THE Senate has limited to 30 minutes video presentations at plenary sessions after it adopted a resolution seeking to regulate the time spent on film, video and other multimedia presentations.
Senate Resolution No.165 was approved with no objections during the plenary session presided over by Senate President Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III.
The resolution, authored by Senate Majority Leader Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, provides a maximum length of 30 minutes of film clips, multimedia and other similar devices per speech, motion or question of any senator.
Sotto’s resolution explained that the move is done “in order to make efficient use of the time of the Senate,” noting that more and more senators are using multimedia presentations to help explain their ideas to the public while at the Senate floor.
