Duterte's camp supports Escudero's re-election as Senate President

Duterte's camp helps Escudero retain his position as Senate President! Vice President Sara is not the condition!

Senator Rosa said that seven senators from the Duterte camp have decided to support Senate President Escudero for re-election. Rosa himself has signed a "super majority" group consisting of 18 members, which supports keeping Escudero as Senate President in the 20th Congress.

The seven senators from the Duterte camp are Bongo, Rosa, Padilla, Marcotte, Ime, Mark Villar and Camille Villar.

Bongo said that the decision of the Duterte camp is based on who can help them the most in advancing their priority projects, without any commitment of positions or favors.

Escudero's stance on whether Vice President Sara Duterte may be convicted was not a factor in the camp's decision to support him.
