00:59so that it can be studied well.

01:01They believe that this kind of event is not unusual

01:04and that it is just part of the process of passing a law.

01:08Congresswoman Roman also said that

01:10President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr. is just a witness

01:13and that he is really listening to the voices of the people.

01:16That's why he is trying his best with the proposed budget.

01:19According to Senate President Francis Escudero,

01:22this is also part of the legislative process

01:25and system of checks and balances in the Constitution.

01:28For the Senate Committee on Finance Chair Grace Poe,

01:31this is also a sign of a healthy democracy

01:34and they support the President's decision.

01:37Poe is also confident that the economic managers of the President

01:41are giving their approval, especially the most important law, the national budget.

01:45Angelic, for now, the hearings here in the Chamber

01:50about the various important issues,

01:53the House Kintakamit Committee,

01:55or the Cheap Food Supercommittee,

01:57the hearings are ongoing now,

01:59and one of what they are discussing is the budget

02:01of the National Irrigation Administration

02:04and the projects of the government

02:06so that the country can have cheaper rice and other food.

02:10Angelic?

02:11Yes, Mela?

02:12Are the congressmen confident

02:14that we will not have a so-called re-enacted budget

02:19even if the budget signing on Friday does not take place?

02:26Angelic, earlier in the press conference here in the Chamber,

02:29this is also one of the questions asked.

02:31The congressmen don't want to be the first to know what will happen

02:34but they are confident and they trust the President's wisdom

02:40and they are really confident that these steps of Malacanang

02:45are for the good of everyone

02:47and this will be the direction of the government's programs.

02:51For now, Angelic, the congressmen are also waiting for updates from Malacanang

02:57but they are confident that the programs and projects of the government

03:01will continue under the leadership of the President.

03:05Angelic?
