00:00Senate President Pro Tempore Ping Laxon appears to be returning as chairman of the powerful Blue Ribbon Committee.
00:06This based on a statement of Senate President Tito Soto.
00:09In an earlier TV interview, Soto said that he thought the return of Laxon to the committee was very positive at this point.
00:15When asked whether he was 100% sure Laxon would return as chair of the Blue Ribbon Committee,
00:20Soto tells reporters in a message,
00:22In the course of our many conversations, it has come to his attention the clamor of some of our colleagues and the public that he retake the committee.
00:30Soto notes Laxon feels he has unfinished business in the committee.
00:34When asked if this confirms Laxon's return as head of the panel, he says his colleague had not yet responded as of posting time.
00:41However, Laxon says people should be ready for all consequences should he be elected again as the committee head,
00:47including losing some members of the majority bloc and, consequently, Soto's Senate presidency.
