00:00What do your reaction na po kasi may mga kritisism sa anti-political dynasty bin?
00:04May hindi daw talaga ang dahil kundi prove?
00:06Refuge po.
00:08I'm glad you brought that up.
00:09Those concerns are actually very warranted.
00:11And naiintindihan ko naman kung saan nanggagaling yung mga tao.
00:15Ang sa amin lang, and I will explain to you guys the process of how this works.
00:20And actually as majority leader, it is part of my job.
00:23You always have to check what the numbers are for each bill, lalo na kapag led that priority.
00:27Binibilang mo talaga yung mga boto kung gaano kalaki ang suporta ng Kamara.
00:32Now if you look at the numbers of the people that voted for the anti-political dynasty bill, overwhelming majority.
00:41Now the way it works is you consult the party leaders before the vote.
00:49So tatanungin mo sa kanila, ilan ba talaga ang boto ng NUP?
00:52Ilan talaga ang boto ng NP?
00:54Gaano kalaki ang suporta sa NPC?
00:56And it becomes a consultative dialogue between the leadership and the party leaders to check how much support there is
01:04for that said bill.
01:05I am of the opinion, and nakita naman talaga namin, na should you make that bill stricter and more constrictive,
01:16nawawala yung suporta ng lower house.
01:19And you know, again, let's call a spade a spade.
01:22Marami talagang political dynasty dito sa lower house.
01:25You know, I'd be an idiot if I said I wasn't from one either.
01:30Let's be honest with ourselves here.
01:32So it's not...
01:36Hindi naman yan ginawa dahil yan ang gusto namin na ipasa na bill.
01:40Ginawa namin yan because that was the limit as to the support that we could garner from the lower chamber.
01:47Now, like what the other reporter asked, may bicam pa.
01:52I highly doubt that the Senate will adopt the house version.
01:55So may sarili silang debate, may sarili silang provisions, may sarili silang version.
02:00When they pass their version of the anti-political dynasty bill, there will be a bicameral conference,
02:05and then there will be another opportunity to amend whatever provisions the upper house think to be inadequate or not
02:16tenable to the Filipino people.
02:19So to answer your question, it was really a matter of getting it through already, na ipasa natin dito sa
02:26house.
02:26To get the conversation started.
02:28This is not the final result of what the bill will be.
02:31Hindi po ito batas.
02:33This is just the version that we, in the lower house, were able to produce and garner support for.
02:42Because had it been more strict, baka hindi tayo makakabuhan ng boto.
