@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: The legality of what happened yesterday at the Celebrity Sports Plaza stems from the majority.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: President will never interfere with activities of an independent House.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: We believe yesterday was the window given us by the President to settle speakership row.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: Honestly, there was no need for a special session. We are not adjourned, we were just suspended. Special sessions are only needed if you need to pass legislation while Congress is adjourned.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: There was no need for a special session; President was just sending us a signal to get back to work.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: Let's get speakership issues out of the way and just work.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: Let's hold session today under who majority of the congressmen feel is the speaker.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: The problem with us is not the lack of names but that there are too many names.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: It's not a "paper war." The are 299 congressmen. You need a majority--151. In spite of #COVID19, 120 people were there yesterday to show their support for Velasco.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: The legislative process you will see will prove that Velasco has the support of congressmen.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: Action of the plenary reinforces our decision that it's already Speaker Velasco.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc on Cayetano: The emperor has no clothes. He can claim to be the Speaker but people already know, sir hindi na po kayo eh.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart @iamkarendavila: What if he (Cayetano) doesn't yield?
Bondoc: We will work, we will work hard to pass the budget and pass legislation. It would be ridiculous if he won't join us. Let's work.
Bondoc: We will work, we will work hard to pass the budget and pass legislation. It would be ridiculous if he won't join us. Let's work.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: It's a bad breakup. But let's all be adults here.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: Let Duterte recognize us by our output, by our work.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart @iamkarendavila: Who will be the majority leader? Is it still Martin Romualdez?
Bondoc: We hope he joins us.
Bondoc: We hope he joins us.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: It will be business as usual today.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: Mikee Arroyo gave me his e-signature yesterday.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart @iamkarendavila: Is it true that Marilou Arroyo has also given her signature?
Bondoc: Yes it's true.
Bondoc: Yes it's true.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: I don't see why Eric Go Yap, LRay Villafuerte can't keep their posts.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc: We're not here to punish people. Let's pass the budget, let's get to work, let's get it done.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart @iamkarendavila: Who did Paolo Duterte vote for?
Bondoc: Let me check that. I think he is very careful, he knows both camps are allies of his father. He's a stabilizing force in the House.
Bondoc: Let me check that. I think he is very careful, he knows both camps are allies of his father. He's a stabilizing force in the House.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Bondoc to Cayetano: I hold you in the highest regard. You have done much for the country, you have held many positions, you will hold many higher positions. Let us have our chance.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Villafuerte: No truth to rumors that Cayetano will deliver a speech at 10am today to yield speakership to Velasco.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Villafuerte: Again, my challenge to the Velasco camp is, show me the 186. A lot of those who voted for Velasco only voted via Zoom. They didn't get called one by one to explain their vote.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Villafuerte: Event yesterday at Celebrity Sports Plaza was for show only
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Villafuerte: House of Representatives was not barricaded yesterday.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Villafuerte: Budget first, politics later.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Villafuerte: If Marilou and Mikee Arroyo signed last night, we respect that. But that's as of last night. And as of last night, they still didn't have the majority.
@iamkarendavila #ANCHeadstart Villafuerte: The other camp has numbers but they haven't been showing it.
