Lawmakers bat for transfer of capital

Even our lawmakers want to say goodbye to congested Manila.

Two party-list lawmakers are proposing to form a commission to explore the feasibility of transferring the Philippine capital and permanent seat of the national government elsewhere.

Magdalo party-list Representatives Gary Alejano and Francisco Ashley Acedillo wants Congress to assemble a National Capital Commission which will be tasked to study the creation of a new capital.

The lawmakers described the capital as “lacking of urban planning,” reports Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Well, whose fault is that, huh?
