Fernando also decried alleged efforts by unnamed individuals who are allegedly pushing for the contract by seeking the endorsement of officials close to President Arroyo.

The Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) has forwarded to the Mrs. Arroyo pertinent documents that would help her reconsider her earlier decision not to implement the controversial P390-billion garbage disposal deal with Jancom Environment Corp.


Jancom lawyer Manuel Molina said the OSG informed him that they have sent the documents to the President so she could determine the official government stand on the implementation of the contract.
