00:00 The new Senate President, Chris Escudero, admitted that he was the one who asked the Senate to give him a "rigudĂłn."
00:06 When I say, I just started talking to him because there are many people who have a lot of concerns.
00:15 He approached you, sir?
00:17 According to Escudero, he started talking to the Senators on Thursday.
00:23 He did not say the reason why they wanted to impeach Senator Juan Miguel Subiri.
00:29 Escudero denied that Malacañang and Cámara are involved.
00:33 15 Senators signed the resolution to replace the Senate leader.
00:38 Aside from Escudero, there are Senators Jingoy Estrada, Francis Tolentino, Bong Go, Alan Peter Cayetano, Pia Cayetano, Mark Villar,
00:48 Cynthia Villar, Grace Poe, Bong Revilla, Lito Lapid, Aimee Marcos, Rafi Tulfo, and Robin Hood Padilla.
00:55 Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa also signed the resolution.
00:59 Subiri was surprised, especially when he cried in his farewell speech when he resigned.
01:05 De la Rosa also explained that he was forced to sign because he and Go were able to remain in the Partido Democrático Filipino or PDP.
01:15 Subiri said that he cannot believe what happened.
01:22 I thought I've seen strange things in my political career.
01:26 And this happens to be the strangest.
01:29 I was dumbfounded. I really cannot understand. I cannot think. I cannot grasp what happened.
01:37 At least he knows that I defended him as a chairman of the committee.
01:45 And because of that, I suffered a lot of sacrifices. I lost my position.
01:53 I cried because, for me, being a good soldier, what I want to say to Migs is,
02:02 "Sorry, boss. I failed to win the war for you because I have one of his trusted lieutenants."
02:12 His mission to me is to secure my party, PDP, to continue to support him.
02:22 Thank you very much.
