[Title] => ERC resolves 76% of unbundling rate cases by distribution utilities
[Summary] => The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has resolved more than 76 percent of the total number of unbundling rate cases filed by distribution utilities as of June 8, the top ERC official said.
ERC chairman Rodolfo Albano said the Commission has also completed the evaluation of 89 percent of the unbundling rate cases.
"Unbundling is such an enormous responsibility that the ERC had to focus on given the very short deadline set by the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) and the Commission’s limited financial and human resources," Albano said.

[Title] => Rate unbundling no guarantee of lower power rates — Meralco
[Summary] => The rate unbundling, filed with the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) by the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) and other utility distributors, emerged as a hot issue in the long drawn debates over the controverial purchased power adjustment (PPA).

[Title] => ‘Guess’ billboards reek with sex and depravity
[Summary] => Peddling Jeans, Or Sex?: What is Guess® trying to do aside from selling jeans and such gear? Is it so desperate to catch attention and shore up sales that it has to plant indecent billboards all over town showing young couples in suggestive poses?
The most common layout of Guess billboards shows a young man forcing himself between the sprawled legs of a girl who, like him, is panting for sex. These bigger-than-life billboards are seen daily by impressionable youngsters.
