[Title] => CREBA backs restoration of perks for cement production
[Summary] => The Chamber of Real Estate Builders Associations (CREBA) supports the move of the government to restore cement production as a preferred investment area under the 2006 Investment Priorities Plan (IPP).
The move is intended to increase domestic cement production to meet increasing demand which is reportedly not being met by the existing cement industry players.
The construction industry is projecting a cement supply shortage by 2010.
CREBA has been complaining about the rise in cement prices which is now between P150 and P170 per bag.

[Title] => ODA disbursements drop 2.3% to $1.095B in 2004
[Summary] => Official development assistance (ODA) disbursements to the Philippines dropped 2.2 percent from $1.408 billion in 2003 to $1.095 billion last year, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said.
At the same time, NEDA noted that cumulative ODA commitments have gradually shrunk from $13.2 billion in 2001 to $10.7 billion last year.
Roland G. Tungpalan, NEDA assistant to director general, explained that the contraction of ODA loan commitments and actual disbursements were not due to lack of confidence from bilateral or multilateral funding sources.
