                    [Summary] => No heated exchange of words ever took place and they remain civil to each other.


Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. said this yesterday as he insisted feuding opposition Senators Panfilo Lacson and Edgardo Angara have not engaged in a shouting match during a caucus of the minority bloc last Monday. 


Pimentel took exception to reports that the two feuding opposition lawmakers shouted at each other during the closed-door meeting.

                    [Summary] => Opposition Sen. Panfilo Lacson refused to further tangle yesterday with his former party boss, Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP) president Sen. Edgardo Angara.


Asked by The STAR to respond to Angara’s accusation that he was a modern-day makapili who "sold the opposition down the river" during the May presidential election, Lacson’s answer was short but not sweet: "He is not worth my time!" 


In a text message to a broadcaster, he said his former party boss "can talk all he wants but I won’t answer him."

The filing of CoCs started Dec. 15 and will end on Jan. 5. Both Poe and Lacson are expected to file their CoCs after Christmas.
