The Supreme Court of the Philippines ruled on a petition seeking to oust Senator Teofisto Guingona Jr. as minority leader of the Senate. The Court found that it had jurisdiction to rule on the petition as it involved the interpretation of the Constitution regarding the election of legislative leaders. However, the Court ultimately ruled against the petition, finding no legal or constitutional issues with Senator Guingona's recognition as minority leader by the Senate President. The Court held that determining the minority leader was an internal matter for the legislature to decide, and no abuse of discretion or violation of law had been shown in the Senate's actions.
