I will respond to the personal attacks against me made during a privilege speech yesterday by Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile. I was ill with chronic fatigue syndrome, and was unable to access my enemy’s privilege speech.

I have ordered my staff to get a copy of the Senate Journal which is expected to print in full the Enrile speech, so that I can reply. I have also asked Majority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano to schedule my privilege speech on Wednesday, 4 December 2013.

I invite all of you to attend the Senate plenary session on that date. Seating is on a first come, first served basis, so please come early. Otherwise, please tune in to live streams of my speech next Wednesday.
