During the third Senate hearing of the extra-judicial killings in Davao City where witness Edgar Matobato linked President Duterte to the killings in Davao City while he was still the mayor, Senator Trillanes and Senator Cayetano had a heated argument.
The two senators, Senator Trillanes and Senator Cayetano, President Duterte's running mate in the last elections, had an exchanging of words making Senator Trillanes stopped and intentionally turned off Senator Cayetano's microphone, asking why Senator Cayetano has given an additional time to ask, he's been speaking way past the 10-minute allotment per senator.
The exchanges happened as Senator Cayetano grilled witness Edgar Matobato to check his credibility as a witness. He said he also wanted to "test" his theories on the motives behind the alleged former Davao Death Squad member's decision to speak about the killings in Davao City when President Duterte was still mayor.
Senator Cayetano narrated the arguments he had with Senator Trillanes.
Sen. Cayetano: alam mo yung init ng ulo nya sa mga hearing, normal yun eh, naging kasama ko yan ika nga sa hirap at ginhawa minsan malamig ulo, minsan mainit ang ulo nagulat lang ako dahil palalayasin nya ako sa hearing o patitigilin dahil hindi raw ako myembro. Ang hindi nya alam, kasama ang privilege speech ko sa agenda for that purpose, myembro ako ng committee. Tumingin sya sa akin, tumingin ako kay chairman, sabi nya "hindi talaga kita papapormahin dito. Bakit akala mo papapormahin kita dito?"
Sen. Cayetano:"ha? senator din ako, hinalal ako ng tao eh. Anong sinasabi mo? hindi mo ako pagsasalitain dito?"
Sen. Trillanes: so ano? yung mga pangarap mo natutupad na ba? hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling yun, so sabi ko: anong mga pangarap? anu-anong sinasabi mo eh hearing ang pinag-uusapan natin
Sen. Trillanes: You're protecting evil Senator.
Cayetano: i'm not protecting evil.
Sen. Trillanes: 'coz you're into evil na.
Sen. Cayetano: You're EVIL.
Senator De Lima, chair of the committee on justice and human rights, was then urged to suspend the hearing "to clear the air." She stood up between Senator Trillanes and Senator Cayetano and appeared to signal that the two senators separate
