Today will be the last weekly Monetary Board meeting attended by MB member Fe Barin. Ms. Barin has been clearing her desk at the Bangko Sentral and should be ready to report for work as the new chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission starting Sept. 1.


So far, there is no word on whom the Palace will appoint to replace Ms. Barin as one of five MB representatives from the private sector. Government is represented in the MB by Bangko Sentral Governor Rafael Buenaventura, who sits as chairman, and by a Cabinet member.

Bank notes 1: Bangko Sentral Governor Rafael Buenaventura knows exactly how much of his six-year term he’s got left. Go ahead, ask him.

As everybody knows, Lito Camacho and Tony Bernardo have known each other since their high school days at Don Bosco.


It is also not a secret that Mr. Bernardo intends to run for political office, either as mayor or congressman, in Mandaluyong next year.
