00:00 President Bombo Marcos said that Senator Chiza Escudero talked to him
00:05 before he planned to become Senate President.
00:08 He also said that the President was aware of the conversation between Escudero and other senators
00:13 but the President insisted that he did not influence them.
00:16 The senators themselves decided to replace their leader.
00:21 Escudero also said that the President had nothing to do with the Senate.
00:28 I was basically informed at every step of the way.
00:31 But it moved so quickly as well.
00:35 But of course we knew the state of the voting when the votes were still being collected by Senator Chiza.
00:47 The decision to change the leadership was not made by me, it was made by the senators.
00:55 Before becoming Senate President, Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri said
00:59 that he was able to follow the order of what he called "powers that be".
01:04 According to the President, he did not know what order Zubiri was referring to.
01:08 Because if you're Senate President, the only power that be is the President.
01:14 So I'm not sure what he's referring to.
01:18 I don't know. I haven't spoken to him about it.
01:20 I'm commenting to them.
01:22 It's up to them. The people are the judges.
01:24 It's up to them.
