BOOSTING THE BOOST City gov’t to bring booster vax rollout to BPOs, banks, restos

By MAYA M. PADILLO

T

he city government of Davao through its Vaccination Cluster is intensifying its vaccination campaign by bringing the booster vaccination rollout right at the doorsteps of private establishments such as Business Process Outsourcing (BPOs), restaurants, and banks in Davao City.

“We are also talking with the establishments labi na and BPO, banks, restaurants na kung kinahanglan kita muadto para ma-booster ang ilahang

katawhan, like malls kung kinahanglan muadto ta sa ilaha para ang ilang mga employees ma-booster, buhaton nato through sectoral approach,” said

Dr. Michelle Schlosser, spokesperson of the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force.

Schlosser said the main objective is to give booster doses to the employees of the private establishments but if there are employees who have not yet taken the first and second doses, they will also be catering them.

“I believe kani na mga sectors ang ilahang employees if not 100 percent,

taas na ang number of employees na fully vaccinated,” Schlosser said.

She said the approach of the city government of Davao through the vaccination cluster is now sectoral by visiting the offices of the security sector and private establishments to vaccinate more people.

“We are very fortunate na naay ubang sectors na naga help sa atoa para ma-secure gyud na ma-

bangon gikan sa bagyong Odette ug sa kalisud nga dala sa COVID-19 pandemic ug ang umaabot nga kalisud dala sa giyera sa Russia ug sa Ukraine. Nagapasalamat ko kay Willie Revillame sa pag imbita sa amoa dinhi nga mutambong sa iyang show ug kaninyong tanan mga taga-Cebu, daghang salamat,” the statement said.

The statement also said that Revillame has joined millions of Filipinos in supporting Mayor Sara’s vice presidential bid.

“Basta Ma’am Sara,

kung ano’ng maitutulong namin sayo, kung ano’ng maitutulong ko, kung kailangan mo ako, walang kabayaran, ang gusto ko lang ang ngiti sa labi ng ating mga kababayan,” Revillame said on his show Wowowin.

Revillame said Sara’s leadership is needed especially in ensuring that every Filipino is afforded their basic rights to education, health, and security.

“Marami ng batas na ginawa senado. Pero ang batas ng tiyan ng bawat Pilipino at batas ng pangangailangan ng bawat

Pilipino, yon ang kailangan nating gawin. Kung walang pera, walang pang-aral, paano na? Yan ang ilalapit natin sa mahal nating ilaw ng tahanan, walang iba — Mayor Inday Sara Duterte,” it said.

It can be recalled that on February 16, 2022, One Cebu Party, the local party of Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia, expressed its long-standing support for and endorsement of the vice-presidential bid of Mayor Sara.

City sets up booths for vax certificate

D

r. Michelle Schlosser, spokesperson of the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force, said Dabawenyos can now access their vaccination certificate at the VaxCertPH booths set up at the different malls in Davao City.

The VaxCertPh booths were opened at SM Lanang Premier, Abreeza Mall, Gaisano Mall Bajada, SM Ecoland, and Gmall of Toril.

The opening of booths aims to give Dabawenyos the convenience of accessing their vaccination certificate because back then it was difficult for them to download their vaccination

certificates online for international travels and travel to other LGUs. “Before we had had mga concerns asa nila kuhaon ang ilahang mga vaccination certificate for those who want to travel abroad and to other LGUs na nanginahanglan ug certificate.

On his call to Filipinos to support candidates who will consider and prioritize the continuity of the present programs and initiatives implemented by the Duterte Administration that benefit the poor and vulnerable sectors:

Kung sino po iyong makakatulong na Presidente, kung sinong makakatulong (sa taumbayan), iyon po ang ating tulungan.”

Senator Christopher “Bong” Go

EDITORIAL Presidential musings A week ago, President Rodrigo R. Duterte was reported to have hoped that the next president of the Philippines is a lawyer. The report triggered a discussion whether a lawyer could indeed be a better president than one who has no legal training.

The President’s statement was intriguing given that there is only one lawyer among the five leading candidates for president – Vice President Leni Robredo. Is Mr. Duterte endorsing the vice president over former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso, Sen. Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao and Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson, who are non-lawyers?

Let’s review our history to get an idea as to the trainings of our former Presidents. The ex-presidents up to Martial Law were Emilio Aguinaldo, Manuel Quezon, Sergio Osmeña, Sr., Manuel Roxas, Elpidio Quirino, Ramon Magsaysay, Carlos P. Garcia, Diosdado Macapagal and Ferdinand E. Marcos. All except Aguinaldo and Magsaysay were lawyers.

After the EDSA Revolution, the Presidents were Corazon Aquino, Fidel V. Ramos, Joseph Ejercito Estrada, Gloria Macapaga-Arroyo, Benigno S. Aquino III and Duterte. All were non-lawyers, except Duterte.

What is the experience of the United States of America, the country whose political and electoral systems we copied.

A California-based professor stated: “What do the following Presidents have in common, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt? All are frequently voted by historians as amongst the 10 best US Presidents – and all are lawyers or law school graduates.

Now, in expressing his hope that the next President will be a lawyer, did President Duterte imply that he is endorsing VP Leni for President in the May 9, 2022 election?

Our take is. Not necessarily. The reporters could have taken his statement out of context.

He made the remarks while being interviewed by Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy, his friend and spiritual adviser Saturday last week.

Preesident Duterte did not exactly say or argue that a lawyer can be a better President.

What he told Pastor Quiboloy was that the next President should be compassionate, has a good judgment of character and is decisive. These were the characteristics the Filipino people should look for in selecting the next President.

“Hindi naman ako nagsasabi it’s the best quality, but one of the qualities of a president, sana abogado, isang tingin mo lang, maka decide na kaagad. And the repercussions, alam mo kung ano.

VP President and a certain Jose Montemayor are the only lawyers among the current candidates.

No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than they once were. - by Anthony KennedyDear IBP, Meron pong ibang babae ang husband ko. Kaso, wala po akong ebidensya kagaya ng video, pictures, o kahit chat nila. Ang anak ko lang po na ten years old ang nagsumbong na yung kapitbahay namin na hiwalay sa husband niya ay palaging natutulog sa kwarto namin at maingat na umaalis sa umaga.

May nag message din po sa akin na kumalat na daw ang balita na hiwalay na ako sa husband ko dahil sumama daw ako sa foreigner. Anim na buwan pa lang po ako sa abroad bilang OFW. Babalik na lang po ako sa Pilipinas para kunin na lang ang anak ko dahil wala na po akong tiwala sa husband ko at nakakahiya na kami ang laman ng mga tsismis.

May laban po ba ako kahit wala akong hawak na ebidensiya? Tinawagan ko po husband ko, pero kagaya ng dati, lagi na lang siya deny ng deny. Sigurado po ako na kapag magkaharapan kami sa korte, madami na naman siya alibi o palusot. Ano pa ba gagawin ko.Napakasakit po, hindi po ako makatulog, masyado pong affected ang isip ko at ang anak namin sa ginawa ng husband ko.

Liza OFW

Dear Liza OFW, If indeed your husband has

an extra-marital affair and has the temerity to bring his mistress inside your marital bed, there is still other evidence to prove your case other than pictures, videos, or romantic chats with his mistress.

If your worry is because of the absence of physical evidence, or that, if because of his denial, your case will not prosper, then have more faith in our justice system.

In the case of XXX Vs. People of the Philippines,G.R. No. 241390. January 13, 2021, the Supreme Court stated that “It is fundamental that the defense of denial is inherently weak and cannot prevail over the positive and categorical testimony of the prosecution witnesses. Other than bare denials, herein petitioner did not proffer any convincing defense to disprove the testimony of his wife and his daughter about his marital infidelity. As such, there is no cogent reason to set aside the findings of the RTC, as concurred in by the CA, that indeed, petitioner committed marital infidelity against his wife.” In this case, the witness’ testimonies were given credence, not considered hearsay, and became admissible as independently relevant statements.

It also seemed that, as per your story, you suffered mental or emotional anguish. Your mental anguish and suffering can be proven during the hearing. In order to establish mental anguish, you can narrate your testimony, including your personal experiences.

In Dinamling v. People, the Court explained that: Psychological violence is an element of a violation of Section 5(i) just like the mental or emotional anguish

caused on the victim. Psychological violence is the means employed by the perpetrator, while mental or emotional anguish is the effect caused to or the damage sustained by the offended party.

To establish psychological violence as an element of the crime, it is necessary to show proof of the commission of the acts enumerated in Section 5(i) or similar such acts. And to establish mental or emotional anguish, it is necessary to present the testimony of the victim as such experiences are personal to this party. While the petitioner sorely attempts to downplay the effect of his marital infidelity, the pain and suffering of his wife are without a doubt real and raw and far from being imaginary. Just because the wife was not bodily present to witness the unfaithfulness of her husband, it does not negate the emotional pain and anguishes his infidelity caused her. Worthy to mention also is the observation of the CA that Barangays x x x and x x x are proximately close and are situated within the town of x x x. Indeed, gossip easily spreads in small towns like x x x. All the more when the hot issue is about a husband bringing his mistress into the family home to live with his children. In this case, the mental anguish suffered by the wife is compounded by public ridicule and humiliation.”

By bringing a mistress to your marital home, the said act is within the ambit of psychological violence, through marital infidelity, which caused mental anguish and emotional suffering, in violation of Section 5(i) of R.A. No.

9262, committed through any of the following acts: (i) Causing mental or emotional anguish, public ridicule or humiliation to the woman or her child, including, but not limited to, repeated verbal and emotional abuse, and denial of financial support or custody of minor children of access to the woman’s child/ children.

The elements of the afore quoted crime are as follows: 1.

The offended party is a woman and/or her child or children; 2., The woman is either the wife or former wife of the offender or is a woman with whom the offender has or had a sexual or dating relationship, or is a woman with whom such offender has a common child. As for the woman’s child or children, they may be legitimate or illegitimate, or living within or without the family abode; 3. The offender causes on the woman and/or child mental or emotional anguish; and 4. The anguish is caused through acts of public ridicule or humiliation, repeated verbal and emotional abuse, denial of financial support or custody of minor children, or access to the children or similar such acts or omissions.

Psychological violence is considered an indispensable element in violation of Section 5(i).[16] It is defined in Section 3(c) of R.A. No. 9262 as: C. “Psychological violence” refers to acts or omissions causing or likely to cause mental or emotional suffering of the victim such as but not limited to intimidation, harassment, stalking, damage to property, public ridicule or hu-

miliation, repeated verbal abuse, and marital infidelity. It includes causing or allowing the victim to witness the physical, sexual or psychological abuse of a member of the family to which the victim belongs, or to witness pornography in any form or to witness abusive injury to pets or to unlawful or unwanted deprivation of the right to custody and/or visitation of common children.

Most likely, the trial court will give greater weight to your categorical and positive testimony and that of your daughter over the defenses of denial and alibi of your husband. Your testimony will be considered under the doctrine of independently relevant statements which holds that conversations communicated to a witness by a third person may be admitted as proof that, regardless of their truth or falsity, they were actually made. Evidence as to the making of such statements is not secondary but primary, for in itself it (a) constitutes a fact in issue or (b) is circumstantially relevant to the existence of such fact.

Although you did not personally see your husband’s marital infidelity, your daughter’s testimony will be given great weight. So, do not lose hope. It is right to uphold your right as a wife. Remember that there is no union that is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family.

But since your husband breached this union, then you must stand up and not forget to love your self first.

Remember, “How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you.” – Rupi Kaur

ANTONIO V. FIGUEROA FAST BACKWARD

DECODING DATU BAGO’S NAME Datu Bago, Davao City’s hero, is called in some accounts as Amilbangsa Campsa Harial, an appellation that is popular among Muslims. In other historical chronicles, the datu goes by an alterna-tive name, i.e., Mucamad Amilbansa Harial, which came in the August 13, 1804, letter of Caraga provincial governor Salvador Ximenez Rendon, or simply Campsa Harial.

The etymology of Amilbangsa Campsa Harial is quite interest-ing in that it brings together loanwords from three languages, namely Arabic, Indonesian, and Sanskrit.

Muslims are known to adopt many names, even coining new ti-tles that appeal. Change of name is personal, and among Islamic believers, this is done to focus the start of a new chapter in a per-son’s life, especially in

embracing a new faith, namely Islam.

Mucamad is a variant of Muhammad or Macmud, meaning ‘the praised one.’ Etymologically, the loanword has its origin in Ara-maic but was later Arabicized.

Amilbangsa, on the other hand, is a combination of Arabic ‘amir,’ meaning ‘commander,’ and Indonesian ‘bangsa,’ which re-fers to a nation. Amilbangsa, therefore, means the ‘commander of a nation,’ though not necessarily that of a sovereign state.

Amir is also transcribed as emir, ameer, or amier but according to accepted online versions, refers to ‘a male monarch, aristocrat, holder of high-ranking military or political office, or other person possessing actual or ceremonial authority.’

Campsa and Harial, mean-

while, have Sanskrit origins.

Campsa, a variant of Kamza or Kamsa, is a proper noun while Harial, which has no relation to but is homophonic with Israel, is translat-ed in Hindu language as ‘a (green) pigeon.’

Historically, Sanskrit originated from Hindu via Java, Indone-sia, the seat of the Srivijaya empire in the 13th and 14th centuries. Under Hindu rule, Java Hindu, a linguistic subbranch, developed and spread the Sanskrit to many southeast Asian places through trade and commerce.

Moro conquest of Java in the 15h century eventually gave way to the entry of Arabic names, often influence by Syriac Aramaic.

As the Islamic faith established foothold in former animist settlements in Mindanao, Arabicized proper names started to surface

in writ-ten accounts.

There is no extant record providing a hint when Davao’s ruler adopted Mucamad Amilbansa Harial as his ‘official’ name.

In oth-er accounts, he is known simply as Datu Bago, and at times as Da-tu Mama Bago, which seems to underline gender and newness to the position of power.

Names, by studying their etymologic and orthographic prove-nance, also afford us a perspective into what might historical events were transpiring prior to and during a person’s life. Though the choice of names is also a personal image of someone’s profile, the correctness of the preference does not necessarily reflect the true image of the selector.

Some names, many of these designations, are entitlements.

The attachment of ‘amilbangsa’

to Datu Bago’s name, for instance, could be an affirmation of his being a ruler, regardless of territorial size or expanse of control. A title can be self-chosen, imbued, or adopted to identify the rival ruler. But why do the records often call the Davao chieftain as simply Datu Bago?

As far as existent, Campsa Harial, in reference to Datu Bago, is found in Jesuit chronicles and a few more travel logs. In Muslim tarsilas or genealogies, the most conspicuous appellation that is linked to Davao’s foremost chieftain is the entry ‘Datu Bago.’

Moreover, names and titles attached to rulers of dominions also open discourses on how appellations and their provenance help a historiographer unearth the roles sovereigns play in the formation, change, and decadence of kingdoms.

Bulk Water System project in Mati City to start soon

T

he P296.5 million Bulk Water Supply Project in Mati City is expected to start this April.

The project is expected to help solve the perennial problem of inadequate water supply in the city.

A project of the Provincial Government of Davao Oriental, the construction of the bulk water project will be undertaken by Mactan Rock Industries Inc. the lone bidder of the project.

The bulk water project will use surface water during the wet season and ground water during

dry seasons. The facility can provide clean potable water to water retailers in the city like the Mati Water District, Ruwasa and Balibago Waterworks. The Bulk Water Supply System will be constructed along Mayo River.

The project will provide clean water to 11 villages in the city; Mayo, Don Salvador Lopez, Don Enrique Lopez, Don Martin Marundan, Dahican, Bobon, Tamisan, Lawigan, Matiao, Central and Sainz.

“This is a long overdue project of the province. I conducted a survey to find out the main problem of the residents, when the survey came out I discovered that their number one complaint has been the lack of water,” the Governor said.

Governor Dayanghi-

Unemployed Filipinos down to 2.93M in Jan. 2022: PSA

T

he number of jobless Filipinos declined in January this year despite the stricter quarantine level in Metro Manila, the country’s economic capital, for almost the entirety of the month, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported on Friday.

At a virtual press briefing, PSA chief and National Statistician Claire Dennis Mapa said the number of unemployed adults, or those aged 15 and above, in January stood at 2.93 million, reflecting an unemployment rate of 6.4%.

This is lower than the 6.6% unemployment rate recorded in December 2021 and around 340,000 short of the 3.27 million jobless recorded in the last month of 2021.

January 2022’s unemployment rate is also the lowest since the peak of the COVID-19 lockdowns in April 2020, when the alltime high unemployment rate of 17.6% or 7.3 million jobless was recorded, according to Mapa.

To recall, the National Capital Region and several other areas of the country were placed under Alert Level 3 from January 3 to January 31 to quell the spread of the Omicron variant and the surge in new COVID-19 cases.

Under Alert Level 3, several establishments will be allowed to operate at 30% indoor venue capacity but exclusively for fully vaccinated people and 50% outdoor

venue capacity as long as employees are fully vaccinated.

In-person classes, contact sports, funfairs/perya, and casinos are among the activities and establishments that are prohibited under Alert Level 3.

While the number of jobless adults eased in the first month of the year despite the stricter mobility restrictions, Mapa said this was not “significantly different” as the labor force participation rate — the percentage of individuals who are actively looking for work in the adult population — slipped to 60.5% from 65.1% in December 2021.

In terms of magnitude, the number of labor force participants stood at 45.94 million in January, a decline of about 3.61 million adult Filipinos who were either employed or unemployed from 49.55 million in December 2021.

“Ang nakikita ng datos ng PSA, mas kumonti ang nag-participate sa labor force (What the PSA’s data show is that labor force participation declined),” Mapa said, explaining how quarantine restrictions impact labor force participation.

Employed, underemployed While the number of jobless individuals declined, employed Filipinos also declined to 43.02 million during the first month of 2022 from 46.27 million in December 2021.

However, in terms of employment rate, January’s print was at 93.6%, slightly higher than December last year’s 93.4% amid the lower labor force participation in the first month of the year due to stricter mobility restrictions during the period.

“Another reason for lower employment levels is the end of the holiday season which shed off seasonal jobs.

Despite this, net employment remains at 0.5 million above the pre-pandemic level,” the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Secretary Karl Chua said in a separate statement.

The quality of jobs also declined as the underemployment rate - the percentage of persons with jobs or livelihoods but expressed desire to have additional hours of work or to have an additional job - increased to 14.9% from 14.7%.

“The Omicron surge caused a temporary decline in our employment levels.

Now that we have contained the spread of the virus and shifted to alert level 1 in most parts of the country, we look forward to an improvement in employment outcomes in the coming months,” Chua said.

Shift to Alert Level 1, in-person classes to boost employment

W

hile the unemployment rate declined, fewer Filipinos were able to work amid the Omicron surge in January 2022, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said.

As reported by the Philippine Statistics Authority on Friday, the unemployment rate improved from 6.6 percent in December 2021 to 6.4 percent in January 2022, the lowest since the start of the pandemic.

However, due to the Omicron surge in January, the labor force participation rate fell from 65.1 percent to 60.5 percent.

Another reason for lower employment levels is the end of the holiday season which shed off seasonal jobs.

Despite this, net employment remains at 0.5 million above the pre-pandemic level.

The level of underemployment also slightly increased from 14.7 percent to 14.9 percent.

“The Omicron surge caused a temporary decline in our employment levels.

Now that we have contained the spread of the virus and

shifted to alert level 1 in most parts of the country, we look forward to an improvement in employment outcomes in the coming months,” Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua said in a statement.

Since March 15, 2022, 70 percent of the economy has already shifted to alert level 1. This means that more restrictions were removed on travel and capacity limits on establishments were eased.

This translates to an additional PHP10.8 billion per week of economic activity for the country and 195,000 less unemployed over the next quarter compared to alert level 2.

Chua also underscored the need to reopen all schools in alert level 1 for face-to-face learning as this will provide a big boost to the economy, enable children to learn more, and allow more parents to go back to work.

“We reiterate the need for the full and urgent resumption of face-to-face classes to maximize the benefits of alert level 1. This can increase economic activity by around PHP12 billion per week due to the return

of related services around schools. It will also free up the time of parents, one in four of whom have to skip or reduce work hours in order to assist their children with online classes at home,” he added.

To cushion the most vulnerable from the impact of inflationary pressures due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the government will distribute targeted subsidies amounting to PHP6.1 billion.

Among the primary beneficiaries are transport and agriculture and fisheries sector workers.

At the same time, the government is also planning to provide unconditional cash transfers of PHP2,400 for the bottom 50 percent of households to mitigate the impact of rising prices of basic goods.

The NEDA has also recommended a four-day workweek, with 10 hours each day, as a measure to help conserve energy and reduce transportation costs.

The same strategy was employed during the 1990s in the midst of the Gulf War and in 2008 amid high oil prices.

A food delivery rider braves the heavy downpour along Chavez Street in Davao City.

Fuel prices projected to roll back big time on Tuesday DTI lists over 16K delivery riders for fuel subsidy

S

ome 16,233 delivery riders from four lastmile delivery service (LMDS) platforms are qualified for the fuel subsidy provided by the government to ease the impact of soaring oil prices.

Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) chief of staff and Undersecretary Ireneo Vizmonte said the agency has submitted the list of accredited delivery riders qualified for fuel subsidy to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).

“Ito ay ginagawa natin in coordination with platforms, iyong mga last-mile delivery service provider.

Sa kanila po natin kinukuha yung mga pangalan, sino po ba iyong mga accredited independent riders (We are doing this in coordination with platforms, those last-mile delivery service provider. We get the names from them and verify those accredited independent riders),” Vizmonte said in a radio interview Friday.

The DTI obtained the list of independent riders from

LMDS providers, and the department reviewed the list to ensure there is no name duplication from the four LMDS platforms.

Vizmonte said independent riders are those with no employer-employee relation with the LMDS companies.

“Sa delivery riders ay pinag-iisapan ay through e-wallet dahil meron na sila noon to receive their subsidy, ‘di na kailangan ng bagong card (For delivery riders, they are looking into providing it through e-wallet because they have already that to receive their subsidy. So new cards are no longer needed),” he added.

Public utility vehicle drivers are getting PHP6,500 credited to their Pantawid Pasada cards.

The LTFRB earlier said delivery riders may be getting subsidies lower than PHP6,500.

The government has allocated PHP2.5 billion for fuel subsidies this year once global oil prices hit an average of USD80 per barrel for three straight months.

A

fter 11 straight weeks of hikes, motorists may expect a sigh of relief in the coming week as pump prices of petroleum products are projected to roll back big time.

Citing data of oil trading in the past four days based on the Mean of Platts Singapore, an oil industry source said that the price per liter of diesel may go down by P12.51.

Gasoline prices, meanwhile, may be slashed by P6.57 per liter.

The estimated price adjustments, however, are still subject to change

depending on the day’s trading results, the same source said.

The local oil industry uses Mean of Platts Singapore, the daily average of all trading transactions between buyers and sellers of petroleum products as assessed and summarized by Standard and Poor’s Platts.

Fuel firms usually announce price changes

every Monday and implement the adjustments on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi floated a possible oil price rollback next week due to the recent developments in countries such as China, Ukraine, and Russia.

Cusi said that fuel prices in the country may also go down next week if such a trend continues and reach $104 to $105 per barrel.

On Tuesday, fuel firms hiked diesel by P13.15 per liter, gasoline by P7.10

per liter, and kerosene by P10.50 per liter.

Prices of petroleum products have increased for 11 consecutive weeks since the beginning of the year, bringing the year-todate adjustments for diesel at a net increase of P30.65 per liter, gasoline at P20.35 per liter, and kerosene at P24.90 per liter.

The government released fuel subsidies for both public transportation and agriculture sectors to cushion any inflationary impact of the rising fuel prices.

crease in reserves reflected outflows largely from the National Government’s payments of its foreign currency debt obligations and downward adjustments in the value of the BSP’s foreign currency-denominated reserve assets and gold holdings,” the statement said.

The BSP said December 2021’s GIR level is equivalent to 9.6 months’ worth

of imports of goods and payments of services and primary income.

It also equivalent to 7.2 times the country’s shortterm external debt based on original maturity and 5.1 times based on residual maturity, the BSP added.

Despite the decline, the country’s economic managers have said the GIR contributed to the country’s

strong overall macroeconomic performance during the pandemic.

BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno earlier said the country’s “hefty” reserves shielded the country from the monetary policy actions of the US Federal Reserve.

The US Fed on Wednesday raised interest rate for the first time since 2018 to address inflation.

Barnes had 31 points and 17 rebounds, Gary Trent Jr. scored 23 points and Fred Van Vleet 20.

Precious Achiuwa scored 18 points, but made a costly turnover in the final seconds of regulation that led to Westbrook’s tying 3 with less than a second to play.

Toronto looked to have the game won after Trent hit a go-ahead 3 with 25 seconds left, and James and Westbrook both missed from distance at the other end, with Trent grabbing the rebound on Westbrook’s shot.

Los Angeles got a break when Achiuwa turned the ball over with 5 seconds left and Westbrook hit a tying 3 with less than 1 second remaining. Toronto couldn’t get a shot off on its final possession, sending it to OT. The Lakers made their first six field-goal attempts of the game, including three from long range, to lead 155, but Toronto reclaimed the advantage with a 18-3 spurt. Making his first start for Los Angeles, Gabriel shot 6 for 6 in the first quarter and scored 14 points as the Lakers led 33-30 after one.

James scored 12 points in the second. Los Angeles led 59-55 at the half, but Barnes had 12 in the third as Toronto took an 89-88 lead to the fourth.
