House Majority Leader Neptali Gonzales said that the accusations of Rodriguez are unfair and untruthful, and stood by the count of the House Secretariat.
Many congressmen were disappointed with Rodriguez's actions.
Rep. JV Ejercito was also disappointed by the actions of his colleague because the landmark "kasambahay" bill that he co-authored was supposed to be tackled and passed on third reading on Tuesday.
Akbayan Rep. Walden Bello said the actions of Rodriguez are unacceptable.
He said Rodriguez should be reprimanded by the House leadership.
