[Title] => Accord reached on plan to cut tariff on auto parts
[Summary] => Vehicle batteries may not be included in a planned six-month temporary reduction of tariffs on certain spare parts needed by jeepneys and buses.
Local motor vehicle spare parts manufacturers have raised objections to a proposal to reduce tariffs on motor vehicle spare parts as part of government support to local jeepney and bus operators to prevent them from raising their fares due to higher oil prices.

[Title] => Cracker dream going, going…
[Summary] => With the recent reduction of tariff on imported resins from 15 percent to 10 percent, the dream of having in the Philippines an integrated petrochemical industry —— starting with the production of polymers down to plastic products —— is fast fading.
Recently, to pursue the dream to build a naphtha cracker (needed to produce polymers), resin makers from the Association of Petrochemical Manufacturers of the Philippines had asked the government not just to keep tariffs at 15 percent but raise them to 20 percent if not to double to 30 percent up to 2010.
