                    [Title] => Panasonic to resume mobile phone business in RP by 2008
                    [Summary] => Consumer electronics giant Matsushita Electric – known for its flagship Panasonic brand – will resume its mobile phone business in the Philippines by 2008 or earlier as it goes full blast in the production of 3G-capable handsets, top company officials said.


Panasonic Mobile, the wireless unit of the Japanese conglomerate, shut down its Philippine manufacturing plant in Sta. Rosa, Laguna last March 31, citing "severe global competition" in the erosion of its market share in mobile phone sales.
