[0:00] Senator Alan Caetano is regulation.
[0:31] I have the privilege to work with you when you were Senate President and I was Speaker.
[0:38] We disagreed, but we found a way to disagree in private and then work together for the country.
[0:46] So I really admire your statement yesterday saying that you serve at the pleasure of the body.
[0:52] So may I manifest that there are now at least 13 members of the Senate who wish to have a leadership change.
[1:02] And that Senator Bato De La Rosa is in the building and will be here in a minute.
[1:08] So may I kindly inform and apologize to the Senate President that for security reasons,
[1:15] I could not go up to you earlier to ask you and tell you this, but had to inform you this way.
[1:22] But I give you all my respect and ask for an orderly transition in accordance with our rule, Mr. President. Thank you.
