The House Fuel Crisis Ad Hoc committee on Monday, March 7, voiced its frustrations over the National Economic and Development Authority’s apparent lack of an official stance in response to the fuel price surge.
Marikina 2nd district Rep. Stella Quimbo pressed resource person, National Economic Development Authority Director Reynaldo Cancio for NEDA’s reaction to the policy options tackled by the panel regarding the fuel crisis.“We’re looking at both problems, both the short term implications of the crisis and the long term. The recommendations will happen later with the meeting with the President,” Cancio said.Quimbo called out NEDA for its slow response in issuing their recommendation.
“Ang dami-dami natin pinag-uusapan na policy option…Pero sa ngayon, hindi maliwanag which is superior hindi naman pwede patas lahat yan. Para sa akin, dapat ang nagbabalangkas niyan is NEDA ,” Quimbo explained. “Its really frustrating na puro ‘ad hoc’ yung mga sagot ng mga executive… Parang lutang na lutang ,” said Zarate, who is a senior deputy minority leader.
