フィリピン上院の指導権争いが続く中、シャーウィン・ガッチャリアン上院議員がアラン・ピーター・カエタノ上院議員に対し、対話を行う意向を表明しました。
6月3日に12人の上院議員によって定足数が確保されたことを受け、下院およびマラカニアン宮殿（大統領府）は、シャーウィン・ガッチャリアン氏を上院議長代行として認めています。憲法上、正式な上院議長の選出には13票が必要となるため、現時点で正式な議長は選出されていません。ガッチャリアン氏は6月7日、膠着状態を打開するため、カエタノ氏との会談に応じる用意があることを明らかにしました。これに対し、カエタノ氏は6月6日、誰が正当な指導者であるかを協議する場として、ガッチャリアン氏を会談に招いています。上院職員組合は、現在続いている混乱に対して懸念を表明しました。サラ・ドゥテルテ副大統領の弾劾裁判は、7月6日に予定されています。
X（旧Twitter）における初期の反応では、上院の指導権争いに注目が集まっています。ガッチャリアン氏とカエタノ氏の双方が暫定的な取り決めに向けて会談を提案していることや、「上院議長」という肩書きをめぐる混乱、上院の運営を守るための対話の必要性、さらには最高裁判所への提訴を求める声などが議論されています。

Kaya nacconfuse ang mga tao. because Cayetano keep calling Senator Gatchalian as Sp when he is actually Senate Presideng Pro Tempore. Wala naman sa new majority ang magclaim na Sp na siya. In fact the Sp position is now vacant. Yung 13 na sinasabi ni SP yun nga sinusod nila kaya+

Pinabulaanan ni acting Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian ang sinabi ni Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano na nagpapagamit umano siya sa Malacañang, sinabing may consensus-building, o laging nag-uusap at nagpapalitan ng payo, ang mga senador sa bagong majority bloc.
