Peace offering: Flowers for Miriam from Fariñas
Santiago and Fariñas had a spat last week over quorum rules during a Commission on Appointments (CA) hearing

MANILA, Philippines – Ilocos Norte Representative Rodolfo Fariñas came bearing flowers for Senator Miriam Santiago on Wednesday, September 17, as the Committee on Appointment resumed its hearing.

The two lawmakers have clearly made peace and posed together for the cameras.

Santiago last week walked out of the hearing of the sub-committee on foreign affairs because she said she was irked by Fariñas, who debated her over rules on quorum.

The CA hearing was for the appointment of ambassadors and foreign service officers.

Santiago wanted to start the hearing but Fariñas said there was no quorum.

The senator then adjourned the hearing and left the session hall. – Rappler.com
