Presidential Spokeperson berated senator Grace
Poe for her hesitancy in granting President Rodrigo Roa Duterte of emergency powers
to solve the gigantic traffic problems in Metro Manila most especiallyalong the
Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA).
"Kasi nga (Because) from the very start --
obviously the grant of emergency powers would have helped a lot. Since kinontra niya
iyon (she opposed
it), it will haunt her when the time comes," the official said in a CNN
Philippines interview.
The comment by Panelo was brought about when the
Chief Executive thumbed down the granting of emergency powers had earlier asked
when he assumed office in 2016 to resolve the horrendous traffic congestion in
Metro Manila.

"Iyong Edsa na iyan, sabi nila ganoon-ganoon.
Sabi ko nung narinig ko, sabi ko wag na. So ngayon gusto nilang i-revive. Ilang buwan na lang, two years and so
many months, hindi ko na iyan matatapos (That Edsa, they talk a lot, When I’ve heard it, I
said, never mind. Now, they want to revive. I have only two remaining years, I
cannot finish it)," Duterte said in a press conference in Malacañang
In a
separate Palace event, the President said the traffic congestion in Metro
Manila will serve as a legacy of the politicians, including Poe, who turned
down his request for emergency powers.
“Meron na ngang solution eh
sabihin niyo (I offered a solution, then they said) ‘corruption’ … Yan
ang legacy niya (That’s her legacy). Make it a legacy ng
pagka-politiko (of being a politician). It’s not mine,” the President
said.
Contrary to Poe’s concern that
corruption will tarnish emergency powers, Duterte responded: “Grace, hindi
lahat ng tao dito sa mundong ito magnanakaw (Grace, not everyone in this
world is corrupt).”

What would you expect from s bin bag brain senator. Pretending to be brainy but actually with a hollow cocont shell. Panis na latak ng niyog ang utak niyang si Trapoe. Walang nagawa kahit isan batas gaya niRisa Hontivrus.
