MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian was elected Senate president pro tempore, replacing Sen. Loren Legarda.
He presided over the session on Wednesday, two days after no plenary session was held.
Twelve senators, including Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero, an ally of Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, provided the quorum.
This is amid the detention of Sen. Jinggoy Estrada and the hiding of Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa from an International Criminal Court arrest warrant.
