[Title] => Local shares close 2.24 percent higher due to stronger economic gains
[Summary] => MANILA (AFP) - Philippine share prices closed 2.24 percent higher Thursday on broad-based buying as investors cheered stronger than expected economic growth figures, dealers said.
Overnight gains on Wall Street also provided buying impetus and negated fears by a sharp drop in the Chinese market that has caused fears of another sell-off in global equities, they said.
The composite index added 76.12 points to 3,474.67, the day's high, off a low of 3,398.55

The government yesterday rejected as "outdated" a regional survey that placed the country near the bottom in terms of economic risk for investors in Asia.
Hong Kong-based Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC), in its latest survey of expatriate business executives released on Tuesday, rated Singapore as Asia’s least risky economy and Indonesia the worst of 14 countries surveyed.
The Philippines occupied 12th place, ahead only of India and Indonesia.

[Title] => ‘RP needs higher growth track to reduce poverty’
[Summary] => The Philippines needs to invest more on infrastructure to raise economic growth to a higher level and make headway in reducing widespread poverty, Economic Planning Secretary Romulo Neri said yesterday.
After tax reforms put the government’s fiscal situation in order, "the next step now is to bring in more investments," he said.
The government needs funds to build highways, farm-to-market roads, water supply networks, irrigation facilities, classrooms, and health centers, he said.

[Title] => Shooting from the hip
[Summary] =>
Not just a few people continue to wonder about the wisdom proffered by Economic Planning Secretary Romulo Neri.
A few years ago, he peddled his fantastic economic rebound projection and labeled it 747. The projection — seven-percent economic growth for seven years — looked so good on paper that some legislators and even the executive rode on Neri’s propaganda after presuming he did his homework.
