As I noted in an update to the article above, the journalist probably got it wrong – the downpayment was 40% apparently.

Several articles reported the other bid prices. Here’s one: http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=business1_july27_2007

$710 million – First Gen
$650 million – Anglo Cayman Energy Dev. (China)
$606 million – Suez-Tractabel
$588 million – Ranhill Berhad

It’s not clear to me if there was a sixth bidder. Apparently Trans-Asia Oil did not submit a bid.

Nick,

I didn’t know about Cyril’s claim of lowering atmospheric temperature and don’t know the science of this, much less the benefit-cost considerations.

I have not seen any report on how much the other parties bid for Masinloc.
