∙         from Marilou Uy Rollorata to Ferdinand Villanueva: the investigation start, if the concrete or recibo evidence ilatag, then the case start, sad to say ang dami Filipinos kulang sa kaalaman sa batas ng Pilipinas, anyway I understand,

∙         from Corazon Sebandal to Ferdinand Villanueva: Korek as mentioned by the 18 brave marines.

∙         from Marilou Uy Rollorata to Corazon Sebandal: , to be frank with you 18 marines are scripted, they don’t have concrete. Evidence, only to hear say, their statements are not precise and conscience, please be sensible.

∙         from Marilou Uy Rollorata to Ferdinand Villanueva: , fyi lang sir majority of the Senators are involved in the flood control anomalies, and most of them have cases in the court, Nauna na si Jinggoy Estrada, marami pa susunod dyan under majority block, please updated.

Şugdan na bitaw unta na ni marcoleta,, ila jud gupulihan!!!!and besides ila pd gi block ang 18 marines nga mo testify,,, which is naa jud details,, with picture pa sa mga maleta,, unsa na mga plastic???

∙         from Marilou Uy Rollorata to Ferdinand Villanueva: , Be updated and be sensible, don’t believe in fake news, dapat may concrete evidence, hinde tinatangap sa court ang hearsay,

∙         from Lads Panilag to Ferdinand Villanueva: you’re right sir..

∙         from JV Rasonabe: Yes kay polpol

∙         from Ma Wenda Penales Angco: Big YES! Magresign na si MR.ALLAN CAYETANO kay sayang ang sweldo!

∙         from Rey Louis Ibarra: RESIGN Dishonorable Cayetano!!!…you’re a DISGRACE & Big INSULTS to the INDEPENDENCE & INTEGRITY of the SENATE of the REPUBLIC of the PHILIPPINES!!!

∙         from Rey Louis Ibarra: The Disciples of JUDAS!!! #BlackThirteen(13)

∙         from Mindap Araneta: Kon may kaulaw pa, dapat mo resign na. Nag sweldo lang ta niya nga ang gisilbehan mga Duterte lang dili ang mga katawhan.

∙         from Avelino Puracan: No he is protecting the indepence of the senate. Replacing him wta senator coming from the minority will result to the loss of the ck & balance system of governance.

∙         from Corazon Sebandal to Avelino Puracan: Korek

∙         from Indalicia Dominguez: Yes maam..he is not working for the people..he is protecting the delarosa et al.. they are wasting the peoples taxes..

∙         from Nelson Lim: Sin pedro, senate panggulo, dapat no work no pay

∙         from Chris Roa Requeron: Yes yes yes Resign Allan pet Cayatano. Matag ikaw ang presidente sa kamara og sa senado sige lang gubot

∙         from Ene W Sato: Yes! Mosibo gyud si Cayetano ani nga quote ni Sun Tzu, Ma’am. “An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.” He should be forced to resign. At least duha sa present majority ang maka himo ana.

∙         from Liza Migriño Quirog: Yes! He failed to prove he can lead the nation’s higher legislative body.

∙         from Fe Lomantas: Yes ma’am Ardy kay obvious iyang “political color”!

∙         from Anderson Baugbog: Dili pwede mo resign,,kay sya angay sa pwesto ma’am

∙         from Hermes Malig On: No,.. Arun mapadayun ang pag imbestiga sa flood control

∙         from Teresa Reyes Fortich: No. Peter Cayetano should remain as Senate President. It is becoming increasingly obvious that certain individuals are deliberately creating chaos within the Senate under his leadership so they can later claim that the institution is dysfunctional. The timing and actions are too suspicious to ignore. Many senators also seem reluctant to support a thorough investigation into flood control anomalies, raising serious questions about what they may be trying to protect. If there is nothing to hide, then there should be no fear of transparency or accountability. The resistance to these investigations only fuels public suspicion. The pattern is becoming far too obvious.

∙         from Corazon Sebandal to Teresa Reyes Fortich: Agree perfectly said.

∙         from Ryan Naron Saletrero: No

∙         from Myrna Torrefranca: NO WAY! Proven and tested ma ang kabilang bloc. They protect and hide the mastermind of FCS. Halatang halata nakikinabang ang mga yan.

∙         from Mervin Mercado Dayon: Minority bloc nag protect sa flood control anomaly, budget insertions ug protector sa druglords. Ang majority protector sa mga Duterte’s pili lang ta asa nila less evil.

∙         from Corazon Sebandal: No, he should remain as SP so that there will be a thorough investigation on the flood control projects anomaly.
