CAGAYAN de Oro City––The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG-10) calls on local government units to participate in the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Day today, October 6.

SWM planning set in Oro By JORIE C. VALCORZA
CAGAYAN de Oro City––All provincial government unit representatives in the region are here in the city for a three-day knowledge enhancement program on ecological solid waste management (EWSM). The module is tailored fit for provincial LGUs, recognizing its role in influencing cities and municipalities in fulfilling the mandates provided for by RA 9003. Regional Director Sabdullah C. Abubacar of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Environmental Bureau 10 (DENR-EMB 10) said that the current national program on solid waste management (SWM) is focused on increasing waste diversion rate (percentage of a
potentially recyclable material that has not been diverted out of the waste disposal stream) and the formulation of the LGU 10-year SWM Plan as basis for the SWM program implementation. He said, this activity, will help LGUs identify their roles in SWM, as well as, areas of concerns that need to be addressed in their respective locality. The participants are mostly local chief executive representatives, provincial ENR, provincial planning officers, sangguniang panlalawigan member (Chair on health or environment), vice chair provincial solid waste management board, district representatives, academe, DENR PENR/ CENR office coordinators, and other line agencies.

Automatic weather station built in Ozamiz By RUTCHIE C. AGUHOB
PH included in world’s extremely vulnerable to climate change impact By BONG D. FABE Correspondent
CAGAYAN de Oro City–– The Philippines in among the world’s fastest growing populations that are extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, according to the latest release of Maplecroft’s Climate Change and Environment Risk Atlas. Maplecroft, a global risk and strategic consulting firm based in Bath, United Kingdom whose work includes analyzing key political, economic, social and environmental risks impacting global business and investors ranked the Philippines at 10th place in its new Climate Change
Vulnerability Index (CCVI) along with other countries with the fastest population growth such as strategically important emerging economies Bangladesh (ranked 2nd), Vietnam (23rd), Indonesia (27th), and India (28th). Maplecroft’s CCVI rated this countries as “extreme risks.” The CCVI rates 30 countries at “extreme risk,” with the top 10 comprising of Haiti, Bangladesh, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, Cambodia, Mozambique, DR Congo, Malawi and Philippines. Of these Bangladesh and the Philippines are among the world’s fastest growing economies
with growth rates of 6.6 and 5% per annum, respectively. The Climate Change Vulnerability Index features subnational maps and analysis of climate change vulnerability and the adaptive capacity to combat climate change in 193 countries. It features an improved methodology analysing the exposure of populations to climate related natural hazards and sensitivity of countries in terms of population concentration, development, natural resources, agricultural dependency and conflict. Maplecroft’s CCVI also identified and rated as “extreme risk” six (6) of the world’s fastest growing cit-
ies, including the major Asian economic centers of Calcutta, Manila, Jakarta, Dhaka and Chittagong, and Addis Ababa. It identified and rated as “high risk” Guandong, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Karachi and Lagos. Population growth in all these cities, combine with poor government effectiveness, corruption, poverty and other socio-economic factors, increase the risks to residents and business, Maplecroft said. Infrastructures, which cannot cope at 2011 levels, will therefore struggle to adapt to large population rises in the future, making IMPACT | page 9
OZAMIZ City, Misamis Occidental––An Automatic Weather Station (AWS) has been installed in Ozamiz City, particularly, in Barangay Kinuman Norte, some 15 kilometers from the urban center. The Ozamiz City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (OCDRRMC) has entered into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration of the Department of Science and Technology (Pagasa-DOST) for its installation. “The city needs a more accurate weather forecasting to help in the detection and prevention of would-be hazards like flooding and landslide, brought about by the current weather phenomenon,” Mayor Nova Princess E. Parojinog-Echavez, OCDRRMC Chairperson, said. The AWS could help the city in aiding the agricultural sector and Pagasa-DOST in intensifying their forecasting network due to the strategic location of the city at the foot of the Mt. Malindang Ranges Natural Park, she said. The Mayor said the AWS equipment can be used to provide reliable data and information on extreme weather and climate occurrences by measuring wind velocity, air temperature, air pressure, relative humidity and rainfall or precipitation. Both the Pagasa-DOST and Ozamiz City Government have pledged to extend their full cooperation for the effective and efficient operation of the equipment. Pursuant to the MOA, Pagasa-DOST shall identify the location/site where one AWS will be installed and provide technical orientation and facilitate the training of caretakers who will operate and maintain it to be assigned by the City of Ozamiz. On the other hand, the City of Ozamiz shall also provide a space for the AWS for as long as it is needed in the operation and in the pursuance of public service, provided, that it shall retain the ownership of the land where the AWS will be constructed, regardless of the length of time it will operate. Should DOST-Pagasa cease to operate it, the possession and administration of the said land shall automatically revert to the lot owner without any obligation to DOST-Pagasa. The city government will also facilitate and coordinate the use of proposed site for the AWS, which needs to measure 12 m by 12 m and its fencing, as prescribed by Pagasa. Moreover, the city government is tasked to promote the need for an environmental monitoring system in the community, especially for early warning system application; ensure that the equipment is protected and free from obstructions; and perform basic preventive maintenance of the AWS. Ozamiz City should also report to Pagasa through the CDRRM Office, any damage(s) or losses that may arise to the equipment.
The power of knowing what’s in your water By BEAU BACONGUIS
THE Citarum River in West Java, Indonesia, supports agriculture, water supplies, fisheries, industry, sewerage and electricity. It’s the lifeblood of the community around it. But like so many other waterways in Southeast Asia, the Citarum is sick. Toxic pollution from manufacturing and industry is strangling the river. This month, across Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, Greenpeace activitsts worked with communities to highlight the powerful role they play in the future of their water––and put a stop to toxic water pollution. These communities have a right to know what is in their water, what is being pumped into it and a right to not have it contaminated by hazardous chemicals. Through water patrols, actions on local polluters and even zombie parades in The Phillipines, communities are
taking the message to authorities that toxic water pollution is not on. • In Indonesia, to coincide with Right to Know Day, Greenpeace and other NGO activists delivered 11 bottles of water and industrial waste water samples taken from six areas of Citarum River to the West Java Environmental Management Agency, urging the government to analyse it for presence of hazardous chemicals. The activists have challenged the agency to announce the findings to the public, to fulfill the public’s right to know what is in their environment. • In the Philippines, zombies with speech bubbles joined Greenpeace at the Philippines’ Department of Environment and Natural Resources to deliver the petition with close to 2837 signatures collected during recent water patrols asking the department to expand the priority chemicals list, speed up the elimination of priority WATER | page 9

More than a feeling Speaking Out Ignacio Bunye
Consumers should know their right IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, I have received numerous complaints from Filipino consumers regarding a myriad of issues — most of them concerning credit cards. Without most of us knowing about it, there is a way to protect ourselves from frauds and “predators” in the business and trade industry. According to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the key to better consumer protection is knowing the Consumer Act of the Philippines. The Consumer Act of the Philippines, Republic Act No. 7394, took effect on July 15, 1992. It promotes the State’s policy “to protect the interest of the consumer, promote his general welfare, and establish standards of conduct for business and industry.” The Act aims to protect consumers against hazards to health and safety, and against deceptive, unfair, and unconscionable sales acts and practices. It also seeks to give information and education to facilitate sound choice and the proper exercise of consumer rights and to provide adequate rights and means of redress. Lastly, it aims to involve consumer representatives in the formulation of social and economic policies. Consumer products or services are defined as “goods, service and credits, debts or obligations which are primarily for personal, family, household, or agricultural purpose, which shall include, but are not limited to food, drugs, cosmetics, and devices.” The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is among the government agencies that implement the Consumer Act. It concerns itself with consumer credit transactions extended by banks and other financial intermediaries. Here is a list of the other government agencies implementing the Consumer Act and their areas of concern: • Department of Trade and Industry: consumer product
THINK a minute. A little boy was asked what he thought about marriage. He answered: “God says that a man should have only one wife. This is called monotony!” That little boy, of course, meant to say “monogamy.” But some adults think that being married to one wife or husband for the rest of their life is monotony and boring! Possibly because we’ve listened to the love songs about the wonderful feeling of being in love. So we start to actually believe that real love is just the feeling of being in love. But loving a person is not just the feeling of being

But feelings are not enough to keep the fire going and your marriage strong and satisfying, especially through the hard times! You see, our moods and feelings change all the time. So love is not a feeling;
love is a choice! It’s a choice you and I make with our heart, mind, and will. Love is a decision that says: I choose you and only you, now and always, as my friend and lover for the rest of my life.

So the public may know Atty. Sara Jane A. Suguitan Section 4(c) of R.A. No. 10175 is a step in the wrong direction. Our legislative growth is supposed to move forward by decriminalizing libel and increasing fines instead, to assure self-regulation and shared responsibility among writers and publishers. Just last September 25 no less than President Obama
said before the U.N. General Assembly that ‘the strongest weapon against hateful speech is not repression, it is more speech - the voices of tolerance that rally against bigotry and blasphemy, and lift up the values of understanding and mutual respect.’ We teach students in school of that oft-quoted
statement, ‘I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to death your right to say it.’ These are arguments in support of the very foundation of our democracy, that of freedom of speech and expression in order to foster an informed citizenry. I value all the expressions made over social media because they present me with different mirrors of reality. Social media presents us with information as they happen. Taking that away by threat of suit and severe punishment will only further weaken those who are already too weak to take criticism.

Valid defenses against online libel
THE effectivity of R.A. 10175 encourages a new breed of court suits, which may further burden the courts’ already clogged dockets. Most of the possible suits will be whimsical and frivolous, and should merit an outright dismissal by the courts. So, are there ways to excuse alleged libelous speech on social media? Yes.Truth remains a valid defense in case of libel. So does fair comment and criticism. The challenge is in proving otherwise, which is the burden of the CONSUMERS | page 5 one bringing the suit for cyber libel.

keeping you for good. This is why Jesus Christ taught that a husband and wife become one person. So when you divorce, it’s like cutting off half of your body. It tears apart not only your life, but your children’s lives! If we keep needing a new thrill, then our thrills will just get fewer and weaker, until we’ve become a sad, lonely old man or woman. Because we never learned and chose to truly love. So why not ask Jesus to forgive you, and to take full charge of your heart? That’s when you can start enjoying the thrill of marriage and real love that lasts. Just Think a Minute.

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…`Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For ever yone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened’…” (Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, in Matthew 7:7-8, the Holy Bible). -oooTINGTING COJUANGCO WANTS CYBERLAW AMENDED: Senatorial candidate Margarita “Tingting” Cojuangco is amenable to amending Republic Act 10175, or the Cybercrime Law, to remove its provisions imposing harsher penalties on libel committed through the Internet. Tingting is also looking at removing libel as a crime, and instead treating it and other defamator y utterances as civil liabilities. This view of Tingting is of course Constitutionallycorrect, because the 1987 Constitution guarantees free speech, free press and
Kakampi mo ang batas Atty. Batas Mauricio free expression without any limitation. It is an anachronism that while the basic and highest law of the country contains these guarantees, a mere law---the Revised Penal Code---contravenes it by penalizing such freedoms. The time has come, really, to uphold the Constitution over libel. Now, someone asked me: why are bills decriminalizing libel not being acted upon by congressmen and senators? The answer is simple: they want to retain libel as a crime so they can continue silencing media and their critics against their wrongdoings and inanities. It is also time now to kick out these lawmakers who are thinking only of their interests.
-oooWINDS CAUSING DESTRUCTION: Did you read the news report of storm-force winds causing havoc in Tasmania, Australia the other day? Yahoo! News said winds of up to 100 kilometers per hour brought down powerlines, sparking fires, canceling flights, uprooting trees and roofs of houses. Yet, there was no storm, which is the usual cause of these winds. The same thing has been happening here in the Philippines lately, but on a much lesser, though equally destructive, scale. If science cannot explain these occurrences, the Bible can. In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, warned
that winds will come and cause death and destruction, for those who listen to His Word but do not obey them. -ooo`GOLDEN RULE’ IN GMA ARREST: I cannot help but be reminded of the so-called “golden rule” when I heard that former President, and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo, was arrested once again by virtue of a non-bailable warrant of arrest issued by the Sandiganbayan on account of a plunder case against her. Whatsoever you did to others, that will also be done to you. What she did to President Estrada is now being done to her. Everyone should realize the accuracy of this “golden rule”, because it is actually a rule given by Jesus Christ, in Matthew 7:12 of the Bible: “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” I believe it would be well LIBEL | page 9

Contractor joins congressional race in Davao Norte TAGUM City, Davao del Noryte––Second District Rep. Antonio Lagdameo may not be overconfident this time after many are expecting that he may still run unopposed like in the 2010 national and local elections since a new name is out to oppose him. Engr. Rico Peligro, a contractor, filed his Certificate of Candidacy (COC) Tuesday to square off Lagdameo, who will be on his third and last term, in the province’s second district congressional race. Pe l i g r o, a y o u n g e r brother of late Pong Peligro, who was the former provincial administrator of Governor Rodolfo del Rosario, said it is already
high time that the people in the second district could experience the real development if he is elected. He said he was appointed district chair of the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC), which coaliced with the administration’s Liberal Party (LP), but he is running without partymates. Lagdameo founded the Kusog Baryohanon, his local party that is affiliated with the newly-formed National unity Party (NUP). Almost 90 percent of incumbent mayors, vice mayors and councilors in the second district are running under his group. Anthony S. Allada of the Philippine News Agency

THE UNITED NATIONALIST ALLIANCE (UNA) yesterday announced the selection of Nancy Binay, eldest daughter of Vice President Jejomar C. Binay, as its 12th senatorial candidate. “We are encouraged by Nancy’s consistently strong performance in the surveys. She has always landed in the winning circle in both Pulse Asia and SWS with the least effort,” said UNA Secretary General Toby Tiangco in a statement. “There has also been a groundswell of support for her candidacy coming from sectoral groups and nongovernmental organizations nationwide. We cannot ignore these voices and their commitment to help Nancy and the entire senatorial slate of UNA,” he added. Tiangco said the younger Binay will contribute the “Binay brand of outstanding public service” once elected to the Senate. While serving as mayor of Makati, the Vice President received local and international recognition for his trailblazing programs in education, health and senior citizens welfare. “With her father working tirelessly in the Executive BINAY | page 9
Mayoralty bet vows real change, genuine devt for Butuan BUTUAN City––Butuan Mayoralty bet Rep. Jose “Joboy” Aquino, II vowed to implement real reforms as he signed the declaration of unity with former NFA Administrator Lito Banayo
forming Butuan Atong Minahal Coalition. Speaking during the signing ceremonies on Thursday, Aquino said the continuing complaints from Butuanons and some barangay captains
and kagawads that were allegedly deprived of assistance and almost absence of the delivery of government basic services in their respective barangay prompted him to run.
Aquino said that once elected he will prioritize better farm to market roads to encourage farmers to plant vegetable, fruits and other staple food saying better road access for agricultural produce
will provide cheap food prices thus more food for every table of every Butuanon family. Aquino with his tandem former NFA Administrator Lito Banayo outlined their priorities among which ag-

The DTI, in a primer, said the consumer should follow this process if he or
she has a complaint before the abovementioned government agencies: • Identify the problem. Identify the problem and what you believe would be a fair settlement. Do you want your money back (Refund)? Would you like the product repaired (Repair)? Will exchange do (Replace)? • Gather documents. Gather documentation regarding your complaint. Sales receipts, repair orders, warranties, cancelled checks, or contract which will substantiate the com-

Calmly and accurately explain the problem and what action you would like to be taken. If that person is not helpful, ask for the supervisor or manager and repeat your complaint. A large percentage of consumer problems are resolved at this level. • Write a formal letter of complaint. If you are not satisfied with the

CAGAYAN de Oro City––All field implementing officers of Pantawid Pamilya should be non-partisan at all times in the light of the up coming local and national elections. Atty. Araceli F. Solamillo, Regional Director of the Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office 10, said all Pantawid Pamilya workers are prohibited from directly or indirectly participating or appearing to participate in any partisan political activities of any political parties or candidates. Atty. Solamillo reiterated the marching order of Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Juliano-Soliman in order to emphasize the impartiality of the program and its workers in relation to the political activities in the region. Soliman, in her memorandum addressed to all regional directors and Pantawid Pamilya field implementing officers dated August 2, 2012, stressed that any workers against whom a complaint or report involving any of the prohibited acts shall be immediately suspended from her or his post. Only after the suspension an investigation will follow. Prohibited acts, according to the memorandum, include threatening, intimidating or inducing any Pantawid Pamilya beneficiary to attend any partisan political activity; employing deceit or misrepresentation to gather Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries for a political caucus, meeting, rally or other similar assemblies in the guise of an official program activity; active endorsement of a political candidate or party to beneficiaries; distributing partisan political literature or materials to beneficiaries during any official program activity; allowing the program and any of its activities to be used as a vehicle for partisan political activities; and performing any act that promotes any political candidate or party while in the performance of official duties as field implementing officers of the program.

Enhanced Phil-JobNet takes a big leap in Misamis Occidental By: Ms. Jasmin L. Vicente, LEO II, Misamis Occidental
Oroquieta City --- The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on the enhanced Phil-JobNet (PJN) was signed by the DOLE’s Regional Office and Ozamiz and Oroquieta Chambers of Commerce and Industry
in a program held for the purpose on 28 September 2012, at the Misamis University, Ozamiz City. Representing employers were: the Ozamiz City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. represented by its Vice-President, Michael Amores; and the Oroquieta City Chamber
DA urges farmers to prepare for El Nino By JOEY SEM G. DALUMPINES
DAVAO CITY -- An officer of the Department of Agriculture urged farmers to plant ahead to cope with the impact of the El Nino phenomenon, which is projected to come in January 2013. The El Niño, which is caused by a n abnorma l warming of surface ocean waters in the eastern tropical Pacific, will initially cause below-normal rainfall that would later progress into drier conditions. Speaking in the initial press briefing of the 8th Corn Congress at the Waterfront Insular Hotel, Assistant Secretary Edilberto de Luna said the agricultural sector, especially the farmers, must learn to adapt with climate change by planting ahead while ample supply of water is available. De Luna, who is also the national corn coordinator, said the El Nino phenomenon is inevitable and farmers need how to institute adaptation measures in their farming practices. He cited areas vulnerable to the dry spell, namely, the provinces in Northern and
Central Luzon, Northern Mindanao and Socsksargen areas. “We will start to feel its effects on January, 2013. So if it comes, our strategy is for our farmers to plant early,” he said. De Luna said DA has put up irrigation systems in areas where it is needed. In an advisory, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said the El Niño will likely hit various parts of the country beginning October and would last until May 2013. In South Cotabato, the Provincial Agricultural Office mulled on revising its cropping pattern to prepare farmers from the effect of the long dry spell. Reynaldo Legaste, provincial agriculturist, said pa lay and corn farmers, and other crop producers already made planting adjustments. He recalled that in 2010, a mild El Niño caused farmlands in the province and the nearby areas to dry up for several months, destroying millions worth of agricultural crops. (JSGD-PIA 11)

nationwide and let justice and righteousness flow like a never failing stream to protect and sustain God’s gifts to us.” “SULOG, The Movement” is born to enlighten, unite and to empower our people determined to address, overcome and change the torrential tide of environmental damages confronting our society today,” said former councilor Celestino Ocio. “SULOG , the movement has answered Bangon Kagay-an’s call to hold a PEOPLES MINING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUMMIT called “ ONE SENDONG IS ENOUGH.” Some 43 members of the core group representing cause-oriented groups, indigenous peoples, civic clubs joined hands barely two months ago to create an all-inclusive group of people dedicated to a sustainable development and lifestyle of the nation’s patrimony.

disaster responses less effective, while at the same time these disasters themselves may become more frequent. This has implications for buildings, transportation routes, water and energy supply and the health of the residents, it added. “Cities such as Manila, Jakarta and Calcutta are vital centers of economic growth in key emerging markets, but heat waves, flooding, water shortages and increasingly severe and frequent storm events may well increase as climate changes takes hold,” said Dr. Charlie Beldon, principal environmental analyst at Maplecroft, in a statement. “The impacts of this could have far reaching consequences, not only for local populations, but on business, national economies and on the balance sheets of investors around the world, particularly as the economic importance of these nations is set to dramatically increase,” he added. Climate change and population growth form
the two greatest challenges facing the world over the next century. The UN’s State of the World’s Population Report 2011 revealed that the world’s population has now reached 7 billion. Most exposed to flooding, typhoons: As cities grow, the growing numbers of urban poor will be increasingly at risk from the devastating effects of climate change. Urban planning, infrastructure and local regulations will determine how these cities adapt to the twin challenges of increasing population and climate change, Maplecroft said. “ T h e e x p ans i on of population must be met with an equal expansion of infrastructure and civic amenities. As these megacities grow, more people are forced to live on exposed land, often on flood plains or other marginal land,” Beldon added. “It is therefore the poorest citizens that will be most exposed to the effects of climate change, and the least able to cope with the effects.” The Maplecroft research also identified Manila as extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change due to a combination of exposure to hazards, poor socio-economic factors and a low capacity to adapt. Manila is predicted to grow by 2.23 million residents between 2010 and 2020, an increase of nearly 20%. It is particularly at risk of flooding and typhoon activity, having the highest exposure to these events out of the twenty growth cities. It also urged the government to prioritize the improvements to the adaptive capacity of Manila to the effects of climate change. “Although climatic risks may increase for all cities, the impacts of this will be felt more keenly in cities like Manila which are naturally exposed to more of these hazards and have burgeoning population. Urban sprawl onto flood plains as well as the loss of urban green spaces could see large areas of cities at risk from flooding leading to considerable infrastructure damage and health risks,” it said. Maplecroft also noted

that the Philippines’ resilience to natural hazards has been severely tested in recent years, with severe floods affecting Luzon and its capital Manila. It said that that in the last 20 years, the Philippines recorded at least 274 natural disasters. Highest financial risk: In its 2nd Natural Hazards Risk Atlas, Maplecroft identified the Philippines, Myanmar, india and Vietnam as among the 10 countries that have the highest financial risk from the threat of natural hazards due to high exposure of their cities and trading hubs flooding, earthquakes and tropical cyclones. Maplecroft’s Natural Hazards Relative Economic Exposure index also identified Bangladesh, Dominican Republic, India, Honduras and Haiti to round up the Top 10 countries having the highest financial risks from natural hazards. Aside from having the greatest proportion of their economic output exposed to natural hazards, these countries also demonstrate poor capability to recover from a significant event, thus exposing investments in these countries to risk of supply chain and market disruptions, it said. This could exacerbate other risks like society unrest, food security, corruption and the rule of law even leading to increased political risk, it added. According to Maplecroft, high levels of economic exposure, coupled with weak resilience, means that the fallout of a large natural disaster would likely be felt keenest in these countries. “The resulting impacts in the Asian growth economies of Bangladesh, the Philippines, Myanmar, India and Viet Nam would not only include disruptions to their domestic economies, but also to the operations and supply chains of many of the world’s largest corporations who invest in these locations because of their significant growth opportunities.” “High exposure to natural hazards in these countries are compounded by a lack of resilience to combat the effects of a disaster should one emerge,” Helen
Hodge, head of Maps and Indices at Maplecroft, said in a statement. “Given the exposure of key financial and manufacturing centers, the occurrence of a major event would be very likely to have significant impacts on the total economic output of these countries, as well as foreign business.” Maplecroft noted that the impacts in these countries are heightened by their fragile economy and it may take them years to bounce back from an event on a similar scale to the Japan earthquake. A year after the fourth largest earthquake ever recorded, the Japanese economy has returned to the economic output levels and growth forecasts seen prior to the event. The Natural Hazards Risk Atlas has been developed by Maplecroft to help companies assess and compare natural hazards risks across 197 countries and builds on research undertaken by Maplecroft with UN OCHA. It includes 29 risk indices and interactive maps that measure physical exposure to 12 different natural hazards, in addition to calculating overall economic exposure and socio-economic resilience to large events. Maplecroft also identified Japan, China, Taiwan and Mexico as having the highest economic exposure to natural hazards in absolute terms. Economic losses for 2011 are estimated at US $380 billion by Munich Re, with the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan accounting for approximately 55 percent of the total. However, huge economies such as Japan have the capacity to recover relatively quickly from natural disasters due to entrenched resilience factors including: economic strength, strong governance, established infrastructures, disaster preparedness and tight building regulations – factors that are, according to Maplecroft, largely ineffective in many of the emerging growth economies. “As the global influence of emerging economies increases; the importance of their inherent natural haz-
ard exposure will have wider and deeper global implications,” Hodge added.“The test for emerging and developing economies is to build a stronger capacity to meet the challenge of hazard prone environments. Failure to do so will risk their ambitious economic growth when the inevitable natural hazards strike.” “This presents an exciting opportunity for business to contribute to reducing risk and thus to enhance their own security in the future economic growth environment. As the middle classes grow in these emerging economies the appetite for insurance will also grow, incentivising stronger disaster preparedness,” Maplecroft CEO Alyson Warhurst said in a statement.

chemicals with specific timelines, and establish a Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR)––a register that provides easily accessible key environmental data. • In Thailand, Greenpeace activists oversaw community meetings and facilitated community water patrols. Activists also conducted waste water sampling on factory discharges. Water pollution is not just a problem in far off countries. We all share the same water and our research shows, for example, that clothes washed around the world flush toxic chemicals into our rivers from China to the USA. The first step is giving communities the right to know what is being discharged into their rivers and other water bodies. It’s a simple demand that can go a long way. Disclosing environmental information is credited for having helped many industrialized countries achieve significant reduction in toxic releases. Systems such as the US Toxics Release Inventory or EU Pollutant Release and Transfer Register help the public to hold the polluters accountable for their acts. We need stronger legislation in certain countries to protect communities and

their environments and we need industry to stop treating our public water like their private sewers and switch to clean production.

Rufus Rodriguez is showing, at least in his House Bill 4368 which the House of Representatives has approved on third and final reading. The bill seeks to immediately recognize a divorce obtained by a foreigner against a Filipino husband or wife, by just registering that divorce with the National Statistics Office. At present, a Filipino spouse still needs to go to court to have the divorce against him or her judiciallyrecognized, so that he can marry again. This present requirement is unjust and unfair, because it has the effect of favoring the foreigner. It is good that Rufus took notice of this unfairness and acted on it.

Calls for MVP to run as POC president snowball
Boom-Boom Bautista to redeem self in Oct 20 title bout in MOA
THE clamor to convince telecommunications tycoon Manny V. Pangilinan to vie for the presidency of the Philippine Olympic Committee is gaining ground among some National Sports Associations. And the snowballing effort to persuade Pangilinan to give the critical matter a second thought, a source inside the MVP group said, has prompted serious reconsideration from the president of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas and chairman of the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines. The source said some NSA leaders have assured the business bigwig a cursory head count shows him ahead, “and many of those on the fence have indicated they will support MVP should he declare himself available” for the post. “MVP is slowly feeling the pressure to take on the responsibility of going for the presidency,” the insider said. “He is already currently into several sports disciplines as benefactor so it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to imagine him taking on a bigger challenge. But no decisions have been made yet.” PO C president Jose ‘Peping’ Cojuangco, who is seeking a third term in the Nov. 30 elections, has earlier offered Pangilinan the position of POC chairman in a power-sharing scheme. pna
CEBU City––Rey “Boom-Boom” Bautista (32-2, 25 KOs) was once considered as the future superstar of Filipino boxing to follow in the footsteps of boxing champion Manny Pacquiao. But everything seemed to be going downhill for him after losing in his bid for a world title against Daniel Ponce de Leon over five years ago. Following that loss, Bautista’s career turned shaky. He suffered a career-threatening hand injury and also the second defeat of his career against Heriberto Ruiz in 2008. Now, almost entering the peak of his career, the 26-year-old Bautista wants to finally prove that he still has what it takes to become a world champion. But before Bautista’s world title shot, he has to get past another tough Mexican, Daniel Ruiz, on Oct. 20 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. “I went into boxing and strived to get to where I am now because I hated the impoverished life. I do not want my family to experience that ever again. That is my motivation,” said Bautista. ALA Promotions is looking at two options for Bautista, who is fighting for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) International Featherweight belt. He can challenge for the WBO featherweight title against current holder Orlando Salido of Mexico or agree to a rematch with De Leon, who was recently crowned as the World Boxing Council (WBC) featherweight champion. “It depends on Boom-Boom’s progress. Daniel Ruiz is a threat. Yes, fighting De Leon is his dream. Now that De Leon is a world champion, the more that he wants the rematch,” said ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer in a recent press conference. Bautista is currently rated No. 4 in the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and No. 11 in the WBO. Bautista’s battle with Ruiz is the supporting main event to the world title bout between AJ “Bazooka” Banal (28-1-1, 20 KOs) and Pungluang Sor Singyu (42-1, 27 KOs) for the vacant WBO bantamweight strap, while Jason Pagara (29-2, 18 KOs) defends his WBO International light welterweight belt against unbeaten Miguel Antoine (170-1, 9 KOs).
