In a move that was clearly meant to dispel grumblings regarding the House Speakership, contender Taguig-Pateros Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano on Sunday showed off on Facebook live the support of his colleagues who took part in an all-party caucus in his own backyard.

Heading the attendees were Marinduque lone district Rep. Lord Alan Velasco and Leyte 1st district Rep. Martin Romualdez, Cayetano erstwhile fellow aspirants for the speakership post.

A few weeks ago, President Rodrigo Duterte floated the 15-21 term-sharing scheme for the Speakership in the 18th Congress between Nacionalista Party’s Cayetano and Partido Demokratiko Pilipino–Lakas ng Bayan’s Velasco. Pointing to the 50 or so attendees of the caucus, the presumptive Speaker said, “The major political parties, blocs, advocacy groups, party-lists are all here.”

It was earlier believed that the younger Duterte didn’t favor the term-sharing scheme and, along with his sister Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, was supporting the Speakership bid of another congressman in Davao City 3rd District Rep. Isidro Ungab “Nagkakaisa talaga ang Congress , we want to be a unified Congress para ma-push namin ang legislative agenda ng ating Pangulo ,” he added.
