Meeting with Lakas fails |
|
Caucus called to head off showdown at House
|
|
The Sunday meeting of Lakas Party stalwarts
failed to settle the House leadership row, with leaders agreeing
only to reconvene at 10 a.m. Monday in a last-ditch effort to keep
the coalition intact.
A showdown is expected when the House of
Representatives is called into session today, as Speaker Jose de
Venecia Jr. faces moves to remove him. His reported contender, Davao
City Rep. Prospero Nograles, was expected but was absent at the
Palace meeting Sunday convened by President Gloria Arroyo.
