                    [Title] => Napocor, CBK Power may go into arbitration to settle dispute
                    [Summary] => The National Power Corp. (Napocor) and the Caliraya-Botocan-Kalayaan (CBK) Power Corp. are likely to enter into an arbitration to settle the capital recovery fee (CRF) which reportedly has not been paid by the state-run power firm since the start of 2003. 


"It is one of the options we are looking at. But we are still negotiating the contract with CBK. Pursuant to their contract, if both parties have some issues that can not be resolved, they can always go into arbitration," a Napocor official, who requested anonymity, said.

(Napocor) belied yesterday reports of having overpaid CBK Power Co., Ltd. in capacity recovery fees (CRF), for rehabilitation works done on the Caliraya-Botocan-Kalayaan power complex in Laguna.

The allegation on the overpayment was done during a Senate hearing on the issue conducted by Sen. Serge Osmeña.

Napocor corporate secretary Alberto L. Pangcog, who was Napocor’s general counsel at the time CBK contract was negotiated and signed, said the Senate seems to be a little confused on the issue.
