In the mere five days since Alan Peter Cayetano assumed the position of Senate President, several concerning events have transpired that cast a troubling shadow over his leadership. Firstly, he obstructed the serving of the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant of arrest to Ronald 'Bato' Dela Rosa. This deliberate obstruction undermines international legal commitments and fails to hold individuals accountable for alleged crimes against humanity, potentially allowing impunity and injustice to thrive.

Moreover, the atmosphere at the Senate premises has deteriorated significantly under his watch. A chaotic scenario was staged, which disturbingly resulted in a shooting incident within the Senate grounds. Such chaos not only endangers the lives of those present but also reflects poorly on the management and security protocols that are supposed to be upheld by the highest-ranking officials.

Furthermore, Alan Peter Cayetano permitted the escape of ICC suspect Bato Dela Rosa in collusion with Robinhood Padilla. This act raises serious questions about integrity and loyalty to justice, as it seemingly prioritizes individual relationships over the rule of law. These actions contribute significantly to the erosion of trust in the Senate as an institution, fueling public doubt about the integrity of ongoing processes, including the critical Impeachment Trial.

The Impeachment Trial's potential dismissal, suspected to favor Sara Duterte, adds another layer to the public's skepticism about fair governance. It is vital for the Philippine Senate to maintain its integrity and the people's trust, which has been heavily compromised under Cayetano's current leadership.

Given these troubling developments, it is paramount for the Senate to re-evaluate and prioritise restoring its commitment to justice and accountability. We call upon the concerned authorities to consider our petition to remove Alan Peter Cayetano as Senate President in order to preserve the integrity and respect the institution demands.
