[Title] => Who will replace Camacho?
[Summary] => The initial reaction of the market to the resignation of Finance Secretary Jose Isidro Camacho will have spill-over effects this week as the market speculates who will replace Camacho.
The market is expected to eventually lump Camacho’s resignation together with the rest of political noise building up towards the elections.
Over the weekend, various names have also emerged as possible candidates for Camacho’s position although Camacho himself has already made a recommendation that the President has not acted upon yet.

[Title] => Finance sec.Camacho nag-resign
[Summary] => Nagharap na ng kanyang irrevocable resignation si Finance Secretary Jose Isidro Camacho at ang kanyang pagbibitiw sa puwesto ay tinanggap naman ni Pangulong Arroyo.
Ayon kay Presidential Chief of Staff Rigoberto Tiglao, hindi nasorpresa ang Palasyo sa pagbibitiw sa puwesto ni Camacho dahil noon pa mang Hulyo naghayag na ito ng intensiyong umalis sa posisyon para bumalik sa pribadong sektor.
Napigil lang anya ang pagtanggap sa pagbibitiw nito bunga na rin ng nangyaring Oakwood mutiny noong Hulyo 27.
