"We have expressed our desire to China and India that if the early harvest program is not positive for the Philippines, then we will not avail of it, but this does not necessarily mean the scuttling of the entire arrangement for the rest of  the ASEAN neighbors," trade and Industry Secretary Manuel Roxas II said yesterday.
