GORDON vs. TRILLANES!!! PANOORIN ANG SAGUTAN NILA!!!

Senator Richard Gordon on Thursday moved to cite Senator Antonio Trillanes in contempt and threatened him with an ethics complaint after they traded barbs during a hearing. 

After questioning private broker Mark Taguba, Trillanes told the committee that it was being "jittery" and was already badgering the witness.

Gordon asked him to clarify if he and Majority Leader Senator Vicente Sotto are being referred to, and Trillanes said: "If you feel alluded to, then that’s your problem."

"You’re so fond of making names here. I was making general statements. If you want to make general statements, you better prove it. This is the Senate of the Philippines; this is not a cockpit of chismis. We are here investigating real things. Wag nang magdadaldal dito ng hindi mo nalalalaman," Gordon replied.

The Blue Ribbon Committee chair then ruled Trillanes "out of order" and suspended their hearing on the P6.4-billion drug shipment from China.

Despite the suspension, Trillanes spoke on his microphone and said: "Nagiging komite de abswelto ang Blue Ribbon Committee."

This statement irked Gordon, who moved that Trillanes be cited in contempt, but the former soldier objected.

"I made an objection, your honor. You are not a one-man committee here," said Trillanes.

This ignited further Gordon's ire who said he will file an ethics complaint.

"Yes please do so. I welcome that," answered Trillanes.

"The gentleman has been accusing everybody in the Senate of everything. In the past, you got away. Senator Zubiri and you almost got into a slugfest," said Gordon.

"I am asking the Majority Floor Leader to convoke the Ethics Committee and I will file personally an ethics committee case against the gentleman from Bicol," he said.
