Top 5 News This Week: Pia Cayetano, Bato dela Rosa, Sara Duterte

Another week, another meltdown at the Senate.

Senator Pia Cayetano bemoans what she felt was her minority colleagues’ lack of concern over last week’s shooting ordeal, which the Department of the Interior and Local Government now says was not an attack.

The Department of Justice officially orders the arrest of Senator Ronald dela Rosa, after they had him right under their noses. He is back in hiding, with many thanks to his colleague Robin Padilla, who just couldn’t say no to a friend in distress.

Meanwhile, members of the august body have retrieved their velvet robes from the closet as they set about trying the impeached Vice President Sara Duterte once more.
