Lawmaker Wants Emergency Management Department Created


Manila: Leyte Representative Ferdinand Martin Romualdez on November 18 Monday proposed the creation of an Emergency Management Authority, a government agency, which will handle all calamity-related operations.

In a privilege speech at the House of Representatives, Romualdez said the present set-up has "proven to be inadequate in preparing our country from major calamities which we will inevitably have to face."

"This department will drastically reduce, if not totally eliminate, the bureaucratic red tape which caused the delay of the delivery of relief goods to the victims and clearing operations to the affected areas," Romualdez, cousin of Tacloban Mayor Alfred Romualdez, said
