00:00 The use of nuclear energy was re-captured on camera amid the problem of the current supply in the country.
00:09 A congressman helped to monitor the situation of local governments amid the heat.
00:18 Bella Lesmoras is in the center of Balita Live.
00:24 Angelic is in the middle of the problem of the current supply that has been for years.
00:30 Now, the weather is so hot that there are faucets that are being laid by lawmakers.
00:35 In an interview with PTV News, House Special Committee on Nuclear Energy Chair Mark Cuanco said
00:43 that now that the energy situation in the country is getting worse, it is time to use nuclear energy.
00:50 All means are being used to get to the country and this is the only one that he thinks is the best to use.
00:58 Cuanco also emphasized the shortcomings of the Department of Energy because now more than ever,
01:04 they need to look at their actions so that our countrymen will not be persuaded.
01:11 Cuanco is very saddened by the rotational brownouts in some parts of the country that are still so hot.
01:19 If he can start using nuclear energy, the congressman is confident that the problem can be solved.
01:26 We have seen that in the last 37 years, all other countries have tried to cut back.
01:33 Our electricity did not become cheap and our supply was not enough.
01:37 So if we really want cheap, sufficient and reliable electricity, that's all nuclear.
01:45 The shortcomings are all together, cheap and clean electricity, but also expected electricity.
01:54 While the problem of electricity is being addressed, Congressman Cuanco ordered the public to be extra careful in the midst of the hot weather.
02:06 In the presence of the camera, they will also be able to focus on the current situation.
02:13 The problem is our senior citizens because they are very prone to stroke.
02:19 Do not go out in the sun. Stay indoors. If it's too hot, you should wet your body.
02:31 It's better to stay cool than to have a stroke or get sick.
02:40 Until the hot weather, the House Committee on Metro Manila Development Vice Chair Joe El Chua is pushing the purchase of LGUs,
02:49 temperature devices that will be calibrated to better monitor the situation of local governments.
02:58 While House Deputy Minority Leader Bernadette Herrera,
03:02 the barangay health workers and barangay officials from all over the country are being cautious in the midst of the hot weather.
03:12 Angelic, the Department of Energy is really trying to address the situation so that our fellow citizens will not be paralyzed.
03:24 At this point, Angelic, we are also expecting their continued assistance to other stakeholders
03:32 to address the current problems in our country. Angelic?
03:39 Okay. Yes, Mela. In our energy supply problem, are congressmen thinking of calling the DOE to discuss this issue?
03:49 Angelic, actually, before the session break here in Congress,
03:57 there were several hearings about the issues, the current problems in the country.
04:05 Because of the El Nino, our electricity supply is expected to be affected.
04:13 But earlier, I also asked Congressman Mark Cuanco if he will approve the resolution or if he will really call the DOE to discuss the issue.
04:25 The issues we are facing are already in the middle.
04:29 But what he said to him personally, he sees that the DOE should not be called again,
04:36 but that action should be taken immediately in this time.
04:40 But Angelic, during the session of Congress in April 29,
04:44 we will wait to see what the congressmen will do if they will have a new hearing about the issues in the current situation. Angelic?
04:54 Okay. Thank you very much, Mela Lesmora.
