Ilagan explained her vote as “an assertion of Congress’ independence from Malacanang.”
She said the move to oust the Speaker was “no different from a game of chess where pawns are sacrificed to save the queen. It is a move to protect the beleaguered Arroyo leadership from unresolved issues of electoral fraud, bribery and corruption.”
Ungab’s “yes” vote surprised many since it is public knowledge that he owes his victory to Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, the political nemesis of Nograles.
Duterte made no comment on Nograles’ new post.
Of 59 Mindanawon representatives, only 53 cast their votes. Forty voted yes, 10 voted no and three abstained. Six were either absent or did not cast their votes: Nograles, Glenda Ecleo (Lakas/Dinagat Islands), Mujiv Hataman (Anak Mindanaw), Rosendo Labadlabad (Lakas/2nd district Zamboanga del Norte), Teofisto Guingona III (NP/2nd district Bukidnon), and Herminia Ramiro (Lakas/2nd district Misamis Occidental).
