628 Subanen learners benefit from DOST’s S&T Digital library

Six hundred twenty-eight Subanen learners from Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDA) in Conception, Misamis Occidental are now actively using STARBOOKS, the country’s first S&T digitized library, in seven public schools.

After six months of deployment, teachers have observed significant improvement in learners' competence. The beneficiary schools are Concepcion National High School, Malvar Elementary School, Migubay Elementary School, Balongkot Elementary School, Debaloy Elementary School, Concepcion Central School, and San and Francisco Elementary School.

“In the few months of using this offline teaching tool, we have noticed great results on the side of our learners through their actions and the way they respond to given commands and directions during classes. They are now much more eager to come to school compared to those last times when the said scientific referencing tool hasn’t yet been installed. They become more attentive, energetic, and participative in class if the STARBOOKS is the teaching tool to use during discussions”, said Ms. Winilyn C. Magdusa, San Francisco Elementary School. Learners can now explore and learn science and technology in a more

comprehensible and enjoyable way amid their isolated geographical location since its installation on September 16, 2022.

Moreover, teachers expressed gratitude to DOST10 for the assistance as it helped them in delivering their classroom lectures innovatively. “It revolutionized my teaching strategies to the extent that I can explore and connect my subject to interdisciplinary schemes, and for the scientific referencing tool”, said Jamael Marohombsar, Debaloy Elementary School.

STARBOOKS is a Science Digital Library developed by the Science and Technology Information Institute of the

OP360 signed-on more than 6,900 sqm. in SM Offices’ CDO Downtown Tower, thereby expanding its Mindanao footprint and solidifying the company’s operations in the Philippines.

By locating in Cagayan De Oro, OP360 strengthens its ability to cater to the increasing need for customized outsourcing solutions with the convenience of technology-ready facilities, while taking advantage of a diverse talent pool and collaborative culture of the city.

Held last May 5, 2023, OP360 and SM Offices formalized their partnership

through a Signing Ceremony held in the Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City. Present were Mr. John Benjamin Roberts, President and COO of Office Partners 360, and Mr. Alexis Ortiga, SMPHI Vice President for BPO Management and Commercial Properties Group.

Just recently, OP360 initiated a business meeting with the Cagayan de Oro Trade and Investment Promotions Center (Oro-TIPC), Cagayan de Oro ICT Business Council, and the PESO Cagayan de Oro (PESO), to establish support and partnership from the Local Government Unit.

Mayor Rolando “Klarex” Uy expressed his support for this milestone, which will

By Ferdinand Patinio

MANILA – Airport authorities led by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) apprehended on Monday a foreign national carrying cocaine worth more than PHP16 million concealed in his luggage, at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Pasay City.

PNP to start probe on 'measly' 2022 service incentive of cops

By Christopher Lloyd Caliwan

MANILA – The Philippine National Police (PNP) will start the investigation on the release of service recognition incentives (SRI) to police officers for fiscal year 2022 after reports that some received less than the agreed amount.

PNP Chief, Gen. Benjamin Acorda Jr., said they would coordinate with Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. and other concerned offices to look into the matter.

“We are constantly coordinating with the SILG (Secretary of the Interior and Local Government). Tinitingnan natin ito kasi kung may reklamo, kumbaga may mga dapat tingnan at iniimbestigahan natin and we are now coordinating with other offices na may kinalaman dito and I am asking them. (We are constantly coordinating with the SILG. We are looking into this because if there is a complaint, it seems that there are things that should be looked into we are investigating and we are now coordinating with other offices that have something to do with this and I am asking them),” Acorda

(Photo courtesy of PNP) told reporters when sought for comment after the oathtaking, donning, and pinning of ranks insignia for the Newly Appointed Police Commissioned Officers (NAPCOs) in Camp Crame on Monday afternoon.

“We will be sitting down with them to hear for myself, kasama ng aking command group, and we might be inviting also from the other officers ng DILG to see to it and hear together kung ano po yung explanation na ito and from there, we can see kung ano ang next move natin (We will be sitting down with them to hear for myself, together with

my command group, and we might be inviting other officers of the DILG to hear together what this explanation is and from there we can see our next move).”

Earlier, Abalos said he would also seek guidance from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) regarding the policies on the payout of the incentive.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., through Administrative Order (AO) 1, authorized in December last year the release of a one-time SRI for employees in the executive branch in recognition of the collective and invaluable

DA to set new onion retail price this week

By Stephanie Sevillano

MANILA – The Department of Agriculture (DA) on Monday said it shall set the suggested retail price (SRP) for red and white onions this week as it conducts inspections in cold storage facilities.

In a teleradio interview, DA spokesperson Assistant Secretary Kristine Evangelista said this is the department’s strategy to protect consumers.

contribution to the government’s continuing efforts to ensure the responsive delivery of services, especially amid the public health emergency due to the pandemic and other socio-economic challenges.

The AO authorizes the grant of a one-time SRI at a uniform rate not exceeding PHP20,000 for those working under the executive department.

Meanwhile, Acorda urged all the police commissioned officers to continue learning and growing as professionals, always striving to be the best they can be as he reminded them of their responsibility to

“Kung hindi po bukas, sana by Wednesday. But the monitoring now is not only sa palengke, kundi pati po sa mga cold storages (If not tomorrow, hopefully by Wednesday. But the monitoring now is not only in the market but also in cold storages),” she said.

“Even the privatelyowned [cold storages] shall be visited by the BPI (Bureau of Plant Industry), field inspectors of DA, alongside the PNP (Philippine National Police) and the CIDG (Criminal Investigation and Detection Group) to see the prices of onions, who have entered it, as well as the outflow,” she added in mixed English and Filipino.

The DA earlier said it would set a PHP140 per

kilogram (kg) SRP for white onions, and PHP150/kg for red onions.

Last Friday, the recorded prevailing price of local red and white onions in Metro Manila ranged from PHP160 to PHP200 per kilo.

Meanwhile, Evangelista said some traders have agreed to set a cold storage wholesale price following their stakeholders’ meeting.

“Kaya po ang sabi natin, ang wholesale na para sa cold storage, PHP115. Ito po ang napagkasunduan namin for the red and PHP100 for the white. ‘Yan po ang magiging basehan kung magkano naman dapat ibagsak sa palengke (That’s why we said, our wholesale [price] for cold storage is PHP115. This is what we have agreed on for the red and PHP100 for the white. That will be the basis how much it should be in the market),” she said.

Such price considers the farm gate price at PHP75 to PHP85 during the harvest season.

Evangelista said that for the retailers to implement a PHP150 market price, the price of onions from cold storage must reach at PHP125 to PHP130.

Apayao province braces for Super Typhoon Mawar

By Leilanie Adriano

LAOAG CITY — The Apayao provincial government is taking proactive measures and bracing for the incoming Super Typhoon Mawar (local name Betty) which is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) in the next few days.

As of 4 p.m. Tuesday, Mawar was spotted 2,285 kilometers east of the Visayas area, outside the PAR, with a maximum sustained winds of 185 kilometers per hour near the center, and gustiness of up to 230 kph.

It is currently moving northward at 15 kph.

It is projected to enter PAR by Friday evening (May 26) or Saturday morning (May 27).

As moderate to heavy rains are now being experienced in some parts of the province, Governor Elias Bulut Jr. on Tuesday directed local officials to mobilize the necessary resources to prepare for the super typhoon.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management

Office (PDRRMO) has been activated to coordinate the overall response efforts.

Emergency response teams, including rescue units, medical personnel, and relief workers, have been put on standby and will be deployed to vulnerable areas across the province.

Bulut also urged residents to remain vigilant and follow the advisories and warnings issued by authorities.

Ilocos Norte town fishers adopt eco-friendly fish trap technology

By Leilanie Adriano

LAOAG CITY – Over 100

fishermen from Dilavo, Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte have received their “lambaklad” (fish net), an eco-friendly fish trap technology to boost their production.

Funded by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) based in Ilocos Region for PHP2.8 million, the lambaklads were handed over to the Dilavo Fishermen Association represented by its president, Joel Queddeng.

“We are so thankful and blessed to have this project in our town. We will do our best to take good care of it for our future,” said Queddeng

in an interview Tuesday.

Coined from the Filipino words “lambat” (net) and “baklad” (corral), lambaklad uses a stationary huge fish trap laid down under the sea. It is a Japanese fishing technology adopted in the Philippines since it is sustainable and eco-friendly.

The project was formalized through a memorandum of agreement between the BFAR, the local government unit of Pasuquin, and the Dilavo Fsihermen Association Inc. signed on May 19.

As part of the agreement, the 120 active association members will undergo skills training and participate in the construction, operation, management and maintenance of

the Lambaklad project.

Vanessa Abegail Dagdagan, senior aquaculturist of BFAR-Ilocos Norte, said in an interview Tuesday that the technology could help uplift the living conditions of the small-scale fisherfolk by providing them with livelihood intervention that is sustainable and environment-friendly.

To assist the fishermen association, Dagdagan added that they will provide technical support and regular monitoring of the association to ensure the success and viability of the project.

Popular catches in the fishing grounds of Pasuquin include tuna, scads species, moonfish and other pelagic species. (PNA)

WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT?!

"Would You Believe It!" is a 1929 British silent comedy film directed by Walter Forde and starring Forde, Pauline Johnson and Arthur Stratton. It was made at the Nettlefold Studios in Waltonon-Thames and released as a supporting feature. It was later re-released with added sound effects and music. A British inventor develops a new high-tech tank and is pursued by foreign agents who wish to capture the design.

There seem to be too many rash judgments, and the readers absorb these and make these their own. A fatal attraction!

In a world as vast as ours, anything that can happen will likely happen. The only thing that can limit these possibilities is your own imagination. Experience the oddest, the fantastic, the downright impossible parts of history that the textbooks left out. Be prepared -- it will expand the limits of your wildest imagination!

This is sometimes referred to as journalistic mentality and social media comments wherein accusations are generously made without proof. Evolution started this trend, when scientists stated for example that man evolved from the apes, without proof. The only proof they had was the missing link, and if I am not mistaken, it's still a missing proof until now.

ROLANDO SUDARIA production

It is almost a ridiculous fact that man wants to know certain truths about mundane things. But really he seems least interested in even mundane truths as can be read many times in newspapers for example.

To look for proofs is a mental activity, which is no longer a common thing nowadays, because it takes really time, effort and is too serious to think about. Yet, in Christian education, thinking right is very important.That's why Philosophy is important in Christian life. To avoid error in thinking, the rules of right reasoning must be studied and mastered. Is it really totally neglected in today's modern education?

Thinking is actually an enjoyable activity but when one is pressured to

Spiritual writers like the British Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) noticed that mankind had stopped thinking even two centuries ago. That was during his age. Man probably stopped thinking even earlier. He has ceased many times to search for the truth. It's easier to listen to gossip and believe in it. What a sign of weak minds!

Too often are we blind to the truth and as a consequence we easily believe in lies we only have to like it. Too bad, if people always like to close their eyes and ears especially while experiencing the delusion of error.

Much less is truth about a certain view or choice that may be supported by a majority of the people. Truth can only be found in God when the Spirit of Truth shows us what truth is.

We are reminded of this very important aspect of our life when in the gospel of St. John, Christ said that the Spirit of Truth “will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears and will declare to you the things that are coming.” (Jn 16,13)

To know the truth and to be in the truth are a matter of being discerning of what the Holy Spirit tells and shows us. In short, we cannot know and be in the truth unless we follow what the Spirit tells us.

We just cannot rely on facts and data and a majority vote to be in the truth. Understanding truth that way, without the inspiration of the Spirit, would just lead us to be deceived in a way that can be most subtle and convincing. But the result or the effect of such misunderstanding of truth would only be greater division among us or some harm.

Somehow, we can verify the effect of such misunderstanding of truth just by looking at how there is now a lot of division and misunderstanding among ourselves in spite of the tremendous developments we have in the sciences and the technologies. We can have a glut of facts and data and we can make choices by majority vote, and still the truth would elude us.

Facts and data need a proper spirit for them to serve the cause of truth. We need to realize that truth in the context or setting of our human condition needs a proper spirit. Without considering the proper spirit, they can only be used --or misused-- by all sorts of possible human motives that in the end may not be right for us, or may just be self-serving to some of us but harmful to others.

The truth that comes from the Spirit of truth obviously can make use of facts and data and the results of some majority vote, but it will always be a dynamic one that in end would lead us to our ultimate goal in life --our own salvation, our attainment of the fullness

of our human dignity as children of God, sharers of his divine life and nature.

We can ask the question: how can we see the truth amid our unavoidable biases and other conditionings that affect how we see, judge, and react to things?

The simple answer is to be like Christ who himself said that he is “the way, the truth and the life.”

Thus, in the gospel cited above, Christ clearly said that the Spirit of truth “will take from what is mine and declare it to you. Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason, I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.” (Jn 16,14-15)

We obviously need to adjust our understanding of what truth is and of how we can be in the truth. To know and to be in the truth need to be pursued in the context of our relation with God through Christ in the Spirit. They just cannot be achieved through pure science or reliance to facts, data, and majority vote!

BFAR vessel test expedition in N. Samar yields 1.5 tons of tuna

By Sarwell Meniano and Roel Amazona

TACLOBAN CITY – The vessel donated by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to fishermen in Northern Samar made its first voyage harvesting 1.5 tons of highvalue species.

The BFAR regional officer here reported on Tuesday that the first testfishing mission of the FV/ DA-BFAR 2102 steel hulled fish harvester within the Pacific Ocean on May 15 to 16 was successful.

Dan De San Miguel, BFAR tuna conservation management zone focal person, said in a phone interview that on board the vessel were local fishermen, local government officials, selected trained technical staff of the BFAR central office and Eastern Visayas

regional office, and staff from the BFAR provincial fishery office.

“The expedition evaluated the performance and capabilities of the vessel and assess(ed) the skills of its municipal fisherfolk crew members in the actual operations of the said 50 gross ton fishing vessel within commercial waters. The fishermen’s cooperative will be trained further on how to further improve their fishing activities using the new ship,” said De San Miguel, who was with fishermen during the expedition.

He assured the sustainability of the vessel’s operation with a series of training on how to operate the vessel and continuing technical assistance from BFAR.

Upon the vessel’s arrival at the port of Mapanas in Northern Samar on March

16, the local government unit and BFAR followed the prescribed fish storage practices and sold the bulk of its catch to the residents of Northern Samar towns facing the Pacific Ocean.

Mapanas Mayor Ronn Michael Tejano who sailed with local fishers said in a phone interview the crew traveled back filled with joy and pride having caught 1.5 tons of fish consisting of yellowfin tuna, skipjack tuna, and galunggong (blue mackerel scad).

"With more fish expected to come in and more regular voyages, we are prospecting an increase of needed labor with the local fisherfolk to deal with the demand of work,” Tejano said.

BFAR turned over the PHP39 million fishing vessel to members of the Northern Samar Pacific Towns

Cebu City sting op nets P8.3-M shabu

By John Rey Saavedra

CEBU CITY – Drug syndi-

cates here suffered a major blow after an elite unit of the Police Regional Office - Central Visayas (PRO-7) in confiscated a total of PHP8.3 million worth of shabu from three suspects, the top regional police official said on Tuesday.

Brig. Gen. Anthony Aberin, PRO-7 chief, said the seizure of 1.2 kilos of shabu in Barangay Pobla -

cion Pardo here on Monday netted three suspects -- Anthony John Adlawa, alias “Daot,” 31; Archie Marollao, alias “Poloy,” 38; and Amid Gantalao, 42.

The trio was the subject of an intelligence operation by the Regional Police Drug Enforcement Unit 7 and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA-7), according to Aberin.

“The operation resulted in the recovery of an esti -

mated 1,225 grams of shabu with a standard drug value of PHP8,330,000, a pack of Alishan Jin Xuan Tea used as the container of the illegal drugs, an eco-bag, a backpack, buy-bust money and a mobile phone,” the police report said.

The arrest of the three whom Aberin called “newly identified drug personalities” is expected to reduce by 30 percent the illegal drug activities in the community. (PNA)

AIR21 partners with Sarisuki to bring fresh produce from farmers to community sellers

MANILA -- AIR21 partners with Sarisuki to deliver fruits and vegetables from farmers in Benguet to community sellers in Metro Manila.

This partnership seeks to lower the cost and ensure consistent supply of fresh produce in ubiquitous talipapa. It also aims to lessen overall food supply chain wastage and help ensure food security across Metro Manila.

Sarisuki, a social e-commerce platform founded in 2020 as a response to the need for livelihood and connectivity during the pandemic, is committed to enriching lives of new generation entrepreneurs and partner farmers through building an ecosystem that offers supermarket quality products at wet market prices. Currently, Sarisuki services Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Rizal, parts of Batangas, Quezon, and Cebu.

AIR21 partners with Sarisuki to lower the cost and ensure consistent supply of fresh produce in ubiquitous talipapa across Metro Manila.

“Our team at AIR21 finds this partnership very meaningful. It’s our privilege to use our decades of expertise in domestic freight forwarding in helping Sarisuki achieve its growth targets. This collaboration is a manifestation of

our Luzon backhaul expansion. We will continue to maximize our nautical and road network linehaul in enabling local businesses’ daily operations,” John Casupang, President of AIR21.

As one of the Philip -

pines’ pioneers in logistics, AIR21 is committed to providing quality service to its partners across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The said logistics company has 4 major hubs and 68 retail branches. Now backed by Ayala Corporation through AC Logistics, AIR21 is geared towards accelerating technological advancements while improving efficiencies brought by synergies with other AC Logistics companies – Entrego, UFreight, U-Ocean, LGC Logistics, Cargohaus Inc., GMAC CDO, WARM, and IWMI.

“AC Logistics recognizes the need to enhance logistics capabilities throughout the country. We have assembled a full end-to-end logistics solutions portfolio to address the most pressing supply chain challenges, including food security and preservation. We are genuinely excited to see our purpose materialize

through this milestone. The entire AC Logistics team is looking forward to growing this partnership with Sarisuki,” Nona Torres, Chief Commercial Officer of AC Logistics Holdings Corporation.

Sarisuki is founded by Brian Cu, Philippe Lorenzo, and Bam Mejia, with hopes of addressing the problematic paradox of consumers experiencing a market of overpriced goods whilst farmers are struggling to make a living.

“At Sarisuki, we strive to positively impact the country’s agricultural sector by finding solutions to lower production costs, helping farmers improve yields, and implementing systems that will lessen overall food supply chain wastage. It’s extremely problematic that farmers are considered the weakest end of the agricultural chain amidst being the backbone of the sector. Through this partnership, we aim to get products

from hard-to-reach communities into the hands of consumers in a short time. Combined with the power of Sarisuki community selling, the AIR21 partnership will help create a stronger bridge between farmers and consumers. We hope to build a more inclusive and progressive agriculture industry in the Philippines, one community at a time,” Brian CU, President and CEO of Sarisuki.

By Che Palicte

DAVAO CITY – The Department of Agriculture in Davao Region (DA-11) has recently turned over a PHP20- million Bamboo Rural Enterprise and Development (BREAD) project to the Davao del Sur State College (DSSC) in Matanao town, Davao del Sur province.

In a Facebook post Monday, DA-11 Director Abel James Monteagudo said the BREAD project intends to upscale the bamboo industry by increasing productivity in the region.

This can be done, he said, by promoting, producing, and processing engineered bamboo as a substitute to the diminishing wood industry in the country.

Agudo said the established bamboo processing hub, handed over to the DSCC on May 19, would also serve as a training facility for the youth, farmers, and other interested individuals.

“Through this project, we are harnessing innovative technologies, implementing sustainable practices, and unlocking new

avenues for growth and prosperity, Monteagudo said.

He also called on other government agencies to collaborate and amplify their efforts.

Meanwhile, DSSC president Augie Fuentes lauded DA-11 for making the project a reality.

“It unlocks the potential of the bamboo industry in providing sources of livelihood for rural communities in pursuit of economic development, environmental protection, and climate change mitigation,” she said. (PNA)

Fishermen’s Cooperative (NSPTFC) on March 29, 2023.

Recipients are members from the Pacific towns of Laoang, Palapag, Mapanas, Gamay, and Lapinig.

“This will not only provide more employment locally, but will definitely enhance our local economy and provide extra revenue to the local government, which can be used to develop our fishing industry. Our local consumers, particularly the poor, are now enjoying cheaper prices of the fish caught by NSPTFC,” Tejano added.

Northern Samar has nearly 1,000 tuna fishers largely

dependent on traditional fishing methods to catch tuna in the Pacific Ocean, according to BFAR.

With the fishing vessel provided by the government, the bureau foresees at least a 5.4 percent or 180 to 200 metric tons increase in tuna production in Northern Samar province.

In 2022, the province contributed 13 percent of the region’s total fisheries production and recorded the second-highest yield of tuna production in the region. (PNA)

(We have a new project, the solar water system. We have identified four areas for that project: one in Barangay San Simon, two in Dansolihon, and one in Tagpangi).

Manzano disclosed that the identified areas only rely on spring water as a source of their potable water. To address the issue, their office allocated a total of P36 million in project costs, or P9 million per solar water system, to improve their water source.

The CDO 1st DEO will construct a control house, intake box, and overhead tank or reservoir to collect the water from the source, which will be distributed in the areas via tap stands. Instead of using an electricpowered water pump, they have installed a solar-powered pump to reduce expenses for the beneficiaries.

A memorandum of agreement was signed with the barangay beneficiaries to ensure that future repair and maintenance costs of the system will be their responsibility.

Currently, the solar water system project in Barangay Tagpangi is in its ongoing phase of construction, while the other areas are currently under negotiation with the indigenous people groups located in the area. (JAKA/ PIA-10/Misamis Oriental)

serve the people and encouraged them to seek guidance from God.

“Let us embody the spirit of ‘Serbisyong Nagkakaisa’ as we serve and protect our fellow Filipinos. Remember to serve well and in harmony with your fellow police officers, to other government agencies, and to the community that relies on our service and protection,” he said.

Acorda emphasized the significance of their roles, stating, “As newly appointed police commissioned officers, you have already proven your capabilities in your respective fields, and now it is time to channel that expertise into the law enforcement arena. You will be entrusted to lead while upholding justice, protecting the innocent, and ensuring the safety and security of our nation. This is a sacred duty that requires integrity, courage,

and compassion.”

Among the appointees were 91 Technical Officers, and 515 Line Officers, all chosen under the PNP Lateral Entry Program CY 2022 for Line and Technical Officers.

Under the program, 29 lawyers, four priests, two pastors, and seven doctors were appointed to the initial rank of Police Captain, entitling them to a basic monthly salary of P56,582.

The remaining 564 newly appointed PNP officers, which include dentists, psychologists, architects, engineers, chemists, IT (information technology) specialists, and line officers were appointed to the initial rank of Police Lieutenant, with a basic monthly salary of PHP49,528, along with allowances and various cash and non-cash benefits.

The successful candidates of the Lateral Program have undergone a stringent selection process, demonstrating their commitment to excellence, professionalism, and the core values of the PNP.

All newly appointed police commissioned officers are formally turned over to the Directorate for Human Resource and Doctrine Development (DHRDD) to undergo the mandatory Officer’s Basic Course and Field Training Program before reporting to their respective unit assignments.

The PNP Lateral Entry Program serves as one of the primary channels for recruiting technical and line service officers into the PNP, alongside the cadetship program offered at the PNP Academy.

These programs contribute to the regular sources of Police Commissioned Officers (PCOs) within the PNP.

Enhancing ties with communities

Also on Monday, the PNP through the Directorate for Police Community Relations (DPCR) officially launched the PCR Compendium Policies as part of its ongoing efforts

to enhance community engagement and foster stronger ties between the police and the communities they serve.

The PNP DPCR has developed the Compendium Policies to serve as a comprehensive guide for PNP personnel, providing them with a clear framework and guidelines for effective community relations.

These policies underscore the PNP’s commitment to upholding transparency, accountability, and trust within the community.

The Compendium Policies outline protocols for community outreach programs, cooperation with local stakeholders, and proactive measures to address concerns and build mutual respect.

By adhering to these policies, the PNP aims to strengthen its partnership with the public and improve overall community safety and well-being.

“The success of our mission to maintain peace and order greatly depends on the trust and cooperation of the community. The Compendium Policies will serve as our guide to foster positive relationships, empower communities, and ensure public safety,” Acorda said during the launch held at Camp Crame, Quezon City.

DPCR director Maj. Gen. Mario Reyes thanked all stakeholders, including local government units, non-governmental organizations, and community leaders, for their invaluable support and input in developing the Compendium Policies.

Their collaboration, he said, reinforces the shared commitment to a safer and more secure country.

Reyes said the PNP is dedicated to implementing the Compendium Policies effectively across all police units nationwide.

He also assured that the DPCR would continuously review and refine these policies based on feedback and evolving community needs. (PNA)

Globe Group cheers passage of bill strengthening Intellectual Property Code, cites benefits of effective site blocking vs piracy

The Philippines will reap significant benefits from enforcing site blocking to combat piracy, the latest YouGov consumer surveys commissioned by the Coalition Against Piracy (CAP) showed, redounding to the vibrancy of the P1.60-trillion creative industry, a top contributor to the economy.

The Globe Group said this as it celebrated the passage of House Bill No. 7600, which proposes revisions to the country’s 26-year-old Intellectual Property (IP) Code, including allowing site blocking, to address gaps that have allowed online piracy to endure and to empower regulators to act against violators.

The bill, authored by Albay 2nd District Rep. Joey Salceda, was approved on third and final reading at the House of Representatives on Monday, May 22. The bill will then be transmitted to the Senate.

“The Globe Group congratulates Albay 2nd Dis -

trict Rep. Joey Salceda for steering House Bill No. 7600 towards its triumphant passage at the House. This is a landmark achievement for the creative industry, with the bill a step closer to becoming a law. We are inching closer towards ensuring more stringent protection for our content creators and their livelihood,” said Globe Group Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer Yoly Crisanto.

"Piracy not only jeopardizes the livelihood of content creators and other works in the creative industry but also worsens consumer exposure to malware risks. Revisions to the IP code are essential for bolstering a digital landscape that is secure and equitable,” she said.

CAP surveys showed that in countries where site blocking is being effectively implemented, positive behavioral change has been observed, with 62% of

consumers in Indonesia and 64% in Malaysia changing their viewing habits, opting instead to watch free and legal streaming or either stopping or reducing use of pirate sites.

In the Philippines, 58% of consumers engage with pirated content, yet they expressed willingness to pay for legal content if not available on piracy services. Based on multiple answers, the survey revealed that 53% of respondents would pay for subscription services, 15% for individual payper-view, 28% for cinema viewings, 13% for Blu-Ray or DVD, and 39% would opt for legitimate ad-supported media such as free-to-air or online platforms.

Filipino consumers are in favor of government intervention against piracy. Allowed to give multiple answers, 45% of the respondents advocate for government or court orders for Internet Service Providers
