“I was talking to Senator Koko on Monday last week and his commitment to me is to reach out to Alan after his meeting with Duterte,” Zubiri told reporters.
Zubiri believes that the two senators should reconcile considering that they are both supporting the legislative agenda of incoming president Rodrigo Duterte.
“I hope that they talk. One can be senate president while the other can be senate president pro-tempore. Then, they can always do a swap later on. Let them discuss it among themselves,” Zubiri stated.
Senator-elect Joel Villanueva also confirmed the upcoming meeting between Pimentel and Cayetano.
“The last time I spoke with Senator Koko, he said he and Senator Alan are set to talk together with President-elect Digong.”
Sen. Koko has the numbers unless something happened.
Pimentel once said that 17 senators have signified support his bid as the next senate president.
But for some senators, they are still weighing things on who to support.
“They’re both my friends. Senator Alan Cayetano was the first one who talked to me. But Senator Koko Pimentel and I have also talked about the matter,” said Sen. JV Ejercito.
“I’m still hoping that there is still time for them to reconcile before the 17th congress formally opens,” he added.
