Prospero Nograles is the New House Speaker

Davao City Representative Prospero Nograles is now the new House Speaker of the Philippines. Prospero Nograles has been elected as the new speaker of the House of Representatives early Tuesday morning after Jose de Venecia has been ousted.

Nograles was nominated on the floor by de Venecia as his replacement. Cebu City Representative Antonio Cuenco on the other hand immediately closed the nomination for speaker, prompting Majority Leader Arthur Defensor to declare as “unanimous” the election of Nograles as speaker of the 240-member House.
