Senators Juan Miguel Zubiri and Antonio Trillanes IV engaged in a word war during Tuesday’s legislative session following Trillanes’ accusation that Zubiri, along with Senator Richard Gordon, attempted to “whitewash” a Senate probe that would look into the bribery scandal involving former Bureau of Immigration (BI) officials.
Zubiri said he took offense on Trillanes’ allegation, which stemmed from his opposition to refer the resolution seeking an investigation on the BI corruption scandal to the Senate committee on civil service, government reorganization and professional conduct.
