                    [Summary] => DAVAO CITY — Speaker Jose de Venecia said the process of establishing a government of national unity has begun. 


"This is part of the process of reaching out. This is the beginning of the government of national unity," De Venecia told The STAR Sunday night as he was about to leave the birthday celebration of House Majority Leader Prospero Nograles at the Apo View Hotel here. 


The party was also attended by President Arroyo, who sat between two top House opposition lawmakers — Agusan Rep. Rodolfo Plaza and Iloilo Rep. Rolex Suplico.

The hearing to be conducted by the committee on banks is on the controversial sale of 33 percent of UOBP (formerly Westmont Bank) shares by the group of Espiritu to his Singaporean partners. The sale made the Singaporeans the majority owners of the bank.

Arroyo and Mendoza celebrated their birthday yesterday at the Senate and were greeted by well-wishers led by their former law professor, Chief Justice Hilario Davide, who is presiding over the impeachment court.

Two major generating plants of the National Power Corp. (Napocor) in Mindanao
will remain government property as Congress excluded them from privatization
under the controversial Omnibus Power Bill.

Agusan Rep. Roan Libarios said a provision of the measure exempted the Agus and
Pulangui facilities from partial or full privatization.

Libarios said the proviso was a last-minute insertion in House Bill (HB) 8457
that seeks to deregulate the power industry in the country.
