If we declare, for example, if we declare– I already have the power to declare an emergency and to control the prices of commodities,” Marcos said in an interview on the sidelines of the launch of Halina’t Magtanim ng Prutas At Gulay, Kadiwa’y Yaman, Plants for Bountiful Barangays Movement at the Rizal Park in the City of Manila on Wednesday, March 1.
