00:00 or the arrangement of classrooms for students to have a longer study time
00:06 whenever the weather is hot,
00:08 was suggested by a congressman,
00:10 Simela Desmora, in Setronong Balita Live.
00:14 Angelic retrofitting or the arrangement of classrooms
00:20 is one of the solutions of a congressman
00:24 to make the students' and teachers' lives easier
00:27 now that the weather is too hot.
00:30 In his face-off in Kapihan, Manila Bay today,
00:35 House Committee on Basic Education and Culture Chair Roman Romulo
00:39 promised that the camera is already on,
00:41 as well as the government,
00:43 in order to cover the extreme heat
00:45 that is now happening,
00:47 that is resulting in the cancellation of face-to-face classes
00:50 in different parts of the country.
00:52 According to Romulo,
00:54 retrofitting has been discussed for a long time
00:56 in the classrooms to make the students' lives easier.
01:01 But now that the weather is too hot,
01:04 he called for an immediate implementation of this
01:07 in order to help the students to have a longer study time.
01:11 Aside from the arrangement of the classrooms,
01:14 Romulo also favored to return the start of the school calendar in June
01:18 because it will prevent the cancellation of classes
01:22 like the one that is happening now.
01:24 Let's listen to a part of his statement.
01:27 In truth, we all know that the most important thing
01:32 when it comes to education is an academic calendar,
01:36 continuity of learning.
01:37 That is the most important.
01:39 It should be done gradually.
01:40 There should be a little suspension of classes.
01:46 And we know that the remote or online
01:51 is not the primary.
01:53 We have also tried that during the pandemic.
01:55 It is really hard to teach and learn when using it online.
02:01 That is why our primary should be face-to-face
02:04 and should be continuity of learning.
02:07 Meanwhile, an update from the camera.
02:11 The Office of the Presidential Advisor for Poverty Alleviation,
02:17 Secretary Larry Gadon, personally distributed
02:20 a letter to the House and Senate
02:23 that the joining of the political amendments
02:26 in the so-called Charter Change or amendment to the Constitution
02:30 is a matter of concern to the country.
02:32 He said that it is only true that the country will be able to move forward
02:36 if the economic and political provisions of the Constitution are amended.
02:41 The hot topic now is only the economic provisions.
02:49 In my opinion, why are we limiting the economic provisions
02:54 to the amendment to the Constitution?
02:59 Why should we not include the political provisions?
03:05 Because whatever economic provisions we do to change,
03:10 if the political provisions in the Constitution
03:17 are not changed,
03:20 I think that the last 30 years or more,
03:25 we have not given a good change
03:28 or a political culture maturity to our countrymen.
03:33 That is why I am suggesting to the Senate and House
03:38 to include the political provisions.
03:45 Secretary Gadon also said that he will also consult with President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr.
03:52 about his proposal.
03:54 He will also wait for the President's comment
03:57 but he hopes that he will get support from the various government officials.
04:03 So Mela, what is the resolution in the Congress about the Charter Change?
04:08 Is it not the last for the new proposals up to the Charter Change?
04:13 [music]
04:16 Angelic, here in the camera,
04:18 you will remember that before the Holy Week break,
04:20 the RBH-7 or Resolution of Both Houses No. 7
04:24 was passed in the third and last reading
04:26 that it will give way to the Economic Charter Change.
04:29 In the Senate, the separate counterpart measure of the RBH-6
04:33 was also amended at the committee level.
04:36 So Angelic, Secretary Gadon said that
04:38 the Congress will not pass a resolution about the RBH-7 and RBH-6.
04:47 He believes that he can still pursue his vision.
04:51 But Angelic, for now,
04:52 we are still waiting for the two resolutions of the Congress
04:57 about the writing of Secretary Gadon.
04:59 Angelic?
05:00 Okay. Thank you very much Mela Lesmoras.
