00:00Kasama sa pagpalit ng Senate leadership, ang mga bago ring chairperson ng bawat kumite sa Senado.
00:06Pero para kay Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, hindi niya kikilalanin ang reorganization o pagbabago sa Senado.
00:14Balitang hatid ni Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:19The 69th session of the Senate, in the first regular session of the 20th Congress, is hereby called to order.
00:32Matapos ang dalawang araw na walang session sa Senado, nagbukas ang session pasado alas 3.
00:37With 12 senators present, the chair declares a quorum.
00:44Kumpleto ang labing isang minority senators, nadagdagan sila ng isa.
00:48Si Sen. Cheese Escudero, na bahagi ng majority na bumoto noon para kay Cayetano.
00:54Niyakap siya ng ilang senador nung dumating siya sa plenaryo.
00:57Mr. President, I move to declare all elected positions in the Senate vacant.
01:06Is there any objection?
01:08Second.
01:09Julie seconded, the motion is approved.
01:16Inulukluk si Gatchalian bilang Sen. President pro tempore at kalaunay itinalagang acting Sen. President.
01:22Si Sen. Mig Zubiri naman, ang chair ng Senate Committee on Rules at ng Committee on Foreign Relations.
01:29Si Sen. Erwin Tulfo ay tinilaga bilang chairman ng Blue Ribbon Committee at Social Welfare.
01:34Si Sen. J.V. Ejercito, ang chair ng Finance Committee.
01:38Sen. Tito Soto, chair ng National Defense.
01:41Sen. Ping Lakson, chair ng Public Order Committee at Accounts.
01:46Si Sen. Rafi Tulfo, public services.
01:49Sen. Bam Aquino, basic education.
01:51Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, agriculture.
01:53Sen. Riza Ontiveros, health.
01:55Sen. Lito Lapid, games and amusement.
01:58At Sen. Cheese Escudero sa Committee on Housing.
02:02Itinalaga namang Senate Secretary si Ray Bantug at Senate Sergeant at Arms,
02:07si dating Police Major General Alfredo Soto Corpus.
02:09Article 6, Section 16.5 of the Constitution provides that neither House shall, during sessions of Congress,
02:18adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the other House.
02:23The Senate has been adjourned and unable to resume session for the past two days,
02:30placing us on the brink of constitutional violation had we not convened.
02:36Thus, in the absence of a duly consulted postponement and the continued absence of the former Senate President,
02:43former Senate President Potempore and members of the majority,
02:48we are compelled to call the session to order.
02:50Inilatag niya ang legal na basihan kung bakit labid dalawang senador ang ginawang batayan para maghayag ng quorum
02:57at hindi labid tatlo na majority ng kabuang dalawamput-apat na senador.
03:01The quorum of 12 is based on majority of 22 senators over whom jurisdiction can be obtained by the Senate.
03:11This is in full accord with the ruling of the court in Avellino v. Cuenco
03:17that an absolute majority of 12 out of the 23 members can constitute a constitutional majority of the Senate for
03:26quorum purposes.
03:27Ang tinutukoy na Supreme Court decision ay ibinaba noong March 4, 1949 sa kasong Jose Avellino v. Mariano Cuenco.
03:36Sa naturang kaso, kinilala ng Supreme Court na hindi 24 senators ang dapat pagbatayan ng quorum.
03:42Kaya para sa new majority, 22 senators na lamang ang kabuang bilang nila dahil nakakulong ang isa habang nagtatago naman
03:51ang isa pa.
03:52Binanggit din ni Gatchalian na dati nang nagdeklara ng quorum ng labindalawang senador lang ang nasa plenaryo.
03:59Nangyari yan noong May 5, 2015.
04:02Apat na senador ang nasa ibang bansa noon at tatlo naman ang nakakulong dahil sa PDAF scam.
04:07Ayon kay Gatchalian, kasunod ng nangyari, meron na ngayong functioning Senate.
04:12Ang gusto namin bumalik na sa trabaho.
04:14Hindi tayo pwedeng ganito for the rest of our lives.
04:17Ang dami na kabindi na legislation.
04:19Sa press conference pagkatapos sa sasyon, sinabi ni Sen. Erwin Tulfo na hanggat di nakukuha ng kanilang grupo ang labing
04:28tatlong senador na nanatiling Senate President si Kayatano.
04:31He will be a virtual Senate President. We cannot touch the Senate Presidency because we don't have 13.
04:37Pero sa payag ng binansagang bagong Senate Majority, hindi na raw Senate President si Kayatano matapos ideklarang bakanti ang lahat
04:45ng posisyon.
04:45Anila, hindi palang naihalal si Gatchalian bilang bagong Senate President dahil kailangan ng labing tatlong boto sa ilalim ng konstitusyon.
04:54Sa isang mapahayag, pinuri nila ang desisyon ni Escudero na pumunta sa sasyon.
05:00Ayon kay Escudero, hindi na katanggap-tanggap ang aniyay impasse o di pagkakasundo sa Senado.
05:07Wala raw siyang pinapanigang paksyon, personalidad o aliansa, kundi naninindigan para sa Senado.
05:13He was enlightened. I mean, kaya nga po, niyakap na yan kanina, we were surprised because Sen Migs was already,
05:19we asked Sen Migs, meron bang ikang kapalit, may sinasabi-sabihin, wala naman.
05:26Paano niyo nakonven si Sen. Chee, sir?
05:30Sa isang Facebook Live, sinabi ni Kayatano na wala siyang intensyong kilalanin ang reorganization ng Senate Leadership.
05:37Giit ni Kayatano, labing tatlo ang kanilang bilang para palitan siya at mag-organisan ng Senate Leadership at Committee Assignments.
05:46Ang nakalagay sa konstitusyon ng Pilipinas,
05:50pwedeng magkonduct ng business ang Senado by a majority of all its members.
05:58Ang majority po ng 24 ay 13 po.
06:0113 po ang numero.
06:05Yung sinasabi po nilang kaso, yung po ay ibang-iba.
06:09Nag-adjourn po kami nung nag-walk out sila.
06:12So that means they have to call the roll at kailangan labing tatlo.
06:17Yung binabagit nilang kaso po, inahamon ko lahat ng abogado.
06:22It is not applicable kasi doon po tuloy-tuloy yung sesyon.
06:26So, tinigil, tapos sinabing may continuing korum po sila.
06:31Kung titignan niyo po ang rule 1 and 2 ng Senado,
06:34na ayon ito sa Philippine Constitution,
06:37para i-elect ang Senate President at ang Senate President Pro Temp or Pro Tempore,
06:42ay kailangan po labing tatlo.
06:46So, paano po nila alisin si Sen. Loren Legarda kung 12 lang po sila?
06:52Git din ni Sen. Loren Legarda.
06:54Hindi legal ang paghalal ng Senate President Pro Tempore
06:58kung kulang ang labing tatlong boto batay sa Senate rules.
07:02Ang pansamantalang absence daw ng ilang membro,
07:05hindi dahilan para baliwalain ang kanilang mandato.
07:08Sabi ni Kayatano, hindi siya pwedeng palitang presiding officer.
07:12She or he shall only become acting president in the case of subsection C,
07:17which says, in the event of resignation, hindi po tayo nagre-resign.
07:23Removal, hindi po nila ako naalis.
07:26Death, buhay pa naman po siguro ako, hindi po AI ito.
07:31Hindi po AI ang kumaka-unsap sa inyo ngayon, buhay pa po ako.
07:36Absolute incapacity, siguro naman po nakikita nyo.
07:40Nakakapag-isip po ako, nakakapagsalita po ako.
07:43So, wala pong ground para magkaroon ng acting president.
07:48Senator Wynne, Lucian, Inga Tejan, you're playing around with fire.
07:53This is not just about the Senate, this is about the Philippine Constitution.
07:58Ang venue dapat, ang proper venue ng debate sa plenario,
08:02eh Monday hinintay namin sila, Tuesday hinintay namin sila,
08:05hinintay namin sila, sa Facebook naman siya nag-i-speech.
