In an interview, Piñol said the system involves the conveying of excess agricultural production of one area to places where these are in short supply, stabilizing prices for consumers while farmerproducers profit from their labor. “It's not the traditional barter system where people exchange commodities. This is more 'I buy your product, you buy mine.' What makes this different is that they have agreed on what to sell and what to buy back,’ he said. To test the system, Piñol said he is collaborating with Ramon Magsaysay Awardee Roberto "Ka Dodoy" Ballon

By the time this article comes out, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. will be on his first day in New York for his United Nations debut. As of now, details of his various side meetings are still up in the air, but it seems clear at this point that his schedule does set apart any specific occasion to meet US President Joe Biden. The latest news is that the two may meet at the reception hosted by the US President for all headsof-state that will arrive in New York for the UN meeting.
Based on the research study of Oxfam, the regime of one percent advancing corporate globalization through NeoLiberal Capitalism has produced gross inequities where the total wealth of one percent is greater than the combined assets of the ninety-nine percent of the world’s population. There is so much veneration to the profit motive that has already captured the mindset of all governments, all institutions, all universities and even of religious groups. As humanity has been buried in unbridled materialism and consumerism, there is so much denigration of spirituality. Indeed, Mother Earth has been sacrificed to the altar of greed and profit. It is in this context that it has become imperative to now have a paradigm shift towards social transformation.

Think a minute . . . Not long ago in America an exciting championship basketball game was played between New Rochelle and Yonkers High Schools. The New Rochelle team’s coach was Dan O’Brien. Yonkers was leading by one point with only a few seconds left to play. Then amazingly New Rochelle quickly brought the ball across the court for the final shot and a thrilling victory! But the crowd of fans was yelling and cheering so loudly that the referee could not hear the final buzzer.

and he returned the championship trophy.At a press conference the coach said: “Some have said that we should have kept quiet about it, because it was only a few seconds and it would not have changed the fact that we won. But we always must do what is honest and right. I told my team that people forget the scores of games, but they do not forget what you’re made of as a man.” You can be sure that every young man on that team will always remember the honest, courageous character of their coach and want to follow his strong example. The greatest honor and responsibility we have is to raise and teach the next generation well. It is up to us whether our children will become brave, honest, loving leaders and parents.

One of PBBM’s major goals -- ‘Expanding PH-US trade ties’ -- will be quite a challenge as the US is teetering on the brink of a major recession. However, PBBM may yet spin some surprises in his meetings with American businessmen whether in the US and those who already have businesses and investments in the Philippines.

As the referee was giving Coach O’Brien the bad news, the young timekeeper came over and said to Coach O’Brien: “Dad, I’m really sorry. But the time ran out just before your team made the winning basket.” His father, Coach O’Brien, smiled with satisfaction and said: “That’s okay, son. You did the right thing, and I’m so proud of you for it.” This father had taught his son well: “Always be honest—no matter what it costs you or what you can get away with.”There’s a similar true story of another basketball team of teenagers who came from behind to win their championship game. Then just a few days later, their coach was watching a film of the game and saw that an ineligible player was on the court for only a few seconds of the game. He immediately called the sports league authorities and reported his own team’s mistake and violation,

the Philippines’ ratification has been delayed by the political opposition and fears of farm imports.TheDepartment of Trade has insisted that the Philippine farm sector is amply protected in the RCEP agreement. Myanmar’s military government has been delayed in joining the RCEP due to the Philippines’ opposition to its participation.Whilethe UN remains important today to individual countries for the highest levels of international issues, much of the nitty-gritty of managing the affairs of regions and countries have to deal with these varied multilateral organizations and partnerships. While the Philippines should start direct involvement with these groupings, its top priority is to complete the ratification of RCEP and move on from the “study period” on imports the matter that the Dept. of Trade has studied for the past decade.

A separate meeting between PBBM and the US President could have significant reverberations as it would be interpreted as diluting our country’s foreign policy that has kept the Philippines “equidistant” from all the major world powers. Meeting only at a reception for other heads-of-state would diffuse any possible interpretation of a separate meeting between the presidents of the Philippines and the United States.

CIVIL ACTION NO. 080-07-2020 OF THE PHILIPPINES, Plaintiff, - for –- versus –
2. Pursuant to Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9511, plaintiff was granted a franchise to operate, manage and maintain, and in connection therewith, to engage in the business of conveying or transmitting electricity through a high-voltage back-bone system of interconnected transmission lines, substations and related facilities, systems operations, and other activities that are necessary to support the safe and reliable operation of a transmission system and to construct, install, finance, manage, improve, expand, operate, maintain, rehabilitate, repair and refurbish the present nationwide transmission system of the Republic of the Philippines.
WHEREFORE, premises considered, plaintiff most respectfully prays of this Honorable Court to:

By:
Machine copies of the BIR Zonal Valuation applicable to the subject property is attached and made integral parts of this complaint. As proof of payment of the cost of affected improvement, a copy of the Report on the Counts of Improvements and Acknowledgment Receipt signed by defendant Jaime L. Olmedo are also attached and made as integral parts of this complaint. The amount of Php318,033.01 received by defendant Jaime L. Olmedo includes an easement fee of Php21,747.60 that was mistakenly paid to him, albeit he is not entitled to receive the same as the property is covered by Section 112 of CA No. 141.
21. Section 2 of Rule 67 of the Revised Rules of Civil Procedure states that:
26. In a long line of cases and in accordance with OCA Circular No. 113-2019, once the above requirements are complied with it, it becomes the ministerial duty of the trial court to issue the writ of possession in favor of the plaintiff, without need of any further hearing. Therefore, the Honorable Court can already immediately issue to the plaintiff an order to take possession of the property and start the implementation of the project.27. However, since the subject property is covered by Section 112 of C.A. 141 and defendants are not entitled to compensation for the Affected Area-Easement of Right-of-Way, the provisional deposit representing the 100% BIR zonal value of the said affected area amounting to FIFTY-FOUR THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED SIXTY-NINE PESOS (Php54,369.00) should remain in custodial egis until this case is resolved with finality.28. Moreover, it must be emphasized that an expropriation proceeding is an action quasi in rem, wherein the fact that the owner of the property is made a party is not essentially indispensable insofar as it concerns the immediate taking of possession of the property and the preliminary determination of its value, including the amount to be deposited.
23. To comply with the deposit requirement, without prejudice to the applicability of Section 112 of CA No. 141, plaintiff shall deposit with the Honorable Court the total amount of FIFTY-SEVEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY-SIX PESOS (Php57,456.00), equivalent to 100% BIR zonal value of the total affected area of the subject property. Such total amount to be deposited by plaintiff includes the 100% BIR zonal value of the Affected Area-Easement of Right-of-Way amounting to Php54,369.00, which defendants are not entitled to receive by virtue of Section112 of CA 141, but plaintiff is willing to deposit only for purposes of issuance of writ of possession.
11. The property subject of this complaint is a parcel of land, identified as Lot No. 2412, PLS-13 situated in Brgy. Pange, Baroy, Lanao del Norte registered and declared for taxation purposes in the name of Corazon Valiente married to Espedito Valiente per Original Certificate of Title No. P-10578 and Tax Declaration No. H-130006(03), respectively.
3. Under Section 4 of the same law, plaintiff was granted the power of eminent domain, subject to the requirements of the Constitution and existing laws.
The Municipal Assessor of Baroy and/or Provincial Assessor of Lanao del Norte to cancel Tax Declaration No. H-130006 (03) and issue new and separate tax declaration in the name of plaintiff covering the portion of the subject property sought to be expropriated herein.
4. Plaintiff is engaged in the business of transmitting electric power from the generating plants of power producers to distributors. As such, plaintiff’s business is imbued with public interest.
31. Plaintiff intends to present three (3) witnesses, namely: a) Engr. Herminigildo D. Itoc, b) Engr. Nolito L. Notar, and c) Arthur J. Bongcawil, to establish, among others, NGCP’s authority to exercise the power of eminent domain, the propriety of its exercise in this case, and the bases for the determination of the just compensation. Copies of their Judicial Affidavits (with attached Exhibits “A” to “N”) are attached as Annexes C, D, and E and made as integral parts hereof. Plaintiff intends to present additional witnesses if necessary.

Plaintiff, National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), by counsel, respectfully states that:
16. Considering that plaintiff is a private corporation performing a public service, it is a quasi-public entity entitled to enforce such easement of right-of-way of up to 60 meters in width on the subject property without cost, except for the improvements that will be damaged by the17.project.As shown in the aforementioned said sketch plan, plaintiff’s project merely imposes a forty (40)-meter wide easement of right-ofway over the subject property, which is well within the sixty (60)-meter wide easement reserved under Section 112 of C.A. 141.

WHEREAS,
15. Such legal easement has been consistently recognized and applied by the Supreme Court in a long line of cases, where it ruled that a landowner whose property is subject to the legal easement imposed by Section 112 of C.A. 141 is not entitled to compensation for the portion thereof covered by the 60-meter easement of right-of-way, except only for the value of the existing improvements that will be affected.
WHEREAS,ORDERED.”Complaint reads:
24. Notwithstanding that R.A. 10752 does not specifically apply to plaintiff, it shall deposit the said amount with this Honorable Court consistent with the purpose of the said law and OCA Circular No. 113-2019 to simplify the deposit requirement in expropriation cases for the benefit of the defendants and in the interest of immediate implementation of projects intended to benefit the public.
5. To address the country’s growing power demand and ensure continuous, reliable and efficient power supply, there is a need to interconnect the three (3) major power grids of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao into a single national grid. Aside from the sharing of systems reserve, the interconnection will also help optimize utilization of indigenous energy resources such as natural gas in Luzon, geothermal in the Visayas and hydro in Mindanao. Owing to this necessity, plaintiff must immediately construct the transmission lines that will transmit power to distributors of electricity not only in Mindanao but also in Luzon and Visayas. This undertaking is for the use and benefit of the public and part of it is known as the MINDANAO-VISAYAS INTERCONNECTION PROJECT (MVIP), integral part of which is the KAUSWAGAN-LALA 230kV TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT (Project).

30. The purpose of summons in actions quasi in rem is not the acquisition of jurisdiction over the defendant but mainly to satisfy the constitutional requirement of due process. Since the issuance of writ of possession is ex-parte, ministerial, and non-litigious in nature, the issuance thereof, even prior to the service of summons, will not violate defendants’ right to due process as the same can be done even without defendants’ participation. Besides, the issuance of a writ of possession does not prevent defendants from raising objections to and defenses against the expropriation of their property.

24. Notwithstanding that R.A. 10752 does not specifically apply to plaintiff, it shall deposit the said amount with this Honorable Court consistent with the purpose of the said law and OCA Circular No. 113-2019 to simplify the deposit requirement in expropriation cases for the benefit of the defendants and in the interest of immediate implementation of projects intended to benefit the public.
2. Pursuant to Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9511, plaintiff was granted a franchise to operate, manage and maintain, and in connection therewith, to engage in the business of conveying or transmitting electricity through a high-voltage back-bone system of interconnected transmission lines, substations and related facilities, systems operations, and other activities that are necessary to support the safe and reliable operation of a transmission system and to construct, install, finance, manage, improve, expand, operate, maintain, rehabilitate, repair and refurbish the present nationwide transmission system of the Republic of the Philippines.

29. The purpose of summons in actions quasi in rem is not the acquisition of jurisdiction over the defendant but mainly to satisfy the constitutional requirement of due process. Since the issuance of writ of possession is ex-parte, ministerial, and non-litigious in nature, the issuance thereof, even prior to the service of summons, will not violate defendants’ right to due process as the same can be done even without defendants’ participation. Besides, the issuance of a writ of possession does not prevent defendants from raising objections to and defenses against the expropriation of their property.
23. To comply with the deposit requirement, without prejudice to the applicability of Section 112 of CA No. 141, plaintiff shall deposit with the Honorable Court the total amount of FIFTY-ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE PESOS (Php51,975.00), equivalent to 100% BIR zonal value of the total affected area of the subject property. Such total amount to be deposited by plaintiff includes the 100% BIR zonal value of the Affected Area-Easement of Right-of-Way amounting to Php47,475.00, which defendants are not entitled to receive by virtue of Section112 of CA 141, but plaintiff is willing to deposit only for purposes of issuance of writ of possession.
25. Upon deposit of the provisional amount, plaintiff would have fully complied with the requirements for the issuance of a writ of possession as mandated by law. In a long line of cases, the Supreme Court ruled that, once the above requirements are complied with it, it becomes the ministerial duty of the trial court to issue the writ of possession in favor of the plaintiff, without need of any further hearing. Therefore, the Honorable Court can already immediately issue to the plaintiff an order to take possession of the property and start the implementation of the26.project.However, since the subject property is covered by Section 112 of C.A. 141 and defendants are not entitled to compensation for the Affected Area-Easement of Right-of-Way, the provisional deposit representing the 100% BIR zonal value of the said affected area amounting to FIFTY-SEVEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE PESOS (Php47,475.00) should remain in custodial egis until the issue on the applicability of Section 112 of C.A. 141 in this case is resolved with finality.

Machine copies of the BIR Zonal Valuation applicable to the subject property is attached and made integral parts of this complaint. As proof of payment of the cost of affected improvement, a copy of the Report on the Counts of Improvements and Acknowledgment Receipt signed by defendant Jaime L.

“SEC. 2. Entry of plaintiff upon depositing value with authorized government depositary. – Upon the filing of the complaint or at any time thereafter and after due notice to the defendant, the plaintiff shall have the right to take or enter upon the possession of the real property involved if he deposits with the authorized government depositary an amount equivalent to the assessed value of the property for purposes of taxation to be held by such bank subject to the orders of the court. Such deposit shall be in money, unless in lieu thereof the court authorizes the deposit of a certificate of deposit of a government bank of the Republic of the Philippines payable on demand to the authorized government depositary.” [Emphasis supplied]
19. Plaintiff negotiated with defendants informing them of its intention to take immediate possession of Lot No. 2412, PLS-13 for the implementation of its project. Plaintiff likewise offered defendants the value of the improvements to be affected by its project and the acquisition cost for Affected Area-Tower Site. Defendant Terence Jake Olmedo, through Jaime Olmedo accepted the cost of improvements. However, no agreement was reached by the parties with respect to the affected portion of the subject property. Hence, plaintiff has no other recourse but to file the instant complaint.

A petition to rectify the entry in the certificate of live birth of Zachary Alexander C. Taylor relative to his paternity was filed by Kenneth Edward Taylor, alleging that he is married to respondent Almarie S. Cailing on July 3, 2020 but prior to their marriage, Almarie S. Cailing had an illegitimate son Zachary Alexander who was born in Cagayan de Oro City on June 14, 2017. Believing that Zachary Alexander is his son, petitioner executed an affidavit of acknowledgment of paternity on November 15, 2019. Hence, the certificate of live birth of Zachary Alexander was amended and the latter then used the name Zachary Alexander C. Taylor. Sometime in the first week of June 2022, respondent Almarie Cailing Taylor casually told petitioner that he might not be the biological father of the minor so that the spouses decided to have a DNA test to determine the child’s paternity. Petitioner however agreed that whatever will be the outcome of DNA test, he will remain to be the father of the child as he loved the child as his own. The DNA result showed that the minor child is not petitioner’s biological child. Hence, the instant petition.
