MANILA, Philippines — Senator Alan Peter Cayetano has been removed from his position as Senate President following a dramatic leadership reorganization in the Senate on Wednesday.
The move came after Senate President Tito Sotto pushed a motion declaring all Senate leadership positions vacant, paving the way for a fresh round of elections for key posts within the chamber.
In the ensuing vote, Senator Win Gatchalian was elected as acting Senate President and acting Senate President Pro Tempore, marking a significant shift in the Senate’s leadership structure.

The latest developments are being closely watched as the Senate prepares to tackle key national issues in the coming months.
