                    [Summary] => The French multinational Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux has expressed its intention to stay in the Maynilad water project when the Arroyo administration puts it back in the market for privatization after the pull-out of the Lopez-owned Benpres Holdings. 


Finance officials told reporters yesterday that the French group has "every intention" of staying in the project once the smoke clears out on the government take over.

(Maynilad), forcing the Arroyo administration into a $20-million debt-for-equity swap that would give the government a 30-percent share in the collapsed consortium.

Sources revealed yesterday that the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) would enter into a debt-for-equity swap for a total of $20 million, immediately giving it 30 percent of Maynilad.

It resurrects the stubborn question of whether or not Estrada was legally forced out of office on Jan. 20, 2001. The Supreme Court ruling that then Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo validly became the president upon Estrada’s resignation left many legal loose ends hanging.
