Seriously, i should have taken up law to be able to comprehend what these.nincompoops are talking about. Which is constitutional and what is not. Seems like they are the ones who really know the Constitution !

Ano na nangyari sa pagkatao mo!? You started as a promising politician, pero ayan ang bata mo pa...lugmok ka na agad sa kumonoy.

The audacity. Really? Coming from you? Unconstitutional?

Sue them! 🤣🤣😂🤣

What the worm is saying is that sila lang ang maaaring lumabag sa batas. Huwag naman silang pangunahan. The inegrity of this creature...

very unethical. Nagpapahintay ka samantalang ayaw mong gumalaw? That’s gross neglect of duty. Magresign ka dahil kayang gawin yan ng iba kung di mo kaya...

Is this all that the House leadership has to say ? The Senate has acted where the House has failed, plain and simple.

Mr. Alan Peter Cayetano... it is time for you to do soul searching.

Pero nung kailangan mo ng mag-aair ng SEA Games Opening Ceremony mo, saan ka tumakbo? User

Dinudungisan mo lang ang pangalan ng tatay mo.

Plastic kapal muks mo Cayetano

Sana tinuluyan ka na ni Mike Arroyo. Annoying Matet 🙄

alanpcayetano you bring shame to your father's good name

Who you? Who he? Outgoing Speaker of the House na siya divaaaa?

Mga dilawan gusto nilang diktahan ang gobyerno at ipilit ang gusto nila para e renew ang ABS CBN. Sino ngayon ang diktador?May pa press freedom pang nalalaman puro dakdak nman may kasama pang madadramang posts at pics ng mga artista pero wala namang simpleng manggagawa 😂😂😂

Syempre diktador ang mga dilawang senador. Walang constitution sa kanila.
