With students returning to school after a week-long break, Rodrigo “Rigo” Duterte II called on parents to ensure they always monitor the health of their children amid the Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) in the Davao Region.
He said as parents, it is important to ensure that their children are healthy and away from illnesses.
“Para nako nga usa ka amahan importante nga himsog ug layo sa sakit ang
mga bata hilabi na karon nga naay mga kaso sa Hand Foot and Mouth Disease. Maka-apekto kini sa pag-eskwela sa atong mga anak,” Rigo said.
He also encouraged
parents to heed the call of the Department of Education 11 (DepEd 11) to coordinate with the school specially if there children are manifesting symptoms of HFMD.
HFMD is a common infectious disease of children.
It is characterized by fever, painful sores in the mouth, and a blister-like rash on the hands, feet, and buttocks.
DepEd 11 has earlier called on parents to coordinate with the school for

Asoldier opened fire at his companions who were sleeping inside one of the barracks in the Philippine Army’s 4th Infantry Division in Barangay Patag early Saturday morning, killing four.
Army spokesperson
Maj. Francisco Garillo Jr. said Private Johmar Villabito killed four soldiers and injured one be-
fore he was overpowered and killed by soldiers who were awakened by the gunshots.
Major Gen. Wilbur Mamawag, commander of the 4th Infantry Division, immediately set up a probe team to investigate what led Villabito to shoot his colleagues in the barracks of the division’s service battalion in Camp Evangelista, Cagay-
an de Oro.
Garillo narrated that at around 1:10 am, Villabito allegedly entered the barracks and shot at his companions using his government-issued M16 rifle, killing Sgt. Rogelio Rojo; Cpl. Bernard Rodrigo; Pfc. Prince Kevin Balaba; and Private Joseph Tamayo.
A fifth soldier, SSgt. Braulio Macalos, was
wounded but has been declared out of danger and is recuperating at the Camp Evangelista Station Hospital at the 4th Infantry Division Headquarters. Garillo said the suspect then tried to look for other soldiers sleeping in the other rooms in the barracks.
“The soldiers were already awakened by the
gunshots and were ready for Villabito to enter,” Garillo said.
Garillo said Pvt Mark Anthony Aguinid and Pfc Joseph Estrada reportedly tackled Villabito and in the ensuing scuffle shot and killed the suspect.
In his visit to Camp Evangelista early this month, Army Chief Lt. General Romeo Brawn-
er Jr., expressed concern over the rising cases of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among soldiers.
Brawner said they are setting up an army unit of psychologists to help soldiers who are suffering from anxiety disorder caused by stressful, frightening and distressing events. (Froilan Gallardo / MindaNews)

According to the French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre, the desire to love and be loved in return is an illusion. It appears that we only love because we also want to be loved. This is not supposed to be the case, Sartre thinks. You cannot love a person because you desire to be happy. Rather, it is enough to say that to love is to make the other free.
The desire to be with the other eventually is nothing more than a facade because what a person really wants is to be free. There is no assurance of happiness when you are in love because both of you will desire your endless freedom. For Sartre, you are what the other person sees in you. This alienates you from your true self.
So, what happens is that you must give up your own
freedom for the sake of the other’s happiness. Love, hence, is nothing but a paradox. However, this can be a form of self-deception. You are only hurting yourself the more you believe that you are loved by that person who actually cannot love you in return. For Sartre, you cannot love unless you deny yourself your own freedom and the other of hers, which makes that love almost impossible.
The only escape route, Sartre writes, is to be your authentic self. You must give up all that illusion in order to accept what love truly is. When you are no longer under that spell, then you can begin to act in good faith. In this way, you can be that authentic human being for someone and not just pretend to be somebody who
only wants to be happy.
The existentialist philosopher Albert Camus writes that there is only one true duty and that is to love. Two people often find that mending a broken relationship is not worth all the time and effort, but it is the beauty of love to refuse to give in to a world that is never short of suffering. A man can choose to throw himself into the ocean, but he would not do so knowing that it would hurt the woman he loves. You cannot simply resign to a world that demands the repetition of your pain.
Camus tells us that the world is absurd. The world has no meaning without man, but to easily surrender is not what real courage is. Sisyphus will find no comfort in taking a day’s rest for to live is to embrace the re-
NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental (MindaNews / 10 February) – Through the years our farmers have suffered ironically from the abundance of their harvest.
Worst hit by this cruel phenomenon are farmers who produce highly perishable crops, like onions and tomatoes. A very good harvest means a very low farm gate price for their products, an amount that is far below the cost of production.
ality of a terrifying world. If you love a woman, you must say to yourself that you are willing to go through wars a million times. Your task is not to escape your present but to define it. This is what living and loving is all about.
In fact, true love cannot be rooted in consistency. To be consistent is to project an image of oneself. That image is not the real you but the ideal of who you want to be. But man cannot be reduced into a mere file card, which is nothing but a collection of your good qualities. In loving a man or woman, however, we all know that one must love both the good and the bad.
Must people, then, resort to a compromise? What if two characters are irreconcilable? The basic point is that love cannot be reduced
into contractual obligations. If you set a condition, then you are not in love. You simply want a sense of security out of that relationship. In truth, real love is a commitment, which means that it is rooted in a sacred covenant. Finally, the French thinker Gabriel Marcel thinks of love as a living, eternal bond. It is an invitation, the appeal to the other – “Be with me.” Love, ergo, is that undying presence. Thus, Gabriel Garcia Marquez is right in saying that “there is no greater glory than dying for the woman you love” because that is the ultimate sacrifice. Love is endless. By this, Marcel meant that when two people are in love, only the physical body perishes, but their love for each other defies time and everything.
On many occasions, onion farmers would rather burn their rotting onions rather than sell them to opportunist traders. Onions can really make you cry.
Dumbfounding is the sight of farmers dumping cart loads of red and green tomatoes, which raced down the sloping road of Claveria, Misamis Oriental in angry protest against lecherous traders and over the inaction of government authorities. They
would rather waste their produce than let soulless, voracious traders or anyone else benefit from it. There is clearly a way out of this tragedy. Storage facilities for onions may be established in strategic locations by the government to be run by farmer cooperatives. This will avoid the deterioration of the crop that cannot be absorbed by the market because of the surplus of supply during the peak harvest season.
The storage facilities may be able to stabilize the market prices of the product during the lean period. This empowers the farmers in giving them some amount of control of the destiny of their output. Importation then could be avoided and resorted to only by extreme necessity.
On the other hand, tomato farmers may be taught to process surplus into value-added products, such as paste, sauce
and juice, among others. Cooperatives may also be formed to run mini storage facilities and in the marketing of their products.
The sad, repetitious plight of farmers ought to stop. Authorities need to think outside the box.
For the government to focus only in granting ayuda or financial assistance to farmers along production is a nauseating failure in imagination. It sorely misses the boat.
Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has witnessed the signing of memorandum of understanding (MOU) on clean technology between Aboitiz Power Corp. and Japan’s largest power generation firm, JERA Co., Inc., during his official visit in Japan.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, AboitizPower said its chairperson Sabin Aboitiz and JERA president Satoshi Onoda signed an MOU to explore ‘greener fuel’, which involves the use of ammonia and hydrogen in power generation.
Through the MOU, AboitizPower and JERA will undertake feasibility assessment on ammonia co-fired power generation and the development of the ammonia and hydrogen
value chains in the country.
The use of alternative fuels supports the government’s initiatives toward reducing carbon footprint to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
“By joining forces in the pursuit of greener fuels, our two companies are not only advancing the cause of sustainability, but also paving the way for a cleaner and more vibrant future.
Ammonia offers a compelling solution for decarbonizing the power sector and
by looking into it, we are taking a step towards developing the infrastructure needed to support the ammonia and hydrogen value chains,” Aboitiz said.
AboitizPower said applying the greener fuel technology to the existing coal-fired power plants will result in a reduction of carbon dioxide emission by up to 50 percent.
“Through this collaboration, we will support Aboitiz’s power decarbonization efforts while also considering additional opportunities for advancing technology development in the Philippines. This MOU allows JERA to leverage its experience and capabilities to support both AboitizPower and the Philippines
to reach their emissions targets,” Onoda said.
In 2021, JERA bought 25.01 percent in AboitizPower from Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc. at USD1.463 billion, and another 1.99 percent from Aboitiz family’s privately held firm Aboitiz & Company.
During his meeting with Japanese firms Thursday, Marcos underscored the importance of AboitizPower-JERA partnership in the development of the country’s power sector.
“Of course, the investment is important, but the transfer of technology is also extremely important and that will give the Philippines a self-sufficiency, which we have been missing,” he said. (PNA)
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) on Friday vowed to boost its campaign against the sale of vape and e-cigarette products that are in violation of Republic Act (RA) 11900 or known as the Vape Law.
DTI Assistant Secretary Ann Claire Cabochan made the assurance during a public hearing conducted by the Senate Committee on Sustainable Development Goals, Innovation and Futures Thinking chaired by Senator Pia Cayetano.
During the hearing,
Cabochan said they have found some sellers, particularly in the National Capital Region, who continue to sell vape products in facilities within the 100-meter radius frequented by youths; with designs and flavor descriptors attractive to youths; and without the required textual warning signs.
“I think there have been 23 firms. So, a total of 16 show cause orders were already issued by the Fair Trade Enforcement Bureau,” Cabochan said answering the query of
Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva.
She added that the DTI had already sent official notices to regional and provincial offices of online selling platforms urging them to comply with RA 11900.
The DTI official also assured that within the first semester of the year, the agency will issue the Philippine National Standard on Novel Tobacco Products.
Villanueva had earlier expressed disappointment over the rampant selling of vape flavors with descrip-
Net foreign direct investments (FDIs) in November 2022 stood at USD793 million, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reported Friday.
The central bank said net FDI inflows last November declined by 43.6 percent from USD1.4 billion net inflows in the same month in 2021.
“This resulted from the drop in non-residents’ net investments in debt instruments and reinvestment of earnings. Meanwhile, net placements of equity capital rose year-on-year for the third consecutive month,” the BSP said in a statement.
Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. (RCBC) economist Michael Ricafort said the drop in net inflows may be attributed to higher base effects in November 2021, when appetite for investments went back after the onset of the pandemic in 2020.
Singapore and the US. Top sectors with equity capital placements for the month include manufacturing, information and communication, and real estate industries.
“The year-to-date FDI net inflows likewise declined by 13.4 percent to USD8.4 billion from the USD9.7 billion recorded in the first eleven months of 2021. By component, non-residents’ net investments in debt instrument and reinvestment of earnings declined while their net placements of equity capital increased during the period,” the central bank said.
Meanwhile, RCBC’s Ricafort said the recent foreign trips of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., including his five-day official working visit to Japan this week, posed positive prospects for the country’s FDI inflows in the future.
tors that are appealing to minors which is a clear violation of RA 11900.
“We reiterate our call, madam chair, on the concerned government agencies, especially the DTI, to give us a clear and definitive answer in these proceedings as to why the proliferation of these prohibited products was allowed. We also like an immediate resolution of this issue pursuant to the provisions of the law, even as we await the recommendations of the committee,” Villanueva said.
“The slowdown in the net FDI data may also have to do with higher short-term interest rates and the peak in long-term interest rates in the United States/globally/ locally around October-November 2022,” Ricafort said, adding these developments increased borrowing costs.
He added the possible recession in the US also dragged the investment activities at the latter part of 2022.
Further, the BSP reported that top sources of equity capital placements in November 2022 include Japan,
“Investment commitments, especially if realized/ monetized, from the various foreign trips by the new administration could also help generate more investments (FDIs), jobs/employment, infrastructure spending/projects, trade (exports and imports), foreign tourism, and business/economic opportunities that add to the overall economic/GDP growth and development, as well as support higher investment valuations, thereby also supporting sentiment on the local financial markets,” Ricafort added.

The government must strengthen the agriculture sector by implementing policies and solutions to boost productivity and dampen inflation, an economist said on Friday.
Inflation in January quickened to 8.7 percent driven by rising costs in housing, power and water, and the continued increases in some basic food items.
The month’s total is a fresh 14-year high and way beyond the government target of 2 to 4 percent.
Economist Jan Carlo Punongbayan said importation is just a temporary measure.
Enforcing existing policies and modernizing the agri sector such as the rollout of more storage solutions could boost production, he said.
“Yung importasyon ay solusyon yan sa short run para hindi masyadong tumaas ang presto ng mga bilihin pero dapat hindi siya excuse para pabayaan yung agriculture at policy na pwedeng magpalago sa agriculture,” Punongbayan
“Hindi na bago ang solutions kelangan lang ng political will at kailangan lang ipatupad ng maigi ng gobyerno,” he added.

the costs of onions surged to as much as P700 per kilo.
Former National Economic and Development Authority Secretary Ernesto Pernia earlier said President Ferdinand Marcos Jr should consider cutting back on foreign trips and focus more on solving the country’s problems, especially in agriculture.
“There are just too many problems that need to be attended to. Maybe a couple of trips are fine, three trips at the most in his first semester of being President. Then show as an exemplar, attending to agriculture, which he deliberately decided to head himself, because it is a very critical department and food is really the, one of the problems we are facing now,” Pernia said during a forum of economists.
For his part, International Investment Banker Stephen Cuunjieng said the government has many options to boost productivity and ensure food security in the country.
In Japan there are subsidies for farmers, while in Thailand and Vietnam the cooperative system drives small farmers to increase productivity, he said, adding that these could be done in the Philippines.
“As we go along our development journey, I invite all of you to continue and enhance that partnership. When you ‘think growth, think Philippines’ so that together, we will reap the benefits of robust, sustainable, and inclusive growth for our businesses and for our peoples,” Marcos said in his speech during the Philippine Business Opportunities Forum here.
“Let’s make it happen in the Philippines!” he added.
Marcos said the Philippines has seen a “remarkable” recovery from the economic slump brought by the COVID-19 pandem-
ic as the economy, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), grew 7.6% in 2022 from 5.7% in 2021.
“This growth — which exceeded expectations and our targets — was broadbased, reflecting high government spending and robust domestic demand driven by household consumption and private investments,” he said.
Despite the elevated inflation seen last year at 5.8%, surpassing the government’s estimate of 2-4%, the President said that inflation remained “manageable” as the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
projects inflation to settle at 4.5% this year and go down further to 2.8% next year.
“Aided by industrialization and job-creation strategy, we expect the Philippine economy to graduate from lower middle-income to upper middle-income status by 2024, if not sooner. This will keep us on track in achieving high-income status by 2040,” Marcos said.
“Against this backdrop, we envision poverty incidence in the Philippines to be slashed by half or from 18.1% in 2021 to 9% by 2028,” he added.
The chief executive also mentioned the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023-2028 —the country’s medium-term development plan—crafted in line with his administration’s eight-point socioeconomic
agenda on investment promotion; infrastructure development; energy efficiency; increased employability of the workforce; expansion of digital infrastructure; innovation, research, and development; pursuit of a green and blue economy; and establishment of livable and sustainable communities.
“Our demographic advantage —particularly our young, educated, hardworking, English-speaking workforce [that] is among the best in the world—puts us in a strong position on the global stage,” Marcos said.
“This complements Japan’s development strategy, given its older demographic, of tapping human resources from outside its borders to meet the labor requirements of its enterprises,” the President added.
Aclass action lawsuit has been filed against businessman and former PLDT president Manuel Pangilinan and other PLDT executives with a United States Court over an alleged violation of federal securities laws.
The 45-page complaint was filed by Sophia Olsson on behalf of “others similarly situated” with the United States District Court, Central District of California, on Feb-
ruary 6.
Aside from Pangilinan, other defendants named in the lawsuit were Alfredo Panlilio, Anabelle Chua, Marilyn Victorio-Aquino, Abner Tito Alberto, Gil Samson Garcia, Ma. Lourdes Rausa-Chan, Florentino Mabasa Jr., and Cheryl Cabal-Revilla.
“Wherefore, plaintiff… prays for… awarding damages in favor of plaintiff and the other class members against all defendants, jointly and
severally, together with interest thereon,” the complaint read.
It also urged the court to award the plaintiffs reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the legal action, including counsel fees and expert fees.
According to the complaint, Olsson had purchased PLDT securities between January 1, 2019 and December 19, 2022 and was “economically damaged thereby.”
It also said that the defendants issued “materially false and misleading statements” regarding the company’s business, operation, and prospects from the set period.
The complaint likewise stated that the defendants failed to disclose that there were capital spending budget overruns and failed to address weaknesses that allowed the budget overruns.

NEWORLEANS — Donovan Mitchell scored 30 points and Cleveland maintained a double-digit lead most of the way for a 118-107 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night (Saturday, Manila time) that extended the Cavaliers’ winning streak to five games.
Evan Mobley had 28 points and 13 rebounds, while Jarrett Allen added 20 points and 11 rebounds for Cleveland,
which snapped New Orleans’ three-game winning streak.
See Kyrie sustains fine play as Mavs score wire-
to-wire win over Kings Cleveland shot 56.5 percent (48 of 85), outscored New Orleans 7058 in the paint and outrebounded the Pelicans 41-34.
The Pelicans’ Brandon Ingram scored 25 points, his fourth straight game with at least that many. Trey Murphy added 17 points and CJ McCollum 12 for New Orleans.
The Cavs were one of just three teams that did not make a trade before Thursday afternoon’s NBA deadline — a decision that only looked wiser when Cleveland opened up a 22-point, first-half lead. The Cavs led by as many as 25 in the second half and the lead hovered around 20 until the latter stages of the fourth quarter, when most of the starters had gone to the bench for good.
“We said beforehand that we are not desperate to do anything. We
love the group that we have,” Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said prior to tipoff. “We are confident in giving it time and letting guys grow together. We are not in a rush. We have guys that are developing, learning how to win and learning how to play together. There is no reason to skip steps and do something desperate when we are not.”
Mitchell had 21 of his points in the first half, highlighted by an off-balance scoop off the glass while being fouled from behind by McCollum.
Mitchell’s driving floater gave Cleveland a 73-55 lead late in the second quarter before Ingram’s free throw made it 73-56 at halftime.

Filipino pole vaulter EJ Obiena continues his strong indoor season with a second-place finish in the ISTAF Indoor meet at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany. The 27-year-old Obiena cleared 5.82 meters to take silver behind Sweden’s Mondo Du-
plantis.
Duplantis set a new meet record of 6.06-m, after clearing 5.60-m, 5.82-m, and 5.91-m on his first attempts.
Australia’s Kurtis Marschall placed third behind Obiena on countback with a 5.82-m mark as well.
Duplantis, 23, at-
tempted to re-set his own world record with a height of 6.22-m but was unsuccessful.
Obiena has made the podium of every competition that he has joined in 2023. Before the ISTAF Indoor in Berlin, he placed first in Poland’s Copernicus Cup where he cleared 5.87-m.
“We said beforehand that we are not desperate to do anything. We love the group that we have,” Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said.
There was no such thins as homecourt advantage.
The Davao Occidental Tigers just realized playing on your homecourt can be a disadvantage pressure-wise. With the Tigers expected to pull off a sweep at home, Pampanga Lanterns and the San Juan Knights have plans of their own to spoil the party.
Pampanga G Lanterns pulled off a 87-84 squeaker on Saturday against the Davao Occidental Tigers - Cocolife on the second day of the Manila Bankers Life-Pilipinas Super League Pro Division Second Conference Dumper Cup on tour at RMC Gymnasium in Davao City.
Kurt Reyson led Pampanga with 24 points on top of 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals.
Earlier, the San Juan Knights delivered a 76-71 mastery of the defending champion Tigers to go perfect 10-0 in their first 10 outings.
Rence Nocum and prized forward Michael Calisaan showed the way as the Kings frustrated the home team on Thursday night.
Nocum finished with 20 points and eight rebounds for San Juan, while Calisaan flirted with a double-double of 18 points and nine rebounds.
The win allowed the charges of coach Randy Alcantara to remain unbeaten after a 93-89 triumph over Manila last week.
The Tigers, coming off an 8766 dumping of 1Munti last February 1, fell to 9-2.
In the other game, Koponang Lakan ng Bulacan clobbered the Pampanga G Lanterns 85-68 for its fifth straight win.
Former PBA player Leo Najorda shone anew for Bulacan with 21 points, five boards, and four assists, while Mark Pangilinan chipped in 20 markers and two rebounds.
Exequil Biteng also had 12 and five for Bulacan, which scored a fitting follow up to a 72-61 victory over Batang Kankaloo-Caloocan last Feb. 2 and rose to 8-3.
The G Lanterns failed to do an encore to an 87-76 trouncing of Cagayan De Oro-PSP last Monday and dropped to 6-4.
Keith Agovida and MicoleSorela scored 11 points each for Davao Occidental.
Archie Concepcion paced Pampanga with 20 points and four caroms, while Louie Sangalang and Michael Garcia got 11 and 10, respectively.
