Pulong considers House speakership

By Nidz Godino

“I told Congressman Pulong, I said to him, maybe you want to run for speaker…he didn’t answer … maybe he’s also thinking about his chances being far-fetched,” Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio said less than a week after  elections, she has asked her brother, Rep. Paolo Duterte (Davao City, 1st District), to seek either  House speakership or minority leadership at the House of Representatives. 

However, Sara said her brother has not responded to either suggestion.

Sara said she proposed  alternate move for her brother: “If you don’t win speaker, then take  minority leadership…but he hasn’t given  answer yet… so I guess he’s still thinking about it.”

The vice president said she has no other preferred candidates for House speaker or Senate president and that no one has approached her seeking endorsement for either position.

She added that Paolo’s only comment was to advise her not to get into conflicts since she had just attended church mass.

Sara’s remarks about  House speakership come amid speculation of  possible House leadership shakeup in the 20th Congress. This has been denied by allies of House Speaker Martin Romualdez, said he still has numbers to retain  supermajority in the lower chamber. 

House Deputy Speaker Rep. Jay-Jay Suarez (Quezon, 2nd District) said  240 House members have already signed  manifesto of support for Romualdez. “And that number keeps climbing,” he added.  

Rift  between Duterte and  Marcos-Romualdez clan intensified in 2023 after Romualdez led  effort to slash her office’s confidential funds.
