President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has adopted a 'wait and see' stance regarding reports of a possible change in Senate leadership. When asked for his reaction, the President simply stated, 'Wait and see.'
Rumors of a Senate Coup
There is strong speculation that a coup or change in leadership may occur in the Senate. According to reports, four senators are being considered as potential replacements: Senators Kiko Pangilinan, Joel Villanueva, Migz Zubiri, and Chiz Escudero.
The President acknowledged that he is aware of the events in the Senate last week, when Senate President Allan Cayetano replaced Senator Tito Sotto. However, Malacañang is not currently judging the senators who will serve as senator-judges in the impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte.
Palace Reminds Senators of Their Duty
According to the Palace, the outcome of the impeachment proceedings lies with the senators. They must remember that they were placed in their positions by the people to serve the Filipino people, not just a single individual.
The President emphasized that senators should serve the nation and uphold their duty to the public. The impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte continues to be a significant focus of the Senate's agenda.
