Updated list of House members absent during FOI roll call


Faced with heavy criticism for the non-ratification of the Freedom of Information Bill, House Speaker Prospero Nograles on Saturday released the names of at least 135 congressmen who were either absent or were present but did not respond to the roll call. Their absence during roll call resulted in a lack of quorum, which in effect killed the FOI bill as the 14th Congress adjourned on Friday. Senior Deputy Majority Leader Neptali Gonzales II, Anak Mindanao Rep. Mujiv Hataman, South Cotabato Rep. Arthur Pingoy and Rizal Rep. Jack Duavit were previously on the list, but they told GMANews.TV on Monday that they were present during the session.
