00:00 Some senators are also against the way in which the two members of the Congress voted in favor of the amendment to the Constitution.
00:09 This is what Daniel Manalascas reported.
00:11 The amendment to the economic provisions of the Constitution is now being discussed in the Senate.
00:19 Some lawmakers are still believing that it is too early to come to a conclusion on this issue.
00:24 But it is important to note that the opinions of the speakers are consistent.
00:28 Although there are some who are against it, there are also some who are in favor of it.
00:31 And some senators are believing that the other economic provisions of the Constitution may also be reviewed,
00:38 aside from the provisions on education and public utilities.
00:42 Even if it is not in the proposal, the other economic provisions of the Constitution may also be studied.
00:51 For example, the natural resources.
00:54 We can open up that because renewable energy, wind and sun, can be liberalized so that foreign investors can build renewable energy companies here.
01:09 Hydro power plants, geothermal power plants.
01:13 Despite the statements of some congressmen as to how to vote on the charter change, some senators are arguing that they are not inventing the proposal to separate the votes of congressmen and senators.
01:26 It might not be there in words, but the intention is to vote through a bicameral system.
01:35 That's why the Senate put it.
01:37 We should not make it complicated because if we make it complicated, if we fight against immobility, we will not be able to achieve the amendment of the economic provisions.
01:48 According to Senator Gingoy Estrada, it is reasonable to argue that any amendment to the Constitution requires the two members of Congress to vote separately.
02:01 Because if they vote together...
02:03 If we vote jointly, we will be able to live the life of congressmen.
02:10 Some congressmen argued that there is no provision in the law that requires the two members of Congress to vote separately on the charter change.
02:20 And the Senate should not be hard.
02:22 They are just agreeing with the law.
02:26 According to the legal system, there is no provision, no lack. The President first said that the Senate will be the one to lead on the economic charter change.
02:34 And he also said that the position of the administration on the implementation of reforms in our Constitution is only for the economy, which is far more stable and strong.
