00:00Agri-Congressman Wilbert Lee faces an ethics complaint at the House of Representatives
00:05over a microphone-grabbing incident in September.
00:08House Appropriations Senior Vice Chair Stella Kimbo and Vice Chair Angelica Natasha Koh
00:12filed the case Monday, October 14.
00:15During plenary debates for the 2025 national budget, Lee grabbed the mic from Senior Deputy
00:20Minority Leader Paul Daza to prevent him from ending the proceedings.
00:24Lee had sought to defer the approval of the proposed budget of the Health Department and
00:27PhilHealth, saying the agencies must address the high price of medical services.
00:32The incident earned Lee the ire of several other lawmakers, who accused him of grandstanding
00:36as he aspires for a Senate seat.
00:39Lee is running for Senator in 2025 under Acción Democrático.
00:42He says he's ready to explain his side once summoned by the Ethics Committee.
