During her live interview over Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR 87.5), Mayor Sara Duterte said that that the use of this food supplement will be on “voluntary” basis after receiving a sup-

ply of organic VCO from Cotabato-based TreeLife, owned by businessman Jerry Taray, through William Lima, who is a special envoy to China. “This is not mandatory…

VCO is not endorsed by the City Government of Davao. It is made available by a third party to our patients there in TTMFs. It is accessible to them if they want,” she said. She said the donor of the VCO was referred to the City Health Office to start the “voluntary use” of the food supplement among the willing COVID-19 patients after the local government was assured that the product has been accredited by the Food and Drug Administration. Results of a study funded

by the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD) showed that compounds from the VCO, a “potential antiviral agent against COVID-19”, decreased coronavirus count by 60-90% at low viral load. The agency added that VCO reportedly helped reduce the symptoms of probable and suspect COVID-19 cases. In “The Potential of Coconut Oil and its Derivatives as Effective and Safe See ALLOWS, page 15

She said that the passengers chose to fake the virus test results hoping to avoid getting swabbed at the DIA. “These people are really very dangerous because, the fact that they did not want to submit themselves for testing, we would never know if they are asymptomatic.

The Role of Parents on Children’s Education By: MARY ANN B. MANLA

The role of parents on children's education during pandemic outbreaks is something that has been discussed at length. However, there are many other places where a situation like this would arise and it is important for all concerned to do their best. It is important for parents to monitor what their children are learning in school. They should also be very keen to

notice any changes in their child or in another student in any way. When parents do not see any improvement, they must consult their children's teachers about the matter and see if anything can be done. There is no argument that the best education a child can get is in a traditional school where their parents can be part of the decision making process. However, the cost of running such schools can sometimes be prohibitive. A smaller rural private school may be able to provide all the amenities that would be required and can save money. The other option available to parents is to send their children to home schooling. Although home schooling is very beneficial to all concerned, the role of parents in this aspect of their children's education needs to be carefully monitored. Parents play an important role during children's education. They are their

children's primary educators. The education they give is usually determined by the role of parents in their child's life. It is up to the parents themselves to make sure that all educational standards are met, and that they get in touch with the school to make sure that the school is providing a high-quality education. The role of parents on children's education is determined by the environment the children live in as well as the home they grow up in. There are many ways parents can ensure that their children have the best possible start in life. One of the best ways is to teach them about the importance of education, and how to choose the right path for their future. By doing so, parents ensure that their children have a bright future, and that they will be able to receive all of the assistance and instruction they need to get through their educational years.

confirmed cases. While circumstances may have forced people to be physically distant, the pandemic has spurred people and organizations to come together and collaborate more closely than ever before. An example of this is the public-private partnership between AboitizPower subsidiary Therma South, Inc. (TSI), Aboitiz Foundation, Inc. with the Provincial Government of Davao del Sur to improve the facilities of Davao del Sur Provincial Hospital (DSPH). DSPH, wracked by both strong earthquakes in 2019 and then the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, is one of the largest government hospitals in the area, catering to patients even from outside Davao del Sur. As a part of Year 1 of a 3-year program for the Hospital, TSI donated a semi-permanent triage, public address system, and voiceover internet phone (VoIP) communication system to help reduce foot traffic within and

around the Hospital, thereby minimizing the risks of exposure to communicable diseases. These projects were identified with the help of the Provincial Health Office headed by Dr. Jonna Masongsong. For the course of three years, TSI will be working together with the Province to identify priority projects to support the improvement of quality healthcare in Davao del Sur. “The Provincial Government of Davao del Sur extends our gratitude to Therma South and Aboitiz Foundation because in the course of this 3-year program, Davao del Sur Provincial Hospital will receive six million worth of projects from them. That is already a big help to the hospital and the Province of Davao del Sur,” said Vice Governor Marc Douglas Cagas during the turnover ceremony last December 9, 2020.

Muntinlupa, as an independent municipality, turned 103 years last Saturday and Muntinlupa officials marked the event with a very subdued celebration. During a flag ceremony last Saturday, Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi, saying “we are living in unprecedented times”, reported on the various initiatives taken by the city government to meet the COVID emergency. Fresnedi thanked the city council led by Vice Mayor Artemio A. Simundac for immediately passing the enabling legislations to help the city face the health threat, including realigning the city’s P1.2 billion budget, passing ordinances relative to the observance of health protocols, and extending tax payment deadlines. The city mayor also reported the completion/ execution of the following projects: purchase of testing kits, establishment of swabbing centers, quarantine facilities, a molecular laboratory at Ospital ng Muntinlupa, and additional isolation facility in Filinvest Alabang. During the period, the city distributed 626,750 relief packages to the most affected families and other forms of “ayuda” and “stimulus packages” to displaced tricycle and jeepney drivers, daily wage earners, parlor

and massage employees, senior citizens, PWDs. In cooperation, with DOLE and the office of Congressman Ruffy Biazon, the city also provided 6,561 emergency employment. The city government continued to lend from P2,000 to P100,000, at no interest, to qualified self-employed micro-entrepreneurs. Subject to the observance of proper work protocol, the construction of the following education buildings continued: Senior High School Building in Lakeview Integrated School, Senior High School building in Poblacion National High School, 2 senior high school buildings in Barangay Sucat, a 6 -storey building in Colegio de Muntinlupa, a life skills center at the Schools Division Office, a covered court each in Alabang Elementary School, Tunasan National High School and Muntinlupa Elementary School. Health-related and other constructions are in various stages of completion as follows: Lakeview Health Center, expansion of Ospital ng Muntinlupa, employee housing in Lakeview, renovation of the Muntinlupa City Public Market in Alabang, central records storage building in Pacwood, Tunasan and the Track and Field and Aquatic Center

Ignacio Bunye

at the Muntinlupa Sports Complex. Despite its own problems, Muntinlupa City extended relief assistance to Catanduanes, Albay, Camarines Sur, Batangas, Oriental Mindoro, Cagayan, Marikina City, Baggao and Solana in Cagayan during the recent typhoons. Not bad for this centenarian plus 3 which was recently adjudged as one of 5 most dynamic cities in the Philippines. Meanwhile, Fresnedi thanked the following for their invaluable assistance to Muntinlupa: Vice President Leni Robredo - for her Community Mart Program which has benefitted tricycle drivers and for her donation of 5,256 COVID 19 PCR test kits; Transportation Secretary Art Tugade - designated by President Duterte as “Big Brother” for Muntinlupa – for a donation of one ambulance; and DPWH Secretary Mark Villar – for the construction of a “We Heal As One” Center in Pacwood, Tunasan and an isolation facility in Filinvest See BUNYE, page 15

Hints and Traces

In haste to serve THAT heartwarming story of Mary immediately going to see her cousin Elizabeth once she knew the cousin was already with child, teaches us a very precious lesson about the beauty of serving and avoiding any trace of entitlement and privilege despite a great blessing and honor given to her. (cfr. Lk 1, 39-45) In that gospel episode, it is mentioned that Mary went “in haste.” She just learned that she was going to be the mother of the Son of God, the highest dignity any human person could have, but that knowledge did not go into her head. Instead, she rushed to visit her cousin to help her in her difficult condition since Elizabeth was already old and it would be her first time to bear a child. It is an example worth emulating by everyone, for it is clearly what is proper to us. A truly good person, a holy one so close and identified with God, would be quick to serve everybody else, because that is simply the expression of love. Love is always a matter of deeds and service, and not just sweet words and good intentions. This eagerness to serve would really identify us with

Christ who is our “way, truth and life.” He being God became man to save us, the greatest service anyone can do. And all throughout his earthly life, serving was the constant rule that he followed. He was always at the beck and call of anyone who had need of something. Definitely, to be able to serve, one has to be humble. And that’s what we see in our Lady, and of course, in Christ, first of all. Pride and all its allies would always extinguish any desire to serve others. They only are interested in serving their own selves. We need to humble ourselves so that we can serve everyone, and not just those whom we like. We have to serve even those whom we don’t like and who may not like us. If we are truly humble, our spirit of service would not make any discrimination among the people. We would serve everyone, whether they deserve to be served or not. A Christian and Marian spirit of service would neither give rise in us to a certain sense of entitlement and privilege because of whatever claim of authority or superiority we may have over others. Let’s remember that

Roy Cimagala

Christ himself emptied himself completely up to offering his life on the cross to serve the salvation of mankind. He never felt entitled by the mere fact that he is the Son of God, and God himself. (cfr. Phil 2,7) He never went about his mission with an overbearing presence. He knew how to hide and disappear while fulfilling his most important mission on earth. The same with Mary, St. Joseph and all the saints. Their interest was purely to serve and doing it gratuitously, not counting the cost nor expecting any reward. They did it with joy in spite of the sacrifices involved. Let us learn to serve God and everybody else with all our heart. This way, we would effectively become more and more identified with Christ who is the pattern of our humanity. It is also this way that we can find our true joy, and our true self !

Skipping passion for safety:

An old lantern maker’s tale By MARITA MOAJE, PNA

MANILA – While the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic may have caused a negative impact on everyone’s lives, it sure taught an old man to make an unselfish gesture of skipping tradition, giving way, hold his passion, and take a back seat. This year, Efren Tiodin resisted and finally decided to restrain himself from joining Pampanga’s Giant Lantern Festival for this year, thinking of the health and welfare, not of himself, but of the people whom he works with. “Ayaw kong magsimula sa akin, baka sa akin magsimula yung pandemic dito sa Pampanga o kaya merong magkaroon ng pandemic sa mga tauhan ko, yun ang iniiwasan ko (I don’t want it to start from me, I fear that an outbreak in Pampanga may start from me or somebody that works with me gets infected, that is what I am trying to avoid),” said Tiodin during an interview with the Philippine News Agency. Tiodin is a known giant lantern maker in San Fernando who never missed a year in joining the Giant

Lantern Festival. For 37 years, he continuously shared his passion and talent in designing and participating in building the giant lantern. He said he started with commercial lantern-making back when he was in high school when he was 13 years old out of pure passion. It later became his bread and butter. From then on, he tried to learn more of the craft and develop his skill, learning from the senior craftsmen of their town. However, things turned out differently for Tiodin this year as strict health protocols and the concern he has for his co-workers pushed him to skip the tradition. Tiodin admits that while observing the younger generation as they build their lanterns, he still feels a bit of envy in his heart. However, Tiodin said he has no regrets and feels happy that these young people in their area have learned the craft well and can continue the tradition despite the Covid-19 pandemic.

School Challenges amidst Covid-19 Pandemic By: DR. RAUL DECHOSA, Principal II

Many challenges that public school system has been facing amidst Covid-19 pandemic. Firstly, is the school-operating budget allocated annually where more or less eighty percent (80%) of it were utilized for module reproduction. Good news is DepEd Cagayan de Oro City has introduced two other sources of funds to help the module reproduction; the Central Office Funds and the City Government-School Education Funds (SEF) that greatly contribute to the success of the module reproduction process among the seventy-five (75) public elementary schools and forty (40) public secondary schools of Cagayan de Oro City. Secondly, is the challenges in delivering quality basic education to our constituents hence the usual face-to-face teaching-learning process is still disallowed by the government because of the threat of Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the approved Learning Continuity Plan (LCP) of Upper Carmen Elementary School, West I District, Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City and upon the thorough consultation of the school stakeholders, PTA officials and concerned parents during the opening of classes, Modular Distance Learning (MDL) has been the flagship teaching-learning platform of the school. Roughly eighty percent (80%) of the parents during the consultation, have no access to internet connectivity and no available desktop/laptop gadgets hence, Online Distance Learning (ODL) is hard to implement. In addition, more or less fifty percent (50%) of them have no television set and/or radio to access the DepEd sponsored educational programs hence, only few of the learners in the school have access to the said programs. Although MDL is limited to paper

and pencil, Upper Carmen Elementary School teachers are doing extra mile in delivering quality education to the learners. Teachers are doing follow up teaching and assessment through online platform for those with gadgets and internet connection. Teachers are doing in-house printing of Activity Sheets so that one hundred percent (100%) of the learners from Kindergarten to Grade Six will have the chance to participate and interact with lesson by answering the Formative and Summative Test and Activity Sheets. Our “special acknowledgment” to Carmen Barangay Council for sponsoring 130 reams of coupon band, and Uptown Eagles Club for the printers and reams of coupon band. However, the teaching personnel as well as the school head of Upper Carmen Elementary School are inspiring all parents to supervise and assist their respective children in accomplishing the Activity Sheets attached in the modules across subject areas rather than answering it by themselves whereby quality learning among pupils maybe compromised. Every grade level advisers are giving their contact numbers as well as the school hotline number so that parents who have hard time to understand educational concepts shall have the access for query and explanation. The school is planning to conceptualize and submit to authorities an innovation on Reading Intervention in the midst of pandemic that in spite of the remote teaching or absence of the face-to-face learning; our teachers shall be able to deliver quality basic education and improved reading performance among learners during the second quarter of the school year 2020-2021.

simpleng pamumuhay lang pwede kang magparol sa bahay pero noon pag me nakasabit na parol siguradong mayaman yan. Mga mayayaman lang ang nakakapagpagawa ng parol (During those times, if someone has a lantern in his house,

Andanar lauds Agusan Canyon SK’s ‘Paskong Pilipino’ amidst the pandemic M

By RUBY LEONORA R. BALISTOY, PIA

A L AY B A L AY C I T Y, Bu k i d non-- Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar lauded the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) of barangay Agusan Canyon in Manolo Fortich town for initiating the ‘Paskong Pilipino’ celebration to keep the spirit of Christmas alive even in the era of social distancing and stay-at-home policy. Yendi Cachapero, Agusan Canyon SK president said they continue to serve without interruption since the pandemic began. She bared that many of them are grappling with how to be there for each other when they can’t be near each other this Yuletide. “We see our youths’ struggle in fighting this COVID-19. So we designed

some activities that would enliven our youths and share their talents while adhering to minimum health safety protocols like ‘BIDA Solusyon’. We crafted a competition on Christmas tree making and Lantern-making using lots of recyclable stuff. Online caroling also form part of the contest,” Cachapero said in an interview with the Secretary during CORDS X Podcast aired over Northern Mindanao radio stations and shared across PCOO’s digital platforms. The young leader also shared that plastic wastes increased during lockdown. Thus, they came up with the ‘Ecobricking and Vegetable gardening’ contest to perk up young people to stay productive while COVID-19 keeps families homebound this holiday season.

She e x pl ai ne d t hat Ecobrick is made up of recovered plastic inside recyclable bottles—economical alternative for making furniture, garden walls and other structures. The Agusan Canyon SK is opposed to the throwaway culture that is causing harm to the natural world, but it

is important to remember that plastic is also a highly useful material, she pointed out. Aimed at raising awareness of the consequences of consumption and the dangers of plastic, she said their project encourages communities to take collective responsibility for

SME Owners Need Telehealth Now More than Ever to Protect Businesses

WITH the steady rise of COVID-19 cases, medical and pharmaceutical services have never been more important. However, going to clinics and seeing doctors in person may pose risks. Many Filipinos are anxious, especially those who may need to see a doctor during this pandemic. The pandemic has been a driving force to many digital innovations in the world, including telehealth. Globe myBusiness recognizes the need of its SME customers to provide health benefits to their businesses’ employees and as such, partnered with KonsultaMD, the country’s pioneer in telehealth. It con-

ducted an online seminar to enable entrepreneurs to explore benefit options for their employees’ health. The webinar entitled Telehealth in the PH: Protecting Your Business and Your Employees aimed to help entrepreneurs take care of the health conditions of their employees. The online event featured a powerhouse of resource speakers from the Department of Health (DOH), KonsultaMD, and Globe Telecom, and was moderated by Apple Mendoza. The first speaker was Dra. Beverly Ho, Director IV at the DOH, who discussed the basics of tele-

their plastic wastes and devise ways for a blissful Christmas. These initiatives, she said, are crucial in promoting social cohesion and addressing loneliness and anxiety with the sudden shift of students’ learning from classrooms to homes. “This Christmas sea-

son, we forge ahead in a remote capacity—via social media—in sharing ideas to safely connect with our neighbors and offer assistance, in our own little way, to those most affected by the pandemic. We want to exemplify the Filipino youths’ traits that things must not fall apart despite the rippling effects of the recent chain of disasters. We want to prove that we [Filipinos] are resilient,” she added. Secretary Andanar, the designated Cabinet Officer for Regional Development and Security of Northern Mindanao (CORDS X), meanwhile, commended the youths’ efforts in swiftly stepping in to disseminate information among their peers and help contain the coronavirus’ spread while safely spending Paskong Pilipino the ‘SK way’.

medicine and how the need for it has been accelerated by the COVID pandemic. She defined the concept as delivering healthcare at a distance through telecommunication or digital means. The need for telemedicine comes from the DOH’s goal of bringing Universal Health Care (UHC) to Filipinos, which is a combination of better health outcomes, responsive health system, and financial risk protection. Telemedicine, then, contributes to the goal by improving access to services, maximizing available resources, and coordinating end-to-end service delivery across fa-

cilities. She then gave a brief history of the concept, and discussed the remaining challenges we face today with regard to telehealth. All in all, she painted a clear picture of where the Philippines is in terms of telehealth services, what milestones our country has already achieved, and how things could still improve. Following Dra. Ho was Alfie Paulino, Sales Manager of Globe Telehealth Inc. She discussed how, KonsultaMD, a subsidiary of the Ayala Group under 0917 Ventures, can help Filipinos.

MANILA – The Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) reported Wednesday that the national government’s budget deficit for the first 11 months of the year reached PHP1.069 trillion due to higher government spending while revenue collection was lower than last year. Budget gap from January to November this year was more than double compared to the deficit in the same period in 2019 at PHP409.1 billion. For the first 11 months of the year, public spending grew 11.59 percent to PHP3.686 trillion for the government’s “various Covid-19 financial assistance and recovery measures”. “However, cumulative spending still fell short of the revised program for the period owing to the delayed implementation of some measures under the Bayanihan 2,” the BTr said. Year-to-date revenue collection, on the other hand, decreased to PHP2.618 trillion this year from PHP2.894

trillion in 2019. The BTr said despite the lower collection for the first 11 months of 2020, it breached the PHP2.5-trillion revised full-year target. For November 2020 alone, budget deficit increased to PHP128.3 billion as public spending rose 2.3 percent while government collection declined by 19.35 percent. “Revenue collection for the month slid by 19.35 percent or PHP59 billion year-over-year to PHP245.8 billion. Of the total, 96 percent or PHP235.9 billion was raised through taxes, while the remaining 4 percent or PHP9.9 billion was generated from non-tax collections,” BTr said in a statement. On the other hand, government expenditures rebounded in November amounting to PHP374.1 billion mainly due to subsidy releases for unconditional cash transfer program and other Covid-19-related assistance in line with the Bayanihan 2.

NAPC urges firmer resolve to rescue IPs from poverty

ecretary Noel K. Felongco of the National AntiPoverty Commission batted for a firmer resolve to rescue the country’s estimated 11.3 million indigenous peoples from the shackles of poverty.

The celebration marked the 23th anniversary of the passage of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997. The theme of this year’s IP celebration revolves around “Correcting Historical Injustices for Indigenous People’s Rights and Welfare.” “Yet as pressing as the theme is the need for concerned government agencies to heighten their commitment in ensuring that Indigenous Peoples will overcome poverty along with other basic sectors of Philippine

awareness and sustaining relentless efforts for the respect, recognition, promotion, protection, and fulfillment of the rights and well-being of the Philippine Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/IPs). “This year’s theme is testament to a desire to uplift the lives of our IP communities,” he said. “Hence, there is a need for all concerned to strengthen programs and to sustain projects that will address poverty.” Himself the son of

THE PARTNERSHIP. Hedcor and AFI sign a Memorandum of Agreement with the Barangay Local Government Units and representatives of the associations involved. (Hedcor-AboitizPower)

Hedcor, AFI boost livelihood of partner associations in Mindanao M A NOL O F ORTICH, Bu k i dnon—The pandemic that caused restrictions in mobility, limited transport of goods, and closing of markets has greatly affected livelihood of communities. As such, Hedcor—the run-ofriver hydropower arm of AboitizPower, finds value in helping its partner communities recover through livelihood assistance. In partnership with Aboitiz Foundation (AFI), Hedcor will aid in the imple-

mentation of the P450,000worth livelihood recovery program by providing Egg Machines to four different associations in Bukidnon and Davao del Sur. This initiative is part of “Restart: Aboitiz Foundation Recovery Program for Partner Cooperatives,” a bigger program of AFI that involves provision of in-kind donations (Re-Starter kits) and/or training to select cooperatives nationwide.

These egg machines are complete with ready-to-lay hens, as well as rearing cages with built-in feeding through a waterer. As such, it is named egg machine because it is able to produce eggs regularly within a period of 16 months. Hedcor and AFI have also carved an add-on to said livelihood assistance by covering a month’s supply

of Pilmico’s poultry feeds and necessary training to be conducted by Pilmico’s Animal Production Specialists to help recipient associations take better care of their poultry and maximize their yield. All these efforts are for the purpose of improving income through poultry and boosting small-scale ADJUDICATION BY SOLE HEIR

Alabang. Iwas Paputok Former Deputy Press Secretary and retired President/CEO of RPN 9 Robert Torres Rivera is urgently appealing to President Duterte to impose a total ban on firecrackers nationwide from Dec 24 to January 1. Some years back, Rivera was able to convince MMDA, through MMDA General Manager Robert Nacianceno, to issue a ban within Metro Manila. Rivera is hoping to relaunch IwasPaputok, (this time nationwide) and has

generated support from the Philippine Chamber of Commerce, Filipino Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Inc, Philippine Association of Real Estate Board (PAREB), the One San Mateo Business Club, and businessman Dave Cruz, Jr., among others. “In this time of the pandemic, we believe that our people need not add any more to the already over-crowded hospitals, overworked and burdened doctors, nurses, and medical staff to still set aside emergency rooms for the victims of fireworks,” Rivera said. Furthermore, “(The) the toxic fumes lingering on the air the days after the Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations are likewise very dangerous to the health not only of our senior citizens but also to children.” I join Secretary Rivera in this appeal to the President.

lantern festival gave him much satisfaction as it was his dream. “My passion is designing giant lanterns for exhibits. I was not after the prize money but for the honor, the recognition, and the chance to be able to leave a legacy,” said Tiodin in Filipino. During his younger years, Tiodin said his inspiration in making the lanterns are the older lantern craftsmen he was working with. But now that he is in his senior years, Tiodin said the younger ones have become his inspiration, on how they will follow in his footsteps. He said that he only hopes that the younger generation of Pampanga lantern craftsmen will be able to accomplish those that he was not able to do. This is the reason why, even if he did not join this year’s lantern festival, he does not hesitate to give his opinion and share whatever knowledge he has with the young lantern makers. “Wag kang magdamot sa iyong nalalaman I-share mo sa iba wag mong itago yun ang inspirasyon ko para sa mga bata (Do not be selfish with your knowledge, share it with others, that is my inspiration for the younger generations),” he said. This way, Tiodin said that the giant lantern festival

that started in Pampanga 112 years ago will continue in the generations to come. Right after he made the decision not to join this year’s festival, he immediately advised their barangay chairman about it. Funding for making a giant lantern entry comes from the barangay. He said that upon hearing his decision, their barangay chairperson decided not to join the festival and use the funds instead to assist their constituents. Having grown old in this craft, Tiodin said that the most essential ingredient in winning the festival is that a lantern must be able to transcend a message. Brighter message For this year, had Tiodin was given the chance, more than giving hope, his lanterns message would be “love one another”. Love, Tiodin said, would be able to help everyone surpass whatever difficulties we encounter in life. He proudly shared his masterpieces, his collection of all the designs he made for the past years. Beaming with pride that for 37 years, he made those, giving honor to their barangay. He plans to donate these to the city government when he finally retires from the craft. “Merry Christmas na lang siguro, sana maging maginwaha yung Christmas nila ngayon kahit na may pandemic, sana next year wala na yan (I wish you Merry Christmas and I hope that you have a nice celebration even with the pandemic, I hope everything gets better next year),” Tiodin said.

KonsultaMD would like to create a new normal for businesses by providing them with 24/7 access to local doctors anytime, anywhere, making it easier and more convenient for employees to stay healthy and engaged in their health care. On the side of the business owners, this means increased productivity, and accurate health services for the employees they value. It’s fair to note that they also have the lowest subscription rates in the market at only P1/ day. The value proposition behind all this is avoiding hospitals in the time of the pandemic and subsequently avoiding the risk of getting

infected. Additionally, not every symptom requires a visit to the doctor, so phoning in a consultation saves time, money and effort on the part of the patient, without skimping on accuracy and effectiveness. Finally, it allows people living in places where doctors cannot be physically present to still be able to consult with a physician, be it over the phone or online. Rounding up the panel of speakers was Nicola Ebrada, Industry Manager at Globe myBusiness. She enumerated the digital tools offered by Globe myBusiness to entrepreneurs, focusing on those that would improve resilience and augment business continuity. With solutions like the e-commerce platform Rush E-Store, the Facebook Ad Creator, the Rush Loyalty rewards system, the AMBER Automated SMS Blaster, the Virtual Private Cloud, Backup-as-a-Service, contactless payment through GCash, collaboration tools like Office 365 and GSuite, and various Cybersecurity or HR solutions, business owners can surely leverage on technology to overcome any limitations placed on their businesses by the pandemic. Overall, the event was educational and highly useful for the audience of entrepreneurs.
