Hontiveros: Kiko, Bam remain allies despite joining Senate majority
Senator Risa Hontiveros affirmed that she still considers Senators Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan and Bam Aquino as her allies, despite their decision to join the Senate majority bloc.
Hontiveros herself chose to remain with the minority bloc, supporting Senator Vicente "Tito" Sotto III's bid for Senate presidency.
Pangilinan and Aquino supported Senator Francis "Chiz" Escudero's reelection as Senate leader and were subsequently appointed committee chairmanships for agriculture and basic education, respectively.
Hontiveros highlighted that she and her colleagues share common sentiments on various issues, pointing to Pangilinan and Aquino's co-signing of a minority bloc resolution advocating for public access to bicameral conference committee deliberations on the national budget.
