Lagman:Suarez was “unsuccessful.."

Minority leader Albay Representative Edcel Lagman said that Quezon Representative Danilo Suarez doesnt have the numbers to become Minority Leader. Lagman said that Suarez was “unsuccessful in his attempt yesterday afternoon to get the endorsement of his minority colleagues.”

In a source from a television report only six members of the minority group attended the meeting held at the Manila Golf and Country Club on Saturday. Suarez needs the support of at least 15 congressmen to get the position as " term-sharing for the Minority leadership, as the splitting arrangement was limited to the speakership" Lagman said.
