00:00Senator Risa Ontiveros says it's a stronger opposition in Congress.
00:10This after the partial and unofficial results showed the comeback of Bam Aquino and Kiko Pangilinan in the Senate
00:15and the assured seats of their party lists in the House of Representatives.
00:19In the last Senate make-up, Ontiveros was the only consistent opposition member.
00:23Aquino and Pangilinan are expected to solidify their ranks in the Senate.
00:27A stronger opposition would impact the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte
00:32where the three would sit as judges.
00:34The other role would be to ensure checks and balances on the Marcos administration.
00:52For the party list race, Acbayan is sure to get a seat in the 20th Congress
00:56with first nominee Chell Jokno as its representative.
01:00Acbayan is likely to get more seats besides Jokno's,
01:03which would increase its presence in the House.
01:05Projections also show that former Senator Laila de Lima
01:08may win a seat as the first nominee of Mamamayang Liberal.
