MANILA — Several senators have voiced their support for Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri amidst swirling rumors of his potential replacement by fellow senator Jinggoy Estrada.
Senators Win Gatchalian and Sonny Angara are among those who have endorsed Zubiri’s leadership by signing a resolution in his favor.
“I have already signed the resolution in support of the Senate President,” Angara affirmed.
Addressing the recurrent rumors, Angara stated, “The rumors keep resurfacing, and we just want to put this issue to rest so that we can focus on our legislative duties effectively.”
“There isn’t any undue pressure. Our main goal is to ensure that these rumors aren’t fabricated. I believe the Senate President is reaching out to everyone,” he added.
Gatchalian echoed similar sentiments, saying, “The resolution serves as an expression of gratitude and acknowledgment for his leadership… I’ve not heard of any coup, and the way the Senate President has defended our institution speaks volumes.”
