00:00For President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., nothing has changed in the UNITEAM.
00:07It was Vice President Sara Duterte who was the first one to take office.
00:12And for now, her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, and his brothers,
00:18Davao City First District Representative Paulo Duterte and Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte,
00:24who will be a candidate as a senator next year.
00:28According to President Marcos, because UNITEAM was formed last election,
00:32its current state will also be discussed in the next election.
00:37You have to remember, the PDP was never a part of the UNITEAM.
00:44PDP was never a part of UNITEAM, even during the election.
00:48So it does not change anything for the UNITEAM.
00:53It just depends on the positioning of Inday Sara when it comes to the election.
01:00Is she in the administration or is she in the opposition?
01:04That will be the only major determinant.
01:09But as the parties involved, UNITEAM is still the same. Nothing has changed.
01:15As for the plans of Duterte's brothers, it was proposed by the President.
01:22It's a free country. They're allowed to do whatever it is they want.
01:30I really have no reaction to it.
01:34Besides, it's still early.
01:38We really won't know any of these things. We're talking about 2028.
01:43There's still a lot to be said between now and 2028.
01:47And the only real situation will become clear in October, in the filing.
01:55House Speaker Martin Romualdez has the same view on the issue.
02:00It's a democratic nation that we live in, so any Filipino has the right,
02:06provided that they have the proper qualifications to seek for higher office.
02:11But what's different here is that the Makabayan Blacks are against the plans of the Dutertes.
02:16We denounce the so-called Duterte family running for the Senate.
02:26This is not a family affair and the Senate is not a family enterprise.
02:33It is a commitment. What can they offer to the people of the country?
02:38Let's look at the track record of the Dutertes.
02:42In the middle of discussing the question of others,
02:44can the father and son run for the next election for the same position?
02:51Professor Antonio Contreras explained.
02:54This is the problem in our legal system.
02:56It was said that everyone will be given equal opportunity to have an opportunity in public service.
03:05It was also said that the political dynasties will be prohibited,
03:09but it was denied that it will depend if the law is allowed.
03:13That's why it's half-way.
03:15This was approved in 1987.
03:18What's the time now? It's been 37 years and there's still no law that prohibits political dynasties.
03:25Aside from the Dutertes family,
03:27some congressmen have also declared their plans for the 2025 midterm elections.
03:34Maybe I'll stay in the 1st District for a while.
03:38I'll just do my work because I still have a lot of things to do in the 1st District.
03:43How about 2028, sir?
03:44That's still a long time.
03:47I'm happy to accept the challenges of our teachers,
03:51and other sectors in terms of their requests for me to run for the Senate.
03:59I know that my experience here in the House of Representatives
04:05gave me the confidence to accept it
04:09because the work here in the House of Representatives and in the Senate is almost the same.
