'Hindi po ito ‘force majeure’. Iyan po ay ‘UNFORCED ERROR’.'
Lacson pointed this out in referrence to Sen. Robinhood Padilla’s social media post where the latter pointedly asked if war in the Middle East and the conflict between China and Taiwan were not force majeure in justifying the Senate Majority bloc’s push to allow senators to participate and vote in plenary sessions online.
Lacson and other minority senators had earlier rejected the move to allow senators' online participation as the Senate rules allow virtual participation only during force majeure and time of national emergency. (via Hannah L. Torregoza | MB)
