President Rodrigo Duterte recently endorsed Cayetano, his running-mate during the 2016 elections, as his bet for next House Speaker in the 18th Congress.
During the meeting with some PDP-Laban congressmen, Cayetano vowed that the lower chamber of the 18th Congress, under his possible leadership, would have full debates on significant issues that will affect the welfare of the Filipino people. - This story was first published on GMA News Online
