The Commission on Appointments (CA) members for the 20th Congress took their oath and elected officers during their first plenary session on August 26, 2025. Senate President Francis “Chiz” Escudero, the CA chairperson, administered the oath to 24 members from both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Key officers elected include Rep. Ramon Guico Jr. as Vice Chairperson, Rep. Jurdin Jesus Romualdo as Majority Floor Leader, and Sen. Risa Hontiveros as Minority Floor Leader. Despite inclement weather and a government work suspension, the CA was constituted within the 30-day constitutional deadline. The CA holds the crucial role of confirming or rejecting presidential appointees such as department heads, ambassadors, and senior military officers.
