[Title] => RP remains hopeful on special garments deal with US
[Summary] => The local garments sector has not given up hope on securing a preferential agreement with the US that would allow special access for Philippine-made garments and textiles to the US market even though US officials have already indicated that such an agreement is not forthcoming.
Trade and Industry Secretary Peter Favila over the weekend disclosed that the Philippine garments sector, in fact, has launched another mission to continue to lobby for a preferential garments deal with the US.
According to Favila, the private sector led mission "has nothing to lose."

[Title] => US rejects RP bid for preferential pact on garments
[Summary] => The Philippine garments sector’s hopes of a preferential agreement with the United States that would allow special access for Philippine-made garments and textiles to the US market has been dashed with the confirmation by a top US trade official that such a deal is not about to materialize.
A sectoral agreement on garments between the United States and the Philippines is not likely, according to Assistant US Trade Representative Barbara Weisel.

[Title] => US urges RP to forge free trade pact with Washington
[Summary] => US Assistant Trade Representative Barbara Weisel urged the Philippines yesterday to sign a bilateral free trade agreement (FTA) with Washington to boost its under-performing economy and keep it globally competitive.
Weisel said a newly completed study by the Hawaii-based East-West Center think tank found that for the Philippines, "there would be a benefit of a 3.1 percent increase in nominal GDP (gross domestic product)" if such a pact were signed with its largest trading partner.
She said the Philippine government is also conducting a parallel study.
