P18.7 billion Laguna Lake Rehabilitation Project

The government has put on hold the P18.7 billion Laguna Lake Rehabilitation Project for further review despite a go signal given by the Department of Justice.

“Yes the DoJ confirmed that that's a legal transaction but I'm in coordination with the Secretary of DENR to review the project. So we're putting it on hold,” Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima told the Senate finance committee during its initial deliberations of the proposed P1.645-trillion national budget for 2011.

DENR is Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

But while in the process of review, Purisima said the government will pay the “commitment fees” for this project. He did not say, however, how much this would cost the government.

The lake project was tagged as among the so-called “midnight deals” of the previous Arroyo administration.

But the justice department issued an opinion affirming earlier findings that the Laguna Lake project, funded through an Official Development Assistance, was considered an executive agreement and therefore not covered by the Government Procurement Act that required public bidding.

The supply contract was signed by the DENR and BDC, a Belgian firm, for dredging the lake and the construction of a ferry system.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Is Laguna Lake same as Laguna Bay?

Yes, here is from Wikipedia;

Laguna de Bay (Filipino: Lawa ng Bay; English: Lake of Bay) is the largest lake in the Philippines and the third largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia (in terms of surface area) after Tonle Sap in Cambodia and Lake Toba in Sumatra, Indonesia. It is on the island of Luzon between the provinces of Laguna to the south and Rizal to the north. Metro Manila  lies on its western shore. Its surface area is 949 square kilometers and has an average depth of only about 2 meters. The lake is shaped like a stylised 'W', with two peninsulas jutting out from the northern shore. Between these peninsulas, the middle lobe fills a large volcanic caldera. Laguna de Bay drains to Manila Bay via the Pasig River. The lake is one of the primary sources of freshwater fish in the country.

There is a large island in the lake, Talim Island, which is under the jurisdiction of the towns of Binangonan and Cardona in Rizal province.
