Paolo Duterte's planned 17-country tour raises questions from colleagues
ACT Teachers party-list Rep. Antonio Tinio questioned Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Duterte's request to travel to 17 countries from December 15 to February 20.
Tinio emphasized that a congressman's primary duty is to represent their district in Congress and that watching livestreams does not equate to actual participation.
Rep. Duterte, son of former President Rodrigo Duterte and brother of Vice President Sara Duterte, plans to attend sessions remotely and stated he will use personal funds for the trips.
Tinio also raised concerns about the timing of the request, noting it came after Duterte refused to appear before the Independent Commission for Infrastructure's inquiry.
