PDP-Laban’s alliance with Lakas-CMD looms

EYTE Rep. Martin Romualdez on Wednesday expressed gratitude to the openness of presidential aspirant and Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte to the possible alliance of Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) and Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD) in next year’s presidential elections. “This is a welcome development and we are thankful to Mayor Duterte for his openness to seal an alliance with us,” said Romualdez, president of the Lakas-CMD. Romualdez said the looming alliance between his party and PDP-Laban will be for the betterment of the people aimed at espousing compassion to them. “The looming alliance will be anchored on principles and platforms to further promote malasakit (compassion) and champion people’s interest. We are not after political convenience,” Romualdez said. On Tuesday, Duterte, who is the standard bearer of PDP-Laban, said they are just awaiting for Lakas-CMD or the party of former President-turned Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to formalize its intention for the partnership in the May 2016 polls. PDP-Laban President and Sen. Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III said he is open to the arrangement with the party of Arroyo.

“That is a welcome development. But I think they will stay with Lakas as their party. So it is just like forming an alliance for this particular (2016) election,” Pimentel said. Lakas-CMD Deputy Secretary General Raul Lambino said majority of the party’s members have expressed their intention to support Duterte’s presidential bid. Earlier, Duterte endorsed the senatorial bid of Romualdez, citing the latter’s “malasakit” (compassion) to public service especially in his efforts to help Yolanda survivors recover from the tragedy, including those from the hardest-hit Tacloban City, should be a major factor for the people to elect him to the Senate. “Martin is my candidate to the Senate,” Duterte responded to a query of Manila-based journalist, referring to Romualdez, who is also a guest candidate of presidential aspirant and Vice President Jejomar “Jojo” Binay of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA), as one of the most qualified senatorial candidates. In response, Romualdez assured Duterte of his commitment to champion good governance, fight against criminality, and graft and corruption as compassion to Filipinos who are frustrated of seeking genuine reforms. “I am one with Mayor Duterte in pushing transparency and accountability in

2 airport busts net P6M worth of shabu By ARMANDO B. FENEQUITO JR.

abf@edgedavao.net

HE interdiction team headed by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) 11 intercepted about 700 grams of shabu with an estimated total of P6 million in two incidents at the Francisco International Airport last October and November this year. In yesterday’s AFP-PNP Press Corps forum at the Davao City Police Office conference room, PDEA 11 regional director Adzhar Albani said the drugs were intercepted through intelligence monitoring from the PDEA central office. “We are alarmed because there are previous reports that

there are drugs passing by the airport,” he said. Albani said the first incident happened in the third week of October. A package with 500 grams of shabu came from Parañaque and was addressed to an area in Davao Oriental. The consignee was arrested after the team inspected the package, he added. Albani said the second incident happened on the first week of November when the team intercepted another 200 grams of shabu from Iloilo City. It was addressed to a person in Matina, Davao City. Albani said while the name of the consignee in Matina was fake, the team still managed to

arrest the suspect. He did not divulge the suspect’s identity since it is “confidential.” Albani said he could not divulge the freight company used by the drug smugglers to avoid any negative impact to their business. “The cases now are already being filed in courts. We charged the consignees,” he said. Albani said using courier services is the new “style” in delivering illegal drugs because some airports in the country cannot detect illegal drugs. Albani said in Mindanao, only the airports in Davao City and Zamboanga City have in-

teragency task groups formed to interdict drug smugglers. “These airports were the first to have the team because of the international flights,” he said. Albani said the interdiction teams have equipment such as scanners and sniffing dogs to detect illegal drugs. He said the team is composed of PDEA, National Bureau of Investigation, Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, and Aviation Security Group. “This mechanism is one of the measures to prevent the spread of drugs to the municipalities and provinces,” he said.

Driz said the police are now strengthening the monitoring in the barangays so that no one will get an opportunity to sneak in firecrackers.

She said the city police will not hesitate to arrest all violators of the ordinance since it has already been existing since 2001. “We encourage the public not to sell, not to manufacture, and not to use firecrackers,” she said. She said last year’s record shows the DCPO arrested 32 violators, 13 of them minors and 19 adults. One of the violators

arrested on New Year’s Day was Eduardo Santander, who is a barangay kagawad in Mintal Proper. Santander was caught by operatives of Tugbok Police Station about to fire a “Judas belt” inside his compound in Mintal.

Siargao security tightened amid kidnapping jitters

ECURITY in Siargao Island has been tightened amid rumors the Abu Sayyaf was planning to abduct tourists in this popular travel destination. General Luna Mayor Jaime P. Rusillon said Monday the rumors have made the owners of some cozy resorts and tourists leave the island. Rusillon said the 30th Infantry Battalion has deployed some troops in the town to secure guests and owners of the high-end resorts. He said they were not taking chances because the rumors “might be possibly true”. It was also learned that all police units in Siargao’s nine towns were placed on red alert. PO3 Vic Concon, intelligence officer of General Luna Police Office told MindaNews on Monday that they remained on red alert status. But Rusillon pointed out the town has remained peaceful as ever. “There is no reason tourists should hesitate to come in here. The fact that we are ready for the bad guys just in case…and we are tightening

our security to make sure every tourist is safe,” he said. The mayor said the Abu Sayaff would have a hard time carrying out abductions in the island. “How could they get out of the island? The fact that their hotbed is very far from Siargao.” Several resort owners said the rumors about the Abu Sayyaf frightened them. Sandy Epituh, a resort owner in General Luna called on government to secure all tourist areas in the country. “Not just Siargao but all tourist areas in the country.” Rusillon said he received a call about the rumors from Surigao del Norte Governor Sol F. Matugas, who got the information from Leticia Tan, regional tourism director. He admitted that security in town was lax since it has never experienced any kidnapping incident. Last November 17, the provincial government held a stakeholders meeting on security planning at Kapitolyo Nan Siargao, an extension provincial office in Siargao located in Dapa town.

The BSP said the old banknote series will still be allowed to be used for daily transactions until December 31 this year. Starting January 1, 2016, the old banknote series can no longer be used in daily transactions and can be only exchanged in authorized agent banks and BSP cash department or any regional offices

or BSP branches. This is part of the demonetization program of the Philippines’ central bank. Demonetization refers to the process of the process of removing the monetary value of a legal tender currency by BSP. The BSP will be demonetizing old banknote series which was launched in 1985. It is consist of eight denominations, namely P5, P10, P50, P200, P500 and the P1000 piso, The old banknote series can be exchanged with new series in all universal banks, commercial banks, thrift banks including saving banks

and private development banks and rural banks supervised by the central bank. The old bills will be replaced with the new generated currencies (NGCs) ehich features the new BSP logo, and available in six denominations, including 20-, 50-, 100-, 200-, 500-, and 1000- piso. The central bank earlier announce that the complete facing out of old bank notes and will start circulating the new design series in the economy by 2017. “The start of the demonetization is on January1, 2017.

Congress to help in info drive on demonetization

HE House of Representatives is tapping the various district officers of lawmakers to help in the information dissemination campaign of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on the demonetization schedule for old banknotes, which are being replaced by the New Generation Currency (NGC). House Deputy Secretary-General Atty. Grace N. Andres said the district officers of House members can greatly help in the information dissemination campaign because they have access even to constituents of lawmakers living in far-flung areas. “The district officers of House members are the best persons to tap on this worthy endeavor since many constituents of lawmakers reside in far-flung areas and have no easy access to banks which are usually located in town or city proper,” said Andres. Andres expressed hope that the various district offices of House members will be reaching all the areas of the country with the information dissemination campaign. “We

hope to do our best to help disseminate this information to our constituents,” said Andres. She said many of these constituents in remote areas have kept their personal savings at home since they have no access to banks. “Kawawa naman po sila, kung sila ay nag-ipon at mababale-wala lang ang inipon nila,” said Andres. Andres said the Office of Speaker Feliciano Belmonte, Jr. urgently organized the briefing after Jay Amatong of the BSP Public Relations Office sought the help of the House of Representatives to help in the BSP information dissemination campaign for the scheduled demonetization of old banknotes. “Considering that time is of the essence, and we believe that our district offices have an important role to play, we immediately setup the BSP briefing,” said Andres. BSP Deputy Director for Currency Issue and Integrity Office Maja Gratia Malic said that from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2015, the old banknote series

value. Only the new banknote series will remain as legal tender in the country,” BSP deputy governor for monetary stability sector Diwa C. Guinigundo said in a briefing at the BSP-Davao in May. Of the 2.8 billion pieces of combined old and new series circulating in the Philippine economy, only 540 to 560 million pieces of old series of banknotes are left and up for demonetization. “We’re expecting that all old series of banknote will be retired before the end of 2016,” Guinigundo said. “Among the reasons we demonetized the old

banknotes is because this is one way of safeguarding the integrity of the currency to protect it against counterfeiters,” he added. The BSP official further said that there is a need to replace the old bills with new designed banknotes because the new one are printed with significant events years after the launching of old bills in 1935. “Our new generated currencies (NGC) are printed not just with faces of past presidents but also with faces we consider our heroes. It is also printed with iconic natural wonders that are mostly recognized by United Nations Ed-

ucational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and species that can be only found here like tarsier and the Philippine Eagle,” Guinigundo said. Guinigundo said the security thread is wider compared to the old banknote series “The serial number is still composed of one of two prefix letters and six to seven digits which are increasing in size,” he said. Meanwhile, he assured that even with the demonetization of old series, there are enough pieces of new banknotes circulating in the economy.

Legarda says bicam approves proposed‘16 national budget S

ENATOR Loren Legarda announced that the bicameral conference committee approved today the proposed P3.002 trillion national budget for 2016 following the consolidation of the respective versions of the Senate and House of Representatives. The bicam report will be presented by Legarda, Chair of the Senate Committee on Finance, and Rep. Isidro Ungab, Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, to their respective chambers during the Session today for ratification before the same is submitted to President Benigno Aquino III for his signature. “We are confident that the President will be able to sign the proposed 2016 national budget into law before Christmas. In a way, this is our gift to the people as we have introduced allocations and provisions that will benefit those who most need government support,” said Legarda.

Among the highlights of the budget is the strong support for quality education with the increased allocation for the Department of Education (DepEd) to support the implementation of the K-12 program, particularly for the construction of classrooms and hiring of additional teachers. Total budget of Deped is Php411.905 Billion. All state universities and colleges (SUCs) also received additional funding for the “TulongDunong” program, academic buildings, provision of equipment and other needed facilities. Total budget of SUCs is Php47 Billion. For the first time, the national budget includes funding for the payment of the total administrative disability (TAD) pension for surviving spouses of deceased World War II veterans and partial payment for TAD pension for living postwar veterans who are at least 80 years of age as of 2016.

Meanwhile, under the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) budget, apart from the National Greening Program, Congress is funding, for the first time, capacity building programs for the implementation of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, a long-time unfunded law. Also included in the DENR budget is funding for the National Coral Restoration Program. Legarda said she introduced said funding because, as a maritime nation with 240 million hectares of marine area, the protection of marine ecosystems, primarily through massive coral restoration, should be a priority of government. The bicam also approved general and special provisions introduced by Legarda in the 2016 national budget that would ensure the integration of disaster and climate resilience, environmental and heritage

conservation, and sustainability in the programs of various government agencies. Critical public infrastructure must be designed and built to be resilient to strong earthquakes, typhoons, flood and other extreme weather events. In retrofitting bridges and other public infrastructure, the government shall give priority to areas considered to be highly vulnerable to seismic activity. Special provisions under the budgets for the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) state that the two agencies must ensure that evacuation centers are built on safe sites and designed to withstand wind speed of three hundred (300) kilometers per hour and moderate seismic activity of at least 8.0 magnitude on the Richter scale; utilize natural ventila-

‘Pablo’survivors get new homes, projects

HREE years to the day later, it is no longer stories of misery and hopelessness but a celebration of bountiful blessings and new beginnings for ‘Pablo’ survivors in Taragona, Davao Oriental. On December 4, or three years past Tropical Storm Pablo (Bopha) hit the province, the municipality of Tarragona received massive aid from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). Under the Modified Shelter Assistance Program (MSAP) of DSWD in partnership with the Provincial Local Government, 304 families in Cabagayan, Jovellar, Maganda and Tubaon received permanent homes as an early Christmas gift. These houses are part of the total 867 shelter units to be completed by the first quarter of 2016, said Director Priscilla N. Razon of DSWD. “We really came here to see your smiles as you finally receive your housing units. These houses are typhoon-resilient and we hope that you can finally enjoy the celebration of Christmas and New Year with your families,” Director Razon heartily conveyed to recipients in Sitio Madian, Barangay Tubaon during the turnover. Other assistance inaugurated in Tarragona under DSWD Kalahi-CIDSS (Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan -Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services) include a 260-meter road concreting in Barangay Jovellar amounting to P 1,137,152.00, drainage canal in Barangay Central worth P 1,249,290.00

and an P 8,461,990-worth backhoe to expedite construction works and clearing of roads during disasters. “We have continuously supported our affected families and attended to their needs. All of these developments were made possible through the sustained support of the provincial and local government units of Davao Oriental,” Director Razon said. To date, a total of 18,447 MSAP units have already been completed in Davao Oriental, most of which are located in the hardest-hit towns of Baganga, Cateel and Boston. “Wala gyud mi gipabayaan sa DSWD. Wala man gyud mi naigo pag ayo sa Pablo pero gilupad sa Bagyong Agaton amoang balay. Daghang salamat sa pinaskohan sa DSWD(DSWD never abandoned us. Our house was not heavily damaged by Typhoon Pablo but Typhoon Agaton blew our house away. Thanks much to the Christmas present of DSWD),” Nalita Macatubay of Tarragona said. Governor Corazon Malanyaon lauded the support and assistance of DSWD throughout the three years. “DSWD has poured so much support and never-ending assistance to the people of Davao Oriental.” Tarragona Mayor Nestor L. Uy expressed his gratitude to DSWD. “We were not as devastated as Boston, Baganga and Cateel yet DSWD has provided more than what we expected. Let us take care of the blessings that came from God who made DSWD the instrument.” (DSWD/Florame B. Espada/ccd)

Megaworld to speed up office space, retail projects

ROPERTY developer Megaworld Corp. is accelerating its office and retail space launches next year in a bid to further build its recurring income portfolio, optimistic on the markets segment despite the coming presidential elections and overseas concerns. “Our outlook, we’re optimistic because we feel (that) as we continue to strive hard in improving our office and retail portfolio, this continues to drive demand also for residential (projects),” Megaworld senior vice president Jericho Go told reporters. Go said the company aims to sustain offering over 100,000 square meters of gross leasable area in 2016. “That is actually the minimum. Please keep in mind that amongst all the other developers, Megaworld is the only developer that has at least 130 tenants for office… The biggest portion of leases comes from expansion, not from new ones,” he added. Go noted that Megaworld’s six office towers in McKinley

West at Fort Bonifacio alone will have a total of 60,000 square meters of office space. “The 30,000 square meters we’re going to top it off by end this year, then next 30,000 square meters second to third quarter next year… The balance is between Iloilo, Cebu and other parts of Luzon,” he further said. By end-2015, tycoon Andrew Tan-led property developer’s total office spaces are expected to reach 712,000 square meters. “We are very strong in terms of residential sales. So in order for us to balance our portfolio, you always have to have a healthy mix of one-time income and recurring. These should be balanced, either 6040, 50-50 or whatever. The recurring income comes from office and retail,” Go reasoned. He was confident that the 2016 presidential elections would have no effect on the real estate market. “They (analysts) are very confident that whoever wins the election, we will continue

94 workers hired in DOLE’s job fair By CHENEEN R. CAPON

crc@edgedavao.net

T’S an early Christmas gift for 94 job seekers from Davao City and nearby provinces that were hired-onspot (HOT) during the 82nd DOLE (Department of Labor and Employment) at the Abreeza Mall last Tuesday. DOLE 11 regional director lawyer Joffrey Suyao told EDGE Davao in a text message that majority of those hired were for local employment totaling to 72, with 39 of them are females and 33 males. Suyao also said that 22 job applicants were hired by some participating companies for overseas employment, of which 13 were male and 9

were female. With the 94 hires out of 409 qualified registered applicants, the DOLE 11 surpassed its 15 percent target in this year’s annual anniversary job fair. The DOLE 11 recorded a total of 638 registered applicants in the one-day job fair. Participating companies for both local and overseas employment had interviewed a total of 1,781 applicants which are majority for local jobs. Aside from the one-day event, the DOLE 11 has conducted a mini-job fair and per-registration event five

days prior. Earlier, Suyao said DOLE’s anniversary fair give chance of employment to October graduates and to those who are still fishing for better jobs. A total of 21,091 job vacancies locally and abroad will be made available in this year’s anniversary job fair, according to Suyao. This year’s anniversary job fair was participated by a total of 37 employers, of which 52 were local and 21 were overseas,” he said. Of the 21, 091 total job vacancies posted in the 82nd DOLE anniversary Job Fair, majority or a total of 16,201

were for overseas employment while only 4, 890 were local. The top ten job openings abroad are nurses, engineers, electricians, cooks, service crew, mechanic, welders, cashiers, drivers, and all-around beauticians. Meanwhile, most vacancies for local employment are call center agents, accounting staff, engineers, IT specialist, cashiers, sales associates, factory workers, machine operator, and promo merchandisers. Last year’s anniversary job fair was participated by an estimate of more than 2,500 job applicants.

“Thousands of sickness notifications are belatedly being filed by employers every year. With the online submission of sickness notifications, we expect employers to be more prompt with notifying SSS of their employees’ illnesses, as the process now offers them more convenience and flexibility,” Viola said. Sickness benefits are daily cash allowances given to qualified SSS members with a minimum of four straight days of illness under the regular Social Security (SS) program. For employed members, sickness benefits are granted as long as the member’s company sick leaves in a given year have been fully consumed. Both employers and em-

ployees must comply with the 10-day notification period. Employees should notify their respective employers by submitting the prescribed CLD 9N form within five days from start of their home confinement, and employers should then notify the SSS manually or electronically within five days from receipt of the notification form. “If the employee has informed the employer of the sickness on time, but the employer was late in filing the sickness notification with the SSS, the said worker would be entitled to the full amount of sickness benefit from the employer. However, the employer’s reimbursable amount from the SSS would be re-

duced as penalty for the late notification,” Viola said. The employer must be a registered user of the SSS Website before it can access the online facility for the electronic submission of sickness notifications. Submission of sickness notifications are done through the E-Services Menu of the SSS Website. In submitting the online notification, employers should provide the member’s SS number, confinement start date, type of claim whether SS and EC, confinement location whether hospital or home, number of days of illness, and the physician’s license number. “The employer must sub-

SSS starts accepting online submission of sickness notifications by employers E

MPLOYERS can now submit online sickness notifications of their employees to the Social Security System through the SSS Website (www.sss.gov.ph). This web-based facility aims to prevent late filing of notification which reduces the amount of sickness benefit reimbursement claimed from the SSS. SSS Officer-in-Charge of Medical Services Division Dr. Brenda P. Viola said the online facility is expected to help reduce the number of cases of late filing by employers, who are required to notify the SSS of their workers’ illnesses within five days from receipt of their employees’ sickness notification form.

T happened in 2011 in the early morning of Good Friday in a small-scale mining community called Kingking in Pantukan, Compostela Valley. When a landslide, which was induced by heavy rains, occurred, eight people were killed and many were injured. It was not the first time though. In 2009, a similar landslide struck the same barangay and nearby community, leaving 21 people dead, including children. But despite these events, people still continue mining the area. The reason: Kingking has one of the largest underdeveloped copper-gold deposits in the world with a measured and indicated equivalent copper-gold resource of 791.5 metric tons, according to some news reports.

The Philippines is one of the world’s producers of metallic commodities. “The country was eyed as the mining country of the Pacific region by 2010,” said Dr. Antonio M. Daño, of Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (ERDB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). In a report released by the DENR’s Mining and Geo-Sciences Bureau (MGB) in 2012, the Philippines was ranked the fifth richest country in the world in terms of mineral resources. In terms of gold, the country ranks second and third in copper. “When it comes to nickel, the country has the largest nickel reserves,” the MGB report claims. “This is the reason why, of the 35 metallic mines in the country, mostly

Open-pit mining are operating a nickel mining.” In 2010, the Philippines became the third biggest producer of nickel ore, behind Russia and Indonesia, vaulting over Australia and Canada. Dr. Daño, in a forum held in Kidapawan City recently, reported the country ranks second in the world’s source of chromite. “It is considered as one of the largest in the

world,” he pointed out. All in all, the country has an estimated $840 billion worth of untapped mineral wealth, according to MBG. Mining: Legal Notes and Materials, published by the Legal Rights and Natural Resources Center, Inc. and Kasama sa Kalikasan , defines mining as “the process of extracting minerals from the earth.” “In Mining Engineering practice, mining is usually taken to mean the extraction of ores, coal or stone from the earth,” the book explains. “Ores are mineral deposits that can be worked at a profit under existing economic conditions. Stone includes industrial (usually non-metallic) minerals such as calcite (limestone), quartz and other similar products.” Mining can be undertaken from the surface or underground. “In surface mining, the rock-breakage-materials handling cycle is usually done first to remove (or strip) the overburden (expose the ore body), and then actual physical extraction,” the book says. Surface mining can be done either through mechanical extraction or the use of aqueous methods, which makes use of hydraulic action or solution attack. “The most common methods of surface (mechanical extraction) mining are open-pit, quarrying, open-cast and auger mining,” the book states.

Underground mining, on the other hand, can be undertaken through various methods including room-and-pillar, stoping and caving. “Caving methods are particularly distinct in that ‘caving,’ or the collapse of the ore body or the overlying rock is actually induced and controlled during operations,” the book says. Wikipedia defines stoping as “the process of extracting the desired ore or other mineral from an underground mine, leaving behind an open space known as a stope.” Stoping is used when the country rock is sufficiently strong not to collapse into the stope, although in most cases artificial support is also provided. Among the most common mining method practiced in the Philippines is open-pit because of relatively low cost. “Open-pit mining entails the removal of any overburden in order to expose the mineral deposit,” the book says. “This operation is dependent on the type of overburden. In cases where the overburden consists of highly consolidated rock, blasting is used.” Open-pit mining may cheaper when compared to other methods, but it is not environmentally-sound. “Open-pit mining clears the vegetation covering the deposits, exposing the soil and permanently changing the

landscape and land use,” Dr. Daño reminded. In Davao City, Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte is very much against mining. In the last 20 years, no mining company has dared to enter the city because the city government’s has banned mineral extraction. During his Sunday TV program entitled “Gikan sa Masa, Para sa Masa,” earlier this year, the mayor told prospective mining companies: “I am putting you on notice. I don’t want you here.” On May 5, the City Council enacted the mining ban. “No approval shall be granted or issued by the city through its Sangguniang Panglungsod to any person, natural or juridical, to undertake any and all forms of mining operation in any area within the territorial jurisdiction of Davao City, except rocks and mineral substances classified under the quarry,” Section 5 of the Ordinance states. Quarrying, which is a form of mining, is not included in the ban. It is the extraction of rocks, sand, gravel and other quarry resources. “We recognized the importance of these construction materials and the operation of companies, like Holcim, provides labor opportunities to our fellow Dabawenyos,” said Danilo C. Dayanghirang, the city councilor who was the proponent of the draft ordinance. (To be concluded)

On human rights

HE issue of human rights has always been a thorny one for Dabawenyos especially now that Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has formally joined the race for Malacañang. The mythos that is wrapped around Davao City is that it has achieved its state of relative peace and order through the iron hand of Duterte, and that individual rights had been subverted and abused in the pursuit of this goal. More to the point, it is widely believed that criminals, particularly drug lords, have been killed by vigilantes belonging to the allegedly state-sponsored Davao Death Squad (DDS), a shadowy group that has been blamed for more than a thousand summary executions since the mid-1990s. It is “common knowledge,” so goes the narrative, that drug pushers are being killed by people working under direct orders of the mayor. This is the accusation of such groups as Amnesty International (AI) and Human Rights Watch (HRW), two US-based groups that have taken it upon themselves to lecture the country on human rights. According to these two groups, Duterte should be investigated and prosecuted for being responsible for the deaths of countless people — some of them children — on mere suspicion that they are criminals. AI and HRW claim to have been monitoring Duterte for quite some time and have dug up real dirt on him, squarely blaming him for the summary executions and

raising the alarm that should he win the presidency, he would do the same on a national scale. But accusing the mayor of human rights violations is one thing, proving it quite another. Indeed, in all the years AI and HRW have claimed to be watching Duterte closely, they have never presented concrete proof to back up their claims. In fact, AI’s Philippine chair Ritz Lee Santos III can only say the following: “There are no formal charges in court, but based on the records of the Commission on Human Rights, which we also monitor, there are allegations of human rights violations against him.” In other words, the group has no solid evidence and has to rely on other groups and agencies for its data. And as Duterte himself has pointed, the CHR itself and the Department of Justice (DOJ) — both of which were once under his nemesis Leila de Lima — have never filed formal cases against him in court. “When she was the chair of the Human Rights she had been lambasting me saying that I am a human rights violator. When she was the DOJ she continued her attacks on me. But she did not file any case against me,” he said — giving credence to suspicion that the human rights card is being played only because the mayor is running for president. For if not, wouldn’t they have pursued the matter long ago?

BSP’s business confidence and what it means

HAT makes a confident and upbeat business environment? In essence, it is not a milieu that makes business easy or relaxing, but a clearer definition is that it creates an encouraging atmosphere for expanding business operations and a situation that allows the investing of more capital. The recent survey of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas reports that business confidence has grown, noting that businessmen are upbeat. The agency asked 1,514 firms, resulting in an overall confidence index of 51.3% for the last quarter of the year, up from 41.4% a year ago, and 48.3% in 2013. Of course, this is the result of a survey, meaning, these are collected opinions and perspectives of business and industry players. In my book, a stronger indicator of business confidence is the increase in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), which covers both new money for new investments, and an increase in in lending to or capitalization of existing foreign owned business. An increase in business registrations is also a good indicator, and a spike in the demand for construction materials. All these point to new brick and mortar investments that create jobs. Increased

ROM out of the blue – literally, you might say – the Mindanaoan Rodrigo Duterte emerged out of the shadows to become the candidate to beat in the May 2016 polls. The tough-talking Davao City mayor topped the recent SWS survey with a nation-wide following of 38%, followed by Grace Poe and VP Binay (tied at 21%), LP’s Mar Roxas, 15% and Miriam Santiago, 4%. Critics and political analysts as usual dismiss the remarkable rise of Duterte as just not extraordinary, saying the same thing happened to both Binay and Poe at the beginning when they expressed their desire to run for the presidency, then their respective ratings plummeted as political developments began to take real shape. Unfortunately, for Duterte’s critics, they completely ignore, if not utterly fail to see, the connection between the historical past to the present state of political affairs and national governance. They forget, for instance, the decades of neglect the national government has inflicted on Mindanao since the time the late president Ramon Magsaysay labeled the country’s second biggest is-

Perhaps the biggest impact of positive confidence figures is that it is meant to improve perception of our economy in the eyes of rating agencies, multinationals, and the stock market. As we hit the tail of the bear months, something has to push the PSE index upward to enable investors to recoup their recent losses. For now, the index continues to hover at just below the 7,000 mark, to the consternation of not a few stock investors looking for some returns as the yuletide enters. Institutions such as the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) have released their annual economic reports and forecasts,

all the more adding analysis and numbers to either hopes or fears, or both. At the same time, annual planning of businesses enters the advanced phase as companies prepare next year’s capital outlays and related budgets. Reports are read and analyzed as the basis for future forecasts and eventual business decisions. Shall we expand or contract, venture or conserve? Can the local market continue to absorb what we can offer? It is thus in government’s interest that business attitude remains upbeat. The global economy will remain volatile as the largest economies will not grow as fast and as well as they did, thereby diminishing their capacity to buy our own products or prompt the employment of our OFWs. More countries we send workers to depend in one way or another on the bigger economies. As these lower their own growth, opportunities for Filipino workers and products are also threatened. It therefore is vital that our economy continue to strengthen on its own, as we consume our own products and demand, and provide for ourselves. For once, we all play a part in creating the business environment, in the taxes we pay, in the decision to buy a

new house or car, or make household repairs, even in the Christmas gifts we buy, and when we buy local products or choose to patronize local businesses. How much money we put into our economy, or choose to save or reinvest, determines its health. As global markets in Europe, China, and the US remain volatile in the medium term, how we spend can make or break our own economy, as fresh capital needs to be unleashed and the productive capacities of the people need to be harnessed to create new wealth to drive our own growth to make us attractive for global capital seeking better returns as their own home markets prove less able to deliver on their expectations. At the same time, there is an increasing global population that on one end is young and growing, and in other countries, aging and declining. Hence, all the talk about inclusive growth is presupposed on the developing and emerging economies being able to contribute to the global wealth tank. In the end, business confidence is confidence in our economy. How bullish we are on our own economy will influence how we continue growing, and how we keep the bears of the western decline and volatility at bay.

land as the SPECKS OF LIFE “Land of Promise.” These critics also forget that these decades of government neglect have Fred C. Lumba resulted in the sorry disarray of disparate culture and political oneness of Mindanaoans who were struggling then to find a solution to ethnic diversity so that they could blend themselves into one, united society. For more than three scores, Mindanaoans were wooed by politicians with excellent rhetoric and oratorical prowess, promising them all the stars and the planets, even heaven itself. Perhaps, the long wait is over. I am not implying any messianic message here. I am just saying that Mindanaoans have finally awakened from a bad dream – a nightmare – and have grown weary of the political gobbledygook peddled by politicians embedded in imperial

Manila. Finally, he has arrived. Duterte is not promising heaven and earth for the Filipino nation. By instituting constitutional reforms through federalism, Duterte’s idea of genuine governance starts with a stable peace (law and order) so that everyone is safe to walk the streets anytime, day or night. Duterte desires a drug-free Philippines. Though a ‘probinsiyano’, he knows the ominous magnitude of the drug menace like the palm of his hand. Tons of money from the illegal drugs trade flow into the pockets of corrupt government authorities - local executives, judges, policemen, law-enforcement agents, even barangay officials. The Philippines has become the favorite trans-shipment point of smuggled cocaine, shabu, commodities (rice, oil, onions, poultry, etc), guns and other military equipment. Unwittingly, the country is fast becoming the next Columbia in the making. Justice is perverted in favor of the moneyed few. Aber, what has “Daang Matuwid” to say about this? Duterte hit the nail right on the head.

A stable peace, law and order will create a domino effect. Businessmen will come to invest. Singapore is the finest example. Inversely, would businessmen invest their money in Syria? When there is investment, employment and livelihood opportunities are generated. Tourism is ignited and the countryside begins to develop and prosper. Then Juan dela Cruz and his ilk will begin to smile. Wala nang istambay. You cannot effectively rule a country of more than 100 million people who have empty stomach. Simple logic lang di ba? Walang pambobola. Maraming kandidato puro empty rhetoric. Motherhood statements. Puro pangako pero walang track record. Can Duterte duplicate what he has done in Davao City making it the fourth safest city in the world? Not yet. I will not categorically say yes now. He is not yet president of the country. But if you ask me if he has the balls to do it, I will say categorically that he has more than just the balls. Either you hate him or like him. Take your pick: scourge or sage? (Email your feedback to fredlumba@yahoo.com). God bless the Philippines!

tion watch list due to incidents of ambush and killing of barangay captains. She said the final list will be divuled nex year after the Joint Coordination Conference with the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Commission on Elections (Comelec). She said there are some areas in the city that are affected by armed groups such as Toril and Calinan. “The agencies involved in the Joint Coordinating Team will determine next whether to include these areas under category 1 or 2,” she said. “Siguro, magkaroon muna tayo ng justifications coming from the station commanders kung ano na ang level threat nila in terms of lawless armed groups (Maybe, we will have to come up with justification from the station commanders to identify their level of threat in terms of lawless armed groups ),” she said. Driz said the initial data presented by PRO 11 yesterday came from the reports in the previous elections.

She assured the public that the DCPO is ready for the next year’s election. Meanwhile, dela Cerna said Digos City in Davao del Sur has been initially placed in both categories 1 and 2 because of previous reports of armed threats and serious political rivalry during the 2013 election. Dela Cerna said the municipalities of Malita and Malalag in Davao del Sur are under category 1 while the municipalities of Bansalan, Sta. Cruz, Padada, Hagonoy, and Kiblawan are under category 2. For Davao Oriental, some barangays in Mati City and the municipalities of Lupon and Banay-Banay are placed under category 2. For Compostela Valley, the municipalities of Maco, Mabini, Pantukan, Montevista, Monkayo, and Laak are still under monitoring and are still to be categorized. Dela Cerna said there are affected barangays in these municipalities in Compostela Valley but the monitoring is still in the process.

Ibabalik po natin ang malasakit sa serbisyo publiko at pagsusulong ng disiplina sa pagsunod sa mga batas upang mapanatili ang kaayusan at kapayapaan. These are my commitments to him (Duterte) and Filipino people,” Romualdez, stressed. He thanked Duterte for the statement of endorsement to his senatorial bid and for believing on his ability and leadership as senatorial can-

didate who can contribute for the betterment of the country. “I am deeply humbled and honored for the support to us by Mayor Duterte,” Romualdez, a former chairman of the House committee on ethics, said. Earlier, Romualdez thanked Sen. Grace Poe for her “virtual endorsement” to his Senate bid despite his non-inclusion to its official senatorial lineup, assuring her that he would push the return of “malasakit” (compassion) to public service.

can still be used for daily transactions. Malic said from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2016, the old banknote series can no longer be used for daily transactions and can only be exchanged in authorized agent banks and the BSP Cash Department or any of its Regional Offices or Branches. Malic said starting January 1, 2017, demonetized banknotes will no longer have monetary value. Only the new bank notes series will remain as legal tender in the country. As explained by Malic, demonetization is the process of removing the monetary value of a legal tender currency by the issuing authority. A demonetized currency will no longer be accepted to pay for goods and services. The BSP demonetization of old banknote series is based

on Section 57 of Republic Act 7653, otherwise known as “The New Central Bank Act,” which provides for replacement of notes of any series or denomination which are more than five years old and coins which are more than 10 years old. Malic explained the BSP old banknote series, introduced in 1935 or 30 years ago, is being replaced by the NGC series which was launched in 2010. She said some P67 billion worth of these old series need to be exchanged for the NGC. According to her, central banks demonetize their currency for the following reasons: prevention of counterfeiting; benchmarking with other countries; change in the type or form of government; change in the type of currencies used within the country as part of social or political reform; redefining the value of money caused by hyper-inflation; and reduction to only one design series for countries with two or more design series of notes in circulation for simplification.

Swimming on lane 7, Ernie swam side by side his chief rivals before taking the lead at the 19-second mark of the butterfly leg. He stretched his lead to five meters at the end of the butterfly leg and broke away in the backstroke leg leaving the rest of the field gasping in awe.

Mavericks sweep IPTL Manila T

HE Philippine Mavericks completed a sweep of the Manila leg of the International Premier Tennis League (IPTL) Season 2 as they outlasted the Indian Aces, 25-24, on Tuesday night to the delight of the home crowd at the Mall of Asia Arena. The two teams split their first four sets to set the stage for a thrilling finale in the men’s singles where Milos

Raonic showed steely nerves in the shootout to frustrate crowd favorite Rafael Nadal. “It’s amazing,” Raonic, a 2014 Wimbledon semifinalist, said. “As the home team, it was an honor to compete here.” “Three wins at home is incredible,” added legends player Mark Philippoussis, whose team dealt the Aces their first loss in three matches. The Aces, though, kept the

leads in the standings as their hiked thier game win-loss record to 106-89, slightly ahead of the Mavericks (131-113) with still a game on hand. Philippoussis got the Mavericks off to a great start with a 6-4 win over Fabrice Santoro. The Aces retaliated with a win in the men’s doubles where Nadal and Ivan Dodig beat Richard Gasquet and Edouard Roger-Vasselin, 6-4.

Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna then repulsed Serena Williams and Treat Huey, 6-4, in the mixed doubles as the Aces suddenly went on top. But the Mavericks equalized anew after Williams overpowered Samantha Stosur, 6-3, in the women’s singles that left the outcome in the hands of Raonic and Nadal. The five-city tour continues in New Delhi on Thursday.

13 straight road games this season, breaking a tie with the 1969-70 Knicks for the league’s best road start. The Warriors next play on Friday night in Boston. Indiana was led by Paul George with 33 points and C.J. Miles with 24. Golden State broke away in the first quarter with its big burst, extended the lead to 5028 early in the second quarter and led by as much as 32 late in the third quarter. But Indiana came back in the fourth, cutting the deficit to 129-123 with 24.8 seconds to go when George made a free throw after Draymond Green was called for a technical foul. That was as close as the Pacers could get. Indiana tied a dubious franchise record in its NBA era by allowing 44 first-quarter points and barely avoided another record-breaking defensive low when it trailed 79-60 at the half.

The Pacers gave up 44 points in the opening quarter at Chicago in December 1990 and a franchise-worst 80 points in the first half at the Lakers in November 1978. This time, it was largely because of Thompson who was 8 of 10 on 3-pointers in the first half. He finished 10 of 16 from beyond the arc, one short of the career high he had in January against Sacramento. Curry, the reigning MVP and league’s top scorer, was 11 of 23 from the field and made three 3s. He’s now made at least one 3 in 87 consecutive road games, tying the league record set by Rashard Lewis from 2007-09.

Warriors stretch streak to 23 T

HE Golden State Warriors followed the script perfectly for three quarters Tuesday night (Wednesday, Manila time). Then things got a bit more interesting. The defending NBA champions improved to 23-0, with Klay Thompson scoring a season-high 39 points and Stephen Curry adding 29 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists in a 131-123 victory over the Indiana Pacers.
