00:00What are things you hear po sa Senado?
00:31I am requesting Sen. Gachalian, a Sen. President, to give us the opportunity to be heard by any Sen. committee
00:38or even during the plenary so that we could also extend our side.
00:43Hindi lamang ako kundi yung mga iba pa mga stakeholders, yung mga against the postponement of the barangay elections. Ito
00:51wala ito sa rules ng Sen. This is a desperate remedy. But kailangan-kailangan lamang mariming kami kasi very urgent
00:59ito dahil sa for deliberation ng Sen. committee itong mga proposal to postpon the barangay election.
01:08And I am also requesting Sen. President, Gachalian, that in the event na hindi ito allowed under the rules of
01:16the Sen. I am also requesting na sana magkaroon ng suspension of the rules of the Sen. para mabigyan kami
01:22ng pagkakakaw, marinig ang panig namin na kami ay against the postponement of the barangay election dahil sa yan ay
01:28isang malaking paglabag sa aming karapatang pumili ng sarili naming mga leaders.
01:33Sabagkat yung sinasabi lang to fix the term to five years ay kapi-fix lang last year to four years.
01:39Hindi pa nga nagagamit yung four years na nag-fix nila. Ngayon, they are going to fix again to five
01:46years.
01:46Siguro naman ay malaking paglabagyan sa karapatan namin kasi talaga namang kailangan mamili kami on our own by our own
01:54of our own leaders.
01:55Saka yung nilang naging nila sa mga post-formal nila ay magkakaroon naman mag-holdover under the proposed measures, yung
02:02mga incumbent barangay officials, holdover na naman. Holdover is tantamount to legislative appointment.
02:09And that is a violation of the constitutional provision that barangay officials should be elected and should not be appointed.
02:15Yun lang, madalaman nila.
02:18Yun lang, madalaman nila.
