Description
The arrival of Sen. Francis Escudero allowed the Senate to convene on Wednesday, despite the absence of the group led by Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano.
The 11-strong minority bloc was waiting for majority senators in the scheduled plenary session, when Escudero, the lone majority senator, showed up at the session hall.
This allowed a quorum to be declared with 12 senators present.
Sen. Vicente Sotto III then moved to declare vacancy in all positions in the Senate, which was approved.
Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian was then elected as Senate President Pro Tempore, while Sen Miguel Zubiri was named Majority Leader.
Ray Bantug was elected as Senate Secretary.
