                    [Summary] => The National Government (NG) will issue some P5-billion worth of five-year zero coupon bonds to help bankroll its budget deficit for the remainder of the year.

Standard and Poor’s (S&P) Ratings Services said it has assigned a "BB" debt rating to the country’s recently reopened euro-denominated 9.125-percent bond due in 2010.

The facility was launched in February last year, generating proceeds of 300 million euro for the government.
