SEN. Aquilino 'Koko' Pimentel 3rd, who intends to join the opposition bloc in the incoming 19th Congress, said the minority group will not allow the Senate to become a 'rubber stamp' of the incoming administration.

The senator made the remark when asked to comment on concerns about the Senate's inclination since it was only opposition reelectionist Sen. Ana Theresia 'Risa' Hontiveros who made it in the 2022 national polls.
