[Title] => Zubiri joins call for 7 power plants’ closure
[Summary] => A congressman has called on the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Power Corp. (Napocor) to shut down coal-fired power plants which, he said, pose "clear and present danger to human and animal life, vegetation and coastal ecosystems."
In House Resolution No. 700, Rep. Juan Miguel Zubiri said shutting down the coal-run power plants will also save the government billions of pesos it has to pay independent power producers for the excess power supply generated by these plants.

[Summary] => The assurance by the National Power Corp. (Napocor) that it is now using local coal to power its 600-megawatt power plants in Calaca, Batangas to save billions of pesos on imported coal skirts the more pressing issue, a senator said yesterday.
Opposition Sen. Teresa Aquino-Oreta said the issue was the environmental and health risks posed by the continued use by our country of this toxic source of energy.

[Title] => Gambling helps produce economic wealth? False!
[Summary] => NO OKAY FROM GMA: President Arroyo caught that one fast enough. We’re referring to her ordering yesterday the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) to stop putting up mini-gambling arcades outside its regular casinos.
The plan would have opened what looked like friendly neighborhood casinos where super-efficient jackpot machines waited to divest players of their cash. Pagcor has explained that the joints would cater only to moneyed patrons, particularly aliens, but based on its track record we doubt if it would strictly carry out that selective policy.

[Title] => Napocor defers awarding of coal supply contracts due to low bids
[Summary] => The National Power Corp. (Napocor) is still in various stages of negotiation with several companies for the supply of fuel to three to its coal-fired power plants.
For its 1,200-megawatt (MW) Sual power plant, Napocor declared a failed bid as only one supplier qualified and submitted the necessary documents. Shenlua Coal Trading of the People’s Republic of China was the only bidder for the supply of 455,000 metric tons of coal worth an estimated $900 million to the Sual power plant.

[Title] => Napocor to use Semirara coal for Calaca plant
[Summary] => The National Power Corp. (Napocor) has decided to source its coal requirement for the Calaca power plant from the Semirara mines.
The 600-megawatt (MW) Calaca I & II power plant in Batangas consumes some 300,000 metric tons of coal annually which Napocor used to source from foreign suppliers – mostly Australian and Indonesian –through public bidding.
Napocor president Federico E. Puno said government could be spared from spending its precious dollars if Calaca could utilize Semirara coal instead of Australian, Chinese or Indonesian coal.
