NewsTranscript
00:00 Senator Mig Zubiri resigned as Senate President amid issues regarding the charter change and PIDEA leaks.
00:08 Zubiri said that he may be able to follow the orders of his allies in the power.
00:14 Ma'am Gonzalez has a report.
00:16 I did not accept the appointment of the President of the Senate just to let this fall.
00:26 Today, I offer my resignation as Senate President of the Republic of the Philippines.
00:33 Senator Mig Zubiri's valedictory speech was emotional and full of meaning when he was sworn in as Senate President during the session earlier.
00:41 I failed to follow instructions from the powers that be. Simple as that.
00:46 I've listened to all my colleagues throughout my Senate presidency. And again, I listened to them today.
00:52 I fought the good fight. If I've ruffled some feathers in doing so, then so be it.
00:59 Zubiri then followed by Senator Loren Legarda as Senate President pro tempore,
01:05 Senator Joel Villanueva as Majority Leader, and Senator JV Ejercito as Deputy Majority Leader.
01:12 Senator Nancy Binay and Senator Sonny Angara were also nominated as chairpersons of their committees.
01:18 Senator Chase Escudero was nominated as Senate President.
01:21 He was not fighting, so he was elected as a lawful candidate.
01:23 My hats off to you, Senator Zubiri. I salute you and I hope I will make you proud.
01:30 Senator Jingo Estrada was elected as a new Senate President pro tempore while Senator Francis Tolentino was elected as a new Majority Leader.
01:38 Chairpersons of several vacancy committees will also be replaced, including the committee that leads in discussing the Charter Change.
01:44 Senator Escudero is openly against the Charter Change. I hope the people that supported him know that. As far as we're concerned, the Charter Change this week is dead.
01:56 We will discuss it on the part of the majority, but you know my position.
01:59 Zubiri admitted that he feels bad about what happened.
02:02 I'm heartbroken. My fellow countrymen whom I consider as my allies, they left us without even talking to us.
02:15 He started this by discussing the Charter Change and he got even more upset because of the PDEA leaks hearings.
02:21 I heard that because of the hearings of BATO, some people were against me.
02:28 When asked if President Bongbong Marcos is still supportive of Zubiri...
02:32 That's for another discussion.
02:40 Mav Gonzalez is the news for GMA Integrated News.
02:44 Kapuso, you know the state of the nation.
