But Lacson said the plan, supposedly initiated by a member of the Senate’s majority bloc, did not materialize.
“Based on the reports that I got and I gathered, ano lang, it was a report coming from one of the employees lang,” Sotto told reporters. He also said that Senators Bong Go and Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, both from the majority bloc, approached him during Monday’s session and said they had nothing to do with the supposed plot to oust him.“What I can confirm is that there was a report to that effect, ganun lang [it’s just that], I cannot really say that the attempt was there. At most, it was an idea,” he said.“Siguro merong nakaisip, pagkatapos ‘di naman natuloy, nag-fizzle out siguro,” he added.
“Walang lumapit sa akin nung break for any resolution or any move to oust Sotto, narinig ko lang yung balita na yun through the staff and baka tsismis lang po yan, baka staff lang ang nagi-initiate,” he said.“Even he has the love and trust of the minority, very close po yung minority leader sa ating Senate president [Our minority leader is very close with our Senate president],” the majority leader added.
Zubiri called for an end to discussions of leadership change in the upper chamber, saying the Senate should focus on ensuring that priority measures are passed on time.
