The Senate has been deliberating on the package since July 24.

Economic News
FDI net inflows of US$206.0mn in July. Foreign portfolio investments or ‘hot money’ posted a net inflow of $206 million in July, an improvement from the $72-million net inflow in June, as investors kept their exposure in the local stock market.
PH GDP grew 6.5% in 2Q17. This is slightly above consensus' 6.4% and within the government's 6.5-7.5% target. 1H17 GDP growth now stands at 6.4%. The services sector (+6.1%) grew slower YoY due to relatively relaxed growth in transport and communication. The industry sector, meanwhile, expanded by 7.3% on robust demand of fuel, metal, electronics, and furniture. Agricultural output rose as well by 6.3% on strong production.
Corporate News
SCC looks into entering the RES market. Through its RES arm SCRC, SCC is looking to penetrate the contestable consumer market with a total demand of 3,830MW. This may be in response to its increasing spot exposure, which now accounts for 43% of SLPGC's total volume sales from just 18% last year. Sourcing capacity contracts from the RES market is not a new strategy; EDC and AP have been targeting this space since late last year. SCC last 174.70.
