00:00Cavite 4th District Rep. Kiko Barzaga misses the Ethics Committee hearing on his case Monday,
00:06October 13. He says he was playing video games the night before. The committee held an initial
00:11deliberation of the complaint filed by National Unity Party lawmakers against Barzaga for supposed
00:16unethical conduct in the House. This refers in particular to the statements that could
00:21potentially incite sedition, including the online jokes he made about setting Batasang Pambansa
00:25on fire. Deputy Speaker and NUP Chairman Ronaldo Puno says the Ethics Committee tried to form a
00:31subcommittee to help Barzaga and his former partymates settle their dispute, but both parties
00:35refused, resulting in a full proceeding. The committee postponed any disciplinary action against Barzaga.
