Escudero shows up at Senate plenary amid Cayetano-led group’s boycott

Sen. Francis Escudero attended Wednesday's Senate plenary session despite a boycott led by Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano and his allies, who were absent to prevent the session from convening. This move highlights the ongoing tensions within the Senate majority bloc, raising questions about the political dynamics and power struggles among its members. Escudero's presence suggests he might be pushing against the boycott, indicating a potential rift that could have significant implications for the legislative agenda and party unity.
