Definitely kayo ma'am, you won't be part of the majority block.
00:04
I will not join the majority again. I haven't been part of the majority in almost 9 years.
00:10
And tingin ko consistent sa pagiging miyembro ko ng minority.
00:15
Either manatili sa minority or magbuo ng isang independent block o maging independent.
00:22
Hindi lang dahil sa nakaraan, pero dahil din sa kinabukasan.
00:25
Gusto ko talagang magsalamin kami o magsalamin ako dito sa loob ng Senado
00:31
dun sa mas malakas na oposisyon na gusto kong buuin namin, tulungan namin buuin sa labas ng Senado.
00:40
Ma'am, balikan ko lang yun sa minority leadership.
00:42
Hindi niyo po ba tinatarget yun, ma'am, in the 20th Congress?
00:46
Well, gusto ko man, ngayon pa lang may bloke na ng mga kasama kong senador na mas marami na ang bilang.
00:55
Mas marami sa isa at mas marami pa sa tatlo.
00:58
So tingnan na lang po natin paano mag-unfold yung pag-organisa ng Senado ng 20th Congress sa umaga ng 29th sa opening of session.
01:09
At yun din yung mga scenarios na kinoconsider namin ni Sen Kiko at Sen Ba.
01:13
Tama ba maman ko ng understanding na you have to contest the Senate leadership tapos yung second top,
01:21
highest na nag-contest, siya yung automatic? Hindi siya automatic?
01:26
May iba't-ibang paraan. Yun yung isa sa mga classic na paraan.
01:32
Tatakbo silang SP. Pag natalo sila, sila yung magiging minority leader.
01:38
Maari din sa pag-uusap na may mga senador, may mag-signify na kami na, batay sa ganitong bilang.
01:45
So may iba't-ibang paraan. And ifo-formalize namin yan sa umaga ng 29th sa opening of session.
01:52
Sa discussion niyo ma'am ngayon, kasama na ba si Sen. Soto?
01:56
Kasi considering na sila yung nakafloat na possible na mag-contest kay SPGs.
02:02
And kung ganun ba ma'am, isa rin ba sa consideration niyo para makuha niyo yung minority leadership na to also run for Senate President?
02:15
May ilang mga dati na or kasalukuyan at incoming senador na nag-uusap,
02:21
nag-uusap pero more of one-on-one. Mas updating, kumustahan.
02:28
Na-appreciate ko si Sen Tito. Hindi na niya ako kinakausap tungkol sa pagsali sa majority kung siya ay lalaban sa SP.
02:36
Kasi alam nila na mananatili ako either sa minority or magiging ibang bloke pa,
02:42
which right now I call independent.
02:45
Kasi kahit nung panahon ni Sen Tito, naging minority ako.
02:51
So na-appreciate ko yung appreciation din nila tungkol sa posisyon ko.
