00:00The House of Representatives expels Cavite 4th District Representative Kiko Barzaga,
00:05making him the second lawmaker in Philippine history to receive such a penalty.
00:09The plenary determined that he continued his unruly conduct on social media.
00:22Barzaga had already been slapped with two 60-day suspensions prior to his expulsion.
00:27His colleagues punished him for his online antics,
00:29including his apparent vilification of his fellow National Unity Party member, the late Romeo Acop.
00:34It also includes his bribery allegations against billionaire Enrique Razon.
00:39He had also been called out for posts that joked about setting the Batasang Pambansa on fire.
00:44Barzaga's expulsion ends his family's reign over the Dasmariñas Congressional District.
00:48He follows in the footsteps of Arnie Tevez, whom the House ejected in 2023 after his prolonged absence.
