Metro Manila, Philippines – Cavite Rep. Kiko Barzaga will face an ethics complaint for violating the House Code of Ethics, the National Unity Party (NUP) said on Monday, Sept. 15.
Barzaga was a member of the NUP until he quit last week after House Deputy Speaker Ronnie Puno implicated him in a supposed ouster plot against Speaker Martin Romualdez. Puno denied accusing Barzaga.
Citing Barzaga’s behavior and his posts on social media, Puno said the lawmaker did not act in a manner that reflects creditably on the House; engaged in acts contrary to law, good morals, customs, and public policy; exhibited conduct that incites seditious activity, and conduct unbecoming a House member.
Puno, NUP chairman, presented screenshots of Barzaga’s posts that showed “lewd” content and “ostentatious” wealth.
