President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. urged senators to resume legislative work, expressing concern over stalled plenary sessions caused by the majority bloc's absence. He highlighted that both the Executive and Judiciary branches are functioning, questioning the legislature's decision to halt proceedings. Marcos emphasized the necessity of passing bills into law to assist the Filipino people, especially during times of emergency, and criticized the current disarray within the Senate. He noted that canceling sessions requires prior notification and a substantial reason, which he believes has not been met. The President stated he is exploring all options as the Executive branch cannot directly control or penalize the self-regulating legislature.
