No Electricity by 2018 if ERC Will Only Get P1,000 Budget

  
House decision to grant only a thousand peso to Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) will greatly affect the general public, Senate energy committee chairman Sherwin Gatchalian said. 




Opposing the allocation granted by the House of Representatives, Gatchalian added that the whole archipelago will suffer. 

“Ang direktang epekto nito sa consumers ay wala tayong kuryente by next year. Wala tayong papasok na bagong suplay ng kuryente. Magkakaproblema tayo,” he said.

Apparently, 4 ERC commissioners were questioned regarding their “extravagant trips." 

It was early August 2017 when the Palace suspended ERC Chairman Jose Vicente Salazar for “insubordination.”

“I think it's too drastic, masyadong drastic ung remedy dahil lets also remember na hindi lang ERC ang nape-penalize kundi tayong lahat na gumagamit ng kuryente dahil nakasalalay tayo sa ERC pagdating sa kuryente,” he added.
