Senate President Francis “Chiz” Escudero has to talk with the so-called Solid 7 in the Senate that sided with his predecessor, Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri, “after emotions have cooled off,” according to Sen. JV Ejercito.
MANILA, Philippines —
The talk will probably take place “after we have decided which direction to take, whether we remain as an independent bloc or join the minority in the Senate,” Ejercito noted. “Since we are not enemies, I see no reason why the relationship cannot be good, although we have different views on some things,” Escudero said.
Villanueva disclosed yesterday that some of them are willing to join the minority, and not the majority, under Escudero’s leadership. “Everything is in the open, it’s an option. Right now, three or four out of seven of us are more than willing to be part of the minority. If that is the case, that is what we need to do to be more effective,” Villanueva noted.While possibly joining the minority, Villanueva said they would also consult the new leadership on how they “can be of help” to the institution.
