MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan on Saturday said that the new Senate minority bloc is endorsing Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian to be the new Senate president, noting that even current Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano said he would vote for him.
This statement came after almost two weeks after the Senate leadership changed, where Cayetano ousted Sen. Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, with 13 votes for him, 11 for Sotto, and two abstentions.
“We, of the SB-11 or Solid Bloc 11, all want Senator Sherwin ‘Win’ Gatchalian to become Senate President,” Pangilinan said in a statement.
