THE EVILS IN PNOY'S EMERGENCY POWERS!

This is HOW EVIL the emergency powers PNoy is demanding to deal with a SUPPOSED BUT STILL UNEXPLAINED AND UN-CLARIFIED electricity shortage next year:

In a story in manilastandardtoday.com, Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares said a copy of the joint resolution which he managed to obtain shows that:

The people would pay for power whether or not it is actually consumed.

The government can spend TAXPAYERS’ MONEY TO REHABILITATE, REPAIR AND IMPROVE PLANTS OWNED BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR.  

We’re the CUSTOMERS, WE WILL BE PAYING HIGHER ELECTRICITY charges and yet, it’s still US WHO WILL SPEND for the NEEDS of the SOURCES of the MORE EXPENSIVER POWER we will use.

As we say in Tagalog, DOBLE PAHIRAP, DOBLE KALBARYO and yet  it’s PERFECTLY ALRIGHT WITH PNOY.

The budget for the emergency powers will come from the Malampaya fund, which has NEVER BEEN TOUCHED DESPITE THE POWER SHORTAGE in Mindanao and other areas for the past year or two, and the NON-REPAIR AND REHABILITATION of state-owned power plants.

If it’s for PNoy’s emergency powers, Malampaya CAN AND WILL BE TAPPED. If it’s for the quick relief of the people’s power woes, PNoy WOULDN’T TAKE EVEN A PESO FROM IT.

The emergency powers will last up to July 31, 2015 or nine months, three times longer than what the proponents had asked for. And there’s NO JUSTIFICATION for it.

Permits will be bypassed, even if doing so can destroy the power grid and cause blackouts since new plants won’t have to undergo the required grid impact study.

Under the rules of Congress, emergency powers cannot be passed in the House of Representatives alone. A bill or resolution should first be deliberated upon at the committee level and then at the plenary.

But more than a month after the NON-STOP THREATS by Energy Sec. Jericho Petilla of a power crisis next year, Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares said the draft of the joint resolution for emergency powers for PNoy HAS NOT BEEN SUBMITTED yet to the House committee on energy.

And as we all know by now, PNoy himself is DEMANDING emergency powers and has warned Congress that they  will be the ones to blame if they don’t give in to him IMMEDIATELY and brownouts strike next year.

TO HELL with the rules. He wants emergency powers NOW, period.  And he’s not giving up on being PRESIDENT AGAIN in 2016.

We only have two choices: CONTINUATION OR END of our ongoing NIGHTMARE.
