"content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion by Sen. Orengo. It is really unthinkable and painful that the two CSs are implying that Senate is a toothless bulldog. It only barks, but cannot bite because it has no teeth. Their actions are contemptuous and have demeaned the Senate. It is unfortunate that they just decided not to appear. They did not even care to send representatives. It is unfortunate that they also defied the Constitution, which they are supposed to defend and uphold. Madam Deputy Speaker, the President needs to know that the two CSs have let him down. We, as leaders, must defend the Constitution. Sen. Orengo took us through the Articles that are very pertinent when it comes to the role of the CSs. Article 153 states very clearly that they are supposed to periodically report to the Senate happenings within their jurisdictions. Article 125 of the Constitution gives Senate power that can be equated to that of a Supreme Court. The Senate can summon anyone to appear before it."
