00:00Good morning, USEC. May we get the position of the palace on moves by some members of Congress to lower the minimum age requirement for President from 40 to 35 and for Senators from 35 to 30?

00:13Kung ano man po ang kanilang ninanais na gawing batas, mas mainam po talaga kung ano man po ang detalye ay maipakita sa Pangulo bago po magkaroon ng reaksyon.

00:23Hindi po natin masasabi kung ito'y positibo o negatibo hanggat hindi po nakikita ng Pangulo kung ano man yung detalye dito.

00:29But as to the method, ang pinupush po nila ay Constitutional Convention.

00:34At trabaho na po nila yan, tignan po na rin. Muli, tignan natin kung ano po ang magiging detali nito para sang-ayunan to o hindi sang-ayunan ng Pangulo.
