"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not intend to speak to this but my distinguished brother having raised the matter, we indeed discussed extensively about it with him at the Office of the Clerk yesterday. When I retreated to do further reading and look at the comparable jurisdictions, including Philippines, I noted that in all those jurisdictions - all grounded in the common law system like we do - the proceedings, once they end, the House goes to a direct vote. Nobody retreats to write a reasoned judgment or ruling. It is the vote of the House that is the decision and not what the Speaker or Clerk will write but what the vote will come out of the House is the decision. This is what is practiced in almost all jurisdictions similar to ours."
