                    [Summary] => SINGAPORE (AFP) — How do you convince investors to a country known more for coup attempts, disasters and corruption than business opportunities, fine beaches, a well-educated work force and friendly people? 


Former President Fidel Ramos, the country’s self-appointed traveling salesman, has some answers.

                    [Summary] => President Arroyo expressed concern yesterday about "ghost" war veterans who have defrauded retired soldiers and their families of millions of pesos in benefits.


Speaking before the General Assembly of the Military Veterans Foundation of the Philippines at the Folk Arts Theater in Manila, Mrs. Arroyo said mismanagement at the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO) and the padding of the list of war veterans are the primary cause of the anomaly.

At the Dambana ng Kagitingan on Mt. Samat last Monday, President Arroyo prodded Congress to pass a P10.5-billion supplemental budget this year for veterans’ regular benefits as well as an increase of P500 a month in their pension. The President’s target: an increase of P500 a year until the pension reaches P5,000 a month.
