00:00 In the discussion of the proposed implementation of the charter change, the opinion of the legislators was divided when the discussion was opened.
00:08 Here are some of Daniel Manalasta's remarks.
00:10 There were various reactions from the senators regarding the proposed implementation of the charter change.
00:17 After it was implemented by some legislators in a low-ranking position, some senators opened the discussion.
00:24 The charter should always be discussed, especially if we have proper motivations.
00:34 We advocate for federalism.
00:36 So when it's said "review the constitution", I'm open to that.
00:40 But federalism, not the other agenda.
00:44 However, some speakers are against the amendment.
00:48 My agenda is to open land ownership, allow foreigners to own land in the Philippines,
00:58 open a business, including natural resources, and allow exploitation.
01:05 Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva said that the time and process should be considered.
01:13 We're always open to anything. Maybe again, whoever will push for the amendment of their term, which is a valid point.
01:27 It needs to be more circumspect of the time.
01:31 Senator JV Ejercito said that if it's only economic provision, it's possible.
01:37 But if it's political provision...
01:39 Political provision, I don't think people will like that.
01:45 That's a senator's issue.
01:47 While for Senator Aimee Marcos...
01:51 PBBM said that it's not the right time because we should focus on the livelihood of the people,
01:58 reduce the price of rice and buy more.
02:01 Senator Jesus Cudero said that there's no perfect or imperfect time to review the constitution.
02:08 But the process of amendment and the provision that will be changed should be answered.
02:15 Daniel Manalastas, Para sa Bayan.
