00:00The House of Representatives suspends Cavite 4th District Representative Kiko Barzaga for 60 days for disorderly behavior, this over social media posts that his colleagues have found to be reckless.
00:12A total of 249 lawmakers voted on Monday, December 1, to adopt the Ethics Committee recommendation to sanction the neophyte lawmaker.
00:20Taken in their entirety, the actions of Rep. Barzaga bring contempt, discredit, and disrepute to the name of the House of Representatives.
00:27His actions reflected negatively upon the dignity, integrity, and reputation of the House of Representatives as an institution of the members of the House individually and collectively.
00:38That repetition of similar misconduct will result to a more severe disciplinary action.
00:44The punishment stems from the complaint filed by his former partymates at the National Unity Party.
00:49They cite various online posts by Barzaga that supposedly demeaned women and undermine government institutions.
00:55Suspension is the second gravest penalty that can be imposed on a House member next to expulsion.
01:02A suspended congressman is barred from attending sessions, receiving salary, and enjoying office space in the House.
01:08I wholeheartedly accept the decision of the committee, but I maintain my stance that President Marcos must be held accountable for his crimes.
01:15Too many people have died and too much money was plundered from the Filipino people for us to stand down now.
