RESBAK ni Lacson kay Marcoleta! 

Silence is the best response to nonense. I’m constrain to take the floor to set the record straight and correct the prevaricationsed on this very floor by one of our colleagues namely Senator Rodante Marcoleta. While in his two recent privilege speeches, he mostly referred to this representation as the BRC chairman.

 in my manifestation today I will to him by name on many occasions I could have dismissed Marcol statements as I refuse to dignify his ego driven provocations but when the attacks shift from professional to obsessively personal I must shut the whole political circus firmly, completely and without ambiguity. Dahil gusto din lamang ni Senator Marcoleta na lagi siyang bida bilang dating chairman man ng BRC o sa usaping West Philippines Sea o anumang issue involving China o kaya ay sa usaping restitution na mag-asawang diskaya. Siya

na nga ang tunay na bida sa aking magiging pahayag sa mga sandaling ito ngayong hapon. Memory is short Mr. President with that said and with your indulgence let me refresh our memory on the historical background of the animies or shall I say why the gentleman from Tarlac and Pampanga Senator Rodante Marcoleta has become so obsessed with tagging and badmouthing this representation as he has become obsessed with defending China in many fora like in the confirmation hearing of 35 senior officers of the armed forces of the Philippines but

especially when he interpellated our distinguished colleague from the majority black Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan when he sponsored and defended Senate resolution number 37 last February 2. So obsessed that he had to resort to rigorous talking of all my interviews and social media updates. Knit picking from every statement I uttered and tricking this August chamber to cry foul armed with nothing but is draining litany.

Since Senator Marcola apparently knows every word I say in my media interviews and every move I make in this chamber, napilitan akong balikan ang napakaraming pagkakataon na ako ay naging paksa ng kanyang mga personal na atake. Perhaps Mr. President, it started when this representation inquired about Senator Marcoleta’s hilao interpretation of Senate rules relative to his motion to dismiss in the impeachment case against Vice President Sarah Duterte last year.

Thus, on August 6th, 2025 I manifested my inquiry Senator Marcoleta’s arguments calling for the dismissal of the impeachment case against Vice President Sarah Duterte. using 135 theate rules i highlighted that in our rules can we find a provision on a motion to dismiss nor is there a supplitory application of the rules of court and other references like the ridic manual etc to accommodate such emotion i merely raised a parliamentary inquiry into how we can deal with said with the saidm to an impeachment case given that we

were then constituted as a legislative body in session and not as an impeachment court. I was supposed to be it was supposed to be a simple parliamentary inquiry from what I considered then and I quote medyo hilaw na interpretation ng ating honorable Marcoleta unquote ewan ko Mr. President simula ng naso plako si Senator Marcoleta sa floor ay tila nagtanim na siya ng puot sa kanyang dibdib.

On August 20, 2025 I delivered my first privilege speech entitled plooded gates of corruption to bring to the attention of the Senate and the Filipino People the syndicated corruption in the implementation of blood control projects. Pinaghirapan ko at ng aking team na buuin ang aming mga findings upang maisapubliko ang mga anomalya sa flood control na makakatulong sana sa sinasagawang inquiry in aid of legislation ng Blue Ribon Committee na noon ay kanya pang pinamumunuan.

Ang hindi ko inaasahan, minasama pa ito ni Senator Marcoleta sa pamamagitan ng kanyang TV program noong August 29, 2025. Panoorin po natin ang mga portions ng video. Ayon, isang major committee yung Blue Ribbon. Bawal na yung ah gagawa ka pa ng sarili mong pagpapahayag. Lalong-lalo na kung dun sa pagpapahayag mo parang uulitin mo yung mga bagay na dapat sana doun na ihayag doun sa naunang pagtala para may sarili kang expose may sarili kang isang major hindi dapat ginawa pa yon kumbaga kalabisan na yon sa tunturin

kasi bawal na yon lalo na kung doon sa pagpapahayag mo ay parang uulitin mo yung mga bagay na dapat sana ay doon naihayag sa naunang pagtalakay hindi Dapat ginawa pa ‘yun kumbaga kalabisan na yon. Sa tuntunin kasi bawal na yon. Yan ang sinasabi ng isang taong nakasalamin sa hating gabi na iyon na yung nag-epal siguro yun ang pasikat ‘ ba.

 Yan ang sinabi niya. Mr. President, Mr. President tulad ng kanyang motion to dismiss, nag-imbento na naman ng hilaw na rule si Senator Marcoleta. Kahit pagbalibaligtarin natin ang rules of the Senate, walang nagbabawal sa kahit sinong senador na magpahayag sa pamamagitan ng privilege speech kahit tinatalakay na sa komite ang paksa tulad ng blood control.

May natapakan po ba akong ego sa aking privilege spe na naglahad sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon ng mga konkretong ghost at substandard blood control projects? May nasagasahan po ba akong pride sa pagpapangalan sa mga sangkot sa anomalya na sina Brce Hernandez, Henry Alcantara at iba pang personalidad sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon? If yes, I refuse to apologize and feed on Senator Marcoleta’s ego and pride.

 On September 9 last year, after the leadership change and subsequent reorganization of Senate committees, including the Blue Ribbon Committee with me as its chairman hindi na lalo naka-move on si Senator Marculeta. I was met with a barage of criticisms by the former chairman Senator Marcola. Much of it characterized by a profound lack of respect for both thisesentation and the blue rebon committee during the 23 public hearing of the blue ribbon committeeator mareta disrupted the proceedings he raised what he called a prejudicial

question on my impartiality as the chairman following a media interviewly answered a question about among the source persons in my opinion between his favorite couple and brand of the fame BGC boys appeared more credible siguro nakalimutan na ni Senator Marcoleta ang cases assigned for reading nung nasa law school pa siya the Supreme Court indicates of Berbar versus Honorable Pedro Conception J number 16189 February 26, 1920 court explained and prejudicial question is underst in law to that which must preceed the

criminal action that which requires a decision before a final judgement is rendered in the principal action with which said question is closely connected not all previous questions are prejudicial although all prejudicial questions are necessarily previous hindi ko na nga siya pinatulan sa issue na iyon para Hindi ma-disrupt ang pagdinig kahit mali-mali dahil sa pagsasaalang-alang sa kanya bilang isang abogado na dapat ay alam niyang applicable lamang ang prejudicial question sa mga criminal cases.

 Well, dapat he exposed his ignorance as a member of the bar particularly on the revised rules on criminal procedure even as he invokeed the issue of impartiality at the top of his voice and out of order and the quorum. continuously interrupting the chairman and everybody else while shamelessly appearing to act as council for theaya couple without even disclosing before the committee members that one of his family members was an independent director of insurance companies that provided bonds for contractors owned by the 207 billion

flood control contractors and sarcaya being lawyer. Mr. President, I hate lecturing a lawyer no matter how low he ranks among his fellow members of the bar, if I may borrow the words of former senior Associate Justice Supreme uh Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio. Since is also as lawmakers we may as well be educated in this regard.

 So let me state for the record the following under rule 111 prosecution of civil action section 7 of the revised rules on criminal procedure the elements of a prejudicial question are question are a the previously instituted civil action involved an issue similar intimately related to the issue raised in the subsequent criminal action and b the resolution of such issue determines whether or not the criminal action may proceed.

 Kung may napansin ang mga manonood, ito ang naging asal ni Senator Marcoleta which begged the question, why is Senator Marcoleta so protective of the diskas? This inquiry remains valid and grounded and I can show you from the many occasions he stood for in support of the disgayas. >> I am raising prejudicial question.

What’s your ang nangyayari nito? So mas mas credible si Price Kaya. Bakit ganon? Why are so disaya? Why are you so protected? Nagmamadali daw po ako na mabigyan sila ng witness protection program. Yun po yung sinasabi ng batas eh. Pag hiningi nila with their consent sapagkat nanganganib ang buhay niya, hindi ka magmamadali.

 Ilalagay ko po ba sa kamay ko ang kaligtasan ng mag-asawa na yon? Eh kinakailangang magsol nakulimbat nila which to my mind is not correct. Papaano mo sasabihin na magre-restitute ang isang tao? Mayro’n na bang findings kung magkano ire-restitute on how it can be restituted? Nag-a-apply pa lang eh. What is the reason behind the law? So that the we can get justice and justice can only be attained if there is restitution.

 So that is the principle guide all of these things that we are talking about. Now >> Mr. Secretary restitution will come after. It cannot be it can >> sir. It can come before or after sir it can come before or after. laung to my mind were the first to apply under the witness protection program. Ang problema po doon kung wala namang ano eh korte pa pong nagsasabi kung talagang sila nagnakaw o nakapagnakaw sino pong magkukwenta non? Problem is ang sabi ng dating DOJ secretary ba hindi kinakailangan i isoli muna yung mga pinagnanakaw. Papaano ngayon siya

m-process if that was dangled? So ang tinatanong ko nga sa inyo hindi siya sinungaling. Kayo ang nagbigay na ng kondisyon kasi did you agree that you restitute any money to the wala po maibibigay po at saka o yun na nga because wala kang maibigay hindi ka niya ipo-process under the witness protection program.

 Is that not correct? So pinipili niyo yung gusto niyong i-process ngayon kung ayaw ninyong ayaw ninyong ah bigyan sila ng proteksyon under that law kaya siguro umayaw na sila sa ICI. Mr. President it is also coincidental that multiple news outlets revealed a dumming link between Senator Marcoleta and theayas.

 In one new’s story, a relative of Senator Marcoleta was said to hold a directorship at Stronghold Incorporated and Milestone Guarantee insurance companies that provided bonds for contractors owned by the flood control king and queen Kley and Sarah Descaya at the center of a multibillion flood control corruption scandal praising conflict of interest questions in a high profile Senate Hindi pa po dito nagtatapos ang pagbibida ni Senator Marcoleta.

 Noong September 25, 2025, nagpresenta si Senator Marcoleta ng surprise witness sa katauhan ni Mr. Orle Cutesa. As chairman, I didn’t trace any objection to members like him introducing surprise witnesses during the proceedings at that time as long as it can help in the in the inthing the truth behind the flood control mess including and most importantly exposing the masterminds if evidence warrants.

 Gayon paan, hindi pa man tapos ang araw, pumalag na sa media ang sinasabing nakapirma sa notary public na si Attorney Peche Espera na kalaunan ay naging kasalanan ko pa din sa paningin ni Senator Marcoleta. Hindi po ito ang Hindi po ang senado ang nagiimbisiga at nagbigay ng hatol na forge ang notar ni Gotesa. Mismong ang branch 18 ng Regional Trial Court ng Manila ang nag-imbestiga.

 Independent yon sa senado. Sa halip na tanggapin, galit pa sa resulta ng kaso dahil hindi naaayon sa gusto niyang kalalabasan ng imbestigasyon asalbida talaga. Ang matindi pa, nanakot pa na magsasampa ng kaso laban sa judge at abogado. Again, style bida. Pavictim effect po masyado na parang bida sa pelikula. Mr. President, ang kwento pa, ako daw ang nagpapahiwatig na tinuturuan o kino-coach niya si Gotesa sa bahaging ito ng pagdinig. Mr.

 President eh sa obserbasyon napakaraming nanonood tila baga tinuturuan niya kung anong pahina. Page 20 nga daw ang basahin. Sa kamalasan niya, nagkataon na putol pala ang kopya ngidbit ni Gutesa. Kung todo, tinayuan pa niya para ibigay ang kanyang kopya na parang bida sa eksena. Nakalimutan yata ni Senator Marcoleta na naka-live TV coverage ang pagdinig kaya walang pakundangan at walang kahihian sa inasal niya.

 Kaya nga kitang-kita pati si Henry Alcantara tawang-tawa. Nakalimot din sandali na hindi pa siya stay witness nung nag-teetfy si Gotesa. Let us watch the actual video dahil baka sabihin na naman niya nag-splice kami ng video. Let’s watch. nasabing basura ito >> merong napuputol sa binabasa mo eh huwag kang magmadali huwag kang magmadali naputol na ulitin mo yung paragraph 20 wala na akong hindi ko makita na putol na I strongly deny that made mention of him coaching Gutesa. Mr.

 President, uulitin ko, sakaling hindi pa rin talaga ma-gets, tinanggap pa rin ng commite ang sinumpang salaysay ni Gutesa bilang valid at bahagi ng record dahil sa katotohanang siya ay personal na humarap. at nagpatunay under oath ng nilalaman ng kaniyangit. Ang masama, Mr. President, tinanggap naman natin sa record ang testimonya ni Mr. Gotesa.

 Hindi pa rin tumitigil sa kakareklamo si Senator Marcoleta. Mr. President, ang tunay na issue hindi ang forge naavit kundi ang biglaang pagtatago at pagkawala ni Gotesa. For the information of this body, Mr. Gotesa, who was presented as a witness by Senator Marcoleta has been unavailable since his initial appearance.

 Moreover, the committee made the option for Senate protection available to him but he declined as evidence by his signed waver. And we are dutiful in locating him. Mr. President, pinuntahanin ang lahat ng addresses para maabot ang imbitasyon ng committee and even rigorously visited our CCTV camera footage. Again, displaying his obsessiveness for the time, Senator Marcoleta even lambasted me by implying that I was surveiling his office.

 Galit na galit. Samantalang nais lamang nating matukoy kung sakaling may kasama si Mr. Dotesa ng dumating sa senado upang sa gayon ay magkaroon tayo ng lead kung paano siya muling maimbitas sa susunod na pagdinig. Hindi ko na nga pinalaki ang aking mga obserbasyon sa paksang ito, Mr. President.

 Sa halip, sinubukan pa rin naming hingin ang kanyang tulong sa paghahanap kay Sergeant Cutesa. Again, Senator Marcoleta in his TV show runted against me. Let’s watch. Tatanungin ko siya. Bakit mo ikinore saakin to? Iniinsulto mo ba ako? Parang insulto naman sa akin yun. Ba’t mo ik-cour sa akin? Sino ka ba? >> I dare ask, Mr.

 President, if a committee member brings a witness bearing such damaging allegations, does the burden of transparency not follow? Is it not just proper to cooperate with the committee regarding his whereabouts? Why then the Senator Marcoleta find my position so offensive? On many occasions, Senator Marcoleta made statements that undermined the authority and collective integrity of the committee.

Mukhang aabutin tayo hanggang bukas kung iisa-isahin ko pa lahat ang katakot-takot na pagalipusta ni Senator Marcoleta sa commite na kinabibilangan din naman niya. He continued the same litany in his speech yesterday. Mr. President, let me count and reb it once and for all. one on the release of the minority report tahasang pinagmamalaki ni Senator Marcoleta ang minority report for the lack of better term he said sa kanyang na kanyang nilabas noong December 10 2025 na siya ring naging paksa ng kanyang litanya kahapon for his

information I wish to underscore a part of section 22 of the Senate rules shown in the on the screen which states that And I quote, “Concurring dissenting reports may likewise be made by the members who do not sign the majority report within 72 hours from the approval of the report.” Napakalinaw naman po, Mr.

 President, concurring and dissenting reports may be made 72 hours after the committee report has been approved by the majority vote of all its members. Siya na nga itong gawa ng gawa na mga bagay na wala naman sa aluntunin ng senado. Pagkatapos ako ang pagbibintangan niya na epal. He even had the audacity to declare and I spe a submission anchored on the same hearings three of which he actually presided the same resource persons and the sameavits.

 Masasabi ba niyang pambasura lang din ang lahat ng iyon? At this point Senator Marcoleta must know that rhetorical polacies do not amuse me, Mr. President, if the release of the so-called minority report and its contents did not amount to a direct up front to the chairman and to the committee as a collegial body, then I’m not sure what is.

 May I also emphasize, Mr. President that this same reportently stated that and I quote the BRC Blue Ribbon committee cannot should no longer compete with the national prosecution services and eventually the judiciary in finally disposing of these cases unquote clearly implying that the committee must conclude its proceedings president sino ba siya para pangunahan ang chairman at ang mayor na miembro ng committee wala sa lugar wala sa hulog sa ganang akin lang din naman kagulat-gulat po ba ang naging reaksyon ng representasyon na ito na

walang lugar ang ulat na yan kundi sa basurahan kayo na ang humusga Mr. President number two, let us go to the BRC Draft Partial Committee Report na pinamahagi ng komite noon pang is ng Pebrero nitong taon na sa mismong araw na ito ay isang buwan na ang nakakalipas na syempre ay laman din ng onlyly reklamo ni Senator Marceta ang natanggap ng kanyang opisina ay isang PDF F or document watermark ng bawat opisina na nakatanggap nito na wala man lang daw pirma ng chairman ng commite.

 Natural walang pirma dahil advance copies lang naman ang pinadala namin sa opisina ng lahat ng members. Common sense naman po, Mr. President, na binigyan ng soft copy ang bawat miyembro upang madaling mabasa at mapag-aralan ng lahat ang lahat ng nilalaman nito simultaneously. Properly inform naman po ang mga staff ng mga senador na available mula sa aming opisina ang pisikal na kopya na lagpas 400 pages ng committee report upang mapirmahan sa hudyat ng mga ginagalang na miembro ng committee ang ating inisyatibo upang pabilisin ang tamang proseso ay

talagang masama pa rin sa paningin ni Senator Marcoleta Tulad ng ginagawa din naman ng ibang miembro ng committee, panay din ang follow up namin sa kanyang opisina na kung nais na ba niyang pumirma sa printed copy ng report kahit ay descent remark ay wala siyang ginawa, bakit ngayon ay maghahanap siya ng Blue Ribond Committee Report na nakatengga sa kanyang opisina nung isang buwan pa? Incidentally, as of yesterday, only Senator Bamaquino affed his signature on the partial committee report it goes without saying

that i each and every member’s decision when they will sign the report if at all what i despise is senator maroleta’s audacity to lie about his inability to sign the same by citing an untruthful reason for not signing president number thre pinipilit niya rin na ilabas ko ang listahan ng 67 contractor He said in his speech and I quote in his press release dated August 10, 2025 posted on the Senate website the BRC chairman disclosed that house members called him and that he had a list of 67 congressmen who are

contractors yet he did not summon them to any BRC hearing. Why did he not name them to be fair to the rest of the members of the House of Representatives? Ito po ang tunay na splice, Mr. President, kung babasahin lang po ni Ginoong Marcoleta ang susunod na sentence, malinaw na malinaw po and I’d like to parapraise, Laxon clarified that he merely asked a congressman friend from the lower house and that again I qu I chuckled and said I don’t have a list.

 Uulitin ko po noon at hanggang ngayon kahit ipagpilitan at i-splice ng kung sino wala akong listahan at wala akong sinasabing may hawak akong listahan na mga tinuguruang contractors. Wala akong pangalan. Alam mo yung 67 na contractors na naging congressmen or yung congressmen contractors? Nakuha ko yan sa isang member ng house. Mhm.

 noong kasisimula pa lamang ng 19th Congress 2022. Number four. Madin din po ang pagquest ni Senator Marcoleta sa interparliamentary courtesy. He said and I quote, “This doctrine is a president which is not even part of our rules is not absolute and then he added if anything those who occupy the highest offices in the government must be the first to answer not the last to be asked and quote.

” Senator Marcola even mentioned again and I quote the members of Congress have no immunity from investigation supina or public scrutiny and Mr. President hypothetically if the House of Representatives initiates an investigation on Senator Marcoleta’s statements of contributions and expenditures or sose over an alleged discrepancy, would the honorable senator stand by his position to disregard interparliamentary courtesy? If his former colleagues were to issue a supina, a sho or even a warrant of pares, would he still argue about the

relevance of interparliamentary? Cortesy. Ito po ang tunay na hypothetical question. Mr. President, less we forget dalawang taon pa lamang ang nakakalipas. Siya mismo ang nagsisisigaw sa House of Representatives at nag-motion na i-terminate ang budget deliberations para bigyan ng parliamentary courtesy ang office of the vice president.

 in his words president parliamentary procedures madam chair grow from or are enrich by traditions experiences and precedent you may not like the person you may not like presence here but you have to respect the office of the vice president that is all because that is guided by the tradition kahapon po kagaya po ng sinabi nila Wala ng pinagtanong sa office of the president and that is correct that is in line with that tradition such hypocrisy such double standard such a farse that does not dignify an answer Mr. President incidentally since I

mentioned the SOS case with the Comelec in violation of the Omnibus election code kung ninanais ko lamang na ipahamak siya ay naghain na sana po ako ng Senate Resolution calling for an inquiry in aid of legislation para ipatawag ang mga Comic officials upang ipaliwanag bakit masyadong delayed ang usaping ito.

 When the issue of Senator Marcoleta’s failure to disclose his campaign contributors in his sources surfaced, our dear colleague tried to clarify the matter. In fact, during his own show sa ganang mamamayan dated November 8, 2025, he made the following disclosure. Please watch. Nelson, alam moung mga kaibigan ko nagbigay sa akin talaga. Mhm.

 Alam mo pakiusap lang nila isa lang. Oho. Oho. >> Tanggapin mo ang tulong namin sayo. Okay. >> Congressman ako non eh, Cong, kami po ay naniniwala na nakarapatdapat kang makarating sa senado. Mm. Tanggapin mo ang halagang to. Marami sila. Mm. Isa lang ang kanilang pakiusap sain. Sino po yon? Eh sana hwag muna kaming i-disclose ang identity.

 Ngayon kapagka naglagay ako ng figure sa contribution, mapipilitan akong mag-disclose ng pangalan nila. Alam mo kung bakit? Mm. Merong merong kaakibat na kung tawagin ay dided of acceptance of donation. Papaano yun kao? >> Mm. >> Eh contribution to eh. >> Oo. >> Hindi. Sabi niya binigay ko nga sao contribution pero utang na loob mo sa akin yan. Mm.

 Ituring mo na lang na utang sabi niya ‘di ba? Loan. But when he was issued a shoed to backtrack on his arguments by saying that he received those contributions when he was not yet a candidate as defined by the decision of the Supreme Court. I guess Senator Marcoleta and his legal team thought they were being smart by being technical about when these contributions were made.

 Pero nakakatawa, Mr. President ay wala ng mas lilinaw pa sa sariling pag-amin ni Senator Marceta. Tumanggap siya ng pera para magkaroon siya ng utang na loob sa mga taong iyon. Isang maliwanag na admission against interest. Ang sabi nga ng mga abogado. Bilang isang abogado, dapat alam ni Senator Marcoleta na dahil dito ay shoot siya sa balde sa kasong indirect bribery under article 211 ng Revise Penal Code dahil member siya ng House of Representatives ng panahon na iyon.

Maliwanag sa batas na krimen sa mga public officials na tumanggap ng pera o gift by reason of their office kahit walang pangako na particular act or omission sa nagbigay ng pera. Bakit nga ba hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin nilalabas ng COMELECEC ang resolution ng Susi case ni Senator Marcoleta? Number four, as for Mr.

 Saldico, let me state this plainly. Dalawang beses nating siyang naimbitahan para personal na humarap at personal na mag-testify sa commite. He needs to appear and substantiate the statements he posted on his Facebook account. Twice he refused citing medical and security reasons dahil sa bigat at seryosong alegasyon kanyang binitiwan, hindi maaaring pahintulutan ng commiteng ito na manatiling nakabitin ang mga akusasyon na hindi siya humaharap at nanunumpa sa harap ng kapulungang ito.

 Sa katunayan, ako pa mismo ang nagmungkahi sa ating chat group. Napayagan siyang magtestigo sa Philippine mula sa Philippine Embassy kung saan man siya naroroon. Gayon pa man, pinarating ni Senator Ronald Bato de la Ra mismo ang kanyang apprehensyon sa sugestyong ito sa pamamagitan ng kanyang text message.

 Nais ko ring bigyang diin Ginoong Pangulo na ang diskusyong iyon ay nangyari bago pa man ilabas sa social media ni Saldico ang kanyang mga alegasyon. Panghuli tung issue ng apostle ang isang apostiled ay hindi kailan man maar maing maging alternatibo sa personal appearance hindi ito mapapalitan ng direct testimony at lalong hindi ito mapapalitan ang tungkulin ng isang saksi na harapin ang commite.

 Sagutin ang mga katanungan at sumailalim sa masusing pagsusuri. Kung handa si Saldiko na magbitiw ng mga seryosong akusasyon sa publiko, dapat ay handa rin siyang humarap sa atin at panindigan ang mga alegasyong iyon sa ilalim ng sumpa. Ikalima sa kanyang akusasyon sa representasyon ito kaugnay ni Congressman or former speaker Martin Romaldes.

 Kung binasa lamang po ni Senator Marcoleta ang partial committee report, makikita po niya na nakapaloob na doon ang lahat ng nais niyang ipahayag. Kung hindi man higit pa rekomendasyon para sa facting investigation, AMLOC bank inquiry and filing of order petitions are for feature. Kung napakarami pa niyang gustong ipaglaban at paimbestigahan, bakit siya rin ang nagsabi sa kanyang minority report na dapat tapusin ang pagdig.

 Kung saagay kung mayroong isang bagay na consistent Senator Marcoleta, ito ay ang pagiging inconsistent sa kanyang mga pinagsasabi. As to the other witnesses allegedly not invited by the committee, it stressing that the committee has not terminated its hearings. Contrary to the suggestion in the so-called minority report, the intention at this stage is simply to have the partial committee report filed and sponsored in order to reflect the evidence received th far and to allow the committee to consider the next steps

taking into account the views of the members on the other on other areas that may be pursued as the path to forward toward the eventual conclusion of the hearings As to the other matters raised under the rules of the blue ribbon, the chairman serves as the chief executive officer of the committee and as such exercises broad discretion over matters pending before it including the invitation of witnesses.

 Members may suggest witnesses or move for the invitation during a hearing and if such motion is approved by the members of the committee, the same will of course be respected by the chair. Panganim, sa kawalang kamatayang i-give up ang kayig remark na umabot din sa isang full privilege speech upang ipanghandakan na ako ay nasa likod ng pagi-splice ng kanyang video upang siya ay siraan.

his statement and I quote verbrent angin po para madali i-give up natin ang kig then mako-coordinate na natin lahat unquote is not merely suggestive m president ito ay kasingtab ng bumbunan na nasinagan ng tirik na araw sa tanghaling tapat sapat na ang kanyang hindi matapos-tapos na paliwanag na keso hypothetical daw kes joke lang daw ayon sa kanyang mga pahayag at kalaunan at gusto pa niya amyendahan o i-correct ang journal ng Committee on National Defense of the Commission and Appointments.

Mag-ingat po tayo rito, Mr. President sa kanyang gustong mangyari. Your honor being the chairman of the commission on appointments and some of us here as members we must study diligently the legal implications of Senator Marcoleta’s motion now pending before the commission on appointments. Anyway, going back to i-give up natin yyung KIG statement na ini-splice ko daw na marin kong pinabubulaan.

 Ang masasabi ko bilang analogy sa kanyang sitwasyon ay ganito. When one looks the same as when he does before going to bed at night, how can there be spicing? In president when looks different going to work during daytime from before going to bed at night that’s when spicing becomes evident. Matanong ko lang po, sino ngayon ang magaling mag-splice, Mr.

 President, hindi ko kasalanan ng mga salitang nagmula sa sarili niyang bibig. May tawag nga dito ang mga Jenzy, classic case of gas lighting. Number 7, isang sang katutak na ang mga pahayag ni Senator Marcoleta na napakalinaw na hindi pumapabor sa ating pambansang interesang katutak na rin ang mga nagbigay ng kanilang mga negatibong reaksyon.

Ngunit sa hulit huli ako pa rin ang sinisisi ni Senator Marcoleta. He even went far beyond by debanking and undermining the historical facts about Thomas Cloma. Senator Marcoleta said I was all wrong when I said that this was discovered and consquently occupied and owned by lawer and businessman Thomas Gloma citing the principle of Terra Nulius or Nulius.

 It was for him a historical distortion. Curelessly Mr. President narratives align with those of the Chinese narratives plly from the People’s Republic of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Official Website. Mr. President, let’s show the slides. Ayan po. Kitang-kita natin kung anong sinabi ng website ng Ministry of Foreign Affairs ng People’s Republic of China.

Iyan din ang kanyang sinasabi. >> Now, Senator Marcoleta speaks of a pattern that he himself built in his head to discredit this representation. But if we backtrack the events that transpired in the past several months, one thing is crystal clear. When cornered by default of his own doing he employs a diversionary maneuver pathetically stretching the conversation no matter how illogical until people get drained and tired just as a squid squirts ink to darken the water and blind everyone around while it swims

away a person may throw out irrelevant issues, fake scandals or emotional outbursts. from the actualid point of investigation after all is said and done I am tempt to ask these question president on the west philippine sea which side of the south china sea is senator mareta old on the anomalous grapen flood control projects is senator mareta for theayas or the people of theppines I think we know the answers Mr.

President.
