00:00 The Senate once again insisted that it will not hasten its discussion on the proposed amendment to the 1987 Constitution.
00:08 Next, Senator Sonny Angara defended the proposal to include plebiscites in the 2025 midterm elections.
00:17 Daniel Manalasas is the center of the news.
00:22 One of the senators' proposals in the next hearing of the resolution of both houses number 6 is to discuss public utilities.
00:30 Legal experts and big businessmen were invited to the hearing.
00:35 "The 1987 Constitution, what is our music? We listen to records and cassette tapes of 1987.
00:43 How do we communicate with that? We have a landline, right? The world is different. We should adjust."
00:50 According to the timeline, when will the discussion on the amendment end?
00:55 Senator Sonny Angara sees that by October, the discussion on the issue will be over.
01:00 But he can also hasten it.
01:02 The senator also insisted that it is better to include plebiscites in the 2025 midterm elections.
01:09 "That's why I want to include them in the elections so that the candidates have a chance to answer.
01:14 If they have a position on the issue, they should stand on the side and explain it to the people.
01:22 That's why this is my opposition, because of this, so and so. Whether they are pro or against, they should be discussed.
01:29 And for me, that's what our democracy really includes."
01:34 But in the position of his fellow candidates on the issue, the senator does not want to take the lead in this.
01:41 And even if the discussions and plans are consistent, they should be prepared for any questions that might arise in the court.
01:49 "How can I speak for 23 senators? I can only speak for Senator Angara, maybe Senate President Zubiri,
01:55 and Senate President Pro Templegarda, because we filed the resolution.
01:59 So we are listening to our resolution, right?
02:01 But we cannot assure that our fellow candidates will not amend it, because that's part of the process.
02:07 It's not easy to get 18 votes in one election."
02:10 In the midst of the arguments between the low and high-ranking officials,
02:15 former Senate President Franklin Delon joined the former colleagues to discuss,
02:20 tomorrow he will also study the restrictive economic provisions in the League of Law.
02:25 It should be tomorrow.
