00:00 The Commission on Elections, or COMELEC, said it is ready to accept whatever document Congress
00:05 forwards to them.
00:06 However, COMELEC Chair George Erwin Garcia disclosed that if only a copy of the RBH-7
00:12 from the lower house is submitted with no counterpart document from the Senate, then
00:16 their hands are tied and cannot do anything about it yet.
00:20 He explained they need to have both affirmed resolutions from the Senate and the lower
00:23 house first before they can actually act as mandated by law.
00:28 "We will not do our duty.
00:32 So again, I do not want to pre-empt the action of the Commission and Bank, but what I can
00:38 guarantee to the Filipino people is that we will decide rightly based on law and based
00:45 on what should really be done in accordance with the Constitution."
