Villar wants to review fisheries, electricity laws

THE high cost of electricity and the poor condition of farmers and fishermen are concrete indication that the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) and Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA) failed to serve its purpose and should be reviewed, according to senator-elect Cynthia Villar.

“I cannot understand why you have legislation that will not have any effect on people. You make legislation to help people. So you should see to it that these legislations are implemented because I find it useless to have too many legislations and yet no impact to the people,” Villar said in a statement.
