[Title] => PSE mulls creation of integrity board
[Summary] => The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) could set up an integrity board that would ensure the objectivity of audits conducted by its trading watchdog, the Compliance and Surveillance Group (CSG).

[Title] => What if the market didn't open?
[Summary] =>

has been moving in a downward channel during the past two weeks. "Barring any

Securities Brokers Corp.
"The damage has been done.

price manipulation, in violation of PSE and Securities and Exchange Commission
rules.
