MANILA, Philippines — Another round of musical chairs in the Senate could create a new majority, with Sen. Sherwin “Win” Gatchalian assuming leadership with the backing of a “solid” 11-member minority bloc and several other senators who would change sides.
Former Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo Lacson and Sen. Francis Pangilinan, in separate statements on Saturday, said that Gatchalian, who has been serving as senator for the past 10 years, would be the ideal unifier of the Senate.
They did not say what might trigger another Senate leadership shakeup after the May 11 “coup” that ousted then Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III whom they supported.
