Leadership News

I agree with senator Drilon when he says that there is nothing new and nothing wrong with this – with a political leader who will try to influence – as this is done everywhere.

Having said all of this, I think it is but fair for the rest of us to understand that, as the former Senate president explained, campaigning for the Senate president post, if one may call it that, one must be able to present him or herself with the capacity to lead. We are in a democracy after all.

Considering that the good senator was actually replaced thrice as he narrated in his recent interview, again and I must say it was a real education for me to know that despite this, the Senate remained to be an independent institution not easily dictated upon by any power that be.

Escudero was voted to replace Zubiri by 15 of the 24-man Senate. But three of the five NPC Senators did not even vote for Escudero and stayed with Zubiri.
