[Title] => GSIS’s $1-billion fund ploy
[Summary] => Last week’s announcement of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) that it had sold most of its stake in the food conglomerate San Miguel Corp. took the market by surprise. As to be expected, imaginations started running wild.
GSIS’s declaration that it had unloaded a 6.4-percent-stake in the country’s biggest food and beverage company worth P14.25 billion, and that it had also sold other stocks in the last couple of weeks to raise a total of P25 billion was indeed worthy of triggering quite a few speculations.

"I completely agree with you with regards to the price of medicine. I would like to bring something even more mundane to your attention that is related to this subject: vitamins.

[Title] => More views on Meralco & First Gen
[Summary] => Readers’ comments for today focus on two entities widely perceived as Lopez family interests, First Gen and Meralco. One of our readers offers a view on why First Gen’s IPO (initial public offering) last February paled in comparison to Universal Robina Corp. (URC). Chris Murphy has this to say:
"I read with interest your BizLinks column (Is First Gen a good buy? – 17 February 2006) and would like to offer my observations for what they are worth.
"FirstGen will be constrained, I believe by the following:

[Title] => Real estate boom’s downside
[Summary] => First, the good news.
There has been so much activity in the real estate sector during the last couple of years, mostly fueled by investments of overseas Filipino workers in mid-end development and the influx of call centers now filling up previously vacant and idle spaces in major business districts.
Excess office space inventory is now lower, a happy change from the huge glut in capacity that developers faced right after the 1997 Asian crisis.

[Title] => Where will the money go?
[Summary] => We cannot blame the government for feeling smug following a slew of positive developments such as the peso’s continued recovery and Standard & Poor’s upgrade of the Philippines’ credit rating outlook to stable from negative.
The peso is now hitting its highest level in three years, the stock market’s bullish run continues, while interest rates remain modest. These are indeed worth cheering about, at least on the part of administration officials.

[Title] => Entertainment’s quick shots
[Summary] => The unfortunate disaster last weekend of the first anniversary celebration of ABS-CBN’s noontime show Wowowee painted a grim picture of two things.
One is the abject poverty gripping this entire nation of 85 million as demonstrated by the throngs of people who braved the long commute from the province, some with not even enough money to return home, hunger pangs and thirst, even rain and scorching heat.

[Title] => Harnessing the OFW power
[Summary] => The economic power of our overseas Filipino workers should not just be confined to remittances. One of this column’s readers, Mike Bolos, shares why.
"I read with interest your column (When will the bleeding stop, 13 January 2006) and couldn’t help thinking that if only the government has used such subsidies more effectively, then our country and economy would have been a lot better of.

[Title] => GSIS, the better ctpl alternative
[Summary] => The beleaguered multi-billion peso compulsory third party liability (CTPL) insurance business has just taken a new twist.
The Insurance Commission (IC), which is supposed to police this notorious part of the insurance industry, appears to be creating an even bigger problem by letting the non-life insurance sector decide on what must be done with the very problem it had created.
