I thought I was presented a sterile issue when my privilege speech in the Lower House did not draw the usual supporters and dissenters among my colleagues after asking about the anomalous practices at the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA). The carefully prepared briefing material easily convinced me that the shippers’ concerns were valid and that an easy solution was forthcoming. After all, the economic arguments for a rate rollback are easy to understand and appreciate, coming even from a representative of a district that has no port under it (2nd District of Bulacan).
