A Proposed Peoples Initiative as a Constitutional

AMENDMENT ONE TO THE PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION

(Re: Election By Regional Senatorial Representation in Congress

And Creation of Federal Regions To Function Administratively to Build Infrastructures)

PREAMBLE

ONE: WHEREAS, The election at large of Senators in the senate who come from a few and

privileged segments of metropolitan society have caused a gross imbalance and underdevelopment

or absence of economic progress in outside regions from said societies;

TWO: WHEREAS, This senatorial imbalance in Congress has resulted in the failure of

exploiting the rich potential opportunities of the natural resources in the outlaying regions of the

country;

THREE: WHEREAS, This senatorial imbalance of representation in Congress has further

created an undue migration and concentration of the people in cities and towns arising from the

neglect of commercial and industrial development in their rural areas of the country;

FOUR: WHEREAS, If the senators who are born, reside and elected from the undeveloped

cities and towns of the districts they represent, it is expected that they will have more natural and

inherent interest to take care of their localities and shall be able to demand politically their fair share

in the budgeting of public funds to underwrite the expenditures for their local projects and further

create employment opportunities for the people in their districts. The further beneficial effect on this

will be less traffic congestions of over saturated cities and towns and shall thereby enhance and fully

activate the flow of commerce in rural areas;

FIVE: WHEREAS, The Senatorial representation for rural localities, specially for the Muslim

Regions, can contribute to the enhancement of unity and better friendly understanding between and

among the different ethnic group in their local communities; and

SIX: WHEREAS, The Senatorial Districts can likewise serve as Federal Regions to function

administratively in building infrastructures in their respective territories,

2. The entire Philippines consists of ____ provinces and ____ cities. They are comprised

of _____ legislative districts and said legislative districts are tabulated sequentially by provinces then

followed also sequentially by cities in alphabetical order under which each legislative district is listed

in this Petition. All the signatures of registered voters in said legislative districts have been gathered

and correspondingly verified and duly certified to by the Local Election Registrars of each Provinces

and Cities. The Certificates of Verification are herewith attached and made part of this petition. The

signature sheets of the petitioners are being kept in the custody of the Local Election Registrars in

support of their respective Certificates of Verification and said signature sheets are ready for

inspection or production if so desired by this Honorable Commission in the respective Local Election

Registrars Office around the country. Petitioners think that it would not be practical to bring in and

attach all signature sheets to this Petition because it would entail truck loads of papers for exhibits

in the office of this Honorable Commission. Therefore, presentation of the Certificates of Verification,

akin to the Certificate of Canvass in counting of electoral votes, is the most practical means in

determining the sufficiency of signatures to support this petition.

3. The pattern of tabulation and listing of collected signatures are as follows:

Name of Province or City, or Combined Province and CityColumn Captions thereunder:Column 1 = Legislative District Name or NumberColumn 2 = Total Registered Voters Per DistrictColumn 3 = Total Signers of Registered Voters Per District Column 4 = Per Cent (%) of Registered Voters Signing Petition Per District

NOTE: Each row or line in Column 4 is at least 3% or more and the overall total

of the signers in each Province or City is at least 12% or more. For provinces and

cities with one (or lone) district, we go for a 12% straight because there is no other

legislative district which a 3% of signatures can be taken from. The 3% per

barangay or per municipality rule does not apply here because this initiative is not

a local initiative. It is an initiative for a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.

Be sure to account the total legislative districts accurately when reflected in

paragraph 2 above. Secure first the information from COMELEC about the total

legislative districts before finalizing and filing of this petition.
