Transcript
00:00 Foot injury is one of the reasons behind the coup d'etat against former Senate President Mig Zubiri, according to Senator Bato de la Rosa.
00:09 Zubiri did not allow Senator Bong Revilla to attend the Senate session online.
00:16 Darling Kai has a report.
00:18 We only amended the rules for online session.
00:21 In the middle of the May 13 session, before Senator Mig Zubiri resigned as Senate President,
00:27 Senator Francis Tolentino asked the Senate rules,
00:30 not to mention Senator Bong Revilla's condition of having a foot injury.
00:33 Is he really required to be physically present during hearings?
00:39 I'm referring, Mr. President, to the Honorable Senator Ramon Bong Revilla.
00:44 I always see that there's a lack of wheelchair.
00:49 The rules are very explicit.
00:50 We only amended the rules for online sessions for COVID-infected individuals or those that have contagious diseases.
01:00 He attended a political party rally in Manila Polo Club, was seen by everybody standing beside our president,
01:08 and therefore he seems fit to be able to join us.
01:12 And he joined us last Wednesday.
01:14 We are not here to be pitied.
01:18 Who would want to be absent?
01:20 That's why I want to be online.
01:24 During our last session, I attended.
01:27 But my foot is injured.
01:33 So it's okay, Mr. President.
01:35 Even if my foot is injured, no problem for the country.
01:41 In the end, Revilla was allowed to have virtual attendance while recovering from the operation.
01:46 According to Senator Bato De La Rosa, this was the plan of the Senate President to make Zubiri go crazy.
01:52 Ruben Padilla and Jingoy joined us.
01:56 That's when it started.
01:57 I am not trying to paint off the accusations against me.
02:00 This triggered Senator Meigs' departure when the artists got angry.
02:06 Zubiri said that he didn't stop at De La Rosa's hearing on pedialyx,
02:11 which is one of the reasons why he was not in the position.
02:14 We tried to get Zubiri's statement on this.
02:17 But Senator Nancy Binay was the one who spoke for the group they call Solid 7.
02:23 Binay said that it's weird to think that the reason he left was because of his foot injury.
02:30 Revilla said in GMA Integrated News that there are many problems before the discussion on his injury.
02:37 In the HASS interviews, Professor Aris Arugay of the UP Department of Political Science said
02:42 that the change of the Senate leader is a big challenge for the Senators to show their independence.
02:49 I hope that the personal side of me will be reduced.
02:53 My feelings, my interests, my mind.
02:57 But given their public disturbance, it's the public interest that should bloom large rather than the personal interest.
