Cayetano woos Duterte: We need a real leader

DAVAO, Sept 30 (Mabuhay) -- Senator Alan Peter Cayetano on Wednesday said he is backing calls for Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte to run for president in 2016, saying the country needs a real leader. The Nacionalista Party senator said he and his sister, Senator Pia Cayetano, dined with Duterte for three hours on Tuesday night to discuss various issues including peace and order and developing the south. He said that based on their talks, he feels that Duterte is feeling the burden that the next generation needs a real leader. “Lahat po ng problema na natanong namin sa kanya, ang ganda po ng solusyon at kung hindi kayang ayusin, inaamin niya. So, tingin ko po, papunta doon sa pagtakbo,â€?

Cayetano announced Tuesday his plan to run for vice-president in the 2016 election. He said he and his entire family are adding their voices to the clamor for Duterte to run for president in 2016. He noted that he and Duterte share the same core values, being both a supporter of federalism and ‘’real change.â€? Duterte, who ranked fourth in the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) and Pulse Asia surveys, behind Senator Grace Poe, former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, and Vice President Jejomar Binay, remains undecided whether he will run or not for president.

Belmonte: Leni already gave ‘informal’ consent to be Mar’s VP

MANILA, Sept 30 (Mabuhay) – Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo has already given her informal consent to be the running mate of administration presidential bet Mar Roxas in the 2016 elections, House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. said Wednesday. “I think she has more or less given her consent informally and I don’t think na binibitin niya or anything like that,� Belmonte said in a press conference after the national convention of Liberal Party in Quezon City. He said it is just a matter of making Robredo’s family comfortable with her decision. Robredo is the widow of the late Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo. “We want all of her family to feel very at ease with the decision and to be fully supportive of

the decision and they are grown-ups na naman,â€? he said. Asked why Robredo was not present during the LP convention, Belmonte just said, “Basta I’m very FRQÂżGHQW WKDW VKH ZLOO EH LQ ´ Asked on her absence, Caloocan City Rep. Edgar Erice, LP vice chairman for political affairs, said he thinks Robredo is still discerning. “Baka Monday na siguro, baka hinihintay. Baka nasa discernment process pa siguro,â€? he told reporters. Former Quezon Rep. Erin TaĂąada said they are giving Robredo some space to think. Earlier in the day, the LP formally selected Roxas as the ruling party’s standard bearer in next year’s presidential polls. (MNS)

NP to support all three VP bets: Cynthia Villar MANILA, Sept 29 (Mabuhay) – The Nacionalista Party will support all three vice presidential candidates in its ranks if they all push through with their plans in the 2016 elections, Senator Cynthia Villar told reporters on Tuesday. Villar is the wife of NP president Manny Villar. Villar made the remarks after Senator Alan Peter Cayetano announced in Davao City that he would be running for vice president. Senator Antonio Trillanes IV has also expressed his intention to run for the second highest elective post in the country. She said Cayetano’s decision to declare his vice presidential plans in Davao City was an indication that he would run in tandem with potential presidential candidate Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. As for Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Villar said he was unlikely to run for president and would probably cast his lot as well in the vice presidential race. Villar said Marcos would probably run without a standard-bearer. “Eh di tutulungan nalang natin silang lahat.

How can you choose from these three? Lahat sila ay miyembro namin at tutulungan namin,â€? Villar said. “Lahat sila matatapang at matitigas ang ulo. Iyan naman talaga ang trait ng party namin,â€? Villar said. Villar also said the NP will not enter into a coalition with any larger political party in the 2016 elections, rather, will remain independent. Villar said her husband had been consulted by the NP members as regards their politicals plans and would support all three particularly in the ÂżQDQFLDO DVSHFW She, however, added that the NP would endorse no one. Each NP member would also be free to support whoever they choose among the three Nacionalista vice presidentiables. Villar admitted that some NP members would be switching parties but added that it was not a cause for concern since the party was more concerned about the quality of its members rather than the quantity.

Binay mentioned that the conditions of Arroyo’s detention are unnecessarily strict, with her access to cellphone, radio, and television prohibited.

The vice president stated that Aquino had previously asked him to look into the situation and make a recommendation. Binay did not explicitly say what his recommendation was, though he did say that Aquino ultimately decided to not allow Marcos’ burial at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. If he wins and the topic comes up again during his presidency, Binay said he would reopen talks with Marcos’ living relatives, mentioning Senator Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. and former First Lady and Ilocos Norte Rep. Imelda Marcos. On his Cabinet Binay mentioned that he would prefer that his cabinet during his administration have no “learning curve� and instead be full of experienced individuals with “executive ability.�

GPH panel asks Aquino to keep pushing for Bangsamoro law MANILA, Sept 29 (Mabuhay) – The government peace panel in talks with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) on Tuesday appealed to Filipinos to keep pushing for the enactment of a Bangsamoro law following Congress’ decision to push anew their deadline to December 16. “There are many ways and means that we can still see this through. But we need to get our voices heard. We need that push coming from everyone,â€? Prof. Miriam Coronel-Ferrer, chair of the government panel, said.m Leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives have earlier agreed on a December 16 deadline on their respective versions of the MalacaĂąang-proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), citing the need to prioritize the 2016 General Appropriations Act.

Inaanunsyo ng Comcast ang ikalimang back-to-school kickoff para sa internet essentials Higit sa 2 Milyong Amerikanong Kabilang sa Low Income Class, Mula sa 500,000 Pamilya, ang Ngayon ay Nalagpasan na ang Digital Divide sa Tahanan; Dinoble ng Kumpanya DQJ ,QWHUQHW 6SHHG 1DJ DDORN QJ 0JD :LÂż 5RXWHU 1DQJ :DODQJ .DUDJGDJDQJ *DVWRV DW 1DJ DQXQV\R QJ 3LORW 3URJUDP 3DUD VD 0JD /RZ ,QFRPH 6HQLRU &LWL]HQV PHILADELPHIA, (Agosto 4, 2015) — Inanunsyo ngayon ng Comcast ang ilang makabuluhang pagpapahusay at milyahe para sa Internet Essentials, ang pinakamalaki at pinakakomprehensibong high-speed Internet adoption program sa bansa. Sinabi ng kompanya na balak nitong doblehin ang Internet speed ng serbisyo sa pag-download, mag-alok sa mga subscriber ng WiFi router nang walang karagdagang gastos, at magsagawa ng ilang pilot program para sa mga low-income na senior citizen. Ipinapagtibay ng anunsyo ang pangako ng Comcast na tumulong sa pagwawakas ng digital divide para sa mga low-income na pamilya at ihatid ang nakapagbabagong kapangyarihan ng Internet sa mas marami pang tahanang Amerikano. Mula nang mabuo ang programa, nakagawa na ang Comcast ng 25 mahahalagang pagpapahusay sa Internet Essentials, at ito ang ikatlong beses sa apat na taon na nadagdagan ng Comcast ang bilis ng Internet para sa mga kostumer. Ang kasalukuyang bilis ay dodoble sa hanggang 10 Mbps downstream, na sapat upang magpatakbo ng maramihang device nang sabay-sabay. Bilang karagdagan, sa pamamagitan ng pag-aalok ng mga libreng WiFi router, ang mga kostumer ay makakapagkonekta ng anumang device na may Internet, kabilang ang mga tablet at smartphone, na tiyak na makakatulong makatipid ng pera sa buwanang bayarin sa wireless. “Nakagawa kami ng makabuluhang pagsulong sa pagwawakas sa digital divide para sa mga magulang at anak sa buong bansa na nabibilang sa low-income class. Wala pang apat na taon, naikonekta na ng Internet Essentials ang higit sa 500,000 pamilya, o higit sa 2 milyong Amerikan-

ong may mababang kita, sa kapangyarihan ng Internet sa tahanan,â€? sabi ni David L. Cohen, Senior Executive Vice President at &KLHI 'LYHUVLW\ 2IÂżFHU QJ &RPFDVW &RUSRration. “Sa pagdagdag sa bilis ng Internet nitong programa, pagdagdag ng WiFi at mas pinahusay na proseso ng auto-enrollment, mas maraming pamilya ang magkakaroon ng lalong mas madaling access sa Internet at sa mga nagpapabagong-buhay na resources nito para sa edukasyon, trabaho, pangangalaga sa kalusugan, komunikasyon at libangan.â€? Ang pilot program para sa mga low-income senior ay dinisenyo upang mas maintindihan ang natatanging mga hamon sa pagtulong sa kanilang malagpasan ang digital divide at matutunang gamitin ang Internet. Ayon sa Pew Research Center, 47 porsiyento lamang, o mas mababa sa kalahati, ng mga senior (edad 65 pataas) ang may high-speed na Internet sa bahay. Pagdating sa antas ng kita, 25 porsiyento lamang ng mga senior na may sambahayang kita na di aabot sa $30,000 ang may broadband sa bahay, kumpara sa 82 porsiyento ng mga senior na may sambahayang kita na $75,000 o higit pa. Ang unang pilot program ay magaganap sa West Palm Beach, Florida, kung saan sinamahan si Cohen ng Mayor ng Lungsod ng West Palm Beach na si Jeri Muoio, ng School District Superintendent ng Palm Beach County na si Robert Avossa, at ng Presidente ng Urban League of Palm Beach County at CEO na si Patrick J. Franklin upang gawin ang mga anunsyo ngayong araw. “Maaaring huling naiisip ang mga senior citizen pagdating sa pagtugon sa kaalamang digital at paggamit ng Internet,â€? sabi ni Franklin. “Subalit, ang Internet ay may

napakalaking kakayahan upang tumulong na mapabuti ang kanilang mga buhay sa pamamagitan ng paggiba sa mga pader na inilagay ng heograpiya sa pagitan nila at ng kanilang mga mahal sa buhay. Maaari rin nitong tulungang maibalik ang pakiramdam na sila ay kabilang sa komunidad, ang mga ugnayan na maaaring humina sa ating pagtanda.� Upang matanggap ang mas mabilis na Internet speed, kailangan lamang i-reboot ng mga kostumer ang kanilang mga cable modem. Ang mga kasalukuyang kostumer na gustong magkaroon ng WiFi router ay kailangan lamang tumawag sa dedikadong call center at hilinging ipadala ang isa sa kanila nang libre, o maaari silang mag-iskedyul para sa isang propesyonal na pagkabit, na wala ring dagdag na gastos. Ang mga bagong kostumer ay mabibigyan ng opsyon na makatanggap ng WiFi router kapag sila ay nagpalista.

New features, upgraded suspension components and styling revisions highlight 2016 Sonata FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Sept. 11, 2015 – The award-winning Hyundai Sonata lineup heads into 2016 offering more features, minor styling updates, suspension upgrades and improved fuel economy on models equipped with the 2.4L engine. The 2016 Sonata starts at $21,750, excluding $835 freight charge, and is arriving in dealerships now. 2016 Sonata Highlights: – Adds Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) functionality on models previously equipped with Forward Collision Warning – 7-inch color touchscreen Display Audio with Android Auto applied on SE, Sport, Limited, Eco and Sport 2.0T – Application of aluminum suspension components to reduce unsprung mass for improved handling – Conventional sunroof available on Sport (optional) and Limited (standard) – New 17-inch wheel design and application of Sport front fascia on Limited trim – Limited 2.0T add heated function for D-cut steering wheel Following its launch last year, the seventh-generation Sonata has garnered such accolades as being named “Best Midsize Car for the Money� by U.S. News & World Report and “Most Affordable Midsize Sedan� by Cars.com. For 2016, the Sonata’s interior adds more content including Hyundai’s 7-inch color touchscreen Display Audio system, Android Auto and rearview camera system. In addition, a conventional sunroof is now available on Sport models and standard on Limited trims. Limited 2.0T models also add a heated function for the D-cut steering wheel. Visual enhancements to the Limited include

a more aggressively styled front bumper from the Sport model with a 3-bar grille, a new 17inch alloy wheel design and updated woodgrain pattern interior trim on vehicles with the beige interior. To reduce unsprung weight and improve handling, some of the Sonata’s suspension components are now crafted from aluminum instead of steel. The steering knuckle and the lower control arm in front and the upper control arm and assist arms in back are now aluminum. The 2016 Hyundai Sonata continues with its all four-cylinder engine lineup. A 2.4-liter Theta II GDI engine producing 185 horsepower and 178 lb. ft. of torque powers the SE, Limited and Sport models. A 2.0-liter Theta II turbocharged GDI motivates Sport 2.0T and Limited 2.0T models with 245 horsepower and 260 lb. ft. of torque.

Changes introduced last year are a smaller turbine and compressor wheel helped provide better responsiveness and more torque in the low and mid RPM range. Both Theta engines are paired with a six-speed SHIFTRONIC ÂŽ automatic transmission. The Eco model remains the fuel economy champion of the non-hybrid Sonatas with its 1.6-liter turbocharged Gamma four-cylinder with 177 horsepower and 195 lb. ft. of torque paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Eco models receive a 28 mpg EPA fuel economy rating in the city and 38 mpg on the highway for a class-leading 32 mpg combined. Standard features include remote keyless entry with alarm, body color heated exterior power mirrors, LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL), steering wheel-mounted audio and

cruise control and Bluetooth hands-free phone system. Premium features such as HID Xenon headlights, panoramic sunroof and 10-speaker ,Q¿QLW\ ZDWW SUHPLXP DXGLR V\VWHP ZLWK subwoofer are options.

2016 Honda HR-V achieves highest overall score for collision safety TORRANCE, Calif., Sep 11, 2015 – The stylish and versatile 2016 Honda HR-V has received a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score, the top score available in the National Highway 7UDIÂżF 6DIHW\ $GPLQLVWUDWLRQ 1+76$ 1HZ Car Assessment Program (NCAP). “Using Honda’s packaging magic, powertrain innovation and safety engineering expertise, the HR-V delivers a high level of occupant safety protection along with class-leading fuel economy and interior space,â€? said Jeff Conrad, Honda Division senior vice president and general manager. “True to Honda’s commitment to the safety of all road users, the HR-V is designed to make the vehicle more compatible with other vehicles and to help to mitigate injuries to pedestrians in the event of a collision.â€? Blending the styling of a coupe, and the space and utility of a SUV, the 2016 Honda HR-V utilizes the latest generation of Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure. The ACE™ body structure improves frontal crash energy management through a wider range of offset and oblique collision modes. In addition, other body reinforcements work in tandem with the strengthened body structure to better maintain the occupant compartment volume during frontal collisions by providing additional crash energy pathways to help mit-

The study by Boston Consulting Group said available systems like automatic braking and lane control assistance technology could reduce the number of accidents by 28 percent. The researchers said broader adoption of these technologies could pave the way for fully autonomous vehicles and lead to a 90 percent reduction in accidents over time. “Because the vast majority of crashes in the United States are caused by driver error, the lack of adoption of these technologies ZLWKLQ WKH 86 Ă€HHW LV D VLJQLÂżFDQW PLVVHG RSportunity,â€? said Xavier Mosquet, a co-author of the study funded by the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA). The report noted that roughly 33,000 people are killed and 3.9 million injured each year in automotive accidents in the United States – at a cost to society of $910 billion annually. As a result, the researchers said adopting these available technologies would save 9,900 lives and $251 billion in societal costs. The study focused on auto features which are available in many vehicles as options such as forward collision warning, surround view, adaptive cruise control – which adjusts speeds to maintain a safe distance, blind spot detection, night vision, lane departure warning and parking assist. Adoption of these “Advanced Driver Assistance Systemsâ€? or ADAS has been slow because many consumers are unwilling to pay the extra costs. For example, car owners in a recent survey said they would be willing to pay $100 to $400 for blind spot detection, but the current cost is nearly $600. The report calculated that the available technologies would add $8,240 to the cost of a vehicle, but would save $16,307 in societal costs over 20 years. “We possess the know-how and technology to save nearly 10,000 lives on America’s roads annually,â€? said Steve Handschuh, president and chief executive of the association of auto equipment manufacturers. “What’s lacking is the urgency to increase consumer education and the political will to get it done today. The way forward should include a mix of federal tax incentives and discounts on insurance premiums to steer consumers toward available safety technologies.â€?The study said additional systems are expected to become available in the coming years including “traffic jam autopilot,â€? “highway autopilot with lane-changing,â€? and “urban available.â€? But the report noted that “at current adoption rates, making these partially autonomous features affordable to consumers poses a challenge.â€?

Honda’s new $210-M vehicle paint V\VWHP ZLOO VLJQLĂ€FDQWO\ UHGXFH environmental impacts Investment at Ohio plant reduces CO2 emissions, water use, paint sludge, and volatile organic compounds MARYSVILLE, Ohio, Sept. 25, 2015 – Honda’s oldest auto manufacturing plant continues to be environmental leader. Honda of America Mfg., Inc. announced today a $210 million investment in a new, state-of-the-art paint line at its Marysville $XWR 3ODQW 0$3 Âą +RQGDÂśV ÂżUVW DQG ODUJHVW auto plant in North America – to further its commitment to reducing its environmental footprint while improving on the already high quality of its products. The new MAP Line 1 paint facility will utilize numerous new technologies to sigQLÂżFDQWO\ UHGXFH HQHUJ\ XVH ZDWHU XVH DQG chemical emissions from the vehicle painting process while at the same time, improving the quality of Honda and Acura vehicles produced at MAP using domestic and globally sourced parts. When complete, the new paint shop ZLOO EH WKH PRVW HQHUJ\ HIÂżFLHQW SDLQW OLQH LQ Honda’s U.S automobile production network. Auto body painting can account for upward of 60 percent of an automobile plant’s total energy use. “Honda is committed to delivering products that have outstanding quality and low environmental impact,â€? said Tom Shoupe, executive vice president and COO of Honda of America Mfg., Inc. “With this new investment, our Ohio operations are once again raising the bar for quality and environmentally responsible manufacturing operations.â€? Construction of the new paint line will begin this December and is slated for completion in December 2017. The new Line 1 paint shop will have a capacity of 229,000 units annually. The 300,000 square foot facility will replace the existing facility built in 1985. The Marysville plant’s Line 2 operation received a major renovation in 2006. Short Process and New Primer Coat The new paint shop will use a more comSDFW DQG HQHUJ\ HIÂżFLHQW FRDW EDNH VKRUW process – versus the 4-coat, 3-bake used on the current line, eliminating one primer-coat curing oven. To facilitate the new short process, the line will also use 2K waterborne primer designed exclusively for Honda in conjunction with its paint material supplier. The combination of the new 2k waterborne primer coat and waterborne base coat will reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions nearly 66 percent compared to ex-

isting Line 1 operations. Dry-Booth Technology The new paint line will use “dry-boothâ€? technology, which uses limestone dust in place of water to capture paint overspray, reducing water use by two million gallons annually. Eliminating water used to capture paint particulates will eliminate paint sludge as a waste byproduct, resulting in the elimination of more than 255 tons of sludge. Additionally, the new booth will reduce CO2 emissions by 18 percent (12,000 metric tons annually). Based on Honda research, the new MAP Line 1 paint shop will be the highest-volume application of dry booth automobile painting technology in North America. Two-Step Curing The new paint shop will also advance vehicle appearance by using a new two-step temperature curing process with more autoPDWLRQ ZKLFK VXSSRUWV SDLQW ÂżQLVK DSSHDUDQFH improvements. Honda’s Environmental Commitment Based on its vision of “Blue Skies for our Children,â€?

1HZ 1LVVDQ $OWLPD DGRSWV WKH ODWHVW GHVLJQ ODQJXDJH IRU D IUHVK QHZ ORRN When Nissan rolled out a series of futuristic auto show concept vehicles a few years ago, few people believed that the boldly styled designs would ever see the light of a Nissan showroom. Yet against the odds they started coming. First, there was the Nissan Resonance Concept, a wild mid-size crossover concept that evolved into the 2015 Murano. Then NisVDQ 6SRUW 6HGDQ &RQFHSW VWURQJO\ LQĂ€XHQFHG the radical new 2016 Nissan Maxima. And, the new Nissan design language is making its way into more and more vehicles – including Nissan’s best-selling vehicle in the United States, the Nissan Altima. For the new 2016 Altima the design team adopted key aspects of both the exterior and interior styling themes to give the popular mid-size sedan a fresh new appearance, including the “Energetic Flowâ€? exterior styling theme and “Gliding Wingâ€? interior layout. The front end of the 2016 Altima offers the most dramatic change, since all panels and pieces forward of the A-pillars are new – fascia, bumper, fenders, hood and lights. Two key elements are the redesigned V-Motion grille and boomerang-shape headlights, similar to those found on the Murano and Maxima. The look is dramatically different from the 2015 Altima design, with a wide, deeply sculpted lower bumper, integrated fog lights (SR, SV and SL models) and prominent chrome-trimmed grille. The reshaped headlight units incorporate halogen high beam and projector low beam lights. LED projector low beam lights and LED signature Daytime Running Lights that sweep into the wide raised hood are standard on Altima 3.5 SR and 3.5 SL grades (late availability) and available on 2.5 SR and 2.5 SL. Altima SR adds smoked headlight bezels. The rear of the new Altima is marked by a new sculpted bumper with a dark lower accent, a new trunk lid – with integrated rear spoiler on Altima SR models – and lower, wider boomerang-shaped combination lights that help provide a more expressive, higher quality appearance when approaching the vehicle from behind. The four-piece combination lights incorporate the tail- and stop lights, turn lamps and backup lights.

It may seem like a bizarre question; but as well as technological challenges, the road to autonomous cars is littered with ethical, moral and even philosophical obstacles that need to be overcome before self-driving vehicles can take to the streets.

“Who is responsible for autonomous driving – the driver, the vehicle owner, or the manufacturer? Since robots cannot act like humans or be treated like them, we must clarify how to assign our criteria from criminal law, civil law and common morals to the new technologies,â€? said Prof. Dr. Julian Nida-RĂźmelin, Professor of Philosophy at LMU Munich. 1LGD 5 PHOLQ DQ H[SHUW LQ WKH ÂżHOG RI

Theoretically, autonomous cars could cut road collision deaths, congestion, pollution and driver stress levels overnight while simultaneously boosting many people’s quality of life. Yet until there is a consensus regarding not just liability but, for instance, how a self driving car is programmed to act in an XQH[SHFWHG WUDIÂżF VLWXDWLRQ RU KRZ LW FROOHFWV and potentially uses personal data, progress towards reality will be slow. “The safety of every road user is our top priority for automated driving as well. Just as important as technical developments is that our customers have legal certainty and security when it comes to ethical and data protection matters,â€? said Dr. Christine Hohmann-Dennhardt, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, responsible

for Integrity and Legal Affairs. What isn’t open for discussion at the symposium, however, is the technological feasibility of self driving cars; everyone is in agreement that it is simply a question of when, rather than if.

Volkswagen launches website for Âľ'LHVHOJDWHÂś FDUV Monday September 28 2015 (Relaxnews) – If you want to know if your VW-built car is one of those with a diesel engine with a ‘defeat device’ and what the company plans to do about it, Volkswagen has launched a dedicated website to keep you informed. The website – vwdieselinfo.com – offers a full frequently asked questions section to try to help put owners’ minds at ease regarding their cars and of course, is very apologetic in tone. The site is also where updates will be posted regarding the action the VW Group will be taking to remedy the problem. On September 18 the US Environmental Protection Agency charged the Volkswagen Group with manipulating software on 500,000 diesel engine cars in the US in order to’cheat’ on emissions tests. In the days that have followed VW has admitted to using a defeat device and installing the software in as many as 11 million vechicles worldwide.
