MANILA, Philippines — A woman drew the ire of Senate Pro Tempore Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada for taking videos of him while he was presiding over a hearing in the Senate on Wednesday.

“Sandali, ano ba ang ginagawa mo at kuha ka ng kuha ng video sa akin? (Wait, why are you always taking video footage of me?),” said Estrada, who was presiding over the hearing on the case of tortured maid Bonita Baran.

Baran was the housemaid, who was allegedly maltreated by Analiza Marzan.

“Who are you, ha? Why are you always taking videos of me. I’ve been noticing that,” Estrada went on addressing a woman sitting behind Marzan and husband, Reynold.

“No, no, no. You’re focusing your camera on me. How are you related to these spouses? What is the reason for you taking videos of me? Ha? You plan to put me on YouTube? Are you a member of the media?”

“My goodness! Kanina pa ako nakakahalata sa ’yo e. Kanina ka pa kuha nang kuha,” Estrada added.
