MANILA, Philippines — Jen Eslapor and Kly Orillaneda gave Australia’s Tara Phillips and Elizabeth Alchin a scare before bowing, 16-21, 15-21, yesterday in the round of 16 of the Smart Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Beach Tour Nuvali Open.

Philippine Infradev [INFRA 0.57, up 9.6%] [link] COO Georgina Monsod gave an interview with Hitoshi Iemura of Global Strategy Real Estate that was posted on Youtube on Nov. 28, 2023, where she spoke about the September court decision that altered the land distribution between Taguig and Makati, and about how that might impact INFRA’s crown jewel project, the Makati City Subway. This interview appears to have happened nearly three months after the court decision and the INFRA disclosure where the company stated that the “alignment of the subway will no longer be feasible” due to several stations now belonging to Taguig. In the interview, Mr. Iemura asks plainly, “What’s going on with the Makati City Subway project construction? How will you proceed?” Ms. Monsod responds that they are “undergoing some reviews”, but assures Mr. Iemura that “we are not very affected” and that “the project will still continue”. Later in the interview, Ms. Monsod says that they’re “looking at another plan”, and then vaguely notes that they might “look at modernizing the project”. Even stranger was the comment that INFRA is “looking at maybe another plan for another form of subway, another form of transportation, but still the rail.”
MANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has 270,000 plastic cards left in its inventory amid legal obstacles faced by the agency, which?supply could last for only two weeks or until the end of January.
