The Senate resumed its session on June 3, albeit with a reduced presence as senators loyal to former Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano stayed away. Senate President Pro Tempore Sherwin Gatchalian issued a stern warning about the potential for a "constitutional violation" if the chamber remained inactive. With only 11 senators initially present, the resumption marks a critical step to avoid a constitutional crisis and highlights the ongoing power dynamics within the Senate. This move underscores the importance of legislative continuity and the challenges of maintaining quorum in the face of internal political disputes.
