SOCIAL media went ballistic the other day after floods paralyzed Metro Manila and adjacent provinces, even forcing tens of thousands of residents to flee their totally flooded homes. Netizens mocked the boast that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
made in his State of Nation Address just two days before the floods made the metropolis a watery hell:A recent Facebook post, referring to Marcos' claims on flood management in his SONA, and what happened two days later.'More than 1,500 flood-control projects have been finished and more are being built in the entire country.' His boast was belied by the calamitous floods the next day.
Second, the reason that the CSP is discriminatory is the outsized authority that Meralco is allowed to exercise in determining who can take part in the process.Third, government functionaries who have the power to put CSP in check refuse to take responsibility and instead, resorted to finger-pointing.Fourth, because of finger-pointing, Meralco can 'do what it wants,' as pointed out by the Department of Energy during the hearing.
