                    [Summary] => Nerwin Industries Corp. scored yesterday National Electrification Administration (NEA) acting Administrator Francisco Silva for violating the principle of sub judici by arguing in a public forum a case still pending in court.


In a press statement, Nerwin said it was highly improper for Silva "to make any statement either favorable  or unfavorable to his camp simply because the subject controversy is already filed in court."

Another bidder in the stalled P900-million rural electrification project of the government is crying "foul," saying the National Electrification Administration (NEA) had counted it out in the "negotiated bidding."


Ed Garcia, country manager of the Australia-based Koppers Timber Preservation, which reportedly submitted the second lowest bid, said "we were shocked to learn that the NEA wanted to give the contract to the highest bidder."
