Senator Chiz Escudero is Now the Senate President
Escudero Opposes Proposed Charter Changes
MANILA, Philippines
Senator Francis Escudero has been sworn in as the new Senate President. Escudero has stated that he remains opposed to any efforts to amend the 1987 Constitution. This stance is significant given the recent calls from some quarters for changes to the charter.
Escudero's election as Senate President marks a shift in leadership in the upper house of Congress. He replaces Senator Tito Sotto, who served as Senate President for the past three years.
The new Senate President's views on charter change will likely influence the direction of discussions on this issue in the coming months. His opposition to any amendments could pose a challenge to those who favor revising the Constitution.
