Sen. Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III of PDP-Laban affirmed Wednesday that he is the following president of the Senate in the wake of picking up the backing of greater part of his associates.

Incoming Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson prior said Pimentel appreciates the backing of a "super greater part" in his offer for the Senate administration. 

On Wednesday, Senate President Franklin Drilon affirmed that "16 or 17 representatives" from the Liberal Party, Akbayan, Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino and Nationalist People's Coalition are supporting Pimentel as the new Senate President.
