The Biggest Reality Show to hit Phiippine Free TV
Dateline: 10:26 am, Sept 6
The show at Congress began at around 4 pm.
The House session hall was filled to the rafters. Former President Cory Aquino, Susan Roces and 2004 presidential candidate Eddie Villanueva was there at the VIP section.
Everyone was anticipating a good show. Word had leaked out that the House Justice Committee report would be tackled.
But not everyone expected it to be this long.
* * * * *
House session was divided into two parts.
The first part was the Privelege Hour, which was supposed to last for only an hour. However, since this was the time for Representatives to give speeches, this extended to almost five hours.
Second part is the juicier one, albeit was taking a long time. The House Justice Committee report was to be tackled. This started at around 10 pm. It was Justice Committee chair Simeon Datumanong and Vice Chair Marcelino Libanan who presented the report to the plenary.
At 11 pm up until around 3:30 pm, interpellation was between Rep Villafuerte and Rep Escudero & Rep Cayetano of the minority. And then the nominal voting began.
(I left at 2 pm, having had no snack or dinner during the entire ordeal; I monitored the events from live television courtesy of ANC and NBN. I consider other reporters from big organizations as very lucky to have relievers for them.)
As of this time, voting was dragging on with almost each Representative exhausting their 3-minute privelege to speak and explain their votes. This is the reason why this particular session is lasting this long. Imagine 200-plus Representatives going to the mic and talking and yakking.
I wonder if the new 24-hour service of Pinoy Big Brother rated big time against this session at the House.
