34 House members chalk up perfect attendance
ONLY 34 members of the House of Representatives registered a perfect attendance during the second regular session of the 15th Congress, records released by the Secretary General showed.
The number is only 12 percent of the 288-member House. The second regular session had 52 session days from July 25, 2011 to June 6, 2012. Congress is currently on a sine die adjournment and will open its third regular session on July 23, 2012.
Among those who chalked up perfect attendance are House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr.; Majority Leader Neptali Gonzales; former House Minority Leader and Albay Representative Edcel Lagman; and Cebu City Representative Rachel Marguerite “Cutie” Del Mar.
In the first regular session, data from House Secretary General records showed that 132 lawmakers, including former President-turned-Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, scored perfect attendance.
In the second regular session, however, Arroyo was only present for only 19 session days. She was absent for 33 days — 24 of which were due to medical reasons while nine days were without notices of absence.
Arroyo is under hospital detention at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center for electoral sabotage charges. She has previously been confined at the St. Luke’s Medical Center in Taguig City where she also underwent three surgeries.
Also topping the list of absentee lawmakers is Dinagat Islands Representative Ruben Ecleo who has been in hiding since last year. Ecleo only showed up in the plenary for only eight session days.
Recently, Ecleo was dropped from the roll of House members following his conviction in a string of graft cases.
Sarangani Representative and boxing icon Manny Pacquiao meanwhile was present for 31 session days.
Last week, Pacquiao fought American boxer Timothy Bradley at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas and lost via a controversial split decision.
Other lawmakers who registered a perfect attendance were Representatives Emmeline Aglipay (DIWA partylist); Jorge Almonte (Misamis Occidental); Leopoldo Bataoil (Pangasinan); Diosdado “Dato” Arroyo (Camarines Sur); Mitzi Cajayon (Caloocan); Jane Castro (Capiz); Jesus Celeste (Pangasinan); Enrique Cojuangco (Tarlac); Simeon Datumanong (Maguindanao); Erico Basilio Fabian (Zamboanga City); Salvio Fortuno (Camarines Sur); Albert Raymond Garcia (Bataan); Roilo Golez (Paranaque); Agapito Guanlao (BUTIL partylist); Teodorico Haresco Jr. (Kasangga partylist); David Kho (Senior Citizens partylist); Antonio Lagdameo Jr. (Davao del Norte); Isidro Lico (Ating Koop partylist); Eleandro Jesus Madrona (Romblon); Reena Obillo (Ang Pamilya partylist); Angelo Palmones (Agham partylist); Elmer Panotes (Camarines Norte); Jesus Emmanuel Paras (Bukidnon); Deogracias Ramos Jr. (Sorsogon); Herminia Roman (Bataan); Ferdinand Martin Romualdez (Leyte); Pedro Romulo (Camiguin); Nur-Ana Sahidulla; Cesar Sarmiento (Catanduanes); and Baby Aline Vargas-Alfonso (Cagayan).
