Tulfo brothers back Escudero for Senate presidency
Sen. Raffy Tulfo confirmed on Tuesday that he and his brother Sen. Erwin Tulfo support Senate President Francis 'Chiz' Escudero's continued leadership in the 20th Congress.
Raffy Tulfo cited personal experience with Escudero, noting their shared work ethic and proactive approach to advancing bills, which influenced Erwin Tulfo’s decision to back him as well.
Erwin Tulfo consulted his brother about whom they would support for Senate President, after which Raffy expressed his support for Chiz, leading Erwin to agree with the decision.
Tulfo emphasized that he has not worked closely with Sen. Vicente Sotto and sees no reason to change his position on supporting Escudero come July 28.
Sen. Joel Villanueva reported that at least 13 out of 24 senators are expected to vote for Escudero as Senate President, while Senator JV Ejercito noted that up to 16 senators have signed a resolution in support of Escudero’s continued leadership.
