00:00 Congressman Pantaleon Alvarez has already given evidence.
00:04 He said that he will provide assistance in exchange for a signature for the People's Initiative.
00:08 He is pointing out the person behind the initiative, House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
00:14 Tina Panganiban Perez is on the spot.
00:16 This Martin Romualdez, it's just his initiative.
00:24 Despite his earlier objections, House Speaker Martin Romualdez is still being taught by former Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez,
00:33 who is behind the People's Initiative.
00:36 He has already given evidence about the first aid he will provide in exchange for a signature
00:42 that he will use in his petition against the People's Initiative.
00:48 While they are doing the signatures, I am also documenting it so that when the time comes,
00:56 I can file a petition in the Supreme Court.
01:01 Even Senator Coco Pimentel, who is convinced that the Speaker has something to do with the P.I.,
01:07 called on Romualdez's cousin, President Marcos.
01:11 Why would the President allow his administration to be affected by this issue,
01:17 a People's Initiative, which is being used by members of Congress as a mode for the people.
01:26 The President should have nipped this in the bud.
01:28 We are trying to get Romualdez's signature, but he has repeatedly denied ordering the People's Initiative.
01:36 So you didn't give any orders?
01:39 I have no orders.
01:41 Albi First District Representative Edsel Agman is studying how to file a petition against COMELEC.
01:47 He is the one who is being asked to buy the signature.
01:51 In Bohol, Talibon Bishop Patrick Daniel Parcon and Bilaran Bishop Alberto Uy are urging the public not to deceive the P.I. signatories.
02:03 One of the P.I. supporters denied that the Speaker has anything to do with their search for the signature.
02:10 There is no direct involvement of the Speaker.
02:12 As you will recall, he is just allowing this process to go through and let the natural course of it take its course.
02:31 They are also ready to face petitions against the People's Initiative.
02:35 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, Nacatuto, 24 Horas.
