DAVAO CITY — President Rodrigo Duterte reminded his two allies Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano and Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco against breaking the term-sharing deal they agreed upon.

President Rodrigo warned his two allies against breaking the term-sharing deal they agreed upon.

” Ganito ‘yan. Ang usapan namin before the election at saka — not really election, ‘yung dito sa ano. Ang usapan namin is sharing the entire — half, half. Ngayon, if anyone of them would not honor it, be it Lord Velasco or si Peter Cayetano that is — that would be his decision, But iyon, he has to take care that there is an agreement of sharing. If you violate it… Usapan ‘yan,” Duterte emphasized.

Under the term-sharing deal brokered by Duterte on July 22, Cayetano would hold the highest position at the House for 15 months, or until October 2020, while Velasco would take over and serve until the 18th Congress ends in 2022.
