Meanwhile, Escudero said he will leave it to the members of the 20th Congress to decide if he will stay as the Senate president after the midterm elections.

“Nasa kamay ‘yon no’ng mga miyembro ng Senado sa 20th Congress na hindi pa natin alam kung sinu-sino dahil hindi pa naman tapos ang halalan,” Escudero said.
