Loren Legarda as a future Senate president, but this is not a power sharing or term sharing scheme, Senate President Vicente Sotto III clarified yesterday. We plan to elect her as the first woman Senate president after the 2027 budget. “She was my Senate President Pro Temp in my first term as Senate President in the 19th Congress. So I said, future Senate President,” Zubiri said in an ambush interview yesterday. Maybe she can be Senate President, the first woman Senate President.
