CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - Despite the economic blow from the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the regional per capita output in Northern Mindanao remained high, according to the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) 10 on Wednesday. At an online conference for the Regional Development Council-10 (RDC-10), Mylah Faye Aurora Cariño, NEDA-10 Director, said despite an overall downtrend, Northern Mindanao’s per capita output emerged as the second-highest among all regions, next to the National Capital Region, at PHP163,952 and even higher than the Philippines’

ROCKINGHAM, North Carolina—After a prolonged convalescence/vacation, I’m somewhat back in the grind of things as far as writing (and maybe an occasional FB broadcasting) is concerned. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m getting on in years just like anyone else and since the COVID-19 pandemic is still out there, I’ve got to be careful and exercise more. Anyway I hope most of you got vaccinated and didn’t contract the virus or its variants and that you’re making the most of your time indoors still keeping tabs with friends and the rest of the world online at the safety of your homes. The possibility of getting herd immunity in the Philippines particularly in

Cagayan de Oro City and Misamis Oriental isn’t remote as some people would like us to believe. One of the effects of this pandemic is the enforcement of travel restrictions to Filipinos going back home to the country of their birth. Their homecoming is an annual ritual they look forward to every year and that includes myself. No thanks to the pandemic, the reunions will have to be put on hold for now. In my case, I meet my friends of Tagoloan town, Misamis Oriental province online. But then there’s Alan Cagaanan and wife Alona who visited us on their way to visit their eldest son, an oncologist in New York. Alan is the elementary classmate of my younger

Susan Palmes-Dennis

sister Betty, now a Kiwi citizen. His sister Myrna, a Sangguniang Bayan (municipal board) secretary of Tagoloan town is the classmate of my sister Laura. But the most telling is his Mama Tiay Gaga, who’s the best friend of my late nanay (mother) and they worked together at Del Monte. Tioy Paterno, his late dad, was also a good friend of my late tatay (father). So you can see the bond between us so the days before their expected arrival I was ecstatic along with my husband Ronnie who loved Tagoloan town. When the couple arrived See MEMORIES, page 11

Unruffled

Shades of PH politics THERE is now a frantic declaration of presidential wannabes as the October 8 deadline draws near. Despite the still rampaging threat of Covid-19, the shades of politics has become the menu of the day on digital platform. Indeed it will be a lot of fun on the campaign trail amid the turbulent pandemic. That said, PH politics has taken us to an exciting ride this early as we get nearer to next year’s national election. And to dispel the thinking of political doomsayers, it’s not Isko, Ping, Leny, Bongbong nor Pacman who will land in Macanang. It will be Inday Sara, like it nor not. It’s still a Duterte who will reign supreme in the next six years, and even

beyond. Take note of the deafening silence on the side of Sara’s camp in Davao. Team Inday Sara is cooking something big and will surprise everyone in the coming days. With due respect to the early declaration of fellow Mindanaoan Manny Pacquaio, his mantra of leading this nation is nothing but a product of a series of nightmares in the ring, latest of which was his defeat to a Cuban fighter. He has the same hollowed mindset with VP Leny. A weakling in governance to say it upfront. With that, the opposition is having sleepless nights where and what party will they affiliate and eventually campaign against the well-entrenched DU30 and company.

Ruffy Magbanua

Indeed, PH politics is now brewing hot, regardless of the urgent need to get back to our toes and exigently address hunger, poverty and all the economic dislocations that Covid-19 pandemic has taken its deadly toll on us. These interwoven challenges brought about by the pandemic must be the number one in the list of priorities of the next President. And it must be responded with a sense of urgency because at stake here is the See SHADE, page 11

Kim’s Dream SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION

The imperative call of the times

THERE is now an increasing call for all Filipinos to participate and be vigilant in the forthcoming 2022 elections, to exercise their right of suffrage so that we can elect a transformative leader and not transactional. This is so because never in our history have we come to realize the urgency of changing a highly skewed societal order, aptly described by former chair of the Cooperative Development Authority, Sec. Roberto “Obet” Pagdanganan as, “where a few have much too much and the many who are poor have much too little,” adding further that if such great disparities continue, certainly “we will

be facing consequences horrible even to contemplate. Such horrible consequences are now manifested glaringly as dehumanizing poverty continues to waggle its ugly head making it a “theft to many a child’s dreams.” Indeed, Philippine elections have just become a “big circus”, so personality oriented as voters are choosing candidates with good looks, rich and powerful and supported by conglomerates, oligarchs and cartel as economic power begets political power.

height of the harvest season? Don’t you know that after the signing of the Asian Free Trade Agreement (AFTA) in 1997, no less than the King of Thailand took off his robe and crown and worked with the Thai farmers telling them not to use chemical fertilizers as such are too costly and kill the integrity of the soil. He told them not to use tractor as its CO2 emissions contribute to climate change. He said to use carabao because the waste of the carabaos will fertilizer the soil. So they were able to lower down See TIMES, page 11

Pacquiao apologizes to LGBTQ community By JOEL CALAMBA ESCOL Managing Editor

SARANGANI PROVINCE - The presidential aspirant Senator Manny Pacquiao apologized to the LGBTQ community, adding that he was only misquoted during an interview many years ago. Pacquiao, who has already pronounced his plan to run for president, has explained that, what he said was kind of spliced, that’s why it became a hate segment among the third sex organizations in the country. “Na-edit kasi masyado yung statement ko na yun.

Ang sinasabi ko palagi na hindi ko kino-condemn yong mga gay. mga LGBT. May mga pamangkin ako na LGBT, may mga workers ako na LGBT, sa bahay ko, o kahit na yung sa mga kapatid ko. As a person, hindi mo sabihin na galit ka sa kanya. Kinokondina mo sya. Who am I to judge a person,” he explained. Pacquiao said the LGBTQ people are even nice to be with and they are very smart and talented individuals. “Actually, mas maganda nga kaibigan, kasama, katrabaho yung mga LGBT, masi-

sipag at masaya. Magagaling sila mag isip tapos masisipag, ganyan,” the senator added. Pacman’s comments many years ago were again renewed on social media when Pacquiao announced his plan to run for president. This, as actor-director John Lapus seems indirectly slammed presidential aspirant Manny Pacquiao, citing his previous commentary comparing the third sex to animals. Lapus, in his twitter tweet said, “Mga bakla! Wag kalimutan. Sinabihan tayo nyan See APOLOGIZES, page 10

Cebu Pacific all set for domestic travel recovery in Q4 Supports Department of Tourism push for local tourism and responsible travel

DTI eyes hiking biz operation capacity in October By KRIS CRISMUNDO

MANILA – Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez said the agency is considering increasing the allowed operation capacity of businesses in areas that will be under Alert Level 4 next month. This, as the pilot week of the alert level system in Metro Manila has been a “good start” and “safe”, Lopez said in an interview with CNN Philippines Wednesday. “We consider bringing operation capacity up from 10 percent to 20 percent because it is deemed safe, and customers are highly complying (with the protocols). It makes sense to give a little more support on this protocol,” he said in mixed English and Filipino. He added this could start by October, after the last day of Alert Level 4 status in Metro Manila. Metro Manila is currently under the new alert level See EYES, page 8

CEBU Pacific (PSE: CEB) will increase its flights in October to tourism havens Siargao, Boracay, and Bohol as the country’s leading airline push for domestic travel recovery, following the easing of quarantine restrictions. In October, the airline will expand its flights to Siargao from five times to six times weekly; raise its frequencies to Boracay from four to five times daily; and bump up flights to Bohol from nine to 10 times weekly. “We believe reopening domestic travel and the promotion of responsible

travel is critical to rebuilding the trust and travel confidence in the industry,” said Candice Iyog, Vice President for Marketing and Customer Experience at Cebu Pacific. “We also know that the situation continues to be fluid, that is why we make it a priority to always make travel convenient for everyJuan, on top of providing the much-needed flexibility during this time,” added Iyog. For international destinations, Cebu Pacific will also resume its daily flights to Dubai on September 30. See RECOVERY, page 9

MANILA – As the Malampaya natural gas field is drying up, Mindanao might have the indigenous energy resources to energize the country. In a webinar of Davao International Conference 2021 Thursday, PNOC Exploration Corp. (PNOC EC) vice president for upstream operation Jaime Bacud said Mindanao is rich in indigenous resources that can

support the country’s energy requirement. Bacud said Mindanao alone has three sedimentary basins waiting for exploration for oil and gas resources. These basins include Agusan, Cotabato, and the Sulu Sea. “We still think that there is natural gas potential for these areas, and it could be where we could find the next Malampaya,” Bacud

added. The Malampaya gas field, which supplies around 30 percent of Luzon’s power requirement, is the country’s lone natural gas source. As the government issued a moratorium on new coal projects, Bacud said oil and gas exploration, particularly in Mindanao, could help in the government’s goal to achieve energy independence.

AirAsia Philippines makes travel seamless with the Health Travel Icon on the airasia Super App MANILA, 22 September 20201 - In its continuing commitment to make air travel better and even safer in the new normal, AirAsia Philippines’ guests will soon experience seamless verification of vaccine information through airasia Super App in collaboration with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT). The Travel Health Icon will soon be made available to all passengers through the AirAsia Super App, and the airasia website for desktop users. Under the new integrated system, verified vaccination information of guests will be uploaded on the airasia Super App through the Department of Health’s (DOH) VaxCertPH. The DICT recently developed VaxCertPH for the DOH to help verify legitimacy and certify a passenger’s vaccination status. This is also in compliance with the World Health Organization’s

(WHO) guidelines on the issuance of digital vaccine certificates. AirAsia Philippines CEO Ricky Isla said, “Integrating the AirAsia Health Travel Icon into the airasia Super App is our way of supporting the immediate and swift recovery not only of the airline industry, but the country’s tourism sector as a whole. It further defines the digital direction of our company. We will continue

to create and develop system enhancements which will level up the digital travel experience of our guests.” Aside from making travel experience smooth, the Health Travel Icon is also seen to add another layer of security and safety across all domestic flights and airports in the country, especially now that leisure travel has started to pick-up following the re-opening of borders for travelers origi-

nating from the National Capital Region (NCR). A similar AirAsia Health Travel Icon is currently undergoing a trial phase in Indonesia. The trial phase here in the Philippines will commence towards October of 2021 in time for the expected influx of passengers homebound for the holidays these “Ber Months”. “While we are all looking forward to the trial phase of the special feature of the app in the Philippines, we are also exploring future enhancements such as making RT-PCR Test or Antigen test results available on the Super App in the near future,” added Isla. AirAsia Philippines continually reminds its guests to adhere to strict health and safety protocols and get their travel requirements from legit sources. Guests were also reminded of the repercussions if caught forging documents or submitting fake test results.

MANILA - Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar on Wednesday said that with the promises of real change delivered by the Duterte administration, respect for the law and the government has been restored. In an interview, Secretary Andanar mentioned that President Rodrigo Duterte made clear accomplishments based on what he had promised in 2016, especially in maintaining law and order, anti-corruption, and poverty alleviation. “Nanumbalik ang respeto sa ating batas [We have restored respect for the law],” he said. “Yun po ay kakaibang legasiya that would differentiate the administration from the past administration [That’s the unique legacy that would differentiate the administration from the past administration],” he added as he cited President Duterte’s tough stance in dealing with businesses who are tax delinquent. He said that the peace and order situation in the country has improved during the current administration, starting with its unrelenting campaign to eradicate illegal drugs. “Bawat administrasyon may kanya-kanyang problema at pangangailangan na kailangan solusyunan.

He went on to say the Philippine government continues to patrol WPS and assert its sovereignty and sovereign rights under the Philippine Constitution and international law. “Patuloy po tayong nagbabantay, nagmamatyag sa West Philippine Sea at hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin po tayo naaagawan ng lupa o bato o feature sa panahon ni Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte [We continue to patrol over the West Philippines Sea and up until now no land or features were taken away from us during the time of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte],” he said. The PCOO chief cited the modernization efforts for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), which aims to capacitate our military in terms of equipment and personnel management as it carries out its mandate to protect the country, and to maintain peace and order. He stressed that the interest of the people remain at the center of all the undertakings of the administration. “Patuloy po ang ating independent foreign policy na ipinaglalaban po ng ating Pangulo na tayo ay aakto lamang base sa interes ng ating mga kababayan [Our independent foreign policy that our President promotes wherein we only act in the interest of our countrymen],” “An example is the abrogated Visiting Forces Agreement with the United States which he retracted because the President has seen that it is a good way to maintain relationship,” he added.

the partnership between public and private sector communicators. With the restrictions posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Secretary Andanar said that they will consider a virtual conference that will be broadcasted live on-air by partner media entities for the public to witness the said event as well. The PCOO chief added that it was through the NIC where the government was able to gather information on relevant issues that need to be addressed in order

to upgrade the capability of government media and public information officers. One of the results of the NIC was PCOO’s decision to build the first Government Communications Academy. “The NIC led to the creation of the Government Communications Academy because the overwhelming demand raised during that time was upgrading of skills for government information officers and strengthening the relationship between government and private media,” he said.

That petitioners are husband and wife respectively in a marriage performed under Civil rite on August 8, 2015 at Malaybalay City, both petitioner’s had been converted to Muslim and thereby embraced Islam Religion as their new found faith, by virtue of their respective intellectual choices which were duly registered with this Court, both of them can be served summons and other legal processes relative to this case at their resident at Poblacion, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon and Purok 1, Merila, Ubaldo laya, Iligan City, respectively; That said marriage did not last long due to lack of love and affection until the relationship manifested incompatibility and sustained misunderstanding between petitioners and reached the point of irreconcilability and they separated for for more than one (1) year now, they decided to separate live physically in bed and board, thereby, executed Memorandum of Agreement in order to formalize their separation. Since their separation, they had never been communicating or supporting either financially or emotionally to each other, neither minding each other affair’s; Petitioner’s seek judicial decree of divorce, thereby, severing their marriage bond on August 8, 2015 so that they will have free hand to do what a single man or woman could do without marital burdens. Reconciliation between them had already been diligently employed but all proved futile. WHEREFORE, finding this petition to be sufficient in form and substance, set the initial hearing of this case on October 8, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. at which time, date and place. Any interested party may appear and show why the petition should not be granted.

Apologizes... from page 5

na “Mas masahol pa sa hayop.” The boxer-turned senator of the country is one of the few leaders who have earlier announced their bid for the presidency in the 2022 national and local elections. Among them were Senator Ping Lacson, Senator Ferdinand Marcos, Senator Bong Go, and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno. The Pacman’s revelation of running for the highest position of the land also created mixed reactions and questions about his capability to run the country if he wins in the elections. Many Filipinos have openly supported the boxer’s presidential bid but others have also doubted the Pacman’s capability, saying he is not fit to run the country. Quoting an article from Pilipino Star Ngayon. Pacquiao allegedly said: “Mas mabuti pa yung hayop, marunong kumikilala kung lalaki o lalaki, [kung] babae, babae. Oh diba? Ngayon kung lalaki sa lalaki o babae sa babae eh mas masahol pa sa hayop ang tao. Ang hayop lang, hindi talaga puwedeng magsama ang lalake sa lalake.” Earlier on Toni Gonzaga’s Toni Talks Vlog, the senator clarified he is not in the position to make judgments on the LGBTQ community. Meanwhile, in 2016, when Manny was still congressman of Sarangani, John Lapus recalled his past statement when he was asked about same-sex marriage. “As Christian, bawal naman yung same-sex marriage. Ginawa ang babae para sa lalaki, ginawa ang lalaki para sa babae. Kasi para sakin ito lang, common sense lang, makakita ka ba ng any animals na lalaki sa lalaki o babae sa babae?” sabi ng senador na noo’y kinatawan pa lang ng Sarangani. “Mas mabuti pa yung hayop, marunong kumikilala kung lalaki o lalaki, [kung] babae, babae. Oh diba? Ngayon kung lalaki sa lalaki o babae sa babae eh mas masahol pa sa hayop ang tao. Ang hayop lang, hindi talaga puwedeng magsama ang lalake sa lalake,” the Pacman reportedly commented.

ZOOM FATIGUE

By ELISA O. CEBEDO Ozamiz City Central School

Have you ever logged out of your last Zoom class or any online conference and found yourself completely drained? If so, you’re not alone. This is also true to almost every student on elementary, high school or college, who attends online classes with thier teachers in different subjects using zoom and other apps. With the absence of faceto-face classes on its second academic year, more learners opt to acquire education through online. Due to the stress about by learning during COVID-19 pandemic

it has brought a new term ‘Zoom Fatigue’ sometimes called virtual fatigue. According to Psychiatric Times, Zoom fatigue describes the tiredness, worry, or burnout associated with overusing virtual platforms of communication. It’s not a formal diagnosis, but Zoom fatigue is very real. It is widely prevalent, intense, and completely new most commonly experienced by learners in the new normal education. Key signs of burnout can include forgetfulness and difficulty concentrating, difficulty

maintaining relationships and being present with loved ones, and frustration and irritability. You might experience anxiety simply seeing a Zoom notification because you associate it with having to tidy up your background, force a smile, or strain to hear someone dealing with internet connectivity issues. Doing fun things over Zoom when in free time — catching up with family, watching a movie with your best friend, learning a new craft — can help weaken this negative association around Zoom.

Mathematics and human exodus By CHRISTOPHER S. SEMILLA Teacher III Sunirap National High School

THE people who happen to be in a city center at any given moment may seem like a random collection of individuals. But new research featuring a simple mathematical law shows that urban travel patterns worldwide are in fact remarkably predictable, regardless of location – an insight that can optimize city planning. Studying anonymized

cellphone data, researchers have discovered what is known as an inverse square relation between the number of people in a given urban location and the distance they traveled to get there as well as how frequently they made the trip. It may seem intuitive that people visit nearby locations frequently and distant ones less so but the newly discovered relation puts the concept into

specific numerical terms. It accurately predicts for instance that the number of people coming from two kilometers away five times per week will be the same as the number coming from five kilometers twice a week. This is a super striking robust result. We tend to think that there are lots of contextual aspects that affect the way we move such as the transportation system, the morphology of a given place and socioeconomic aspects.

Memories... from page 4

from Florida, I was transported to my childhood on looking at Alan’s face. Alan inherited the features of his late father and mother. But he also has a passing resemblance to ‘Iya Tering’, his maternal grandmother. We spent the night talking about Tagoloan River, fellow Tagoloanons abroad and those that stayed behind as well as the schools, teachers and public officials. Of course, we touched a little on local politics and we are in agreement that Tagoloan town should be a leader not only in the province or region but in fact should go global. Maybe he saw a ‘tapuri’ or grasshopper in our patio but he then told me that he missed the ‘aninipot’ and the ‘tapuri’ in Tagoloan town when they went home amid the pandemic last year. They hoped finally to settle down either in Tagoloan or in Cagayan de Oro City. This was welcomed by both sides of their families but they changed their mind after observing the traffic and drainage. Their reasons to leave should be on my next write-up. Trust me, the couple raised interesting points. But what happened to the grasshoppers is a clear red flag on Tagoloan town’s environment. Both Alan and Alona are chemical engineers who graduated at Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro City. Both were hired from the Philippine by foreign companies. Alan was with Nestle Philippines until his retirement. And I am proud of them and what they achieved here in the US. By the way Alona is a Pimentel from Barangay Nazareth, Cagayan de Oro City. So who says COVID-19 can stop people from reminiscing about the good old days in their lives. Since I live far away not, it’s up to the Tagoloanons to make it happen again. I am serious about my ‘comeback’ and there’s a lot to write.

overall health and economic pulse of the nation. And there is still possibility of a surge of the pandemic midway through the holidays (ber months are just a wink away) and onwards to the campaign period early next year. Covid-19 has turned our way of life completely upside down — from the economic side of it to the adjustment disorder we are now facing on a global scale. In fact, an unprecedented level of anxiety has been spreading like wildfire for almost two years now with no exemption in sight — rich or poor, the healthy and the weak, young and old alike are all easy victims of the pandemic. Now that Doc Willy Ong has thrown his hat for the second highest post of the land, he might have the solution of ending the pandemic following their campaign slogan ‘Bilis, Kilos’ with presidential partner Isko Moreno. Meantime, the lifting of restrictions would likely result to a dramatic and devastating effect as vaccines are coming in by trickles. The pandemic has now incited the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. And here is the takeaway and why: the economic impact of the pandemic may last a little longer even if the underlying cause is contained quickly amid the smell of PH politics this time of pandemic. Sadly, we are not over on this yet. The task ahead is unbearable indeed with politics now shaping up in the four corners of the land. Keep the distance. Wear your mask, now without necessarily using face shield as ordered by Malacanang. (ruffy44_ph2000@ yahoo.com)

the production cost of rice to just P5 per kilo. In the Philippines it is P15 per kilo as our poor farmers have been tied up to conventional agriculture using costly chemical

fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides - thus everyone is profiting from farming, i.e. fertilizer dealers, the compradors, the usurers, but never the farmers Wala talagang puso itong mga senador na taga tanghal lang ng interest ng mga oligarchs. Number one pa sa Senado! Nakakahitya! AS farming has become not economically viable, many have already left farming not to mention that they are the number victims of climate change and protracted war. “Control their stomach and you control their mind,” former US Secretary of State Henry Kissenger once said. For the “havenots,” perhaps the state of poverty and hunger has made the people apathetic and passive to resolve social issues because they are so pre-occupied on where to get the next meal. For the “have-ones,” they too are busy on earthly-matters, bombarded by gospels of materialism and consumerism and in effect, producing a “throw-away” society. These dreadful social realities are exacerbated by patronage politics, making the people more socially dependent and powerless. We must also reckon with a development paradigm anchored on growth-at-all-cost development strategies that have degraded our ecological base and consigning many to live in the slum areas, digging garbage for left-overs. Social change must now be in the offing as time is of the essence. There are now some 110.5 million Filipinos whose basic needs must be met otherwise many will join those “jumping in droves” as if abandoning a “sinking ship” and leaving their families behind, to find jobs abroad. Will the forthcoming political exercises produce that much sought “transformational leader” so that social change can be had? I am afraid that is not possible, that is, if we seek an individual person to be that messiah. We very well know that the socio-economic problems besetting our country are deeply rooted in oppressive systems and structures aggravated by flawed political processes. History tells us that structural wrongs and injustices can only be rectified by the people themselves, governed by well meaning leaders whose dedication and commitment is beyond reproach. If there is one lesson that we should now learn, it is to put power where it rightfully belongs – to the people in a democratic and republican State , which is founded on time-honored and universal principles to democratize wealth and power. Yes, that leader is not a person but a set of ideals that must be pursued by our elected officials. Indeed, the road may be long and arduous, but we will get there because of the principles and the high ideals that we believe in. We are seeing the awakening process through conscientization that puts the people at the center of development processes who are increasingly in control of their resources and of crafting their own destiny. Democratization of wealth and power has been the path courageously taken that now threatens the lethal combination of elite power and greed. Unless we put power in its right place, that is, with the sovereign people not only politically but more so, economically, every change will just be palliative and cannot be the real solution. For indeed, the people united can never be defeated, even by poverty.

brought massive government services down to the community level, thereby preventing the New People’s Army (NPA) from creating influences in these areas. “Sa pagkakaron, dehado na g’yud ang mga NPA tungod aning ELCAC. Na-feel ug natagamtam na g’yud sa mga tawo that the government cares for them,” Orcollo said. Along this line, the Gingoog City Police Office is maintaining an open communication line with the Philippine Army to coordinate their intelligence collection. The Philippine Army’s 58th Infantry Battalion is just one municipality away in Claveria. Another area that the Gingoog City Police Office is focusing is the seizure of unrenewed firearms. Orcollo said that they have confiscated quite a number of firearms from persons who have failed to re-register them last year. Other than these, Gingoog City is expected to remain peaceful throughout the election season which will culminate with the proclamation of winners next May. In the past, a reelectionist mayor was mistakenly ambushed while a well known candidate for councilor was stabbed dead by the NPAs. Those circumstances are unlikely to happen in the Gingoog City of today.

average PHP161,137. “The result of GRDP (Gross Regional Domestic Product) estimates by the PSA (Philippine Statistics Authority) showed that the regional economy contracted by 5.2 percent in 2020, reflecting the economic fallout due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This brings the 10-year average growth rate to 5.3 percent.” she said. Cariño said the national government had to recalibrate some economic and headline targets as part of the agency’s anticipation of the adverse impact of the pandemic to the local economy. Despite this, she said the regional labor market outcomes have improved in 2021 compared to last year based on the running average of labor and employment outcomes in January, April, and July. “These resulted from the safe reopening of the economy by taking a more risk-based approach in imposing restrictions,” she said. Cariño said the unemployment rate in the region was placed at 4.9 percent in July 2021, significantly better than the record-high unemployment rate of 11.1 percent in April 2020. Meanwhile, Misamis Occidental Gov. Philip Tan, chair of RDC-10, said the pandemic showed that rapid cultural and technological change could open a window for a better post-pandemic future. “The Regional Development Council recognizes that there is still much to be done to manage the pandemic and at the same time achieve inclusive and sustainable development,” Tan said. Misamis Occidental During the online conference, Tan also cited three important policies that can help the region attain economic development amid the Covid-19 pandemic:: the safe reopening of the economy with strict adherence to minimum health standards and protocols; the full

implementation of the recovery package; and the acceleration of the vaccination program. “We need to strive hard and help each other, coming from the government to private sector individuals; and institutions to turn this crisis into an opportunity,” he said. According to Tan, the local government of Misamis Occidental is already finding ways to boost the capabilities of its provincial hospital, the Mayor Hilarion A. Ramiro Sr. Medical Center (MHARS-MC), by opening more Covid-19 facilities. Second District Rep. Henry Oaminal, has committed PHPP20 million for the hospital, while First District Rep. Diego Ty has pledged PHP10 million. Ozamiz City Mayor Sancho Fernando Oaminal, meanwhile, has pledged PHP10 million, while Oroquieta City Lemuel Acosta has committed to give PHP10 to 15 million to the hospital. “We really need to be united in solving this crisis that we are facing. As a congressman of the first district, I commit to help, support and to work hard so that I can be able to solve the financial concerns of MHARS-MC and also to the provincial officials,” Ty said.

High profile stakeholders discuss investment hotspots outside Metro Manila at REIF 2021 WITH an incredible lineup of some of the most inspired speakers of the real estate industry, the Real Estate Investment Forum 2021 (REIF) staged its 4th edition of this yearly event. Hosted by the charming Ivyreene Calderon, or “Ice”, as she likes to be called, the event endured over 2 hours and was partnered by Lamudi Philippines and Realestatenews. ph. In fact, Kenneth Stern gave the audience insightful data about what is hot in the property searches right now and what trends can be seen in the listings of residential and commercial properties in Metro Manila and outside in the provinces. There truly seems to be a push away from the Metro City towards “greener pastures” and vacancies in both office space and residential condos in NCR have gone up. Rowena Natividad

from IWG talked about the changing landscape within the office segment and how businesses are trying to adapt to the disruption of the pandemic. She highlighted how there is a general search for smaller spaces and a surge to form smaller teams and use shared workspaces that allow employees to stay nearby their homes. Work from home and work near home seems to be the trend hereby. Her “15-minutes-city” concept explains this all wherein she idealizes the idea of living and working within a radius of 15 minutes either by foot or bicycle. Andy Manalac, Chairman of Havitas Developments and Founder of Realestatenews.ph, listed the locations that have been targeted by savvy investors around Metro Manila and identified areas like La Union, Clark, Tagaytay, Batangas, and Sto Tomas as some of the

hotspots of investment for escaping Metro citizen. With schools closed and the “work-from-home” arrangements, many have in fact chosen their second homes or leisure homes as their primary residence over the past 16 months. A refuge away from the Metro. Architect Romolo Nati in fact underlined how the same condo lifestyle can be enjoyed also in the nearby province like Sto Tomas where his company, Italpinas Development Corporation (IDC), is building a green mixed-use building right at the Sto Tomas exit of the South Luzon Expressway. Also, Architect Nati said how properties along the North/ South corridor have enormously gained in popularity in the case of Sto Tomas it takes only 40minutes to travel to Makati. ‘Miramonti Residences’ first phase is currently under construction and features 23

floors of a modern condo lifestyle with passive green design features. His legacy with sustainability was carried forward from his previous projects in Cagayan de Oro, Primavera Residences, and Primavera City, the latter in its 2nd phase of construction, and both popular landmarks of Uptown CDO. Miramonti Residences is the perfect example of living surrounded by green areas, away from the buzzing city but still be able to enjoy the lifestyle and the amenities of the city condos. Another speaker, Architect Cathy Saldana, a very popular figure within the architecture community in the Philippines, discussed the architectural role to adapt to these new trends. Open spaces and a sustainable approach with nature as the common denominator are being seen more and more especially in provincial areas. She has a big

bet on the Clark area for future investments as she can see infrastructure moving along with the expansion and development of this very interesting area driven by economic factors and a general push out of Metro Manila. The last speaker, ICCPI Vice President, and Real Estate Marketing expert, Lorens Ziller, talked about the great reset for real estate and how certain trends have dramatically been accelerated like the use of technology, the migration towards greener areas out of the Metro, and a more sustainable approach to real estate and community development. He noted that to attract investments the Philippines needs to be even more competitive compared to its neighboring peers and that it is not enough to focus on retirees as it is business that drives business. Therefore attracting

entrepreneurs and giving them the chance to own their companies and eventually, real estate will be the key to unlock great potential. Ultimately, he concluded, real estate marketing has transformed through technology and social media and has become more of branding with the project, the developer and it’s CEO at the center. That is why “Thought Leadership” has risen dramatically as a winning marketing tool for its clients not only in the Philippines. The event concluded with a short Q&A that offered the opportunity to several attendees to ask their questions. For those who missed it, the event will still be available on the Facebook pages of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines, the Infrastructure and Construction Focus Group, and on the Youtube Channel of Focus Philippines.
