Senator Risa Hontiveros moved to temporarily suspend any action or seconding of Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa’s privilege speech to give way to the formal oath-taking of senators as senator-judges in the impeachment court.

While Hontiveros was delivering her motion, she was interrupted by Senator Imee Marcos, who raised a point of order. Sen. Imee insisted on making her interjection despite Hontiveros still holding the floor.

00:00Senator Antevares first, and then Senator Villaneva.
00:02You may proceed, ma'am.
00:06Maraming salamat po, Mr. President.
00:09Immediately after the speech of the good gentleman from Davao,
00:13I move that any interpolation or any action,
00:18any seconding speech on the privileged speech
00:21be suspended momentarily after his speech
00:25to allow us to take our oath,
00:29which was the subject of the approved motion yesterday,
00:33and again, which was the subject of the approved motion yesterday,
00:38which is an offshoot of a question of privilege,
00:42which takes precedence over all motions.
00:46So I restate my motion, Mr. President,
00:51to momentarily suspend any action,
00:55whether interpellation or seconding speech
00:58on the privileged speech of the good gentleman from Davao
01:02para sa wakas bigyang daan yung inaprubahan nating motion kahapon

01:12Point of order.
01:13Point of order.
01:13I still have the floor.
01:14I have the floor, Mr. President.
01:15Point of order.
01:15I have the floor, Mr. President.
01:17A point of order, Mr. President.
01:19To make way for taking of the oath before the presiding office.
01:23What is the point of order of Senator Marcos?
01:29Yes, thank you very much, Mr. President.
01:31And I'd just like to reiterate that I wasn't being rude,
01:34but simply recognizing the fact
01:36that the point of order takes precedence over all other motions.
01:41Also, that there is, in fact, a motion already pending on the floor,
01:44already acknowledged as well by our majority leader,
01:48which requires a vote.
01:49Duly noted, but the Chair has not yet acted on the motion,
01:54and there has been no objection as of yet.
01:56We will address the motion of Senator Bateau,
01:58as the Chair said earlier,
02:00after we hear from Senator Villanueva now.
02:03With all due respect, Senate President,
02:07the Deputy Minority Leader is proposing yet another motion
02:11on top of the pending motion.
02:14That is not allowed.
02:15The Chair has not yet acted on that motion,
02:18and will not yet so act on that motion.
02:20And we'll be making a ruling,
02:22after we hear from all of those who raised their hands earlier.
02:26So, with indulgence of Senator Marcos,
02:28can we hear from Senator Villanueva?
02:29Thank you very much.
02:30And then the Chair will come.
02:39And then the Chair will come.
