UK WEATHER TURMOIL SPURS CALLS TO ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE

HE Asian Development Bank (ADB) raised its growth forecast for the Philippines to 6.5 percent this year on the back of a better-than-expected first quarter performance and robust

consumption spending in the second half of 2022. In its Asian Development Outlook Supplement (ADOS) released on Thursday, ADB raised its GDP growth forecast from the 6 percent it initially estimated in April 2022. It may be noted that the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) released

the official first-quarter GDP estimates of the country, which reached 8.3 percent, in May 2022. ADB Philippines Country Director Kelly Bird told BusinessMirror that the increase in consumption spending will also allow the economy to post a growth of 6.5 percent or better this year. For 2023,

ADB maintained its 6.3-percent forecast. “Our growth rate for 2022 takes into account the projected inflationary effects for this year, though offsetting some of the rebound in consumer spending in the second See “ADB,” A2

PENDING TOURISM BLUEPRINT STYMIES TPB MARKETING PUSH By Ma. Stella F. Arnaldo @akosistellaBM

Special to the BusinessMirror

HE Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) is still waiting on the Department of Tourism (DOT) to approve the National Tourism Development Plan (NTDP) for 2022-2028 to be able to draw up the marketing strategies needed to attract their target markets. Sources who attended the meeting between Tourism Secretary-designate Christina Garcia Frasco and TPB officials led by Chief Operating Officer Ma. Anthonette Velasco-Allones on July 18, told the BusinessMirror, “The TPB can’t finalize its strategic marketing program because there is no revised NTDP. So it’s

unable to focus its marketing as there is still no decision on which portfolios should be promoted.” The Tourism Secretary chairs the board of directors of the TPB, which is the marketing arm of the DOT. The NTDP is a medium-term roadmap outlining how the Philippines can achieve tourism competitiveness by marketing high-quality products and destinations. It also includes strategies to enhance connectivity from international airports to the Philippines, among the domestic ports, as well and improve infrastructure. The NTDP 2022-2028 was drawn up in the last months of former Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo Puyat, but was sent back to the developers for revision after

Pag-IBIG releases nearly ₧52-B home loans in H1 By Bernadette D. Nicolas @BNicolasBM

TATE-RUN Home Development Mutual (Pag-IBIG) Fund released nearly P52 billion in home loans in the first half of this year, marking another record-high for the agency. Pag-IBIG Fund’s home loan releases amounted to P51.96 billion from January to June this year, eclipsing the agency’s previous record of P44.34 billion in the same period last year. Pag-IBIG Fund Of f icer-In-

Charge Vice President for Loans Originations Group Mary Annette R. Samano said the home loans they disbursed in the first semester financed a total of 47,184 housing units in the same period. “For these six months of 2022, we posted a P51.96 billion total takeout. Again it’s a history for the Pag-IBIG Fund for the first six months of the year,” Samano said during the BusinessMirror Coffee Club webinar on Thursday. Last year, Pag-Ibig Fund surpassed the P100-billion mark in total home loan releases even amid

₧1.3B worth of expiring Covid jabs, private sector’s burden

By Andrea E. San Juan

half of the vaccines acquired are shared with the government, who at that time “was hindered by regulatory roadblocks that prevented the purchase of a treatment that was still awaiting FDA approval.” Each AstraZeneca jab, the Go Negosyo founder said, is estimated to cost at least $5 each, while Moderna shots were bought for $26.83 for each dose. As of July 21, Concepcion said, the total expiring vaccines in private sector warehouses went down from 1,516,040 to 1,488,380. The

breakdown is as follows: AstraZeneca (623,680) and Moderna (864,700). “We have to learn from this. I think what really contributed was the lack of clear rules on the vaccines: who is allowed to take the vaccines, and the ability of some bodies to move swiftly with science and the reality on the ground,” said Concepcion. Concepcion stressed, “the lack of urgency with some bodies is still affecting the whole vaccine rollout. This shouldn’t be the case as we move forward.” The Go Negosyo founder has been appealing for second boosters to be allowed for members of the workforce who are as young as 50 years old. “The private sector has already proven that it is willing to get vaccinated. There is no need for mandates when it comes to the private sector,” added Concepcion, while he agrees that first boosters must be the primary focus, and the private sector must be allowed to use the vaccines it paid for. As experts at ACE (Advisory Council of Experts) suggested, Concepcion said, that pandemic response should

not be business-as-usual. “We should consider the impact on the whole of society, the weight of the evidence coming from countries who have the studies and the data, the variants, and the challenges of rollout on the ground,” he said. Concepcion added that factors like the return of in-person classes and the vulnerability of the workforce should also be considered in the deployment of vaccines. Government units, he said, have to be attuned and should be part of the solutions moving forward. He reiterated that many countries around the world have already found that persons younger than 60 can benefit from second boosters, and suggested that the Philippines follow the lead of those who have studied the merits of second boosters. “Second-booster vacc inat ions using mRNA vaccines were allowed in the Philippines only in mid-May, two months after the US CDC updated its own guidelines to include even those as young as 50 years old,” read the Go Negosyo statement on Thursday.

Disaster Resilience Creation and amendments to the E-commerce Act. It’s worth noting that the local and foreign

business groups are also recommending that the government seek the enactment of a Pandemic Protection Act. Last month,

the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and its attached agencies said they are pushing for approval of the bill in a bid to strengthen the stockpiling of critical health products such as personal protective equipment (PPE). Local business groups and foreign chambers are also seeking the enactment of Holiday Rationalization Act; Philippine Airports Authority Creation; and amendments to the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) Charter. Moreover, they are lobbying for the enactment of amendments to the 25-yearold Intellectual Property Code, which the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) is also advocating to help the country keep pace with global legal and technological developments while boosting its attractiveness for tech businesses. There are also recommendations to enact the Philippine Pension System Portability and Strengthening; Apprenticeship Program Reform; Agricultural Lands Ownership Easing; the repeal of Commonwealth Act 138 (Flag Act); International Maritime Trade Competitiveness Act; and Satellite-based Technologies Promotion Act. Among the 24 bills mentioned, seven bills reached the advanced stages of approval in the 18th Congress: the Liberalization of Foreign Equity Restrictions in the Constitution; Open Access in Data Transmission; Ease of Paying Taxes; Promotion of Digital Payments; Property Valuation and Assessment Reform (Tax Reform Package 3 under the previous administration’s Comprehensive Tax Reform Program); Capital Income and Financial Taxes Reform (Tax Reform Package 4); and Department of Disaster Resilience. As the groups congratulated the President and Vice President for winning the elections, they said in the letter that they look forward to working closely with the Marcos-Duterte administration and the 19th Congress. In relation to this, the groups seek to work with the government in pursuing the advocated reforms and others that will generate substantial impact in achieving inclusive growth through job generation, increased investment, poverty reduction, and improved global competitiveness. Signatories to the letter are: American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines; Australian-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines; Canadian Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines; European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines; Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines; IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines; Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Philippines Inc.; Korean Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines Inc.; Makati Business Club; Management Association of the Philippines; Philippine Association of Multinational Companies Regional Headquarters Inc.; and Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the Philippines Foundation Inc.

O Negosyo founder Jose Maria A. Concepcion III said the Covid-19 vaccines worth more than P1.3 billion that are expiring by the end of July are losses incurred only by the private sector. In a statement on Thursday, Concepcion clarified that the vaccines set to expire by the end of July are the losses incurred only by the private sector and do not yet reflect the vaccines it donated to the government. “We donated AstraZeneca vaccines to the government,” said Concepcion on Thursday. He said the expiring vaccines were acquired by the private sector through the tripartite agreement A Dose of Hope, which was formed in October 2020. Under the tripartite agreement,

half. However, the economy is expected to maintain strong growth momentum that would keep growth at or above 6.5 percent this year,” Bird said in an email. ADB also raised its inflation estimates for the Philippines to 4.9 percent this year and 4.3 percent next year. In April, ADB estimated inflation would average 4.2 percent this year and 3.5 percent. These, Bird said, are consistent with global inflation expectations. But he expressed confidence that the recent hike in interest rates by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) would stem inflation increases. In June 2022, inflation reached 6.1 percent, the highest since October 2018 when inflation reached 6.9 percent. The rise in commodity prices was driven by food and fuel prices. (Full story here: https://businessmirror. com.ph/2022/07/06/june-inflation-at-61-as-food-prices-surge/) “The main factors underlying this increase in inflation are coming from the supply side, through the disruption to global supply chains from the Covid-19 pandemic and commodity supply shocks caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. BSP’s increase in its policy rate should adequately mitigate rising inflation expectations going forward,” Bird told BusinessMirror. Overall, the ADB said the country’s growth would also be driven by the large public infrastructure projects that are under way, as well as a slew of private sector indicators. These include the Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), industrial production, and imports, all of which “continue to expand.” However, PSA data showed the Volume of Production Index in May grew only 1.9 percent (story here: https://businessmirror. com.ph/2022/07/08/manufacturingproduction-posts-1-9-growth-in-may/) while the country’s trade deficit widened by 78.6 percent (Story here: https:// businessmirror.com.ph/2022/07/12/ costly-fuel-food-to-bloat-trade-gap/). Nonetheless, Bird said, the legislative reforms such as the Public Service Act, retail sector and foreign investment combined with other reforms such as the tax measures TRAIN and CREATE would allow the economy

Will she stay?

FRASCO failed to respond to this paper’s query on whether she was inclined to have Velasco-Allones retained at her post, as the latter’s term of office already expired on June 30. It was extended to July 30 due to the transition from the Duterte to the Marcos Jr. administration. A lawyer by profession, VelascoAllones was well-liked by tourism stakeholders, who had appreciated her energy and “out-of-the-box thinking” to market Philippine destinations to both domestic and foreign tourists. During the pandemic, it was TPB which funded free RT-PCR tests to enable Filipinos to visit domestic destinations. The TPB board will have to appoint an officer-in-charge in case the COO post is vacated. Under Republic Act 9593 (Tourism Act of 2009), the Tourism Congress of the Philippines recommends to the President the five TPB board members to represent accommodation enterprises; travel and tour services; land, air and sea tourist transport services; conventions and exhibitions services and suppliers; and other tourism enterprises. In turn, it is the board which

to grow faster. “Earlier reforms setting up the Philippine Competition Commission and ARTA have created a competitive investment framework and should encourage further foreign investments in the Philippines, lift the manufacturing and industry sectors, and sustain the Philippines’ growth rate above 6 percent. Going forward, further specific sector reforms in utilities will be necessary to maximize the gains from these recent reforms,” Bird added. Meanwhile, ADB lowered its economic growth forecast for developing Asia and the Pacific to 4.6 percent this year due to slower expansion in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), more aggressive monetary tightening in advanced economies, and fallout from the continued Russian invasion of Ukraine. The outlook compares with a projection of 5.2 percent issued by ADB in April. The bank also raised its forecast for inflation in the region, amid higher prices for food and fuel. Developing Asia and the Pacific is continuing its recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, according to ADB’s Asian Development Outlook (ADO) 2022 Supplement, released today. Many countries are easing mobility restrictions, which is strengthening economic activity. However, growth has slowed in the PRC, the region’s largest economy, due to disruption from new Covid-19 lockdowns, as well as weaker global demand. Inflation in developing Asia and the Pacific is predicted to accelerate to 4.2 percent this year, compared with a previous forecast of 3.7 percent. However, inflation pressure in the region as a whole is still lower than elsewhere in the world. For 2023, ADB lowered its economic growth projection for the region to 5.2 percent from 5.3 percent, while raising the inflation forecast to 3.5 percent from 3.1 percent. Growth forecasts for some subregions were upgraded. The outlook for Southeast Asia was raised to 5 percent this year from 4.9 percent amid increased domestic demand due to more relaxed Covid-19 restrictions. The forecast for the Caucasus and Central Asia was raised to 3.8 percent from 3.6 percent, as some economies in the subregion have withstood the economic fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine better than expected. In the Pacific, rebounding tourism in Fiji helped the subregion’s growth outlook improve to 4.7 percent from 3.9 percent.

2019, the agency’s previous record-high. Of the total home loan releases in the first half of this year, Samano said socialized housing loans for low-wage earners comprised P3.67 billion or 7.07 percent. These socialized housing loans financed 8,471 units, equivalent to 17.95 percent of the total. However, the amount of socialized housing loans released by the agency was down by 21.2 percent than the P4.66 billion disbursed in the same period last year. Last year, socialized housing loans released by Pag-IBIG Fund hit P9.71 billion, surging by 37 percent from P7.1 billion in 2020.

Travel app improved

DURING their meeting, Frasco underscored the need to maximize the use of Travel App 2.0, an application that highlights key and emerging destinations in the country. The digitalization of tourism products and offerings, she stressed, is a priority of the Marcos administration. Travel App 2.0 was softlaunched by the TPB recently, after tweaks to its forerunner “Travel Philippines” were made. The app is supposed to contain the most up-todate info on local destinations including possible entry rules, tourism activities and products, and how to get there. The new DOT chief also instructed TPB officials to reach out to the local government units (LGUs) and exhaust all assistance possible in their tourism-related requirements, particularly in the lesserknown and underdeveloped destinations, “to equalize opportunities for tourism marketing and promotion.” Frasco wants to strengthen projects and programs granted by the TPB to LGUs, by exploring tourism areas and communities that could be further improved. The DOT regional offices were supposed to have validated in the last two years “tourism circuits,” which include new products and neighboring provinces that can be marketed to travelers as major destinations. A list of the validated tourism circuits have also yet to be turned over to the TPB for marketing, said sources.

DA indefinitely extends moratorium on laboratory fees for avian flu tests

HE Department of Agriculture (DA) has extended indefinitely its moratorium on laboratory fees for avian influenza (AI) tests for certain transactions to encourage local poultry producers to secure farm certification amid bird flu threats in the country. Agriculture Undersecretar y for Operations and Chief-ofStaff Leocadio S. Sebastian issued DA Administrative Order (AO) No. 21 series of 2022 that aut hor i zed t he e x tension of moratorium on the charging of laboratory fees for AI tests. The extension of the moratorium covers AI tests for local transport by the Animal Disease Diagnosis and Reference Laboratory (ADDRL) of the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) and the Regional Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratories (RADDLs). Furthermore, the AO stipulated that the extension of the moratorium is only applicable to the following transactions: new application for farm certification; renewal of farm certification; and local transport of live poultry, poultry products and by-products as endorsed by provincial and city veterinary offices of the independent cities and veterinary offices in NCR. The last moratorium on AI lab test fees by ADDRL and RADDLs expired last June 30. “The previous moratorium was issued to support and give ample time to all clients to register their poultry facilities and other poultryrelated facilities while strengthening AI surveillance and reporting,” the AO read. “The DA continually supports and encourages our local poultry industry stakeholders to comply with the government requirements while securing food safety and security, in compliance to the Republic Act [RA] 8485 as amended by RA 10631, R A 10631 or the Food Safety Act of 2013, other DA issuances related to the previously

mentioned laws,” it added. The DA noted that it has allowed the movement of poultry-related commodities subject to “additional safety measures such as but not limited to AI testing” to “ensure supply chain continuity and local food sufficiency,” while preventing further spread of AI Type A subtypes H5 and H7. “This Order shall take effect upon signing shall still be in effect until revoked in writing,” the document dated July 19 read. The Philippines culled nearly 300,000 birds, mostly chicken layers, to prevent the spread of AI in the country, BAI data as of June 24 showed. A total of 286,934 birds were culled by the government, of which 66.38 percent or about 190,468 were chicken layers, according to BAI data. BAI data showed that the government also culled 47,667 ducks, 27,574 quails, 750 native chickens and 575 other birds. The attached agency of the Department of Agriculture said a certain farm owner conducted a pre-emptive culling of 19,900 broiler breeders. The agency said the government has indemnified affected poultry farmers who received a total of P24.831 million. Based on its latest tally, BAI said bird flu cases in the country were confirmed in 95 barangays in 53 municipalities across 14 provinces in eight regions nationwide. The BAI said 133,160 birds died due to the disease, bringing the total death count (mortalities and culled) to 420,094 birds. Chicken layer accounted for the bulk of the recorded mortalities as of June 24 at 64,772 followed by quail at 55,616. As of June 24, there were 10 ongoing bird flu cases out of the 142 confirmed cases nationwide. The government has resolved 132 bird flu cases since the resurgence of highly pathogenic avian influenza in February. Jasper Emmanuel Y. Arcalas

US agri exports to PHL to reach record-level $3.8 billion this year By Jasper Emmanuel Y. Arcalas @jearcalas

HE United States Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Services (USDA-FAS) is keen that American agricultural exports to the Philippines this year would reach a record level of over $3.8 billion, its administrator said. USDA-FAS Administrator Daniel Whitley said he is “especially” optimistic for US agricultural exports to the Philippines this year for two reasons: value of goods have been high and demand for American agricultural goods have not waned. “I am always optimistic but I’m especially optimistic for this year for a couple of reasons. First, obviously we talked about value, prices have been somewhat high. Second, demand has not really fallen off so we do think that those projections would hold true,” Whitley told reporters recently. “I do think inflationary pressures on food and agriculture prices will allow the Philippines to open up the markets even further. Our products are safe and we think, without any unfair trade barriers, we can increase our exports. I think we will hit the

@llectura

N environmental non-profit think tank has reported that the Philippines has emerged as the only country in the region that has registered a 42 percent jump in CO2 emission from coal power generation since the signing of the 2016 Paris Agreement. In its July 6 report, Ember said that among the 10 Asean member-states, five countries—Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam—or the “Asean 5,” make up 89 percent of the region’s total electricity generation. Their combined numbers make their contribution crucial to achieving clean energy transition in the region. Further, solar and wind only make up 4 percent of Asean 5 electricity, compared to 10 percent globally. By 2030, Ember said the five countries’ share would go up to only 11 percent of the total generation. By 2030 Vietnam is expected to generate 18 percent solar and wind in total, the Philippines 16.5 percent, and Thailand 9.6 percent. Malaysia and Indonesia would reach 3.4 percent and 2 percent, respectively. The numbers, Ember said do not align with the Internaitonal Energy Agency (IEA) net-zero pathway. It added that recent trends show that if clean energy cannot keep up with the rising demand, fossil fuels will take over. “This is not enough to meet the rapidly rising demand for power and to put the region on the IEA’s 1.5 degree pathway. In fact, the report shows that clean power is not keeping pace with electricity demand. The Asean 5 saw their electricity demand

target [$3.5 billion], I really do,” Whitley added. The Philippines is the US’s eighthlargest market for agricultural exports, averaging $3.1 billion annually in the past five years, according to the USDA. In a recent Global Agricultural Information Network report, the USDA-FAS in Manila projected that US agricultural exports to the Philippines this year would grow by 8 percent to a record-high of $3.834 billion from last year’s $3.55 billion. “Despite shipping challenges, the United States remains the largest exporter of food and beverages. Post forecasts US food and beverage exports to grow 8 percent in 2022 with strong opportunities for milk, cheese, meat, poultry, baked products, fruits, vegetables, wine, and pet food,” the USDA-FAS Manila said. (Related story:https://businessmirror.com. ph/2022/07/11/us-agency-phl-fbsales-could-rise-6-to-26b-in-22/) Whitley noted that the US has been setting record export value of agriculture products to the Philippines for the past two years, indicating the “reliability” of the US suppliers even in times of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“This was during Covid and this was during supply chain disruptions. We’re excited to hear they value reliability and we’re excited to offer that characteristic from our agriculture industry,” he said. “The number one word we heard is reliability. In this time of uncertainty and unprecedented inflation hitting all sectors of the economy but especially the agriculture sector, we know our trading partners are looking for reliable suppliers and American agriculture has proven to be a reliable supplier during unprecedented circumstances,” he added. Whitley was in the Philippines, leading a US delegation for a four-day trade mission that sought to expand export prospects of US agriculture products to the Philippines. Together with Whitley was a delegation of representatives from 29 US agribusinesses and farm organizations as well as state agriculture officials. “The Philippines is an excellent market for US farm and food products, and we look forward to introducing a diverse group of companies and organizations to new export opportunities there,” Whitley said in a statement last week before the July 18 to 21 trade mission.

“US brands sell very well in the Philippines, where consumers regard our products as safe, reliable and of good quality. The United States has enjoyed a long and prosperous trading relationship with the Philippines and this mission is an ideal opportunity to further expand our exports there,” Whitley added. The USDA said participants during the four-day trade mission would “engage directly with potential buyers, receive in-depth market briefs from FAS and industry trade experts, and participate in site visits.” Some of the agribusinesses and organizations that present during the trade mission are California Blueberry Commission, California Milk Advisory Board, Flying Horse Services Inc., Food Export Association of the Midwest USA, Food Export USA, Groceries USA, National Pork Board, US Grains Council, and US Livestock Genetics Export Inc., among others. Aside from the 29 agribusinesses and organizations, the USDA said representatives from various US state agencies, particularly those involved in agriculture and food, were also part of the trade mission to the Philippines.

DENR, Korea explore tie up on satellite monitoring of Philippine environment

HE Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Republic of Korea are exploring collaboration on the use of communication satellites to monitor and protect the environment in the Philippines similar to the model being used in Korea. Korea is already using two systems for real-time monitoring of the environmental and weather conditions through satellite imagery and meteorological stations, according to Korean National Assembly Representative JO Myung-hee during her recent visit to the Philippines.

rise by 22 percent from 2015 to 2021. Less than half of that [39 percent] was met with clean electricity. Half [48 percent] was met with fossil fuels. This led to a 21 percent rise in power sector CO2 emissions,” it said. Ember cited the Philippines’s solar and wind power installations represent only 2.6 percent of total generation in 2021, compared to 4 percent Asean-wide and 10 percent globally. Based on the power sector development plan, the Philippines’s solar and wind share in the region will only increase to 16.5 percent by 2030. From 2015 to 2021, Ember said electricity demand in the country rose wherein only 12 percent has been met with clean electricity, while electricity from coal generation met 88 percent of the demand. The remaining 3 percent was met with gas generation. “The rise in clean electricity generation was driven by growth in solar and wind which saw a near-double increase in generation. On the other hand, coal power generation increased by 75 percent. Accordingly, its share jumped from 27 percent to 47 percent. It was the only country among Asean 5 to see a rise in coal generation every year since the Paris Agreement,” it said. Under current government policies, solar and wind are projected to supply only one tenth of total electricity generation in 2030. Ember Asia electricity data analyst Uni Lee said this is not nearly enough to meet the rapidly growing demand. “Rapid scaling-up of solar and wind and grid modernization is going to be a crucial piece of the puzzle to solve the climate crisis in this region.”

Orolfo and other DENR senior officials, namely, Lawyer Ernesto D. Adobo Jr., former Officer-in-Charge (OIC), DENR, and Maria Elena A. Morallos-Manila, Director of the Knowledge and Information Systems

Service (KISS) during her visit, welcomed JO Myung-hee. Present also in the meeting is Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) Philippines Office Assistant Country Director Kim Younlee. There are two ongoing KOICAfunded projects with the DENR. One is the Establishment of an Integrated Water Resources Management and Information System for the Pampanga River Basin Phase 2 (IWRMIS II) implemented by the National Water Resources Board (NWRB). The other project is the Enhancement of Marine Litter Management

in Manila Bay (EMLM) to be spearheaded by the Manila Bay Coordinating Office (MBCO). Representative JO Myung-hee is looking forward to this collaboration as well with other Philippine government agencies such as the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) and Pagasa. At present, the Philippines’s capability to monitor ground and surface conditions are through local weather stations of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) and the Geographic Information System (GIS) which generates analyses dependent on a particular location or coordinates on the ground.

Senate bill doubles government workers’ PERA from P2K to P4K By Butch Fernandez

@butchfBM

ONGRESS was asked to frontload passage of an enabling legislation doubling government workers’ Personnel Economic Relief Allowance (PERA) from P2,000 to P4,000 to enable 1.8-million state employees to cope with the double-whammy triggered by skyrocketing fuel prices amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

In filing Senate Bill No. 60 (SB60), Senator Francis Escudero also sought to “provide automatic yearly adjustment” in state workers allowance “equivalent to any increase of the annual inflation rate” to meet their needs. Stressing that the proposed double allowance was intended to provide economic relief for government workers, Escudero explained he filed a bill that will “raise to P4,000

from P2,000 the PERA of some 1.8 million government employees as a way of helping them cope with higher prices brought about by the lingering Covid-19 pandemic and fuel hikes.” As filed, Escudero recalled the PERA bill was originally introduced in the early 1990s as “a subsidy granted to all government workers as a form of assistance to help make ends meet in the face of economic crisis, as well as higher prices.” Moreover, he asserted “higher gasoline prices, higher transportation fares and higher prices of basic commodities since PERA’s inception have proven that PERA augments the earnings of a government worker not just as an emergency allowance, but as a major source of additional funding to be able to afford basic commodities.”

As proposed in the Escudero bill, he noted that PERA will still “cover all civilian government employees both in the local and national level whether appointive or elective, and whether occupying regular, contractual, or casual positions, whose positions are covered by Republic Act No. 6758, or the Compensation and Position Classification Act of 1989.” The senator added, “It shall also cover military and uniformed personnel, except for those who are stationed abroad that are already receiving overseas allowances.” Under Senate Bill 60, the first year of the augmented allowance’s implementation, the funds necessary for PERA of national and local government agencies shall be charged against savings estimated at P62 billion, representing unreleased appropriations and other

programmed appropriations. Thereafter, the Escudero bill also provides that “the amount necessary shall be provided in the annual General Appropriations Act [GAA].” In addition, Escudero explained that “looking after the welfare of government employees was among the commitments” he made during the election campaign in recognition of the government employees’ role in creating a bureaucracy that is efficient and effective. At the same time, Escudero is batting for increased PERA even as he expressed support for the plan of the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to “streamline and reorganize the bureaucracy seen to save P14.8 billion in annual government expenditure.” He, however, noted, “the DBM plan is on the right path, even as the

Pinay cleaner jailed for blackmail in Singapore By Malou Talosig-Bartolome @maloutalosig

FILIPINA cleaner was sentenced to two-month imprisonment for blackmailing her employer-turned-ex-lover in Singapore by threatening to expose their relationship and show his wife snapshots of his genitals. Melissa Bariga Cuizon pleaded guilty of criminal intimidation, prompting the Singaporean court to sentence her to jail for eight weeks on Monday, July 18, 2022, Today digital news portal in Singapore reported. The report said the complainant, a Singaporean married man, met the Filipina online when he was looking for the services of a part-time housekeeper on Facebook. Bariga Cuizon started working for the Singaporean on January 6 this

year. Then after a few weeks, the two began having a consensual sexual relationship and even exchanged “sexual photograph of themselves” to each other, Today quoted the prosecutor as saying. Then on February 5, Cuizon asked the Singaporean if she lend her S$3,500 (more than P120,000). “[Cuizon] lied that it was meant to repay a loan from a loan shark where she acted as a guarantor. The truth was, Bariga Cuizon wanted to use the money to repay a friend from whom she had borrowed money,” Today wrote. The Singaporean man refused, prompting Bariga Cuizon to threaten him that she would send the snapshots of his private parts to his wife and expose their relationship. “The man did not budge,” Today reported. It was not clear if the Filipina had

indeed sent the photo to his wife. But then she sent the nude photographs to another man, a certain “Adrian Wong” whom she allegedly had an online relationship. Adrian Wong used the photographs and tried to blackmail the Singaporean. These threats were used as part of the evidence in the complaint of the Singaporean man. Anyone found guilty of criminal intimidation can be jailed for up to two years or a fine, or both in Singapore. The court’s sentence against Bariga Cuizon apparently was lighter as the court needs to consider another criminal charge against her, i.e. distributing intimate image. Distributing intimate images or recordings is also a criminal offense in Singapore and punishable by imprisonment for up to five years, a fine, caning or any combination of the three.

DOJ chief calls for ‘improvements’ in criminal justice system By Joel R. San Juan @jrsanjuan1573

EWLY appointed Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla called for the “improvements” in the criminal justice system as he noted that the current 25 percent conviction rate for cases filed in courts could not be considered a passing rate. In a joint news briefing with Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. at Camp Crame in Quezon City, Remulla said the 25 percent conviction rate is an indication that enforcement and prosecution are not working well together. “The conviction rate right now is less than 25 percent for cases filed in criminal courts and this includes plea bargaining, which means we are not really getting a passing rate. This is

not a standard that we can live with. We have to change this drastically,” Remulla said. He stressed that getting high conviction rate would be a good deterrent against criminality. However, based on the 2021 annual report of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the National Prosecution Service, the prosecution arm of the DOJ, has maintained a high prosecution rate, with 92 percent of cases successfully prosecuted and resulting in convictions. The report also showed 88 percent of cases for preliminary investigation resolved within the prescribed period. “What is really needed is the certainty of punishment and when the conviction rate is very low then the certainty of punishment goes down, then the criminals have a heyday, an easy time with the law,” Remulla

pointed out. To address this predicament, Remulla said the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the DILG are looking into the possibility of coming out with a program for the retraining of law enforcement units in both remedial and substantive law such as on conducting surveillance, effecting an arrest, preserving the scene of the crime, processing a scene of the crime and processing the evidence. “All of these have to be restudied and re-inculcated and of course injected into the system in a more widespread manner meaning every police station should have that skill already from the very start…We have to have an efficient criminal justice system,” the justice chief said. For the prosecution, Remulla noted the apparent confusion on the Rules of the Court as to the quasi-judicial function of prosecutors.

senator acknowledged, “it would be a difficult process.” “They just have to pour in the time to study which positions are redundant or unnecessary and to make sure that those that may be affected are given proper compensation on top of whatever benefits from the GSIS [Government Service Insurance System] in order to help them get by and start anew amidst these trying economic times,” he said. Escudero, a former governor of Sorsogon reminded, “in so far as streamlining the local government units [LGUs] are concerned, the matter should be left to the provincial, city or municipal governments themselves,” stressing that “it should be totally up to them [as] this is part of devolution enshrined in our Constitution and the Local Government Code.”

Hike in benefit for virus-inflicted workers still undergoing review

HE proposed increase for the one-time sickness benefit for Covid-inflicted workers is still undergoing review for now, according to the Employees’ Compensation Commission (ECC). This after former President Rodrigo R. Duterte did not approve the proposal by the ECC Board earlier this year to raise the amount of the said financial aid for workers, who got infected while on duty, from P10,000 to P30,000. “It is now being reviewed by the Board. We had to go back to the Board members who approved it for comments,” ECC Executive Director Stella Banawis said in a Viber message. Among the factors that will be considered by the Board would be the “severity” of Covid-19 cases as well as the status of the government’s vaccination drive. “These [factors] will be extensively reviewed to determine if the current administration will still push through with the P30,000 cash assistance for Covid-19,” Banawis said. Currently, she said only 24,000 workers have availed of the said benefit. Another 14,000 workers have applied for the program, but Banawis said they were unable to accommodate the said applications for now due to lack of funds. ECC suspended accepting new applications for the Covid-related sickness benefit last January due to the said budget issues. Banawis said their request for additional funding for the said benefit is still pending for approval with the Department of Budget and Management. Samuel P. Medenilla

EJAP mourns passing of founding chief Aydinan, cites work as journo

HE Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines (EJAP) on Wednesday issued a statement mourning the passing of its founding chairman, veteran business journalist Abrino Aydinan, who died Tuesday. “Mr. Aydinan, who was then working for the

defunct Business Day publication, the precursor of BusinessWorld, was the one who made the bold suggestion in 1985 to create an organization of economic reporters,” said the statement by EJAP. The country’s preeminent organization of business journalists cited the account of EJAP’s history by the late Arleen Chipongian-Perez, also an EJAP Founding Member. She had recalled that Aydinan suggested the creation of the organization since their group of 15 junior reporters would always meet after work to talk shop. It was as simple as that, but what Mr. Aydinan did not yet realize then was that his simple suggestion would give birth to a 90-member strong institution that strives to always uphold excellence in business reporting. “The EJAP owes much to Sir Abring and we will forever be grateful for his contribution to the industry. As EJAP’s first president, his commitment and ‘intense intellectual’ prowess is recognized

by all as the moving spirit behind EJAP during its early years,” according to Fe dela Cruz who, like Sir Abring, was a former Business Day reporter/editor. She recalled that Sir Abring, a trade beat reporter, led journalists at the time to weigh in on the turbulent political issues of the 1980s, something business reporters rarely do. Another Founding Member, Chi Liquicia, former Daily Express reporter and Reuters correspondent, described Abring as “tahimik pero malalim [quiet but deep]” and very credible as EJAP leader, said Chipongian’s account. He was also director of the Department of Agrarian Reform and contributed to the success of the Cordillera Regional Consultative Commission as its chairman. “He will be remembered dearly,” she said. In expressing deepest condolences to Aydinan’s family and friends, EJAP said in its statement: “May we all find comfort in knowing that Sir Abring and his contributions to journalism will not be forgotten. We will always remember Arleen’s words: ‘Walang EJAP, if wala si Abring’ [There will be no EJAP if there is no Abring]. Sir Abring is survived by his wife, Socorro Queipo Aydinan; his children, Maimai-addi and Macliing Gabriel; and grandchildren, Manuel and Kurt.

Think tank urges govt to stick to RE, shun nuke power option By Lenie Lectura

@llectura

OCAL think-tank Center for Energy, Ecology, and Development (CEED) strongly urged incoming energy secretary Raphael Lotilla to focus on renewable energy (RE) over gas and nuclear. “Lotilla inherits the record-high power rates, dwindling energy security, and volatile supply and fuel prices that plague the energy sector today. The Philippines tempted this kind of trouble by massively expanding coal use in the last decade. It is now doing the same with fossil gas and liquefied natural gas [LNG],” said Gerry Arances, Executive Director of CEED. From 38 percent in 2010, coal’s share in the power generation mix increased to 57 percent in 2020. While the Department of Energy’s (DOE) moratorium on new coal power projects helped reduce the planned coal projects by nearly half, “another fossil fuel in the form of natural gas, which must be appropriately called fossil gas, and its liquid form liquefied natural gas, is touted as the new preferred fuel in the latest energy plans,” said CEED. Arances challenged Lotilla to reshape the country’s energy sector, saying RE should be his priority. “It makes no sense that we are preparing to receive large amounts of imported LNG as global prices continue to skyrocket and no clarity if there will be sufficient fuel supply to cover the Philippines’s power needs,” Arances added. CEED also said that nuclear “will bring more harm than good to the energy sector and consumers.” “Peddling nuclear energy as if it is the quick fix to our energy woes is dangerous because it glosses over the fact that the barriers to and risks associated with nuclear—including financial, social, and environmental

costs—outweigh the benefits. We are yet to see any plan on how to address costly nuclear waste disposal whose technology and upkeep required are never economical to begin with. Why should we import fuels such as uranium and plutonium for nuclear facilities when there are far safer and affordable renewable sources we should be developing?” said Arances. FormerPresidentRodrigo Duterte has signed Executive Order (EO) 164, which allows the country to include nuclear power in its energy mix. The EO should be solidified with the enactment of a law that will provide for the policy and regulation of nuclear plants, as well as the creation of an agency that shall focus on the laying down the foundations necessary for the inclusion of nuclear power in the country’s energy mix. “The next DOE chief should prioritize breaking off our overreliance on the importation of fuels—whether it be fossil or nuclear. The whole conversation about reviving nuclear is another distraction that is veering us away from the solution that is right in front of us which is renewable energy,” Arances added. Meanwhile, the Philippine Solar and Storage Alliance (PSSA) said the energy sector is in a period of transition towards a greener grid. “The leadership before [Lotilla] has already issued policies that put in place the mechanism for the injection of about 17 gigawatts solar energy by 2030. We will work with him in as we did in the past when solar energy was still deployed in offgrid and remote communities around the country,” said PSSA Chairperson Tetchi Capellan. The group, she said, will continue to find ways to lower the generation cost by introducing more efficient technologies, better business processes, and applying cost-saving measures.

Modern ‘digital army’: PA sustains shift to cutting-edge tech in ground warfare By Rene Acosta @reneacostaBM

HE Philippine Army (PA) is sustaining its transformation into a “digital army” as laid out by its commanding general, Lt. Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr., under the military’s modernization program by acquiring and mastering the use of cutting-edge technology in modern warfare. On Wednesday, the military’s primary ground force showcased its upgraded capabilities in the area of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Targeting Acquisition and Reconnaissance (C4ISTAR), which was witnessed by Brawner himself, other top military officials and Israeli representatives.

Program and Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). The data was also cross matched with the DA’s Financial Subsidy to Rice Farmers (DA-FSRF), DOLE’s Covid-19 Adjustment Measures Program (DOLE-Camp), and the Department of Finance’s and Social Security System’s Small Business Wage Subsidy Program (DOF-SSS-SBWSP). “The SAP’s second tranche was distributed only in areas that remained under the enhanced community quarantine [ECQ] classification,” the report stated. “This effectively excluded millions of first-tranche recipients who live in non-ECQ areas but nonetheless are part of the targeted 18 million families considered to be at risk of going hungry and impoverished due to loss of livelihood and incomes,” it explained.

HE latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey showed that 83 percent of Filipinos believe that the worst of Covid-19 is over. According to SWS, this percentage is higher as compared to the 80 percent surveyed in December 2021 and almost twice as high to the 44 percent when SWS first asked the question in a similar poll in May 2020. The SWS survey, using face-toface interviews conducted on April 19 to 27, stated that most of those who expressed that “the worst is behind us” were from Mindanao with 86 percent, Metro Manila with 82 percent, Balance Luzon with 82 percent, and Visayas with 81 percent.

The social protection programs of the government aimed to address the financial difficulties of Filipinos which peaked when the government implemented the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in 2020. Official government data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) showed the unemployment rate shot up to 17.6 percent while underemployment increased to 18.9 percent in April 2020. The country’s employment rate declined to only 82.4 percent in that month. The Labor Force Participation Rate hit a record low of 55.7 percent in April 2020. SocialWatch and Oxfam said the hardships of Filipinos were also compounded by the lack of Covid-19 test kits, making these prohibitive. Further, hospitals were barely able to contain the surge in coronavirus cases.

New DENR chief vows ‘ethical stewardship’ continued from a16 According to Yulo, the DENR will strive to make sure that legislation is evidence-informed and policies and programs involve consultation with our stakeholders. “Lastly, we strive for efficiency but also technical excellence in the conduct of our work, especially in government transactions, the use of our resources, and the digitization, hopefully, and modernization of our management systems. This will enhance the delivery of service and ensure the level of performance and the impacts that we want to achieve,” she said.

Natural resources accounting

THE DENR chief also emphasized the agency’s crucial role in the accounting of the country’s natural resources. That accounting, she said, will take place “very very soon” as the new administration’s agenda

moving forward planning begins. “This will in fact involve the use of science and technology, as well as the use of financial management and economics. That means we will have to work across the different Departments to achieve that foundation,” she said. Yulo-Loyzaga added that as DENR chief, she would like to build resilient communities along with other government agencies, to the risk-sensitive and balanced development of resources along with natural, rural, and urban transect. “These resources are part of our national patrimony. We need to treasure them and measure what we value,” she said. She said the DENR will work with cities which she described as engines of growth that depend largely on the ecosystems that support them to ensure inclusive development.

According to Army spokesman Col. Xerxes Trinidad, the demonstration of the Army’s capabilities in C4ISTAR operations was carried out by the PA’s Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Command and Control Communications, and Cyber Systems (OG6). The integration demonstration by the PA of its recently acquired C4ISTAR, which include a new battle management system platform, was carried out at the Army headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, in coordination with officials of Israel’s Elbit Systems. From howitzers to tanks, systems and technologies, Israel has been providing and sharing stateof-the art weapons and communications system to the Army, and even radar and missile systems to

the Navy and Air Force. Elbit Systems signed in 2019 a multimillion contract to help improve and upgrade the Army’ C4ISTAR proficiency in three components. The project also includes the delivery of unmanned aerial systems. The use, operation and upgrading of the military’s C4ISTAR capability through the delivery of modern equipment were a major overall component of the Armed Forces of the Philippines revised modernization program. Trinidad said that during the demonstration, the OG6 also simulated a tactical operations center by using C4ISTAR equipment. Meanwhile, teams from the PA’s First Scout Ranger Regiment (FSRR) and the Indonesian Army’s Komando

Cadangan Strategis Angkatan Darat (Kostrad) continued to sharpen their interoperability and capabilities in a broad range of military operations in the ongoing Training Activity Indonesia-Philippines (TA DOLPHINE XIV-2022) in West Java, Indonesia. Trinidad said the TA DOLPHINE XIV-2022,whichisbeinghelduntilJuly 24,focusesontheexchangeofinformation, tactics, technics and procedures in counterinsurgency operations. FSRR Chief of Staff Col. Samuel G. Yunque, during the staff exchange, discussed urban operations that focused on the Battle of Marawi, while Kostrad Deputy Intelligence Assistant Col. Muhammad Aidi shared lessons learned in their campaign against the Free Papua Separatist Movement in West Papua.

83% of Pinoys believe worst of Covid-19 is over–survey

Millions left out of Covid loan-funded aid programs continued from a16 Meanwhile, the P200-billion SAP distributed anywhere from P5,000 to P8,000—depending on the locality’s minimum wage rate—in two fund tranches in April and May 2020. However, for the second tranche, at least 2.7 million families were excluded from the emergency cash assistance while some 200,000 beneficiaries were found to be ineligible. The report added that only 3.2 million families of the 5-million waitlisted families that were left out in the first tranche, and were supposed to be included in the second tranche, were enlisted in the program. The report also claimed that at least 842,014 families received duplicate assistance. These families were identified after they were cross-matched with databases of the DSWD’s Emergency Subsidy

Climate emergency

L OY Z AG A , mea nwh i le h ig hlighted the need to combat the c l i m at e e m e r g e n c y t h r o u g h practical climate change adaptation measures, and the use of science to approach national and local scales impacts of climate change. “We live in a multihazard environment. Not just from natural hazards, but from industrial and natural technological hazards as well,” she explained. “ T he compounding of this hazard has led to the development of systemic risk and threat to our entire social and economic system. Finally, we should strive to continuously protect our indigenous species as part of our natural heritage and at the same time harness these resources for the benefit of our country,” she said.

There were 1,440 poll respondents nationwide with 360 each in Balance Luzon, Metro Manila, Visayas, and Mindanao with sampling error margins of ±2.6 percent for national percentages and ±5.2 percent for Balance Luzon, Metro Manila, Visayas, and Mindanao. The SWS survey showed that 16 percent feared that “the worst is yet to come.” This is lower are compared to the 19 percent in December 2021.

“On the other hand, the percentage of those fearing ‘the worst is yet to come’ is slightly higher in the Visayas [18 percent], Balance Luzon [18 percent], and Metro Manila [17 percent] than in Mindanao [12 percent],” the SWS survey showed. On the other hand, 88 percent of Filipinos are worrying about catching Covid-19, 74 percent a great deal worried, 14 percent somewhat worried and 12 percent “a little wor-

ried/not worried,” 4 percent a little worried, 8 percent not worried that anyone in their immediate family might catch Covid-19. “Compared to past SWS surveys, worry about catching Covid-19 is much greater than worries about catching previous viruses such as Ebola, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome [SARS],” the survey, released on July 20, said.
