The Du-Dirty 13, that Senate Majority trying to make the institution into a protecting ring for their accused, charged, and fugitive members, really is the gift that keeps on giving. As troubling as the proposal to allow electronic voting was the attempt to rewrite quietly, hoping they slip through without the public fully seeing what is happening. And, sometimes, as the Minority did, the most important vote is to walk away. To refuse to legitimize a process that undermines the institutional integrity of Senate. Should Senate rules evolve for institutional necessity or... political convenience? Kasalanan ba ng Minority na maraming may kaso at maaaring ma-aresto sa mga susunod na araw sa Majority? The Minority walkout is a reminder that democracies need opposition willing to make power uncomfortable, especially those who abuse it. Salamat, mabuhay sa Principled 11!

Sabi ni Senador Erwin Tulfo, binobola na lang sila sa planong amyenda sa rules ng senado. | via
