Interview with Sen. Alan Peter " Companero" Cayetano

Sen. Alan:

Eversince naman ang mga presidentiables sa opposition ay gusto nga yung level playing field, so never naman silang tumigil, amd aminado din naman yung mga senador na kinausap na sila ni senator angara...so this time who will decide and what to..si senator enrile sa kanilang kagustuhan...but dati nga eh hindi nga... so obviously something happened right now whether its really because by the demand of the majority...I don't want to speculate on that right now.

yes and no kasi siyempre iniisip mo na may tiwala pa rin sila but in the sense na ...ganyan naman talaga ang ihip ng hangin talaga , I mean yung eh yung emotions...happends naman talaga eh.ibig sabihin .its part of facts of life here in the senate...or any collegial body..

last Monday may suspetsa na kami kasi tahimik...if you remember during the past few breaks...na meron tayo parateng may ingay at parating may sumbong na may umiikot...but the weeks before ang ingay ay tungkul kay usec bolante, kay gen. dela paz... walang usapin tungkol sa ano...so may nagsabi na sa akin na matagal na matagal na dito sa senate na sir, kapag ka tahimik sa senate may nagyayari...

ay yes, but all you can do is call people one by one and say kamusta...my information, kagabi lang nagyari ito...

their moved to remove him was on-going at parating may pag-uusap but the actual tipping point, according to others only happened yesterday, but...for what reason and what purspose...we can only speculate..

VIGILANT

we can be vigilant about three things, cha-cha, investigations, and the Judicial Bar Council na pipili sa 7 justices na I aapoint next year...

makikita natin later on...depende sa aksyon ng bagong leadership...

kaninang umaga, medyo malinaw na. ang celphone pagsinabi sayong cannot be reached ot in tagalog ni na maabot, its already a sign na may mangyayari...hindi na maabot, naabot na pala ng kabila..

hindi naman. I got wind of it,...so I was trying to call some people...and so usually ang personality ko, may naiinis man ay sumasagot pa rin, eh this time around...

I can call it a sudden change of emotions or sudden change of confidence in leadership. and the true reasons or the real reasons, kasi siyempre, may individual yan, may collective reasons dib a?...2010 ang pinag-uusapan ditto...may collective reasons...yung collective at kung kung merong external forces involved unfair to say it now without eveidence...but in the coming weeks until Christmas...and after Christmas dahil ang last chance ng chahca will be...we will see what is really...

wala naman doubt na certain individuals ganun ang tingin...kasi hindi pa nga nagto-top ng survey si sen. Villar, ang sinasabi na....dapat ay may level playing field...at dapat ang senate president ay hindi presidentiable...that was 2007 before june 30, so lalo na ngayong nagta-top siya...tipping point and reach the majority...so right now, we can speculate all we want but it would be unfair buit if you as us kung ano ang babantayan naming...tatlo nga, chaha, imbestigasyon...at kung sinong uupo sa jbc dahil sa 7 justices na magre-retire...at kung sinong papalit sa kanila sa susunod...so lets see in the next few days...meaning lets judge the new majority...not by speculation or inuendos, but by the actual actions that they take..meaning...hindi pa natin alam, so lets see in the next few days..

tingin ko mas lalakas kasi ngayon mas may panahon siyang umikot sa bansa...I don't think people look at candidates kung anong hawak nilang posisyon and I never felt na...malaki talaga ang advantage ni senator villar sa masa just because he's senate president

...in the minds of certain individuals from the start, that's why na coin nga nila yung salita na lets have a fair playing field...

in the monds of certain individuals from the start, that's why na coin..

as I said there are individual reasons for this, there are collection...people are willing to try a leadership style...but having said that, ang babantayan naming ay chaha, mga imbestigasyon at yung pitong uupo sa...makikita naming na anti-chacha pa rin ang senado...masasabi nating higit pa sa leadership ang usapin at merong political arrangement na naganap...

Next week pa naman hearing, so I'm willing to work overtime next week...kung sino mag papalit to brief...

I don't think so kung nakaapekto yun dapat then and there natanggal na siya...its always the 50% leadership style and the 50% beyond the leadership style...

I think habang palap[it tayo sa 2010...nakita ng mamamayan yung agad agad na pagbati ni mccaid kay obama...pero kung hihimayin mo yung eleksyon, marami ring magbabatuhan ng putik...marami ding batuhan ng putik...ang advise ko lang sa presidentiables ay hinay hinay sa pagbato ng putik, siguraduhin muna nating may eleksyon sa 2010

...at ang aking 1 and a half years na experience as blue ribbon chairman...

...tininggnan na naming yung factors...move for chacha at mga imbestigasyon...we are entering the eye of the storm..

...pati yung resolusyon...but as I said, sari sari kasi yung dahilan...leadership to...we're going to be vigilant...dahil sa pitong justices na ia-appoint

bakit eye of the storm?

...because ang hina-highlight parati dito...tumutulay sa lubid or alambre and senate president...buong supporta ng oposisyon...so nung ganyan ang nagyari...but again, hindi pwedeng yun lang ang dahilan...we will not know..we can only assume good faith as of now..

I did already. I resigned from the blue ribbon committee and education committee so that the new leadership would have a free hand, if they want me to continue or play apart by turning on the documents , assisting the new chairman, I'am ready to do that especially this week pero next week pa naman yung hearing so hindi maantala.
