00:00Sa iba pang balita, habang abala sa pagdinig sa issue ng flood control projects,
00:04pinalitan ni Sen. Tito Soto III, si Sen. Chief Escudero bilang Senate President.
00:09Nagpapalik si Daniel Manalastas.
00:14Move to declare the position of the Senate President as vacant, Mr. President.
00:18Is there any objection? Hearing none, the motion is approved.
00:24Wala nang nakapigil sa mosyon ni Sen. Juan Miguel Subiri para mapalitaan si Sen. Francis Escudero bilang Senate President.
00:33Si Escudero pa ang namuno kahapon sa pagbubukas ng sesyon.
00:37Pero nagtuloy-tuloy ang palitan at nagbalik si Sen. Tito Soto bilang Senate President sa ilalim ng 20th Congress.
00:54Legal orders, help me God. So help me God.
00:57Most importantly, he was a traditionalist in the very best sense of the word,
01:03consistently upholding the rules and traditions that protected the integrity of the Senate as the nation's last bastion of democracy.
01:11With Sen. Soto as Senate President, the Senate is in good hands.
01:15Kay Escudero pa, nanumpa si Soto. Nagyakapan pa ang dalawa matapos ang pagsasalin ng liderato ng Senado.
01:22Sa problema sa korupsyon, sumentro ang talumpati ni Soto.
01:27Corruption is now perceived by our people to be in the whole of government.
01:32But with the political will of those in position and together with the vigilance and clamor from the public,
01:41we can fight this and bring transparency and true accountability that our nation deserves.
01:48I am your listener, your advisor if you so desire, your enabler for anything within my power to do so.
01:58I am primus inter pares or first among equals.
02:05Si Escudero naman, binalikan ang tagumpay sa kanyang pamumuno.
02:09Sinabi rin niya na wala siyang sama ng loob sa pagkakapalit sa kanya.
02:13I hold no grudges. I hold no ill feelings. I am proud of what the Senate has accomplished together.
02:19And I trust that the spirit of transparency and courage that have been displayed by this chamber will be sustained.
02:26Tinimbang naman ang ilang senador ang posibleng dahilan ng balasahan ng liderato.
02:31Siguro yung nasobrahan na yung siraan ng boathouses eh. It has affected the institutions already.
02:39Ako naman, I think yung mga issues kay Senchis, kay Senjowel, that's part of the demolition job.
02:47But it's already affecting the Senate and we have to save the institutions.
02:50I'm surprised.
02:52Sir, bakit happens? Wala tayo magagawa. They have the numbers.
02:55Kakapikot naman lahat. Hindi lang naman si SPC's.
02:57Wala naman ang kaaway dito. Wala naman permanente sa posisyon, diba?
03:03Pagka dinosan ng mayorya.
03:06Yung issue pa ng hado na walang issue?
03:08Wala. Walang ganaw. Basta nagkaroon na ng sense of leadership.
03:13Si Sen. Pan Filo Lacso naman ang pumalit kay Sen. Gingoy Estrada bilang Senet President pro tempore,
03:19habang si Sen. Migs Ubiri ang pumalit kay Sen. Joel Villeneva bilang Senet Majority Leader.
03:25Kinumpirma naman ni Soto na sila aksundin ang papalit kay Sen. Rodante Marcoleta bilang chairman ng Senet Blue Ribbon Committee
03:34na abalan nag-iimbestiga sa anomalya sa flood control projects.
03:39Sabi ni Soto, hindi miyembro ng Majority Block si Marcoleta at ang Blue Ribbon ay nakareserba para sa miyembro ng mayorya.
03:47Nang tanongin naman kung gagalawin din ba ang hawak ng mga kumite ng tinaguriang Duterte Block,
03:54sabi ni Soto, pagpapasyahan daw ito ng bagong mayorya.
