MANILA, Philippines — The National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) must return to consumers the fees it collected for the electricity transmission projects that have not been completed, Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian said on Sunday, as he urged the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to flex its oversight muscles on the country's sole power grid operator. NGCP, however, defended the charges, saying this had been in place since the government operated the grid. It also maintained that it has 'outspent government' and improved power transmission since it took over.

FRANKFURT -The European Central Bank risks losing sight of corporate profits as a driver of inflation – or 'greedflation' in market parlance – by zeroing in on wage growth which still lags far behind prices, economists said on Friday. ECB President Christine Lagarde singled out rising salaries as a prime cause for high growth in prices at her news conference on Thursday as she signaled at least one more interest rate increase by the euro zone's central bank. The renewed focus on the labor market – on which policymakers 'spent a lot of time' at their two-day meeting, Lagarde said – marked a pivot back for the ECB, which had been giving more prominence to the issue of high corporate margins in recent communication.

We are back this week to continue our study of The Universal Father, the first source and center of all things. We will be exploring Section 5 of that paper, Personality in the Universe! So far, in this study we've learned that God is a creator, a controller, and an upholder, and that all enlightened beings worship God the Father and have one supreme ambition-to become like him. Also that the enlightened worlds all recognize and worship God as the eternal maker and infinite upholder of all creation.
