Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri on Thursday said he was informed that his position on Charter change (Cha-cha) is the reason behind rumors of a Senate leadership shake-up.
"It is not the priority of the President, it is also not our priority. Binabatikos na nga kami na hindi namin natatapos yung aming legislative agenda tapos Charter Change pa ang pag-uusapan?" Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said. Joseph Vidal/ Senate PRIB/ File photo
He refuted allegations of low productivity under his leadership by citing recently passed legislations, particularly the bill limiting the coverage of fixed terms in the Armed Forces of the Philippines; the bill condoning the loan amortization of agrarian reform beneficiaries; and the bill creating the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning Program.
Asked if he knows where the coup plot rumor is coming from, Zubiri said: "I have no clue. Your guess is as good as mine." "Aba, pangit na balita 'yan kasi ako'y satisfied naman kay Senator Migz. Katunayan e wala naman akong alam na nagrereklamo, napakagaling na leader ni Senator Migz," Padilla said. "There always have been talks of 'coup' rumors and black propaganda is all around. Ang importante, let us remain focused on the job at hand," he said.
Among the nine senators was Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, who also claimed that this rumor is linked to the current push to amend the 1987 Constitution.
