Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano is marked absent again on Monday from both the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte and the Senate plenary session. Senate secretary Renato Bantug says there is no notice or communication from Cayetano’s office explaining the absence.
The reports also note that as of the time of writing, Cayetano’s office has not disclosed the reason for his continued absence. The two outlets cited Senate records showing Cayetano missing from the scheduled proceedings, and both refer to Bantug’s statement that he received no communication regarding whether an explanation was submitted. The coverage focuses on the lack of notice from Cayetano’s office rather than on any stated justification, and it does not include information from other parties about the senator’s whereabouts or status in the trial.
