Nang hindi makalusot, umurong.
Malacañang yesterday abandoned a floater to grant emergency powers to President on the drought problem.
“On a scale of one to 10, I would put the possibility of the President resorting to emergency powers to address the situation at zero point five (0.5),” Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said in a text message to reporters.
Bunye issued the statement after administration and opposition lawmakers said Arroyo does not need emergency powers to remedy the dry spell, saying she has “billions” to mitigate the effects of the dry spell.
