Chiz: No excuse for reckless decisions of dam operators Opposition Senator Chiz Escudero said on Saturday there is no excuse for reckless decisions when lives are at stake. Escudero said the admission of the National Power Corporation that its guidelines were outdated shouldn’t automatically excuse them from any possible prosecution. “I am more determined than
ever to assist the victims in filing a class suit against the operators of dams. Their greed was more devastating than the rains brought about by Pepeng and Ondoy,” he said. Escudero added that Napocor has drowned the residents of Pangasinan yet again in Friday’s hearing after their executives commended their dam operators for

4 months remaining to file Filipino WWII veterans equity compensation claims Filipino World War II (WWII) veterans have until February 16, 2010 to file their claims for the FVEC benefit that was included among the many provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law February 17, 2009 by U.S. President Barack Obama. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 formally recognizes the service of qualified Filipino WWII veterans as active military service in the U.S. Armed Forces for purposes of this law. It authorizes a one-time lumpsum payment of US $15,000 to eligible Filipino WW II
veterans with U.S. citizenship and US $9,000 to non-U.S. citizen veterans. The United States has approved US $198 million for the benefit of all eligible Filipino WWII veterans. This additional payment will not change or affect other benefits an individual may be currently receiving. The United States Embassy, through its United States Department of Veterans Affairs Manila Regional Office (USDVA), has already processed more than 11,000 FVEC claims and has paid out almost $100 million for this benefit. For those claimants who have not yet filed an PAGE 6
