                    [Summary] => The Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM) will start its international roadshow presentation in Asia this month. 


 "PSALM will conduct a roadshow very soon or within the month to sell and explain fully the privatization of transmission assets to the potential investors," a Transco official, who requested anonymity, said yesterday.


According to the Transco official, the roadshow will start in Asia as most of the investors that expressed interest in Transco are Asian-based firms.

Gonzaga, who just arrived from Spain, said a number of Spanish have indicated a keen interest and have in fact expressed a desire to take a look at Transco.
