Good Morning Philippines - red

Good Morning World Moi

you look so dashing today mr. Duque.- red
but ofcourse I need to look good because Im with a very pretty lady- Moi
that is sweet, moises. Today we will discuss the Parliament Procedures. In any organization, be it political,
religious, civic, business, or institutional, meeting are called to discuss important issues.
that is right red, Parliamentary procedure is the body of rules, ethics, and customs governing meetings and
other operations of clubs, organizations, legislative bodies, and other deliberative assemblies.- moi
and to give us more information here is Regine nica Castro For some update
Thank you Red, Parliamentary procedure is one of the most effective means by which individuals can take orderly
action as a group. Parliamentary procedure (or law) originally referred to the customs and rules for conducting
business in the British Parliament and later referred to deliberative assemblies in general. In Great Britain, these
procedures form a part of the unwritten law of the land, and in our own legislative bodies they are the authority in all
cases where they do not conflict with existing rules or precedents.
Parliamentary procedure is one of the most effective means by which individuals can take orderly action as a group.
The main objectives of the parliamentary procedures are:
1.
2.
3.
4.

To protect and defend the assembly from hasty and ill-considered action
To give each member an equal right to be heard.
To determine the will of the majority.
To protect minority

Many organizations are observing the parliament procedures because of the following characteristic:
1. It is democratic.
2. It provides for a rule of majority and protects the right of the minority
3. It provides complete and comprehensive and free discussion of all matters and at the same time limits it
consideration to only one subject at a time.
4. It requires an orderly disposal or settlement of each item of business before taking up another. That is what
is parliamentary procedures is all about . Back to you Moi.
Thank you Regine for that relevant information- moi
Now we will trace the history of Parliamentary Procedures with the report of Catherine Agripa, Cath- Red
Thank you Red, it is important to know that ,There is no record of parliamentary procedure before 750 B.C.
Parliamentary law began with the idea of self-government instituted by the Greeks. The Athens general assembly
held scheduled meetings, a quorum was necessary to conduct business, votes were taken by a show of hands or a
type of ballot, and most decisions were by majority vote. Governing rules were further developed by the Romans
around 450 B.C. for use in the Roman Forum. The first record of the delaying tactic of the filibuster was in the
Roman Republic. Two thousand years after the Greeks and Romans instituted the concept of parliamentary law and
democratic processes, members of the British Parliament as early as the 13th century expanded and put to use the
principles of parliamentary procedure. They developed principles such as considering only one subject at a time,
alternating between pro and con during debate, and confining debate to the merits of pending questions. When the
young colonies in North America needed rules of democratic assembly, they imported the rules used by the British
Parliament. The word parliamentary is a derivative of the French word parlerto speak, discuss, or deliberate. The
first parliamentarian of the young United States was Thomas Jefferson. Seeing that the British rules were not
adequate for the new nation, he authored the nation's first rules of parliamentary procedure, called A Manual of
Parliamentary Practice for the Use of the Senate of the United States. It was during the Civil War that a young army
officer was to make a decision that would have a profound impact on modern parliamentary law. Henry M. Robert, a
West Point graduate, accepted an invitation to preside at a meeting. The resulting chaos caused by misbehaving
participants dedicated the young Robert to the study of parliamentary law. In 1876, Robert self-published the Pocket
Manual of Rules of Order for Deliberative Assemblies. This work was the beginning of the most widely used manual
today, Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR). RONR is used by more than 90 percent of all deliberative
assemblies in the United States. RONR is updated every 10 years, with a new edition scheduled for 2011. Other

parliamentary authorities in use today are The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure (also called
simply Standard Code) by Alice Sturgis, now revised by the American Institute of Parliamentarians. That is all for
now Red.
Thanks Cath we will be right back after this break.

Moi- and where back here in English talks. And we will be hearing from Danica fate Fanoga everything about the
meeting. Go ahead Danica
Yes moises, Meeting: Formal or informal deliberative assembly of individuals called to debate
certain issues and problems, and to take decisions. Formal meetings are held at definite times, at a definite place, and
usually for a definite duration to follow an agreed upon agenda.
Depending on the skills that members have, the club can use simple, informal or formal parliamentary procedures.
Club officers as well as club members should learn the appropriate parliamentary procedures they are going to use in
making club decisions. These are the three different meeting styles:
!Simple Style
Characteristics: No formal agenda; group discusses business until they agree on what to do; probably no officers;
open discussion. Settings: Project meetings, small groups, sessions with younger members.
!Informal Style Characteristics: Flexible meeting agenda; basic parliamentary procedures; chairperson or elected
officers; controlled discussion. Settings: 4-H meetings, school/church/civic organizations.
!Formal Style Characteristics: Precise meeting agenda; standard parliamentary procedures following Roberts Rules
of Order; elected officers. Settings: Large gatherings; 4-H Federation meeting, FFA formal meetings.
Parts of the meeting
Order of Business
Each officer should know the proper order of
business:
1. Call to order
2. Opening song or pledge
3. Roll call
4. Reading minutes
5. Approving minutes
6. Treasurer's report
7. Committee reports
8. Accepting the committee reports
9. Unfinished business

3. Participants must be properly prepared
4. Minutes must be taken
That is all you need to know about meeting back to you Red.

And we are back here in English talks. Another aspect of Parliamentary Procedure is motion and voting. And Here is
Alma Mae Anano for the explanation.
Thanks, red Motion and voting is
Motion and voting objectives are:
1.General: Proposal formally submitted to a meeting for discussion and possible adoption as a resolution.
2.Legal: Oral or written application to a court requesting it to issue an order to force performance of an action in
favor of the applicant party (called the mover). Normally, the applicant must serve a notice of motion on the
opposing party to forewarn it, but some motions (called 'ex parte') can be brought without such warning.
3.Legislative: Proposal on a specific issue, put for debate and voting under formal parliamentary procedure.

There are four basic types of motions:

Main motions: The purpose of a main motion is to introduce items to the membership for their consideration.
They cannot be made when any other motion is on the floor, and they yield to subsidiary, privileged and
incidental motions.
Subsidiary motions: Their purpose is to change or affect how a main motion is handled, and is voted on
before a main motion.
Privileged motions: Their purpose is to bring up items that are urgent or important matters unrelated to
pending business.
Incidental motions: Their purpose is to provide a means of questioning procedure concerning other motions
and must be considered before the other motion.
How Motions are Presented
Obtain the floor
Wait until the last speaker has finished.
Wait until the chairperson recognizes you.
Make your motion
Speak in a clear and concise manner.
Wait for someone to second your motion
Another member will second your motion or the chairperson will call for a second.
The chairperson states your motion
The chairperson will say, "It has been moved and seconded that we ...," thus placing your motion before the
membership for consideration and action.
Expanding on your motion
The time for you to speak in favor of your motion is at this point in time, rather than at the time you present it.
The mover is always allowed to speak first.
Putting the question to the membership
The chairperson asks, "Are you ready to vote on the question?"
If there is no more discussion, a vote is taken.
On a motion to move the previous question may be adapted.
Voting on a motion
The method of vote on any motion depends on the situation and the bylaws of your organization. There are five
methods used to vote by most organizations, they are:
By voice
By roll call
By general consent
By division
By ballot
Motion to table- Motion to postpone indefinitely
