QC measure lets mayor ink deal with NFA

A Quezon City councilor has pushed for an ordinance that would authorize Mayor Herbert Bautista to obtain rice from the National Food Authority (NFA) on credit for relief operations whenever a state of calamity is declared in the city.

Under the draft measure authored by Councilor Ranulfo Ludovica of the second district, Bautista would no longer need the approval of the council to work out a deal with the NFA in case of a calamity.—Jeannette I. Andrade
