Gordon wants Trillanes expelled from Senate

Senator Richard Gordon on Wednesday said he wants Senator Antonio Trillanes IV expelled from the Senate, just days after filing an ethics complaint against the former mutineer.

“I don’t think he belongs in the Senate. His behavior is really out of line,” he told ANC’s Headstart.

Gordon was asked in the interview if he believes Trillanes has to be expelled from their chamber.

He replied: “I think so. You don’t call people names. You don’t insult your teammates.”

“There are rules. He doesn’t know his rules, that’s why he goes up to the deep end,” he said.

“When that happens, what do you have? A mob. You cannot have a mob in the Senate. People are expected to act in a certain way,” he added.

Gordon said the Senate has to act on the complaint and not put it on the backburner simply because it was against one of their colleagues.
