Zubiri thanks senators for trust; House: We didn’t start coup talk

House leaders on Tuesday rejected claims that coup rumors against Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri emanated from the Lower Chamber, saying lawmakers should not be dragged into the political drama of the Upper Chamber.

Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III and Sen. Risa Hontiveros from the minority bloc and independent senators Alan Cayetano and Pia Cayetano also have yet to sign the statement of support for Zubiri. “So despite this political drama, my only appeal is to just focus on the legislative agenda. I hope that the Senate will handle its internal matters appropriately,” Bongalon said.
