State-run Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM) has rejected the new condition offered by South Premiere Power Corp. (SPPC) in paying ahead its obligations for administering a power plant in Batangas.
In a statement released by the Department of Finance (DOF), it said the new condition recently imposed by SPPC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SMC Global Power Corp., for the P22.68 billion accumulated monthly payments to PSALM until June 2022 has been thumbed down.
Quoting PSALM President and CEO Irene Besido Garcia, the DOF said that SPPC’s offer “unexpectedly contained the preposterous condition” that is “entirely differs from the tenor of SPPC’s original offer.”
