00:00Former Senate President Mig Zubiri says he's dumbfounded to learn Senator Bato de la Rosa was one of the 15 senators who signed the resolution to oust him.
00:10Zubiri says, if yesterday I was heartbroken, now I am dumbfounded. He even thanked de la Rosa as he was stepping down Monday.
00:19And I was also thankful to Senator Bato de la Rosa because I heard that he didn't sign and he stayed with me until the end.
00:30De la Rosa, who was emotional when Zubiri stepped down, admits he backed Escudero's leadership.
00:36Zubiri says he displeased the powers that be when he did not agree to the timeline for charter change and when he allowed the Senate probe on PIDEA leaks.
00:45The senator adds defending de la Rosa had cost him his Senate presidency.
00:49De la Rosa's committee held four hearings on the so-called PIDEA leaks that attempted to link President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to illegal drugs but failed.
