Oil firms to cut diesel, kerosene prices

Monday, July 2, 2012

MANILA — Local oil firms announced on Monday a price-cut on their petroleum products effective Tuesdsay morning.

Effective 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, major oil companies Pilipinas Shell, Petron Corp., Chevron Philippines (formerly Caltex) and independent player Eastern Petroleum Philippines cut their respective prices of diesel by P0.30 per liter and kerosene by P0.40 per liter.

The rollback will bring down the fuel price average in Metro Manila to the following levels: unleaded, P48 per liter; diesel, P37 per liter and kerosene, P49 per liter.

The price rollback is the 13th consecutive since April.

As of this posting, other oil firms have yet to make similar announcements.

Last week, the same oil companies pulled down prices of premium gasoline (including unleaded) by P1.80 per liter, regular gasoline by P1.40 per liter and diesel and kerosene by P1 per liter.

Despite this week’s comparatively meager adjustments, the successive rollbacks have resulted to accumulated decreases of P10.50 per liter for premium gasoline, P11.55 per liter for regular gasoline, P8.90 per liter for diesel and P8.85 per liter for kerosene. (PNA/Sunnex)

Carpio formalizes bid to become next Chief Justice

Monday, July 2, 2012

MANILA (3rd Update, 6:01 p.m.) — Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio has formally joined 24 other individuals wanting to replace ousted Renato Corona as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Carpio submitted his letter of acceptance to the nomination at 1:55 p.m., three hours before the screening body Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) closes the application period.

“I greatly appreciate that you automatically included me in the list of nominees,” he told the JBC.

In a speech before the Central Luzon-based lawyers last week, Carpio said he is willing to lead the judiciary if given the chance. He also pitched the need for a computerized management system in all courts to lessen clogged dockets, which resulted in the delay of the administration of justice.
Carpio, 62, was Corona’s fiercest rival to the post two years ago but he declined to pursue his candidacy, noting that appointments to the judiciary during presidential elections are illegal under the Constitution.

He is currently the acting Chief Justice after Corona was removed by the Senate impeachment court last May 29 for betrayal of public trust and culpable violation of the Constitution for concealing multi-million peso cash deposits in his asset statement.

Justice Secretary Leila de Lima and SC Associate Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno also sent to the JBC letters of intent to join the race. Sereno is President Benigno Aquino III’s first appointee to the highest court of the land.

“With great appreciation for the trust and confidence their nomination implies, and entirely mindful of the importance of the role of the Chief Justice as an institution, it is with utmost humility and with the deepest sense of responsibility, that I accept their nomination,” de Lima said.

De Lima received nominations from the following individuals/groups: Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption, Integrated Bar of the Philippines-Zambales chapter, San Beda Law Alumni Association and lawyer Reynaldo Bagatsing.

Both de Lima and Carpio earlier inhibited in the JBC deliberations when it comes to the selection process for the next top magistrate. They are both ex-officio members.

Also on Monday, Supreme Court Justices Presbitero Velasco Jr., Teresita Leonardo-de Castro, Solicitor General Francis Jardeleza and Cagayan de Oro City Representative Rufus Rodriguez accepted the nomination while SC Justices Jose Perez and Lucas Bersamin and Public Attorney’s Office Chief Persida Rueda-Acosta turned down their respective endorsements.

“The undersigned begs off from this distinct privilege in view of her ardent commitment to the PAO and its mandated clients nationwide,” Acosta said in her letter.

Completing the list of those who already accepted their nominations are Supreme Court Associate Justices Arturo Brion and Roberto Abad, Professor Soledad Cagampang De Castro, De La Salle College of Law Dean Jose Manuel Diokno, women’s rights lawyer Katrina Legarda, lawyer Rafael Morales, ex-University of the Philippines Law Dean Raul Pangalangan, Elections Commissioner Rene Sarmiento, retired Judge Manuel Siayngco Jr., former Ateneo de Manila Law Dean Cesar Villanueva, ex-San Juan City Representative Ronaldo Zamora, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairperson Teresita Herbosa, University of the East Law Dean Amado Valdez, lawyer Ferdinand Jose Pijao, Manila regional trial court Judge Amelia Tria-Infante, Presidential Commission on Good Government Chairman Andres Bautista and lawyers Vicente Velasquez and Vincent Veloso.

President Benigno Aquino III is required to name the new top magistrate 90 days following the vacancy or until August 28.(Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)

Government continues power rate discounts

Monday, July 2, 2012

IN line with President Benigno S. Aquino III’s anti-poverty programs, the government continues to provide power rate discounts to “lifeline” or marginalized electricity consumers.

Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda issued the statement during the regular press briefing in Malacañang on Monday following reports that various groups are appealing to the government to provide electricity subsidy to the poor following the increase of Manila Electricity Company (Meralco) electricity rates.

Lacierda reiterated that the Aquino administration’s position to ensure that the poor and the underprivileged sector of society would still be able to afford electricity services by giving discounts to low-income users of electricity until 2021.

Last year, the Chief Executive signed Republic Act 10150, an act that provides a 10-year extension of the lifeline rate implementation under the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (Epira) as a socialized pricing mechanism that benefits the marginalized end-users of electricity.

The Epira initially packaged the discounted rates for the marginalized end-users for 10 years or until June 26, 2011.

Under the lifeline subsidy scheme, residential consumers in the higher consumption bracket would have to pay extra cost as subsidy to their poorer counterparts.

Senate Joint Resolution No. 9, meanwhile, sought to extend the existence of the Joint Congressional Power Commission for another 10 years to “ensure that the goals and objectives of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 and the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 are fully achieved.”

Last month, the Energy Regulatory Commission has approved Meralco’s petition for a maximum average price of P1.6303 per kilowatt-hour for distribution, supply and metering charges to different customer classes. (PNA/Sunnex)

Legislator wants school clinicsLegislator wants school clinics to benefit from ‘sin tax’ collection to benefit from ‘sin tax’ collection

Monday, July 2, 2012

AT LEAST five percent of the increased “sin tax” collection target should be allocated to public school clinics to help the 22.1 million students needing health services, a lawmaker said.

Aurora Representative Sonny Angara said earmarking a part of tobacco and liquor tax collections for the hiring of school-based health personnel will be the “shot-in-the-arm” that will boost the capability of public school clinics to extend health services to “practically one-fifth of the country’s population.”

Have something to report? Tell us in text, photos or videos.

Angara noted that there is a present ratio of one doctor to 147,000 students and the medicine budget of P1.50 per student every year.

“If one of the major reasons for hiking sin taxes is for government to have more money for health, then there is no better place to spend this than in public schools where 20 percent of the country congregate during day time,” the lawmaker pointed out.

On top of the 22.1 million students, public schools also host half-a-million teachers.

Despite this sheer size, a Department of Education report released five years ago pegged the number of “medical officers” in public schools at 150, dentists at 617 and nurses at 3254.

With no hiring surge for this kind of personnel authorized over the past five years, Angara said “it is safe to assume that this remains the size of the medical corps that attends to the health needs of our schoolchildren.”

“The lack of dentists is one giant toothache for the education system because painful tooth disease has been cited as one of the top reasons for class absences by pupils,” he said.

Angara, chairman of the House committee on higher and technical education, also cited a Commission on Audit (COA) report that drugs in school clinics are also lacking.

The COA reported that in 2010purchases by the Department for Education (DepEd) for drugs and medicines amounted to only P31.9 million, which translates to a per student spending of about P1.50 per year.

The “sin tax” bill pending in the Senate projects an additional annual yield of P30 billion from higher tobacco and alcohol excise tax on the first year of implementation alone with further increases scheduled in subsequent years. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)

Rotavirus vaccine, benefit package for severe illnesses launched

Monday, July 2, 2012

THE Department of Health launched Monday the Rotavirus vaccination for infants and new benefit package under the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth), which covers catastrophic illnesses, such as cancer and leukemia.

President Benigno Aquino III led the ceremony in Malacañang as he administered the vaccination of six infants aged 1 ½ months up to 3 ½ months. He was joined by Health Secretary Enrique Ona.

“To win this war on poverty, we must also turn our attention to public health and as we focus on the health of our country, the economy, government, the overall health of all Filipinos also remains a top priority,” Aquino said in his keynote speech.

“The rotavirus is the most common cause of severe diarrhea in infants and children below five years of age — or so I am told by Secretary Ona. We are aware of the dangers the diarrhea poses to anyone especially in severe cases,” he added.

The President said thousands of children suffer from diarrhea each year with over 3,500 cases leading to death.

“We can greatly reduce these numbers and the effort to do this has already begun. Today, we launch the rotavirus vaccines which are expected to contribute to our goal of safeguarding the health and well-being of Filipino children,” he said.

An estimated 700,000 infants belonging to families listed in the national housing targeting system for poverty reduction will be vaccinated with Rotavirus this year. These families lived in communities that have the highest morbidity and mortality rates from diarrheal diseases.

To date, Ona said the vaccines have been distributed nationwide to cover the beneficiaries.

Rotavirus is a virus that infects the bowels.

According to statistics of the World Health Organization, rotavirus is the most comment cause of diarrhea in infants and children, resulting in deaths of about 600,000 children and over two million hospitalizations worldwide every year. Recurrence of infections with different viral strains is possible, and approximately all children have had a rotavirus infection by the time they are five years of age.

Children acquire immunity to rotavirus after several infections with the different strains of the virus, Severe infection of rotavirus gastroenteritis is the leading cause of severe, dehydrating diarrhea, which can result to death.

“We are doing all these because we want to be prepared for this lingering threat; because we want to diminish that this condition poses to our children; and because we want to lessen the burden on our people who should not have to worry about their children dying from a highly treatable disease like diarrhea,” the President said.

‘Z benefits’

Aside from the Rotavirus, Aquino and Ona also witnessed the launch of “Z Benefits” the new benefit package of PhilHealth, which cover catastrophic illnesses, including early stage breast cancer, prostate cancer and childhood acute leukemia.

PhilHealth will pay P100,000 for breast cancer, P210,000 for standard risk childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia, and P100,000 for prostate cancer.

“For the first time in our history, PhilHealth now provides benefits that can cover the treatment of diseases that cost roughly 100,000 to 200,000 pesos. This represents a change in the way PhilHealth does business,” Aquino said.

“Instead of focusing on one claim or one treatment alone, the focus is on the patient himself. From the surgery to post-operation care and even to therapy, the Z benefit package provides full coverage for our countrymen suffering from dour illnesses, opening new doors to Filipinos in the margins or on the margins of society,” he added.

PhilHealth has allotted P3 billion for the Z benefit package for this year.

Twenty-two hospitals are contracted to provide the Z-benefit. These include Philippine Children’s Medical Center, Philippine General Hospital, Ilocos Training and Regional Medical Center, Western Visayas Medical Center, Southern Philippines Medical Center, Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center, Davao Regional Hospital, Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center, Rizal Medical Center, Northern Mindanao Medical Center, Bicol Medical Center, Quirino Memorial Medical Center, National Kidney Transplant Institute, Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center, Batangas Regional Hospital, Cagayan Valley Medical Center, Jose B. Lingad Memorial General Hospital, Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital and Medical Center, Dr. Paulino J. Garcia Memorial Research and Medical Center, Bicol Regional Teaching and Training Hospital, Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Hospital, and East Avenue Medical Center. (Jill Beltran/Sunnex)

Philippines to be a tiger economy: book

Saturday, June 30, 2012
A NEW book tracking the progress of developing countries sees the Philippines joining an elite group of “tiger economies” in the world as a result of reforms and strong leadership of President Benigno Aquino III, Malacanang said on Saturday.
The book “Breakout Nations: In Pursuit of the Next Economic Miracles,” written by Ruchir Sharma, assessed the Philippines as one of the strongest emerging economies in the future where enhanced economic activities are to take place.
Have something to report? Tell us in text, photos or videos.
“Now at long last, the Philippines looks poised to resume a period of strong growth. The new President, Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino III, probably has enough support, and looks likely to generate just enough reform momentum, to get the job done. The Aquino name is still virtually synonymous with the promise of change,” Sharma wrote.
Sharma, one of the world’s largest investors in emerging markets for Morgan Stanley, said Filipinos saw Aquino as an honest figure who could deliver on the Aquino mandate for change and that the public was desperate after nine years of drift and decay under former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Aquino won the presidency at a time when it seemed that the whole country was in disrepair, he said, adding the President is delegating power to competent technocrats and seems to understand what needs to be done to get the country move forward.
In a recent Wall Street Journal report, the publication sees the Philippines having clear signs of being seen as one of the most resilient economies in a troubled global economy particularly as a result of the European crisis.
In a supplement entitled “Asia’s Euro Risk: How Asia Will Fare if Europe Cracks?,” the Wall Street Journal said only four economies were projected to have the strength to weather a European economic and financial crisis, namely Australia, China, Indonesia and the Philippines.
While other countries bear the brunt of the European fall out, these countries have deep government pockets that provide a buffer to economic shocks, the publication said.
“The Philippines is better prepared than in the past to withstand a downturn with a stronger government balance sheet and a robust domestic economy. Foreign reserves are high enough to fight capital flight,” according to WSJ’s brief assessment of the Philippines.
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam are among the Southeast Asian countries affected by a euro meltdown because of their high dependencies on European trade and greater exposure to European banks, WSJ said.
The Philippines had the second highest per capita income in Asia during the 1960s, next only to Japan. In the 1970s, South Korea and Taiwan overtook the Philippines in terms of per capita income. Other Asian neighbors like Malaysia, Thailand, China and Indonesia followed during the succeeding decades.

The service in this bar in Clark Freeport Zone is immaculate, not over the top but friendly and efficient, although there are just 2 or 3 servers.

Pampanga farmers to get fare share

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Regional Director Teofilo Inocencio on Wednesday assured farmers in Pampanga of their “just share” on agricultural benefits from the government.
“Nagsanib pwersa na po ang mga ahensiya ng pamahalaan upang lalo pang mapag-igi ang pagbibigay ng supporta sa ating mga magsasaka sa ating probinsiya,” Inocencio said.
He is referring to the joint effort of DAR, Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and other allied agencies to provide intensified support services to the farmers in the province.
Included in the support services to be given are farm mechanization, farm-to-market roads and bridges, livelihood including livestock, and other technical assistance.
“Uunahin lang po natin ang mga organized groups ng mga magsasaka dahil madali na po para sa kanila ang makatanggap ng ganitong tulong mula sa ahensiya,” Inocencio added.
He said after the land distribution aspect of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP), the farmers need to be given all-out support to maximize the potentials of the lands given to them.
“Magtuturo din tayo ng mga makabagong teknolohiya o pamamaraan upang lalo pang mapalaki ang ani ng ating mga magsasaka,” Inocencio stated.

“I will give credit to voters. We have very educated voters and they will say who the more qualified candidate is, what the record of each of us is,” Jun Magsaysay told the Inquirer in a phone interview.
Four scenarios
“If they want to vote for two Magsaysays, that’s possible,” he said, enumerating the scenarios. “But it might be that both of us will lose. Or she will win and I will lose or I will win and she may lose. There are four possible outcomes. I leave it to the voters. I believe in the voters’ instinct and good intelligence.”
The 74-year-old Magsaysay, who completed his second term as senator in 2007, said he accepted an invitation to run under the ruling Liberal Party last May, after consulting with family and friends. He admitted that he considered Mitos Magsaysay’s candidacy before making his decision.
“I said I have to talk to my wife, family and I have to check with some other people in light of my niece, Mitos, who was also running,” he recalled telling the group of Sen. Franklin Drilon, who sought to include him in the LP lineup.
“I had to clear up everything and finally, all of these people gave me the go-signal,” he added, noting, however, that it would be the LP national executive committee—and President Aquino—who would ultimately decide whether he would make it to the administration ticket.
Mitos Magsaysay is the daughter-in-law of Jun Magsaysay’s cousin, former Zambales Gov. Vicente Magsaysay. The former senator described his cousin as “like a brother to me.” He said he was in touch with Vicente, but has not talked with Mitos lately.
‘The real Magsaysay’
Drilon broke the news about Jun Magsaysay’s candidacy Thursday, saying the LP was fielding “the real Magsaysay.” The statement was seen as an attack on Mitos Magsaysay, who earlier announced her senatorial bid under the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA).
Jun Magsaysay said he had no problem going against Mitos Magsaysay in the same senatorial race.
“She’s her own person. She has her own qualifications and she has decided,” he said. “In my case, [my decision to run is] exclusive of what she did. I was offered [a slot] by the administration party and I thought of it very well.”
Jun Magsaysay sought to “simplify the issue” between his and his niece’s candidacy.
“Here’s a person who has been supporting the past administration (of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo). Mitos used to be with Lakas. Now, she is with UNA. That’s fine,” the former senator said.
No switching loyalties
In his case, Magsaysay said he “tried to maintain the standards” of his late father, former President Ramon Magsaysay. “Hindi naman ako pabali-balikwas (I don’t switch loyalties),” he said.
Jun Magsaysay, who used to be with Arroyo’s Senate coalition, noted that he investigated the P728-million fertilizer fund scam despite his alliance with the then President. The administration was then accused of diverting the fund and using it in the 2004 elections.
“I continued the public hearings and I suffered then,” he said, recalling Arroyo’s Executive Order No. 464, which kept government officials from testifying in Congress without Palace approval.
We waited for this leader
Jun Magsaysay said he agreed to Drilon’s invitation to continue the “reforms” he tried to push while he was a senator from 1995 to 2007.
“The main thing was after the impeachment, it suddenly dawned on me that this is the leader that we have been waiting for,” he said. “The President put out a lot of risk, and part of his political capital, to make this happen, to clean up the judiciary, starting with the highest.”
Based on a number of sources from Malacañang and Congress, the President has personally taken a direct hand in filling the administration’s senatorial ticket with his political allies from the Liberal Party making only recommendations.
“Most of the President’s choices are from other political parties and nongovernment organizations, with only two or three coming from the LP. This shows how involved the President is in the selection process and that current political affiliations would not get in the way of establishing firmer control of the Senate in the second half of his term,” said a non-LP representative who requested anonymity.
Five reelectionists
Aside from former Sen. Jun Magsaysay, the administration coalition slate would include the five reelectionists—Francis Escudero, Loren Legarda, Aquilino Pimentel III, Antonio Trillanes IV and Alan Peter Cayetano.
The President has earlier named three of his bets—Aurora Rep. Juan Edgardo Angara, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority chief Joel Villanueva and former Akbayan Rep. Risa Hontiveros.
Other LP bets
The sources said the President’s first cousin, former National Youth Commission chair Paolo Benigno “Bam” A. Aquino IV and Movie and Television Review and Classification Board chair Grace Poe-Llamanzares were “high” on the list of the President. The sources said the President was also open to include former Las Piñas Rep. Cynthia Villar, with negotiations between the LP and the Nacionalista Party going smoothly.
The other candidates shortlisted by the President were Quezon Rep. Lorenzo Tañada III, Customs Chief Rufino Biazon and his deputy, former Army Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim.
The sources said both Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas and Justice Secretary Leila de Lima have been asked to stay in their current posts.

Supreme Court grants clemency to Quezon City’s ‘jet ski’ judge

MANILA, Philippines—The Supreme Court has granted judicial clemency to a Quezon City judge who was earlier fined for his failure to decide on pending cases within the period required by law.
In a full court ruling signed by Felipa Anama, deputy clerk of court, the high court approved Judge Ralph Lee’s request for judicial clemency, which would make him eligible for nomination or appointment to a higher post in the judicial department.
“As the penalty of fine we imposed on Judge Lee exceeds P10,000, he is disqualified for appointment to any judicial post or as Ombudsman or Deputy Ombudsman unless judicial clemency is granted by the court under … [JBC rule],” the ruling noted.
The high court said it “now deems it fair, appropriate and timely to open the door to Judge Lee to allow him to seek further opportunities in the judiciary.”
Lee, a former agent of the National Bureau of Investigation, is known to be aspiring for the position of former NBI Director Magtanggol Gatdula who has been relieved of his post.
In March 2009, the Supreme Court fined Lee P20,000 after finding out that he had left several cases undecided when he was promoted from Metropolitan Trial Court Branch 38 judge to RTC Branch 83 judge. The justices found Lee liable for his failure to decide the cases within the period required by law.
The court also warned Lee that the repetition of the same or similar offense would be dealt with more severely.
It noted that Lee’s monthly report on August 2005 stated that he had no more pending cases in the MeTC. However, the court administrator found out that there were eight cases that Lee had failed to decide which he did not include in his report.
In a request dated Feb. 1, 2012, Lee appealed for judicial clemency, saying he was now at the point of his career where he is qualified to aspire for a higher position in the judiciary.
He said the sanction imposed on him “precludes him from qualifying for a promotion in the judiciary, or from being appointed to any similar government office where appointment is governed by the rules of the Judicial and Bar Council.”
Lee gained fame in September 2009 when he used his jet ski to rescue over 100 people in Novaliches, Quezon City, who were stranded on rooftops due to the floods spawned by Tropical Storm “Ondoy.”

Senate eyes moving to UP Diliman campus

MANILA, Philippines—A plan to look into the possibility of relocating the Senate to the sprawling University of the Philippines campus in Diliman, Quezon City, is drawing mixed reactions.
A UP administration official said the UP would be “open to the proposal,” adding that it might bring in much needed revenues to the struggling State University.
On the other hand, student regent Cleve Arguelles was not keen on the idea, saying it might bring stricter security measures, which may stifle campus freedom.
Sen. Franklin Drilon announced on Friday that the Senate was looking for a new and more permanent home, and the 492-hectare UP-Diliman campus was at the top of the list.
Drilon said the senators found their P110-million rent of the Government Service Insurance System building in Pasay City “impractical” and have formed a committee to look for alternative sites.
Other sites
Other sites being considered are the Film Center of the Philippines and the Post Office building in Manila. Another suggestion is to join the Lower House in the Batasang Pambansa complex, also in Quezon City. Drilon said the Senate could also purchase land and construct its own building.
The UP campus already hosts some government agencies like the Commission on Higher Education and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. The UP campus is government property. Under the UP Charter, it cannot be sold but it can be leased.
The university’s vice president for public affairs, Prospero de Vera, said the UP would be “open to the proposal” to lease land to the Senate.
“The terms must of course be favorable to UP and support the mandate of UP under RA 9500 (the UP Charter). As the Senate will still evaluate all its options, the parameters and terms will be formulated and negotiated once UP is selected by the Senate as the best place for its relocation,” the official said in a text message.
“The proposed transfer of the Senate to UP will bring our policy makers, many of them UP alumni, closer not only to their counterparts in the House of Representatives but also to UP’s specialized institutes and experts, increase our involvement in policy making and highlight our public service role as the national university. It will also help the modernization of UP properties and bring much needed additional revenues to UP,” de Vera added.
But the student regent said the presence of the Senate could mean stricter security measures which may result in stifling certain academic freedoms and other liberties.
More security in a campus known for student activism may not be the right mix,
Arguelles said.
“We might end up feeling like visitors in our own campus when in fact it is our university,” he said in a phone interview.
Arguelles also hit the legislative branch for giving state-run schools meager budgets, adding: “And they have the gall to move here?”
But should the Senate push through with its plan, Arguelles said he will hold consultations with the student body before the matter is decided upon by the Board of Regents, UP’s highest decision making body.
Unified Congress
Meanwhile, members of the House of Representatives have offered the Batasan complex in Quezon City as the site of a “unified Congress.”
Muntinlupa Rep. Rodolfo Biazon said that it was about time that the two chambers of Congress work together in one place to further enhance their working relationship.
“I think the Senate deserves to have a place it could call its own for respectability. I don’t think any other Senate is renting aside from ours,” said Biazon, a former senator, in a phone interview.
Nueva Ecija Rep. Rodolfo Antonino said: “Having the Senate and Congress in one place is the most ideal situation. If there is room in the Batasan complex, we can accommodate them. If not, then they should put up a building in one of the government lots in near Batasan.”
