Erwin Tulfo apologizes to Senate employees over insubordination threats

Senator Erwin Tulfo has formally expressed regret for his previous remarks directed at Senate staff members. The lawmaker had earlier warned that he would initiate investigations and pursue insubordination charges against any employees who failed to comply with Senator Sherwin Gatchalian’s leadership. Following the backlash from these comments, Tulfo opted to retract his stance and offer a public apology. This gesture aims to de-escalate tensions within the legislative chamber. The senator’s office has since moved to clarify his position regarding administrative cooperation.

The apology serves to address concerns regarding the professional conduct of lawmakers toward Senate personnel and the maintenance of a respectful workplace environment.
