                    [Summary] => 



The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) is opposing a recent decision by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), disqualifying a stock broker from sitting as an independent director of a listed corporation.


"Totally banning stock brokers as independent directors seems to be unfair," said PSE president Francis Lim.

"As long as brokers are not disqualified under the provision on independent directors under the Corporate Governance Code then they should be allowed to sit as independent directors," he added.
