‘Senate was under attack!’

MANILA, Philippines — Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano on Thursday maintained that the Senate was under attack as he insisted that the disappearance of Sen. Ronald Dela Rosa was not a “diversionary tactic.”

The senator lost his cool when asked about the shooting incident Wednesday night.

“You were also in danger last night,” he told reporters at a press briefing.
