DOLE to issue guide for employers on 13th-month pay

By FERDINAND PATINIO

MANILA – The Depart ment of Labor and Em ployment (DOLE) said Friday it is set to issue an advisory regarding the grant of 13th-month pay for private sector employees.

“We will release a labor advisory to guide our employers in the pay ment of the 13th-month pay this year, for 2022. At the same time, we are also contacting our em ployers’ organizations for the correct payment of the 13th-month pay,” Alvin Curada, director of the DOLE’s Bureau of Working Conditions (BWC), said in a Laging Handa briefing.

He noted that for this year, the computation for the 13th-month pay would be based on all the basic salary that a worker received from January 1 to December 31 this year.

“It will be divided by 12. The total is the 13thmonth pay. This is 1/12 of the total basic salary earned by the employee in one calendar year or

( f ile photo )

this year,“ Curada said.

Under Presidential Decree 851, which was signed by the late presi dent Ferdinand E. Marcos in 1975, workers should get or receive their 13thmonth pay not later than December 24 every year.

Curada added that some employers give the mandatory payment in two tranches – the first half is given before classes start, usually in May, and the other half, days before Christmas Day.

“But the rule is, the employee has to have his/ her 13th-month pay not later than December 24

every year,” he said.

All rank-and-file employees of a private company are entitled to 13th-month pay, provided they have been employed for at least one month within the calendar year.

On the other hand, companies are required to report to DOLE, through its Online Establishment Report Form not later than Jan. 15, 2023, on the settlement of the 13thmonth pay.

Based on BWC data, it recorded a high compli ance rate in the payment of 13th-month pay at 97.1 percent in 2021. ( PNA )

French agency pledges funding for PH action vs. climate change

MANILA – The Agence française de développe ment (French Development Agency) has committed 482 million euros in support of the Philippines’ actions against climate change.

Senate President ProTempore Loren Legarda announced the development on Friday, an addition to the 250 million euros granted to the Philippines last year for disaster risk reduction, preparedness, and response at the local level.

“We are grateful for your

continued support for the Philippines and other devel oping nations and we hope that France will be on the side of developing nations so that the issues of loss and damage, which is important to vulnerable nations, could also be defended or even discussed,” Legarda said in a news release.

“I’m glad that France does not stop in helping in giving technological, techni cal, and capacity-building, and even financial assistance in so far as biodiversity

conservation, sustainable development, and climate action,” she added.

Legarda previously stated the importance of the Paris Agreement, a legally bind ing international treaty on climate change adopted by 196 parties at the Confer ence of the Parties 21 in Paris on Dec. 12, 2015 and entered into force on Nov. 4, 2016.

Cebu Pac, AirAsia flights between Cebu-Laoag pushed

By LEILANIE ADRIANO

LAOAG CITY – As Ilocos Norte aggressively promotes its tourism industry, Gov. Matthew Joseph Manotoc on Friday bared plans to resume talks with budget airlines Cebu Pacific and Air Asia about opening direct flights between Cebu and Laoag.

Manotoc said both airline companies have expressed interest to introduced new

routes to and from Laoag but are just waiting for the right time.

“I believe that Cebu to Laoag [flights] and vice versa is a strong route because it connects Central and South ern Philippines to Ilocos region,” said Manotoc citing the low-cost airline Cebu Pacific as the most ideal considering that its hub is located in Cebu.

In 2011, both the Ilocos

Norte and Cebu govern ments signed a pact for sister-province ties as they bid to promote more oppor tunities in economic invest ment, tourism, agriculture as well as the passion for culture and heritage, among other things.

The first step to maximize the sisterhood agreement is to open direct flights from Cebu to Laoag and vice versa. Currently, travelers com

ing from Cebu have to fly either to Manila or Clark in Pampanga first before reaching Ilocos Norte.

With the continuous upgrading of the Laoag In ternational Airport to ac commodate bigger aircraft, the governor said he is also looking forward to the pos sibility of opening interna tional flights to Kaohsiung, Taiwan due to its proximity to Laoag City. (PNA)

Kim’s Dream

Enough is Enough of Oligarchical Control

CHIEF Seattle is now proven absolutely right when he and the natives of America, whom he then led some four centuries ago, questioned the economic system that was uprooting them from their native land and their culture as well. For a while they resisted but “might was right,” so it came to pass that by virtue of conquest, it was another culture that pre vailed over the land. That gave way to the imposition of the colonizers’ economic system that provided titles to everything that could be owned or sold.

Today, that kind of eco nomic system has gone berserk in pursuing the growth-at-all cost strategy through oligarchical control under the regime of one percent, even sacrificing mother nature to the altar of greed and profit. All because individual owner ship gives one the absolute right of exploitation, even if devoid of any sense of morality as long as there is profit. This is res ipsa loquitor (the thing speaks for itself) considering the global state of the environ ment.

Highly attached to Moth er Earth, the Indigenous People then of the North

American Continent were puzzled why everything was the subject of commerce especially the land and all the natural wonders found in it. How can you own something that will outlast you. You cannot own the land, the land will own you. Perhaps, even the sky will be sold if only such can be owned by the colonizers, so they thought.

In the Philippines, our Indigenous People are also of the belief that land can be owned only when one is using it or working to make it productive otherwise it is owned communally. In fact, they believe that there are things which by their very nature should not be owned or be the subject of commerce because these are means to life and are there fore universal in nature. A good example is air. Just imagine one entrepreneur who is able to develop a technology that can capture all the air available, then, start selling it. Only those with money will survive, isn’t it?

This is also true to water and to electricity, without which we are all doomed. It was unimaginable in the past to sell our water as it is beyond comprehension

Espresso Mornings

Powering adoption of electric vehicles

JUST when mobility began increasing as the country recovers from Covid-19, the war between Ukraine and Russia -- two of the world’s largest oil producers, sent economies tumbling after the massive increases in global crude oil prices that dribbled down to the local fuel industry.

environment for the country.

In 2006, the government issued Executive Order 488 to support the manufactur ing of EVs. This effectively reduced the tariff rate for EV components, consequently allowing EV manufacturers to import at a more afford able price.

now to sell air. But in a land where there is the propen sity to subject everything to business, who knows? The oligarchs and their conglom erates are in control of water and electricity and in fact have formed a strong cabal of vested interest. In this country, economic begets political power, thus, these oligarchs are well protected.

In fact, we have lost our ecological integrity because we have subjected our for est, our seas, our rivers, our agricultural lands and our minerals to be exploited to earn dollars – not for the common good but for a few capitalists. Didn’t you know that we have the finest timber in the world that had commanded high price abroad?

I got an information that one shipment alone of logs would earn the loggers about three hundred sixty million pesos. What a bonanza for one whose only capital was the Timber License Agreement issued to him as political patronage during the past administrations, as disclosed by Ms. Marites Vitug in her book, “Power

Based on data from Statista, the average retail price of one liter of gas in the Philippines is now up by 36.9 percent in the first half of the year versus the same period in 2021, making it a huge challenge for the transportation sector which is one of the priority sectors for the development of the Marcos administration.

In his first State of the Nation Address, President Ferdinand R. Marcos said that one of his priority pro grams is developing the country’s transportation industry through a better railway system. There were also statements assuring improvements in the mass transport system -- one that is not only efficient but also eco-friendly.

For more than a decade now, the Philippine govern ment has been promoting the use of electric vehicles (EV) with the goal of cre ating a more sustainable

This was further sup ported by Republic Act 11697, or the EV Industry Development Act (EVIDA), which provides a national policy framework to develop the electric vehicle industry in the Philippines.

There is increasing inter est in EVs in the country, and the pandemic years were a testament to this when transportation and mobility were limited to keep the virus outbreak at bay.

As compared with con ventional vehicles, EVs are more eco-friendly as they do not emit carbon dioxide that is harmful to the envi ronment and are consider ably more economical. A report said that the energy consumption cost of using an EV or electric public utility jeepney (EV-PUJ) is roughly 39 percent as against a diesel-fueled conventional PUJ.

Many companies have also incorporated EVs into

their sustainability agenda. One of which is the Manila Electric Company (Meral co), the largest distribution utility in the Philippines.

Over the last two years, Meralco has launched its Green Mobility Program which aimed to electrify its entire vehicle fleet. As of this writing, Meralco has successfully converted the entire fleet of its Metro Manila Business Centers into EVs.

To support the program, Meralco installed five fast chargers in strategic loca tions across its franchise area and looking to more than double the number over the next three months. Four more charging stations will be put up at its Power Tech facility at the Meralco Compound which can cater to almost all major commer cially available protocols to date. It is also expected to feature a vehicle-to-home bidirectional charging sta tion that will allow custom ers to use their EVs to supply power to their appliances.

Technology-wise, new models continue to evolve.

PAL targets net zero carbon emission by 2050

By MA. CRISTINA ARAYATA

MANILA -- Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) announced Friday it is eyeing to achieve net zero carbon emission by 2050.

The airline is investing in an all-out carbon reduc tion program as part of a multi-year commitment to combat climate change.

This initiative, PAL said, “comes at a crucial time for the international aviation industry, which is seeking to further lessen its environ

mental impact in response to the global scientific com munity’s clarion call against irreversible climate change.”

It added that this ini tiative will be holistic and comprehensive, covering both flight and ground op erations. The process began by shifting to renewable energy for the electricity supply of its major offices, and working on the potential use of sustainable aviation fuel to power its fleet.

PAL has tapped a Fili

pino scientist to help the firm achieve the net zero carbon emission goal.

Through the guidance of an expert, PAL aims to conduct comprehensive assessments of its overall greenhouse gas emissions and move toward full de carbonization.

“Being the country’s flag carrier, we recognize that our essential role in bridging our country and the rest of the world goes hand in hand with the need for climate action across international borders,” said PAL president Stanley Ng in a statement.

Energy firms told to deliver projects on time

By KRIS CRISMUNDO

MANILA – The Depart ment of Energy (DOE) on Friday urged companies to complete their generation and transmission projects on time to ensure adequate supply and delivery of power to consumers.

During the Virtual En ergy Investment Forum,

DOE Director Irma Ex conde said delays in the completion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects and transmission projects, as well as non-compliance with the agency’s policy on the maintenance schedule of power plants, remain a challenge to the country’s power supply.

These challenges are on top of the depleting reserves of the Malampaya gas field and the continued high fuel prices in the global market, especially coal, which has the largest share in power capacity and generation mix.

For instance, Exconde said, the Luzon grid may

experience 17 yellow alerts and three red alerts next year if the 1,200-megawatt (MW) Ilijan gas power plant would not resume its operation in time for the summer period.

A yellow alert is declared when reserves fall below ideal levels, while a red alert is when reserves breach

DA gives P1.2-M support to DavOr’s coffee industry

By CHE PALICTE

DAVAO CITY – The De partment of Agriculture’s Philippine Rural Develop ment Project (DA-PRDP) handed over PHP1.2 million in support funds to boost Davao Oriental province’s coffee industry.

In a statement Thursday, DA-PRDP said the amount will fund the “Coffee Ad vancement for Productivity and Industry Development in the Province of Davao Oriental” convergence proj ect under I-PLAN Subcom ponent 1.2.

“The I-PLAN subcom ponent 1.2 provides support for training, research, and coordination for different priority commodities,” the DA-PRDP said.

The fund was given dur ing Mati City’s Investment Conference 2022 (Mati Con2022) on Wednesday. The undertaking was an off-shoot of the recent Phil ippine Coffee Expo where enablers and industry part ners were linked with one another.

According to the Phil ippine Statistics Author ity, Davao Oriental ranked second in the Davao region as the highest coffee-pro ducing province in terms of volume.

“The convergence initia tive aims to support and cre ate market linkages for the province as well as create the branding of Davao Oriental

coffee that would associate it to the Mt. Hamiguitan ranges similar to how Mt. Apo has been associated with Davao del Sur’s coffee,” the DA-PRDP said.

The technical support that will be funded by DAPRDP in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) aims to harness the potential and collaboration among the coffee farmers, proces sors, and enablers in Davao Oriental through capacitybuilding activities.

“This will also generate more convergence support with other enablers for cof fee including the provincial local government, state, other government line agen

cies, Coffee Council, and private sectors,” the state ment said.

As a way forward, DAPRDP said it will draft a memorandum of agree ment with DTI, the Tech nical Education and Skills Development Authority, the Department of Sci ence and Technology, and the provincial government, among others, to formalize the partnership and col laboration.

The MatiCon 2022 is an event organized by DTI with Mati City focusing on investment priorities of the province such as poultry, fish port, bamboo, agribusiness, and tourism for participants. ( PNA )

GSIS maintains ISO certification

STATE pension fund Gov ernment Service Insurance System (GSIS) maintained its International Organiza tion for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2015 certifica tion for its major processes for seven straight years fol lowing the audit by TÜV Rheinland Philippines Inc. (TUV-R) today.

“We are happy to share this piece of good news with our members, pensioners, and other stakeholders. With the ISO seal of ap proval, our members and pensioners can be assured of world-class service from GSIS when they transact with us. Our clients deserve nothing less,” GSIS president and general manager Wick Veloso announced.

“Congratulations to the men and women of GSIS. Their consistent adherence to world-class standards shows that our core values of service excellence, integ

rity, and professionalism are deeply ingrained in our employees,” PGM Veloso added.

A total of nine major GSIS processes were recer tified consisting of loans processing, membership administration, maturity claims, funeral benefit claims, motor vehicle claims, data center facilities man agement, marketing process for renewal of bidding ac counts for nonlife insur ance, renewal of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office surety bonds, and releasing of notice to claim trans fer certificate of title for non-problematic fully-paid housing accounts.

An ISO 9001:2015 certi fication shows a company’s capability to consistently serve the needs of its client and comply with legal and regulatory requirements. Through the implementa tion of a quality manage

ment system, the certifica tion safeguards customer satisfaction.

TUV-R, one of the leading third party ISOcertifying bodies in the country, recommended the ISO recertification of GSIS processes this year. The audit was conducted onsite for the first time after the pandemic. It was held at the GSIS headquarters in Pasay City. The audit was conducted online in 2020 and 2021.

GSIS initially obtained its first ISO certification in 2015 when the certifying body conferred the ISO 9001:2008 for the pension fund’s quality management system (QMS) on loans processing.

In 2016, GSIS gained ISO recertification for its loans processing system under the updated ver sion, ISO 9001:2015. On the same year, the scope of

that met with French legis lators in Paris on Tuesday.

“One of the many advo cacies and issues that bond France and the Philippines is the Paris Agreement. Being number one in the World Risk Index, as the most vul nerable nation in the world, we value our ratification of the Paris Accord in 2015,” Legarda said.

The World Risk Index 2022 report released in Sep tember ranked the Phil ippines with the highest natural disaster risk among 193 nations.

India and Indonesia ranked second and third, followed by Colombia and Mexico.

“Floods, heat waves and droughts are increasing seri ously, and climate change is also having a massive impact on the assessment of risks. For a country’s risk of an ex treme natural event turning into a disaster, natural and climate-related exposure forms the first part of the equation,” explained Peter Mucke, project manager of the World Risk Report 2022.

Legarda urged the Euro pean Union (EU) to increase its National Determined Contributions, the climate action plans submitted by nations, to lessen the im pact of climate change on vulnerable countries such as the Philippines.

The EU has committed to decrease greenhouse gas emissions by its members by 2030 and produce net zero emissions by 2050, accord ing to the World Bank.

It also said that 76 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions are coming from China, the United States, and the EU. ( With a

The minimum public health standards will con tinue to be strictly enforced.

The EO also directs the Department of Health to update the MPHS guide lines.

Marcos, meanwhile, encouraged provinces, highly-urbanized cities, independent component cities, and municipalities with low-risk classification but Alert Level 2 status to meet vaccination targets to undertake efforts in ex panding their vaccination and booster coverage.

In September, Marcos signed EO 3, allowing the voluntary wearing of face masks in outdoor settings, particularly in open spaces and non-crowded areas with good ventilation. ( PNA )

The Philippines also called for skills develop ment through technical vocational education and training (TVET) systems that promote innovation through ICT, digitalization, and social equity, emphasiz ing skills upgrading in micro and small enterprises and for lower-skilled workers and rural communities.

To achieve this goal, Secretary Laguesma empha sized the need to establish

a common skills standards and mutual skills recogni tion, efficient and integrated labor market information and portable social protec tion, and the reorientation of TVET to meet the rapidly changing skills requirements of industries.

ASEAN labor ministers agreed that strengthening these priorities would fa cilitate the movement and employability of workers in the ASEAN region across sectors and borders.

The discussions and agreements are recorded in a joint communique ad opted by the labor ministers in the meeting.

from the Forests.”

If, at all, we have to own these essentials, i.e., land, for est, water, etc. it must follow the moral tenet that the users should be the owners. Our lumads had “owned” the forest for hundreds, if not, thousands of years, and have used them sustainably with high reverence to nature. Our agricultural lands, when not owned by the communities, are subjected to tremendous amount of poisonous chemicals which have destroyed their natural fertility. Our water utility (COWD) has a production loss of about fifty per cent. When owned by the consumers themselves, such losses will be significantly reduced because the owner-consumers will not allow that to happen simply because they have the sense of ownership.

This is also true to elec tricity. The so-called electric cooperatives must reckon with the fact that the memberconsumers are really the own ers because of their monthly payment of two items: 1) amortization of loans and 2) reinvestment. These items when computed will reach tens of thousand of pesos per member-consumer, yet no patronage credits were issued to them.

It has become imperative for all of us to rectify social wrongs which are being inflicted upon the people. Following the principle of transparency and accountability, the people have the right to know. Why have we lost our ecological integrity which is now caus ing horrible environmental disasters? Who were those who have amassed so much from selling the bounty of the forests? Why are the oligarchs masquerading as Electric Co operatives when the ECs are cooperatives in name only as decided by the Supreme Court penned by Justice Mariano del Castillo in 2003?

All told, we have to question the dominant development paradigm that subject every thing, including those which are means to life, to the com merce of men or women and even to greed, moderate or otherwise, Just like the Indian Chief Seattle, we have to start asking questions, poetically or otherwise.

According to Meralco Chief Sustainability Officer Raymond Ravelo during the recently concluded 10th Philippine EV Summit, new models now are able to reach over 800 kilometers on a single charge -- roughly the distance between Pasay City and Banaue, Ifugao, and back, whereas EVs could barely run 100 kilometers on a full charge a decade ago.

In addition, Ravelo says that EVs have improved greatly, especially as lithium-ion bat tery pack prices are now down by already 90 percent from over $1,200 per kWh in 2010 to just around $130 last year. This has consequently driven down the price of an EV with a comparable range to almost a third of price points a decade ago.

Compared to neighboring countries such as Thailand and Singapore, the Philippines’ de velopment of the EV industry is still relatively slow. This is where government participa tion plays a very crucial role.

EV industry acceleration will happen given enough

government support through policies as well as the provi sion of subsidies or incentives. Manufacturers will be encour aged to ramp up production, thereby bringing down the prices and generating more jobs.

Just as the whole world goes in the same direction, EV adoption in the Philip pines is inevitable -- it is just a matter of when. Best that we adapt early on, and educate ourselves and others on the benefits of an electrified and green future.

the groundbreaking of SIDC project was “inspiring”.

Santos said the President mentioned his administration’s commitment to become a link that bridges gaps between people in reference to the construction of the highlyanticipated bridge project.

“Nakaka-inspire ang sinabi ng Presidente. Diba, sabi nya yung bridge daw parang sim bolo ng administration nya na gustong mag bridge ng gaps… Pwede bang maging bahagi tayo ng promise nayon? (What the President said was inspir ing. He said that the bridge is a symbol of his administration’s desire to bridge gaps… Can we be part of that promise?),” she said.

Santos added they are hop ing that the bridge project of the national government would bridge gaps instead of create more divisions.

SIDC, popularly known as Samal-Davao bridge project, costs P23 billion, of which P19.3 billion was loaned from the Chinese government.

Marcos led the ground breaking for the bridge proj ect on Thursday with Vice President Sara Duterte and other key cabinet officials at the Damosa Land Property in Barangay Hizon.

The President said the bridge affirmed his admin istration’s “commitment and resolve to become a sturdy and purposeful link that bridges gaps between physical and geographical barriers, but also the various social structures that need to be connected and fortified as one.”

“Regardless of our indi vidual strengths or merits, we will achieve nothing if we continue to permit divisions

that halt us from connecting with each other,” he said.

A 100-page description of SIDC project published on the website of the Environmental Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources says the land portion of the bridge will fall on the coast of Costa Marina Beach Resort, which is adjacent to Paradise Island Park & Beach Resort in Baran gay Caliclic, Babak District of Samal Island and on some residential and industrial areas in Barangay Hizon in Davao City.

Paradise Reef, a 300-meter contiguous reef situated on the coast of the two resorts, is regarded as a “hidden treasure of Samal” that, conservation ists say, is an important gene bank of marine creatures.

Yuan Xiao Cong, deputy general manager of the stateowned China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), told reporters that the construction of the project will be completed in five years.

The CRBC has been se lected as the contractor for the project.

Yuan said the contractor has been conducting a geotechni cal survey since September 1 while the actual civil works on the bridge are expected to start in February 2023.

Environment groups, in cluding the Rodriguez and Lucas families, operator of the two resorts, opposed the alignment of the bridge project, saying it will destroy Paradise Reef.

Santos urged the govern ment to consider other sites for the alignment of the DavaoSamal bridge.

She said 100-year-old corals would be destroyed if the cur rent alignment pushes through.

Environment groups would seek legal relief to bar the con struction of the bridge if the government pushes through with the current alignment, she said.

Atty. Romeo Cabarde Jr., of the Ateneo Public Legal Assistance, added they would exhaust all other possible rem edies before they would pro ceed with court action.

“As to the legal plan, we have it all in place. As we say, we always use the legal battle

as the last resort, so we are exhausting all possible rem edies we could. If push comes to shove, we will get our legal arsenal ready, so I think we are gearing towards that because we’re not getting any positive response,” he said.

He added that another strategy being explored is to convince the City Council of Davao to reconsider their resolution on the issuance of the “certificate of no objection.”

“At the time they released a resolution of no objection, the presentation of the project was still very broad because they are saying we are not objecting to the idea of having a bridge between Davao and Samal. But as to the specific location, they do not have a certificate of objection to that,” he added.

He said environment groups are likewise reaching out to the local council of the Island Garden City of Samal.

“If we win in this battle that we are preparing, then it is good for us and the en vironment. But if we lose, it’s totally a loss for the environ ment and it’s a loss for PBBM’s (President Bongbong Marcos) administration, because he kept on harping on climate change as his priority but what the project is doing is you are removing the carbon sink of the ocean, the forest of the ocean,” he said.

He said he could not rec oncile the idea of Marcos pri oritizing climate change while his administration is pursuing projects that aggravate its impact. ( Antonio L. Colina IV/MindaNews )
