Sen. Vicente "Tito" Sotto III replaces Sen. Francis Escudero as the senate president earlier today, September 8, 2025.
The sudden shift was brought about by Sen. Miguel Zubiri's nomination of Sotto, claiming "he always led with fairness and transparency, and he led with an open ear and a decisive hand, ensuring unity and stability in the Senate at all times."
Sen. Loren Legarda backed the aforementioned nomination of Sotto, solidifying his seat as the Senate president candidate without any other nominations or objections.
Furthermore, Sotto claimed earlier in the day that 15 senators backed his prospective repositioning due to current problems within the pre-existing system and leadership of Sen. Francis Escudero.
However, Sotto was quick to clarify that the change wasn't related to flood control issues nor was it unplanned.
Meanwhile, Escudero respects the Senate's decision, congratulating the new Senate president, "I hold no grudges, I hold no ill feelings," he said.
