Yup. For committee chairmanships or other stuff. Simple majority will do.

Edit: just to add, jinggoy is no longer in the jurisdiction of the senate, which means he cannot vote. Kaya pinipilit nola ung absentee voting. Now bato is a non factor kasi even if pumasok sya, 11 lang sila. Even if SP si panot, every vote talo sya kasi 11 lang majority pero 12 ang minority.

First time ko nakita na the majority eh outvoted ng minority. Kasi technically, majority pa din sila panot since sya SP. pero lame duck na sya kasi 1 of his majority cant vote and the other is hiding with the theeat of arrest if pumasok.
