Vice President Sara Duterte went to the Senate where she visited the offices of Senators Rodante Marcoleta and Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa.

Duterte first went to Marcoleta’s office where other “Duterte senators” Senators Bong Go and Imee Marcos also entered.

Duterte subsequently visited Dela Rosa’s office where she stayed for several minutes.

Prior to this, the Senate postponed the hearing on the budget of the Office of the Vice President and scheduled it for Monday, September 22.

Duterte declined to answer media questions because she said she was “boarding” and would be heading to Sultan Kudarat.

Duterte promised to give an interview to the media after her trip.

Dela Rosa declined to provide details of their conversation with the Vice President.

Senate

The Senate is one of the two chambers of the United States Congress, established by the Constitution in 1789. It provides equal representation with two senators from each state and was designed to be a more deliberative and stable body than the House of Representatives. Historically, it was intended to represent the interests of the states and to act as a check on potential democratic excesses.
