Remember Frank Drilon vs Bong Go? 👀 Curious about guidelines during Senate debates? Here's a quick guide by Rappler's Senate reporter maracepeda.

Senators can engage in debates both at the committee level, where panel members first thresh out the provisions of a bill, and in the plenary, where the entire chamber can join the deliberations.

Senators can also debate with each other when amendments to a bill are being proposed or when a member delivers a privilege speech and agrees to be asked by colleagues.Debates can last for a few minutes or even hours, spread out across several session days, depending on the number of interpellators and how contentious the bill is.

The staff members of a senator are usually on standby near him or her to hand out notes and other information when necessary. Senators often earn admiration points – both from their colleagues and the public – whenever they are able to cite data as well as explain the nuances of a law or jurisprudence from memory.The Senate’s Rule XXXIV says any acts and language “which offend a senator or any public institution” shall be deemed unparliamentary.
