Transcript
00:00 [News reporter speaking]
00:10 Good morning to our viewers and viewers. Good morning. Good morning.
00:15 It's been a week since you became the Senate President. How is your new responsibility?
00:21 [Speaking Filipino]
00:43 You admitted that you initiated to replace former Senate President Mig Subiri. Is there a lack of someone and why do you want to take this position from him?
00:54 In the end, the main reason and reason to change the leader of the Senate, even now, is one, the lack of confidence of the majority.
01:07 What is the individual reason for each one of them, who formed 15 who asked to change the Senate, the original 15,
01:16 who still lacks confidence. In the end, the main reason is that.
01:22 Is it true that Senator Bong Rebilla's condition is a big factor? Is that why the so-called celebrity senator or artiste
01:33 went to the front to replace him?
01:37 If you can see the videos, Senator Joel Villanueva and I are competing in Senator Rebilla's position.
01:46 Why would our vote differ from the Senate's vote if that's the reason?
01:51 So what is the reason Senator?
01:53 Like what I said, the lack of confidence and lack of confidence.
01:58 What is the reason Senator?
02:00 What is the reason Senator?
02:02 The confidence, I repeat, it's all together. Whatever the individual reason for each one, there's a long story behind it.
02:10 It just started a year ago if you remember. There's a long story behind the change of the President of the Senate.
02:17 It seems like the supermajority was divided among your supporters and Senator Subiris supporters.
02:24 So will this affect the composition of the majority and minority or the so-called strong seven?
02:32 I don't know. That's the individual's decision Senator. I'm just surprised and there are many others.
02:40 I thought there was a strong majority under the leadership of Senate President Subiris.
02:46 We were just surprised the other day. On the other hand, there's a solid majority and strong majority, which is a 22-member group.
02:54 There are six or seven members in that group.
02:59 I'm just surprised. I think the Senate is one, whether it's a majority or minority, and I'm not looking at your group or my group.
03:10 I think it's one Senate and all of them are members of the Senate.
03:14 Okay. Senator, how is your relationship with Senator Subiris? Have you talked after the coup d'etat?
03:20 We talked a few times. The coup d'etat, the media is used to calling it, but there was a peaceful exchange.
03:30 We went to Senator Cayetano and Senator Subiris to receive him, but he already knew that there's a sufficient vote to exchange the leader.
03:42 That's why the transition was peaceful before we ended the session.
03:48 What did the media do during the coup d'etat? You initiated it.
03:52 That's what they call it.
03:55 The coup d'etat.
03:56 There was a sudden, no discussion, and a push. It's not like that.
04:00 There was a good and solid discussion and a good and solid turnover if you watched it.
04:07 In your relationship with the camera, how is it? Did you talk to Speaker Martin Nualdez?
04:12 Are there issues like the charter change and other issues?
04:16 Not yet. We haven't talked personally, even though he congratulated me last week and we agreed to meet.
04:29 But it's not happening yet.
04:32 With the long position in the charter change, can you say that this is a death penalty?
04:38 That's my personal position. It's not changing.
04:44 If I remember correctly, the RBH 6 and 7, the agreement was not reached.
04:49 Even though I attended the first hearing, the agreement was not reached.
04:54 In the hearings of Sen. President Zubiri, the last one was in Baguio, where Sen. President Zubiri, Sen. Pro Tema Legarda and their chairman,
05:07 Chairman Angara were attending. Personally, I'm not in favor of that because it's not clear if the Senate voted for the agreement.
05:15 Divorce bill?
05:17 They haven't sent it to us yet because it's pending in the House of Representatives.
05:24 The number of votes that was adjusted was due to be passed in a day.
05:31 In the Senate, it's pending in the Committee on Rules.
05:34 My personal decision in that version is that I will vote.
05:38 But if I receive some amendments, my position might change.
05:43 But for now, in that version, I will not support it.
05:46 But let me clarify.
05:48 Usually, it's said that if the Senate President is in favor of a proposed law, there's no hope for that.
05:55 That's not what I'm looking at.
05:57 In my 14 years in the Senate and Congress, I never denied the passing of a law that came from and because of me.
06:04 Just because the Senate is a member, the passing of a law can be stopped.
06:09 So my vote is one. If I'm right, there are 23 more.
06:14 If that's what the majority wants, I think a consensual vote when it comes to divorce.
06:19 If that's what the majority wants, that's what the Senate will follow.
06:22 How is Harte Vangelista and his wide responsibility Senator?
06:28 Well, he doesn't know much. He's an automatic. He's also the president of the Senate Spouses Foundation.
06:38 They will have a meeting this Sunday to discuss his responsibility.
06:43 I was trusted and he has full confidence that he can do his schedule in the middle and the other side of the GMA.
06:54 Of course. What did you do when he panicked?
06:57 I just chillaxed him. I didn't want to raise his pressure.
07:04 I told him that if he can do it, that's all. That's how I live. If he can do it, that's what you should do.
07:10 How's your health?
07:12 I'm okay. My blood pressure is 100 over 60.
07:20 When I woke up, it was like this.
07:23 When you became Senate president, did it go up?
07:26 It's still the same. It didn't change.
07:28 Now my blood pressure is 100 over 60 because I'm just waking up.
07:32 Be careful and you need to go to the Senate. Thank you very much. Good luck and God bless Senator and Senate President Jesus Codero.
07:39 Thank you. Good morning.
07:40 Good morning.
07:41 (music)
