Speaker Arnulfo Fuentebella preempted an impending move to reorganize the chamber and reinstall Las Piñas Rep. Manuel Villar Jr. as new House boss by abruptly adjourning the session.


Fuentebella declared the adjournment after the roll call, which showed that only 88 of the 217 members of the chamber were present, and therefore a quorum was not attained.
