01:28 Some senators are bothered why the People's Initiative direction or scheme is still ongoing.
01:38 Even though there was already an agreement between the leadership of both houses.
01:44 The Senate will pass again the Constitutional Amendment on Economic Provisions and it will be adopted by the House.
01:51 According to Senator JV Hercito, the leader of the House should stop the signing of the People's Initiative.
01:59 If both houses do not agree and we have a constitutional crisis, we will have a deadlock.
02:07 Maybe no one will pass the bill.
02:10 The Senate also received complaints of "payment of what" in exchange for the signature.
02:14 We have gotten thousands of complaints, pictures, etc.
02:21 Pinpointing the people who approached them to sign, they cannot get assistance if they cannot sign.
02:29 Ninety percent, I repeat, ninety percent of the complaints are directed to the staff of the congressmen.
02:36 When President Marco visited the launch of the lung transplant program in the Lung Center of the Philippines, he was asked about the issue of what to pay for the signature.
02:46 We just have to let Comelec do their job, do their work, and to validate the signatures.
02:53 If there is a suspicion that there is such a thing, those signatures cannot be counted.
03:00 House Speaker Martin Romualdez is ready to condemn any allegation of the government to breach the signature for the P.I.
03:07 The House also does not endorse the direct participation of its members in the breach of the signature.
03:13 Romualdez added that the resolution of both Houses 6 that was passed by Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri
03:19 shows the unity for the reform of the Constitution.
03:22 But as Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva said earlier,
03:26 Is this a way to trust the House to the leaders behind the P.I.?
03:31 It's obviously the main reason why a lot of the Senators are not interested anymore in pushing for the joint resolution.
03:41 House Majority Leader Manix Dalipe was dismayed by Villanueva's statement.
03:46 These statements are based on allegations that the P.I. was involved in the breach of the signature,
03:56 and they are raising doubts on the help for the Constitutional Reform.
03:59 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Mav Gonzalez, your witness.
