Transcript
00:00 More than 100 legislative districts have submitted signature sheets to the Comelec for the People's Initiative
00:05 for the Charter Change.
00:07 But a veteran election lawyer said that the Comelec should stop accepting it.
00:12 According to Romulo Macalintal,
00:14 the signatures cannot be first before the petition related to the People's Initiative.
00:19 According to the Supreme Court's decision,
00:21 the signatures must be read first.
00:25 That's why some people say that the signature sheets are of no importance and cannot be the basis of the People's Initiative.
00:32 The Comelec's answer is that they are following the guidelines and the law.
00:36 The Comelec has no choice at this point.
00:42 Number one, it is our ministerial duty.
00:45 The signatures are invalid until the formal petition is filed.
00:50 We should look at it and it is our obligation to file a petition of the proponent
00:55 to convince the Comelec that our countrymen really understood their signatures.
