                    [Summary] => At least five brokers were found to have failed to meet the required capital requirements, based on the results of the joint thematic audit conducted by the Philippine Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Jose P. Aquino, head of the SEC’s Markets Regulation Department, refused to divulge the identities of the erring brokers but said the deficiency ranges from P5 million to P20 million.


Aquino said the ball is now in the hands of the PSE whether to take over the operations of the poorly-capitalized broker firms.

                    [Summary] => 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said yesterday the Philippine
Stock Exchange (PSE) should reconstitute the membership of its board of
directors to include more non-brokers by September if it is serious about
regaining its self-regulatory organization (SRO) status.

SEC Chairman Lilia Bautista said six months starting from her assumption of
office last March 25, should be enough time for the PSE to comply with the
SEC's order.

The inclusion of more non-brokers to the SEC board is the only remaining hurdle
for the PSE to regain its SRO status.

The stock market may be able to sustain the upward momentum it has gained over

analysts said although they are quick to point out that the sentiment of
investors continues to border on "cautious optimism" due to the raging BW

                    [Summary] => 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said yesterday the Philippine
Stock Exchange (PSE) should reconstitute the membership of its board of
directors to include more non-brokers by September if it is serious about
regaining its self-regulatory organization (SRO) status.

SEC Chairman Lilia Bautista said six months starting from her assumption of
office last March 25, should be enough time for the PSE to comply with the
SEC's order.

The inclusion of more non-brokers to the SEC board is the only remaining hurdle
for the PSE to regain its SRO status.

The stock market may be able to sustain the upward momentum it has gained over
the past week, picking on oversold blue chip issues and hot Internet stocks,
analysts said although they are quick to point out that the sentiment of
investors continues to border on "cautious optimism" due to the raging BW
scandal and interest rate jitters.

As the Securities and Exchange Commission takes on the task of implementing
management reforms at the Philippine Stock Exchange, the Senate will look into
possible changes in trading rules and regulations to rid the bourse of
transactions that could be used for fraudulent or anomalous deals.

In a memorandum, the Senate committee on banks, currencies and financial
institutions, which is investigating the stock scandal involving gaming firm BW
Resources, said it would review a number of trading schemes such as private
placements and lock-up of shares, share repurchase or buybacks,
