MANILA (Reuters): Flag carrier Philippine Airlines, media giant ABS-CBN, and the government's Bureau of the Treasury and Bureau of Customs are not yet ready for the millennium bug, a government report said on Thursday.

The Philippine Presidential Commission on Year 2000 Compliance published the report in two major dailies identifying a list of companies and government departments which had still not completed millennium bug preparations.

The report showed ABS-CBN and telephone companies Bayan Telecommunications and Digital Telecommunications expected to be ready for the bug by October 31. Another telecoms firm, Isla Communications, said it would finish preparations by November 30.

Philippine Airlines is targeting a readiness date of November 30, while domestic carrier Air Philippines expects to be compliant by October 31.
