by Rita Salonga
Senator Alan Peter Cayetano is not giving up yet on the hope that he will still be able to claim the Senate Presidential seat in the 17
th
Congress.
According to Senator JV Ejercito, Cayetano and some other Senators met up with him as they seek his support and go up against Senator Koko Pimentel.
Ejercito mentioned that Senator Cayetano said that he has the support of incoming President Rodrigo Duterte, who was his running-mate in the recent national elections.
According to the Senator, Cayetano believes that the alleged “super majority” composition is not yet sealed and that there will be other Senators from the said group who will have a change of heart.
Senator Ejercito also mentioned that his fellow Senator will try to lobby the term sharing in the Senate, wherein Cayetano will seat first as Senate President in the opening of the 17
th
Congress, after that, he will be replaced by Senator Koko.
Senator Cayetano is also targeting a Cabinet post in the Duterte administration after the one year ban for candidates has been lifted.
