                    [Summary] => The Senate marks today its 89th anniversary.


The Senate was convened on Oct. 16, 1916 by virtue of the Jones Law — the country’s basic law or constitution from 1916 to 1935 — of that year.


A month-long celebration will start today amid a rift with Malacañang caused by President Arroyo’s issuance of Executive Order 464, barring civilian and military officials from appearing before congressional inquiries without her clearance.

The Senate was convened on Oct. 16, 1916 by virtue of the Jones Law — the country’s basic law or constitution from 1916 to 1935 — of that year.


A month-long celebration will start today amid a rift with Malacañang caused by President Arroyo’s issuance of Executive Order 464, barring civilian and military officials from appearing before congressional inquiries without her clearance.
