The camp of Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, who asserts he remains the Senate president, is advocating for interim administrative arrangements to facilitate operations within the Senate following a leadership dispute. The proposal, articulated by Atty. Jose Luis Montales, suggests implementing a dual-signatory or joint certification system for critical documents, such as checks and contracts, to ensure continuity in Senate functions. This comes after a June 3 session where the new majority, led by Senate President Pro Tempore Sherwin Gatchalian, declared all seats vacant, a move Cayetano's group contests as unconstitutional. Montales emphasized the importance of maintaining Senate operations and progressing with impeachment proceedings without disruption. He has requested a meeting with the new Senate Secretary, Renato Bantug Jr., to discuss these proposals further. The Senate is currently serving as an impeachment court, with a trial for Vice President Sara Duterte scheduled to begin on July 6, highlighting the urgency of resolving the leadership conflict.
