House expels Barzaga over disorderly conduct

The House of Representatives on Tuesday voted to expel Cavite Rep. Francisco “Kiko” Barzaga for what lawmakers described as disruptive and disorderly behavior, making him only the second legislator in the past three years—and just the second in modern congressional history—to be removed from the chamber’s roster.

He was persuaded by Senator Migz Zubiri and was named chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Works and Highways, and into the powerful Commission on Appointments.
