Voting 149-18, the House of Representatives approved last night Joint Resolution 21, which seeks to grant President Aquino emergency powers for five months to address the expected power shortage in Luzon next year. The measure would enable the President to deal with the shortage in power reserves from March to July, estimated by the House committee on energy at 1,004 megawatts. Following a roll call of 174 House members, the measure was passed on third and final reading after being certified as urgent by Aquino.
