Transcript

00:00 Again, House Speaker Martin Romualdez was stopped by the camera.

00:04 This is also in violation of the resolution that gives support to the leader of the lower-ranking.

00:09 The Senate also has an answer here.

00:12 Mel Alasmora is in the center of the news.

00:15 The ayes have it.

00:19 House Resolution 1562 is therefore adopted.

00:25 Congressmen unanimously expressed their support for House Speaker Martin Romualdez

00:31 despite the accusations that some senators are throwing at him because of the issue of the charter change.

00:37 That is under House Resolution 1562, which is officially the strengthening of the lower ranks.

00:44 In the sponsorship speech of House Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Dom Gonzales Jr.,

00:49 he expressed his respect despite the different views of the House and Senate.

00:55 Gonzales was saddened by the relationship between the two prisons because of the issue of the charter change.

01:02 Recent events have cast a dark shadow over the decorum and mutual respect

01:09 that should define the relationship between our co-equal legislative bodies.

01:17 The unfounded allegations hardened by some members of the Senate on the issues surrounding the people's initiative

01:28 are direct violations of inter-parliamentary courtesy and undermine the independence and integrity of the House of Representatives.

01:41 House Senior Deputy Speaker also insisted that the signature campaign for the people's initiative is not a joke.

01:48 But he called on the Senate to pass their version of Resolution of Both Houses No. 6

01:54 to pass the amendment to the economic provisions of the Constitution.

01:59 This initiative, in support of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s agenda,

02:07 was conducted with the utmost legal and procedural integrity.

02:13 We have no involvement in the signature drive to amend the Constitution,

02:19 and it was, in fact, initiated by a private organization.

02:25 We, however, respect the people's initiative as it clearly manifests the essence of our country's democratic process.

02:36 Other members of the House of Representatives who are members of various major parties in the country

02:42 also expressed their strong support for the leadership of the House and the integrity of their institution.

02:48 Today, as the leader of the National Unity Party, I address this August body to voice our steadfast support

02:59 for the resolution that stands as a bulwark against the recent actions of the Senate

03:07 against its co-equal legislative chamber in our country.

03:12 Today, I stand before you as a proud leader of the Nacionalista Party,

03:17 compelled by our enduring commitment to democracy,

03:21 to voice our unflinching support for the resolution presented in the House of Representatives.

03:27 The House resolution was also immediately presented to the Senate.

03:31 Mr. President, if a leader is embattled or beleaguered in the case of the House of Representatives,

03:42 it is but normal for the members of the House to express their unwavering support.

03:50 And if our Senate President here in the Senate is also beleaguered and embattled,

03:58 we, the members of the Senate, will also express our full support to the leadership of our Senate President.

04:05 That's normal.

04:06 For the good of the country, we will accept tomorrow to discuss with the House of Representatives

04:12 to stop this nonsense.

04:15 Melales Moras for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
