“If he says we stay, we stay!” Sotto said in a tweet, tagging Locsin.

In reply, Locsin thanked Sotto, adding that he was “the only one” who had his back as far as he can remember.

“I go through life with just one friend. Okay, I’m not exactly a people person but neither am I cold and unfriendly, di ba?” Locsin said on Twitter.

The Senate President previously raised the possibility of the Philippines withdrawing as a member of the United Nations.

However, Locsin rejected what the Senate President said. /jpv
