                    [Title] => Senate urged  to rush biofuels bill
                    [Summary] => The Senate was urged yesterday to rush the approval of the Bio-Fuels Bill in the wake of soaring world prices of crude oil and refined products.


The appeal was made by Bukidnon Rep. Juan Miguel Zubiri, principal author of the measure that seeks to promote the use of ethanol, a product that can be extracted from sugar cane, coconut and cassava and which can be mixed with gasoline.


Zubiri said there is urgent need to lessen the country’s dependence on imported fuel since prices of crude and finished products have been continually rising.
