00:00 Signature forms for the Chacha were received from more than 600 cities and towns

00:05 from different parts of the country.

00:08 And in Comelec, it's not easy to get the necessary percentage of signatures for the People's Initiative.

00:14 Witnesses, Cinemab Gonzales and Sandra Aguinaldo.

00:17 More than 20,000 signatures were submitted to Comelec Quezon City District 2

00:26 when a group of people who are members of the Maralitas in Pamayanan or Dampa

00:32 introduced themselves to us.

00:35 The group said that they asked to hide their identity.

00:39 Before October, they already held the forms to find signatures

00:44 to support the joint voting of the House and Senate in the Charter Change.

00:49 It's not easy to get signatures for the people's initiative.

00:54 Remove the forms.

00:55 We already have a lot of forms. We just need to upgrade them.

01:00 When the signatures were received by Comelec Quezon City District 2,

01:04 they immediately submitted them and now they are counting them.

01:08 They will issue a certification on how many signatures they received.

01:13 But Comelec said that this is not the end yet because there will be a process called verification of the signatures.

01:21 Comelec has the power to remove the names and signatures that do not match their record.

01:27 According to Comelec, the signature forms received from different parts of the country

01:33 are from more than 600 cities and towns.

01:36 That's less than half of the total number of more than 1,600 cities and towns in the country.

01:42 According to Comelec, it's not easy to meet the requirement of 3% of the voters in each district

01:49 and 12% of the voters in the country.

01:53 Only one district will say that without 3%, the pre-visito will not continue.

02:01 But they insisted that by 2nd District Representative Joey Salceda, the national requirement will be met.

02:08 I think most of the country, I think by next week, we must have already achieved the 12%.

02:13 I heard that Marco Juanco is trying to beat 50%.

02:16 Mihan Singson has beaten 30% to make up for the slow moving districts.

02:23 We are still considering the confirmation of the 2nd District Representative Marco Juanco

02:30 and Ilocosur 2nd District Representative Christine Singson-Mihan.

02:34 The timeline that Senator Amy Marcos and Youth Party's Representative Raul Manuel for the People's Initiative

02:42 agrees with the information that Salceda received from some of its supporters.

02:47 As far as I know, it was explained to me by the proponents.

02:52 They want to hit it before July, July plebiscite.

02:55 She answered to the people who are saying that the congressmen are stupid.

02:59 Why us? House Initiative PI is a nice headline.

03:04 But basically, you cannot do it.

03:07 We have to still live by the spirit of the People's Initiative as it's signed in the Constitution.

03:13 That it is the people.

03:15 In the middle of the rumours that the resolution of both houses 6 will give way to political changes

03:22 that was approved by Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri,

03:25 Zubiri said that he will allow his being the Senate President to move only on economic provisions.

03:32 They have no other motive.

03:34 Zubiri also said that almost all of the senators he talked to agree with the economic amendments.

03:41 So the public does not need to worry.

03:43 What they are proposing is simple and a radical change in the Constitution.

03:48 Zubiri also said that the Senate will not allow the House to pass political amendments.

03:54 Senator Jinkoy Estrada said that their support for Zubiri is complete.

03:58 He asked those behind the People's Initiative to stop the signing of the Constitution,

04:04 especially when there are allegations that there is money in exchange for the signing.

04:07 Everything is possible if everything is opened, especially if we have the People's Initiative.

04:15 There is a possibility that it will be opened.

04:20 And we do not have control over who will have the People's Initiative.

04:26 What they want is voting jointly.

04:30 They want a unicameral system of government.

04:35 But Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel was surprised by the sudden change of the Senate's charter.

04:42 He had a lot of questions about the process,

04:44 like why Senator Sonny Angara made a subcommittee led by Nayang Narayan,

04:50 the chairman of the Senate Committee on Constitutional Amendments, under Senator Robin Padilla.

04:54 What happened is that we were submitted to the People's Initiative.

04:59 That is a knee-jerk reaction.

05:02 Just relax. Let's see.

05:04 In the past several weeks, there is no need to have reacted that way.

05:09 Suddenly, the Senate is dancing.

05:13 Zubiri's answer was that the Senate was not submitted to the People's Initiative.

05:17 After their consultation with the economic team and the President,

05:21 it came out that a lot of foreign direct investment was invested because of cases in the Supreme Court that questioned the Public Services Act.

05:30 That is why it is best to return the provisions in the Constitution regarding the national patrimony

05:36 so that the constitutionality of the law is clear.

05:39 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maev Gonzalez.

05:42 I'm Sandra Aguinaldo.

05:44 We are your witnesses.

05:46 My fellow Filipinos, let's be witnesses together.
