'Walang legal background': Marcoleta belittles Hontiveros at Senate session

[0:00] Mr. President, without giving meaning to anything, [0:04] ito po ang mahirap kasi kung wala po tayong legal background dito. [0:09] Kaya sinasabi ko na nga po, [0:11] hindi po bagong motion ito eh. [0:14] Hindi siya bagong motion. [0:16] Kasasabi ko lang po, May 11, minub ko na po ito eh. [0:20] Sino po man sasabi na bagong motion? [0:25] Sinasabi ko lamang po, [0:26] ang sinasabi ko lang, kanina ko po po sinasabi, [0:29] ang tama yun, ang sasabi niya, ay walang kinalaman, walang alam sa batas. [0:36] Session is resumed. [0:38] Senator Cayetano. [0:40] I'm listening to the two senators, [0:42] and as I mentioned kanina na huwag na tayong gumamit ng brasuhan, et cetera, [0:47] and I see the point of Senator Risa, [0:50] but I'm also listening to Senator Marcoleta. [0:53] It's a, kumbaga sa libro, iba yung love language, [0:57] but I don't think they're meant to be any offense. [1:01] Having said that, [1:02] we're only discussing whether we will take up the amendment or not, [1:07] and we have exhausted already all the arguments. [1:11] This is a simple motion, [1:13] so I move that we divide the house, [1:16] may irritate my motion. [1:17] Then we can go into the merits, [1:18] and they can try to convince us whether or not we agree. [1:27] So the motion is to take up the amendment to our rules, [1:32] as proposed by Senator Marcoleta. [1:35] The objection is that it is not in order [1:38] because we did not follow our own rules. [1:43] Madam Chair, Madam President. [1:46] Before that. [1:47] Madam President. [1:48] Yes, we recognize Senator Irwin Tulfo. [1:51] Madam President, my question is, [1:52] why is the majority in such a hurry to tackle this motion, [2:01] this allowing a senator for justifiable reasons to attend [2:04] and participate in the session through teleconference, [2:08] whereas in Rule 14, Section 41, under B, [2:15] it is convenient to hold a session through teleconference, [2:18] teleconference, or other reliable forms of remote or electronic means [2:23] using appropriate information and communications technology system [2:27] due to force majeure, Madam President, [2:30] or the occurrence of a national emergency? [2:34] I guess, Madam President, this justifiable reason, [2:37] what is that? [2:38] Does that fall under force majeure, [2:41] or does it fall under national emergency? [2:45] Madam President. [2:45] My question is, why are we in so hurry? [2:49] Why are they, the majority, in a hurry [2:52] to tackle this motion and divide the House, Madam President? [2:58] I need, we need answers in the minority. [3:01] Madam Chair. [3:01] Or is it because, Madam Chair, [3:04] they are in a hurry because of news reports [3:06] that probably two of our colleagues might land in jail this weekend? [3:11] Is that the reason why? [3:12] Is that the reason why they have to have this inserted, [3:16] the Section 41C, [3:19] para makaboto po kung sino man yung makukulong [3:22] dahil sa announcement ng ombudsman [3:26] na may lalabas po ang warat [3:29] ng ilan sa mga kasama natin, Madam President? [3:32] That is my question, Madam President. [3:33] Madam Chair, [3:34] the gentleman is out of order [3:37] because his question, [3:39] sanong mamadali, [3:41] bakit, [3:42] can be discussed [3:43] in the actual motion, [3:47] can be discussed [3:48] after the motion [3:50] whether we should take it up. [3:52] We take offense [3:52] that [3:53] bibigyan niya ng ganyang kulay. [3:56] It's just like us saying, [3:57] are you afraid [3:58] if we have the [3:59] hearing on [4:00] the Blue Ribbon [4:01] on flood control, [4:02] eh, [4:02] mababanggit ka rin. [4:03] You do not make that kind of [4:05] statements here in the Senate [4:06] because you assume [4:08] good faith from everyone. [4:10] That rule, [4:11] hindi minadali. [4:12] May 11 pa huyon. [4:14] So, Madam Chair, [4:15] I move that we [4:16] divide the House. [4:19] And the voting [4:19] will be done [4:20] via Viva Voche? [4:21] Madam President. [4:23] Minority Leader. [4:25] I move to adjourn [4:27] or a quorum call. [4:33] At isha hire presidents, [4:38] Madam President. [4:40] So, [4:41] I only see [4:42] the minority leader [4:43] representing the minority. [4:46] The others had left. [4:47] Madam Chair, [4:49] we will not object [4:51] but for the record, [4:53] they scumpered out [4:54] and left the minority leader [4:56] instead of discussing [4:58] the rule. [4:59] We are not even [5:01] discussing the rule yet. [5:04] And then, [5:05] ganun na yung [5:07] allegation nila. [5:08] And no one [5:09] from the minority [5:10] stood up [5:11] to say [5:11] that out of order [5:13] si Senator [5:14] Irwin [5:16] Tulfo. [5:17] So, [5:18] we will not object, [5:19] Madam Chair. [5:20] In fact, [5:20] we move that we [5:21] adjourn till [5:22] 5 p.m. [5:23] Monday. [5:24] Before that, [5:26] Madam President, [5:27] motion to adjourn [5:28] is not debatable. [5:30] Akala ko ba, [5:31] magaling cerebrals. [5:32] We're not debating [5:33] we're not debating [5:35] with the minority [5:35] inquiry, Madam President. [5:37] We're not debating, [5:38] Madam Chair. [5:40] Parliamentary inquiry. [5:42] Yes, [5:42] Senator McCullough. [5:43] Nung pong nagsimula tayo, [5:45] Madam, [5:45] meron po ba tayong [5:46] quorum? [5:50] We had a quorum, [5:51] yes. [5:52] Yes, Madam President. [5:54] Kapagka po ba [5:55] nag-walk out [5:56] ang minority, [5:57] nawawala po yung quorum, [5:58] nagsimula po tayong [5:59] may quorum. [5:59] It doesn't matter [6:00] if they walk out. [6:02] Yes, sir. [6:02] I think we still [6:03] have the quorum. [6:04] Madam President, [6:06] Madam President, [6:07] once there is [6:08] a quorum call, [6:09] you have to call the roll. [6:12] Kahit nakapresent lahat [6:14] o kulang kanina [6:15] o there was a [6:16] motion to dispense, [6:17] whatever that is. [6:19] Not upon a situation, [6:20] Madam President, [6:21] when they readily [6:23] and willingly walk out. [6:24] Takes presidents. [6:25] Hindi po yung [6:26] cover the roll natin, [6:27] Madam President. [6:28] As reiterated [6:30] by the Senate President [6:31] and as conveyed [6:32] by the minority leader [6:34] former Senate President, [6:35] the rule states [6:37] that the motion [6:38] to adjourn [6:39] takes precedence [6:40] and not taking sides [6:41] and we will [6:43] adjourn session [6:44] until 5 p.m. [6:47] on Monday, [6:48] June 1st, [6:50] 2026. [6:51] June 2nd? [6:52] June 1st? [6:53] June 1. [6:54] The birthday [6:55] of Senator Lakson. [6:56] So we will have [6:57] cooler heads. [7:08] June 2nd? [7:09] June 2nd? [7:10] June 2nd? [7:11] June 2nd? [7:12] June 2nd? [7:13] June 2nd? [7:14] June 2nd? [7:15] June 2nd? [7:16] June 2nd? [7:17] June 2nd? [7:18] June 2nd? [7:19] June 2nd? [7:20] June 2nd? [7:21] June 2nd? [7:22] June 2nd? [7:23] June 2nd? [7:24] June 2nd? [7:25] June 2nd? [7:26] June 2nd? [7:27] June 2nd? [7:28] June 2nd? [7:29] June 2nd? [7:30] June 2nd? [7:31] June 2nd? [7:32] June 2nd? [7:33] June 2nd? [7:34] June 2nd? [7:34] June 2nd? [7:35] June 2nd? [7:36] Thank you. [8:06] Thank you. [8:37] Thank you. [9:09] Thank you. [9:40] Thank you.
