Transcript of Ambush Interview with Senate President Franklin M. Drilon

Q: Regarding the legislative agenda

SPFMD: Well, we have the Fair Competition Act, which has already entered the final stages of debate. We are just awaiting some of the amendments from Sen. Osmena and a few other items which are on the agenda.

Q: Positive po ba kayo na maipapass yung Fair Competition Act before the next break?

SPFMD: I do not know. It is on the table, and we are wrapping up the debates. It is on the final stages of legislation.

Q: On the special authority for Pres. Aquino, will that be passed too or napagusapan niyo na po ba iyan nila Sen. Serge?

SPFMD: We are still awaiting the word from the Department of Energy as to what exactly is the situation and the numbers when it comes to the deficiency in power supply. Hinihintay pa po natin ang final world mula kay Sec. Petilla kung ano ba talaga ang kakulangan pagdating ng 2016 when it comes to our power capacity.

Q: Sir, may looming cracks daw po sa LP dahil sa impeachment attempt kay VP Binay?

SPFMD: That is not even being discussed in the party.
