00:00 Meanwhile, the target of the new chamber is the charter change in 2024. According to House Speaker Martin Romualdez,
00:07 the administration's priority bills were completed in 2023. So next year, they will amend the constitution of their attention.
00:17 That's what Mela Lez-Moraz wrote.
00:21 The new constitution for the new Philippines is the plan of the new chamber for the new year. According to House Speaker Martin Romualdez,
00:29 the session break this holiday season is coming. This is their study for next year, they can start their steps in amending the constitution,
00:39 particularly in its economic provisions.
00:42 We have done all or accomplished all our priority legislation. I believe 2024 will allow us again to revisit the whole issue.
00:51 We'll be studying this over the break and perhaps there might be some initiatives even during the break that will prepare us for the ensuing year.
00:59 And perhaps what could be our legacy in the 19th Congress is to review and revisit the 87th Constitution and make it more attuned and sensitive and responsive to the times.
01:13 One of the pioneers in supporting the charter change in the chamber back then was House Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Don Gonzales Jr.
01:22 And according to Speaker Romualdez, he expects that this will be a quick discussion. But will this be able to handle the low level of Congress even without the support of the Senate?
01:33 It depends. It depends. If we will use the P.I., People's Initiative, then it will be here.
01:41 I think our senators will cooperate with the Senate.
01:49 Before the "cha-cha" any day this December, President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr. is also expected to add the proposed 2024 national budget of the Congress.
02:00 According to Speaker Romualdez,
02:02 We have made sure on the part of the House that this budget would be one that would be fighting inflation because it's increasing.
02:13 And it would be very, very much pro-poor. We are very, very much focused on the social service and the social welfare programs.
02:23 We really wanted to focus on the food, work, health, education and housing of Filipinos.
02:30 Although the authorities insisted on the issues in the West Philippine Sea, the lawmakers also approved a large fund for the next year.
02:40 Also included in the budget are, well, support for our protection of our territory in the West Philippine Sea.
02:50 So, Pagasa Island will be fortified. The airport, airship will be further expanded and the facilities thereon.
