RESUMPTION OF THE PRIVILEGE HOUR On motion of Rep. Bondoc, there being no objec-

tion, the Body resumed the Privilege Hour.


MANIFESTATION OF REP. VILLARIN Thereupon, Rep. Tom S. Villarin sought recogni-

tion from the Chair on a question of personal and col-lective privilege.

SUSPENSION OF SESSION The session was suspended at 5:02 p.m., upon mo-

tion of Rep. Bondoc.

RESUMPTION OF SESSION The session resumed at 5:05 p.m.

REMARKS OF REP. BONDOC Rep. Bondoc stated that the parliamentary status

was that the Body resumed the Privilege Hour after which Rep. Villarin sought recognition on a question of personal and collective privilege regarding the party-list system. He said that he had prevailed upon Rep. Villarin to follow the order of registrants under the Privilege Hour and give way to other Members who had been waiting for their chance to speak. He then thanked Rep. Villarin for his indulgence and as-sured the latter of a chance to take the floor.

The Chair noted the remarks of Rep. Bondoc. Thereafter, on motion of Rep. Bondoc, the Chair

recognized Rep. Ariel B. Casilao from Anakpawis Party-List for his privilege speech.

PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. CASILAO

At the outset, Rep. Casilao congratulated Presi-dent Rodrigo Roa Duterte for delivering his first State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA) and commended Speaker Pantaleon D. Alvarez and the House leader-ship and Secretariat for successfully hosting the mean-ingful and historic SONA. He also commended the 3,000-strong Lumad, Moro and farmer contingents from Mindanao who joined the week-long caravan to Manila in support of the progressive policies promised by President Duterte.

Thereupon, Rep. Casilao spoke on the issue of the

resumption of the peace talks between the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) and the government especially on matters pertaining to social economic reforms which is crucial in solving the root causes of the more than four-decades of armed conflict between the government and the CPP-NPA-NDF.

He stressed that he had personally witnessed the

rights of the farmers and Lumads to their lands being violently repressed by past administrations and coun-terinsurgency operations that led to massive militari-zation, extrajudicial killings, evacuation, and other forms of human rights violations. As such, he said that they remain on the positive outlook of expressing sup-port on the resumption of the formal peace talks set on August 20, 2016 in Oslo, Norway even though Presi-dent Duterte declared the lifting of the ceasefire agree-ment.

As militarization and abuses against the people

continue especially among the Lumad and farmer communities, Rep. Casilao enjoined the Members to support 1) the peace agreement between the NDFP and the government especially the socioeconomic re-form agenda on agrarian reform, national industriali-zation, wage and land reform for the indigenous peo-ples (IPs), and 2) the effort to release all political pris-oners, including the NDFP consultants, which is a very important factor in building a more favorable condition for the success of the peace negotiation. He expressed hope that the Duterte Administration can play an active and significant role in the pursuit of peace in the country.

REFERRAL OF REP. CASILAO’S PRIVILEGE SPEECH

On motion of Rep. Bondoc, there being no objec-

tion, the Body referred Rep. Casilao’s privilege speech to the Committee on Rules.

Subsequently, on motion of Rep. Bondoc, the

Chair recognized Rep. Gabriel H. Bordado Jr. from the Third District of Camarines Sur for his privilege speech.

PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. BORDADO

Rep. Bordado, in rejoicing over the President’s crusade against illegal drugs and program to overhaul the Philippine railways system, among other things, expressed support thereto but emphasized the need to put in place systems and mechanisms to protect inno-cent and helpless people.

He also underscored how the Philippine National

Railways, which is vital to the development of his re-gion, has remained in perpetual state of disrepair de-spite the huge amount of money that the national gov-ernment has allocated for its rehabilitation in the past.

As he commended the President for “walking the

extra mile” in his efforts to solve the insurgency prob-lem, he reiterated his support for the Administration’s goal of achieving progress and peace through legisla-tive measures.


REFERRAL OF REP. BORDADO’S PRIVILEGE SPEECH

On motion of Rep. Bondoc, there being no objec-tion, the Body referred Rep. Bordado’s privilege speech to the Committee on Rules.

PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. BELARO

Recognized by the Chair on motion of Rep. Bon-doc, Rep. Salvador B. Belaro Jr. from Party-List 1-Ang Edukasyon focused on President Duterte’s recent statement that the party-list system has been abused and has become a mockery of the law. He noted that said comment was followed by ascerbic bashings of the system in Facebook and social media that prompted supporters of his party-list group to issue a statement in defense of its members. He added that on behalf of 1-Ang Edukasyon Party-List, he took excep-tion to the President’s opinion and stressed that his party-list group’s presence in Congress is not a mock-ery of the law. This, as he underscored the following points: 1) around 278,693 Filipinos voted for his party-list organization because they believe in its in-tention and platform in the field of education; 2) the party-list system is an equalizing measure and a legal innovation in sync with the democratization of power and promotion of social justice; 3) his group’s nomi-nees in the last party-list elections were self-made per-sons who are pillars of the education sector; and 4) he had filed 30 bills and resolutions fostering, empower-ing, and protecting education, among others.

He then urged his fellow party-list Representa-

tives to respond accordingly to what he referred to as “a crisis in the image of the party-list system in gen-eral,” by 1) educating the public on the importance of the system, 2) showcasing its accomplishments thus far; and 3) raising the bar of what previous party-list groups in Congress have done. REFERRAL OF REP. BELARO’S PRIVILEGE SPEECH

On motion of Rep. Sherwin N. Tugna, there being no objection, the Body referred the privilege speech of Rep. Belaro to the Committee on Rules. PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. SY-ALVARADO

Upon recognition by the Chair, Rep. Jose Antonio “Kuya Jonathan” R. Sy-Alvarado from the First Dis-trict of Bulacan called for the proper implementation of Republic Act No. 10586 also known as the “Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act of 2013.” This, as he cited statistics and reports on road safety and road ac-cidents due to drunk driving or driving under the in-

fluence of drugs and similar substances; mentioned re-cent newspaper reports on road safety and road rage; and informed his colleagues of a vehicular accident in-volving him and a policeman in Calumpit, Bulacan which required him to wear a neck brace for at least five months. As he called on the people to faithfully adhere to the road safety laws in order to save lives, he likewise seek stiffer penalties for those who will violate the law. As such, he asked that he be allowed to be a coauthor of House Bill No. 5, amending RA No. 10586 to impose higher penalties for violations thereof.

With the reported increase in number of accidents related to alcohol intoxication and drugs, Rep. Sy-Al-varado earnestly appealed on the need for government to strengthen its advocacy on road safety to lessen the deaths attributed to drunk or drugged driving. REFERRAL OF PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. SY-ALVARADO

On motion of Rep. Tugna, there being no objec-tion, the Body referred Rep. Sy-Alvarado’s privilege speech to the Committee on Rules.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF GUESTS

At this point, Rep. Tugna acknowledged the pres-ence in the Session Hall of guests of the Makabayan Party-List Bloc.

Thereafter, on motion of Rep. Tugna, the Chair recognized Rep. Carlos Isagani T. Zarate form Party-List Bayan Muna for his privilege speech.

PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. ZARATE

Rep. Zarate delved into the Enhanced Defense

Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) which Bayan Muna and other nationalist organizations have wanted to be scrapped. He said that EDCA is not good for the coun-try because this would only open the Philippines to America for their use in any way they wish. He further said that EDCA will give American troops the power to stay permanently on the agreed locations on rota-tional basis. This, he averred, would just bring back the American bases to the country which the Filipinos had fought for to be ousted.

Rep. Zarate pointed out that the nullification of EDCA will be a big challenge for President Duterte’s Administration who had said earlier on that he would only recognize treaties in accordance with the peo-ple’s welfare.


REFERRAL OF REP. ZARATE’S PRIVILEGE SPEECH

On motion of Rep. Tugna, there being no objec-

tion, the Body referred the privilege speech of Rep. Zarate to the Committee on Rules.

Thereafter, the Chair recognized Rep. Emmeline

Y. Aglipay-Villar from DIWA Party-List for her priv-ilege speech, upon recognition of Rep. Tugna.

PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. AGLIPAY-VILLAR

Rep. Aglipay-Villar, in joining President Duterte

in his fight to end contractualization schemes that rob workers of their rights promised them under the Con-stitution and under the Labor Code, said that she will continue the fight against rampant exploitative con-tractualization schemes that undermine the dignity of workers.

At the start of her first term as the Representative

of DIWA Party-List, she stated that she made the end of labor contractualization as her priority because it was being used to circumvent the worker’s constitu-tionally enshrined right to security of tenure. She added that the bill she filed in the 15th and the 16th Congress to correct the loopholes in the Labor Code to end such constitutional practice, was ap-proved only up to the Committee level and that she would re-file it in the present Congress.

After citing the fact that more than one-third of

the labor force are not regular employees, Rep. Aglipay discussed the three forms of exploitative con-tractualization that demand redress, namely, labor-only contracting, fixed-term employment, and the abuse of the probationary status of workers. She pro-posed to change the legal framework for employment by adopting several measures such as limiting fixed term contracts or automatic termination and invalidat-ing the termination of probationary employees when done to prevent security of tenure. She explained, however, that she did not intend to do away with fixed-term employment or job contracting but only to clarify which jobs may be legitimately contracted out and which ones should be done by regular workers.

To conclude, Rep. Aglipay asked her colleagues

to work for the plight of the labor force because secur-ing their jobs is securing the future of the nation.

REFERRAL OF REP. AGLIPAY-VILLAR’S PRIVILEGE SPEECH

On motion of Rep. Tugna, there being no objec-tion, the Body referred Rep. Aglipay-Villar’s privi-lege speech to the Committee on Rules.

PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. DE JESUS

Next recognized by the Chair upon Rep. Tugna’s motion, Rep. Emmi A. De Jesus from the Party-List Gabriela stressed that the state of women reflects the true state of a nation. Speaking in Filipino, she dis-cussed the plight of this sector which includes issues of low wages, demolition, and lack of job opportuni-ties and basic services in relocation centers. She re-minded the Members about President Duterte’s pro-nouncements regarding the uplifting of the people’s welfare as she informed them of a women’s summit that was recently held in Davao that came up with a comprehensive agenda summed up in the word “CHANGE”. She then explained what each letter of the word “Change” stood for and stressed the mandate of her Party-List which is for the advancement of women and that they would fight any abuse against them. She stated that it is their vision that in the next SONA and especially in the coming State of the Women Address, the welfare of women would be ad-dressed.

REFERRAL OF REP. DE JESUS’ PRIVILEGE SPEECH

On motion of Rep. Tugna, there being no objec-tion, the Body referred the privilege speech of Rep. De Jesus to the Committee on Rules.

Thereafter, on further motion of Rep. Tugna, the

Chair recognized Rep. Arlene D. Brosas also from Gabriela Party-List for her privilege speech.

PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. BROSAS

As a child rights advocate, Rep. Brosas spoke on

the issue of lowering the age of criminal responsibility wherein she discussed the economic aspect and social behavior of youth offenders. As she cited the position of the Psychological Association of the Philippines, the SalinLahi Alliance for Children’s Concern, and the Philippine Action for Youth Offenders, she pointed out that lowering the age of criminal respon-sibility to nine years old has no basis and would be making the situation worse and would create a far bleaker and darker future for the generations to come. She stressed that youth offenders should be looked at as victims and not as criminals.


As such and as the Philippines is a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, Rep. Brosas enjoined her colleagues to probe into the implementation of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act and to help strengthen the government’s capacity to respond to the problem of youth offenders by estab-lishing more halfway homes and empowering social workers on the ground before putting the blame on the children themselves.

REFERRAL OF REP. BROSAS’ PRIVILEGE SPEECH


tion, the Body referred the privilege speech of Rep. Brosas to the Committee on Rules.

Thereafter, on motion of Rep. Tugna, the Chair

recognized Rep. Tom S. Villarin of Akbayan Party-List to deliver his privilege speech.

PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. VILLARIN

In reaction to the President’s statement the previ-ous week as quoted by the media that he would abolish the party-list system of representation in Congress un-der a new Constitution, Rep. Villarin emphasized the system’s composition and major role in the pursuit of political and electoral reforms as provided by the 1987 Constitution, particularly with respect to the minority parties vis-à-vis the traditionally dominant parties, and the representation of the various marginalized sectors.

As he underscored how the party-list system has

benefitted the people through bills and resolutions that are of national in scope and sectoral in representation, he however noted the rise of new party-list groups and the need to get into the winning circle because of in-creasing cost of campaign. He suggested that Con-gress look into the merits of enacting a comprehensive campaign finance law and amending the Party-List System Act, this as he concluded that abolishing the party-list system is out of the question.

MANIFESTATION OF REP. LAGMAN

At this point, Rep. Edcel C. Lagman sought recog-nition from the Chair.

MOTION OF REP. TUGNA

Rep. Tugna however moved to refer Rep. Vil-

larin’s privilege speech to the Committee on Rules.

REMARKS OF REP. LAGMAN

Rep. Lagman said that the referral of said speech should be made after his interpellation.

WITHDRAWAL OF REP. TUGNA’S MOTION

Subsequently, Rep. Tugna withdrew his motion to refer Rep. Villarin’s speech.

INTERPELLATION OF REP. LAGMAN

Thereafter, on motion of Rep. Bondoc, the Chair recognized Rep. Lagman, who initially opined that the party-list system should not be consigned to the killing fields but instead strengthened and given perfecting amendments to put premium to its original concept of helping the marginalized and underrepresented sectors through a representation in Congress.

To the queries of Rep. Lagman, Rep. Villarin

agreed that a number of decisions rendered by the Su-preme Court were inconsistent with each other; with regard to the Supreme Court decision on Atong

Paglaum case, that the second group known as lacking in well-defined political constituencies was not actu-ally a separate group because the phrase “lacking well-defined political constituencies” refers to the margin-alized and underrepresented sectors; that there is only one group entitled to party-list representation and these are the marginalized and underrepresented sec-tors which do not have well-defined political constit-uencies.

In closing his interpellation, Rep. Lagman

thanked Rep. Villarin and opined that instead of abol-ishing the party-list system, Congress should intro-duce perfecting amendments to the existing law. Moreover, he proposed that the Members should re-view the ambivalent and conflicting decisions of the Supreme Court. Rep. Villarin agreed therewith and said that he fully supports Rep. Lagman’s proposition.

REFERRAL OF REP. VILLARIN’S PRIVILEGE SPEECH


tion, the Body referred the privilege speech of Rep. Villarin and the interpellation thereon to the Commit-tee on Rules.

ing no objection, the Body terminated the Privilege Hour.
