Press Release September 2, 2014 Transcript of Ambush Interview with Senate President Franklin M. Drilon Q: On the preemptive suspension of Senator Juan Ponce Enrile SPFMD: Yes we will implement it, we have no recourse but to implement it. Q: Si Senator Enrile daw sabi, he was hoping that the Senate could discuss it and vote on it. SPFMD: The decision of the Supreme Court is that the suspension becomes automatic upon motion of the prosecution, and that has been resolved as early as 2001. Q: Wala na pong magagawa ang Senado? SPFMD: We have no recourse. Q: Nasabi niyo na po ba sa Sandiganbayan na naimplement niyo na yung suspension? SPFMD: We have already filed the manifestation. Q: Ngayon din po ba ipafile yung manifestation sa suspension ni Sen. Estrada? SPFMD: Maybe tomorrow. Q: Sabi po ni Senator Sotto, baka mahirapan po yung Senate Minority sa budget hearings. Baka kulang daw sila sa representation sa deliberations. SPFMD: No that will not affect the work in the Senate. We will continue on with the work here in the Senate. |
