OPPOSITION Congressman Didagen Dilangalen blew his top during a joint congressional hearing Wednesday when during an interpellation he received a note, which told him to "shut up."

"Shut up you're wasting taxpayer's money," Dilangalen said, reading the note to the crowd.

"I move that whoever prepared this must be cited in contempt and incarcerated unless he apologizes," Dilangalen told presiding officers Senate President Pro-Tempore Juan Flavier and House Deputy Speaker for the
Visayas Raul Gonzalez.

Suzette Pido, a self-confessed supporter of incumbent Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, admitted to writing the note.

"I've been sitting here for three days and nothing has happened," she told reporters.

Pido was placed under the custody of the House security group.

Pido's daughter, Joanna, confessed to passing the note to Dilangalen.

Before he got the note, Dilangalen was interpellating Senate Majorty Floor Leader Francis Pangilinan.

Dilangalen moved to adjourn the session but his colleagues rejected the motion.
:mad: :D

I beg to disagree with everybody, it might be true that digs is delaying the proceedings or he might be saying nonesense thing, but the fact is still a congressman and having he's speech in th plenary albeit nonesense, we have rules to follow if you can't stand long speeches then the girl and her mom should not be there in the first place, you can't just say "shut up" to a congressman especially if it's in the plenary.... freedom of speech??? I don't think so.......if they can't respect the person at least respect the position and the place......

unang impression ko is parang tama lang yun ginawa ng girl, dahil nagpapatagal lang si digs... pero kung iisipin mo talaga wrong place and wrong time.....
