Philippine Senator Manuel Villar Monday announced his resignation as Senate president amid rumors to oust him over alleged scandals.
In a statement at the beginning of Monday's session at the Senate, Villar said his stepping down would allow him to devote more time to the people in the countryside and to his family.
Senator Juan Ponce Enrile was sworn in as the new Senate president. A shake-up in the Senate has also started.
