(UPDATES) A HEATED debate over a resolution on enlisted men's barrio (Embo) almost resulted in a fistfight between Sens. Alan Cayetano and Juan Miguel Zubiri, both former Senate presidents.

Cayetano said he filed Senate Concurrent Resolution 23 because the 10 Embo villages — comprised of 336,873 residents — now part of Taguig City should be given the right to vote for their congressional representative in the 2025 midterm elections.
