Gordon defends Pimentel, says he should have set better example

Senator Richard J. Gordon defended Senator Aquilino Pimentel III, describing him as an upright man, while also stating that Pimentel should have set a better example regarding COVID-19 self-quarantine protocols.

Gordon urged the public not to gang up on Pimentel, acknowledging that he is a respectable person, newly married, and that his wife was undergoing a cesarean section.

Despite these considerations, Gordon believes Pimentel should have limited his movements and avoided entering the hospital where other people were present.

Pimentel has apologized to the Makati Medical Center for his actions, asserting that he did not intentionally violate quarantine protocols or intend to cause harm.
