Defining the News
Senate President Francis “Chiz” Escudero said yesterday he can be replaced anytime when Congress is in session but declined once more to comment on rumors of a plot to unseat him.
He pointed out that Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada, who was mentioned in connection with the rumors, has denied involvement with the supposed move. Senators Loren Legarda and Cynthia Villar, whose names have been linked to the plot, have also denied involvement in the rumored move to replace Escudero with Estrada.
“It’s difficult to comment on every rumor that comes out,” Escudero said, noting that he avoids responding to unsubstantiated claims as they could lead to confusion. Escudero noted the Senate President and committee chairpersons serve at the pleasure of the majority and could be replaced anytime Congress is in session.“Anything you hear with respect to politics even in your love life is a rumor until it becomes reality. I simply view it as that,” said Escudero who replaced Sen. Miguel Zubiri in May.
