00:00 Congressmen are now in favor of implementing an economic charter change to continue the Philippine economy.
00:09 Young people also joined a survey on this.
00:13 This is what Mela Las Moras wrote.
00:16 President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr.'s efforts are slowly bearing fruit
00:23 so that foreign direct investments in the country can increase.
00:27 This is what the leader of the House of Representatives said
00:30 following a new assessment by HSBC Global Research.
00:33 In one of their comments, the research firm noted that there is a big change in the entry of FDIs in the Philippines now
00:40 compared to hundreds of decades ago.
00:42 The investment environment in the Philippines is really improving.
00:47 According to House Senior Deputy Speaker Don Gonzales,
00:50 the efforts of the President abroad are a big help in improving the country's economy.
00:57 He also accompanied the signing of new laws.
00:59 That is why he is now seeing foreign investors in the Philippines as potential profitable investment destinations.
01:07 House Deputy Majority Leader Janet Garin also agreed with this.
01:11 Of course, if there is peace and order in our country, investors will enter.
01:17 What is needed is to improve the bureaucracy.
01:21 Because it is very important in the investment environment.
01:25 One-stop shops, quick response to needs,
01:30 and not letting the government agencies sleep.
01:36 These are all big returns for the people.
01:41 In addition, congressmen gave the importance of the economic charter change
01:46 to continue improving the economy of the Philippines.
01:50 Before the Holy Week break, the House approved the resolution of both houses number 7
01:55 that will give way to economic change.
01:57 And what is waiting now is the action of the Senate on this.
02:02 But in a new survey, the majority of Filipinos voted in favor of the amendment of the Constitution.
02:08 This is something that some congressmen also supported.
02:11 What we are talking about is the economic charter change.
02:15 But what is included in that is the proposals of the previous administration
02:20 that is combined with the proposal of the current administration.
02:24 That's one.
02:25 Second, the conclusion that 75% of Filipinos do not want the economic charter change.
02:34 This is wrong because 75% of the questions you asked were not related to the Constitution.
02:41 So how can you answer the question, "Are we going to change this?"
02:48 You don't know what's inside.
02:50 According to House Deputy Speaker J.J. Suarez,
02:54 the questions in the survey were confusing and the direction was different
02:59 compared to the economic charter they are pushing now.
03:02 First, SDS-Gonzalez said that the economic charter is important
03:06 to address the current challenges in the country.
03:09 House Majority Leader Manix Dalipe added,
03:12 "Even though they respect the survey,
03:15 we should not ignore the big issues that the Congress should address."
03:21 Congress will return to session on April 29.
03:24 But if the lawmakers will be able to,
03:27 they will continue to serve and focus on the important issues now.
