00:00 Some lawyers have leaked information that House Speaker Martin Romualdez-Umano is behind the signing of the Charter Change.

00:09 We are trying to get Romualdez's consent but he has repeatedly denied ordering the People's Initiative.

00:17 Tina Pangaliban Perez has a report.

00:22 The People's Initiative is not the name of Davao del Norte First District Representative Pantaleon Alvarez in the signature campaign for the Charter Change, but the T.I.

00:34 What is the T.I., sir?

00:36 Tambalus Laws Initiative.

00:38 We know that Martin Romualdez is one of the Tambalus Laws in the Philippines.

00:44 It is just his initiative.

00:46 Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel is convinced that House Speaker Martin Romualdez is involved in the People's Initiative.

00:54 We are getting very uniform and very consistent feedback.

00:59 Who is the supervisor who is moving down?

01:02 Congressmen.

01:04 Who is the one who is bragging that we already got the votes?

01:08 Congressmen.

01:10 And who is the leader of that House?

01:12 My good friend, my classmate, Speaker Martin Romualdez.

01:17 Romualdez has repeatedly denied the allegation.

01:21 Alvarez is looking for evidence to block the T.I. from the Supreme Court.

01:26 He will wait for the signatures he found in the Comelec to be submitted before he will file a petition.

01:32 The Senate said that they will question the T.I. in the SC.

01:36 If I will be accompanied by other senators, I will be more thankful.

01:41 The Senate is studying the options available to us as an institution and to us as individual members of the Senate.

01:50 The Senate can file a case, individual senators can file a case.

01:53 Albay First District Representative Edsel Agman is studying the petition in the Comelec.

02:00 He is condemning the one who repeatedly denied the purchase of the signature.

02:04 The people said that the T.I. should be blocked in the lower courts or in the Comelec.

02:10 One of the supporters of the T.I. is saying that they are not following the right process.

02:16 We expect that there are obstacles, but we are ready because the defect and infirmities in the lambino case,

02:25 we studied it and addressed it.

02:31 Speaker Romualdez has nothing to do with the discovery of the signature.

02:35 But he admitted that he is consulting Albay Second District Representative Joey Salceda about the economic amendments.

02:43 He also denied what Salceda said, that the amount of signature required is already in the middle.

02:48 My data is near to 12 percent. Maybe Congressman Salceda has other data that he's holding.

02:56 So I cannot dispute his figures or numbers.

03:00 Dina Panganiban Perez reporting for GMA Integrated News.
