| Lamps supplier demands P104M payment
MANILA -- One of the two contractors who delivered lampposts for the Asean summit in Cebu asked the government Sunday to honor their contract and pay them at least P104 million.
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) have yet to pay P104 million out of the P150-million total contract price for the installation of 1,740 lampposts, said engineer Dante Valencia, executive vice president and general manager of Gampik Construction.

In a briefing in Makati, Valencia said the two agencies should not include them in the cease-and-desist order issued by the Office of the Ombudsman last March 16.
That order directed the DBM to stop releasing payment to the contractors, until the controversy is resolved.
Simple spring makeover
My gold Marc Jacobs wedges are the perfect way to give my jeans and tees an instant update. A vibrant green tote? Guaranteed to bring new life to so many of last year's looks. With endless options for updating my wardrobe, I can't help but lust for a way to give my home a spring overhaul. I redesigned almost every room three years ago and, although it's not nearly time to renovate, I'm looking for a little change. Suzanne Fast, owner of Suzanne Fast Design in Kingston, suggests giving my home a seasonal update by introducing one new concept or item to each room, similar to the way I brought new life to my wardrobe. "It's amazing how one simple change can update an entire room," says Ms. Fast. One of the best ways to give any room an instant makeover is through colour. If you're like me, your home is filled with earth tones and many shades of brown.

Several projects, which fall under the armpit of the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands' Rural Development (Survey, Land Administration, Settlement and Land Reform) programme, will benefit from an allocation of $176.98 million during this fiscal year.
