Anakalusugan Rep.

He also quizzed Health Secretary Francisco Duque III whether he agrees to give the President emergency powers.

Galing talaga! Duts appoints unqualifieds They fail miserably at their jobs Allies opt to give Duts emergency powers to solve a problem he created. *slow clap*

You cannot solve anything with just emergency powers. The congress is just proof of how inutile our govt leaders are. One trick pony : ML, emergency powers. He appointment a non-expert to head Philhealth. You don’t need emergency powers to appoint someone competent.

Puro powers. Ibigay niyo na din ang role ng Darna!

Pooottttaaaahhhh! Puro special powers Puro nakawan lang ang nanyayare! Diterteresign yan pinaka maganda manyayare sa pilipinas!

Hmm, how did he perform when we he was given emergency powers under the BayanihanAct? If the health crisis was not met with an inkling of urgency, how will we expect him to treat this case seriously? incompetent

How much “emergency powers” does this government need? Mechanisms are in place to do oversight on government agencies. If they were doing their jobs, there would be no need for additional powers.

Emergency powers na lang lahat.

emergency na lang lahat!!! dalhin na yan si digong sa emergency room, baka sakaling mahimasmasan...

tangna yan. ma-utot lang eh, emergency power agad. lentek na yan.

Kailangan emergency election to address the corruption of the President.

Giving the man emergency powers won’t make a difference when he refuses duque who no one trusts anymore. What can he do w emergency powers. This Congress is totally useless particularly Mike Defensor... USELESS TRAPO

Save Duque is the goal ...... for another emergency power next order for menu ....... lol

Lahat na lang emergency powers. Ano pa ba kulang? Hawak na ang SC both houses of Congress, Military, Police...kulang pa? Malawak ang impluensya bagkus walang maresolbang problema? Eh 'inutil ako' talaga.

Those “emergency powers” are useless in the hands of an incompetent leader.

Banat

MICROMANAGEMENT.

You don't need a bazooka to deal with a fly.

Emergency powers na naman wala naman nangyayari parusahan muna mga nangurakot then we can talk about reforms!

energency powers again? WALA NGANG NANGYARI SA UNANG EMERGENCY POWER!!!!! ULOL!!!!!

Duterte’s solution: Appoint unqualified CEO!

emergency powers na naman? tawagin nyo na lang kaya ang mga Avengers!!!!

Emergency room is the solution . Not emergency powers .

You know whats better than emergency power?

Anong power pa ba ang kailangan nya, with his present powers now, he can do whatever pleases him, with the Congress and Senate always echoing and following his orders. Isang kampay at lang nya, para na silang mga asong ulol

choose the right person for the job first

Because inutil pag walang emergency powers? 🤡🤡👊

Bakit kelangan pa emergency powers?

Kaya pala may corruption pa wala PA palang emergency powers.
