Dos senadores podrían pasarse al bloque de Gatchalian

El Senado podría formar una mayoría decisiva mañana para nombrar al senador Sherwin Gatchalian como presidente del Senado, reveló el senador Erwin Tulfo.

Tulfo señaló que al menos tres senadores están siendo cortejados para abandonar la facción del senador Alan Peter Cayetano. Al menos un senador y una senadora podrían apoyar a Gatchalian, junto con el senador Joel Villanueva. "Esperemos que la oración de todos, no solo la nuestra, sea que esto termine para que podamos volver a la normalidad", dijo Tulfo a DZRH. Once senadores respaldan actualmente a Gatchalian, incluidos Tulfo, Vicente Sotto III y Risa Hontiveros. Gatchalian se desempeña como presidente interino del Senado tras su elección como presidente pro tempore el 3 de junio. Se necesitan trece votos para el cargo permanente. Malacañang convocó a una sesión especial para el 17 de junio.
