How do you look at this, Folks? rp2.abs-cbnnews/business/07/22/14/petilla-answers-critics-proposed-emergency-powers-pnoy To power producers, Secretary Petilla merely said: Basta decision niyo ito ha? As secretary, yan ang nakikita ko. If people are willing to have brownouts in summer, then we can opt not to have this... People are opposing, maybe theyre willing (to have brownouts), he said. He sounded so helpless and so pathetic. Kawawang-kawawa naman ang Secretary of Energy natin. He may have forgotten in that specific instant that he represented the President of the Philippines who in turn represents millions of citizens. He may have forgotten too in that specific moment that there is just standing by the government-owned Malaya Thermal Power Plant in Pililia capable of providing 600 megawatts. As a matter of fact, Malaya is capable of generating 100-200 megawatts more than the projected power shortfall of 400-500 megawatts mentioned in the foregoing ABS-CBN news write-up. For more information on the government-owned Malaya Thermal Power Plant in Pililia, heres an article about it: manilatimes.net/government-failed-to-use-available-assets-to-stop-power-rate-hike/69978/ You dont need emergency powers to turn on the Malaya Thermal Power Plant and dispatch the electricity generated, do you, Mr. Secretary? Again I will ask, how does it look to you, Folks? Are we being set up for a trap? Who are setting the trap? What for? And will the brownout be the preliminary test and dry-run to find out how effective and how smart is the smart grid that has been installed by NGCP? Hhhmmm... Smart and effective for whom... That is likewise a cause for wonder. Who actually wants brownouts, Mr. Secretary? Certainly not the citizens and consumers. Thats why you are placed there, to prevent that and to protect the consumers and the citizenry. Stop looking and acting helpless and pathetic, Mr. Secretary! You have mandate, power and work to do! And certainly it is NOT TO SAY to power producers: Basta decision niyo ito ha? Ano ka?
