 Sun.Star Manila - Malacañang confident credit downgrade will be reversed
He said the downgrade cannot be regarded as a big setback because the market did not react to it very much and that the stock market even increased, which is a sign of confidence on the Arroyo administration.
Santiago said she is hoping that the downgrade should prompt Congress to fast track the passage of crucial fiscal reforms, including the restructuring of the VAT system intended to raise P80 billion in additional revenues for the government.
Villar said while the downgrade was already expected, it would still create significant repercussions on the debt payments of the country, considering that it will likely raise interest rates.

The downgrade is the latest blow to the troubled telecoms group, which is facing increasing competition from other Web hosting companies in the U.S. and continental European.
Two weeks ago, David Nash, who had been scheduled to take over the chairmanship at the end of the year, said he was stepping aside after meetings with shareholders -- many of whom have criticised C&W's management and have called for a shake-up.

But the downgrade of the country's long-term foreign currency debt was by only one notch instead of the two notches that some investors had feared.
Asked if the downgrade was likely to effect the performance of Philippine dollar bonds, Condon said: "There could be a knee-jerk reaction to sell, but I suspect that many people share our view that the economic fundamentals are improving and will look to buy on dips.
He said the downgrade was a reaction to "a perceived no action on our part" to pass the much-needed tax revenues.

The reclassification of cannabis from class B to class C was backed by 316 votes to 160, a majority of 156, despite Conservative warnings that it would lead more young people into hard drugs.
The downgrading of cannabis is now scheduled to go ahead on January 29.
And fellow Tory Angela Watkinson warned that downgrading cannabis would lead to an increase in use of the drug and act as a "gateway" to harder drug use.

 Credit rating downgrade by Moody's seen likely   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Congress will have to pass one or two new tax measures, at the very least, to avoid another downgrade, Cora Guidote, executive director of the government's Investor Relations Office, said in her first briefing after a recent global roadshow.
Guidote noted that the Philippines was one of only four countries downgraded by Moody's this year and one of the eight that was given a negative outlook.
A recent private study shows that a downgrade could easily increase interest spreads on Philippine debt papers by about one percentage point, which would result in P20 billion in additional premium that the government would have to pay for debt papers it has issued overseas.

 MOODY'S  WARNS  RP  OF  2-NOTCH  DOWNGRADE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
By Des Ferriols - Moody’s Investors Service is mulling a two-notch downgrade for the Philippines in February unless the Arroyo administration is able to deliver three key measures including the across-the-board increase in value-added tax and excise taxes on cigarettes and alcohol.
Moody’s gave its stern warning of a ratings downgrade last month, expressing alarm over the deteriorating sustainability of the Arroyo administration’s fiscal and debt positions due to "political difficulties" in Congress.
If only some of these measures are passed, the downgrade would be one-notch while the outlook would depend on the quality of the measures that emerged from Congress.

 US Airways Downgrade Threatens Aircraft Deal
Standard & Poor's downgraded the airline's debt to CCC+ from B- and attached a negative outlook just days before US Airways confronts the biggest single challenge to its survival -- the arrival of Southwest Airlines at its Philadelphia hub.
"The downgrade was based on the difficult challenge faced by US Airways as it seeks to rapidly lower its operating expenses in response to mounting pressure from low-cost competitors," S & P analyst Philip Baggaley said in a statement.
Anticipation of the downgrade prompted US Airways to ask General Electric Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) to amend their agreement for financing a portion of the massive jet order that underpins the airline's restructuring strategy.

NEW YORK — Investors braced Wednesday for what could be one of the biggest corporate failures in U.S. history as Enron reeled from the downgrade of its debt and the evaporation of Dynegy's $9 billion rescue bid for the troubled energy firm.
Still, the chain of events triggered by the debt downgrade could mark the endgame in Enron's shockingly swift fall from grace.
Enron built its energy empire as it became one of the earliest and most aggressive advocates of power deregulation, which breaks down traditional monopolies, reduces government price regulation and allows consumers more choice in their power companies.
