City gears for the booster shots of A2, A3 groups By MAYA M. PADILLO

he city government of Davao is now in the planning stage for the implementation of booster shots to priority groups belonging to A2 and A3.

A2 are senior citizens aged 60 and above while A3 are persons with comorbidities not otherwise included in the preceding categories. Dr. Michelle Schlosser, spokesperson of the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force, said the city government is waiting for the booster vaccines to be provided by the national government as well as

the logistics that the city needs. “But rest assured that we are already in the planning process for A2 and A3,” she said. Schlosser also said that Davao City will still follow the prioritization group in administering booster vaccines. She also said booster shots with be administered if the vaccinees have at least six

months or more from the time they completed their two doses. “Although nag- announce na ang national DOH that the booster shots be opened to priority groups. However, in Davao City, we follow the prioritization group para hapsay ang paghatag and we cannot give booster if dili at least six months or more from the last na complete nila ang vaccination. Therefore, unahon sa nato ang A1 just like before followed by A2, A3 and the rest ang other priority groups,” she said.

Currently, booster vaccines are administered to the Priority A1 population or the health workers. The Department of Health (DOH) announced that health workers or those belonging to priority group A1 may choose the Ccovid-19 vaccine brand as their booster shot. This is based on the DOH Memorandum Order No. 0484 on the operational guidelines on administering booster shots, released on November 17, 2021 the first day of ad-

gional Committee (SMRC); Wena Teklonay alias “Sirena”, supply officer of Platoon Basil of SMRC; Arnel Guabong Empit alias “Ronel”, a former courier of Guerrilla Front (GF) 53, SMRC; and alias “Uyo”, a member of GF Musa, Far South Mindanao Region. Almerol attributed the series of surrenders to the growing trust of some NPA rebels in the government,

which is “relentless in its delivery of programs and basic services, not only to the surrenderers but also to the people living in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDAs).” “The government’s presence and delivery of basic services are already felt by the people who are living in far-flung areas, unlike in the long-distant past when their needs were ne-

glected,” he said in the statement. Tausan and Teklonay surrendered to troops of the 1003rd Brigade in Barangay Sto. Niño, Talaingod, Davao del Norte on December 1, while “Uyo” and Empit surrendered separately to soldiers of the 73rd Infantry Battalion (73IB) and 72IB under the operational control of the 1002nd Bri-

he Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom), in partnership with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), on Friday distributed farm inputs to boost the livelihood of selected beneficiaries from the provinces of Basilan and Tawi-Tawi amid the pandemic. The selected beneficiaries from Barangay Muslim Area in the municipality of Maluso, Basilan province received assorted farming tools and equipment that included two trailers, a power tiller, a gasoline-powered water pump, a water tank and hose, vegetable seeds, and several gardening tools. Amin Pansulani, barangay chairman of Muslim Area, Maluso, received the farm implements. The farmer and women sector of Barangay Baguindan, Tipo-Tipo, Basilan received four units of cassava graters worth PHP62,000 each. Ilma Ajanti, the parent-leader of Baguindan, received the farm implements on behalf of the farmer and women sector beneficiaries in the village. The Badjao tribe of Bongao, Tawi-Tawi received fishing gear and equipment that included motorboat engines, plastic water tanks, and fishing nets. Badjao tribe chieftain, Isnaj Kingkaw Nurlagi, received the livelihood implements. Winston Aylmer Camarinas, UNDP Cotabato field office head, said the agency supports the existing livelihood of the farmers and

women in the communities. “Through this, we will be able to sustain the gains of peace and address poverty, which is one of the root causes of criminalities and worst, terrorism,” Camarinas told the farm implement recipients. “To the beneficiaries of the equipment that we distributed today, I hope these will help uplift your lives. Life is difficult due to the pandemic but don’t lose hope because there’s a brighter day ahead,” Maj. Gen. Alfredo Rosario Jr., Westmincom chief, said in his message to the beneficiaries. Rosario, whose message was read by Col. Wendell Basat, Westmincom Civil-Military Operations officer, assured the beneficiaries that the military would be with them side by side to protect them. He commended the sponsors and supporters of the project, including the Embassy of Japan, Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process, the provincial government of Basilan, and the UNDP. “The men and women in uniform appreciate the role of our partners and stakeholders in achieving our vision of a peaceful and progressive community, devoid of the threats of terrorism, extortion, and extremism,” Rosario said. “We have already gained a substantial headway in achieving inclusive and sustainable peace, which signifies that indeed cooperation and the involvement of everybody is the key to moving forward.” (PNA)

Good but not enough: Covid-19 TF

ood but not enough. That’s the assessment of the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force after the three-day Bakunahan sa Barangay fell short of the daily vaccination target. Dr. Michelle Schlosser, spokesperson of the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force, said on Wednesday that the city wasn’t able to meet 49,000 per day vaccinees but was able to garner ample numbers, for the first day the city was able to vaccinate roughly 30,000 vaccinees; the second day 23,000; and 24,000 for the third day. “That is actually a good number compared to other LGUs. Also ubay-ubay naman ang atoang nabakunahan diri sa Davao City,” she said. From the target of 70

percent herd immunity for the first dose, the city currently is now at 87 percent accomplished or vaccinated a total of 1,136,577; and 75 percent accomplished for the second dose or 967,053 doses administered. “It’s an achievement for the vaccination cluster, although, it’s not yet enough. It’s a good number but not enough para ma-achieve ang atoang goal which is 100 percent. Kana pa siya ang atoang tabangan, again very fortunate ta diri sa Davao City kasi naa gyud ang spirit of bayanihan,” Schlosser said.

In assessing the three-day Bakunahan sa Barangay which fell short of the daily vaccination target:

That is actually a good number compared to other LGUs. Also ubay-ubay naman ang atoang nabakunahan diri sa Davao City.” Dr. Michelle Schlosser

Spokesperson of the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force

EDITORIAL Pandemic of the unvaccinated Marcus Lamb, a 64-year-old televangelist based in Texas who frequently railed against COVID-19 vaccine mandates on his show, died last Tuesday, weeks after contracting the virus. He was unvaccinated. On the other hand, Jay Jay Phillips, an “America’s Got Talent” contestant has reportedly died from COVID-19. He was 30 and also still unvaccinated.

Lamb and Phillips are the latest unvaccinated personalities who recently succumbed to the virus. Their names are added to 14 others who died of COVID-19 after failing to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The celebrities and the circumstances of their demise are as follows:

KRISTEN LOWERY: She left behind four children. Lowery, 40, was a figurehead on social media, proclaiming her anti-mask and vaccine views that garnered high praise.

STEPHEN HARMON: Harmon, 34, who lived in Los Angeles, mocked Covid-19 vaccines. He died of the virus on July 21, 2021, Riverside County Sheriff’s Department told local media.

HAI SHAULIAN: The well-known Israeli anti-vaxx leader Hai Shaulian died of COVID-19 on Monday (September 13, 2021) morning at Wolfson Medical Center in Holon, Israel. The anti-vaccine activist said ‘there’s no epidemic- the vaccine is unnecessary and dangerous’. DANIEL TRUJILLIO: Daniel ‘Duke’ Trujillo, 33, died in May from “COVID-19 complications”. Trujillo, an ex-Marine and the Denver Sheriff’s deputy, had shared a string of anti-vax posts on social media, according to The Daily Mail. MARC BERNIER: Bernier, a Daytona, Florida, talk radio host dubbed himself “Mr. Anti-Vax” in December while assuring his listeners “I’m not taking it.” Bernier contracted COVID-19 and his death was announced by his radio station –– WNDB — which had awkwardly acknowledged his on-air “anti-vaccine” commentary just before his passing.

DICK FARREL: Farrel Austin Levitt, 65, known professionally as Dick Farrel, was an American conservative media personality and anti-vaccine activist. The Newsmax radio host spent the last weeks of his life claiming that the vaccine is “Bogus B*** s**t],” referring to the pandemic as a “SCAM DEMIC,” and suggesting that the delta variant is an elabo-

TOD TUCKER: On August 11, 2021 Tod Tucker, a pro-Trump radio programmer, died “following the onset of viral pneumonia as the result of COVID-19,” according to his employer. JIMMY DEYOUNG SR.: DeYoung, 80, a religious radio host, was hospitalised August 7, 2021 for COVID-19 and died not long after.

PHIL VALENTINE: Valentine, 61, a talk radio host and vaccine skeptic, in a blog post, advised those who are not in the “high-risk” demography to not get the vaccine, and bet that his odds of dying from COVID-19 were “way less than one percent.”

BOB ENYART: Enyart, 62, pastor of the Denver Bible Church, died Monday (September 13, 2021), according to a Facebook post by his co-host, Fred Williams. Enyart’s Real Science Radio Show website lambasted what he described as the “imagined” burden of COVID-19 cases on hospitals, offered advice on treating the virus from the Bible, and accused “fake news” outlets of exaggerating the severity of the virus. He had opted against getting the vaccine, citing the nonsensical claim that COVID-19 vaccines rely on “cells of aborted babies SAMMIE-JO FORDE & HEATHER MADDERN: The anti-vaxxer mother-and-daughter team died just days apart in a Belfast hospital after they contracted Covid-19, leaving their family “devastated”. The BBC reported that Sammie-Jo Forde, 32, died in the Ulster hospital on Saturday (September 11, 2021), where she had been treated on the same ward as her mother, Heather Maddern, 55, who died on 31 August.

KALI COOK: The Texas girl, 4, died in her sleep after contracting COVID-19, likely off her vehemently anti-vax mother, Karra Harwood. “I was one of the people that was anti, I was against it,” the mother was quoted as saying. “Now, I wish I never was.” ALEXANDRA BLANKENBILLER. Tiktok creator and artist Alexandra Blankenbiller posted her last video on August 15 from her hospital bed. Voice raspy, breathing with the help of a machine, she pleaded with her followers to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Need say more?

WHAT IS SEXUAL ASSAULT? The situation presented by the person making this query is as follows:

My brother was accused of rape. He was separated de facto from his wife last year during the lockdown. Their child stayed with my brother. This June of 2021 the child reported that her father touched her private part when he was drunk and was asleep. The father denied this. They sleep in one room, together with his live in partner with her three kids. He alleges that he does not sleep beside his [dalaga, the age was not given] daughter. The question being asked is what should the father do about this accusation against him. There is ambiguity in the

facts presented, as it alleges touching the private part of the daughter when the father was drunk and he was asleep. Might it be possible that the father was drunk and the child was then sleeping when the act of touching the private part or sexual organ was made which might have awakened the child? Was the touching tantamount to sexual assault, where he inserted his finger to her sexual organ? Considering that the accusation is that of rape, the latter interpretation is logical. The Revised Penal Code as amended states, to wit: Art. 266-A. Rape. When and How Committed.- Rape is committed--1. By a man who shall have carnal knowledge of a

woman under any of the following circumstances: a. Through force , threat or intimidation; b. When the offended party is deprived of reason or is otherwise unconscious; c. By means of fraudulent machination or grave abuse of authority; d. When the offended party is under twelve (12) years of age or is demented, even though None of the circumstances mentioned above be present. 2. By any person who, under any of the circumstances mentioned in paragraph 1 hereof, shall commit an act of SEXUAL ASSAULT by inserting his penis into another person’s mouth or anal orifice,

or ANY INSTRUMENT OR OBJECT, into the genital or anal orifice of another person. It appears from the circumstance presented that the alleged rape done falls under the category of rape by SEXUAL ASSAULT. As to the question, what should the father do regarding the accusation against him by his daughter? If he is already detained or in jail, he has the option to avail himself of preliminary investigation and submit his counter-affidavit/s. He might request for free legal assistance from the Public Attorney’s Office. The likelihood that the case might be filed is high, it is the word of his daughter as against him. The defense of denial is weak and

considering that this would involve the credibility of the parties, it is within the province of the court to hear and evaluate the evidence. It must however, be borne in mind that no daughter in her right mind would fabricate such charge against her father. He has to face the music. IBP Davao Corner is a weekly column of Integrated Bar of the Philippines- Davao Chapter, giving legal advice as part of its legal aid program.

HENRYLITO D. TACIO THINK ON THESE!

SAVING MOTHER EARTH In the beginning, Mama Earth emphasized on the ending of drift-net fishing, the fur trade and factory farming around the world. “These activities confronted us with the global timber scarcity and the alarming deforestation rate,” says Ulrich Kronberg, a German national who is the president of Mama Earth Foundation. Since then, the foundation’s primary focus has been on reforestation. “Our projects are always accompanied by programs which improve the lives of the local population,” he explains. “For this is the way to counter the overexploitation of primeval, natural and tropical rainforests.” When God created the earth, He gave man dominion over it. But man did a lousy job. Instead of taking care of what rightly belonged to him, he opted to ruin it. From two people during the Creation, the world is now home to approximately 7.5 billion, this despite all efforts to stop the demographic explosion. “More people means greater needs,” Kronberg reminds. “This has led to an increase in demand for raw materials which are extracted from earth to the fullest.” If this trend continues, the

world might collapse. To reverse the apocalypse, mitigation is needed. “There are no simple solutions; the connection which keeps organism earth alive are too complicated,” laments the German journalist who now calls Davao City as his second home having stayed in the country for more than a decade now. “No book, as voluminous as it may be, can describe all paths which are possible and necessary in the field of environmental protection and nature conservation,” he adds. “So where does one start? Whoever wants to tackle everything is bound to fail.” Mama Earth considers people as the most important asset, which makes their priority clearly defined. “First of all, people need at least 10,000 liters of clean air a day for breathing,” he explains. “Clean air takes precedence over all other needs. Crystal clear water and abundant meals are worthless without adequate breathing air.” To produce oxygen required for breathing, plants and trees are needed which “consumed” the carbon dioxide humans emit. “Trees and forests produce abundant oxygen, so we need more of it,” he says. “A full-grown tree can

supply at least 10 people with breathing air.” He gets that idea from Prof. Dr. Jorn Wittern who said: “A broad-leafed tree produces 2 kilograms of oxygen in one hour, a person consumes 2 kilograms of oxygen per day, every liter of gasoline which powers a motor or a turbine consumes 2 kilograms of oxygen.” This is the main reason why Mama Earth is batting for reforestation as “every tree counts.” In fact, Kronberg considers forests as “air conditioning systems.” Trees make this planet conducive to living. Now, let’s listen to Kronberg: “Any individual, who drives 10,000 kilometers yearly with his car that consumes on average 8 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers, burns 800 liters of gasoline. This results in 1,864 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year.” To balance the carbon dioxide emissions, that person needs to plant 133 trees every year, according to Kronberg. One of the foundation’s most successful tree planting took place in the Island Garden City of Samal in Davao del Norte. “The successful planting of over 1.2 million

mangroves for the fishermen around the Davao Gulf is almost completed,” he reports. “A lot of shore zones have become breeding grounds for fish once more and a home to birds and reptiles.” This reintroduction of mangroves in Samal was “the first big planting project of Mama Earth,” he says. The reforestation was done in coordination with the government through the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The success of the project was due to the involvement of the community. “The concept is simple: the seeds (of mangroves) are collected by fishermen and their families and put into simple plant pot which are filled with mud to allow the mangrove seedling to grow. They are ready for planting five to six months later. In order to avoid transportation costs and stress for the seedlings, we let the inhabitants who live in the vicinity of the planting location grow them.” Currently, Mama Earth is doing what it calls a “wood investment.” Kronberg explains: “We are allowed to trade with wood investments since we give the farmers, who make their land

available and take care of the trees, the lion’s share of 50%. Every tree carries a number and can be unequivocally allocated to the investor. In order to engage in timber forestry effectively, we are focusing on two fine woods which enjoy a high level of demand: mahogany and teak.” All the planted trees are taken care of by the farmers themselves while Mama Earth monitors and keeps records of the growth to achieve best results. “We bring employment to the villages not only letting the farmers keep their lands but letting them also earn well from their lands,” Kronberg says. “Theft of trees is almost impossible since all live in neighboring communities.” Lito Plaza of Montevista, Compostela Valley was one of the beneficiaries of the project. Together with his wife and parents, they planted almost 2,200 trees on three farms. The outstanding debts they had were eventually settled after the harvest. Kronberg believes the projects would have failed had it not been for the involvement of the people. “Our work would not have been successful without the heart of the people,” he admits.

The LGU has so far depopulated 1,618 hogs and amortized some PHP5,878,500 to all hog owners depending on categories that include piglets at PHP 500 each; weanlings - PHP1,000; grower/fattener PHP4,000; and the boar and sow - PHP7,000. “The budget came from the local government units’ (LGU) calamity fund following the recent declaration of the state of calamity brought about by the ASF infestation, Encarnacion said.

NEDA’s Chua: Change metrics, treat COVID-19 as ‘endemic’

he Philippines’ chief economist is proposing to change the metrics on how the government responds to the COVID-19 crisis by shifting the perspective from being widespread into a more localized one. “The reality today is that the virus is not going away easily and we will have to live with it for a longer period of time, similar to the flu,” National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) chief and Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua said in his remarks during an Asian Institute of Management virtual forum on Wednesday. “This means changing our metrics, increasing vaccination, and minimizing severe cases and deaths,” Chua said. The NEDA chief said, “We need a shift from a pandemic to an endemic paradigm.” He said that some countries such as Singapore, Portugal, United Kingdom, US, Thailand, and South Korea have already decided to treat COVID-19 as endemic.

He added that globally as more people get vaccinated, death rates fall despite cyclical case surges. The same trend is expected to be seen in the Philippines as vaccination rates increase. With this, the country’s chief economist proposed to change the metrics used in making decisions as “this will align better to the objectives in an ‘endemic world’.” From the current metrics of relying total cases and total deaths on responding to the health crisis, Chua proposed a new metric of using the total number of severe or critical cases and case fatality ratio or the proportion of those who died from the total number of people diagnosed with the same disease. Chua said that among the benefits of changing metrics is it will reduce the need to raise alert level when cases go up, facilitate a shift in mindset to help people “live with the virus,” and focusing on the number of severe cases and the fatality ratio would help emphasize the importance of vaccination.

BIR wins P2.7-B tax case vs. cigarette company GSIs’ liabilities balloon to P9.9-T with latest reporting method

ocial benefit liabilities of government social institutions (GSIs) like the Social Security System (SSS), the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), and the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) have ballooned to Php9.935 trillion in 2020 from Php153.59 billion in 2019. This as the GSIs fully complied with the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) 4, said Department of Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III in a briefing Friday. Dominguez said the PFRS 4 is the current and interim accounting standard imposed on insurance entities in the country. “(W)hen an insurance entity receives money from its members and enters in a contract to provide their members monetary obligations when certain events occurred, it has to set aside a reserve to cover that liability,” Dominguez said. He added that private insurance institutions have been complying with this accounting system since 2005.

On the contrary, SSS, GSIS, and PhilHealth have been understating their liabilities as they have not been properly reporting their liabilities in their financial statements for 15 years, Dominguez added. He added that full compliance to the PFRS 4 sets an accurate picture of the social institutions’ financial position. Using PFRS 4, estimated social benefit liabilities of SSS jumped from Php12.9 billion in 2019 to Php6.8 trillion in 2020; from Php29.35 billion to Php2.04 trillion for GSIS; and from Php111.34 billion to Php1.13 trillion for PhilHealth. “(P)olicymakers will be able to make informed decisions and legislate reforms based on an accurate appreciation of the funding situation of the institutions,” Dominguez added. In the case of SSS which has a contribution increase set over the next few years, the new accounting system would tell not to defer any increases as “it will actually hurt the ability of the institutions in the future to meet their obligations”.

ed by the law and cannot be waived. Republic Act 10351, or the Sin Tax Reform of 2012, states that all cigarettes, whether packed by hand or by machine, shall only be packed in 20s and through other packaging combinations that shall result in not more than 20 sticks. In case of cigarettes packed in not more than 20 sticks, whether in 20 sticks, 10 sticks, or other

packaging combinations below 20 sticks, the net retail price of each package shall be the basis of imposing the tax rate. In January 2013, the PMFTC filed a suit before the Las Piñas Regional Trial Court (RTC), questioning the regulation and saying the new excise tax rate should be imposed only for cigarettes packed in 20s and should not be imposed on cigarette pouches of fives and 10s. The PMFTC, the Philippine affiliate of Philip Morris International, won after the RTC said the regulations are void. Then-finance secretary Cesar Purisima and former Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Kim Henares took the case to the Supreme

Court (SC), which issued a temporary restraining order against the RTC in June 2014. In 2017, however, the SC affirmed the RTC decision. The PMFTC filed for a refund two years later before the BIR and later with the CTA, arguing, among other things, that the two-year deadline to file a claim for refund should be deemed suspended while the case was pending before the SC. Ruling against a tax refund, the CTA decision uploaded recently said “under the present state of the law, the two-year prescriptive period runs from the date of payment of the tax, regardless of any supervening cause that may arise thereafter.” (PNA)

loans shall be used to finance the company’s capital expenditures, debt refinancing and for general corporate requirements. The telco said it invested a record level capital expenditure of P65.4 billion as of end-September 2021, surpassing last year’s full year invest-

ment of P60.3 billion. About 84% of the capex investment went to data network builds to address and elevate mobile and internet experience for a greater number of Filipinos. As part of its campaign to deliver first-world connectivity to Filipinos,

Globe said it sustained its network build momentum with 1,080 new cell sites, upgrading at least 12,900 sites including both 4G LTE and 5G, and installing over one million fiber-to-the-home lines, which already surpassed this year’s fullyear target.

he Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) ruled in favor of the government and against cigarette manufacturer Philip Morris - Fortune Tobacco Corp., Inc.’s (PMFTC) excise tax refund claim for the PHP2.7 billion it paid in 2014 and 2015 for packs containing less than 20 sticks.

The tribunal “has no recourse but to dismiss the petition considering that the two-year prescriptive period (under the Tax Code) is not only mandatory but is also jurisdictional,” stated the November 25 decision penned by Associate Justice Juanito Castañeda Jr. of the CTA 2nd Division.
