00:19 that the government is now supporting the investigation of the International Criminal Court

00:24 regarding the war on drugs that was passed by the administration of the former President Rodrigo Duterte.

00:29 In an interview, Senator Bato de la Rosa was asked why this year there is an issue

00:35 between House Speaker Martin Romaldes and Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:40 "It's the House's sense. That's what other progressives are trying to say.

00:46 We will have the right time in the hearings where the arguments for and against will be released."

00:54 Added to that is House Deputy Minority Leader Franz Castro, who is not talking about the resolutions in the ICC

01:01 during the administration. That's why it's just right that we talk about this now.

01:06 "We are not using this in our part of the country against Duterte.

01:12 Our resolution is to give justice. Our resolution is to investigate the ICC here."

01:24 The House Committee on Ways and Means condemned the proposal that is now supporting the regulation of the

01:30 "Paluwagan" system in the country or a way of saving our fellow countrymen

01:35 through the co-operation of the services or monthly savings of a group.

01:40 Mr. Chair, the main intent of regulating the "Paluwagan" is to ensure protection for those who are subscribing

01:50 to this system because there are instances wherein a lot of those who engage in 5-6 are victimized.

01:59 So it's really also making sure that by regulating them, we're also able to monitor the activities

02:07 and also protect them from scams and scrupulous individuals.

02:11 Mr. Chair, I know that the 5-6 system is different. It's not really the "Paluwagan" system.

02:19 The "Paluwagan" system is usually about friendship, being together, they have full trust in each other, something like that.

02:28 At the same time, the OTOP or One Town, One Product Philippines Initiative was also passed into law

02:35 wherein various Filipino products can be found that can be purchased at affordable prices.

02:41 Today's event celebrates the immediate passage of Republic Act 11960, otherwise known as the OTOP Philippines Act.

02:51 A day of triumph for the engines of our economic vitality, the micro, small and medium enterprises.

02:59 In the continuation of the House Plan Recession, the other important amendments to the law were also discussed in the Chamber.
