Senator Joel Villanueva and his father, Cibac Rep. Eddie Villanueva, attended the hearings of the House and Senate versions of the SOGIE equality bill, respectively delaying the hearing of the proposals. | JMangaluzINQ
The elder Villanueva disrupted the House hearing of eight Sogie equality bills, calling it “illegal” due to forum shopping. This forced the chair of the Committee on Women and Gender Equality Rep. Geraldine Roman to call a recess.
“While Bro. Eddie tried to delay Sogie Equality Bill in the Congress, his son, Joel Villanueva is taking actions to kill for SOGIE Equality Bill in the Senate. The Bill is now referred to the Committee on Rules chaired by Sen. Joel. And for sure, he won’t make it a priority,” she said.
