In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, SGI said wholly-owned subsidiary Solid Distributors Inc. and Sony Philippines have agreed that the latter will now absorb the Aiwa brand, including product development and marketing support.

Nelia Tarangco, information officer of the Kapisanan ng Manggagawa ng Kita Corp. (KMKC), said yesterday that workers of Kita Corp., which was listed in 1998 as CSEZ’s top dollar-earning exporter, have been picketing the firm since it issued termination papers to all of its about 400 workers to pave the way for its closure.
