[Summary] => The Ramcar Group, a manufacturer of a local line of batteries including Motolite and Oriental, is now out of receivership following the successful implementation of a court-approved rehabilitation program which resulted in the reduction of its debt to less than P500 million from a high of P7.6 billion in 2001.

[Title] => Ramcar’s alive and well, thank you!
[Summary] => Some weeks ago, I got a call from an old friend, Manolo Agustines about something I wrote which disappointed him. I implied that Enron and Ramcar were pretty much the same. It just isn't so, he said. For one thing, Ramcar is not a public corporation like Enron. He does not have public stockholders to worry about. Also, he did not cause retirement funds of any of his employees to go up in smoke. They also did not keep anything from their banks, nor did they mislead them.

[Title] => How can banks make money today?
[Summary] => As we ponder our fate in the wake of a serious economic downturn, we thought that we ought to learn some lessons from Japan. The Japanese banking system is rotten to the core and is one of the main reasons why Japan is suffering a decade long economic depression. The financial statements of the Japanese banks are in the realm of fiction. Loans that have long gone sour are still carried as if they were current. In fact, Japanese banks continue to support clients they should have cut off a long time ago.
