Excerpt from the Senate hearing last October 12, 2016 on the proposed emergency powers for President Rodrigo Duterte to address the traffic problem in the Philippines. Senator Ralph Recto questions the Section 7 of the DOTr’s proposed bill, titled “Traffic and Congestion Crisis Act”:

SEN. RECTO: May plano na ba talaga kayo o gagawin pa lang?

DOTr USEC. CREENCIA: There is an ongoing preparation for the DOTr plan but what we would have wanted to formulate is a decongestion plan that will involve all the other related agencies.

SEN. RECTO: Sa madaling salita, wala pa ngang plano.

DOTr USEC. CREENCIA: Wala pa po.
