[0:00] And Tito and Migs. Yes, I've worked with them. [0:03] Alam nyo, ah, kailan naman ang bibigay ng kulang? [0:07] So paano naman yung... [0:08] Kasi kailangan mo ng story. [0:09] Oh no, ma'am, alam mo yan. [0:11] So paano na po yung impetasyon ninyo sa Supreme Court? [0:12] Paano na po yung impetasyon ninyo sa Supreme Court? [0:15] At din andun, bibigay niya ng kalutasan ng Korte Suprema. [0:18] Kasi ang aming tinatanong, hindi naman yung today, alam mo naman yun, di ba? [0:22] Yung nangyari na reorganization noong June 3 na walang 13. [0:27] Pero ngayon, inayos nila. [0:29] So, inayos today. Recognize. [0:33] All is well that ends well na kayo? [0:34] All is well that ends well. Maayos na po. Wala nang gulog kayo. [0:37] It doesn't end. [0:38] All is well. Don't say it ends well. [0:41] Because life and work must never end. [0:44] So na nang tere-terecha na ito hanggang impeachment? [0:46] Huh? [0:47] Will you ever consider joining the majority? [0:49] You know, majority or minority? [0:51] Okay. [0:51] When we help the earthquake victims in Jensan, [0:54] tinatanong ba ng aming tinutulungan, [0:57] majority ka ba? [0:58] Minority ka ba? [0:59] Anong chairmanship mo? [1:01] Hindi eh. [1:02] Kamay halal. [1:03] 24.2 million Filipinos, perhaps more, elected me. [1:08] I don't think it's because I'm with the majority or minority [1:11] or the winning leadership change, di ba? [1:14] Or important ding nasa puso, nasa isip at nasa gamay. [1:18] Pag-to-tuloy na bako ang ga-impeachment? [1:22] Tuloy-tuloy na ang.. [1:23] Itong ganang composition ng trabaho.

[2:09] So ma'am, atin na kayo sa session, mamaya, ma'am? [2:12] Atin na po kayo sa session. [2:13] Sabay, sabay, sa isa. [2:14] So ma'am, atin na kayo sa session po [2:15] this afternoon?

[3:50] Pag may mayorya ka [3:52] ng 24, [3:54] a majority of all its members, [3:57] then you have the leadership [3:58] ganong kasimple. [4:00] Sundin lang natin [4:00] ang rules. [4:01] Diba? [4:01] Do you think [4:02] how long will this hold? [4:04] Majority rules, [4:06] yan naman po. [4:07] This is a collegial body. [4:12] Tapos na po. [4:13] So, [4:13] let's move on [4:14] with the new leadership, [4:17] with the new majority. [4:20] This is democracy. [4:23] Ganon naman talaga. [4:24] So, [4:24] ako naman, [4:25] kilala nyo po ako. [4:27] Gusto ko lang po [4:28] magtrabaho. [4:29] In fact, [4:31] during my first term [4:32] as senator, [4:34] wala po akong absent [4:36] sa Senado. [4:38] Sa first six years ko po, [4:39] hindi po ako nag-absent. [4:41] Gusto kong [4:41] magtrabaho tayo [4:43] para sa ating mga kababayang [4:44] Pilipino. [4:47] Alam nyo naman [4:48] na ang bisyo ko talaga [4:49] ay magservisyo [4:50] sa ating mga kababayang [4:51] Pilipino. [4:52] Ayoko may masayang na [4:53] oras. [4:54] Nakabalik na tayo. [4:55] Sana, [4:57] maging normal na po [4:58] ang takbo rito [5:00] sa Senado. [5:03] Nandito naman po kami [5:04] sa minority noon. [5:08] Hindi, [5:08] di rito pa rin [5:09] kami. [5:10] Ako po ay patuloy [5:12] na magtatrabaho, [5:13] magsaservisyo po [5:14] sa ating mga kababayang. [5:16] Tingin nyo, sir, [5:17] tapos na yung gulo? [5:19] Fresh start na. [5:21] Hopefully, [5:22] sana tapos na yung gulo, [5:24] makapagtrabaho na tayo. [5:25] Kapag servisyo na tayo. [5:28] Dahil bawat oras, [5:30] bawat minuto [5:31] na may gulo po [5:32] sa politika, [5:33] ang nasasakripisyo po [5:34] ang servisyo [5:36] sa ating mga kababayan. [5:37] Marami pong [5:38] madidelay na [5:39] batas, [5:40] mga bills [5:41] na dapat ay [5:43] natugunan [5:44] noon pa. [5:45] Halos isang buwan rin po [5:46] ang nasayang [5:48] sa gulo [5:49] dito sa [5:50] Senado. [5:51] Ako naman, [5:53] tutulong po ako, [5:55] susuporta po ako [5:56] sa mga [5:57] programa, [5:58] sa mga bills [5:59] o sa mga batas [6:00] na makakatulong talaga [6:01] sa mga mahihirap [6:02] nating kababayan. [6:03] Nakakaasa po [6:04] ng supporta, sir, [6:05] yung bagong mayorya [6:06] sa inyo, sir? [6:07] Basta sa kapakanan po [6:08] ng mga kababayan [6:09] nating Pilipino. [6:10] Pero, sir, [6:10] may pending kayo sa [6:11] interes ng bayan, [6:13] interes ng bawat [6:14] Pilipino po [6:15] ang [6:15] punahin natin. [6:18] Pero, sir, [6:18] may pending kayo sa [6:19] Supreme Court. [6:19] You're still questioning [6:20] yung nangyari [6:20] noong June 3. [6:22] Ay, ayaw ko na pong [6:23] mag-comment doon. [6:25] Lahat naman kami, [6:26] almost all of us, [6:27] nine senators, [6:29] led by [6:29] Senator Alan [6:31] Peter, [6:32] yung petition. [6:33] Antayin na lang natin [6:34] kung ano yung [6:35] magiging [6:35] resulta. [6:37] But, [6:37] that was [6:38] yesterday. [6:39] Iba naman po [6:40] ngayon, [6:41] dahil [6:41] meron na hong [6:43] bagong [6:44] majority. [6:46] Sir, bakit hindi po [6:47] kanina? [6:47] Wala ang minority [6:48] kanina even [6:49] during the election. [6:51] Hindi ko po [6:53] masagot yan. [6:55] Pero, sir, [6:56] bakit po [6:56] wala po kayo [6:57] kanina [6:58] during the election? [6:58] Andito naman ako [6:59] ngayon. [7:00] Andito na po [7:00] ako ngayon [7:01] sa commission [7:01] on appointment. [7:02] Yan ang po [7:02] natanggap [7:03] kong invitation. [7:03] Mr. Chair, [7:04] I think we should [7:05] clearly clarify [7:06] that this [7:07] plenary session [7:08] is not a [7:09] continuation [7:11] of the last [7:12] session. [7:12] This plenary [7:15] session is not [7:16] a continuation [7:17] of the last [7:18] session. [7:19] Simply because [7:20] this is a [7:21] clearly separate [7:22] proceeding [7:22] given that [7:23] Congress [7:24] adjourned [7:24] on June 3. [7:27] This is [7:27] very clear. [7:29] We should [7:30] not explain [7:32] it any [7:32] further. [7:33] and matibag [7:35] versus [7:35] benifire [7:36] was [7:36] quoted, [7:37] Mr. Chair. [7:39] In this [7:39] case, [7:40] Mr. Chair, [7:40] an ad-interim [7:41] appointment [7:42] can be [7:42] terminated [7:43] for two [7:43] causes [7:44] specified [7:45] in the [7:46] Constitution. [7:49] Article 7, [7:51] Section 16, [7:52] paragraph 2. [7:54] Ang sabi [7:54] doon, [7:55] the first [7:56] cause [7:56] is the [7:57] disapproval [7:57] of this [7:58] ad-interim [7:59] appointment [7:59] by the [8:00] CA. [8:00] The second [8:01] one is [8:02] the [8:03] adjournment [8:03] of Congress [8:04] without the [8:04] CA [8:04] acting on [8:05] his [8:05] appointment. [8:08] Ito yung [8:08] matibag [8:09] versus [8:09] benifire. [8:13] Mr. Chair, [8:13] may I [8:14] manifest that [8:15] I have [8:15] nothing [8:16] against [8:18] the [8:18] five [8:19] officers [8:19] subject [8:19] of [8:20] today's [8:20] confirmation. [8:21] I think [8:22] we have [8:22] to thank [8:24] them [8:24] for their [8:24] gallantry [8:25] and service [8:25] to our [8:26] nation. [8:27] I'm just [8:27] trying to [8:28] make a [8:29] point [8:29] here, [8:29] but I [8:33] am not [8:33] objecting [8:34] because [8:35] we need [8:36] to know [8:37] and we [8:38] need to [8:39] articulate [8:40] what is [8:41] the law [8:41] that must [8:43] be [8:44] the concern [8:45] of this [8:46] proceeding, [8:46] Mr. Chair. [8:49] Sana [8:49] wala na [8:49] yung [8:50] assumption [8:50] kasi [8:51] na sinasabi [8:52] pa nila [8:52] kanina [8:53] that [8:53] di [8:53] ris [8:53] a [8:53] continuation. [8:54] This [8:54] is not [8:55] alam [8:55] natin [8:55] lahat [8:56] yun [8:56] because [8:58] we [8:59] are [8:59] misleading [8:59] our [8:59] members [9:00] for [9:00] doing [9:01] that [9:01] Mr. Chair. [9:02] Ang [9:03] importante [9:03] nilang [9:03] dito, [9:05] kung wala [9:05] namang [9:06] mag-object [9:06] sa [9:06] kanila, [9:07] I'm [9:07] just [9:07] pointing [9:07] it [9:08] for [9:08] the [9:08] record [9:09] that [9:09] there [9:10] is [9:10] a [9:10] law [9:10] that [9:11] must [9:12] be [9:12] respected [9:13] in [9:14] connection [9:14] with [9:14] this, [9:15] Mr. Chair. [9:15] Thank you. [9:17] Thank you, [9:18] Honor.
