5月26日，参议院少数派议员在关于允许在线投票动议的激烈辩论后离席抗议。
5月26日周二，参议院少数派成员在就参议员Rodante Marcoleta提出的“在正当理由下允许参议员通过在线方式参与全体会议”的动议进行激烈辩论后，集体离席抗议。该动议于5月11日提交。
少数派参议员指责多数派强行推进规则变更。他们在联合声明中表示，这一过程看起来并不像是有序的审议，应该向公众辩论开放。参议员Kiko Pangilinan称此举为“强行推进”，参议员Panfilo Lacson率先离席，随后参议员Migz Zubiri也紧随其后。
由于法定人数不足，该动议无法进行投票。参议院临时议长Loren Legarda宣布休会，会议将于6月1日周一恢复。少数派质疑这项被“快车道”处理的提案是否旨在为面临逮捕可能的参议员谋取利益。
