Sinabi ni Senate Pres. Migz Zubiri na nakatanggap siya ng mga ulat tungkol sa umano'y pagpapalit ng liderato sa Senado dahil sa kaniyang posisyon sa Charter Change. Pero iginiit niyang hindi na niya papatulan ang mga ito at gagawin na lamang ang kaniyang tungkulin bilang Senate President. "Kung may black propaganda man sa akin, that's part of the game. Ako naman 'pag may 13 signatures, I'm willing to step down any time. 'Yan ay prerogative ng ating peers. We serve at the pleasure of our peers. Ang akin diyan is we are doing our best and we have been passing a lot of legislation." #News5 Follow News5 and stay updated with the latest stories!

Q. May kinalaman sa talks ng Senate leadership sa Charter change para may ganun pang usap-usapan?

... It's a time-bound and honored tradition na we take our time to pass the measures. Talagang ginagawa namin lahat para pag-aralan itong mga issues na ito. Yan ang naging tradisyon sa Senado for decades and decades since the start of the Philippine Senate. Nandito tayo na yan sa original Senate of the Philippines.

That's the bulwark of the Senate as an institution. Kaya kung may black propaganda sa akin that's part of the game. Ako naman pag may 13 signatures I'm willing to step down at any time. Yan po ang talagang prerogative ng ating peers. We serve the pleasure of our peers.

But what we haven't done is we're doing our best and we've been passing a lot of legislation. This week alone two priority measures. Ang pinasan namin ay ang AFP sa revolving door leadership problem na we already solved and passed on 3rd reading the other day.

We also passed the loan condonation, amortization condonation of the agrarian reform beneficiaries. Tuloy-tuloy yan. Next week we'll be passing a lot of measures. We also passed the Aral Bill to help indigent students get more help and assistance from government for their educational needs. Marami kaming napapasan.

Ang mga black prop na ganyan hindi po kami masisila o hindi po kami madidistorbo sa aming trabaho. Tuloy-tuloy lang po ang aming trabaho sa Senado. And rest assured to the Filipino people, we will work our best. Kung yung nickname po nga ay trabaho doon ng Senado, sa tingin ko pakikita naman ng media.

Aming pinakahuling umaalis sa Senado. Aming talagang nagtatrabaho para mapasan natin itong mga batas na ito. But it takes time because we respect each and every individual senator on their proposals, amendments and of course debates.

So ganoon talaga ang Senado. Mas mabagal. It's historical. Mas mabagal talaga ang Senado because we take more time. There's 24 of us that are debating and we allow these debates on the floor. We allow these issues to be tackled on the committee level and we allow the amendments to be thoroughly discussed.

So okay lang sa akin ito. Ang akin lang sana focus na tayo sa trabaho, sa daming problema ng bansa. Inflation, nagpapasalamat ako sa gobyerno na ilalabas po nila ang P1,000 per family of inflationary assistance. Sana madagdagan pa yun.

Let's also tackle salary increases for our people. I think it's about time that we should look at increasing the wages of our workers to a living wage, hindi lang yung salary wage or daily wage, but a living wage na comfortable naman sila.

We think we should share the blessings of this economic momentum, this push for economic recovery. Let's share the blessings also sa ating mga mga mga kawal.

Q. Ato po ba ang position ng Charter change?

... If there are limits na ipapasok, pagtanggal ng term limits, pag-extension ng mga terms, syempre magagalit ang taong mayo dyan. Let us focus on the job at hand. Post-pandemic recovery, Senate of National Reconstruction, we're going to continue that agenda, continue to be focused on that. Tulungan namin ng Pangulo sa kanyang pagbenta, pag-invite ng investors dito sa ating bansa. And of course yan ang No. 1 priority namin.

... Patulungan natin ang mga kababayan na umangon sa kahirapan."

... There have always been talks of full reimbursement, black propaganda is all around. Importante is let's remain focused on the job at hand and this is a Senate for National Reconstruction. Tuloy-tuloy lang po ang aming trabaho para sa ating mga kababayan."
