President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has yet to throw his support behind the proposed revival of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant due to opposition from local leaders, Pangasinan Representative Mark Cojuangco said Tuesday.
Cojuangco, who chairs the House energy committee, was referring to the $2.3-billion power plant built during the term of Marcos' father and namesake, the late President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. The project, however, was eventually shelved due to safety concerns, and efforts to revive it never gained ground up to this day.
"Hindi naman Bataan ang may-ari ng plantang 'yan. Ang may-ari ng plantang 'yan tayong lahat na Pilipino. That is my justification. Kaya dapat tayong lahat makialam diyan," Cojuangco said."President Marcos should have the political will, for the benefit of the whole country, na paandarin 'yan . Otherwise, we can do it in my district, in Labrador. We are ready," he added.
