Speaker Romualdez 2.0 in the offing
Four out of six Liberal Party (LP) members in the House of Representatives have joined the supermajority coalition supporting Speaker Martin Romualdez.
This inclusion brings the total number of signatories supporting Romualdez to 285, with 278 having signed formal declarations.
Deputy Speaker David Suarez stated that this alignment recognizes the leadership's capability to foster legislative continuity and national stability.
The competition for the speakership in the upcoming 20th Congress has concluded with Romualdez securing broad support.
Navotas Rep. Toby Tiangco expressed openness to a speakership bid if President Marcos deems it appropriate, citing the administration's lackluster senatorial performance possibly due to the impeachment attempt against VP Sara Duterte.
VP Sara Duterte's brother, Davao Rep. Paolo Duterte, has also been encouraged by the Vice President to run for speaker or lead the minority bloc.
