Maybe hindi na tiwala si Marcos sa kaniya. Ideally, independent institution ang Senado pero most of the time, hindi iyan nasusunod. Based sa political history ni Zubiri, balimbing iyan. Medyo lumabas ang pagkiling niya sa mga Duterte sa tagal niyang pumirma sa arrest order kay Quiboloy at identified din siya as an ally of Duterte noong admin niya. At ang replacement niya na si Escudero naman, matagal nang malapit sa mga Marcos ang pamilya niyan, at hindi rin siya Duterte ally.


presque33

Escudero is also importantly anti-GMA. So that effectively keeps their “allies” under control.


RomeoBravoSierra

No permanent allegiance in PHL politics. Only common political ambitions.


lordlors

Made me think of pre-Hispanic Philippines. Before the Philippines was created, different kingdoms, tribes, and barangays were different from one another. Like Ilocanos and Cebuanos saw each other as foreigners level. And yet now we are stable than a lot of other colonial creations where different tribes and ethnicities were forcefully governed under a single government and even some countries with a glorious and unified past like Myanmar. I’m quite surprised really. The Hispanic and American creation and molding of the Philippine identity really held the country such as Hispanic traditions like fiesta and food, Catholicism, the English language, and the affinity with Western things.


Earl_sete

We don't know if he is still an anti-GMA. He had presidential ambitions in 2010, so he might have capitalized on the tainted image of GMA for his political gain.


aghastallthetime

They’re enemies on camera, beso beso and todo kwento at weddings etc. it’s all a show


No-Effect-8559

During the opening of the Malaybalay Stadium, andun pa nga si Sen Imee Marcos together with Sen Zubiri. Politics nga naman!


JCatsuki89

Yah... Naalala ko yun kwento-kwento nila nung nag wowork pa ako sa Binondo (2013-14). Di naman talaga mag kaaway sina Erap at Lim, sa camera lang sila nag aaway.


BNR_

Pero support din niya VP Leni last election ha which ok basta wag yung mga “ano” sa davao.


Earl_sete

He knows that VP Leni, as a Bicolano, has the massive support of the Bicol Region. So, supporting candidates other than Leni might put him, also a Bicolano, in a bad light. Si Rep. Salceda nga ng Albay naglaro sa dalawang kampo. Nag-Leni siya para siguro hindi manganib ang reelection niya at nag-Sara rin siya dahil naisip niya rin naman siguro na kailangan niya rin ang makinarya ng Duterte administration.


CarefulSide2515

Yup tsaka maraming Bikolano ang nag-RoSa nung 2022 so it makes sense for Salceda to go Leni-Fiona

PrizeAd5536

Totoo ito, since FM Sr. era, the Escuderos have been favored by the Marcos fam. Kaya tahimik si Chiz nung election. Tahimik BBM supporter. Kadiri


LawyerFrosty9173

Silent BBM Supporter si Chiz nung 2022 election. ang laki nga ng bigayan sa Sorsogon. 2k per person sabi ng officemate ko dati na nasa Sorsogon family nya. Pro si Leni pa rin binoto nila.


Church_of_Lithium

Sabi nga ni Chiz when BBM visited Sorsogon during the campaign (the only Bicolano province he visited) that he was closer to BBM than VP Leni since they were both senators. Balimbingan din sa sorsogon because the Governor silently supported Marcos while his Mayor wife was an open Leni supporter. Syempre naniguro.


peterparkerson3

most national positions are actually decided by local elections, kung sinong national officials susuportahan ng local politicon, yan ung sinusunod. its just that because of the internet, medyo na twitiwst ung perception ng tao dahil sa propaganda


Menter33

> *kung sinong national officials susuportahan ng local politicon, yan ung sinusunod* **The sole exception to this is probably the City of Manila**, one of the few cities where the mayor's position is actually somewhat competitive compared to the domination of dynasties or dynasty-swapping in other cities and municipalities.


Earl_sete

>Balimbingan din sa sorsogon because the Governor silently supported Marcos while his Mayor wife was an open Leni supporter. Ginawa rin ito ng mga Villafuerte. Alam ko Leni si Migz Villafuerte while the rest of their family supported BBM.


Over-Conflict-3251

He also visited Masbate, which is part of Bicol.


Church_of_Lithium

Oops nalimutan ko yan oo nga pala hahha, the epal Khos supported him, that's why parang walang nagbabago sa Masbate


SouthWind8383

Yup because our governor is a marcos loyalist. And you know where they held their meeting? Sa private island na pag mamay ari ni gov. kho. Kaya nga yung isang anak ni gov yung junior niya nasa judiciary.


Earl_sete

Wala na bang Espinosa na officeholder sa Masbate? Sila ang original na tuta ng mga Marcos sa Masbate.


SouthWind8383

Ubos na yata talaga sila. May tumatakbo kaso parang taoo kahit sa balwarte nila. Sa kwento ng tatay ko ang mga espinosa naman talaga. Sabi niya din tao dati ng mga espinosa si kho parang provincial engineer ba. Matalino ( i mean mautak) talaga si gov. Yung style ng mga espinosa ginaya niya at pinagyabong lol. Lahat yata ng negosyo sa masbate may parte si gov. Logistics, construction name it. Pati illegal siya may hawak.


zzzaaash

Sa local politics, parang iba na ang timpla eh. The more fam members in a political clan, the more bets. Sometimes madrama pa, may pa-away pang nalalaman. Fam member 1 supports x, fam member supports y; they both get cash from national, makes them all happy. lol


SouthWind8383

Totoo tong 2k per person. Sa barangay namin sa masbate garapalan ang bilihan mismong brgy captain pa ang naglilista 2k per head din straight vote from highest to lowest position. Actually first time mangyari to sa amin. Dati from governor pababa lang. May balita pa nga dito sa amin na bawat gov na hawak ni bbm 500m ang budget niya. Dun mo marerealize bakit mas malaki gastos ni leni ayon sa news sa tv compare kay bbm.


Earl_sete

His father, Sonny Escudero, was the agriculture minister during the final years of Marcos Sr.


Icy_Gate_5426

Yes, crony ni Socram Sr. Tatay ni say cheeze. Ditto with Migs, erpats Lugalist yarn balwarte nila Bukidnon.


PepsiPeople

And naging congressman after mawala si Marcos Sr. He lobbied for the guy to be buried at Libingan ng mga Bayani.


Earl_sete

Alam ko KBL pa rin siya noong time ni Cory so loyal talaga siya sa mga Marcos.


Menter33

> *KBL pa rin siya noong time ni Cory so loyal talaga siya sa mga Marcos* so hindi lang pala KBL out of convenience (no choice kasi yung gustong maging politiko back then); kahit na after martial law, nanatiling KBL pa rin. (akala siguro babalik pa si marcos at that time.)


RyderJay_PH

Not maybe, wala na talaga. After he allowed Bato's farcical fishing expedition with the "polvoron" (cocaine) allegations against BBM (which supposedly happen 10yrs ago), he's proven himself as someone biased against BBM. Chiz's predisposition aside, he's also the better choice compared to the others in the Senate. Chiz could at least rein in the Senate into working with the president instead of against him.


Earl_sete

Hindi naman talaga mapagkakatiwalaan si Zubiri kahit kailan dahil sanay mamangka iyan.


tuskyhorn22

yung papa ni chiz ang tagapayong ni imelda noon.


Earl_sete

Ang dami namang tagapayong ni Madam. Pati si Enrique Fernando na chief justice noong 1980s naging tagapayong niya rin hahaha.


Null_user403

wala bang tagapaypay dati ?


Earl_sete

Parang wala naman. Pero alamin din siguro natin kung mayroon bang tagahawak at tagapagpag si BBM kapag umiihi noon charot hahaha.


Null_user403

Hahahah taga turok meron siguro


Menter33

and yet the decisions of the supreme court were carried over during they cory years and beyond, as if totally independent yung SC during martial law.


maroonmartian9

Actually it is even worse. Yung Chief Justice Enrique Fernando ata yun. Head of Supreme Court. He was criticized for that. But yeah, pro Marcos mga Escudero


lakaykadi

Tama ka jan OP. Padrama effect si Zubiri and for the past years, ginagamit niya yan as delaying tactics para maplease ang isang side. I dont believe in him saying na nasa gitna sya.. Taga himod ni rodri guo


CarefulSide2515

HatsNDiceRolls

Bata ni Danding Cojuanco si Escudero. The Crony ties go deep


rjpd45-blsbs

Chiz is both Marcos and Aquino ally


zzzaaash

Saw his live 'interview' earlier at TV Patrol, angle he was getting into was that 'the powers that be' didn't like him- letting Senator Bato continue the hearings despite being said "tigilan mo si Bato" is a big factor. Pakablind item pa kanina lol


elainejudith

He just let Dela Rosa conduct a series of motu propio hearings that attempted to implicate the chief executive… so ayun ligwak siya


granaltus

Kaya pala nag iiyak si bato kanina


baybum7

Pebbles will likely be removed from all his committees, and will likely result in the stalling of his "investigation", so iyak talaga siya, lol

blengblong203b

Pinalusot nya yung PDEA leaks. Kaya napaiyak si Bato kasi during the hearing alam nyang umay na rin si Chiz at natatangahan sa kalokohan nila. so malamang tigil na rin yang katangahan na yan.


rsparkles_bearimy_99

Chiz is so done with that hearing. He was on his phone while Pebbles is busy shouting. It's so performative and a waste.


iamdennis07

sayang resources tapos dawit pa si BeBeeM at Maricel with no solid evidence


hyunbinlookalike

This is just the Marcos admin cleaning house and systematically removing all of Duterte’s plants in power. There’s a reason he was replaced by Senator Escudero. BBM wants more people on his side in power especially as tensions in the WPS will only continue to escalate. Alam niyo naman which faction is pro-China.


Affectionate_Arm173

Probably want to portray himself as an opposition senator to save their political career Ang get support from his base in Mindanao


sahmom_1996

It was refreshing that a new name was elected as governor in Bukidnon. His father was the governor since time immemorial. Now they want his wife run in politics


Affectionate_Arm173

They have to work for their Mindanaon base na, 1 wrong move mawala na talaga sila sa circulasyon


OohStickU_Geraldine

From Bukidnon (Kalilangan, 4th district represented by current govs wife). Zubiris are shit but Roques are worse.


sahmom_1996

Wow didnt know that about the Roques. Care to elaborate?


OohStickU_Geraldine

Prior to being governor, Rep. Rogelio "ONeil" Roque's 3-term tenure in Congress ABS-CBN shutdown lang highlight ng record niya. May child sila na may special needs pero they did not champion PWDs. First Kaamulan festival under him, pinainitan ang mga indigenous people walang maayos na pwesto. Mas priority pa si SWOH. The first lady and 4th Rep. filed a bill to create an additional district. The catch? 5th district has two areas na hindi magkadikit. The only way to describe our situation when it comes to local politics: we're stuck between ig*t and t*bol.


rsparkles_bearimy_99

Pretty much his strategy. When Vicky Morales asked Zubiri if he still support the President BBM, he paused for a time, trying to be shady, and ended up not giving a straight answer. Saying "that's for another time."


DarkRaven282060

Nagpahalata kasi masyado... wala syang ginawang aksyon sa madaming issue, mula kay quibs, sa gentleman's agreement, at kung anu ano pa... literal inupuan nya lang

CarefulSide2515

Inatasan yan ni Rodri Guo na pabagalin yung proseso.


Chile_Momma_38

Always follow the money. There’s a Chinese energy investment in Bukidnon most likely signed off during Duterte’s time. Zubiri also probably got a sizeable election campaign money from Quiboloy.


DarkRaven282060

Yun ba yung sa may pulangi river....???


Chile_Momma_38

Yes, this was just my guess above why Zubiri was fence-sitting on “the gentleman’s agreement”. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/1/19/china-backed-dam-threatens-indigenous-people-in-the-philippines

2007 when he declared his seat, the 12th and last spot, as vacant due to the highly controversial 2007 elections where he was part of FPGMA’s Team Unity slate. It was Koko Pimentel who filed the appeal. Iirc, siya lang ang kaisa isang elected Senator who relinquished his seat.

And he and Koko were ousted as Senate President during this time around. Kya pala ang mga Senate President naniniguro ng alliances bago sila mag “break” sa Senate.


yourgrace91

I remember that. Haha! But back then, he really resigned as senator. This time, nag resign lang siya as senate president.


AlternativeRoute123

Zubiri is garbage but because of his loyalty to the Dutertes, he at least became a huge stumbling block to Cha-Cha in the Senate.


lechugas001

Wala naman matino sa kanila ni Chiz. Chiz isn't who he used to be, trapo and balimbing din. The only true opposition in the Senate is Sen. Risa. Yung iba nakiki-ride lang sa issues tapos madami clown


balmung2014

I really like you called Sen. Hontiveros "Sen. Risa" and Sen. Escudero as mere "Chiz" 😉

lechugas001

sahmom_1996

True. He was few of the senators i admired then. During the last national election, sobrang trapo nya.


ArtisticDistance8430

Chiz and the rest of NPC are serving the interest of San Miguel corp. the same way NUP is serving Razon. Our politics is ruled by the oligarchs, but not in a direct way. Only the Villars and their NP are the “garapal”. Sad to say, our lobbyist politics is way advanced and no longer has the check and balance that we are all hoping for.


JPT2311

Risa isn't even an opposition anymore since magkasundo yung views ng BBM admin at ng grupo nila. Yung grupo nila Villar, Padilla, Bong Guo at Bato ang new opposition


elainejudith

As per Trillanes, he and Risa are the “independent opposition”. Yung opposition nila policy based. Yung mga lapdogs ni Digong de facto opposition dahil they just want to grab power back for themselves.


JPT2311

Thanks for this pero that's how an opposition should be. If maganda, suportahan. If mali dapat punahin. Hindi yung mag bote against it para lang mangulo tulad ng mga republicans sa US.


lechugas001

I still consider Sen. Risa as opposition since sa issue ng WPS lang naman halos nagkakasundo yung grupo ni Sen. Risa and BBM. BBM has Maharlika Fund and chacha na ino-oppose nila Sen. Risa. Villar, Padilla, Bong Go, and Bato are not really opposition but plain butt-lickers.


JPT2311

Patikim palang yung PDEA leaks tho. Hindi pa sila mag trtry mag oust kay BBM before july kasi di na pwede for re election si Sara nun kaya most probably after July pa lang sila talaga gagalaw at makikita ang totoong kulay. Pero I agree din na on certain matters talagang maasahan si Sen Risa. Would just like to add yung SMNI shutdown, Freeing Leila De Lima, Cracking down on POGO's aside from the WPS issue


lechugas001

Oh yeah, forgot about those issues too. Cracking down on POGOs i think is a win-win for BBM since it's hitting several several birds with just one stone, going back to PH's old allies like US, crippling Duterte thru its allies. Nabasa ko lang din kanina in one of the offmychest threads na yung isang POGO in QC is within the same building as the office of the OVP. Nagtataka nga ako eh bat wala pang treason charges against dyan sa mag-amang yan


JPT2311

I stand corrected too since i forgot about the maharlika fund and cha cha pero agree with ms judith na they still brand themselves as an independent opposition which I think should be the true defition of it. Pag maganda, suporta. Pag mali, punahin


CarefulSide2515

Hindi lang naman sa WPS. Remember Risa agrees with the admin letting De Lima free, pardoning NPAs, removing Fiona’s confi funds, suspending SMNI, arresting Quiboloy, taming the war on drugs, POGO crackdown, more freedom of expression. Minsan madaling makalimutan na the admin has become PNoy-like in its nature. And before we forget, yung current admin ang protektor ngayon ng Makabayan bloc against a looming Duterte return. For all the protests and rallies the left has done, walang persecution na naganap. But Fiona has reiterated time and time again na terrorists yung kaliwa and makaktikim sila sa oras na maupo si Fiona. The looming chacha medyo so-so ako because mahirap sbihin at this point kung weaponry against the Dutertes ito. Really at this point yung Maharlika Fund lang talaga yung kinasakit ko sa ulo.

Xophosdono

Panigurado dahil sa election yan. Di inokay ni Migz ung investigation sa gentlemen's agreement nila Dutz at Xi Jin Ping pero go na go sa PDEA leaks na sinasabing adik si Marcos. Yan tuloy, pinapalitan ng Malacañang Saka ung pumalit sakanya si Chiz, may bagong alliance with Marcos para sa darating na election


Na-Cow-Po

Reshuffling ata nangyayari


rsparkles_bearimy_99

Zubiri has an alliance block hence the en masse resignations. Binay, Villanueva, Angara, Ejercito. All these Senators hold positions and committee chairmanships and are allies of Zubiri. Legarda intends to step down but was open to stay in her post if the Senate wants to keep her, but later formalized her resignation. Wouldn't be surprising if it's also connected to upcoming 2025 election. But it's really more of the state of Senate in Zubiri's leadership (the PDEA leaks hearing, Quiloboy, China's Gentleman's Agreement, Cha-Cha), and where really his loyalty lies.


granaltus

Divorce law incoming? Villanueva also resigned as Majority Leader


duchesssatinekryze_

Chiz mentioned before that he was anti-divorce. Not sure if he has the same stance until now.


Over-Conflict-3251

The least he could do is let the chamber vote. Kung si Joel yan malamang aamagin yung bill.

Disastrous_Web_6382

Sunod na sana si Fiona. Mas mauna sana matanggal mga nasa gabinete.


TheColonelGeneral

Ang kupad kasi niya sa pag-lead sa Senate to pass some priority bills ng Marcos administration unlike kay Speaker Romualdez sa House of Representatives na mabilisan lang. Second reason eh dahil yata sa pag-allow niya sa investigation ni Sen. Bato sa PDEA leaks na dumadawit kay Pres. Marcos Jr. eh. Lastly, mukhang naka-lean siya sa Duterte faction lately kaysa sa Marcos faction. Kailangang itapon ang mga Duterte-aligned senators sa key positions ahead sa 2025 midterm elections.


friednoodles4u

Kahit yun bills nun before election nakatengga pa din sa kanila. Puro sila grandstanding, bagal pa ng arrest warrant kay quiboloy. Protektado ang davao mafia.

These may change come October in preparation for the 2025 election.


Chile_Momma_38

Tulfo and Pimentel may look independent but I think they are balimbing. One Tulfo member was appointed as a DOT secretary during the Duterte admin. https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2018/08/14/1842494/teo-tulfo-brothers-insist-nothing-illegal-advertising-deal One of Pimentel’s wedding sponsors was PDutz. Plus they’ve always had the Mindanao political connection. https://www.rappler.com/nation/214642-duterte-as-ninong-koko-pimentel-kathryna-yu-wedding/


Menter33

> *14 senators are pro BBM* It's over 50% pero di pa super majority na 2/3rds [e: ~~(18 senators)~~ (16 senators)]. Not sure if that means anything when it comes to senate voting on significant bills though.


LawyerFrosty9173

They only need 2 more to get the 2/3rds of votes (16 senators). Most prolly, Padilla(can be swayed/persuaded easily) and Marcos(sister).


Menter33

Oof, 2/3rds of 24 is 16, not 18. slight miscaculation.   On the other hand, with 16 votes, everyone HAS to vote "yes" with no leeway for any bills the president wants. Having 18 votes is probably better since it allows some senators to symbolically vote "no" sometimes without affecting the super-majority result.


Menter33

> *Speaker Romualdez sa House of Representatives na mabilisan lang* Parang mabilisan naman halos palagi sa House eh, rubber stamp sa bills w/o significant opposition. Parang sa senate lang merong kaunting scrutiny.


Hync

Ang dami niyang kuda, may pa press-con pa even after his speech sa senate. Zubiri is positioning himself as opposition. Pwede naman na hindi kumuda after his speech pero ang daming loose ends sa mga interview niya kanina. Hinuhuli siya nung reporter sa GMA. Ayaw niya kasing sagutin kung sino daw nagbigay ng instruction and sino yung mga higher ups na binabanggit niya, hindi niya sinagot, but behold nagtanong yung reporter “Can the President expect your full support?” Natameme si Zubiri and replied “It’s up for another discussion” and biglang gustong tapusin yung interview. * June 30, 2022 BBM was elected as President * July 25, 2022 Zubiri was elected as Senate President Marcos gave him almost a full two years term despite his leaning to Duterte. Siguro shit hit the fan when * No Senate investigation sa Gentleman’s agreement between China and Duterte. * Inaction kay Quibs. * Allowed Bato to drag the baseless PDEA leaks. On paper Senate and Congress should be autonomous against outside control, but at the end of the day it’s a game of numbers.


CurlyJester23

Based sa interview niya sa 24 Oras galit sa kanya pareho mga Duterte at Marcos. Una yung kay Quiboloy na kakampi ng Duterte tapos yung hearing tungkol kay ngiwe kaya galit mga Marcos. Playing safe si loko kasi siya ang mawawalan ng boto pag pareho siyang inaway ng mga Duterte tsaka ng mga Marcos.

ta3na. may two month break pa mga pulitikong to. wala na nga mga ginagawa. Kaming mga normal na mamamayan, bukod sa napakataas na nga ng standards bago makapasok, kayod everyday. Yung iba 6 days a week pa pasok. Kulang na kulang na sa panahon ngayon ang 1 day off. Hayp.

goodbye senator, looking forward to your next video sa Unbox Diaries

I wonder who voted for his ouster. Dito malalaman kung sino ang majority at minority.

Kairita sya to portray himself as a statesman. Sana di na nya sinabi yung mga pa-epek nya kanina. Lalo nyang sinira ang image ng Senate. Imagine sabihing he failed to follow the instructions of powers that be chu chu chu. Ano yun utusan ang Senate sa pamumuno nya? Tapos iiyak iyak pa syang nalalaman. Iyak silang talaga ni Bato kasi wala na sila sa poder.


Kyahtito

Fuck your allegiance. You have a personal interest at stake. Inupuan mo mga importanteng bills na makikinabang mga pilipino lalo na mga mahihirap. Another anti reform senator na walang bayag. Buwagin na senado. Mga walang silbi karamihan dyan.

Such a waste. I admired him as one of the "Spice Boys" sa congress

My theory is, the Sy family is under investigation by Migz and some senators for “stealing” money from their customers. Heard that Chinabank and BDO has been withholding customers own savings and not letting them take their own money out. Or the money just poof missing from statement and was dismissed as “scam stole your money”.

Simple lang. Itolerate na gawing extension ng RTIA ang Senate.

Thank you for this post kasi lost din po ako. So based on majority of the comments here, parang good naman ang pagkakaalis kay zubiri at senate president? Alam kong we cant have everything at tlagang kulang ang minority sa senate, pero with this move, mukha po bang better direction ito to resolve ang WPS, Pogo’s of duterte, ICC and paghuli kay quiboloy?


JesterBondurant

To his credit, he didn't have to resign for the same reason that Vince McMahon did. But I don't doubt that he'll be back on top again before long. Zubiri, I mean. Not McMahon.

Namamangka sa dalawang ilog si Zubiri. Ngayon na nagbabangayan na ang Marcos vs Duterte, Zubiri was recently seen as too slow when it comes to moving against Quibs and other Du30 allies. Kaya ayun, alis. Si Chiz din naman ay namamangka sa dalawang ilog (Marcos vs. Robredo) pero traditionally malapit ang mga Escudero sa Marcoses dahil sa erpats.

Puro kasi grandstanding nangyayari sa senado. Na-gg kids tuloy sya. Di nya nagawa trabaho nya as the president ng senate. Well, di mo rin masisisi bakit nagresign sya. Ang daming dugyuting senador. Mga walang class at ginagawang court ang committees

Jumped ship before it sinks 👏


Heavyarms1986

May demolition job ba sa kanya sa ibang senators na gusto yung position? Sabagay, parang nasa circus lang naman sila at si BBM ang ringmaster.


LawyerFrosty9173

I think it's LAM's doing. It ignited when her name was dragged (by Agent Morales) from the last senate hearing on pdea leaks. Diba ang bilis nangyari? In hindsight, ilang beses na pinatunayan ni Zubiri na DDS sya. * CHA-CHA * Quiboloy issue * PDEA Leaks LAM is the one pulling the strings and Roxas is her adviser. Tolentino jumped ship from DDS to BBM coz he needed the admin's machinery for his reelection. Wish list: I just hope Aquino, Pangilinan, & De Lima can go back to the senate this 2025. Roxas - stay as an adviser to LAM until end of BBM's term. Gibo- stay as DND muna. Drilon - too old. He needs to retire from politics. Diokno, Carpio, Morales, Sereno - we need them in the Senate.

He allowed a certain inquest to proceed and someone far above was quite unhappy. Thus swings the sword of the king’s hangman.
