Magandang gabi Luzon, Visayas at Mindanao. Nagbitiw bilang senate president si Senador Juan Miguel Zubiri matapos umanong hindi makasunod sa "instructions" ng mga nasa kapangyarihan. Aminado si Zubiri na masama ang loob sa nangyari na posibleng nag-ugat aniya sa isinusulong na Charter change at pagdinig sa tinaguriang PDEA leaks.

00:00 Good evening Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:03 Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri was elected as Senate President
00:08 after refusing to follow the instructions of the powerful.
00:14 Zubiri admitted that he was offended by the possible origin of the incident
00:19 in the following charter change and violation of the PIDEA lease.
00:24 Next, Senator Cheese Escudero was declared as a replacement and was nominated for the position.
00:30 Bob Gonzales was live.
00:33 Vicky Maris Emil was the leader of the Senate last week before the long break of the Congress.
00:44 Under the new Senate President Escudero, it seems that the charter change will be canceled.
00:54 In the middle of the Senate session earlier, Senate President Mig Zubiri was elected.
01:00 I have never dictated my position on any of you, you know that.
01:03 I've always supported your independence, which is probably why I face my demise today.
01:09 I failed to follow instructions from the powers that be. Simple as that.
01:15 I've listened to all my colleagues throughout my Senate presidency, and again I listen to them today.
01:21 As we head into a new period for the Senate, I fought the good fight.
01:27 If I've ruffled some feathers in doing so, then so be it.
01:32 I did not accept the position of President of the Senate just to let it fall.
01:39 Today, I offer my resignation as Senate President of the Republic of the Philippines.
01:47 Zubiri one-on-one followed the actions of the Senate during his two-year term
01:52 along with the Senate's decision to adopt the People's Initiative for the January charter change.
01:57 I have put myself on the line to shield the Senate from all attacks,
02:02 particularly from efforts to diminish the powers of this institution as the country's last bastion of democracy.
02:09 In January, we fought against the dreaded People's Initiative,
02:14 which would have destroyed this very institution I'm standing here right now.
02:20 God knows what I had to do to defend this.
02:23 Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa could not help but cry as Zubiri gave his speech.
02:28 After Zubiri, the Senate leaders also stood up one-on-one.
02:33 Senator Cheese Escudero was nominated as the new Senate President.
02:36 No other nominee was nominated, so Escudero was declared the winner by acclamation.
02:41 The election of Senate President Francis Cheese Escudero is hereby recognized.
02:52 Congratulations, Senator Francis Cheese Escudero.
02:57 Escudero was accompanied by his wife, Heart Evangelista, who was also nominated.
03:01 My hats off to you, Senate President Zubiri. I salute you and I hope I will make you proud.
03:07 There is no My Team, no Your Team for me. No SPMIGS, no Cheese for me.
03:15 I think that each of us are members of the same Senate.
03:21 Senator Gingoy Estrada was nominated as the new Senate President Pro Tempore,
03:25 while Senator Francis Tolentino was the new Majority Leader.
03:29 Minority Leader Senator Coco Pimentel will remain.
03:32 Zubiri will be the independent Senator but he promised to help the new leaderato.
03:37 He will also replace the chairperson of some committee members.
03:41 Zubiri admitted that he has a bad feeling about what happened.
03:47 I only found out last Wednesday that they are talking to each other.
03:54 We were watching over them last weekend.
04:02 I feel bad because some of them were texting me, "We're with you. We're full support."
04:10 We are 100% with you.
04:15 We haven't done anything yet. It's really hard to be a politician.
04:21 He started talking about the Charter Change and he was even more upset because of the PDEA leaks hearings.
04:27 I'm only presuming that is the cause because many people told me,
04:33 "Stop the hearings, this and that."
04:38 It's hard to talk about it.
04:45 I must have ruffled other people's feathers from my independent stance of the Senate.
04:55 It didn't stop there.
04:57 Even during the PIPO's initiative, we didn't agree on their timelines and Charter Change.
05:10 I felt that there are bad feelings and it's hard because I just want the independence of our institution of the Senate to remain.
05:24 So I saw it coming.
05:27 Now, the chairperson of the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments has been replaced.
05:31 Zubiri said,
05:32 Goodbye ChaCha. Senator Escudero is already signing.
05:37 Senator Alnara is already signing.
05:40 We had to cancel. It's all canceled.
05:44 You know that Senator Escudero is against ChaCha.
05:47 He's openly against ChaCha.
05:50 I hope the people that supported him know that.
05:53 As far as we're concerned, ChaCha this week is dead.
05:56 The new Senate President Escudero's appointment was just right.
05:59 To his excellence, to his patience, to his hard work, to his unwavering love for the country.
06:07 Meanwhile, Senate President Escudero said that they will discuss with the majority on how to re-arrange the committee chairmanship.
06:21 Thank you very much, Mav Gonzales.
