Risa joining veterans' bloc? Tito Sotto says, ‘The more, the merrier’
Senator Risa Hontiveros is considering joining the Senate's "veterans bloc," a group advocating for Senator Vicente Sotto III's reinstatement as Senate President.
The "veterans bloc" is composed of Senators Sotto, Juan Miguel Zubiri, Loren Legarda, Panfilo Lacson, and Lito Lapid.
Senator Sotto welcomed Hontiveros' openness, stating, "The more the merrier! She is more than welcome."
Hontiveros, who sees herself as a veteran lawmaker, aims to strengthen the opposition for future elections.
Her final decision on joining the bloc will be announced on July 28, when the 20th Congress convenes.
She previously considered forming or joining an independent bloc as a more realistic option given the numbers.
