Cavite 4th District Representative Francisco Barzaga expressed confidence about his future, even as discussions about his potential expulsion from the House of Representatives arise.
In a recent interview, Barzaga stated, "Not really," when asked if he was concerned about being expelled.
"Even if I lose my job in Congress, I’m pretty sure I’ll be fine since I have plenty of other opportunities in life," he added.
Barzaga's latest suspension from the House has now concluded.
Deputy Speaker Janette Garin, representing Iloilo's 1st District, has called for Barzaga's expulsion.
With the numerous complaints already pending, yes. Because nothing is changing.

Garin emphasized that repeated suspensions in Congress often lead to harsher penalties.
Historically, in Congress, if you were already suspended and then you have another suspension—and in his case, the second suspension had a very strong warning that if he repeats it—it will proceed to a higher penalty.
