If you thought Sen. Aquilino Pimentel Jr.’s filibuster last Tuesday was frustrating for holding up the congressional canvass for about seven hours, he was nowhere near the unofficial world record.


The longest known filibuster by an individual was made by the late US senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina.


Thurmond spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes to keep the US Senate from voting on a civil rights bill in August 1957.
