MANILA — Senator Ronald Dela Rosa admitted on Tuesday, May 21, that he was among the senators who signed in favor of the new Senate President, Chiz Escudero.
“Yes. Eventhough my signature may seem insignificant. They approached me after the battle had been won. They already had 14 signatures,” Dela Rosa told reporters in a press briefing.
It can be recalled that Dela Rosa was seen crying as former Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri delivered his resignation speech.
“When [Sen.] Migz approached me, I couldn’t help but cry… What I want to say to [Sen.] Migz—sorry, boss. I failed to win the war for you,” the senator said.
A total of 15 senators voted to oust Zubiri as the Senate President.
