MB Daily News Update: Senate presidency in the bag for Zubiri

It’s all over but the shouting.

Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri will be the Senate President in the 19^th Congress, which opens June 30, 2022.

This, after Zubiri’s reported rival for the country’s third top post Senator Cynthia Villar backed out, and said that she would support a Zubiri leadership in the Senate.

President Duterte said he was keen on returning to his life as a professor in criminal law after he steps down from office.

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has filed charges against four officers of M/V Happy Hiro, which rammed a Philippine fishing boat, with 21 crewmen onboard, in the waters off Palawan last week. Eight are reportedly still missing among the crew.
