00:01Senator Mig Zubiri says being betrayed twice by members of the majority factored in his decision to join the minority.
00:07Zubiri says the betrayal came from Senators Bato de la Rosa, Bongo, Aimee Marcos, and Robin Padilla.
00:25The senator claims he was first betrayed in May 2024 when he was ousted as Senate President and replaced by
00:31Senator Cheez Escudero.
00:32The second was at the start of the 20th Congress when the same group allegedly promised to bring him back
00:37to the post only to go back on this promise days later.
00:47Zubiri says the betrayal was something he could never forget and forgive.
00:51Despite this, he still calls de la Rosa, who is now in hiding from his arrest warrant from the International
00:55Criminal Court, his friend and compadre.
00:58Zubiri was among those who walked out of the Senate plenary Tuesday, May 26, after heated debates on a motion
01:04to allow Senators to vote in absentia.
01:06This is the travesty of our rules.
