Former minority leader and comebacking Albay Representative Edcel Lagman cautioned his colleagues in the House of Representatives about a “co-opted” minority that would serve as a “rubber stamp” of the Duterte administration.

In a statement on Monday, Lagman, who gained prominence for authoring the Reproductive Health law, warned against a move by the majority allies of President Rodrigo Duterte to infiltrate the minority to make it a “co-opted” bloc in Congress.
