Jimbo wanted to replace aranda . Aranda is going nowhere . <| sep |> The senator who would go on to win the Senate Presidency was none other than the late Presidentdictator Ferdinand Marcos . Here ' s another article 1 p . htm that spells out another detail as to why Senator Lim was cemented in doing what he did . A quote On the eve of the election for Senate President , Marcos made a friendly visit to the Zamboangueo senator . Marcos knew that the Government Service Insurance System was foreclosing the mortgage on Lim ' s house such were the senators of that time , they could not even afford to keep up with the amortization on their loans . In elegant statesman ' s language , Marcos offered to pay the loan and in equally elegant statesman ' s language , Lim refused . But after Marcos left , he let out a string of invectives in unelegant Spanish . I was a witness to that visit , Lim ' s daughter , Rosamy , told the Inquirer . Daddy was mad . I think it was at that moment that he decided to do what he had to do .
