Miriam blasts media
Santiago on Tuesday downplayed Aguirre's statement. "That is just black propaganda meant to discredit me," she said.
However, she suddenly stood up from her seat at the Senate session hall and called for a press conference.
She went looking for an ABS-CBN News team and vented her ire on them.
"Niko Baua, binayaran ka ba? I am so very disappointed in you," she asked.
Miriam scolded journalists whom she accused of allowing themselves to be used by her "enemies."
She said media should focus on her work as a senator and not at criticisms against her.
"Tinanong mo pa yan sa akin. Syempre nabastos ako, nakakainsulto. Bata pa ako, alam ko na ang ginagawa para mabayaran kayo," she claimed
Santiago quickly ended the press conference.
