[Title] => NG needs to focus on basic issues to draw investors
[Summary] => Industrialist Raul T. Concepcion said yesterday the National Government (NG) still needs to address the "fundamental issues" before it can really attract the "long-term and significant foreign investments."
"The shift of some investments to the country as an offshoot of the still uncontrolled Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in China is just petty cash and is not the major, long-term capital that the Philippines wants," Concepcion said.
Investments of around $100 million are just "petty cash," he said.

[Title] => Prices of basic goods seen to remain stable
[Summary] => Industrialist Raul T. Concepcion said yesterday that prices of basic commodities should remain stable in June and July following the government’s decision to reduce the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) charges.
"Stable prices would allow more money for the payment of tuition fees and other household expenses," Concepcion said.
For the industrial sector, Concepcion said the lowering of the PPA charges will help bring down the cost of raw materials, resulting in stable prices and making Philippine exports more competitive globally.
