Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. urged the National Bureau of Investigation and the Philippine National Police to review the cases that were handled by Assistant Solicitor General Nestor Ballacillo who murdered together with his son last Dec. 6. 


Pimentel said the killing of Ballacillo was due to his persistence in unearthing the alleged irregularities behind the construction of the Ninoy Aquilino International Airport-Terminal 3.

                    [Summary] => The Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) asked the Supreme Court yesterday to allow the power distribution giant to raise its rates after its petition for a rate hike was granted by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).


During oral arguments on the case, Meralco lawyer Benjamin Santos said the ERC did not commit grave abuse of discretion when it granted Meralco’s request last Nov. 27 for a rate increase of 12 centavos per kilowatt hour.
