RESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said New Clark City is now on its way to becoming the country’s next “growth area” for investments and tourism amid its ongoing infrastructure and transportation projects. In his speech after the inspection of the Airport to New Clark City Access Road (ANAR) in Pampanga on Wednesday, the chief executive stressed the importance of improving the facilities and public transportation in the metropolis in Tarlac

to make it more attractive to investors. He noted the P8.42-billion ANAR project is a step in that direction of making the New Clark City accessible, since it will reduce travel time from the urban area to the Clark International Airport (CRK) from one hour to just 20 minutes, without any toll, once completed. “This road is much more than just an access road. It is part of our plan to propel Clark as an alternate growth area,” Marcos said. “It is a red carpet rolled out to those who will partake in all the best things that Clark can offer,” he added.

Marcos ordered the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) to finish the remaining works of the almost 20-kilometer ANAR. As of February 14, the access road is 95.21 percent complete. Currently, Clark already hosts innovation labs, creative workshops, manufacturing concerns, leisure complexes, and a cyber corridor.

Valuable contribution

BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer (PCEO) Joshua M. Bingcang said he is optimistic Clark can draw more investments due to the ongoing development

projects in the area including the ANAR, CRK expansion plan, inclusion in the railway project connecting Subic to Batangas, and its relocation of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) housing facilities. He noted that the area in Clark Freeport Zone, to be vacated by the PAF housing units, will be converted into the Clark Central Business District, which is expected to generate 170,000 jobs. Marcos vowed the national government will continue to help in “building world class infrastructure that can host a business in a high-growth area”

REPORT: OVER 80-M PINOYS Recto to IFIs: Move faster ONLINE, USING SOCIAL MEDIA to help blunt headwinds

VER 80 million Filipinos are now online and using social media at the start of 2024, according to the latest Meltwater and We Are Social Global Overview Report. The data showed there were 86.98 million internet users in the Philippines in 2024, some 1.8 million more compared to the 85.16 million estimate in January 2023. Also, 86.75 million Filipinos using various social media—2.3 million higher than the 84.45 million posted in the same period last year. “Overall digital growth has slowed over recent years, but this is to be expected as internet users reach ‘supermajority’ status,” Da-

taReportal Chief Analyst Simon Kemp said in the report. “However, while almost twothirds of the world’s total population is now online, 2.7 billion people remain ‘unconnected’ at the start of 2024, and adoption rates across Sub-Saharan Africa remain well below 50 percent,” he also said. The report said the Philippines is ranked first in consumption of online video each week, with 97.2 percent of internet users aged 16 to 64 doing so, ahead of the global benchmark of 92 percent.

INANCE Secretary Ralph G. Recto on Wednesday called on international financial institutions to “redouble their efforts” in helping developing countries mitigate economic headwinds. Recto urged international financial institutions such as the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the World Bank (WB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to counter the factors that threaten growth prospects. Recto said this at the two-day Group of Twenty-Four (G-24) Technical Group Meeting in

Manila. This year’s meeting will focus on discussions on strategies for addressing the ongoing economic challenges, such as climate financing, changes in the global trade regime, resource mobilization and sovereign debt resolution, among others. “We need bold and innovative solutions to help developing economies sustain productivity, boost long-term growth prospects, and increase resilience to economic shocks,” said Recto, who also chairs the Intergovernmental G-24 Board of Governors.

The Philippines continues to be the top country in vlog consumption, with 50.7 percent of internet users watching vlogs or influencers each week, significantly more than the global average of 23.8 percent. As a result, the data also showed Filipinos spent an average of 3 hours and 34 minutes on social media every day. This translates to nearly two months on social media platforms. The report said this is well above the global average of 2 hours and 23 minutes. This translates to just over a month on social media platforms.

Comelec declares failed bid for OVCS in 2025 elections

B S P. M

@sam_medenilla

REPARATIONS of the Commission on Elections have hit a snag after it declared a failed bid for the Online Voting and Counting System (OVCS) to be used for the 2025 polls. However, the poll body was able to make progress on its attempt to secure the service provider for its Full Automation System with Transparency Audit/Count (FASTrAC) requirements. On Wednesday, the Comelec Special Bids and Awards Committee-Automated Election System (SBAC-AES) declared ineligible the two firms—Indra Soluciones Technologias and We Are I.T. Philippines Inc.—which made bids for the P465.8-million OVCS contract. The SBAC-AES said Indra did not meet all the requirements

under the implementing rules of Republic Act No. 9814 due to an unsigned certificate of Net Financial Contracting Capacity (NFCC); inconsistency on the indicated assets and liabilities reflected on its NFCC and submitted PhilGEPS Certificate of Registration (Platinum Membership). It also failed to submit the credentials of its third-party certifiers and a demo unit version of the solution it offered in a CD or USB Flash Drive; its incomplete change management plan and standards of audits was also cited.

Recession...

[Let’s rush work on the] new airport in order to entice investors to come to the Philippines,” Oplas said. One reason for considering the Philippines is the level of wages in Japan and the United Kingdom. In a crisis year, this may be enough reason for businesses to consider operating elsewhere. “We should anticipate investors going to the Philippines because the minimum wage rate in UK and

help turn the tide in getting these investments into the country by being more proactive in enticing investors. “Now is the time to put Build, Build, Build to a test. Is it really serving its purpose? Bilisan na ang

The deficiencies of We Are, said Comelec, are: non-compliant Statements of Single Largest Completed Contract; failure to submit proof that it legally owns the internet/ online voting system; failure to submit the needed brochure and technical data; and incomplete statements of all on-going contracts. Comelec spokesperson John Rex C. Laudiangco said they are targeting to conduct another bidding for the OVCS next month after they complete the review of the issues raised by their end user. “We will set a prebid conference immediately after that [review]. Within the reglementary period, we will hold a bidding. So we can expect that by mid March,” Laudiangco told reporters in an interview.

SBAC recommendation

AS for the P18.83-billion Full Automation System with Transparency Audit/Count (FASTrAC) contract, Comelec said it will decide Japan is very high,” Oplas said. Public Private Partnership (PPP) Center Undersecretary and Executive Director Ma. Cynthia C. Hernandez also said these investors can choose to undertake PPPs in the Philippines where there is practically no demand risk. Hernandez said all infrastructure projects enjoy high demand, noting how the Skyway now experiences traffic from high user rates, despite charging toll. She added that the country’s airport only has a 30-million passenger capacity annually, but this is significantly lower than the demand. Hernandez also said an airport with a capacity of 60 million passengers may still be insufficient. This, Hernandez said, is also the argument to support the PPP Center’s belief that having the Bulacan Airport, Ninoy Aquino International Airport, and Clark co-exist will help decongest airports in the greater capital region area. “If you’re in recession in Japan, where will you invest? We’re taking advantage of that. Yeah, we have to take advantage of that. Because if, let’s say, their investment in Japan is facing some growth constraints, we always say, here in the Philippines, you barely have demand risk. Once you put up a project, there’s blockbuster demand, right?” Hernandez said. Hernandez said the government is ready to facilitate these investments as the PPP Center already has a Memorandum of Understanding with the Japanese government through its Office for PPP Support. She said this MOU intends to encourage Japanese firms to invest directly in PPP projects. This investment does not mean as consultants and contractors for projects, which is common in Official Development Assistance (ODA) projects. “We also want the Japanese corporates, especially the smaller ones, to invest. Because actually, there are many small Japanese companies that are small in Japan. But if you ask them, how big is the project they can invest in, they’ll say, ¥2 billion. That’s like P1 billion—big for the Philippines, right? So, I think that’s a market that we can definitely tap,” she added.

Limited fallout

MEANWHILE, Asian Development Bank Economic Research and Development Impact Department Principal Economist John Beirne said while Japan and the UK dipped into technical recessions in the last quarter of 2023, the fallout for Asia is likely to be limited. Still, Beirne thinks that Japan’s significant investment in

whether or not it will award it to Miru Systems this week. This, after the South Korean firm conducted its end-to-end demonstration of its systems on Wednesday. Comelec Chairman George M. Garcia said the Comelec en banc is reviewing the recommendations of its SBAC related to the qualification of Miru. “To be more direct, you will know within the week if we will award to the lone bidder [the contract] based on the evaluation and other issues,” Garcia said in a press conference. He said if the Comelec en banc decides to award the contract to Miru, they will initiate contract negotiations; if not, they will hold contract bidding instead. Comelec is targeting to lease 110,000 vote-counting machines for the 2025 polls. Miru is offering to lease its units for P149,000 each, which is lower compared to the P155,000 per unit budget set by Comelec. the region and as a destination for exports should be monitored. A deeper recession could affect Asian countries such as the Philippines through financial and trade channels. “Overall, however, the magnitude of any negative impacts for Asia should be viewed in the context of resilient growth in the US, which is a more important export destination for Asia than Japan,” Beirne told BM in an e-mail. He noted that spillovers from the Japan and United Kingdom recessions may still be muted and that Asian countries would still prove resilient to this shock. Efforts to diversify trade and cross-border investment networks will help Asian countries from succumbing to trade and financial crisis stemming from these economic fallouts in Japan and the United Kingdom. But if the government does not take advantage of these opportunities, the crisis could significantly effect the economy through its trade performance and the fate of thousands of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Japan and the United Kingdom.

Impact on PHL trade

ATENEO de Manila University economist Leonardo Lanzona Jr. told BM that as one of the country’s top export markets, Japan’s recession could affect the country’s trade performance. A recession in markets such as Japan and the United States can affect the country’s trade sector as they remain the country’s leading partners in exports and imports. “A recession in both countries can affect our output only to a limited extent. The reason is that China, which is also facing a slowdown has become our dominant partner,” Lanzona, however, said. Nonetheless, Oplas said thousands of OFWs may also be affected and some might be forced to come home. This means the country will receive less OFW remittances which usually help buoy domestic spending in the country. Consumption spending accounts for about 70 percent of the Philippine economy. Remittances sent to OFW families are used to spend on education and basic needs of households, contributing to economic growth. Oplas said if this—OFWs returning—happens, the government should be ready to help OFWs with creating their own businesses as a means to reintegrate into Philippine society. OFWs can start small through franchising which can help ease them into the rigors of running their own business. This will also help conserve their funds from their years working abroad.

be felt after it severely affected the global economy by slowing its growth momentum and leaving low-income countries with limited fiscal resources and debt burdens. Global growth is expected to decline to 2.4 percent in 2024 for the third year in a row, lower than the prepandemic average of 3.1 percent, according to the World Bank’s Global Economic Prospects. “Economies find themselves in a post-Covid landscape with little to no fiscal buffer amid tighter credit conditions and higher costs of borrowing,” Recto emphasized. Global trade is also affected by geopolitical tensions which resulted in an increased imbalanced trade deficits and a rising inflationary environment, the Finance chief added. Recto also prodded member states to “reclaim their lost momentum” in the race to 2030 through heightened cooperation and scaled-up support from international financial institutions to overcome global challenges. “We must keep in mind that 2030 marks a universal deadline for all nations to make substantial progress in eradicating poverty, ending hunger, and protecting the environment,” Recto added. The goal of the meeting, Recto said, is to improve the fiscal and monetary toolkits to ensure financial stability despite global uncertainties. Recto urged G-24 members and international partners to center their discussions on creating fiscal frameworks that promote fiscal consolidation, widen trade and financial flows, and cultivate a more favorable investment environment for the private sector. Per-capita investment growth in 2023 and 2024 is projected to average 3.7 percent, half of the average seen in the preceding two decades, according to the World Bank. Every developing nation should achieve at least 4 percent percapita investment growth for six consecutive years to have a chance at regaining lost momentum, it suggested. “We must develop strategies to efficiently mobilize fiscal resources and prevent leakages as much as we can, not only to manage debt but to provide protection to our people in these difficult times,” Recto said. The G-24 was formed in 1971 and helps coordinate the positions of developing countries on international monetary and development finance issues. It also ensures that their interests are adequately represented in negotiations on international monetary matters. Apart from the Philippines, the G-24 members are Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Iran, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Syria, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela.

such as Clark. He also lauded the BCDA for its successful initiatives of repurposing former military bases into economic and commercial areas such as the Bonifacio Global City, McKinley Hill, Newport City, and the New Clark City to finance the modernization of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). “The BCDA has contributed 59.71 billion pesos for the equipment, weaponry, vehicles, vessels, and structures used by our armed forces,” Marcos said. “So, indeed, the BCDA has a major role to play in the Bagong Pilipinas [New Philippines] vision that all Filipinos are working hard to achieve,” he added.

57 House members sign manifesto against Mindanao ‘independence’ By Jovee Marie N. Dela Cruz @joveemarie

total of 57 House members, 53 of whom are from Mindanao, signed a manifesto rejecting former president Rodrigo R. Duterte’s proposal for an independent Mindanao. The lawmakers emphasized national unity, rejection of secession, and commend President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s efforts for Mindanao development. They also stressed the importance of upholding the Constitution and called for legal action against those fostering disunity, even as they expressed commitment to a united, equitable, and thriving Philippines. “We signed the manifesto as one voice, one nation, rejecting all calls for the secession of Mindanao. We will not be a party to an unconstitutional proposal to break the territorial integrity of the Philippines. We make our intentions known as Mindanao lawmakers,” said Lanao del Norte Rep. Mohamad Khalid Dimaporo, one of the signatories and also the chairman of the House Committee on Muslim Affairs. Duterte and Davao del Norte Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez called for an independent Mindanao, which has drawn so much criticism and flak from so many sectors in the Philippines. “We, the elected representatives of Mindanao in the House of Representatives, firmly oppose the calls for the secession of Mindanao from the Republic of the Philippines. Our stance is deeply rooted in our belief in national unity, the power of inclusive development, and the promise of a peaceful, progressive future for all Filipinos, including the indigenous people of Mindanao,” the manifesto read. “Mindanao’s vibrant cultural diversity represents the nation’s

broader principle of unity in diversity. We stand for fostering understanding and collaboration across all communities within the framework of the Republic, enriching our shared national identity and heritage,” it added. The lawmakers acknowledged the critical role of Mindanao in the national economy, with an appreciation of the “significant steps taken by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., to prioritize development in our region.” “His administration’s focus on enhancing infrastructure, agricultural revitalization, and economic empowerment in Mindanao is pivotal. These efforts aim to ensure that progress reaches every corner of Mindanao, contributing to the nation’s overall growth and stability,” the manifesto read. “Our pursuit of peace and security is aligned with the government’s commitment to reconciliation and the empowerment of the BARMM. We believe that lasting peace is achieved through dialogue, mutual respect, and inclusive governance, under the banner of our sovereign nation,” it added. They said that the challenges facing Mindanao and the entire country demand collective action and shared responsibility. “We commend the Marcos administration’s dedication to addressing disparities and fostering a more inclusive development model. These initiatives reinforce our conviction that the aspirations of Mindanaoans for autonomy, recognition, and development can be realized more effectively within the context of a united and sovereign Philippines,” they added in the manifesto. The members of the House of Representatives also expressed u nw av e r i n g com m it me nt to the impor tance of upholding the Constitution and the r u le of law.

OPAPRU does not condone corruption in MILF decommissioning–Galvez

ffice of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity (OPAPRU) Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. said the agency does not condone any anomaly in the implementation of the decommissioning process for former combatants of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). He made this comment after three former MILF combatants aired their complaints during a hearing called by the Senate Committee on National Defense and Security, Peace Unification and Reconciliation chaired by Senator Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada last February 20. In the hearing, these individuals claimed that their command-

ers get around 50 percent of the P100,000 assistance given to them by the government. “This government shall not tolerate any act of corruption or irregular transactions, more so those that undermines the well being of our MILF brothers and sisters. Rest assured that this isolated incident will be thoroughly investigated, and will be brought to the attention of the MILF leadership,” Galvez said. Estrada and Galvez also advised the complainants to submit an affidavit to the Senate to formalize their allegations and state their specific claims, which will serve as basis for the conduct of a formal investigation into the matter.

SPD denies viral prison break report

he Southern Police District (SPD) on Wednesday denied reports that three inmates facing various criminal charges have escaped from one of its detention facilities. These reports were reportedly being spread via text messages and audio recordings and warning residents of Guadalupe, Makati and Enlisted Men’s Barrios (EMBOs) in Taguig to be on their guard for these escapees. SPD has jurisdiction over the cities of Makati, Pasay, Taguig, Parañaque, Las Piñas and Muntinlupa and the municipality of Pateros. Based on the text messages, the three escapees were reportedly facing rape, homicide and murder charges.

“ T he actions taken by our intelligence operatives include checks with the SOCO [Scene of the Crime Operatives] Team Makati, Guadalupe Nuevo Sub Station, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology Makati City, and La Paz Custodial Facility. All reports indicate that there have been no incidents of a prison break, and all detainees are accounted for,” SPD noted. It also urged the public to remain vigilant and rely only on verified information coming from official sources. “Rest assured, our officers are actively monitoring the situation, and any updates or developments will be communicated promptly,” SPD said.

NSA: Joint PHL-US air patrol meant to enhance maritime security in WPS By Rex Anthony Naval

ational Security Adviser (NSA) Eduardo M. Año said the February 19 joint air patrol by Filipino and American aircraft in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) was aimed at promoting maritime security and not meant to stir trouble as claimed earlier by China. “The Philippines rejects China’s assertion that joint patrols with US forces in the WPS constitute stirring up trouble. Our engagements with the United States are well within our rights as a sovereign and independent nation, aimed at promoting maritime security and upholding international law,” he stressed. The NSA also said the Philippines rejects any assertion made by other countries that undermine its legal and legitimate activities. He emphasized that the joint air patrol between the Philippine A ir Force (PAF) and the US Pacific A ir Force is a lawful and routine exercise aimed at

enhancing interoperability between allied forces and promoting regional peace and security in the Indo-Pacific Region. The combined air patrol covered “areas 90 nautical miles west of Candon, Ilocos Sur and 50 nautical miles northwest of Lubang, [Occidental] Mindoro.” It consisted of three PAF FA50 light jet fighters and one US Pacific Air Force B-52 strategic jet bomber. “ The joint patrols conducted inside Philippine territory serve the purpose of enhancing maritime security, promoting regional stability, and upholding international law. These patrols help deter illegal activities, ensure freedom of navigation, and contribute to the protection of shared interests in the region,” he added. Año also pointed out that international law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), recognizes the sovereign rights of coastal states.

“We urge China to respect the sovereign rights of the Philippines conducted within its territory consistent with its national interests and international law,” he added. Año also said that adhering to established legal frameworks is crucial for fostering peaceful relations, stability, and cooperation between the Philippines and China. “Adherence to international norms is essential to the peaceful coexistence of neighboring states. Respecting and following international law is essential for maintaining peace, resolving disputes, and advancing our shared interests in the region,” he concluded.

Nothing illegal

In a related development, a PAF statement stressed that the Philippines did not violate any laws when its military aircraft conducted a “combined air patrol” with its American counterparts over WPS last February 19. In a statement late Tuesday, Philippine Air Force (PAF) spokesperson

Col. Ma. Consuelo Castillo said the exercise took place well within the country’s territory. “We were operating within our territory and within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone [EEZ],” she added. Castillo said the combined air patrol is part of the third iteration of the Maritime Cooperative Activity (MCA) between the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and US Indo-Pacific Command that took place last February 9. “As pronounced by HQS [Headquarters] AFP, the MCA is in no way directed towards any country and the activity is in accordance with the international rules based order,” she added. It consisted of three PAF FA50 light jet fighters and one US Pacific Air Force B-52 strategic jet bomber. Castillo also said the air patrol is part of the PAF’s “commitment to enhance operational jointness and interoperability” with its allies, while promoting regional security and stability.

Philippines launches campaign to make Clark a major aviation, aerospace hub By Ma. Stella F. Arnaldo @akosistellaBM

Special to the BusinessMirror

HE Philippines is making a bid for Clark International Airport (CRK) to be a major aerospace and aviation hub at the Singapore Air Show, which is ongoing until Sunday, February 25. In a news statement, Berthaphil Inc., a key stakeholder and pioneer investor and developer in the Clark Freeport and at CRK, said the Philippines is particularly targeting maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) firms, aerospace manufacturers, fixed-based operators, business aviation companies, original equipment makers, cargo airlines, logistics companies, regional and international airlines, training organizations, among others. Supporting the bid are the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), and Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC), which are all exhibiting at the Philippine Aviation Pavilion during the air show. Investors in the Clark Freeport are entitled to incentives, such as a seven-year tax holiday and a 5-percent corporate income tax rate. For one, Bertaphil is actively promoting to global aerospace companies a vacant 10-hectare airfield site in Clark, with primary runway access, which is immediately available "as is“ or for a build-to-suit project. It has 12 real estate projects in the Freeport, which includes the airport’s first bonded warehouse and logistics center.

Bautista (sixth from left) leads Philippine government officials and representatives of private firms in formally opening the Philippine Aviation Pavilion at the Singapore Airshow on February 20.

Skilled Filipino workforce

“Besides world-class airport infrastructure, a strategic location within Asia’s burgeoning aviation market and a favorable business environment, another key strength of Clark International Airport as an aerospace center, is the Philippines’ skilled and qualified workforce,” said Berthaphil Inc. chairman Michael Herman. He added, “Building a hangar, for example, doesn’t’t mean you have a MRO business. The key to having a successful MRO organization is having the skilled and qualified maintenance engineers and technicians, which is what the Philippines has.” MRO organizations that have already established operations at Clark include SIA Engineering, which does airframe maintenance,

along with Hong Kong’s MetroJet, which maintains business jets. Global courier services, such as UPS, DHL, and FedEx also uses Clark as a hub for their business. CRK is an international gateway to Asia and capable of handling the largest wide body aircraft.

Challenges to global aviation growth

Meanwhile, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) sees a 3.3-percent growth per annum in the next 20 years for the aviation industry. Speaking at the Changi Aviation Summit on February 19, IATA Director General Willie Walsh acknowledged, “That is significantly lower than the growth we witnessed during 2010

DOJ chief vows to go after culprits behind alleged cyanide fishing in Bajo de Masinloc By Joel R. San Juan @jrsanjuan1573

HE Department of Justice (DOJ) vowed Wednesday to look into the reported cyanide fishing of Chinese and Vietnamese fishermen in Bajo de Masinloc (Scarborough Shoal). In a statement, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said the DOJ would coordinate and support other concerned government agencies in gathering evidence and building a strong legal case against those behind the destructive practice. “Under the leadership of President Marcos Jr., the Philippines will not tolerate any actions that harm our environment or deprive Filipino people of their right to its use and beauty,” Remulla said.

He added that the DOJ has started exploring possible legal remedies and the gathering of evidence through collaboration with Philippine marine scientists in order to quantif y the env ironmenta l and economic damage inf licted on the countr y’s coral ecosystem by said illegal activities. Remulla also said the DOJ has also sought the advice of international law experts to explore legal strategies and forums. “The impact on these coral reefs is devastating. These ecosystems are vital not only for marine biodiversity but also for the livelihoods of Filipino fisherfolk. We are committed to ensuring proper accountability for such acts,” Remulla said. For his part, Solicitor General

Menardo Guevarra said the recent report on the use of cyanide off Scarborough Shoal “serious as it is, needs a careful factual verification.” He added that the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) has been studying legal options on the West Philippine Sea on its own. “But when the time is ripe, the OSG will collaborate with other relevant agencies, including the DFA, the DOJ, the NSC [National Security Council], and other key members of the National Task Force on the WPS,” Guevarra said. “Any legal action must be supported by strong, solid, and competent ev idence that can withstand the scrutiny of any international tribunal that is why all government agencies must

to 2019. But I think it does reflect some of the challenges that we as an industry are facing and will face going into the future.” He cited infrastructure constraints both in the air and on the ground, as well as sustainability commitments, as among the challenges. “Supply chain issues which have now been a feature of the industry for a number of years and are likely to continue for a few more years. The delay and delivery of new aircraft, the problems in relation to engines, labor shortages in some parts of the world, and significantly the cost impact of our transition to net zero in 2050,” he added. But Walsh pointed out that Asia “is likely to lead the markets with growth around 4.5 percent per annum,” until 2044.

Domestic travel pushes 2023 recovery

In 2023, the industry recovered “over 94 percent” of the global traffic of 2019, led by strong domestic markets, which hit over 4 percent of 2019 levels. However, international traffic continued to lag with just over 88 percent of pre-pandemic levels. Asia is playing catch up, with 86 percent of the region’s 2019 levels. “The strong performance in domestic markets over 2 percent ahead, but international travel in the region still lagged behind at about 73 percent of 2019. It is important to point out that there was a strong recovery as we went through the year, moving from about 57 percent in January to almost 83 percent in December.” work together and support each other to achieve the common goal of protecting the country’s sovereign rights in the WPS,” he added. It can be recalled that in September 2023, Remulla said he would recommend to Malacañang the filing of cases against China for the destruction of coral reefs and harvesting of corals in the WPS. Remulla noted that sufficient evidence have been gathered over the years to support the filing of a case against China. “It’s a very ripe case for adjudication. I think we can go on and tap the best legal experts in the country to help us. We have access to the best environmental lawyers. We will pursue these cases against China because we have a lot of evidence,” Remulla pointed out. The destruction of the marine environments within the country’s exclusive economic zones is being blamed on Chinese maritime militia vessels.

DOE launches B2B matching event to attract foreign investors in RE By Lenie Lectura @llectura

N a bid to lure in more investors, the Department of Energy (DOE) will conduct a business-tobusiness (B2B) matching event today, Thursday, to assist foreign investors in finding local partners to support the country’s energy transition program.

DOE Secretary Raphael Lotilla said the event would guide potential investors and developers in doing business in the country. “There is a heightened enthusiasm from international investors for unlocking the country’s renewable energy (RE) potential, and we are linking them with financing institutions, development organizations, concerned government institutions, and engineering, procurements, and construction (EPC) companies for potential partnerships and access to financing,” Lotilla said. The Philippines has abundant potential indigenous RE sources. As of January 2024, the

Biz chamber, SEIPI cite investment backlash of legislated wage increase By Andrea E. San Juan @andreasanjuan

A N U FAC T U R ER S of electronics and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) warned the government that a legislated wage hike might drive away foreign investors and make the Philippines more unattractive as an investment destination. Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the Philippines Foundation, Inc. (SEIPI) President Danilo C. Lachica said the industry prefers not to have the wage hike, as this would reduce the sector’s competitiveness. “We prefer not to have the increase because the sector’s competitiveness will be hurt by the 20 percent increase in operating costs,” Lachica told the BusinessMirror in a Viber message Tuesday. In fact, the head of the organization of foreign and Filipino electronics firms in the country, “We are already losing business and employment to Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia.”

Data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) showed that electronics exports amounted to $41.90 billion in 2023, down 9.2 percent from the $46.15 billion exports earnings in 2022. Based on 2023 data, however, electronics exports still occupy the largest chunk in the Philippine exports pie as it accounted for 56 percent of the exports receipts in 2023, which was $73.52 billion. On Monday, the Senate, voting 20-0-0, approved on third and final reading a bill mandating a P100 daily pay increase for minimum wage earners in the private sector, amid last-minute appeals by major business groups to hold it. (Full story here: https://businessmirror.com.ph/2024/02/20/ ignoring-business-groups-senate-approves-wage-hike/) Meanwhile, in a statement issued on Wednesday, PCCI President Enunina V. Mangio emphasized that the P100 minimum wage hike move by the Senate would “shun away” foreign investors from doing business in the Philippines. “No one would ever try to look at

the Philippines once they see that legislators can enact wage hikes anytime even disregarding the authority of the National Wage Board,” she added. The major business group in the country also noted that the Congress should let the National Wages and Productivity Commission and Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards decide on wage hikes rather than legislate a bill that “would only benefit a few and disenfranchise other members of the labor force.” The PCCI chief said that the proposed P100 legislated wage increase co-authored by Senators Jinggoy Estrada and Senate President Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri, now on the third and final reading, will only benefit five million workers versus 47 million others that are in the informal sector. Further, the business group said that its local chambers shared their strong opposition to the proposed P100 legislated wage hike, while backing the recommendations of the joint business groups led by PCCI.

DOE has awarded 1,267 projects with RE service contracts with a total potential capacity of around 129,000 megawatts covering various technologies. Their full development would benefit from partnerships among various private businesses. “To meet our energy transition goal, we are utilizing this platform where participants can Identify potential business partners, investors, expertise, technologies or business strengths,” Lotilla said. In the 2023-2050 Philippine Energy Plan, the DOE targets 35 percent RE share in power gen-

In its statement, PCCI South Luzon said, “The proposed legislation directly infringes upon the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) mandate to regulate wage adjustments regionally based on economic conditions.” The local chamber said, “Centralizing wage determination undermines the board’s ability to tailor wage policies to regional economic realities,” hence risking “economic imbalances.” Last Tuesday, the Philippine retail sector called on the Congress to veto the said bill. “[Philippine Retailers Association] PRA is against any legislated and across-the-board wage increases. We hope the House does not support it …and for Congress to veto the bill. All economic managers are against it too,” PRA President Roberto S. Claudio Sr. told the BusinessMirror on Tuesday. C l aud io e mph a si z e d t h at the wage boards should determine the “acceptable amount” in wage increase. (Full story here: https:// businessmirror.com. ph/2024/02/20/groups-wageboards-should-decide-hikes/) Through the lens of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Secretary Alfredo E. Pascual said, “We are studying the impact on our end. I have not received the report yet of our analysts.”

Atienza reminds NGAs, LGUs to keep DENR geohazard maps handy in disaster mitigation

ORMER Deputy Speaker and BUHAY par t y-list Rep. Lito Atienza on We d n e s d ay c a l l e d o n re l e va nt n at i o n a l g ove r n m e nt a g e n c i e s a n d local government units (LGU) to utilize the geohazard maps crafted by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to mitigate the risk of catastrophic events like the recent landslide in Davao de Oro province that

claimed the lives of 98 individuals. “We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life in the landslide at the Apex mining site in Davao de Oro. Events like this could have been prevented if concerned government agencies had been properly implementing the geohazard maps that the DENR has developed and distributed to identify the landslide and flood-prone areas across the country. When we were

Environment Secretary in 2007, we pushed for the preparation and speedy completion of these geohazard maps, precisely to ensure that these identified danger areas would be off-limits to residents and the general public,” Atienza said in a statement Wednesday. From 2007 until he left in December 2009, Atienza had instructed the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) to fast track and immediately identify high-risk areas that are susceptible to natural occurrences, such as earthquakes, flash floods, and landslides. “We know that even after our term, this vital program was completed, and eventually distributed to local government units

and other government agencies for land use planning, relocation, disaster mitigation, and relief operations. All they have to do is follow these geohazard maps, which we know could temper the impact of natural calamities and save countless lives,” Atienza said. “Being a tropical country that is regularly visited by typhoons and other weather disturbances, these geohazard maps are an essential life saving tool that every government agency and local government unit should have and utilize,” he added.

eration by 2030 and 50 percent by 2040. This is expected to progress towards a clean energy scenario with increasing RE share coupled with the development of offshore wind energy together with the expansion of the necessary port infrastructure for offshore wind, development of the smart and green grid plan, voluntary retirement or re-purposing of coal plants, implementation of energy efficiency and conservation measures and the use of electric vehicles. “Our main objective for this event is to assist investors, listen and understand the challenges in implementing RE projects, and

facilitate addressing their concerns,” added Lotilla. The government has taken strategies and milestones crucial to the country’s green energy future. These efforts have been recognized in the 2023 BloombergNEF’s Climatescope Report, which ranks the Philippines fourth globally after India, China, and Chile as one of the most attractive emerging markets for RE investments. In particular, the Philippines stands out as one of the few economies that have implemented auctions, feed-in-tariffs, net metering schemes, tax incentives, and a strong target for RE.

Rep. Villafuerte to keep tight watch on DOTr’s implementation of regional airport projects

SENIOR lawmaker is looking forward to the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) execution of a P14-billion initiative to revitalize and modernize regional airports nationwide. “We in CamSur are hoping that with the DOTr’s allocation of P14 billion for the improvement or modernization of regional airports across the country, the long delayed expansion of the Naga Airport’s runway—so it can accommodate wide body jets like the Airbus A300 that are good for international flights—will finally see the light of day under the Marcos administration,” Camarines Sur Rep. LRay Villafuerte, also president of the National Unity Party (NUP), said. Villafuerte, who has long pushed the runway’s expansion from Naga to the neighboring provincial capital of Pili, recalled that this airport project was already approved by the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) during the presidency of the late President Benigno Aquino III, and then identified as a flagship project of the succeeding Duterte government, “but this infrastructure modernization plan unfortunately remained on the drawing board in both administrations.” “However, with the recent announcement by Secretar y (Ja i me) B aut i st a t h at t he DOTr has set aside P14 billion for the modernization of our regional airports, we are hoping the expansion of the Naga A ir port runway to Pili will f i Baut ist a a nnou nced t h is P14-billion airport improvement plan during the DOTr’s Aviation and A ir ports Town Hall Meeting in General Santos City on Februar y 5 on the occasion of the department’s 125th founding anniversar y. Bautista announced that this budget is for the improvement of airports nationwide, several of which are to be developed via the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) program with financial support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the International Finance Cor p. (IFC) of the World Bank. Villafuerte backed the rehabilitation and modernization of the Naga Airport along with other gateways all over the country, as the improve-

ment of air connectivity and mobility will support the Marcos government’s drive to boost the post-pandemic recovery of Philippine tourism. “Because the landing field of Naga Airport is short, it could not accommodate jets like the A irbus A 300, and there is always the danger that the smaller planes using this gateway could overshoot the runway,” he said. “Thus the need for the expansion of the Naga Airport up to Pili to ensure safer plane landings, increase passenger traffic and boost local tourism, given that a much longer landing field would enable the airport to accommodate bigger commercial aircraft or jets,” added Villafuerte, who had served as a three-term governor of the province. Villafuerte noted that although the expropriation process for the lands to be affected by the longer runway was already started by the CamSur provincial government during the then-Aquino III administration, this eventually hit a snag as a result of the drawnout ex propriation proceedings, which are still pending in court because of the opposition from would-be affected landowners. He bewailed that the court case remains pending in court because the DOTr during the previous Duterte administration failed to accelerate the resolution of the legal proceedings, given that then-Transportation Secretar y Arthur Tugade did nothing to prod the Office of the Solicitor-General (SolGen) to represent the government on this case on behalf of the DOTr. Villafuerte, who is CA majority leader, also reminded Bautista about the other delayed f lagship project in Bicol of the DOTr, and this is the rollout of the Philippine National Railways-South Long Hau l R a i lway (PNR- SLHR) project. With the withdrawal of the proposed Chinese funding for this PNR-SLHR project, or “Bicol Express,” Villafuerte hoped the DOTr and the Department of Finance (DOF) could also fast-track negotiations for alternative financing for this rail venture—whether through official development assistance (ODA), PPP, or a combination of both.

Famine risk increases as UN agency says food deliveries into Gaza halted By Wafaa Shurafa & Samy Magdy The Associated Press

AFAH, Gaza Strip—The World Food Program said Tuesday it has paused deliveries of food to isolated northern Gaza because of increasing chaos across the territory, hiking fears of potential starvation. A study by the UN children’s agency warned that one in six children in the north are acutely malnourished. Entry of aid trucks into the besieged territory has been more than halved in the past two weeks, according to UN figures. Overwhelmed UN and relief workers said intake of trucks and distribution have been crippled by Israeli failure to ensure convoys’ safety amid its bombardment and ground offensive and by a breakdown in security, with hungry Palestinians frequently overwhelming trucks to take food. The weakening of the aid operation threatens to deepen misery across the territory, where Israel’s air and ground offensive, launched in response to Hamas’ October 7 attack, has killed over 29,000 Palestinians, obliterated entire neighborhoods and displaced more than 80 percent of the population of 2.3 million. Heavy fighting and airstrikes have flared in the past two days in areas of northern Gaza that the Israeli military said had been largely cleared of Hamas weeks ago. The military on Tuesday ordered the evacuation of two neighborhoods on Gaza City’s southern edge, an indication that militants are still putting up stiff resistance. The north, including Gaza City, has been isolated since Israeli troops first moved into it in late October. Large swaths of the city have been reduced to rubble, but several hundred thousand Palestinians remain largely cut off from aid. They describe famine-like conditions, in which families limit themselves to one meal a day and often resort to mixing animal and bird fodder with grains to bake bread. “The situation is beyond your imagination,” said Soad Abu Hussein, a widow and mother of five children sheltering in a school in Jabaliya refugee camp. Ayman Abu Awad, who lives in Zaytoun, said he eats one meal a day to save whatever he can for his four children. “People have eaten whatever they find, including animal feed and rotten bread,” he said.

Slide into hunger THE World Food Program said it was forced to pause aid to the north because of “complete chaos and violence due to the collapse of civil order.” It said it had first suspended deliveries to the north three weeks ago after a strike hit an aid truck. It tried resuming this week, but convoys on Sunday and Monday faced gunfire and crowds of hungry people stripping goods and beating one driver. WFP said it was working to resume deliveries as soon as possible. It called for the opening of crossing points for aid directly into northern Gaza from Israel and a better notification system to coordinate with the Israeli military. It warned of a “precipitous slide into hunger and disease,” saying, “People are already dying from hunger-related causes.” UNICEF official Ted Chaiban said in a statement that Gaza “is poised to witness an explosion in preventable child deaths, which would compound the already unbearable level of child deaths in Gaza.” The report released Monday by the Global Nutrition Cluster, an aid partnership led by UNICEF, found that in 95 percent of Gaza’s households, adults were restricting their own food to ensure small children can eat, while 65 percent of families eat only one meal a day. More than 90 percent of children younger than 5 in Gaza eat two or fewer food groups a day, known as severe food poverty, the report said. Infectious diseases affect a similar percentage, with 70 percent experiencing diarrhea in the last two weeks. More than 80 percent of homes lack clean and safe water. In Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, where most humanitarian aid enters, the acute malnutrition rate is 5 percent, compared to 15 percent in northern Gaza. Before the war, the rate across Gaza was less than 1 percent, the report said. A UN report in December found that Gaza’s entire population is in a food crisis, with one in four facing starvation.

Drop in aid trucks SOON after Hamas’ October 7 attack, Israel blocked entry of all food, water, fuel, medicine and other supplies into Gaza. Under US pressure, it began to allow a trickle of aid trucks to enter from Egypt at the Rafah crossing, and in December opened one crossing from Israel into southern Gaza, Kerem Shalom. The trucks have become virtually the sole source of food and other supplies for Gaza’s population. But the average number entering per day has fallen since February 9 to 60 a day from more than 140 daily in January, according to figures from the UN office for humanitarian coordination, known as OCHA. Even at its height, UN officials said the flow was not enough to sustain the population and was far below the 500 trucks a day entering before the war. The cause of the drop was not immediately clear. For weeks, See “Famine,” A11

US vetoes Arab-backed UN resolution demanding immediate Gaza cease-fire By Edith M. Lederer The Associated Press

NITED NATIONS—The United States on Tuesday vetoed an Arabbacked and widely supported UN resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war in the embattled Gaza Strip, saying it would interfere with negotiations on a deal to free hostages abducted in Israel. The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 13-1 with the United Kingdom abstaining, reflecting the strong support from countries around the globe for ending the war, which started when Hamas militants invaded southern Israel on October 7, killing about 1,200 people and taking 250 others hostage. Since then, more than 29,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s military offensive, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which says the vast majority were women and children. It was the third US veto of a Security Council resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and came a day after the United States circulated a rival resolution that would support a temporary cease-fire linked to the release of all hostages. Virtually every council member—including the United States—expressed concern at the impending catastrophe in Gaza’s southern city of Rafah, where some 1.5 million Palestinians have sought refuge, if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu goes ahead with his plan to evacuate civilians and move Israel’s military offensive to the area bordering Egypt, where Israel says Hamas fighters are hiding. Before the vote, Algeria’s UN Ambassador Amar Bendjama, the Arab representative on the council, said: “A vote in favor of this draft resolution is a support to the Palestinians right to life. Conversely, voting against it implies an endorsement of the brutal violence and collective punishment inflicted against them.” US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield countered by saying the United States understands the desire for urgent action but believes the resolution would “negatively impact” sensitive negotiations on a hostage deal and a pause in fighting for at least six weeks. If that happens, “we can take the time to build a more enduring peace,” she said. The proposed US resolution, she said, “would do what this text does not— pressure Hamas to take the hostage deal that is on the table and help secure a pause that allows humanitarian assistance to reach Palestinian civilians in desperate need.” She told reporters the Arab draft did not link the release of the hostages to a cease-fire, which would give Hamas a halt to fighting without requiring it to take any action. That would mean “that the fighting would have continued because without the hostage releases we know that the fighting is going to continue,” she said. Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan said the word cease-fire is used in the Security Council, the General Assembly and by UN officials “as if it is a silver bullet, a magical solution to all of the region’s problems.” He called that “an absurd notion,” warning that a cease-fire in Gaza would enable Hamas to rearm and regroup and “their next attempted genocide against Israelis will only be a question of when, not if.” Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian UN ambassador, shot back that the “message given today to Israel with this veto is that it can continue to get away with murder.” He warned that more babies will be killed and orphaned, more children will die of hunger, cold and disease, more families will be threatened with further forced displacement, and Gaza’s entire 2.3 million population will be left without food, water, medicine and shelter. And in a sharply critical message to the United States, Israel’s closest ally, Mansour said: “It means that human lives that could have been saved are instead being forsaken to Israel’s genocidal war machine, deliberately, knowingly, by those who oppose a cease-fire.” What happens next remains to be seen. The 22-nation Arab Group could take its resolution to the UN General Assembly, which includes all 193 UN member nations, where it is virtually certain to be approved.

Putin says Russia has no intention of putting nuclear weapons in space, denying US claims

OSCOW—Russian President Vladimir Putin declared Tuesday that Moscow has no intention of deploying nuclear weapons in space, claiming that the country has only developed space capabilities similar to those of the US. Putin’s statement follows the White House confirmation last week that Russia has obtained a “troubling” anti-satellite weapon capability, although such a weapon is not operational yet. White House national security spokesman John Kirby said it would violate the international Outer Space Treaty, but declined to comment on whether the weapon is nuclear-capable. The treaty signed by more than 130 countries, including Russia, prohibits the deployment of “nuclear weapons or any other kinds of weapons of mass destruction” in orbit or the stationing of “weapons in outer space in any other manner.” The White House said it would look to engage the Russians directly on the concerns. “Our position is quite clear and transparent: we have always been and remain categorically opposed to the deployment of nuclear weapons in space,” Putin said. “Just the opposite, we are urging everyone to adhere to all the agreements that exist in this sphere.” Speaking during a meeting with his defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, Putin noted that Russia has only developed space capabilities that “other nations, including the US, have.” “And they know it,” he added. “We haven’t deployed any nuclear weapons in space or any elements of them to use against satellites or to create fields where satellites can’t work efficiently,” Shoigu said. Shoigu alleged that the White House could have made the allegations of a new Russian space capability in order to force Congress to support aid for Ukraine and also encourage Moscow to reenter nuclear arms control talks that Russia has suspended amid the tensions with the US over Ukraine. Putin didn’t rule out possible future contacts with the US, but reaffirmed his view that Washington’s push for Russia’s defeat in Ukraine makes them impossible for now. “The US and the West, for one thing, are calling for Russia’s strategic defeat, while, on the other hand, they would like to have a dialogue on strategic stability, pretending that those things aren’t connected,” he said. “It won’t work.” AP

White House prepares ‘major sanctions’ on Russia following Navalny’s death and ahead of Ukraine invasion anniversary By Zeke Miller & Fatima Hussein The Associated Press

ASHINGTON—The White House said Tuesday it is preparing additional “major sanctions” on Russia in response to opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s death last week in an Arctic penal colony. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said the sanctions, on the eve of the two-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, “will be a substantial package covering a range of different elements of the Russian defense industrial base, and sources of revenue for the Russian economy that power Russia’s war machine, that power Russia’s aggression, and that power Russia’s repression.” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US had not determined how Navalny had died, but insisted that the ultimate responsibility lay with Putin. “Regardless of the scientific answer, Putin’s responsible for it,” he told reporters. Russian authorities have said the cause of Navalny’s death is still unknown and have refused to release his body for the next two weeks as the preliminary inquest continues, members of his team said. The Treasury Department declined to comment on the details of the upcoming sanctions. Brian Nelson, the department’s Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, is in Europe this week to continue working on Russia sanctions ahead of the invasion’s two-year anniversary. “The global coalition imposing unprecedented sanctions on Russia’s war machine has thrown sand in the gears of the Kremlin’s efforts to equip and supply its military. President Biden recently expanded Treasury’s authorities to target those funding Russia’s war production efforts—even if they’re located in third countries—and Treasury is aggressively pursuing those who attempt to evade our sanctions,” the Treasury department said last week. “Multilateral sanctions and export controls have forced hard tradeoffs for Putin and damaged his ability to project power now and in the future.” So far, the US and its allies have sanctioned thousands of Russian people and firms, frozen Russian Central Bank funds, banned certain Russian goods, restricted Russian banks’ access to SWIFT—the dominant system for global financial transactions—and imposed a $60-per-barrel price cap on Russian oil and diesel, among other measures. Policy experts have advanced an array of proposals meant to further starve Russia of the money it needs to continue its invasion—from seizing the nation’s Central Bank funds housed largely in Europe to lowering the Group of Seven price cap in Russian oil. A February working paper from the International Working Group on Russian Sanctions at Stanford University calls for heavier sanctions in Russia’s energy market—from lowering the current $60 price cap on Russian-produced oil to $30, as well as completing the EU and G-7 ban on Russian hydrocarbons.

are not legally binding. The Arab-backed resolution would have demanded an immediate humanitarian cease-fire to be respected by all parties, which implies an end to the war. By contrast, the US draft resolution would support a temporary ceasefire “as soon as practicable, based on the formula of all hostages being released,” and call for “lifting all barriers to the provision of humanitarian assistance at scale.” It is the first time the US has used the word “cease-fire,” as opposed to cessation of hostilities. The Arab draft would also have demanded the immediate release of all hostages, rejected the forced displacement of Palestinian civilians and called for unhindered humanitarian access throughout Gaza. Without naming either party, it would have condemned “all acts of terrorism” and reiterated the council’s “unwavering commitment” to a two-state solution with two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, living side-by-side in peace. In measures sure to anger Israel—and reinforce differences and tensions between US President Joe Biden and Israel’s Netanyahu—the US draft resolution reiterates the same unwavering commitment to a two-state solution, which the Israeli leader opposes. Biden has repeatedly called on Israel to protect Palestinian civilians, and the draft resolution says Israel’s planned major ground offensive in Rafah “should not proceed under current circumstances.” In another criticism directed at Israel, the US draft “condemns calls by government ministers for the resettlement of Gaza and rejects an attempt at demographic or territorial change in Gaza that would violate international law.” Thomas-Greenfield said the United States was not setting a deadline for a vote on its proposed resolution. Russia’s UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia accused the United States of “duplicitous and hypocritical calls” for the council to wait for diplomacy to produce results on a hostage deal. “It could not yield any results because the real goal of Washington is not to achieve peace in the Middle East, not to protect civilians, but rather to advance their geopolitical agenda, demanding at any cost for their closest Middle East ally to be shielded,” Nebenzia told the council, claiming that the US has given “an effective license for Israel to kill Palestinians.” While this was the third US veto of a Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, the council has adopted two resolutions on Gaza where the US abstained. Its first resolution, on Nov. 15, called for humanitarian pauses to address the escalating crisis for Palestinian civilians. In late November, a seven-day pause led to the release of 120 hostages held by Hamas in exchange for Israel’s release of 200 Palestinian prisoners. On December 22, the council adopted a watered-down resolution calling for immediately speeding aid deliveries to desperate civilians in Gaza, but without the original plea for an “urgent suspension of hostilities” between Israel and Hamas. It did call for “creating the conditions for a sustainable cessation of hostilities.” The steps were not defined, but diplomats said it was the council’s first reference to stopping fighting. Because of ongoing fighting and no new humanitarian pause, little aid has gotten into Gaza.

right-wing Israeli protesters have held demonstrations to block trucks, saying Gaza’s people should not be given aid. UN agencies have also complained that cumbersome Israeli procedures for searching trucks have slowed crossings. But chaos within Gaza appears to be a major cause. Moshe Tetro, an official with COGAT, an Israeli military body in charge of civilian Palestinian affairs, said the bottleneck was because the UN

and other aid groups can’t accept the trucks in Gaza or distribute them to the population. He said more than 450 trucks were waiting on the Palestinian side of Kerem Shalom crossing, but no UN staff had come to distribute them. Eri Kaneko, a spokesperson for OCHA, said the UN and other aid groups have not been able to regularly pick up supplies at the crossing points because of “the lack of security and breakdown of law and order.” He said the Israeli military has a responsibility to facilitate distribution within Gaza, and “aid piling up at the crossing is evidence of an absence of this

enabling environment.” In a rare public criticism of Israel, a top US envoy, David Satterfield, said this week that its targeted killings of Gaza police commanders guarding truck convoys have made it “virtually impossible” to distribute the goods safely. Besides crowds of Palestinians swarming convoys, aid workers say they are hampered by heavy fighting, strikes hitting trucks and Israeli failure to guarantee deliveries’ safety. The UN says that from January 1 to February 12, Israel denied access to 51 percent of its planned aid deliveries to north Gaza.

No end in sight THE war began when Hamas-led militants rampaged across communities in southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking around 250 hostages. The militants still hold some 130 captives, around a fourth of whom are believed to be dead. Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said it had confirmation that Hamas started delivering medications to the hostages, a month after the medications arrived in Gaza under a deal mediated by the Gulf state and France. The deal provides three months’ worth of

Thursday, February 22, 2024 A11

medication for chronic illnesses for 45 of the hostages, as well as other medicine and vitamins, in exchange for medicines and humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza. Israel has vowed to expand its offensive to Rafah, where more than half of the territory’s population of 2.3 million has sought refuge from fighting elsewhere. Gaza’s Health Ministry said Tuesday that the total Palestinian death toll since October 7 had risen to 29,195. The ministry does not differentiate between fighters and civilians in its records, but says women

and children make up two-thirds of those killed. Over 69,000 Palestinians have been wounded, according to the ministry. Israel says it has k i l led over 10,000 Palestinian militants but has provided no evidence for its count. The military blames the high civilian death toll on Hamas because the militant group fights in dense residential neighborhoods. The military says 237 of its soldiers have been killed since the start of the ground offensive in late October. Magdy reported from Cairo.

‘Lift restrictions on foreign stakes in rice, corn’ By Jovee Marie N. Dela Cruz @joveemarie

CONOMIC policy advocacy group Foundation for Economic Freedom (FEF) is pushing for the removal of foreign investment restrictions in the rice and corn sectors to improve productivity and farmers’ income and reduce consumer prices. This stance was presented during the second roundtable discussion on attracting foreign investments, sponsored by the House of Representatives Congressional Planning, Budget, and Research Department and the Committee Affairs Department. The discussions were moderated by Marikina City Rep. Stella Quimbo, the senior vice chairperson of the committee on appropriations. FEF’s position, articulated by

technical consultant Maria Charina Ubarra, a former House legislative officer, was supported by representatives from the American Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Investments, the Department of Agriculture, and the National Food Authority. Ubarra told lawmakers that their position has a two-fold objective: to remove limitations on foreign investment in the rice and corn sectors and encourage foreign investments to develop and boost the sector’s productivity. She pointed out existing restrictions in the Constitution and two laws—Republic Act (RA) 3018 and Presidential Decree (PD) 194—which should be repealed or amended to align with the goal of agricultural sector growth. RA 3018, which limited the industry to Filipinos, was enacted on

August 2, 1960. Ubarra discussed the unique “time-lock delay” divestment requirement in PD 194, hindering foreign companies from expanding operations, as they would lose control after 30 years of operation. PD 194 was issued by the late President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. on May 17, 1973. “The divestment requirement is a unique restriction to the Philippines and the rice and corn sectors, in particular. Foreign companies that have established operations in the country are hesitant to expand their operations as they near the divestment period, since they will lose control of their investments.” Ubarra said foreign companies in the agriculture sector do not compete with local farmers because they are only buyers and users of local produce, which they

transform into “ high-end and high-value” products. These firms, however, compete with local companies that also use rice and corn as raw materials, she added. “Such competition, technology transfer, and assistance to farmers in turn bring about lower prices of rice and corn-based consumer products.” She said other stakeholders in agriculture, like hog, poultry, and seafood producers, also benefit from such competition in terms of better quality feeds and access to technologies. Ubarra said the Philippines is lagging behind its neighbors in rice production despite the fact that Thailand and Vietnam learned productive rice-growing practices from the International Rice Research Institute in Los

Baños, Laguna. The former House legislative officer urged lawmakers to repeal or amend RA 3018 and PD 194 to make them consistent with the goal of the Marcos administration of growing the agriculture sector. For her part, Nueva Ecija Rep. Ria Vergara expressed surprise over the existence of the law nationalizing the rice and corn industries. Lawmakers called for its immediate repeal. “I mean, this is a 1960s law that is no longer relevant. What have we done about it?” Vergara asked. “Up until now, we are not aware of it. Some of us were not even born then. We should repeal it immediately.” Raquel Echague, who heads the resources-based industries service of the Board of Investments, echoed the reluctance of foreign

companies to expand due to the ownership restrictions in existing laws. “We have six companies with P4 billion in investments that are hesitant to expand due to the divestment requirement.” She said liberalization should extend to downstream industries like the production of feeds for hogs, cattle, poultry, fish, and similar produce. For his part, Christopher Ilagan of the American Chamber of Commerce and Industry said there are a number of American firms operating in the country that have expressed concern over the divestment requirement in PD 194. “They continue to operate because of a lack of enforcement, but it has become an ethical issue for them.”

DA seeks US firm’s help to control Cecid flies in mangoes Greek farmers escalate protests as tractors arrive in Athens

HE Department of Agriculture (DA) said it will invite experts from Sun & Earth Microbiology LLC, a Florida-headquartered biotechnology company, to help eliminate Cecid fly infestation that undermines Philippine mango production and export. Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr. said the DA is open to the idea of testing the products of Sun & Earth, whose chief executive officer, Guillermo William Vazquez, had earlier helped control Fusarium wilt in bananas—a fungus that causes discoloration and wilting that eventually kills the plant. Laurel said in a statement that he is interested in products that will address Fusarium wilt that affects banana, abaca and coconut trees—all major agricultural exports of the Philippines. He is also keen on the United States-based company’s product to address the problem with rice bugs. Sun & Earth plans to use biological microbes that had been successfully tested against the insects in Venezuela, Columbia and Vietnam to address Cecid fly problem

in Palawan, where mango production on some 100,000 hectares of orchard had been affected. The US biotechnology company also uses biological control agents to paralyze Cecid flies. The flies destroy up to 80 percent of mango fruits, with those affected showing brown scab-like spots. These pests usually start infesting mango trees shortly after flowering.

While Sun & Earth expressed some concerns about clearances from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its customized products, DA Undersecretary for Operations Roger Navarro said the agency will discuss the matter with FDA. The Philippines exported over P5 billion worth of fruits, including mangoes and avocados, last year on the back of higher demand

from newly opened markets, the DA said last month. The DA said the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) facilitated and recorded the export of 20,325.09 metric tons (MT) of mangoes, avocados and durians worth P5.167 billion. Last year, the country shipped 12,548.49 MT of mangoes worth P2.9 billion, 3,045.6 MT of avocados valued at P377 million and 4,731 MT of durian worth P1.89 billion. “ The 2023 export [volume] figures showed a 316-percent increase for avocado, 109 percent for mango, and a significant 4,000 percent for durian, respectively compared to last year,” the DA said in a statement. It noted that the BPI issued over 83,000 sanitary and phytosanitary certificates for the export of various agricultural products last year, as well as nearly 80,000 import clearances for the entry of foreign commodities. “The bureau likewise helped open markets for durian exports to China, Hass avocados to South Korea and mangoes to Australia.”

Phinl opens climate-controlled tulip farm in Quirino By Andrea E. San Juan @andreasanjuan

HINL Corp., a Board of Investments (BOI)-registered company, has unveiled Asia’s first climate-controlled tulip farm in the Philippines, according to the BOI. The agency attached to the Department of Trade and Industry said the project is the “first and only fully-contained and computer-controlled indoor hydroponic tulip farm” in the country. With a project cost of P157.4 million, the tulip farm has a capacity to produce up to 6,000 stems per batch and room for further expansion, as the firm aims to meet the “increasing” demand for “highquality” tulips in the country, the BOI said in a statement.

It added that each stem is grown locally and freshly harvested in the country. BOI also noted that the facility directly provides 42 local jobs, with the “potential” for technology transfer, upskilling, and further growth as the company expands production in the coming years. Located in Maddela, Quirino, BOI said the project will be able to “successfully” grow “top-quality” tulips in a sub-tropical climate. BOI Executive Director for Industry Development Services Corazon Dichosa said Phinl ’s climate-controlled tulip farm in the country “demonstrates (the government’s) commitment to innovation and sustainability in agriculture.” “Tulip flower bulbs are usually found in countries with mild

to moderate climates, therefore making the Philippines’ tropical climate an unstable environment for growing tulips due to high temperature and humidity levels,” the BOI said. The agency noted that the main raw materials used in the project are tulip bulbs, which are imported from the Netherlands or New Zealand, depending on the season or availability. The agency also noted that these are stored in a cold storage facility to ensure “optimal” preservation. Phinl adopts a technology that is similar to hydroponics, “a method of cultivation that does not use soil but instead uses an inert medium to ensure optimal conditions for growth,” according to the BOI.

DAR, PNP seal deal for ‘agraryo merkado’

HE Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) in Masbate and the Philippine National Police (PNP) recently formalized a partnership for the implementation of “agraryo merkado” at the Provincial Police Office of Masbate campsite. In a statement, the DAR-Masbate said Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II Herald R. Tambal and the PNP Provincial Police Office represented by Police Col. Liane M. Van de Velder signed a memorandum of agreement at Camp Col. Bonny Serrano in Masbate City

last February 19 for the implementation of the project. Tambal said the expansion of the agraryo merkado that will now reach the PNP camp in Masbate is consistent with the government’s goal of promoting the agricultural sector and providing support services to agrarian reform beneficiaries. Agraryo merkado is a project organized by DAR-Masbate as a way for farmer-beneficiaries to earn additional income and promote their products. Nineteen agrarian reform

beneficiaries’ organizations (ARBO) entered the agreement. Some of the products that will be displayed at the campsite include locally processed food items (chicken tocino, chicken lumpia, beef tapa, pork tocino, chili garlic, coconut vinegar, papaya pickles, peanut molido, etc.) and newly harvested farm produce. Tambal said the realization of agraryo merkado was “a dream come true” for our farmer-beneficiaries and the DAR. “The formal launching of agraryo merkado

far m equipped w ith cuttingedge vertical farming technology from leading Dutch specialist partners. The facility operates in a “completely closed” environment, ensuring full control of temperature, humidity, and light intensity. “ T his unique approach a llows for year-round production, constant qua lit y, and higher yields compared to traditional outdoor or greenhouse method,” the BOI said. “By ut i l i zing c ut t ing- edge technology and expertise, this project not only showcases the Philippines’s capacity for innovation but it also promises to bolster the country’s agricultural sector, providing employment opportunities and contributing to economic growth.” last April 12, 2023, spearheaded by Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III, provided a fixed market to our farmers and a new source of fresh produce for our consumers,” DAR said. “We are poised to make a tangible and positive impact on the lives of our farmers and the agricultural landscape of our province. As we embark on this collaborative journey, let us reaffirm our shared commitment to upholding the welfare of our farmers, promote sustainable agricultural practices, and foster inclusive growth in our rural areas” said Police Lt. Col. Reynaldo B. Torlao, DPD for Administration. The Agraryo Merkado at PNP is scheduled to open every Thursday at 8:30 a.m. starting February 22, 2024. Jonathan L. Mayuga

REEK farmers are escalating their protests by driving their tractors to Athens after Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said there’s no fiscal space to offer further financial relief. Some 140 tractors entered the city, with police stopping traffic on central roads to allow the protesters get to Syntagma Square in front of Greek parliament. Many others arrived by bus. The disruption has also hit Athens public transportation, which has been forced to adjust schedules. The farmers plan to stay at Syntagma Square overnight and return to their bases on Wednesday morning. Leaders from opposition parties also visited the protesters. In recent months, farmers across Europe have been protesting over issues including soaring costs, mounting bureaucracy, new European Union regulations in its Green Deal and imports diluting their markets. Elsewhere, Indian farmer groups have taken to the streets this month to demand price guarantees and in the US farmers are complaining they’re priced out by big companies. Greece’s farmers are asking for tax relief and a renegotiation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)—the EU’s subsidy regime—while they also complain for not been fully compensated for last year’s flood damage in the Thessaly region, the country’s largest agricultural area. Following talks last week, farmers already were: n Granted lower power bills for the next

10 years in a bid to ease their production costs, and n Promised a first tranche of a rebate on fuel tax in March. Before that, Mitsotakis had said that initial compensation for those who suffered from natural disasters will be capped at €10,000 ($10,810) instead of a previous €2,000. While the premier has acknowledged that many of the farmers’ demands are justified, he’s also made clear that the government doesn’t have any leeway. “We have nothing more to give,” Mitsotakis said in a Star TV interview Monday night. “And I think that the farmers also recognize this and know very well that already the government probably exceeded the limits of their expectations, especially

in the issue of electricity.” Still, the prime minister sees these protests as a way for him to put extra pressure on Brussels to change the CAP when European leaders eventually discuss the issue. In January, agriculture ministers of nine Mediterranean countries, including France, Italy and Greece, signed a joint letter to declare their support in discussions on the climate crisis and other common concerns “such as the need for a simplification of the CAP.” The group is expected to reconvene on February 26 in Brussels.

Aluminum, nickel prices

ALUMINUM and nickel briefly jumped after United States President Joe Biden said the US plans to unveil a “major” sanctions package against Russia on Friday following the death of opposition leader Alexey Navalny. Aluminum prices on the London Metal Exchange rose as much as 1.8 percent while nickel gained up to 1.3 percent after Biden’s comments Tuesday to reporters at the White House. Biden didn’t comment specifically on which industries would be targeted, but traders have been on the lookout for potential new restrictions on Russian metals after the United Kingdom moved in December to block British individuals and entities from trading physical metals including aluminum, copper and nickel from Russia. At the time, the UK also hinted at the possibility of coordinated action with international partners. Up until then, Russian metals had escaped broad sanctions. White House spokesman John Kirby said in a briefing earlier Tuesday that sanctions would be designed “to hold Russia accountable for what happened to Mr. Navalny.” US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the “substantial package” of financial penalties would cover “different elements of the Russian defense-industrial base and sources of revenue for the Russian economy” that fuel Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “war machine” and “repression.” The two metals “definitely jumped” on news that the US may sanction Russia over the death of Navalny, said Xiaoyu Zhu, a trader at StoneX Financial Inc. Earlier Tuesday, aluminum sunk to a four-week low while nickel slid amid lingering uncertainty about global demand. Bloomberg News

PBEd to DepEd: Stick to firm, consistent B calendar to lessen learning disruptions

PRC suspends food relief operation in Agusan del Sur after ‘poisoning’

By Andrea E. San Juan

@andreasanjuan

HE Philippine Business for Education (PBEd) said it is hoping for a “firm and consistent” school ca lend ar to minimize learning disruptions. In a statement Wednesday, PBEd underscored that changes in the academic calendar must take into consideration the “continuity and conduciveness” of the learning environment. “Our students need a fixed schedule. We hope that this recent decision will be firm and consistent among administrations so as to minimize learning disruption,” PBEd. According to the education advocacy group, the decision to revert back to the old academic calendar should not be seen as a “stop gap measure” to address the underlying

issues that make the existing school calendar “unbearable.” “To safeguard our children, we need to make sure that classrooms can withstand extreme weather conditions and have transportation support available,” PBEd said. Under Department Order (DO) No. 003, s. 2024 issued by the Department of Education (DepEd) last February 19, DepEd said it “recognizes the clamor” to gradually revert the school calendar to the pre-pandemic opening of classes. This, it said, after “resounding consensus” from consultations with teachers, learners and “relevant” stakeholders. With this, the DO noted that the adjusted date of the End of School Year (EOSY) shall be May 31, 2024. Moreover, the order stated that the EOSY break shall be from June 1 to July 26,2024. Meanwhile, the start and end of

School Year 2024-2025, the order noted, shall start on July 29, 2024 and end on May 16, 2025. PBEd said the government should also ensure the additional number of school days needed to offset the days lost due to national holidays and class suspensions. “Alternatives to face-to-face classes should also be explored in the event of class suspensions. Now is the time for DepEd to institutionalize good practices from remote learning experience, whether through assigned modules, or online or broadcast classes,” it added. The education advocacy group also pointed out that “there must be greater involvement” among local governments as many of the concerns can be addressed at the local level, especially in ensuring that physical and digital infrastructure are in place so that learning continues.

Pinoy Gen X, Y want own businesses, flexiwork sked Continued from A22 Dr. Ona noted that since the country’s population is ageing, it is important for the public and private sectors to work together to make sure that the Gen X and millennials receive the healthcare they paid for. “This study is something that the government can look into as it starts the full implementation of Universal Health Care. The study should also be done on a regular basis so that we are updated with the trends and views of the various age groups,” he added. With Gen Xs and Ys embracing prolonged careers over early

retirement, PhilCare President and CEO Jaeger Tanco said the conventional narratives surrounding retirement are being challenged. This underscores the evolving perception of work as an integral part of life. “To cater to the needs of Gen X and Y for extended careers, employers may need to reevaluate their career development programs. This may involve creating pathways for continuous learning, mentorship o p p o r t u n it i e s , a n d p h a s e d retirement plans that align with the two generations’ professional journey,” Tanco noted. He added that through the Wellness Index, PhilCare has already been

able to launch innovative products and services that aim to help employers, even individuals, attain a satisfying growth and development journey. These offerings include the very first prepaid health care cards in the market, individual and corporate health plans, webbased teleconsultation service DigiMed, clinic-on-wheels MedHub mobile, and mental health program Mindscapes. “The PhilCare Wellness Index underscores our relentless pursuit of comprehensive hea lthcare solutions. The study is not just about statistics; is our blueprint for big ideas,” Tanco said.

US on Quiboloy

THE US Embassy in Manila said justice will catch up with former President Rodrigo’s close friend and spiritual adviser Quiboloy. “For more than a decade, Apollo Qu iboloy engaged in ser ious human rights abuses, including a pattern of systemic and pervasive rape of girls as young as 11 years old, and is currently on the FBI’s Most Wanted List. “We are confident that Quiboloy will face justice for his heinous

crimes. Questions about legal proceedings should be directed to the US Department of Justice,” US Embassy spokesman Kanishka Gangopadhay said in a text message. Quiboloy maintained his suspicion that the complaint filed by a Filipina independent contractor was politically motivated to discredit the administration then, and bring down now, the family of former President Duterte. Duterte’s daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, is perceived to be a leading contender to the Presidency in the 2028 elections.

Quiboloy faces several complaints in the US from alleged former members of his congregration, the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, the Name Above Every Name. A jury indicted him and later in 2022, the FBI released a poster titled “Wanted by the FBI” and placed Quiboloy’s name across it. Below his name was the accusation “conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion and sex trafficking of children; sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion; conspiracy; bulk cash smuggling.” With Malou Talosig-Bartolome

UTUAN CITY—Some 216 residents of a remote barangay in Esperanza, Agusan del Sur were reported to be hospitalized following an alleged bout of food poisoning after they supposedly consumed a hot meal provided by the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) for a flooding relief event on Monday. PRC A g u s a n d e l Su r C h a p t e r released a st atement on Tuesd ay evening, noting that while the cause of the health emergency remains under investigation by the local government, the PRC’s hot meals program in the province was suspended until the completion of the probe. “Rest assured that PRC supports t he i nv e s t i g at io n . PRC re m a i n s transparent and will closely coordinate with the local government on this serious matter,” PRC said. The Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office said the patients are from Barangay Tandang Sora, one of the most affected communities by the severe flooding that happened in early February. According to Jasmin Carlos, the Health Education and Promotion Officer of Esperanza Medicare Community Hospital (EMCH), several residents arrived at the hospital at past 6 p.m. on Monday, exhibiting symptoms, such as stomach ache, vomiting, and dizziness. “After our assessment and consultation, we provided appropriate management intervention by administering intravenous (IV) fluids and gave them medications as recommended by our doctors at the hospital,” Carlos said. Health officials said majority of the patients are toddlers and elderly with the youngest patients being an 8-month-old baby and a 1-year-old. On Monday afternoon, the victims were ser ved hot mea ls, including chicken liver adobo, boiled egg, and rice by the volunteer staff and cooks of the PRC Agusan del Sur Chapter as part of the Hot Meals on Wheels program to aid flood victims. Darwina Ilagan, of the PRC Agusan del Sur Chapter, stated that four food trucks were sent by PRC to the floodstricken victims in Agusan del Sur in flooded towns in Bunawan, San Luis, Talacogon and Esperanza, accompanied by five student volunteers, who served as servers, and two cooks. According to PRC Agusan del Sur the incident was the seventh day where they handed out food relief to 1,000 individuals in the said barangay. Dr. Jaqueline Momville, Agusan del Sur provincial health officer said they cannot rule out that it is food poisoning because they are still waiting for the results of the investigation from the surveillance unit. Until then, it is considered alleged or a health emergency. Among the 216 patients, 142 are under EMCH, while the rest have been transported to nearby community hospitals as bed capacity has already been reached. According to the EMCH daily census report as of 8 p.m. Tuesday, the number of patients under observation is 51, and 91 have already been discharged.

DMW pursuing civil damage from family of OFW Ranara’s teen killer By Samuel P. Medenilla @sam_medenilla

HE Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) announced on Wednesday it would pursue civil damages against the family of the minor who was convicted of killing overseas Filipino worker (OFW) Jullebee Ranara. “I have issued instructions to our Mi-

grant Workers Office in Kuwait (MWOKuwait) to work with our retained legal counsel in filing a civil action for damages against the father of the convicted perpetrator,” DMW Officer-in-Charge Hans J. Cacdac said in a brief statement. The DMW official made the pronouncement after the Kuwait Appeal Court upheld the guilty verdict and sentence for the murder of Ranara.

Ranara’s teen killer is facing 1-year imprisonment for driving without a license and 15 years’ imprisonment for murder. “We welcome the ruling of the State of Kuwait’s Appeal Court upholding the guilty verdict and sentence of 16 years’ imprisonment against the accused for the murder of OFW Jullebee Ranara,” Cacdac said.

He said they already informed Ranara’s family about the decision and assured them DMW will continue to provide them with assistance. The burnt remains of the 35-year old Ranara were found in the desert in Kuwait in January 2023. The 17-year old son of Ranara’s employer later confessed to committing the crime.

Seven cops wanted for murder yield to PNP’s anti-scalawag unit

IX police officers and another who went absent without official leave (AWOL) surrendered to the police force’s anti-scalawag unit, a ranking police official said Wednesday. In a statement, Philippine National PoliceIntegrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group (PNP-IMEG) chief Brig. Gen. Warren de Leon said those who surrendered are S/Sgt. Quill Bay-an (AWOL), Chief Master Sergeants Joseph Chumawar

Jr. and Israel Lucob, Captains Justin Anogue, Guilbert Asuncion and Orlando Rosales Jr., and Master Sgt. Dante Baloran. The suspects have standing arrest warrants issued by the San Mateo, Rizal Regional Trial Court Branch 174 for two counts of murder over the death of two alleged communist rebels in an armed encounter in Sitio Lagyo, Barangay Puray, Rodriguez, Rizal sometime in 2010. The accused were members of the Rapid

Deployment Battalion of the PNP Special Action Force. Bay-an surrendered to arresting officers in Barangay Tawang, La Trinidad Benguet on Feb. 8. On February 11, Chumawar and Lucob surrendered to the local police in Mabalacat City and Angeles City in Pampanga, respectively, while Anogue surrendered to IMEG operatives inside Camp Crame, Quezon City. Last February 13, Asuncion, Rosales and Baloran,

all presently assigned at SAF, surrendered to the operatives of IMEG Counterintelligence Division. The accused are currently detained at IMEG custodial facility in Camp Crame or documentation prior to the return of the warrant to the issuing court. “The voluntary surrender of the seven accused personnel before the PNP-IMEG proves their trust in our ranks. We will continue to strengthen the impartial enforcement of the law,” de Leon said. PNA
