                    [Summary] => Government is willing to accept as much as 20 percent less than the P4.2- billion indicative bid price for its interest in Philippine Phosphate Fertilizers, Inc. (Philphos) when the company is privatized this month.


During the pre-bidding conference held early this week, prospective bidders expressed concern that the P4.2- billion indicative price might prove to be unattractive considering the worldwide slump in the fertilizer industry and the general condition of the Philippine economy.
