Co-chairmen of the House Quad Committee have called on ex-President Rodrigo Duterte to refrain from using profanity and inappropriate language in formal
House Committee on Human Rights chairperson and Manila Rep. Bienvenido Abante, Jr. legislative hearings, saying this could set a negative example for Filipinos and erode respect for legislative institutions if tolerated during proceedings.
He then vowed that if Duterte uses such language in Quad Comm hearings, he would ensure it does not make it to the official records, preserving the decorum expected in the institution. If Duterte resorts to such language in a Quad Comm hearing, Abante stated he would raise a “point of order.”
