By MANILA, Philippines – Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson clarified on Sunday that there was nothing wrong with debating proposed amendments to the Senate rules, but it was wrong to bypass due process.
This was in response to Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, who, in a Facebook live stream, asked if there was anything wrong with “talking about changing the rules.”
“Nothing is wrong about debating on any motion, resolution or measure. What is wrong is ignoring our own rules and parliamentary procedures by stopping the debates to railroad the adoption of a motion already referred to the Committee on Rules,” Lacson said in a social media post.
