00:00 From rice to cash, it's a replacement for the signature of some of our countrymen for the charter change.

00:06 Some lawmakers also released an advertisement that the Constitution is being changed.

00:13 First news, Jonathan Andal.

00:15 The Constitution's richest man, businessman and businessman, the farmer Ed Sapuera.

00:25 The unfairness of the 1987 Constitution is right.

00:30 Making unfair the unfair law.

00:34 Last night, this advertisement was released on TV stations

00:38 that the Constitution is being changed.

00:41 In the ad itself, it was stated that it was a paid advertisement of Gana andienza avisado law offices.

00:47 We interviewed the law firm that said that behind this,

00:51 their client is a group called PIRMA or People's Initiative for Modernization and Reform Action.

00:56 This is also the group that promoted the change of the Constitution since President Fidel Ramos' time.

01:02 This move is just to invite public discussion.

01:04 We just want people to be involved, to be informed.

01:08 This is also an information campaign.

01:10 But now, some lawmakers are getting involved.

01:13 Representative Franz Castro wants to know who funded the so-called TV ad.

01:18 If it came from the public or money from the public interest.

01:22 The group said,

01:23 No public funds were used here.

01:25 All of this came from private sectors that are pushing for the change of our Constitution.

01:34 Congressman Edsel Lagman also accused the use of the word "Ed Sapuera" in the TV ad.

01:38 It was a way of the Marcos family to destroy the Edsa People Power Revolution

01:43 that became a way to violate the current 1987 Constitution.

01:47 GMA Integrated News is also trying to get the attention of the Marcos family and their concerns about this.

01:53 The next step in the plan of the PIRMA group for the Charter Change, or CHACHA,

01:57 is to promote the People's Initiative.

01:59 Under this, the people can already plan the changes in the Constitution

02:03 if the PIRMA of 12% of voters in the country can be spread.

02:08 In the middle of this, there are people who are asking for signatures of petitions in the barangays.

02:12 We are confirming who is behind this.

02:15 We were able to get a video of a woman who is asking for signatures of petitions.

02:21 What is the purpose of the signature campaign?

02:24 It is for the amendment or change of the 1987 Constitution.

02:31 If this is to be changed, the law will be made and the petition will be fulfilled.

02:36 If you will sign here,

02:39 there is a petition from our beloved Congressman.

02:42 We will be given AICs.

02:45 [Cheering]

02:48 The video came from the Quezon City Urban Poor Coordinating Council,

02:52 which was recorded in the barangay Old Capitol site this Saturday.

02:55 The people of the Old Capitol site mentioned that the AICs will be paid out this February.

03:02 They said it will be P2,000.

03:04 I went to the barangay and talked to some residents who signed the petition of the Charter Change.

03:10 We will sign it.

03:12 Of course, it is a donation.

03:14 We don't have money to buy rice.

03:15 But the Charter Change was explained.

03:17 What kind of explanation was there?

03:19 There was no explanation.

03:21 If we knew that there was an explanation, we would not have signed it.

03:26 It was not explained.

03:28 What it is.

03:30 It was just a signature.

03:33 I put my name there and I just signed it.

03:36 Then I got my present number.

03:39 But some of them did not sign it.

03:43 I am not aware of what they want to happen.

03:48 I want to explain it properly before I sign it.

03:53 According to the group Bayan Muna in Silanga, San Mateo, Rizal,

03:57 they were given 5 kilos of rice in exchange for the signature of the Charter Change.

04:01 In Bicol, the amount of 100 pesos was included in each signature,

04:05 according to Albay Representative Edsel Lagman.

04:08 Even in Davao City, the amount of signature was included in each signature.

04:12 Congressman Paulo Duterte reminded the Davao residents

04:15 not to sell their souls for 100 pesos or 10,000 pesos in exchange for the signature.

04:21 Nevertheless, the Davao residents still have a choice

04:23 if they want to follow the "minions" of a person who dreams of being successful in Congress.

04:29 Senator Amy Marcos, the President's sister, was angry

04:32 when she found out that the aid was being used to circulate the signature of the Charter Change.

04:36 What nonsense is this?

04:38 It's obvious that they are using the DSWD, AICS,

04:44 there is Tupadpa, and there is MAIP, the DOH.

04:48 We are just surprised that we are selling our Constitution

04:52 for a low amount of 100 pesos.

04:56 Senator Amy made a resolution to investigate this.

05:00 We asked for the permission of the DSWD.

05:02 The DOH said that it is already investigating this.

05:06 This is the first news.
