STATEMENT OF SEN. FRANCIS "KIKO" PANGILINAN ON THE RECONSTITUTION OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

Ultimately, whether we agree with it or not, it is still a numbers game in the Senate and that's what happened yesterday. Yesterday's vote is also a stark reminder that, as Senators, we must remain vigilant and ensure that the Senate, as an institution, remains independent as it performs its constitutional role and duty as a check and balance on other branches. This we intend to pursue. We will support measures that we believe will be beneficial to our citizens, and we will be critical of measures we believe will not be good for the country. We will not simply oppose and obstruct for the heck of it, but neither will we support and defend the Administration right or wrong.
