小费迪南德·马科斯总统在周五的独立日演讲中，公开承认参议员谢尔文·加查利安为参议院临时议长。
小费迪南德·马科斯总统在马尼拉基里诺大看台发表讲话时，向“参议院临时议长谢尔文·加查利安”致意。当天早些时候，在黎刹公园举行的升旗仪式上，他也与该参议员握了手。
这一认可发生在6月12日举行的第128届独立日庆典期间。这是自加查利安于6月3日当选代理参议院议长以来，马科斯首次公开承认其职位。
马拉坎南宫此前曾通过新闻官克莱尔·卡斯特罗表示支持加查利安及新的参议院多数派。卡斯特罗曾表示，行政部门认为不存在宪法危机，并仅承认加查利安的领导地位。
参议员潘菲洛·拉克森对这一举动表示欢迎，并指出人群的掌声是公众认可的标志。此举发生在该参议院经历了数周的争议之后，涉及仍坚持自己是参议院议长的参议员艾伦·彼得·卡耶塔诺。
