Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>The new third Philippine telco Ditto Telecom (DITO PM) is added to our list of fallen angels, down more than 60% from its March high. At just 10% of the market cap of incumbents there clearly some upside to getting this right.</li>
<li>Staying in the Phils, for a sending week running we’ve caught the start of a major buyback with Metro Pacific (MPI PM) commencing the second tranche of a program to repurchase 5% of outstanding shares</li>
<li>We noticed increased activity across the entire MNC Group of companies (MNC Investama - BHIT IJ) and discovered there's quite a bit of action there to cover.</li>
