Philippines to buy 5 coast guard ships from Japan
(UPDATE) THE Philippines has agreed to buy five coast guard patrol ships from Japan in a deal worth more than $400 million, Manila said Friday, as the Southeast Asian country faces growing Chinese pressure in the South China Sea. Japan will loan the Philippines 64.38 billion yen ($413 million) to buy the five 97-meter Multi-Role Response Vessels and pay for the "development of the required support facilities," the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said in a statement. "This will support the PCG in improving its capabilities for maritime operations, particularly in addressing transnational

Bangko Sentral looking to lower reserve ratios

The reserve requirement for big banks currently stands at 9.5 percent following a 250-basis-point (bps) cut last June. Remolona, however, said that this was still one of the highest in the region and should be slashed to 5.0 percent. Lowering reserve requirement

Mothers find strength in SM Foundation medical mission
MOTHERS play endless roles in the family. They are the glue that holds it all together, juggling multiple responsibilities with a nurturing spirit. Mothers attend to everyone's needs while putting their own on the back burner far too often. Yet, in their selfless dedication to taking care of others, they cannot afford to let their own health and well-being take a backseat on their endless to-do lists. With busy schedules and multiple roles to fill, they must also be intentional about their health. This is what a mother's life looks like for Loida Macaling and Regina Abalain,
