Senate belittled...

[doce_pares]

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!

b4 we open our mouths i hope dat we do understand our political system n d philippines. although d senate has taken more tym doing investigations in aid of legislation, d institution s der to protect n uphold d democracy dat we njoy, pls do read dat a presidential form of govt has an xtensive system of checks and balances such dat no branch of govt: executive, legislative n judiciary can have more power dan d other n thus may be prone to abuse their exercise thereof

d arrest if pursued wud surely be unconsitutional n wud greatly infuse imbalance into how d govt shud share powers among the three branches

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

will we be expecting this police to say this words? "We were ordered by Jinggoy to say those words, to implicate malacañang".

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.

What you said only applies if the accused do not have immunity from arrest. Its a basic principle in our laws that you cannot arrest a Senator while Congress is in session and the charge is for a crime the maximum imposable penalty is six years, which is what in the case of libel.

BTW, session does not mean the day to day adjournment. Session refers to the period from SONA which usually falls in the 3rd Monday of July until June 30 of the following year. Between that period Congress is IN RECESS.
