乔尔·维拉纽瓦（Joel Villanueva）参议员周日宣布，如果马科斯总统召集国会特别会议，他将出席会议，这可能提供选举舍温·加查利安（Sherwin Gatchalian）参议员为参议院议长所需的第13张选票。
乔尔·维拉纽瓦参议员在耶稣是主教会（Jesus Is Lord Church）周日礼拜期间播出的一段录音中表示，他将履行宪法职责。“如果召开特别会议，我们将履行宪法赋予的神圣职责。我们一定会到场，”他说道。维拉纽瓦没有明确说明他将如何投票，但他强调，在自6月3日人事改组开始的参议院领导层争端中，需要专注于公共服务。他强调了这一争端对工作人员的影响，并呼吁关注6月8日袭击棉兰老岛的7.8级地震。如果举行会议，他计划提交一份关于救灾资金的决议，并处理待决法案和军事任命。潘菲洛·拉克森（Panfilo Lacson）参议员对这一声明表示欢迎，并称拥有12票的多数派集团正在为艾伦·彼得·卡耶塔诺（Alan Peter Cayetano）参议员盟友可能制造的干扰做准备。“我只希望卡耶塔诺阵营的同事们也能有同样的态度，”拉克森说。
