Sotto assured of colleagues' support amid reported ouster plot
Senate President Vicente Sotto III remains unfazed by rumored plots to unseat him, stating he serves at the discretion of his colleagues and that any alleged attempt has already "fizzled out."
Sotto mentioned that Senators Bong Go and Ronald Dela Rosa, allies of President Rodrigo Duterte, personally approached him to deny any involvement in the supposed ouster plot.
He characterized the alleged coup attempt as possibly just an idea that did not materialize, rather than a concrete plan.
Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri corroborated that no senators have sought his support to sign any resolution aimed at replacing Sotto as Senate President.
