City receives Pfizer vaccines, takes walk-ins in CHO-managed vaxx sites BY MAYA M. PADILLO

avao Covid-19 Task Force spokesperson Dr. Michelle Schlosser said that the city government of Davao has received more Pfizer anti-Covid-19 vaccines and urged Dabawenyos to get vaccinated especially that the 25 City Health Office (CHO)-managed vaccination sites, as well as the Bakuna Nights hubs, are now accepting walk-ins. “Fortunately, daghan gyud ta karon og vaccines that is why ginaengganyo

The Department of Health (DOH)-Davao Region has received a total of 994,500 Pfizer vaccines donated by the United States government through the

COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) Facility last week and of this figure, Davao City was allocated 468,000 doses. Schlosser said that interested vaccinees can register onsite and must only bring a valid ID, Safe Davao QR, and ballpen. “Katong previous months nato pinakaproblema sa atong katawhan gusto sila magpa-vaccine

Davao, Mindanao the way to go: Biz leaders

usiness leaders in Davao Region urged investors to “play their cards right” by investing in the region and Mindanao highlighting the diverse and fast-growing market and abundance of natural and human resources that will help them expand and rebuild economically in 2022 and beyond. Lafayette Alvarez Lim, President of the NCCC Group of Companies, said Mindanao is ripe for business and investments. “The saying ‘Give Mindanao a chance’ is outdated and no longer true. Overlooking Mindanao and taking it for granted is a bad business decision. If you want to play your cards right, join us here in Mindanao, and let’s grow and prosper together,” Lim said during the second installment of the Davao Investment Conference 2021 Innovation Series, “The Potential of the Mindanao Market,” which took place virtually on Octo-

ber 13, 2021. Gina Espejo, General Manager of DMI Medical Supply Co. Inc, shared her learnings about building a well-known company based on products made from the Davao-grown mangosteen (MX3). “It is such a wonderful blessing from the Lord to have a business in the land of promise where opportunity and supply are abundant - truly a food haven,” she said. Nicole Bian-Ledesma, co-chairperson of the Davao Investment Conference (Icon) cited the strengths of the region like the competitive labor force as exemplified by homegrown companies who are leaders in their respective industries; access to natural and human resources; and complemented by active and strong public and private partnerships that make Davao City and Mindanao a magnet for global investors.

Dads push for herd immunity in critical risk barangays By MAYA M. PADILLO

avao City Covid-19 Task Force spokesperson Dr. Michelle Schlosser the City Council aims to achieve herd immunity in the critical risk barangays to help the city achieve the target herd immunity.

“Ang reason why atong good councilors dili nila gina-stop ang mobile vaccination kay ang ilang tumong gyud is for the critical risk barangays maka-achieve dayon og herd immunity. In that way, maka-assure ta ba nga protected gyud sila labaw na tong persistent ang number sa cases,” she said. She said that efforts of the councilors and the Office of Vice Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte is much appreciated especially since the SP-led vaccination targets herd immunity in barangays, particularly in Covid-19 risk areas. Schlosser shared that

the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) mobile vaccination program has already reached a total of 87,874 Dabawenyos who received their first and second doses of the anti-Covid-19 vaccines since August this year. Of the number, 60,616 Dabawenyos have received their first dose and 27,258 took their second jabs and were fully vaccinated as of October 14. On October 14, 2021, the mobile vaccination teams led by members of the City Council administered anti-Covid vaccines to a total of 4,190 in ten sites. Of the 4,190 jabs administered, 1,311 were

EDITORIAL Vacc-essible, vacc-vailable Davao City has just received more vaccines against Covid-19 of the highly-regarded Pfizer brand. This means, it can accommodate more vaccinees at any given time. It has even announced it will now accept onsite walk-ins. With the additional vaccines available, the next step is to get more people to be vaccinated. When the vaccination rollout began a few months back, the limited supply only allowed for the city government to prioritize the frontliners and the vulnerable sector. Then came more vaccines arriving which allowed for more Dabawenyos to get fully vaccinated.

Despite the aggressive campaign, there are still those who refused to get vaccinated and stuck on their unfounded belief whilst science and logic point to the positive effects of getting the jabs. Today, many countries around the world are slowly opening up its borders. However, the requirement is for travellers to have been fully vaccinated before entry to the said country. But there is also the additional requirement of being vaccinated by “prescribed” vaccines measured by its Vaccine Efficacy and Effectiveness (VE) rating. The protection offered by a vaccine against a person requiring hos-

Most of the vaccinated individuals in Davao got the Coronavac (Sinovac). The good thing is that in countries like Australia, for example, it has admitted Coronavac (Sinovac) vaccine as a “recognised vaccine”.

Now with the Pfizer brand, which is a “recgnized vaccine” in most countries, available, more Dabawenyos should get themselves vaccinated. We are lucky that we are living in a city where vaccines are “vacc-essible” and “vacc-vailable.” ANTONIO M. AJERO Editor in Chief

pital care if they develop Covid is either directly measured in Vaccine Efficacy and Effectiveness (VE) data from clinical trials or inferred from protection against ‘severe’ infection. VE measures the reduction in the odds of a person developing infection or hospitalisation, after vaccination, compared to unvaccinated people with the same exposure to Covid. Vaccine Efficacy trials directly measure the protection a vaccine offers against a person becoming infected with COVID when exposed to the virus. This can be used as an imperfect surrogate for reducing the chance of transmitting Covid because a person must first be infected with Covid in order to transmit it. There are also challenges in making accurate comparisons between the effectiveness of vaccines, given the inconsistent effectiveness measures, study confounders and efficacy end points used in clinical trials.

Friend of Debtor

Dear Friend of Debtor,

A debtor is obliged to pay his creditor the loan that he had incurred as it falls due. However, no person can be imprisoned merely by reason of non-payment of debt. This guarantee is expressly provided for under Section 20, Article III of the 1987 Philippine Constitution which states: “No person shall be imprisoned for debt or non-payment of poll tax.” This provision is anchored on personal liberty by prohibiting the practice of either sending the debtor to jail or making the debtor personal slaves for failing to pay the debts. But it must be

clear that this has something to do with purely civil debts. To give you a clearer view about this matter, “debt” refers to any civil obligations arising from contracts, express or implied. An obligation to pay arising from extra contractu is considered a private matter between the creditor and the debtor and no criminal action to enforce the former’s right to recover will lie. The remedy of the creditor is a civil action for the recovery of the unpaid debt. Since the action is civil in nature, however, there is no way that the debtor may be imprisoned. The purpose

of the action is for the creditor to avail itself of the compulsory processes of the court to force the debtor to pay. While no person may be imprisoned for nonpayment of debt, an obligation acquired through fraud may be criminally prosecuted. In such case, the fraudulent act of securing the debt, and not his default in paying it, is punishable. The obligation arises from acts ex-delicto and is therefore not considered a debt under the constitutional provision. Applying the above-mentioned laws, your debtor-friend cannot be impris-

oned solely on the basis of his non-payment of debt, including the interest. However, if it can be discovered later on that the obligation was acquired through fraud, then he may be criminally liable. The above legal opinion is based solely on the appreciation of the facts and problem given and stated above. The opinion may vary when other facts, circumstances, and situations are stated. For more information and for further queries, you may contact the Legal Aid Office of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines Davao City Chapter at ibpdavao@gmail.com.

HENRYLITO D. TACIO THE COLOR OF FRIENDSHIP “A single soul in two bodies” was how philosopher Aristotle described a friend. To Len Wein, afriend is “someone who is there for you when he’d rather be anywhere else.” Father Jerome Cummings considers a friend as the person who “who knows us, but loves us anyway.” Ralph Waldo Emerson believes a friend is “the masterpiece of nature.” But the definition I like most is the one which Dinah Craik (author of 1859’s A Life for a Life) penned: “A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one’s heart chaff and grain, together. Knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what’s worth keeping and blow the rest away.” Recently, I got an email from a friend. He forwarded me a thought that is not only inspirational but also loaded with lessons in life. The author is unknown but the title itself is captivating: “The color of friendship.” I read it – with much gusto – trying to figure out what color I am – as a friend. At the end of the piece, I surmised that whatever color

we want to be, we will always be friends. Read on… Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. All claimed that they were the best, the most important, the most useful and the favorite of them all. Green said: “Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority.” It reminds me of the song, “Green, green grass of home.” Blue interrupted: “You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing.” Now, I know why the sky is blue.

Yellow chuckled: “You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, and the stars are yellow. Every time

you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun.” Sing with me that song all over again, “Tie a yellow ribbon ‘round the old oak tree…” Orange started next to blow her trumpet: “I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and papayas. I don’t hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you.” Remember “Orange”, a song performed by Irish comedian David O’Doherty? Red could stand it no longer he shouted out: “I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood – life’s blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the

poppy.” Which song should we sing: “Woman in Red” or “Red River Valley”? Purple rose up to his full height; he was very tall and spoke with great pomp: “I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey.” Purple rain was what comes to mind! Finally Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination: “Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace.” And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their fight became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightning thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly.

The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort. In the midst of the clamor, God began to speak: “You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don’t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me.” Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands. God continued: “From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow.” And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another. “A friend knows the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails,” Donna Roberts said. C.S. Lewis also stated, “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.”

Magnolia also got a break when Pinto left the game for good at the 3:36 mark of the third quarter after cramps on his left leg while Allein Maliksi fouled out with still 2:44 left in the game.

During Go Negosyo’s Bakuna Town Hall virtual meeting on Friday, Concepcion said lifting the mandatory quarantine reduces cost for travelers and will help in reviving the tourism sector.

Jose Abad Santos native handicrafts production eyed as a growing industry

he native handicrafts produced by the B’Laan and Manobo tribes in Jose Abad Santos (JAS) town in Davao Occidental, is seen to be a growing industry in the municipality.

JAS Mayor Jason John Joyce took pride of the tribes’ handicraft produce such as baskets made of nito plant and wooden furniture products made of drift woods. “The nice wooden products are made of drift woods, assembled by our indigenous people to make wonderful furniture,” Joyce said in today’s episode of the Laging Handa Network Briefing with Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar. The mayor asked the

tos.

Secretary’s assistance in promoting the native handicrafts to gain domestic and international markets. Having fishing and agriculture as the main industries of the municipality, Joyce also bragged about their abundant aquatic resources which include first-class fishes like tuna, malasugue (blue marlin), tanguige as well as lobster. For the agriculture industry, he said that JAS and the other municipalities of

Davao Occidental lead the copra production in Davao Region. “All our 26 barangays are planted with coconuts. We also have corn and abaca.” Being a coastal and rural town, JAS also offers many beautiful destinations for tourism, such as black and white sand beaches, waterfalls and rock formations. Another tourist attractions are the “parola” or lighthouse and the 42-feet Christ the Redeemer structure which can be seen at the Joyce Paradise owned by the mayor’s family. Joyce said the brown-colored Christ the Redeemer symbolizes the rich indigenous people’s culture in Jose Abad San-

ers since its launch in June 2020. “The bank is optimistic that its deposit/account base will continue to grow with its continuing effort in reaching more OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers) groups/Filipino communities abroad as it advocates for greater digital financial inclusion by making formal financial services much more accessible and convenient,” she said. Martin said as of end-September this year their account holders are based in 116 countries and territories that include the Philippines, United Arab

Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Qatar, Singapore, United Kingdom, Canada, Taiwan, and Kuwait. The bank is part of the recent first-ever Retail Dollar Bond (RDB) offering of the government, facilitating 242 transactions, amounting to USD203,200 (PHP10.285 million), from 33 countries and territories. The minimum investment for RDB is USD300 and these can be topped up in increments of USD100. “The Bank takes part in the collaborative promotion of financial inclusion

and digital transformation by providing an array of reliable and secure financial and investment products and services to meet the diverse requirements of migrant Filipinos and their families,” Martin said. Martin added that the bank is now preparing services that will allow OFBank account holders to access and invest in Unit Investment Trust Fund and pay their contributions to the Social Security System, Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, and the Home Development Mutual Fund or Pag-IBIG Fund. (PNA)

“We have abundant blessings from the sea and mountains. So, our tagline for tourism is Reefs to Ridges,” he stated, adding that they are still developing other tourist attractions while the town is still on lockdown. JAS is located at the southernmost tip of the Philippines, at the mainland of Mindanao, which can only be reached through private vehicles as of present. The municipality is a coastal area which has a stretch of 70 kilometers, and 90% of the population comprised of indigenous peoples from the Manobo and B’laan tribes. (PIA-XI/ Carina L. Cayon)

OFBank eyes hiked share in gov’t financial inclusion bid

trengthened programs supporting the government’s financial inclusion and digital financial transactions bids are seen to further boost the number of account holders of the government’s official digital bank, Overseas Filipino Bank (OFBank).

73 establishments in R-11 awarded with Safety Seal OFWs’ personal remittances rose to $2.889B in Aug.- BSP

oney sent by overseas Filipinos grew in August as further reopening host countries for migrant workers globally continues, data released by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) showed. Central bank data showed that personal remittances — the sum of transfers sent in cash or inkind via informal channels — stood at $2.889 billion last month, up 4.8% from the $2.756 billion posted in the same month last year. This brought the yearto-date personal remittances to $22.672 billion, up 5.9% from $21.414 billion recorded in the January to August 2020 period. “The growth in personal remittances in August was due to remittances sent by land-based workers with work contracts of one year or more, which increased by 4.2% to $2.207 billion from $2.118 billion in the same month last year, and seaand land-based workers with work contracts of less than one year, which grew by 8.4% to $629 million from $580 million a year ago,” the BSP said. Cash remittances —

money transfers coursed through banks — amounted to $2.609 billion in August, up 5.1% from $2.483 billion registered in August 2020. “The growth in cash remittances was due to the increase in remittances from land-based workers and sea-based workers, which rose by 4.1% to $2.032 billion from $1.952 billion and 8.6% to $577 million from $531 million, respectively,” the BSP said. Year-to-date cash remittances totaled $20.38 billion, up 5.7% from $19.285 billion in the same period last year. “The growth in cash remittances from the United States (US), Malaysia, and South Korea contributed largely to the increase in remittances in January-August 2021,” the central bank said. In terms of country sources, the BSP said the US registered the highest share of overall remittances at 40.7% in the first eight months of the year, followed by Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, South Korea, Qatar, and Taiwan.

ore than 73 establishments in Davao Region have secured a Safety Seal Certification under the government program that is aimed to assure the public of establishments’ compliance with the minimum public health standards (MPHS). In the One Davao Virtual Presser today, Department of Trade and Industry XI (DTI) senior trade and industry development specialist Dexter Bermudez shared that more establishments in the region have applied to the Safety Seal Certification Program as their way of enticing more clients to patronize their products and services and ensure them with a safe and

secure environment. “Currently, 73 establishments were awarded by DTI with the safety seal; while 40 establishments are scheduled for inspection,” Bermudez added. Twenty-three of those with safety seal are groceries; 18 are those from the construction industry; 15 are barbershops and salons; 11 are convenience stores; while two are pro-

viding logistics and from the services sector. The DTI issues certification to groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, hardware stores, outlets of logistics service providers, barbershops and salons, and repair shops. The Department of Tourism (DoT) covers applications from hotels, resorts, travel and tour services, meetings, incentives, conferences, and events (MICE), and restaurants inside the hotels or resorts. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) issues safety seals for manufacturing, construction sites, utilities, information and communication companies, and warehouses.

Local government units (LGUs) handle the safety seal application of malls, wet markets, retail stores, restaurants outside hotel/resort, banks, money changers, pawnshops, car wash, laundry service providers, libraries, review centers, gyms and spa, cinemas, arcades. The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) or Philippine National Police (PNP) are assigned to issue safety seals to city halls, provincial capitols, all other LGU facilities and buildings, police camps and stations, Bureau of Fire Protection Offices and stations, jails, barangay halls and facilities, and all other public establishments.

According to Mayor Rellon, each household would only pay 300 pesos monthly for 5 years to get their certificate of land title. Meanwhile, 248 Tagumenyos who are recipients of notice of awards and transfer certificate of titles also received these documents earlier, making up the 600 beneficiaries just this month alone. He also added that although we are

Meanwhile, big corporations in the country described Davao Region and Mindanao as a powerhouse that can influence possibilities not just on a regional level, but also on a national level. Ella Gonzales-Batingan, National Shopper Marketing Manager of Alaska Milk Corporation, described Mindanao as a promised land amidst the wilderness. “It is blessed with incredibly rich resources, human capital, and favorable conditions enough to propel exponential growth when tapped with the right governance, focus and support,” she said. On his end, Arsalan Khan, National Sales Director of Nestle Philippines, Incorporated, was bullish about the Mindanao market and its power to spur the FMCG industry. “Mindanao offers endless business possibilities. For fast-moving consumer goods, the retail infrastructure is rapidly evolving which provides organizations a strong platform to launch new concepts,” he said. Khan said the business community in Mindanao is very dynamic and the consumers appreciate good value for money products and services. “This is indeed the right time to be part of the Mindanao business landscape,” he said. Wilhelmino Nicolasora Jr, Vice President for Domestic Sales at Century Pacific Food, Inc., highlighted Mindanao’s potential as a global economic player despite the challenges faced by the region. “We have to break through the negative image of Mindanao painted by local and international media over the years.

While the initial timeline for his return from knee surgery was six to eight weeks, he wound up missing more than half of the season before making his NBA debut in late January of 2020. At the end of last season, Williamson missed New Orleans’ final six games after fracturing his left ring finger.

Magnolia through to Finals Loaded Lakers remain winless in preseason

ACRAMENTO, Calif. — De’Aaron Fox scored 21 points and Richaun Holmes had 15 points and 10 rebounds in Sacramento’s 116-112 victory over Los Angeles. Early in the second half, the Lakers called a timeout after LeBron James landed awkwardly attempting to make a play on the defensive end. Trainers tended to him during the break and

he returned to play. James scored 30 points, Russell Westbrook had 18, and Carmelo Anthony 15. Anthony Davis added 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Deandre Jordan had 12 points and 11 rebounds. The Kings finished the preseason unbeaten in four games, while the Lakers wound up winless in six outings.

agnolia Ang Pambansang Manok is flying to the Finals. The Hotshots turned back Meralco to claim a 93-85 victory Friday and the first PBA Philippine Cup finals seat at the Don Honorio Ventura State University Gym in Bacolor, Pampanga.

Ian Sangalang notched game-highs of 19 points and 14 rebounds in leading a Hotshots crew that outworked the Bolts for majority of the game to wrap up their best-of-seven semifinals duel 4-2 and advance to the similar race-to-four championship series against either San Miguel Beer or TNT. Both Sangalang and

coach Chito Victolero now hope the grueling experience they just went through would help toughen their team up in the finals. “Nakita n’yo naman kung gaano kahirap magclose ng series, sobrang hirap,” said Sangalang, who also added six assists and two steals. “Pero kami ginawa lang naming talaga kung ano dapat gawin para ma-close ang series na ito,” added the 6-foot-7 slotman. “Once na nag-trabaho kami meron kaming chance manalo.”

“They gave us a very good series. Grabe rin silang mag-trabaho, grabe rin effort na ibinigay nila,” said Victolero, whose team got off to another flat start, even trailing by as many as 11 points early. “But I give credit to my players, especially down the stretch. We executed. Grabe talaga trinabaho nila,” added Victolero. “Alam namin na sobrang mahihirapan kami. We faced the No. 2 team and grabe rin talaga effort na ibinibigay nila. Thank God, ibinigay niya rin sa amin ang lakas.” Raymond Almazan also had his own double-double of 16 points and 12 rebounds while the likes of Chris Newsome, Allein Maliksi and Nards Pinto also did their part in trying to help Meralco extend the series.

It’s just that Magnolia simply willed itself to the bounce-back game from a 98-102 loss in Game 5 last Wednesday that delayed the Hotshots’ return to the finals where they have been to in 2018 and ‘19. Concrete example of Magnolia’s resolve was its 57-44 superiority in the rebounding battle, including 22-13 off the offensive glass that resulted in a whopping 23-8 advantage in second chance points. After averaging 21 points in the series’ first three games, Paul Lee was held to just 11 in the last two and managed only three charities in Game 6 after missing all his nine tries from the field. Calvin Abueva also fouled out with still 4:36 to go, putting a sorry end to an 11-point, six-re-

Williamson to miss first week of season

N The Lakers are still struggling to find a win in the preseason.

EW ORLEANS — Pelicans forward Zion Williamson is now expected to miss at least the first week of the regular season because his recovery from surgery to repair a right foot fracture is taking longer than anticipated. “Nothing has gone wrong and there is no setback,” Pelicans basketball operations chief David Griffin said after practice Thursday (Friday, Manila time), adding that Williamson will be re-evaluated in about two-and-a-half weeks. “It just takes a certain period of time” for bones to heal and “every player is differ-

KAI HYPE

VOL.14 ISSUE 184 • SUNDAY-MONDAY, OCTOBER 17-18, 2021

Much ado about Kai in Adelaide

here is just too much hype especially from the Filipino community across the Land Down Under that Adelaide 36ers fans are asking them to stop. Luka Siro wrote on a comment on the 36ers Facebook page: “The Kai fetish needs to stop.” Kim Kymbo also wrote: “Getting sick of all the Kai fanboys on here. In case you didn’t know, basketball is a team sport. Stop putting all this unnecessary pressure on Kai. He doesn’t need it. He’s still developing and learning.” The build up is feverish indeed as the former NBA G League prospect Kai Sotto is finally expected to see oncourt action at the Australia National Basketball League (NBL) Blitz preseason starting November 14. The Adelaide 36ers are grouped in the unique twoweek pocket tournament with the host team Tasmania JackJumpers, Brisbane Bullets, New Zealand Breakers, Cairns Taipans and the winningest NBL team Perth Wildcats. The other four NBL teams will be grouped to play one another in games hosted across Victoria and New South Wales. The new NBL season, originally slated to launch on November 18, will kick off on December 3. In this unique preseason, the winner will be awarded the Loggins-Bruton Cup, named after NBL Hall of Famers Leroy Loggins and Cal Bruton, while the tournament’s best player will win the Ray Borner Medal. A point system will be the basis of team standings in the two-week tilt. All games
