                    [Summary] => Political will and not any compromise deal would speed up the utilization of the coconut levy funds, a non-government organization (NGO) helping coconut farmer-claimants said yesterday.


According to Romeo Royandoyan, executive director the Centro Saka Inc. (formerly Philippine Peasant Institute), only the keen interest of the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) and Malacañang, and the persistence of the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) would be able to expedite the acquisition and disbursement of the 27 percent shares in San Miguel Corp. (SMC).
