                    [Summary] => The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee headed by Sen. Joker Arroyo has ordered the arrest of a supposed "bagman" of the Philippine International Air Terminals Co. (Piatco) for allegedly ignoring a committee subpoena to appear in yesterday’s hearing.


The bagman, identified as Emmanuel Cuevas, wrote a letter to the committee last week expressing his willingness to appear at the public hearing on the Piatco contract to build Terminal 3 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

                    [Summary] => "All conceivable anomalies could be found in this single contract."


Sen. Joker Arroyo, chairman of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, made this comment on the very first day of hearing on the status and operations of the multibillion-dollar Casecnan hydroelectric project.


An inter-agency review committee had previously identified the Casecnan project as one of 27 anomalous contracts entered into by the government with independent power producers. The contract involves the payment of about P6.8 billion a year or P137 billion over 20 years for power and water.
