All rights reserved. & Co. ©2006 SGV MALACAÑAN PALACE MANILA Despite enormous challenges in 2004, the Philippine economy had posted a year-on-year growth of 6.2% exceeding our target of 5.8%. We began 2005 with greater promise, with our sovereign currency and stock market soaring to record highs. The drop in nonperforming loans in the private sector from 19% to 13% as a result of the Special Purpose Vehicle Act of 2002 has helped in mitigating the fiscal deficit. Meanwhile, we continue to improve our fiscal situation and enhance our revenue performance with the encouraging support and vital participa- tion of Congress. The rebirth of the Philippine mining industry continues to attract foreign investors. As we anticipate more activities in this sector, proper steps are being taken to ensure sustainable development as we explore the mining prospects in such locations as Benguet, Albay, Palawan, Surigao, Zomboanga del Norte, and Davao. Apart from these developments, the Philippine accounting industry targets its full transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in 2005. This will bring about greater transparency and compa- rability in financial reporting and push forward the adoption of uniform financial reporting standards not only across the region, but throughout the world. All these developments and more are featured in this latest edition of Doing Business in the Philippines, published by SGV & Co. This pub- lication is a credible and up-to-date source of information on our fiscal reform agenda and accelerated growth. With the turnaround of our econ- omy, coupled with our fiscal reforms and revitalized revenue program, we believe we have set up the environment for more jobs and better lives for our people. We invite the international community to move forward with us as we strengthen our presence in the Asian and global market. MABUHAY! GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO MANILA ©2006 SGV & Co.

  • Mga Kilalang 5 Star Hotel Sa Pilipinas
    Mga kilalang 5 star hotel sa Pilipinas Discovery Shores Boracay Island Boracay Island , Philippines The palm-studded island of Boracay – with its white, talcum-fine beach, balmy weather, and warm, crystalline waters – is like a hypnotic magnet. In this tiny, butterfly-shaped island at the northwestern tip of Panay in Western Visayas, days can be spent simply lazing on the beach while nights are for indulging in the tropical party lifestyle. The best part of the island is the four-kilometer White Beach hailed as the “finest beach in the world.” The surrounding water is shallow and the sand is finer and brighter than most beaches in the archipelago. White Beach is so, soooo fine, it feels like treading on miles of baby powder! These days, one of the greatest luxuries in life is a “staycation” – to simply have the time for yourself to relax, read that book, catch-up on your stack of magazines, sit and chat about everything and nothing, take a dip in the pool and let the hours pass, and to really stop and smell the roses, or the ocean breeze, or perhaps admire a sunrise or a sunset with your beloved! Eighty eight luxurious and spacious accommodation that include Junior Suites, One Bedroom Suites, One Bedroom Suite Premiere, Two Bedroom Suites and Two Bedroom Suite Premiere, with an area of 40 square meter to 120 square meter. The balcony /terrace has an area of six to 12 square meter. Some rooms have a Jacuzzi; all rooms are generous in size and most have a view of the beach or of the waterfalls and swimming pool; rooms on the hill (upper cluster) have enviable views of the beach and the property.

Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region.
