SP ALAN CAYETANO TO MINORITY!
To my colleagues in the Minority
The Senate is a co-equal branch of government. It is not a prize to be claimed — by anyone. Events of the past few days may have blurred this distinction, but what happened with one of our colleagues today brings it sharply back into focus.
That we differ on the leadership of the Senate is not in question. And it is a fair point of discussion. But no matter our disagreements, we must all agree that it is the Senate’s own business to settle. This chamber answers to GOD and the people who sent us here, and to no one outside these walls.
That line is now being tested. This is not an accusation. I am speaking truth that each senator already knows — the independence of this institution, and the legal standing of any of its members, are not currencies. The day they become things to be traded, is the day that the Senate is diminished. And after the Senate, the Republic.
So I put one question to you, not as the majority but as the chamber: will you stand for the Senate’s independence?
I am asking you to join one deliberate act — to let the Senate go quiet, together and by choice, so the country is made to ask why a co-equal branch would fall silent rather than be made to serve.
The door is open. What you do with it is yours to answer — to this institution, and to the people watching it.
