Cayetano words leave room for doubt in term-sharing deal
House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano had this to say Sunday about the impending turnover of leadership in the 300-member Lower Chamber based on an agreement he made with Marinduque lone district Rep. Lord Allan Velasco before the start of the 18th Congress.“Usap-usapan naman kasi doon kung magpapalitan it’s only the Speaker and baka isang committee lang, and everyone else will stay ,” Cayetano told DZBB radio in an interview.
Back then, Cayetano said: “Ako ang personal commitment ko po sa ating Pangulo bilang head ng koalisyon, maghihintay ako ng advice niya sa tamang oras. Having said that, wala naman po nagbabago sa aming mga napag-usapan .” In the radio interview, Cayetano clarified that the 15th month of his term will be this October, meaning a turnover in leadership can’t happen until November.
In the recently released calendar for the ongoing second regular session, it was indicated that the chamber would be on break from October 17 to November 15. This means that there would be no plenary sessions during that period.
