‘HAPPINESS YOU CAN EAT’ PHL ascends to the world stage in cacao, chocolate production

D

By Manuel T. Cayon

AVAO CITY—There’s no better road to Philippine glory, at least in making the global royalty food— chocolate, that is—than to start it all in the farm.

This is the gem held dear by the caretaker-owner of the Malagos cacao farm, just at the back of the equally world-famous Malagos Gardens of cutflowers and orchids.

Chocolate-maker Rex Victor P. Puentespina pointed to good farm practice and crop care as key to excellent cacao beans quality for fine chocolate products. “However good a chef, or chocolate maker…one cannot produce an excellent chocolate if the raw material itself is the problem.”

Global chocolate experts emphasized this to the exhibit team from the Malagos Agri-Ventures Corp., when they were surprised at the “very good and fruity flavor” of Philippine-made Malagos chocolates at the international trade fair in Berlin, Germany, in 2015.

Puentespina said the chocolate connoisseurs in Europe were awed by the taste of the Malagos chocolates, the first of any Philippine chocolates in any global trade fair, and remarked that these have a lot of potential in

the world market.

“The opportunity would be opened wide further if there would be improvement in the fermentation process and post-harvest handling to develop good flavored chocolates,” he would recall later in that first international attendance of the company in an international chocolate fair.

Motivation

IT’S not the honor or the prestige that drove the Puentespina family to join the European and other international competitions. While these naturally come when judges and jurors recognize the product of diligence and care, the primary motive yet was to seek feedback and suggestions for further improving the Malagos chocolates.

“People and experts would, of course, go around the booths and take a taste of your product. Some would leave, some would linger and give their feedback,” he told the

BusinessMirror on Wednesday.

And so, on that first international foray, experts told them about exploring farm practice to produce good quality beans.

Indeed, he said, “we agree and believe that the search for a fine and excellent chocolate product begins in the farm to produce that good product material.”

Because the Philippines, especially the Davao area, already possessed that good genetic material, Puentespina focused subsequent actions onto good agricultural practice, and on post-harvest techniques in drying, grading and sifting through the good and bad beans, the ripe and overripe beans.

That goes also for the farmers around its farm. Malagos chocolates do not solely rely on the cacao trees inside the 24-hectare farm in Baguio District. The cacao beans are also gathered from cacao farmers around.

“We relay the suggestions and the technology we gathered,” he added.

Several competitions later and after meticulously following good farm practice, what was initially only considered “bonus” recognition has become the norm: the Malagos chocolates drew raves, distinction and awards that put the name of the Philippines in the spotlight, in a place where Europe has dominance of the industry.

Through the Outbound Business Matching Missions (OBMMs) service of the Department of Trade and Industry-Export Marketing Bureau (DTI-EMB), Malagos Chocolate was one of seven micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that participated in the Salon du Chocolat. The first participation of the Philippines in the event was in 2017.

Salon du Chocolat recognized them to be among the Top 50 submissions in the 166 entries from 40 countries of the International Cocoa Awards, a first for any Philippine producer for the Cacao of Excellence.

According to the report from PTIC-Paris, the company has booked an initial sale per month with a British company for the supply of dark chocolates. The first participation also paved the way for awareness of Philippine cacao beans and chocolates in a globally competitive arena.

The DTI also congratulated Malagos Chocolate for showcasing the excellence of Philippine cacao at the World Drinking Chocolate Competition 2020 in Hannover, Germany. The results were announced on October 25 during the virtual Schokoladen Gourmet Festival where Malagos Chocolate claimed four Gold awards in the categories of Growing Country, Chocolate Maker, Direct Traded, but most importantly, the top prize in the Plain/Origin Drinking Chocolate Dark category that bested entries from all over the world.

Validation of excellence

TRADE Secretary Ramon Lopez said, “This is a validation of our nation’s never-ending quest for excellence in the field of cacao farming and chocolate-making.”

as well as local farmers like Puentespina and her family company, Malagos Agri-Ventures Corp., to promote Philippine chocolates in the world market,” he added.

Radiating excellence

“We agree and believe that the search for a fine and excellent chocolate product begins in the farm to produce that good product material.”

CHOCOLATE-MAKER REX VICTOR P. PUENTESPINA

Rex Puentespina, managing director of Malagos Chocolate, said, “It goes to show that our chocolate is world-class and makes you proud to be a cacao grower.”

Last year the Malagos chocolates and cacao farms added a singular global distinction when it was designated a Heirloom Cacao Preservation (HCP) Fund farm.

The HCP is considered the world’s “diamond standard” related to cacao farming.

According to its web site, it was launched in 2012 in partnership with the US Department of Agriculture and the Fine Chocolate Industry Association in response to the global pressures of environmental change, deforestation, and economic influences threatening the world’s supply of high quality, flavorful cacao.

HCP’s mission was to identify and preserve fine flavor heirloom cacao for the preservation of biological diversity and the empowerment of farming communities, which, it said, “is now more important than ever as the world grapples with a rapidly changing climate.”

Puentespina said this heirloom distinction “is another celebration of hard work in the name of Philippine chocolate.”

The announcement was made during the FCIA Elevate Chocolate Event-Winter 2019 in San Francisco on January 12 last year.

“To become a designated ‘heirloom cacao’ is an incredibly high standard to meet,” he stressed. “We are elated to be part of this very small group of farmers who have been given this designation as Heirloom Cacao. We are only the 16th to be given this honor, and the first in the Philippines,” said Puentespina’s mother, Charita Puentespina, who started the family venture with her cutflowers and tropical plants, that later branched out to chocolates when the family bought a cacaoplanted farm at the back of her Malagos Gardens in Baguio District.

Puentespina Farms’ entry was designated the 16th heirloom cacao in the world by a super majority of the HCP’s tasting panel.

Galleon trade commemoration

REX also announced that “two grand ladies of chocolate marked a historic event at Salon du Chocolat in Paris, France: Doña Demetria Gutierrez of Mexico gave a symbolic baby cacao tree from Mexico to Charita Puentespina, founder and president of the Philippines’s Malagos Agri-Ventures

Corp., makers of the award-winning Malagos Chocolate.

What was symbolic in this October 31, 2019, meeting was that it commemorated the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade, the historic trade route which facilitated the exchange of goods between the Philippines and Mexico during the Spanish colonial era. Gutierrez and Puentespina are both cacao farmers in their respective countries.

The event was held at the Podium at the Porte De Versailles during the Salon Du Chocolat, the world’s largest event related to chocolate and cacao from cocoa-producing countries around the world.

Puentespina recalled that cacao was first introduced to the Philippines from Mexico via the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade (1565-1815). Although the exact variety of the Theobroma cacao brought to the Philippines is hard to determine, what was certain was that the crop thrived in Philippine growing conditions, considering that the country is located within the narrow band in the equatorial belt where cacao grows best.

“The chocolate business in the Philippines has experienced a resurgence of late, owing to the efforts of the Philippine government,

THIS year, the House Committee on Agriculture and Food approved three bills declaring the Province of Catanduanes as the Abaca Capital of the Philippines, City of Davao as the Chocolate and Cacao Production Capital of the Philippines and Municipality of San Jose in the Province of Batangas as the Egg Basket of the Philippines.

Deputy Speaker Conrado Estrella III said he filed his House Bill 7469 to acknowledge the Malagos Farm and chocolate industry in gaining international recognition for producing world-class chocolate products.

He said the Davao City-based Malagos Chocolate won for the country the honor of winning second place for its 100-percent unsweetened dark chocolate under drinking category, and third place for its sweetened dark chocolates in the international chocolate competition conducted in 2017 by the Academy of Chocolate in London.

To date, he added, Malagos has won seven major international awards for its chocolate products, thereby earning for the country international recognition as a worldclass chocolate producer.

“The City of Davao and the provinces of Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley produce at least 81 percent of the country’s total cacao production,” he said.

“The success of Davao Citybased Malagos Chocolate and the high cacao production in Davao City and contiguous provinces gives the Philippines a competitive advantage in high-quality chocolate and cacao production in the Asian region,” he said.

For Puentespina, who considers himself a farmer and chocolate maker, the congressional action would have significant importance, including the inspiration, as well as pressure, on farmers to ensure better farm practice to produce worldclass material for chocolates.

Shortly before the Covid-19

pandemic, the Malagos Agri-Ventures Corp. was supplying both the domestic market and its buyers in Europe and North America with about 30 tons, a far cry from about 500 kilos to 800 kilos when it started chocolate production in 2012.

That time, it was helped by an Indonesian team to rehabilitate the old cacao trees and by a nongovernment organization from Holland.

The Malagos Agri-Ventures Corp. began to revisit its farms about three months ago as quarantine restrictions were eased up, but production remained at a standstill. “Our domestic markets are the first and hardest hit by the pandemic. These are the airports, specialty coffee shops, hotels and pasalubong centers,” Puentespina said.

But they are reviving the business again, helped mainly by the long shelf life of cacao beans, at six months to one year after fermenting, and the chocolates themselves, at two years.

“This way, they would not bring distinction to themselves but to the country as well, if we become globally known for quality cacao beans,” he said.

Right now, the Philippines is still a minor player in cacao beans production in the world. The main actors on the production stage are still South American countries like Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica and Brazil, the same countries that are hounding the Philippine markets for its bananas.

Madagascar, Ivory Coast and Ghana are also the other countries in Africa that helped congest the supply market, as well as Vietnam and Papua New Guinea of Asia.

But Puentespina said, “Our chocolates are made from tree-tobar through the efforts of many people, most especially the farmers who nourish and cultivate our cacao trees. The entire process of sowing, tending, harvesting, fermenting, drying, sorting, roasting and producing the chocolate is done right in our farm, giving our products a more distinctive and pronounced taste,” he added.

“Join us in our journey as we help put the Philippines on the chocolate map of the world,” Puentespina exhorted any one who cared.

Lockdown 2.0 shows Europe’s businesses are learning from the pandemic

By Catherine Bosley & Alexander Weber | Bloomberg News

E

UROPEAN small businesses that survived the first coronavirus lockdowns are getting creative to weather the second wave and the longterm fallout from the pandemic.

Faced with the prospects of another recession and uncertainty over how long the crisis may last, firms are fighting to retain existing customers and hunting for new ones to stay afloat. Many have learned from the painful experience of the first lockdown to navigate some of the drastic long-term changes to work and consumer behavior brought about by the virus.

In Brussels, Laurent Gerbaud was determined not to be caught out again after his downtown tea room had to close during the initial outbreak. His plan amid the pandemic-induced recession was simple, if unexpected: expand.

With fewer tourists and office workers in the city center, he opened a second shop in a residential neighborhood to capture more business from the work-fromhome crowd, responding to one of the big changes of 2020, and one that may persist.

“It’s very different from the first confinement. We are much more ready,” Gerbaud said.

Damage limitation

WHILE the current rounds of restrictions are expected to cause the

euro-area economy to shrink this quarter, they’re less severe than the blanket lockdown imposed in March. The wide usage of masks, better testing, and social distancing rules are allowing more businesses to stay open.

For many, however, it’s about damage limitation until a vaccine arrives. That won’t be easy.

A report by McKinsey last month showed that one in five small business owners fear they’ll default on a loan. More than half worried their business wouldn’t survive longer than five months.

In response, lobby groups are demanding more government support. Cesare Fumagalli, the head of Italy’s trade association for artisans and small businesses, this week pushed the government to widen protection, saying it “needs to fund all the businesses that have suffered grave revenue losses.”

Backbone

THE future of small businesses is vital for the euro area. They constitute the backbone of the region’s economy, accounting for about half of employment. Companies employing less than 50 people account

for 99 percent of all non-financial enterprises in Europe.

One sector doing well is manufacturing, which helped to lead Europe’s economic recovery in recent months as services—particularly hotels and restaurants— faced setbacks.

But even there it’s far from all clear. A survey by German industry body DIHK found that one in five engineering firms faces a liquidity squeeze. Nearly half were scaling back investment, unwilling to commit much-needed funds at a

time of heightened uncertainty.

That caution is on display at German industrial fan-maker EBM Papst, even though it didn’t need government loans and no longer has staff on furlough programs.

We are “keeping investments and expenditures down, because we don’t know yet how sustainable business levels are,” said Chief Executive Officer Stefan Brandl.

Innovate

FOR retailers, the immediate worry is the Christmas season, when they

make a huge chunk of annual revenue. While economists at JPMorgan Chase & Co. have said they expect activity to bounce back ahead of the holiday season, governments aren’t so sure. France will only gradually lift its lockdown, with bars and restaurants remaining closed beyond the initial December 1 end date, and Italy will continue its regional lockdown system, with various levels, through the winter.

In Rome, Sarah Petrucci is busy putting together contingency plans.

Her toy store Il Pesciolino Rosso is on a small cobbled street near the Spanish Steps, an area normally packed with tourists. That business is gone, while the semilockdown has wiped out much of the local trade, too.

To combat an exodus of clients to larger online shopping sites, Petrucci is pushing a personalized approach and using food delivery app Glovo to hold onto clients. The store sends emails with photos of new toys and special offers. All it takes is a few clicks and the toys are wrapped and packed, handed to a Glovo runner and sent across town.

“We try to innovate,” said Petrucci. “If a client is close I deliver personally. If they want to see new things in the store I can videoconference with them and show them around so they can pick things they like.”

But for some businesses, the options to adapt are limited because they can’t survive without customers coming in the door. The optimism that Spanish businesswoman Maria Teresa Coris tried to hold onto earlier this year has vanished, just like the tourists on the Mediterranean coast where she runs a 24-room hotel in the town of Tossa de Mar. Coris is wary of tapping more government-backed loans state because she doesn’t want to keep accumulating debt.

“Companies can try to do all they can to survive, but they might still end up in ruin,” she said.

“That’s the dark cloud we all have hanging over us.”

Europe has half of world’s 4-M new virus cases but sees hope

By Jamey Keaten

G

The Associated Press

ENEVA—Europe made up almost half of the world’s 4 million new coronavirus cases last week but recorded a nearly 10-percent fall in infections compared to the week before, thanks in part to strict government lockdown measures that have fanned some discontent, the World Health Organization reported.

In the German capital of Berlin, violent clashes between those protesting coronavirus restrictions and police erupted on Wednesday near the city center after protesters disregarded police advice to wear masks and social distance.

The latest weekly tally from the UN health agency found its 54-nation European region continued to report most new cases of any region worldwide—46 percent—but its decline in cases followed “the strengthening of public health and social measures.” But as new cases fell, the tally of virus deaths still rose “substantially” in Europe over the last week to more than 29,000 new deaths, WHO said.

WHO’s Americas region saw a

41-percent increase in new cases, suggesting that a higher weekly death toll could soon follow there.

Southeast Asia was the only region that saw a drop in cases and deaths.

In Europe, WHO said the sharpest rise in coronavirus cases was in Austria, which saw a 30 percent increase in new cases compared to the previous week. WHO also noted the UK was the first country in the region to record more than 50,000 deaths.

Pockets of Western Europe have shown signs of turning a corner, particularly in the lowlands near the English Channel.

Belgium said Wednesday it had taken a major step in containing the resurgence of the coronavirus,

A medical operator prepares to perform Covid-19 test swabs in the Church of San Severo Outside the Walls, in the heart of Naples, Italy on November 18, 2020. An initiative of “Sanita’ Diritti Salute” association and the San Gennaro Foundation aimed at helping those who cannot afford the cost of a private test, it also allows, in the best tradition of Naples, those who want to pay 18 euros for a “suspended swab,” to be taken by somebody else, exactly as it happens for the famous Neapolitan “suspended coffee.” Alessandro Pone /LaPresse via AP

reporting a drop in the daily death count for the first time since the latest Covid-19 wave hit this autumn.

Virologist Steven Van Gucht, from the government’s Sciensano health group, said Belgium’s daily average of virus deaths now stood at 185, a 5-percent decrease compared to the average a week ago. Over the last week, the daily average of hospital admissions dropped 24 percent and new infections fell 39 percent.

Officials in the Netherlands, to the north, were easing coronavirus restrictions amid falling infection rates, and were poised to reopen venues like cinemas, museums, libraries, zoos and swimming

pools—still with limitations on how many people can visit—after a two-week closure.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte hailed a “positive” downward trend but said case counts were still too high. He warned the country to remain on a partial lockdown. In mid-October, Dutch rates of infection were among the worst in Europe.

Sw it zerl and, whic h has regi stered some of t he h ighest transmission rates in the world in recent weeks, on Wednesday stepped up gover nment sup por t to help people a f fected by t he v ir us a nd by loc kdow n measu res—including an extra 1

billion Swiss francs in state aid— even as case counts eased back from recent peaks.

The Alpine country counted over 6,000 new cases over the last day, down from a peak of more than 10,000 daily cases in October. Economic Affairs Minister Guy Parmelin cited a “more optimistic horizon” in Switzerland on Wednesday.

Regional officials in Geneva noted a “plateau” in positive Covid-19 tests in recent days and on Wednesday eased some restrictions on hairdressers, tattoo parlors, therapists and personal trainers, among others.

Meanwhile, some people in

Germany were growing increasingly restive about the prospect of increased lockdown measures.

In Berlin, police fired water cannons Wednesday at demonstrators and carried away some who were protesting coronavirus restrictions near the famed Brandenburg Gate and the seat of the federal government. The melee erupted after crowds ignored calls to wear masks and keep their distance from one another in line with pandemic rules.

It came as German lawmakers were debating a bill that could provide the legal groundwork for the government to issue social distancing rules, require masks in public and close stores and other venues to slow the spread of the virus. Most people in Germany support such rules, but a vocal minority has staged regular rallies arguing that the restrictions violate the constitution.

“We want our lives back,” read one sign carried by protesters in Berlin.

Germany was praised for its handling of the first wave of the virus, but like many parts of Europe has seen a sharp uptick in new infections in recent weeks. Overall the country has seen 833,000 coronavirus cases and more than 13,000 virus-confirmed deaths, a death toll one-fourth that of Britain’s.

Europe has seen over 338,000 confirmed virus deaths in the pandemic, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. AP

Nobel-winning WFP head says 2021 will be worse than 2020

By Edith M. Lederer

U

The Associated Press

NITED NATIONS—The head of the World Food Program says the Nobel Peace Prize has given the UN agency a spotlight and megaphone to warn world leaders that next year is going to be worse than this year, and without billions of dollars “we are going to have famines of biblical proportions in 2021.”

David Beasley said in an interview with The Associated Press that the Norwegian Nobel Committee was looking at the work the agency does every day in conflicts, disasters and refugee camps, often putting staffers’ lives at risk to feed millions of hungry people—but also to send “a message to the world that it’s getting worse out there... [and] that our hardest work is yet to come.”

“It was so timely because we’ve been fighting to get above the choir,” Beasley said of last month’s award, pointing to the news being dominated by the US elections and the Covid-19 pandemic, and the difficulty of getting global attention focused on “the travesty that we’re facing around the world.”

“So this was really a gift from above,” Beasley said, recalling the surprise and delight of WFP’s 20,000 staffers worldwide, and his own shock at being interrupted during a meeting in Niger in Africa’s Sahel region with the news.

Beasley recalled his warning to the UN Security Council in April that as the world was dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, it was also “on the brink of a hunger pandemic” that could lead to “multiple famines of biblical proportions” within a few months if immediate action wasn’t taken.

“We were able to avert it in 2020...because the world leaders responded with money, stimulus packages, deferral of debt,” he said.

Now, Beasley said, Covid-19 is surging again, economies are continuing to deteriorate particularly in low- and middle-income countries, and there is another wave of lockdowns and shutdowns.

But he said the money that was available in 2020 isn’t going to be available in 2021, so he has been using the Nobel to meet leaders virtually and in person, talk to parliaments, and give speeches to sensitize those with power to “this tragedy that we are facing—crises that really are going to be extraordinary over the next, who knows, 12 to 18 months.”

“Everybody now wants to meet with the Nobel Peace Prize winner,” Beasley said, explaining he now gets 45 minutes instead of 15 minutes with leaders and is able to go into depth and explain how bad things are going to be next year and how leaders are going to have to prioritize programs. “And the response has really been good,” he said.

“I’m telling them you’re not going to have enough money to fund all the projects you historically fund,” he said.

“Those are important things,” Beasley said, but he likened the upcoming crisis to the Titanic say ing “r ight now, we rea l ly need to focus on icebergs, and icebergs are famine, starvation, destabilization and migration.”

Beasley said WFP needs $15 billion next year—$5 billion just to avert famine and $10 billion

to carry out the agency’s global programs including for malnourished children and school lunches which are often the only meal youngsters get.

“If I could get that coupled with our normal money, then we avert famine around the world” and minimize destabilization as well as migration, he said.

In addition to raising extra money from governments, Beasley said, his other “great hope” is that billionaires that have made billions during the Covid-19 pandemic will step up on a one-time basis. He plans to start pushing this message probably in December or January.

In April, Beasley said 135 million people faced “crisis levels of hunger or worse.” A WFP analysis then showed that Covid-19 could push an additional 130 million people “to the brink of starvation by the end of 2020.”

He said in Wednesday’s virtual interview from Rome, where WFP is based, that while famine was averted this year, the number of people facing crisis levels of hunger is increasing toward 270 million.

“There’s about three dozen countries that could possibly enter the famine conditions if we don’t have the money we need,” Beasley said.

According to a joint analysis by WFP and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in October,

20 countries “are likely to face potential spikes in high acute food insecurity” in the next three to six months, “and require urgent attention.”

Of those, Yemen, South Sudan, northeastern Nigeria and Burkina Faso have some areas that “have reached a critical hunger situation following years of conflict or other shocks,” the UN agencies said, and any further deterioration in coming months “could lead to a risk of famine.”

Other countries requiring “urgent attention” are Afghanistan, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Lebanon, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Sierra Leone, Somali, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, they said.

Beasley said a Covid-19 vaccine “will create some optimism that hopefully will help jump the economies around the world, particularly the Western economies. But the WFP executive director said there’s already been $17 billion of economic stimulus this year “and we’re not going to have that globally.”

“We’re very, very, very concerned ” that with deferred debt payments for low- and middleincome countries resuming in Januar y, new lockdow ns and the rippling economic impact, “2021’s going to be a very bad year,” Beasley said. AP

Scientist who saved Japan once now battles new Covid-19 surge

H

aving mocked him at first for his theories on how the coronavirus spread, the world came to recognize the effectiveness of Japanese scientist Hitoshi Oshitani’s “Three C’s” approach to the pandemic: avoiding closed spaces, crowded places and close contact situations where the virus thrives.

It’s a strategy that’s helped Japan avoid thousands of deaths without a lockdown—but one that’s now being challenged with infections rapidly escalating as cold weather sets in. Oshitani fears the nation may not be ready.

“People’s concern is decreasing,” Oshitani, a virologist and infectious disease specialist, said in an interview with Bloomberg News. “We may see a sudden increase in severe cases and deaths.”

Oshitani has become a global ambassador of the “Japan Model” thanks to his prescient insight into how the virus was transmitted. While most public health experts focused on hand-washing and surface transmission, and other countries debated over wearing masks, as early as March Oshitani concentrated on tracking down clusters of infections and ensuring people avoid the Three C’s.

As a result, the virus toll in Japan has been a fraction of that in the US and many European countries, even as life largely returned to normal.

Japan has recorded around 124,000 cases in total and the country, which has the oldest population in the world, has faced fewer than 2,000 deaths.

Now the nation finds itself faced with a resurgent and growing outbreak, with cases hitting another record on Thursday and the capital Tokyo posting its highest-ever numbers two days in a row. Local officials around the country have begun eyeing stricter measures to limit business hours, though authorities are limited in the steps they can take as the constitution doesn’t provide the legal power to enforce lockdown restrictions.

But Oshitani worries it’s becoming harder to influence behavior compared to the spring, when the unknown menace of the pandemic forced people to change their own habits. While many countries are struggling with lockdown fatigue, Japan’s position is unusually perilous—without the ability to enforce restrictions, it’s dependent on people’s cooperation with voluntary measures.

“I don’t think this virus will go away in the coming months, and probably the coming years, so we have to find the best way to live with this,” he said. “And that’s what we are still struggling with—to find the best way.”

Early realization

From the very start, Oshitani took the approach that the new coronavirus was one that couldn’t be eliminated, only controlled. This was in contrast to the SARS outbreak, which he coordinated the Asian response against while working at the Western Pacific office of the World Health Organization.

“In the very beginning, he said there was no way to crush this virus—rather, humanity had to rethink their current way of living from the very core,” said Kaori Muto, a professor at the University of Tokyo, who worked with Oshitani on a group advising the government.

By analyzing preliminary data from Japan’s health centers and the Diamond Princess cruise ship as well as through discussion with his WHO contacts, Oshitani quickly narrowed in on the possible transmission tendencies of the new coronavirus, working together with Hiroshi Nishiura, an expert in mathematical modeling of infectious diseases currently at Kyoto University.

Oshitani also relied on intuition developed through his past work—remembering a research meeting at the WHO documenting that influenza, typically transmitted via droplets and contact, could be airborne for short distances. That led him to hypothesize the same might apply for the virus that had just emerged from Wuhan.

Months ahead of peers, Oshitani and Nishiura realized the virus would spread most easily in poorly ventilated indoor environments, and designed the Three C’s strategy to tackle this source of transmission. The WHO didn’t acknowledge airborne transmission until July.

Most infected people wouldn’t transmit the coronavirus to others, the Japanese scientists observed, while unlike influenza, a small group of super-spreaders could be responsible for huge numbers of infections. Instead of rushing to ramp up testing and identify every person infected as officials did in other countries, Japanese authorities focused instead on breaking up clusters of the disease.

And they noted how the virus could spread among carriers free of symptoms, likely not to even know they were infectious.

While many of those ideas are now commonplace among public health officials, they weren’t generally accepted at the time.

“Most people believed that it’s spreading like influenza, and Oshitani’s theories were just his imagination—or his delusion,” said Tomoya Saito, director of the Department of Health Crisis Management at the National Institute of Public Health.

SARS experience

While the outlier response meant Japan’s initial success was met with bemusement, skepticism or treated as a mystery, Oshitani has since become a regular speaker on the public health circuit. Last week, he addressed more than 200 US state and local officials at a Harvard University webinar to share data on Japan’s contact tracing methods, and almost every day takes interviews from media across the world.

“It’s because of his efforts and the way he presents his data that we understand so much about what can be done in the Covid situation today,”said David Heymann, a professor of infectious disease epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine who has worked with the WHO for decades.

Oshitani, an unassuming and bespectacled 61-year-old, is at times hardly distinguishable from the average salaryman. A field epidemiologist by training, Oshitani cut his teeth working for Japan’s development agency in Zambia, and has spent most of his career as an academic, currently affiliated with Tohoku University. He’s far less well-known in his native country than other top infectious disease officials like Anthony Fauci in the US, and unlike Sweden’s Anders Tegnell, no one is tattooing his image on their bodies.

But those who worked with Oshitani say his early sense of urgency, constantly badgering government officials to do more, was crucial to Japan’s response.

Oshitani remains an iconoclast in some of his thinking. He’s not worried about finding every individual case of the virus in Japan—he’s criticized Western nations for their mass-testing approach, arguing it makes contact-tracing impossible. It’s likely, he says, that Japan’s case count only reflects a third to half of the real infection numbers, and might even be closer to 1 million.

Oshitani’s true fear is missing a cluster of infections that could trigger an uncontrollable spread of the virus in Japan, one that would hit the nearly one-third of the country’s population that is over the age of 65, and overwhelm the health system.

That’s becoming more plausible as clusters pop up in multiple areas across Japan, threatening to stretch his model to breaking point.

And should that happen, with authorities severely limited in how much they can compel cooperation, Japan has to hope that its residents can snap out of pandemic fatigue, and that voluntary compliance can bring things under control again.

“The number of cases can jump anytime within one or two weeks,” Oshitani said. “If we wait until the number of cases reach a certain point, it may be too late.” Bloomberg News

Samsung intensifies chip wars, invests $116B to match TSMC S

amsung Electronics Co. is pouring $116 billion into its next-generation chip business that includes fabricating silicon for external clients, betting it can finally close the gap on industry leader Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. as soon as two years from now.

South Korea’s biggest company will mass-produce 3-nanometer chips in 2022, a senior executive at its foundry division told attendees at an invite-only event last month. That target, which hasn’t previously been reported, means it’s on a path to start churning out the industry’s most advanced semiconductors the same year as its Taiwanese rival expects to pass that milestone. Samsung is already developing initial design tools with key partners, Park Jae-hong, executive vice president of foundry design platform development, told conference delegates.

If Samsung succeeds, that will be a breakthrough for its ambition to become the chipmaker of choice for the likes of Apple Inc. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. that now rely on foundries like TSMC. The business isn’t new to Samsung, which was the first manufacturer of Apple’s A-series iPhone processors, but the company’s renewed push is now shepherded by billionaire heir Jay Y. Lee, who wants to see it establish tech leadership across advanced sectors like chipmaking and 5G networking to power its next phase of growth.

Park’s comments suggest Samsung is accelerating its bid to compete with iPhone-chipmaker TSMC, one of the biggest beneficiaries of this year’s wave of stayat-home demand for personal electronics.

“To actively respond to market trends and lower the design barrier for competitive systems-on-chip

development, we’ll keep innovating our cutting-edge process portfolio, while strengthening Samsung’s foundry ecosystem through close collaboration with partners,” Samsung’s Park told attendees, according to people at the event.

Samsung’s aim is in line with TSMC’s target of offering volume production of 3nm chips in the second half of 2022. But the Korean company also hopes to go one better by adopting what’s known as the Gate-All-Around technique, regarded by some as game-changing technology that can more precisely control current flows across channels, shrink chip areas and lower power consumption. TSMC had opted for the more established FinFET structure for its 3nm lines.

“Samsung is catching up to TSMC very fast and it seeks to achieve dominance over its competitor by adopting the new technology for the first time,” said Rino Choi, a professor of materials science and engineering at Inha University. “However, if Samsung can’t improve production yields of the advanced node fast in an initial stage, it may lose money.”

Already the world’s largest maker of computer memory and displays, Samsung wants a bigger share of the $250 billion foundry and logic-chip industry that’s set for accelerated growth with the advent of artificial intelligence and fifth-generation wireless technology. In 2019, TSMC controlled more than half of the contract chipmaking market while Samsung had just 18 percent, according to TrendForce data.

Lee has taken a close interest in the matter. He flew to ASML Holding NV’s headquarters in the Netherlands last month to discuss supply of its extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machines, gear that’s indispensable

Samsung was the first manufacturer of Apple’s A-series iPhone processors. The company is pouring $116 billion into its next-generation chip business in an effort to close the gap on industry leader TSMC. Bloomberg to the creation of the most advanced semiconductors.

Other top executives have toured major cities from San Jose to Munich and Shanghai, hosting foundry forums and negotiating deals.

Some analysts question Samsung’s ability to carve out a significant share of a market dominated

by TSMC, which spends some $17 billion annually to ensure it remains at the forefront of both technology and sheer capacity. For its part, Samsung’s semiconductor division plans to spend $26 billion on capital expenditure in 2020, but that’s been largely in support of its dominant memory business and not all of its expertise in making memory is directly relevant to creating advanced logic chips.

Processors are more complex to manufacture

than memory and their production yields are harder to control and scale up in the same way. Foundry customers also require bespoke solutions, imposing another barrier to rapid expansion and also making Samsung dependent on customers’ designs. But the Korean giant can draw confidence from its work with Nvidia Corp., whose chief executive officer sung the praises of collaborating with Samsung on customizing the manufacturing process for its latest graphics card silicon.

The risks and initial setup costs have whittled down the number of companies capable of even competing in the EUV-based chipmaking industry.

Intel Corp. this year announced it’ll consider outsourcing production of its most important chips

for the first time, highlighting the complexities of the business and leaving Samsung and TSMC as the two major competitors. While Samsung has scored some marquee customers, TSMC’s longstanding relationships with clients allow for better coordination on design and manufacturing, leading to superior yields, said Sanjeev Rana, an analyst at CLSA Securities Korea.

“In terms of chip performance, Samsung and TSMC are neck and neck,” Rana said. “Most smartphone, high-performance computing, high-end server applications need leading-edge process fabrication for performance and power efficiency reasons. This is where the competition between TSMC and Samsung comes into the picture.”

The Korean company is making rapid advances, in part because even with TSMC’s deep pockets, the Taiwanese chipmaker cannot expand capacity quickly enough to satisfy all demand. Customers also prefer to use more than one foundry, which also works to Samsung’s advantage. The Korean company has already secured enough orders from major clients to keep its currently mostadvanced 5nm process lines busy for the next few years, a company executive told Bloomberg News. The electronics giant increased its roster of semiconductor clients by 30 percent last year, according to another official. In recent months, Nvidia and IBM Corp. are among those that turned to Samsung for some of their chipmaking needs, while Qualcomm Inc. has reportedly awarded the company a 1 trillion won ($858 million) contract to build its flagship mobile processors.

Samsung started up its first dedicated plant for EUV-based fabrication in the southern city of Hwaseong this year, while a second facility in Pyeongtaek is slated for mass production in the second half of 2021. The growth rate of its foundry business is expected to significantly exceed that of the market, which is likely to be in the high single-digits, Shawn Han, senior vice president of the semiconductor business, said during a recent earnings call. The GAA technology that Samsung’s chosen is expected to be adopt by TSMC for 2nm processes in 2024, but there’s a chance that schedule could be moved up to the second half of 2023, said Kim Young-soo, an analyst at SK Securities.

“Technically, Samsung could turn the table in 2023 before TSMC kicks off the 2nm production,” Kim said.

“There will be overflow orders of making application processor chips and edge computing devices. The key to expand the market share is how many EUV machines Samsung can secure.”

Officials at Samsung believe the company has a competitive edge from its experience building both the chips and the devices that they go into, like Galaxy smartphones. It can foresee and address the engineering requirements of its clients. Samsung believes its other trump card is an ability to package memory and logic chips into a single module, improving power and space efficiency. But some companies may be wary about outsourcing production to a direct competitor. TSMC executives have from time to time highlighted the fact that the Taiwanese chipmaker doesn’t compete with any of its customers, a clear jab at Samsung. Bloomberg News

R&D thrive amid Covid-19 challenges

By Lyn Resurreccion

T

he support from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) “has created a lot of learnings for us technology developers. We won’t be able to learn all of these things and be able to come out with a product of such standard without this support,” said Dr. Raul Destura, who led the development of the first Philippinemade Covid-19 test kit, GenAmplifly, with Manila HealthTek Inc. Laboratories.

It also “creates a lot of implications” for health technology growth here in the country, Destura added.

“First, it promotes and accelerates the growth of health biotechnology ecosystem in the Philippines. Second, it creates opportunities for small researchers to start thinking of how it can actually spinoff in the biotech companies later that can support and help the macroeconomic growth in the country.

“Third, it will provide opportunities for our young scientists to stay in the country to work here because there are more job opportunities if we keep the biotech landscape grow.

“Fourth, it will increase the country’s competitiveness in the biotech race in the field of infectious disease diagnostics or even in noncommunicable diseases.

“This entire platform is looking for Filipino adaptors from Filipino developers. Our biotechnology [industry] is still very small but [its members] are very much eager to learn,” Destura pointed out.

Destura’s statement at the recent online Fifth National Research and Development Conference (NRDC) apparently summed up the support the DOST and other government agencies have been giving to research, development and innovation in the country, that, in turn, provide opportunities to Filipino scientists and researchers, and make RDI contribute to the country’s growth.

The NRDC is held annually by the DOST in partnership with other government agencies, such as the Departments of Trade and Industry; Agriculture; Environment and Natural Resources; and Information and Communication

Technology; and the Commission on Higher Education.

This year’s event, with the theme, “Research and Development: Making Change Happen,” showcased 32 RDIs on Covid-19, health, agriculture and aquatic industry, business, and disaster and management response.

It was graced with messages from Health Secretary Francisco Duque, Agriculture Secretary William Dar and Public Works Secretary Mark Villar.

Researches amid the pandemic In his speech, Science Secretary Fortunato T. de la Peña said the Covid-19 pandemic “has greatly hampered many of our plans and programs this year.”

However, it should be noted that despite Covid-19, with the lockdown imposed to prevent its spread, the researchers of the DOST and other government agencies and academic institutions were able to produce a sizeable number of researches and products to help mitigate the spread of Covid-19, and were able to innovate to adopt to the new normal.

At the same time, de la Peña acknowledged that despite the pandemic “our years of investment in R&D is bearing fruit and giving way to many significant breakthroughs,” especially in the areas of health research, agriculture, industry development and disaster risk management.

He pointed out the country’s feat in the Global Innovation Index (GII) has jumped from 100th in 2014 to 50th in 2020.

“A big movement indeed in just six years!” he said. The Philippines performed well alongside China, Vietnam and India in the overall GII ranking.

The country had big achievements in Knowledge Absorption at 7th ranking worldwide, and top 25 rankings in indicators, such as Graduates in Science and Engineering, Market Capitalization, Research Talent in Business Enterprises, High-technology manufacturing and University and Industry Research Collaborations.

Along with the researches featured in the NRDC, de la Peña cited the initiatives to that helped mitigate the spread

of Covid-19 the country.

It should be noted that the DOST has already made plans on researches as early as December 2019 to respond to the pandemic.

He said the more than P900 million investment of DOST and its agency, the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD), in Omics and genomic research for health was instrumental in the development of GenAmplify Covid-19 Detection Kit. Destura said his team started developing the Covid-19 test kit in December when the world was rocked by the appearance of the coronavirus in Wuhan, China.

Another DOST-assisted project that responds to Covid-19 was the Feasibility Analysis of Syndromic Surveillance Using Spatio-Temporal Epidemiological Modeler for Early Detection of Diseases (Fassster) of the Ateneo de Manila University, University of the Pilippines Manila and DOH. Fassster, a web-based disease surveillance platform, provides projections and realistic simulations. It generates data that is used by national and local government units to assess the pandemic and monitor effects of the implemented preventive measures.

“As we all rally toward recovery and renewed vigor for our country, let us count on our forever vision that R&D makes change happen,” de la Peña said.

Investing in R&D DOST Undersecretary Rowena Cristina

Guevara lamented that the government’s expenditure on R&D is an average of 0.632 percent each year.

Besides this, in 2016 most of the R&D activities in the country are concentrated in the National Capital Region (NCR), Calabarzon and Central Luzon.

Moreover, out of 2,000 Higher Education Institutions, only 85 had partnerships with publicly funded R&D. To adapt to the challenges, the DOST has created several programs, Guevara said in the virtual conference. Among these are: n The Niche Centers in the Regions (Nicer) for R&D was established under the Science for Change Program.

Currently there are 24 Nicers in 16 regions with a total funding of P984 million. About 70 percent of the funding for Nicers are for regions outside of NCR and Regions IV-A and III. n The R&D Leadership (RDLead) program engages experts to strengthen the capabilities in the regions and bring out the latent talent of the researchers.

There are currently 32 RD Leaders in 14 regions, 30 and institutions capacitated. n With the Balik Scientist Program, a number Filipino experts either returned to the country or virtually shared their expertise.

There were 555 Balik Scientists from 1975 to June 2020 in 701 engagements, while 22 Balik Scientists participated in the current fight against Covid-19. n In the Agri and Aquatic Natural

resources, to maximize the returns of available R&D budget, metrics were metrics in the evaluation of proposals, the projects with high social and economic impact will most likely to get funded.

Among them are the Carageenan Plant Growth Promoter which makes rice stronger and resistant to major pests and diseases thus giving farmers 30 percent increase in rice yield. n In the Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology, “we have developed sustainable mass transport technologies and have established facilities for improving productivity and competitiveness of our local industries,” Guevara said.

This also includes projects, such as energy conservation and storage, improving productivity and competitiveness, and efficient use of public resources. n The Collaborative R&D to Leverage Philippine Economy (Cradle) created synergistic academe-industry partnerships to nurture the growth and innovation of Filipino companies, she said. n There are currently 61 Cradle projects in 16 regions in the country. A total of P277 million in grants was awarded to 32 institutions and 50 industry partners nationwide. n The Business Innovation through S&T for Industry (BIST) Program facilitates the acquisition of relevant technologies by Filipino companies for immediate incorporation in their R&D activities.

It has one approved project with funds amounting to P11.7 million and 18 industry consultations conducted from January to July this year. n The Technology Business Incubators (TBIs) in universities all over the country were able to nurture more than 200 startups and produced more than 70 full blown startup companies resulting in the creation of over 800 jobs. n In response to Covid-19, Guevara acknowledged that the DOST responded to the call to work in containing the virus and mitigate its socio-economic impact since the first confirmed Covid-19 case in the Philippines was announced.

Besides the popular Covid-19 detection kit by Destura and the Fassster technology, Guevara cited the virgin coconut

oil research project on whether coconut oil components can prevent Covid-19 infections and lessen its effect.

Preparing for the next pandemic To prepare for the next pandemic, Guevara said the DOST proposed a legislative measure on the establishment of the Virology S&T Institute of the Philippines and the reactivation of the Tuklas Lunas Center for Pharmaceuticals Development to initiate and strengthen local vaccine development.

In the distribution of funds, Guevara added that the last three years saw an increases in the pool of researchers, the scale of research in almost all regions and industry-academia research collaborations.

The program has almost doubled the number of engaged HEIs and increased funding to regions.

From 85 HEIs in 2000 with publicly funded R&Ds to 149 HEIs in 2020.

Call for proposals Last year, the DOST formulated the Monitoring and Evaluation Protocol for DOST-Grants-in-Aid Programs and Projects.

From April to July this year, the Call for Proposals received a total of 888 project proposals which will have a total budget requirement of P11.5 billion, with P7.5B in 2021.

However, based on the DOST’s 2021 budget, it will be able to fund only 122 projects in 63 programs with a total budget of P804 million.

Guevara said, in 2016 only 85 institutions were funded by DOST, while in this year’s call for proposals, 181 institutions that submitted proposals, or a 110 percent increase in the number of institutions that are capable of doing R&D in the country.

Guevara pointed out that even with low funding for R&D, innovation in the country has flourished and the Philippines produced more innovation outputs relative to the level of its innovation investment.

Her challenge: “Can you imagine how much more innovations we can produce, if given more R&D budget?”

DOST: 4-in-1 rice harvester addresses agri labor shortfall

O

ne of the many problems that beset the rice production in the country is the lack of appropriate tools and equipment that fit the local agricultural setting.

According to data, the percentage of areas that use efficient mechanized harvesting equipment are still low at 2.2 percent. This can be attributed to the high cost of acquiring equipment, the unavailability of parts and after sales servicing.

Moreover, due to these reasons, local farmers are more akin to manual harvesting methods.

This gruelling work requires 16 days to 25 days of toiling to complete one hectare of rice field.

However, the long and arduous labor does not compensate the farmers as manual method, including threshing, cleaning and bagging, can also result to 4.3 percent in losses.

Due to its laborious nature, the rice sector now is faced with labor shortage aside from production losses due to inefficient harvesting practices.

To address this looming problem, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST),

through the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD), has partnered with the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) in developing efficient equipment and machines that will help enhance the country’s rice productivity.

Under the Farm Mechanization Program, PhilRice developed the Rice Combine Harvester, a four-in-one machine that combines reaping, threshing, cleaning, and bagging operations.

It is a crawler-type harvester, equipped with rubber tracks, hydraulic assisted reel and header.

It is powered by a multiple three-cylinder water cooled 29 horsepower diesel engine with a six-speed transmission drive for high, low and reverse modes.

It has header that cuts and gathers the standing crops while the feeder transfers the cut crops into the thresher.

The thresher on the other hand, separates the grains from the rice stalks while the grain cleaner assembly separates the grain from the residual materials. Cleaned grains are brought to the grain

tank and readied for bagging.

The compact four-in-one harvester is suitable for small-sized plots and irregularly-shaped fields which are common in the Philippines. It is relatively cheaper against imported rice combine harvesters that are already in the market.

Currently, the machine can harvest rice at about 2.5 hectares of rice fields per day. The technology will help augment the shortage in manpower during harvest season.

According to Science Secretary Fortunato T. de la Peña, the combine rice harvester will contribute in enhancing the quality of locally harvested rice.

“This is not high technology but it is appropriate to the needs of our farmers to help them reach productivity,” explains dela Peña.

The DOST-PCAARRD together with PhilRice plan to license the technology in the future to interested local machine fabricators to roll out the technology and introduce it to various farmers’ cooperatives.

stories of Diwali share Tagle: ‘Fratelli tutti’ inspires Christians Many a theme of triumph of justice to universal love and openness to others A

Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle leads an online formation session on Fratelli tutti for participants from the World Union of Catholic Women’s Organisations. Vatican News

By Fr. Benedict Mayaki, SJ

C

hristians were presented recently an opportunity to delve deeper into the spirit of Pope Francis’s latest Encyclical letter Fratelli tutti (All brothers), through a webinar hosted by the World Union of Catholic Women’s Organisations (WUCWO).

The online formation session, guided by Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples, was streamed live via the Facebook account of the women’s organization.

Participation was open not only to WUCWO member organizations around the world, but also to the general public. At its peak, the participants numbered around 55, with people from different continents actively following the session.

Inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi One distinctive trait of Fratelli Tutti, Tagle explained, is that it forms a triad with two other encyclicals— all three unified by the memory of Saint Francis of Assisi.

The first, Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel), is inspired by the request Saint Francis received from God to rebuild the Church.

Pope Francis, echoed this by creating the idea of a vision in which the Church in the 21st century is “rebuilt” through the joy of the Gospel.

The second, Laudato sí (Praise be to You), outlines our shared responsibility for our common home.

The third, Fratelli tutti, invites us to social friendship and to be brothers and sisters to one another.

A methodology that is a spiritual vision Cardinal Tagle highlighted that the Pope adopts a methodology in Fratelli tutti that involves: first, reading and analysing the situation, the signs and trends of the present world; next, the interpretation of the present times in the light of faith, with discernment and judgment; and third, responding—going beyond seeing and analysing to construct a world that is a better place to live in.

The last step leads to ecclesiology—a vision of the Church at the service of our brothers and sister.

“Some would say that this is not just a method but a spiritual vision” Tagle added.

Looking at the world today Tagle highlighted that the encyclical calls us to take notice of the current signs in the world, especially a lack of brotherhood and sisterhood.

It also calls us to be honest in declaring that these signs are “often hidden” and “clothed beautifully in order to hide the destruction that is happening in the human family.”

“We should be attentive to how the poor, the forgotten, the neglected are all the more suffering in this throwaway culture,” which happens within a mentality and context of “being closed” to others.

These signs are visible, he said, “from the perspective of the poor” including the migrants, women, the girl child, victims of human trafficking, among others.

Universal love The cardinal noted that a fundamental part of the pope’s vision of a world open to brotherhood and sisterhood

is universal love, and said that only through it can we make social friendship possible.

“Universal love is openness to the other as opposed to being closed in on oneself—on my group, on my family, on my culture on my community… Love is a form of seeking union with others.

Love sees the value of the others; love celebrates the worth of the others…Love sees what is best for others,” he said.

It is different from mere romanticism or idealism, Tagle affirmed: “This is how God loves! This is how God has manifested Himself! This is how Jesus loves and even died for all!

This is how the Spirit blows! God who is love is total, full openness.”

This, he added, is also illustrated in the parable of the Good Samaritan which the pope refers to in Fratelli tutti.

The openness of the Samaritan led him to come close to the stranger left on the roadside and treat him like a brother. The Samaritan also invited others—the innkeeper—to become an instrument of universal love by taking care of the injured stranger.

The importance of responding Tagle warned that universal love without genuine response risks remaining a mere concept or a slogan.

Response, he continued, keeps the tension between the specific concrete person and the common dignity of all human beings. Because “you cannot enter the dignity of all human beings without entering into concrete, specific human beings.”

He noted that the pope speaks of social friendship—applying it to local cultures which should be developed and appreciated but must be open to universal solidarity which does not

eliminate the uniqueness of every culture.

Tagle went on to note that social friendship can be made concrete in dealing with private property for example, pointing out that property should never be absolutized at the expense of the common good.

He also noted that social friendship can inspire national politics and political charity in international relations, guiding countries against the trap of populism and the misuse of the people to promote narrow ideologies and agendas that create division.

In addition, the Holy Father also speaks of forgiveness, referring to the experience of mothers who always forgive erring children.

The cardinal pointed out that forgiveness—though a grace—should not deny justice or forget the horrors inf licted on others, but rather refuse to remain closed in hatred and vindictiveness even toward the greatest criminal.

The call to all, Tagle said, is to find our place as Christians in fraternity and sorority through our friendly relationships with peoples of other religions or other faiths.

This is done through dialogue and a “culture of encounter” in openness and loving.

Concrete suggestions Tagle proposed some steps to inspire concrete responses to the appeals in Fratelli tutti.

He highlighted the importance of the formation of the character of the human, Christian heart at both the individual and collective level.

He noted that the Encyclical inspires us to confront the biases that hinder us from being open.

Secondly, the cardinal said that since cultures are inspired by human beings, we, as human beings, should invest in the transformation of policies, institutions and cultures that have been accepted as normal.

Thirdly, addressing the WUCWO directly, he suggested collecting the stories of women—of women who have suffered but refused to close their hearts and doors—stories of universal sisterhood that affirm the validity of the Encyclical with narratives that go beyond theories.

The Cardinal invited all to look to Jesus and his ministry and earthly life, inspiring ourselves from how he related with “outsiders” whom he “treated like brothers and sisters”— Zaccheus, Matthew, the Syrophoenician woman, the woman from Samaria at the well and the promise of paradise to the thief hanging by Jesus’ side on the cross.

LDSC provides aid to areas hit by ‘Rolly’ and ‘Ulysses’

L

atter-day Saint Charities (LDSC), the humanitarian arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, started relief efforts last week in areas hit by Typhoon Rolly (international name Goni) in partnership with TV5 Alagang Kapatid Foundation and the Philippine Navy Reserve Command.

LDSC also coordinated with local Church leaders and partners to provide assistance in assembling relief kits, transportation, security, delivery and distribution to families and individuals.

The donated items included family food kits, sleeping kits, and hygiene kits.

Nineteen meeting houses were used as evacuation centers and have, at various times, provided shelter to hundreds of displaced people. All missionaries were safe and accounted for following Rolly.

s many Indian Americans celebrate the election of the first Black and South Asian woman, Kamala Harris, to the White House, many celebrated the festival of Diwali.

Sometimes called the Indian festival of lights, Diwali is arguably the most important holiday of the year for South Asian families.

The festival, which is observed by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains, lasts five days in its entirety.

Traditionally the third day is considered the most important. During this day, families gather to light candles, eat sweets and place lit lamps in their public-facing windows.

As a scholar of Asian religion and popular narratives, I’m interested in Diwali because it demonstrates how ancient tales in epics become part of religious practice.

Popular stories from Hinduism

There are many stories around what exactly Diwali commemorates and why it is celebrated.

Among Hindu families, many claim the festival celebrates the defeat of the evil demon king Ravana

by Rama—an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu and the hero of India’s Ramayana epic.

In the most famous part of this epic tale, Rama’s wife is abducted by the demon Ravana, and Rama must journey to the land of Lanka to save her with the assistance of his brother.

A different tradition states that the festival commemorates the defeat of the demon Narakasura

by Lord Krishna. Like Rama, Krishna is an incarnation of the god Vishnu, who has come to assist humanity in its time of need.

Stories tell of Krishna’s efforts to rid the world of demons. In this particular story, the King Naraka gains extraordinary abilities through a deal with a demon and becomes intoxicated with power.

Narakasura, as he is now called, destroys the kingdoms around him and eventually plans to assault even the heavens.

Krishna appears and uses his divine powers to neutralize Narakasura’s weapons, eventually beheading him with a multi-pronged discus.

Other traditions associate the festival with the birth of the goddess Lakshmi and her marriage to Vishnu. In the Hindu tradition, Lakshmi is worshipped as the goddess of wealth, while Vishnu is seen as the preserver of humanity.

While there are many stories of her birth, the most prevalent is that Lakshmi appeared during the churning of the divine ocean of milk from which the nectar of immortality comes during a fight between the gods and demons.

After appearing, she chooses to marry Vishnu and to assist him in working for the benefit of humanity.

In southern India, Hindu families commemorate the defeat of the demon Hiranyakshipu by Narasimha, the lion-headed incarnation of Vishnu.

Like many Indian stories, Hiranyakshipu is a demi-god who believes he is immortal after receiving a divine blessing from the Hindu creator-god Brahma that lists the conditions for his death.

According to the boon, he cannot be killed at day or at night, inside or outside, by human or by animal, by projectile weapons or by hand weapons, and neither on the ground nor in the sky.

In response to Hiranyakshipu’s terrorizing of the heavens and Earth, Vishnu then incarnates as the lion-headed god Narasimha to kill the demon.

He kills him at dusk, on the step of his house, as a chimeric lion with his claws as he lies on

Narasimha’s lap—all conditions that satisfy the elements of the boon.

Stories from other religions

The Diwali tradition is celebrated by Jains and Sikhs as well, who have their own interpretations of the festival.

For Jains, Diwali celebrates the nirvana, or enlightenment, of Mahavira, the 24th spiritual teacher of the Jain path and the contemporary tradition’s founder.

Sikhs consider Diwali a commemoration of the release of Guru Hargobind, the sixth of 10 spiritual leaders, and 52 other men who were imprisoned by the Mughal Empire that ruled the Indian subcontinent from 1526 to 1857.

After the public execution of his father by Mughal leaders, Guru Hargobind became increasingly passionate about forming an independent Sikh homeland through military action if necessary. He was eventually jailed by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir, but was released two years later on the day of Diwali.

Popular legends state that when he was freed, Guru Hargobind tricked the Mughal emperor into allowing him to bring out as many men as could hold onto the hem of his cloak and, in this way, helped release 52 other prisoners who held onto 52 threads coming off of his garment.

Origins of Diwali

The multiplicity of interpretations for why Diwali is celebrated and questions regarding the festival’s exact origins may have one potential answer: that the narrative of origins is an afterthought to rituals.

This problem is illustrated in a well-known episode of the sitcom “The Office,” where the Dunder Mifflin team attends a Diwali celebration at a local Hindu temple.

Before they go, they ask Kelly—the Hindu office worker who is playing hostess—to explain the origins of the festival.

She demurs, stating, “I don’t know; it’s really old, I think,” before excitedly discussing the beautiful clothes everyone wears, the dancing and the food.

Mindy Kaling, who plays Kelly and wrote the episode, explained that she based Kelly’s cluelessness on her own, noting that—despite identifying as Hindu—she had to do significant research into her own religious tradition to write the episode.

In other words, while she was aware of and excited about the rituals, the narrative explanation was secondary to joining with her community in celebration.

But this does not mean that narrative may be inconsequential. It is important to think what these multiple narratives about Diwali’s origins may be able to tell us about the Indian culture.

Asian religions scholar Robert Ford Campany suggests that narratives entail a subtle form of argument that “reveal, argue or assume something significant about the world, about spirits, about relations between humans and other beings, or about the afterlife and the dead.”

Perhaps these diverse origin stories of Diwali point to a shared argument that Indian culture is making about the world: that good—whether as one of the many avatars of Lord Vishnu, an enlightened Jain prince, or an imprisoned guru—will necessarily triumph over the evils of demons, injustice and ignorance.

Certainly that’s an argument worth celebrating, especially in the chaotic times we live in today.

Exorcism: Increasingly frequent, including after US protests

I

n popular culture, exorcism often serves as a plot device in chilling films about demonic possession.

This month, two Roman Catholic archbishops showed a different face of exorcism—performing the rite at well-attended outdoor ceremonies to drive out any evil spirits lingering after acrimonious protests.

The events’distinctive character gave a hint of how exorcism—with roots in ancient times—has evolved in some ways as it becomes more commonplace in many parts of the world.

In Portland, Oregon, Archbishop Alexander Sample led a procession of more than 200 people to a city park on October 17, offered a prayer, then conducted a Latin exorcism rite intended to purge the community of evil.

The event followed more than four months of racial justice protests in Portland, mostly peaceful but sometimes fueling violence and riots.

On the same day, 600 miles to the south, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone performed an exorcism ceremony outside a Catholic church in San Rafael, where protesters had earlier toppled a statue of Father Junipero Serra.

“We pray that God might purify this place of evil spirits, that he might purify the hearts of those who perpetrated this blasphemy,” Cordileone said.

Serra was an 18th-century Spanish missionary priest, long praised by the church for bringing Roman Catholicism to what is now the western United States.

His critics say that Serra, in converting Native Americans to Catholicism, forced them to abandon their culture or face brutal punishment.

Cordileone said the exorcism prayers in Latin, remarking that “Latin tends to be more effective against the devil because he doesn’t like the language of the church.”

The prayers were different from those offered when a person is believed to be the subject of demonic possession.

Two experts on exorcism—religious studies professor Andrew Chesnut of Virginia Commonwealth University and the Rev. Pius Pietrzyk of St. Patrick’s Seminary and University in California—recalled no other recent exorcisms in the US similar to those in Oregon and California.

Chesnut noted that in Mexico, some high-ranking Catholic clergy performed an exorcism in 2015 seeking to expel demons nationwide.

Participants said they were responding to high levels of violence, the practice of abortion and the crimes of the drug cartels.

More broadly, Chesnut said exorcism, in its traditional form as a demon-chaser, is increasingly widespread around the world, though there are no official statistics.

“The Exorcist,” the memorable horror film of 1973, depicts exorcism as a relatively rare and

secretive endeavor.

But it is now so common that some exorcists combat demons remotely using their cell phone, according to Chesnut.

He says the driving force behind the surge since the 1980s has been the spread of Pentecostal churches that highlight the conflict between demons and the Holy Spirit, especially in Latin America, Africa and parts of Asia, including the Philippines.

Brazil is a particular hot spot for exorcisms, sometimes featured on televised broadcasts of church services.

Pastors wave their hands over a person deemed to be possessed, shout orders for the devil to depart, then hold their hand to the person’s forehead and push them backwards, occasionally resulting in their collapse.

The Catholic church is not ceding the practice of exorcism to these other faiths. Pope Francis has acknowledged the legitimacy of the practice, and a Vatican-approved university in Rome has been conducting exorcism training sessions during Francis’s papacy for priests from around the world.

In September, Francis named three new auxiliary archbishops for the archdiocese of Chicago; one of them was Jeffrey Grob, one of the top exorcism experts in the archdiocese.

In the United States, one of the premier Catholic entities focused on exorcism is the Pope Leo III Institute in the Chicago suburb of Libertyville. Though operating with approval of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, it is independent and privately funded, with a focus on training and educating priests about exorcism.

In a statement on its web site, the institute acknowledges there is some skepticism about exorcism and demonic possession.

“Many Catholics are even among those who don’t believe in the devil or his influence upon them,” it says. “It is important to recall that Pope Francis has never been shy about speaking about the devil, and has warned many times against naiveté in the fight against Satan, even in the 21st century.”

One perennial challenge for modern-day exorcists is to determine if a person potentially possessed by the devil is in fact suffering problems better addressed by mental health professionals.

In light of this, the institute says its curriculum “is devoted to the importance of knowing how to discern whether someone is truly possessed, or whether they have some sort of psychiatric or psychological illness.”

The institute says it agrees with those who say exorcisms have increased in recent years, but adds that “there is no serious statistical study of the practice.”

The US bishops conference has placed a detailed Q-and-A about exorcism on its web site, “in hopes that clear information is brought to bear on a topic that is often shrouded in mystery or misinformation.”

‘Ulysses’ great floods: Another wake-up call?

T

By Jonathan L. Mayuga

he howling winds and torrential rains have kept people awake and praying for the storm to pass when it was felt the strongest in the middle of the night on November 11.

Even before Typhoon Ulysses’s (international name Vamco) landfall in the town of Patnanungan in Quezon province in Southern Luzon at 10 p.m., power supply and telecommunication, including wireless Internet services in many areas on its track were cut off momentarily, silencing social-media platforms where feeds are mostly about blow-by-blow accounts of the typhoon in their area. But as soon as services were restored, social media was suddenly filled with cries for help.

Great flood

In the morning, the typhoon’s worst impact was revealed. Parts of Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon were turned into a massive water world.

Reminiscent of Typhoon Ondoy (international name Ketsana) that caused the great flood in September 2009, Ulysses dumped an equivalent of a month’s rain in just a day, turning roads into ravaging rivers.

Due to Ulysses, six dams in Luzon were forced to open flood-control gates as water reached critical levels.

Major rivers in Luzon have likewise overflowed, causing the massive flood in many areas.

Eastern Metro Manila, Southern Luzon and Cagayan Valley were heav ily submerged.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported that 67 people died due to Ulysses as of November 14.

The national government as well as local government units (LGUs) in many areas were caught by surprise by the flooding as tens of thousands of families were unable to vacate their homes to safer grounds and were forced to climb atop roofs needing rescue.

Environmentalists were quick to blame the f loods on the continuing environmental degradation courtesy of illegal logging, mining and quarrying.

Worse than Ondoy

Reaching 22 meters, the water level in the Marikina River surpassed Ondoy’s record of 21.5 meters, according to Marikina Mayor Marcelino Teodoro.

Te o d oro a d m it t e d t h at t he y underestimated U lysses, making their preparations falling short of expectation.

Interviewed by the media on November 12, Teodoro said they were anticipating the water level in the Marikina River to reach only 18 meters high, at most.

Almost all 16 barangays, including those not historically experiencing severe flooding, were submerged.

While the flood during Ondoy was

considered a wake-up call with several laws enacted on its account, the great flood caused by Ulysses a decade later proved a failure in many levels—on the part of concerned government agencies and LGUs, to address the environmental degradation, or at the very least, prepare for the worst-case scenario.

Republic Act (RA) 9729, or the Climate Change Act, was enacted on October 23, 2009, a month after Ondoy.

The law calls for the mainstreaming of climate change into government policy and created the Climate Change Commission, the climate change coordinating body.

A year after, R A 10121, or the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act, was passed. It institutionalizes the government’s disaster response from the national government down to the smallest unit of the government.

On November 24, 2011, Proclamation 296, signed by then-President Benigno Aquino, established the Upper Marikina R iver Basin Protected Landscape (UMRBPL). It covers a total of 26,125.64 hectares in Antipolo City, and the towns of Baras, Rodriguez, San Mateo, and Tanay, in Rizal province.

Dying ecosystem

Just a few days after Ulysses, the Masung i Georeser ve Foundation posted a statement on its Facebook page describing the Upper Marikina Watershed suffering from “Stage 4” forest cancer.

Accompanied by photographs of a denuded forest, Masungi’s Facebook post on November 13 lamented that the efforts to restore the UMRBPL apparently failed.

“Had the forest rehabilitation efforts years ago were taken seriously, the flooding and devastation in surrounding cities and communities when typhoon occurs would not have happened,” it said.

“Restoration is the only way to go. It is not only the planting of native trees but the restoration of an entire working ecosystem,” the statement added.

It explained: “Being a nearby forest to Metro Manila, the Upper Marikina Watershed regulates water flow, enhances water quality, and reduces the risk of floods and landslides in downstream cities like Marikina. It is the only sustainable and long-term solution coupled with smart infrastructure and disaster risk management.”

’Management failures’

‘Still recovering’

Bald mountain at a portion of the Upper Marikina River Basin Protected Landscape in Rizal province. Masungi Georeserve Foundation Kalikasan-People’s Network for the Environment (PNE) blamed the floods not only on the watershed degradation and extreme rainfall event.

It also pointed to the dam’s management failure, apparently blaming the release of excess waters from large dams during the heavy downpour that aggravated flooding in Luzon.

“All these combined transformed the entire island of Luzon into a virtual water world,” Leon Dulce, national coordinator of Kalikasan-PNE told the BusinessMirror via Messenger on November 14.

Dulce also criticized the national and local governments for their failure to act according to their mandates to reduce the risk of disaster.

Heavily silted rivers

In separate fora and telephone interviews, environment officials acknowledged the various problems that contributed to the recent flooding.

In Cagayan and Isabela provinces and nearby areas in the Cagayan Valley region, Environment Secretary Roy A. Cimatu blamed the siltation of the Cagayan River caused by the degradation of the watershed.

At a news conference on November 15, Cimatu said a massive dredging of the heavily silted Cagayan River and a massive reforestation of the surrounding watersheds are needed to address the problem.

Rabin Quilala, deputy executive director at the DENR’s River Basin Control Office (RBCO), said the f looding in Marikina City and

low-lying areas in Metro Manila and nearby towns of Rizal can be directly attributed to the degradation of the Marikina River Basin.

The situation of the Marikina River Basin generally reflects the problems besetting all other river basins in the Philippines, he said.

“The status of river basins in the country are basically the same because of forest denudation,” he added.

Major rivers, he said, are already heavily silted, making areas close to rivers prone to flooding.

Q u i l a l a re co g n i z e d t h at a d dressing the multifaceted problems besetting the country’s river basins requires long-term planning and implementation.

The DENR-RBCO already had various integrated master plans for the country’s major river basins. However, he said funding for the implementation of the various programs as recommended by experts that crafted the master plans remains a “ big problem.”

Hard engineering that will require a huge budget, he said, is needed, to prevent, if not mitigate flooding.

Suc h ac t iv it ies i nc lude m a s sive r iver-dredg ing, constr uction of check dams or small water impounding areas, river dikes and even irrigation canals to diver t f loodwaters, har ness water through hydropower generation, and boost crop production, at the same time, on top of reforesting degraded watersheds.

Isidro L. Mercado, the Rizal Provincial Environment and Natural Resource Officer, said as far as the UMRBPL is concerned, the protected area has somehow recovered from decades of abuse and forest denudation.

He said cur rent ly, around 70 percent to 75 percent of the almost 26,000-hectare UMRBPL is already covered by a lush forest.

“Compared to the 50-percent forest cover when we started in 2011, forest cover is now 70 percent to 75 percent,” Mercado told the BusinessMirror on November 14.

However, he said outside the protected areas, trees planted through the National Greening Program (NGP) have yet to fully grow and mature.

Climate-change factor

DENR A ssist a nt Sec ret a r y R ic a r do C a lderon, for h is pa r t, at t r ib uted t he f lood i ng i n Lu zon to t he e xcessive ra i nfa l l.

“Imagine the 356 mm rainfall in Tanay only. That is equivalent to a month of rainfall already,” said Calderon, also an Assistant Secretary for Climate Change of the DENR. T he f a c t re m a i n s t h at v a r i o u s d e v e l o p m e nt a c t i v i t i e s i n Ma r i k i na C it y h ave wea kened t he w ate rshe d ’s c apac it y to a bsor b ra i nwater, he sa id.

“When I flew [by helicopter] over the Marikina Watershed, I saw the forest is thick. The problem is the areas outside the protected area,” Calderon told the BusinessMirror on November 13.

He s a id ra i nw ater c a sc ad i ng from the top of the mountains to the Marikina River in five hours to six hours only means the forest is healthy. He also noted that the soil

was already saturated because of past typhoons before Ulysses came.

Problems and solutions

On November 14, DENR Undersecretary Jonas R. Leones, for Policy, Planning and International Affairs, acknowledged that quarry operations may have taken its toll on the Marikina River anew.

He said while many quarry operations in Rizal, based on the plotting of the DENR revealed that they are not within the watershed, the operations still contribute to the environmental degradation and the siltation of the Marikina River.

There are 10 to 11 Mineral Production Sharing Agreements and 22 plots that operate with local government-issued permits in San Mateo and Rodriguez in Rizal, according to Leones, Cimatu’s spokesman.

But whether quarrying is done in public or private land, he said its operation must be strictly regulated and limited to minimize their environmental impact.

“We may need to sit down with the LGUs on this one. On our [DENR] part, we will look into the quarry operation’s environmental compliance certificate,” he said.

Meanwhile, the official said care and maintenance of NGP sites and livelihood program for upland dwellers will have to do for now due to budget constraints.

Livelihood projects for upland dwellers in watersheds will help reduce the pressure on the environment, acknowledging that tree-poaching, charcoal-making and slash-and-burn farming are also a big challenge to the ongoing reforestation effort, including the rehabilitation of the Marikina Watershed.

Films on ants, microplastics win in 4th Indie-Siyensya S

tories on animals like ants, pawikan and fishes surely catch the attention of children, while those on environment and illnesses, such as microplastic pollution, schistosomiasis and E. coli bacteria make young scientists curious.

Putting these subjects into well-crafted films would surely make them winners.

And they did.

The films “Into the Minuscule World of Ants”

by Heinrich Domingo of Quezon, Isabela, and “Sansala” by Cyah Angela Somblingo of the youth organization Focus Cavite, were hailed as the Best Films in the Open and Youth Categories, respectively, in the Four th Indie-Siyensya Filmmaking Competition.

They won against a total of 23 entries in the Open Category, and 55 entries in the Youth group in this year’s theme “Communities Beyond the Naked Eye.” The winners were announced recently in an online awarding ceremony, which premiered live in the Department of Science and Technology-

Science Education Institute’s (DOST-SEI) social media page.

They were judged based on the criteria of scientific content, idea execution, film technique and impact.

Open category

“Into the Minuscule World of Ants” documents the growing ant-keeping community in the Philippines led by YouTube personality, Mikey Bustos.

Filmmaker Domingo said that making the film made him realize the presence of many scientific groups and communities that are not popularly shown in the media.

“My exposure to the ant-keeping community showed me that there are hundreds of Filipinos venturing into scientific fields like biology that remain unseen. Shooting this documentary film made me see the alternative avenues where science is learned,” he said.

He said he is honored to have competed against great films with equally interesting tales and narratives, and that the win will inspire him

to make more films.

“Our communities are filled with stories that need to be told. We do not need to chase stories.

Instead, our local tales and narratives are more than enough to make captivating films,” said Domingo, who earned P100,000 cash prize and a trophy.

Coming in second in the Open Category was “Pauwikan,” a documentary about the nature and diversity of the turtle sanctuary in San Juan, La Union, done by Gerylle Vanmarie Palabay of the Film and Media Arts International Academy.

Winning Third is Edward Laurence Opena of Opena Cinematics/Cebu Normal University for his film, “The Man Who Talks to Fishes.”

It narrates how a man enabled the Gilutongan Marine Sanctuary to become one of the country’s top marine sanctuaries. They won P50,000 and P30,000 cash prizes, respectively.

Palabay’s “Pauwikan” also secured the Viewers’ Choice Award for receiving the highest number of votes during the film screenings. The film won P20,000 cash prize for the special award.

Youth category

On the Youth Categor y, “Sansala” tackles microplastic pollution in Dalahican, Cavite City. The documentar y film explores how microplastics gravely affect the environment and the people relying on the sea for livelihood.

Somblingo, who is a second-timer in the competition, referred to the win as their team’s “comeback vic tor y ” after placing second last year for their film, “Lambat.” This time, they bagged the P100,000 cash prize and the top trophy.

Their team considers the oppor tunity to echo to the residents of Dalahican the results of their microplastic experiment done during the making of the film as their most memorable experience.

“Educating people is something we really enjoy. And being able to reach the hearts of thousands of people through a single film was like living a dream,” she added.

Co m p l e t i n g t h e To p 3 i n t h e Yo u t h

Categor y are the films “Sisto” by Ma. Diana Balansag from Bukidnon National School of Home Industries at Second Place, and “Beyond: Escherichia coli” by Juliana M i l a n b i l e n f ro m Ta g a y t a y Ci t y S c i e n ce National High School at Third Place.

“Sisto” depicts the problems encountered by the people of Barangay San Miguel in Maramag, Bukidnon, with the schistosomiasis, while “Beyond: Escherichia coli” tackles the unseen community of the E. Coli bacteria and its nature.

The films won P50,000 and P30,000 cash prizes, respectively.

A project of Department of Science and Technology-Science Education Institute, DOSTSEI Director Dr. Josette Biyo congratulated the winners and finalists for taking the competition to another level with the quality and messaging they gave.

“We’re very happy with the films we received this year and we’re especially impressed by how they tell their stories effectively and in a manner

that does not stay away from science,” Biyo said.

She added: “We envision our scientists to be able to communicate their works effectively, and film is definitely a great platform. For this, we’re very proud of our contestants.”

Now on its fourth run, Indie-Siyensya remains one of DOST-SEI’s main platforms to promote a culture of science in the country. The competition is also the agency’s response to the growing field of science communication by using film as a medium of information dissemination and behavioral change.

This year’s Board of Judges include Dr. Garry Jay Montemayor of the College of Development Communication, University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB); Director Seymour Sanchez from the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, and Far Eastern University; Prof. Patrick Campos, director of the UP Film Institute; renowned entomologist Dr. Aimee Lynn Dupo of the UPLB Museum of Natural History; and Dr. Ruby Cristobal of DOST-SEI.

ESPN documentary examines Woods, racial identity

A

LOOK at Tiger Woods through the prisms of race and identity will be the subject of an ESPN documentary debuting later this month.

“Tiger Woods: America’s Son” will

premiere on November 29.

The one-hour documentary explores the significance of Woods becoming the first Black golfer to win a major championship at the Masters in 1997 and how it changed perceptions of him across racial and ethnic lines.

The documentary is the latest project from ESPN’s The Undefeated, which explores the intersection of sports, race and culture. TheUndefeated.com launched in May 2016 to provide reporting and analysis centered on Black athletes as well as issues outside sports.

Director and producer Lauren Stowell said the original idea of the Woods documentary was to examine

how his Masters victory impacted generations of past Black golfers before it morphed into a larger examination of Woods’s own history with racial identity.

Stowell, a three-time Sports Emmy Award winner, also comes from a multiracial family. She said she could relate to Woods, whose father was Black and whose mother is Asian, trying to honor all sides of his family’s heritage.

“I think it’s an important time right now for this to air because I think it makes us kind of question what is it that makes us uniquely American,” Stowell said. “We see how polarized and divided we’ve become in many ways but it’s also an opportunity right now to become unified.

And maybe the complex questions that we’re raising with this documentary might start some conversations. Is there one, you know, uniquely Black experience in America?”

Woods views about his racial identity have always been complex. He said during an interview on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” after his Masters victory that he checked both African-American and Asian on a form at school to describe his background.

He also said on that show that he described himself as “Cablinasian”—a mix of Caucasian, Black, Indian and Asian.

Those comments drew some backlash from Black golfers who came before Woods who thought he was trying to distance himself from the Black community.

“We know race is not science, it’s self-identity. I think that both how the outside world looked at Tiger and how he looked at himself, those two things Lauren does a tremendous job of bringing together,” said Kevin Merida, The Undefeated’s senior vice president and editor.

“It’s not an argumentative film. If anything, I think it will open some eyes. He does have a relationship to his race, but it may not be the same kind of relationship that some people want. All of this is tackled really thoughtfully.”

Stowell and ESPN made attempts to interview Woods for the documentary but were not successful. It does include interviews of Woods and his parents from earlier in his career as well as longtime Woods friend Mark O’Meara, former Coach Butch Harmon and Lee Elder, who was the first Black player invited to compete in the Masters.

Stowell said if she had interviewed Woods, she would have liked to know more about

the role Woods’s mother has had on his views and his thought process in coming up with Cablinasian.

FAJARDO VOWS TO RISE AGAIN J

By Josef Ramos

JUNE MAR FAJARDO is on track in his rehabilitation from a leg injury.

UNE MAR FAJARDO vowed to rise again next season together with the fallen San Miguel Beermen.

Fajardo, the Philippine Basketball Association’s (PBA) six-straight Most Valuable Player—promised to do whatever it takes to bring the five-straight Philippine

Cup champion San Miguel Beer back to the promise land after being eliminated in the quarterfinal round of the Philippine Cup. “We will do everything to win a championship again,” the 6-foot-10 Fajardo told BusinessMirror. “We’re defeated now, but once we’re healthy and complete, we have a strong chance. We can still dominate.”

The Meralco Bolts beat the Beermen twice in the quarterfinals, 71-78 and 68-90, to end their reign in the all-Filipino conference.

And Fajardo couldn’t do anything but to watch the disappointing defeats

in his huge LED TV in his condominium unit in Mandaluyong City—he is still recovering from a broken right tibia he sustained last February 4 during team practice at the Acropolis gym in Ortigas.

“That’s what it is—of course the other teams want to win too,” Fajardo said.

The Cebuano big man is on in his rehabilitation under the care of Assistant Coach Boycie Zamar and physical therapist Andrew Bulahan.

“Monday, Wednesday and Friday we’re in the basketball court, while Tuesday and Thursday we’re in weights room. Everyday, he has strengthening and therapy,” said Zamar of

Fajardo who just turned 31 last Tuesday.

“I feel better now, I can run and do some contact drills,” said Fajardo, who averaged 19 points and 13 rebounds last season.

Fajardo’s teammate Arwind Santos, meanwhile, disagreed the Beermen exited the Clark bubble because most of them are in the twilight of their careers.

“It’s not about our age, it’s that we aren’t complete because of injuries,” said the 39-year-old former Far Eastern University forward. “If we’re complete and we fail to advance to the semifinals, then maybe they can say that. We can still dominate for two to three years.”

McGregor returns to UFC against Poirier

C

onor McGregor has agreed to return to the UFC for a rematch with Dustin Poirier on January 23 at UFC 257.

UFC President Dana White confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday that McGregor has ended his latest retirement from mixed martial arts by signing an agreement for a 155-pound fight with Poirier.

White hasn’t decided whether UFC 257 will be held in Las Vegas or in the UFC’s coronavirus-secure bubble in Abu Dhabi.

“But if the world continues in the direction it looks like it’s headed, it will 100% be Fight Island,” White told the AP. McGregor (22-4) has fought in the UFC cage just twice since November 2016, but he dramatically stopped Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in 40 seconds at UFC 246 last January.

The 32-year-old Irish veteran remains the biggest star in combat sports despite retiring for the third time in four years last June amid frustration with his inability to book the fights he wanted due to the pandemic.

Poirier already signed his agreement for the rematch last week, according to ESPN, the UFC’s broadcast partner.

McGregor was still a rising

MMA star when he stopped Poirier just 1:46 into the first round at UFC 178 in September 2014. McGregor won his next three fights, culminating in his 13-second victory over Jose Aldo to claim the UFC lightweight championship.

Poirier (26-6) rebounded from that loss and fought his way to a UFC title, recording wins over Justin Gaethje and Eddie Alvarez before outpointing Max Holloway for the interim UFC lightweight title in April

2019. Poirier lost his share of the belt to Khabib Nurmagomedov by submission in September 2019 in Abu Dhabi, but rebounded with a decision over Dan Hooker last June.

McGregor and Poirier both favor brawling, on-the-feet fighting styles that should provide a good matchup for McGregor’s strengths.

Nurmagomedov, who retired last month after beating Gaethje, is the last fighter to beat both McGregor and Poirier. AP

English sports to get $400-M bailout, talks on fans’ return

L

ONDON—English sports are receiving 300 million pounds (almost $400 million) from the government—with half going to rugby—to help them survive without fans being allowed into venues during the pandemic.

It has been eight months since full stadiums were allowed, although the government also expressed hope Thursday that fans could soon be allowed back in to watch games.

Even with England in a second national lockdown that runs through December 2, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said there is “definitely a chance” that supporters could return to sports before the end of the year as restrictions are eased.

“There’s a possibility in the lowest-risk areas to open the door ajar a little bit, start to prove in the lowest-risk areas that we could make this work then I’d love for us to be able to do that,” Dowden told Talk Sport radio.

The government had originally planned to start allowing spectators back into sports events in October but shelved those plans because of a second wave of coronavirus cases.

Rugby is receiving half of the “Sports Winter Survival Package,” which is mainly in the form of loans, but men’s professional football and cricket are not included.

Rugby union will receive 135 million pounds, including 44 million pounds for the English governing body, £59 million available

to Premiership clubs, and the rest going to lower-division men’s teams.

Another 12 million pounds has been set aside for rugby league on top of 16 million pounds of emergency loans earlier in the year.

Football will receive £28 million, with £3 million for the Women’s Super League and second division Championship, and the rest going to men’s teams outside of the four professional divisions.

A financial lifeline is also being provided to horse racing, motor sports, tennis, netball, basketball, ice hockey, badminton and greyhound racing.

“These are unprecedented times for our sector, and those sports and leagues that rely so heavily on spectators for their income that have been especially impacted by the pandemic,” said Tim Hollingsworth, chief executive of Sport England. “The role they play in their local communities is vital and this package of support from government will be hugely welcomed.” AP

KEEPING HOPE BURNING BRIGHT Darren Espanto on more than just believing in Christmas

T

By Stephanie Joy Ching

HIS year’s Christmas will be difficult for most of us. With the pandemic still ravaging parts of the world while our fellow Filipinos are struggling to recover from the recent typhoons, it can be hard to find a reason to celebrate.

However, “Total Performer” Darren Espanto wants to remind people to look at the bright side to get through the dark, particularly during this holiday season. With his latest Christmas single “Believe in Christmas” out now, the 19-year-old FilipinoCanadian singer hopes that it will remind people to “hope and keep the faith.”

“This year, there’s no other way to celebrate Christmas but to be grateful for the simple things that life has to offer amid trying, challenging times. More than ever, this gives us a chance to strengthen our faith and love for one another, and protect the family and loved ones whose lives matter more than anything else in this world. This Christmas is different from what we’ve been accustomed to for sure, but I’m positive that we’ll emerge stronger, better individuals after this crisis unfolds. For as long as we have each other, no grueling situation can hold us down,” he enthused.

A smooth-sailing, poppy single with a classic yet modern Christmas sound, “Believe in Christmas” was composed by respected songwriter Tiny Corpuz, who has worked with Darren ever since his time competing in The Voice Kids.

“This song is all about believing in hope and love, believing in the best in what humanity can bring. Blessed ako to see Darren grow as an artist from a boy to an artist to a man

to someone that gives hope,” Corpuz noted.

Moreover, the song reflects on the Filipinos’ capacity to bounce back from an adverse event.

Resilience is something that Filipinos have always expertly done after a recession, personal catastrophe or a storm, and this is something that Darren Espanto expertly tackles on his new single “Believe in Christmas” as he sings an anthem of hope amidst brokenness and frailty.

“Mararamdaman nyo po talaga yung joy and love sa song na ito,” Darren further quipped.

More than interpreting the song, Darren was also very much involved in the recording process as a vocal producer, ensuring that he’s in top shape to get the best vocal performance possible. Corpuz further attests to Darren’s potential as a multifaceteted artist with so much talent in his hand. “Darren is a total performer, he sings, dances, even acts, and now exploring on songwriting and production. A true artist knows what he wants.

We’ve witnessed him grow. He’ll definitely go places with that kind of determination and passion.”

In addition to giving people hope through song, Darren is also passionate about other causes, particularly quality education and climate change, having expressed interest in holding benefit concerts in the future in support. In addition to that, he also serves as UNDP’s advocate for sustainable goals, using his voice and unique position to empower people of all ages, particularly the youth.

For him, artists have a responsibility to not only “take people away from the sadness that they’re feeling”, but to also empower and encourage people, citing the numerous calls to vote made by American celebrities during their presidential elections. Now here’s an artist who knows how to use his voice and fame to advance worthy causes.

Jazz comes alive in Colby dela Calzada’s debut release

R

eal jazz isn’t dead. It has simply fallen into some sort of critical ill repute as, take your pick, easy listening elevator muzak, weird skronk to pass off intellectual superiority, or cool irrelevant stuff from a bygone era.

Indicative of the music’s declining popularity, Neilsen media company reported that jazz accounted for a negligible 1.4 percent of music consumption in the US in 2019.

Then I had my own exposure to resurgent Pinoy jazz almost a year ago with the release of Adobo Jazz: Filipino Jazz Music of Our Time Vol. 1.” Even with that glimmer of hope for a genre which peaked in the ‘70s, I got ribbed by well-meaning friends that there were better ways to show that Filipino jazz isn’t on its death bed than a one-off recording by jazz scene veterans.

Now comes the latest testament to local jazz’s enduring legacy. Colby dela Calzada, one of the major contributors to the Adobo Jazz album and a pioneering mainstay of the Pinoy jazz scene for five decades running, has just released his self-titled

debut album.

“Colby” is a compilation of dela Calzada’s original compositions, all selfarranged, which he has written throughout his long career as a musician. He’s been a full time musician after a stint running a Sound System company in the mid-90s.

Not a bad move. His illustrious original calling that has seen Colby play in recordings of many Filipino artists and figure prominently in numerous music festivals here and abroad.

Colby told Soundstrip that of the six tracks on his album, only one cut titled “Sohn” was composed during lockdown.

The Covid-19 mandated quarantine measure simply helped him focus on his writing and production skills for the final push to finish the record, he added.

Colby plays bass on most

tracks and does keyboard programming on others. His recording collaborators include Chuck Stevens on guitars, Jun Jun Regalado on drums, Kiko de Pano on tenor sax and Dix Lucero on flutes.

The Pinoy jazz musician shared a Facebook post by his daughter on how the recording came about: “A bit of a back story.

A few years ago my mother, brothers, sister and I decided the best gift we could give our dad for his 60th birthday was a chance to record his compositions. Given that none of us are musicians who can read sheet music, we realized none of us would ever hear what they sounded like.

With that in mind, this family project was born. We started recording at Hit Productions years ago but it took a pandemic to finally see this project to its fruition. So this is a labor of love from the family and our friends, and we are so excited to share it with all of you.

Coming on 11.10.2020.”

It may sound like a homey informal undertaking but “Colby” the album reveals nuances upon repeated listens. There is familiarity to the melodies and rhythm of the songs and the masterful interplay of the players adds a delicate intricacy seldom heard in today’s preference for smoothened jazz.

Colby described how “Mt.

Sinai”, the fourth track on the album, came about. “I composed it in ‘95 for the North Sea Jazz Festival, but was only able to record just this year during the lockdown. Mt. Sinai was inspired by the trek Moses took while in the wilderness back in Deuteronomy, essentially to meet God (and receive the stone tablets), so I’m trying to portray the ascent and the exhilaration of reaching your destination!”

He said that the overall arc of the recording is the accumulation of all the music he has played and listened to that are too many to mention.

It’s noted though that his album makes no appreciable nod to the present jazz scene where rock and R&B seems to foreground the music.

Colby explains: “Fusion, soul or acid jazz is a branch of the jazz tree. Since my album is more for posterity than anything else, we wanted to be more artistic than commercial in our approach but with reverence and attention to the craft.”

So the overbearing question: Is jazz dying?

COLBY: “I think jazz has had it’s heyday here but it will never die. I accept that jazz is not for all. But to say it’s about to expire is like saying that classical music is dead or cryptography is dead. The good news is there is more variety now in music so there will always be a jazz nook here and there. In my travels abroad, I’ve seen the massive jazz audiences in Europe and the ceaseless nightly patronage of the small clubs in NYC. That gives me a little comfort. a sense of being part of a global movement. Di kami nagiisa!!”

Academics, video game makers team up in rare collab

By Kelvin Chan

The Associated Press

ONDON—A study by Oxford University researchers on how playing video games affects mental health used data from video game makers, marking what the authors say is a rare collaboration between academics and the game industry.

In this January 23, 2020, file photo, Nintendo Switch game consoles are on display at Nintendo’s official store in the Shibuya district of Tokyo. Time spent playing video games can be good for mental health, according to a new study by researchers at Oxford University. AP

Lack of transparency from game makers has long been an issue for scientists hoping to better understand player behaviors.

The paper released Monday by the Oxford Internet Institute comes as video game sales this year have boomed as more people are stuck at home because of the pandemic and many countries have once again imposed limits on public life.

The findings are based on survey responses from people over 18 who played two games, Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

The study used data provided by the game makers, Electronic Arts and Nintendo of America, on how much time the respondents spent playing, unlike previous research that relied on imprecise estimates from the players. The video game industry has previously been reluctant to work with independent scientists, the paper noted.

Such partnerships might be needed for future research on the booming video game industry.

Academics “need broader and deeper

collaborations with industry to study how games impact a wider, and more diverse, sample of players over time,” said Andrew Przybylski, the institute’s director of research. “We’ll need more and better data to get to heart of the effects of games, for good or ill, on mental health.”

The research was funded by the Huo Family Foundation, a London-based foundation, and the Economic and Social Research Council, a UK-government funded public body.

The researchers said they found the actual amount of time spent playing was a small but significant positive factor in people’s well-being.

The paper said the level of enjoyment that players get from a game could be a more important factor for their well-being than mere playing time.

Some 2,756 players of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and 518 players of Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville responded to a survey, out of 250,000 invitations.

They were asked to fill out a survey on their experiences that was matched up against playing time logged by the game companies.

While the paper has yet to be peer reviewed, academics who weren’t involved in the research said it showed some strengths, such as accurately measuring game playing time.

“The fact that it’s the electronic data collected from the device is very good, it’s very objective,” said Paul Croarkin, a psychiatrist at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota who has studied video gaming and children. He said he had “lingering questions” about the study and said the self-reporting nature of the survey was a weakness, but said the researchers presented their findings in a balanced way.

Joseph Hilgard, an assistant professor of social psychology at Illinois State University, also noted some limitations.

“This is correlational data, and so we cannot estimate the causal effect of video games on well-being,” said Hilgard. He added that respondents may have been playing other games simultaneously for which playtime wasn’t tracked. “Finally, the low response rates on the surveys may limit the generalizability of the results to the entire player base of these games.”

DAKILA, artist-advocates hold online telethon for typhoon victims

C

onsecutive typhoons in the span of a month, flash floods and landslides, and the loss of lives, livelihoods, and lifestyles—all in the middle of a pandemic. This has been glaring proof of not just the worsening climate crisis but also the lack of urgency to mitigate the risks of disasters and implement effective long-term solutions.

Artist collective DAKILA, with its human-rights education center Active Vista and in partnership with youth network We The Future PH, recently launched the Bayanihan Republic Telethon, a web program to raise funds to assist the recovery of the victims of the recent typhoons, particularly Rolly and Ulysses.

Joining the telethon are artists Johnoy Danao, Cooky Chua, Noel Cabangon and Lourd De Veyra among others. Sharing their insights in the discussion are Yeb Saño, climate activist and executive director of Greenpeace Southeast Asia; Ezra Acayan, photojournalist; Ariel Rojas, a weather specialist and Catanduanes native; Jerome Dulin

and Joseph Arcegono, filmmakers from the North Luzon Cinema Guild and members of the Cagayan Volunteer Initiative; and Krishna Ariola, co-convener of We The Future PH and cofounder of Youth for Climate Hope.

Apart from the fund-raising aspect of the activity, Bayanihan Republic Telethon aims to discuss climate change and governance in the present Philippine context—the climate emergency, the pandemic, economic recession, and its overall effect on the full enjoyment of human rights.

For the past years, the fatal effects of natural calamities in the country have been downplayed by the lack of a whole-of-nation approach to disaster risk reduction and management, and by romanticizing Filipino resiliency. In the time of the Covid-19 pandemic—when the risks to the public’s health are higher as casualties flock into evacuation areas—DAKILA calls for an efficient plan on managing disaster risks especially catered to protect us both from the calamities and health crisis.

“While calamities are part of our nature, it is undeniable that typhoons are intensified by climate change; and the lack of proactive, comprehensive and sciencebased plans by our government worsens its effects on our communities,” DAKILA communications director Andrei Venal said.

“With the lack of effective climate mitigation, disaster risk reduction, and emergency response from the current administration, we are left with no clear pathway to recovery,” We The Future PH co-convenor Krishna Ariola said in a statement. “The Filipino people have to make do with rebuilding our lives disaster after disaster, without any assurance of support and protection when the next one decides to strike.”

They added: “There is nothing wrong with being resilient, but it becomes a problem when one reduces calamities to a front-page photo of a person smiling amid floodwaters, diverting attention away from the accountability of those responsible.”

Sony, Microsoft consoles struggle with thin launch-day stock

S

ales of Sony Corp. and Microsoft Corp.’s new gaming consoles fell short of their predecessors during their first week in Japan, suggesting persistent supply bottlenecks will hamper the debut of two of this holiday season’s most hotly anticipated gadgets.

Sony sold 118,085 PlayStation 5 consoles from its debut from November 12 to November 15, roughly a third of the PS4’s performance over launch weekend, Famitsu estimated. Microsoft tallied 20,534 units of its Xbox Series X and S during the six days from its start on November 10, also shy of the 23,562 that the Xbox One managed during its first few days, the research house said.

The estimates provided a first glimpse at sales of the new Xbox and PlayStation, two devices that should dominate wishlists this Christmas. Japan was among the first markets globally to get the consoles and is considered a key battleground between two companies vying to establish a lead in next-generation gaming and drive longer-term growth.

Factory and logistical disruptions during the pandemic have hurt manufacturers’ ability to keep up. The outcome is likely more reflective of the available supply than demand for the consoles, as both companies saw their machines sell out on day one, said Serkan Toto, an industry consultant in Tokyo.

Microsoft has called its new console duo the most successful Xbox debut ever, but that feat appears to have come at the cost of thinly spread supply. The Redmond, Washington-based company released its two consoles to 37 countries simultaneously, a big jump from the 13 markets for the preceding Xbox One generation.

Sony is also grappling with inadequate supply as it tries to introduce its new consoles to 65 nations, doubling the 32 that the company covered with the PlayStation 4.

Chief Financial Officer Hiroki Totoki told investors in October that supply chain bottlenecks have hampered the tech giant’s efforts to meet demand and that constraints may persist until March next year. In Japan, the company was forced to implement a lottery system to manage PS5 preorders.

Microsoft and Sony both say they’re working hard to beef up supply of their new machines. But retailers in Japan say it remains unclear when they will be able to reliably stock the in-demand products. PS5 units on resale marketplace Mercari have hit prices upwards of $1,000, from their usual $400 to $500.

Not all users are in a rush to obtain the new consoles right away, as most new games are still playable on the departing PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles.

Still, Ace Research Institute analyst Hideki Yasuda said the manufacturers should pump up supply as soon as possible because a loss of initial momentum could damage lifetime sales.

“The first two-week sales momentum is crucial in forming a consumer sentiment on a product, and that’s why it’s important to prepare enough quantity at launch,” he said. Bloomberg
