MANILA, Philippines—For the first time in the history of the Senate, the session was suspended for no valid reason.
Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano was supposed to resume session at 5 p.m. But he and fellow members in the majority group did not show up.
Members of the minority bloc stayed until past 7 p.m. as they waited for the majority group to arrive.
They finally decided to leave after the air-conditioning system and wi-fi connection at the session hall were turned off, said Sen. Raffy Tulfo.
