ANGARA: I WILL SUPPORT SP WHO WILL PURSUE
AN AGENDA OF REFORM

Senator Edgardo J. Angara today said he and his block in the Senate will support a Senate President who will pursue an agenda of reform and change.

"We will act jointly and elect whoever presents a genuine and strategic legislative reform agenda for the Senate. We want someone who has vision and foresight, and who will prioritize laws that will propel the country's growth, create jobs and ensure the delivery of basic social services," he said.

At the Kapihan sa Senado earlier today, Senator Nene Pimentel said the Angara block will be influential in deciding who will be elected Senate President.

Angara confirmed that several Senate President aspirants have begun talking to his group, but that they have yet to decide on who to support.

"We will pick someone who will act for the higher interest of our country and the institution of the Senate," said Angara, who was Senate President from 1993 to 1995.
