Senate readies for No-el scenario after PDP-Laban bid to reopen COC filing — Lacson, Sotto

Presidential aspirant Senator Panfilo Lacson disclosed this possible scenario after Duterte’s faction in the PDP- Laban sought to“I would not like to think that the intention of the petition to reopen the filing of the COCs filed by the PDP-Laban is to delay the election on May 9, 2022 — and pave the way for the extension of the term of office of the President beyond June 30, 2022. This is something the 1987 Constitution clearly forbids,” Lacson said in a statement on Monday.

The new Senate President, whose term will expire on June 30, 2025, should act as President “until a new President or Vice President shall have been chosen and qualified,” the senator explained.“Let me clarify and emphasize that I am not accusing the administration of any malevolent attempt in this possible scenario. What I’m only saying is that the Senate will always be the bulwark of our democracy, and I take pride in playing a major role in it,” he added.

“Yes we have discussed that, it’s our idea of how to resolve the problem of vacancy in the leadership. We were ten steps ahead,” Sotto said in a text message. “They cannot replace him or her by July 1st because they will only have 12 votes,” the Senate leader said.

Onli n da Pilipins

Imee Marcos is the most qualified for that position.

why r they entertaining such ideas? makikinabang ba sila?

Get ready, if this happens, i think the next SP shld be one of these 12: Lito, Sonny, Nancy, Pia, Cynthia, Imee, Bong, Bong, Ronald, Francis, Grace, Koko. If done now...the other 12 gets to vote.😁

NO-EL scenario must never be an option

Kung ramdam nila ang galit ng tao sa gagawin nila, di nila iaattempt yan. Kaya dapat silang ipressure ng mga mamamayan.

Gumagalaw ang baso!!

Another scary tactic to get elected. President can’t delay election due to pandemic unless he declares martial law.The incumbent President can’t extend his term under the constitution. The President of the Senate and Speaker of the house will take over.

Remember VP LENI is next in succession. Why would Senate elect an acting president in a NO-EL scenario? And who do you intend to elect? KAYO? And why presume that scenari if PDP LABAN is just asking for an extension of Filing of candidacy? Hmmm. DUts minions at work .

No. That is not democratic. You have no right to install a president even if the circumstances are those, you can impeach Duterte and let the elections happen.

After June 30, 2022, nobody in the current Senate have the mandate anymore. Who will vote for which position?

Acting President Hahaha ulol!
