Inihalal ng mga kapuwa kongresista si dating senador, at ngayo'y Batangas Representative Ralph Recto, bilang isa sa mga Deputy Speaker sa Kamara de Representantes. Kasabay nito, inihalal din ang mga kongresista na mamumuno sa iba't ibang komite sa kapulungan.
Isinagawa ang paghalal kay Recto bilang deputy speaker nitong Miyerkules, matapos na makapanumpa si Las Piñas Rep. Camille Villar, bilang isa rin sa mga deputy speakers ng kapulungan.
Ito ang ikalawang pagkakataon na nahirang si Villar ang naturang posisyon na hinawakan din niya nitong nagdaang Kongreso.
Matapos ng botohan sa plenaryo at maihalal na deputy speaker, nanumpa rin si Recto sa harap ni Speaker Martin Romualdez ng Leyte.
Kasama ni Recto ang kaniyang kabiyak na aktres na si dating Batangas Rep. Vilma Santos, at ang anak nilang si Ryan Christian.
