[Title] => Government works to speed up release of $175-M ADB loan
[Summary] => The Asian Developmen Bank (ADB) will not release the second and third tranches of a $175-million loan for the development of the country’s grains sector unless the Philippine government fulfills two critical conditions — a reduction in the National Food Authority’s palay support price and the liberalization of the country’s rice market.

[Title] => ADB urges government to allow banks to form AMC
[Summary] => The Asian Development Bank (ADB) wants the national government to stay clear of the banking sector’s attempt to form an asset management committee (AMCs) to rid the system of bad debts.
In an interview, ADB director of the Philippine office Dr. Gunther Hecker said government involvement calling it a "morale hazard."
"It is a problem of morale hazard if the government is allowed to enter into the picture. It would be a more welcome development for the private sector to be on top of this situation," Hecker pointed out.

[Title] => Rural banks under stress, says ADB exec
[Summary] => Despite being able to keep its head above water, the rural banking sector continues to feel the pressure of the financial crisis, according to one of the biggest and influential global financial institution.
"We must accept that the rural banking system remains under stress," Dr. Gunter Hecker, Asian Development Bank (ADB) Philippine country director said.
The high level of non-performing assets (NPA) of the rural banking sector strongly reflects the system’s weaknesses.
