                    [Summary] => The more challengers there are, the merrier. This aptly describes the fight for the position of House Speaker, currently held by Pangasinan’s Jose de Venecia Jr.


Yesterday, Palawan Rep. Antonio Alvarez, who belongs to the Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (Kampi), said the fight should not be limited to De Venecia and Surigao del Sur Rep. Prospero Pichay Jr., who both belong to the ruling Lakas party.

The proposal was meant to hold House members accountable for absenteeism, which is rampant in the larger chamber of Congress.

In a caucus, Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. and his colleagues agreed that instead of withholding pay and benefits for chronically absent members, their names should be published in national newspapers on a monthly basis starting next month.
