Palace denies Marcos Jr. involvement in House leadership change rumors

Malacañang denies any involvement of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. in any leadership changes within the House of Representatives.

Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro emphasized that the selection and leadership of Congress are not within the President's purview.

She stated that decisions made by the House members regarding their leadership and operations are their own prerogative.

Rumors suggest Isabela Rep. Faustino Dy III may be replaced as Speaker, with Malacañang reportedly eyeing another leadership shake-up amid the flood control mess.

However, some lawmakers believe the House cannot afford another leadership change just two months after a new speaker was elected.

The Northern Luzon Alliance has declared "unequivocal support" for Speaker Dy.
