House Speaker Martin Romualdez describes amid coup rumors against him that destabilization plots in the House of Representatives 'should be nipped in the bud'. ManilaBulletin
As it is, the well-oiled machine that is the House seemingly began to act up when the leadership "demoted" Pampanga 2nd district Representative and former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo from being the senior deputy speaker tp just a deputy speaker last May 17.
A day after, Vice President Duterte resigned as Lakas-CMD chairperson. Duterte and Arroyo, Lakas-CMD's chairperson emeritus, are known to be close. "The House cannot be distracted from finding legislative solutions to issues that affect the lives of ordinary Filipinos. Rather than engaging in politicking, I would rather that we, in the House of Representatives, remain focused on more urgent matters," Romualdez said.
Romualdez is Marcos' cousin and most trusted lieutenant in the legislature, if not the entire bureaucracy.
