Velasco: Cayetano 'bastardized' the House
Marinduque Representative Lord Allan Velasco criticized Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano on Tuesday, October 6, saying Cayetano has 'bastardized' the House of Representatives.
Velasco accused Cayetano of violating the Constitution by pushing for the second reading approval of the P4.5-trillion budget bill in 2021 and then suspending sessions until November 16.
According to Velasco, Cayetano's actions demonstrate a loss of confidence from majority House members due to inequities in district budget allocations.
