00:00 Some congressmen were ordered by House Speaker Martin Rumualdez to sign the People's Initiative to push for the Charter Change,
00:09 according to Senator Bato De La Rosa.
00:12 Rumualdez denied this.
00:14 Former President Rodrigo Duterte also condemned the "swearing-in" in exchange for the signing of the Charter.
00:21 Ma'am Gonzalez has a report.
00:26 Chacha ni Marcos, ni Masura!
00:30 A protest was held to bring back the session of the Congress.
00:34 The Charter Change is one of the things that House Speaker Martin Rumualdez mentioned in the opening of the session.
00:40 Chacha will help the country to address the most pressing problems of the country.
00:45 It is important to focus on the provisions for the economy and the entry of foreign business.
00:51 That is why it is good to direct the resolution of both Houses No. 6 of Senate President Mig Zubiri.
00:57 This signals a strong sense of unity and purpose.
01:00 The Congress of the Philippines now acting as one body will eventually fulfill the call for a reform, responsible, and result-oriented constitutional framework.
01:11 House Majority Leader Manix Dalipe also hopes that the Senate will approve it as soon as possible
01:18 so that Rumualdez's speculations behind the People's Initiative can be finished.
01:23 But while Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa was walking, congressmen approached him and told him that they were only ordered to sign for the People's Initiative for Chacha.
01:34 According to them, House Speaker Martin Rumualdez ordered them to do so.
01:39 Boss, please be patient. We are just following orders.
01:42 Our speaker has orders. We are just following orders. They said they are just following orders.
01:50 It's hard to blame them. But if it's true, you can really blame them.
01:57 Why? Because you are just following orders. You are also affecting the order.
02:03 De la Rosa also received the information that the claim staff is giving the signatures in Davao City.
02:09 They are giving signatures. They initiated a claim staff for Tupad or AX.
02:17 There are 3,000. There are 100.
02:21 That's Senator Bato talking. I don't know what he's talking about. He has not mentioned any congressman. I don't respond to...
02:32 So you didn't give any orders?
02:34 Former President Rodrigo Duterte condemned the spread of the rumour in Davao City.
02:41 If you start to amend a constitution and you start by buying the signatures of the Filipinos, it's almost how would I term it, repugnant, a disgraceful act.
02:56 I'm not in favor of that. They should stop it.
02:59 Duterte also said that the money given is done to make it easier for the opposition to stay in power.
03:07 A new constitution, if ever, it will just destroy the nation. It will open the floodgates of political abuses and the perpetration of powers.
03:21 Based on the latest findings of the Massa Survey of OCTA Research, the charter change is not considered an urgent national concern of many Filipinos.
