00:00Senator Aimee Marcos claims members of the minority bloc are quietly supporting moves to revise the Constitution.
00:07But the minority bloc dismisses the presentation as a conspiracy theory video.
00:12In her privileged speech, Marcos plays a video insinuating Senator Tito Soto's bloc wants to extend the terms of incumbent
00:18officials,
00:19postpone the 2028 national elections, and increase the number of senators by creating a regionalized Senate.
00:38She also alleges there were proposals to raise the minimum age requirement for presidential candidates to 50
00:44to block Sara Duterte from running for president.
00:47Senator Meek Zubiri moves to strike Marcos' presentation from the record.
00:51Zubiri calls it a horrible propaganda video.
00:54Because we are a circus, because this type of language that we are pushing in this August chamber, it's unparliamentary.
01:03Soto, accused of colluding with congressmen to push cha-cha, denies the allegations.
01:08Not charter change. Ang kailangan natin, cha-cha, character change. That is what we need.
01:16He says if the Senate is actually going to amend the Constitution, then Soto will only agree to lower the
01:22age limit of senatorial and presidential candidates to 30 and 35, respectively.
01:26Senator Kiko Pangilinan, who served as the chairperson of the Senate Constitutional Amendments Committee, denies any push for charter change
01:33during his watch.
01:34And the records will speak for itself. Sabi nga nila, we should seek the truth from the facts, and not
01:40from disinformation video propaganda.
01:44Senator Rafi Tulfo also pushes back. He calls it an opinionated, made-up piece fueled by conspiracy theories rather than
01:51hard evidence.
01:52First time na ako nakikita ng Hao Xiao presentation kanina. But before that, let me tell you this. Sana huwag
02:01natin gamitin yung plenary para sa mga conspiracy theories natin.
