Senate President Migz Zubiri successfully forms a 'supermajority' bloc, but he promises to deal fairly with the 2-member minority bloc.
MANILA, Philippines – Newly elected Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri gave a glimpse of how he would want the chamber to run under a Marcos presidency: vigilant against laws that could potentially harm the people, but cooperative with the President’s legislative agenda.
“This Senate, under my leadership, however, will be one to solve problems more than it would find faults. While probes are magnets for publicity, it is the policies – laws patiently written line by line away from the limelight – that drive progress,” said Zubiri. A nominal voting for Senate president is usually done in the past Congresses because there were at least two candidates for the top spot.
In the same speech, Zubiri rallied the 23 other senators to be cooperative with Marcos’ priority legislation. Zubiri, however, did say in past media interviews that he wanted the Senate to prioritize measures designed to combat rising inflation, reinvigorate the economy, lower the prices of goods and fuel, and strengthen education policies.
