MAJORITY BOYCOTTS PLENARY SESSIONS - CAYETANO
JUST IN: Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano announced on a Facebook live stream that the majority bloc will not be attending the plenary sessions as retaliation for the minority bloc's walk out on a vote pushing for online participation in the Senate on May 26.
Cayetano also alleged that the minority senators are trying to overturn the leadership in the chamber to vacate the Blue Ribbon to stop the planned hearing on Thursday.
"Ginamit nila yung parliamentary tool na walk out para hindi matuloy ang pag-change ng rules. So ngayon po, ang majority ginagamit rin po yung rules sa tama, morally and legally, to ensure na hindi agawin ang mga committees para po matuloy ang hearing ng Blue Ribbon sa Thursday at ang iba’t iba pang mga importanteng hearing sa bawat committee," he said. | 📸: Cayetano/Facebook
