I seek leave to move a motion relating to the censure of Senator Rice for engaging in unparliamentary and disrespectful conduct during the address by His Excellency Ferdinand R Marcos Jr, President of the Philippines, in the terms as circulated in the chamber.

Leave not granted.

Pursuant to contingent notice standing in my name, I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to give precedence to a motion relating to the censure of Senator Rice for engaging in unparliamentary and disrespectful conduct during the address by His Excellency Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr, President of the Philippines.
