00:00Why did Sen. Erwin Tulfo share an illustration on Facebook depicting him being stabbed in the
00:05back by Senators Padilla, Villar and Pia? This following the Senate Electoral Tribunal's 6-3
00:11vote on his citizenship case. Tulfo says he was hurt by the 6-3 vote at the Senate Electoral
00:17Tribunal which upheld the dismissal of a petition seeking to unseat him over alleged citizenship
00:22issues. He declines to name the senators who voted against him, saying he was saddened by their
00:27decision. The Senators are reportedly Robin Padilla, Camille Villar and Pia Cayetano, all from the
00:33minority. The Tribunal says it denied petitioner Berteni Causing's motion for reconsideration of
00:38its March 2 decision which dismissed the Co-Waranto petition for being insufficient in form.
00:44Senator Ping Laxon also questions the vote of the three Senators. He says,
00:48Justice and fairness went out of the window. He adds,
00:52Their motive may be deeper than personal issues against Sen. Tulfo. Had the set removed Tulfo from
00:58office, the number of active Senators' judges participating in the impeachment trial of Vice
01:02President Sara Duterte would have fallen to 19.
