Senate President Pro Tempore John Osmeña called yesterday for the
restructuring of the Energy Regulatory Board (ERB) to make it attuned to the
present deregulated environment of the oil industry.

(ARMM) if that is the clamor of an overwhelming majority of the local

revenues so its autonomy would be complete.

"Political autonomy is meaningless without fiscal autonomy.
