Despite being slapped with a second sucessive 60-day suspension without pay, Cavite 4th district Rep. Francisco "Kiko" Barzaga still won't categorically promise to behave on social media.

House of Representatives reporters were able to speak to Barzaga just minutes after his solon-colleagues adopted and enforced his new penalty during plenary session Wednesday, Feb. 2.

He appeared relaxed, unbothered, and was still very on brand "congressmeow" in terms of his reactions.

Asked if he would now be more circumspect or careful with his social media posts after they got him in trouble a second time, Barzaga replied: "Siguro mag lie low muna (Perhaps I would lie low for a while)."

When pressed on the matter, the Gen Z lawmaker gave a longer but less definite answer.

"Well, that's still--you can't really rely on a politician's promises but we'll see in my next attitude in the next two months," he said with a serious face.

Barzaga then went back to sporting a huge smile as reporters quizzed him on what he would do in the next 60 days.

"I'll play with my cats. And dogs," he said.

His fresh 60-day suspension came a mere six days after he finished his first 60-day suspension. The first punishment resulted from "disorderly behavior" that stemmed from his inflammatory and lewd posts on his verified social media accounts.

The House Committee on Ethics and Privileges recommended during plenary session Wednesday the new penalty on Barzaga after it found that the respondent "committed repeated, escalating misconduct during the period of his suspension from office during Dec. 1, 2025 to Jan. 30, 2026 which reflected negatively upon the dignity, integrity, and reputation of the House of Representatives".

Barzaga, 27, had choice words for the committee.

"The House ethics Ccmmittee is a very--I wouldn't say biased-- but it's very one-sided. It's not similar to a court...I cannot expect a proper hearing, an unbiased or impartial hearing in the ethics committee," he said.

Before the plenary action, the ethics panel held a hearing Tuesday to deliberate on Barzaga's four complaints-slash-referrals. He reportedly didn't attend the hearing despite being invited to participate multiple times.
