6月17日，在一次特别会议上，谢尔温·加查利安（Sherwin Gatchalian）参议员当选为参议院议长，结束了为期一个月的领导权危机。前参议院议长阿兰·彼得·卡耶塔诺（Alan Peter Cayetano）在投票前几小时表示认输。
谢尔温·“温”·加查利安（Sherwin “Win” Gatchalian）参议员于周三获得13票，当选参议院议长。此次选举是在乔尔·维拉纽瓦（Joel Villanueva）参议员从少数派阵营倒戈后，于国会特别会议期间进行的。
卡耶塔诺在几小时前于社交媒体上发布了认输声明。他表示，票数格局虽已改变，但宪法并未改变。他的大多数盟友缺席了此次会议。
加查利安的胜出解决了关于参议院领导权的争议。此举也对最高法院的一项请愿产生了影响，并为副总统莎拉·杜特尔特（Sara Duterte）的弹劾审判扫清了障碍。
随后，来自双方的参议员均认可了新的领导层。加查利安承诺将与全部24位参议员共同合作。

A Senate leadership change occurred on June 3 when a quorum of 12 senators enabled the election of Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian as acting Senate president.
Senate President Pro Tempore Sherwin Gatchalian dismissed Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano’s power-sharing proposal on Tuesday. He insisted that the June 3 leadership changes were valid and left no room for a dual-authority setup.

Senators allied with Alan Peter Cayetano conducted a Blue Ribbon committee hearing on flood control anomalies on June 4 despite objections from the Senate majority bloc led by Win Gatchalian.
Senator Panfilo Lacson warned that detentions of fellow senators could complicate the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, which is set to begin on July 6. He suggested options such as seeking court permission for detained senators to attend as judges. Lacson also noted that Acting Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian may step aside for a lawyer to preside.
