(Eagle News) — Quezon Rep. Danilo Suarez is still the House minority leader.
This was after a majority of the members of the House of Representatives approved the motion of Majority Leader Rolando Andaya declaring the Quezon representative as such.
Northern Samar 1st District Representative Raul Daza tried to object, but to no avail.
Apart from Andaya, Rep. Miro Quimbo and ABS Rep. Eugene de Vera were vying for the post.
Their supporters argued Suarez could no longer be the minority leader as under House rules, those who voted for the Speaker who won, in this case Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, were not a part of the minority.
