Manila Bulletin

'Kunin na nila lahat, Senate presidency, lahat ng committees'  Senator Alan Peter Cayetano said his bloc is willing to give up the Senate presidency and all committee chairmanships during the special session, as long as the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee remains under their control. Cayetano stressed that keeping the panel is important for continuing the hearings and ensuring that the “full truth” comes out, while also urging all sides to attend the proceedings.

00:00So let me sum it up. The Blue Ribbon Committee, habang yan po ay legitimately under sa grupo, we will

00:08support Senator Dante Marcoleta. He is under much pressure. Baka nga kasuhan na daw. Baka labasan na ng warrant of

00:16arrest. Hindi niya magamit yung session hall or ano and then yung coordination sa labas. Napakahirap po.

00:23So, witnesses, be strong, be steady in any way you can. Tell your story because you never know if you'll

00:33have the opportunity or not. Special session, we continue to discuss but obvious sa amin, ang target dito ay kunin

00:41ang Blue Ribbon Committee at i-secure yung Senate Presidency.

00:44Actually, pinag-usapan namin ng grupo, kunin na nila lahat. Senate Presidency, lahat ng committees. Pero kung sincere sila, iwan

00:52sa atin yung Blue Ribbon Committee para ang buong katotohanan.

00:55Mag-attend sila. Hindi naman natin gusto ng hearing na isang side lang nandun pero hindi bibigay. Supreme Court, pray

01:02that it will be taken up. Pray for all the justices. Pray na ma-articulate ng both sides yung kanilang

01:07stand.

01:08Diba? Tapos, Senate, pag-pray nyo po. Kasi ang Senate is the last bastion of democracy.

01:13Yun ang sinasabi na, ibig sabihin po, pag napatahimik na lahat, nandyan yan.
