Palace denies hand in reported House leadership change
Malacañang denies any involvement of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. in any leadership changes within the House of Representatives.
Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro emphasized that the selection and leadership of Congress are not within the President's purview.
Castro stated that the decisions made by the House members regarding their leadership and operations are their own prerogative.
This clarification comes amidst rumors of a potential leadership change, with Deputy Speaker Ronaldo Puno reportedly being considered as a replacement for Speaker Faustino Dy III.
Puno himself has denied these allegations and expressed his continued support for the current House leadership.
Rumors of Dy's possible removal surfaced as allies of the President were reportedly seeking a stronger leader amid a looming impeachment complaint against Marcos Jr.
