Members of the House of Representatives, not President Duterte, would make the ultimate decision on the selection of their Speaker, Malacañang declared Monday in the wake of reports a term-sharing arrangement might be derailed.

Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo said the President would not meddle in the House affairs, including the term-sharing plan between Taguig Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano and Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco.

He explained that the term-sharing arrangement between Cayetano and Velasco was a mere suggestion from the President after some lawmakers sought his guidance. He insisted that it was now up to the lawmakers to choose their own leader. “Again that is between the members of Congress. We will not interfere,” he added.

Cavite Rep. Elpidio Barzaga Jr. earlier reportedly said such arrangement could be set aside given Cayetano’s soaring public trust and approval ratings.
