MANILA - A business group called on the government to pass a House-approved bill seeking to spend P1.

3 trillion to stimulate the economy, saying corporate tax reforms and new banking measures may not be enough.

MAP president Francis Lim, however, said in a statement on Tuesday his group was surprised that Duterte did not endorse the Accelerated Recovery and Investments Stimulus for the Economy of the Philippines, or ARISE bill.
