00:00Senator Alan Peter Cayetano and Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri returned home after a heated debate
00:05regarding the new Congressional District of Embo Barangays in Taguig.
00:11Here's the news of Ma'am Gonzalez.
00:15What do you want? What do you want?
00:18Senator and Senate Sergeant-at-Arms met,
00:21but Senator Alan Peter Cayetano and Juan Miguel Zubiri did not allow
00:26Senator Alan Peter Cayetano and Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri to speak in the Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 23.
00:29Hey, you're just a Senator here.
00:31You have nothing to do with this.
00:33That's what you said in the session.
00:34That's all I'm thinking about.
00:35Do you want us to get 50?
00:37What did I say to you?
00:39I said, Karen, maybe we can still talk.
00:41This is so important.
00:42The debate began when Senator Alan Peter Cayetano asked
00:46to discuss the Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 23.
00:49It states that there is no law yet that establishes
00:52where the Congressional District that includes the Enlisted Men's Barrio or Embo Barangays,
00:57which used to be part of Makati City,
00:59but was transferred to Taguig based on the decision of the Supreme Court in 2022.
01:04That's why in the election of 2025, according to COMELEC,
01:06no other vote was cast in Congress for the more than 200,000 registered voters in Embo.
01:12The resolution states that the district will include every Embo Barangay
01:17because the situation is urgent and the filing of the Certificate of Candidacy is near.
01:21But Zubiri can discuss this.
01:52...by Taguig, and the problem is they'll not be able to vote for any...
01:57Just a one-minute suspension, she's calling.
01:59One-minute suspension, ma'am.
02:01This is where the two shouted.
02:03After the session, they calmed down.
02:05It didn't have to go that way, and I apologize if I raised my voice.
02:09We did give due courtesy to Senator Nancy,
02:12even if this involves barangays that are no longer part of Makati,
02:16but because the chair thought it used to belong to Makati,
02:20we cleared it with her.
02:21The response was, she can confirm or deny the same.
02:25It has nothing to do with Makati because it has everything to do with Taguig.
02:31I was with Senate President Zubiri since 1998.
02:35So maybe we're entitled to one heated argument, which is tonight.
02:39In the end, the two senators shook hands and hugged.
02:42The Senate also adopted the resolution,
02:44which is not a law, but only expresses the sentiments of the senators.
02:49Senator Nancy Pinay laughed at Zubiri.
02:55Zubiri said, this is just a miscommunication.
02:57It would have been avoided if there was a consultation with the senators.
03:00When she explained, it's just a mere request of Congress, then okay.
03:04We already agreed with what happened.
03:06We already agreed that I think we shouldn't let our emotions run wild.
03:13Kayatanong refused to comment on the issue.
03:16The sentiment of some residents of Embu is that the issue of voting for their representation in the House of Representatives should be avoided.
03:23It's ugly.
03:25What's ugly?
03:26That we can't vote as congressmen.
03:33We're used to voting as congressmen.
03:39It's our first time in Embu without a congressman.
03:42The Komelek will wait for Congress' approval.
