BREAKING NEWS: Hocog, Manglona engage in shouting match during session’s recess
Sen. Paul A. Manglona (Ind-Rota) and Sen. Victor B. Hocog (R-Rota) engaged in a shouting match during the recess of today’s Senate special session intended to tackle the Impeachment Rules.
Video shows that the heated argument erupted when Manglona, who walked out of the session, later insisted with Senate president Jude U. Hofschneider (R-Tinian) during the recess to allow him to talk at the podium.
Hofschneider explained to Manglona that the public comment portion was already closed.
Manglona then went inside the chamber and stated something in a loud voice, triggering a shouting match in the vernacular with Hocog.
A legislative sergeant-at-arms, Hofschneider, and Sen. Edith E. DeLeon Guerrero (D-Saipan) had to stay in the middle to stop and pacify Hocog who was approaching to Manglona.
Another sergeant-at arms also pacified Manglona.
More details to follow.
