MANILA, Philippines — Senator Sherwin Gatchalian on Sunday said he is open to a dialogue with Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano’s bloc to settle the leadership impasse, which has divided the upper chamber and stalled legislative work last week ahead of an adjournment of almost two months.
The House of Representatives also urged the Senate to settle its dispute so it can focus on important duties, including the impending impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte set to begin next month.
“I’ve already said that I’m open [to talking] with all senators. As I’ve said, be it majority-minority, I will talk to everyone. In fact, from the minority, we have a lot of personal friends there. I’ve known them for a long time,” he said in an interview with radio dzBB.
