[Title] => Legislated wage hike to boost ranks of informal sector — PCCI
[Summary] =>
The informal sector, or those who have low-paying or unstable jobs, will further swell with the passage of the planned P125 legislated across-the-board wage hike, a top business leader said.
"The informal sector will grow bigger," Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) president Sergio Ortiz Luis Jr. said in an interview.
He pointed out that the increase in salaries will force industries to cut costs by downsizing or worse, close the business altogether. This, he said, will in turn translate to more people losing their jobs.

[Title] => Alternative fuels cut down RP oil import bill
[Summary] =>
The country’s dependence on foreign sourced oil has been on the decline as evidenced by the 37 percent drop in imported mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials this year, an economic planning official said.
In an interview, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) director Dennis M. Arroyo said the drop in oil imports can be attributed to the increasing use of natural gas coming from the Malampaya field in Palawan.
