[Title] => GMA cracks whip on revenue agencies
[Summary] => President Arroyo is cracking the whip on the government’s revenue agencies with low collections in the first two months of the year.
Mrs. Arroyo noted the low collections of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and the Bureau of Customs (BOC) as compared to the same period last year.
Although she admitted the low collections might have been due to the temporary downside of the strong peso, the President said this factor is no excuse for low revenue collections for this year.

[Title] => Bank lending to grow 10-15% this year — Neri
[Summary] =>
Monetary authorities expect bank lending to grow between 10- to-15 percent this year after contracting in the past few years, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Romulo Neri said.

[Summary] =>
The domestic economy failed to live up to expectations in the third quarter, with gross domestic product (GDP) showing a 4.8-percent growth, less than the 5.2 percent to 5.8 percent projected by the government.
Economic officials said an industrial slowdown dragged economic growth to a lower-than-expected rate in the three months to September, threatening the government’s full-year target.
