[Title] => The fall of the industrial giant
[Summary] => ILIGAN CITY — While everyone sought their fortunes in the big cities, the Francisco family had taken the reverse route and left Metro Manila to venture deep south where life was then easier and where your money went a long way. And why not? Iligan City was then the ‘Industrial city of the South" and Cesar P. Francisco had nothing to lose being a mere line helper in the tin canning facility of the National Steel Corp. in Pasig, Metro Manila.
Little did Cesar know that he would one day be a pawn in the shifting fortunes of global trade realities.

[Title] => RCC acquisitions must go through regulatory process
[Summary] => The acquisition by Republic Cement Corp. (RCC) of two other cement companies, FR Cement and Lloyd’s Richfield Industrial Corp., from Southeast Asia Cement Holdings Inc. still has to hurdle a regulatory process that could derail plans to waive the pre-emptive or stock rights offering to the RCC stockholders.
The Philippine Stock Exchange said since the complete terms and conditions of the transaction have not been disclosed by RCC, it (PSE) "cannot make a definitive determination of the applicability of the Rule on Additional Listing of Shares."

[Title] => Iligan folk fear closure of city’s 2 cement p
[Summary] => Still reeling from the closure of National Steel Corp. (NSC) two years ago, residents of Iligan City are now apprehensive that their cement industry will die a slow death, too, if the dumping of cheap cement imports into the country continues.
In a hearing of the House committee on trade and industry, Iligan City Mayor Franklin Quijano expressed fears that the two remaining cement plants in the city might be forced to close down like NSC, in the light of the current problems that local cement manufacturers are facing.

[Title] => Republic Cement vows to keep prices steady
[Summary] => Despite incurring huge losses due to the unabated flooding of dumped imports, Republic Cement Co. pledged yesterday not to increase its average cement prices should the government impose a temporary 200 day safety net for the industry against imports.
Republic Cement is the holding company of Fortune Cement Corp., Iligan Cement Corp. and Mindanao Portland Cement Corp. It also maintains its own facilities in Bulacan. Republic’s pledge follows that of another major cement producer, Union Cement, which also committed to stable prices while the safeguard measure is in place.

[Title] => Cement dumping leads to huge losses for RP
[Summary] =>
The deluge of dumped cement imports from Taiwan and Japan has cost both the
private sector and the government P10 billion in losses over the past two
years, and industry experts warned yesterday that annual losses would double
annually unless officials force importers to acknowledge the legitimate price
of the threatening products.
This was admitted yesterday by Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) sources
who underscored how dumped cement, or products sold at prices much lower than
their normal value, have delayed the recovery of the cement industry.
