Senate President Pro Tempore Has Not Resigned Yet
Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo Lacson has yet to submit his resignation letter as chair of the Blue Ribbon committee, officials reported. This update came despite earlier talks about his possible departure from the position.
Senate President Vicente Sotto III confirmed in a recent press briefing that “We have not received anything, and he has not submitted a letter. But we talked last night.” This statement clarified the current status of the resignation process.
Ongoing Discussions Between Senate Leaders
Sources noted that although no formal resignation has been filed, conversations between Senate leaders remain active. The dialogue between Lacson and Sotto suggests ongoing deliberations rather than immediate action.
Community members also highlighted that such developments are closely monitored, as the chair of the Blue Ribbon committee plays a significant role in legislative oversight.
Implications for the Blue Ribbon Committee Leadership
Local leaders observed that the delay in submitting the resignation letter means the committee’s leadership remains unchanged for now. The Blue Ribbon committee continues its functions under Lacson’s chairmanship until official changes occur.
Officials reported that any transition would be formally announced once the resignation is officially tendered and accepted.
Senate Leadership Stresses Transparency
In light of the situation, Senate authorities emphasized their commitment to transparency and proper procedure. They assured the public that any updates regarding committee leadership would be promptly communicated.
Community members expressed the importance of following established protocols to maintain trust in the Senate’s operations.
