In a press conference, Zubiri maintained that he did not ask Marcos’ help to convince senators who are against economic Charter change (Cha-cha). We did not ask for his help because it’s more of an independent issue by Congress and Senate,” Zubiri told reporters. ADVERTISEMENTThe Senate is currently leading talks on economic Cha-cha under Marcos’ directive. Again, as I’ve said, it’s a challenge,” Zubiri added. Hontiveros and Senate Minority Leader Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III only need seven votes to block the Cha-cha initiative in the upper chamber.
