MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Erwin Tulfo on Sunday apologized to the Cayetano bloc senators after he threatened to arrest them if they held another unauthorized and “fake” hearing.
During a Friday interview, Tulfo asserted his authority as Senate blue ribbon committee chair, warning that he would order the arrest of his colleagues and physically drag Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano by the collar if they conducted any more “fake” hearings.
“I sincerely apologize to my colleagues for my aggressive remarks regarding the arrest, manhandling, and dragging of Senator Cayetano and other individuals out of the session or plenary hall,” the senator said in a statement.
