The walkout occurred amid discussions on a proposal from the majority bloc regarding changes in the physical attendance of senators in plenary sessions, triggering debate inside the chamber.
On her Facebook account, Ciara shared a post from the “Conservatives of the Philippines” page that praised her father’s actions during the session. The post highlighted Tito Sotto’s decision to remain in the plenary after the walkout and move for the session to be adjourned or for a quorum call.

“Former Senate President Tito Sotto, who's haters often point out his background as a comedian to smear and belittle him, showed why he is a veteran Senator. He is not just Conservative when it comes to values and principles but also to institutional rules,”
It further added:
“The Conservative Senator Sotto, the leader of the minority, flexes his experience and mastery of the rules. To be frustration of his haters who belittles him as a mere comedian.”
Another line in the post read:
“The one they call as Comedian Outsmarted their Lawyer Senator.”
The post also detailed Sotto’s long Senate tenure, citing his years of service alongside former senators Juan Ponce Enrile and Miriam Defensor Santiago.
During the session, Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano moved to “divide the house” to discuss remote participation rules. However, Sotto countered with a motion to adjourn or conduct a quorum call.
“I move to adjourn or a quorum call… That is a higher precedence,” Sotto said.
Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda noted, “I only see the minority leader representing the minority. The others had left.”
Senator Robinhood Padilla Marcoleta questioned the quorum status after the walkout, but Legarda clarified that quorum was initially present.
“The motion to adjourn is not debatable. Akala ko ba magaling sa rules?” Sotto added during the exchange.
Legarda eventually announced the adjournment of the session, stating it would resume on June 1.
After the session Ciara posted, “Proud daughter of the comedian!”
She referred to her father, which quickly circulated online and sparked mixed reactions from netizens, with some defending Tito Sotto’s credentials while others interpreted the remark differently.
Ciara Sotto is a Filipino actress, singer, and pole fitness pioneer who debuted as a teenager on the hit youth show T.G.I.S. The daughter of veteran actor and former Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III, she has built a decades-long career spanning television, film, and theater.
In another report, Joy Barcoma sparked online discussion after she shared a Facebook post recounting remarks she had heard about former Senate President Tito Sotto during a Senate tour. She claimed that Sotto was widely known for his strict approach to Senate rules, particularly when it came to decorum and parliamentary procedures. Barcoma also brought up a past Dengvaxia-related hearing, mentioning an instance where Senator Loren Legarda allegedly became emotional after a session was adjourned due to a lack of quorum under Sotto’s leadership.
Meanwhile, Gary Valenciano offered a heartfelt prayer for members of the Senate as tensions continue to rise within the chamber. The veteran performer called on God to guide lawmakers in making decisions that would serve the best interests of the country. The situation in the Senate has become more intense following reports of a proposal related to online voting among senators.
