Sotto confirms rumors of Senate leadership change

Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III confirmed hearing rumors of another leadership change in the Senate over the weekend, describing the reports as common occurrences.

He mentioned that one or two stories indicated people were talking and trying to persuade others, but did not disclose specific details or the number of senators involved.

Sotto expressed confidence in his colleagues and believes he will retain his position.

The Senate is set to resume its session on Tuesday, November 11, after a month-long suspension due to Super Typhoon Uwan.

Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo "Ping" Lacson previously warned Sotto that a potential return to chair the Senate blue ribbon committee could lead to a loss of majority bloc members.
