Marcos open to special session amid Senate deadlock, says Palace

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is reportedly open to calling a special legislative session if there's a formal request backed by valid reasons, according to Palace Press Officer Claire Castro. This move comes as Senate President Pro Tempore Sherwin Gatchalian suggests holding a special session to address pending bills and appointments, amid a deadlock in the Senate. This potential session could be crucial for addressing legislative backlogs and could signal a shift in how the government handles legislative processes, highlighting the administration's flexibility in navigating current political hurdles.
