Senate finally convenes amid alleged Cayetano-led group’s boycott

The Senate resumed its session after a day-long adjournment, with only Sen. Francis Escudero from the majority bloc showing up, while all 11 members of the minority bloc attended. This follows an alleged boycott by a group led by Sen. Alan Cayetano, which had stalled proceedings. The boycott highlights tensions within the Senate, reflecting broader political divisions and raising questions about governance and legislative efficiency in the Philippines. This internal strife underscores the challenges faced in passing crucial legislation and maintaining a stable political environment.
