SEN. Imee Marcos insists she is not to blame for the delay in the approval of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement, as Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri had hinted, even as she categorically declared herself opposed to any coup plot against the Senate leader.
She was reacting to Zubiri’s remarks on Wednesday, when he dismissed as “fake news” the reports he was supposedly the target of a coup because of the allegedly slow approvals of administration bills in the Senate, notably RCEP. The senator recalled that “before the Office of the President transmitted RCEP to the Senate on November 29, I had conducted a public consultation in September 2022 to urge DA [Department of Agriculture], DTI [Department of Trade and Industry] and BOC [Bureua of Customs] to respond to agriculture and MSME sectors.
Zubiri noted the irony that while the supposed “coup” plot against him arises from his leadership’s slow handling of priority bills, the Charter change—which will further derail their legislative work—is being foisted on them. His colleague Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian earlier aired suspicion the “coup” rumor might be tied to efforts to stampede the Senate into Charter change.
