Snippet:
The faction of Alan Peter Cayetano in the Senate is asking the Supreme Court to nullify the leadership change in the upper chamber. The group argued the change was done without the constitutionally required quorum. They say only twelve senators were physically present when Senator Sherwin Gatchalian was installed as Acting Senate President.
