Eastern claims Petron blocking Subic facility

OIL retailer Eastern Petroleum Corp. yesterday accused Petron Corp. of "bullying" and blocking the opening of Eastern's "mega facility" at Subic free port.

Eastern Petroleum President Ferdinand L. Martinez told reporters he had received information from Subic that the firm's 4,000-square-meter facility near Petron's own station is being blocked because of an exclusivity clause in Petron's lease agreement with the Subic Bay Metropolitan Administration (SBMA).

"We are seeing monopolistic tendencies from Petron. The biggest station so far of our company is being blocked by Petron and the SBMA is suddenly not granting us building permits. According to SBMA there is an exclusivity clause with Petron," said Mr. Martinez.

He noted that Eastern Petroleum had been allowed by the SBMA board to build its facility but the company's application for a building permit has been pending since May.

Petron, which has a 3,000-square-meter facility in Subic, said yesterday its contract should be honored.

"Petron welcomes competition which is the true spirit of deregulation.

When we invested in Subic almost a decade ago, there was a provision approved by the SBMA board stating that no similar business would be established within an 800-meter radius of our facility. This is standard for many investment locations," Petron spokeswoman Charmaine V. Canillas said in a statement.

Mr. Martinez pointed out that a smaller gas station of PTT is located near Petron's facility.

Eastern Petroleum plans to bring the issue to the Department of Energy. "We have already invested P50 million into the mega station," said Mr. Martinez. -- Emilia Narni J. David -- bworldonline.com

Gov't selling stake in Subic Shipyard

The government is wrapping up the sale of its 10 percent stake in Subic Shipyard in Olongapo, Zambales, to meet its reduced privatization goal of P2 billion this year.

Finance Undersecretary John Philip Sevilla yesterday said the 10 percent share of the government in Subic Shipyard should fetch between P400 million and P700 million.

Sevilla, the point person for privatization, said the Subic Shipyard stake is among the small-ticket items lined up for sale this year, including "various pieces of real estate."

"These are all small-ticket items but negotiations are now in the advanced stages," he said,

Sevilla said government remains optimistic of meeting its privatization goal this year after lowering it from the original P30 billion.

The major assets in the original P30 billion target included the Food Terminal Inc. property in Taguig City and the share of PNOC-Exploration Corp. in the Malampaya gas consortium.

Sevilla said the sale of the Navy lots along Roxas Boulevard and in Fort Bonifacio may have to wait since the Navy needs to secure congressional. The Department of Finance has a lot of catching up to do to meet its privatization goal with barely three weeks to go before the year ends.

As of the third quarter, the DOF registered a privatization income of P400 million.

Keppel Marine Philippines Inc., a unit of Keppel Singapore, is the single biggest shareowner of Subic Shipyard and Engineering Inc. with 41.6 percent after buying out the interests of International Container Terminal Services Inc., Magsaysay Shipping Corp., SM Development Corp., and Insular Life Assurance Co.

Balikbayan from NY claims P741-M grand lotto prize

The suspense is over.

A 60-year-old balikbayan from New York City showed up yesterday at the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) in Pasay City and claimed the P741,176,323.20 jackpot of the 6/55 Grand Lotto on-line lottery draw last Nov 29, ending wild speculations on who the lone winner was.

Jose Ferdinand Rojas II, PCSO general manager, told The STAR that the winner was with his family and was shopping at the Royal Duty Free at the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) in Olongapo City when he decided to buy five lotto tickets using the lucky pick system, wherein the computer picks the number combination for the bettor.

The lotto outlet owned by Necitas Garcia that is located inside the Royal Duty Free at the SBMA sold the ticket with the winning number combination 11-16-42-47-31-37.

"He has been a lotto fan in the US," he said.

Rojas said the winner, who is married and a devout Catholic, plans to donate a portion of his winnings to charity and his relatives in the Philippines, and put the rest of the jackpot in the bank.

The lucky winner of the biggest lotto jackpot since the PCSO launched the on-line lottery in 1995 said he would return to the US and retire there.

He will return to the Philippines after one year and retire here and live on the interest of his huge bank

Several men carrying handheld radios escorted the winner to the PCSO.

As a policy the identies of lotto winners are kept secret for security reasons.

The STAR spotted Interior and Local Government Secretary Jessie Robredo near the room where the winner was waiting for his check.

A PCSO official said that the presence of Robredo was just a coincidence.

The winner and his escorts, for security and confidentiality purposes, had told PSCO security guards that they wanted to visit PCSO chair Margie Juico or the general manager.

The visitors were told to get security passes but when they reached the chairman's office, the winner revealed that he would claim the jackpot.

"It took only an hour and the winner got the jackpot prize intact," Rojas said

The lotto jackpot was finally released after a nationwide frenzy over the Grand Lotto jackpot.

Juico said the lotto jackpot generated total sales of P4.1 billion in 86 draws.

She said 30 percent of lotto sales are used for medical and health services of indigent patients nationwide, including hospitalization assistance, medical/dental missions and ambulance donations, among other charity concerns. By Perseus Echeminada (The Philippine Star)

Winner of P741.176-M lotto jackpot - placed bet in Olongapo City


Weeks of suspense finally came to an end Monday night as a lone lucky bettor from Luzon managed to crack the biggest jackpot in the country's lottery history, winning some P741.176 million.

Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) chairwoman Margarito Juico on Tuesday said the winning bet for the 6/55 Grand Lotto was placed in Olongapo City in Zambales province in Central Luzon.

"Ang alam lang namin tumaya siya sa pamamagitan ng Lucky Pick doon sa Olongapo City. Taga-roon siya o tumaya lang doon (What we know is that the winner either resides in Olongapo City or placed his or her bet using the Lucky Pick method in an Olongapo City lotto outlet)," Juico said in an interview on dzBB radio.

Earlier, PCSO assistant general manager for online lottery Liza Gabuyo said the winner will be P741,176,323.20 richer, for getting the winning combination: 11-16-42-47-31-37.

Juico said the winner should sign his or her name at the back of the ticket before going to the PCSO office at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).

She said the winner can then bring the ticket to the treasury section of the PCSO at the Cultural Center of the Philippines complex in Pasay City.

If the winner is afraid of going there personally, he or she can have a lawyer with a special power of attorney represent him or her.

She said the winner can also opt to deposit the check immediately at a Land Bank of the Philippines branch inside the PCSO.

Juico said the PCSO will not advise the winner what to do with his or her winnings.

"Basta pagbigay namin ng tseke sila ang bahala ... ayaw namin lumabas na parang nagkainterest sa kanyang premyo (Once we turn over the check our job is done. We do not want to make it appear we are interested in a share of the winnings)," she said.

Filipino bettors – including lawmakers and Palace officials – had bought tickets in past weeks for a shot at becoming instant millionaires.

The betting had raised concerns from Catholic Church officials, who said the lotto fever may promote dependence on luck instead of hard work.

Juico said PCSO ticket sales for the Grand Lotto draw reached P266 million as of Monday night alone.

She said that while Grand Lotto started last May, sales only picked up in November when the jackpot reached P300 million.

"Nag-pick up ito noong November na, umabot ng P300 million doon nag-pick up, maraming tumaya (Sales picked up in November when the jackpot reached P300 million)," she said. — LBG, GMANews.TV
