Sen. Erwin Tulfo, kinuwestiyon ang pagmamadali sa pag-amyenda ng Senate rules — GMA News

[0:00] Madam President, my question is, why is the majority in such a hurry to tackle this motion, [0:11] this allowing a senator for justifiable reasons to attend and participate in the session through teleconference, [0:17] whereas in Rule 14, Section 41, under B, it is convenient to hold a session through teleconference, [0:27] videoconference, or other reliable forms of remote or electronic means using appropriate information and communications technology system [0:36] due to force majeure, Madam President, or the occurrence of a national emergency? [0:42] I guess, Madam President, this justifiable reason, what is that? [0:48] Does that fall under force majeure, or does it fall under national emergency, Madam President? [0:55] Madam President, my question is, why are we in so hurry? [0:58] Why are they, the majority, in a hurry to tackle this motion and divide the House, Madam President? [1:07] I need, we need answers in the minority. [1:10] Madam Chair. [1:11] Or is it because, Madam Chair, they are in a hurry because of news reports that probably two of our colleagues might land in jail this weekend? [1:20] Is that the reason why? Is that the reason why? Is that the reason why they have to have this inserted, this Section 41C para makaboto po kung sino man yung makukulong [1:32] dahil sa announcement ng ombudsman na may ilalabas na po ang warat ng ilan sa mga kasama natin, Madam President? [1:41] That is my question, Madam President. [1:43] Madam Chair, the gentleman is out of order because his question, sanagmamadali, bakit, can be discussed in the actual motion, can be discussed after the motion whether we should take it up. [2:01] We take offense that bibigyan niya ng ganyang kulay. It's just like us saying, are you afraid if we have the hearing on the Blue Ribbon on flood control, e mababanggit ka rin. [2:12] You do not make that kind of statements here in the Senate because you assume good faith from everyone. [2:19] That rule hindi minadali. May 11 pa huyon. So, Madam Chair, I move that we divide the House. [2:27] And the voting will be done via Viva Votche? [2:31] Madam President. [2:32] Minority Leader. [2:34] I move to adjourn or a quorum call. [2:42] At is a higher Presidence, Madam President. [2:48] So, I only see the Minority Leader representing the minority. The others had left? [2:57] Madam Chair, we will not object but for the record, they scampered out and left the Minority Leader instead of discussing the rule. [3:09] We are not even discussing the rule yet. [3:12] And then, ganun na yung allegation nila. [3:18] And no one from the Minority stood up to say that out of order, si Senator Irwin Tulfo. [3:27] So, we will not object, Madam Chair. In fact, we move that we adjourn till 5 p.m. Monday. [3:34] Before that, Madam President, motion to adjourn is not debatable. [3:40] Akala ko ba, magaling sa rules. [3:42] We're not debating, we're not debating Minority Leader to adjourn. [3:46] We're not debating, Madam Chair. [3:47] And we will indeed adjourn... [3:49] Parliamentary inquiry. [3:51] Yes, Senator McClary. [3:52] Nung pong nagsimula tayo, Madam, meron po ba tayong quorum? [4:00] We had a quorum, yes. [4:01] Yes, Madam President. [4:04] Kapag ka po ba nag-walk out ang minority, nawawala po yung quorum? [4:07] Nagsimula po tayong may quorum. [4:09] It doesn't matter if they walk out. [4:11] Yes. [4:12] I think we still have the quorum. [4:14] Madam President, Madam President, once there is a quorum call, you have to call the roll. [4:21] Kahit naka-present lahat o kulang kanina, o there was a motion to dispense, whatever that is. [4:28] Not a funny situation, Madam President, when they readily and willingly walk out. [4:34] Takes presidents... [4:35] Hindi po yung covered ng rule natin, Madam President. [4:38] As reiterated by the Senate President, and as conveyed by the Minority Leader, former Senate President, [4:44] the rule states that the motion to adjourn takes precedence. [4:49] I'm not taking sides... [4:50] 5 p.m. Monday. [4:51] ...and we will adjourn session. [4:54] Until 5 p.m. Monday. [4:55] Until 5 p.m. Monday. [4:57] On Monday, June 1st, 2026. [5:00] June 2nd? [5:01] First ma? [5:02] June 1. [5:03] June 1 ba yun? [5:03] First ma? [5:04] First ma? [5:04] First ma? [5:05] First ma? [5:05] First ma? [5:06] First ma? [5:06] First ma? [5:07] First ma? [5:08] First ma? [5:08] First ma? [5:09] First ma? [5:09] First ma? [5:10] First ma? [5:10] First ma? [5:11] First ma? [5:12] First ma? [5:12] First ma? [5:13] First ma? [5:13] First ma? [5:14] First ma? [5:14] First ma? [5:15] First ma? [5:16] First ma? [5:17] First ma? [5:18] First ma? [5:19] First ma? [5:20] First ma? [5:21] First ma? [5:22] First ma? [5:23] First ma? [5:24] First ma? [5:25] First ma? [5:26] First ma? [5:27] First ma? [5:28] First ma? [5:29] First ma?
