MANILA: Seven years after the death of University of Santo Tomas (UST) law freshman Horacio “Atio” Castillo III due to fraternity hazing injuries, a Manila court found 10 of his Aegis Juris upperclassmen guilty on Tuesday (Oct 1), sentencing each to up to 40 years in prison.

THE US Commerce Department set preliminary duties on solar imports from Southeast Asia, after an initial finding the equipment is benefiting from illegal government aid.

The case marks only the latest bid by US manufacturers to confront overseas rivals, beginning with similar duties on solar imports from China roughly 12 years ago. Chinese manufacturers responded by setting up operations in other Asian nations that weren’t affected by the tariffs. "We need effective solutions that support US solar manufacturers and, at the same time, help us deploy clean energy at the scale and the speed we need to tackle climate change and serve growing electricity demand here in the US,” said Abigail Ross Hopper, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association."While we recognize the challenging market landscape for domestic manufacturers in the short term, these cases alone will not solve for our macro challenges.

The preliminary rates generally were lower than anticipated, analysts said. However, final rates likely are to be higher than initially assessed, as in past solar trade cases, and Commerce has only recently begun probing several newly lodged subsidy allegations, said Tim Brightbill, partner at Wiley Rein LLP and lead counsel to the petitioners.
