Ngayong araw, nagbitiw bilang Senate President si Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri.
Sa panayam niya sa #TheMangahasInterviews noong July 2023, sinabi ni Zubiri na issue-oriented siya pagdating sa pagsuporta o pagtutol sa mga panukala, at laging papanig para sa ikabubuti ng mamamayang Pilipino.
Naniniwala rin siya na nasa maayos ang mga programa ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos at handa ang Senado na punahin ito sakaling may hindi tama.

00:05 Senator Meeks, you are a perfect attendance in your 15-year history as a legislator.
00:10 But they say you are a political maverick.
00:13 You were a spice boy during President Erap and Bumoto's time to impeach him.
00:19 You were a quiet president during President Gloria's time.
00:24 But now, they say you are like best friends forever with President BBM.
00:28 What do you think about that?
00:30 I am issue-oriented, Ma'am Malu.
00:33 There are certain, for example, charter change.
00:37 I did not agree, Ma'am Malu.
00:40 We didn't agree on the mode.
00:42 We didn't agree on the need to have it done right away.
00:46 Although many of my colleagues in the administration are pushing for it.
00:51 So, we are issue-oriented, Ma'am Malu.
00:54 The issue is good for the Filipino people.
00:58 We are there.
00:59 If we think our countrymen are weak, we are there in the plans of different groups.
01:07 Remember during the time of President Duterte,
01:10 when President Duterte signed the VFA, Visiting Forces Agreement,
01:15 he decided to suspend the Visiting Forces Agreement.
01:19 I was one of the people who went to the Supreme Court together with Senator Soto at the time, my Senate president,
01:24 to question if he can do that without approval of the Senate because the Senate is the ratifying body.
01:33 It's the body that ratified the VFA.
01:35 We won there, Ma'am Malu.
01:37 The Supreme Court had spoken and they said for treaties such as that,
01:42 it has to get concurrence of the Senate on repealing these treaties.
01:46 So we are issue-oriented, Ma'am Malu.
01:49 If we think it's for the good of our country, we are there.
01:53 I think my track record will speak for that, will speak for itself.
01:57 I don't see anything wrong with what President Marcos is doing.
02:02 He's ticking all the boxes, doing the right things.
02:06 There's no controversy.
02:08 He doesn't want controversy.
02:09 He doesn't want to have a charter change.
02:11 He told us first that we will be in trouble if our administration runs smoothly.
02:18 In fairness to him, he's doing the right things.
02:20 Of course, if there will be bad things that will come out, we will call it out,
02:24 being that the Senate is the last bastion of democracy in our country.
