Transcript
00:00 Some students of UP Diliman ran in a huff and puff as a lesson in the Charter Change.
00:06 Some senators also questioned the form issued by the Comelec
00:10 for those who want to return their signatures to the People's Initiative.
00:14 Sandra Aguinaldo has the report.
00:16 In the dance of huffing and puffing,
00:21 some adults went through their lessons in the Charter Change and People's Initiative.
00:27 That's the oblation run of Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity in UP Diliman.
00:31 We chose to write to the people not to sign the People's Initiative because it's not for us.
00:39 The Comelec said, if you are one of the signatories of the People's Initiative,
00:43 but you want to return it, there's a way.
00:46 Just answer the signature withdrawal form that you can get from the local Comelec offices.
00:51 We're just recording it first.
00:53 Why do you say that you're recording it first and there's no action yet to be taken?
00:57 Because of the Republic Act 6735 and the implementing rules included in it, Resolution 10650, we are reviewing it.
01:05 But Senator I.M. Marcos asked why the reason for the signature withdrawal is still being asked in the form.
01:12 Even though it's in the form, it's not forced to give a reason.
01:16 According to the Comelec, the Resolution 10650 remains suspended
01:22 or the rules that guide the implementation of the People's Initiative.
01:26 That's why it's not being asked for now.
01:30 But even though any process related to the People's Initiative is suspended,
01:35 the group of signatures is still continuing in the search for the signatures.
01:39 We already have almost 9 million signatures.
01:43 We will reach more or less 20 million signatures so they can see that the people are really supporting our signature and our People's Initiative.
02:00 They think that in the withdrawal form issued by the Comelec...
02:03 We are not affected by that because as of the other day, we already gathered 19% of total signatures nationwide.
02:16 Albaim Representative Joey Salceda is hoping that the discussion on the Chacha will be focused on the merits
02:24 while ACT Teachers Party List Representative Franz Castro will be the one to monitor the Chacha.
02:31 Sandra Aguinaldo is reporting for GMA Integrated News.
