[2:47] Senator Francis Villeneva is recognized before. [2:51] Because once we start the vote, we cannot recognize anyone. [2:53] Yes, Mr. President. [2:54] Just a clarification as to seats or positions. [2:57] Are we speaking of all positions? [3:01] The motion is all positions vacant. [3:03] Which positions?

[5:36] With 13 affirmative votes, 10 negative votes and one abstention. [6:01] The positions, and all the positions in the Senate is here, I declare vacant. [6:06] With that, Mr. President, may I move, therefore, to nominate Senator Alan Peter Cayetano as the new Senate President. [6:19] Are you designating me as the presiding officer? [6:26] Because I am, the position is already vacant. [6:29] I think you must elect somebody to take the position. [6:33] I am no longer the presiding officer, so you designate a presiding officer. [6:40] In the meantime, I suspend session. [6:43] With the session resumed, may I herewith move and nominate Senator Jinggoy Estrada as the temporary presiding officer. [6:54] Any objection? [6:55] There being none, the motion of Senator Aimee Marcos is hereby approved. [7:05] Please proceed. [7:07] Mr. President, may we also nominate Senator Joel as the temporary or acting majority leader. [7:13] There is a motion by Senator Alan Peter Cayetano that Senator Joel Villar-Marc be made an acting majority floor leader. [7:22] Is there any objection? [7:24] There being none, the motion is approved. [7:26] Mr. President, there was a nomination by Senator Aimee Marcos to elect Senator Alan Peter Cayetano to be our Senate President. [7:46] And I don't think, Mr. President, that there's no objection, Mr. President. [7:51] And so, I move that we close the period of nomination, Mr. President. [7:56] Is there any objection? [7:58] There being none, the period. [8:00] Yes. [8:00] Is that an objection, Senator Pangilinan? [8:02] Um, we do not object because we do not have the numbers, but we would like to manifest our serious reservations, Mr. President, for the record. [8:18] Noted, Senator Pangilinan. [8:21] There is a pending motion by Senator Villanueva to close the period of nomination. [8:27] Is there any objection? [8:30] There being none, the motion is hereby approved. [8:35] Majority Leader. [8:37] May we ask, Mr. President, the newly elected Senate President to take his oath, Mr. President, and suspend the session. [8:44] The session is hereby suspended. [8:45] Senator Alan Peter Cayetano takes over as Senate President after a successful move to oust Senator Tito Soto. [8:55] On Monday, May 11, 13 senators voted in favor of Cayetano while nine senators voted for Soto. [9:02] Two senators abstained from voting. [9:04] The leadership change occurred shortly after the session opened. [9:07] Cayetano informed his colleagues on the Senate floor that they have enough numbers for a leadership change [9:13] and apologized to Soto for how the matter was raised during the session. [9:17] After a brief suspension of the session, Senator Joel Villanueva moved to declare all Senate seats vacant. [9:23] The Senate approves the motion with a 13-10-1 vote. [9:27] Senator Aimee Marcos then nominated Cayetano as the new Senate President, while Senator Panfilolaqson nominated Soto. [9:33] Why are you here, sir? [12:25] This is the Senate. [12:27] Wala silang, wala silang, wala silang, wala silang, silang sbito sa istitusyon ng Senado. [12:33] Wala silang NBI. [12:38] Ano pong plano niyo, sir, sa ginawa siin niyo, sir? [12:40] Pag-usap kami. [12:43] Oo. [12:43] Mag-usap kami namin. [12:44] But why are you here, sir? [12:45] Bakit po kayo napapasok today, sir? [12:48] Ay, Iago, Senator Miss Republic, kung hindi ko mapasok, kinaanap niyo ako. [12:52] Di ba? [12:52] Ngayon mapasok ako, tatanungin niyo ako, bakit ako mamasok? [12:55] Patis, sir, may kinalaman sa pag-goo, sir, para makabuo ng numbers po? [13:01] Lahat yan, trabaho na si Tanur. [13:05] The Criminal Investigation and Attention Group of the Philippine National Police issues the subpoena against Senator Bato de la Rosa. [13:12] The subpoena requires the senator to personally attend the investigation into alleged extrajudicial killings in Davao City. [13:19] Through a subpoena du Sisteko, de la Rosa is ordered to appear at the CIDG office in Camp Crame on Thursday, May 14 at 10 a.m. [13:27] The subpoena says the senator must clarify matters, execute a sworn statement or affidavit, and submit documents related to the investigation. [13:35] Makikita po natin sa nasabi ng subpoena sa Sisteko na nilahan na niligitahan sa Saratang Bato de la Rosa na po mga Mueves o May 14, aros 10 a.m. [13:50] Ito po ay may kongnayang sa mga tatto ng mga kongrena. [13:55] Kung may mga kongrena, mga mga kongrena po, mga mga kongrena po, hindi lang city director ng Davao. [14:00] The La Rosa served as chief of the Davao City Police from 2013 to 2016 during the term of former President Rodrigo Duterte as mayor. [14:08] He later became the Philippine National Police Chief from 2016 to 2018 under the Duterte administration. [14:14] It was during this period that the government's war on drugs took place.

[16:44] Nandito ko ngayon. [16:46] Nandito ko, pinakita ko sa inyo yung warrant. [16:48] Nandito ko, pinakita ko, pinakita ko, pinakita ko, pinakita ko. [16:52] In the meantime, I'd like to move, Mr. President, [16:56] that in the light of the recent adoption of the Senate, [17:00] of Senate Resolution No. 44, [17:03] I move that Senator Batobi place under the Senate Protective Custody, Mr. President, [17:11] until he is able to get all and exhaust all legal remedies to protect himself. [17:25] And until this institution is also able to do just the same. [17:32] Mr. President, Article 59 of Rome's statute is very, very clear. [17:43] It's very, very clear. [17:45] Even for the sake of an argument that there is a valid warrant of arrest against our colleague, [17:52] Article 59 still states that the arresting, [17:58] the person to be arrested must be promptly delivered to a competent judicial authority [18:04] in order to accomplish at least three things. [18:09] Number one, to identify or to ascertain the identity of the person being arrested. [18:17] Number two, whether the processes, the legal processes have been observed. [18:23] And number three, whether or not his rights were protected. [18:26] This is very, very important for purposes of protecting the due process and the rule of law, [18:35] which our colleague can avail, Mr. President. [18:42] The motion is consistent with our rules, [18:45] is consistent with Senate Resolution No. 44, [18:52] is consistent with precedence. [18:54] So is there any objection? [18:58] If not, the motion is carried. [19:02] Mr. President, consistent with past practices, [19:19] Senator Bato will enjoy the protection of the law [19:28] and the protection of the Senate in accordance with our rules and with Philippine laws. [19:31] Please, Nuria, excuse me. [19:54] And now, not to be able to cast this into freedom right now. [19:58] Okay, sorry, sir. [19:59] Calm, calm. [20:03] Calm, calm. [20:04] Calm. [20:07] Okay. [20:07] fed up, let's all go and do it. [20:11] What are you going to do? [20:15] What do you want? [20:19] What would you want to do? [20:23] What are you going to do? [20:27] What are you going to do? [20:31] Why are you going to do this? [20:33] Oh [21:06] There was an earlier inquiry by this representation which led to the body's unanimous consent [21:31] to move, that we cite in contempt those individuals running after Senator Bato de la Rosa, [21:41] trying to block him from doing his job. And until such a time that they can satisfactorily explain to us what happened, Mr. President, [21:56] the body, with the permission of everyone here, that we move, that we cite these individuals in contempt. [22:05] So move, Mr. President. [22:06] Is there any objection? If not the John Doe's and Jane Doe's as identified individuals are held in contempt, [22:15] I am directing the OSA to put in custody, Senate custody, to the said individuals and to detain them in the Senate premises. [22:30] If they need assistance, you are authorized to coordinate with the Pasay City PNP until such time that those held in contempt [22:43] can purge themselves of contempt, meaning to satisfy us with their explanation. [22:52] Well, no, we agreed that, kasi mga mga commotion na lang yan, so some of our agents were put in contempt, so they're in contempt, [23:01] but the Senate President agreed that he will be under, although sa NBI was in contempt, he will be under custody, [23:08] and we will have a change of, on backpinding, and magkakaroon kami na exchange ng backpinding. Okay? [23:14] Anong mangyayari sa nyo? Yung kungkol dun sa mga kinuntem. Yung siyang? Yung siyang, o. [23:19] Anong mangyayari sa kanyo, sir? So they're still in contempt, but they will be placed under my custody. [23:23] Under the custody ng FBI? Of the FBI. So we'll do our own factpinding. May factpinding na yung Senate, then we'll have to compare. [23:28] Pumayag yung mga senators sa ganon. Okay naman, o. And I'm very thankful na ganon, so that we can all go home, ano. [23:33] Yung warant, sir? Yung ICC warant is there already, and there was also a resolution, I understand, [23:40] that the Senate mentioned that Senator Bato will be under his custody. [23:46] So kami naman, on the executive side, will respect the co-equal branch sila, di ba? [23:51] So we will hope that pagkailangan sumagot ni Sen. Bato doon sa mga kailangang sagotin legally, [23:58] mandato ka naman yung invitation and all. So the Senate will be ready to present Sen. Bato also. [24:03] So hindi siya arastuhin lang NBI? Well, dahil they're already put in the custody of the Senate. [24:09] So we will recognize that, and we'll just hope that when it's needed, [24:13] Sen. Bato will be available also to answer. [24:15] So deemed served na yung ICC warant? [24:18] Well, we'll have communication with DOJ and DCTC also, and of course the Interpol, [24:25] that if there's any invitation or anything that will be communicated, [24:30] probably we'll suggest that it should be channeled to the Senate president. [24:34] So kayo, sir, paalis na rin kayo? Kasama niya yung siyam? [24:37] Yes, not kami. [24:39] Keri, under what grounds po yung arrest warrant from the ICC? [24:43] Well, it's the same, yung kaso niya sa ICC. [24:46] Yung nakasama niya si President Nadel, pa former President Nadel, yung mga EJK. [24:53] Today, the judges of Pretrial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court unsealed an arrest warrant for Ronald Marapon de la Rosa. [25:02] The arrest warrant was originally issued as secret on the 6th of November, 2025. [25:10] Mr. de la Rosa is alleged to have committed the crime against humanity of murder at least between the 3rd of July 2016 and the end of April 2018, [25:21] during which no less than 32 persons were killed in the Republic of the Philippines. [25:28] The judges assessed the material submitted by the prosecution and found reasonable grounds to believe that Mr. de la Rosa is allegedly criminally responsible as an indirect co-perpetrator for the crime against humanity of murder. [25:45] Mr. de la Rosa is alleged to have been involved in a common plan that lasted from approximately the 1st of November 2011 until the 16th of March 2019 to kill alleged criminals in the Philippines, [26:03] including those perceived or alleged to be associated with drug use, sale or production. [26:11] During that period, Mr. de la Rosa was a police officer and he held various positions in the Philippine National Police, in the Davao Region, [26:21] and in the PNP Intelligence Group and Directorate for Human Resource and Doctrine Development, [26:29] the position of Chief of the Philippine National Police, and the position of Director General of the Bureau of Corrections. [26:38] It is now for the national authorities to arrest and surrender the suspect to the ICC. [26:52] The Chair would like to manifest that I was informed by the Secretariat of a correction in the result of the nominal voting on the House Resolution No. 989 that the body earlier adopted. [27:04] The correct result is as follows, affirmative 257 instead of 255, negative 25 instead of 26, and abstention remains at 9. [27:20] In view thereof, let the records reflect the said result. [27:23] Majority Leader. [27:25] Mr. Speaker, I move to endorse to the Senate the resolution setting forth the Articles of Impeachment, [27:31] together with all the annexes pursuant to the rules of the House on impeachment proceedings. [27:37] Further, I further move that the Secretary-General be directed to prepare and transmit the same to the Senate for appropriate action [27:46] in accordance with the Constitution and the rules of the House. [27:51] Is there any objection? [27:52] The Chair hears none. [27:53] The motion is approved. [27:55] The resolution setting forth the Articles of Impeachment, together with all annexes, is hereby endorsed to the Senate. [28:03] Mr. Speaker, as soon as the Articles of Impeachment are transmitted, I further move to furnish the respondent, [28:09] the complainants, and the Council's copies of the committee report and the resolution setting forth the Articles of Impeachment, including its annexes. [28:18] Is there any objection? [28:19] The Chair hears none. [28:21] The motion is approved. [28:22] The Secretary-General is so directed. [28:24] Vice President Sara Duterte says the attempt to arrest Senator Bato de la Rosa over an International Criminal Court warrant was wrong. [28:33] In an interview with the Filipino community in The Hague, the Netherlands, on Monday, May 11, [28:38] Duterte was asked about the Senate lockdown following attempts to serve the ICC warrant against de la Rosa. [28:43] Malik yan. [28:44] Kulad ng ginawa nila kay dating Takulong Rodrigo Duterte, malik din yun. [28:50] No? [28:51] Dahil ang isang warrant of arrest galing sa labas ng Pilipinas, hindi issued by a Philippine court, should be presented in a Philippine court. [29:02] The ICC on Monday confirmed the authenticity of the arrest warrant issued against de la Rosa. [29:07] The ICC prosecutors earlier identified de la Rosa as one of former President Rodrigo Duterte's co-perpetrators in the crimes against humanity case linked to the administration's war on drugs. [29:18] De la Rosa was later placed under Senate protective custody. [29:21] This came after National Bureau of Investigation agents attempted to serve the warrant. [29:25] The agents also allegedly tried to prevent de la Rosa from entering the session hall. [29:29] This prompted a lockdown inside the Senate complex. [29:32] De la Rosa had been absent from Senate session since November 11, 2025. [29:36] He resurfaced on Monday and joined the voting that removed former Senate President Tito Soto III from the chamber's top post. [29:44] Families of drug war victims urged the Senate not to block the arrest and surrender of Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa to the International Criminal Court. [29:54] On Monday, May 11, the Senate placed de la Rosa under protective custody amid the possibility of his arrest over his alleged involvement in former President Rodrigo Duterte's anti-drill campaign. [30:04] The move came after former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV presented the reporters with a copy of the arrest warrant. [30:11] The ICC also confirmed that its pre-trial chamber one issued the warrant on November 6, 2025. [30:16] The 16-page warrant was initially issued confidentially and under seal. [30:20] It was made public on Monday after Philippine authorities circulated copies of the document to the media. [30:25] In a press release on Tuesday, May 12, Rise Up for Life and for Rights Coordinator Rubilin Litau says the Senate should respect the Philippine government's international obligations. [30:35] She also says the Senate should allow de la Rosa's arrest and surrender to the ICC. [30:39] Rise Up for Life and for Rights is a Philippine-based network of families and human rights defenders advocating for justice for victims of extrajudicial killings. [30:47] Rise Up members add that they have long been waiting for Duterte and de la Rosa to reunite in an ICC jail cell. [30:53] According to Human Rights Watch, Duterte's war on drugs has resulted in more than 12,000 deaths since he assumed office in 2016. [31:00] The group says at least 2,555 killings have been linked to the Philippine National Police. [31:06] Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa appeals to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to protect Filipinos against what he describes as extrajudicial rendition. [31:17] In an interview at the Senate on Tuesday, May 12, de la Rosa says he is not angry with the President. [31:22] He also says he believes Marcos has no personal anger toward him. [31:25] De la Rosa then urges Marcos to protect Filipinos from being taken to another country. [31:30] He says this is the President's moral obligation and not only his constitutional mandate. [31:34] The ICC earlier issued a one-half arrest against de la Rosa over his alleged involvement in the Duterte administration's war on drugs. [31:41] He also criticizes what he describes as overarching actions by the ICC. [31:46] De la Rosa also warns that Marcos could eventually face the same situation. [31:50] Former President Duterte has been detained at the ICC since the Philippine government surrendered him in March 2025. [31:56] The Senator again appeals to Marcos to protect Filipinos facing similar situations. [32:01] De la Rosa refuses to speculate on whether Marcos had any involvement in the attempts to arrest him. [32:06] He also says he is willing to face any case against him as long as it falls within Philippine jurisdiction. [32:11] Senator Alan Cayetano's regular. [33:01] Sir President, first and foremost, I'd like to thank God for the opportunity to serve with all of you. [33:09] And it's a distinct privilege to serve with the Senate President. [33:12] You've always been a statesman, at least to me. [33:17] And I believe even in the bills that we disagree. [33:20] And when I was Majority Leader, you were Minority Leader. [33:24] When you were the Majority Leader, I was the Minority Leader. [33:30] I had the privilege to work with you when you were Senate President and I was Speaker. [33:36] We disagreed, but we found a way to disagree in private and then work together for the country. [33:43] So I really admire your statement yesterday saying that you serve at the pleasure of the body. [33:50] So may I manifest that there are now at least 13 members of the Senate who wish to have a leadership change. [33:59] And that Senator Bato De La Rosa is in the building and will be here in a minute. [34:05] So may I kindly inform and apologize to the Senate President that for security reasons, [34:13] I could not go up to you earlier to ask you and tell you this, but had to inform you this way. [34:20] But I give you all my respect and ask for an orderly transition in accordance with our rule, Mr. President. [34:28] To Senator Joel, who will make a motion, Mr. President? [34:32] Senator Joel Villeneva is recognized. [34:34] Mr. President, may I be allowed to humbly move to declare all seats vacant, Mr. President? [34:44] What does the Majority Leader say? [34:51] There is a motion to declare all positions vacant in the Senate. [34:55] Mr. President, under a rule that takes precedence, we'll have to vote on it. [34:58] We'll ask for a roll call vote for the motion of Senator Joel Villeneva. [35:03] So a roll call vote is in order. [35:06] The Secretary will conduct a roll call. [35:09] Senator Francis Pangilino is recognized before. [35:13] Because once we start the vote, we cannot recognize anyone. [35:16] Yes, Mr. President. [35:17] Mr. President. [35:18] Just a clarification as to seats or positions. [35:20] Are we speaking of all positions? [35:23] The motion is all positions vacant. [35:27] Which positions? [35:28] Just for the record. [35:29] All positions. [35:30] All positions of elected, of the leadership. [35:34] Okay. [35:35] Thank you. [35:36] Thank you, Mr. President. [35:37] All right. [35:40] The Secretary will conduct a roll call vote. [35:42] The motion is to declare all positions vacant. [35:49] A vote in agreement is a yes and a no for the other side. [35:56] Go ahead. [35:57] Roll call of members. [35:59] Honorable Senator Aquino. [36:02] Senator Cayetano Alan. [36:03] Senator Cayetano Pia. [36:05] Senator De La Rosa. [36:06] Senator Ejercito. [36:09] Senator Escudero. [36:10] Senator Estrada. [36:11] Senator Gachalian. [36:14] Excuse me. [36:15] We cannot hear the votes of the people. [36:20] Please rise and say your vote.

[38:23] The positions and all the positions in the Senate is hero I declared vacant. [38:29] With that, Mr. President, may I move, therefore, to nominate Senator Alan Peter Cayetano as the new Senate President. [38:42] You designating me as the presiding officer because I am the position is already vacant. [38:53] I think you must elect somebody to take the position. [38:56] I am no longer the presiding officer. [38:59] So you designate a presiding officer. [39:03] In the meantime, I suspend session. [39:04] Yes, sir. [39:05] With the session resumed, may I herewith move and nominate Senator Jinggoy Estrada as the temporary presiding officer. [39:17] Any objection? [39:18] Any objection? [39:20] There being none. [39:21] The motion of Senator Aimee Marcos is hereby approved. [39:23] Please proceed. [39:29] Mr. President, may we also nominate Senator Joel as the temporary or acting majority leader. [39:36] There is a motion by Senator Alan Peter Cayetano that Senator Joel Villanueva be made an acting majority floor leader. [39:45] Is there any objection? [39:47] There being none. [39:48] The motion is approved. [39:49] Mr. President, there was a nomination by Senator Aimee Marcos to elect Senator Alan Peter Cayetano to be our Senate President. [40:09] And I don't think, Mr. President, that there's no objection, Mr. President. [40:15] And so I move that we close the period of nomination, Mr. President. [40:19] Is there an objection? [40:20] There being none. [40:22] The period. [40:23] Yes. [40:24] Is that an objection, Senator Pangilinan? [40:26] We do not object because we do not have the numbers. [40:35] But we would like to manifest our serious reservations, Mr. President. [40:40] For the record. [40:41] Noted, Senator Pangilinan. [40:43] There is a pending motion by Senator Villanueva to close the period of nomination. [40:50] Is there any objection? [40:53] There being none. [40:54] Motion is hereby approved. [40:55] Attorney Leader. [40:59] May we ask, Mr. President, the newly elected Senate President to take his oath, Mr. President, and suspend the session? [41:07] The session is hereby suspended. [41:12] Senator Alan Peter Cayetano takes over as Senate President after a successful move to oust Senator Tito Soto. [41:19] On Monday, May 11, 13 senators voted in favor of Cayetano while nine senators voted for Soto. [41:25] Two senators abstained from voting. [41:27] The leadership change occurred shortly after the session opened. [41:31] Cayetano informed his colleagues on the Senate floor that they have enough numbers for a leadership change and apologized to Soto for how the matter was raised during the session. [41:40] After a brief suspension of the session, Senator Joel Villanueva moved to declare all Senate seats vacant. [41:46] The Senate approves the motion with a 13-10-1 vote. [41:50] Senator Aimee Marcos then nominated Cayetano as the new Senate President while Senator Panfilo Lacso nominated Soto. [41:57] Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto Soto S [44:51] What are your plans, sir, to talk to us? [45:05] Yes. [45:07] Why are you here, sir? Why are you here today, sir? [45:10] I am the senator of this republic. [45:12] If I'm not here, I will meet you. [45:14] Right? [45:15] If I'm here, I will ask you why I'm here. [45:17] But, sir, may I know about you, sir, [45:21] so you can get all the numbers. [45:23] It's all the work of the senator. [45:28] The Criminal Investigation and Attention Group [45:30] of the Philippine National Police issues the subpoena [45:33] against Senator Bato de la Rosa. [45:35] The subpoena requires the senator to personally attend the investigation [45:39] into alleged extrajudicial killings in Davao City. [45:42] Through a subpoena du Sisteko, [45:44] de la Rosa is ordered to appear at the CIDG office in Camp Crame [45:47] on Thursday, May 14 at 10 a.m. [45:50] The subpoena says the senator must clarify matters, [45:53] execute a sworn statement or affidavit, [45:56] and submit documents related to the investigation. [45:59] Ito po natin sa nasabi sa philicisteko [46:01] na nilahan na inibidahan sa Sirta de la Rosa [46:04] na report ng Webes o May 14, [46:10] aros this month. [46:12] Ito po ay may kongnayan sa mga [46:15] tatlo ng mga pagkainan. [46:17] Kongnayan po, [46:18] na mga usapin mo kami parang pula [46:19] ang bilang city director ng Davao. [46:22] Dalarosa served as chief of the Davao City Police from 2013 to 2016 [46:27] during the term of former President Rodrigo Duterte as mayor. [46:30] He later became the Philippine National Police Chief from 2016 to 2018 [46:34] under the Duterte administration. [46:36] It was during this period that the government's war on drugs took place. [46:40] Mayroon. [46:54] So, [46:57] ito po sa akin niya, [46:59] ito sa sabi ni Matto. [47:01] Sasabahan ko daw siya eh. [47:03] Ako lang magpaposa sa kanya, [47:06] kaya natin ko siya. [47:08] Pero may kasama doon kayo ng mga kasama ng MBI. [47:10] May kasasab ng Warangkay ba niya? [47:12] Oh, kasasab ng Warangkay ba to? [47:14] Warangkay na siya? [47:16] Yes yes, ICC Wara. [47:27] Hindi, andi dito lang naman ako dahil sinabi niya, nirequest niya na samahan po yung pagkaresto. Andi dito ko ngayon, naka-resto niya. [47:35] So, yun natin natin siya. [47:42] Diba, sabi niya, diba, samahan, ano to eh, make his day, diba, sabi niya, make my day. [47:48] I wanted to do it, but I didn't want to do it. [47:52] You're together with the team. [47:55] Personal request is to do it. [47:58] I wanted to do it. [48:01] I wanted to do it right now. [48:04] That's why I'm here. [48:08] I wanted to do it with the NBI. [48:11] The NBI is a favorite of the ICC warrants. [48:15] Yes, yes. [48:17] Can't they talk to me, can't they talk to me? [48:20] Sir, you can't give me a talk. [48:23] Did they talk to me? [48:26] I'm going to make a heart. [48:28] If I had a heart, I'm going to be happy with him. [48:31] I got a heart! [48:32] I'm going to make a heart then, I'm going to be happy with him. [48:34] Sir, the reaction is that he was going to hit me. [48:35] He was convinced that him was in the NBI. [48:37] He's like, hey, you're actually going to hit me. [48:39] I can't miss him, but it's the NBI. [48:41] I feel like... [48:45] I need to be happy with him. [48:48] In the meantime, I'd like to move, Mr. President, that in the light of [49:20] the recent adoption of the Senate, of Senate Resolution No. 44, I moved that Senator Batobi [49:29] placed under the Senate Protective Custody, Mr. President, until he is able to get all [49:42] and exhaust all legal remedies to protect himself, and until this institution is also [49:51] able to do just the same. Mr. President, Article 59 of Rome's statute is very, very clear. [50:05] It's very, very clear. Even for the sake of an argument that there is a valid warrant of [50:11] arrest against our colleague, Article 59 still states that the arresting, the person to be [50:22] arrested must be promptly delivered to a competent judicial authority in order to accomplish at [50:30] least three things. Number one, to identify or to ascertain the identity of the person [50:37] being arrested. Number two, whether the processes, the legal processes have been observed. And [50:45] number three, whether or not his rights were protected. This is very, very important for [50:52] purposes of protecting the due process and the rule of law, which our colleague can avail, [51:00] Mr. President. The motion is consistent with our rules, is consistent with Senate Resolution [51:10] No. 44, is consistent with precedence. So is there any objection? If not, the motion is carried. [51:25] Mr. President. Consistent with past practices, Senator Bato will enjoy the protection of the law and the [51:50] protection of the Senate in accordance with our rules and with Philippine laws. [52:07] KALMA, KALMA. [52:14] KALMA, KALMA. [52:20] KALMA, KALMA. [52:25] KALMA, KALMA. [52:28] LUMALABAS NA YANG PROPA NAMIN, PINIPIGILAN, ANONG VIOLATION NAMIN? [52:34] I don't want to refuse the [52:49] Mr. I like that too. [52:53] Mr. It's been locked down. [52:55] How can my name be? [53:03] Mr. This is an additionalpez. [53:07] Mr. This is a special venue. [53:09] Mr. This is a special venue. [53:10] Mr. This is a special venue. [53:16] Mr. It's not a special venue. [53:18] Mr. Will you dance? [53:20] Mr. Will you dance? [53:22] There was an earlier inquiry by this representation [53:44] which led to the body's unanimous consent to move [53:53] that we cite in contempt those individuals running after Senator Bato De La Rosa [54:00] trying to block him from doing his job [54:06] and until such a time that they can satisfactorily explain to us [54:14] what happened, Mr. President, the body, with the permission of everyone here [54:22] that we move, that we cite these individuals in contempt. [54:27] So moved, Mr. President. [54:28] Is there any objection? [54:31] If not, the John Doe's and Jane Doe's identified individual held in contempt, [54:37] I am directing the OSA to put in custody, Senate custody, [54:45] to the said individuals and to detain them in the Senate premises. [54:51] If they need assistance, you're authorized to coordinate with the Pasay City PNP [55:00] until such time that those held in contempt can purge themselves of contempt, [55:07] meaning to satisfy us with their explanation. [55:13] Well, no, we agreed that the Chair would like to manifest [56:55] that I was informed by the Secretariat of a correction in the result of the nominal voting [57:00] on the House Resolution No. 989 that the body earlier adopted. [57:06] The correct result is as follows. [57:11] Affirmative 257 instead of 255. [57:15] Negative 25 instead of 26. [57:19] And abstention remains at 9. [57:21] In view thereof, let the records reflect the said result. [57:25] Majority Leader. [57:26] Mr. Speaker, I move... [57:28] ...consider the same. [1:05:49] Mr. President, before we do that, may we... [1:05:53] The gentleman from Cavite, Senator Ping Laxon, is seeking the floor. [1:05:58] I move that he be recognized, Mr. President. [1:05:59] Senator Ping Laxon is... [1:06:01] Thank you, Mr. President. [1:06:02] Before we approve the journal, before we act on the motion of the acting majority leader, [1:06:09] I have a parliamentary inquiry. [1:06:13] Yesterday, two motions were made. [1:06:15] The first one made by Senator Villanueva, citing in contempt of the Senate, [1:06:23] the NBI agents who allegedly tried to prevent Senator De La Rosa from attending yesterday's session. [1:06:30] And the second one, concerning the proposed amendments to the rules made by... [1:06:36] A motion made by Senator Marcoleta. [1:06:38] On the first motion, Mr. President, I would just like to ask how my vote was counted. [1:06:48] There was no division of the House. [1:07:01] I have a copy of the PSN of yesterday's session, Mr. President. [1:07:09] And it says, which led to the... [1:07:12] And I quote, in part, which led to the body's unanimous consent to move that we cite in contempt [1:07:20] those individuals running after Senator Ronald Bato De La Rosa. [1:07:26] Mr. President, as per our rules, particularly Rule 41, Section 117, it says here, [1:07:34] the vote of a senator absent from the session at the moment he is called to vote, shall not be counted. [1:07:41] At that time, we were at the lounge, along with Senator Tito Soto, Senator Risa, Senator Kiko, [1:07:50] and Senator Miggs. [1:07:51] We were at the lounge, and we were monitoring the proceedings, the ongoing session. [1:07:58] And to say that my vote is counted along with the others, because it says here unanimous, [1:08:05] that's why I stood up before we approved the journal. [1:08:09] For a full explanation of that, I will refer you to the Committee on Rules, [1:08:14] because to my knowledge, that is the tradition of this chamber. [1:08:18] When we pass resolutions, and there's no objection, [1:08:22] whoever is present during that time is counted as to have voted for it. [1:08:31] That has been the tradition, even during the time of Senator Soto. [1:08:34] Thank you, Mr. President. [1:08:35] But if that is the inquiry, so that we can set straight our rules and the records, [1:08:40] if the gentleman wishes, I will refer you to the Committee on Rules [1:08:44] and ask them to report out, maybe by Monday. [1:08:46] Thank you, Mr. President. [1:08:47] And except that Rule 41, as I mentioned, Section 117, [1:08:52] maliwanan po sinasabi, pagkawala yung senator sa session hall, [1:08:57] at the moment he is called to vote, shall not be counted. [1:09:02] Yes. [1:09:03] Which, for example, the resolution against the Chinese ambassador, [1:09:11] many of us weren't in the session hall, [1:09:13] pero nung sinabing no objection, kinount din lahat. [1:09:17] So, in many, many periods. [1:09:19] But I see the gentleman's point, and if we want to be accurate, [1:09:24] then let's ask the Committee on Rules, [1:09:29] which includes the minority, [1:09:32] to come out with a better formulation. [1:09:33] Let it be placed on record, Mr. President, [1:09:37] that my manifestation does not in any way showing sympathy [1:09:44] with the NBI agents who grappled with our colleague here. [1:09:49] In the first place, Senator De La Rosa is a fellow cavalier, [1:09:53] not to mention a former subordinate in the defunct presidential anti-organized [1:09:57] crime task force, and he's a fellow senator. [1:10:03] So, just to set the record straight. [1:10:07] And for the record, Senator Laxon has always stood up [1:10:11] if he thinks that there's a misapplication of the rules. [1:10:15] But just on that point of the NBI, [1:10:17] I think we're far from going into the whole truth, [1:10:21] because early this morning, things 7 a.m., [1:10:24] I was watching the videos. [1:10:26] I saw, I do not know whose vehicle it is, [1:10:28] but it's a white vehicle with a 7. [1:10:33] Lumalabas ng Senate, [1:10:35] pinipilit ng NBI na ocular inspection at tignan sa loob, [1:10:41] which is a violation if you do it anywhere in the country, [1:10:46] but right outside our gates. [1:10:48] So, although we agreed with the NBI director for our fact-finding, [1:10:52] I think this issue is far from over. [1:10:54] So, I thank you, Senator Laxon, [1:10:55] for making that nuance that you are talking about the rules, [1:11:01] not the sentiment of the Senate to protect our integrity. [1:11:07] On the substantive aspect of my manifestation, Mr. President, [1:11:12] para lang hindi na maulit, [1:11:14] kasi meron tayong jurisprudence, [1:11:16] yung Ong, remember Lincoln Ong of the Parmali controversy, [1:11:23] GR No. 257401. [1:11:25] Bago po ito, ito yung leading case, March 2023. [1:11:30] Sinabi ng Supreme Court, [1:11:31] and I'll just mention the separate concurring opinion [1:11:35] of the no less than the Chief Justice, Alex Gismundo. [1:11:39] Sinabi rito, [1:11:40] as succinctly pointed out by the Chief Justice, [1:11:46] Alexander G. Gismundo, [1:11:47] witnesses who are charged by Congress [1:11:49] with giving false or a basic test, [1:11:52] this is pertaining to the committee hearings, [1:11:55] pero must be accorded stricter due process. [1:11:58] Yes. So yung nangyari kahapon, Mr. President, [1:12:01] and I was about to ask again, [1:12:04] if it was a direct contempt or an indirect contempt. [1:12:09] Because if it was an indirect contempt, [1:12:11] all the more that they should have been asked to explain first [1:12:17] before they were cited in contempt of the Senate [1:12:19] and thereafter taken under the custody of the Senate. [1:12:24] So procedurally incorrect or infirm yung ating ginawa. [1:12:29] Kaya ko lang pinapoint out para i-correct lang natin yung ating sarili. [1:12:32] So, the minority leader, [1:12:36] the former Senate President first before I comment. [1:12:38] Yes, Mr. President. [1:12:40] Thank you, Mr. President. [1:12:43] Do I take it that you mean that the practice that we've had before [1:12:51] is that when a vote is taken and no one objects, [1:12:59] those who answered the call of the roll are deemed present [1:13:07] and are deemed that have approved? [1:13:12] I found out when they voted on the resolution [1:13:16] where I interpolated Senator Pangilinan. [1:13:20] So I was in my room, not on the floor. [1:13:23] And I explained to me that that's the procedure. [1:13:27] So even under your Senate presidency, minority leader. [1:13:31] So that's why I was answering Senator Laxon that I see his point. [1:13:36] But to my knowledge, that is the tradition. [1:13:40] Yes, I agree. [1:13:41] As a matter of fact, I agree with what you said [1:13:44] in your answer to Senator Laxon. [1:13:46] But my point, Mr. President, then in that case, [1:13:51] then one of us or I who have voted in favor [1:13:55] based on our tradition would like a reconsideration, [1:14:00] a motion for reconsideration of the motion to contempt. [1:14:03] To contempt. [1:14:04] Not because it is, again, like what Senator Laxon mentioned, [1:14:11] it does not have anything to do with the people of the NBI [1:14:15] or us or Senator Bato, it's only based on rules. [1:14:19] Yes. [1:14:19] Why? [1:14:20] So can we move for reconsideration, Mr. President, [1:14:24] so I can explain why? [1:14:26] That is your right, minority leader. [1:14:27] All right. [1:14:28] Thank you, sir. [1:14:28] Anyone who on record voted for any motion has the right during the next day. [1:14:35] And actually, we're in the same session day within two session days. [1:14:41] And technically, we're in the same session day. [1:14:43] So it is your right to move for reconsideration. [1:14:46] Then the majority leader will either adhere or will object. [1:14:50] All right. [1:14:51] Correct. [1:14:52] Thank you, Mr. President. [1:14:53] Now, here's the point. [1:14:56] Based on our rules, the rules of the Senate, [1:15:01] and it is consistent with the fact of the contempt of power of the Senate [1:15:05] is limited only during inquiries in aid of legislation. [1:15:10] This is what the Committee on Rules will have to tackle [1:15:13] in that particular motion to sign in contempt anyone from the session hall. [1:15:19] The impeachment court is empowered too, but not the Senate. [1:15:23] I cannot find it in the rules, though. [1:15:26] You know, Section 18 of the Senate Resolution No. 5, [1:15:30] the rules of procedure governing inquiries in aid of legislation, [1:15:35] provides that a chairman with the concurrence of at least one member of the Committee [1:15:40] may punish or cite in contempt any witness before a Committee [1:15:45] who disobeys any order of the Committee [1:15:47] or refuses to be sworn or testify or for falsely or evasively testifying. [1:15:54] Further, as emphasized in this Senate Resolution 145, [1:16:01] the power of contempt is inherent to the enforcement of the right to conduct inquiries [1:16:06] in aid of legislation. [1:16:08] So, in fact, Senate Resolution 237, [1:16:13] such power of contempt was delegated to the subcommittees [1:16:17] as they comprise the same membership as the main Committee [1:16:20] and should have the Committee's full powers, [1:16:23] including the power to cite and punish witnesses in contempt. [1:16:27] All right. [1:16:28] Now, the other instance that we are allowed to the power of contempt [1:16:35] is during impeachment proceedings constituted as an impeachment court, [1:16:41] not as a Senate, [1:16:45] only in committee hearings in aid of legislation. [1:16:51] So, the only instance that contempt is mentioned in our rules [1:16:59] is the duty of the sergeant-at-arms to enforce a citation in contempt [1:17:03] issued by any committee of the Senate [1:17:06] and to detain and place under custody witnesses, etc., etc. [1:17:10] And the jurisprudence mentioned by Santo Lacson, [1:17:15] by the Supreme Court, [1:17:17] in Uy Ong versus the Senate of the Philippines, [1:17:19] the Supreme Court discussed that concomitant to the power of legislature [1:17:26] to conduct inquiries in aid of legislation [1:17:29] is its power of contempt impliedly provided under the 1987 Constitution. [1:17:37] So, that is my point, Mr. President. [1:17:38] So, I think we should not approve the motion to contempt right away [1:17:43] without consulting the Committee on Rules [1:17:45] just to find out whether we can only cite in contempt. [1:17:51] The Senate can cite in contempt when we are in aid of legislation [1:17:55] and we are in a committee. [1:17:57] So, maybe... [1:17:59] Before we have a ruling, [1:18:00] let me just expound on the decision yesterday. [1:18:07] The chair yesterday mentioned [1:18:10] that in several Supreme Court decisions, [1:18:14] as early as Arnold versus Nazareno, [1:18:17] the Supreme Court upheld the inherent right [1:18:20] to self-preservation of the legislative body. [1:18:25] And the chair explained that [1:18:27] if a committee is given a power to hold in contempt, [1:18:32] so much more the plenary. [1:18:35] And that there are two kinds of contempt. [1:18:38] The indirect contempt and the direct contempt. [1:18:40] So, for example, [1:18:42] if Maria and Pedro were now sitting in the gallery [1:18:50] and they started shouting, [1:18:54] if the sergeant's arms took them out, [1:18:57] but they came back and they started throwing stones, [1:19:02] we can hold them or they had guns, [1:19:04] we can send them for inquest [1:19:06] or we can hold them in contempt [1:19:10] because it's part of self-preservation. [1:19:14] So, even in the decision mentioned by Senator Laxon [1:19:19] has to deal with the issue at hand. [1:19:22] The ratio decidendi or the reason for the decision [1:19:25] always deals with only the issue at hand. [1:19:29] And the issue at hand then [1:19:30] was the contempt powers of legislation [1:19:33] in aid of legislation. [1:19:34] But despite that, [1:19:37] still the Supreme Court again said [1:19:40] indeed the exercise of contempt power [1:19:42] by the legislature [1:19:43] is anchored on self-preservation. [1:19:46] And they had a footnote from the previous cases. [1:19:51] Having said that, [1:19:52] I'd like to ask the pleasure of the minority there, [1:19:55] would you like to vote on it [1:19:56] or would you like us to send this to the legal [1:19:59] and then give them a day or two [1:20:01] or until Monday to... [1:20:04] Because the problem with... [1:20:04] I was thinking of that, Mr. President, [1:20:06] if you don't mind, [1:20:07] I'm sorry for interrupting. [1:20:08] Yes, go ahead, sir. [1:20:10] Because the Supreme Court itself [1:20:12] laid down the limitations. [1:20:15] That's why we have to discuss it [1:20:17] perhaps in the committee or the legal. [1:20:19] The first limitation, [1:20:21] the subject hearings were conducted [1:20:23] in aid of legislation, one. [1:20:25] Two, second limitation, [1:20:27] the assailed rules are compliant [1:20:29] with the publication requirement [1:20:31] of Section 21, Article 6 [1:20:33] of the 1987 Constitution. [1:20:36] And the third limitation is that [1:20:37] the committee failed to accord petitioners [1:20:40] their constitutional right [1:20:42] to due process [1:20:43] relative to the conduct of its proceedings. [1:20:46] Therefore, we were in plenary session yesterday [1:20:49] and then we were suspended [1:20:50] when this event was being discussed. [1:20:53] So, again, the pleasure, [1:20:55] really, Mr. President, [1:20:56] if you don't mind, [1:20:57] is that we refer the motions [1:20:59] to the committee and rules? [1:21:00] We are in agreement, [1:21:01] but just to explain, [1:21:03] one example I gave yesterday, [1:21:05] even if it wasn't in the rules of court [1:21:07] or even if there's no precedent, [1:21:11] if we were in the Supreme Court [1:21:12] and while they were in hearing, [1:21:16] I ran after or tried to arrest [1:21:18] or tried to mug one of the justices, [1:21:22] they can hold me in direct contempt [1:21:23] because it's really about self-preservation. [1:21:27] So the events yesterday was so grave [1:21:29] that, yes, we need cooler heads [1:21:31] because we really have to discuss [1:21:34] the problems of agriculture, [1:21:35] the problems of the economy, [1:21:37] problems of transportation. [1:21:40] Nagihirap talaga mga kababayan natin. [1:21:42] And of course, [1:21:43] we're all aware that the House [1:21:44] voted for impeachment yesterday, [1:21:46] so we're all preparing for that. [1:21:48] But at the same time, [1:21:49] we have to show the world, [1:21:52] including our local law enforcers, [1:21:54] that you cannot play around [1:21:58] with the Senate as an institution. [1:22:00] And when you're trying to prevent [1:22:01] a member from attending, [1:22:03] that is direct contempt of the Senate. [1:22:07] So I'm in agreement, [1:22:08] if we can all agree [1:22:10] that we send it first to the legal [1:22:15] and maybe we'll invite [1:22:17] any legal staff [1:22:19] of all the Senate offices [1:22:20] so that they can participate there [1:22:22] because it's an issue that [1:22:23] so that we won't take [1:22:26] one opinion, hook, line, and sinker, [1:22:28] but get all the brilliant minds [1:22:30] of the offices of the 24 senators, [1:22:34] then discuss it [1:22:35] and we'll hold the reconsideration [1:22:38] in abeyance until we have that, [1:22:40] if it's acceptable [1:22:42] to the former Senate president. [1:22:44] I concur. [1:22:45] So I so move, Mr. President. [1:22:47] Thank you very much. [1:22:48] So is there any objection [1:22:50] to the motion [1:22:51] that the ruling, [1:22:53] the motion and the ruling [1:22:55] to hold in contempt [1:22:56] will be now studied by, [1:22:57] referred and studied [1:22:58] by our legal department, [1:23:00] which will also invite lawyers [1:23:03] from each and every OS [1:23:05] or office of the senators [1:23:06] or 24 senators. [1:23:09] If there's none, then... [1:23:11] Mr. President, [1:23:13] on the second point, [1:23:14] the second motion, [1:23:16] made by Senator Mercoleta [1:23:18] of proposing that rule 14, [1:23:21] section 41B [1:23:22] of the Senate rules [1:23:24] be amended [1:23:24] by including a new section 41C. [1:23:29] Now, while I commend [1:23:31] the Senate president [1:23:32] for deferring action [1:23:33] on the motion on the motion [1:23:36] of the Honorable Mercoleta, [1:23:39] but still, [1:23:40] we should bear in mind [1:23:42] that if we amend our rules, [1:23:45] necessarily, [1:23:45] we should refer it [1:23:46] to the committee on rules. [1:23:47] We cannot just decide [1:23:49] in plenary [1:23:49] to write there and then [1:23:51] amend the rules. [1:23:53] If I am correct [1:23:54] in that regard, [1:23:55] Mr. President... [1:23:56] You're not only correct, [1:23:57] that's what happened. [1:23:58] I referred it to the committee on rules. [1:23:59] Yes, that's why I express [1:24:01] my admiration [1:24:01] and commendation [1:24:02] for the action taken [1:24:03] by the Senate president. [1:24:05] So, we're clear on that. [1:24:07] Yes. [1:24:07] My interpretation, [1:24:08] Senator Luxon, [1:24:09] is that was the intent [1:24:10] of Senator Mercoleta. [1:24:12] Because the rules [1:24:13] is that [1:24:14] one day [1:24:15] for consideration, [1:24:17] for a motion, [1:24:19] it's one day. [1:24:20] I'll just paraphrase. [1:24:21] So, my interpretation, [1:24:24] of course, [1:24:24] I didn't stand up [1:24:25] and go near [1:24:26] to Senator Mercoleta, [1:24:28] but my interpretation [1:24:28] was that [1:24:29] my understanding [1:24:33] is I always have [1:24:34] to follow the rules. [1:24:34] We always have to follow. [1:24:35] So, when a senator [1:24:36] makes a motion [1:24:38] and there is [1:24:39] a specific rule, [1:24:41] then we will follow. [1:24:42] But the committee on rules [1:24:43] is allowed [1:24:44] to meet right away, [1:24:45] but that doesn't mean [1:24:46] they can meet right away [1:24:47] and not follow [1:24:48] the one day rule. [1:24:51] Thank you for the clarification, [1:24:53] Mr. President. [1:24:53] And thank you for... [1:24:54] That would be all. [1:24:54] Yes. [1:24:55] And to be fair [1:24:55] to our former [1:24:56] Senate President, [1:24:57] Mig Subiri, [1:24:58] he also made it [1:24:59] very clear [1:25:00] that our tradition [1:25:01] is that [1:25:02] if it is [1:25:02] amendment of the rules, [1:25:05] we consult [1:25:07] and then [1:25:07] we not only [1:25:08] give a copy. [1:25:09] So, actually, [1:25:09] the Secretariat [1:25:10] rewrote [1:25:13] the proposal [1:25:15] and [1:25:15] maybe I could just say [1:25:18] that all of this [1:25:19] were a product [1:25:21] of what happened [1:25:23] yesterday. [1:25:24] And, of course, [1:25:26] most of us [1:25:28] had some sleep [1:25:28] last night. [1:25:30] I don't know [1:25:30] Senator Batoh [1:25:31] if he had [1:25:31] a good sleep. [1:25:32] He told me [1:25:33] he was not able [1:25:33] to sleep last night, [1:25:35] but Senator Padilla [1:25:37] who stayed with him [1:25:38] said you were sleeping [1:25:39] very well. [1:25:40] But maybe [1:25:41] cooler heads today [1:25:42] and hopefully [1:25:42] we'll get [1:25:43] a job done. [1:25:46] Majority Leader? [1:25:47] Yes, Mr. President. [1:25:48] Thank you, [1:25:48] Senator Laxon. [1:25:49] Thank you, [1:25:49] Mr. President. [1:25:50] and also [1:25:50] just to put [1:25:51] on record [1:25:51] this representation. [1:25:53] When this representation [1:25:55] filed that motion, [1:25:56] I was actually [1:25:57] asking the plenary [1:25:58] during that time [1:25:59] about the possibility [1:26:01] of looking [1:26:03] into that [1:26:03] particular incident. [1:26:05] But anyway, [1:26:06] Mr. President, [1:26:07] we just also [1:26:08] want to put [1:26:09] on record [1:26:09] that what we [1:26:10] are trying [1:26:11] to approve, [1:26:12] Mr. President, [1:26:13] the Journal [1:26:14] of the 61st Session [1:26:15] on Wednesday [1:26:16] was last May 6, [1:26:18] Mr. President. [1:26:19] Not yesterday. [1:26:20] So just to put [1:26:21] that on record, [1:26:22] it's May 6, [1:26:23] 2026 was last week [1:26:24] and that is [1:26:25] the motion [1:26:26] that we are [1:26:27] putting on the table. [1:26:29] So any objection [1:26:30] that we approve [1:26:31] the Journal [1:26:33] of the Session [1:26:34] of Wednesday, [1:26:35] May 6, [1:26:36] 2026. [1:26:37] If there's no [1:26:38] objection [1:26:39] or amendments, [1:26:40] the motion [1:26:40] is approved. [1:26:41] Thank you, [1:26:42] Mr. President. [1:26:42] And before we proceed, [1:26:44] may I just put [1:26:44] into the records, [1:26:45] Mr. President, [1:26:46] our gratitude [1:26:48] and thanks [1:26:49] for our guests [1:26:50] who are here [1:26:51] with us, [1:26:51] guests of Senator Padilla [1:26:52] de Bang Samoro Women [1:26:53] from Barangay Mahalica, [1:26:55] Taguig City. [1:26:56] Mr. President, [1:26:57] they are here. [1:26:57] Guests of Senator [1:26:58] Rondiveros, [1:26:59] LG officials [1:27:00] of Bulalacau, [1:27:01] Oriental Mindoro, [1:27:02] led by Mayor [1:27:03] Lumelito Kabagay. [1:27:05] We welcome them [1:27:06] to this August chamber. [1:27:08] You're recognized [1:27:09] and welcome. [1:27:10] Maybe Majority Leader [1:27:12] on behalf [1:27:13] also of the Senate, [1:27:14] I also apologize [1:27:15] to those who [1:27:16] had to stay longer [1:27:18] within the Senate [1:27:19] yesterday [1:27:19] while we were [1:27:20] identifying [1:27:21] the agents [1:27:24] who ran [1:27:25] after Senator [1:27:27] Bato. [1:27:27] I think even [1:27:28] former [1:27:29] CHED head, [1:27:31] Popoy de Vera, [1:27:32] and many others [1:27:33] were here. [1:27:34] And Senator Pia [1:27:35] also reminded me [1:27:37] that there are [1:27:39] hearings scheduled [1:27:40] and just to inform [1:27:41] the body, [1:27:42] the tradition is [1:27:43] even if the positions [1:27:45] are vacant, [1:27:45] you can continue [1:27:46] with the scheduled [1:27:47] hearings [1:27:48] because there are [1:27:48] the same members [1:27:50] and the chairman [1:27:51] is automatically [1:27:52] a member. [1:27:54] Senator Bam Aquino? [1:27:55] Mr. President, [1:27:56] I'd like to clarify. [1:27:57] There's a [1:27:59] BICAM scheduled [1:28:00] for Thursday [1:28:01] on the voucher bill [1:28:03] which has been [1:28:04] passed on third reading [1:28:05] here and in the House. [1:28:06] Shall we also continue [1:28:07] with the BICAM [1:28:08] for the voucher program, [1:28:10] Mr. President? [1:28:10] If there's no objection, [1:28:11] I think we should [1:28:12] all continue. [1:28:14] And in fact, [1:28:15] I'm hoping to have [1:28:16] a all-senator caucus [1:28:18] soon, [1:28:19] I just don't know [1:28:19] if today or tomorrow, [1:28:20] to discuss [1:28:21] the committees [1:28:23] and to even [1:28:24] consult the minority [1:28:25] even before we [1:28:26] offer certain committees. [1:28:28] But anything [1:28:28] that is pending [1:28:31] and should be, [1:28:32] I think the only [1:28:33] things that are [1:28:36] technically on hold [1:28:38] is new hearings [1:28:39] and the sponsorships [1:28:40] on the floor [1:28:41] pending designation [1:28:43] of chairmen. [1:28:44] Thank you. [1:28:44] Thank you for the [1:28:45] clarification, [1:28:46] Mr. Press. [1:28:48] Mr. President, [1:28:49] Senator Bam Aquino [1:28:50] is also seeking the floor. [1:28:51] Just a clarification [1:28:53] as regards [1:28:54] the hearings [1:28:59] of the committees [1:28:59] that can be conducted. [1:29:01] When we say [1:29:02] we will not be [1:29:03] conducting new hearings, [1:29:06] does this exclude [1:29:08] hearings that were suspended [1:29:11] and will just be [1:29:13] under our rules [1:29:15] allowed to resume [1:29:16] as the hearings [1:29:19] have yet to be terminated? [1:29:21] So the tradition [1:29:22] is if there's [1:29:23] a vacancy [1:29:24] in the chairmanship, [1:29:26] there's a vice chairman [1:29:27] that takes over. [1:29:28] But if the vacancy [1:29:29] is in all, [1:29:30] the... [1:29:32] Which is the case, [1:29:33] Mr. President, [1:29:33] because... [1:29:34] In all, [1:29:35] the chairman [1:29:36] can continue [1:29:37] the hearings [1:29:37] that are ongoing. [1:29:40] So my interpretation [1:29:41] is, [1:29:42] let's say you had [1:29:43] a hearing today, [1:29:43] you conducted it, [1:29:45] then you say [1:29:46] the next hearing [1:29:47] is Monday. [1:29:47] But we hope [1:29:48] to finish the committees [1:29:49] by Monday [1:29:50] in consultation [1:29:51] with everyone [1:29:52] so that [1:29:53] so that [1:29:53] so that [1:29:53] so with the [1:29:56] understanding, [1:29:56] Mr. President, [1:29:57] that this [1:29:58] suspension of our rules [1:30:00] by unanimous consent... [1:30:03] It's not a suspension, [1:30:04] it's a tradition [1:30:05] that is consistent [1:30:07] with the rules [1:30:08] because when you're [1:30:09] chairman, [1:30:10] you're automatically [1:30:11] still a member [1:30:12] of that. [1:30:13] Yes. [1:30:14] I'm telling you [1:30:15] what the secretary [1:30:16] informed me yesterday [1:30:17] because Senator Pia [1:30:18] called me and said [1:30:19] called my attention [1:30:21] and told me [1:30:22] na presyo ng kuryente [1:30:23] yung hearing niya. [1:30:25] So unless we... [1:30:27] Unless we [1:30:29] designate her [1:30:30] again as chairman [1:30:31] of energy. [1:30:32] So I consulted [1:30:33] the secretariat [1:30:34] and they mentioned [1:30:35] the tradition [1:30:36] that you don't have [1:30:37] to cancel the hearing. [1:30:39] Just a question, [1:30:40] Mr. President. [1:30:40] Yes, Mr. [1:30:41] Thank you. [1:30:42] Independent. [1:30:43] Thank you, Mr. President. [1:30:44] Independent leader. [1:30:45] There's two of you. [1:30:46] There's two of us. [1:30:47] There's two independent [1:30:48] leaders here. [1:30:49] But Mr. President, [1:30:49] just a quick question. [1:30:51] Yes, because it's a bit [1:30:52] confusing to our colleagues [1:30:53] when they asked about [1:30:55] their committee reports. [1:30:57] Some are already [1:30:58] supposed to be [1:30:59] handled on the floor, [1:31:01] the committee hearings [1:31:02] because I can recall [1:31:03] that the motion yesterday [1:31:04] was all positions vacant. [1:31:06] So if it's all positions [1:31:07] vacant, [1:31:08] that would also mean [1:31:08] the memberships. [1:31:09] Yes. [1:31:10] Mr. President. [1:31:11] Because we... [1:31:12] That's correct. [1:31:13] Yeah, so I'm just [1:31:13] asking for clarification [1:31:15] so that we can be [1:31:16] guided accordingly [1:31:17] if we do, [1:31:18] then we have to [1:31:18] reorganize really quickly. [1:31:20] That's why, [1:31:21] Mr. President, [1:31:21] if I may suggest, [1:31:24] by unanimous consent, [1:31:25] we can suspend [1:31:26] our rules. [1:31:27] And I would like to think [1:31:28] that would be [1:31:28] the better route [1:31:29] in terms of allowing [1:31:32] hearings to be conducted [1:31:34] by former committee [1:31:36] chairpersons [1:31:37] and former members [1:31:41] until Monday, [1:31:42] as you... [1:31:43] as the Senate President [1:31:45] earlier mentioned, [1:31:46] that you would have [1:31:47] disposed of the issue [1:31:49] by Monday. [1:31:49] Yes. [1:31:50] I am overwhelmed [1:31:51] by the number [1:31:52] of brilliant minds [1:31:53] and former Senate [1:31:54] presidents. [1:31:55] So with your permission [1:31:56] to answer the question, [1:31:57] former Senate President [1:31:59] Escudero will... [1:32:00] Yes, Mr. President. [1:32:02] To lend some clarity [1:32:03] to the issue at hand, [1:32:04] I would like to read [1:32:05] and spread onto the record [1:32:07] section 19 [1:32:08] of our own rules. [1:32:10] The chairman [1:32:10] and the members [1:32:11] of the permanent committee [1:32:12] shall commence [1:32:13] in the exercise [1:32:14] of their duties [1:32:16] upon their election. [1:32:18] They shall cease [1:32:19] when their successors [1:32:20] shall have been elected [1:32:21] or designated. [1:32:23] So my understanding, [1:32:24] given the plain meaning [1:32:25] of this rule, [1:32:26] is that the chairman, [1:32:28] although their positions [1:32:30] were respectively [1:32:31] declared vacant [1:32:31] to avoid, [1:32:32] shall continue [1:32:34] until their successors [1:32:35] shall have been designated [1:32:36] and or elected. [1:32:38] My understanding further [1:32:39] is that should there be [1:32:40] any bicam that needs [1:32:43] to be done [1:32:43] or finished [1:32:44] within this week [1:32:45] until their successors [1:32:46] shall have been elected, [1:32:48] then it should proceed [1:32:48] so as not to cause [1:32:49] any unjew delay [1:32:52] without need [1:32:52] of suspending the rules, [1:32:53] Mr. President. [1:32:54] I submit, Mr. President. [1:32:56] Again, Mr. President, [1:32:58] it's a... [1:32:59] You know, [1:33:00] it's a... [1:33:02] The point... [1:33:02] Well, what we... [1:33:05] The motion yesterday [1:33:07] was to declare [1:33:08] the positions vacant. [1:33:09] So there is no chair, [1:33:11] there is no vice chair, [1:33:12] there are no members. [1:33:13] So how can a committee [1:33:15] convene [1:33:17] or continue [1:33:17] with its proceedings [1:33:19] when there are no... [1:33:21] There is no chairman, [1:33:22] there are no members. [1:33:24] Members and chairpersons [1:33:25] and vice chairpersons [1:33:27] are elected. [1:33:28] As a matter of courtesy [1:33:29] and tradition. [1:33:30] And that's why... [1:33:31] Instead of just [1:33:32] saying the name [1:33:34] and then [1:33:34] replacing the chairman, [1:33:41] which happens [1:33:43] in certain instances [1:33:44] with the permission [1:33:45] of the two individuals, [1:33:46] when there is [1:33:49] a leadership change, [1:33:50] usually there's [1:33:50] a question [1:33:52] of the chairmanship. [1:33:53] So there is sometimes [1:33:54] a motion [1:33:56] to declare [1:33:57] all positions vacant. [1:33:58] but that is [1:33:59] the brilliance [1:33:59] of the rules. [1:34:00] The rules [1:34:00] is very clear. [1:34:02] The chairman [1:34:02] and the members [1:34:03] of the permanent committee [1:34:04] shall commence [1:34:04] in the exercise [1:34:05] of their election [1:34:06] of their duties [1:34:06] and they shall cease [1:34:08] when their successor [1:34:09] have been elected [1:34:09] or designated. [1:34:11] So out of prudence, [1:34:13] usually in controversial [1:34:14] hearings [1:34:15] and in new bills, [1:34:18] et cetera. [1:34:18] So for example, [1:34:19] if the divorce bill [1:34:20] is very controversial [1:34:23] and let's say [1:34:25] Senator Villanueva [1:34:26] was hearing it [1:34:27] and then he was replaced, [1:34:29] usually he will not [1:34:30] call another hearing [1:34:31] out of prudence [1:34:32] and respect [1:34:33] for the body. [1:34:34] But let's say [1:34:35] he was hearing [1:34:37] something about nutrition [1:34:38] that everyone accepts, [1:34:41] he would probably [1:34:42] continue his hearing. [1:34:43] But actually, [1:34:44] this will all soon [1:34:45] be mutin academic [1:34:46] because probably [1:34:47] by tomorrow [1:34:48] and Monday [1:34:48] we will start [1:34:49] and finish [1:34:50] reading all [1:34:51] of the chairmanships [1:34:51] and you usually [1:34:53] have to have [1:34:55] three-day notice. [1:34:57] So even if you want [1:34:58] to have a hearing [1:34:59] Monday or Tuesday, [1:35:00] you have to have [1:35:01] the notice tomorrow. [1:35:03] So by Monday, [1:35:04] we'll have all [1:35:04] of this settled. [1:35:05] I just mentioned it [1:35:06] because Senator Pia [1:35:08] reminded me [1:35:09] about her hearing [1:35:10] and then I read [1:35:12] some comments [1:35:13] about some important [1:35:15] matters [1:35:15] and the cancellation. [1:35:18] So it was really [1:35:19] meant to address [1:35:20] the present situation [1:35:21] maybe today, [1:35:21] tomorrow, [1:35:22] and Friday [1:35:23] if everyone has [1:35:24] the pleasure [1:35:25] of hearing on Friday, [1:35:26] which includes [1:35:27] Senator Bam, [1:35:28] napaka-importante [1:35:29] matapos natin [1:35:30] yung voucher program. [1:35:33] Well, Mr. President, [1:35:34] if I may suggest [1:35:35] so that we can [1:35:36] dispense with this, [1:35:37] let's just suspend [1:35:38] the rules [1:35:39] with unanimous consent [1:35:40] understanding [1:35:42] that this is [1:35:42] to be a suspension [1:35:44] until Monday [1:35:45] when the matter [1:35:45] has been resolved [1:35:46] by the election [1:35:47] of new chairperson. [1:35:48] The problem [1:35:48] is if you suspend [1:35:49] the rule, [1:35:50] you'll suspend [1:35:50] Section 19, [1:35:52] then it will be worse [1:35:53] because there'll be no... [1:35:54] Well, Mr. President, [1:35:57] the trouble also [1:35:58] with Section 19 [1:35:59] is that it assumes [1:36:00] there is a chairperson [1:36:01] and a vice chairperson [1:36:03] and members. [1:36:04] We already declared [1:36:05] all positions vacant. [1:36:07] Yes, and it is vacant, [1:36:31] but they can continue [1:36:33] until their successors [1:36:35] have been elected. [1:36:37] It is taught [1:36:38] in law school [1:36:39] that when there are rules, [1:36:41] you have to interpret it [1:36:42] in a logical way [1:36:43] that makes it work. [1:36:45] So there will be no reason [1:36:49] for this rule [1:36:50] if, in fact, [1:36:52] we did not remove chairman [1:36:53] because then the rule [1:36:54] would simply be [1:36:55] the vice chairman [1:36:56] would take over, [1:36:57] the senior member, [1:36:58] et cetera. [1:36:59] So actually, [1:37:00] this rule takes care [1:37:01] of any situation, [1:37:02] including, for example, [1:37:03] if three senators [1:37:05] have resigned [1:37:06] and have joined [1:37:07] the executive department [1:37:09] and then every member [1:37:11] from that committee resign, [1:37:13] then they will continue [1:37:14] to be vice chairman [1:37:15] and committee members. [1:37:17] If it's your pleasure, [1:37:18] Senator, [1:37:19] and I sort of see your point, [1:37:20] but I see the logic [1:37:22] of Senator, [1:37:22] we can refer to [1:37:23] the Committee on Rules. [1:37:25] Yes, I think [1:37:26] that would be better, [1:37:27] Mr. President, [1:37:29] so that we can get [1:37:30] a clear definition [1:37:34] or a clear ruling [1:37:38] or a recommended ruling [1:37:40] from the Committee [1:37:41] on Rules [1:37:41] and legal interpretation [1:37:43] of this particular... [1:37:44] Thank you, Mr. President. [1:37:47] And at least we'll clear it up [1:37:48] so that those [1:37:49] who have important hearings [1:37:50] will not need to cancel it. [1:37:52] Well, just on that point, [1:37:55] Mr. President, [1:37:55] the reason why [1:37:56] I'm raising this [1:37:57] is because we do have [1:37:58] committee reports [1:37:59] that we are ready [1:38:00] to submit, [1:38:01] and so we would like [1:38:04] to be clear as to [1:38:05] can we still submit [1:38:07] these committee reports [1:38:08] today, tomorrow? [1:38:12] Can we still sponsor [1:38:13] committee reports [1:38:15] that have been submitted [1:38:16] tomorrow [1:38:17] or maybe even Monday? [1:38:20] Because we do have [1:38:22] committee reports [1:38:23] that we can sponsor. [1:38:27] Preliminarily, [1:38:29] if you follow the rules, [1:38:31] Section 19, you can. [1:38:33] But prudence, [1:38:34] usually on controversial bills, [1:38:37] they do not [1:38:37] because the ratio [1:38:38] between minority [1:38:39] and majority [1:38:40] also changes. [1:38:42] And sometimes [1:38:44] the alignments [1:38:46] are ideological, [1:38:47] sometimes the alignments [1:38:48] are political, [1:38:49] sometimes the bills [1:38:50] are the same. [1:38:51] So it really depends. [1:38:52] But again, [1:38:55] the new majority [1:38:57] will endeavor [1:38:57] to finish the reorganization [1:38:59] on the latest Monday. [1:39:01] Okay. [1:39:02] Thank you, Mr. President. [1:39:03] Just for the record. [1:39:04] The comments [1:39:04] are on the record [1:39:05] and referred to [1:39:07] the Committee on Rules. [1:39:08] Yes, Mr. President. [1:39:09] And just for the record, [1:39:10] we were supposed [1:39:11] to sponsor two measures [1:39:12] under the chairman [1:39:15] of the Committee on Justice [1:39:16] on the citizenships [1:39:18] of two principal sponsors, [1:39:20] Senator Bongo [1:39:22] and Senator Pia Cayetano. [1:39:24] Are they here today? [1:39:26] They were here yesterday, [1:39:27] but I want to know [1:39:28] if we can schedule it [1:39:29] tomorrow. [1:39:30] Majority Leader, [1:39:31] may I request [1:39:32] that you discuss [1:39:34] with Senator Pangilinan [1:39:35] and the two sponsors? [1:39:36] Maybe we can [1:39:37] accommodate tomorrow. [1:39:38] Because there is a timeline [1:39:40] as to the... [1:39:43] Okay. [1:39:44] Thank you, Mr. President. [1:39:45] Thank you. [1:39:46] We will be ready tomorrow. [1:39:47] Thank you. [1:39:48] We'll do that, [1:39:50] Mr. President. [1:39:51] And I hope [1:39:51] the real majority leader [1:39:55] will be elected soon, [1:39:56] Mr. President. [1:39:57] Mr. President, [1:39:58] at this juncture [1:39:59] and just to... [1:40:00] You mean the permanent [1:40:01] majority leader? [1:40:05] Colleagues, [1:40:05] the opportunity [1:40:06] to vote on third reading, [1:40:08] Mr. President.

[1:45:06] In what capacity [1:45:07] is Senator Pangilinan [1:45:09] sponsoring [1:45:10] a committee report tomorrow? [1:45:12] I have a suggestion [1:45:13] along that line. [1:45:14] Maybe we can... [1:45:15] The body [1:45:16] can designate him as... [1:45:19] No, [1:45:19] in holdover capacity. [1:45:21] So he can be, [1:45:23] you know, [1:45:23] officially capacitated. [1:45:25] Good suggestion [1:45:26] just to align [1:45:27] in pursuant [1:45:28] with Section 19.

[1:45:37] Senator Irwin Tulfo? [1:45:40] Thank you, [1:45:40] Mr. President. [1:45:41] A quick manifestation. [1:45:43] Mr. President, [1:45:44] distinguished colleagues, [1:45:45] as your outgoing chairperson [1:45:47] of the Senate Committee [1:45:48] on Social Justice, [1:45:50] Welfare, [1:45:50] and Rural Development, [1:45:51] I wish to place [1:45:52] on record [1:45:53] my profound gratitude [1:45:54] and deep appreciation [1:45:56] as this August chamber [1:45:57] approves [1:45:57] in third reading [1:45:58] Senate Bill No. 1966 [1:46:00] under Committee Report No. 46 [1:46:03] entitled [1:46:03] The Assistance to Individuals [1:46:04] in Crisis Situation [1:46:06] or Ix Act. [1:46:08] This legislation [1:46:09] goes beyond [1:46:10] merely institutionalizing [1:46:11] assistance. [1:46:13] It institutionalizes [1:46:14] the spirit of [1:46:15] malasakit in public service. [1:46:17] More importantly, [1:46:18] it affirms our collective duty [1:46:20] as a public servant [1:46:21] to ensure that [1:46:23] in times of hardship [1:46:24] and uncertainty, [1:46:25] government responds [1:46:26] not with indifference [1:46:27] but with urgency, [1:46:29] compassion, [1:46:30] and decisive action [1:46:31] for the welfare [1:46:32] of every Filipino. [1:46:35] Sa gitna po ng hirap [1:46:36] at pangangailangan [1:46:36] hindiap at pinapabayaan [1:46:38] ang ating mga kapabayan. [1:46:39] Ang tulong ng pamahalaan [1:46:40] ay dapat mabilis, [1:46:42] maayos, [1:46:42] at may malasakit. [1:46:44] Mr. President, [1:46:44] allow me to extend [1:46:45] my sincerest gratitude [1:46:46] to all the authors [1:46:47] who stood behind [1:46:48] this measure. [1:46:49] Senator Amy Marquez, [1:46:51] Senator Christopher Bongo, [1:46:53] Senator Jingo Estrada, [1:46:55] to Senator Joel Villanueva [1:46:56] who conveyed his intention [1:46:57] to be made co-author [1:46:58] of this significant bill. [1:47:00] Thank you, [1:47:01] Madam and Sirs. [1:47:02] Your support reflects [1:47:04] our shared belief [1:47:04] that public service [1:47:05] must always put people first. [1:47:08] Maraming salamat po [1:47:09] sa inyong dedikasyon [1:47:10] at tunay na malasakit [1:47:11] sa sambayan ng Pilipino. [1:47:14] The significance [1:47:15] of the IX program [1:47:16] becomes even more evident [1:47:17] during periods [1:47:18] of national [1:47:19] and global uncertainty. [1:47:21] When ordinary Filipinos [1:47:22] are most vulnerable [1:47:23] to the effects [1:47:23] of economic disruption, [1:47:25] sa panahon po [1:47:26] ng krisis, [1:47:27] higit na naramdaman [1:47:29] ng ating mga kababayan [1:47:30] ang pangangailangan [1:47:31] na agarang tulong [1:47:31] at tunay na malasakit [1:47:33] mula po [1:47:34] sa ating pamahalaan. [1:47:35] Amid the recent tensions [1:47:37] involving Iran [1:47:37] and resulting volatility [1:47:39] in global oil prices, [1:47:41] assistance mechanism [1:47:42] under IX program [1:47:43] became an important [1:47:44] source of relief [1:47:45] for many Filipinos, [1:47:47] particularly in transport [1:47:48] drivers and operators [1:47:49] who bore the heavy burden [1:47:50] of rising fuel costs. [1:47:53] Sa patuloy na pagtaas [1:47:54] ng presyo ng langis, [1:47:55] maraming super at operator [1:47:57] ang mahirapang maitawid po [1:47:59] ginong Pangulo [1:47:59] ang araw-araw [1:48:00] na pangangailangan [1:48:01] ng kanilang pamilya. [1:48:03] Through timely emergency assistance [1:48:05] and fuel subsidy interventions, [1:48:07] our government [1:48:08] was able to provide [1:48:08] much-needed relief [1:48:09] and help lighten [1:48:11] the daily burden [1:48:11] of those who, [1:48:12] despite rising costs [1:48:14] and personal sacrifices, [1:48:15] continue to keep [1:48:17] our communities connected, [1:48:18] our economy moving forward. [1:48:21] Sa pagagitan po [1:48:22] ng agarang tulong [1:48:23] mula sa AICS, [1:48:24] na ipapakita po natin [1:48:25] na ang pamahalaan [1:48:26] may malasakit [1:48:27] ay hindi po [1:48:28] nagpamabaya, [1:48:29] lalo na sa mga [1:48:30] manggagawang patuloy [1:48:31] ng nagsasakripisyo [1:48:32] para sa mga bayanema. [1:48:34] To the committees, [1:48:36] technical working groups, [1:48:37] partner agencies [1:48:38] and hardworking personnel [1:48:39] behind this legislation, [1:48:42] we thank you [1:48:43] for transforming [1:48:44] compassion [1:48:45] into concrete action. [1:48:48] To my distinguished colleagues, [1:48:49] may we continue [1:48:49] to craft laws [1:48:50] that are not only [1:48:51] responsive, [1:48:52] but humane [1:48:53] law that recognizes [1:48:55] that governance [1:48:55] is not merely [1:48:56] about programs [1:48:57] and budgets, [1:48:58] but about people, [1:49:00] dignity, and hope. [1:49:00] Ang pagpasa po [1:49:02] ng AICS Act [1:49:03] ay isang matibay [1:49:04] na patunay [1:49:04] na ang pamahalaan [1:49:05] may malasakit [1:49:06] ay pamahalaang tunay [1:49:09] na kumakalinga, [1:49:10] handa lagi [1:49:10] umalalay, [1:49:11] umunawa, [1:49:12] at tumugod [1:49:12] sa pangangailangan [1:49:13] ng bawat Pilipino [1:49:13] sa oras po [1:49:15] ng kagipitan. [1:49:16] Again, [1:49:16] Mr. President, [1:49:17] to all the authors [1:49:18] and supporters [1:49:19] of the AICS Act, [1:49:20] thank you [1:49:21] for your unity, [1:49:23] compassion, [1:49:24] and wavering commitment [1:49:24] to the Filipino people. [1:49:26] We stand united [1:49:28] no matter what [1:49:29] political colors [1:49:30] we have. [1:49:31] There is no crisis [1:49:32] too great [1:49:33] that we cannot overcome. [1:49:35] Muli po, [1:49:35] maraming salamat [1:49:36] sa aking mga pasamahan, [1:49:38] both in the majority [1:49:39] and minority [1:49:39] at sa sambayan [1:49:41] ng Pilipino. [1:49:41] Thank you [1:49:42] and good afternoon. [1:49:43] The chair recognizes [1:49:45] the work [1:49:46] of the good senator [1:49:47] in social justice [1:49:48] and social welfare. [1:49:50] Very well taken [1:49:51] ang manifestation [1:49:53] except the part [1:49:55] that he said [1:49:56] he will be leaving [1:49:57] the committee. [1:49:58] We're not yet that sure [1:49:59] as we recognize [1:50:01] your work [1:50:01] in that committee. [1:50:02] Thank you [1:50:02] for your manifestation. [1:50:04] Senator. [1:50:05] Mr. President, [1:50:06] next to explain [1:50:09] her vote, [1:50:11] especially on [1:50:11] Senate Bill number [1:50:13] 1894 [1:50:13] is the distinguished lady [1:50:15] from Antique, [1:50:16] the chairperson [1:50:17] of the Senate Committee [1:50:18] on Higher and Technical Education, [1:50:19] Senator Lauren Legarde. [1:50:20] I hope that she be recognized [1:50:21] as president. [1:50:23] Mr. President, [1:50:24] esteemed colleagues, [1:50:26] I would like to thank [1:50:27] all our colleagues [1:50:27] in the unanimous vote [1:50:31] on the free tertiary [1:50:32] education amendments [1:50:34] and we know [1:50:35] that this measure [1:50:36] strengthens [1:50:37] RA 10931 [1:50:38] and ensures [1:50:40] the promise [1:50:41] of free [1:50:41] and equitable [1:50:42] tertiary education [1:50:44] that it truly reaches [1:50:46] the poorest Filipino families. [1:50:48] EDCOM 2 [1:50:49] revealed [1:50:50] stark gaps [1:50:51] in the implementation [1:50:52] of student assistance programs. [1:50:55] Many of our [1:50:55] most vulnerable learners [1:50:57] continue to struggle [1:50:58] with the rising cost [1:51:00] of transportation, [1:51:01] food, [1:51:02] housing [1:51:03] and school requirements [1:51:04] despite existing [1:51:05] support mechanisms. [1:51:07] This bill ensures [1:51:08] that limited [1:51:09] government resources [1:51:11] are directed first [1:51:12] to those who need [1:51:13] the most, [1:51:14] aligns allocation [1:51:16] strictly with household [1:51:17] income, [1:51:18] guarantees timely [1:51:19] inflation-adjusted [1:51:21] support [1:51:21] and demands [1:51:23] accountability [1:51:23] for the use [1:51:24] of public funds. [1:51:26] Ang edukasyon [1:51:27] ay hindi lang [1:51:27] dapat libre, [1:51:29] dapat ito'y makabuluhan [1:51:30] at nagubungan [1:51:31] ng tunay na oportunidad [1:51:33] mula enrollment [1:51:34] hanggang [1:51:35] graduation at trabaho. [1:51:38] This measure [1:51:38] is for our students, [1:51:39] especially the poorest, [1:51:41] who now know [1:51:42] that the government [1:51:42] stands behind their dreams. [1:51:44] Dapat laging patas [1:51:46] ang pagbibigay [1:51:46] ng pagkakataon [1:51:47] sa bawat batang [1:51:49] Pilipino [1:51:49] na nangangarap. [1:51:51] I would like to thank [1:51:52] my fellow [1:51:53] EDCOM 2 commissioners, [1:51:55] Senator Bam Aquino, [1:51:57] Senator Joel Villanueva, [1:51:59] Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, [1:52:01] Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, [1:52:03] now Senate President, [1:52:04] as well as [1:52:04] Senator Pia Cayetano, [1:52:07] Senator Christopher [1:52:08] Lonens-Goh, [1:52:09] Senator Francis Escudero, [1:52:12] Senator Jingoy Ejercito Estrada, [1:52:14] Senator Risa Ontiveros, [1:52:16] Senator JV Ejercito, [1:52:18] Senator Rafi Tulfo, [1:52:19] Senator Robin Padilla, [1:52:21] and Senator Kiko Pangilinan [1:52:23] for your steadfast support. [1:52:25] I express my deep gratitude [1:52:27] to all who join [1:52:28] in advancing this measure. [1:52:30] And just to take note [1:52:31] that the House of Representatives [1:52:33] had already passed [1:52:34] this measure [1:52:35] on third reading. [1:52:36] Thank you, Mr. President. [1:52:38] Thank you, Mr. President. [1:52:39] Before I ask [1:52:41] for this representation's recognition, [1:52:42] Mr. President, [1:52:43] our dear colleague, [1:52:44] Senator Risa Ontiveros, [1:52:45] is seeking the floor. [1:52:47] May I move that [1:52:47] she be recognized [1:52:48] Mr. President? [1:52:49] Senator Antiveros is recognized [1:52:50] and we thank Senator [1:52:52] Lagarda for her explanation [1:52:54] of the vote. [1:52:55] Salamat po, Mr. President. [1:52:57] Inquiry, Mr. President, [1:52:58] in line dun sa [1:52:59] action ng body natin [1:53:02] regarding Senator Pangilinan [1:53:03] on the suggestion [1:53:05] of Senator Laxon [1:53:06] to inquiries, [1:53:09] Mr. President. [1:53:11] For clarity, [1:53:12] Mr. President, [1:53:13] this representation [1:53:14] is the former chair [1:53:16] of the Senate [1:53:17] Committee on Women [1:53:19] and also former chair [1:53:21] of the Senate [1:53:21] Committee on Health. [1:53:23] Kanina po kasi, [1:53:24] ang conversation nga [1:53:25] itong kol sa [1:53:26] committee hearings [1:53:27] for bills that are ready [1:53:29] for amendments [1:53:29] on the floor. [1:53:31] Halimbawa, [1:53:32] itong apat, [1:53:32] Mr. President. [1:53:33] So, [1:53:33] ang unang inquiry ko po, [1:53:35] would I still be allowed [1:53:36] to introduce [1:53:37] the amendments [1:53:38] as former chair [1:53:39] in relation po [1:53:41] to the action [1:53:41] of the body [1:53:42] on holdover capacity [1:53:44] of Senator Pangilinan [1:53:45] in his former committee, [1:53:47] Mr. President. [1:53:48] So, [1:53:48] as to introducing [1:53:49] individual amendments [1:53:51] as a senator, [1:53:52] of course, [1:53:53] that's always your right. [1:53:54] But as to sponsoring, [1:53:56] the majority leader [1:53:56] and myself [1:53:57] will be discussing [1:53:59] all depending [1:54:00] bills on the floor [1:54:02] when we go in caucus [1:54:03] right after this [1:54:04] and we hope to ask [1:54:06] for a all-member caucus [1:54:08] by tomorrow [1:54:09] to discuss that [1:54:11] but also to discuss [1:54:12] the articles [1:54:13] of impeachment. [1:54:14] Salamat, [1:54:15] Mr. President. [1:54:16] And this representation [1:54:17] anticipates the response [1:54:20] of the Senate President [1:54:21] and the majority leader. [1:54:23] Just to add one detail [1:54:24] on the anti-hospital [1:54:25] detention bill, [1:54:29] ang particular status po niyan, [1:54:31] Mr. President, [1:54:32] is babasahin na lang [1:54:33] yung amendments [1:54:34] and then [1:54:35] pending the decision [1:54:37] of the body, [1:54:37] pwede na pong [1:54:38] i-close on [1:54:39] second reading. [1:54:40] Second and last inquiry [1:54:41] for now, [1:54:42] Mr. President, [1:54:43] regarding the bills [1:54:44] that are for interpellation [1:54:46] because lastly, [1:54:47] this representation [1:54:48] is also former chair [1:54:49] of the Senate Committee [1:54:50] on electoral reforms. [1:54:54] Bills, [1:54:55] Mr. President, [1:54:56] like the party list reform, [1:54:58] the anti-political dynasty bill, [1:55:00] and then also [1:55:00] within the Committee on Health, [1:55:02] the UHC Medical Assistance Program, [1:55:04] and the Health Care Proxy Act. [1:55:09] So again, [1:55:09] Mr. President, [1:55:10] should this representation [1:55:11] continue to sponsor [1:55:12] and defend them [1:55:13] on the floor, [1:55:14] or is it correct [1:55:15] that the leadership change [1:55:16] has prevented this, [1:55:18] Mr. President? [1:55:19] Same answer, [1:55:20] and to be completely honest, [1:55:22] because Senator Villanueva [1:55:24] has not accepted [1:55:25] the position [1:55:26] of a majority floor leader, [1:55:28] so I cannot assign him [1:55:30] to go to [1:55:30] the former chairpersons [1:55:33] to get their pleasure, [1:55:35] yet, [1:55:36] because he has only agreed [1:55:37] to be acting floor leader, [1:55:39] but after our caucus [1:55:41] this afternoon, [1:55:41] tomorrow, [1:55:42] we should have [1:55:42] a regular, [1:55:45] not real, [1:55:47] a permanent majority leader, [1:55:52] at least until [1:55:53] the body [1:55:54] would like to pick [1:55:57] someone else. [1:55:58] Marami salamat, [1:55:59] Mr. President, [1:56:00] and I know that... [1:56:02] The chair would like to thank you [1:56:03] for your work [1:56:03] on the Committee on Health. [1:56:04] Thank you, Mr. President, [1:56:05] and this representation [1:56:07] knows that [1:56:07] the Senate President [1:56:08] is also keenly aware [1:56:10] kung ganong katagal [1:56:11] at katinding [1:56:12] iniintay [1:56:13] itong mga bills [1:56:14] ng mga iba't-ibang [1:56:15] stakeholders at partners [1:56:16] ng Senado, [1:56:17] including mga [1:56:18] children's rights advocates, [1:56:20] syempre, [1:56:20] yung mga lahat ng [1:56:21] pasyenteng Pilipino [1:56:22] at mga pamilya po nila, [1:56:24] yung ating mga [1:56:24] barangay health workers, [1:56:26] yung mga [1:56:26] political reform [1:56:28] advocates, [1:56:30] among others, [1:56:32] Mr. President. [1:56:33] Salamat po, [1:56:33] Mr. President. [1:56:34] Just for the [1:56:35] answer regarding [1:56:36] your query [1:56:38] as far as the [1:56:39] rules are concerned, [1:56:40] because the [1:56:41] author of the bill [1:56:43] can also sponsor, [1:56:44] a member of the [1:56:45] committee can also [1:56:46] sponsor, [1:56:47] and the former chair [1:56:48] is a member of the [1:56:49] committee. [1:56:49] So technically, [1:56:50] you can. [1:56:51] So it's just a matter [1:56:52] of the majority [1:56:53] leader and the new [1:56:55] majority would like [1:56:56] that on the floor [1:56:57] at the moment. [1:56:58] And again, [1:56:59] I thank you, [1:57:00] I thank Senator Pia, [1:57:01] Senator Loren, [1:57:03] Senator Bonggo, [1:57:04] on your work on the [1:57:05] committee on health. [1:57:08] I was informed [1:57:08] recently, [1:57:10] hindi na naman [1:57:10] nabid or hindi pa [1:57:12] nabibid, [1:57:12] that's two weeks [1:57:13] ago, [1:57:14] yung flu vaccines. [1:57:16] And meron dalawang [1:57:17] hemisphere yan, [1:57:18] southern and [1:57:18] northern. [1:57:19] Yung sa atin, [1:57:21] patapos na [1:57:22] or tapos na [1:57:23] by now, [1:57:23] patapos na ata, [1:57:25] hindi pa rin nabid. [1:57:26] So we need the [1:57:27] department of health [1:57:28] to shape up. [1:57:29] And your work [1:57:31] during your term [1:57:32] as chairman [1:57:33] of the committee [1:57:33] on health [1:57:34] is appreciated. [1:57:36] Thank you. [1:57:38] Mr. President, [1:57:39] Senator Mark [1:57:40] Villar is also [1:57:40] seeking the floor [1:57:41] to explain his vote. [1:57:42] I move that he [1:57:43] be recognized, [1:57:43] Mr. President. [1:57:44] Senator Mark [1:57:44] Villar is recognized. [1:57:46] Mr. President, [1:57:47] allow me to explain [1:57:48] my yes vote [1:57:49] and my unyielding [1:57:50] support for [1:57:51] Senate Bill [1:57:51] No. 1894 [1:57:52] or the Act [1:57:53] Enhancing the [1:57:54] Universal Access [1:57:55] to Quality [1:57:55] Tertiary Education [1:57:57] Act. [1:57:58] Mr. President, [1:57:59] Republic Act [1:57:59] No. 10931 [1:58:00] or the Universal [1:58:01] Access to [1:58:02] Quality [1:58:04] Education Act [1:58:05] was enacted [1:58:05] to provide [1:58:06] adequate funding [1:58:08] and similar [1:58:09] mechanisms [1:58:09] to increase [1:58:10] the participation [1:58:11] rate among [1:58:12] all socioeconomic [1:58:13] classes in [1:58:14] tertiary education. [1:58:16] While the law [1:58:16] provides for free [1:58:17] tuition, [1:58:18] it does not [1:58:19] cover the [1:58:19] incidental expenses [1:58:20] of studying [1:58:21] and going to [1:58:22] school in [1:58:23] college. [1:58:24] Mr. President, [1:58:25] maraming kabataang [1:58:26] Pilipino ang gusto [1:58:27] makapagtapos [1:58:28] ng kolehyo. [1:58:29] Ngunit, [1:58:29] walang sapat [1:58:30] na pinansyal [1:58:31] nakakayahan [1:58:31] upang tustusan [1:58:33] ang pang-araw-araw [1:58:34] na gastusin [1:58:35] sa eskwelahan. [1:58:37] Bagaman libre [1:58:37] ang tuition fee, [1:58:39] mahirap para sa [1:58:40] ilan nating [1:58:40] mga kababayan [1:58:41] ang tiyakin [1:58:42] na mayroon silang [1:58:43] gagastusin [1:58:44] sa pamasahe [1:58:44] at pagkain [1:58:46] pagpasok [1:58:46] sa eskwelahan. [1:58:48] Kung kaya, [1:58:48] Mr. President, [1:58:49] napipilitan ng marami [1:58:50] na tumigil [1:58:51] sa pag-aaral [1:58:52] para magtrabaho [1:58:54] upang tustusan [1:58:55] ang pang-araw-araw [1:58:56] na gastusin [1:58:57] ng sarili [1:58:57] at ng kanilang [1:58:58] pamilya. [1:58:59] Sa pag-aproba [1:59:00] natin [1:59:01] ng panukalang ito, [1:59:02] wala nang estudyante [1:59:03] ang mapipilitang [1:59:04] magtrabaho [1:59:05] upang tustusan [1:59:06] ang kanilang [1:59:07] pag-aaral. [1:59:08] Posible na [1:59:09] makapag-focus na sila [1:59:10] sa kanilang [1:59:11] pag-aaral [1:59:11] at hindi [1:59:12] naisipin [1:59:13] kung saan [1:59:14] kukunin [1:59:14] ang pang-gastos. [1:59:16] Mr. President, [1:59:17] this bill [1:59:17] will narrow [1:59:18] the gap [1:59:18] between the [1:59:19] objectives [1:59:20] of the [1:59:20] free tertiary [1:59:21] education law [1:59:22] and the [1:59:23] glaring realities [1:59:24] on the ground [1:59:24] faced by the [1:59:25] underprivileged [1:59:26] and marginalized. [1:59:28] Again, [1:59:28] I would like to [1:59:29] thank the [1:59:29] distinguished lady [1:59:30] from Antique, [1:59:32] Senator Loren [1:59:32] Ligarda, [1:59:33] for shepherding [1:59:34] this bill, [1:59:35] and of course, [1:59:36] Senator Bam [1:59:37] Aquino, [1:59:38] for initially [1:59:39] championing [1:59:40] this measure [1:59:41] in these very [1:59:41] halls. [1:59:42] With the [1:59:43] indulgence of [1:59:43] the good [1:59:43] sponsor, [1:59:44] again, [1:59:45] you mentioned [1:59:45] it earlier, [1:59:45] but I'd just [1:59:46] like to [1:59:46] reiterate that [1:59:48] I would also [1:59:48] like to be [1:59:48] made a [1:59:49] co-author [1:59:49] of this bill. [1:59:50] Thank you, [1:59:50] Mr. President. [1:59:52] Thank you. [1:59:53] Thank you very much, [1:59:53] Senator William. [1:59:54] May I be [1:59:54] allowed, [1:59:54] Mr. President, [1:59:55] just to give [1:59:56] a very short [1:59:56] explanation [1:59:57] on this [1:59:58] particular [1:59:59] measure [1:59:59] because this [2:00:00] is also [2:00:00] our pet [2:00:01] bill, [2:00:01] Mr. President. [2:00:01] If you [2:00:02] accept the [2:00:02] position of [2:00:03] majority leader, [2:00:04] then you [2:00:04] can proceed. [2:00:05] Thank you [2:00:05] for being [2:00:06] considerate, [2:00:07] Mr. President. [2:00:08] Mr. President, [2:00:09] we vote yes [2:00:10] on the proposed [2:00:10] amendments [2:00:11] to the [2:00:11] universal [2:00:12] access to [2:00:13] quality [2:00:13] tertiary [2:00:14] education [2:00:15] act. [2:00:15] When we [2:00:16] enacted, [2:00:16] Mr. President, [2:00:17] this [2:00:17] RA 10931 [2:00:19] during the [2:00:21] 17th [2:00:21] Congress, [2:00:23] we opened [2:00:24] the doors [2:00:24] of higher [2:00:26] education [2:00:26] education [2:00:27] to millions [2:00:27] of young [2:00:28] Filipinos. [2:00:29] But as [2:00:29] the findings [2:00:30] of EDGOM2 [2:00:31] have shown, [2:00:32] access alone [2:00:33] is not [2:00:33] enough. [2:00:34] Many [2:00:34] students [2:00:35] continue to [2:00:35] face [2:00:36] learning gaps, [2:00:37] financial [2:00:37] pressures, [2:00:38] and other [2:00:38] barriers that [2:00:39] prevent them [2:00:40] from completing [2:00:41] their education. [2:00:43] Now, [2:00:43] through the [2:00:43] work of EDGOM2, [2:00:44] particularly, [2:00:46] Mr. President, [2:00:47] in our role [2:00:48] as chairperson [2:00:49] of the [2:00:50] Standing Committee [2:00:50] on Technical [2:00:51] Vocational [2:00:51] Education [2:00:52] and Training [2:00:53] and Lifelong [2:00:53] Learning, [2:00:54] we have [2:00:54] seen the [2:00:55] urgent need [2:00:56] to strengthen [2:00:56] support systems [2:00:57] for learners [2:00:58] and make [2:01:00] our education [2:01:01] system more [2:01:02] responsive to [2:01:03] present realities. [2:01:05] These amendments [2:01:06] move us closer [2:01:07] to that goal [2:01:09] by improving [2:01:10] the delivery [2:01:11] and targeting [2:01:12] of tertiary [2:01:13] education support [2:01:14] and ensuring [2:01:14] that more [2:01:15] students are [2:01:16] not able [2:01:17] to enter school [2:01:18] but also [2:01:19] complete [2:01:19] their education [2:01:20] successfully. [2:01:22] Kaya, [2:01:22] Ginong Pangulo, [2:01:23] hindi lamang po [2:01:24] ito usapin [2:01:25] ng libring matrikula, [2:01:27] ito po ay usapin [2:01:28] ng tunay na [2:01:30] oportunidad [2:01:30] at mas magandang [2:01:31] kinabukasan [2:01:32] para sa ating [2:01:33] mga kabataan. [2:01:35] Muli, [2:01:35] binabati natin [2:01:36] si Sen. [2:01:36] Lauren Legarda [2:01:37] for sponsoring [2:01:38] and defending [2:01:39] this measure [2:01:40] and our [2:01:41] co-authors. [2:01:42] For this [2:01:43] reason, [2:01:43] Mr. President, [2:01:44] and as author [2:01:45] and co-sponsor [2:01:46] of this measure, [2:01:47] we reiterate [2:01:47] our yes vote. [2:01:48] Itaas po natin [2:01:49] ang antas [2:01:50] ng edukasyon [2:01:51] sa Pilipinas. [2:01:51] Maraming salamat po [2:01:52] and may God bless us all. [2:01:54] Mr. President, [2:01:55] Senator Risa [2:01:56] Antiveros is [2:01:56] seeking the floor. [2:01:57] I move that [2:01:57] she be recognized. [2:01:58] Thank you, [2:01:59] Majority Leader, [2:02:00] for your [2:02:00] explanation of vote. [2:02:01] Senator Risa [2:02:02] Antiveros. [2:02:06] Salamat po, [2:02:07] Mr. President. [2:02:07] Mr. President, [2:02:08] I vote yes [2:02:09] to the enhancing [2:02:11] the universal [2:02:12] access to [2:02:13] Quality [2:02:13] Tertiary [2:02:14] Education Act. [2:02:16] The free [2:02:16] higher education [2:02:17] law transformed [2:02:18] millions of lives [2:02:19] but delays [2:02:21] in subsidies [2:02:22] and funding gaps [2:02:23] have failed [2:02:24] many students [2:02:25] and strained [2:02:26] our SUCs [2:02:27] and LUCs. [2:02:28] Since 2022, [2:02:30] my office [2:02:31] has received [2:02:31] complaints [2:02:32] from students [2:02:33] whose tertiary [2:02:34] education subsidy [2:02:35] arrived late [2:02:37] or never arrived [2:02:39] at all. [2:02:40] Some were forced [2:02:40] to stop schooling [2:02:41] because they could [2:02:42] no longer afford [2:02:43] to stay enrolled. [2:02:45] Hindi dapat [2:02:46] pinapabayaan [2:02:47] ang mga estudyanteng [2:02:48] nagsisikap [2:02:49] makapagtapos. [2:02:51] This measure [2:02:52] strengthens [2:02:52] accountability. [2:02:54] It requires [2:02:55] Unifast [2:02:55] to improve [2:02:56] and speed up [2:02:57] subsidy [2:02:58] disbursement [2:02:58] and establishes [2:03:00] an accessible [2:03:01] grievance mechanism [2:03:02] so students [2:03:03] can report [2:03:04] problems [2:03:04] and seek [2:03:05] redress. [2:03:06] Importante rin [2:03:07] na sa wakas, [2:03:09] prioridad na [2:03:10] ang mga [2:03:10] pinakamahihirap [2:03:11] lalo na [2:03:12] ang mga [2:03:12] pamilyang [2:03:13] kabilang [2:03:14] sa 4Ps. [2:03:15] Pinalalawak [2:03:16] din itong [2:03:17] oportunidad [2:03:17] para sa [2:03:18] mga [2:03:19] solo parents [2:03:20] at persons [2:03:20] with disabilities. [2:03:22] Matagal [2:03:23] nang sinasalo [2:03:24] ng ating [2:03:24] state universities [2:03:25] and colleges [2:03:26] ang kakulangan [2:03:27] sa pondo [2:03:28] para sa [2:03:29] free higher [2:03:29] education. [2:03:31] Dahil dito, [2:03:32] napipilitan silang [2:03:33] bawasan [2:03:33] ang ibang [2:03:34] mahalagang [2:03:35] gastusin [2:03:36] at tumanggi [2:03:37] sa mga [2:03:37] kwalifikadong [2:03:38] estudyante. [2:03:40] Tinutugunan [2:03:40] ng panukalang [2:03:41] ito [2:03:41] ang problemang [2:03:42] iyon [2:03:42] sa pamamagitan [2:03:44] ng paggarantya [2:03:45] ng funding [2:03:46] deficiencies [2:03:47] sa susunod [2:03:48] na gaa. [2:03:49] Kung seryoso [2:03:50] tayo sa tunay [2:03:51] na universal [2:03:52] access to [2:03:53] education, [2:03:54] kailangan [2:03:54] nating [2:03:55] siguraduhin [2:03:56] na walang [2:03:57] estudyante [2:03:57] ang naiiwan [2:03:58] at walang [2:03:59] paaralan [2:04:00] ang napapabayaan. [2:04:01] I vote yes. [2:04:02] Salamat po, [2:04:03] Mr. President. [2:04:05] Thank you, [2:04:05] Senator [2:04:06] Tiveras. [2:04:11] Mr. President, [2:04:14] Senator [2:04:14] Ligarda [2:04:15] is seeking [2:04:16] the floor. [2:04:17] I move that [2:04:17] to be recognized, [2:04:18] Mr. President. [2:04:19] The Senate [2:04:20] President [2:04:20] Pro Tempore [2:04:21] Senator [2:04:22] Ligarda [2:04:23] is recognized. [2:04:24] Thank you, [2:04:24] Mr. President. [2:04:25] Distinguished [2:04:25] colleagues, [2:04:26] ang AICS [2:04:27] ay isa [2:04:28] sa pinakamahalagang [2:04:29] tulong [2:04:29] ng pamahalaan [2:04:30] para sa mga [2:04:31] Pilipinong [2:04:32] biglaang [2:04:32] nahaharap [2:04:33] sa krisis, [2:04:35] pagkakasakit, [2:04:36] aksidente, [2:04:37] pagkamatay [2:04:38] ng mahal [2:04:38] sa buhay, [2:04:39] pagkasunog, [2:04:40] pagkawala [2:04:40] ng hanap buhay, [2:04:42] at maraming [2:04:42] iba pang [2:04:43] matinding [2:04:43] pangangailangan. [2:04:44] Sa pamamagitan [2:04:45] ng panokalang [2:04:46] ito, [2:04:47] binibigyan [2:04:47] natin [2:04:48] ang AICS [2:04:49] ng malinaw [2:04:50] at permanenteng [2:04:51] batayang legal. [2:04:53] Hindi na lamang [2:04:53] ito aasa [2:04:54] sa mga [2:04:54] issuances [2:04:56] at taon [2:04:57] ng pondo, [2:04:58] magkakaroon na ito [2:04:59] ng malinaw [2:05:00] na mandato, [2:05:00] mas maayos [2:05:01] na sistema, [2:05:02] mas matibay [2:05:03] na pananagutan. [2:05:04] Mahalaga rin [2:05:05] na ipasok [2:05:06] natin [2:05:06] ang mga [2:05:06] amyenda [2:05:07] upang [2:05:07] mas malinaw [2:05:08] ang data, [2:05:09] mga privacy [2:05:10] safeguards, [2:05:11] mga maayos [2:05:12] ang koordinasyon [2:05:13] sa LGUs, [2:05:14] at mas malinaw [2:05:15] ang ugnayan [2:05:16] ng AICS [2:05:17] medical assistance [2:05:18] sa iba pang [2:05:18] health assistance [2:05:19] programs [2:05:20] ng ating [2:05:21] pamahalaan. [2:05:22] Pinatitibay din [2:05:23] ng panokala [2:05:24] ang mga [2:05:25] pananggalang [2:05:27] laban [2:05:29] sa pang-aabuso, [2:05:31] sa pumumulitika, [2:05:32] sa katiwalian, [2:05:33] panggigipit [2:05:34] sa mga [2:05:34] benepisyaryo. [2:05:36] Ang ayuda [2:05:37] ay dapat [2:05:37] makakarating [2:05:38] sa nangangailangan, [2:05:39] hindi sa [2:05:40] pamamagitan [2:05:41] ng palakasan, [2:05:42] padrino [2:05:43] o politika.

so [2:27:31] his [2:27:31] report [2:27:32] was that [2:27:33] nangharas [2:27:34] daw yung [2:27:34] osaha [2:27:35] but when [2:27:35] I showed [2:27:36] him [2:27:36] the [2:27:36] video [2:27:36] he was [2:27:37] also [2:27:38] surprised [2:27:38] but of [2:27:39] course [2:27:39] there are [2:27:39] many [2:27:40] videos [2:27:40] so [2:27:41] that's [2:27:41] my [2:27:41] first [2:27:41] point [2:27:42] that [2:27:43] in [2:27:44] reaction [2:27:45] to [2:27:45] what [2:27:46] you [2:27:46] said [2:27:47] iba [2:27:48] yung [2:27:48] magulo [2:27:48] senate [2:27:49] iba [2:27:49] yung [2:27:49] ginugulo [2:27:50] ang [2:27:50] senate [2:27:51] kahit [2:27:53] sinong [2:27:53] tahimik [2:27:54] pag [2:27:54] ginulo [2:27:54] magmumukhang [2:27:56] magulo [2:27:56] but today

inherent [2:28:03] weakness [2:28:04] of [2:28:04] social [2:28:05] media [2:28:05] versus [2:28:06] news [2:28:09] legitimate [2:28:11] I will [2:28:12] not use [2:28:12] legitimate [2:28:13] because [2:28:13] everything [2:28:14] is [2:28:14] legitimate [2:28:15] no matter [2:28:16] what [2:28:16] the [2:28:17] platform [2:28:17] but what [2:28:17] I'm [2:28:17] saying [2:28:18] is [2:28:18] that [2:28:18] when [2:28:19] people [2:28:19] cut [2:28:21] interviews [2:28:22] so for [2:28:23] example [2:28:24] I think [2:28:24] Senator [2:28:25] Tuliane [2:28:25] said [2:28:25] anong pinagsasabi

ang [2:28:34] sinabi [2:28:34] ko [2:28:34] ang [2:28:36] naging [2:28:36] tradisyon [2:28:37] at [2:28:38] nirrespeto [2:28:39] to [2:28:39] ng kahit [2:28:40] na pinaka [2:28:40] mabibigat [2:28:41]

bago nila [2:28:51] iserve [2:28:52] ang warrant [2:28:52] dito [2:28:53] number [2:28:53] two [2:28:54] we allow [2:28:55] the senator [2:28:56] to exhaust [2:28:56] all [2:28:57] all [2:28:59] legal [2:29:00] remedies [2:29:00] and [2:29:02] number [2:29:02] three [2:29:02] in the [2:29:03] case [2:29:03] of [2:29:03] senator [2:29:04] Bato [2:29:04] it [2:29:05] has [2:29:05] to [2:29:05] be [2:29:05] a [2:29:06] warrant [2:29:07] issued [2:29:07] by a [2:29:08] philippine [2:29:08] judge [2:29:08] in a [2:29:09] philippine [2:29:09] court [2:29:10] and [2:29:11] still [2:29:12] he

[2:33:38] Pia [2:33:38] Cayetano [2:33:39] that [2:33:40] we [2:33:40] went [2:33:40] to the [2:33:41] clinic [2:33:41] yesterday [2:33:42] and we [2:33:42] saw [2:33:43] Terrence [2:33:43] Lim [2:33:44] the [2:33:44] Osa [2:33:44] I [2:33:45] will [2:33:45] not [2:33:46] give [2:33:46] the [2:33:46] details [2:33:46] on [2:33:47] which [2:33:48] hospital [2:33:48] but [2:33:49] he [2:33:49] was [2:33:49] being [2:33:49] checked [2:33:50] by [2:33:50] our [2:33:50] medical [2:33:50] doctor [2:33:51] and [2:33:52] because [2:33:52] there [2:33:53] was [2:33:53] supposedly [2:33:54] a [2:33:54] hematoma [2:33:54] and [2:33:55] we [2:33:55] saw [2:33:55] his [2:33:56] physical [2:33:56] condition [2:33:57] so [2:33:57] we [2:33:58] asked [2:33:58] for [2:33:58] an [2:33:58] ambulance [2:33:59] Senator [2:34:00] Pia [2:34:01] and I [2:34:01] and he [2:34:02] is [2:34:02] in a [2:34:02] private [2:34:03] hospital [2:34:03] now [2:34:04] I [2:34:05] I'm [2:34:06] covering [2:34:07] his [2:34:07] personally [2:34:08] his [2:34:08] expenses [2:34:08] because [2:34:09] his [2:34:09] medical card [2:34:11] in the [2:34:11] Senate [2:34:11] would not [2:34:12] cover [2:34:12] the [2:34:12] private [2:34:13] doctors [2:34:14] and [2:34:14] consultations [2:34:15] expense [2:34:16] the [2:34:16] CT scan [2:34:17] and all [2:34:17] that [2:34:18] and [2:34:18] because [2:34:19] there [2:34:19] is [2:34:19] a [2:34:19] supposed [2:34:20] hematoma [2:34:21] and [2:34:21] it's [2:34:21] not [2:34:22] just [2:34:22] I [2:34:23] thought [2:34:23] there's [2:34:23] just [2:34:23] going [2:34:23] to be [2:34:23] a [2:34:24] checkup [2:34:24] but [2:34:25] there [2:34:25] was [2:34:25] a [2:34:25] need [2:34:25] for [2:34:26] a [2:34:26] minimum [2:34:26] of [2:34:27] three [2:34:27] days [2:34:27] stay [2:34:28] to [2:34:28] check [2:34:29] his [2:34:29] condition [2:34:29] because [2:34:30] it's [2:34:30] not [2:34:30] as [2:34:31] simple [2:34:31] as [2:34:31] that [2:34:32] could [2:34:32] have [2:34:32] been [2:34:32] dealt [2:34:33] with [2:34:33] in a [2:34:34] medical [2:34:34] clinic [2:34:34] all I [2:34:36] can say [2:34:36] was [2:34:37] we [2:34:37] were [2:34:38] shocked [2:34:38] Senator [2:34:39] Pia [2:34:39] would [2:34:39] probably [2:34:40] be able [2:34:40] to [2:34:41] explain [2:34:42] this [2:34:42] I [2:34:43] could [2:34:43] not [2:34:44] explain [2:34:44] how [2:34:45] that [2:34:45] actually [2:34:46] could [2:34:46] happen [2:34:46] at the [2:34:47] gates [2:34:47] of the [2:34:47] Senate [2:34:48] it's [2:34:49] something [2:34:49] you see [2:34:49] in the [2:34:49] movies [2:34:50] it's [2:34:51] shocking [2:34:52] when [2:34:54] Senator [2:34:54] Subidi [2:34:55] said [2:34:55] I don't [2:34:57] think [2:34:58] you meant [2:34:58] that [2:34:58] literally [2:34:59] you meant [2:35:00] it [2:35:00] figuratively [2:35:01] to show [2:35:01] your [2:35:01] outrage [2:35:02] to show [2:35:03] yes [2:35:04] no [2:35:04] I [2:35:05] would [2:35:05] like [2:35:05] to [2:35:05] because [2:35:06] we're [2:35:06] not [2:35:06] supposed [2:35:06] to [2:35:07] do [2:35:08] but

[2:35:16] to [2:35:16] his [2:35:16] rescue [2:35:17] because [2:35:17] the [2:35:18] video [2:35:18] that [2:35:18] Senator [2:35:19] Pia [2:35:19] showed [2:35:19] me [2:35:20] was [2:35:21]

I [2:35:41] cannot [2:35:41] put [2:35:42] it [2:35:42] on [2:35:42] record [2:35:42] unless [2:35:43] I [2:35:43] have [2:35:43] first [2:35:43] hand [2:35:44] knowledge [2:35:44] but [2:35:45] it [2:35:45] shocked [2:35:46] me [2:35:46] when [2:35:46] the [2:35:47] OSA [2:35:47] gave [2:35:48] me [2:35:48] the [2:35:48] information [2:35:49] today [2:35:50] I [2:35:50] don't [2:35:51] want
