NI ROMEO ALLAN BUTUYAN II
Kasunod ng naranasang power outage sa Panay region, naniniwala si Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez na makakatulong ang Maharlika fund para palakasin ang sektor ng enerhiya.
Para kay Romualdez, higit na angkop isulong sa ilalim ng Maharlika Fund ang pagkakaroon ng maayos at sapat na suplay ng kuryente sa bansa.
Kasabay nito, tinutulak din ng lider ng Kamara ang pagsasagawa ng Kamara ng imbestigasyon hinggil sa nangyaring malawakang pagkawala ng power supply sa nabanggit na rehiyon, na nagsimula noong Enero 2 at nagtagal ng ilang araw bago masolusyunan.
“This event has highlighted critical issues in our power infrastructure, impacting numerous businesses, industries, and the daily lives of our citizens,” diin pa ng lider ng 300-plus strong House of Representatives.
“Given these challenges, I propose that the Maharlika Investment Corporation considers investing in the NGCP (National Grid Corporation of the Philippines). This strategic investment could provide essential capital for infrastructure upgrades and help in lowering the cost of electricity for consumers,” dugtong ng Leyte lawmaker.
Binigyan-diin ni Speaker Romualdez ang pangangailangan ng kolektibong pagtugon ng iba’t ibang ahensya gaya ng Department of Energy at Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) para di na maulit ang nasabing power outage.
“I also urge the ERC and the NGCP to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of this outage. Identifying and addressing the root causes is essential to prevent future occurrences and ensure a stable power supply. The involvement of the Maharlika Investment Corporation could be a significant step towards achieving a reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy infrastructure,” sabi pa ni Speaker Romualdez.
Aniya pa, nararapat lamang na magkaroon ang mga residente ng Western Visayas ng sapat at maaasahan power infrastructure at kasabay ng pangakong suporta sa mga hakbang na magbibigay katuparan sa nasabing adhikain.
“The government is committed to working closely with all stakeholders during this challenging time. Our united efforts are vital in overcoming these challenges and ensuring the well-being and economic growth of the region,” giit pa ni Speaker Romualdez.
