It’s “Senateflix” week 4 as Win Gatchalian and Alan Peter Cayetano contest the top post; 18 men claiming to be former marines star in a rogue Senate blue ribbon committee hearing; Jinggoy Estrada is arrested in his third case of plunder. Meanwhile, Martin Romualdez’s US visas are canceled.

The full, glorious details:

• #5: US cancels Martin Romualdez’s visas + Jinggoy Estrada now in police custody over plunder, graft cases + Moving to trial: Sandiganbayan denies Jinggoy’s bid to dismiss graft case
  
• #4: Paralyzed Senate: Majority no-show at session after Estrada’s arrest + Cayetano’s old playbook returns: No WiFi, no air-conditioning for Senate minority + Majority senators boycott sessions to keep grip on blue ribbon panel, other committees
  
• #3: Escudero surprise Senate appearance prompts leadership shake-up + Win Gatchalian is acting Senate president + Conflicting: Cayetano orders Senate premises kept open; Gatchalian directs work-from-home setup
  
• #2: Post-Senate shakeup sees two sides still battling for control + Cayetanos’ contested Senate hearing gives ‘ex-Marines’ platform to attack enemies + Was the Senate blue ribbon probe staged by Cayetano bloc real or fake?
  
• #1: Is Alan Cayetano still Senate president after new leadership shake-up? + Senate’s quorum of 12 legal, valid – IBP, law deans + Supreme Court asked to uphold legality of Senate’s quorum of 12
