In a ‘hybrid’ Senate hearing on Tuesday, Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa exclaimed, “Ang sarap ng buhay! Sana ganito na lang tayo palagi,” after the session was adjourned earlier than expected.
[This is a good life! I wish we were always like this.]
Now Bato’s ‘good life’ may just be cut short as he is being asked by his fellow senators to attend next Monday’s session physically after he drew flak on social media for exclaiming a sigh of celebration after a recent session ended early.
“There is a directive being ordered by Senator [Ping] Lacson, [Francis] Tolentino, [Win] Gatchalian and myself,” Senate President Tito Sotto said Wednesday. “We are hereby directing Senator Bato dela Rosa to attend the session on Monday physically because he’s becoming very popular in social media.”
Sotto also said in jest that this is also for Dela Rosa to enjoy Lacson’s birthday merienda on Monday.
Dela Rosa said he will comply with the order.
