In a post, Heart Evangelista expresses she’s proud of her husband, Chiz Escudero.
Actress-socialite Heart Evangelista is proud of her husband, Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero, as he was re-elected as Senate President.
Senator Chiz Escudero won as Senate President again with 19 votes, for the 20th Congress. Returning veteran Senator Tito Sotto challenged him but got five votes. The five votes came from senators Ping Lacson, Loren Legarda, Migz Zubiri, Risa Hontiveros, and Escudero.
The 19 senators who voted for Escudero are the following:
- Senator Joel Villanueva
- Senator Sherwin Gatchalian
- Senator JV Ejercito
- Senator Jinggoy Estrada
- Senator Alan Peter Cayetano
- Senator Pia Cayetano
- Senator Bong Go
- Senator Ronald dela Rosa
- Senator Lito Lapid
- Senator Robin Padilla
- Senator Imee Marcos
- Senator Mark Villar
- Senator Camille Villar
- Senator Rodante Marcoleta
- Senator Raffy Tulfo
- Senator Erwin Tulfo
- Senator Bam Aquino
- Senator Kiko Pangilinan
On Instagram, Escudero’s wife, Heart Evangelista, felt proud as her husband remained Senate president. Through a post, she shared some snaps taken from when they attended the fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
“President of the Senate [Chiz Escudero]. Proud of you,” Evangelista wrote in the caption. Escudero’s children, Quino and Chesi, were also in attendance at the event and witnessed his oath-taking as he retained being Senate chief.
“The direction we will take will never be determined by a single hand, much less my hand, but by 24 heads — each with a mandate, each with a mind, each with a voice that matters,” Escudero said after his re-election.
Senator Jinggoy Estrada, on the other hand, was chosen as Senate President Pro Tempore, while Senator Joel Villanueva was appointed as the chair of the Committee on Rules and thus assumes the role of Majority Leader. Renato Bantug Jr. continues to serve as Senate Secretary, and retired police Major General Mao Aplasca remains the Sergeant-at-Arms.
