IMPROVING Davao City records lower positivity rate at 5.6 percent BY MAYA M. PADILLO

avao City is now enjoying a lower positivity rate compared to the previous weeks and is expected to continue if Dabawenyos will continue to follow the minimum public health standards and get vaccinated. “Our daily Covid-19 is really going down. In fact, our daily positivity rate naa nalang ta sa 5.6 percent as of October 25, this is desirable because our accepted na mababa na cases is actually 5 percent positivity rate. It is really a good

number,” said Dr. Michelle Schlosser, spokesperson of Davao City Covid-19 Task Force. Schlosset attributed the decline of the cases to the number of people who were already vaccinated against anti-Covid-19.

“I believe nalipay mo nga nagababa na ang atoang cases naa nata as 5.6 percent positivity rate per magpadapayon lang na kung naay contribution ang tanan ug ang contribution nato is to be vaccinated,” said Schlosser. She said the declining positivity rate is expected to continue if Dabawenyos continue to follow the protocols and get vaccinated. “Kinahanglan gyud magpabakuna para maachieve nato ang herd immunity. Of course dili nato

kalimtan ang pag follow sa minimum health public standards kasi kabalo man ta na epektibo gud na siya. But to top it all kung naa pa ta’y additional protection via sa atoang vaccination then mas maayo,” Schlosser said. As of October 27, 2021, a total of 873,933 Dabawenyos already received their first dose, while 773, 647 their second dose. She also said that all public vaccination sites al-

She added that for seven years, she feared for the life of Ram and often wondered what he was going through at the hands of the communist terrorist group (CTG). “What if my son was killed in an encounter?

These are my thoughts. I fear losing him and won’t be able to see him again,” Nora said. “I was afraid that if he will die in an encounter, they will bury them without us knowing,” she added. Ram, the vice commanding officer of Andoy Platoon under the Sub-Regional Guerrilla Unit (SRGU) Sub-Regional Command (SRC) 5, Southern Mindanao Regional Committee (SMRC), along with alias

Sander, the commanding officer of Basil Platoon, SRGU, SRC5, SMRC, got wounded during an evening encounter with government troops in Barangay Sto. Domingo, San Fernando, Bukidnon on October 24.

PRRD lauded for extending BARMM transition period

he Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) has expressed its gratitude to President Rodrigo Duterte for signing the legislative measure extending for three more years the transition period of the fledgling region. “We thank President Duterte and his administration for making sure that the GPH-MILF (Government of the Philippines - Moro Islamic Liberation Front) peace process will be successful. This is our shared legacy to Mindanao and the rest of the country,” BARMM Chief Minister Ahod Ebrahim said in a statement on Friday evening. The President signed Republic Act 11593 on Thursday, extending the life of the interim Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) and moving the regional elections from May 2022 to May 2025. “We thank our dear partners and allies who stood by us during this course – to our political leaders, civil society or-

ganizations, and to every Bangsamoro who continue to believe in the spirit of our struggle,” said Ebrahim, who also heads the MILF organization. He appealed to pessimists about the capacity of the new political entity to improve the lives of every Bangsamoro to join them in making this dream a reality for all. “It’s time to move forward, it’s time to set aside our differences, it’s time to help one another in transforming the Bangsamoro,” Ebrahim said. He likewise dismissed insinuations that the call for extension was aimed at extending the current appointed officials until 2025. “The extension, as we have always said, was never and will never be about power,” he said. Ebrahim pointed out that the establishment and triumph of the BARMM are not only directed to specific individuals or groups but the whole of Bangsamoro, especially to the next generation who will inherit the

Battalion (89IB) before being evacuated to the 10th Infantry Division (10ID) Station Hospital for further medical attention. Ram was then transferred to Camp Panacan Hospital in this city, while Sander was sent to the Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) for surgery. Lies and deceit After surviving the incident, Ram thanked the Armed Forces of the Philip-

pines for taking care of him. “I am very happy right now. When I was still there, I was not able to see my family because they [NPA} would not let me,” he said in the vernacular. He admitted he used to think of the military as barbaric and brutal, beliefs which the NPA had instilled in him. “They took care of me. Our cadres told us that when we will surrender,

Maria. In celebration of the 24th Indigenous Peoples Rights Act month, the free IP civil birth registration was among the activities that NCIP Davao Occidental organized despite the movement restrictions in the province due to the pandemic. The registration organized for the Tagakaulo indigenous cultural communities/IPs in Barangay San Roque in Sta. Maria, was in partnership with the municipal Local Civil Registrar (LCR). Provincial Officer Atty. Leonor T. Oralde-Quintayo of NCIP Davao Occidental, thanked the assistance of the barangay IP mandatory representative (IPMR), Bae Aurea Culano, and San Roque Brgy. Captain Regalado Baya. Another activity for the IP month celebration was the adopt-a-tree and tree planting joined by all NCIP Davao Occidental personnel and some IP participants

at Sitio Caldoz in Brgy. Little Baguio which is part of the Integrated Ancestral Domain Development Approach (IADDA) in Malita town. Quintayo said that despite the community quarantine protocols in the province, the programs and services of NCIP have continued to serve and benefit the IP communities. She cited that her office has facilitated the legal recognition and registration of seven ancestral domains in the province where the major IP tribes of Tagakaolo, Blaan and Manobo inhabit. She said that four (4) of the ancestral domains have already been approved, while the other three (3) are still on process. “One of the formally identified and registered ancestral domains is the Tagakaolo in Malita,” she added.

ureau of Customs (BOC) Davao District Collector lawyer Erastus Sandino B. Austria urged Manila-based logistics companies to establish a hub in Davao Region.

Austria promised logistics companies namely Angkas, E-taily, OneLGC, and Ninja Van that the Port of Davao will extend assistance to them when they explore creating a hub in the region. The said logistics companies talked about their services and how

they can further expedite the movement of goods coming in and out of Mindanao during the 2021 Davao Investment Conference (Davao ICON 2021) pre-conference “Mindanao as a Logistics Hub of ASEAN, First and Last Mile Logistics” on October 27, 2021, via Zoom.

Austria also emphasised that Davao Region is a viable and good destination for direct investments and an excellent logistics hub. “The attitude here in the port of Davao is realignment with the policy implementation with the needs of our stakeholders. At the end of the day when you removed the power of the agency, the bottom line is we are service provider and you are our clients. The relationship is that simple really,”

he said. On the other hand, Austria shared that since the beginning of the pandemic the Port of Davao has implemented stricter protocols to contain transmission of Covd-19. “To the extent that some of the processors were complaining but the idea behind it is we want to keep the workplace safe and secure because we could not afford to shut down in any unit or sub-unit in the port,” he said.

date yet when to rollout the booster shots. “We do not have the update yet as to when, but yes, I would confirm na meron na tayong usapan about sa booster dose labi na gyud sa atong frontliners,” Schlosser said. Last Monday, Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio disclosed that the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force has passed a resolution requesting DOH 11 to roll out booster shots for health care workers in all hospitals in the city. The mayor said that the

TF saw the need for a resolution in line with the manpower challenges in the hospitals brought about by the pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a booster dose as something administered to a vaccinated person who has already completed a primary vaccination series. A booster dose becomes necessary after the immunity and clinical protection provided by the original shots “has fallen below a rate deemed sufficient in that population.”

In a statement, the DOH stated that the agency is planning for the eventual provision of booster doses, which will continue to prioritize the health care workers and immunocompromised. However, such rollout will only be greenlighted once conclusive evidence of additional protection is available. The DOH reiterated that its policies and recommendations underscores principles of evidence-based medicine and equity. By Maya M. Padillo

UTANG AND OTHER FINANCIAL CHALLENGES Dear IBP Davao,

Naa unta ko ask ba about sa utang na 10 percent ang interest per month tapos naka collateral ang titulo sa balay sa akong mama. Originaly 30k iyang utang tapos naka hatag na siya interest na 9k. Since pandemic, walay kita iyang rental shop sa mga gowns. Posible ba nga maimbargo iyahang balay kay mao man gud gina sulti sa giutangan kay mao dw gicolateral. Ug tama ba na kwentahon jud ang interest 10% kay naa daw gipirmahan. Last year pa ni na utang sa akong mama mga August. Dili na siya katulog kay gusto jud sa giutangan nga pabayran na tanan pati interest. Ronald

Dear Ronald,

Indeed, the global pandemic has brought all of us – regardless of nationality and status in life – in hard times. And I have to admit that financial hardship is the one challenge gripping most of our letter senders. To date, the law putting a maximum on interest rate on loan has been suspended. The Supreme Court ruled in Leticia Medel et al. vs. CA (G.R. No. 131622, November 27, 1998) that with the issuance of Central Bank Circular No. 905 (by the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas under its authority provided by PD 1684) Act 2665, as amended, otherwise known as the Usury Law, is

ineffective or legally inexistent. Interest rate, to be effective, must be agreed by both parties in writing. In the case Villa Monte Cristy Realty and Development vs. Equitable PCI Bank (November 21, 2018), the Supreme Court ruled that the bank can even unilaterally impose the monthly repricing of the interest rate without the debtor’s consent since this is stipulated in the loan agreement. In this case, assuming that your mother voluntarily executed the loan agreement and the real property mortgage, then the creditor is right that his/her rights under these agreements can be imposed. Please take note though that there is a procedure for judi-

cial or extrajudicial foreclosure of mortgages and both must pass through the court. It is best then to bring copies of your agreements and title to your trusted lawyer so that these will be carefully reviewed and your options under these agreements can be discussed with you. In the face of financial hardship, remember the Golden Rule which says “do unto others what you want other do unto you.” So, if you want to receive love, then you better give love first. The same is true for money. If you want to receive money, then you better give 10% of your income to help others, especially your church. In the end, I believe that there is more to life than chasing after money. Being in

lockdown for twenty months now has taught me to live simply, value relationships more, and make the most of the present moment. I cannot change the past anymore and tomorrow – with the advent of more virile Covid-19 variants – might not even come.

HENRYLITO D. TACIO THINK ON THESE!

SAVING THE LOWLY SEAGRASSES Most Filipinos think deforestation – the clearing, destroying or otherwise removal of trees through deliberate, natural or accidental means – is bad because it can cause soil erosion, fewer crops, desertification, water crisis, loss of biodiversity, and increased gases in the atmosphere. “The Philippines is paying a high price for the destruction of its forests and a number of major problems confronting the nation can be traced directly to deforestation,” observed Peter Walpole of the Institute of Environmental Science for Social Change, adding that the Philippines is “one of the most severely deforested countries in the tropics.” When people say biodiversity, what mostly comes into their mind are those endangered species like Philippine eagle, Philippine tarsier, tamaraw and waling-waling. The habitats for most of these are the tropical forests. But what people don’t know is that the lowly seagrasses are also being threatened by deforestation. This is due to the siltation it brings when trees in the uplands are wantonly cut. In fact, the environmental group Seagrass Watch considers deforestation “one of the most significant threats to sea-

grasses.” “Philippine seagrass species richness and community leaf biomass decline sharply when the silt and clay content of the sediment exceeds 15 percent,” the group states in its website, seagrasswatch.org. No one pays attention to seagrasses because most people think they are “useless.” “Despite their high biodiversity and abundance, seagrass habitats are still poorly understood in our country,” said Dr. Miguel D. Fortes, the country’s foremost expert on seagrasses. “Hence, it appears only marginally useful when, in fact, the ecosystem plays significant economic and ecological roles.” Dr. Fortes, retired professor of the Marine Science Institute of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City considered seagrasses as among the most productive of coastal ecosystems, matching coral reefs and mangroves in terms of environmental and economic importance. “As meadows, seagrasses are an important link between land and ocean and support a high primary production,” he pointed out. Dr. Theresa Mundita S. Lim, when she was still the director of the Biodiversity Manage-

ment Bureau, decried: “In spite of the ecological and economic value of seagrasses, between 30 percent to 50 percent of the seagrass beds have been lost due to industrial development, ports, and recreation in the last 50 years.” Something must be done soon. “If seagrass beds continue to disappear, there will be serious economic and ecological consequences,” warns the regional office of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in Davao City. There is some confusion regarding the distribution of seagrass in the country. Some estimate only 975 square kilometers. Others, however, estimate approximately 22,000 square kilometers – based on remote sensing. Actually, seagrass meadows are rated the third most valuable ecosystem globally (on a per hectare basis), only preceded by estuaries and wetlands. “Underwater meadows of seagrass offer important protection against pollution to both humans and coral reefs,” said news dispatch released by the Agence France-Presse (AFP), based on a study published in the journal Science. “Places with healthy seagrass – where sponges, clams, small fish and other filter feed-

ers thrive – can reduce bacteria that is harmful to both people and marine life by up to 50 percent,” said the news dispatch. In the Philippines, the rapid disappearance of seagrass is due to the increasing population’s multiple demands upon the country’s marine environment as source of food, avenues of transportation, receptacles of waste, living space and source of recreation and aesthetic pleasures. The seagrass ecosystem is likewise adversely affected by mining of industrial minerals; oil spills caused by accidents, operational shipping and refinery activities; dredging and illegal associates. Dr. Fortes believed seagrasses are fast disappearing in this part of the world for economic reasons. “Huge tracts of these productive habitats are being dredged, filled, polluted, exploited, converted to other coastal uses or simply being destroyed, all in the name of economic development,” deplored Dr. Fortes. Seagrasses are neither algae nor seaweeds. Neither are they true grasses. They are monocotyledonous plants. Left alone and not disturbed in the quiet salty water of coastal zones, they form dense meadows resembling more familiar

undulating grasslands in the uplands. The seagrass is one of the most important components of the coastal ecosystem. It reproduces through rhizomes and seeds. It produces seeds annually which are dispersed by tidal currents. The Philippines has 16 species of seagrasses thriving along its coasts. This makes the country as having the second highest species of seagrasses around the world – after Western Australia which has more than 17 species of seagrasses. The Philippines has more seagrass species than Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. Dr. Lim said the Philippines has a total seagrass area of 27,282 square kilometers, which are widely distributed throughout the country: from Bolinao Bay (Pangasinan) in the north, Palawan and the Cebu-Bohol-Siquijor area to the center, and Zamboanga and Davao in the South. “Seagrasses are the least studied among the habitats in our coastal zones,” Dr. Fortes lamented. “As such, we know less than we need to in order to use them in solving coastal environmental problems as well as societal problems.” Let’s protect our seagrasses!

Meanwhile, in a separate statement, lawyer Naguib Sinarimbo, BARMM’s interior minister and con-

current spokesperson, also lauded Duterte for his continuing support to BARMM. “We thank the President for his continuing support to the Bangsamoro as he promised in our meeting in Malacañang early this week,” Sinarimbo said. “We congratulate the Bangsamoro people who have consistently supported the leadership of the BARMM.

MGBXI MONITORS INTENSE RAINFALL CAUSED BY A LOCALIZED THUNDERSTORM

Davao City - Davao City and its vicinities has experienced heavy to intense rainfall from 7:40 to 9:30 PM on October 25, 2021 brought by a localized thunderstorm. Prior to this event, PAGASA and MGB has already advised the public on the possible threats of severe weather disturbances brought by the onset of La Niña throughout the country. Moreover, PAGASA has recently declared the Northeast Monsoon (“Amihan” Season) which will bring heavy rainfall events. Based on the data of PAGASA, the Matina Station has recorded an hourly accumulated rainfall of around 15.8 mm while the Calinan Station recorded around 9.5 mm. Both stations have recorded a peak rainfall data at around 8:20 PM with 6.8 mm and 4.0 mm respectively. “MGB XI immediately activated our operations center and has been monitoring the situation since yesterday. This is to ensure that we are able to provide timely recommendations to the local authorities as regards the impact of the heavy rainfall especially on flooding and rain -induced landslides.”, says MGB XI Regional Director Atty. Jasper Alberto H. Lascano, EnP, CESO V. Flooding caused by several factors mainly attributed to riverine and urban flooding were experienced throughout the entire city. Few landslides were also reported on landslide prone barangays. Ongoing verification and post-disaster assessments were both conducted by the LGU/CDRRMO and MGB-XI. MGBXI Contact Person: Beverly M.

USD80 per barrel. BSP said the hikes in global oil prices are seen to result to higher power rates in areas being serviced by the Manila Electric Company (Meralco) as well as the prices of fish and fruits. It also noted that weakening of the peso against the US dollar is also another source of upside pressure on domestic rate of price increases. These factors are, however, seen to be “partially offset by the continued decline in rice and meat prices, reflecting continued arrival of pork imports,” it said. “Moving forward, the BSP will continue to closely monitor emerging price developments to help ensure that its primary mandate of price stability conducive to balanced and sustainable economic growth is achieved,” it added. Inflation decelerated to 4.8 percent last September from the 4.9 percent in the previous month, which is the highest rate since the 4.4 percent in January 2019. Monetary authorities expect inflation to remain elevated but to go down to within the government’s 2-4 percent target band by the end of this year. (PNA)

Harden shines as Nets down Pacers

ames Harden totaled a season-high 29 points, eight assists and eight rebounds and the Brooklyn Nets overcame a sluggish start to record a 105-98 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Friday night in New York.

Harden produced his most effective game this season two nights after admitting that he was still working his way back from a hamstring injury sustained in June during the playoffs. Harden, who entered averaging 16.6 points on 35.9 percent shooting, shot 5 of 11 and hit half of his 3-point attempts.

He also sank 16 of 19 free throws after entering the game having taken 15 free throws through the first five games. A 13-point second quarter from Harden helped the Nets erase a 16-point deficit. Harden later guided Brooklyn back from a slow start to the fourth. Harden returned with

8:44 remaining after consecutive hoops by Jeremy Lamb cut what was once a 14-point Brooklyn lead to 85-80. The Pacers forged a 90-90 tie on a free throw by Domantas Sabonis with 5:15 left. Harden hit a tiebreaking layup

with 4:56 remaining and assisted on LaMarcus Aldridge’s 15-footer for a 100-92 lead with 2:24 remaining. The star guard later connected with Aldridge on a dunk with 23.3 seconds left for a 105-97 advantage Kevin Durant added

22 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists for the Nets, who shot 44.7 percent from the floor and overcame missing 20 of 26 3-point tries. Aldridge contributed 21 to become the 48th player in NBA history and seventh active player to reach the
