                    [Summary] => 



The 32nd Philippine Business Conference (PBC) ends today with a call to the Arroyo administration to address specific projects and concerns in tourism, energy, infrastructure, agriculture, education, taxation, customs/governance, SME development and financing, international trade negotiations, transaction flows and costs, mining, investments and competitiveness.


Unlike the resolutions of previous years, the 32nd PBC urged more specific action for specific projects.

The Magdalo coup plotters seem to idolize Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez. This can be gleaned from the confession of Lt. Lawrence San Juan about his underground activities for the group led by former senator Gringo Honasan and composed of junior officers.

                    [Summary] => 



One of four dozen major bills clogged in the Senate (although passed by the House of Representatives nine months ago) is for bio-fuel incentives. If passed, it would give tax breaks and soft loans to makers, sellers and fleet users of gasoline and diesel alternatives. No other measure than the Bio-Fuel Bill clearly points the way out of uncontrollably skyrocketing crude oil rates.

According to Bukidnon Rep. Juan Miguel Zubiri, tuba-tuba, whose scientific name is jathropa curcas, is a "fast-growing small tree whose fruit, actually a nut, can be processed into cooking or car fuel."


"Planting tuba-tuba can be a very profitable proposition," Zubiri, who is promoting the use of bio-fuels, said yesterday.

                    [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.

Based on the final NREL report, the DOE said "using coconut methyl ester (CME) or coco-biodiesel is just like using diesel fuel – only better."


The NREL report also stated that CME consistently yielded the same results as diesel fuel, but with more positive results.
