The leftist party-list lawmakers have thrown their support to push for a People's initiative by getting the signatures of at least 10 percent of all registered voters and at least 3 percent in each legislative district. This is provided for in Section 32 of Article VI of the 1987 Constitution. This could overturn the House's denial of the franchise.

I say it's disturbing because this could be propaganda by the communists. We all know that the leftist party-list legislators are identified with the communist movement.

The lawmakers are banking on a Social Weather Stations survey that says three out of four Filipinos are in favor of granting the network another 25 years to operate.

Having failed to generate some kind of a "people power" to denounce the alleged assault of press freedom, this is the last ace of the Lopezes - to push for a People's Initiative.
