I. Rationale/Background
II. Observation (to include legal bases and references)
a. Process (IRP, Parliamentary Practice)
i. The Presiding Officer made the call to order while in standing
position which is in accordance to the Robert’s Rule of Order
ii. Roll Call is an optional item in the order of business and as such it
may be postponed with. SB members signed the attendance sheet
when they came in the hall thus there is no need for the roll call.
iii. 8 members present
iv. Hon. Insoy recognized as the first assistant Majority Floor Leader in
the absence of the assigned MFL.
v. What is the role of the Majority Floor Leader?
vi. The Presiding Officer failed to inform the body of each item of
business. But the MFL reads each item of business as the session
goes on.
vii. The reading and consideration of previous minutes came after the
approval for the agenda as item 6. (baliktad)
viii. Reading and consideration of minutes may be postponed or
deferred to a later time but IT CANNOT BE DISPENSED WITH.
The item was read as Consideration of the previous minutes but the
motion made was the dispensation of the reading of the previous
minutes.
ix. Privilege Hour/Motion by Hon. Ivo (as called by the MFL and
recognized by the PO) ~ seeking preservation of the unassigned
business for the proper motion of the concern.
x. It should be Business for the Day and not Business of the Day.
Business of the Day is a part of the Calendar of Business or the
Agenda. Likewise, the Unfinished Business is a part of the Agenda
and not under the Business of the Day.
b. Content (IRP, Parliamentary Practice)
i. Motions for referral of communications were made by the SB
members but it seemed like the MFL has already determined who
is to raise a motion. No raising of hands during the session to
identify as to who will raise a motion.
 ii. Each communication could have properly included the subject of
such, along with the proponent’s name and date of communication.
iii. There should have been separate motions made for each
communication (should there be 2 communications forwarded on
the same date by the same office). Such that the two
communications, properly identified, be carried appropriately.
