[Title] => Gov’t data hides ‘deterioration in quality of workforce’
[Summary] => Employment data released by the government recently showed an impressive 750,000 jobs created last year but on closer inspection the numbers hide a serious deterioration in the quality of the country’s workforce, analysts said.
"What the numbers clearly show is that employment in the formal sector is shrinking and employment in the informal sector of the labor market is growing," Rene Ofreneo director of the school of labor and industrial relations at the University of the Philippines told AFP.

[Title] => Slower energy consumption defers need for additional capacity in Luzon to 2010
[Summary] => The Luzon grid will be needing additional power capacity in 2010, instead of the earlier expected 2007, due to a slower than anticipated demand, a power industry official said.
First Generation Holdings Corp. (FirstGen) president Federico Lopez, in a presentation before members of the Philippine Business Leaders Forum (PBLF), said there was a noted decline in electricity consumption since November 2004, dampening total power demand.

[Title] => Cap on chargeable VAT may pose great risk for businesses — PBLF
[Summary] => The Philippine Business Leaders Forum (PBLF) has said that the imposed 70-percent cap for creditable value added tax (VAT) from the total computed input may pose great risk for businesses, particularly those with very low profit margins.
In a position paper, PBLF, an associate of Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), said the 70-percent cap on chargeable VAT "distorts the system from a pure tax on consumption," and is seen as another disincentive to doing or expanding business in the country.
