SI TAGUIG City Congressman Alan Peter Cayetano ang magiging House Speaker sa 18th Congress.
Ito ang inanunsiyo kahapon ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa kanyang talumpati sa oath taking ng mga bagong appointed officials sa simpleng seremonya na ginanap sa Malakanyang.
“ I’m sorry, I’m quite late. I was talking to three people. I think it’s about time I talk. So your Speaker will be Alan Peter Cayetano. Ang sharing dito is he shares the term with Lord Velasco. And si Romualdez will be the Majority Floor Leader,” sabi ng Pangulong Duterte.
“I tried to distance myself from the… But apparently I said it’s time that I talk. So ganu’n ho ang ano — that’s the set-up,” dagdag pa ng Pangulo.
Samantala sinabi naman ni Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo na dumulog ang tatlong kandidato sa pagka-House Speaker kay Pangulong Duterte at hiningan ng tulong ang chief executive upang maresolba ang pagtutunggali sa nabanggit na puwesto
“Since the election of the Speaker has resulted in a bitter and fractious rivalry that threatens the break-up of political allies, the President, to save the unity of the alliance and avert its fragmentation, obliged to the request of the three candidates, who to their credit agree to respect the choice of PRRD” giit ni Panelo.
“It’s Allan Cayetano as the Speaker in the first 15 months, then the next 21 months, the Speaker will be Lord Allan Velasco, with Martin Romualdez as the Majority Floor Leader” dagdag pa ni Panelo. EVELYN QUIROZ
