MANILA, Philippines -- (UPDATED, 11: 30 a.m.) Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri is set to issue an “explosive” speech at the 3 p.m. Senate session today.



Amid rumors that he is going to resign as senator, a source inside the Zubiri camp said the senator has prepared two speeches, one of “resignation” and the other of “revelation.”



But Zubiri is inclined toward “resignation.”



The source, who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to speak, said Zubiri is resigning because of his “family.”



His father, Bukidnon Representative Jose Zubiri, mother, wife, three-year-old daughter, and one-year-old son are expected to be present at today’s Senate session.



Zubiri, who won the 12th Senate seat in the 2007 elections, has a pending case before the Senate Electoral Tribunal filed by Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III, who placed 13th in the same elections.

If he does resign, he would have earned my respect for not clinging on to his post in the Senate despite his very questionable victory and proclamation.

Zubiri resigns amid poll fraud scandal | Inquirer News

MANILA, Philippines—Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri announced his resignation from his post on Wednesday, saying he and his family were deeply hurt by fraud allegation and trial by publicity being waged by his rival, lawyer Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III, who lost against him for the 12th slot in the 2007 senatorial elections.

“Without admitting any fault and with my vehement denial of the alleged electoral fraud hurled against me, I am submitting my resignation as a duly elected Senator of the Republic of the Philippines in the election for which I am falsely accused without mercy and compassion,” Zubiri said in a privilege speech.

“I am resigning, not because I am exhausted from the demands of my calling as a legislator. Hindi po ako napagod sa paglilingkod sa inyo [I never got tired of being of service to you],” he said.

“I am resigning, not because I wish to evade the decision of the Senate Electoral Tribunal. Handa ko pong tanggapin ang anumang hatol mula sa nasabing hukuman [I am ready to accept any verdict from the said tribubal].”

“Rather, I am resigning because of these unfounded accusations against me and these issues has systematically divided our nation and has casted doubts in our electoral system which has affected not only myself, this Institution but the public as well,” the senator added.

ano na update?

totoo kaya yun rumors na bakla daw yan? lols!

his wife is a congresswoman, right?

[Super Inggo]

Walang dahilan para magbunyi.

Ang lahat ng Ito ay pakana lang ni Gloria Arroyo, para maibaling ang atensyon ng publiko sa isyu sa kanila. Ang tanong ay Kung magkano ang ibinayad ni GMA kay Zubiri.

Sa gobyerno ng Pilipinas, Moro Moro lang yan.

[jedi]

revelation na lang sana para nakakuha pa sya ng sympathy

[Starex_Gold]

Sana ginaya nalang niya si Angie nagpakamatay

[piscesboy]

iboboto niyo ba siya sa 2013? sabi sa interview ni jessica soho kanina sa SONA e tatakbo daw ulit siya?

[br733]

this was a clever move.

for all it was worth, at least he had the decency to give up his position.

and he just might win handily in the next senatorial elections.

"Politician with delicadeza" is oxymoronic. There is no such animal. All this honor and delicadeza drama of Migs is just plain bullcrap! He just made a shrewd and calculated move to save his political skin. He knows this election cheating expose is snowballing and spilling like a can of worms. If he hangs on till the end, he will be perceived as one of the perpetrators and will ruin his chances for 2013. He did say that it's very possible that there was cheating but he had no hand in it. Ngayon 'martyr' pa ang dating nya. Smart move Migs bugt please lessen the 'delicadeza' and 'honor' BS for it simply just won't wash with thinking Filipinos.
