	De Venecia's Reign is Challenged
		De Venecia, the Pangasinan representative who first became Speaker during the Ramos presidency, remains closely associated with the former president, who is also from Pangasinan.

		De Venecia is pushing for a constituent assembly to amend the constitution before 2007 and even reminded Arroyo of her supposed promise to serve as transition president under a parliamentary government.

		De Venecia’s latest advocacy was for the rich Filipinos to donate their millions to help the cash-strapped government.
		De Venecia has another favorite term in problem-solving, which is to go for the jugular, and which he always describes as “ the win-win-formula.” Even in a crisis, according to de Venecia, there should be no losers and no one should go home empty-handed and downcast.
