Revilla’s injured foot not sole cause of Zubiri’s ouster: ‘Maraming problema’
Senator Nancy Binay found the claims that Senator Ramon Revilla Jr.'s injured foot caused the ouster of former Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri as "weird."
Binay remarked that it's strange for a foot issue to be the reason behind a significant leadership change, especially with other conspiracy theories emerging.
She humorously suggested that a foot might hold more influence than powerful individuals in political situations.
Revilla stated that while a foot injury might have been a trigger, various problems preceded the leadership change.
Senator Ronald dela Rosa claimed that Zubiri's refusal to allow Revilla virtual attendance due to his Achilles tendon injury rekindled an earlier ouster move initiated by Senator Jinggoy Estrada.
