“No Senate President had achieved Numero Uno since Ferdinand Marcos Sr. Those who tried, faltered. But can Escudero buck the ‘regla’?”
Even with just the shake-up in the Senate leadership, the personalities leading to 2028 have changed as well. Underneath all this history of the unexpected is the promotion of personal ambition and economic interests, the first having many conspirators, the second having permanent interests. Only after the martial law episode did HoR speakers seek the presidency, and failed. Will the current speaker, first cousin to the president, buck the pre-martial law “regla” and revive the pre-war trend?Media personalities began to hug the political limelight with the late Eddie Ilarde in the 70s, followed by Orly Mercado in the 80s, then Loren Legarda in the 90s and Noli de Castro by the turn of the century. Only VP Noli went higher than senator.
Until Chiz Escudero’s feat of legerdemain occurred last week, never had a son or daughter of Bicolandia reached the third perch in the political hierarchy, although one zoomed to the vice-presidency yet lost in her bid for the presidency. Still, the original Manuel A. Roxas was removed from the speakership by his political patron, the legendary MLQ. But in his own words, he “landed in the arms of the people.”
