Cayetano rejects Tulfo’s ‘relax’ call, says Filipinos seek flood probe

Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano rejected calls from Senator Erwin Tulfo to 'relax' regarding the ongoing Senate blue ribbon panel investigation into a major flood control scandal. Cayetano argued that Filipinos demand accountability for what he described as the largest corruption scandal in Philippine history, involving trillions of pesos. Tulfo, who leads the blue ribbon panel, had previously urged Cayetano to 'relax' and not become overly concerned. Cayetano countered by accusing Tulfo of being overly emotional during his radio appearances and questioned the urgency of the probe, noting that the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte occupies much of the Senate's time. He also stated that hearings could continue outside the main session hall.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both perspectives: Cayetano's insistence on continued investigation and Tulfo's suggestion to 'relax.'
