“Resorting to ad hominems directed at our constituents clamoring for better public service may be considered a violation of our oath of office,” Paduano later warned, as he cited Section 4, paragraph C of the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees of Republic Act 6713.

That act states that “public officials and employees must act with justness and sincerity and shall not discriminate against anyone, especially the poor and the underprivileged”.The least we can expect from him is to show remorse, and yet, none is coming,” Paduano lamented.when it comes to Covid-19 vaccines, citing the large quantity of Filipinos who need to be vaccinated against the viral illness.
