                    [Summary] => 



Trans-Asia Oil and Energy Development Corp. (TA Oil), the publicly-listed oil and gas exploration firm of the Phinma Group, will allot P500 million for its capital expenditure this year.


TA Oil president Francisco Viray said the budget would allow the firm to join the bidding for the 600-megawatt Masinloc coal-fired power plant set this July.

According to Viray, they have raised their capex allocation to be able to participate in the said bidding process.

In 2006, the company had set aside P300 million for its capex.

PSALM president Nieves L.

Pimentel said YNN Pacific lost its right to acquire the power plant when the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management (PSALM) Corp. confiscated its $14-million performance bond.
