What a stealth move.
A quorum made possible with Sen Chiz Escudero’s surprise appearance.
What happens now to SP Alan Cayetano’s leadership with these new committee chairmanships?
At least today, the senate can have some work done before ‘sine die’.
WATCH: Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan says he’s relieved that Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero transferred to their bloc and hopes for a fresh start. | via @victoriatulad
“Mabuhay ka” Zubiri tells the man who usurped him for the senate presidency, Escudero, standing next the man who usurped HIM, Sotto.
Three former Senate Presidents averted a Constitutional Crisis today. They are not perfect men, but today they are true Filipinos. 🇵🇭
