Removal of face masks policy in Davao City depends on incoming administration By MAYA M. PADILLO

n official of the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force emphasized that there is no discussion yet on removing the wearing of face masks, however, the removal of its policy depends on the incoming administration.

‘At the moment wala pa napag-usapan ug wala gi-consider sa atong mayor na si Mayor Sara ang pagwala sa pag wear sa face mask, otherwise, kung bag-ohon siya sa incoming administration. But sa Covid-19 Task Force it (removal) is not considered and wala

pud napag-usapan,” said Dr. Michelle Schlosser, spokesperson of the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force, in an interview with Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR) on Friday. It can be recalled that in March this year, Vice President-elect Mayor Sara Dute-

rte-Carpio signed Executive Order (EO) No. 11, Series of 2022, known as An Order Lifting All Covid-19 Restrictions in Davao City including the use of the DQR for contact tracing. However, the said EO retained the wearing of face masks. “Although, we already lifted some of our restrictions such as social distancing pero nagpabilin ang atoang minimum public health standards which is wearing of face mask whether it be in closed

place or in an open space. Unless otherwise, dili na siya i-follow sa atoang incoming administration but at the moment our mayor already signed EO No. 11 and we will be abiding by that guideline,” Schlosser said. Cebu City Governor Gwendolyn Garcia was reported issuing an executive order making the wearing of face masks optional in open-space and well-ventilated areas to ease the burden of her pandemic-fa-

Walang tigil dapat ang serbisyo lalo na sa panahon ng krisis na ito,” he stressed. Citing the need to elevate the status of the country as a producer of leaders, experts, and authorities in the field of medicine particularly nursing, Go also filed a bill

amending the Philippine Nursing Act of 2002 in the Senate in 2019. SB 395, also known as the “Advanced Nursing Education Act of 2019”, seeks to protect and improve the nursing profession by instituting measures that will result in relevant nursing education, humane working conditions, better career prospects and a dignified existence for our nurses. “Naka-focus masyado ang ibang kasalukuyang programa sa pangingibang bansa ng mga

nurses natin. Gusto kong maisama ang community integration and immersion sa kanilang mga curriculum upang mahikayat naman natin silang magtrabaho sa mga pamayanan dito sa Pilipinas,” Go said. Among the important measures for HCWs passed in the 18th Congress include Republic Act No. 11712 which Go was one of the authors and co-sponsors.

he release of the P500 monthly cash aid for low income families is targeted to be rolled out before the term of President Rodrigo Duterte ends this month, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) said Saturday. DSWD spokesperson Director Irene Dumlao said the Department of Budget and Management, National Economic and Development Authority, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, and the DSWD issued a joint memorandum circular containing the guidelines for the distribution of the monthly subsidy in May. With this, she said, “Itong P500 na ayuda, maaari na tayong makapagsimula sa pamamahagi nito bago magtapos ang termino ni Pangulong Duterte.” (We can start distributing the P500 subsidy before the term of President Duterte ends.) Dumlao made the remark after she confirmed

that the cash aid remained undistributed, three months after Duterte approved it. In March, Duterte ordered that the monthly cash aid for the country’s poorest of the poor be increased from P200 a month to P500 a month amid the rising cost of fuel and other basic commodities. Dumlao said the target beneficiaries are the bottom 15% of the population or about 12.4 million low income households. She said that qualified beneficiaries include those under the Conditional Cash Transfer program, beneficiaries of the Social Pension program, and other poor households as identified by the DSWD’s National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction. The DSWD official said the monthly cash grant will be given at P1,000 every two months for a period of six months. Earlier, the Palace said

ers during the state of public health emergency. “Republic Act No. 11712, which I was among those who authored and co-sponsored, covers all public and private medical, allied medical and other personnel who are assigned in hospitals, laboratories and medical or temporary treatment and monitoring facilities,” Go explained. “Sa ilalim ng batas na ito, mas maraming healthcare workers na ang makakatanggap ng allowance. Hindi na limitado sa

mga directly exposed sa COVID-19 patients dahil sabi ko nga, lahat naman ng frontliners na naka-duty sa mga ospital ay maituturing na exposed sa banta ng COVID-19,” he added. “Kaya dapat masiguro na maimplementa ito ng maayos. Huwag na natin sayangin ang oras. Ibigay ang dapat ibigay na naaayon sa batas,” he reiterated. Under RA 11712, public and private HCWs are entitled to health emer-

Sanctions to be imposed against habitual 4Ps cash card pawning PH formalizes P289-M grant for BARMM, PCG from Japan

okyo will provide a 710 million Japanese yen (approximately PHP289.6 million) grant aid to the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) announced Friday. The grant was formalized during the exchange of notes between Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. and Japanese Ambassador Koshikawa Kazuhiko on Thursday. “Japan’s provision of medical equipment for 10 hospitals within the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and 13 portable generators for the Philippine Coast Guard demonstrates Japan’s commitment to help uplift the lives of the Filipino people and enhance the country’s maritime enforcement capabilities,” Locsin said in a statement. Koshikawa said addressing the medical and socio-economic development needs in the BARMM region will extend the peace process promoted by the Philippine government “and which the Japanese government is happy to support”. The Japanese Official Development Assistance (ODA) under the Econom-

ic and Social Development Programme for the BARMM is a provision of JPY500 million (approximately PHP204 million) worth of medical equipment for hospitals, including medical oxygen pipeline systems, dialysis machines, oxygen generating systems, medical waste autoclaves, and monitors and ventilators. The BARMM beneficiary hospitals are Iranun District Hospital, Maguindanao Provincial Hospital, Sulu Provincial Hospital, Cotabato Regional Medical Center, Amai Pakpak Medical Center, Datu Blah Sinsuat Memorial Hospital, Tamparan District Hospital, Dr. Serapio Montaner Memorial Hospital, Datu Halun Sakilan Hospital, and Lamitan District Hospital. The PCG, on the other hand, will receive 13 units of portable generators worth JPY210 million (approximately PHP85.67 million) to benefit coast guard district stations in BARMM, Metro Manila, Central Cebu, Northeastern Luzon, Pangasinan, El Nido, Davao, Southern and Southwestern Mindanao, Iloilo, Batangas, and Northern Mindanao. The generators can support the shore power supply requirements of the country’s vessels, includ-

with the first offense, 30 households with the second offense, and 16 households delisted for committing the third offense. “If first offense ang nagprenda or on validation wala sa iyahang custody ang iyahang cash card or ID ilahang kasabutan, we

will give that household a warning letter to inform the household nan aa silay offense sa atong program; second if ilaha gihapon himoon, and ilahang household will be issued second warning letter naka stipulate kung unsa ang ilahang gihimo ug nag agree sila ug ilang gihimo ug ang possible mahitabo sa ilaha if ever ilaha gihapon usabon, dili na namo sila hatagan ug warning letter pero i-case manage na sila sa atoang case managers. We will have to note kung unsay reasons sa iyahang pag cash pawning and unsa ang

maong interventions para mitigate ni ang iyahang action. If there is no behavioral change ug makit-an na habitual na ang pag- pawn sa iyahang cash card, that is the third offense and the household will be delisted sa program,” Sampiano said during the Kapihan sa PIA at NCCC-Victoria Plaza on Friday. Sampiano said that based on their monitoring the common reasons why the beneficiaries engage in cash card pawning are due to emergencies and others were deceived by some

ater-type seating/lounge. DLI President Ricardo “Cary” Lagdameo said DLI’s new office is expected to boost collaboration, creativity, and group meetings among its employees. “Damosa has been continuously growing, even our headcount has grown. We really wanted to move into this beautiful building and we saw it also as an opportunity to come up with a different kind of office that promote collaborations, teamwork,

and group meetings rather than a comfortable office where you just sitting in your own cubicle but here we wanted you to have a lot of collaborations and you noticed there is a lot of seating areas where it’s a lounge but you can have your meetings with two or three people, you don’t have to be in a formal boardroom, what you saw in the back parang collaboration area, you can even sit there in an amphitheater type seating and you

can even work there. What we are going to promote is you don’t have to work in your workstation all the time, you can go anywhere around the office,” said Lagdameo in an interview. DLI is a homegrown property developer and is part of a business conglomerate Anflo Group in Davao City. Among its developments include Seawind, its first condominium development; Damosa Diamond Tower; Ameria,

he regional office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD 11) emphasized that cash card pawning will lead 4Ps (household) beneficiaries to be sanctioned and if they will make it a habit they will be delisted from the said program. John Ruzcel Sampiano, Regional Grievance Redress officer of DSWD 11, told media that cash card pawning is the top grievance committed by the beneficiaries. He said for this year, there are already 478 households sanctioned

ATTY. IRESHA LOU GENERALAO IBP DAVAO CORNER

Good day IBP Davao.

Sinisingil na po ako ng mga credit collectors ko. Pero minsan medyo beyond the line na po sila kung maka demand and tawag. Legal po ba yan? Ano po ba pwede i-complain sa mga ganun? Tanong Rachel

Dear Rachel:

As a rule, creditors, such as credit card companies or their collection agents, have the right to demand payment from their debtors when the obligation becomes due. This usually happens when the debtor has been delinquent in paying his or her account. A creditor can take reasonable measures in

demanding payment to compel the debtor to pay. This includes making threats to enforce his or her claim in court. In the case of Lee vs. Court of Appeals, 201 SCRA 405, the Supreme Court stated that such practice is legal as there is nothing unlawful on the threat to sue. It is a practice followed not only by banks but even by individuals to demand payment of their accounts with the threat that upon failure to do so an action would be instituted in court. Thus, the said a threat is legal within the realm of the law as a means to enforce collection. However, it must always be remembered that a creditor may only do legally appropriate acts in trying to collect from his or her debtor. If there comes

a time when the creditor acts beyond the limits of law, legal responsibilities would attach to him and the debtor would have a ground to sue in court. However, even if the said credit card companies or their collection agents have the right to collect the payment of his or her debtor, it should not resort to unfair collection practices. As can be gleaned from Subsections. 4301 N. 14, Manual of Regulations for Non-Bank Financial Institution as amended by Circular No. 454, s. 2004, unfair collection practices are the following, to wit: (a) use or threat of violence or other criminal means to harm a person, his reputation or property; b) use of obscenities, insults, or profane language

which amount to a criminal act or offense; (c) disclosure of the names of credit cardholders who allegedly refuse to pay debts, unless authorized by law; (d) threat to take any action that cannot legally be taken; e) purposely communicating or threatening to communicate false credit information; (f) any false representation or deceptive means to collect any debt or to obtain information concerning a cardholder; and (g) making contact at unreasonable/inconvenient hours before 6:00 A.M. or after 10:00 P.M., unless the account is past due for more than sixty (60) days, it is with express permission, or said times are the only reasonable or conve-

nient opportunities for contact. Under Republic Act (R.A.) No. 7653, known as the New Central Bank Act, the violation of the said rules by the credit card company or its collection agent would make them liable administratively and criminally. They might also be criminally liable under the Revised Penal Code, and civilly liable under the Civil Code. In view of the foregoing, the credit company or the collection agent’s threat to sue per se is not actionable. But if this is accompanied by the above-mentioned acts, you may file appropriate civil, criminal, and administrative complaint against the credit card company or its collection agent for the protection of your rights.

HENRYLITO D. TACIO THINK ON THESE!

DENGUE SEASON Okay, it’s the rainy season now and so expect dengue cases to rise again in the city. This is the reason why June is celebrated every year as National Dengue Awareness Month. From January to May this year, a total of 654 dengue cases, including three deaths, have been recorded by the Davao City Tropical Disease Prevention and Control, according to the City Information Office (CIO). It was stated in a press release that the ancillary unit under the City Health Office is constantly conducting prevention and intervention efforts to combat dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases in the city. In addition, the control unit also conducts intervention measures like fogging upon request from the barangays. This practice, however, “does not guarantee full prevention of the disease,” said the unit’s Melodina Babante. In fact, fogging “may even cause undesirable side effects to the respiratory system.” So, instead of fogging, she recommends Dabawenyos to clean their communities as this practice is “a more viable method of preventing an outbreak.” Dengue is caused by one of any of four related viruses: Den-

gue virus 1, 2, 3 and 4. These are spread to people through the bite of an infected mosquito, particularly Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. “Dengue is the world’s most important viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes,” declares Dr. Duane Gubler, health administrator of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Since there are four types, a person can be infected with a dengue virus as many as four times in his or her lifetime, according to the Geneva-based World Health Organization (WHO). Dengue causes a wide spectrum of disease. “This can range from subclinical disease (people may not know they are even infected) to severe flu-like symptoms in those infected,” the United Nations health agency explains. Although less common, some people develop severe dengue, which can be any number of complications associated with severe bleeding, organ impairment and/or plasma leakage. “Severe dengue has a higher risk of death when not managed appropriately,” the WHO warns. Also known as “breakbone” fever, dengue is the Swa-

hili term for “a sudden overtaking by a spirit.” Like death and taxes, dengue exempts no one: fat or thin, ugly or beautiful, rich or poor, educated and illiterate. Children, who are exposed in open areas while playing, are more prone although adults are not spared. I had a friend, a lawyer and a staff member of a former senator. He was based in Manila but at one time he went to Baguio, where he contracted dengue. A few days after being bitten by an infected mosquito, he suffered high fever, severe headache, and pain behind the eyes. There was also an outbreak of rashes in some parts of his body. From Baguio, he was brought to Manila. But it was already too late; he suffered hemorrhage in the liver and died three weeks after being confined in one of the well-known hospitals in Makati City. Even doctors die from severe dengue, too! There was a case of a lady physician whose daughter suffered from dengue. Unknowingly, a mosquito which bit her daughter had bitten the doctor. A few days after the daughter died, as a result of dengue, the doctor also showed manifestations of having den-

gue. She also died of the same disease. According to the WHO, dengue fever usually starts suddenly with a high fever, rash, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, and muscle and joint pain. Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite are common. A rash usually appears three to four days after the start of the fever. The illness can last up to 10 days, but complete recovery can take as long as a month. Most dengue infections result in relatively mild illness, but some can progress to severe dengue, which was first recognized in the 1950s during dengue epidemics in the Philippines and Thailand. With severe dengue, the warning signs are as follows: severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, rapid breathing, bleeding gums or nose, fatigue, restlessness, liver enlargement, and blood in vomit or stool. Without prompt treatment, the blood vessels can collapse, causing shock. Once this happens, it is just a matter of time that the person will succumb. Children are much more likely to get severe dengue than adults. “Dengue has no treatment but the disease can be managed early,” the Department of

Health states. For severe dengue, maintenance of the patient’s body fluid volume is critical, the WHO says. The best protection against dengue is not to be bitten by the mosquito carrying the virus. “The first step to prevent dengue is within our homes,” says Health Secretary Francisco T. Duque III. “It is important to remove any space or container that can hold unnecessary stagnant water which may become breeding sites of mosquitoes.” The health department urges everyone to implement the Enhanced 4-S. It stands for Search and destroy mosquito-breeding sites; secure Self-protection measures like wearing long pants and longsleeved shirts and daily use of mosquito repellent; Seek early consultation, and Support fogging/spraying only in hotspots areas where increase in cases is registered for two consecutive weeks to prevent an impending outbreak. “We are taking proactive actions in preventing outbreaks and raising awareness to curb the increase in the number of (dengue) cases,” says Dr. Maria Rosario Singh-Vergeire, health undersecretary and DOH official spokesperson.

GCash reminds users to stay vigilant vs online scams

GCash, the country’s no.1 mobile wallet app, reminded users to exercise more caution and vigilance as various online scams continue to proliferate. Customers must watch out for “Account Takeover” wherein log-in details are compromised due to phishing scams. Scammers often use fake social media accounts and pretend to be a GCash agent offering to solve their tick-

ets or concerns with their GCash wallets, but the ultimate goal is to steal money from the victims. Swindling is another modus which happens when a scammer tricks a user into buying a service or product and paying for it using GCash but will not deliver the item that has been paid for. Another frequent cause of unauthorized charges is when GCash users allow other peo-

ple, sometimes family members, access to their accounts. Oftentimes, a friend or family member would use their account to purchase or subscribe to a service without the owner’s knowledge. In light of these scams, GCash has several reminders to help ensure users can protect their accounts from fraudsters: • To avoid account takeovers, users should never give out any infor-

Peso weakens to P53:$1 on stock market decline

In a commentary, Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. chief economist Michael Ricafort said the peso’s weakness was due to the “decline in the local stock market.” The local stock barometer Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi) lost 228.85 points or 3.38%

to close at 6,539.04, its weakest since May 17, 2022 when it closed at 6,594.66. Ricafort said the peso’s plunge was due to the net foreign selling of $23.6 million in the local bourse “after the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) reduced its global economic growth estimates, a day after a similar move by the World Bank.” The OECD projects

This, as Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez and Israeli Minister of Economy and Industry Orna Barbivai, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) establishing the JEC last June 7. The Israeli envoy said the JEC will open up huge economic opportunities for the two countries in terms of trade and investments, he said “we are not tapping the potential”. Fluss said with the re-

opening of the Philippine economy since the onset of the pandemic, the JEC is very timely to advance the bilateral economic ties of the two nations, especially in areas of agriculture, technology, information communications technology, cybersecurity, and electronics, among others. Economic Attaché and Head of the Economic Mission in Manila Tomer Heyvi said two-way trade in goods between the Philippines and Israel in 2021 amounted to USD323 million, nearly reaching its

pre-pandemic level of less than USD400 million. However, trade with the Philippines is still behind compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. Israel has USD1-billion trade with Singapore, followed by Vietnam and Thailand. Heyvi added that through the JEC and other cooperation agreements signed between the two governments during the Philippine delegation visit to Israel this week, trade in goods and services would be growing faster in the coming years.

The local currency closed 5 centavos weaker than Thursday’s finish at P52.95:$1. Friday’s peso exchange rate closing to a US dollar is the weakest in three-and-a-half years when the local unit ended at P53.10:$1 on December 20, 2018.

NOW affiliates file graft charges vs NTC officials

ffiliates of NOW Telecom Company Inc. have filed graft complaints against several officials of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) before the Office of the Ombudsman for allegedly delaying the processing of the companies’ necessary permits and licenses to operate their businesses. NOW affiliates NOW Cable and News and Entertainment Network Corporation (Newsnet) filed separate cases against NTC officials for alleged violations of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act on June 9, 2022. This after the Ombudsman suspended Anti-Red Tape Authority director general Jeremiah Belgica, deputy director-general Eduardo Bringas, division chief Sheryl Pura-Sumagui, and directors Jedrek Ng and Melamy Salvadora-Asperin. In a press statement,

NOW Cable said it filed a criminal complaint against NTC incumbent Commissioner Gamaliel Cordoba, Deputy Commissioners Delilah Deles and Edgardo Cabarios, and Director of the Legal Branch Ella Blanca Lopez. NOW Cable alleged that the act of the NTC respondents of “intentionally delaying the processing of permits, licenses, and other authorizations of complainant NOW Cable and its affiliate corporations, with the end goal of disenfranchising Complainant of the same – and ultimately awarding it other favored telecommunications and media companies,” violate Section 3 (E) of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. NOW Cable also alleged that the respondents were responsible for blocking multi-billion private transactions of NOW Cable by unjustly and unfairly denying or delaying the assignment of frequencies.

he Board of Investments (BOI) reported the agency is already cleared from the Commission on Audit (COA) report that it has undistributed personal protective equipment (PPE) donated by China’s Panhua Group as of end2021. In a press conference on Friday, Trade Undersecretary and BOI Managing Head Ceferino Rodolfo shed light on a news report published June 7 that the “BOI failed to distribute donated PPEs”, using a 2021 COA report. Rodolfo said COA cleared the agency on the issue last March. This, as the donated PPE from China -- with the BOI as the recipient -- for health care workers are non-medical grade. “We are talking about products here that are meant to protect our health workers so when we received the packages,

as a protocol, the BOI had to do proper checking and evaluation of the protective health gear products including its location of origination as well as its quality,” Rodolfo said. He added that the agency has no intention to hold or stockpile the donations. The senior trade official said the PPE donations were distributed to the Philippine General Hospital. Since the donated PPE are non-medical grade, these were distributed to non-front line workers including security guards and administrative officers, among others. “We have to understand also that the BOI, with the intention of acting based on prudence and compliance with relevant laws, rules, and regulations, conducted due diligence first to ensure that everything is in order,” he said.

t least 1,100 jobs will be created in the Philippines as three Israeli companies have expressed their interest to expand their operations in the country. Economic Attaché and Head of the Economic Mission of the Israel Embassy Tomer Heyvi said Friday software development company Amdocs, agro-business firm LR Group, and information technology and business process outsourcing (ITBPO) company Maroonz Holdings are the companies that submitted their Letters of Intent (LOIs) to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). On Thursday, DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez told

reporters that “early harvest could be around USD150 million this year” from these companies. The Israeli Embassy in Manila said the expansion of Amdocs will create additional 1,000 jobs, while investments from Maroonz will generate 100 jobs. Heyvi said, aside from increasing merchandise trade, Israel also wants to grow trade in services with the Philippines. “Leading tech companies

in Israel today use the BPO services,” Heyvi said in an interview. He added that the headcount of these Israeli BPO firms here is “a growing figure”. Aside from the IT-BPO industry, Israel aims to maximize the potential in other services such as electronics manufacturing services (EMS), software development, cybersecurity, and fintech. Meanwhile, with the growing number of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Israel, Heyvi said a Philippine bank will be putting up its branch in Israel to help with the remittances between the

Philippines and Israel. Israel Ambassador to the Philippines Ilan Fluss said there are nearly 30,000 OFWs, mostly caregivers, in Israel. Recently, the Philippines and Israel sent the first batch of hotel workers to the Holy Land under a government-to-government set-up, as Israel opened its hotel sector to Filipino workers. “It is important to know that this sector was closed for foreign laborers, and just opened up just two weeks ago only for the Philippines,” Fluss said. “We also have Jordan, but Jordan is only working in the southern part of Israel.” (PNA)

by the additional tools employed by the Group coupled with expanded detection efforts in identifying mobile numbers being used in the fraudulent activity. PLDT and Smart also coordinate with SMS aggregators when suspicious messages are traced on their network,” it said. Smishing attacks, com-

monly in the form of job offers, also occur online and contain links to websites that lure individuals into giving up personal data. These data are used by cyber criminals to access a person’s bank accounts or digital wallets and their social networks to look for other potential victims.

Telco blocks more than 77K SIM cards this year in anti-smishing crackdown

ocal mobile service provider Smart Communications Inc. (Smart) has so far blocked over 77,000 SIM cards this year as part of its crackdown on “smishing” or cybersecurity attacks via text messages that aim to steal personal data. In a statement on Friday, Smart said these SIM cards

Meanwhile, the 17-story Damosa Diamond Tower was completed in July last year with 40 percent of the building already committed: one tenant that will be occupying one whole floor is targeting to start by end of July this year, and another tenant is thinking of occupying two floors and is currently doing construction and is targeting to start by end of September this year. Lagdameo said one of these tenants is a financial services company and the other is a BPO firm. “We are the first tenant that actually will be moving in,” he added. He also said other companies are expected to locate at the tower. “The pipeline is so long and it’s just a matter of negotiation, hopefully, we will get a positive

response in the coming weeks,” he said. Lagdameo shared that the number of inquiries that they got since January this year was a huge jump compared to pre-pandemic. “When you look at the key cities across the country for BPOs especially when you look outside of Metro Manila, Davao City is either one or two on their radar. The BPO industry here has been very robust here,” he said. Damosa Diamond Tower became the first EDGE-certified office building in Mindanao representing the achievements of on energy savings, water savings, and less embodied energy in materials and among its features are the building’s facade echoes the wavy lines of banana fibers, LED lighting, solar panels, eco-friendly insulation, and a green roof deck.

Sanman Boxing launches amateur boxing competition

anman Promotions has taken its scouting efforts to the grassroots level in pursuit of potential world class Filipino boxers. As a concrete step in achieving this goal, it will be launching “The Next Contender”, a bi-monthly amateur boxing event aimed at discovering the next Filipino world boxing champion. Each season will be culminated by a three-day boxing tournament wherein champions will be awarded.

According to Sanman CEO Jim Claude Manangquil, the program will focus on finding raw local boxing talents and future world champions. “This project will bring out the crème of the crop from the local boxing talents and will help kids focus on sports rather than vices like drugs and alcohol. We hope this effort will merit support from good sponsors and from the government. Everyone

is excited for this to start,” Manangquil stated. Meantime, after scoring a decisive second-round stoppage of the great Nonito Donaire on Tuesday in Saitama, Japan, Naoya “The Monster” Inoue became the new pound for pound no. 1 boxer.

cruiserweight champion and his skillset is beyond reproach. The sophisticated Ukrainian lefty won an assortment of 200-pound titles on the road before scoring a historic points win over Anthony Joshua to put the glamor division on notice. The unbeaten Inoue (23-
