Sen. Joel Villanueva says he will attend a potential special session of Congress that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. may convene. In a video message delivered to his family at the Jesus Is Lord Church, Villanueva links his decision to the ongoing wrangling in the Senate and says the dispute is affecting not only the institution but also its employees. He frames the situation as a continuing problem that public servants must address, emphasizing that they should not keep fighting and that lawmakers should focus on ensuring the Senate continues to work. Villanueva also stresses that the timing is not for taking sides, suggesting the dispute should not hinder the Senate’s ability to function. Some observers have said the special session—if called—could be used to address or resolve the Senate leadership row. Villanueva’s announcement is presented as a willingness to participate in whatever Congress schedules, while his remarks focus on restoring effective legislative operations.
