00:00 When the time came that we were facing, our grandfathers said,

00:09 "What should we do with our country?

00:14 Can we just have barangay? Or should we be united?"

00:20 We said different things.

00:25 It was agreed by the Filipinos then, of all walks of life,

00:33 the Ilocanos, Cebuanos, Tagamindanao,

00:38 they agreed to form a constitution.

00:47 You know, that constitution is like a home for people.

00:57 There's a post office.

01:01 We said, "Let's make a nice office where we can meet and talk about the destiny of this country."

01:14 There, they agreed that there would be big houses, big posts,

01:23 and there would be furniture and rooms, living rooms and all.

01:29 The discussion from time to time,

01:35 the country grew and we added offices to the officials.

01:43 It was a nice place. It was a home.

01:47 There were tables, desks, chairs, and everything.

01:56 We did not discuss destroying that house.

02:06 It was intended for posterity and the constitution was passed to us.

02:15 Although it was amended and modified,

02:19 but it is still the fundamental law since 1935 until now.

02:25 And what keeps the Ilocanos happy, happy, and happy?

02:31 Why are we alone?

02:34 Our language is different, our eating habits are different, our manners are different.

02:41 Why are we here now?

02:45 Because of one house.

02:50 That house is the role of the constitution.

02:57 Now, the constitution is supposed to be a permanent thing.

03:06 The law that the constitution was given to the Congress and lawmakers,

03:14 they can make laws every day, modify, change it if they want, every week.

03:22 That's okay. Don't care about the constitution because that's the official house of the Filipinos.

03:32 Why did the People's Initiative enter your mind?

03:42 What did you eat?

03:48 There's nothing wrong with the constitution right now.

03:53 The environment in the Philippines seems to be positive, okay.

04:00 There's no problem.

04:03 We meet every day.

04:06 I go to Manila, I have many friends, my brothers, my classmates.

04:11 Our life is okay.

04:14 But suddenly, the People's Initiative came.

04:20 You know, from the beginning, I was already doubting.

04:26 Why?

04:28 The People's Initiative should come from the people.

04:33 It should come from the people.

04:37 And from the barangay, and from the DILG, they should pass it to the city, province, and national office.

04:48 Here, congressmen,

04:52 you know,

04:58 if this life is going to be a mess,

05:05 I'll tell the military, destroy the congress.

05:09 We spend, we pay, we go to the room,

05:19 seeking payment for the People's Initiative.

05:24 So, what is the motivation?

05:27 Did the people's heart come from the people who signed it?

05:31 It's not the petition that we signed here,

05:37 that there's a change in the constitution.

05:46 It's just a signature, and money.

05:51 What kind of f*ck*ng mother is that?

05:57 Is that what you think of the Filipinos?

06:01 If that's the case, let's separate.

06:06 You, from Loson, go to Mindanao,

06:13 let's declare independence separately.

06:19 Why?

06:22 Because you're polluting our country.

06:27 I became president, I became mayor, I became congressman.

06:35 What I'm telling you,

06:38 f*ck*ng mother.

06:41 This is clean, right?

06:50 You might pee on this.

06:52 This is really a mess.

07:01 What do you expect the national government,

07:12 particularly the Malacanian,

07:15 what is your response?

07:20 You left the seminars, you did that.

07:26 You never educated the Filipino people.

07:31 You want the Filipino to remain ignorant

07:36 so you can do what you want with the country.

07:41 That's the truth.

07:44 Because you're f*cking around so the people don't know.

07:51 Well, we studied, and we know, but

07:59 what you're doing is unacceptable.

08:04 From the start, you're buying the Filipino's signature.

08:11 Is that the people's initiative?

08:14 You know, national, provincial, city, municipal, then the barangay.

08:26 That's the excellence of the government's power.

08:33 You're not using the barangay

08:38 and you gave 20 million pesos to each of their congressmen.

08:45 And you're buying the Filipino.

08:49 You know what that is?

08:51 You're buying the people's souls.

08:58 F*ck*ng...

09:00 I can't accept that.

09:04 I studied, but I'm not ignorant.

09:08 Why are you buying people's chains?

09:11 This is your problem.

09:15 First, the Filipinos are unlucky.

09:21 Every president, almost all,

09:27 when he sits in his office,

09:31 does nothing but think about how to extend his term.

09:40 That's the problem.

09:42 Why are you like that?
