Cayetano meets Duterte amid House leadership row
Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano met with President Rodrigo Duterte at Malacaōang on Wednesday night.
Duterte, along with Deputy Speaker Brother Eddie Villanueva and other officials, discussed the House leadership issue.
Despite reports suggesting Duterte wants Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco to take over as Speaker on October 14, Roque stated that Duterte respects the decision of House members who rejected Cayetano's offer to resign.
Lawmaker Jericho Nograles warned that there would be trouble if Cayetano defies Duterte and refuses to honor the term-sharing deal with Velasco.
Duterte had to stop Cayetano's allies from insulting Velasco during their meeting, emphasizing the importance of honoring agreements.
