00:00 Meanwhile, more than a week before the Holy Week break,
00:03 the amendment to some economic provisions of the Constitution was approved in the second reading of the Camera.
00:10 Melody Esmora is in Central News Live.
00:14 Angelic, the so-called success of the leader of the Camera,
00:19 now they passed the RBH-7 in the second reading.
00:23 Although there are still some people who are still fighting,
00:25 the congressmen gave their support to the amendment to the Constitution.
00:33 In a press conference here in the Camera a while ago,
00:39 House Deputy Majority Leader Janet Garin said that
00:42 they only approved the resolution of both Houses yesterday,
00:47 in the second reading of the effective service of the Camera.
00:51 Now, more than ever, she needs to amend the Constitution.
00:56 So I hope this opportunity won't be wasted
00:58 and the Senate will pass the RBH-6 for the economic charter change.
01:04 House Deputy Majority Leader for Communications Erwin Tulfo said that
01:08 because the resolution of the Constitution will be passed in the second reading,
01:13 in the end, the people will also pass the resolution.
01:18 Next week, the Camera is expected to pass the RBH-7 in the third and last reading.
01:24 Meanwhile, while discussing the Congress on the economic charter,
01:29 congressmen supported the benefits brought to the Philippines
01:33 by the trip to Germany and the Czech Republic of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
01:37 According to House Speaker Martin Romualdez,
01:40 who is part of the delegation of the President there,
01:43 not only economic opportunities and strengthening of diplomatic ties
01:47 were provided by President Marcos,
01:49 but it also helped in building thousands of jobs for the Filipinos.
01:54 Because of this, congressmen were also excited
01:57 by the statement of former President Rodrigo Duterte
02:00 that the administration is just doing a little bit.
02:03 Tulfo's statement was clear that the President is securing investments.
02:08 While congressmen said that it is also beneficial
02:12 for the well-being of the Philippines' people in other countries.
02:16 While discussing the health, congressman Tulfo also said
02:19 that the benefits of PhilHealth free mammogram and breast ultrasound
02:25 for our countrymen will be provided early, not only in July,
02:28 but it is expected that our countrymen will experience it earlier in the month.
02:33 Actually, just a while ago, there was a press conference
02:37 where House Secretary General Reginald Velasco was absent.
02:40 He was talking about the continuous hacking that House of Representatives websites are experiencing.
02:47 But this is what they are pursuing.
02:50 Aside from that, I will also share the news that Secretary General Velasco said
02:57 that he is ready if Pastor Apollo Condoloye is arrested,
03:01 the detention cell is also ready for him.
03:04 But he is still waiting for the outcome of this discussion,
03:07 especially that House Committee on Legislative Franchises is expected to be hacked
03:12 if it is served because Condoloye's camp has a commitment
03:16 to discuss the response of the committee members
03:21 before the contempt order against the pastor is served.
03:28 Angelic?
03:29 Okay. So Mela, in the third and final reading,
03:32 what will normally happen and what is expected?
03:35 They are saying that this is just a formality.
03:38 Angelic, it's good that you asked.
03:43 In the camera, when the third and final reading is passed,
03:47 it is final and it is finished in the camera.
03:50 But Angelic, we still need to wait and get the version,
03:55 the original version of the Senate, the RBH 6,
03:58 before it is fully approved.
04:00 That is, Angelic, it will pass through Malacanang.
04:03 So what the congressmen are saying is that it cannot be implemented
04:07 if it is only discussed in the camera.
04:09 That is why it needs to be passed through the Senate
04:13 before the resolution is implemented.
04:17 So Angelic, the congressmen are calling for the Senate to approve this resolution
04:25 because it is also for the future of our economy.
04:29 Angelic?
04:30 Okay. Thank you very much Mela Lesmoraz.
