Lapid, typically reticent during sessions, made an emotional appeal for unity and the preservation of the institution's dignity. He also formally dismissed rumors of his departure from the minority bloc, while Cayetano acknowledged their cross-party friendship, highlighting his tradition of sharing homemade Filipino delicacies. The session concluded on a positive note after a playful and affectionate interaction between the two senators.
