Koko Pimentel Flags Robin Padilla after Tagging Rodrigo Duterte as PDP-Laban Chairman
Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel calls out Robinhood “Robin” Padilla for tagging former president Rodrigo Duterte as the chairman of the PDP-Laban party.
After Padilla tagged Duterte as the leader of Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban), the Senate Minority Leader criticized him. This took place at the Senate Finance Committee’s hearing on the proposed budget for the judiciary.
Padilla asked for the opinion of the judiciary officials regarding the proposal of Atty. Estelito Mendoza to dissolve the Judicial Bar Council because the appointment of members is centered only on the president and without the participation of members of Congress. Padilla mentioned Mendoza’s previous statement in a case during the Duterte administration, which the senator labeled the chairman of PDP-Laban.
