Maintaining Senate's Integrity and Independence by Senate President Vicente C. Sotto III

I praise and thank the Lord our God for the many graces He has given me all these years. I praise and thank Him for the mission and path that He has led me to undertake from the time I become Vice Mayor of Quezon City up to being an elected Senator of the Republic. And I am particularly grateful to the Lord for the distinguished ladies and gentlemen that I have the privilege to associate myself, and work, with from 1988 up to the present. Each of them has positively contributed to my tremendously worthwhile journey called public service.

Of Gratitude and Productiveness by Senate President Vicente C. Sotto III

My esteemed colleagues, the Senate of the 17th Congress is a tale of two Senate Presidents. I was preceded by the young bar topnotcher and politically—pedigreed Senate President Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III whose term commenced in July 2016. It was historic and the first time that a father-and-son team served as Senate Presidents. I even served for his father. He was as good as his father.
