00:00 Meanwhile, today, the resolution of some congressmen will be held as a show of support to House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
00:07 The Senate will also hear the resolution of both Houses 6 this Monday,
00:12 which will be a long-term amendment of some provisions in the Constitutional Law.
00:15 Here is the news, Ma'am Gonzales.
00:17 The Senate also heard the resolution of both Houses 6,
00:24 which will be a long-term amendment of the economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution,
00:28 particularly the foreign ownership restriction on public utilities, advertising, and education.
00:35 These industries have a great potential in foreign investment,
00:40 but let's see how to put a safeguard.
00:42 We are just watching the state-owned, because it can be influenced by the government of other countries.
00:48 House Deputy Speaker Quezon Representative J.J. Suarez said
00:52 they believe President Mig Zubiri's promise to the President that he will approve the RBH 6
00:59 before the Holy Week break of the Congress in March.
01:02 At the same time, the Senate also heard the resolution of some congressmen
01:05 that will be a show of support to House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
01:10 The resolution also called for the strengthening of the integrity and reputation of the House
01:14 amid the alleged intense assault of the Senate against the Inter-Parliamentary Courtesy.
01:19 According to Senior Citizens Party's Representative Rodolfo Ordanez,
01:23 they signed a manifesto as a show of support to Romualdez.
01:26 Isn't this manifesto a loyalty check?
01:31 It counts how many supporters you still have for the Speaker?
01:34 Maybe it can be like that because we signed a manifesto as a show of support.
01:41 All of these are part of the investigation by the Senate
01:45 to pay and to sign the People's Initiative for the amendment of the Constitution
01:51 that is being led by congressmen.
01:54 Senator Aimee Marcos said that they are looking for evidence for the case of giving in the People's Initiative.
02:02 A group of congressmen from Bicol is now here.
02:06 Camarines Sur Second District Representative Elrey Villafuerte said
02:10 that the Congress' bicameral setup is against the investigation of an inmate,
02:15 the members of the other inmates, especially if there's nothing to investigate.
02:20 Senator Wynne Gachalian said that it's up to the Camera if they want to express their support to the Speaker.
02:26 But when it comes to the Senate's knowledge of their situation...
02:29 This is our job.
02:32 If there are payments that are happening in exchange for signatures, if there are corruption that are happening in obtaining signatures,
02:42 it should be investigated. And that is inter-parliamentary courtesy.
02:46 Gachalian added that the Senate and the Camera really started with the People's Initiative.
02:51 This is the first news. Mav Gonzales for GMA Integrated News.
