CA junks ACT petition vs police over profiling T

BY JOMAR CANLAS

(% #/524 OF !PPEALS #! ON 4HURSDAY JUNKED THE PETITION OF THE !LLIANCE OF #ONCERNED 4EACHERS !#4 ON THE MOVE OF THE 0HILIPPINE .ATIONAL 0OLICE 0.0 TO SPY AND PROkLE THEIR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOL TEACHER MEMBERS By a mere technicality, the appeals court moved to dismiss the petition for prohibition with prayer for the issuance of a temporary restraining order.

In a four-page resolution, the CA dismissed the petition for several INkRMITIES IN THE DOCUMENTS “The petition is not accompanied

BY CERTIkED TRUE COPIES OF THE VARIOUS assailed PNP Memoranda, in violation of Rule 65, Section 2, Rules of Court in relation to Rule 46, Section 3, Rules of Court; The petition does not indicate the material dates when the petitioners received the various assailed PNP Memoranda, in violation of Rule 46, Section 3, of the Rules of Court;

“The petition does not indicate the current date of issuance of the IBP Membership Number of the petitioner’s counsel, in violation of Bar Matter 287 dated 26 September 2000; “The petition does not indicate the current date of issuance of the Professional Tax Number (PTR) of the petitioners’ counsel, in violation of Bar Matter Number 1132 dated 12 November 2002.�

The ruling was penned by CA Associate Justice Nina AntonioValenzuela, and was concurred in

by Justices Ricardo Rosario and Perpetua Atal-Pano.

It will be recalled that a 42-page PETITION WAS kLED BY !#4 WHEREIN

they asked the appeals court to halt the move of the police to inventory all the teachers who belong to ACT. The petitioners who lodged the case were ACT National Chairman Joselyn Martirez and Secretary General Raymond Basilio.

They pleaded to strike down the memoranda issued by the PNP’s intelligence units last December as illegal and unconstitutional.

Named respondents were PNP chief Director General Oscar Albayalde and Department of the Interior and Local Government chief Eduardo AĂąo. “All that petitioners have done are in furtherance of the rights and interests of teachers who have long been a marginalized and oppressed sector in the Philippines.

Teachers, as we know, receive the lowest salaries among the ranks of professionals. They are exploited by their employers, whether in the public or private sectors, through long working hours and oversized classes, and are often deprived of BENEkTS EVEN THOSE THAT ARE MANdated by law,� the petition stated.

A BILL reforming the country’s pension system for military and uniformed personnel (MUP) would likely be a law soon after President Rodrigo Duterte committed to certify it as urgent, Malacaùang said on Thursday.

In a news briefing, Palace spokesman Salvador Panelo said Duterte made the decision during the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday evening.

Panelo said the certification of urgency might be due to calls from the troops regarding their pension fund. g;4HE CERTIkCATION CAME= CONsidering that the Armed Forces is REALLY INVOLVED IN OUR kGHT AGAINST rebellion, terrorism and since our troops are almost always in danger,� he said.

Under the measure, active members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and other uniformed government troops may start to receive their pension at the age of 60.

It also raises the compulsory retirement age of soldiers to 60 years old, from 56 years old.

Those who decide to retire early will receive their pensions when they reach 60 years old.

The lump sum upon retirement

or separation will only be at 18 months, from 36 months.

The pension rate for those who were wounded or killed in action will be raised to 90 percent of base pay, on top of the longevity pay.

Panelo said it was about time to move the retirement age of the troops since 56 years old is too early an age to retire. “Apart from [the reason that] their skills are really needed, I see 56 [years old] is very early retirement‌That is why it is regretful that you studied that much then you retire that early. They want to serve more, for longer time,â€? he said.

Last year, Duterte signed Joint Resolution 1, which increased the base pay of the MUP in the government. “There is a need to adjust the compensation package of MUP in order to make it more commensurate with their critical role in maintaining national security and peace and order, taking into consideration their exposure to high-risk environments in the performance of their duties,� the resolution read.

other vaccines, as measles can be prevented with a vaccine. “Huwag po nating ilito ang Dengvaxia sa ibang bakuna (Do not confuse Dengvaxia with other vaccines),� he added. “The safest prevention is still through vaccines. Measles is a vaccine preventable disease,�

Duque said.

Dr. Takeshi Kasai, World Health Organization regional director in the Western Pacific, encouraged parents to have their children vaccinated in order to prevent measles. “I urge everyone to [have your children vaccinated] to prevent measles and the complications from this contagious disease,� he said on Twitter.

“The MMR [measles, mumps and rubella] vaccine has been in use for over 50 years. It is safe and effective,� Kasai said.

The vaccine scare was caused by a controversy over the Dengvaxia vaccine, which is accredited in the United States and European Union.

In announcing the President ordering Duque to step up the promotion of the government’s immunization program, Panelo said Duterte was “saddened� by the measles outbreaks. “He [Duterte] said he directed Secretary Duque to do something about it. And Secretary Duque said [they’re] already doing something about it. So we’re conducting massive immunization, plus information campaign, that it’s better to prevent than to cure,� he added.

The rise in measles cases came amid public’s eroded trust in the government’s immunization program because of the controversy involving the Dengvaxua vaccine, which was blamed for the deaths of some Filipino children.

In the wake of the Dengvaxia controversy, immunization coverage in 2018 slid to 40 percent from at least 70 percent in the last few years, the Health department earlier revealed.

Duterte himself urged the public last week to get vaccinated amid fears of outbreaks. “Do not be lulled and be complacent about it because a baby really needs it. If you do not want Dengvaxia, that’s OK,� he said.

0ANELO SAID 0UBLIC !TTORNEYS /FkCE (PAO) chief Persida Acosta cannot be blamed for a perceived vaccine scare,which has purportedly led to the measles outbreaks in the country.

But he noted Duque believed that Acosta aggravated the situation by kLING CASES AGAINST HIM “Nobody blamed anybody there.

But Secretary Duque was complaining how the PAO had impleaded him in several cases, and that is one of the reasons why [according to him] people are hesitant [because they lost trust in the government] because of [the] Dengvaxia [scare],�

Panelo said. !COSTA HAS BEEN kLING CRIMINAL complaints against former and inCUMBENT (EALTH OFkCIALS OVER THE death of children who had been inoculated with the controversial Dengvaxia vaccine.

PAO maintained that there was negligence on the part of the government in screening potential RECIPIENTS OF THE VACCINE SINCE 3ANOk Pasteur itself declared that a recipient who had not yet contracted dengue would have a greater risk of developing severe diseases.

When asked if the Palace will ask Acosta to refrain from connecting Dengvaxia with other vaccines, Panelo said, “You know, the PAO chief is responsible enough to know if her actions would result in discouraging people or children of parents to have themselves immunized. So we will leave it to her.� “I think it’s not a matter of agreeing or not. I think it’s a matter of whether that is the reality. [Has] the scandal really discouraged [those concerned]? From the looks of it, it would seem so. In other words, it doesn’t matter who or what the Palace thinks about it. The question is: Is that the fact?� he added.

P75 billion to the 2019 budget of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

The DBM pointed out that the accusations against the DBM over the DPWH budget are baseless.

It reiterated President Rodrigo Duterte’s knowledge of the DPWH budget. “On July 9, 2018, a Cabinet meeting was held where the President Rodrigo Duterte approved the budget, including the P555 billion allocation for the DPWH,� it said.

The House panel issued the subpoenas after Diokno snubbed

the hearings many times.

Others who were also subpoenaed to show up in the hearing were Undersecretaries Pangandaman, Ellen Tumang and Arriane Geronimo of the Department of Budget and Management (DBM); Undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral, Milagros Manaysay, Glenn Degal, Froilan Mabini and Gerald Longoria of the DPWH; Anti-Money Laundering Council Executive Director Mel George Racela; and Landbank of the PhilippinesSorsogon Assistant Vice President Leonora Ariola.

Consolacion Leoncio and Liai-

son Officer Francisco Clemente of CT Leoncio Construction and Trading, one of the alleged contractors used by Aremar Construction to bag multibillion-peso government contracts, were also ordered to appear.

Aremar belongs to the in-laws of Diokno’s daughter.

The Andaya panel also ordered THE $07( OFkCIALS TO SUPPLY A physical copy and a soft copy of the list of projects amounting to P75 billion from the DBM to be taken up in the hearing.

The group asked the CA to issue a writ of preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order, seeking to stop the implementation of the memoranda issued by the PNP ordering its members to conduct an inventory of all teachers who belong to ACT. ACT said the PNP’s action violated its constitutional right to association, right to assembly and to petition the government for redress of grievances, right to privacy, freedom of expression, and right to protection to labor.

In particular, it slammed the respondents as the order violates their rights under Article III, Section 8 in relation to Article III, Section 4 of the 1987 Constitution.

Also, it argued that such move violates Republic Act 10173 (Data Privacy Act), which safeguards the right to privacy of every individual. “Petitioners’ militant orientation AND AFkNITY WITH PROGRESSIVE GROUPS do not constitute acts contrary to law. Neither do its salutary advocacies warrant any state infringement and curtailment of their right to freely associate,� it said.

Q OUTBREAK FROM A1

Measles In an email sent to The Manila Times on Thursday, San Lazaro Hospital in Manila said it had recorded 56 deaths from the measles outbreaks as of Wednesday. )N JUST THE kRST MONTH OF

the hospital tallied 1,550 reported cases of measles, in contrast to 2,654 cases and 68 deaths in 2018.

Most of the victims were children between three months and four years old.

No deaths were reported in the 155 reported cases reported among adults between the ages of 19 and 41.

Amid the reported measles outbreaks in the 13 regions, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered a “vigorous campaign� to promote the government’s immunization program.

In a statement, Duterte’s spokesman Salvador Panelo on Thursday said the immunization program was on the agenda of Wednesday’s Cabinet meeting in Malacaùang.

In Metro Manila, there were 441 reported cases with five deaths, jumping from 36 reported cases in 2018.

In Central Luzon, there were 192 cases with four deaths, rising from 32 cases last year.

Eastern Visayas (Region 8) posted the highest case increase, 54, as against one in 2018.

No deaths were reported in Mimaropa, but there were 70 cases reported, an increase from just two last year.

Mimaropa groups the provinces of Mindoro Occidental and Mindoro Oriental, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan.

Soccsksargen is composed of the provinces of South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and General Santos City.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque 3rd told reporters that the 13 regions “should step up the response against this highly communicable disease, as well as ensure that preventive measures play a vital role in [reining in] the disease.�

The Health department said measles is a viral and contagious disease and could be transferred through sneezing, coughing and close contact.

Complications, it added, could

cause diarrhea, middle-ear infection, malnutrition, among others, and even death.

Duque recommended immunization of and vitamin A supplementation to nine-month-old children and to others who have not been vaccinated to combat the measles outbreaks. “Supportive measures like building the nutritional status of the sick person and increasing oral rehydration are important measures to increase body resisTANCE AND REPLACE LOST BODY lUIDS caused by coughing, diarrhea and perspiration,� he told reporters.

Despite the Dengvaxia scare, Duque said the anti-dengue vaccine should not be confused with

stalled deliberations on the P3.8trillion General Appropriations Bill (GAB) for 2019, and the country has been operating on a reenacted 2018 budget.

Lacson claimed that some P160 million in allocations per congressman were retained during a “small-group� bicameral committee meeting on Wednesday.

The Senate will extend its session on Friday, February 8, to decide whether or not to ratify the bicameral conference committee report on the P3.8trillion budget.

JV backs easy access NCRPO downgrades Metro alert level to medical marijuana SEN. Joseph Victor “JV� Ejercito is studying the possibility of amending the Dangerous Drugs Act (DDA) to ease the procedure on obtaining medical marijuana as alternative treatment for various ailments.

Ejercito, chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, on Wednesday conducted a public hearing on the proposed House Bill 6517 which aims to provide access to medical cannabis and expand research into its medical properties. “Probably. Iyan ang ating tinitingan. Titimbangin natin kung kinakailangan pa natin ng panibagong batas (We’re studying that matter. We’ll weigh the necessity of whether there is a need for a new law),â€? Ejercito said in a chance interview after the public hearing. “Perhaps we can introduce amendments to the DDA, FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to make it accessible to those who are really suffering. The DDB (Dangerous Drugs Board) and FDA must help those who need it out of compassion,â€? he said in Filipino. In a position paper submitted to the Senate health panel, Health Secretary Enrique Duque 3rd said, “Prescription and dispensation of medical cannabis for compassionate use should only be through guidelines stipulated by FDA and the DDB, and only through a special license issued by PDEA (Philippine Drugs Enforcement Agency).â€? “All I can ask is for FDA, DDB, to allowÂ

those who are presently suffering access [to medical marijuana] while we are deliberating it. Sana, kung mapadali ang proseso mas maganda (It will be nicer if the process in obtaining it will be expedited),� Ejercito said. “Perhaps we can adjust the rules because they said that we don’t need another law [to allow use of medical cannabis].

However, the other side said the price [of medical marijuana] is quite expensive because we have to get it from the United States. We have to weigh this,� he added. “Controversial as it may seem, but if it (medical marijuana) will alleviate the pain and prolong lives, why not? If it will be more accessible, why not? I’m open [to it],� the reelectionist senator said. Duque said the proposed designation of Medical Cannabis Compassionate Centers within hospitals and Medical Cannabis Research and Safety Compliance Facilities (MCRSCF) “is not necessary and will compromise the limited resources needed to treat life threatening illnesses.� “Legalization of the use of medical cannabis should take into consideration its health benefits and risks based on available evidence, its cost-effectiveness, the regulatory capacity of the concerned agencies, and its impact on personal care of affected individuals,� Duque added.

E d i to r i a l Vaccination alarm amid Dengvaxia’s legal impact

T

WO developments relating to the national health issue right now compel prompt action and attention by the government and the public.

4HE kRST IS THE OFkCIAL DISCLOSURE BY THE $EPARTMENT OF Health (DoH) that there has been a 40 percent drop in the number of children being vaccinated and that there is a measles outbreak in the country right now.

The second is the decision of a House of Representatives joint panel to recommend the filing of graft and technical malversation charges against former President Benigno Aquino 3rd, his Budget Secretary Florencio Abad and Health Secretary Janette Garin, for their accountability in the Dengvaxia fiasco.

Both these developments have grave significance for the nation. Each must be handled with dispatch and resolve. Each concerns a national issue that elicits much interest from the public. The national health situation will not normalize until the government can assure the public that proper and sufficient actions are being taken toward the resolution of these issues.

On the sidelines of a Senate hearing on the proposed excise tax on alcoholic beverages, a DoH undersecretary disclosed a downtrend in the vaccination of children, particularly against measles. While the Health department seeks to administer vaccines to 90 percent of children one to two years old, the agency registered only 70 to 80 percent compliance in 2016 AND 4HE kGURE DROPPED DRAMATICALLY LAST YEAR TO ONLY 40 percent, particularly in Metro Manila.

All this is alarming and requires explanation by our HIGHEST RANKING HEALTH OFkCIALS 4HE VACCINATION SITUATION IS RELATED SIGNIkCANTLY TO THE DECIsion by the House inquiry into the Dengvaxia controversy to recOMMEND THE kLING OF FORMAL CHARGES AGAINST 0RESIDENT !QUINO AND TOP BUDGET AND HEALTH OFkCIALS OF HIS ADMINISTRATION The House joint panel, which inquired into the P3.5billion Dengvaxia tragedy, found collusion among top OFkCIALS IN THE !QUINO GOVERNMENT The joint House Committees on Health and Good Government and Public Accountability approved the inquiry report, which named Aquino, along with his two former SECRETARIES !BAD AND 'ARIN AS WELL AS OTHER OFkCIALS

as liable for their involvement in the procurement and implementation of the Dengvaxia vaccination program.

The report said collusion was apparent among the public OFkCIALS IN THEIR DESIRE TO ENSURE THAT A LARGE QUANTITY OF the vaccines would be purchased by the government for a mass immunization program for school children in the National Capital Region (NCR) and Regions 3 and 4.

MalacaĂąang is correct to keep a hands-off policy on the action of the House.

The legal process should now take over, with the DepartMENT OF *USTICE TAKING THE LEAD IN THE kLING OF CHARGES AND prosecution of the accused.

The fact that former President Aquino is among those who will be charged invests the matter with more than routine importance.

4HIS IS A RElECTION OF THE GRAVITY AND IMPACT OF THE Dengvaxia mess on the nation. We have always felt that concern must not only be on the victims of the tragedy.

A full inquiry was also needed to pinpoint responsibility for the deadly and costly tragedy. /NE STRIKING kNDING OF THE (OUSE REPORT SAID THAT !QUINO AND HIS OFkCIALS gPROVIDED SHORTCUTSu IN THE PROCESS TO FAVOR &RENCH VACCINE MANUFACTURER 3ANOk 0ASTEUR The panel held Aquino liable for approving the use of P3.5 BILLION FROM THE -ISCELLANEOUS 0ERSONNEL "ENEkTS &UND (MPBF) savings for the purchase of the said vaccines. The BUDGET AND HEALTH OFkCIALS WERE NAMED FOR THEIR OWN LIABILITY 4HE kLING OF CHARGES IS A kTTING CULMINATION TO THE AGONIZING wait for the resolution of the Dengvaxia tragedy. ~

2019 Senate race; bonding

ENATORIAL candidate Bong Go could very well be the Social Welfare Secretary, given his many acts of assistance pervasively and suffocatingly published just about daily with pix even.

With his seemingly bottomless resources, he even has full-page ads on how lucky we are to have him. Scandalous, from where I SIT EVEN IN OUR SCOFlAW NATION

with decency and delicadeza going, going, going‌.

Or Bong could consider being local mayor or governor but for the Senate, I’d prefer candidates with articulated thoughts on Bangsamoro, the budget and pork, taxation, Sabah, climate change, nuke plant, China’s irredentism, etc. We cannot just rely on his being a presidential go-fer. What will Bong do in the Senate anyway? )N MEMORY SERVES ) kND IT HARD TO kND A STRONGER TSUNAMI LIKE CAMPAIGN THAN THAT BEING INlICTED NOW BY "ONG (E COULD BE A kNE CIVILIAN head of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), but a senator? Like Congressman Digong Duterte in 1998-2001, as an action bang-bang guy, he would

T.G.I.F. RENE SAGUISAG likely realize that lawmaking is so boring Digong even once offered to resign, hardly attending sessions or taking part in deliberations.

Be careful what you wish for, Bong, it may come true.

Bring back glory of old Senate Bong reminds me of Sen. Money, oops, Manny, Pacquiao who seems to open his mouth most any time only on his future mega-dollar bouts. I wouldn’t mind if Manny had not run and won as a senator, and then lets his colleagues do all the work as he focuses on his seemingly insatiable and certainly not illegitimate desire for more fame and money. But Senate work SHOULD COME kRST INSTEAD OF LINing up three 2019 bouts. “Bring ‘em all on – Pacquiao.�

Boxers, not Islamic terrorists.

His stand is a secret on many national issues. Nabababoy na po yata ng todo-todo ang Senado. He should simply resign or be expelled to help bring back the glory of the old Senate for the people, not self.

For instance, what do Bong and Manny think of Consigliere Sal 0ANELO kNDING NOTHING WRONG OR disturbing in a foreign country putting up facilities in our terriTORY 7ILL THEY TAKE THE lOOR TO express their concern?

This dilletantte-ish attitude seems to me to be violative of the interdiction found in Sec. 25 of Art. XVIII of the Constitution (have Sal, Bong and Manny read the provision?). China is treating us as its 24th province, while majority of our people may fantasize for us to be the 51st state of the Union. Of course, the Kanos would be aghast at the prospect of having another state with 105 million rabbits, a nightmare, while many of us daydream of being Kanos.

A dream-like occasion was last Saturday night’s event at the Manila Polo Club of San Beda HS ‘59. I, a Rizal High alum of 1955

who then entered San Beda, am some kind of Kuya to the group, which validates that there is no need to have a frat to have friends at one another’s backs.

Scattered all over the country and the world, they keep in touch, emailing or meeting for joyous and sad occasions, like helping a member in need. I am reminded of the Ateneo for a Better Philippines group, another real frat, with no demeaning ritual required to get in. Band of Brothers then, in our time (and now, also of Sisters). It kindly invited me to join, through Alex Gaston, with whom I go to way back when.

The only real friends Robert Penn Warren wrote something like the only real friend one may have is that of one’s youth, and I could see the logic and link in these two groups.

It was a magical enchanted evening last Saturday with a lovely chanteuse (Stefanie Quintin?) dishing out songs of our youth, and led us, con brio, in belting out No Mas Amor Que El Tuyo, O Corazon Civino. In the end it was

UIETLY and unobtrusively except to his family and to some of us his friends and admirers, who will ever miss him, Dr. Luciano Santiago, left to meet his Maker last week.

Quiet and unobtrusive he was in person but he left a body of work in history, art, culture and even psychiatry that is writ large, and important and essential to Filipinos who value their identity and legacy.

Upon his return to the Philippines, he joined the Department of Psychiatry at Medical City.

as scholars to the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid in the early 19th century, when I was just intending to go on vacation in Madrid. Because of him, I dutifully went to the Bellas Artes and was sent off to the University of Madrid where the Bellas Artes records had been transferred. It was a thrill to delve into primary historical sources, something I had not done since my graduate school dissertation. In Madrid, on Dr. Santiago’s instigation, I truly enjoyed those afternoons tracing references to /RUHQ]R *XHUUHUR 7HR¿OR 6XFJDQJ Miguel Zaragoza, Juan Luna, etc. It was an entertaining, informative and unique experience on what would have been a run-of-the mill vacation.

Just two weeks before he died, I emailed him about the Damian Domingo aquarelles that the Leon Gallery will auction off next week.

He was quite excited to see them.

He seemed to be pleased that I had gotten in touch. He said he had some health issues but was at work.

He had celebrated his Golden Jubilee as a doctor in 2015 and was now thoroughly and single-mindedly doing research for future books.

It was a blow to receive the news of his death at the age of 76. He had been at work on a history of Pasig, his hometown where his family still lives, among other studies. We hope someone in his family of academics can pick up the torch and bring these studies to fruition and publication.

Whether that happens or not, Dr. Santiago has earned a distinguished and distinctive place in contributions to our knowledge of Philippine history, art, culture and even science.

Dear friend, we will miss you and remember you.

We urge President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to veto this bill because of its antifarmer and anti-consumer provisions.

The proposed law which is authored by Sen. Cynthia Villar and 13 other senators, will reduce the vital function of the government as buyer of our rice produce, especially during the harvest season when the farmgate price is low.

Low-priced government rice will disappear in the market since the stabilization function of the food agency, the National Food Authority, will be scrapped due to SB 1998. Access to low-priced government rice is important to us rice farmers since we depend on it during lean months. The influx of imported rice due to open importation will drastically affect local rice production in the country.

Surely, we will not be able to compete with the cheaper imported rice due to their lower cost production and subsidy from their governments.

Rice farmers need farm inputs such as fertilizer, pesticides and certified/ hybrid seeds to expect a modest harvest. The proposed bill does not address our basic rice production requirements since it focuses on other priorities such us mechanization, seed production, credit, training and extension. Obviously, it shows that rice farmers were not consulted in this regard.

Rice farmers and some of their cooperatives’ investments on grains processing and trading facilities will be equally situated with local grains businessmen like the thousands of rice millers who will be affected once local rice production continuously declines due to competition with imported rice. Further, the vacuum which will be left with the departure of government in its role in grains marketing will be an opportunity for the take-over of businesses.

Bernas of Malaysia and Bulog of Indonesia have already subscribed to rice tariffication, but they did not abandon their governments’ role in state trading, consumer subsidy and farmers’ income support/subsidy. In the Philippines, the proposed rice tarrification bill sponsored by Senator Villar poses danger to the P500 billion rice industry, since our government will now be focusing only on families which will be affected by calamities or emergencies.

Making tourism more responsible BYÂ IDA KARLSSON CAPE TOWN: Long before Joy Daniels became the manager of a travel company she was cleaning rooms at a guesthouse. But after joining a Fair Trade-certified business, a place that valued its staff, in a few years she was soon promoted to manager. ! &AIR 4RADE CERTIkCATION IS ONE of several initiatives in South Africa aimed at developing tourism in a responsible way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way they were running that guesthouse and the way they were dealing with staff was totally different from what I experienced later on. I tried to help out here and there but I was kept back. I was just a cleaner and that was it,â&#x20AC;? she says of her previous company.

But after joining a Fair Tradecertified business she got the opportunity to develop new skills. There was a position available as manager and people encouraged her to apply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have not studied management. Everything I learnt was day-to-day stealing with the eye.

And I had never worked on my own without supervisor. I was very scared, but I realized I had nothing to lose.â&#x20AC;?

She was offered the job, and she says the experience made her grow both personally and professionally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to be very shy. It built up my self-esteem. And when you run a company you think differently in other parts of life as well. There is a lot of things that I learned, how to manage my life and my time, to make sure that my personal life is also in order,â&#x20AC;? Daniels says.

The impact on her life was enormous. The single mum was soon able to move from Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Plain â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a former apartheid suburb for people of color that is

Beneath the slopes of Table Mountain in Cape Town, another Fair Trade Tourism accredited business, a backpacking hostel started in 1990, welcomes travelers from all over the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Me and my best friend Toni wanted to make a difference right from the start and our very first brochures were printed on recycled paper. Unheard of in those days, in fact it was a little difficult to get the paper,â&#x20AC;? Lee Harris, co-owner, told IPS. H a r r i s a n d To n i S h i n a h ave i n ve s t e d h e av i l y i n the well-being and professional development of the staff members. There is a staff bursary fund, which supports the education of employees and their children WITH UP TO RANDS (around $1,000) per year.

The bursary means a chance for families to put their chil-

dren in good schools.

The owners pay the school fees directly to the school, so they get sufficiently early.

While schooling is free in all South African government schools, some former â&#x20AC;&#x153;whites-onlyâ&#x20AC;? government s c h o o l s ( w h i c h a r e n ow open to all races by law) are administered by school boards that charge minimal fees for the maintenance of the schools and provisions of extramurals etc.

One of the security guards used the bursary to pay for studies to become a pastor.

Another employee used it for studies in tourism. They also have a provident fund, which is a retirement fund that the staff pay towards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is like an enforced saving which is theirs when they either leave or retire,â&#x20AC;?

One of the staff members suffered from tuberculosis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We never get rid of people if they are sick, we try to work around it instead,â&#x20AC;?

Harris explains.

The hostel has also implemented a number of ecofriendly practices: recycling, worm farms, water-wise shower, tap heads and solar panels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a company that comes every Monday to recycle our waste. The table scraps are put in a bin and used by a city farm nearby,â&#x20AC;? Harris says.

They only buy vegetables and fruits in season. Leftovers are packed and handed out to people in the street. The hostel is also actively involved in a range of social initiatives.

At the hostel, they let the staff

decide on the rules of the workplace, which are integrated into the employment contract.

The staff members travel long distances to work as they cannot afford to live in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It costs about 1,000 rands (around $70) a month to get to work and the government basic salary is 3,200 rands (around $200) so what can you do with that?

Dengvaxia, MRT-3, e-passports: The worst cases of corruption in PH history In just six years of the Yellow regime, undertaken were the worst and most despicable cases of corruption in Philippine history. The Yellowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; villain Ferdinand Marcos ruled for 20 years, 13 of that with absolute powers.

Yet not a single case of corruption on the scale of these three during Benigno Aquino 3rdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration has been proven, nor really even charged.

The so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;coco levy fund scamâ&#x20AC;?? (Wikipedia entry.) The P83 billion fund is intact, its aim to modernize the coconut industry aborted, and the money is now kept in the National Treasury, its disposition awaiting a law to be passed by Congress.

The Bataan Nuclear Power plant commissions? Incompetent or whatever, lawyers of two Aquino and the Ramos regimes, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the supposed broker and crony Herminio Disini convicted until he passed away in 2014.

In any case, the alleged $1-million commission he received is worth (acCOUNTING FOR INlATION JUST 0 MILlion today â&#x20AC;&#x201D; loose change compared TO THE 0 MILLION TO 0 BILLION REVENUES OF kRMS AND INDIVIDUALS THAT BENEkTED OR WILL BENEkT FROM THE THREE biggest corruption cases in Philippine history. And 20 years after the project was suspended, studies by several groups of experts have concluded that nothing was wrong in its design nor even its location. Some even think it makes sense to renovate it to operate in this era of dwindling oil reserves.

While there were huge amounts of money involved in these scams, it is not just this that makes these three cases of corruption during Aquinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watch the most abhorrent in our history It is also the fact that Aquino and his officials were so willing to risk the lives of more than a million Filipinos.

Filipinos, what makes this case of corruption so contemptible is the following: The passport is our ID to the world what we are a citizen of the Philippine Republic.

As Peter Locke comments, millennials â&#x20AC;&#x153;often value experiences over possessions.â&#x20AC;?

Alumni career mentoring and services.

University newsletters are also popular media to reach out to alumni to share news about their careers. Vanguard for instance, through its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Share Your Newsâ&#x20AC;? invites its alumni to: â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śhear from you and share your updates in our publications and on our website. Please let us know what is going on in your life.

Whether it is a personal accomplishment, a piece of news, or just keeping in touch, we enjoy hearing your stories and take pride in your successes.â&#x20AC;? <https://www. vfes.net/Page/318 >. Newsletters can also have a Job Opportunity Section (JOS) devoted to information on alumni support for the more recent graduates for job placements. A JOS enables universities to share â&#x20AC;&#x153;content on career opportunities that relate to programs undergone by the alumni through an alumni network where a university could itself be an integral part of an alumnusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career path.â&#x20AC;? The same section could reach out to those alumni occupying high valued positions. Considering their wealth of skills, experience and influence that attest to their success, these alumni could certainly help launch the careers of recent graduates. In addition, through JOS, these highly successful and well-placed alumni can be invited by their alma mater to share with current students through actual or virtual talks, support for work or job placements after graduation. To earlier alumni who may be seeking better placements, they can network through the JOS for some professional advice which could lead them to better but quite unknown opportunities in the labor market. There are other innovative ways to relate to alumni, other than the more common request for monetary donations or helping market oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alma mater.

Macmillan Lucman, DILGAutonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao provincial director for Lanao del Sur, said the SK special elections here were supposed to be held before March 31, 2019 as per its memorandum circular.

He said following the DILG memorandum, many provinces and cities in the country had already held SK special elections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when the Comelec legal department issued a Memo for the Comelec en banc to declare DILG Memo Circular 2018-277

Regions WVisayas poll bets warned vs hiring rebels, armed men B FRIDAY February 8, 2019

BY EUGENE Y. ADIONGÂ

!#/,/$ #)49 4HE 0OLICE 2EGIONAL /FkCE 6 (PRO-6) warned politicians in Western Visayas running in the May 13 midterm elections to refrain from getting the services of rebels and private armed groups (PAGs) to ensure the peaceful conduct of polls.

Chief Supt. John Bulalacao, PRO-6 director, said he had a list of names of these local candidates but refused to reveal them as they were still validating these. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting the services of rebels

and PAGs is a form of cheating.

We are warning these candidates to stop their nefarious activities,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Bulalacao said local candidates would likely use rebels and PAGs to intimidate voters and their op-

ponents, but warned they would use the full force of law against these candidates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage the public to expose these candidates.

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve a seat in our government,â&#x20AC;? Bulalacao pointed out.

Security measures, including checkpoints and enforcement of the gun ban, have been in effect since the election period began on January 13 for the elections.

Bulalacao added that PRO-6 was also receiving intelligence reports that rebels, particularly the New Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Army (NPA), have sent letters to several politicians

A7

offering their services.

The rebels have set their rates from P100,000 to P500,000 for their services, Bulalacao said.

Col. Alberto Desoyo of the 301st Infantry Brigade said the letters were from the NPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Central Front Committee.

He said it was intensifying its operations in areas across the region where rebel presence was reported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our men are deployed to hinterland barangay (villages) for military operations to monitor movement of rebels and conduct offensive operations to neutralize them,â&#x20AC;? Desoyo added.

ASG in kidnappings killed in Tawi-Tawi ZAMBOANGA CITY: An Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) bandit linked to the spate of ransom kidnappings in Sabah, Malaysia and the Philippines was killed in a shootout with security forces at a checkpoint in Tawi-Tawi on Thursday.

Officials said Shaifful Julaili ENGAGED TROOPS IN A kREkGHT WHILE TRYING TO lEE THE CHECKPOINT IN Barangay Lapid-Lapid in the capital town of Bongao. There was no report of casualties on the side of security forces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Abu Sayyaf, Shaifful Jalaili, violently escaped the checkpoint AND kRED AT GOVERNMENT TROOPS

which prompted them to retaliate and killed him,â&#x20AC;? Rear Admiral Rene Medina, chief of the Naval Forces in Western Mindanao, said.

Jalaili was reportedly involved in the series of kidnapping activities in Sulu Sea, particularly in the boundaries of Tawi-Tawi and Sabah.

Medina said the slain bandit was also implicated in the recent KIDNAPPINGS OF )NDONESIAN kSHERmen off Sabah, but it was not immediately known whether Jalaili and his pro-Islamic State (IS) group were planning to launch new kidnappings in the area.

Security forces have put up roadblocks and checkpoints in many areas in Tawi-Tawi as part

OF AN INTENSIkED CAMPAIGN AGAINST lawlessness.

4ROOPS ARE BATTLING !3' kGHTers in the neighboring province of Sulu where a pair of suicide bombers attacked a cathedral in Jolo on January 27, killing at least 21 people and wounding nearly 100. The IS claimed responsibility for the deadly bombings and President Rodrigo Duterte, quoting intelligence reports, said an Indonesian couple was behind the attacks.

Five local men linked by authorities to the twin attacks have surrendered recently to deny the accusations against them, but criminal CHARGES WERE kLED AGAINST THEM AFTER government prosecutors said they have â&#x20AC;&#x153;more than enoughâ&#x20AC;? evidence to indict the suspects.

But ASG leader Hajan Sawadjaan, who is also the emir of IS in the Philippines, and several other bandits also tied to the attacks, are still at-large and being hunted down by soldiers and police commandos.

Duterte, who inspected the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral a day after the bombings, ordered security forces to destroy the ASG, whose leaders pledged allegiance TO THE )3 AND VOWED TO kGHT FOR the establishment of a caliphate in the restive region. AL JACINTO

Go vows to improve healthcare services delivery TARLAC: Former special assistant to the President (SAP) and aspiring senator Christopher Lawrence â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bongâ&#x20AC;? Go on Wednesday reiterated his intention of serving the Filipino people via improvements on the delivery of healthcare services in the country.

Go said this during the launching of the Malasakit Center at the Tarlac Provincial Hospital in Tarlac

City where he was the guest.

The Malasakit Center in Tarlac City is the 9th in Luzon and the 23rd in operation in the country.

Go, a long-time ally of President Rodrigo Duterte, had always wanted to improve how quality healthcare can be more accessible to indigent patients.

He noted how public hospitals were usually overcrowded, with

patients being made to stay outside hospital wards due to lack of proper hospital beds to accommodate them.

The former SAP added that no requirements were needed for poor patients to enjoy the Malasakit Center services as every Filipino is entitled to the program.

Go was tasked by Duterte to lead the establishment of Mala-

sakit Centers in the countryside with an initial budget allocation of P50 million coming from the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socio-civic fund.

Aside from addressing healthcare concerns of the country, Go also reaffirmed his support of THE $UTERTE ADMINISTRATION S kGHT against illegal drugs, crime and corruption.

AN 6ALLEY WHICH IS AFkLIATED WITH the Peasant Movement of the Philippines, criticized the Philippine National Police (PNP) for immediately relieving Nueva Vizcaya POLICE OFkCIALS ALLEGEDLY BECAUSE OF investigation lapses.

Senior Supt. Jeremias Aglugub, Nueva Vizcaya police director, and Chief Insp. Geovanni Cejes, Aritao town police chief, were ordered relieved by PNP Director Oscar Albayalde for â&#x20AC;&#x153;mishandling vital pieces of evidence on the case.â&#x20AC;?

4OP POLICE OFkCIALS EVEN BLAMED Cejes for allowing the release of several pieces of evidence, including Malayaoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cellphone, which police said could have contained

information that might facilitate the ongoing investigation.

But Danggayan said the relieved officers were â&#x20AC;&#x153;honorable PNP OFkCIALS WHO UPHELD THE RULE OF law by turning over the personal belongings of the murdered peace consultant to his family.â&#x20AC;?

Danggayan also described the recent numerous media releases CONTAINING UNVERIkED INFORMATION by the Police Regional Office 2 (PRO2) headed by Chief Supt. Jose Mario Espino, as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the lowest of low in government tactics to justify its murder of peace activists.â&#x20AC;?

One of the complainants, Jun Lopez, 64, of Balanga City said Matic approached him sometime in 2007 and introduced herself to be in gasoline business and loaned a total of P1.850 million.

Other victims complained to have invested big amount of money supposedly to purchase vans as rental business through the suspect.

Ejercito seeks expansion of PITX shuttle service SEN. Joseph Victor â&#x20AC;&#x153;JVâ&#x20AC;? Ejercito lauded the decision of the private operator of the ParaĂąaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) to provide free shuttle service near the Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a positive response to the clamor for a better PITX operation. This is a big relief to passengers who find the

PITX now not commuter-friendly,â&#x20AC;? Ejercito said in a statement.

He was reacting to reports that PITX would offer free shuttle service from a designated loading area near MOA Arena to the terminal from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on weekdays.

However, Ejercito reiterated his proposal

to PITX to expand its free shuttle service and designate loading areas in various business districts in Metro Manila, including Makati, Ortigas and Bonifacio Global City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why only in MOA? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expand the shuttle service to other areas. There are also many commuters from other areas who use the PITX daily,â&#x20AC;? he said.

excavators depositing sand over an area of approximately eight acres, or more than 32,000 square meters, to the north of the existing causeway,â&#x20AC;? the AMTI said.

Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, meanwhile, said Manila is only after a beaching ramp, disputing AMTIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next is the concreting of the runway. [Third] phase is the lengthening of the runway which will entail the reclamation of about 300 meters,â&#x20AC;? Lorenzana told reporters in a text message.

The AMTI recalled that the Defense chief previously announced that the government plans to CONSTRUCT A kSH PORT DESALINATION plant, solar power array, improved housing and marine research facilities in Pag-asa.

The construction, it added, was â&#x20AC;&#x153;much less destructive to the environment surrounding the Pag-asa island, compared to the actions being done by China in some of its claimed isles in the Spratly archipelago or the Kalayaan Island Group.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once completed, the Philippines will have created eight acres of reclaimed land in the Spratlys in recent years, compared to about 120 acres by Vietnam and 3,200

by China,â&#x20AC;? the AMTI said.

Satellite images dated Dec. 13 and 14, 2018 were also shown, indicating that a barge was anchored off the west coast of the island with excavators and bulldozer â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the process of depositing and grading sand to extend the small existing causeway to the edge of the reef.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This would allow ships with deeper drafts to deliver supplies directly onto the island, rather than the current process of OFlOADING ONTO SMALLER BOATS IN order to ferry supplies over the reef,â&#x20AC;? the AMTI report said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new construction started sometime in early to mid-December, as no apparent work is visible in imagery dated December 3,â&#x20AC;? it added.

Beijing, apparently bothered by the construction of the beaching

ramp at Pag-asa, has deployed a gLARGE lEETu OF ITS SHIPS COMING from Subi (Zamora) reef.

Subi reef is just over 12 nautical miles southwest of Pag-asa.

The reef is also claimed by China, which is building several military facilities and other constructions there.

The AMTI said Chinese ships include those coming from the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liberation Army-Navy (PLA-N) and the China Coast Guard (CCG), along with dozens OF kSHING VESSELS RANGING IN SIZES from 30 to 70 meters.

Such deployment made by China to Pag-asa is only part of its â&#x20AC;&#x153;cabbage strategy,â&#x20AC;? employING CONCENTRIC LAYERS OF kSHING

law enforcement and naval vessels around the contested areas, mostly in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea).

Last month, Lorenzana said the fishing vessels were obviously carrying militiamen of the Chinese Navy.

Since July 2018, in response to Manilaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kicking off the runway repairs, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;handfulâ&#x20AC;? of Chinese vessels have been operating between Subi reef and Pag-asa island.

The AMTI noted that compared to July, an increase of Chinese vessels to at least 24 was noticed on December 3, â&#x20AC;&#x153;just before the current construction operations began.â&#x20AC;?

But in five satellite images released by AMTI captured from the middle of December to late January, the number of Chinese VESSELS lUCTUATE u REACHING A HIGH of 95 on December 20 and dropping to 42 on January 26.

Two Chinese vessels were also visible from the satellite images taken on December 20.

These ships are PLA-Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Type 053H1G (Jianghu V-class) frigate and a CCG Type 818 (Zhaodianclass) cutter.

Also, the Philippine Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BRP Ramon Alcaraz was also seen southwest of Pag-asa just over 7 nautical miles from the Chinese Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ships.

On the January 11 imagery, two ships from the Chinese Navy and coast guard were seen near Pag-asa and on January 26, it showed only the presence of the CCGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Type 718B. DEMPSEY REYES

Lanao del Norte votes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Noâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; affairs office of Lanao del Norte on the province-wide plebiscite on Wednesday showed that 157,138 voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noâ&#x20AC;? while 72,543 voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes.â&#x20AC;?

On Wednesday, the six towns of Balo-i, Munai, Nunungan, Pantar, Tagoloan and Tangkal in Lanao del Norte voted on whether or not they would join the new Bangsamoro region.

Voters in other Lanao del Norte towns, except Iligan City, voted on whether to allow the six towns to join the Bangsamoro or not.

The breakdown of votes was as follows: Bacolod: Yes - 1,447, No - 8,074; Baloi: Yes - 8,663, No - 3,023; Baroy: Yes - 264, No - 11,758; Kapatagan: Yes - 791, No - 20,893; Kauswagan: Yes - 2,348, No - 6,791; Kolambogan: Yes - 1,210, No - 9,623; Lala: Yes - 1,173, No - 28,507; Linamon: Yes - 1,550, No - 12,000; Magsaysay: Yes - 2,286, No - 3,183; Maigo: Yes - 3,724, No - 4,455; Matungao: Yes - 1,420, No - 1,667; Munai: Yes - 10,614, No - 4; Nunungan: Yes - 1,802, No - 1,039; Pantao-Ragat: Yes - 9,166, No - 0; Pantar: Yes - 7,751, No - 291; Poona-Piagapo: Yes - 5,246, No - 317; Salvador: Yes - 11,366, No - 280; Sapad: Yes - 987, No - 5,520; Sultan Naga Dimaporo: Yes - 550, No 24,452; Tagoloan: Yes - 2,760, No - 1,975; Tangkal: Yes - 5,927, No - 0; Tubod: Yes - 803, No - 19,171.

In North Cotabato, voters in 67 villages were asked if they wish to join the expanded autonomous region, while voters in the mother towns where these 67 villages belong to were asked if they would allow these villages to join the new Bangsamoro autonomous entity.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? votes won in 21 of 67 villages, acCORDING TO PARTIAL AND UNOFkCIAL COUNTS The towns and villages had petitioned to be part of the BARMM under the Bangsamoro Organic Law passed last year.

Even if the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? vote won in these localities, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;double majorityâ&#x20AC;? of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? votes is needed FOR A PLACE TO BE OFkCIALLY DECLARED PART OF THE BARMM, Commission on Elections (Comelec) spokesman James Jimenez explained.

For instance, voters in the town of Midsayap had to answer a total of 13 questions, corresponding to the inclusion or non-inclusion to the BARMM of 13 villages or barangay.

For barangay to be included, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? votes must win at the municipal level and in the barangay concerned.

The same rule applies to Lanao del Norte, where â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? votes must win in both the municipal and provincial levels.

National canvassing on Monday On January 21, the existing Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao voted in favor of the Bangsamoro region. Cotabato City residents agreed to join the new region, while Isabela City in Basilan voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noâ&#x20AC;? even as the rest of the province voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes.â&#x20AC;?

The Comelec, sitting as the National Plebiscite Board of Canvassers (NPBC), convened on Thursday for the canvassing of votes in the just-concluded second plebiscite in Lanao del Norte and North Cotabato.

Comelec Chairman Sheriff Abbas, however, adjourned the session because of the unavailABILITY OF CERTIkCATES OF CANVASS #/#S FROM the plebiscite areas.

Jimenez said the NPBC would reconvene on Monday, adding that COCs were expected to start arriving during the weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect arrival during the weekend. The reception committee will safeguard the security of COCs that will arrive,â&#x20AC;? he added. #ANVASSING WOULD BE kNISHED IN FOUR DAYS

he said.

Reports from the Comelec regional command center said that in Lanao del Norte, 13 out of 22 COCs have been forwarded to the provincial plebiscite board of canvassers for canvassing.

In North Cotabato, provincial canvassing was 90 percent completed, with votes from the towns of Pigcayan, Aleosan, Carmen and Tulunan.

Still to be submitted were ballots from the towns of Midsayap, Pikit and Kabacan. Comelec placed the voter turnout at 54 percent.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The review will be an inclusive process,â&#x20AC;? Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi earlier said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will ask the ECs to identify their main challenges and work with them in determining long-term and sustainable solutions.

For transparency purposes, the results of the review will be made available to the public.â&#x20AC;?

The DoE has since then assured it would practice objectivity in the assessment of all ECs to identify the challenges that beset some of the troubled cooperatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be due process for all ECs. Our priority is to address the root causes of their problems and help in their rehabilitation so they may provide the quality of services consumers in their franchise areas truly deserve,â&#x20AC;? Cusi said in a statement. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;for those [with] extremely dire cases, the government

could no longer ignore the negative impact on citizens.â&#x20AC;?

Last month, the Energy chief recommended that 17 power co-ops be stripped of their franchises in a letter to House Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

The move irked an industry group, which described it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;unjustâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This unjust and biased recommendation was done without prior consultation with the concerned electric cooperatives,â&#x20AC;? the Philippine Rural Electric Cooperatives Association (Philreca) said in a statement on Saturday.

The DoE has already withdrawn the recommendation as it â&#x20AC;&#x153;sees the need to further evaluate and assess the present status and performance of the 17 electric cooperatives,â&#x20AC;? Energy Undersecretary Felix William Fuentebella has said.

Building SME lending competencies A FINEX FILES

S of June 2018, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reports that 155 banks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; out of 581 head OFkCES m HAVE TAPPED BRANCH lite units to expand physical outREACH IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS (LGUs), of which 151 LGUs were BEING SERVED BY BRANCH LITES ALONE "RANCH LITES HAVE LIMITED BANKING ACTIVITIES BUT COULD PROVIDE A WIDE RANGE OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES SUITED FOR SERVICING THE NEEDS OF THE MARKET

except for sophisticated clients with AGGRESSIVE RISK TOLERANCE 4HESE branch-lites were formerly referred TO AS EXTENSION OFkCES MICROBANKING OFkCES AND OTHER BANKING OFkCES The report said about 66.3 percent of all municipalities now HAVE BANKING PRESENCE WITH PERCENT OF MUNICIPALITIES HAVING AT LEAST ONE kNANCIAL SERVICE ACCESS point. Still, only 47.9 percent of &ILIPINO ADULTS HAVE SAVINGS BUT PERCENT STILL KEEP THEIR SAVINGS in informal channels.

The BSP is optimistic this number will grow with the increase in branch-lites as they aim to use â&#x20AC;&#x153;the National Strategy for Financial )NCLUSION .3&) TO FULLY DEVELOP the financing ecosystem for agriculture and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSME) kNANCING u 4HIS DEVELOPMENT IS INDEED encouraging because the establishMENT OF BRANCH LITES GIVES BANKS THE lEXIBILITY TO CONSIDER THE APpropriate infrastructure necessary TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE AREA WHERE THEY ARE PRESENT 4HIS IS A POSITIVE MOVE TO EXPAND THE DELIVERY INfrastructure for the inclusion goal.

In this authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s VIEW MANY OF THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE doing MSME lending are still using either corporate banking lending models or consumer lending methODOLOGIES TO A SECTOR THAT DESERVES A different tool kit and mindset. There IS A DIRE NEED TO PROVIDE FOCUSED

Okada to appeal Tokyo court ruling THE camp of Japanese tycoon Kazuo Okada will contest a ruling by a Tokyo tribunal that ended his attempt to regain control of companies he founded.

In an emailed statement on Thursday, Okada said his daughter Hiromi planned to appeal that decision, made in connection to a complaint filed by his son Tomohiro over a 30-year trust agreement that led to Kazuoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ouster as director of Okada Holdings Ltd. The holding firm owns a 67.9-percent stake in Japan-listed Universal Entertainment Corp. (UEC), the parent company of Tiger Resort Asia Ltd., which owns Okada Manila resort operator Tiger Resort Leisure and Entertainment Inc. In its January 25 ruling, the Tokyo District Court reportedly confirmed the validity of the deal signed by Hiromi and Tomohiro in 2017 that allowed the latter to fully control Okada Holdings and remove Kazuo.

Tomohiro filed a case in the Japanese capital to confirm the agreementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s validity, but Hiromi challenged it, saying her brother deceived her into signing it.

She also filed civil and criminal cases in Hong Kong to help her father regain control of Okada Holdings and its subsidiaries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Until the decision becomes final, the fight is not yet over and Kazuo Okada remains in control of â&#x20AC;Ś UEC as 99-percent owner ofâ&#x20AC;? Okada Holdings, Kazuo said through his lawyers.

He also slammed the planned change of Okada Manilaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corporate name, as well as its backdoor listing through Asiabest Group International Inc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was not consulted at all in that transaction and he will file cases against those responsible for the backdoor listing,â&#x20AC;?

Kazuoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers said.

Asiabest announced on Monday that Tiger Resort Asia now owned 67-percent of its stake following a successful crossing of shares with stockholders that day amounting to P646.5 million.

This share-crossing paved the way for Okada Manilaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backdoor listing on the Philippine Stock Exchange.

The net profit, IMI said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;includes non-operating items, such as net gain on the sale of a China entity and reversal of contingent consideration related to STI acqui-

sition, partially offset by impairment of China goodwill, mark-tomarket losses on put options and other one-off transaction costs.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The effect of the [renminbi and euro] depreciation and higher interest rates also added downward pressure,â&#x20AC;? it added.

HONG KONG: Asian markets mostly rose Thursday as regional investors began to return from their Lunar New Year break, though Tokyo edged lower after a negative lead from Wall Street.

Most trading floors have re-opened but business remains light, with Hong Kong and Shanghai still closed, while focus turns on the resumption next week of China-US trade talks in Beijing.

The two sides will try to hammer out a deal to resolve their long-running tariffs row, with markets broadly hopeful just three weeks before a deadline that will see the US more than double levies on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of Chinese goods.

Donald Trump has said he plans to meet his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping before the end of the month to put the finishing touches to any deal, which would be in both countriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interest as the global economy begins to wobble.

Sydney climbed more than one percent and Wellington put on 0.7 percent with investors cheered by the prospect of an extended period of low interest rates.

Seoul edged up 0.1 percent and Singapore put on 0.8 percent with Manila and Jakarta also well up.

However, Tokyo fell 0.6 percent despite a near 18 percent surge in SoftBank, its biggest rise in a decade, fuelled by news of a $5.5 billion share buyback using cash from last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s listing of its mobile phone unit.

On currency markets the New Zealand dollar tanked more than one percent on the back of weak jobs data,

while the Australian dollar extended Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sell-off that was fuelled by comments from the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top central banker hinting interest rates would not rise any time soon.

Analysts pointed to their correlation to Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, which is stuttering at the moment, uncertainty on Wall Street and nervousness ahead of the trade talks.

Dealers are also looking ahead to the Bank of Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest policy meeting later in the day, which comes as the government struggles to push through its Brexit plan and concerns build that the country will leave the EU without a deal on March 29.

It also follows a number of dovish statements from central banks around the world as their boards grow increasingly worried about the global economic outlook.

BoE boss Mark Carney â&#x20AC;&#x153;has been quite vocally Brexitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angel of Death and an uber-dove for quite some time, but with central banks shifting policy stance around the world, tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BoE rate decision and Carneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missives could have a real impact on the poundâ&#x20AC;?, said OANDA senior market analyst Jeffrey Halley.

The pound has weakened more than two percent against the greenback in the past 12 days as investors grow increasingly worried about a so-called hard Brexit.

Prime Minister Theresa May was headed to Brussels Thursday in a bid to alter her deal with the EU, but most observers say she has very little chance of success.

AgriBusiness Hyrbid rice producers score seed tariff proposal B6

FRIDAY February 8, 2019

EDITOR: Conrad M. CariĂąo

BY EIREENE JAIREE GOMEZ

T

HE countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rice producers, particularly those from the hybrid rice industry, on Monday expressed grave concern on the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to slap tariffs on seeds as one of the provisions of the yet-toBE SIGNED 2ICE 4ARIFkCATION ,AW During the stakeholders meetings of the rice industry in Quezon City, leading hybrid rice producer SL Agritech Corp. (SLAC) Senior Technical and Promotion Consultant Frisco Malabanan, PhD told reporters the measure would harm local rice production and farmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has a big impact [on] the farmers because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t locally produce all our seeds as we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a compact area in the Philippines [where we can plant and produce them],â&#x20AC;? Malabanan said, noting that the entire hybrid rice industry would be affected once the inbred and hybrid rice seeds would be slapped with tariffs.

4HE 2ICE 4ARIFkCATION ,AW STIPulated the replacement of import restrictions on rice with tariffs, lifting the quantitative restrictions on rice imports. It also mandates the National Food Authority (NFA) to buy its buffer stock from local farmers.

The proposed measure also seeks to create the Rice Comprehensive Enhancement Fund (RCEF) that earmarks P10 billion a year for six years to ensure that all duties collected from imported RICE WILL BENEkT LOCAL FARMERS The RCEF will be utilized to provide different forms of assistance to the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rice farmers, such as the development of â&#x20AC;&#x153;inbred

seedsâ&#x20AC;? and rice farm equipment, and skills enhancement.

Malabanan, however, stressed that the government â&#x20AC;&#x153;should include the production of hybrid rice because that is the latest technology that could help the farmers to boost their [yield], compete and prevent the death of palay [unmilled rice] production in our country.â&#x20AC;?

He pointed out that bulk of the P10-billion worth of support for the rice industry or some P5 billion should not be allocated entirely to the Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PHilMech) for farm mechanization, as farmers need more support on production inputs like seeds, fertilizers, and above all, farming literacy. /NCE RICE TARIFkCATION WILL BE implemented, Malabanan said that the tariff on seeds would range from 35 to 50 percent, driving away farmers from planting rice, especially hybrid varieties, which could even more hamper greater productivity.

(E RECOMMENDED THE IDENTIkcation of irrigated compact areas across the country where planting hybrid rice seeds would be doable to lessen importation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can plant [hybrid rice seeds] BUT WE CANNOT JUST kND COMPACT areas where we can produce these seeds,â&#x20AC;? Malabanan added.

At current production level, THE 0HILIPPINES ONLY NEEDS TO kLL the remaining 6 percent to be RICE SELF SUFkCIENT !CCORDING TO Malabanan, this would be made possible if the additional 1 to 1.5 million hectares will be planted with hybrid rice every year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping for the industry to for us to plant about 1.5 million hectares to hybrid rice in one year, which is the solution for US TO BE ;RICE= SELF SUFkCIENT AND so that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t depend to our neighboring countries for our food security,â&#x20AC;? Malabanan said.

Total harvest area in the country is currently at 4.5 million hectares, with some 600,000 hectares planted with hybrid rice seeds.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mang Beanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; products ready for commercialization PRODUCTS developed from mungbean (monggo) in Cagayan Valley (Region 2) developed by the Department of Agriculture-Cagayan Valley Research Center (DA-CVRC) are ready for commercialization.

Cagayan Valley is one of the top producers of mungbean in the Philippines, contributing about 24 percent to the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total output from 2012 to 2016, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority.

To further boost the mungbean industry in the region, the Department of Agriculture-Cagayan Valley Research Center (DA-CVRC) developed various products from mungbean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The development of better and improved mungbean food products can potentially increase mungbean consumption in the domestic market and improve regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitiveness in the export market,â&#x20AC;? said Vanessa Joy Calderon, project leader of the DA-CVRCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s High Value Crops Development Program-Legumes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The] DA-CVRC initiated the development of mungbean-based FOOD PRODUCTS IN ;7E= OFkcially launched the brand Mang Bean in San Mateo during their 10th Balatong Festival [on] May 9, 2018,â&#x20AC;? she added.

HAPPY RICE FARMER

Rizal De La Santa, proudly stands in the middle of his rice farm in Naujan, Oriental Mindoro, which he tends with the help of Rice Crop Manager (RCM). The RCM can increase the yields of palay (unmilled rice) by 1 ton per hectare. It is a mobile and computer application that allows extension workers to give farmers specific recommendation on nutrient, pest, weed or water management, depending on the specific variety they use; their yield from the previous season; and the site-specific conditions of their field.

RCM was launched by the Department of Agriculture in partnership with the International Rice Research Institute. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Searca food garden project helps achieve UN goals THE Philippine government-hosted Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (Searca) presented a paper in a conference in Japan on how its school-plushome gardens project (S+HGP) contributed to the United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the localities where the project was piloted.

3EARCA PRESENTED SPECIkC STRATegies to contribute to achieving targets of SDGs through its S+HGP at the 18th Science Council of Asia (SCA) Conference, held recently in Tokyo, Japan, to highlight research, innovations and programs that addresses the 2030 Agenda on SDGs across Asia. The SCA is the OFkCIAL BODY OF ALL SCIENCE ACADEmies in Asia.

The S+HGP aimed to improve the nutritional condition and dietary habits of school-aged children by increasing production of locally adapted vegetables through school and home gardening, and consequently contribute to the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food and nutrition security. It is co-implemented with the Department of Education (DepEd)-Laguna and University of the Philippines Los BaĂąos (UPLB).

In the paper â&#x20AC;&#x153;Addressing and Localizing SDGs through Grassroots-Based School-Plus-Home Gardens in the Philippinesâ&#x20AC;? presented by project leader and Searca adjunct fellow Blesilda Calub, PhD, Searca elaborated on how the S+HGP contributed to achieving at least four SDGs. For SDG 2 or Zero Hunger, the S+HGP showed that year-round production of diverse nutritious indigenous and common vegetables is possible by following a planting calendar.

For SDG 3, Good Health and Well-being, the promotion of organic agriculture in the S+HGP showed an alternative food production system respects natural

ecological processes and avoids using harmful synthetic farm chemicals that endangers the health of farmers, consumers, and the environment.

For SDG 4, Quality Education, local government units were mobilized to allocate funds for school gardening plus feeding programs to improve academic performance of school children and reduce absenteeism and early dropping-out from school.

For SDG 12, Responsible Consumption and Production, the program demonstrated that parents, teachers and students appreciated food produced through sustainable organic methods.

The school gardens were used as learning laboratories for teaching composting and responsible waste management, among others.

The SDGs are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all peoples of the world as agreed on by the UN General Assembly in 2015. They address the global challenges humanity faces, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice.

The goals interconnect and the aim is to achieve them by 2030.

Last year, Searca conducted a training of trainers on scaling up the school-plus-home gardens model in Southeast Asia. The training was designed to ensure that lessons learned from the pilot stage of the project in the Philippines are picked up, implemented, and sustained in other schools in Southeast Asia.

The training of trainers on school-plus-home gardens focused on the step-by-step process of establishing locally appropriate models in consideration of the unique context of the schools and communities in neighboring Southeast Asian countries. LEANDER C. DOMINGO

Reforming the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education system J

UST how relevant and responsive is the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current higher education system?

If we are to go by scores from the World Economic (WEF) for 2018, I can say that we really need to reform or reformulate higher education in the country to make it more relevant and responsive to our fast changing times, especially now that technology is accelerating change.

The WEF gave out scores for Health and Primary Education, Higher Education and Training, and Innovation and Sophistication for various Asian countries, including the Philippines. The highest score was 1 and the lowest 137.

For Health and Primary Education, the Philippines got a score of 82, 55 for Higher Education and Training, and 61 for Innovation and Sophistication. Not surprisingly, Singapore and Japan got very high scores. Singapore scored 3 for Health and Primary Education, 1 for Higher Education and Training, and 12 for Innovation and Sophistication.

Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scores were 7 for Health and Primary Education, 23 for Higher Education and Training, and

6 for Innovation and Sophistication.

The Philippines, however, did better in Health and Education compared to Thailand (90) and Indonesia (84). Also, the country did better in Higher Education and Training than Indonesia (64).

When it came to Innovation and Sophistication, the Philippines did not do better than Thailand (47) and Indonesia (31).

The scores from the WEF clearly demonstrate one thing: higher education needs to be reformed in the Philippines to also make it regionally and globally competitive. What is very clear from the WEF scores is sophistication and innovation are clearly linked with the quality of higher education.

So what is the way forward to this issue?

The way forward From Global University Network for Innovation, several steps were enumerated to reformulate higher education, which I believe are very applicable to the Philippine setting.

Let me discuss them one by one.

Perhaps this is the first time I discussed in a column a topic not entirely about agriculture, but I must state that it was my concern on the state of higher education related to agriculture that prompted me to

discuss what also needs to be done to reform HEIs in the Philippines.

Also, the average age of our farmers is between 56 to 60 years old, and there is still very little technological APPLICATION IN FARMS AND kSHERIES ) have discussed those issues extensively in past columns.

However, I commend the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) for advocating the establishment and transformation of HEIs into Centers of Excellence (COEs) and Centers of Development (COD), where the educational institutions go beyond FULkLLING THE BASIC REQUIREMENT OF educating people.

CHEd said a COE should be also be engaged in â&#x20AC;&#x153;instruction, research, creative work, publications, and extension for specific academic PROGRAMS u %VENTUALLY A BONAkDE COD transforms to a COE. From what I have seen in some HEIs in the Philippines, the race to become a COD and COE has already started. And I hope more HEIs join that race so they also become game changers for industry, including agriculture.

World Democrats continue probes vs Trump W

Ë&#x153; The Manila Times

FRIDAY February 8, 2019

w w w.manilatimes.net

ASHINGTON, D.C.: President Donald Trump warned Congress that investigations and legislation donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix.

But Speaker Nancy Pelosi said such threats have no place in the House, as unbowed Democrats charged ahead Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) with plans to probe Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax returns, business and ties to Russia.

The chairman of the intelligence committee, Rep. Adam Schiff, announced a broad new investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FOREIGN kNANCIAL INTERESTS /THER committeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; actions are well underway.

The day after the president es-

sentially laid out the ultimatum to Congress during his State of the Union address, Democrats appeared even more resolved to conduct oversight of his administration and legislate on their priorities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The president should not bring THREATS TO THE lOOR OF THE (OUSE u

Pelosi told reporters, rebuking Trump for saying during his address that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ridiculous partisan investigationsâ&#x20AC;? must end because they could harm the economy.

Pelosi said Congress has a responsibility to provide oversight, under the Constitutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s system of checks and balances, and would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;delinquentâ&#x20AC;? if it failed to do so.

Schiff indicated his committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigation will be sweeping. It will include â&#x20AC;&#x153;the scope and scaleâ&#x20AC;? of Russian intervention in the 2016 presidential election, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;extent of any links and/or coordinationâ&#x20AC;? between Russians and Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associates, whether foreign actors have sought to hold leverage over Trump or his family and associates,

and whether anyone has sought to obstruct any of the relevant investigations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do our jobs, and the president needs to do his,â&#x20AC;?

Schiff said, noting the probe will go beyond Russia to include leverage by the Saudis â&#x20AC;&#x153;or anyone else.â&#x20AC;?

Schiff said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our job involves making sure that the policy of the United States is being driven by the national interest, not by any kNANCIAL ENTANGLEMENT kNANCIAL leverage or other form of compromise.â&#x20AC;?

Trump immediately shot back, calling Schiff nothing but a â&#x20AC;&#x153;political hackâ&#x20AC;? who has â&#x20AC;&#x153;no basis to do that.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called presidential harass-

ment,â&#x20AC;? Trump said during an event at the White House as he announced his new pick to head the World Bank.

After eight years in the minority, House Democrats are releasing their bottled-up legislative energy at a time when Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual joint address to Congress lacked many new initiatives of his own.

The Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; agenda goes beyond oversight of Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration and Russian election interference to the bread-and-butter issues of jobs, health care and the economy that propelled them to the House majority. Pelosi said they still hope to work with the White House on shared priorities, particularly on lowering prescrip-

B7

tion drug costs and investing in infrastructure.

On Wednesday, one House committee held a hearing on gun violence. Two others gaveled in to address climate change. And three more were debating protecting people with pre-existing medical conditions and the Affordable Care Act. The Foreign Affairs Committee was debating the war in Yemen and a war powers resolution to halt US involvement in the Saudi-led coalition.

Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the chairman of the Oversight Committee, said Trump has to understand â&#x20AC;&#x153;that he has to be accountable.â&#x20AC;?

Cambodia to arrest Rainsy if he returns THE Cambodian General Immigration Department (GID) has ORDERED ITS OFkCIALS TO ARREST FORMER opposition leader Sam Rainsy should he return to the kingdom.

GID Director General Kirth Chantharith issued the order on Friday in accordance with three arrest warrants from Phnom Penh Municipal Court.

In the order, Chantharith said IMMIGRATION OFkCIALS AT AIRPORTS and international border checkpoints must be vigilant and take action should Rainsy arrive in the kingdom via land, air or sea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been some information that Mr Rainsy will return to the country,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to REMIND ALL POLICE OFkCIALS ESPECIALLY those stationed at international checkpoints, to take action immediately should he be spotted.â&#x20AC;?

Rainsy, who is in exile in France, has been telling former opposition supporters overseas that he would return to Cambodia at some point this year.

National Police chief General Neth Savoeun said Rainsy has created unlawful movements in the kingdom and attempted to create chaos by announcing his return.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must take action. There are three arrest warrants Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve obtained from court,â&#x20AC;? Savoeun said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All poLICE OFkCERS MUST BE READY TO ADDRESS this problem for our citizens.â&#x20AC;?

Savoeun said some former opposition party supporters posted statements on Facebook and videos on YouTube expressing their loyalty to Rainsy. He noted that these supporters should be closely monitored by authorities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can join any political party,â&#x20AC;? Savoeun said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cambodian National Rescue Party was dissolved by the Supreme Court, so the movement is completely illicit.â&#x20AC;?

GAS EXPLOSION BURNS 5 BUILDINGS

SAN FRANCISCO: A gas explosion in a San Francisco neighborhood shot flames into the air for hours Wednesday and burned five buildings, sending panicked residents and workers fleeing into the streets. It took utility crews more than two hours to put out the fire after private construction workers cut a natural gas line, igniting the towering flames, Fire chief Joanne Hayes-White said. Authorities initially said five workers were missing, but the entire construction crew was found safe, and no other injuries were reported. Officials evacuated several nearby buildings, including a medical clinic and apartment buildings, Hayes-White said.

Vehicles on a busy street got rerouted as authorities cordoned off the bustling retail and residential neighborhood. The fire damaged a building housing Hong Kong Lounge 2, a popular dim sum restaurant frequented by tourists and students at the University of San Francisco that made many â&#x20AC;&#x153;best ofâ&#x20AC;? lists.

MORE SEX ABUSE COMPLAINTS VS ARIAS SAN JOSE, Costa Rica: Two more women have accused former Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, a Nobel peace laureate, of sexual misconduct after a criminal complaint alleging sexual assault against another woman was filed against him this week in the Central American nation. Eleonora Antillon, a well-known Costa Rican journalist and TV presenter, told The Associated Press on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) that Arias assaulted her in the mid-1980s when she was working for his fledgling presidential bid. In a separate interview, Emma Daly, communications director for Human Rights Watch, said Arias groped her in a hotel lobby in Nicaragua in 1990 when she was working as a young journalist based in Costa Rica. The New York Times also reported that a fourth woman, a 53-year-old book editor, alleged that Arias unexpectedly put his hand on her leg during a meeting in 2012. AP was not immediately able to confirm the report.

QUEBEC MOSQUE ATTACKER SENTENCED FRIDAY QUEBEC CITY:Â Canadian Alexandre Bissonnette will be sentenced on Friday for killing six worshippers at the Quebec City mosque in January 2017 in the worst ever attack on Muslims in the West. The 29-year-old faces the prospect of life in prison if ordered to serve 25 years consecutively for each of the six murders for which he pleaded guilty. The prosecution has asked for a total of 150 years behind bars, which would be the harshest penalty ever handed down by a judge in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sentence must be just and fit this horrendous crime,â&#x20AC;?

Trump: IS out of Iraq, Syria next week Iran launches second satellite

WASHINGTON, D. C.: President Donald Trump predicted Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) that the Islamic State group will have lost by next week all the territory it once controlled in Iraq and Syria.

He said the US will not relent in kGHTING REMNANTS OF THE EXTREMIST organization despite his decision to withdraw US troops from Syria over the objections of some of his most senior national security advisers.

The president told representatives of a 79-member, US-led coalition kGHTING )3 THAT THE MILITANTS HELD A tiny percentage of the vast territory they claimed as their â&#x20AC;&#x153;caliphate.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be formally announced sometime, probably next week, that we will have 100 percent of the caliphate,â&#x20AC;? Trump said.

53 OFkCIALS HAVE SAID IN RECENT weeks that IS has lost 99.5 percent of its territory and is holding on to fewer than 5 square kilometers in Syria, or less than 2 square miles, in the villages of the Middle Euphrates River Valley, where the bulk of the

kGHTERS ARE CONCENTRATED But there are fears the impending US pullout will imperil those gains.

Trump told coalition members meeting at the State Department that while â&#x20AC;&#x153;remnantsâ&#x20AC;? of the group were still dangerous, he was determined to bring US troops home.

He called on coalition members to step up and do their â&#x20AC;&#x153;fair shareâ&#x20AC;? in THE kGHT AGAINST TERRORISM Even as Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo defended the withdrawal decision, which shocked US allies and led to the resignations of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and the US envoy to the anti-IS coalition, Brett McGurk, some military leaders, renewed their concerns.

While the withdrawal would fulkLL A 4RUMP GOAL TOP MILITARY OFkcials have pushed back for months, arguing IS remains a threat and could regroup. US policy had been to keep troops in place until the extremists are completely eradicated. &EARS THAT )3 kGHTERS ARE MAKING

a strategic maneuver to lay low ahead of the US pullout has fueled criticism that Trump telegraphed his military plans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the same thing he accused President Barack Obama of doing in Afghanistan.

Pompeo told the coalition that the planned withdrawal â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not a change in the missionâ&#x20AC;? but a change in tactics against a group that should still be considered a menace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this new era, local law enforcement and information sharing will be crucial, and our kGHT WILL NOT NECESSARILY ALWAYS be military-led,â&#x20AC;? he said. Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not the end of !MERICA S kGHT 4HE kGHT IS ONE that we will continue to wage alongside of you.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Army must shun politics, mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ISLAMABAD:Â Pakistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Supreme Court rebuked the powerful military and intelligence agencies Wednesday, calling for them to uphold free speech and stay out of politics in a country ruled by the generals for nearly half its existence.

The unusually strong criticism was issued in a judgement criticizing the role of the intelligence agencies in anti-blasphemy protests which paralyzed the capital Islamabad for several weeks in 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If any personnel of the Armed Forces indulges in any form of politicking or tries to manipulate the media he undermines the integrity and professionalism of the Armed Forces,â&#x20AC;? stated the judgement, posted on the Supreme Court website.

Pakistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constitution â&#x20AC;&#x153;emphatically prohibitsâ&#x20AC;? members of the armed forces from â&#x20AC;&#x153;engaging in any kind of political activity,â&#x20AC;? it added, ordering the government and the chiefs of the army, air force and navy to take action against

anyone found violating their oaths.

The 2017 protests were led by a then little-known Islamist group called the Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP), and were only dispersed after violent clashes led to a military-brokered deal which forced the resignation of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law minister.

Viral videos showing what appeared to be soldiers handing out cash to protesters fuelled speculation the demonstrators were backed by the military as it sought to put pressure on the then-ruling party of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.

The judges also criticized curbs on free speech, singling out the intelligence agencies for a stern warning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All intelligence agencies... and the (militaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s media wing) must not exceed their respective mandates. They cannot curtail the freedom of speech and expression,â&#x20AC;? the court said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those who resort to such tactics un-

der the mistaken belief that they serve some higher goal delude themselves.â&#x20AC;?

Local media have complained about pressure in the run-up to a general election last July to self-censor in favor of the eventual victor, cricketer-turnedprime-minister Imran Khan.

The Committee to Protect Journalists said in a report last year that the army had â&#x20AC;&#x153;quietly but effectively, set restrictions on reporting.â&#x20AC;?

Activists and bloggers speaking out against the state and the military have also complained of repression.

Earlier this week, some 20 activists with the Pashtun Protection Movement (PTM), a group critical of military policies, were arrested while demonstrating in Islamabad.

Most were transferred to a nearby prison, but the family of one, prominent activist Gulalai Ismail, voiced fears she had been forcibly disappeared. Police did not respond to requests for comment from AFP. AFP

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates: Iran appears to have attempted a second satellite launch despite US criticism that its space program helps it develop ballistic missiles, satellite images released Thursday suggest. Iran has not acknowledged conducting such a launch.

Images released by the Coloradobased company DigitalGlobe show a rocket at the Imam Khomeini Space Center in Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Semnan province on Tuesday. Images from Wednesday show the rocket was gone with what appears to be burn marks on its launch pad.

Iranian state media did not immediately report on the rocket launch, though such delays have happened in previous launches.

Iran has said it would launch its Doosti, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friendship,â&#x20AC;? satellite. A launch in January failed to put another satellite, Payam or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Message,â&#x20AC;? into orbit.

The United States alleges such launches defy a UN Security Council resolution calling on Iran to undertake no activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons.

Iran, which long has said it does not seek nuclear weapons, maintains its satellite launches and rocket tests do not have a military component. Tehran also says they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t violate a United Nations resolution that only â&#x20AC;&#x153;called uponâ&#x20AC;? it not to conduct such tests.

Over the past decade, Iran has sent several short-lived satellites into orbit and in 2013 launched a monkey into space.

Iran usually displays space achievements in February during the anniversary of its 1979 Islamic Revolution. This year will mark the 40th anniversary of the revolution amid Iran facing increasing pressure from the US under the administration of President Donald Trump.AP

Your theme, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Innovating Business for a Better Tomorrowâ&#x20AC;?, is highly relevant in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever changing financial landscape.

Likewise, we reaffirm our continuing partnership with the FINEX towards a shared goal of ensuring that our banking and finance professionals will have the necessary skill sets to proactively respond to demands of modern banking and finance.

I wish the FINEX leadership all the success in its endeavors.

Mabuhay po kayo!

It has been a learning organization, keeping its membership abreast with the latest developments in financial management. When situations so demand, FIN EX did not shirk from the responsibility to speak out as concerned citizens on the relevant issues of the day.

I am happy that you have chosen the theme: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Innovating Businesses for a Better Tomorrowâ&#x20AC;? for your 51st anniversary. I hope this will heighten awareness over the emerging opportunities in Green Financing as well as the rapid advances in finance technology that will require serious rethinking of existing business models.

FINEX is best positioned to lead in the discussion of changes in the business culture and the technologydriven environment that will cause the reinvention of many enterprises.

RUSTIC REPAST Sammy’s Restaurant

If you should ever find yourself in the far end of rustic Rizal, drop in on this culinary find called Sammy’s Restaurant. Jakarta residents for 17 years, its owners Sammy and Dorothy Isidro came home in April of last year to settle down. As a child, the restaurant’s namesake, Sammy, was always interested in cooking, taking up culinary courses along the way.

Inspired by the food they tasted during their travels, opening up their own restaurant seemed like the natural next step upon returning.

Sammy’s offers a hearty breakfast menu, featuring the chef’s own favorite brekkie picks—Sammy’s Breakfast includes tapa, tocino, longganiza, danggit, garlic fried rice and omelet. Sammy’s wifemanager, Dorothy, has her name on the menu under D’s Breakfast consisting of bacon, ham, sausage, hash brown, pancakes and fried eggs. If you are planning to try out their dinner menu, eat very little beforehand as you’ll want to chomp on their unbelievably tender 5-Hour Pork Belly, accompanied by one of three choices: Sammy’s Sinilog, Bao Bun in Aioli Sauce or Laing and White Rice. Another must-try is the Indonesian “Konro” (Braised Beef Ribs), with nasih puti (Bahasa for white rice). Starters include Chicken Buffalo Wings and Cheesy Nachos.

What makes Sammy’s unique is the dinner entertainment.

Familiar with the singing waiters of Roxas Boulevard? Sammy’s has its very own singing chef—Sammy, himself. The dining experience is further enhanced by the interiors: a towering wall of glass panes, industrial pipe walls lamps and uniquely designed clocks—most of these dreamed up by the chef since he studied Practical Electricity in the past.

Sammy’s Restaurant is located at 14 Raspberry Bend St., Valley View Executive Subdivision, Phase 3 Cainta, Rizal. A special menu is available for Valentine’s.

Call +63 939 148 3960 to book.

TWO IN ONE Obemio-Reyes Exhibit

Inspired by a love cruise around Capri, Portofino and Stromboli, the brand’s Valentine’s Day Collection, is feminine and modern as reflected in a palette of soft nudes and pinks. Lifelong Bow’s crystal pavé exudes elegance with sleek lines with interlocking metallic tones. One offers a range of stackable rings, adjustable necklaces and chokers in millennium pink with crystal pavé. Crystalline Glam features a watch, the dial of which is dotted with 800 Swarovski crystals and a glittery heart-shaped Lovely bracelet.

Roel Obemio and Omi Reyes are holding the two-man exhibit, Affinity that’s literally a joint event. Obemio, known for his Botoero-esque figures and Reyes, who made his mark with a fascination for machines, collaborate on works that fuse their styles without compromising their identities. The result is a collection of pieces that “end up being greater than the sum of their individual parts,” according to art reviewer Cid Reyes. Paint and relief sculpture merge Obemio’s liking for masterpieces like Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss and Grant Wood’s American Gothic with Reyes’ whirring cogs, gears and other spare parts to create over-all whimsy.

Swarovski is available in Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La and Rustan’s Ayala Cebu.

Affinity runs until February 28 at Solaire Resort & Casino.

Q Antonio B. Capati FROM C1

Twinning archipelagos “learn from the interaction with Indonesian students and use the experience to promote peace and development in their communities.” He later went on to visit Bunga Matahatari International School and Syiah Kuala University in Banda Aceh and Sekolah Sukma Bangsa in Pidie, meanwhile expressing hope that the Memorandum of Understanding on Basic and Secondary Education as well as the Letter of Intent on Islamic Education Cooperation signed by the two countries in 2018 would lead to more student exchanges and meaningful collaboration.

The three schools—Bunga Mahatari International School, Syiah Kuala University and Sekolah Sukma Bangsa–have deepened relations between the Philippines and Indonesia through training and learning. Bunga Mahatari, built after the devastating tsunami in 2004, was founded by Victoria Gelbolingo, a native of Pampanga. Today, 14 years after, she continues to manage the school.

Syiah Kuala, the premier university in Aceh with nearly 30,000 students, has benefited from scholarships which brought nearly 25 of its senior faculty members to the Philippines for studies in the 1980s.

Adds Capati: “Our 70-year trade relationship continues to remain strong. We have seen the growth of Philippine investment over the years enter Indonesia through energy, fast moving consumer goods and services in the form of our talented Filipino professionals holding key positions in big enterprise.

“Indonesia also now sees the Philippines as a growth market for their products.”

BEFORE YOU VENTURE Antonio B. Capati has a few but vital reminders for Filipino businessmen keen on trying their luck in our southern neighbor. Best to be prepared before that leap.

Q Finding the right local partner should be the priority. I’ve seen a few Filipino invesments that failed because they didn’t have the same vision as their counterparts.

Q Having a local partner makes it a lot easier to comply with local laws.

Q Filipino investors should also understand the cultural traditions of their potential principals. Each province has its own unique traits and characteristics, which may be different from Jakarta’s.

Q Understanding and complying with Indonesian Government regulations is critical for the success of a foreign-owned company.

Interesting Indonesia Relying on the World Bank’s Doing Business 2016, trends indicate that Indonesia ranks 109 out of 189 Economies, an 11 point jump from 2015 ranking of 120. This is caused by a number of positive reforms and updates in the country’s regulatory system for business start-ups.

Indonesia gained interest from

Over the years trade and business relations have flourished between Philippines and Indonesia, yet there is still plenty of room and an abundant number of avenues in which Filipinos can tap into the Indonesian market in order to move its export value at par with levels of Philippine importations from Indonesia. Opportunities range from agriculture products, franchising to infrastructure and real estate development.

Capati strongly suggests Filipino businessmen enter the food service sector “as mahilig kumain ang mga Indonesians (they love to eat).”

He suggests the same tactic for their Indonesian counterparts as Filipinos boast a culture based on meals. The Philippines’ buoyant economy in recent years has not escaped the attention of Indonesian investors, particularly the mining industry, but a string government regulations hamper a more aggressive entry. “Indonesians have money to invest and our increased spending power has attracted their interest,” observes Capati.

While Filipinos and Indonesians share a Malay heritage–remember, a pre-historic Philippines was heavily influenced by the Sri-Vijaya Empire, now modern-day Indonesia–they still have different ways of conducting business. Capati remarks: “Managing business is the same, but different in terms of their culture. Indonesians tend to be more forthcoming and willing to explore opportunities, taking risks and being quick in the decision making process.”

He cautions eager beavers of any nationality from thinking it is a walk in the park to set up shop in Indonesia. He cannot stress enough the importance of finding the right local partner. “I’ve seen a few Filipino investments that failed because they didn’t have the same vision as their counterparts.

Going with a local partner, who shares the same orientation, makes it a lot easier to comply with local regulations.

He also instructs outsiders to try to understand and absorb the cultural traditions as quickly as possible, reminding them that each province–the nation has 34–boasts its own unique traits and characteristics, which may be different from Jakarta’s.

Finally, he says, “Complying with Indonesian Government regulations is critical for the success of a foreignowned company.”

As Country Head of PT Manila Water Indonesia, a subsidiary of the Ayala Corporation, Capati visits Manila regularly, keeping abreast with the vagaries of the political and economic scene. This, he puts to good use when consulted by potential investors.

Capati’s family is based in Canada, but he prefers the life in Asia, particularly in his adopted home of 25 years, Indonesia. He says: “It’s a paradise of diverse cultures and traditions, provided by its provinces.

“Main cities offer all the modern conveniences of developed countries such as modern buildings, designer stores and brands and luxury cars.

And its infrastructure continues to expand. Indonesians are very friendly people who love to entertain, enjoy fine dining and are proud of their culture, fashion and sports.”

With his foot in two archipelagos, two cultures, two lifestyles and rich experiences provided by being a dual citizen, Antonio B. Capati is indeed a lucky man.

Warriors thump Spurs, Harden extends scoring streak

www.manilatimes.net

L

OS ANGELES: The Golden State Warriors eased to the top of the Western Conference on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila), outclassing an under-strength San Antonio Spurs to score a comprehensive 141-102 win at the Oracle Arena.

San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich rested star players LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan citing â&#x20AC;&#x153;load managementâ&#x20AC;?, and could only watch as the powerful Warriors romped away with an emphatic win.

The reigning NBA champions startED WITH kVE ."! !LL 3TARS IN THEIR LINE up -- Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, DeMarcus Cousins, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry -- and had opened up a 66-52 lead at half time.

An explosive third quarter saw the Warriors outscore their opponents by 49-31 to make the fourth quarter a formality.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr was SATISkED AT THE RUTHLESS STREAK SHOWN by his side against their depleted Q Golden State Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; DeMarcus Cousins (right) shoots against San Antonio Spursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Drew Eubanks during the second half opponents. of an NBA basketball game in Oakland, Calif. AP PHOTO â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reality kind of set in terms of the talent disparity with their guys being out,â&#x20AC;? Kerr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kind of wore them down. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important on a night like tonight, when you know that the other ANNY PACQUIAO un-

M

No longer â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hornyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

derstandably sounded a bit peeved when former tormentor Jeff â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hornetâ&#x20AC;? Horn recently challenged him to a rematch of their controversial July 2017 match in Brisbane.

Pacquiao shot down with a verbal Uzi Hornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pronouncement that he is ready to face the Filipino ring icon in a rematch as early as May. Pacquiao claimed he wanted an immediate rematch with Horn AFTER THEIR kRST MEETING BUT THE Australianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s camp didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it. Horn denied turning down any proposed rematch with Pacquiao, but just the same the Pacman expressed no interest in a return bout.

Truth be told, Pacquiaoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time in the punch-for-pay business is already winding down and the last thing he wants is to be embroiled in a meaningless rematch with Horn.

There is really no pressure on the part of Pacquiao to face Horn again considering that HE WON THE kRST kGHT AND WAS only robbed by the judges.

It is Horn who is under pressure to lure Pacquiao back in the ring because his career needs a major boost following the technical knockout loss he suffered to Terence Crawford last year. Horn won the WBO welterweight title with the upset win over Pacquiao but held the belt for less than a year as he was eventually bludgeoned

BOXER SHORTS ED TOLENTINO in nine rounds by Crawford.

Horn (19-1, 1 draw with 13 knockouts) is trying to pull all stops to convince 0ACQUIAO TO kGHT HIM AGAIN He bragged about giving Pacquiao a tougher time in the ring should they meet again.

From where this writer sits, there is another reason why a Pacquiao-Horn rematch cannot be made and it has to with a legal imbroglio.

It will be recalled that Pacquiao found himself in a legal tussle with Bob Arum last year over his contract with Top Rank Promotions. Pacquiao wanted out of Top Rank and was looking to work with Oscar De La Hoyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golden Boy Promotion, but Arum insisted that the Pacman owed HIM ONE MORE kGHT Pacquiao countered that he AGREED TO ONLY kVE kGHTS IN the 2014 deal he signed with 4OP 2ANK AND THE kFTH AND kNAL kGHT OF THE CONTRACT WAS THE *ULY kGHT WITH (ORN in Brisbane. Arum insisted THAT THERE WAS STILL ONE kGHT left in the deal, but Pacquiao

refused to budge.

Y 4HE gEXTRA kGHTu MAY VERY well refer to the rematch clause Pacquiao consented T TO WHEN HE SIGNED TO kGHT Horn in 2017. But the rematch clause is contingent on Pacquiao exercising said option. Here lies the gray area: If Pacquiao gives in to Hornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provocations and agrees to a rematch, such will give rise TO THE gEXTRA kGHTu !RUM WAS talking about. Top Rank mayy re-enter the picture and argue that it is the one that should promote the Pacquiao-Horn encore considering that the rematch traces its roots from THE CONTRACT OF THE kRST kGHT 4HINGS kGURE TO BE MORE complicated considering thatt Pacquiao is now aligned with g Al Haymonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) stable.

Pacquiao joined the PBC lastt w October with the end in view of securing a megabuck rematch with Haymonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prized client Floyd Mayweather Jr. Given the legal complexities, Pacquiao is really better off skipping a return bout with Horn.

Horn no longer holds a world g title and does not command big money on the table. He clearlyy does not deserve an iota of attention from Pacquiao.

Horn apparently forgott that the tables have been turned; it is now the Pacman who calls the shots.

Harris heading to Sixers in multi-player deal LOS ANGELES: The Philadelphia 76ers have acquired Tobias Harris from the Los Angeles Clippers in a trade deal involving multiple players from both teams, it was CONkRMED ON 7EDNESDAY 4HURSday in Manila).

Philadelphia, meanwhile, HAS OFlOADED 7ILSON #HANdler, Mike Muscala and Landry Shamet to the Clippers.

The Clippers will also receive 0HILADELPHIA S kRST ROUND

draft pick as part of the deal.

Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move represents a high-quality addition for Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already talented roster.

The 26-year-old forward has played 55 games this season, averaging career-high numbers of 20.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.

He is also shooting .496 FROM THE kELD AND FROM three-point distance, the highest numbers of his career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in the unique position to contend now and we think this trade positions

us well for the postseason,â&#x20AC;?

76ers General Manager Elton Brand said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tobias is one of the best three-point shooters in the NBA and possesses an innate ability to impact the game on both ends of the lOOR WHILE "OBAN AND -IKE provide valuable skillsets, size and depth to our team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All three players bring high character to our locker room and we are excited about their kT ALONGSIDE *OEL "EN *IMMY AFP and our entire roster.â&#x20AC;?

Thompson led the scoring with 26 points for the Warriors, with Durant posting 23 points and Curry 19. Cousins also had 15 points while Kevon Looney and Andre Iguodala had 11 off the bench.

The Warriors now lead the West with 38 wins and 15 losses, pulling 1.5 games clear of secondplaced Denver, who suffered a 135-130 defeat to Brooklyn.

Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Angelo Russell once again led the scoring for the Nets with 27 points on a night when seven players cracked double digits for Brooklyn.

The defeat left Denver second in the West with a record of 37-17.

Harden extends hot streak E l s e w h e r e, J a m e s H a r d e n

extended his red-hot scoring streak as the Houston Rockets overwhelmed the Sacramento Kings on the road.

Harden scored 36 points in a 127-101 win for the Rockets, the reigning MVPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 28th straight game where he has scored 30 points or more.

Gerald Green added 25 from the bench while starters Eric Gordon (20) and Chris Paul (15) backed Harden with useful contributions.

The win saw Houston improve to 32-22, leaving them in fifth spot in the Western Conference playoff race.

In the East, Giannis Antetokounmpo underscored his potential MVP credentials with a scintillating 43-point display as the Milwaukee Bucks bagged their 40th win of the season with a 148-129 rout of the Washington Wizards.

UPHSD shoots for triple crown in NCAA volley UNIVERSITY of Perpetual Help System Dalta (UPHSD) guns for a rare volleyball treble as it shoots to sweep all three women, men and juniors divisions today in Season 94 NCAA tournament at the Filoil Flying V Center in San Juan City.

The Lady Altas brought down the Arellano University Lady Chiefs, the reigning women’s champions, with a shock 21-25, 25-17, 25-21, 25-20 victory in Game 1 of their best-of-three

series last week and could complete the massive upset with another win in their 4 p.m. showdown.

The Altas, for their part, turned back the stubborn College of St. Benilde Blazers, 23-25, 25-19, 23-25, 25-23, 15-12, while the Junior Altas waylaid the Letran Squires, 25-15, 25-19, 2519, to move on the cusp of a title sweep in their respective divisions.

If UPHSD could wrap it all up today, it will be the eighth time in the league

that a school swept all three divisions.

Ateneo de Manila University, a FORMER LEAGUE MEMBER WAS THE kRST to accomplish the feat once in 1984 while San Sebastian College-Recoletos did the trick six times in 1984, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 2002.

UPHSD is eyeing a fourth women’s crown, 12th men’s title and 11th juniors’ championship.

“We’re close to achieving something special and we’re going for it,” said

Sammy Acaylar, UPHSD’s athletic director and men’s volley coach.

While UPHSD’s men’s and juniors’ teams are fancied to sweep their foes, its women’s team could expect rough sailing against an Arellano team expected to bounce back from a stinging Game A defeat and send the series into a decider on Tuesday.

The Obet Javier-mentored Lady Chiefs are expected to rely on their championship experience having won three titles in the last four seasons.

faces Iraqi squad WITH Justin Brownlee still hurting, Mighty Sports needs to bring its game to another level when it battles Oil Sports Club of Iraq in the quarterfinal round of the 30th Dubai International Basketball Championship Thursday night (Friday morning Manila time) at the Shabab Al Ahli Club in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Coach Charles Tiu and coteam owner Caesar Wongchuking will decide an hour before their 9 p.m. (1 a.m. Friday Manila time) showdown with the Iraqis if they will let the charismatic import play.

“He said he can play but we won’t force him,” said Wongchuking.

Though Brownlee has taken the medicines needed to ease the pain there’s still a slight swelling on his left knee – a result of a bad fall following a hard collision with a rugged Al Wahda defender in the team’s 85-81 win last Tuesday.

Durant lashes media amid Knicks rumors OAKLAND, United States: Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant lashed out at the media on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) following reports linking him to a move to the New York Knicks.

Speculation over

Q Kevin Durant AFP PHOTO

Durant’s future HAS INTENSIkED DURing the free agency window after the Knicks traded Kristaps Porzingis and other players to the Dallas Mavericks on February 1.

Durant, who has not spoken to the media since the Porzingis trade, broke his silence on Wednesday following Golden State’s rout of San Antonio.

The two-time NBA champion and Finals MVP has been repeatedly linked to a move to the Knicks when he becomes a free agent at the end of the season.

In other matches, Beirut of Lebanon, the No. 1 team in the other group, takes on United Arab Emirates at 5 p.m., Al Riyadi, also of Lebanon, tackles Al Wahda at 7 p.m. while Morocco’s Sale collides with Homenetmen in the opener at 1 p.m.

Tiu hopes to use Brownlee’s condition as the team’s extra motivation to go deep this time after a forgettable showing two years ago.

Mighty Sports won only once in seven games in its maiden campaign in the annual tournament so the marching orders from coteam owner Alex Wongchuking is to reach the Final Four this time.

For the team to advance to the next round American Randolph Morris, who is averaging close to 23 points, and the troika of Fil-Ams Jason Brickman, Roosevelt Adams, and Jerimiah Gray should deliver the numbers expected from them.

However the 30-year-old insisted on Wednesday he was not thinking about his future, and attacked reporters for “twisting” his comments.

“I don’t think about that type of stuff, that’s your job,” Durant said.

“You all piling on me because I don’t want to talk to y’all about that.

I have nothing to do with the Knicks, I don’t know who traded Porzingis, it ain’t got nothing to do with me.

I’m trying to play basketball.”

When pressed further, he told reporters: “Y’all come here every day, ask me about free agency, talk to my teamm a t e s , talk to my coaches, rile up the fans about it.

“Now when I don’t want to talk to you all, it’s a problem with me? Come on man. Grow up.”

Asked why he was reluctant to speak to the press, Durant added: “I just don’t trust any y’all. Every time I say something, it gets twisted up and thrown out in so many publications. Trying to tear me down with my words. And then when I don’t say nothing, it’s a problem.

“I just want to play ball. I want to go to the gym and go home. Is that a problem?”

Asked to comment on Golden State’s form following their 141102 win, Durant abruptly walked out of the press conference.

“I’m done,” he told a reporter. “You know you don’t care about that.”

FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS

Visayan maestro releases book on De Campo Eskrima

BY PERRY GIL S. MALLARI IT takes time to articulate and put into writing the principles and techniques of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s martial art. Miyamoto Musashi, Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest swordsman and author of Go Rin No Sho (The Book of Five Rings) did so at the ripe age of 60.

Such was the case with Filipino martial arts (FMA) luminary Ireneo Olavides, who at 74, penned his magnum opus titled Out of the Shadows, Eskrima De Campo: History, Philosophy and Basic Techniques. Olavides is the patriarch of the Eskrima De Campo JDC-IO clan. The acronym

JDC-IO (sometimes pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x153;jadecioâ&#x20AC;?) stands for Jose Diaz Caballero, Olavidesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; late teacher while IO is his initials.

Olavides, known as Manong Eric among his students, was Caballeroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protĂŠgĂŠ. Caballeroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original style is known by the name De Campo 1-2-3 Orihinal.

Eskrima De Campo JDC-IO is Olavidesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expression of the battle-tested art he received from Caballero. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is that the art I learned from Manong Jose be taught and represented properly,â&#x20AC;? said Olavides on his motivation to write the book.

Eskrima De Campo, while not as popular as other FMA systems, owns a fearsome reputa-

World No. 2 Park, Solaire to ink rich deal SOUTH Korean world No. 2 Sung Hyun Park firmed up her claim as the next global golfing star as she agreed to sign a record-breaking main sponsorship deal with Solaire Resort & Casino ahead of her thirdyear campaign on the LPGA Tour.

The sponsorship contract is said to be the richest ever in Korean womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf history.

With Solaire as chief backer, the 25-year-old Park, a two-time Major winner, will be playing with Solaire in her cap for the next two years on the LPGA Tour as she bids to claim the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 ranking.

Solaire, presenter of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier championship, the Philippine Open, the last few seasons, including last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centennial staging, is run by Bloomberry Resorts and Hotels, Inc., a

subsidiary of Sureste Properties, Inc. Park, Sung Hwan Lee, CEO of Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management agency SEMA Sports Marketing, and Cyrus Sherafat, executive vice president for Casino Marketing, Solaire Resort and Casino, will sign the contract in formal rites in South Korea next week.

Park will also banner the elite cast in the inaugural The Country Club Ladies Invitational set March 6-8 at the TCC layout in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

Meanwhile, tickets to the TCC event, also serving as a leg of the Taiwan LPGA, are pegged at P3,000 for the first two days and P7,000 for the final round or P12,000 for all three days. For details and reservations, email lpgtinvitational@gmail.com or contact Jocelyn Duque at 09157974751.

Park won the US Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open in July 2017 and four months later became the world No. 1. The latest among a slew of Koreans who has dominated womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world golf, Park topped the LPGA of Korea Tour in 2016. She then took her act to the LPGA Tour the following year and became only the second player after legend Nancy Lopez to win the Rookie and Player of the Year honors.

Park also won the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PGA Championship in Illinois last year.

After holding the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top ranking for only one week, Park regained the No. 1 spot after topping the Indy Women in Tech Championship in Aug. 2018. She ended the season third on the LPGA money list and second in the world to Thai Ariya Jutanugarn.

tion due to the fact that it was the art used by Caballero to become an undisputed champion of the blood sport of juego todo (all-out stickfighting without armor). De Campo is classified as a largo mano or long-range style.

The Spanish term De Campo pertains to the spacious open fields, an environment conducive to the use of long-range fighting techniques.

Largo mano fighters recognize the fact that the stick is first and foremost an impact weapon and it is best to capitalize on its long-range capability.

The stick used in largo mano is about 30 inches, considerably longer than most FMA fighting sticks.

Largo mano strikes are delivered with surgical precision on vital areas. Using the length of the weapon to his advantage, a largo mano fighter avoids stick-to-stick contact during a skirmish and attempts to hit the opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weapon hand and other soft tissue targets instead. Whenever possible, a largo mano stylist uses footwork and evasive body movements to avoid blows instead of blocking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that the publication of my book will dispel the many misconceptions about De Campo and that through it, the public will get a glimpse of the quality and standard of FMA as Manong Jose intended it to be,â&#x20AC;? Olavides said.

Olavides is highly qualified to write the book not only because of his martial skills and his relationship with Caballero but also because of his professional background. He was a college professor and defensive tactics instructor who was largely responsible for streamlining Caballeroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original curriculum.

While Eskrima De Campo JDC-IO has training groups in various parts of the Philippines and abroad, the organization has maintained a low profile for so many years, with Olavides himself screening prospective members. The dearth of authentic De Campo instructors as well as reference materials has resulted in the many fallacies about the art. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My book, which offers a comprehensive introduction to the system, will serve well those who are looking for quality information about De Campo,â&#x20AC;? Olavides said.

The Visayan eskrima maestro, in time with the publication of his book, intends to teach his martial art to more people. He attributed the decision, which like the production of the book is long in the making, to serendipity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things happen when you are with the right people, in the right place, at the right time,â&#x20AC;? he concluded.

To reserve a copy of the book email Eskrimadecampo.jdciomanila@gmail.com or call 09214800342.

Where Filipino travelers went for Chinese New Year

CERTAINLY one of the most well traveled people, Filipinos are only too happy to jet off at a new destination,whatever the occasion may be.

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chinese New Year welcome was no exception as most Filipinos chose to fly abroad to ring in the Year of the Earth Pig. The question is, whee did they go?

According to booking data from digital travel platform Agoda â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they chose gourmet and retail paradises like Hong Kong, Tokyo, Taipei and Bangkok among others.

Choice for the Lunar New Year 2019 were as follows: 1. Hong Kong 2. Tokyo, Japan 3. Manila, the Philippines 4. Cebu, the Philippines 5. Taipei, Taiwan 6. Boracay Island, the Philippines 7. Sapporo, Japan 8. Bangkok, Thailand 9. Palawan, the Philippines

10. Osaka, Japan Across the rest of the region, Bangkok, Tokyo and Taipei remained top three most popular destinations for Asia Pacific travelers over the 2019 Lunar New Year.

The Lunar New Year is always a golden opportunity for new beginnings. Whether one is looking to unite the extended family in a rare annual gathering overseas or escape from inquisitive relatives by traveling solo, there are just too many activities to try this season in Asia alone.

Today, The Manila Times, together with Agoda, shares four unique travel ideas to continue bringing in good fortune and adventures in the Year of the Earth Pig. When heading away with the entire familyâ&#x20AC;¦ The Sapporo Snow Festival is one of Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular annual events, taking place until February 11. For some family fun and adventure, head over to Tsudome, featuring snow slides and a rafting area for visitors of all ages.

For a memorable experience, try staying in a capsule hotel. Accommodations such as Nine Hours Asakusa and The Millennials Shibuya offer fuss-free and affordable stays right in the heart of the city center.

An alternative is the Radium Kagaya International Hotel, a haven of rest and relaxation that is just steps away from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numerous attractions such as Beitou Hot Spring.

Heartthrob Ruru Madrid enjoys new tough guy role H

IS name is Emong, an OFW whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decided to return to the Philippines and make a go of living here. He buys a tricycle and drives it around to earn his keep and help out his family. Life seems DULL AND DIFkCULT UNTIL HE COMES ACROSS HIS lovely childhood friend Gelay who, as it turns out, has also decided to become a tricycle driver to support her mom after her dad died.

The two characters in this interesting plot are Ruru Madrid and Kylie Padilla, stars the new GMA political rom-com series â&#x20AC;&#x153;TODA One I Love.â&#x20AC;?

Both excited to work in the innovative series which premiered Monday, Showbuzz got to chat with Ruru who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop raving about his all new role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For sure, viewers will enjoy â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yung mga awayan namin ni Kylie.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Bae member Joel THE VIEWERS WILL kND MY CHARACTER u Like a little boy on Christmas Palencia is fast becoming popular day, Ruru said he especially looks as a solo performer. While still with the Baes every day on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eat BuFORWARD TO DOING kGHT SCENES â&#x20AC;&#x153;But doing action scenes is not laga,â&#x20AC;? heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been very visible in new to me naman.

As the son of the mayor, Kobe all, the boy certainly knows how

to play along with his audience, from his sexy dance moves to his romantic ways the next when he sings a ballad.

Grateful for a thriving career, Joelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ego isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting big but rather, his heart to give back is happily ruling his head. In fact, just before his mall show on Sunday, he joined Kyline Alcantara at Bahay Tanglawan, which takes in young juvenile delinquents to help change their ways.

There, they performed for the inmates. They even gave them the opportunity to perform with them.

After the performance, they distributed goodies to the inmates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a small way of giving thanks to God for all the blessings weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re receiving.

I believe that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also our responsibility as showbiz personalities to inspire especially, in my case, the youth. I want to be of help to the youth in Bahay Tanglawan as they go through reformation. Maganda na pagbalik nila sa society, they will be an asset. Maging contributor sila sa ikaaayos ng community and the society as a whole,â&#x20AC;? he ended.

Q 'That's My Bae' Joel Palencia

Q Ruru Madrid

FOR over two decades now, comedian Michael V has constantly succeeded in making TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longestrunning gag show relatable and relevant to generations of audiences, and shows no signs of stopping.

Not just lead actor of GMA Networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bubble Gangâ&#x20AC;? since 1995 but now its creative director to boot, no episode goes by that sees his work and energy half-baked. All the same, Michael V wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deny that being in the show and conceptualizing skits week after week can also take its toll. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are times that na-bobore din ako kasi ang tagal ko nang â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tong ginagawa eh,â&#x20AC;? he honestly shared during a set visit to his beloved program. Pero â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pag

nararamdaman kong nagiging routine na at yung boredom, dun nagiging malikot ang utak ko. Doon ako naghahanap ng ibang gagawin at nagiisip kung paano ko kaya papahirapan yung sarili ko. And in the process nag-be-benefit namanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;hindi lang ako pero pati yung audience.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed with this comedic genius behind Bubble Gangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued evolution, the show remains to be a household favorite of Filipinos across the nation and in different parts of the world.

Moreover, the program has spewed equally successful projects outside television, most prominent of which was Michael Vâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special Bubble Gang musical in 2017 to celebrate their 22nd anniversary.

Clearly at one of his creative peaks at the time, he wrote the musical using the songs of iconic pop-rock group Parokya ni Edgar and dubbed it â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parokya Bente Dos.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matagal na namin na inimagine na ipag -combine yung musical at comedy and never kami nagkaroon ng chance until gumawa na nga ng ingay yung â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rak of Aegis.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So s abi namin, parang puwede and it so happened it was also the Parokya ni Edgarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anniversary then, which just made merging the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humor with Bubble Gangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect idea,â&#x20AC;? Michael V recalled.

Surprised that two years later, fans are still clamoring for a restaging of Parokya Bente Dos, Michael V happily announced that an updated version will be staged on February 15 at Waterfront Hotel and Casino in Lahug, Cebu City. Retitled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parokya Na â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;To: A

Laugh Story,â&#x20AC;? the live musical will see simple guy Buloy (Michael V) head over heels over actress Birdie Aguila (Kim Domingo). Building his dreams around Birdie, Buloy meets a hodgepodge of adventures in his quest to become her leading man on- and off-screen.

Joining Michael V and Domingo in this riotous stage presentation are Chariz Solomon, Valeen Montenegro, Antonio Aquitania, Paolo Contis, Jackie Rice, Denise Barbacena, Lovely Abella, Sef Cadayona, Betong Sumaya, Mikael Daez, Archie Alemana, Mikoy Morales, Analyn Barro, James Macasero, Roadfill Obeso, Myka Flores and Diego Llorico. Rem Zamora is overall director with Vince de Jesus as musical director, Myke Salomon as musical arranger and choreographer Dan Cabrera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noong pinalabas sa Bubble Gang ang Parokya Nato â&#x20AC;&#x2122; in 2017, it was meant to be for TV. This time around, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a totally musical experience. No cuts, no second takesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all live. We needed musical theater discipline in preparing for the show and more importantly, we made sure that the material has been updated to adapt to the millennials particularly. Kailangan open ka for change kasi hindi magiging successful ang show pag hindi mo â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yon ginawa,â&#x20AC;? the comedian explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And as an artist, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important for us to spread our wings. Patok na patok na yung musicals ngayon and to merge it with comedy for me is a logical evolution.â&#x20AC;?

Produced by GMA Regional TV, in synergy with GMA Entertainment Group and GMA Pinoy TV through the Kapuso Concerts, tickets to the Cebu performance are available via SM Tickets (www. smtickets.com), and (032) 232-6888 or 09155353873.

Hosted by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sumbungan ng Bayanâ&#x20AC;? anchor Raffy Tulfo and renowned rapper Loonie, the TV special features rappers Flict-G, J-King, Jonas, Lhip Kram, M Zhayt, and Poison 13. Using rhyme and rhythm, they debate relevant hot topics and prove that while each rapper could be on opposite sides of an issue, they can also remain respectful of one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s views and opinions.

Other materials supporting this message will continue to air on TV and online (news. tv5.com.ph/bilangpilipino) through the campaign and election season.

Plaintiff has been continuously asking for the defendant to peacefully vacate the property subject of this case.

However, defendant vehemently refused and insisted ownership and possession over the property subject of this case; 10. Due to deliberate refusal of defendant to vacate the property, plaintiff was constrained to refer this matter to his lawyer who sent a Final Notice to Vacate dated 2FWREHU WR GHIHQGDQW via registered mail with return card.

As the lawful and registered owner of Lot 6721 herein plaintiff is entitled to the legal and physical possession of the property subject of this case, without any kind of interference and to exclude any person therein; 12. Plaintiffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title over the property is evidence by his ownership in fee simple. Hence, it fails any rhyme or reason that a person having ownership of a parcel of land be barred from seeking complete ownership and possession thereof by a stranger; 7R DVVHYHUDWH FHUWLÂżFDWH of title over the subject property

serves as indefeasible and incontrovertible title to the property in favor of the person whose name appears therein; 14.
