MANILA – Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr.  said yesterday that Malacañang will continue to coordinate with the leaders of Congress to address the looming power shortage next year.

”What is important is to make sure that our people and businesses will not be affected if we will have power shortage in the summer of 2015,” Coloma said.

In a recent FOCAP forum, President Benigno Aquino III said the impending power crisis might affect the gross domestic product (GDP) by P9 to P23 billion.
