House senior appropriations vice chairperson Stella Quimbo and her fellow vice chair Angelica Natasha Co filed the case with the ethics committee on Monday, October 14. But once lawmakers began tackling the DOH’s budget, Lee, after a lengthy speech, moved to defer the debates, citing the lack of a comprehensive plan from the agency and state-health insurer PhilHealth on reducing Filipinos’ expenses on medical services.
Lee, a member of the minority, grabbed the microphone from Daza, in a bid to prevent him from submitting the motion, but Deputy Majority Leader Janette Garin quickly joined Daza in his motion, which Deputy Speaker Duke Frasco approved.Co said Lee’s conduct was “unparliamentary, crude, rude, and detestable.”
