Two close friends passed away last week a few days after my Leni had gone. OSCAR M. LOPEZ (OML), 93, was a man of honor, dignity, and integrity; he was courageous, patriotic, and quixotic.

(MPIC) chaired by Manuel V. Pangilinan. When the agreement was to be ratified during an FPH board meeting, an urgent letter was received offering 'P500 million more to whatever amount MPIC had agreed to pay.
