00:18 First Lady Liza Marcos posted this picture of the casual dinner last night

00:24 at the President's house inside Malacanang compound.

00:27 President Marcos was there with the new Senate President Cheese Escudero

00:31 and 10 other senators who supported him to be elected.

00:36 Senator Bong Revilla was not in the picture,

00:39 but his wife, Cavite 2nd District Representative Lani Mercado-Revilla, was there.

00:44 Next to her was First Lady Heart Evangelista, who owns Cheese's house.

00:48 Senator Wynne Gatchalian and Senator Lauren Legarda were also there, even though they did not sign for Escudero.

00:55 The dinner took place one day after former Senate President Meg Zubiri resigned.

01:01 According to the senators who attended the dinner, there was no sign of him in the Senate leadership.

01:07 - Did you bring any President? - No.

01:10 - I'm still reviewing the plan. So that has nothing to do with the change of leadership in the Senate.

01:16 - Just socials, purely socials. There was no discussion of politics.

01:22 The Senate Committee on Constitutional Amendments Chair, Senator Robin Padilla, said that there was no discussion of the amendment to the Constitution.

01:31 - If there's anyone who will mention it, it's me.

01:33 But I didn't mention it because it's casual. It's embarrassing to mention politics.

01:40 According to Escudero, he's not pro-cha-cha, but...

01:44 - But at the end of the day, as a Senate, the new majority is inclined towards that too.

01:50 But at the same time, we have to balance our relationship with the House.

01:54 Escudero also said that the President did not know what would happen if the Senate leader was replaced.

02:00 - He never knew about it because he was in Dumaguete and Bacolod.

02:03 By the time he landed, he found out that there was already a change and it was finished.

02:07 That was what he told me.

02:08 - Sir, did you tell him that you were conscious of privacy?

02:11 - Um, no.

02:12 In a session held this afternoon, the committee chairmanship was already decided

02:17 following the change in Senate leadership.

02:19 For JMA Integrated News, Maris Umali, KTOTALK, 24 Hours.

02:24 (upbeat music)
