Press Release Sotto more than satisfied with Senate performance Senate President Vicente Sotto III said he was more than satisfied with the performance of the Senate, given the challenges it faced during the year. "Who could ask for more? We tried to tackle as much as we could. There are still some that need our attention but it was important to focus on the passage of the national budget for next year and to extend the validity of Bayanihan 2 and the 2020 national budget beyond their original deadlines," Sotto said. The Senate adjourned its session December 19, 2020 to go on a month-long break for the Christmas holidays and will resume its session on January 18, 2021.
