Okay, game, game, game

This is it

Let's get the ball rolling

Okay guys, this is it, this is it

Balikan natin ito, straight to the point na tayo

Ito na, pag-usapan natin itong

Tambalos-Los context

So kanina dun sa, well, pre-vlog natin

Pinag-usapan natin yung buong konteksto

Na itong discussion na ito, anong relevance na ito

At matagal ko sinasabing na may iba dyan

May balak maging Prime Minister

At may iba dyan may interest na magpupush tayo

For a parliamentary system dahil nga

About calculus about 2028

Or at least, based on our understanding

Of what 2028 could look like

Medyo debatable yan

Okay, ito, ito, ito, pag-usapan natin ito

Mga kameta

Importante ito

Okay

This is very, very important

So, as you remember

Si Pantaleon Alvarez

Was the former Speaker of the House

And one of the reason why it's hard to forget him

Is because of what happened

During the, if I'm not mistaken

Third State of the Nation address of President

Di gong when nakaroon ng legislative coup

Congressional coup

Na temporarily, itong natanggal ito

Si Pantaleon Alvarez

Si Arroyo pumasok

And then parang nire-reverse

And then eventually si Arroyo naging Speaker of the House

And then natanggal ulit

Naalala nyo yung gulo na yan

During the time na yan

Now, obviously

May pakanan daw dun sa pagtanggal kay Pantaleon Alvarez

Ay mga tinatawag na mga

Powerpuff Girls

So, alright

May mga

Three powerful girls

Four women

Diyan

And of course, one of them is

Allegedly

The current Vice President

Now, dito sa interview

May kita natin yung changing of

Alignments and

And realignments dito sa politika natin

And this is something important

Because if you remember

Si Pantaleon Alvarez actually endorsed

Lenny Robredo dun sa last year's elections

At hindi niya in-endorse yung UNITEAM

Probably it had to do also about that whole

Powerpuff Girls

And that whole coup situation

But now, edyo

Iba na naman yung inip ng hangin

Alright?

Okay

Eh, nakikita ko na ito

Hindi naman ito

People's Initiative

Hindi ito

P.I.

P.I. diba?

People's Initiative

Hindi

P.I. ito

P.I.

What is that?

Ambalus-Ross Initiative

So, are you referring to specifically who?

Be specific, sir

Alam mo, Karen

Kilala natin, no?

Lahat yan

May ambisyon maging presidente

Ang problema

May ambisyon

May ambisyon

May ambisyon

Eh, kahit sa survey ng Sen. Bolos, ulilat

Okay, alright

Now, we're a news program

So, let's be specific

I'll ask you

Yan ang gusto kayo

Sorry ha, hindi ito buljakan

Hindi ito, ano ha

Medyo, ano, mag-blind item

Alright? Okay

Pag-blind item, showbiz na yan masyado

Let's go straight to the point

Are you referring to the Speaker of the House?

Yes

Okay

So, you, you know, you're a speaker of the House

You used the term Tambalus Laws

That was a similar term

used by Vice President Sara Duterte

referring to an unnamed person, right?

Are you and Vice President Sara Duterte now allies?

I want to ask you first, directly

Are you and the Vice President now allies?

We have not talked yet, no?

Pero, Karen, if you will ask me if I will support her

I will support her

I will support her

Categorically, yes

I will support her

For one reason

She is from Mindanao

No matter what happens

Her heart is still in Mindanao

Alright, okay

So, let's move forward

So, you say you haven't spoken

But you will support the Vice President

So, do you believe then

What you were saying

Is the People's Initiative

Is it a People's Initiative?

And you believe it is instigated by the Speaker?

Is this it?

Yes, I believe so

Okay, but what proof do you have of that?

It's been denied over and over by the majority

Alright, okay

So, let me just go straight to this article and all for you guys

So, we can go into this

This is quite interesting

Because we're seeing people associated with former President Duterte

People are still close to President Duterte

People are still close to President Duterte

And some of them were now

Also aligning with the daughter

Of the former President

And the current Vice President

All of them going against charter change

Which is something that you'll find interesting

Since, alam naman natin

Pagdating sa mga DDS

Mga supporters

Ito yung mga excited talaga

Na mag-charter change

Ito yung mga nagsasabi

Na mag-charter change tayo

Mala Switzerland na tayo

Mala Singapore na tayo

Yung mga ganyan type na

Alam mo na

Yung parang sinabi mo

Pag kinaya mo pagshoot naman

Ni Michael Jordan

Nilabas mo yung dila mo

Tapos nag-shoot ka

Maging kasing galing ka ni Michael Jordan

Yung mga ganyan level of analysis

But anyway

Ito, ito, ito

So, pag-usapan natin ito

So, Davao del Norte

First District Representative

O nga pala, Davao ano nang pala siya

Congressman pala siya

That's an interesting thing

Kasi may nakita rin akong post

People say, pag Davao, Davao

Automatically they assume

It's just the Dutertes there

But actually there are many, many other players

Nograleses, and then may Alvarez, etc

So, actually the broader, the greater Davao region

It's very complicated

Kasi parang Davao City lang alam natin, diba?

But the Davao politics is quite interesting

And also, Eastern Mindanao kind of politics

Is quite interesting

Dun sa mga hindi masyado nag-appreciate

Yung mga ibang Imperial Manila mag-isip

Yan, yung mga gano'n, alright?

Ito, ito, ito

Tignan natin

So, I wanna go systematically through this

Mga kameta

Kasi

This just tells you the nature of Philippine politics

Diba?

You really don't know if ang awayan talaga is

Ang awayan sa Pilipinas ay prinsipyo

Argumento

Or

Interest man lang

But, I find it still interesting

Alright?

Even if it may be just about interest

It's still interesting

Inip ng hangin

Umiiba na naman

Okay, ito

So, Davao del Norte

First District Representative Pantaling Alvarez

On Monday said na

Hindi siya

Wala siyang tiwala

Dito sa

Ongoing efforts na amyendahan

Yung ating saligang batas

So, in that sense, he joins

President of the Senate

Big Zubiri

Who also rejected the people's initiative

Ang sinabi niya

I cannot see the importance of changing the constitution now

They say it is for economic reasons

Is it the people's interest

Or somebody else's interest?

Alright

Which is exactly the question I raised

Noong timing digong

Is this chacha and all about

Really about the Philippine national interest

Etc

Or ito pa

Or this is really more about

Ang interest sa mga tao

Iba dyan who wanna extend their stay in office

Remember

Isa sa mga versions

Na nakita natin ng

Charter change

Was a version that was about to

Remove all sorts of term limits

All sorts of term limits

Sa ating mga politiko

Sino magbe-benefit dyan?

Of course

Yung mga political dynasties

Although

I also mentioned to you

Yung law of unintended consequence

Na nung naglagay tayo ng term limit

Ang ginawa nung iba dyan is

They worked around it by putting

Yung asawa nila

Anak nila

Kabit nila

Anak ng kabit nila

Whatever

But

Doon mo talaga makikita

Ano pa talaga yung interest dito

And of course

Ang argument ni Alvarez here is

This is really about 2028

This is really about

Who will succeed the current president

And in a way

This is about preventing

The daughter of Mindanao

The daughter of the former president

The current vice president

For the country

From becoming the next president

In a sense

Right?

Now

Ano magagawa sa Senado?

So

Hindi lang si Zubiria na dyan

Si

So actually

Nag-join forces na si

Zubiria tsaka Alvarez

And in a sense

I would say

Probably even some of the

Progressive independents in Senate

Also will have an interest

In joining hands here

So yun nga yung sinasabi ko

Na weird eh

Na

Parang nagsasama yung mga DDS

At yung mga ayaw kay BBM

At yung mga

Mga iba na medyo okay kay BBM

Pero may sarili din interest

So ang complicated

Sobrang complicated itong situation na ito

This is a very very evolving situation

Si Robin Padilla naman

Very interesting

Because alam naman natin si

Sen. Robin Padilla

Ito yung naging senador

On more or less single issue

Which is

Gusto niya ng charter change

Ang argument naman ni

Robin Padilla is

Mukhang malabo

Na magkakaroon ng charter change

Ever

If you wanna go through the

Constitutional convention

Format

Or any kind of format

That gives

Senate

It's due

Three-fourths power

In determining whether we move towards

A referendum

And eventual change

In the constitution

Right?

Nalabas ko lang itong isang

Kay

What's his name?

Robin Hood

Padilla

Sabi niya eh

Robin Hood daw

Tawag natin sa panya

Okay

Ito

Guys

The reason I am

Posting it here

I know it slows down

The discussion

But it's because

I wanna tell you guys

And when I discuss something

It's based on

Available evidence

And discussions

And exact codes there

Ayaw ko yung style

You know

I mean

The other day

I just went

Straight

30 minutes

No problem

We can talk about issues

Especially when it's about

My take

But here kasi

Not only is it

A sensitive issue

It's a very important issue

And we wanna be as factual

And accurate as possible

So ito yung huling

Major statement

Ni Robin Hood Padilla

Dito sa issue na yan

Wala

Walang chance yan dito

Sa Senado

Kaya nga

Ang sinisabi ng House

Ay mag people's initiative tayo eh

Kasi wala yan dito

Hindi yan sisikat dito

Tulog na tulog na nga

Ang himbing

Ng aming committee report dyan

Alright

Yung committee report niya dyan sa

Sa constitutional amendments

It has zero chance here

Sa English

That's why the House is calling

For a people initiative

Because that won't be prosper

That won't be

That won't prosper here

Mali naman tong

Our committee report is

On the matter is sound

Slip

Alright

Dadalin natin sa taong bayan

At sa bawat distrito

At kapag nakukuha tayo

12% sa voting population

Ng Pilipinas

Pwede yan

Isama ng commission election

Sa election

Kung iraratify natin yan

And then after that

You'll have a constituent assembly

That gonna ask

To determine the final version

Of a new constitution

Alright

So

In a way you can see that

Robin Hood Padilla

Is kinda okay with it

But I just don't see

Going all the way

100% support for her

Supporting this

Like the other people

I believe that if congressman

Supported the people's initiative

Because it is their district

It would be easy

That's all we need

If you use the people's initiative

You won't need congress

It will go directly to the common elect

If it gets 12% of the vote

Then it will be included

In the 2025 ballot

Ito yung magiging

Essentially for ratification

Na yan referendum

If we wait for congress

It won't happen

It's just pure talk

In here

So essentially

Nag give up na si

Si

Si

Si

Pairing

Robin Hood Padilla

Dito sa chacha

Through

Normal

Normal

Uh

Normal

Channels

But yun nga

I do not expect him also

To be front and center

Supporting this

Dahil nga alam natin

Hindi sinisupport yan

Ng mga ibang DDS

And I'm not

And I doubt that the

Current vice president

Is very much supportive of this

And then alam din natin

Kay

Pagdating kay

Um

Pagdating kay

Robin Hood Padilla

I think

More into federalism siya

Rather than just parliamentary

While alam natin

Yung mga iba

Nagpupush yan sa

People's initiative

So

And nagpupush for

Charter change

Siguro mas interesado

Sa parliamentary

Rather than federalism

Right

Uh

I explained in a separate vlog

Why federalism is not good

For the Philippines

Because

In theory

Everything is nice

Alright

In theory

1989 constitution was

Perfect

But

Problem is praxis

And for you to know

How it operates in praxis

You don't talk to lawyers

You talk to political scientists

You talk to economists

You talk to public

Administration experts

And anyone will tell you

That in a situation

Where by my federalism tayo

Halos sigurado

Nang mangyayari

Mangyayari dyan

Is lalakas lalo

Yung mga trapo

Warlords

Dynasties dyan

Sa mga iba't ibang

Probinsya around the country

Dahil halos magkakaroon sila

Ng king level power

At yung

Imperial Manila

Na parating natin

Sinisisi sa mga kalukuan

Let's not forget

Na Imperial Manila

In many occasions

Is actually funding

Yung mga deficits

Sa tax collections

Sa mga ibang LGUs

Let's not forget

That it had to be

Imperial Manila

Which had to step down

Noong nagkaroon ng

Mamasa pano massacre

Kasi hindi ka pwede

Umasa sa mga

Local na korte

Local na pulis

Dun sa mga ibang lugar

Na totally

Totally

Hawak ng mga warlords

Hindi lang poligadanis

Total warlords

Hindi na natin kailangan

Pangalanan

Alam nyo na sinong mga yan

So

I have serious issue

With federalism

In theory I said

I'm okay with parliamentary

But it has to be

Properly scrutinized

Etc

So

Let me end on this note

I think the best way

To understand

Anong dapat maging

Approach natin dito

Ang

Point of reference ko dito

Is

Yung Maharlika Fund

Alright

So alam ko maraming nanonood dito

Ay hindi masyadong

Ano

Belief dyan sa Maharlika Fund

To put it mildly

Yung iba dyan sobrang critical

Yung iba dyan worried na worried

Na yung Maharlika Fund

Ay gagawin

1MDB style

Yung Malaysian

Corruption Scandal

But this is what I'm gonna say

Yes in theory

I have some questions

With Maharlika Fund

And I'm considering of course

Yung

Alam mo na

Kasaysayan ng mga iba dyan

Ibang pamilya dyan

Parang

I'm not sure about that

Knowing also the weakness

Of ating institutions

Corruption sa itong bansay

Yes

But having said all of that

You have to be

You know

Pag nagpo-political analysis ka

Kasi na totoo

Hindi ka pwede maging

Wishful thinking

Hindi ka pwede maging

Normative

Of course ako

Bilang isang

Well

Idealistic person

Of course may mga mungkahi ako

May mga conviction ako sa buhay

May mga ganun

At the same time

Pag nagpo-political analysis ka

You have to look at things

As they are

So ang basa ko dito is

For a moment

If put aside natin

Yung questions of value judgment

Whether good is good or bad

If you look at it

From a policy analysis point of view

Ang basa ko dito sa Chacha

Is that

We can learn a lot

From the Maharlika Fund episode

Because if you look at

Yung pinakaunang version

Ng Maharlika Fund

And then titignan mo

Yung evolution

Ng Maharlika Fund

Yung mga binago nila

From the Maharlika Fund

Kung nung una

Gusto nila ilagay yung

SSS

Gusto nila ilagay yung

Pension Funds

GSIS

Ganun

And then kung titignan mo

Yung mga provisions nila

Dun sa

For instance

Nung sa una

I think yung presidente

Ang mag-supervise

And then

Tinanggan nila yan

And then pinalitan nila

Yung

Yung governance structure

Ng Maharlika Fund

So if you look at the final version

Of Maharlika Fund

That came out

It may not be still good

For many people

Many people are still critical of it

Many people may question it

May question whether it's needed

But

If

Talagang desidido magpachacha

Yung kasalukuyan na administration

And I suspect they'll be even stronger

After midterm elections

So they'll have the numbers for that

They have the momentum for that

And hindi maging mahirap

Yung kuha ka ng 12%

Of the population

Madali arrange yun actually

If you look at the state of play

Then ang dapat strategy mo dito is

Sabihin mo

Okay

Even if hindi natin ma-stop

Mahinto

Itong

Chacha movement na yan

Ang pwede natin gawin is

At least siguraduin natin na

Yung final version na Chacha na lalabas

Ay hindi yung pinaka-questionable

Pinaka-problematic

Isuscrutinize dapat yan

You have to push back against that

You have to

You have to make sure

Na

You know

Matatanggal yung mga mumbo-jumbo

At iscrutinize na mabuti

Para if ever magkakaroon ng charter change

This is something na more reflective

Ng ating interest

Oy JTS

Alam ko troll ka

Umayos ka dito ha

Don't waste my time here

O yung mga kabubuan na ganyan

Ayun na naman tayo eh

Guys

You were having a proper discussion

Kung hindi kaya na i-process ng ano nyo

O di umalis kayo dito

Di ba?

Hindi na makailangan eh

Okay?

Umayos kayo dyan

Anyway

Balikan natin ito

Yan ang problema

Kaya nga hindi tayo maangat

Dahil pag may nagsasalita ng mati no

Ay tatroll lang natin gano'n

Umayos kayo dito

Hindi eto

Balikan natin ito

So for me

My sense is

Pagdating kay BBM

Susceptible siya sa pressure

At may ikinig yan talaga

Kung organize kayo

And i-push back against it

So even if

Hindi mawawala etong PI na eto

Hindi mawawala etong chacha na eto

At least there's a big big big chance

Na yung final version ng chacha

Ay mas malapit

Dun sa

Nararapat

Sa ating bayan

Kaysa yung hindi

Because

Katulad ng discussion namin

Leloy kagabi

Mukhang inevitable na

At some point

There'll be some sort of

Constitutional change

Siguro amendment

If not total charter change

So the best thing you can do right now

Is to push

For the

Least bad version

If not a really good version of that

Kaya

Instead na maging cynical lang tayo

Or maging complacent

So neither cynical

Nor complacent

Right?

Ang kailangan natin gawin dito

Is to scrutinize it

Push back

Organize and make sure

If chacha happens

At least it's not a really bad chacha

And hopefully

A good chacha

For our country

On that note
