MANILA, Philippines -- Maybe an ice cream treat can cool heads amid the heated exchanges between Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. over the handling of the ethics case against Senator Manuel Villar Jr.

Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri said on Sunday he would be ready to host a meeting between the two Senate leaders over ice cream, saying he hoped that the word war between them—which sizzled during the weekend—would not spill over to the floor at the resumption of sessions on Monday.

“I don’t know what will happen (on Monday). There might be war in the Senate but I hope there won’t be,’’ Zubiri told radio station dzBB.

Pimentel is due to deliver a privilege speech at the Senate on Monday that is expected to only further fuel his feud with Enrile.

On Sunday, sparks continued to fly as Enrile and Pimentel traded barbs in separate interviews in radio anchor Nimfa Rogado-Ravelo’s program over dzBB.

The two had been openly squabbling following the decision to investigate Villar for alleged unethical behavior by the Senate acting as a committee of the whole with the minority bloc protesting what it said were unfair rules that were adopted.

The gov't might as well go against the whole internets and pirates around the world if they wanna change anything. Hayden's one incident too little to affect society. I never understood why this whole incident is such a big thing.

Well, they won't react kung hindi pa. Pero ako hindi pa, wala din plans. Malas nila, kababalik lang ni Shinigami dun sa -ahem- discs ko...
Personally, I find this whole issue boring. They did it, some idiot leaked it, lawsuit here, lawsuit there. Di kasi sila nagiisip ng maayos eh.
