Leaders of the House of Representatives on Monday thumbed down a proposal by Energy Secretary Angelo Reyes to give emergency powers to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to address the power crisis in Mind.
“I think he has enough powers as energy secretary to act on the crisis. I see no need for it,” Speaker Prospero Nograles said in a text message.
