00:00The Senate website reflects the leadership change at the upper chamber on June 3.
00:05Senator Wingachalian is now officially listed as Senate President Pro Tempore,
00:09while Senator Mig Zubiri is listed as Senate Majority Leader.
00:12The other officer positions, Senate President and Senate Minority Leader,
00:15are still vacant as 13 senators are needed to elect a Senate President.
00:20The website also reflects the new chairpersons of some committees
00:22and among them is Senator Erwin Tulfo as chair of the Blue Ribbon Committee.
00:26While Senator Alan Peter Cayetano continues to insist that he is the legitimate and moral Senate President,
00:31he also sought what he called a workable interim administrative arrangement with Gachalian.
00:36This, according to Cayetano, would supposedly ensure that Senate operations are unhampered by their dispute.
00:41The offer was for both Cayetano and Gachalian to sign Senate documents for salaries.
00:46Gachalian rejected this.
00:48Over the weekend, Gachalian met with officials from the Office of the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms
00:52as concerns persist among Senate employees.
00:55Cayetano held another Facebook Live over the weekend to assure his supporters
00:58he has not ceded the Senate presidency.
