由于参议员Jinggoy Estrada被捕，菲律宾参议院多数派缺席，导致6月1日的会议未能召开。仅有11名少数派成员出席，使得参议院因法定人数不足而无法开会。等待期间，大厅内的空调和WiFi也被切断。
参议院议长Alan Peter Cayetano发表声明，敦促少数派参议员一同保持沉默，以抗议Estrada在参议院办公场所内被捕。他将参议院描述为一个地位平等的机构，不应被强迫服务于外部利益。
少数派参议员一直等到晚上7点才离开。他们将多数派的缺席称为对职责的抵制，并指出重要的法案和人事任命仍处于搁置状态。参议院定于6月3日休会。
Cayetano的这一举动让人想起2020年发生的一次类似事件，当时他作为众议院议长，在Lord Allan Velasco发起领导权挑战期间下令切断了公共设施的供应。Estrada因涉及防洪项目的贪污和非法敛财指控而被捕。
社交媒体X上的讨论集中在Jinggoy Estrada被捕后，参议院多数派在6月1日的会议上集体缺席一事。少数派参议员批评这种缺席是一种抵制行为，导致法案停滞；记者和评论员则强调了空荡的席位、法定人数的缺失以及对执政重点的质疑。
