Rep. Risa Hontiveros’ Statement on Proclamation of 13th Senator

On the question of the proclamation of a 13th senator, it is an interesting legal question that should promptly be brought to the proper body for answers and to set a precedent for such an incident, should it occur again.

 

As we all know, this is the first time in our country that a sitting senator with an unexpired term has ran and won the presidency.

 

I have been asked several times regarding this issue and I believe that the question should be submitted to the appropriate authorities so that we can all be guided accordingly. ###
