00:00 Senate President Mig Zubiri files his own proposal to amend certain economic provisions of the Constitution, with Senators Sonny Angara and Lauren Legarda as co-authors.
00:10 Zubiri had opposed moves for CHA-CHA last year during his first year as Senate leader.
00:15 This fresh push for charter change comes after his meeting with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and House Speaker Martin Lumbaldes earlier in June.
00:23 Zubiri says the president wants the House to adopt the upper chamber's CHA-CHA version to rule out any amendments outside the economic provisions.
00:31 Zubiri's resolution needs 18 votes from senators.
00:34 His colleagues have different stances on CHA-CHA, with Senator Nancy Binay saying she is in favor of CHA-CHA, but it should strictly focus on economic provisions.
00:43 Meantime, presidential sister Senator Amy Marcos is not in favor of it.
