                    [Summary] => Bulacan Rep. Wilhelmino Sy Alvarado defended yesterday his firing of a gun during a wedding feast in Hagonoy town Saturday, saying he merely acted in self defense and to protect his integrity as a congressman after he was pushed by a "drunken man."


Alvarado was reacting to a STAR report yesterday where opposition Senators Edgardo Angara and Blas Ople denounced him for allegedly "disgracing" the entire Congress by firing his 9-mm. handgun Saturday during a wedding feast in Barangay Sto. Rosario, Hagonoy, Bulacan.

Angara, the committee chairman, said there is a need to establish adequate safeguards for this "pioneering exercise" to prevent unscrupulous persons from using the measure for widespread cheating and election fraud.
