I was reluctant to go, but then how could I say no? A few months ago, I found myself seated right beside Ruthy Vera, the chairperson for the Francisfest — an event that I had never heard of.

Kasunod ito ng parehong pasya ni presidential adviser Gloria Tan Climaco at ni Solicitor General Alfredo Benipayo. Nauna nang nagbabala ang NEDA na di dapat ipatupad ang supplemental agreements ng original at amended contracts dahil maraming isiningit na ilegal na probisyon.

Halos tapos na ng Piatco itayo ang NAIA-3 na 25-taong operating concession. Kaya magdedemanda raw ito. Mahigit $550 milyon na kasi ang nagastos sa construction.

In a recent congressional committee hearing chaired by Negros Rep. Jerome Paras, Mendoza said President Arroyo has directed him to take charge of the long-delayed project and fast-track its completion.

"This would end speculations on the alleged rift between me and presidential adviser on strategic projects Gloria Tan Climaco, and ensure the speedy implementation of the MRT projects," he said.

[Summary] => It was tough to get people to answer today’s question. It seems that when the topic is death, they would rather not think about it – much less talk about it. Of course, no matter what we do, we can never escape the reality of death – we will join our creator up there if we were good down here (if we were bad, well, that’s another interesting story).

And renegotiation was what Presidential Chief Legal Counsel Avelino Cruz had advised to begin with, before spin doctors came in claiming he was plotting to grab the company from its present owners.

[Summary] => What both fascinates and appalls many in the heat of the controversy over the PIATCO Terminal 3 deal, which is facing amendment and drastic revision, is that most of the attacks – increasing daily in volume and vilification – are being directed at Presidential Adviser on Strategic Projects Gloria Tan Climaco.

[Summary] => The reported "take-over" of government of the NAIA Terminal 3 project is puzzling to us.

The modern-state-of-the-art airport terminal is very much needed. It will put us at par with our neighbors, bring us more tourists and will be quite a facility when finally operational. It is supposed to be a Build-Operate-Transfer project, meaning to say, we, the people, will get something, but government did not spend for it. That is the nature of BOT projects.

As such, he flies down to the islands where he enjoys the beautiful beaches and clean air then travels back to Manila to attend sessions in Congress as a member of the minority party.

Although Garcia did not mention any name, industry sources said he was referring to the Go family, who holds a 35 percent stake in the bank but controls the 15-man board.
