[0:00] I am precisely placing a distinction between the two.
[0:16] I am listening to the two senators and as I mentioned
[0:51] and I see the point of Senator Risa, but I am also listening to Senator Marcoleta.
[1:00] It's a, I don't think they are meant to be any offense.
[1:08] Having said that, we are only discussing whether we will take up the amendment or not.
[1:14] And we have exhausted already all the arguments.
[1:18] This is a simple motion, so I move that we divide the house, may retake my motion.
[1:24] Then we can go into the merits and they can try to convince us whether or not we agree.
[1:30] So the motion is to take up the amendment to our rules as proposed by Senator Marcoleta.
[1:42] The objection is that it is not in order because we did not follow our rules.
[1:49] The question is, why is the majority in such a hurry to tackle this motion, this allowing a senator for justifiable reasons to attend and participate in the session through teleconference?
[2:15] Whereas in Rule 14 section 41 under B, it is convenient to hold a session through teleconference, videoconference around the reliable forms of remote or electronic means using appropriate information and communications technology systems due to force majeure, Madam President, or the occurrence of a national emergency?
[2:41] I guess, Madam President, this justifiable reason, what is that?
[2:46] Does that fall under force majeure or does it fall under national emergency, Madam President?
[2:53] My question is, why are we in so hurry?
[2:56] Why are they, the majority, in a hurry to tackle this motion and divide the house, Madam President?
[3:06] We need answers in the minority, Madam Chair.
[3:09] Or is it because, Madam Chair, they are in a hurry because of news reports that probably two of our colleagues might land in jail this weekend?
[3:19] Is that the reason why?
[3:20] Is that the reason why?
[3:21] Is that the reason why?
[3:22] Is that the reason why they have to have this inserted, this section 41c, para makaboto po kung sino man yung makukulong?
[3:26] The announcement .
[3:33] May lanawas po ang warat ng ilansimang sa mga kasama natin, Madam President.
[3:39] That is my question, Madam President.
[3:41] Madam Chair, the gentleman is out of order because this question,
[3:45] because his question can be discussed in the actual motion can be discussed after the motion
[3:57] whether we should take it up we take offense that it's just like us saying are you afraid
[4:06] if we have the hearing on that you do not make that kind of statements here in the Senate
[4:14] because he assumed would fade from everyone that rule may 11 pahu yun so madam chair I move that we divide the house
[4:25] and the voting will be done by a minority leader
[4:31] I move to adjourn I call all these higher presidents madam president
[4:46] so I only see the minority leader representing the minority the others have left
[4:55] madam chair we will not object but for the record they scumpered out and left the minority leader
[5:04] instead of discussing the rule we are not even discussing the rule yet
[5:11] and then ganun na yung allegation nila and no one from the minorities stood up to say that out of order
[5:21] si senator Irwin Tulfo
[5:25] so we will not object madam chair in fact we move that we adjourn till 5pm Monday
[5:32] before that
[5:34] before that
[5:34] before that
[5:35] before that
[5:35] before that
[5:37] before that
[5:39] before that
[5:44] we will indeed adjourn
[5:46] we will indeed adjourn
[5:48] parliamentary inquiry
[5:49] yes sir
[5:50] President Obama Jr.: Noong pong nagsimulan tayo, Madam,
[5:53] meron po ba tayong quorum?
[5:57] President Trump Jr.: Yes, Madam.
[6:01] President Trump Jr.: Kapag ka po ba nag-walk out
[6:03] ang minority, nawawala po yung quorum,
[6:05] nagsimulan po tayo may quorum.
[6:07] It doesn't matter if they walk out.
[6:09] I think we still have the quorum.
[6:12] President Trump Jr.: Madam President,
[6:15] once there is a quorum call, you have to call the room.
[6:18] It doesn't matter if there was a motion to dispense,
[6:24] whatever that is.
[6:26] President Trump Jr.: Not a quorum situation, Madam President,
[6:28] when they are ready and willingly walk out.
[6:32] And if we have covered the room, nothing, Madam President.
[6:35] President Trump Jr.: As reiterated by the Senate President
[6:38] and as conveyed by the minority leader from the Senate President,
[6:42] the rule states that the motion to adjourn takes precedence.
[6:46] I'm not taking sides.
[6:48] President Trump Jr.: And we will adjourn session until 5.00 PM on Monday.
[6:53] President Trump Jr.: June 1, 2026.
[6:57] President Trump Jr.: June 1, the birthday of Senator Langston.
[7:02] President Trump Jr.: So we will have cooler heads.
[7:06] President Trump Jr.: .
