Recently, the House of Representatives encountered a challenge of leadership. The current speaker Rep. Allan Peter Cayetano was supposedly needs to step down because of the term sharing agreement with Rep. Lord Velasco.
Since the start of the Duterte Administration, there was a clear mandate for the speakership of the house to be shared between two leaders- Ref. Cayetano and Rep. Velasco.

ReplyDeletea) based on what I searched on a gentleman's agreement is an informal and legally non-binding agreement between two or more parties. It say's that it is typically oral and written. So when it says agreement, both parties agreed on the same accord, the agreement might be written on a classified file with a third party involved and the trust of the two separate group relies upon the honor of both sides. For me, a gentleman's agreement is still applied on the situation, if and only if the 1st party decides to abide to the agreement, if the said party violates the agreement that's were the agreement would be void. But as we can see on the plenary, there were people who voted for Rep. Cayetano to be the ongoing Representative until the term is finished. I think there isn't a gentleman's agreement at all in the first place, because people are complex creatures, that tend to bend, change, and react at most times and depends on the situation.
b)I think since there is a situation happening on the plenary because of the said term-sharing or gentleman's agreement, some of them will now support the current representative that before support the next representative, I think there will be a lot misunderstanding and arguments that will happen in the next few days, the said gentleman's agreement will be void, or the current representative will abide with the term-sharing and will pull-out to the plenary. I think it will also make the people think of who would be the person worth of the position more, now that they saw what are the current situation on the house of representatives.

According to my research Gentlemen's Agreement is Gentlemen's agreements are informal, unwritten agreements between two parties to undertake a transaction or other commitment. These agreements are not legally binding but are instead backed by the integrity, social norms, and peer pressure of those involved and their social networks. Yes it applies, mostly in a group of friends like 2 guys have interest in 1 girl but they keep arguing that she is mine, so they make an agreement that if that girl confess to who is he likes then that agreement must be followed.

I think the possible consequence of the current state of affairs of the house of representative to the people in terms of term sharing, Maybe Sen. Cayetano hiding something to people that he don’t want to expose like he has an agenda on his own that’s why he don’t want to give-way on Rep. Velasco. Because for me why would you resist that term sharing if you don’t hide something that the people will know.

A. Does the conditions for the so called gentleman's agreement still applies?
- No. They are tangled in a dispute over a gentlemen’s agreement and conteding in an ungentlemanly manner. Per the gentlemen’s agreement, Velasco need pass down to the speakership as Cayetano steps down. But instead, Cayetano still wants the position all over to himself.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people?
-The catfight over the agreement causes confusion and lack of discipline and contradicting what "being together as one" moral on Filipinos. Cooperation under the Congress should be uptight and respected so people could look up to them and give their full trust but instead they showed how shallow they can be over a position where they should be helping one another. They have given the people huge disappointment.

ReplyDeleteA. For this particular issue, it seems that the so called "gentleman's agreement" did not apply. It is clear that they had an agreement, along with the President Duterte, that they will have a term sharing as the House Speaker. But then, it was clear to us that Cayetano did not want to resign. And on top of that, the President did not also allow Cayetano to resign, as well as the other people who voted for him to remain. With this, we can easily assume that one of the party in the agreement did not comply to the said agreement.
B. With this issue, it would be possible for the people to lose their trust more on the government. There was an issued agreement but they did not seem to comply to this which is somewhat unacceptable. Lawmakers even had a voting on whether Cayetano should remain as the house speaker or not. This is completely unnecessary and should not have been done in the first place as an agreement was initially issued regarding this matter.

- This was a clear example of how ungentlemanly people act. As to what is happening the gentleman's agreement was not applied here, but it should. Government positions are no joke, it is for the sake of the country. Starting a hearing or a meeting to plea for extensions or for personal reasons are not valid to accept his demands. It was also uncalled for the person on the other side to make his move that would portray him as an immature person.

The gentleman's agreement didn't happen at the recent senate discussion
because of sentimental reasons but the conditions of the agreement
MUST still be followed because forming a contract requires a condition
and both parties must come to an agreement and sign the contract to
cement its effectiveness. The condition still applies and it should not be
hindered by one's personal reasons.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
Possible consequences are the people will start to doubt both house
representative; Cayetano and Velasco's ways of handling the position and
it will really degrade the people's morale and they will think that both
house representatives are just fighting for the sake of their personal gain
because the context of the issue right now is they are using their personal
reasons just to stay in position in the congress.

A. Does the conditions for the so called gentleman's agreement still applies?
In their sense right now, no. The gentleman's agreement is no longer in effect. As per Cayetano's speech. The gentleman's agreement is that the turnover or the resignation of Cayetano is supposed to be moved on up until his 50th birthday. Although wasn't heard enough side for the opposing side Velasco's. It is clear that there are no agreement in both party. Velasco wants the position as the speaker of the house and in regard on the first agreement which is the term sharing first 15 months for Cayetano and then 20 months for him. But, Cayetano for some personal reason and tantrums of wanting him to be still the speaker on his birthday is what's making this dispute.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people?
-The dispute between the two parties fighting over the position of the speaker of the house is too chaotic and very rowdy and also childish. Upon thinking rationally, one of Cayetano's reason for still staying on the position is too childish and very informal. If that's all it takes to extend a position, then surely on the future generation someone will surely use this as reference. Also, these speech of Cayetano wasted lots of time and resources to do so and to put his tantrums on the congress. Lastly, this is too disappointing on how the leader of the country is acting amidst the pandemic. They are fighting for something so childish, not technically nonsense. I think it would have been wise if they complied or went with the initial agreement.

A.) No, there are many factors why gentleman agreement doesn't apply anymore, the very main factor was because of the president's request to delay the term sharing which resulted to the argument of house representative Allan Peter Cayetano and Congressman Velasquez. If their argument have different results than what was supposed to be before their agreement then the gentleman's agreement would be nulled.
B.) Because of the disagreement between house representative Allan Peter Cayetano and Congressman Velasquez the House of Representatives would be divided and their objectives would differ from each other as they would prioritize their selfish benefits rather than the benefit of the whole nation.

No. A gentleman's agreement works fine if both parties are satisfied. Based on the issue of Cayetano's speakership, Cayetano wants to extend his term until December where in fact, as stated on their agreement, he was supposed to step down on September 30, 2020.

As leaders and as examples for the Filipino people, they are supposed to abide with what they have agreed especially if it is forecasted publicly. Dishonoring the agreement would really make the people confuse and possibly lose their trust to the government.

After all the unnecessary chaos they've all been through, it's safe to say that no matter how one seems to understand the question will always answer that no, a gentleman agreement didn't sustain after their alleged conversations and agreements. It's ironic how the men under the premise that they should act as gentlemen go ahead and do just the opposite of that. Highlighting the fact that their petty fight has nothing to do whatsoever with the situation at hand—which was all for the future of the country. Cayetano's reason for staying as the house speaker (which one could tell that this is where the gentleman's contract was already becoming useless), is clearly just a ruse because who would want to believe that he still wants to be in the position in time of his 50th birthday. Someone clearly needs to tell him that the situation he's in now is certainly, and never will be, a rite of passage.

This just amplifies how much of a laughing stock the Philippine government is right now. And these childish acts lead to divided opinions when it comes to the masses of the citizens. This act they put up is completely disappointing and maddening. It's purely a shame how so called "leaders" who should be acting like "leaders" act like no brainers who argue with no sensible cause and reason on a sidewalk instead. And they do all of this for what? Power? Money? They all think they're slick but in actuality, they're parading themselves wide in the open like people performing in a circus.

A. Does the conditions for the so called gentleman's agreement still applies?
-No, the so called gentleman's agreement does not exist in this senate discussion. Gentleman is a distant word to describe it. The current house speaker, Alan Cayetano, in my opinion is defending his position up until 2021, since his reasons for the term extension is not valid. Cayetano said that even the president himself is pleading for velasco to let Cayetano extend his term. Which is an unlikely scenario, even if it is Cayetano, still the house representative don't have to mention it. Since, Velasco has yet to give his speech I can only speculate. In addition, instead of talking things out, Velasco decided to undermine Cayetano during and before his speech. Which is an ungentleman-and-unprofessional like behavior for a public servant. Basically, this so-called politicians are just trying to preserve their power calling it for the "general public", when in fact they are there for their own self interests.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people?
-Possible consequences based on the current state of the house of representatives, is the disappointment of the general public, on how the politicians in their own country handle's conflict between two parties. Another one would be mass confusion, As per Cayetano said, putting Velasco at the position would confuse the general order of the government. Such as delay in projects and programs, it is true. However, based on this statement, it seems that the government has no plan of action or procedures, on changing the house of representatives. Since this type of thing requires an extensive and elaborate plan for smooth transition. In which the government is clearly lacking.

A. Does the conditions for the so called gentleman's agreement still applies?
- Before this, a gentleman's agreement is defined as an informal but legal confirmation and mutual acceptance between 2 or more people/parties. The agreement between these two was From what I've read is that Cayetano was supposed to serve as Speaker for 15 months (1 year and 3 months) and Velasco for 21 months (1 year and 9 months) after Cayetano's, but it seems like this "gentleman's agreement" didn't really ended up happening easily for these two parties. While they did agree on this on the first (even with President Duterte's agreement) of sharing their terms, Cayetano didn't want to resign by the time he needs to. This then supported further supported by Duterte's agreement of letting him stay if more house members agreed to Cayetano's extension . These statements already shows that the gentleman's agreement they made is already broken, since one of the members didn't want to comply to the agreement at all. Simply, no, the agreement doesn't apply anymore.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people?
- For the people: It further shows the great conflict in the Philippines' government. People can be disappointed and can see why they shouldn't be trusting the government and doubt it more: simply because the government cannot even uphold their own agreements or words. Cooperation on the higher ups would also be seen as non-existent again (backup by previous conflicts and issues in the government), ultimately causing a "gap" between people and their own supporters.
Outside the people, the government can also proceed to "bent" or not comply to more agreements if this continues, and can become a start of continuous chains similar to it, which might affect the country's people.

A. A gentleman's agreement is an informal non-binding type of agreement that uses no written records, just verbal, thus being prone to be broken without facing a substantial consequence. In this case, no, the gentleman's agreement doesn't apply anymore. Current house rep Allan Cayetano doesn't want to step down despite the initial agreement of passing the position he holds once the pledged time came; As such, the gentleman's agreement is not met and no longer applies anymore.
B. This event will most definitely raise many eyebrows not only from the legal institutions and groups, but also from the public and the social media, causing a widespread of rumors and decline of trust to our own government. In the first place, a gentleman's agreement only should not be used for appointing government officials as it is very prone to be broken. A high position like that holds a lot of responsibility and trust from the people, and disgraceful acts like this ruins its integrity and our view of cooperation within the government and its officials.

A. Does the conditions for the so called gentleman's agreement still applies?
--No, the gentleman's agreement was very clear within the 15-21 term-sharing agreement. The term-sharing was brokered by President Duterte. Cayetano's reason for not following the so called gentleman's agreement leads to breaking the signed paper. Velasco was quiet within the whole negotiation leading to a questionable character explained by Cayetano. On the other hand, Velasco wanted to work in silence and defended the lies of Cayetano within his speech. It was a theatric play for the speech of Cayetano said by the other Representatives as it was not relevant for now. Cayetano kept on insisting the coup plots lead by Velasco, well in fact there was no evidence.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representative to the morale of the people?
--People may look at the House of Representative and its speakers as getting upon its self-interest within the position. Disappointment within the people who are expecting to focus more on the problem being faced by the Filipinos. On the other hand, the budget may be altered within the terms of Velasco and change the allocated budget in his term. It will result into change of plan within the focus of the budget as Velasco may focus into another problem. The projects of the current administration may be delayed. However, there's no extensive plan given by the current administration being shown to the general public. That is why there's an allocated time for Cayetano to have a better communication for transition.

The moment that Cayetano insisted that he wants to retain in his position is when the gentleman agreement broke. A Gentleman's Agreement is "an informal legally non-binding agreement between two people". In this case, the agreement was supposedly that Cayetano was to serve as the House speaker for one term, while Velasco would take over for the next. However Speaker Allan Cayetano further insisted that he would "want" to take over for the next term, terminating the gentleman's agreement between him and Velasco. What's worse is that Cayetano's plea for extending his term for the position was supported by both the President himself and the congress, which ultimately lost the word of honor between Cayetano and Velasco.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
Due to the loss of the "word of honor" per se and the fact that people with the position can back up a person's request will just lead to the further distrust of the people of the nation towards future topics and agreements. The people would begin doubting the word of the government itself is circumstances like this would happen more frequently, specifically how Cayentano acted during his speech and how he still had the strong support of those who are in the higher position backing him up. One could begin to suspect that there are parties within the government that would set aside things like word of honor just so they could stay within power, it is what others say as a "power trip", which would affect the morale of the people greatly.

- Gentleman's agreement is an informal agreement between two parties. It is typically oral. It relies upon the honor of the parties for its fulfillment, rather than being in any way enforceable. In this case of current speaker Rep. Allan Peter Cayetano, the so called gentleman's agreement does not apply anymore. A gentleman's agreement works if both parties are satisfied or both of the parties fulfilled what they agreed upon but based on the issue of Cayetano's speakership, he wants to extend his term but it is stated on their agreement that he should step down on September 30, 2020. Since one of the party did not comply with the agreement, the gentleman's agreement does not apply anymore with this case.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
- I think the consequences of the current state of affairs to the morale of the people is that the people will be very disappointed on how the politicians manage the conflicts between two parties and the general public might doubt the capabilities of both representatives because on how they deal the conflict between two parties even though we are in the middle of a pandemic. We are in the middle of a pandemic and this is how they spent their time and resources. So people might think they are not capable or the right person for their position.

ReplyDeleteA. Does the conditions for the so called gentleman's agreement still applies? Explain your answer.
-A gentleman's agreement can still be applied given that both parties acknowledge the agreement that they decided upon. In the case of Rep. Allan and Rep. Velasco it is stated since the start of Duterte term that it is mandated for them to share the position. For me the gentleman's agreement is not necessary because Rep. Cayetano stated that he will resign on his own in one of the hearings.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
-Rep. Cayetano is backed by supermajority and minority block that voted for Rep. Cayeto to stay and disregard his letter for resignation. This causes confusion and quarrel among the supporters of Rep. Cayetano and the supporters of Rep. Velasco making the House of Representatives in turmoil that is not needed in this time of pandemic.

Nograles points out, last week, he said Speaker Cayetano was offered to resign, but he did not resign, it seems like a stunt or a show Speaker Cayetano just wants to pull off.

People could lose the most important foundation between them and the government, their trust, and would probably feel disappointed because as a government’s official, it’s essential for you to ensure that every problem would be solved decently. Leaders have a firm commitment to do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason and they are supposed to be role models to turn the country into greatness. To do this, they must show them the way by doing it their selves. Set as a good example and be the leader they should be.

First of all, a gentlemen's agreement is a legal agreement of both parties. So, it is better if the both sides or parties are satisfied and complied. Based on the issue, Rep. Allan Peter Cayetano wants to extend his term until December. Stated in a gentlemen's agreement, Mr. Cayetano needs to step down and pass the position to Mr. Velasco but instead of stepping down Mr. Cayetano doesn't want to end his term too soon aside from the fact it is in the agreement. So the gentlemen's agreement doesn't applies.

The cooperation and unity in the congress is a must. They should follow the laws, rules and also the agreement. It will be confusing to the Filipino people if they don't agree, satisfy and unite in an agreement. The public will think that they don't have discipline when in comes to handling serious matters.

No it doesn't, as much as there is an agreement made in front of the President, the agreement is just mere words kept in the morals of the two congressmen.

Yet, in a government like what we have today, the loopholes of the rules can still be a way for Velasco to sit.

Unlike the Congress of the United States, the Philippine Congress filled with multiple parties. Cayetano and Velasco are on the same party.

In addition to that, it was clear that Cayetano still want his position in the congress and President Duterte himself favored the plea of Cayetano to remain in his position. From this, you can conclude that the said agreement wasn’t really applied at all.

This unprofessional act of him made the agreement ineffective. Even the President involvement in breaking the agreement reflects how untrusty our government officials are.

According to their term sharing agreement, APC was supposed to step down at the end of September (so that Velasco could replace him as the House Speaker Rep). But he refused to do so and wanted to stay longer on the position. Due to the fact that one of them acted upon one's self-interest and beyond their agreement, while the other was unsatisfied with it, I think why the conditions for the gentleman's agreement does not apply.

The possible consequences to the morale of the people is they'd think that it's okay to act and do things as they wish, even if it's outside of the conditions in certain agreements. Because why wouldn't they, when even an elected government official couldn't abide to a simple gentleman's agreement. Our government officials must think twice, even thrice, before acting upon their self-interest. They should be wary of how they act because they are public servants, and should set as an example to the people they're governing.

B. It may change the people's view of how the house of representatives works. The term sharing via gentlemen's agreement is a bad idea because it only shows how the power could be shared and passed down to the favorites of the people in power.

A. Does the conditions for the so called gentleman's agreement still applies? Explain your answer.
I think the gentleman`s agreement was not applied, because based on Collinsdictionary.com a gentlemen's agreement is an informal agreement in which people trust one another to do what they have promised. And it is obviously not applied on this situation, Rep. Cayetano must have the ball to follow what is the agreement. In other hand, Rep. Cayetano have a point on what he was stated. Term sharing will be change because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We all know that all of us was hit by the effect of pandemic, so some of the plan under their expected time will be delay. And in addition, he is correct that if he did not finish his task as a representative it is not sure that all will be according to the plan because it may be changes because they have different thinking. But in overall, the term sharing here made by gentlemen`s agreement was not applied.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
This only shows that our government or the members in the house of the representatives do not have their word and may change depend on what he/she was thinking. For me the effect of that event to me as a citizen is, you can break your own rule if and only if you have a reason, A VALID REASON. Which is sometimes good because just like what we tackle about good and right, we can apply it here. Yes Rep. Cayetano have a good intension because he mined us, he mined the fund that it must allocated proportionally and no one will left behind. But in the end he was wrong for that extension because they have a man to man agreement and as a honorable person they must follow their agreement.

The conditions of gentleman's agreement doesn't apply when one party doesn't want to cooperate. Gentleman's agreement is when both party will benefit from it but in this situation, only one party benefits from it. Rep.

Base on what I have search a gentleman’s agreement is an informal, often unwritten agreement or transaction backed only by the integrity of the counterparty to actually abide by its terms. It said to informal or unofficial agreement base on the two parties. In some cases a gentleman’s man agreement is still applicable it may depend on how ones agreement reaches it conclusion where a choice that needed trust, but when it comes to politics it is hard to trust someone that will always based on logic and facts in making a decision. They base their decision on laws and rational resources. A gentleman’s agreement is not based on formalities and in which can be change when time passes.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people?
There will be a huge exchange of information in social media, news and other platforms that some will agree and disagree on the decision that has been made, misunderstanding and spread of fake news because of too much information that had been gather. People will start to doubt the decision that had been made and will lead to fight between people and politicians in the government.

The gentleman agreement would mean an agreement that is based on trust and is not in writing: We came to a gentleman's agreement that if anybody else wanted the job, I would stand aside. In this case, gentleman's agreement does not apply because they had a deal supposing the speakership term-sharing, but Cayetano instead delivered speech against Velasco as he want to extend his position as the house speaker. He did offer his resignation as a speaker but was rejected by the lawmakers making it seem like many lawmakers want his leadership after all. But on Tuesday night, September 29, President Rodrigo Duterte asked Cayetano to give way. The President's nod for Velasco, however, was no match for Cayetano's influence in the House of Representatives. A manifesto was circulated that 203 members expresses their support for Cayetano while 160 members or less supports Velasco which could dictate the battle for the leadership of the chamber.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
This type of conflict between the leaders is what enrage the morale of the people. The credibility of the government would be questionable because one cannot abide the honor of a simple agreement. Even though we say that Cayetano has backed up by many lawmakers, we cannot simply ignore that his term would extend just because he has many supporters because the agreement happened beforehand. The people therefore would begin to doubt the government and its system if this would happen often. People, like myself, would be very disappointed on how the politicians manage the conflicts between two parties and doubt the capabilities of both representatives because on how they deal the conflict between two parties even though we are in the middle of a pandemic. People may see it as a greed of power, giving them more the thinking that the government only seeks power and money without giving concern for its nation's people.

No, the gentleman's agreement has been void of it's effect. It doesn't applies now, because as the agreement states, Rep. Allan Peter Cayetano vowed to step down and give way to Rep. Lord Allan Velasco and his last term should be September 30, 2020. Both parties is in a dispute and for some reason Rep. Allan Peter Cayetano is still not giving up to his position. It is so ungentlemanly and unprofessional of him to go back on his words just because of a petty reasons.

They will be disappointed and may lead to many people distrusting the Philippine Government. They can't even handle this dispute, so how can they focus in the problem that Filipino were facing? This also may lead for people to speculate that the Government which is a public servant, may go back on their words. Even an agreement can't stop them from what they want, what more if they face those people who have no power? It greatly shows their morale, and as we can observe, many people really tend to mimic the so called "trend" which is affecting their morale. As the "leaders" they should be a role model for the masses, but what they've shown was a conduct that is not a suit to be a public servant or a "leader" should be.

A. Does the conditions for the so called gentleman's agreement still applies? Explain your answer.
– In my opinion, the condition for the so called gentleman’s agreement will be considering as void or will not be applicable. According to the articles that I read in some major news outlet, the so-called gentleman’s agreement between Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano and Rep. Lord Allan Jay Vellasco of term sharing will be effective on October 14, 2020, after the hearing of the national budget on the House of Representatives will be approved before the expected date. However, on the current update on the issue, the resignation filed by Rep. Cayetano on September 30, 2020 made a big impact on the decision of the house. Majority of the lawmakers didn’t accept the resignation of Rep. Cayetano because most of them wants him to end his term at the expected date while some wants him to be the leader until the end of the term. Because of this reason, many of the lawmakers expecting to not consider the term sharing agreement or the agreement will not be applicable. In addition, the reason why most of them didn’t consider the agreement is because for them, the agreement is just informal and didn’t go through any legal process. This is the explanation why the so-called gentleman’s agreement will not be applicable. Despite that, Rep. Velasco still stand his ground and says that this agreement is supported by President Duterte so no matter what reason or even the vote of majority of the representatives at the house, his term for being the House Leader will happen and applicable in the expected time.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
– The people or the citizen will have the confusion, or worst case scenario, the situation will cause arguments for the next progress of this issue. Some of them may approve the reason of most of the representatives to not end the term of Rep. Cayetano and will not consider the gentleman’s agreement in 2019 between Rep. Velasco of term sharing whereas, Rep. Cayetano will seat for the House Leadership for the next 15 months and Rep. Velasco for the remaining 21 months, until the end of the term. The citizen will have the confusion because they will be baffled of which side should they consider or which side does have the right grounds. They will be also upset because this issue is the main reason why the budget hearing is postponed. The assumptions of the people that this current state of affairs of the House of Representatives is just a “melodrama” made by politicians to corrupt the national budget, will also be heightened for the next days of this issue.

A gentlemen's agreement is an informal arrangement which is based on the trust between both or all parties involved. It is often unwritten and only backed only by the integrity of the parties in abiding its terms. In the case between House Speaker Allan Peter Cayetano and Marinduque Representative Lord
Allan Velasco, their agreement of term-sharing in the position in the lower chamber, the gentlemen's agreement does not apply anymore after knowing that majority of the lawmakers disapproved his resignation as the house speaker. Despite the agreement being backed up by President Duterte, it would not still be applied knowing that it is not legally binding.

This issue may cause people to feel distrust and disappointment knowing that this agreement causes the delayed national budget hearing. It may also cause people to think that some politicians are not true to their words, despite having informal agreements which aren't legally bind, people may come up with the idea that politicians may not do what they promised to people since they can't even fulfill their words to their co-politicians. Also, it would affect the other party's trust to be broken as well as affect their relationship because of this issue.

Alan Peter Cayetano was meant to step down this month, but due to sentimental reasons, he’d like to remain speaker until he turns 50. But Rep. Lord Allan Velasco wanted to be Speaker on November 9. Per the gentlemen’s agreement, Velasco need not to get fresh voted but a smooth transition to the Speakership when Cayetano steps down. The gentleman’s agreement should be respected as it is an important matter and a sacred one. But in this condition with both parties with different motives couldn’t even come in mutual agreement, therefore, the conditions for the so-called gentleman’s agreement did not apply.

• The raging controversy at the House of Representatives over the Speakership issues suggests virtue of gentlemen’s agreement forged between Rep. Allan Peter Cayetano and Rep. Lord Allan Velasco. Ironically, the condition for the so called gentlemen’s agreement does not apply as I see it, based on how they salivate for the House Speakership. Their agreement states that Cayetano should be stepping down this month, but it appears that he wants to stay on, at least until December. But Velasco has not shown a gentlemanly attitude of giving way to Cayetano. A gentlemen’s agreement is informal and typically oral or written form of agreement between 2 or more parties. The only concern is the budget for 2021 but it turned out concerning their birthdays and other political issues, they even mentioned names that were not part of the agreement and making it a big fuss.

• Respectively, people might consider that the House of Representatives is just a playground for two children fighting over the speakership of the House of Representatives as if the position was a toy. They just proved to the public that they are not worthy for the position. Talking about leadership, if these gentlemen honestly care for the country upholding the term-sharing agreement they could just demand for support from their colleagues in working together for the 2021 budget instead of making it diverse issue. We truly can’t trust politicians when it comes to power, money and authority.

A. The two are just merely showing that they both wanted the position. The gentlemen's agreement is visible, but the value of their self is much more visible that they wanting the position so bad. Despite the terms and conditions when should Cayetano would step down while when should Velasco will be the new person to be appointed, the gentlemen's agreement is being disregarded by one of them --- Velasco since it is not yet his term base on their agreement. President Duterte is involved , that's why the agreement between the two is affected.
B. There are possibilities that people would not really mind the issue that much since we are currently facing a pandemic. This issue must be done on due process since it is a very important position inside the congress. People might think that it is easy to put people down from their position and put another one "who is much better" than the other. It just shows us that, these politicians are powerful enough that people would be affected and think that there are possibilities that the government has the capability to control everyone/anyone on anytime that they want.

Cayetano's term was supposed to end on October 14 and he wants to extend to December and fix the budget for 2021.

- The budget was one of the major problems that the organization and the country is facing. By watching the speech of Cayetano, he was pointing out that during the conversation with Velasco and the President, while he was explaining the reason why his term should be extended ( to fix the budget for 2021), to be prepared for any crisis that the country may face like Yolanda, Velasco was still forcing the 15-21 term sharing agreement with the speaker. This whole charade would influence a deep descent in the morale of those that are being governed by the house of representatives. The whole country can be affected when someone who isn't knowledgeable, dedicated and passionate to their country men is in a high position.

Based from the website of Investopedia, the Gentleman's Agreement is an informal and frequently unwritten arrangement, exchange upheld just by the respectability of the counterparty to really maintain its terms.

Lord Allan Jay Velasco of Marinduque of contesting the speakership. According to the article on Manila Standard, Cayetano and Velasco had an agreement of the term-sharing as the speaker in the Lower House, it was made 15 months ago. Obviously, on the issue the gentleman's agreement cannot be applied because Cayetano tried to resign but majority of the lawmakers opposed it. Also, even though the agreement between Cayetano and Velasco is witnessed and sealed by President Duterte, it is still not be considered because Gentleman's Agreement is not legally binding.

The issue will make people think that politicians are not a man for their words because even the agreement is just a casual or oral arrangement, it should be followed because the agreement is a promise that must be fulfilled. Additionally, the people might doubt and question the politicians, even the whole government to every words will say in the near future.

In the situation it shows that Rep.

Lord Allan Velasco wants to be the speaker on November 9, 2020 and will take over the place of Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano. Gentleman’s agreement is a part of an unspoken agreement by convention or through mutually beneficial etiquette. The essence of a gentlemen's agreement is that it relies upon the honor of the parties for its fulfillment, rather than being in any way enforceable. So, to replace Rep. Alan Cayetano they will need to vote for Rep. Lord Allan Velasco, If Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano will step down. We can see that Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano and Rep. Lord Allan Velasco they did not honor the essence of gentleman’s agreement and has different motives that’s why the condition for the so-called gentleman's agreement does not apply.

This means there are no written terms and conditions of the contract, which oftentimes means the terms cannot be evidenced. As the look of the current situation, it doesn't seem like the Gentlemen's Agreement Rep. Cayetano and Velasco had still applies. Many things are being depended on whether it is still a good idea to push the agreement. One of it is that we are currently having a pandemic, and if the Speaker was to be changed, it will create trouble for the budget deliberation. Pres. Duterte also asked Rep. Velasco for the changing of seat to be pushed on December for that reason, but he seems to be in a hurry to take over. Also, it was also voted absurd in the congress for Rep. Cayetano's resignation letter. It seems like the congress doesn't want to change the Speaker in the middle of this crisis, with a person they are unsure of the capabilities and actions of, unbuilt trust and with potentials not shown. In short, many factors today are to be considered whether it is a good idea. It is not about the agreement anymore but the welfare of the majority and country.

Explanations are also not spread among the people so lots of misunderstanding may happen. We are in the middle of a great crisis. We can't risk the position of the Speaker right now. There's still lots of time and a better time. Rep. Velasco, pushing the agreement, is a personal matter. This is the time to think critically and look at the factors and possible effects that can happen. This is a time to be professional. Having someone in the seat with insufficient knowledge, expertise, and experience in being a Speaker, can hugely affect everyone' morale. Although others' trust may decrease if the agreement is not fulfilled, as what I've said, with today's situation, there are many factors to depend on and the people needs to understand the situation.

Gentleman's Agreement is about informal agreement (verbal agreement) of two both parties, also its about a trust. But the moment that Rep.

- Definitely yes, for as according to my research the definitions of gentleman's agreement are generally informal, only made orally, and it's not legally binding. In line with the news of Rappler posted online, President Rodrigo Duterte only asked Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano to give way to Marinduque Representative Lord Allan Velasco as the new Speaker in a meeting he held with the lawmakers. Both parties agreed before the President on October 14. Cayetano was supposed to serve as Speaker for 15 months, and Velasco for 21 months after that. The agreement is shared between these three but to the Cayetano camp's surprise, lawmakers allied with Velasco told media that Velasco was the new Speaker. But Cayetano has the backing of the supermajority and minority blocs, who say the speakership must not change in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis.
Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque had previously said Duterte was inclined to let Cayetano stay on if he had the support of more House members. MalacaƱang had advised Velasco to gather more support for his Speakership in the lower chamber.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
- The possibilities are such make confusions to the people and the sense of whether to trust the government officials or not because of the said issues whereas they lack formal and/or legal agreements. This may lead people to distrust the officials in terms of announcing important and legal matters that have to do with the country's situation. Then we call them lawmakers, but purposely don't provide any legal papers in agreement that may testify their bidding as government officials. I may stand on what Speaker Cayatano's choice not to step down in the midst of pandemic and also the fact that there is no any legal voting that happens in choosing the new speaker. I mean, you cannot just claim to be in that position because the President told you to, even the words of the President is powerful, you must go have a legal process and great qualities and requirements to gain a position in the government. Its the whole country you are going to take responsibility for and yet you don't undergo any legal process and just take an easy way to go in? Very unethical how our government officials can be and do these things. I am not surprised anymore but knowing that they are still doing this sort of unethical movement is purely awful.

On this issue I think it will have a big problem for the people because the speakers are our way to communicate to the higher government officials but now that on this kind of situation we're on a pandemic crisis so why bother replacing speaker's position why not focus on the problem our country encounter. This issue must be done on due process since it is a very important position inside the congress.

A. Does the conditions for the so called gentleman's agreement still applies? Explain your answer.
Supposedly, the first term expires on September 30 and Speaker Allan Cayetano was not able to step down of house leadership because of the disapproval of his allies. This shows the gentleman’s agreement does not now applies and it is broken deal. If he is truly sincere in offering his resignation, he should have convinced his allies to honor what is agreed before between on them with Rep. Velasco. Also, President Duterte did show some statement that the term-sharing should be moved on December because of the passage of the National Budget. Because of this, President Duterte’s allies will support the extension of leadership of Speaker Cayetano at the same time breaking the gentleman’s agreement between Rep. Velasco. For me, the speech given by Speaker Cayetano was just a show and has really no intention to step down.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
Because of this event, the trust of the people towards the House of Representatives will be lost as the good leaders should the one shows the good values on their constituents. Trust and honor are one of the good values our leaders should have. Suspicions from the people will arise especially that the National Budget is the reason why all the affairs in the House of Representatives is happening. This will get worse if Speaker Cayetano will still not step down on this coming October 14.

According on what I researched on a “Gentleman's Agreement” is an off-the-cuff and legally non-binding agreement between two or more parties. It said that it's typically oral and written. Meanwhile, a gentleman's agreement remains applied on things, if and as long as the first party decides to abide to the agreement, if the said party violates the agreement that's where the agreement would be void. Moreover, Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco, reminded once more Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano to honor a “gentleman’s agreement” for term-sharing of the speakership because the two leaders prepare to satisfy President Duterte to seek anew another solomonic decision on the leadership issue that has threatened to divide Malacanang allies within the House of Representatives. In the other hand, as we will see on the plenary, there have been people that voted for Rep. Cayetano to be the continued Representative until the term is finished. Overall, I think there's not a gentleman's agreement within the least in the first place, because people are complex creatures, that tend to bend, change, and react at the most times and depends on things.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
As per Alan Peter Cayetano said, putting Velasco at the position would confuse the overall order of the government, like delay in projects and programs. However, supported this statement, it seems that the government has no plan of action or procedures, on changing the house of representatives. Since this sort of thing requires an in depth and elaborate plan for smooth transition. During which the government is clearly lacking. Argument between the two parties fighting over the position for speaker are too chaotic and really rowdy and also childish. Overall, thinking rationally, one among Cayetano's reason for still staying on the position is just really informal.

No, they are twisted in an argument about an honorable men's arrangement and fighting in an ungentlemanly way. Per the respectable men's understanding, Velasco need go down to the speaker transport as Cayetano ventures down. Be that as it may, rather, Cayetano actually needs the place all over to himself.
B.
From this topic, I figure it will have a major issue for the individuals on the grounds that the speakers are our approach to impart to the higher government authorities yet now that on this sort of circumstance we're on a pandemic emergency so why trouble supplanting speaker's position why not center around the issue our nation experience. This issue must be done on fair treatment since it is a significant situation inside the congress.

According to my research Gentleman's agreement is an informal and legally non-binding agreement between two or more parties. It is typically oral, but it may be written or simply understood as part of an unspoken agreement by convention or through mutually-beneficial etiquette but in the scenario of going on right now my answer is no because our current speaker still not going down to his position because his party dont want him to even though they agree on gentleman's agreement for sharing their term on that position
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
For me the main possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the house of representatives to the morale of the people is for the people to lose their trust on government. It is just simply they are not credible anymore by violating gentleman's agreement because gentleman's agreement is about giving trust to each party but they failed to do that that's why how will them expect to trust by the people if they are not responsible for the trust give on to them.

No, since the agreement is already broken, Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano, should step down after the end of September but President Duterte told him not to and step down in December due to the crisis of Covid 19. Cayetano also stated that Velasco wanted the positive for self interest and not for the sole interest of people in the Philippines.

A. In my opinion YES, gentleman’s agreement still applies because it is not only the honor we talking about here and also from the beginning both of them agreed even President Duterte also approved. Before, the House of the Representative did not arrange any voting system for the new Speaker so it means they granted this kind of arrangement. And now, when Cong. Cayetano tried to resigned to his position, most of his colleague reject his resignation and do the voting. What is the use of agreement either verbal or written if they are not following it or honor it.
But the only question is if Cong. Velasco will be the new Speaker, his colleague will follow him or they will try to remove him?!
B. If the House of Representatives still continue this argument then the citizen of the Philippines will suffer the consequences. Such us delay of 2021 Budget approval which the local & state government uses to help their people, infrastructure, health, education and etc. Other bill of law that are pending for the approval of the House will be delayed also. It is like domino effect unless they will sort it out it right away but I don’t think they can. Unless, the pride of the Representative understand that it is not them they, it is the citizen of the Philippines are more affected on this foolish act. In the future, no one will follow this kind of agreement because of situation. But I think, they should do the old fashioned way in appointing new Speaker – to Vote!

This is also known as a handshake agreement. The term originated when women did not work outside the home so gentlemen ruled the world.
An agreement in which both parties could be trusted to keep their word without requiring a written contract is a gentlemen’s or handshake agreement, in other words my word is my bond.
I think that Mr. Allan Peter Cayetano should honor the agreement and be man enought to follow our President Rodgrido Duterte. I believe that it should have been visible if you want recognition and support. It should have proved the worth in that position. I think that gentleman’s agreement didn’t happen because of their situation. WORD OF HONOR is the key virtue of a true leader.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people?
I believe that many right or conservative people do wish for an orderly, polite and morally good society. But such wishes are not solely held by the right.
It is well understood that conservatives tend to see other people as needing control, that society cannot manage itself so much as it needs special people to manage it. These betters, these leaders, use their position to do what they think society cannot, and it is the leaders that create the orderly, polite, and morally good society.
I also believe that is has consequences of the current state of affairs of the HOR and the morale of the people to wish that it should be done with a right decision as soon as possible, everyone wants a good decisions or agreements in terms of politics; the disagreement is about what values matter more and how to assert them in a just way.

A. The gentlemen's deal is nowhere to be found in the situation of Mr. Cayetano resigning because they are not on the same page. Mr. Cayetano wants out to be their speaker, but the house of representative does not recognize his offer instead they did not agree to Mr. Cayetano resigning. Mr. Cayetano is resigning because he did not agree of the said "term sharing" with his rival Marinduque Representative Lord Allan Velasco. Many trash talks coming from Mr. Cayetano to his rival. Many disagreements from the house of representative to Mr. Cayetano's resignation, and at the same time the term sharing that Mr. Cayetano's reason of resignation. So in the end there is no gentlemen's agreement can be found in the session leading to a huge mess.
B. The morale of the citizen of the Philippines will decrease. As they see or saw that the affair of the house of representative is in shambles leading to plummeted their credibility as their leader. This could lead to people questioning their government and having a hard time giving their trust as their leader or the government are not as one. The people's morale is important because this could help them to become more productive and having their trust to the government itself leading to a powerful force but as of now the situation is very much in bad condition.

Yes still applies, because based on what I've heard in the news, the term sharing will lapse until October 14, 2020. So until that day come, there's still a possibilty of sharing terms for the house of speakership, but its up to the congressmen who they want to lead the lower house because speakership is a number game, if you get the majority of the votes, you are the one who will sit as the speaker of the house.

— The gentleman's agreement does not applied in this issue between Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano and Rep. Lord Allan Velasco. From the definition itself, the gentlemen's agreement is informal and legally non-binding agreement between the two parties. Cayetano should be stepping down on his position this month but on the other hand he still wants the position and lawmakers also disagree with his resignation, and based on what is done by Velasco, which is not giving way to Cayetano, only proves that gentlemen's agreement is already disregarded.

For me, Its a "NO" because, According to McGrath Victoria, A gentleman's agreement between companion, ally and business partners that rely on the trustworthiness of the groups. It can be based on oral, words and a physical communication, or a general understanding of shared expectations. There's an gentleman's agreement on them, base on what I read in an article, Velasco said that that under the agreement, Cayetano was supposed to step down as speaker this month. In that, we can surely say that there's an agreement happened. But, the essence of gentleman's agreement is the trustworthiness of both parties, and this thing didn't applied to the situation. From now, they are having issues, cayetano still want to continue his position, while velasco saying that cayetano must honor the the gentleman's agreement. They are having misunderstanding, so it cannot be define this situation as an gentlema's agreement.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
First, It will affect the morale of the society, because they are honorable leaders which we are look up for, another thing if the 2021 budget that mentioned by cayetano, because of these problem the budget for 2021 have a possibility to be delayed. Second, leaders must follow the law, but now velasco and cayetano are having misunderstanding about the gentleman's agreement, from that point, how they can get the trust of the societies if they cannot follow the simple law just like this. They must give importance for their every movement, a mistake can easily change the societies mindset.

Moreover in the situation between Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano and Rep. Lord Allan Jay Velasco, gentleman's agreement doesn't applied because, Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano should be step down on being speaker this month but he still wants the position and he tried to resign to his position however it was oppossed by many law maker, perhaps they also concern that we are in the middle of pandemic and it wasn't easy to changed. Also it's does not apply because as you can see that both parties or one party does not want to cooperate so that gentleman's agreement doesn't applies in this issue.

I think it will still apply if the said parties don't change their mind that not only it can affect them but also the other parties that is in the agreement.
B. With the newest political news about Cayetano and Velasco gentlemen's agreement, it clearly shows that Cayetano's party stained the agreement by making a speech to longer his term which they don't settled with. Since their agreement before is Velasco to take over the position of Cayetano. It can be seen that not only Velasco party are affected but also the morale of the people who witness the said news. With how Cayetano's party change their mind, it clearly shown that their party can always change their mind and can be any way destroy what they created together with the other party.

Based on the situation, the gentleman's agreement did not apply at all because there is an agreement that there is a sharing between the terms but still Cayetano remains. It is obvious that Rep. Cayetano still wants the position by pulling the "guilt trip" card to appeal to the congress. If he really wishes to step down, he has the rights to abstain and tell the congress that he would not want polls regarding the position. Furthermore, he can clarify that there is an agreement that exists. But then again, he made an appeal instead of stepping down to his position.

The possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people is that people would lose their trust and faith to our government because of the unending chaos between the two parties. Instead of helping each other, having unity, and showing professionalism, they would rather let their emotions control their selves and their decision.

Consequence for this is that many people are now disappointed by how our so-called “LEADERS” acted, APC should’ve honored the agreement.

This will take a hit on the morale of the people as the politicians who are representing the people are in turmoil to which also impacts the future of the country. Such infighting and division in the house of representatives may directly affect the 2021 budget by the delay the infighting has caused. It also shows uncertainty to what will happen in the following months with the lack of quick action and unity among the house of representatives. Prioritizing one’s name rather than prioritizing the welfare of the Filipino people. It clearly shows the nature of the ones who sit in power. It further increases the disgust and mistrust of the Filipino people to the ones who are in power.

I think the gentleman’s agreement does not applied in this situation. Months ago there was a deal between Cayetano and Velasco that they will share the position of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Cayetano was given 15 months while Velasco was given 21 months. This type of agreement is often unofficial because it can be oral or written. In today’s situation, the agreement was discard because the President wants Cayetano to stay as the Speaker. Also as Cayetano offers his resignation, the majority of the House members rejected it. This resulted as a winning move for Cayetano because it shows that he followed the agreement by resigning but the House members want him to stay.

Having this conflict, both parties is in a dispute and for some reason Rep. Allan Peter Cayetano is still not giving up to his position.

Both having this kind of situation, they just proved to the people that neither of them worthy for the position. Leadership to be considered, if these gentlemen truly think of the betterment of the state upholding the term-sharing agreement, it’s better to just support from their colleagues in working together instead of making it as a competition thing.

I believe that the gentleman's agreement did not met the qualification. It was clear that Cayetano voided and did not fulfill the agreement. Even though he did sent an resignation form to prove that he wanted to pass the position, but there are still ways to pass the position such as forced resignation letter. It is indeed look like Cayetano wants not to pass the position to Velasco.

The possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people is that the citizens might think that the politics in the philippines are clearly showing it's true color of corruption. It is a sign that the House of Representatives are full of games and clearly showing no interest to improve the economy of our country. It is being observed that these people only wanted to have the position and then really enjoy their life as they have the position.

In my opinion, the so-called gentleman’s agreement doesn’t apply in the situation because as far as I know a gentleman’s agreement is basically founded on the individual honor of the guys who have met up to produce some sort of comprehension for shared advantages, but what happened is Speaker Cayetano broke the agreement. Regardless of whether he is sponsored up by his associates in the Congress or the house members of a manifesto declaring their support for him, he should hold fast and be a principled man. He should make the right decision because in the first place, Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco and House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano had an agreement.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
As one of the leaders in our country, they should be responsible for their actions. They are supposed to agree on the same matter like they did years ago. House of Representatives would be divided, and the decisions would differ from each other if they will continue dishonoring agreements like Speaker Cayetano did to Marinduque Rep. Velasco. Imagine the confusion it will cost and the trust of the nation to the government. They should prioritize the country not their selfish acts.

I guess on what happened on the situation between Cayetano and Velasco, the conditions of gentleman's agreement is no longer applied, because as Cayetano needs to step down because his turn is already over, then Velasco isn't being active so they chose Cayetano to remain the House Speaker and reject his resignation. With what happened the Gentleman's agreement is dumped because supposedly, Cayetano's turn is already over but he still remains in the position as being voted by the house representatives because they believe that Cayetano is more efficient than Velasco in the current term.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
The possible consequences is like a breaking the agreement, it can be bad in Law makers view but if Cayetano is more efficient then the decision is just good and can be relevant in serving the country and it's people. However, citizens that know about the agreement will be disappointed in a way that they cannot stay in their words and just follow the agreement, but in the end of the day if Cayetano is really an effective House Speaker, then they made the right choice.

for me is a no because the so called gentleman's agreement is a informal oral agreement between two parties. a long with the term of President Rodrigo Duterte, cayetano and velasco has agreement that they have a term sharing as a house speaker but when the time that cayetano will be resigning the 108 house representative reject his resignation. as you can see that the gentleman's agreement did not follow because one of the party did not comply to that agreement.

the possible consequences of the current state of affairs is that people will doubt the government and worst is that people will not be able to trust the goverment anymore because of not complying and following that agreement.

ReplyDelete- No, Gentleman is a distant word to describe it. the so called agreement didn't exist on the discussion. The current house speaker, Alan Cayetano, in my opinion, cayetano only defending his position but the his reasons for the term extension is not valid. even the president himself said to cayetano is requesting for velasco to let cayetano extend his term. Velasco decided to undermine Cayetano during and before his speech. Which is not professional behavior as an leadership for a public servant. Basically, this so-called politicians are just trying to preserve their power calling it for the "general public", when in fact they are there for their own self interests.

Answer: Based on the news and what I see online, I think that Allan Peter Cayetano still wants the leadership position. Even if Cayetano passed a resignation and the President still wants Cayetano to be the House speaker, I think that the gentleman's agreement was not applied since not all party agreed in unison. And based on his speech, he is expressing his opinion on what will happen to budget and next leader once he resigns which simply shows "without directly saying that he still wants the position".
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
Answer: To my opinion, one of the possible consequences based from the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people is the ruined trust of the people. People may see that our government is not consistent with the laws and regulations they implement. It may imply that certain leaders are more concern on the position rather than effectively doing the duty of the said position. Based on the current situation that the Philippines is facing, there are more critical issues that should be considered and discussed instead of fighting for a leadership position. There are more problems that must be solved first.

a.Speakership of the house must be covered by what is given by the philippine consitution. No agreement or presidential order shall go over by the provisions of the constitution, informal agreement doesn't cover legal process.
b. Possible consequences of the House of Representatives include breach of phil. consti, conflict of power / mind for 1 position and conflict of leadership. they are both greedy politicians who aren't worth of the position. According to R.A 6713 section 4 : Norms of Conduct of Public Officials and Employees. (d) Public officials and employees shall provide service to everyone without unfair discrimination and regardless of party affiliation or preference. but as of the video they already bid their immaturity by crossing each others path. It’s interesting that they came to a decision so amicably and there is no doubt that the President’s involvement, at the time, proved instrumental toward making the agreement work. Both congressmen are friends of his and I’m sure he wanted to see a mutually beneficial arrangement between them, All that’s left now is that they should honor their words. and lastly they both are not man of a few words, they keep on barking at each other with nonsense things and i think they only care for themselves and for their name, and not for the people

A. I think the gentlemen's agreement does not applied in this situation. Based on the definition of the gentlemen's agreement, this is an informal and unwritten agreement. Therefore, this agreement is not formal and might be changing base on the situation their having. Base on the real situation of Rep. Cayetano and Rep. Velasco, leaders like them need to be a man with a word, not just because of the position but as an individual to have an equality and fairness and professional leaders.
B. For me, the consequences that might be the current state of affairs to the morale of people is that the individuals will be dissapointed. Due to the fact that, politicians or so called to be the leaders can't handle or manage the situation between two political party in the said position. Because of the situation they have, the morale of the people may be lose their trust in the government's decisions, this may also affect the relationship between individuals and the government. As a leader, they need to have a firm agreement that will do the right thing for the benefits of the people and also to the society. The two said representatives have their own motives and matters but it should be done in the right process. Therefore, leaders like them should to respect each other decisions and agreement, be a role model for the society and lift each other to have a better country.

Cayetano supposed to serve as House Speaker for the first 15 months and he should stepped down this month.

Maybe the one of the consequences that affects the morale of the people is about the leadership. If those people wants to lead then they should be a good example for the Filipinos. I think instead fighting for the position, why one of them can't agree to the other one? They should help each other because in the first place, they are same representative and they are in the same position but in different time.

-An informal and technically non-binding relationship between two or more parties is based on what I read in a gentleman's agreement article. It's said that it's normally oral and written. So as it says compromise, both parties agree to the same compromise, the agreement may be written by a third party involved on a secret file and the confidence of the two independent groups rests on the honor of both parties. But in the general assembly, before the term will end, people who voted for Rep. Cayetano to be the new Leader. In the first place, I don't think there's a gentleman's agreement at all, because humans are dynamic beings who appear to bend, alter, and respond much of the time, depending on the situation.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
-The fight over the position of the speaker of the house between the two sides is too messy, too rowdy, and even childish. One of Cayetano's excuses for always being in the role is too juvenile and very casual when speaking rationally. If that's what it takes to enlarge a role, then someone will certainly use this as a guide for the future generation. Cayetano 's speech has lost a lot of time and money in doing so and putting his big deal and issues on the congress. And it is disappointing to see how the country's leader works in the middle of the pandemic. Anything so ridiculous, not technically nonsense, they are struggling over. I think if they complied or went with the original deal, it would have be in a good plan.

I think the consequences are, one is the trust of Filipino people to the politician. Another consequence is the disappoint of the people on what Cayetano did because sometime even in a small agreement when you don’t fulfill to that agreement there’s a big chance that the trust other people will lose because of what you did. In politics I think the very important things that you keep is the trust of Filipino people but how would keep the trust of other people when in a small or informal agreement is you can’t fulfill.

-They had made a gentleman's agreement yet, as Rep. Peter Alan Cayetano doesn't wan to step down and rejected his resignation shows that this agreement doesn't applies anymore or it's been voided. Like what I'd read, "Ungentlemanly fight over a gentleman's agreement." Rep. Peter Alan Cayetano and Rep. Lord Allan Velasco both had a gentleman's agreement in which they both agreed with the share and terms of their position being a House Speaker. Unfortunately, Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano doesn't want to step down and reject his resignation no matter what the reason is, indicates that the other party did not comply and respect their agreement.
-It has a negative consequences to the morale of the people. First, people will be disappointed to the government with their ungentlemanly manner, the trust and respect of the people doesn't sure anymore it has a lot of doubts now. Second, it just show that the government has no consistency and doesn't keep their words, that may lead to think that their only want more is they power than to serve us or the country .

After their alleged discussions and agreements, the gentleman's agreement between him and Velasco did not last. In this situation, the arrangement was expected to be that Cayetano would serve for one term as the House speaker. As one of the parties has not complied with the agreement, the agreement will not be binding. Because of them, the arrangement is only casual and did not go through the legal procedure, so that the gentleman's agreement does not apply.

Because it is clearly stated that the President mandated that the speakership of the house will be shared by the two leaders. It's not good that they don't take the agreement seriously as we all know that government position is no joke.

A gentleman's agreement are informal, unwritten agreements between two parties to undertake a transaction or other commitments.
Supposedly Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano should vacate the position of being the Speaker and turn over it to Rep. Lord Allan Jay Velasco this October 15 as what they agreed. But according to news that APC is not ready to leave the position and the house representatives didn't agreed of his resignation. Does the so-called gentleman's agreement still applies? No,Regrettably, the raging controversy now unfolding at the House of Representatives over the Speakership issue connotes treachery and betrayal—two words that are outright despicable and contemptuous.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
To my opinion, even in the government there will be a betrayal and treachery that will happened. This connotes that you can't trust what is in the government. You can't trust anyone even the people with highest position. Without any legal agreement there will be rules that can abide. People in the Philippines are probably disappointed with that kind of act. The trust that the people gave you will be gone.

In the situation of Cayetano and Velasco their gentleman’s agreement didn’t apply because there is another agreement for term-sharing and yet Cayetano still remains on the congress. If they want to apply the agreement it means that Cayetano is submitting a forced resignation to the senate nothing more. I think this speech intensifies why he can’t step back on the congress. Why? Because he wants to finish his proposed budget for 2021 in Covid response and being messy of the congress due to what happens. Another thing is he revealed all the bad details about Velasco in how he’s not active in valuable meetings, on how inexperienced he is, everything. This concludes on how very obvious he wants the position even he still says the so-called agreement from the start to very last of the speech

The possible consequences of the current state of affairs is too great. The government make wrong decisions nowadays and the issues recited are still there until now. The government doesn’t reveal the truth that’s why the people’s trust become smaller and doubts comes more and more. Because of greed and corruption among the senate the future of the country become desolate. Never ending fights, no cooperation or unity, likely said in the video instead of comparing powers why not join forces? By their lack of experience and analyzation to the problem their putting the life of the Filipino people at risk.

It applies only if these men have "Palabra De Honor". There's no legal basis for them to comply with the said agreement. However, their honor as risk here whether they follow or not the agreement. Their reputation precedes their political image. A man without a single word is a man of no conviction. Though it can be said that it is just a mouthed agreement, fulfilling the terms and its condition is a dignified choice. And, it is good in politics when people know that the person sticks to his promises. Well, political interest is still in question here.

A country with politicians that value their own personal interest more than their countrymen, is doomed to failure. Instead of being united in this trying time, the people who run the government is quarreling over the position of being a house speaker. It is because they are from different parties and have different agendas on why they want the position. Well, they may say it's for the betterment of the people but that's not what really happens. They should resolve that trivial thing urgently for there are far more sensitive issues that require more attention. People will question the credibility of these politicians, which eventually will lose their trust for them. Many are unease, and we are expecting the authority to do their job properly.

Based from the meaning of the gentleman’s agreement, it is an informal, made orally, and is not legally binding. With that, it requires both parties to have mutual understanding with the agreement. In addition to the gentleman’s agreement, both parties must have cooperation towards to what they agreed upon. It is evident that Rep. Peter Cayetano have the desire to still be in that position. He should stoop down at the end of September yet he still didn’t turn over the position to Rep. Allan Velasco. At that point, gentleman’s agreement has been broken. It is clear that the most of House of Representatives and even President Duterte attested that he should still be in the position. This indicates how Cayetano is not man of his words for he cannot step down to his position just because of his personal reasons.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people?
People must be ashamed with the petty acts of the government official since they must be one of the role models that the nation look up to and the leaders who resolves conflicts yet they are the who starts to clash. This matter would lead to people’s distrust towards the government since there is an on-going dispute for a position. People always envision to have a better tomorrow with the help of those leaders but seeing the dispute, it is complicated to anticipate that there would be a bright future ahead. This must be an eye opener to everyone on how easy the government alter their decisions and aren’t man of their words. This goes to show that they lack of professionalism and just act on the emotions they convey.

Since the gentleman's agreement relies on trust and honor to make it work, the gentleman's agreement or palabra de honor does not apply any longer since there is money and power involved. More so in the House of Representatives, the speakership has all the "say" especially in the insertion of large amounts of "pork barrel" in the annual budget intended to be distributed to the majority block who gives their support and loyalty to the incumbent Speaker of the House, relinquishing the term sharing agreement. Power grabbing is also at stake for a much higher position ambitioned by the incumbent in the next presidential election.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
Since term sharing is not merely in our constitution, this agreement should have been disproved before it was agreed upon by the Congressmen themselves. Since there was hidden agenda covered by greed and corruption emanated from the incumbent speaker himself, the position was not shared. The passing and approval of National Budget for the next fiscal year may be delayed. The people are the real victim of this conflict in the House of Representatives. The people especially the masses are no longer interested in the current affairs since they perceive politicians as disgraced and two-faced people known since the time politics was introduced.

Basically, they've both agreed to a verbal agreement. However, not all verbal agreements are considered legally binding. For a verbal agreement to be considered as a valid contract, it should satisfy offer and acceptance, lawful purpose, lawful consideration, certainty and completeness of terms, free consent of the parties and capacity. According to their terms, they've satisfied some, if not most of these terms. However, since they've called it as a 'gentleman's agreement' then it includes their morals and principles there. Both parties can not stick to it if they've agreed to do so, however if one decides to taint the agreement, then they've clearly violated it and that makes them a person that cannot stick to their words therefore making them untrue.

As was obvious, the gentleman's agreement wasn't applied between the two representatives. And I don't think it would be applied anytime soon. The gentleman's agreement is not legally binding it is unwritten and was done orally so Rep. Cayetano doesn't really have to step down. However it relies on the gentleman's honor and integrity to uphold the agreement, which is also not happening. As we can see, the two representatives, particularly Rep. Cayetano has thrown the agreement out of the window and decided to act against it, acting instead on what was beneficial for himself.

Distrust would be sown in the public. How could the masses trust the government if they are so willing to throw away their 'honor and integrity' just to stay in the position? Not to mention, their credibility is going down by the minute, furthering the distrust. Rep. Cayetano keeps on saying that he would resign but then follow it up with a comment saying that there was no way Rep. Velasco would win. Honestly, they were squabbling like children over a position that should be used to help the public specially in this trying times, but instead that position was treated like a trophy that can be passed around. Such trivial issues should be dealt with quickly, how can the public trust a government who goes back on their own words and doesn't treat their position seriously? They should be helping the people, not fighting among themselves.

To answer the question, it does not applied. Although this agreement thing is an informal settlement of decision of both parties, it should be followed since both of them agreed to share term for the House Speaker position under Duterte's administration. The sequel of his action will affect his image especially he is a representative of the people.

As i have searched the meaning of gentleman's agreement, I found out that a gentlemen's agreement is an informal, often unwritten agreement or transaction backed only by the integrity of the counterparty to actually abide by its terms. An agreement such as this is generally informal, made orally, and is not legally binding. In the video I watched, it is clear that it was an ungentlemanly manner. There was this agreement that Cayetano will be serving as house speaker until his term. In his speech, Cayetano should be stepping down this month but it only appears that he wants to stay on his position as a House Speaker which is very ungentlemanly attitude with Velasco, who is supposed to be the new House Speaker.

- A gentleman’s agreement is just an agreement by word between two parties. It is only backed by the integrity of the two parties. So gentleman’s agreement doesn't apply in the situation between Alan Peter Cayetano and Lord Allan Velasco for House Speakership because even they have a term-sharing deal, Cayetano still wants to sit in the position until December, but his term will end in the October. It is a plan moved by Cayetano because if he is willing to resign, he will do it as soon as possible but he doesn’t do it. This move can be the future plan of Cayetano. Like in this idea, “In politics, there is no permanent friends nor enemies, only permanent interests”.

Yes. The essence of gentleman's agreement is that it relies upon the honor of the parties for it's fulfilment. Gentleman's agreement is an informal and legally non-binding agreement between two or more parties.
Non-binding agreement is a non binding contract an agreement in which the parties are not legally obligated to carry out its terms. Their purpose is to state the parties' intention as part of the negotiation process.
The 2021 budget, Leadership of the house and his resignation issues is now on the line where as Rep. Cayetano is making a non-binding agreement to the parties for the sake of the fulfilment of 2021 budgets, Leadership of the house and for the president.
Rep. Cayetano said "My faith and the faith of 2021 budget and the faith of leadership of the house is in your hands"
In my perspective, he is talking to the people inside the court and the people outside which is called "voters."
Rep. Cayetano said "Please don't vote on party lines. Don't accept or deny because of positions or what the president might say and what I might think."

If he resign, the people will confused about who will they vote to lead this achievement, to handle the faith of this budget, leadership and the house.

It means that if one of the agreeing parties chose to neglect, that party intentionally clear himself of personal honor.

Although agreements between individuals often create legally binding commitments, instances may arise in which mutual promises yield no legally enforceable agreement. Sometimes called "gentlemen's agreements," parties may honor them because moral obligations compel observance or because future relations will be more difficult if the present arrangement is broken. International organizations likewise may depend on such informal arrangements so as to maintain comity among members.

It is clearly shown that Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano doesn't want to step down on his position, the resignation thing is just a dramatic show. It is clearly shown that the conditions for the so-called gentleman's agreement don't apply anymore in the current issue. Even if the gentleman's agreement is an informal agreement and not legally bounded, as a leader or as a politician we must stick to what we agreed with the other parties or sides.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
Disunity may lead to many problems especially when it comes to our government which is our national leader, the credibility of the government will be affected and the morale and trust of the people on the whole country will be affected too that may lead to losing hope. What was just happened in the house of representatives especially in the current issue of Alan Peter Cayetano and Lord Allan Velasco is just an unprofessional act, for me if you're truly concerned in our country and in the people belong to it, you will show it and do it. The problem in our government nowadays is they just always promise to do things that will make our country better, the problem is they just always saying things like that but they didn't do it.

According to Google, a gentleman's agreement is an informal and legally non-binding agreement between two or more parties. It is typically oral, but it may be written or simply understood as part of an unspoken agreement by convention or through mutually beneficial etiquette. It does not apply in the situation because Cayetano didn't keep his words to step down on his position as a speaker of the house of representatives, on the agreement with Velasco.

It will just cause disappointments, and people lose their trust in the government. Giving more attention to this matter, instead of doing things that can help to flatten the curve of cases of coronavirus as we face pandemic here in the Philippines. They should be a role model for Filipinos, but here they are, arguing for a position in the government. That's why some Filipinos saying that our government is incompetent.

- A gentlemen's agreement is an informal, often unwritten agreement or transaction backed only by the integrity of the counterparty to actually abide by its terms. An agreement such as this is generally informal, made orally, and is not legally binding. I think gentleman's agreement doesn't apply on this since Rep. Cayetano doesn't want to step down. Although he said that he wants to resign, it's just a show up to void the term-sharing with Rep. Velasco.

In the situation, there is an unofficial agreement that there will be a sharing of term between Cayetano and Velasco to be the Speaker of the House of Representative. The time comes that Cayetano submits a resignation but still majority of the House Members reject Cayetano's resignation. That results Cayetano still has the position to be the speaker of the House of Representatives. And I think that Cayetano doesn't want to give up to his position as the speaker. This only shows that gentleman's agreement can't or not applied.

The possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representative to the morale of people is that people may be disappointed because of what have done and for not having a firm decisions. Also because of what happened, it may lose the trust of the people to the government for what they do. It is like the problem inside the government can't be resolved what if our country will have a problem, do they can stil handle and resolve it? That is one problem that makes people lose their trust in the government. The current situation in the House of Representative may show that they value more to their positions that to value the service to our country.

A. Does the conditions for the so called gentleman's agreement still applies? Explain your answer.
According to the news, and to the people involved re Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco and Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano, are said to have a term-sharing based on a gentleman’s agreement, wherein a gentleman’s agreement is an informal, legally non-binding agreement between two or more parties that is dependent on the two parties for fulfillment (Investopedia). It is based on purely honor and trust between the people involved, therefore testing the credibility and how the person values the agreement. The fact that they agreed in term-sharing just based on each other’s trust was chaotic in the first place, this scheme does not have the same legal protections in which a formal contract and thus, it made them both petty, ungentlemanly, and deceitful like children fighting. The fact that Cayetano insist to stay in the position for the reason of finishing the national budget for 2021 and all other excuses and schemes that deliberately made him look desperate for power. In my opinion, it was no question that an agreement not legally binding in politics would result to a messy process, here in the Philippines, you cannot simply trust the people who are seated in the government just because they look trustworthy. The time wasted in the arguments from both parties are absolutely inappropriate, their fighting days could have been focused on finishing the budget or what needs to be done, but instead they bicker, spread fake news, and sideswiping one another. The condition for the gentleman’s agreement, for me, still applies, I am quite confused as to why Cayetano had the members get involved in voting for if he should leave the position or not because the agreement was between solely on him and Velasco, to honor it without any more delays can have free of this confusing situation.
B. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people? Explain your answer.
This continued sideswiping in the House of Representatives is nothing but deceitful and distracting. Instead of focusing on important matters of the state, they clearly lack empathy and focus and clueless of their priorities. They made themselves look desperate and unworthy of their positions. They are focusing on the fight instead of what needs to be done and that is incompetence. They are seated in high positions, things can be talked over in a peaceful and smart discussion but I guess they could not because they lack principles and morals a normal person has. People are getting more anxious and more worried as each day passes by without a solution for the government, people are scared and starving but those people squabbling over and over with one another. Their focus should be on their people but they undoubtedly lack that specific responsibility, therefore lacking leadership.

1. In this issue, it appears to be that the "gentleman's agreement" doesn't apply. Gentlemen's agreement is an informal agreement in which people trust one another to do what they have promised. They had an understanding that they will have a term sharing as the House Speaker. However, at that point, it was obvious to us that Cayetano would not like to leave. As one of the parties did not comply with the agreement, this case no longer applies to the gentleman's agreement.
2.It would be possible for people to lose more faith in the government. An agreement was released, but it did not seem to comply with it, which is rather inappropriate. They would seem to be only doing their jobs for personal gain or greedy for power and position in the government.

The so called “gentleman’s agreement” definitely doesn’t apply anymore. If they have already an agreement before which is also absurd because why do you have to divide the service that should be just for one person? We can see the greediness of both party for the position, though if they had an agreement in the first place then they should follow that and with this situation it is causing a lot waste of time for the meeting that could be more significant for our government and not with their childish fight even when they tell us that this is for the sake of the people in our government but it is obviously their doing it for their own sake.

Having these kind of situation happening within the department of the government will cause losing trust of the people to them wherein they should be the one who will be a role model for good attributes such as being reliable, professional and decent but showing these kind of attitude publicly lose the trust of the people as well as the hope for our country’s recovery in the pandemic time. These issue only proved the greediness of the officials in the government wherein you will think that they can do anything just to have the power even if it will degrade their integrity and they don't really mind whatever they step on.
A. Yes and no. Yes because the gentleman's agreement is still here as Cayetano is willing to step down on being the house representative. But no, because Velasco is not doing what he is supposed to do and he is only eager for the power of being the house representative.

1. Does the conditions for the so called gentleman's agreement still applies?
As the day of reckoning neared, allies of Cayetano declared their belief that the current speaker should continue serving the House of Representatives opposing Cayetano and Velasco's pre-existing term-sharing agreement.
Eventhough the gentleman's agreement is an informal concensus, it must still be honored as both parties mutually agreed to it.
Personally, I believe that Cayetano should respect their term-sharing agreement as the deal was also made under the approval of no other than the President himself. It was already a done deal and that alone should be an enough reason to push through with the agreement.
2. What are the possible consequences of the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives to the morale of the people?
The rejection of the House of Representatives to Cayetano's statement of resignation would deliberately strip his moral of personal honor as the agreement existed even before he assumed the position as speaker.
Subsequently, he will put his honor in harm as he might lose his fellowmen's respect and trust as well as from the citizens. It will also look like he's perpetuating a personal agenda towards the passage of budget for the coming year. In order to avoid all these, he must uphold his dignity and keep his word with regards to the term-sharing agreement he made with Velasco.

Despite all the promises he stated, just because of certain reasons or let's say, he really doesn't want to let go of the position anymore, he let go of his honor by going back to his words.

A gentleman’s agreement is an agreement between two parties without written documentation. In the case of Rep.

He was supposed to be out of the position by September 21 but due to his incompetence to finish the 2021 budget his term has prolonged causing his turnover to extend until October 14.

>A gentlemen’s agreement is essentially based on the personal honor of the guys who have come together to forge some kind of understanding for mutual benefits.
So it goes to say that if one of the agreeing parties chose to disregard or disrespect the pact, that party by his own accord deliberately strips himself of personal honor.
Subsequently, a person without honor loses the respect of his fellowmen, and he is looked down on with suspicion, mistrust, and contempt. In Cayetano and Velasco's case, there is no gentleman agreement that bind them. Because as I can see Cayetano is so selfish that he won't take down his positions. Cayetano dropped broad hints that he was not ready to vacate the post and turn it over to Velasco by October 15.
Cayetano on Wednesday ostensibly offered to step down, but it turned out his bid was simply a cue for close allies to stand up and roundly reject his resignation. He has no affirmation on what they had agreed in the first place.

The Gentleman’s agreement was clearly disregarded by the current representative, just like the respect he should’ve had for himself in his words. The conditions were not met by a simple act of an unprincipled man, letting his personal feelings get in the way of such a formal and professional agreement.
B) The respect of the people towards the ones within the current state of affairs of the House of Representatives will drop to the point that they will be seen as undependable persons.

First is that people will get mad, instead of focusing on what's good for the nation, our officials are busy arguing with power and positions which are unnecessary during this time of pandemic. Second is that they will lose the trust of the people, knowing that officials are going crazy after the national budget will create a assumption that one was about to use the national budget just to take the money of the people for personal gain. Lastly, it will result to governance incompetency, their personal opinions and affairs rule over what is the nation is really needed and with a due process or based on legal measures. They value more the personal opinions than what is the current situation of the nation.
As I was watching the video, resignation of Mr Cayetano will create a huge mess in the Government and so much more to the people of the countr. As Mr Cayetano states, there were no such in history that the budget were passed in the same amount with NEP, and that was an unwise move, Mr Velasco did not even consider the needs that we need as we are under the pandemic, there are plenty of considerations and changes must be taken to have complimentary budget that the people will agree and be proud of. The budget that will save not just the economy but also the citizens. Having the our people dying due to pandemic is not the right time to argue about power and positions, the welfare of the marginalized must be prioritized. Politicians must not think about their own money, reputation, power and position but what's beneficial for the nation.
