00:00 We will now call on the leader of the Senate, our fellow Senator Ronald Batu De La Rosa. Senator good morning.
00:07 Good morning. Good morning Egan and to all our listeners. Good morning.
00:11 How are you? It seems that former Senate President Mig Subiri is a traitor because you cried, he fooled you,
00:23 then he found out that you signed a resolution ousting him, Senator.
00:28 Well Egan, I just want to tell you that he fooled me. I just want to convey his message that boss, I failed to win the war for you.
00:43 That's why I'm feeling bad. He knows that I fought tooth and nail until the end that he cannot be ousted as the Senate president.
00:51 My signing, Egan, the battle has been won by GC Scudero already. They have 14 votes and they just came from Senator Mig's office
01:06 to inform him that they have the votes, the 14 votes. Senator Mig agreed to leave the prestige.
01:17 After they talked, he went down to Senator Tolentino's office. I was there in Senator Tolentino's office to meet with Senator Bungo
01:28 to discuss with them if it's okay for me to be a minority. We will discuss majority rules. If two versus one, two against one,
01:42 one is obligated to join two. They decided to join GC Scudero. I discussed with them if it's okay for them to join.
01:57 I'm feeling bad. But Chis and Alan Caetano joined in Senator Tolentino's office. I talked to them and I told them,
02:11 we already won the war. It's over. We don't need your signature anymore. You're here. Why are you... we already won.
02:27 But I heard that you're planning to join the minority. Chis told me not to join the minority. Please stay with the majority.
02:39 You can nominate them in victory. I'm talking about even if my term is immaterial, I still want to stay with the majority.
02:54 I don't want to be separated from the majority. Senator Tolentino is there. We will discuss majority rules in the Philippines.
03:03 They're already there, Senator Bong Go. I said, with a heavy heart, I will join you. I signed the resolution.
03:13 Resolution. Senator...
03:15 Immaterial is already a winner.
03:17 Will your committee chairmanship be maintained because of that?
03:20 Senator Chis told me, whether or not you will join us in the majority because you have shown good handling of your committee,
03:35 you have to retain your committee. We need you in that committee. That's what he told me, whether or not I will join.
03:42 Senator, does your emotion add to one of the reasons Senator Zubiri was removed, your PDALX hearing?
03:52 Well, let's assume that he's already with us. But it was properly explained to me by Senator Chis that that's not the reason.
04:03 If that's the reason for the investigation of PDALX, he said why would we still elect you as a majority.
04:10 We should have removed you. Whether you will join us or not, we should have removed you as chairman of the public order if that's the reason.
04:19 I just would like to share with you, this is relevant information to clear things up.
04:28 Before this takeover of Chis, there was no PDALX investigation. That was during the time of Senator Gingoy and Senator Micks.
04:45 But we were successful in sending off that senator. We worked together and we didn't win. They couldn't take over.
04:55 Now, another effort was rekindled, particularly to the group of artists. I am not trying to fend off the accusations against me.
05:19 If that's what they think, that PDALX is a Soviet... I just want to share with you the information that this is triggering Senator Micks' departure.
05:32 When the artists were angry with Senator Bong Rebilla, they asked Senator Tolentino and Senator Chis to allow Senator Bong to join the session online.
05:50 Online.
05:51 He was cut off from his major...
05:54 He has an operation.
05:56 He has an operation. One time when he attended, his condition became worse. His leg was really injured.
06:05 So Senator Tolentino and Senator Chis talked about allowing Senator Bong Rebilla.
06:12 But Senator Micks declined.
06:19 That's when the artists were triggered. Ruben Padilla and Gingoy joined the group. That's when the...
06:30 The vote was triggered.
06:31 That's when it started. But I have no bad feelings towards Senator Micks. I love him dearly.
06:39 Did you talk to Senator Micks after that incident?
06:45 Yes. We talked yesterday. I understand that he's still in a bad mood. I just accepted his harsh words. I just admitted it. I just accepted it because he's still in a bad mood. I understand.
07:04 There's another video that's spreading that went viral in the Senate. Did you watch this? It became a reason to remove Senator Micks.
07:13 If that's the reason why other people used him, why did he transfer to Senator Chis, I have my reason.
07:22 In fact, up to the last minute, I'm not loyal to him. I didn't transfer. That's when I signed that we lost.
07:32 We lost and I was offered a peaceful surrender. That was a pure act of surrender to the winner in the battle.
07:40 To the majority.
07:41 That's the reason. I don't buy that reason. If that's the reason for others, I don't have a reason.
07:54 Senator good luck for the new leadership of the Senate. Take care.
07:59 Thank you. Thank you Igan. Good morning.
08:03 Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa.
