cost of gasoline and diesel, the rate Meralco charges you for its electricity and,
consequently, the costs of doing business. And that same company has offered to pipe
broadband signals using power lines in your house, probably at a much faster rate and at a
much lower cost.

San Miguel Corp. (SMC) has vowed to create jobs, expand food production and bring down

bring down the prices of goods to consumers.

The joint venture, launched last year amid the global food crisis, expects to create 500,000
direct and indirect jobs for every million hectares. Thus, developing the 3.8 million hectares,
which are spread throughout the country, may generate more than two million jobs, more
than enough to absorb the workers being laid off by foreign and local employers because of
the global economic slowdown.
