Iginiit ni Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano na si Senate President Pro Tempore Sherwin Gatchalian ay nang-aagaw umano ng awtoridad, na aniya’y nagresulta sa sitwasyon ng “dalawang Senado.”
”As far as I’m concerned, nagyu-usurp ng authority si Sen. Nguyen because he’s not really the acting president pababa, pero maraming problema ang ating bansa, why don’t we focus on that?
So apparently, ayaw nila pumayag, dalawa Senado natin ngayon. You have the Senate of the Philippines and you have the Senate of Malacanang…
As a nation, we have to decide whether the Senate will be under the thumb of Malacañang,” ani Cayetano
