00:02 At least four more senators signed an objection letter
00:05 seeking to reverse a Senate panel's decision to hold
00:08 embattled preacher Apolo Q. Buloy in contempt for snubbing a hearing.
00:11 Senator Robin Padilla was the first to object the ruling
00:14 and identified the others with him as Senators Bongo, J.V. Ejercito,
00:18 Cynthia Villar, and Aimee Marcos.
00:20 Senator Ejercito later withdraws his signature on the objection.
00:24 Ejercito says he withdrew after careful review of the facts,
00:27 witness testimonies, and additional information.
00:29 Padilla says he personally calls on other senators to sign the objection.
00:33 He claims his position has nothing to do with his friendship with Q. Buloy,
00:37 but says he considers Q. Buloy an ally in his advocacy against the communist rebellion.
00:41 Padilla has five more days starting March 7 to convince four more senators to object
00:46 and prevent the Senate from ordering Q. Buloy's arrest.
