Senate torn by Ressa’s Nobel Peace Prize win

But Zubiri told the Inquirer that per Drilon’s own amendment to Senate Resolution No. 110, which created the Senate medal, the matter should be put to a vote and require unanimity among the members.

“It does place the Duterte administration in a very awkward situation considering how it has repeatedly attacked Rappler and filed all sorts of bogus cases against her,” Sen. Francis Pangilinan said.While saying he believes any Filipino Nobel winner deserves the Senate’s recognition, Zubiri invoked the “approved rules” for the conferment of the award.

An Aug. 24 press release of the Senate also said the measure “automatically confers” the Senate medal on Filipino recipients of the Nobel, Pulitzer, Turing and Magsaysay award, or an Olympic medal.Senate President Vicente Sotto III, who agreed with Zubiri’s interpretation, said a Senate medal for Ressa would not sail smoothly.

Paki labas n rin kung sino may ayaw sa kanila sa senate.

Bakit sinabi pa na automatic kung pagbobotohan din lang? Isang No or isang abstain lang wala na. Waste of time.

So, some of the senators agree with Ressa’s baseless accusations (suppression of the press) against the government which they are part of yet they never did anything? They’re even planning to award her for accusing them? 😂😂😂

NobelPrize are you willing to sacrifice your integrity by giving this liar an award? Before I really looked up to your organization and awardees because I thought your standard of excellence in high. By awarding mariaressa I realized you are a scam afterall 🤣😂 mariaressa

Si Zubiri din pala TUTA at Balimbing max!

Nobel ? Di yan alam nina Lito Lapid, Bong Revilla, at Sotto. Dyan pa mga Super TUTA Bong Go , at Bato.

Hahahaha NobelPrize next time you do your assignment and examine thoroughly the integrity of your awardees. You are giving an award to fake news peddler. Late president Corazon Aquino who is way more credible than her is not even recognized nobelfakeprize mariaressa
