Senate was not under attack —Malacañang

Following the shooting incident at the Senate last week, Malacañang on Monday stood firm that the chamber was “not under attack.”

“Was it under attack? It was not. The Senate was not under attack, you can see that in the news. It was a statement only by Senate President Alan Cayetano,” Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro said in a press conference.

The shooting incident at the Senate happened last Wednesday, amid the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa in connection with his role in the war on drugs of the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte. —AOL, GMA News
