SPNEC to rebrand as MGEN Renewable Energy Holdings amid scrutiny over Leviste links
MANILA, Philippines – SP New Energy Corporation (SPNEC), now controlled by tycoon Manuel V. Pangilinan, is rebranding to MGEN Renewable Energy Holdings (MGENR) amid heightened scrutiny over its links to its previous owner, Batangas 1st District Representative Leandro Leviste.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Thursday, January 22, SPNEC said its board of directors approved the rebranding to MGENR and the change of its stock symbol. The rebrand is currently pending approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

SPNEC also informed the investing public that it has amended its articles of incorporation and by-laws to reflect this change.
“This is part and parcel of the gradual rollout and implementation of the overall branding strategy of the Meralco PowerGen Corporation Group,” the company wrote.
The rebrand comes amid heightened scrutiny over Leviste’s ties to the firm. Although Leviste sold his controlling stake in SPNEC to Pangilinan’s MGen Renewable Energy Incorporated in October for P13.8 billion, the businessman-turned-politician retains ownership over SPNEC’s parent firm, Solar Philippines Power Project Holdings Incorporated (SPPPHI).
The neophyte congressman also remains vice chair of SPNEC’s board.
The Department of Energy (DOE) earlier slapped some P24 billion in penalties on Solar Philippines for failing to deliver some 12,000 megawatts in renewable energy projects that were due to come on stream in 2024 and 2025.
Ombudsman Boying Remulla has accused Leviste of making billions of pesos from the alleged sale of a congressional franchise to Pangilinan.
Leviste has since denied the allegations as Solar Para sa Bayan – another Solar Philippines subsidiary that was granted a franchise – stopped operations in 2022.
He clarified that the SPNEC was a separate entity from Solar Para sa Bayan, and the former has no congressional franchise.
Even then, SPNEC took over DOE contracts of other Solar Philippines subsidiaries, such as the Sta. Rosa, Nueva Ecija solar power project awarded to Solar Philippines Commercial Rooftop Projects. – Rappler.com

Cardano Latest News, Pi Network Price Prediction and The Best Meme Coin To Buy In 2025
The post Cardano Latest News, Pi Network Price Prediction and The Best Meme Coin To Buy In 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pi Network is rearing its head, and Cardano is trying to recover from a downtrend. But the go to option this fall is Layer Brett, a meme coin with utility baked into it. $LBRETT’s presale is not only attractive, but is magnetic due to high rewards and the chance to make over 100x gains. Layer Brett Is Loading: Join or You’re Wrecked The crypto crowd loves to talk big numbers, but here’s one that’s impossible to ignore: Layer 2 markets are projected to process more than $10 trillion per year by 2027. That tidal wave is building right now — and Layer Brett is already carving out space to ride it. The presale price? A tiny $0.0058. That’s launchpad level, the kind of entry point that fuels 100x gains if momentum kicks in. Latecomers will scroll through charts in regret while early entrants pocket the spoils. Layer Brett is more than another Layer 2 solution. It’s crypto tech wrapped in meme energy, and that mix is lethal in the best way. Blazing-fast transactions, negligible fees, and staking rewards that could make traditional finance blush. Stakers lock in a staggering 700% APY. But every new wallet that joins cuts into that yield, so hesitation is expensive. And let’s not forget the kicker — a massive $1 million giveaway fueling even more hype around the presale. Combine that with a decentralized design, and you’ve got something that stands out in a space overcrowded with promises. This isn’t some slow-burning project hoping to survive. Layer Brett is engineered to explode. It’s raw, it’s loud, it’s built for the degens who understand that timing is everything. At $0.0058, you’re either in early — or you’re out forever. Is PI the People’s Currency? Pi Network’s open mainnet unlocks massive potential, with millions of users completing…
