“What is important is the President said: ‘They
should do something about it.’ Meaning to say, (they should) do their job. If
there is a pending application before Congress, then members of Congress should
deliberate on it and decide whether or not to grant or to deny the extension,”
Presidential Spokesperson Atty. Salvador Panelo
Atty. Panelo issued the said statement after the
critics of the President blamed him for the impasse in the tackling of the bills
pending in the House of Representatives.
“What is the job of Congress? The job of Congress is
to pass laws. The job of Congress is to investigate in aid of legislation any
matter that affects the national interest and their welfare. That’s their job.
One of their jobs is precisely to deliberate on whether or not to grant
franchises or renew franchises,” Panelo said.
