HOUSE Speaker Martin Romualdez was designated as caretaker of the third legislative districts of Palawan and Negros Oriental until the midterm elections in May 2025, the House of Representatives said Tuesday, November 8, 2023.The vacancies were brought about by the expulsion of Negros Oriental Third District representative Arnolfo Teves Jr. and the passing of Palawan congressman Edward Hagedorn in October.“We are in a status quo, which means the Speaker will act as the caretaker.
The term of whoever is elected in a special election is short, tapos may mga protest pa ‘yan, may magfa-file ng disqualification, and so on and so forth. That will drag on,” Velasco added.
