“Puwede, puwede (He is qualified),” said
recently by former five-time Speaker Jose de Venecia, the power behind the
vaunted Rainbow Coalition of congressmen in the former Ramos Administration.
Known as JDV, he said in a social function
here that Cayetano, who was the vice presidential tandem of President – Elect
Rodrigo Duterte, can wiggle to the senate presidency through his ability and
the influences of Duterte to the members of the 24-man August Chamber.
“It
depends upon your ability to mobilize strategic intra-party quantities,” he
stressed.
The former Speaker agreed that Duterte’s
support will have a say for the senator’s choice of their top whip
when the Senate convenes on July this year.
"He has a definite say".
The president-elect in his recent media interviews disclosed that he was hands off on the selection for the senate's top man.
