Minority senators absent during shake-up, some attend CA

During the Senate's special session on Wednesday, none of the minority senators showed up for the first half, but some later attended the Commission on Appointments meeting when the plenary was suspended. Senators Rodante Marcoleta, Imee Marcos, Loren Legarda, and Christopher “Bong” Go entered the session hall without offering any explanation for their attendance. This absence and subsequent attendance without clear reasons highlight the dynamics and potential internal divisions within the Senate minority bloc, raising questions about their priorities and engagement during critical legislative moments.
