The third regular session of the 19Congress will open next week with still only two members of the minority bloc in the upper chamber, according to Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III.
Pimentel said no one among the so-called “Solid 7” alliance of senators who supported then Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri reached out to them to join the minority bloc. Apart from Zubiri and Villanueva, the seven includes Senators Loren Legarda, Nancy Binay, Joseph Victor Ejercito, Sherwin Gatchalian, and Juan Edgardo Angara.
Villanueva said joining the minority was one of their options. At the time, he said they talked to Pimentel, who informed them they are very much welcome in the opposition.
