SPECIAL POWERS. President RodrigoDuterte presides over a meeting with the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases on March 16, 2020. Malacañang photo
Among others, the pertinent provisions included in the proposed bill give Duterte the power to “reprogram, reallocate, and realign” funds in the 2022 budget and reallocate savings in the executive department, includingA letter to Senate President Vicente Sotto III signed by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea cites Section 15, Article VI of the Constitution, which allows the President to call for a special session “at any time.
The bill, if passed in its form, will grant Duterte 18 powers based on Section 23 , Article VI of the Constitution. This provision allows Congress"in times of war or other national emergency" to pass a law authorizing the President to exercise powers necessary to address the objectives of the proposed bill.
In this scenario, management will still be retained by owners of the said business, though they will be under the direction of the President or a designated representative.While Section 17, Article XII allows for such a takeover, this was not cited as basis for such in the proposed bill. Direct LGUs and GOCCs to “revisit their annual budgets and reprogram their priorities in accordance with existing laws” and rules to address the coronavirus outbreakDone deal?
SHIT
NO. Never.
Dictator mode. Nakakita ng oprtunidad ang oportunista para magpalawig ng kapangyarihan.
Huwag na po! Makalat na sobra!
No to emergency powers. Bayan, gising na!!! Ginagawa na tayong ulol nito. Simula’t sapul yan na ang hinihingi nya. Obsessed much?
Other worldleaders who has more cases of covid never asked for emergency powers it is all about political will not political whim
Just give him the damn power. The spread in NCR is going to get worse before it gets better because of a multitude of factors including pop dens. If PRRD has the power over private entities, he can make better use of infras and resources to isolate cases.
NO! Otherwise millions will die.
NO TO EP!!!
Hindi pa nga kumikilos emergency power na agad. Kamalas ng pinoy presindente sobra incompetent. Kilos na dami na apektado at namamatay. Puro utos lang at threat!
Big NO
Senate didn’t approve. So it’s done I guess.
He's desperate. And he doesn't know what to do. He's incapable. He should've just appointed someone else to lead this. But of course, he wants to credit grab. 😂
I understand the need to realign and reprogram the budget. That is needed. But as to the others, i think the national and local governments have sufficient powers to make businesses help out in this time of need. Di take over ang solution
Tawag jan PANANAMANTALA sa panahon na pinagdadaanan natin sa kasalukuyan. Ang kailangan ng TAO matinong pamamahala. Tamang pagiisip para matugunan pangangailangan ng tao. Hindi yan! Wag masyadong ganid sa kapangyarihan.
aanhin pa ni rodrigo ang emergency powers samantalang hindi pa nga niya lubos na pinapakinabangan / ginagamit ang buong lakas ng kanyang pwesto dahil sa katamaran? health response ang kailangan, hindi concentration of powers. halata masyado ang pagka-gahaman sa kapangyarihan.
OustDuterte2020
Direct operation? with the kind of Covid19 directing happening now?
omg! thats worse that covid!
Is there a need for this? I don’t think so.
Taking advantage of the situation This is HOPELESS!
Take over the so called FREEDOM TO EVERYTHING... so what now it will be like of the terrorists that he has only the right to decide That's so disappointing
NO. Whether it's zero x 10 or zero x 1000, the answer will still be zero. Whether he has little power or absolute power if he does not do anything, it would still be useless. He might even abuse it for his and his 'friends' benefit. OustDuterte MassTestingNowPH NotoVIPTesting
He need to rest. We need his emergency resignation. He is useless and incompetent to lead this nation.
Hell no! You can’t even come up with proper guidelines. Guguluhin nyo pa yung services na kailangang kailangan ng tao.
The Duterte administration has been trying to tamp down his request for emergency powers but giving any of those powers to him can become a slippery slope right into legalized authoritarianism.
Naku eto na naman cya. .may binabalak na nman gawin. .salamat sa 16m na bumuto sayo at sa mga tuta mu. .pwe!!!!
NoToEmergencyPowers
Sadly, at times like this, it can be given to a President. It's one way to manage a crisis. Just like Japan. It gave emergency powers to PM Shinzo Abe. He can take over private business if needed. But, Abe probably has better judgement under pressure than Duterte. Just saying.
This is a pandemic. Not a coup d'etat. Martial Law is not an option. Neither is use of military force. The govt must adopt a medical aid approach, coupled with extreme tolerance. Govt officials must realize the enemy is COVID19PH, & NOT the filipino people. COVID19Quarantine
No to Emergency Powers!YES TO MassTestingNowPH
repealprezimmmunity noneabovethelaw
👎🏿no
Dapat lang
Take over then hand it to the 'mainland chinks' ? No no no!
What's the need of emergency power when he's actially NOT doing anything good while he is trying to block those who are doing good for the people.
Di mo naman yata kaylangan yung 'emergency powers' to give solution in this pandemic. Oo mahirap pero we need to sarcifice for the sake of all the filipinos. In time like this, sa government lang talaga tayo aasa. I mean yes we constituent, shall do our part also.
At this crisis, he should. All those who are against these are rich businessman who are afraid to lose their money and profit.
Is there a way that the govt can assign one hospital to treat covid ONLY so that other patients can safely go to their doctors?
as if giving him more power would make him more capable. E kung mga katulad ni Vico/VP ang iempower baka mas marami pa magawa.
Drunk or high on something.
Nope. There is a big possibility to cover up all the updates of Covid-19...
Scary. Given na my impulse ang presidente to overstep his power,hindi kya sa imbes na mapabuti ay mapasama pa ang situation natin?
NOOOOOOOO...maabuso lan ito.
NoToEmergencyPowers
NO
That is how it is in other first world countries. Canada and some countries in Europe is already preparing of doing that. The problem with Filipinos is we politicize and complain about everything. No discipline at all.
If only our congressmen hv shown decency (as opposed to vested interests), we may rest knowing they will do whats right for our citizens. Its scary the idea of putting an imbecile with emergency powers to run the country. Dangerous, criminal and anti-beneficial!
NO! Not to him.
Duh! Giving him more power is like giving someone a gun who doesn't know how to pull a trigger.
You don't need special powers. Be creative.
Una, kaya pa ba nyang mag-isip ng tama? Yung ilang presscon nya, kitang kita nang hindi maayos ang kalusugan nya. Napakalaking responsibilidad ang hinihingi nya. Pwede bang bago ibigay ang emergency powers, sabihin muna kung ano ang totoong state of health nya?
Let me remind the President that he's not playing Plague Inc. and the lives of the Filipino are not to be played with. This REAL LIFE NOT A SIMULATION IN A PHONE
not today, 😤
That's the trouble with the gang. It is always easy money for them.
He is asking too much.
WOW ha! Emergency powers? Magsama kayo ni Duque for not taking actions as soon as the Virus has spread to a number of people. Duque said he could have done that ealier, and now Pres wants emergency powers? You could have over reacted nalang sana. Baka nde pa lumala ito.
No. These are not necessary. We are facing a health issue and this is his only concern. He should not create chaos.
I'd rather emergency action for LGU
Napapahiya kasi sya sa Oligarchs na nag i istep up, un naman ang dadalihin nya.
NO
May power na nga siya now, di pa niya alam gamitin sa tama. Paano na lang if na grant yung hinihingi niya saan niya kaya gagamitin. Sabi nga nila with Great Power Comes great responsibility.
...
Kakainin na ang mundo ng corona virus, puro pulitika pa rin kayo!
Bakit pati Privately Owned Business. Buang. Ganid sa kapangyarihan! MAPAGSAMANTALA. ginagamit ang Covid! Lord tulungan mo po kami. Ilayo po kami sa mga taong mapangsamantala!
NO.
That's purely abuse of Power. A Martial Law in disguised
It seems unnecessary and unwise to take this step and give this power to the president. I concur with the majority of Filipinos who Question this action.
There is no point and no need for the take over. Just do your job PROPERLY.
Hello martial law?
Why media? Why water services? I smell a rat!
Nope! He can’t control private businesses. He can’t even read a message correctly! Baka after this national crisis, iba na May ari ng business because he gave it to his oligarch friends! A big NO!
He should take over first the work of the president because as of now it seems like we don't have the president.. or he can take over Dennis uy and villars businesses.. thanks to lgu who is working really hard to help there constituents..
You got more than enough and you're still craving for more. Sagad sa buto kasuwapangan mo.
fabricated.
No way....this is taking advantage...this is no-no as he has to suffer of consequences of not implementing the rules well, besides he really has no power over his cronies to make his own decisions
Leave the private companies alone please. Don't ever think about it.
No, please no.
Fact check?
Hell NO!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Nakakatakot ito dahil wala ngang emergency power ibang klase na ginagawa niya, what more if he has....
mariaressa They might put safety nets :)

Alam ko may memo ito and they need to show it sa public like ung memo before mag lockdown. Para kita ang specific details.
mariaressa Inuuna pa rin ang pagiging diktador ng inutil na yan!
100% DON'T AGREE ON THIS BECAUSE IT MIGHT OR WILL LEAD TO ANABUSE OF POWER sayNO2EmergencyPowerPls PrivateCompaniearehelpingAlready

Wala na talagang alam itong gobyerno na ito kundi power na lng. Mag plano naman kayo at kumausap ng matatalino hindi umaasa sa tabogong adviser
You know whats worse than a VIRUS!? Its VEERUS! VEERUS are These Politicians who are Taking advantage of this COVID PANDEMIC to get more Power for their personal Agenda! No to VEERUS! ProtestFromHome NoToSpecialPowerSFoRDuterte MassTestingForAll
Go for it Mr President
patay tayo pag na-grant yan! wala ng hope ang philippines, it’s either revolutionary govt or worse we’ll be owned by Winnie the flu Xi Jinping.
A big NO!
This is worst than COVID19
Really? Your anti-drug campaign was a big failure, and your presidency is an even bigger failure. Now you are asking for powers to take over private-owned businesses? Congress and Senate should be smart enough to NOT grant him that. Or the whole country will suffer more.
Dapat lang.
Kasama ba ang suppression of freedom of speech. Baka gaya sa China nun February
DAFAK! WALANG MATINONG GAGAWIN YAN! ANG DAMI NA NATING PRUBLEMA, DADAGDAGAN PA NINYO!
NoToEmergencyPowers
Pag katapos nya take over ang mga hotels, ano kaya ang condisyon ng mga hotel kung ibalik pa sa mga owners? Malamang tanggal na mga fixtures. Pati mga unan at bed sheet na uwi na. Hahaha
Smells like martial law to me. 😷
What? Seriously? We are up against an unseen enemy, a pandemic. It is scary, but I don' t get the point of wanting to have an expansive authority to control almost everything. Hmm... I wonder... 😞
Finish na!
This has been his direction all along... Absolute power that will corrupt him and his puppet master absolutely... power without accountability... to his own selfish ends
If is true I think we are on a dictatorship government again he just using the situation to abused his power as president ... he just show his true color
Wala akong tiwala kay Duterte! Wala akong tiwala kay Panelo! Wala akong tiwala kay Duque!!!!!!!
No! No! No!
huwag natin hayaan na gaguhin tayo ng gobyernong ito
Is this martial law? That’s exactly what marcos did during martial law! The buang is using the covid-19 pandemic so he can declare the PH under a state of emergency? Why was S. Korea able to control covid-19 w/o any lockdown?
No to emergency powers!
No way!
Do you think with having emergency powers, the president can stop NCovid? The WHO advised the world, to test, test, test, did the government did test, test, test? Duque said, it is not necessary now. When? The cases are rising, they are delaying the testing. Why?
no way
For people who still don't understand why we are in a quarantine & why we need to be, please read these 2 papers excellent papers: 1) 2) covid19 COVID19PH
Why?The private sector has been a very willing partmer to the govt in this crisis, extending beyond what has been ecpected of them. Most have given salaries to enployees, opened their inventories of food and medicine, private hospitals have done everything without govt. Support.
Ok people.. Think of a better solution kung ayaw niyo sa suggestion ni Duterte
Pwede ba tumigil siya. Hindi niya nga magampanan ng maayos ang trabaho niya, ngayon gusto niya pa ng emergency power...lumalabas ang pagiging sakim nito sa kapangyarihan.
Tsk tsk tsk careful...the Deceiver is very cunning...
Better resign than asking emergency powers
No need!!!
Dictator Duterte probably sounds nice to his ears. I'm just expecting Mochang mangmang to step in as Imelda 2.0.
if this isn't a prelude to martial law... please there are other strategies that could be implemented other than this. don't give it to him.
Pansariling take over na naman. Iyong simple directive nga hindi malinaw then now wants to take over big businesses.
nanamantala sa iras ng kagipitan... isang maayos na pamumuni ang kailangan... ...hindi greed sa kapangyarihan.
Schemingly obvious!
Hayup lang... The private sector is already doing a much better job of helping out everywhere they can, tapos this unprepared, uncoordinated and bumbling gov't wants to 'take over' Gg0 ba sila (-- Rhetoric question) ✊😤
What? Does he and his minions know how to run a successful business? OR Will these companies be then “assigned” to members of the new oligarchy?
Ayan na naman yung pinaka gusto nya
OustDuterte2020 OustDuterte
It's dangerous since his honesty is 100% questioned in addition to his incompetence. Also, he is surrounded by his own opportunist oligarchs.
Bakit ba puro emergency powers ang nasa kukote nitong gago na to? Na-kontrol na nya ang executive and judiciary branch, pati ba naman mga private sector? Mamamatay na yata tong gago kaya kumahog ang mga alipores. Ayoko magmura pero lintek talaga! NO TO EMERGENCY POWER
Putang inang buhay dahil sa mga bobong bumoto kay duterte lahat lahat nag sa suffer!!!
Di alam paano tugunan ang crisis na ito
mariaressa He failed in his drug war, he will fail in this much more dangerous battle. He should let the professionals do their job, release funds to prop up health services, and just go back to Netflixing.
I'm sure it is his handlers and not duterte's idea. All kidding aside I think he has dementia and they will take this opportunity to ensure he stays in power
Inutil sya, bkt hihingi ng emergency powers? Kung nung una plng nagdeklara kn ng foreign entry ban lalo n from china, hnd mgkkganyan ang pinas!
Nope.
President DU30 asks for the congress to grant him powers however it seems like it will not be granted. The title has a different take on the issue. Covid_19 coronavirus
Goodluck Philippines! Another incompetent act in the making.
Nooooooo!
Talagang sasamantalahin tlga....
Why? 🤔
Would he know how? Of course not. It’s his cohort who are salivating at the prospect unhampered thievery.
He couldn't even manage to govern us yet here you go, he is asking for more.
Sounds like a criminals
No to emergeny power . Lalong mawawala ang mga investor. Mas tataas ang unemployment
He doesn’t need it. Instead of this, why not focus efforts and resources on public health.
No. Duterte is a failure. Clueless. Remember his infamous first address to the nation about COVID-19? The kit is the kit. Incoherent and bumbling.
OustDuterte2020
If he takes over private businesses, he will be able to take over television networks, radios, and newspapers. After that the only news we will hear are only those favoring the government, no matter how bad they are performing.
Overkill
It seems unnecessary because private businesses are expressing support already, taking in losses to make sure there is no disruption in services. This will spark undue fear at a time when everyone should feel safe and secure.
HELL NO!!
To address the nation in a timely manner di magawa. Emergency powers pa?
I hope congress stays strong not to grant his risqué and incongruous request. Congress has been a toady on many occasions, but not this time. Who could trust this president? No to emergency powers!
