Quezon is currently making rounds online following his criticism of the “harutan” of Ilocos Norte 1st district Representative Sandro Marcos and Cavite 8th district Representative Aniela Tolentino in the middle of a session.

In a video, Tolentino can be seen speaking while Marcos is looking at her. Then all of sudden, the female congresswoman laughed and hit Marcos. After that, the latter walked away… smiling.

While some seemed to be thrilled in their interaction, other personalities did not like it and among those is the writer Manuel L. Quezon III who slammed the two by calling them: “kindergaten in suits”.
