At least two senators on Sunday, May 14 raised the need for a new oversight committee hearing into the operations of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines as widespread power outages continue to loom over the country.
“Dahil nga 40 percent ay pagmamaya-ari ng China kaya nga isa pa yan kaya dapat magkaroon ng oversight. Tignan natin kung ang NGCP sinusunod ang ating saligang batas ,” the senator added. “May mga Chinese na matataas ang ranggo sa NGCP at kapag mataas ang ranggo mo ibig sabihin may impluwensya ka sa Management. Yun ang nakakatakot. Unang-una, lumabag sila sa Saligang Batas at pangalawa pwede nilang imanipula ,” he lamented.
Also during the previous hearings, the NGCP has been using the Covid-19 pandemic as a convenient excuse whenever they are asked about the status of their maintenance projects.
