If Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III is removed as Senate President today, then let us stop pretending this is about “leadership change.” This is political surrender.
Senator Alan Cayetano’s bloc is making one thing clear — they would rather protect the Dutertes than defend the Constitution and the independence of the Senate.
History will remember the senators who chose loyalty to power over loyalty to the Filipino people.
Shame on them.
THOSE WHO STOOD BY SOTTO
Sens. Ping Lacson, Kiko Pangilinan, Risa Hontiveros, Bam Aquino, Lito Lapid, Raffy Tulfo, Erwin Tulfo and Sherwin Gatchalian were among the senators who voted to keep Tito Sotto as Senate President during Monday’s leadership shakeup.
Their bloc stood in contrast to Duterte-aligned senators who backed Alan Peter Cayetano, whose camp ultimately secured enough votes to take control of the chamber, ending Sotto’s tenure in a sudden shift that comes as the Senate prepares for a critical impeachment process involving Vice President Sara Duterte.

‘THAT’S A VERY STRONG POSSIBILITY’
Naniniwala si dating Senate Pres. Tito Sotto na mayroong “strong possibility” o malaki ang posibilidad na may kaugnayan ang impeachment ni Vice Pres. Sara Duterte sa nangyaring balasahan sa Senado ngayong Lunes, May 11.
“Because if I were the Senate President, once the House approves the Articles of Impeachment and sends it to us, I will constitute and convene the impeachment tomorrow,” sabi ni Sotto.
Pinalitan ni Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano si Sotto bilang bagong Senate President.
NASA KONSTITUSYON AT PUBLIKO ANG KATAPATAN
Binigyang-diin ni dating Senate president Tito Sotto na mananatili ang kaniyang katapatan sa Konstitusyon at sa publiko.
Kasunod ito ng nangyaring balasahan sa Senado ngayong Lunes, May 11. Pinalitan si Sotto ni Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano bilang bagong Senate President.
“I lift everything to my creator. God bless the Philippines,” dagdag ni Sotto sa isang post.
'GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES'
Sen. Vicente "Tito" Sotto III said that his loyalty and allegiance remains to the constitution and the Filipino people after his colleagues moved to oust him as Senate President during the plenary session on Monday, May 11.
