The flu scare has reached the Philippine Senate.
The Senate committee of the whole, who has been hearing the case against Senator Manuel Villar Jr. on the ethics complaint could not resume Thursday after the complainant – Sen. Jamby Madrigal – moved for the hearing’s suspension because she was stricken with fever and laryngitis.
On hearing that Madrigal has been suffering from fever and a sore throat, Sen. Rodolfo Biazon suggested that she be tested for the influenza A (H1N1) virus as she seemed to be exhibiting symptoms of the disease.
Sen. Manuel Roxas II said Madrigal should be asked to submit a doctor’s certificate declaring her swine flu-free, to allay suspicions that the majority bloc was biased in its treatment of members.
