WATCH: De Lima walks out of Senate session hall

Leila De Lima walked out of Senate's session hall on Monday evening's session as Senator Alan Peter Cayetano was giving his speech.

Senator Cayetano was talking about De Lima's witness Edgar Matobato who testified against DDS last Thursday at the Senate's hearing on drug-related killings. Leila De Lima heads the Senate's Justice committee, the one which handles the case.


Watch the moment when De Lima stormed out of the Senate session hall.
De Lima later on explained the reason why she walked out of the session. She also added that she will just give her own privilege speech on Tuesday.

Moments after she walked out, Senator Manny Pacquiao filed a motion that paved the way for the ouster of De Lima from her post as the chairman of Senate's Justice Committee. The Senators then voted 16-4 in favor of De Lima's ouster.
Senator Dick Gordon was then voted to take over De Lima's post.
