00:00Senate President Francis C. Escudero gave an update regarding the activities in the Senate
00:05even in the situation of some proposed laws and the expected changes in their institution.
00:12Here is the report of Daniel Manalastas.
00:17A few days before the election of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,
00:20Senate President Francis Escudero invited me.
00:24In an interview, I discussed the situation of the high-ranking members of Congress.
00:28The Senate will not only listen and discuss the proposed laws,
00:33but will also amend and improve the interior of the House of Representatives.
00:37This is not a preparation for the opening.
00:40This is a preparation for some things that have not been done for a long time
00:46because the Senate has been busy with various things.
00:50So, recess now. This is the longest recess the Senate has ever held.
00:54So, I decided to do this.
00:56Next is the replacement of the leader from former Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri.
01:01And now, in the term of office of Senate President Escudero,
01:04how are the Senators?
01:06I expect that, of course, no matter how hot the atmosphere is,
01:10when more than two months have passed, I hope it has cooled down.
01:14Because most of the Senators are old-fashioned Senators.
01:18No one can be considered a new Senator.
01:22There are about 12-15 years of Senators,
01:26and I have seen and experienced this kind of replacement of the leader from the Senate.
01:32Some Senators and Congressmen have changed their words.
01:38The end goal is to amend the Constitution, or the so-called Charter Change,
01:44and discuss the so-called People's Initiative.
01:46But now, the situation has improved.
01:50We have already met Speaker Romaldez.
01:52He is one batch ahead of me in the UP College of Law.
01:56That's where we meet and get to know each other.
02:00Aside from the fact that I came from the Chamber,
02:02my brother is also there.
02:04I also have a lot of friends and colleagues in Congress
02:08that I have maintained the relationship and became close friends with.
02:12That's why it was easy for me and my party
02:14to restore the relationship between the Chamber and the Senate.
02:20I believe that as time goes by,
02:22whatever bad things happen to the people,
02:24it will also disappear.
02:30The RBH 6 and 7,
02:32because Senator Angara was appointed by the Department of Education,
02:38we will return that to the committee
02:40and follow the ordinary process.
02:42That will no longer be the priority of the Senate.
02:44That is my position even before I became the Senate President.
02:48And there is no reason for me to change my position
02:50because I became the Senate President.
02:52And this is also my position,
02:54the position of the majority of the current Senators.
02:58It is also expected that there will be some changes in the Senate
03:00that will have a spokesperson.
03:02But Escudero has not yet determined
03:04who will be assigned to this position.
03:06There are some things that the Senators do not do
03:08that is in line with the natural and ordinary work of the Senate.
03:10We will finalize it during lunchtime.
03:12One of the Deputy Secretaries General,
03:14in many occasions,
03:16the Senator wants them to speak.
03:18But for me,
03:20that is my position.
