[Title] => Investors’ nightmare
[Summary] => One of the salient features of President Arroyo’s 10-point national economic agenda is the creation of 10 million jobs for the next six years. That means, from the day she made the pronouncement (that was during her last State-of-the-Nation-Address) to the end of her term in 2010, she must work doubly hard to attain this target.
I do not want to sound pessimistic, but if the administration does not restructure its prevailing investment policy and make it conducive to business, I don’t think she will be able to meet her target, unless some hocus-pocus is done.

[Title] => Montemayor cites alternative uses of tobacco
[Summary] => The Department of Agriculture (DA) has shown that the tobacco industry could generate billions of pesos more in revenues if only businessmen become aware of some untapped markets for the product.
Agriculture Secretary Leonardo Montemayor said that the over 12.9 million people dependent on the tobacco industry could increase their productivity by making other products out of tobacco.
Already a P21-billion industry, Montemayor said the tobacco business can be channeled to more "constructive" markets involving handicraft and even medicines.
