'I thought I’ve seen strange things in my political career, and this happens to be the strangest,' says Senator Migz Zubiri, who was ousted as Senate president

This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.

At a press briefing on Monday, Zubiri said that, as early as Wednesday, May 15, he was already aware of the supposed ouster plot against him. Zubiri had warned Dela Rosa to stop using Senate hearings for political persecution, but failed to stop the probe. Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV claimed that it was former president Rodrigo Duterte who instructed Dela Rosa to conduct hearings on the alleged PDEA leaks.

Meanwhile, Escudero said he campaigned on his own to be new leader of the Senate, refuting allegations that his election as the third highest government official was influenced by other political forces.
