Tension rose in the Senate Thursday, June 3, after Senator Cynthia Villar accused Senate President Vicente Sotto III of giving “special attention” to colleagues who have been attending plenary session

s physically.Sotto and Villar later made peace after the heated exchange during the chamber’s discussion on the bicameral conference committee report on the bill seeking to modernize the Bureau of Fire Protection , the ratification of which was rejected over the insertion of an amendment that would authorize firemen to purchase and bear guns.

“No, he was not — he did not answer the call of the roll and during the voting, he was not there also,” Sotto said.Sotto, however, said: “I don’t think we should put it that way, because if you are going to put it that way, you have to be here, present, physically, so your vote will be counted. Hindi ganoon .”

Sotto tried to clarify that it was not pertaining to any of his collleagues and that he only meant to point out that Go was not present during the voting, but Villar continued. “Because you always say that you are not always here, as if you give special attention to those who [go] there,” Villar told Sotto.“I take exception to what you are saying, Senator Villar, you should listen to what I’m saying. I was pertaining to Sen. Go, if you are not online you could’ve been here. Now if you are not here, physically present, [and] you are not online, therefore, you are not present. You are absent,” Sotto said.
