Gregorio Honasan, leader of several failed coup attempts against the Aquino administration and aide to Enrile in 1986, who swore in Enrile as the new Senate president.Enrile, 84, enforcer of martial law during the Marcos regime as defense minister, is a staunch ally of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.Manuel Villar Jr. lost his grip on power in the Senate after a majority of his colleagues, including his erstwhile allies like Senate Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada, unseated him.Among those who supported Villars ouster were senators, who are expected to either run for president or vice president, like Manuel Mar Roxas II, Loren Legarda and Francis Escudero.Villar, head of the Nacionalista Party, formally declared his intention to run for president in 2010 a few months ago, the first made by a presidential aspirant.
