WHAT:

MEDIA BRIEFING OF THE MAGNIFICENT 7

WHEN:

21 May 2019 (Tuesday) at 2:00 PM

WHERE:

PRESS CONFERENCE ROOM

AGENDA:

1. Like Caesar’s wife, the election process should be above suspicion. The seven-hour delay in transmission of results and other glitches like defective VCMs and SD cards are unacceptable. Bottlenecks invariably occur in EDSA but must not congest the automated election process.

2. Draconian/regressive measures like: (a) revival of the death penalty; (b) lowering of the age of criminal responsibility; and (c) anti-people amendments to the Human Security Act must be rejected by the Senate.

3. The amendment to the Public Service Act, which allows aliens and foreign corporations to own and operate public utilities previously reserved for Filipino citizens or corporations, must also be rejected by the Senate. A prior constitutional amendment is necessary and indispensable.

4. The 18thCongress must guarantee an authentic minority leader.

5. No to Con-Ass and Federalism.
