Walang quorum: Bangayan sa Senado nauwi sa walkout ng minority — ABS-CBN News

[0:00] i'm listening to the two senators and as i mentioned canina and i see the point of senator [0:09] risa but i'm also listening to senator marcoleta it's a kumbaga sa libro iba yung love language but [0:17] i don't think they're meant to be any offense uh having said that we're only discussing whether we [0:24] will take up the amendment or not and we have exhausted already all the arguments uh this is a [0:32] simple motion so i move that we divide the house may irritate my motion then we can go into the [0:38] merits and they can try to convince us whether or not we agree so the motion is to to take up the [0:49] amendment to our rules as proposed by senator marcoleta the objection is that it is not in order [0:58] uh because we did not follow our own rules madam chair and the president uh before that [1:07] with the president yes we recognize senator erwin tulfo but i'm president my question is why is the [1:14] majority in such a hurry to tackle this motion this allowing a senator for justifiable reasons to attend [1:24] and participate in the session through teleconference whereas in rule 14 section 41 under b it is [1:34] convenient hold the session through teleconference video conference or other reliable forms of remote [1:41] or electronic means using appropriate informations and communications technology system due to force [1:47] force majeure madam president or the occurrence of a national emergency i guess madam president this [1:55] justifiable reason what is that does that fall under force majeure or does it fall under national [2:03] emergency madam president my question is why are we in so hurry why are they the majority in a hurry to [2:13] tackle this motion and divide the house madam president i i need i we we need we need answers in the minority [2:20] i'm chair or is it because madam chair they're in a hurry because of news reports that probably two of our [2:28] colleagues might land in jail this weekend is that the reason why is that the reason why they have to have [2:34] this inserted this section 41 c for a makaboto po kung sino man yung makukulong that's an announcement [2:43] ng sandang ombudsman na mamay may lalabasa po ang warat na ila sa mga kasama natin madam president that is my [2:52] question madam madam chair the gentleman is out of order because his question san mamadale bakit can be discussed [3:02] in the actual motion uh can be discussed after the motion whether we should take it up we take offense [3:12] that bibigyan niya ng ganyang kulay it's just like us saying are you afraid if we have the hearing on the [3:19] blue ribbon on flood control eh mababanggit ka rin you you do not make that kind of statements here in the [3:26] senate because you assume good faith from everyone that rule hindi minadile may 11 pa huyon so madam [3:34] chair i move that we divide the house and the voting will be done via viva moche [3:41] madam president minority leader um i move to adjourn or a column quorum call [3:52] at least a higher precedence madam president so i only see the minority leader representing the [4:05] minority the others had left madam chair we will not object but for the record yes they scumpered out [4:14] and left the minority leader instead of discussing the rule we are not even discussing the rule yet and then [4:26] ganun na yung allegation nila and no one from the minorities stood up to say that out of order [4:33] see senator erwin tulfo so we will not object madam chair in fact we move that we adjourn till 5 pm [4:42] monday before that before that before we end up motion to adjourn is not debatable [4:52] we're not debating is not debatable we're not debating and we will indeed adjourn uh [4:59] parliamentary inquiry yes [5:01] yes center my colleague [5:02] noong pong nagsimula tayo madam meron po ba tayong quorum we had a quorum yes yes madam president [5:13] kapagka po ba nag walk out ang minority nawawala po yung quorum nagsimula po tayong may quorum it doesn't [5:19] matter if they walk out yes i think we are we still have the quorum madam president madam president once there is a [5:27] quorum call you have to call the roll [5:31] kahit nakapresent lahat o kulang kanina or there was a this motion to dispense whatever that is [5:37] not a quality situation madam president when they readily and willingly walk out takes president [5:44] hindi po yung cover the roll natin madam president as reiterated by the senate president and as conveyed [5:52] by the minority leader former senate president the rule states that the motion to adjourn takes [5:58] precedence and not taking sides 5 pm monday and we will adjourn session until 5 pm [6:06] monday on monday june 1st 2026 june 2nd first month june 1 the birthday of senator lakson so we will have cooler heads [7:58] on that one [8:37] Thank you.
