Las Piñas City Rep. Camille Villar is still a deputy speaker in the House of Representatives, despite her making it crystal clear last month that she didn’t want the plum post.A House leader who declined to be named had this to say Wednesday amid confusion as to the true number of deputy speakers in the 18th Congress.
“Rep. Camille was elected by the plenary and I think if you decline or resign, it has to be accepted by the plenary also,” he said. Supporting the “finality” of Villar’s election, which took place during session last November 19, was the removal of Batangas Rep. Raneo Abu from the deputy speaker’s roster. It was Abu’s spot that was given to Villar.
