Win transcript ambush interview on the mandatory ROTC bill
SENATE OF THE PHILIPPINES

SEN WIN: I think the Department of National Defense (DND) ginagawan na ng paraan [to certify the mandatory ROTC bill as urgent] but if ever na ma-sponsoran ito on Monday pero marami pang clarifications at amendments ang mga kasamahan natin, mahihirapan na tayong maaprubahan ito sa 17th Congress. So, the only chance na maaprubahan ito ay kapag na certify na as urgent.

Q: So on Monday mag sponsorship speech?

SEN WIN: Yes, oo--

Q: Gist?

SEN WIN: May tatlong salient points ito; number one it will be implemented sa grades 11 and 12, number two may grievance committee sa bawat eskwelahan kung merong pang-aabuso o problema mareresolba kaagad, at number three hindi ito purely military training meron din itong disaster preparedness at discipline concepts para maging mas matibay pa ang disiplina sa ating mga bata.

Q: Expecting oppositions?

SEN WIN: Definitely, maraming clarifications na mangyayari dahil nga before ay ginawa itong optional at ngayon ibabalik ito sa mandatory. So maraming magiging clarificatory questions ang ating mga kasamahan.

Q: Are you asking the Executive to certify this as urgent?

SEN WIN: Yes, I'm asking the Executive to certify this as urgent para maka-skip tayo nung three-day ruling.

Q: Sin tax malabo na?

SEN WIN: Depende rin, may usapan kami with Secretary Dominguez.
