Rep. Hermilando I. Mandanas of the Second District of Batangas says proceeds from the development, lease or use of state properties can be tapped to war veterans and retirees.
Mandanas has in fact asked Congress to pass a bill allowing the earnings from the properties allocated for the veterans and retirees, many of whom have not been paid for the past 15 years.
The properties include the former site of the Philippine Veterans’ Affairs Office on Arro*ceros Street in Ermita, Manila, the Veterans’ Memorial Medical Center in Quezon City, the Taguig Industrial Estates and the properties given by the Japanese government to the Philippine government under the Reparations Agreement, including the Roppongi, Nampeidai and Fujimi properties in Tokyo and the Naniwacho and Obanoyama properties in Kobe.

The properties in Japan has always been involved in controversies - I thought the news might be of interest to some of our TF friends who fought against the attempted sale years ago...
