[Summary] => The export sector must now take the lead in helping solve the pestering problem of joblessness and widespread poverty in the Philippines.

[Title] => Exporters eye double-digit growth
[Summary] => Export industry leaders aimed at a fighting growth target of between five and nine percent last year when the government forecast was a modest four percent.
When all the numbers came in, exports shot up by nine percent for the whole of 2002 on sales of $35 billion, only a billion short of the record high of $36 billion in sales the other year. The exporters aimed high and hit the bulls-eye.
Encouraged by the rapid rebound in the last three quarters of the previous year, industry leaders have set their sights to a higher growth rate between six and 11 percent this year.
