Senate belittled...

The real kids are even much better than them because kids feel shame. These kids in the senate don't.

.. exactly. couldn't agree with you more.

the senate should be respected as an institution. <---- go tell this to jinggoy.

In response, he said, the policemen asked Villar and the Senate sergeant-at-arms: “Paano po kung tawagin kami ng Malacanang? Ano'ng sasabihin namin (What happens is Malaca&#241;ang calls us? What should we tell them)?”

I have a feeling that this is a hoax! Why would the police say this statement?!?! Warrant of Arrest supposedly originate not in Malacanang...and I believe, they (police) are pretty aware of the lawmakers' immunity...Jinggoy probably had this "act" all set-up..he coordinated with the Pasay police (??!?!?) and knowing his hatred over the Arroyos esp. Mike.

He said the libel case stemmed from his interpellation during a budget hearing on January 23 in which he called the First Gentleman “the biggest smuggler in this country.”

While recalling the circumstances behind the charges, he again called Arroyo the “bagman” of his wife, the President, and vowed that the charges would not stop him from performing his duty and “continu(ing) with the crusade (against) the Godfather of all Smugglers in the Philippines.”

with this speech...he can get away with it..

“Clearly, they cannot arrest a senator while Congress is in session. Why then did elements of the Pasay City police come here to arrest me? Have they no respect for this venerable chamber and the Constitution?” Estrada asked.

just my theory...

Good thing he is a senator, otherwise there would be no prohibition from his arrest.

Indeed, the warrant of arrest was issued by the Regional Trial Court pursuant to finding of probable cause of the crime charged upon the accused. As per the rules of criminal procedure, a warrant of arrest should be issued within ten days from the time the information is filed before the court. The judge is just following the rules when he issued the warrant of arrest.

Why in the world would then these police officers asked such futile question when the order came from the court and not from Malacanang? They knew very well that the order came from the court.

Power tripping, I guess. Maybe the police officers thought they could arrest a senator as simple as that. They should have known first that the legislators have this immunity from arrest before they went to Senate.

malacanyang, senate, and congress don't feel shame. Kay kng mauwaw pa na sila... hagbay ra onta ko kadungog nga naa ni resign ana nila. Ang kapal muks wala ra sa senate.

[iloveyou4ever]

kahayahay sa tabatsoy nga senador! Dapat na jud ni e abolish ang senate. Mga ukoy kaayo. Abusive na sa power, wala pay mga gamit ug mga over weight pa jud not only their timbang but also their pockets!

gipakita kanina sa file video sa sgt-at-arms sa senate nga ang police jud mismo ang ni sulti "Paano po kung tawagin kami ng Malacanang? Ano'ng sasabihin namin "

hehehe na bali lagi noh c jinggoy na nuon nagpasi-ugda nga dakpon cya hmmmm

[tolstoi]

scripted cguro ni..c daddy Erap ang nag direct..just for show lang

[baron]

Maybe to show that they have "more concerns" than passing the anti- terror bill?

This sounds dramatic.

pwede raman na dakpon si jinggoy... wala mana siya attend2x sa session sa senate pud ... :P

bro, session na pasabot s not mere attendance in senate, regular sessions n d senate may span months, n w/in dat period a senator cannot be arrested. arrests can only be made wen congress adjourns, jst check sum mor info as to when d senate adjourns
