Sara Duterte Impeachment Case Repeats! Deputy Speaker of the Philippine House of Representatives Driven Out by Marcos Jr. Allies!
Due to rumors that 5th District Representative of Cebu, Duke Frasco, will run for the position of House Speaker, this means challenging Marcos Jr.'s cousin, ally, and Speaker Martin Romualdez. After failing to win him over, Frasco was asked to immediately resign from his position as Deputy Speaker and has already been expelled from the Deputy Speaker's office.
"I was asked to vacate my Deputy Speaker's office. No problem, I am willing to help."
Frasco stated that he has not yet decided to run for the position of Speaker, but due to his serious leadership style and effective governance, he has been hailed as a dark horse candidate who could become Speaker.
In June, after being asked to sign a declaration supporting Romualdez as the Speaker of the 20th Congress, Frasco was expelled from the National Unity Party.
Frasco said that if the House Speaker election were held immediately, he would support Benitez or Representative Toby Tiongco from Navotas, but he definitely would not change his stance to support Romualdez.
"The role of the Parliament is to drive national progress, not to deepen political divisions; it must more clearly reflect the President's call for unity, stability, and results."
