Rep. Gardiola accuses Rep. Leviste of publicity stunt over selfie attempt

CWS party-list Rep. Edwin Gardiola accused Batangas Rep. Leandro Leviste of a publicity stunt and breaching parliamentary decorum for attempting to take a selfie with him.

Gardiola claimed Leviste's actions, along with a news outlet's involvement, were a coordinated attempt to "rage-bait," ridicule, and malign him for attention.

Leviste had previously accused Gardiola of "pre-ordering" over P22 billion worth of infrastructure projects for firms linked to him before bidding.

The Independent Commission for Infrastructure recently recommended filing criminal and administrative charges against Gardiola and other lawmakers involved with construction firms that secured government projects.
