MANILA, Philippines — Despite pushing for additional authority from Congress, President Benigno Aquino III eventually admitted on Tuesday that contracting generating sets for the looming energy shortage is no longer possible.

“That doesn’t seem to be an option at this point in time,” Aquino said during the general membership meeting of the Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the Philippines (Seipi) held at the Peninsula Manila.

He explained that the generating sets require six months of installment and even if the joint resolution is approved by Congress, the facilities cannot be set-up before the summer of 2015. source
