[Title] => DOE to review its position on baseoil tariff
[Summary] => It’s back to square one for Senate Bill 2267 which proposes to increase baseoil tariff to as much as 20 percent.
"We will restudy our position," said Energy Secretary Jose Isidro Camacho. "I think this is not as immediate issue" as the passage of the Power Sector Reform Bill.
Under SB 2267, the current three percent tariff on imported lubricants, baseoils and asphalts will be increased to 15 percent (for ASEAN origin) and to 20 percent (for other countries of origin). The tariff will stay at three percent for locally-produced products.

[Title] => Napocor faces another downgrade by S&P
[Summary] => International credit rating agency, Standard and Poor’s (S&P), will maintain a negative rating and may even downgrade the National Power Corp. (Napocor) as a result of its continuing failure to shore up its finances.
"They (S&P) have indicated that (possible downgrade)," Napocor sources said, adding that the credit rating of the power firm, however, still depends on the National Government. "The company’s rating is the same as that of the NG as Napocor debts are guaranteed by the government."

[Summary] => The National Power Corp. (Napocor) will push through with its planned $300-million bond flotation in June this year only if the Power Sector Reform Bill (PSRB) is passed by Congress, a company official said.

President Estrada has assured the country's top foreign creditors that he would
not pursue his proposed Constitutional Correction for Development (Concord) for
now as he wanted Congress to prioritize some pending economic reform bills.
The President, at a press briefing yesterday, said he has officially told the

Concord aside.
He said the two agencies need not worry that Concord would further delay the
completion of key reforms in the country's economy.
