00:00Okay, sir, may patanong si Nimpa. Sabi niya,
00:02Hoping ka daw ba na ma-retain mo yung pagiging Senate President?
00:10Ilalaban mo daw ba at makukuha niya kaya ang kinakailangan?
00:13It's not a question of hoping. It's a question of reality.
00:16Ulitin ko, ang Senate President dapat may kumpiyansa ng mahigit na mayuriya ng Senado.
00:22Labing tatlot higit pa.
00:24Ang pwedeng mangyari at maganap yan sa sino mang Senate President,
00:27kabila ako basta may sesyon.
00:30At dapat maliwanag yan sa bawat isa sa amin,
00:35Senate President man o hindi, nangangarap man o hindi.
00:38Binanggit mo na yung Senate Presidency.
00:40Kakapong binanggit ni Senatorial Candidate Vicente Soto III na handa siyang mag-
00:45Senator-elect.
00:46Senator-elect.
00:47Hindi pa siya proclaimed.
00:48Ah, okay. Malapit na.
00:49Sa Sabado pa.
00:50So, ang sabi niya, he's ready to accept the Senate Presidency if the numbers are there for it.
00:55So, do you think there will be a contest?
00:56I think the same statement will apply to almost all the Senators.
01:01Kahit naman sa akin nun, bago ko inisip man lang o pinangarap,
01:05hindi ko nga pinangarap na buhay yung Senate President,
01:07sino man namin numero,
01:08dapat tanggapin niya yung responsibilidad at yung hamo na yun
01:13kung nasa kanya ang tiwala ng mas nakararaming Senador.
01:26Kau na yung, kakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakak
