                    [Summary] => The government will not deduct the $14.14-million performance bond from the $561-million purchase price of 600-megawatt Masinloc power plant in case the YNN Pacific Consortium Inc. and its partner Ranhill Berhad will decide to deliver the downpayment before Aug. 6, Energy Secretary Raphael P.M.

"That would not be part of the $561 million," Lotilla said. The energy chief did not elaborate.

He told a news conference yesterday that these officials have violated the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act and the Code of Conduct for Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees for being "too accommodating" to the winning bidder, YNN Pacific Consortium Inc.

The sources said the unnamed Malaysian partner being eyed for the project already has a presence in the Philippines, but is basically involved in oil and gas exploration.
