[Title] => SC: Petrochem plants not only for Bataan
[Summary] =>
The Supreme Court has dismissed the petition of Bataan Gov. Enrique Garcia to declare his province as the exclusive site for petrochemical plants in the country.
In a 19-page decision, the SC, through Associate Justice Conchita Carpio Morales of the Court’s Second Division, denied the petition and affirmed the ruling of the Court of Appeals 10 years ago which had dismissed Garcia’s petition suit against the establishment of a petrochemical plant by J.G. Summit Petrochemical Corp. in Barangay Simlong, Batangas City.

[Title] => S’pore seeks $6M for delay in lifting of petrochem tariff
[Summary] => The Philippines still owes Singapore close to $6 million in compensation for delaying the lifting of tariff on petrochemical products under the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) scheme.
The Philippines, however, is hoping to show enough documentation to the Singapore government that out of the total $8 million due to Singapore, about 70 percent can be offset by duty-free importation of certain petrochemical products imported by some companies located in special economic zones.

[Title] => RP to compensate Singapore for high tariffs on 11 petrochem products
[Summary] => The Philippines will have to compensate Singapore roughly $7 million for the three-year period it maintained a tariff wall on 11 petrochemical products, even if the Executive Order on the lowering of the rates on the specified petrochemical products is signed before the end of this year.
Even then, however, it will still take about four and half years, or up to 2011, for the Philippines to complete the $7-million compensation to Singapore, according to Ramon Vicente Kabigting, director of the Bureau of International Trade Relations (BITR).

[Title] => Singapore presses RP on supplemental deal for tariff compensation
[Summary] => Singapore is pressing the Philippines to sign a supplemental agreement extending the compensation agreement over the continued tariff protection being invoked by the latter for 11 petrochemical products, a trade official said.
