Date:

Incoming President Rodrigo Duterte urged congress and senate to work each other and support Senator Aquillino “Koko” Pimentel after declaring that Pimentel is the one he’s supporting.

“He supports me as Senate President, and he appreciates the fact the majority was organized and the committees were assigned pursuant to principles and not transactions,” Pimentel said

“So if we liken the Senate to a machine, it is an efficient machine,” he said.

Pimentel said any changes would be based on the Senate’s “collective decision.”

As for any differences he and Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano—who was Duterte’s running mate—may have, Pimentel laid them to rest.

“What he [Duterte] said was that Alan and I must be together,” he said.

Cayetano also desired to be the Senate President.
