                    [Title] => Power law revisions to take 10 years
                    [Summary] => Outgoing Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile said yesterday it would be very difficult to re-open the Electric Industry Act for possible amendments.


He also said it could take lawmakers another 10 years to come up with an improved version of the new law.

Enrile, who had strongly opposed the ratification of the measure, belittled the President’s assurance of improvements, saying the interest involved is "too entrenched."

"It will be the case of the big fish eating the smaller ones," he said, referring to big business groups that could monopolize the power industry.
