Migz Zubiri criticizes Chiz Escudero's leadership, backs Sotto for Senate presidency

Former Senate President Juan Miguel 'Migz' Zubiri has expressed dissatisfaction with the current Senate leadership and support for a consultative style of governance.

Zubiri criticized incumbent Senate President Francis 'Chiz' Escudero's reported feud with House Speaker Martin Romualdez, emphasizing that the Senate President should prioritize the chamber's independence and traditions.

He supports Senator Vicente 'Tito' Sotto III's bid for Senate presidency alongside fellow 'veterans' bloc members Senators Panfilo Lacson and Loren Legarda.

Zubiri urged President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to allow barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections, currently set for December 2025, to proceed without further extensions.

The former Senate leader also emphasized the importance of a Senate president who leads with consensus-building rather than dictatorial methods.
