Senate Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros on Friday urged Malacañang and top officials of the Department of Energy to address a “nationwide power crisis” which appears to be looming despite previous assurances of steady power supply in the country.
Hontiveros issued her remark after power outage hit the islands of Guimaras, Panay and Negros which followed the power interruptions in Occidental Mindoro and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Hontiveros emphasized that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s directive for the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines to fix the problems in the Visayas power grid shows the extent of the power problem in the country.
She expressed support for any probe on the ongoing power woes in the country along with her own proposed measures and resolutions aimed at lowering power costs for consumers, as she stressed the need to provide immediate relief to Filipinos who suffer from power interruptions in the midst of summer.
