Erice removed as senior deputy minority leader


After criticizing the House of Representatives’ committee-level passage of the proposed anti-political dynasty law, Caloocan City 2nd District Rep. Edgardo “Egay” Erice was removed as senior deputy minority leader on Tuesday afternoon, 3 March.
The removal came just hours after Erice criticized the committee-level approval of the proposed measure.
His ouster was announced during the plenary session by Minority Leader and 4Ps Party-list Rep. Marcelino “Nonoy” Libanan.
Libanan named Deputy Minority Leader and Mamamayang Liberal Party-list Rep. Leila de Lima as Erice’s replacement for the senior post. No one objected to the motion during plenary.
