‘ALL THIS FOR A MAN WHO SIMPLY DOESN’T WANT TO FACE THE LAW’
Sen. Risa Hontiveros pushed back against attempts to link minority senators to the Senate incident, saying the narrative being spread is politically motivated.
“There is only one reason some bad faith actors are trying very hard to make this controversial event about me and other Minority senators and the times we went home. All this for a man who simply doesn’t want to face the law. That’s it. That’s the whole story,” she said.
Hontiveros stressed that Senate employees had already gone home and that she was in the province for a scheduled engagement, rejecting what she described as politicization of routine movements.
She also called for accountability and urged Sen. Ronald Dela Rosa to cooperate with authorities, saying the public deserves a full, independent and transparent accounting of the incident.

journalists really have been some of our true heroes ever since. habang may kaguluhan at possible danger sa paligid, sila pa rin ang nasa harap with cameras and microphones. i genuinely hope all the reporters covering what’s happening right now stay safe, please.
Gunshots inside the Senate and innocent civilians, media personnel, and staff could have been caught in the middle of it all.
Kung peacefully na lang sana sumuko si Bato, this situation could have been avoided. Grabeng kaguluhan ang dinala mo, Bato.
The circus in the senate is happening because you have a corrupt president and a corrupt VP trying to outdo each other. We have a choice to end this in 2028.
Doesn't show up to work for six months while still being paid, destabilizes the Senate, ousts the sitting SP.
