Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]Madam President without giving meaning to anything background of order section 13 session is resumed madame chair. Yes, Senator Kayatano.

[00:00:40]>> I'm listening to the two senators and as I mentioned, etc. And I see the point of Senator Risa, but I'm also listening to Senator Maruetta.

[00:00:54]It's a libay love language, but I don't think they're meant to be any offense.

[00:01:01]Uh having said that we're only discussing whether we will take up the amendment or not and we have exhausted already all the arguments. Uh this is a simple motion. So I move that we divide the house. May I retate my motion? Then we can go into the merits and they can try to convince us whether or not we agree.

[00:01:26]So, so the motion is to to take up the amendment to our rules as proposed by Senator Marleta. The objection is that it is not in order uh because we did not follow our own rules.

[00:01:43]>> Madam Chair, Madame President, >> uh before that, >> Madame President, >> yes, we recognize Senator Orwin Tulfo.

[00:01:51]Madame President, my question is why is the majority in such a hurry to tackle this motion?

[00:02:01]This allowing a senator for justifiable reasons to attend and participate in the session through teleconference. Whereas in rule 14 section 41 under B it says convenient hold the session through teleconference, video conference or other reliable forms of remote or electronic means using appropriate informations and communications technology system due to force majour madame president or the occurrence of a national emergency.

[00:02:34]I guess madame president this justifiable reason what is that? Does that fall under force majour or does it fall under national emergency? Madame president, >> my question is why are we in so hurry?

[00:02:49]Why are they the majority in a hurry to tackle this motion and divide the house?

[00:02:56]Madame President, >> I I need I we we need we need answers in the minority. Madam Chair, >> or is it because Madame Chair, they are in a hurry because of news reports that probably two of our colleagues might land in jail this weekend? Is that the reason why? Is that the reason why they have to have this inserted the section 41 C announcement?

[00:03:31]Madame President, that is my question.

[00:03:33]Madam Chair, Madame Chair, the gentleman is out of order because his question sad baket can be discussed in the actual uh motion uh can be discussed after the motion whether we should take it up. We take offense that it's just like us saying are you afraid if we have the hearing on the blue ribbon on flood control you you do not make that kind of statements here in the Senate because you assume good faith from everyone that rule May 11 pu. So madame chair I move that we divide the house >> and the voting will be done via >> madam president >> minority leader >> um I move to adjourn or a column colum call >> higher presidents madam president >> so I only see the minority leader were >> well >> representing the minority. The others had left >> on Madame Chair we will not object but for the record >> they scampered out and left the minority leader instead of discussing the rule.

[00:04:59]We are not even discussing the rule yet.

[00:05:04]And then uh ganuna allegation nil and no one from the minority stood up to say that out of order senator Irwin Tulfo. So we will not adj object madame chair. In fact uh we move that we adjourn till 5:00 p.m. President Monday.

[00:05:25]Before that president motion to adjourn is not debatable debating president and we will indeed adjourn uh >> parliamentary inquiry.

[00:05:42]>> Yes sad corum.

[00:05:50]We had a quorum. Yes.

[00:05:52]>> Yes madam. President it doesn't matter if they walk out. Yes sir.

[00:06:02]>> I think we we still have the corum.

[00:06:04]Madame President Madame President once there is a quorum call. You have to call the role.

[00:06:15]There was a motion to dispense whatever that is not situation. Madam President and willingly walk out Madame President as reiterated by the Senate President and as conveyed by the minority leader, former Senate President, the rule states that the motion to adjurnn takes precedence. I'm not taking sides >> 5:00 p.m. Monday. We will adjourn session >> until 5 >> until 5:00 p.m.

[00:06:47]>> on Monday, >> June 1st, 2026.

[00:06:51]>> June 2nd.

[00:06:52]>> First, June 1.

[00:06:53]>> June 1.

[00:06:54]>> The birthday of Senator Lakon. So, we will have cooler heads.

[00:07:09]8:00 p.m.

[00:07:33]Let's take Yes.

[00:08:17]I just focusing between General What should be I try to find my discussion. by actually on the validity and supremacy of the insertion provision.
