00:00 If some senators will ask about the charter change, it's not a priority because there are many other bills that should be submitted to Congress.
00:08 Daniel Manalastas for the report.
00:10 There are various reactions to the senators' proposal to submit the charter change.
00:18 After submitting it, some lawmakers in the lower house of Congress, some senators, will open the discussion.
00:25 The charter should always be discussed, especially if we have proper motivations.
00:35 We advocate for federalism.
00:37 So when it says "review the Constitution", I'm open to that. But federalism, not the other agenda.
00:44 However, some lawmakers are against the charter change.
00:49 My agenda is to open land ownership, allow foreigners to own land in the Philippines,
00:58 open business, even natural resources, and allow exploitation.
01:06 Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva said that the time and process should be considered.
01:14 We're always open to anything. Maybe again, whoever will push for the extension of their term, which is a valid point.
01:28 It needs to be more circumspect of the time.
01:32 Senator JV Ejercito said that if it's only economic provision, it's possible. But if it's political provision...
01:40 If it's political, I don't think people will like that.
01:46 It's a Senate issue.
01:49 While for Senator Amy Marcos...
01:52 PBBM said that there's no time because we should focus on the livelihood of the people,
01:58 reduce the price of rice and buy more.
02:02 Senator Jesus Cudero said that there's no perfect or imperfect time to review the Constitution.
02:09 But the process of amendment and the provision that will be changed should be answered.
02:15 Daniel Manalastas for the Morning Show Nong Bayan, Rise and Shine, Philippines.
