01:38.3
Ito po yung 1987 Constitution. Medyo catchy yung ilang mga parts ng kanilang TV ad.
01:44.0
I don't know kung sino nagproduce nun, pero mukhang well-funded kasi hindi po ganun ka-cheap na maglabas ng ganyang ad.
01:53.0
So sabi rito, basically, pag pinanood niyo yung ad na yun, less than one minute.
01:58.9
Naisisi po dun po sa kakulungan ng kaunlaran sa Pilipinas, sa larangan po ng agrikultura, ng investment, na ekonomiya, pati na po dito sa edukasyon, ang may kasalanan daw, yung 1987 Constitution.
02:14.2
So nung nakita ko po itong ad na ito, naisip ko, aba, edi imbitahin natin yung isa po sa mga may akda, isa po dun sa mga sumulat ng ating kasulukuyang Constitution, yung 1987 Constitution.
02:26.6
So I invited one member.
02:28.9
A member of the 1986 Constitutional Commission.
02:31.7
Ito po yung body na nagbusisi, nag-aral, at bumuo ng ating kasulukuyang Constitution, na of course, inaprubahan po natin.
02:41.6
Tayo po ang nag-gratify dito.
02:44.1
So basically, ito yung pag-uusapan natin ngayong gabi.
02:46.9
Tama bang sisihin yung 1987 Constitution dun po sa kakulungan ng kaunlaran na nakikita natin ngayon for over the years.
02:53.3
I'd like to welcome to our program tonight, a member of the 1986 Constitutional Commission.
02:58.9
A former chairman of the Commission on Election, si Atty. Christian Monsod.
03:04.9
Magandang gabi po, sir, and thank you for joining us dito po sa Facts First.
03:10.1
Magandang gabi sa inyo lahat po.
03:12.4
Okay. Ano, sir, kamusta? Napunod niyo po ba yung advertisement na binabanggit ko sa introduction?
03:20.4
Parang ang lumalabas na issue ngayon, yung provisions ng Constitution on the economy, on political, and so on and so forth,
03:28.9
shift to federalism, parliamentary, ang issue ngayon ay yung proposal na amendahin yung means to amend the Constitution.
03:40.6
Yung Article 17, Section 1, na nakalagay the Constitution ay pwedeng ma-amend o ma-revise via yung tawag natin Constituent Assembly
03:52.2
by the vote of all the members of the Congress, three-fourths vote.
03:58.9
That's the issue now.
04:00.1
Ang pinipresentin na is yung DAO, People's Initiative, pero anyway, People's Initiative, na baguhin yun by adding,
04:13.7
voting jointly at the call of this President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
04:28.9
Sabi yung sinasabi, teka muna, yung sa komisyon, hindi nabing nadagdag yung separate vote, pero over the years, I think four or five or six years,
04:44.9
the House and the Senate have already agreed na ang interpretation yun is separate vote.
04:52.3
Dahil by Kameral.
04:54.3
As a matter of fact, pag binasa mo yung rules of the House,
04:58.2
Section 145, nakalagay doon na yung amendments or revision of the Constitution shall be the process for ordinary law.
05:07.5
Ordinary law is a separate vote.
05:12.6
Ang ordinary law, di ba?
05:14.0
Separate meeting, separate vote.
05:16.5
Ngayon, gusto nilang balikan ito kasi nabiguna sila eh.
05:22.0
Hindi nilang makuha yung three-fourths vote ng Senate.
05:28.2
to amend or revise the Constitution, hindi nilang makuha yung two-thirds vote ng Senate to call for a Constitutional Convention.
05:41.1
Ngayon, ang nakaumang dito is si Mr. Abad.
05:45.7
But I think behind it is the House of Representatives.
05:49.7
Unang-una, saan nang gagaling yung pera na pinapangako?
05:53.6
I'm getting reports from the field.
05:57.2
ang mga mayors at mga barangay
05:59.5
eh being instructed na
06:01.7
meron na silang form na pipilmahan ng mga tao
06:09.0
basta pumirma ka.
06:11.1
Nasaan nang gagaling yung pera nyo?
06:13.3
Hindi naman mayaman na tayo si Mr. Abad.
06:19.6
binabaliwala nila
06:22.5
Kasi, ang mangyayari pag yung tinatawag na
06:27.2
ang mangyayari, ang boto ng mga senator
06:30.6
is one vote, pareho lang ng one vote
06:33.6
ng 316 congressmen.
06:38.2
So talagang binabaliwala yung Senate
06:40.4
as a separate institution.
06:42.6
Now, I just want to mention
06:43.9
na under our Constitution,
06:47.0
yung system of checks and balances
06:50.0
is among the three departments of government,
06:54.4
di ba? Executive, Legislative, Judiciary.
06:57.2
nakakalimutan nila
06:59.1
na yung checks and balances
07:01.9
ay nandun sa Legislative.
07:05.7
galingan ng pera.
07:07.6
Kaya, sa prinsipyo,
07:09.4
pag ginawa nila yan,
07:11.2
narasabihin nila voting jointly,
07:13.4
sinisira nila yung system
07:15.7
of checks and balances
07:17.1
sa ating Legislative.
07:21.0
ang constitutional yan,
07:23.4
yung gusto nilang mangyayari.
07:27.2
Okay. Pero, yung People's Initiative itself,
07:30.6
meron ba talagang enabling law
07:33.2
for this to be operationalized
07:35.8
as one of the modes?
07:38.0
Yan ang problema because I'm sure
07:40.0
you've read the Santiago case
07:43.2
na sinasabi, teka muna,
07:46.8
walang batas for a People's Initiative
07:54.0
to amend the Constitution.
07:57.1
Walang batas for a People's Initiative to amend the Constitution.
07:59.1
yung desisyon. We cannot go into that.
08:01.7
If you're interested,
08:03.0
pwede niyong basahin yan.
08:04.3
So, that's another issue.
08:10.5
Nakalimutin yata ng House
08:13.9
na gumawa ng batas na sinasabi dun sa kaso
08:17.4
must be passed by
08:20.5
Hindi pwedeng ibigay sa
08:24.0
power to do these things.
08:27.2
Because this is about amending
08:30.1
the Constitution itself.
08:33.4
So, linawin natin
08:36.5
para po sa benefit ng ating viewers.
08:38.9
So, basically, two layers
08:40.0
ang pinag-uusapan natin dito so far.
08:42.3
People's Initiative
08:45.8
na voting jointly
08:47.2
yung dalawang kapulungan ng Kongreso
08:49.1
dun sa kanila isinusulong
08:52.1
na pagbabago sa ating Constitution
08:56.1
mas madaling makalusot.
08:57.2
Yung pagsusulong ng Charter Change
09:00.1
dahil by sheer numbers
09:01.5
kaya na nai-overwhelm yung Senado.
09:10.0
you do not recognize it
09:11.4
na separate dyan sa Legislature
09:13.4
in the dual system natin sa Legislature
09:16.3
at aalisin mo yung
09:18.1
kapangyarihan ng Senado.
09:21.4
will have total control
09:23.3
of the Constituent Assembly.
09:27.2
And kasi kailangan
09:29.6
three-fourths vote
09:30.7
on every provision.
09:34.7
sabi ng Senate yata,
09:39.1
Yun talagang mahirap yun.
09:40.8
But that's a system.
09:42.5
Ngayon sinasabi ng Senado,
09:43.9
eh bakit kami baliwalain nila ngayon?
09:54.6
constitutional grounds.
09:59.2
pero yun nga pala, sige,
10:00.2
bago natin puntahan yung isang issue, no?
10:02.2
Do you think, kailangan ba bang i-clarify yun
10:06.2
kung yung Senado at yung House
10:08.2
kailangan ba mo ito
10:10.2
separately or jointly
10:14.2
Constituent Assembly setup?
10:16.2
Alam nyo, nakapagtataka yan kasi
10:18.2
if you look at the history,
10:20.2
yung mga speaker in the past
10:22.2
said, yes, we recognize na dapat siya
10:24.2
na i-separate vote, no?
10:27.2
even nga the rules of the House say it already.
10:33.2
whatever, whoever is behind this,
10:35.2
but at least the petition
10:39.2
eh sinasabi, eh, isingit niya ilagay yung voting, ah, voting jointly.
10:46.2
sakin, sana mag-isip naman ang mga
10:48.2
House of Representatives kasi ang balita namin,
10:51.2
yung mga congressman,
10:53.2
nag-uumpisa nang mag-campaign sa ground.
10:58.2
sa mga barangay officials,
11:01.2
nag-uumpisa na sila mag-collect
11:03.2
ng mga signatures.
11:08.2
ang sabi nga ng Supreme Court,
11:14.2
nasaan ang batas?
11:16.2
Nasaan ang batas?
11:18.2
Anong gagawin? How do you, for example,
11:22.2
yung veracity of the signatures
11:24.2
and so on and so forth?
11:26.2
Kung may 3% or 12% nationwide,
11:30.2
legislative district, ah,
11:32.2
nasaan yung mga rules? Wala.
11:36.2
kung ito inulusok,
11:38.2
kailangan, I mean,
11:40.2
the Supreme Court
11:42.2
must change the decision
11:44.2
on the Santiago case.
11:46.2
Kailangan, kasi ang
11:48.2
jurisprudence ngayon
11:52.2
Ito eh questionable.
11:54.2
At saka walang proseso.
11:56.2
Right? How can you,
11:58.2
how can you implement
12:00.2
a people's initiative
12:02.2
kung hindi maliwanag yung process
12:04.2
and procedures dahil walang batas?
12:06.2
Okay. Masagi sir.
12:08.2
Puntahan naman natin itong ad, no? Kasi nga
12:10.2
medyo delikado rin kung masyadong
12:12.2
simplistic yung framing
12:14.2
ng narrative ng iba na gustong paritan
12:16.2
o kumag-a-amiyandahan yung ating
12:18.2
kasalukuyang konstitusyon, no?
12:20.2
Nakailang beses na rin po
12:22.2
akong mga, I've interviewed
12:24.2
you a number of times, no?
12:26.2
And in-explain nyo po sa akin paulit-ulit before
12:28.2
in the past, yung social justice
12:32.2
of the 1987 Constitution.
12:34.2
Siguro magandang yun yung foundation
12:36.2
ng ating discussion dito. Kasi nga dun po
12:38.2
sa mga nakapanood nitong TV
12:40.2
ad na ito, promoting charter change,
12:42.2
eh talagang ang pinapalabas
12:44.2
na sala rin dito, dito sa
12:46.2
kakulungan o kawalan ng progreso
12:48.2
sa ating bansa, yung mismong
12:50.2
konstitusyon na inakdani nyo.
12:52.2
Ano po bang sagot nyo doon?
12:54.2
Alam mo, I want to listen
12:56.2
to them, I want to debate them, kung sino
12:58.2
man lang yung behind that. Kasi,
13:02.2
doon sa nakita kong
13:04.2
ad, parang it boils
13:08.2
merong restriction ng Constitution
13:12.2
direct investment.
13:14.2
Sinasabi nila kung pumasok yun,
13:16.2
ako ang daming benepesyon natin,
13:18.2
magkakaroon tayo ng taas na
13:20.2
growth rate, parang so on and so forth.
13:22.2
Pero pag-isipan nyo,
13:24.2
okay? Pag-isipan nyo.
13:26.2
Ang sinasabi nila na
13:30.2
alisin yung limitation
13:36.2
pinasa nila yung Republic Act
13:40.2
na dinidistinguish
13:44.2
utility and public services.
13:46.2
Kaya ngayon, pwede nang 100%
13:48.2
telecommunications, transport
13:50.2
transportation. So,
13:52.2
hindi na hindransyon doon.
13:56.2
what about electricity?
13:58.2
Okay, if you look at electricity,
14:00.2
there are four parts to
14:02.2
electricity. Power
14:04.2
generation, transmission,
14:06.2
distribution, and
14:08.2
retail. Doon sa EPIRA law
14:10.2
that was passed, what,
14:16.2
sinabi na doon na yung
14:18.2
power generation, pwede
14:20.2
ng 100% foreign ownership.
14:22.2
Pero bakit kumisa
14:24.2
nagkakaroon pa tayo ng kulang ng
14:26.2
power generation kung
14:28.2
pwede namang 100%
14:30.2
na foreign ownership ang
14:32.2
power generation? Ngayon,
14:34.2
ako na-experience nyo kasi
14:36.2
nasa Miraco ako nung araw.
14:40.2
gusto mag-invest sa atin,
14:44.2
silang long-term take or pay
14:46.2
doon sa distribution company.
14:48.2
Ang taas na ng rate of
14:50.2
return nila, siguro
14:52.2
bawin na yung kanilang
14:56.2
in say 5 or 6 or maybe 7
14:58.2
years. Pero ang gusto nila
15:02.2
na take or pay supply.
15:06.2
a question of ownership
15:08.2
or foreign ownership.
15:10.2
It's a question of what kind of contract
15:14.2
Sabi nila ngayon, importante yung
15:16.2
renewable energy. Tapos na yun,
15:18.2
meron ng clarification.
15:26.2
Now, at lang ko sa inyo,
15:30.2
3 or 4 years ago,
15:32.2
there were about 50
15:34.2
Japanese companies
15:36.2
na umaalis sa China.
15:38.2
Ang destination nila
15:44.2
Bakit tayo number 4 lang?
15:46.2
Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam ahead of us.
15:50.2
in destination. Bakit?
15:52.2
Did they say that the
15:54.2
constitution is the problem? They cannot.
15:56.2
Because under our
15:58.2
constitution, pwedeng 100%
16:00.2
foreign ownership ang manufacturing.
16:04.2
constitution. Anong sabi ng
16:06.2
Japanese business sector?
16:10.2
it's about the investment climate.
16:14.2
Hindi siya level playing field.
16:16.2
At saka yung ano yan?
16:18.2
Ano yan? Anong investment?
16:20.2
Climate that may turn them off.
16:22.2
Number 1, corruption.
16:26.2
Number 2 is of doing
16:30.2
Diba? Yun ang sabi nila.
16:32.2
Tsaka commission yung peace and order.
16:36.2
Tapos, yung unpredictable
16:38.2
regulatory rules.
16:40.2
Yes. Pabago-bago.
16:44.2
The other countries,
16:46.2
medyo stable ang kanilang ganon.
16:50.2
Diba yung ating legislation?
16:54.2
At saka yung mga ating
17:00.2
Pag iniba mo yan, kasi ang kanilang
17:06.2
8 or 9 provisions of the
17:08.2
constitution on the
17:10.2
economy, isingit yung unless
17:12.2
otherwise provided by law.
17:16.2
that the constitutional provisions
17:18.2
become meaningless.
17:20.2
Ngayon ang power is in
17:24.2
sabi ka ng mga tao, nako,
17:26.2
transactional legislation pinausapan
17:28.2
diyan. And I'll give you an example.
17:32.2
Aquino and Duterte administration,
17:38.2
reform in mining.
17:40.2
Kasi talagang yung
17:44.2
are get the better end of this.
17:46.2
Right? Those proposals
17:48.2
died in committee
17:52.2
Hindi natuloy yan.
17:54.2
Actually, mga mining
17:56.2
companies, nagyayabang silang matilalaman
17:58.2
yan eh. So, hanggang ngayon,
18:00.2
yung ating mining
18:08.2
companies. Meron ba tayong
18:10.2
industrialization based
18:12.2
on natural resources?
18:16.2
and so on? Meron ba? Wala.
18:18.2
Yung pinakamalaking
18:20.2
investment ng mining,
18:22.2
Sagittarius Mining in Mindanao,
18:26.2
kilometer conveyor
18:30.2
ng ating iron ore.
18:34.2
will be used in the production
18:36.2
of products. Tapos ini-import
18:42.2
At saka sila, mining companies,
18:46.2
na magkakaroon tayo ng industrialization
18:50.2
our mineral and oil
18:52.2
resources. Kailan nangyari
19:00.2
hindrance. Walang hindrance.
19:04.2
of fact, under Section 2
19:06.2
of Article 12 of the
19:08.2
Constitution, there can be
19:10.2
like mining companies
19:12.2
with 100% ownership
19:14.2
in partnership with
19:16.2
the government. Ayaw nila nun.
19:18.2
But that's possible
19:22.2
desisyon niya ng Supreme Court
19:26.2
partnership, meron
19:28.2
namang proteksyon ng Pilipinos
19:30.2
because the partner is the government
19:32.2
and they can protect us.
19:34.2
Are the mining companies availing
19:38.2
foreign ownership? No.
19:42.2
Correct? Kasi hindi na
19:50.2
yung mga raso nila, isa-isahin natin
19:52.2
kung talagang yun yung hindrance
19:54.2
to foreign direct investment
19:56.2
in the Philippines or if
19:58.2
the hindrance is not in the
20:00.2
Constitution. I'll give you another example.
20:04.2
the President of the
20:06.2
Philippines is the Chairman
20:10.2
Di ba? Now, in September,
20:14.2
naglabas ang TEDA
20:16.2
with the approval of
20:18.2
the President Marcos
20:30.2
you want to read this, about
20:34.2
there is not a single
20:36.2
program or target in
20:38.2
that Philippine Development
20:40.2
Plan that requires
20:42.2
a change in the Constitution.
20:44.2
Pinirmahan niyan.
20:50.2
ni Presidente Marcos.
20:52.2
Kaya hindi kong maintindihan
20:54.2
si Presidente Marcos yung mga sinasabi
20:56.2
niya ngayon na we will
20:58.2
study it. Hindi pa niya binasa
21:00.2
yung Philippine Development Plan
21:02.2
ng NEDA of which he is
21:04.2
the Chairman. Ngayon pa lang pag-aaralan
21:06.2
yung foreign direct investment.
21:08.2
Medyo mahirap. Di ba?
21:10.2
Maintindihan yun. Correct?
21:16.2
nakuhang investment pledges
21:18.2
ni Presidente Marcos sa mga
21:20.2
trips niya abroad.
21:22.2
I think it amounts now, sinabi nila
21:26.2
73 billion dollars
21:28.2
ang mga investment
21:32.2
trips ni Presidente Marcos.
21:36.2
in any of those pledges,
21:48.2
So hindi kailangan.
21:52.2
ang charter change?
21:56.2
there is a single pledge
21:58.2
that has a condition
22:00.2
that there must be charter change.
22:02.2
Dito sa isa, isa ron
22:04.2
sa mga iginigit po ron sa TV
22:06.2
ad, sinasabi ron, land ownership
22:08.2
ng foreign investors
22:10.2
na ed sa puwera daw. I mean,
22:12.2
kailangan ba talagang bigyan sila ng
22:16.2
Let's put it this way.
22:20.2
foreign chambers of commerce
22:24.2
pinayagan na 100%
22:26.2
ownership in land,
22:30.2
the price of land will go up
22:38.2
Ang presyo ng land.
22:40.2
Malayo masyado para yung mahirap natin
22:42.2
makabili ng lupa. Dahil ang mga
22:44.2
foreigners, binibili yung lupa.
22:46.2
Para kung silang pwedeng
22:50.2
Eh missing foreign chamber of commerce,
22:52.2
inaahami nila yun eh.
22:56.2
sa kultura natin,
22:58.2
yung ownership of land
23:02.2
parang it is symbol
23:06.2
they are already part of the
23:08.2
patrimony of the country.
23:10.2
Right? Eh ngayon,
23:16.2
land, beyond the reach
23:18.2
of many of the poor.
23:20.2
Anong ginagawa ng gobyerno tungkol dyan?
23:26.2
ang mga mayayaman.
23:28.2
Yung mga ating mga local
23:30.2
government, pinagbili nila
23:32.2
yung lupa yun ng mga local government
23:34.2
sa land developers.
23:38.2
increase yung value of the land,
23:40.2
sino nakikinabang?
23:42.2
Yung mga mayayaman. Mayaman na sila.
23:44.2
Yung mayayaman pa rin sila
23:58.2
greedy big business.
24:04.2
Ito nga pala, sige.
24:06.2
Nabanggit nyo na rin yung dynastic families.
24:08.2
Talagang tumaba sila
24:10.2
ng tumaba. Naging gehigante na
24:12.2
1987. Matanong ko na po
24:14.2
sa inyo. Medyo ibalik niya nga po
24:16.2
kami dun sa naging diskusyon
24:18.2
ng Constitutional Commission no 1986.
24:20.2
Bakit nga ba hindi na
24:22.2
hindi pa ginawang self-executory
24:24.2
yung provision ng ating
24:28.2
nagbaban po sa mga political dynasties?
24:32.2
Pinagdiskusyon na natin yan.
24:40.2
meron ba kayong mistakes
24:42.2
nung ginawa niya yung Constitution. Of course,
24:44.2
we are imperfect. So it's not a
24:46.2
perfect Constitution. But I think
24:48.2
we made two mistakes.
24:50.2
We made two mistakes in writing
24:52.2
that Constitution.
25:00.2
the spirit of EDSA.
25:02.2
And some, number two,
25:04.2
we underestimated
25:06.2
the greed of politicians
25:08.2
and big business. Kaya
25:10.2
tingnan ninyo yung mga lupain
25:12.2
ng mga local government. Pinagbili
25:14.2
doon sa mga land developers
25:16.2
na malalaking business. Correct?
25:20.2
increasing value, nandoon na.
25:22.2
Nandoon na sa big business
25:24.2
ngayon. Dapat yun
25:26.2
yung mga lupain na yun,
25:28.2
diyan gumawa ng mga dwellings
25:34.2
Yung mga mahihirap. Dapat
25:36.2
meron niyang ganyan sa within the
25:38.2
local communities. Ngayon,
25:40.2
yung mga mahihirap nagtatrabaho
25:42.2
sa Manila, ilang oras
25:44.2
para silang makaalis at makabalik
25:46.2
sa bahay nilang. Whereas kung meron
25:48.2
tayong mga housing
25:50.2
projects for the poor,
25:52.2
hindi naman ibibigay na ownership.
25:54.2
Pwedeng lease lang sa mga
25:56.2
poor dahil pag umakyat
25:58.2
naman ang kanilang kita, pwede silang
26:02.2
lahat ng mga local
26:04.2
government, of course there's corruption
26:06.2
in that. Pinagbili
26:08.2
doon sa mga land developers.
26:14.2
na ginagawa natin
26:16.2
because of corruption.
26:18.2
Because of greed for power.
26:22.2
land bank, there are
26:24.2
200 clans in the Philippines.
26:26.2
And then yung mga
26:28.2
studies, nagkaroon nga tayo
26:30.2
sa Dusuit Hotel, nagkaroon pa tayo ng
26:32.2
nag-invite tayo ng experts
26:34.2
on forms of government.
26:38.2
if your government
26:42.2
whether not perfectly,
26:50.2
kung bakit ang pinagbibintangan nila
26:52.2
lagi ay Constitution
26:54.2
whereas ang dapat na kanilang
26:56.2
pagbintangan, yung sarili nila
26:58.2
na kanilang greed for power
27:00.2
at saka yung kanilang
27:02.2
kasama sa business who are
27:04.2
greed for wealth.
27:08.2
Yan ang ating problema.
27:10.2
We have a feudalistic society
27:14.2
Ang pangako ng EDSA is
27:16.2
restore democracy,
27:20.2
and social change.
27:22.2
Ano yung social change?
27:24.2
Kung babasahin mo yung
27:26.2
Article 13 ng Constitution,
27:34.2
in social, political,
27:38.2
It is to address social justice.
27:40.2
Tapos nung tinatanong
27:42.2
paano i-implement yan?
27:46.2
economist na Nobel Peace Prize
27:48.2
sabi nila, para magkaroon ng
27:50.2
so-called competition,
27:54.2
competition, kailangan
27:58.2
yung starting positions.
28:00.2
Tapos magkaroon ng competition.
28:02.2
Kasi kung iba yung starting position
28:04.2
tapos competition, mas lalala
28:12.2
Are we implementing the social justice
28:16.2
All of them are non-performing.
28:18.2
Ano yung mga non-performing?
28:24.2
And we can go through it.
28:26.2
Anong asset reform program?
28:28.2
Agrarian reform, urban non-reform
28:30.2
and housing, ancestral domain,
28:32.2
and fisheries. At
28:34.2
education and health.
28:38.2
Ang available, for example,
28:42.2
yung available health services,
28:44.2
pareho sa mahirap at mayaman?
28:48.2
Tama? At yung education,
28:50.2
little thing. For example,
28:52.2
sabi sa Constitution,
28:54.2
dapat may mga tinatawag natin
29:04.2
yung mga assistance
29:06.2
is through the public school
29:10.2
Mali yun. Sa Constitution,
29:14.2
ang pinagsasabihan diyan,
29:20.2
ay ibibigay sa mga
29:22.2
estudyante na marunong,
29:26.2
the capability and so on.
29:28.2
Tapos yung estudyante, ang pipili
29:32.2
Ngayon, in order to get this
29:34.2
kind of scholarship, you have to
29:36.2
enroll in a public
29:40.2
Simple, right? Very simple.
29:44.2
Bakit hindi nila ginawa yun?
29:46.2
So, can you imagine yung mga may
29:48.2
hirap, sabi, hindi, ayoko yan. Gusto ko sa
29:50.2
UP, hindi lang UP, Ateneo,
29:52.2
LaSalle, pwede yun. Ngayon, hindi.
29:54.2
You must be a public university.
30:06.2
So, madami tayong magagawa
30:10.2
implementation, implementing rules and
30:12.2
regulations na pagbago.
30:14.2
And I can talk about it endlessly.
30:16.2
For example, agreement. But I want
30:18.2
to ask you the questions you want.
30:20.2
Dito muna, sir, yung isa,
30:22.2
yung isa, looking back doon sa
30:24.2
discussion siya sa Constitutional
30:26.2
Commission about banning
30:28.2
political dynasties, ano ba yung naging
30:30.2
thought process? Bakit hindi nyo pag ginawang
30:32.2
self-executory provision?
30:34.2
I did not answer it earlier.
30:36.2
Alam niyo, nandili
30:38.2
discussion natin. We
30:40.2
considered, eh ba't hindi na iligay natin
30:42.2
yan kung anong kailangan?
30:44.2
At the time, it was
30:46.2
4 degrees. Ang dapat na bawal.
30:50.2
Sabi niya, teka muna.
30:54.2
once it improves,
30:56.2
nag-mature ang ating
30:58.2
democracy, baka hindi na
31:00.2
kailangan ng 4 degrees.
31:02.2
At 2 degrees na lang.
31:04.2
And maybe 20 years from now,
31:06.2
25 years, we don't
31:12.2
the mistake of saying, well, that's true.
31:14.2
It must be adjusted to circumstances.
31:16.2
Why don't we give that power
31:22.2
Ngayon, ang Congress, 36
31:24.2
years they have not passed
31:26.2
an anti-dynasty law. 36 years.
31:28.2
At ang kanilang binagbibintangan
31:30.2
ang Constitution.
31:32.2
And why didn't you pass it?
31:38.2
nakikinabang na wala yung
31:40.2
anti-dynasty law.
31:42.2
Hindi nga. Hindi ba kayo nagsisisi na
31:44.2
sana hindi nyo na ibinigay yung
31:46.2
kapangyarihan ngayon sa Congress?
31:48.2
Kayo na nagdesisyon.
31:50.2
As I told you, one of our mistakes
31:52.2
was we overestimated
31:54.2
its spirit and we underestimated
31:56.2
the greed of politicians
31:58.2
for power and money.
32:02.2
Okay. Mukhang obvious naman, no?
32:04.2
E dito, sir, paano ba dapat
32:06.2
ang maging pagtanggap nitong publiko
32:08.2
ngayon? Kanina nung hindi pa tayo nagsisimula sa
32:10.2
programa, you were mentioning to me
32:12.2
na ilang pagtatangkala
32:16.2
amyendahan ng Constitution, ang nahaharang
32:18.2
nyo, no? Sampu na inyong mga kasama?
32:20.2
Anim. Anim? Okay.
32:22.2
Simula pa ng panahon ni FBR, no? Tama ba?
32:26.2
Ah, okay. State of
32:28.2
Concord. Dito ba?
32:30.2
Dito sa latest effort to
32:32.2
amend or even revise the Constitution
32:34.2
we don't know, no? Again, sabi nyo,
32:36.2
mahirap i-underestimate
32:38.2
ang imagination at least
32:40.2
ng ating mga politiko, including
32:42.2
their greed, no? Paano ba dapat
32:44.2
po ang maging pagtingin ng publiko dito
32:46.2
sa latest effort to amend the
32:48.2
Constitution? Well, etong latest
32:50.2
effort na parang sasabihin, e ba?
32:52.2
Hindi, simple lang e.
32:54.2
Iibahin lang namin yung provision na yun.
32:56.2
Isisingi talaga namin
32:58.2
yung voting jointly.
33:00.2
Tapos saka na natin
33:02.2
pag-usapan yung mga specific
33:06.2
amendments or revisions.
33:08.2
Kasi, by the way, yung
33:10.2
People's Initiative is only for amendment.
33:12.2
Hindi pwede for revision
33:14.2
of the Constitution, as you know.
33:16.2
So, baka maling lang yung mga kababayan
33:18.2
natin, eh, yun lang pala naman, eh.
33:20.2
Pero saka natin pag-usapan yung
33:24.2
amendments to the Constitution.
33:26.2
Pero yung palang, yung first step na yun,
33:28.2
the means to go there,
33:30.2
is already wrong.
33:32.2
It's already wrong.
33:36.2
very surprised if the
33:44.2
O sige, Sir. Medyo mahaba-habawi
33:46.2
yung pag-gagawin natin pa
33:48.2
discussion regarding this, no? Lalagyan natin
33:50.2
ng part 2 itong ating discussion. Pero
33:52.2
let's leave it at that, no? Maraming maraming
33:54.2
salamat po, Atty. Christian Monzod,
33:56.2
for joining us tonight
33:58.2
sa Facts First. Regards po kay
34:00.2
Ma'am Winnie. Long time no see din.
34:04.2
Okay. Thank you. You're welcome.
34:06.2
But remember, tell our
34:08.2
people, don't sign.
34:12.2
yung people's initiative.
34:14.2
Okay? Thank you very much.
34:20.2
Christian Monzod.
34:22.2
Isa po siya sa mga sumulat
34:26.2
kasalukuyang konstitusyon.
34:28.2
Ayan. Ang ganda yung mga inputs niya, no?
34:30.2
Kaya ako po siya in-invite kasi nga
34:32.2
miski very technical yung discussion.
34:34.2
Sabi ko sa kanya, Sir, gabi natin very,
34:36.2
you know, conversational yung discussion
34:38.2
kasi maraming mga
34:40.2
pwedeng mag-exploit
34:42.2
nitong ginagawang effort na ito
34:44.2
ngayon. Tapos, syempre, eh,
34:46.2
public service na rin po doon sa mga
34:48.2
trolls na dinudugo yung ilong gabi-gabi
34:50.2
sa tuwing pinag-uusapan po
34:52.2
natin yung mga bagay na komplikado.
34:54.2
O tulad ng sinabi niya, ingat kayo.
34:56.2
Pag meron lumapit sa inyo, kunwari,
34:58.2
barangay captain nyo, local leaders,
35:00.2
mga sugo na inyong congressmen,
35:02.2
o mga mayor, o governor,
35:04.2
ingat-ingat kayo, no? Sabi niya, wag kayong
35:06.2
pipirma dyan. Naintindihan nyo,
35:08.2
sana malinaw po sa lahat yung pinag-uusapan, no?
35:10.2
Kasi ang effort po is to
35:14.2
sign, no? Pipirmahan
35:16.2
yung isang form, tapos
35:18.2
ang sinusulong nila kasi,
35:22.2
linawin o palitan
35:24.2
yung provision ng konstitusyon,
35:28.2
yung mga senador at saka yung mga
35:30.2
member ng mababang kapulungan o ng
35:32.2
House of Representatives, in short, yung ating
35:36.2
boboto sila jointly.
35:38.2
Kunwari, sa anumang pagbabago sa konstitusyon.
35:40.2
Ang problema, ilan ba yung senador natin?
35:42.2
24. Ilan po ba yung
35:44.2
members ng House of Representatives?
35:46.2
Nearly 300 or around 300.
35:48.2
Pag pinagsama niya po yung
35:52.2
ang dali pong i-overwhelm o lamunin
35:54.2
ng boto ng House.
35:58.2
nagkaroon ng senado. Yun po yung pinapaliwanag niya
36:00.2
kanina. Yung system of checks and
36:02.2
balances, meron po nun
36:04.2
within the legislature itself.
36:08.2
nandun to also check and balance
36:10.2
what members of the House are doing.
36:12.2
In the same way na kung meron
36:14.2
pag-abuso, for instance, yung mga member
36:16.2
ng senado, nandun din po yung mababang
36:18.2
kapulungan o yung, naka-offend sila
36:20.2
sa mababang kapulungan, pero saka na natin
36:22.2
pag-uusapan yung history kung bakit
36:24.2
ginagamit natin yung mababang kapulungan. Pero that's
36:26.2
not in any way meant to
36:32.2
the importance of the House of Representatives.
36:34.2
In the same way na yung members
36:36.2
ng House of Representatives,
36:38.2
ginagamit din po nila yung prinsipyo ng checks and
36:40.2
balance doon po sa mga
36:42.2
member ng senado. Kaya ingat po kayo.
36:44.2
Ang problema, pag pinayagan po sila to
36:46.2
vote jointly, e para ka pa
36:48.2
nagkaroon ng bicameral setup.
36:50.2
Ginagamit yun sa isang
36:52.2
unilateral, ibig sabihin isang
36:54.2
kapulungan lang. E dalawa nga yung kapulungan mo e.
36:56.2
E parang tinanggalin mo ng karapatan
36:58.2
o kapangyarihan yung mga senador.
37:00.2
Kaya importante po
37:02.2
yan. Pag pinapirma kayo
37:04.2
sa isang people's initiative para sabihin
37:06.2
o panitan natin yung provision ng
37:08.2
Constitution para ang gawin natin,
37:10.2
payagan natin na bumoto
37:12.2
as one yung Senate at saka yung
37:14.2
House of Representatives. Ano mang pagbabago ng
37:16.2
Constitution, e delikado po yan.
37:20.2
I don't know about you pero mukhang mahirap
37:22.2
pong pagkatiwalaan yung maraming member
37:30.2
Pwede nga yun, sinasabing nila,
37:32.2
gusto lang po natin palitan yung mga economic
37:34.2
provisions. Pag binuksan na po yung
37:36.2
Constitution, yung po yung tinatawag na plenary
37:40.2
may kapangyarihan para
37:42.2
palitan yung ilang bahagi ng ating
37:44.2
Constitution, pwede na lang na-invoke yung
37:46.2
plenary powers. Teka, teka.
37:48.2
Wala kaming pakialam kung sa mga press releases
37:50.2
sa mga news reports or interviews,
37:52.2
sinabi nung ilan sa amin
37:54.2
na ilang bahagi lang ng Constitution
37:56.2
yung papalitan, e hindi. Nandito na tayo.
37:58.2
Binuksan na natin yung Constitution.
38:00.2
Gawin na natin lahat. E paano kung
38:02.2
mag-decide sila? Tanggalin ang term limits.
38:04.2
Up to sawa. Hanggat
38:06.2
binoboto yung mga
38:08.2
kongresista, for instance. Tanggalin
38:10.2
yung term limits. Diba ngayon?
38:12.2
Ang term limit natin is up to three terms.
38:14.2
So, three years each.
38:16.2
Hanggang nine years lang. O.
38:18.2
After nun, magpapahinga si
38:20.2
congressman, papatakbuhin yung asawa, yung anak,
38:22.2
kapatid, pinsan. In short,
38:24.2
kamag-anak. Tapos, siguro
38:26.2
buong henerasyon. Sila-sila lang.
38:28.2
Yung namumuno dun.
38:30.2
Bakit po ba nangyayari yun? Kanina may
38:32.2
nagkocomment dito mukhang bayarang troll.
38:34.2
Kinagtatanggol yung political dynasties.
38:36.2
Ang problema rito,
38:38.2
wala ka na nakitang muka
38:42.2
ilang probinsya. Wala ka na nakita sa
38:44.2
maraming probinsya. Actually, sa isang
38:46.2
pag-aaral, I think this
38:54.2
pag-aaral na ito si
38:56.2
Dr. Julio Tijanqui.
38:58.2
Lumalabas na more than 70% ng
39:00.2
Congress ang galing
39:02.2
sa political dynasties. That
39:04.2
was in 2019. Imagine ninyo,
39:06.2
2023 na po ngayon. Mga lalo
39:08.2
po nagtabaan. Meron pa pong
39:10.2
diba, previous study, Ateneo.
39:16.2
Kung gaano kataba yung
39:18.2
political dynasty, ganun din kahirap
39:20.2
yung kanilang lugar. Yung pag-aaral
39:22.2
when it comes to fat
39:24.2
and thin dynasties.
39:26.2
Tingnan nyo ba yung mga dynasties sa lugar nyo, no?
39:28.2
Pare-paro hinakikita nyo yung pagmumuka.
39:30.2
Kaya magingat po kayo, no? Huwag kayo
39:32.2
magpapadala sa mga simplistic na mga
39:34.2
narratives, no? Kunwari may makakita kayo sinasabi.
39:36.2
Eh, kaya tayo hindi umunlad dahil sa
39:38.2
konstitusyon. Tingnan nyo muna yung pagmumuka
39:40.2
ng mga politiko nyo, no? Mga
39:44.2
Parang mas malino
39:46.2
yata ang dahilan kung bakit
39:48.2
hindi umundad yung Pilipino, yung mga Pilipinas.
39:52.2
greed, tulad na binabanggit
39:54.2
ni Atty. Christian Monzod. I completely agree,
39:58.2
Sobrang katakawan, kasugapaan
40:00.2
ng ating mga politiko,
40:02.2
ng ating mga malalaking negosyante,
40:06.2
napapag-iwanan yung marami
40:08.2
sa ating mga kababayan. At tingnan nyo
40:10.2
pa po ito, no? Ilan po ba sa ating
40:12.2
mga malalaking negosyante yung talagang
40:18.2
legislature? Diba?
40:20.2
Ilan po ba? Siguro hindi. I don't think
40:22.2
to name names, no? Yung mga malalaking
40:24.2
negosyante na talagang tumatakbo sa posisyon,
40:26.2
hindi naman para lang
40:28.2
magsulong ng reforma, diba? O
40:32.2
In truth, para protectahan yung kanilang
40:34.2
negosyo. Kasi nga, kung dati
40:36.2
ka negosyante, kesa magmanikluhod
40:38.2
ka doon sa mga nasa
40:40.2
kapangyarihan sa gobyerno, sa legislature,
40:42.2
para magpasa ng batas,
40:44.2
kung hindi magpasa ng batas
40:46.2
para protectahan yung sarili mong
40:50.2
may pera ka naman, di ikaw na yung tumakbo.
40:52.2
Hindi ka na makikiusap sa mga politiko.
40:54.2
Diba ganyan ang nangyayari?
40:56.2
Meron din po tayong
40:58.2
tinatawag na regulatory
41:00.2
capture, diba? At yung mga
41:02.2
regulators natin ay hawak na po ng mga
41:04.2
malalaking negosyo.
41:06.2
Kaya napakabigat ang problema dito
41:08.2
sa ating bansa, eh. Pero
41:10.2
of course, ang Constitution natin hindi po
41:12.2
siya perfecto. Maraming improvements na pwedeng
41:14.2
gawin. Pero kung pagbabasihan
41:16.2
po natin yung track record nung
41:22.2
natin na mahirap pagkatiwalaan, eh
41:24.2
talagang hirap po pagkatiwalaan nila
41:28.2
kung sakaling papalitan nila
41:30.2
yung ating Constitution, diba?

charter change na yan. Tsaka
43:24.2
syempre, yung discussion dito sa charter
43:26.2
change, hindi naman pwedeng pag-usapan yan

nang hindi natin pinag-uusapan yung
43:30.2
kiss-kissan sa pagitan ng
43:32.2
mga Marcos tsaka mga Duterte.
43:36.2
Hindi pwedeng parang ano tayo,
