The Senate is calling the bluff of the House.
00:09.4
Kasi sabi ng House, we have to go to people's initiative to amend the economic provisions of the Constitution
00:19.3
because the Senate doesn't want to convene as a constituent assembly.
00:26.6
Ayaw ng Senado. We have not received any favorable response from the Senate.
00:33.7
So, linabas ng House itong people's initiative that when the House and the Senate meet as a constituent assembly,
00:47.4
they vote as one jointly.
00:50.4
So, yung 315 votes ng House, ipagsama yun sa 23.
00:56.6
24 votes ng House and you get the majority vote.
01:01.4
Paraging talo ang Senado dyan.
01:03.8
So, the effect of that is to practically disregard the vote of the Senate.
01:12.3
They will always be outnumbered.
01:14.1
So, ano ko dito, pag talagang economic provisions lang ang gusto ng House, bakit pa paligoy-ligoy?
01:26.6
Kasi, there are two options to amend the economic provisions by kahit na people's initiative.
01:39.0
You can amend it directly.
01:41.9
In other words, the people's initiative will say the following articles and sections of the Constitution will be hereby amended.
01:48.9
Or you can approach it this way.
01:56.6
When Congress convenes as a constituent assembly, they will vote as one.
02:03.1
And then, after that, they will meet again as a constituent assembly to amend the Constitution.
02:12.2
Eh, pags two steps, nakaka, it's surprising and very suspicious.
02:18.3
Kasi, yung first step where they will vote as one, binigyan mo ng blank check.
02:25.3
Yung blank check yung Congress to amend the Constitution any way they want because they have the numbers 315 versus 24.
02:35.4
Palaging outnumbered ang Senate.
02:38.1
So, kung talagang gusto mo i-amend ang Constitution, pwede mo naman diretsuhin eh sa people's initiative.
02:44.6
Diretsuhin mo na sa people's initiative.
02:46.3
Itong mga provisions na ito, i-amend natin.
02:50.0
Eh, bakit pa two steps pupunti?
02:52.6
Parang gusto mo, you want to visit?
02:55.1
You want to visit your neighbor, nasa kanan lang ng bahay mo, to the right.
02:59.4
At ang pupunta ka doon, you turn left, you go around the world, parang umabot ka sa kanila.
03:07.9
It doesn't make sense.
03:13.0
Kasi, di ba, you have to be efficient, avoid this waste of time.
03:20.4
At dito talagang you waste a lot of time because two steps yan.
03:25.1
Ngayon naman, ang Senado, just to emphasize that point, they proposed na straight to the point na tayo.
03:32.4
Wala nang PI, wala nang people's initiative.
03:34.8
Ito na, lahat na economic provisions, palitan na natin.
03:39.7
So, it's up to the House now.
03:41.5
If they really want economic provisions, nag-offer na yung Senate na i-amend natin kaagad.
03:48.6
Hindi na tayo paligoy-ligoy pa.
03:51.9
Wala nang two-step, diretsyo.
03:53.6
We will not spend.
03:55.1
We will not spend for people's initiative kasi papayag na kami i-amend yung economic provisions eh.
04:02.6
At saka yung amendment naman proposed ng Senate, it opens up everything, no?
04:11.3
Kasi nakalagay doon, for example, in Article 12, Section 6 on the public utilities, nakalagay doon.
04:25.1
Yung 60-40, required ngayon, will be followed unless otherwise provided by law.
04:33.6
So, Congress can amend it anytime.
04:37.8
Ganyan din yung ibang provisions ang gagawin according to the Senate resolution.
04:44.1
So, if the House will agree to that, tapos na.
04:48.7
Wala na tayong problema.
04:52.1
Wala nang political warfare.
04:55.1
Nagkasundo na yung House at saka Senate, no?
04:59.0
However, from my point of view, personally, I think we should add two conditions.
05:08.4
Unless otherwise provided by law, subject to reciprocity.
05:13.1
Kasi katulad, no?
05:14.6
We open up our telecom industry to the world.
05:19.9
Vietnam will invest here, can buy 100% of our telecom.
05:23.8
Pero hindi tayo pwede bumili.
05:25.7
Kasi sarado sila eh.
05:28.0
So, if we require reciprocity, buksan muna nila yung kanilang industry, telecom industry, before we open up.
05:35.9
In other words, dapat reciprocal.
05:41.2
Kasi in international law, each one is sovereign.
05:46.8
Bakit payagan natin sila to buy 100% of our telecom companies
05:52.8
when we cannot buy into their telecom companies?
05:55.6
Dapat it should be reciprocal.
05:57.0
And that is the policy now of the European Union.
06:00.7
Whenever they enter into a treaty with another country,
06:08.8
they require reciprocity now.
06:10.4
Because that's the only way to require China to open up.
06:14.0
Because China wants to buy into our telecom 100%.
06:19.8
But they cannot even buy a share there in their telecom business, their basic telecom.
06:24.6
Because from their point of view, it's a matter of national security.
06:28.5
So, dapat reciprocal.
06:30.4
Pangalawang kondisyon, alam mo, right now, it requires a constitutional amendment to open up certain industries.
06:41.2
Dapat a little bit, a higher majority should be required when Congress passes it.
06:47.6
Let's say, two-thirds vote of the House and the Senate can open up an industry.
06:54.6
And can amend, can change the requirement in the Constitution.
06:59.0
Hindi naman simple majority lang.
07:01.2
Kasi this is not an ordinary law.
07:03.9
This is special law that is actually deviating from the Constitution.
07:09.9
Under the present Constitution, Congress cannot change that by a simple law.
07:16.5
But they have to go through the process of amending the Constitution.
07:20.4
Now, if we grant them the authority to amend, dapat a little bit higher.
07:24.6
Yung voting requirement, no?
07:28.1
Kasi that's a reserved industry for Filipinos.
07:35.8
If you open it up, dapat mas madaming members of Congress na will approve that.
07:41.8
So, yun lang dalawa.
07:43.2
Subject to two-thirds vote of the House and of the Senate voting separately, no?
