00:00Maybe we can say that Senator Marcoleta is an abogado.

00:08He is a poor man, he knows that he is in the House.

00:13So maybe he is the best man who is able to leave the legal implications

00:21at makakasagot sa mga tanong na po pwedeng ibato dito po sa kanyang motion.

00:31Kasi kung hindi po abogado ang maghahain ng motion,

00:37baka po mas lalo pong hindi ma-justify yung kanilang motion na ihahain sa plenaryo.

00:47There's no doubt naman po eh, that sabi nga ni Chairman Joel na magaling naman talaga

00:57bilang abogado at bilang legislator.

01:00There's no doubt that his inclusion to the Black is a strong addition

01:05doon sa kung ano man yung mga advocacies pinaglalaban nila.

01:08But as to whether or not this may have something to do with the voting,

01:16hindi po natin alam kung ano yung dynamics ng mga senador.

01:20But siya po yung naging move-on, siya po talagang nagdepensa.

01:24So yun lang po, let's leave it at that.

01:28At talaga namang meron siyang alam ikakayahan bilang isang legislator.
