00:00 House Speaker Martin Rumualdez ordered Congressmen to focus on their work.
00:05 This is in front of the hot discussion of the People's Initiative to amend the Constitution.
00:10 The details are in the report of Rod Laguzan.
00:13 The Senate listened to the resolution on both houses number 6
00:20 or the amendment to the economic provision of the 1987 Constitution.
00:25 On the part of the House of Representatives,
00:26 the House Speaker Martin Rumualdez gave a directive.
00:29 According to House Deputy Majority Leader for Communications Erwin Tulfo,
00:33 Rumualdez wants the issue to stop and everyone should just work.
00:37 We don't want to have a problem where the people are fighting
00:43 and instead of focusing on passing laws, they are focusing on fighting.
00:50 What the Speaker wants, everybody, in the focus of the instruction was just work, work, work.
00:55 We still have three legislative agendas that need to be signed,
01:01 but almost 90 percent, 98 percent, are already done.
01:05 Even though the priority bills of the President need to be passed,
01:08 according to Tulfo, Komelik is ordering the deliberation of the People's Initiative
01:13 and the ball is in the Senate about listening to the resolution and the amendment to the Constitution.
01:18 According to the Speaker of the House,
01:21 the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines issued a statement that everyone should think before passing any petition.
01:29 What the Speaker said was, sure,
01:34 they have to think, we agree, they have to think well.
01:39 If they want divine intervention, they can ask for divine intervention,
01:43 but for now, what else?
01:47 They said Komelik, so it's useless, right?
01:51 At present, the Senate has not yet talked to the RBHC, according to Tulfo.
01:55 The Speaker said that they will wait for the Senate.
01:58 Meanwhile, because of the issue of the Senate,
02:01 it is expected that the resolution of the House of Representatives will be passed on Monday,
02:04 followed by the caucus on Wednesday.
02:06 Number one, defending the integrity,
02:11 the integrity of the institution, this is the House of Representatives.
02:17 And of course, unconditional support to the Speaker, the leader of the House,
02:22 who are being maligned by some sectors,
02:28 including our friends from the Senate.
02:33 He is also giving inter-parliamentary courtesy or mutual respect to both sides.
02:40 Close to 200 congressmen were present,
02:44 and then some have indicated whether they can e-sign it.
02:50 So we expect by Monday,
02:55 close to 300 congressmen will co-author this resolution.
03:02 So there is unanimity in supporting this resolution.
03:07 He did not expect that this would cause tension,
03:10 especially when the camera said that they will wait for the Senate,
03:14 where tutors are needed to pass this on to the Senate
03:17 and tutors in the lower ranks to pass this on to the camera.
