00:00The talk of a new change of leader in the Senate is on the rise
00:04amid the impeachment issue against Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:08This is the answer of some Senators on the appointment of MAV Gonzalez.
00:15A few months after the replacement of Senate President Cheese Escudero,
00:19who is Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri,
00:21the talk of a new change of Senators is on the rise
00:25to replace their leader.
00:28Senator Cynthia Villac got a lot of attention.
00:31But she said,
00:39Escudero just ignored the talk
00:42and said that he doesn't comment on gossip.
00:45He always says that it's just gossip until it doesn't happen.
00:50A Senator needs 13 votes to be elected as Senate President.
00:55When he was elected in May,
00:5715 Senators voted for Escudero.
01:00Of them, 6 are known allies or friends of Vice President Sara Duterte's family
01:06who are now facing two impeachment complaints.
01:09If this continues, the Senators will sit down to discuss the case.
01:13Senator Pato de la Rosa said
01:16that no one is convincing him to replace Escudero.
01:19But if Senator Cynthia Villar decides to replace him,
01:21If Senator Villar comes with me, will that be true?
01:25Because we're friends.
01:27But I didn't hear anything.
01:30We're friends with Senator Cheese.
01:32We're not enemies. We don't have a problem.
01:37Senate President Pro Tempore Gingoy Estrada said
01:40that the Senate is only talking about gossip.
01:43Escudero is a good-natured Senate President
01:46if the impeachment case in Bice continues.
01:49If the impeachment case in Bice continues,
01:52at least the lawyer will represent us.
