Sen. Ping Lacson shared this pos featuring Sen. Tito Sotto
Senate President Pro Tempore Vicente Tito Sotto III was reportedly using only a monobloc chair and table, along with a lamp, while working in his new Senate office, according to a photo shared by Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson.
To recall, a video circulated ton social media showing that the office that Sotto is set occupy was found “stripped.” It was revealed that the fixtures were removed, including the light switches.
The office was previously occupied by Senator Jinggoy Estrada, who is now being detained at the New Quezon City Jail Male Dormitory in Barangay Payatas, Quezon City because of his alleged connection with an alleged P573 million kickback scheme involving flood control projects.
In a social media post on the evening of Monday, October 5, Sen. Ping Lacson shared the photo of Sen. Tito Sotto working in his new office.
Sotto was sittin on a monobloc chair, while writing on a paper on a monobloc table, with a “lampara” on it.
“Poor Senate President Pro Tempore Tito Sotto. Naka monobloc table and chair at lampara na lang. Mistulang “barebones” ang bago niyang opisina. Binaklas kasi lahat ng dating occupant – from the floor tiles, walls and cabinets to the toilet fixtures and wall outlets – inubos,” Lacson wrote in the caption of his post.
In the comment section, Lacson received different reactions. Some said that it was obviously an AI image, while some criticized Sen. Jinggoy Estrada for leaving that room in that condition. Here are some comments.
On the other hand, a netizen shared a screenshot of a news report stating that there was a scheduled construction and renovation in the room vacated by Sen. Estrada.
As of this writing, the camp of Sen. Jinggoy Estrada has not released a statement yet regarding this matter.
