Tiangco: House coup gaining momentum
Independent lawmaker Toby Tiangco hinted at ongoing efforts to oust Speaker Martin Romualdez from his leadership position in the House of Representatives.
Lawmakers supportive of a leadership change are hesitant to proceed due to concerns about not securing majority backing.
Tiangco noted that public dissatisfaction with Congress is contributing to the growing sentiment for a leadership overhaul.
The discussions gained momentum after Bacolod Rep. Albee Benitez reportedly accepted a proposal to contend for the speakership.
Recent controversies, including issues surrounding the 2025 budget and flood control projects implicating Romualdez, have fueled the calls for a leadership shakeup.
