[Title] => Malacañang amenable to extending deadline to YNN-Ranhill
[Summary] => Citing national interest, Malacañang said yesterday it is amenable to extending the deadline given to YNN-Ranhill consortium to pay $227.54 million as a down payment for the purchase of a 600-kilowatt power plant in Masinloc, Zambales.

[Title] => Lawmakers want power plant contract scrapped
[Summary] => Congressmen vowed yesterday to scrap the sale of the P30-billion power plant in Masinloc, Zambales and ask for a new bidding if the winning bidder fails to deliver the $227-million down payment to the government on Friday.
"That is the only logical course of action that the government, through the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management (PSALM) Corp., should take if the bidder fails to meet its third deadline on June 30," said Rep. Teodoro Casiño of the party-list group Bayan Muna.

[Summary] => ILIGAN CITY — The second phase of reforms to address soaring oil prices, issues on taxes, terrorism, and the creation of some four to six million jobs will soon get underway, President Arroyo said here yesterday.
