TUCP warns Petilla vs ‘pimps and whisperers’ in power crisis

The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) on Thursday warned Energy Secretary Jericho Petilla to be cautious of vested interests in handling proposed emergency powers to address a looming energy crisis.

The proposal, the TUCP said,  “is now opening doors for salesmen, opportunists and pirates of all stripes peddling very expensive power solutions that will preserve the prerogatives of the private independent generation sector [that] seemingly willed the power shortage to existence.”
