Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri on Thursday said he will be “more assertive” in maintaining proper decorum in the chamber.
At the Kapihan sa Senado, Zubiri said he already talked with former Senate President Franklin Drilon who advised him to “draw the line” as the prestige and the credibility of the Senate were supposedly being eroded due to the apparent lack of decorum on the part of certain senators.
“Hindi po ako napikon nu’ng sinabi niya iyon. I took it as payo ng mas nakakatandang kapatid and then I messaged him… I told [former] Senator Drilon ‘I fully note your concern, Tito frank’ and I said 'We will do better when we come back,'” the Senate chief added. “Pag medyo maingay don sa likod, sa VIP section, I will suspend session already. Even if there’s [ongoing] discussion, I will suspend session so our colleagues will know na medyo hindi na tama ‘yung masyadong maingay,” he said.
Zubiri cited “revenge visit” as one of the reasons why the noise inside the session hall is remarkable.
