00:00 Senate President Chiza Escudero clarified that there is only one reason why the Senate leaders changed their minds.
00:06 He denied that the Fidelix investigation of Senator Ronald de la Rosa was the reason for the change of the Senate president.
00:14 Daniel Manalastas is in the center of the news.
00:20 We are still thinking about the reason why the Senate leaders changed their minds. But if you ask Senate President Francis Chiza Escudero, in an interview he said,
00:30 "In the end, the only reason and reason for the change of the Senate leaders is that there is only one reason. And that is the lack of trust of the majority."
00:41 Escudero also answered the allegations that the reason for the change of the Senate leaders is the investigation of the Fidelix investigation.
00:49 Like I said, if that's the reason, why did Senator Bato vote and support the change?
00:54 And like I said to Senator Bato when we were talking, that's the reason why we will change the Senate president. He should be the one to change.
01:01 So unfair to Senator Bato, those accusations. That's the reason and the end of all of this.
01:07 He also admitted that because of the debate, Senator Bong Revilla was allowed to attend the plenary session virtually, now that he had an injury.
01:16 But Escudero's answer is,
01:18 "Just look at the voters and supporters of the change of the Senate leaders. That's not a common denominator.
01:27 Senator Joel Villanueva supported Senator Revilla's decision. I'm in the same position. Why should we change our vote?
01:36 Just look at the list of voters and supporters. And that will answer any question of why. Did that change? And that means that's not the only reason."
01:48 Senator Bong Revilla said that he will move forward. He said that he can be one of the Mitsha. But before that, there are many problems.
01:56 Senator Joel Villanueva called an insult to the people that he used a foot injury as a reason to change the Senate leader.
02:05 For now, Escudero will visit the offices of the Senate to see the situation of the employees.
