THE SENATE’S INDEPENDENCE: Senate President Franklin M. Drilon talks about the Senate’s independence during the Kapihan sa Senado media forum on Wednesday, July 21, 2016. Drilon said that it is a “reality in our political system” for the Senate to be independent from the executive branch when taking a stand in policy issues. “You have 24 republics in the Senate of the Philippines. You can imagine that there are 24 opinions in every issue. Difference of opinions between the senators and Malacañang are to be expected,” the outgoing Senate President said.
