[Title] => Teeners find ringtone in high-pitched repellent
[Summary] => When it came out in Britain in December, the Mosquito sound system was supposed to be the sonic equivalent of a "no loitering" sign. Its annoying, high-pitched sound – which many adults can’t hear but most young people can – would act as a teen repellent.
Now, teens are staging a worldwide rebellion: Downloading the sound, or another ringtone in that same high-frequency range, allows them to hear their cellphones ring when their parents and teachers (mostly) cannot.

[Title] => Bank officers roll up sleeves at eco weekend
[Summary] => 
At the outbreak of World War II in 1942, the first foreign bank in the Philippines, then called The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, was already 70 years in operation in the country. It occupied the second floor of the Wilson Building in Binondo. Unfortunately for The Chartered Bank, the building was claimed by the Japanese imperial army as their treasury headquarters. But because of foresight, the bank officials then were able to evacuate a number of their gold bars to the island of Corregidor.

[Title] => Foreign banks threaten to sue BIR on FCDU tax issue
[Summary] => Foreign banks operating in the country are threatening court action against the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) on the issue of imposing taxes on foreign currency deposit unit (FCDU) transactions.
"It is a multi-billion dollar issue which will have severe ramifications for foreign banks if not resolved on a common manner," said Simon Morris, chief executive officer of Standard Chartered Bank of the Philippines (SCBP).
The BIR said it plans to slap gross receipt tax (GRT) and value-added tax (VAT) on FCDU transactions, estimated to amount to over $25 billion.

[Title] => StanChart junks plan to acquire smaller bank
[Summary] => Standard Chartered Bank of the Philippines (SCBP) has junked plans of acquiring a commercial bank or establishing a thrift bank, a top bank official said yesterday.
"There are no plans of acquiring another bank," SCBP chief executive officer Simon Morris said.
Based on medium term target, the bank wants to grow organically, or without acquiring another financial institution, rather than take a huge risk to expand its assets, he said.
