ADAS gives DND, AFP a glimpse of modernization needs as defense and security take centerstage in a changing geopolitical environment

By Rene Acosta

OR three days this week, the military was provided with an opportunity to review what it has so far achieved, and what it would still need in its ongoing modernization program through the Asian Defense and Security (ADAS) 2022 held at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. The ADAS 2022, which was supported by the Department of National Defense (DND), the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and other agencies of government, has shown the country’s “strategic importance,” according to Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, who added that the event has placed the Philippines at the center stage of defense and security. With 155 exhibitors from 31 countries who make the best assets, equipment, weapons and technologies in the world of defense and security, the exhibition accorded the Philippine military the chance to actually reassess its capability upgrade program and provided it with a list of future acquisitions. “We encourage all personnel from the defense and security sectors to maximize this opportunity presented by ADAS 2022 to attend this highly significant event and update themselves on

the latest weapon systems and equipment,” Lorenzana said in opening the event. On the other hand, AFP Chief of Staff General Andres Centino said the military joined the ADAS in order to update itself and evaluate its modernization program requirements, given the actual presence of the world’s leading defense manufacturers and their state-ofthe-art and cutting-edge assets, equipment and technologies. “The defense and security sector has significantly benefited from the ADAS series. By establishing networks and fostering stronger collaboration with the leaders of the industry, the event

provides opportunities for our policymakers to develop effective and swift responses against a myriad of national security threats,” Centino said.

Biggest names in business

THE ADAS 2022 assembled the biggest names in defense and security, some of which have been the contractors of the military’s previous and ongoing modernization projects as well as proponents of its upcoming procurements. They include the Korean Aerospace Industries, Embraer, Airbus and Rafael, which delivered fighter jets, helicopters and other aircraft Continued on A2

Your shopping bill is about to get even higher. Blame Indonesia’s palm oil ban. By Anuradha Raghu, Pratik Parija & Eko Listiyorini

Bloomberg News

NDONESIA’S palm oil export ban kicked off Thursday in one of the most drastic cases of food protectionism since the war erupted in Ukraine.

The top shipper imposed a sweeping ban on cooking oil exports, covering palm oil products across the value chain. It’s hard to overstate the importance of the tropical oil as it’s found everywhere today—in food, soap, lipstick and even printing ink—which makes Indonesia’s move important for the world. The move adds to the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which plunged the global edible oil market into disarray. With food costs surging to all-time highs, governments are taking steps to secure their own supplies. The United Nations has urged leaders to keep trade open, warning that protectionism will drive up prices and lead to empty shelves in countries dependent on imports. In a move illustrating the country’s determination to enforce the ban, the Navy said it detained two tankers carrying palm

oil heading to India and the United Arab Emirates for alleged violation of export controls. The Navy will increase monitoring and security in the country’s waters to prevent smuggling.

‘Inflationary for everyone’

INDONESIA’S export ban is “inflationary for everyone,” said Atul Chaturvedi, president of the Solvent Extractors’ Association of India. India is the top importer of palm oil and gets about 45 percent of its supply from the Southeast Asian country. “If the supply chain is disrupted, companies will try to ration their supplies because they don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow.” The country is certainly not making it easy to navigate its palm export ban. The top producer said Friday it would suspend all shipments of cooking oil, sending prices of palm and its substitute soyoil

PALM oil loaded into trucks from a tanker docked at Tanjung Priok Port in Jakarta, Indonesia on Tuesday, April. 26, 2022. After a shock announcement by Indonesia late Friday about banning all exports of cooking oil, the world’s top producer clarified days later that it will only halt exports of RBD palm olein, while shipments of crude palm oil can continue. BLOOMBERG

soaring. Then late Monday, reports emerged that only palm olein, a refined product, would be halted, prompting a swift retreat in prices and traders rushing to comply with the ban. The government delivered another shock Wednesday evening, widening the ban to include crude palm oil, RBD palm oil and even used cooking oil, contradicting its earlier statement. That covers the products across the entire supply chain. Indonesia accounts for about a third of global edible oil exports. The move is “one of the biggest acts of agriculture nationalism so far during this surge in food prices,” said Tobin Gorey, an agri-

commodities strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. Palm oil futures dropped 1.1 percent to close at 6,910 ringgit ($1,583) a ton on Thursday, paring gains this week. Prices jumped by the 10 percent trading limit a day earlier, hours before Indonesia announced the widened export ban.

Everybody suffers

PRESIDENT Joko Widodo said late Wednesday that the ban would be lifted once the local demand for food staples is met, adding that it was “ironic” that the country had difficulty getting cooking oil. The decision to ban exports came after earlier policies weren’t effective in

easing the shortage, he said. It is uncertain if the ban will have the desired effect. The government acknowledged that the policy may cut the country’s palm output and result in unsold harvests for farmers. There are also concerns about when Indonesian producers will run out of capacity to store the oil they can no longer export. “With this hard stance, the government is punishing errant refiners by punishing the whole Indonesian plantation industry,” RHB Research analyst Hoe Lee Leng wrote in a note. “All players in Indonesia would likely suffer, although pure upstream exporters would likely suffer more.”

Tools of war keep the peace Continued from A1

and even upcoming missile systems for the Philippine Air Force. Other firms such as Elbit Systems, Hyundai Heavy Industries and contractors from the Czech Republic have also supplied the Philippine Army, the Philippine Navy and law-enforcement units with warships, howitzers, light tanks and firearms, while Brahmos Aerospace is set to deliver to the military its first batteries of supersonic missiles. The companies have brought along other products with them, while other defense contractors showcased their own platforms, systems and technologies as they competed for customers and markets, both in the military and civilian sectors. “What we have here is basically cross cutting through the Czech defense industry. We have companies that are doing aircraft. We have Excalibur Army. We have CZ company, which is actually one of the most famous, one of the biggest producers of handguns in the world,” said Czech Republic’s Ministry of Defense Deputy Director Ben Ziga. “Then we are looking at electronic warfare jammers, intelligent humans, air traffic control and radars. What we have here is everything from heavy equipment to electronic warfare,” he added. Czech companies and other

“Y

ou know you are facing threats in the South China Sea that are obvious; you need electronic warfare, you need jammers, you need intelligent equipment.”

—Czech Republic’s Ministry of Defense Deputy Director Ben Ziga exhibitors are looking forward to sustaining the third and last phase of the military’s modernization while prospecting for other markets as the ADAS drew visitors and interested clients from even other militaries, civilians and companies abroad.

The ‘threats’

“YOU know you are facing threats in the South China Sea that are obvious you need electronic warfare, you need jammers, you need intelligent equipment,” Ziga said. Touring the booths, Centino said he saw a lot of products and systems that fit into their modernization program. “It’s not just for the military. We have seen unmanned aerial systems (UAS) that we can use in humanitarian assistance and disaster response. I saw one UAS that can take off vertically, which we can use in calamity assessment,” he said. “Instead of using our helicopters, which only have two hours of endurance, we can use this for 12 hours in calamity areas,” he added. Centino said that without the

ADAS, they would not see the capabilities of assets and equipment that they intend to acquire. The chief of staff said the modernization program, being part of the law, would not stop even with the change of elected government leaders after the May 9 elections. He defended the holding of the exhibition and the ongoing procurement of the military against claims that it could trigger an arms race in the region. “All armed forces are modernizing, so it’s important that we are also on a par with our allies. We have to upgrade and improve our capability,” the military chief said.

Looking for bigger acquisitions

LORENZANA also said the defense department is looking for more acquisitions, which are bigger ones, in the last phase of the modernization program. “We have bought a lot and a lot more will be procured. We are actually waiting for money. Horizon 3 is for sophisticated equipment,” he said, mentioning submarines as one of the projects.

BBM: 180K plantilla positions vacant, while thousands of govt casuals suffer

OTING the predicament of thousands of state workers who have been serving for the longest time without being given permanent status despite meeting qualifications, presidential frontrunner Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. on Thursday said it’s about time the government pays attention to their plight. Many of these employees have spent the best years of their lives in public service and yet continued to be classified as contractual employees or job-order (JO) workers, he said. Marcos pointed out that regularization is a major issue not just for the private sector, but it has long been a concern also for those working in the government, “because some of them are only hired through job orders or contracts of service for one reason or another.” Currently, there are around 600,000 to 700,000 JO workers in the government, even as there are about 180,000 “unfilled” plantilla positions. “There are 180,000 unfilled plantillas, so let’s fill them up first and we will strive to regularize the status of JO workers at the national and local government levels, given the funds available and what the law allows,” Marcos said, partly in Filipino. Many government JO workers, especially those with the local government units earn only around P10,000 per month without enjoying the benefits and other perks that come with being on permanent status. The current minimum wage in Metro Manila is P537 per day, which is still comparatively low and could barely keep a family of five live decently, considering the high cost of living in the National Capital Region. “Our minimum wage is low enough as it is, and yet there are those receiving lower than that; and what’s sad is that they serve people as State workers,” said Marcos. He said he can not imagine “how our JO workers survive these days. We will fix that so that they and their families can enjoy some relief,” he added. Aside from lower salaries, casual and JO workers often do not receive benefits such as Christmas bonuses and 13th month pay that regular or permanent employees get. Marcos said he intends to propose legislation that state workers who consistently receive “excellent performance evaluations” for at least three consecutive years be given the chance to be hired as permanents. “If their record at work is good and they have consistent outstanding performance ratings, maybe they can be made regular even without the corresponding eligibility,” said Marcos.

‘Fearless forecast’ of 1-M foreign tourists by yearend By MA. STELLA F. ARNALDO

Special to the BusinessMirror

OREIGN tourist arrivals in the Philippines are projected to exceed 1 million by the end of 2022, supporting recent tourism reports of a quick turnaround in the travel industry. Jose C. Clemente III, president of the Tourism Congress of the Philippines, made this forecast in his presentation Wednesday at the Livable Cities Philippines webinar on “Revenge Travel: Post-Pandemic Tourist Boom.” He said, “Demand continues to remain robust for the following months, and we expect more arrivals for the winter season of 2022, barring any unforeseen events. My fearless forecast is that by the end of the year, we should be seeing numbers of about 1.1 million to 1.3 million [foreign tourist arrivals].” He noted these inbound arrivals “is a far cry” from the 8.26 million foreign tourists received pre-pandemic, in

2019, “but considering where we came from, those numbers [1-1.3 million] actually bodes quite well for the tourism industry.” His optimism is fueled on the speed by which foreign tourists have arrived and the return of the “long-haul markets” like Europe and North America, which have loosened their respective travel restrictions and allowed their citizens to return to their home countries without quarantining. Clemente is also president of Rajah Tours Philippines, a popular tour operator among balikbayans (homecoming Filipinos) and European tourists.

Inbound arrivals break 300K-mark Data provided by the Department of Tourism (DOT) showed 319,047 inbound arrivals from February 10, since the country reopened to the leisure travel markets, to April 25. This comes on the heels of the Philippines’s successful

hosting of the 21st Global Summit of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) from April 20 to 22. “The sustained growth in foreign arrivals in the country indicates the recovery of our tourism industry, and thus the country’s overall economy. With the recent holding of the WTTC Global Summit in the Philippines, the DOT is optimistic that foreign tourism arrivals to the country will pick up even more as foreigners are made aware of the Philippines as a safe and fun destination to travel,” said Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo Puyat in a news statement. Of total arrivals for the reference period, 129,062 were balikbayans (40.5 percent of total), and foreign tourists were 189,985 (59.6 percent).

The next big destination Meanwhile, Clemente predicted Siquijor would probably be the next big tourism destination five years from now.

More popularly known as a place for aswangs, manananggals, and mangkukulams, he jested, “But once you get there, I’d even call it a spiritual place. It’s so quiet, peaceful, and laidback. It’s a place to recharge and get away from the world. It’s not yet crowded, the roads are quite nice, I was very surprised.” At present though, the island is only accessible via Dumaguete or Bohol. The recent surge in domestic tourism brought most people to Boracay Island, Baguio, Cebu, and Bohol, he said. During the Lenten break, the massive influx of tourists in Boracay caused a breach in its carrying capacity. The boom in domestic travel lifted the tourism sector’s contribution to the gross domestic product in 2021 by 129 percent, according to a report from the WTTC, making the Philippines the world’s fourth fastest growing economy that year. (See, “WTTC sees PHL raising $155 billion by 2032,” in the BusinessMirror, April 20, 2022).

Sputnik-jabbed OFWs can now work in Taiwan By Malou Talosig-Bartolome

ilipinos interested to work in Taiwan and vaccinated with Russia’s Sputnik V vaccines are now allowed to apply at the de facto embassy of Taiwan in the Philippines, the B usiness M irror learned Friday. Taiwanese representative to Manila Peiyung Hsu said that the Ministry of Labor of Taiwan has given the OFWs who were immunized with Sputnik Gamaleya vaccine “permission to enter Taiwan for employment.”

The Taiwanese envoy informed this new policy to Labor and Employment Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III in a letter dated April 15. Last February, Taiwan lifted the ban on the deployment of workers from the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand, but required that the workers from the four Southeast Asian countries need to be fully vaccinated from Covid-19. However, around 100 OFWs whose applications have already been processed in May 2021 could not be issued visas because their vaccines were Sputnik V.

Taiwan is only allowing Covid-19 vaccines approved by the World Health Organization or the Taiwan’s Health Authority for emergency use. This prompted the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) to stop accepting applications from OFWs who were vaccinated with Covid-19. The affected OFWs then appealed to Bello, saying they were just victim of circumstances—following Philippine government orders to be vaccinated, whatever is available and regardless of vaccine brand.

Bello wrote to the TECO representative last March. Ambassador Hsu said the Taiwanese government agreed to allow Sputnikjabbed Filipinos “based on reciprocity.” The letter, a copy of which was obtained by the B u s i n e s s M i r r o r , was not clear on the reciprocity arrangement the Philippines and Taiwan in allowing Sputnik vaccinated Filipinos to Taiwan. Last month though, Manila and Taipei had signed a reciprocity agreement on vaccine certificate issued by both countries.

‘RCEP better than existing FTAs among Asean states’ By Andrea E. San Juan

MEGA trade deal like the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) has substantial advantages over the existing Association of Southeast Asian Nation Free Trade Agreements (Asean FTAs) since it enhances market access and provides a stable regulatory framework for the entire region, according to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) DTI Assistant Secretary Allan B. Gepty emphasized that RCEP is not just about trade in goods but has notable value-added provisions in services, investments, e-commerce, competition, and intellectual property, among others. This, as he warned that non-ratification by Manila of RCEP negates the positive impact of its recently enacted trio of liberalization reforms on retail trade, public services and utilities, and foreign investments. Meanwhile, in relation to RCEP’s effects on agricultural products, Gepty noted that tariff liberalization under the agreement would be comparatively limited considering existing FTAs with the other RCEP parties. Gepty stressed: “Only 33 agricultural tariff lines will be further liberalized under RCEP, which is only equivalent to 1.9 percent of the total agricultural tariff lines.” He also elaborated some key fea-

tures of the RCEP agreement such as streamlined customs procedures and a single set of rules of origin for the export products of all RCEP countries, as opposed to the multiple sets of rules that govern trade within the region. The above-mentioned features will help lower the prices for goods and materials within the region, as administrative costs will be reduced by these measures. On concerns over the possible deferral of Philippine accession to the RCEP agreement, Gepty stressed that such a move may result in the erosion of the country’s comparative advantage in existing export products and the country’s positioning as a manufacturing hub in the region. He added that investors and businesses might opt to invest in and trade with countries within the RCEP region instead.

Rejecting RCEP negates reforms Not ratifying the RCEP agreement, Gepty stressed, would derail the momentum caused by the recent passage of economic reforms and send conflicting signals to investors and other stakeholders “We have amended the Foreign Investments Act, the Retail Trade Liberalization Act and the Public Service Act. So basically, we are telling the whole world that we are opening our market for trade and investment, and

yet here you are, the Philippines, trying to restrict [your] participation in the globalized economy,” he stressed. The forum was hosted by the Association for Philippines-China Understanding (APCU) on April 21. It was attended by APCU members composed of Filipino businessmen, academics, journalists, various local and international organizations, and diplomats. Other speakers at the event included Dr. Theresa Chong Cariño, Senior Research Consultant at The Amity Foundation, and Dr. Henry Lim Bon Liong, President of the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FFCCI). For her part, Dr. Cariño tackled the geopolitical implications of the agreement and emphasized RCEP’s role in fostering peace and stability in the region. She described RCEP as a triumph of Asean’s middle power diplomacy since Asean member states were able to utilize their collective bargaining power in positioning the terms of interregional and global trade. “I think if RCEP can strengthen regional economic integration, this will strengthen the role of Asean as a whole. What’s important is that with RCEP, Asean as a whole will uphold rules-based regional architecture and work for cooperation, peace, stability, and prosperity,” Cariño said.

Resilience

Dr. Liong, for his part, highlighted the resilience of the Philippine economy and the lucrative export opportunities that the RCEP agreement could provide to businesses, particularly for micro, small, and medium enterprises. He noted that local enterprises should brace themselves for competition as it will always be present but acknowledged innovation as a way for them to adapt to the market. “I hope that we can try to adapt and try to attract foreign investment, but then local business families should try also to do on our own, by trying to adopt innovations and investing in our own capabilities. As I said, at the end of the day, competition will always be there and we should be ready for that,” he said. RCEP is a free trade agreement among Asean countries and their trading partners including Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea. This represents 30 percent of the global gross domestic product (GDP) or $26.2 trillion. It entered into force on January 1,2022. The trade department has been lobbying for the ratification of RCEP as it is seen to “help restore business confidence and encourage more economic activities, particularly MSMEs [micro,small and medium enterprises], investors, service providers, and professionals.”

New law imposes stiff penalties vs violators of contractors’ license law

iolators of Republic Act No. 4566 or the Contractors’ License Law will soon face stiffer penalties under a new law signed by President Duterte. Duterte on Tuesday finally signed RA No. 11711, which expanded the provisions of Sec. 35 of RA 4566 on prohibited acts. The new law imposes penalty against those who will engage in the business of contracting without the necessary license; and managing partner, officer, or employee of licensed partnership, corporation, firm, association or other organization to individually engage in contracting business. Also prohibited are for two or more licensees, each of whom has been issued a

license to engage separately in the capacity of a contractor, but shall jointly submit a bid or otherwise act in the capacity of a contractor without securing an additional license for acting in the capacity of such a joint venture. Those engaged in the said illegal activities will be fined no less than P100,000, but not more than P500,000 plus the equivalent of one-tenth of one percent of the project cost. The erring parties will also be banned from obtaining a contractor’s license for a period of one year from the time the said party is found guilty. A higher fine of not less than P500,000,

but not more than P1 million and imprisonment of not less than one year, but not more than six years will be imposed on any person, who will present or file the license certificate of another, give false evidence of any kind to the Philippine Licensing Board for Contractors (PCAB), or any member of thereof, in obtaining a certificate or license, impersonate another, or use an expired or revoked certificate or license. Prior to the passage of RA 11711, erring contractors were only fined with no less than P500, but not more than P5,000. The new law also extended the validity of the license issued by the PCAB to one year from the date of issuance from just the

remaining parts of the fiscal year. Contractors in good standing for over 10 to 25 years, they may renew their license every two and three years, respectively. It also raised the existing fees by PCAB for getting license to P5,000, examination of applicants for P6,000 and renewal of license to P5,000. The PCAB was authorized to make use of the said collected fees to improve its accreditation and licensing operations and to increase its rates once every three years. RA 11711 will take effect 15 days after its publication in the Official Gazette in at least two newspapers of general circulation.

Comelec issues final appeal to poll bets to join KBP forum

he Commission on Elections (Comelec) made a last-minute appeal Thursday night to presidential and vice presidential candidates to participate in its joint forum with the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP). “Try to imagine the opportunity. They pay a hefty fee to come out with 30 second ads,” Comelec George M. Garcia said. “This [Comelec-KBP forum] will provide them one hour [of exposure]. We are hoping they will grab the opportunity,” he added.

The deadline for candidates to confirm their participation in the event was supposed to be 5 pm last Thursday. But the Comelec decided to extend it until noon of Friday, April 29, 2022, upon the request from some candidates. As of 8 p.m., Garcia said only 4 presidential candidates and three vice presidential candidates have confirmed their attendance in the forum. Participants of the Comelec-KBP PiliPinas Forum will undergo a one-hour interview

from a panel from KBP. It may be live and in-person; live and via teleconference call; or taped as live with no editing depending on the candidates The interview will be divided into three segments. The first 10 minutes will cover inflation, poverty, jobs, wages, livelihood, and business. The second part will discuss education, healthcare, and pandemic response. The last part will be about red-tagging, press freedom, attacks on civil society, attacks on mainstream media, fake news, e-gambling, electoral reforms, gender issues, political dynasties, dealing with disasters and calamities, use of nuclear energy, resurrecting the Bataan Nuclear

Power Plant, foreign policy, judicial reforms, and appointees. The interviews will be shown from May 2 to May 6, 2022 by Bombo Radyo Philippines, Radio Mindanao Network, ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. (Teleradyo and ANC), TV5 Network Inc. (One PH and OneNews), CNN Philippines, and Radyo Pilipino, among others. Comelec and KBP decided to hold the forum to replace the last two parts of its scrapped PiliPinas 2022 debate series. The poll body discontinued its debate series after its partner organizer for the event, Vote Pilipinas or also known as Impact Hub, has yet to settle its liabilities to Sofitel Philippine Plaza.

IATF: 57.77 percent of PHL under AL1 from May 1 to 15 By Samuel P. Medenilla

etro Manila and most parts of the country will remain under the lowest alert level (AL) classification during the upcoming May 9, 2022 national and local elections. This after the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) issued its Resolution No. 167-A (s.2022) on Thursday, which updated its list of ALs nationwide. Acting Presidential Spokesman Martin M. Andanar said the new list would be in effect from May 1 to 15, 2022. Aside from the National Capital Region (NCR), the following areas will also be placed under AL 1 during the same period: For Luzon: Cordillera Administrative Region: Abra, Apayao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, and Baguio City; Region 2: Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, and Dagupan City; Region 2: Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Quirino, and City of Santiago; Region 3: Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac, Zambales, Angeles City, and Olongapo City; Region 4-A: Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Rizal, and Lucena City; Region 4-B: Marinduque, Oriental Mindoro, Romblon, and Puerto Princesa City; and Region 5: Albay, Catanduanes, Naga City. For the Visayas, Region 6: Aklan, Capiz, Guimaras, Iloilo Province, Bacolod City, and Iloilo City; Region 7: Siquijor, Cebu City, Lapu-Lapu City, and Mandaue City; and Region 8: Biliran, Eastern Samar, Southern Leyte, Ormoc City, and Tacloban City. In Mindanao, areas under AL1 are Region 9: Zamboanga City; Region 10: Camiguin, Bukidnon, Misamis Oriental, Cagayan de Oro City, and Iligan City; Region 11: Davao City; and Caraga: Surigao del Sur and Butuan City. Business establishments and public transportations in areas under AL 1 are allowed to operate at 100 percent capacity. According, the IATF Secretariat the new resolution now brings the total number of whole provinces, highly urbanized cities (HUCs), and independent component cities (ICCs) under Alert Level 1 to 77.

“Counting by cities (including HUCs and ICCs) and municipalities, we have 944 (57.77 percent) of the total 1,634 cities/ municipalities in Alert Level 1,” the IATF Secretariat said. IATF came out with the updated AL list even after a case of the Omicron BA.2.12 subvariant, which the Department of Health (DOH) said contributed to more infections in other countries. The Commission on Elections (Comelec), however, earlier said it has prepared the necessary contingencies such as the strict implementation of minimum health standards in voting centers to ensure the risk of infection during the 2022 polls will be minimized. Health experts warned that the elections could become a “super spreader” event and cause an increase in active Covid-19 active cases by the middle of May. IATF Resolution 167-A also placed the following provinces, HUCs and ICCs under Alert Level 2: For Luzon: Cordillera Administrative Region: Benguet, Ifugao; Region 2: Nueva Vizcaya; Region 4-A: Quezon Province; Region 4-B: Occidental Mindoro and Palawan; and Region 5: Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Masbate, and Sorsogon. For the Visayas, Region 6: Antique and Negros Occidental; Region 7: Bohol, Cebu, and Negros Oriental; and Region 8: Leyte, Northern Samar and Western Samar. For Mindanao, Region 9: City of Isabela, Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga Sibugay; Region 10: Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental; Region 11: Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, Davao de Oro and Davao Occidental; Region 12: General Santos City, North Cotabato, Sarangani, Sultan Kudarat and South Cotabato; Caraga: Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Dinagat Islands and Surigao del Norte; and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao: Basilan, Cotabato City, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi. Business operations and public movement in areas under AL 2 are more limited compared to those under Alert Level 1.

Comelec’s debate mess prober seeks 2 poll execs’ relief from media duties

LECTIONS Commissioner Rey E. Bulay has recommended the temporary “relief” of two poll officials linked to PiliPinas 2022 Debates fiasco. Citing his preliminary findings on the case, Bulay said he found “reasonable cause to commence a formal fact-finding and administrative disciplinary investigation” against Comelec Education and Information Department (EID) director James B. Jimenez and Frances A. Arabe. Pending the conclusion of his probe, the poll official submitted a recommendation to Comelec Chairman Saidamen B. Pangarungan last Wednesday to temporarily relieve both officials “from any functions involving media relations and exposure.” He said this will “ensure the observance of due process, and a thorough, proper, fair and impartial probe.” “The elections being a few days away, Directors Jimenez and Arabe were recommended to continue other functions under the supervision of their committee heads,” Bulay said. Bulay’s Office made the recommenda-

tion on April 27, 2022, for the latter’s consideration. He declined to release additional information on the case to prevent “trial by publicity” of Jimenez and Arabe. Bulay was tasked by Pangarungan to look into the allegation of Sofitel Philippine Plaza against Vote Pilipinas, also known as Impact Hub Manila, that the latter failed to settle its over P14-million bill with the former. Sofitel provided the venue for the first three parts of Comelec’s PiliPinas 2022 Debate series through an agreement with Vote Pilipinas. In an internal memo, Bulay tagged Jimenez and Arabe for purportedly requesting the release of P15 million from Comelec funds to help Impact Hub pay for the liabilities of Vote Pilipinas with Sofitel. However, Bulay stressed, Comelec has no contractual obligation to help Vote Pilipinas pay its bills with Sofitel.

Lacson camp slams ‘dirty trick’ ops in CamSur weekend sortie By Butch Fernandez

he camp of presidential candidate Senator Panfilo Lacson was hounded by “fake news” over the weekend announcing his scheduled Friday to Sunday marathon campaign sorties in the vote-rich Bicol region were “cancelled.” In a news statement, the Lacson camp promptly denounced the plot claiming it was apparently concocted by rival camps to mislead Lacson supporters that the candidate canceled his campaign events in Bicol, particularly in Naga, Camarines Sur. The Lacson campaign team disclosed that their local organizers promptly conveyed information reaching them that “local media that were to attend Lacson’s campaign in Naga were advised that the events were cancelled.”

Lacson’s spokesman, Ashley Acedillo, promptly denied the report denouncing it as a “dirty trick,” adding “we are no longer surprised by such tactics as Election Day draws closer.” That said, Acedillo added, “It does not take away the disgust over the acts of whoever is/are behind this fake news.” He pointed out “it is worth repeating that votes for (Senator) Ping Lacson and his running mate (Senate President) Tito Sotto are votes for a much-needed leadership to fix our country’s ills.” For now, the Lacson camp confirmed they are still gathering additional information “on Friday morning’s fake news.” It added that Lacson, unwilling to be diverted from his campaign, is sticking to his scheduled activities in Bicol, including courtesy calls and town hall meetings in Catanduanes, Naga, and Albay.

China faces bleak holidays as Covid Zero disrupts travel

hinese holidaymakers face another holiday season ruined by virus outbreaks and controls, with the government’s stringent Covid Zero restrictions and fears of infection expected to keep many people at home during the upcoming Labor Day break. Travel was already down in March, when the biggest Covid-19 outbreak in two years prompted officials to lock down major cities like Shenzhen and block or restrict road traffic to try and stop the transmission of the virus. With millions of Shanghai residents still confined to their homes and restrictions being tightened in several other cities, including in Beijing, for many people travel is on hold for now. Government officials estimate that passenger traffic over the five-day holiday that begins on Saturday will plunge 62 percent from last year, road traffic will drop by half and travel by plane could slump 77 percent. Ctrip said about half of travel bookings made on its online platform are for short-distance trips within provinces, according to a report. The collapse in what is usually one of the busiest tourism seasons in China is another blow to the services industries, which have borne the brunt of more than two years of domestic lockdowns and travel restrictions to contain virus outbreaks. Even when the number of tourists trips recovered to pre-pandemic levels last year, holidaymakers were still spending a lot less and making shorter, local trips. An outbreak forced Guangzhou Airport to cancel all flights on

Friday and Saturday, according to local media Yicai. There were four cases found from testing at the airport on Thursday, according to an official briefing reported in local media. The airport had earlier delayed some flights, a subway station there was shut, and mass Covid testing was started in three districts of the city. For those who aren’t locked down, governments across China are going out of their way to make it difficult to move around over the holidays this year. Authorities in Beijing, Guangdong, popular beach spot Hainan and other regions have all issued warnings to residents not to travel outside the province. Mapping service of Baidu Inc. said travel will drop “significantly” over the holiday and local and city tours are becoming more popular. Hotel prices in multiple cities including Jinan and Chengdu hit the lowest levels in five years, while prices of some luxury hotels in Beijing, Sanya and other cities are less than half what they were last year, according to data from Qunar, a major online travel agency. To travel to the central province of Henan this year, people will need to take a PCR test before arriving and then two tests in the first three days after entering the province, according to a recent Global Times report. In addition, their Covid tracing app will turn yellow, which means they won’t be able to enter shops, take taxis or enter many public spaces, and may need to stay at home or in a hotel for seven days, according to the report, which cited provincial transport authorities.

Oil heads for the longest run of monthly gains since early ‘18

il is poised to eke out a fifth monthly advance after another tumultuous period of trading that saw prices whipsawed by the fallout of Russia’s war in Ukraine and the resurgence of Covid-19 in China. West Texas Intermediate futures dipped to trade below $105 a barrel on Friday, but are up more than 4 percent in April. The war has entered its third month despite diplomatic efforts for a cease-fire, and the European Union appears to be making gradual progress toward a ban on Russia crude imports. China’s virus outbreak has added another source of volatility to the market. The nation has extended mass testing to more cities, with lockdowns leading to swelling oil stockpiles and putting the world’s biggest crude importer on track for the largest hit to demand since the early days of the pandemic. Oil has fluctuated around $100 a barrel throughout April and its fifth monthly

gain will be the longest winning streak since January 2018. The war has fanned inflation and led to the US and its allies this month agreeing to a coordinated release of strategic crude reserves to try and tame rising energy prices. The invasion has also significantly tightened the diesel market. Diesel futures in New York jumped as much as 2.1 percent on Thursday to the highest level in data going back to 1986 ahead of the contract expiration on Friday. It’s become the world’s most in-demand fuel as buyers compete for supplies from US Gulf Coast refiners, which have stepped up to plug the gap left by Russia. Brent remains narrowly backwardated after nearing a bearish contango structure on Tuesday. The global benchmark’s prompt timespread was 26 cents a barrel in backwardation—a bullish pattern— compared with as high as $5.88 in early March, just after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Yellen says more shocks likely to ‘challenge the economy’

ASHINGTON—Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Thursday the global pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine highlight the possibility of big economic shocks in the future, adding that downturns are “likely to continue to challenge the economy.” Her address at the Brookings Institution looked at lessons learned from economic downturns of the past and said countries need to build in “recession remedies” to protect people in the US and globally going forward. With “large negative shocks” inevitable, she said, policymakers have learned from the Great Recession that it’s imperative to exit economic downturns “as quickly as possible.” “Countries will fare better if their economies are more resilient and less fragile,” she said.

“Improved understanding of breaks in supply chains, increases in commodity prices, bursting of asset bubbles, and labor and productivity shocks can help policymakers implement reforms that bolster our economic resilience.” The past several years have been marked by a worldwide pandemic that prompted both the Trump and Biden administrations to issue trillions of dollars in federal stimulus aid, which economists say contributed to inflation levels at their highest points in four decades. And now the war in Ukraine

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen listens to a question during a news conference at the Treasury Department in Washington on Thursday, April 21, 2022. AP

has had major impacts on global energy and food prices, along with other commodities. The Conference Board’s consumer confidence index edged down slightly in April. Yellen called for more permanent housing safety assistance for renters and homeowners and applauded recent improvements to the unemployment insurance system and stimulus payments, stressing the importance of US “recovery policies that shorten the

duration of recessions and mitigate economic pain.” She promoted Biden administration efforts to reduce US reliance on fossil fuels and push for greater energy independence. “These shifts will mitigate our future vulnerability to oil price shocks,” she said. “At the same time, they will abet the transition to cleaner energy sources which will, in due course, lessen the risks tied to natural disasters and climate change.” AP

War in Ukraine brings commodity traders uncomfortable windfall

t’s an awkward but unavoidable truth: War in Ukraine is proving quite good for business for the world’s top commodities traders. Glencore Plc expects its fullyear trading profits will again exceed its targeted range following a bumper first-quarter performance, while crop giant Bunge Ltd. boosted its earnings estimates for the year by more than 20 percent after reporting its own stellar results. Since Russia’s February invasion of Ukraine, commodity markets have been thrown into disarray. That has boosted prices and cut off supply, creating a harrowing environment for consumers of raw materials but the perfect conditions for trading houses. Commodities traders, who transport the world ’s resources, have been able to profit from the volatility, arbitraging cargoes through the web of sanctions and supply disruptions to keep material flowing. “What we’ve always found is that in times of high volatility, high prices and high volume is when we have the opportunity to make the most money,” Bunge chief financial officer John Neppl said on a conference call following the release of the company’s booming first-quarter results. To be sure, that activity doesn’t

come without risks. The surge in volatility has put the balance sheets of commodity traders under huge strain, with massive daily price moves triggering billions of dollars in margin calls across the industry.

Grains shortage

Together, Russia and Ukraine are some of world’s top exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower oil. Disruptions of plantings in Ukraine and the challenges of paying for Russian grains have helped boost prices to multi-year highs. Before the war, U krainian ports along the Black Sea were gateways for much of the region’s grains to be loaded onto ships bound for Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. Now they’ve become part of the war, blockaded and shelled. As importing countries like Egypt, Algeria and China scramble for food products, those traders with positions outside the Black Sea such as Viterra and the socalled ABCD group of major crop merc h a nt s — A rc her - Da n ie l s Midland Co., Bunge, Cargill Inc. and Louis Dreyfus—have been able to offer buyers grains from alternate sources like France, the US and Brazil. As prices for crude oil have remained elevated, that’s taken cooking products such as palm oil

and soybean oil higher, benefiting crush margins for the traders. ADM has not yet raised its earnings estimate for the year, although some analysts already have. It did say this week it anticipates 2022 results will exceed those of last year, without going into specifics. Combined with a shortage of crops in South America, disruptions in the war-torn region will “drive continued tightness in global grain markets for the next few years,” ADM CEO Juan Luciano said in a conference call on Tuesday.

Whipsaw energy

In the world of energy, independent traders such as Vitol Holding BV, Trafigura Group, Gunvor Group Ltd. and Mercuria Energy Group Ltd. are all closely held and do not release quarterly results. Still, signs point to strong performance. For instance, shortages of diesel that have recently sent prices around the world surging were well flagged by some of the group. Some of the biggest trading units are nest led w ithin the wider business of energy majors, meaning more disclosure of performance. TotalEnergies SE saw first-quarter profits rise threefold as prices for oil and refining margins surged, while rival Shell

Plc has flagged that results for its gas-trading segment “are expected to be higher” than in the fourth quarter. “The rebound in energy prices seen since the second half of 2021 amplified after Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine,” TotalEnergies’ CEO Patrick Pouyanne said in a statement on Thursday, adding on a later earnings call that margins could further improve.

Metals dislocation

Me a n while , Glencore, t he world’s biggest commodities trader, said Thursday that its marketing division will record profits “comfortably” above the top end of its $2.2 billion to $3.2 billion guidance range this year. The company is active in energy and also agricultural products through its stake in Viterra. But it’s metals trading where it really dominates, holding positions anchored by an array of mining and smelting assets. Jefferies analyst Christopher LaFemina reiterated in a note on Thursday his buy rating for Glencore, calling it a “top pick” for UK mining companies. “Commodity market dislocations and supply shocks have created extraordinary arbitrage opportunities for Glencore’s marketing business,” he said.

‘March Madness’ atmosphere lifts Vegas economy from pandemic L

In this March 25, 2021, photo, people gamble while wearing masks as a precaution against the coronavirus at the opening night of the Mohegan Sun Casino at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas in Las Vegas. Nevada casinos reported near-record March 2022 house winnings, while the airport in Las Vegas reported passenger traffic almost as heavy as pre-pandemic levels and tourism officials marked another big jump in visitor volume. AP

AS VEGAS—Nevada casinos reported near-record March house winnings, while the airport in Las Vegas reported passenger traffic almost as heavy as prepandemic levels and tourism officials marked another big jump in visitor volume. The state Gaming Control Board reported Thursday the $1.35 billion that casinos statewide reaped was just shy of the best-ever monthly mark of $1.36 billion set last July. The state and Clark County set all-time records for house slot machine winnings, while the Las Vegas Strip recorded thirdhighest monthly slot winnings, board senior analyst Michael Lawton said. “A traditional ‘March Madness’ atmosphere returned,” Lawton said, after Covid-19 restrictions, including mask requirements were lifted in February. March featured a NASCAR race, a mixed martial arts bout and NCAA basketball events. Sports books won almost $40 million on total wagers of $863 million during the

month, Lawton added. The number of visitors to Las Vegas increased to more than 3.3 million in March, up almost 50 percent from 2.2 million in March 2021, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The authority noted the return of more trade shows and conventions, and said hotel occupancy at the more than 150,000 rooms in and around Las Vegas topped 80 percent. Harry Reid International Airport tallied nearly 4.3 million passengers in March, down only about 140,000 from its pre-pandemic total in March 2019—a year the airport tallied a record 51.5 million arriving and departing travelers. The airport’s 154,000 international travelers in March was up more than 50 percent from February, and flights from overseas are scheduled to ramp up in April with additional service to cities in Mexico, Canada, Panama, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
