00:00 Senator Cheese Escudero's own initiative to get the highest position in the Senate.
00:07 The palace has nothing to do with the incident.
00:10 Senator Bato de la Rosa was greeted and thanked by Senator Mig Zubiri yesterday.
00:16 He was also with the signatures to replace him.
00:19 We have a report from MAV Gonzalez.
00:21 Senator Bato de la Rosa was cried in the middle of the valedictory speech of Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri yesterday.
00:29 Bato de la Rosa was one of the senators who was thanked by Zubiri for his support.
00:34 Before the session, Bato de la Rosa hugged Zubiri's wife.
00:47 But Bato de la Rosa's tears were not because of Zubiri's defeat as the President of the Senate.
00:52 What I want to say to Mig Zubiri is sorry boss, I failed to win the war for you.
01:00 His mission to me is to secure my party, the PDP, to continue to support him.
01:10 Bato de la Rosa is one of the 15 senators who signed the resolution to replace the leader of the Senate.
01:15 If yesterday I was heartbroken, then I was dumbfounded.
01:19 I really don't get it. At least, he knows that I defended him as a chairman of the committee.
01:27 Before the session started, Zubiri was hugged by de la Rosa.
01:31 I haven't processed what happened. I told him to give me time. He still hugged my wife.
01:35 Yesterday, Zubiri said that he was forced to obey the orders of the powerful.
01:40 He did not mention who they are.
01:42 Senate President Chis Escudero said that he took the position on his own initiative.
01:47 There were senators who approached him and asked him to say good morning to Zubiri.
01:51 He also showed up to some congressmen last Wednesday for the birthday of some congressmen. But...
01:57 This is an open and public gallery. The camera does not care about the leadership change and the comments of the Senate.
02:05 He started campaigning for the Senators on Thursday.
02:08 On Sunday, he already had 13 votes.
02:10 In a post, President Marcos C. Escudero expressed his support.
02:13 The seven senators who did not sign the resolution said that they will remain as one bloc.
02:18 But they are still considering whether they will remain as independents.
02:21 I can be a minority. We also talked about that with Sen. Coco. If others will join me, what's going to happen and all.
02:32 Senator Coco Pimentel and Senator Riza Juntiveros are forming the minority bloc.
02:36 They abstained from voting against Zubiri.
02:39 Mav Gonzalez reporting for GMA Integrated News.
