NewsTranscript
00:00 In the petition for the People's Initiative, the Senate and the House of Representatives are jointly voting on the amendment of the Constitution.
00:09 A former member of the People's Initiative said that if this passes, it will be easier to pass the amendment to the Constitution.
00:17 But a former Supreme Court magistrate said that the vote of the Senate and the House of Representatives should remain separate.
00:24 Sandra Aguinaldo is on the spot.
00:28 The debate on the charter change is long, whether the Senate and the House of Representatives will vote separately or jointly.
00:35 The Senate is firm on this because their vote will be divided if more than 300 congressmen are in the Senate while only 24 are in the House of Representatives.
00:46 Attorney Raul Lambino was sometimes the leader in the amendment of the Constitution through the People's Initiative from 2005 to 2006.
00:57 He is already seeing the next step of those behind this.
01:02 If the amendment that the House and Senate are jointly voting on will pass, it will be easier to pass the amendment to the Constitution if the Congress sits as a constituent assembly.
01:17 The strategy is right. The way the Congress will vote will be changed. It will be done jointly. The Congress of the Philippines will sit as a constituent assembly and they will change our Constitution.
01:35 Former Supreme Court Associate Justice Vicente V. Mendoza did not want the supporters of the charter change to be the first.
01:44 But if the Senate and the House of Representatives will vote on the charter change, he believes that the vote should be divided.
01:52 The House and the Senate must meet in a joint session. It means that they will both assemble.
02:03 Number two, if there is a question, the vote should be separated. Two-thirds is required. So you must get two-thirds of the House and two-thirds of the Senate.
02:17 Aside from the signature to the public, the advertisements of the People's Initiative for Reform, Modernization and Action, or PIRMA, that I am discussing in the 1987 Constitution, are also being noticed.
02:30 According to Noel Oñate, national convener of the group, the donations from the private sector are being used for the ads.
02:38 They are looking for PIRMA, but they are not the ones who issued the form on social media.
02:44 But we are the private sector. They are the Congress and the public officials that are elected.
02:52 This is purely a civilian effort composed of private citizens. We are also getting signatures.
03:01 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, for Tutok Tliligay, 24 hours.
