Ilang senador, handang kuwestyonin sa Korte Suprema ang pag-aksyon ng Comelec sa People's Initiative
Transcript
00:00 Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel and other senators are ready to sleep in the Supreme Court
00:06 to question the Comelec until the full body of the People's Initiative was taken action.
00:11 The senator was again questioned if the Comelec is really a mandate and is in violation of the law.
00:17 The Comelec immediately answered the plan of some senators
00:20 to sleep in the Supreme Court after they received signatures from the People's Initiative.
00:25 According to Comelec spokesperson John Rex Laudianco, they are ready to confront and answer the Supreme Court
00:32 if they are being sued for their work.
00:36 They should not accept that because their question to the person who gave it is, "What is this for?"
00:43 "What is this for? Why are you giving this to the election officer?" The answer should be, "To count it."
00:50 "Why are we counting it? What do you want?" "Because we have the People's Initiative."
00:54 "What law says we should count it?" "Your resolution."
00:59 "Why are we issuing a resolution pursuant to law 6735?"
01:05 "That is invalidated by the Supreme Court to support a People's Initiative."
01:11 There is a Comelec resolution, that's Comelec Resolution 10650, which is not new.
01:16 January 31, 2020.
01:18 And that is why we are implementing it because for the past 4 years, it has been promulgated.
01:22 No one has been asked in the Supreme Court, no one has questioned.
01:25 So when the time came that we needed to implement this, we just did our job.
