This comes to mind the tumultuous tenure of Alan Peter Cayetano as speaker of the House under the Duterte regime: a fractured chamber with a cantankerous head of household
For those inclined to read doomsday messages in current events, the ascendance of Senator Alan Peter Cayetano to the Senate presidency can be likened to the arrival of one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. I prefer pestilence, with emphasis on the vernacular: peste. Nagka-peste peste ang Senado mula nang umupo si Cayetano.
Former senators have described recent events at the chamber as an embarrassment, with one wondering aloud if the Senate can ever recover its image as a moral force — a bastion of law, amity, and sobriety — when the new leadership has planted discord, conflict, and contempt for the very laws it is supposed to uphold.
The hatred for Cayetano online is near universal. But that won’t move him one inch from his lofty post. On the contrary, it only triggers his instinct to hold on and survive. This is, after all, a man who has made a career of ignoring and outlasting the disdain of those around him.
