[Title] => Government to sell 45% stake in PNB before September
[Summary] => The government has decided to sell its 45 percent interest in Philippine National Bank (PNB), one of the country’s biggest banks, before September this year, according to Finance Secretary Cesar V. Purisima.
He said the government is set to hire a financial adviser to help evaluate its options as well as peg the floor price for its shares in PNB.
Purisima said no ballpark value for government’s holdings in PNB has been set yet but the combined holdings of the Lucio Tan Group and the government has been estimated to be worth at least $400 million.

[Title] => Patchwork measures so far for crisis
[Summary] => The peso’s continued decline is not because Ate Glo admitted we are in crisis but more because she has failed thus far to offer more than patchwork measures to deal with the crisis. That’s the same thing with the international roadshow her economic managers plan to undertake soon to explain the country’s circumstances. It will be a waste of time and money unless we can offer a program that is more than a collection of small symbolic stuff.

[Title] => GMA pinayuhang magbakasyon naman
[Summary] => Pinayuhan ni Sen. Joker Arroyo si Pangulong Arroyo na magbakasyon muna dahil sa mahigit tatlong taon na itong nagtatrabaho ng walang pahinga.
"The President should take a good and restful vacation, she sounds tired. That is why she has become onion-skinned," ayon kay Sen. Arroyo.
Pinuna din ng senador ang mga miyembro ng Gabinete na nagsusumiksik sa saya ng Pangulo kung napupuna ang kapalpakan ng mga ito sa kanilang mga trabaho.

[Title] => ‘Senate may reject new taxes’
[Summary] => The Senate is likely to reject new tax proposals that finance, budget and economic managers of the Arroyo administration plan to submit to Congress to raise additional funds to reduce the huge budget deficit this year.
"I think new taxes are indefensible," Sen. Ralph Recto, ways and means committee chairman, said yesterday. His panel wields the power of life and death over tax measures.
"At a time when the costs of basic services are rising, we will have difficulty selling tax proposals to the public," he said.

[Title] => Foreign firm warns vs impact of poll spending on budget
[Summary] => A foreign consultancy firm has warned that the Philippines may again lose grip of its fiscal stance as the huge election spending could impact on the national budget.
