Aniceto Saludo is a clear maneuver, in support of transnational mining companies, to pressure the government to facilitate the liberalization of the mining industry. Rep. Saludo’s call echoes the relentless complaint of the Chamber of Mines that the DENR is ‘too slow’ in implementing large-scale mining projects and operations in the country," said Clemente Bautista Jr., the national coordinator of the environmental network, Kalikasan-PNE.

Southern Leyte Rep. Aniceto Saludo said the reported government plan to sell its 40 percent in Petron, a major player in the oil industry, and 20 percent share in Meralco was "ill-advised since any sale will put the government in a precarious situation."


"This would be tantamount to undertaking a fire sale of the country’s few remaining crown jewels," Saludo said.

Southern Leyte Rep. Aniceto Saludo said CLA Air Transport Inc. has misrepresented itself as a Filipino airline when it is in fact a cargo transport firm controlled by Japanese nationals.


He said because of its alleged misrepresentation, the airlines is now flying the Philippine flag "at the expense of struggling Filipino airlines."

                    [Title] => Proposed sale of government stake in Petron, Meralco opposed
                    [Summary] => A key administration legislator slammed yesterday the proposed sale of government stakes in Petron and Manila Electric Co. (Meralco).


Southern Leyte Rep. Aniceto Saludo said the reported government plan to sell its 40 percent in Petron, a major player in the oil industry, and 20 percent share in Meralco was "ill-advised since any sale will put the government in a precarious situation."


"This would be tantamount to undertaking a fire sale of the country’s few remaining crown jewels," Saludo said.

                    [Summary] => A Visayas congressman urged President Arroyo yesterday to reject the application of a "Japanese airline" for the extension of its temporary operating permit which expires today.


Southern Leyte Rep. Aniceto Saludo said CLA Air Transport Inc. has misrepresented itself as a Filipino airline when it is in fact a cargo transport firm controlled by Japanese nationals.


He said because of its alleged misrepresentation, the airlines is now flying the Philippine flag "at the expense of struggling Filipino airlines."

I saw it on Cable News Network (CNN) early yesterday afternoon. Terrorists or extortionists? The "Suicide Bombers’ Team" (SBT), self-styled, of the Pentagon Gang?
