Item 5.  Other Events

Recent  demands for the  resignation  of  President  Estrada  together  with the
resignations  of cabinet  members  and other key  governmental  officials  could
result  in  a  change  in  the  near  future  in  the   Presidency  and  overall
administration  of the  government  of the Republic of the  Philippines.  Such a
change is not expected  to, but could,  adversely  affect CE Casecnan  Water and
Energy  Company,  Inc. (the  "Company"),  which is  constructing a multi-purpose
irrigation and 150 megawatt hydroelectric power facility project (the "Project")
on the island of Luzon.

The Company expects the Republic of the Philippines and the National  Irrigation
Administration  ("NIA")  to abide by the  terms  of  their  agreements  with the
Company as they relate to the Project.  The NIA is obligated to make payments to
the Company for water and  electricity  fees and the Republic of the Philippines
has a related sovereign performance undertaking. Although the obligations of the
NIA and the Republic of the  Philippines  under these  agreements  are in no way
dependent on maintaining any particular Philippine government  administration in
place, it is possible, however, that the Philippine government uncertainty could
have an adverse impact on the Project.
