Tolentino to push for emergency powers to solve PH traffic woes

Francis Tolentino will prove he has balls than Grace Poe, but would definitely be high impact to the day to day life of the Filipino commuter.

Former Presidential Adviser on Political Affairs Francis Tolentino, who is currently among the winning magic 12 in the mid-term polls’ senatorial race, said he is willing to “refile” an emergency powers bill despite the measures pending in both chambers of Congress.

Tolentino, who is also a former Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman, said he is willing to “refile” an emergency powers bill despite the measures pending in both chambers of Congress.

“Nabanggit ko iyon noong campaign na kung kinakailangang ire-file iyong emergency powers, gagawin po natin 'yan, Tolentino said.

Tolentino said he will discuss this plan with President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

And being a former chairman of the MMDA , he would like to introduce a measure that would strengthen the mandate of the MMDA, which is currently in charge of crafting and implementing a development plan to address transport decongestion, climate change, waste management, and disaster prevention, among others.

“Pagbabago ng mandato na rin noong MMDA, kung papaano mas magiging epektibo sila para tumulong maibsan ang traffic sa Metro Manila (We need to change the mandate of the MMDA, how they can be more effective in resolving traffic in Metro Manila),” Tolentino said.
