[Title] => Arroyo calls special session for power bill
[Summary] => President Arroyo announced yesterday she will convene Congress to another round of special sessions, possibly after the May polls, for the ratification of the long-delayed Omnibus Power Sector Reform bill.
At the same time, the President said she has decided to make permanent the suspension of a 20-centavo per kilowatt-hour rate hike under the power purchase adjustment (PPA) scheme of state-owned National Power Corp. (Napocor).
Mrs. Arroyo made the twin announcements in Leyte, one of the stops in her official tour of the Visayas.

[Title] => Napocor debts hit P900 billion as of December 2000
[Summary] => A whopping P900 billion and still rising.
This is how much state-owned National Power Corp. (Napocor) owes foreign and local creditors as of last year, Napocor officials announced yesterday.
But this doesn’t worry the cash-strapped power firm since taxpayers are expected to shoulder some P200 billion of this amount once the Omnibus Power Sector Reform (OPSR) bill is passed by Congress.
The P200 billion represents Napocor’s obligations and other costs in privatizing power generation companies, small power utility grids and transmission companies.

[Title] => Massive energy shortage feared
[Summary] => The country will face another massive power shortage in the next three to five years if the government pursues its plan of scrapping the controversial Omnibus Power Sector Reform (OPSR) bill.
Sources in the energy sector said the scrapping of the OPSR would result in the withholding of the release of multilateral loans that would fund various power projects in the country.
"Depending on the growth demand, the country will be faced with a huge power problem starting from 2004 to 2006," the source said, requesting anonymity.
