In a recent interview, Sen. Vicente “Tito” Sotto III confirmed circulating talks about another ouster move against him — a sign that political tides may once again be shifting in the upper chamber.

While Sotto did not name who’s behind the move, his tone hinted at growing internal friction among Senate blocs. The former Senate President, known for his calm yet firm leadership, seemed unbothered.

“Sanay na tayo diyan. Politics has no permanent friends, only permanent interests,” he said.

Analysts say this could be connected to recent disagreements over budget priorities, committee chairmanships, and rumored realignments among party alliances.

If the talks materialize, this would mark another attempt to unseat Sotto — a reminder that power in politics is as fleeting as the alliances that sustain it.

Ping Lacson Invites Zaldy Co to Join Flood Control Hearing via Zoom: “No Excuses for Accountability”

In the midst of the heated Flood Control Controversy, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson confirmed that the Senate is extending its invitation to Rep. Zaldy Co — this time, even allowing him to participate via Zoom.

Lacson’s statement comes after weeks of questions surrounding Co’s absence from previous hearings. Many are linking his name to allegations of irregularities in flood control projects and questionable budget allocations exposed by Orly Guteza and other whistleblowers.

“Kung hindi makadalo in person, may Zoom naman. Wala nang dahilan para umiwas,” said Lacson, stressing that digital platforms should never be an excuse for avoiding public accountability.

Observers note that the Senate’s decision to offer virtual participation may indicate both caution and persistence — ensuring that no key figure can evade inquiry, regardless of location.

🗣️ In the digital age, transparency has no borders — kahit sa Zoom, dapat harap-harapan ang katotohanan.
