Velasco camp to declare speaker seat vacant if Cayetano won't resign on Oct 14

THE camp of Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco will pursue the term-sharing agreement and declare the Speaker seat vacant if incumbent Alan Peter Cayetano will not step down on October 14, the date agreed upon during the meeting with President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday.

“They will pursue the 15-21 agreement and then declare the position vacant and then we will see how each and every congressman will decide. Will they follow what the President suggests or not and that will determine the fate of Congress in the next few years,” said Velasco ally, Deputy Speaker Sharon Garin in an interview with ANC on Friday.
