                    [Summary] => The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) is reconstituting its 30-company main index to accurately track the real movement of the stock market.


PSE president Francis Lim said a new set of companies that have passed the liquidity requirement of the exchange will be included in the main composite index or Phisix effective Dec. 1. Among these corporations include retail tycoon Henry Sy’s Banco De Oro Universal Bank and SM Investments Corp., the Ayala-run water utility firm Manila Water Corp., mobile phone operator Pilipino Telephone Corp. and Philex Mining Corp.

                    [Summary] => Ionics Circuits Inc., the country’s largest electronics and semi-conductor manufacturer, may be forced to abandon its manufacturing activities in the Philippines and relocate to China.


This was disclosed over the weekend by Lawrence Qua, chairman and chief executive officer of the Ionics Group of Companies.


According to Qua, the pressure to transfer Ionics’ manufacturing activities to China has been building up over the past seven years due to the relatively lower cost of doing business there and the bigger domestic market that China would provide.

                    [Summary] => 

Local stocks resumed their downtrend after a brief recovery last Wednesday, as
investors quickly cashed in on the previous day's gains following an aggressive
hike in key overnight rates by the Bangko Sentral to counter pressures on the
weakening peso.

The BSP raised its overnight borrowing and lending rates by half a percentage
point each to 9.5 percent and 11.75 percent, respectively, in parallel with the
50-basis point hike in the benchmark US interest rates announced by the Federal
Reserve Board last May 16.

The composite index slid 12.69 points or 0.83 percent to 1,521.
