MANILA — Senator Joel Villanueva said that he has proof that the House of Representatives leadership was behind the signature campaign of people’s initiative for Charter change.

Villanueva made the remarks after his office received complaints about the “fake people’s initiative.”

“May mga listahan na po ako, naggagawa na po ako ng listahan – Mayors, even governors, meron na pong mga voicemail na pinapadala, boses ng mga kongresista na tinuturo po ang liderato ng kamara,” Villanueva said.

“Ngayon kung meron po sa inyo na hindi congressman, dito sa balat ng lupa na magsasabing hindi galing sa kanila (House of Representative) o hindi sila ang nagpush nitong ‘people’s initiative’ kuno o nitong ‘pekeng initiative’ mahirap po,” he added.

“Even a congressman is pointing at his leader. May mga voicemail na kilala ko ‘yung boses eh.”

Senator Imee Marcos said that House Speaker Martin Romualdez was involved on the signature campaign.
