In the Philippines, Senate Minority Senators Panfilo Lacson and Erwin Tulfo are exploring the possibility of filing an ethics complaint against Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano due to the majority bloc's ongoing absence from Senate sessions. Lacson remarked that this absence could be seen as a dereliction of duty, allowing any taxpayer to file a complaint with the Senate ethics committee. He expressed concern over the impact of canceled sessions on pending legislation, stating that the leadership's actions are undermining the Senate. Tulfo added that while the minority bloc may discuss the complaint, it should ideally come from concerned citizens. The minority bloc has publicly called for Cayetano's resignation, citing a violation of Senate rules that require consultation before postponing sessions. They argue that this behavior shows a blatant disregard for the Senate's responsibilities and the Filipino people.
