MANILA, Philippines – Ibinasura ni Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri ang maling ulat na kamuntik na itong mapatalsik sa puwesto matapos punahin ng Palasyo ang kanyang liderato sanhi ng kapos na produktibidad.

Sa isang news website, ibinulgar nitong Martes, Marso 7 na hindi masaya ang Palasyo sa performance ni Zubiri sa Senado dahil sa “low output” nito sa pagpapasa ng pangunahing legislative measures.

Itinuring ni Zubiri ang artikulo na “nothing but tabloid gossip rubbish” at “figment of someone’s boredom.”

“There has been no talk of leadership changes as well as any warnings from any one on the low output of the Senate,” ayon kay Zubiri.

Ipinagtanggol din niya ang performance ng Senado saka iginiit na hiwalay na institusyon ang Mataas na Kapulungan at hindi ito “rubber stamp.”

“First off all, the Senate carefully studies each and every measure as we debate on this thoroughly to improve every draft legislation. With due respect, we are not a rubber stamp institution,” aniya.

Sinabi ni Zubiri na masaya siyang aalis sa puwesto kung hindi na siya suportado ng kanyang kasamahan.

“At the end of the day, I serve at the pleasure of my colleagues and if there are 13 votes to elect a new Senate President then I will gladly step down,” aniya.

Kasabay nito, ipinagtanggol naman ng ilang kasamahan ang liderato ni Zubiri saka tinawag siyang “very good leader.”

“I think Sen. Zubiri is a very good leader… They should be given a chance as it is way too early to pass judgement,” ayon kay Senador Sonny Angara.

“I and majority of senators are satisfied and happy with the leadership of Senate President Zubiri,” giit naman ni Senador JV Ejercito.

“This news article is obviously a desperate and pathetic move to destroy not only the reputation of Senate President Migz Zubiri but also to destabilize the integrity of the Senate as an institution,” dagdag ni Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva.

“This (news article) is totally untrue… Let us focus on our job, to enact laws that best serves our people, at this crucial time in our national life. Let’s not waste any minute on useless, imaginary thoughts that do not uplift lives,” pahayag naman ni Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda.

“Zubiri enjoys the full trust and support of the majority,” giit ni Senador Win Gatchalian.

“Sen. Migz is one of the most progressive, hardworking and unifying Senate Presidents… Very strong support from his colleagues,” ayon naman kay Senador Grace Poe. Ernie Reyes
