Senator Jinggoy Estrada said comments on the “lack of decorum” in the Senate must be taken as constructive feedback and must be addressed collectively by its members. | FArgosinoINQ
“The current Senate is composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds, ideologies, and experiences. It is crucial to understand that the dynamics within the Senate reflect the diverse backgrounds and convictions of its members,” he added.
Estrada said senators should strive to be role models of professionalism and should be mindful of their words and actions, which may affect the public’s trust and the Senate’s reputation as a whole. “Addressing the criticisms of a lack of decorum within the Senate requires a collective effort from the leadership and individual senators,” he said.
“Constructive feedback is an essential part of our democratic process, and the lack of decorum in our chamber has been a cause for concern. As public servants entrusted with the responsibility of representing our constituents, we must demonstrate the values we hold dear,” he added. Aside from Estrada, Senator Robinhood Padilla also responded to Drilon’s remarks saying that the “new Senate is not taking its job lightly,” adding that the senators who seem to be “noisy” are only doing their jobs and are not violating any law or defying any rules of the Senate.
