Representative Benny Abante says the best way to show his 'full trust' in newly installed Speaker Lord Allan Velasco is by joining the latter's majority bloc. What do you think of this move?

The power shake-up in the House continues, with Manila 6th District Representative Bienvenido"Benny" Abante Jr resigning as House minority leader to be part of the majority bloc under Speaker Lord Allan Velasco.

"And there is no better symbol of this trust than an expression of intent to join the majority so I could be more proactive in providing urgently-needed legislation and congressional insight," Abante said. "Marami po ang ating pinagdaanan, and I will always cherish the time we worked together. Tulad ng lagi kong sinabi, magkaiba man ang partido natin o ang paniniwala natin o ang idelohiya natin, there are more things that unite us, there are more advocacies we share,"And there will always be one thing that will always bind us together: our desire to serve our people," he added.

Di na ako magugulat sa ganyang isyu kasi si abante ang matinding tapagtanggol dati ni gloria. Si gloria na amo ni duterte kaya as usual si abante tuta rin. Peke naman pagiging minority leader nyan kasi tahimik at walang imik sa ginagawang pahirap ng rehimeng ito sa taumbayan.

Is this one of those left pocket to right pocket deals?

Let us not forget, the House is not only a swamp full of hungry crocs, It is also a house full of 'Hunyangos'. KangKongresman

it’s a fake minority bloc anyway, 🤷🏻‍♀️

They just want a different leader for the minority kuno.

This makes me think the House of Representatives either fails to represent its constituents or that represents what they are perfectly. It can go either way.

Saving their asses.
