Negros Occidental Rep. Julio Ledesma IV has called Senator Alan Peter Cayetano a “disgrace to the Senate” and to the House of Representatives, where Cayetano previously served as a member.
The lawmaker made the statement on social media following Cayetano’s recent boycott of a Senate session.
According to Ledesma, the senator appeared to be trivializing his duties as a legislator.
As a result, he said he would urge local government units in the First District of Negros Occidental to declare Cayetano persona non grata.
In his post, Ledesma wrote: “Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano — you are a disgrace to the Senate and as a former member of the House — you’ve done this twice. For trivializing your duty as a legislator, I will urge the LGUs of the 1st District of Negros Occidental to declare you persona non grata. This is my ask of our district, and I will get this.”
