Press Release August 3, 2011
TRANSCRIPTS: SEN. JINGGOY ESTRADA
On the resignation of Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri SJEE: I feel sad because of the decision of Sen. Zubiri to resign and I think he is a big loss to the Senate and he has done a lot for our people and our country. We will have to respect his decision. That is a very, very painful decision for him to make. It is also a supreme sacrifice on his part to resign as Senator of the Republic. Paano maapektuhan ang Senado? SJEE: Well, of course hindi naman masyadong maapektuhan dahil yung mga committees na hawak niya mabibigay sa ibang mga senador. So it will really not affect the Senate. But of course, I as his number one ally here in the Senate will always be supportive of every decision that he will make. How about his electoral protest? SJEE: If he will withdraw his electoral protest before the Senate Electoral Tribunal, I think Atty. Koko Pimentel might be able to sit down as a Senator, if he will withdraw. Kailan pwedeng mangyari? SJEE: Maybe in due time, if he withdraws his protest before the Senate Electoral Tribunal. Maybe in due time, Atty. Koko Pimentel might be in the Senate. How long sir? SJEE: That I do not know. Nag-usap ba kayo ni Sen. Zubiri? SJEE: Before. Last week. Anong sinabi niya? SJEE: Well, he was contemplating with that idea of resigning. What did you tell him? SJEE: As a friend, I discouraged him. I said, "You have to fight it out if you really did nothing. You really have to fight it out." (But) We have to respect his decision. |
