By Rey E. Requejo and Macon Ramos-Araneta HE Philippines has filed a diplomatic protest against China over its law authorizing its coast guard to shoot foreign vessels in areas it claims in the disputed South China Sea, Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. said on Wednesday.

“After reflection I fired a diplomatic protest,” Locsin said, in his Twitter post. “While enacting law is a sovereign prerogative, this one—given the area involved or for that matter the open South China Sea—is a verbal threat of war to any country that defies the law, which, if unchallenged, is submission to it,” Locsin added. A Filipino security and Chinese studies expert said Wednesday this new Chinese law allowing its coast guard to fire on foreign vessels found to be infringing on their sovereignty or jurisdictions can be challenged before the international community if Next page

AT LEAST 615 close contacts of 13 COVID-19 cases infected with the UK variant of coronavirus in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) have undergone testing, the Department of Health (DOH) said Wednesday.

WITH a more contagious COVID-19 variant currently spreading, people have been advised to follow strict health protocols or at least avoid crowded places to prevent further its spread. Many celebrities, however, have been caught breaking social distancing orders, even though many of them have been telling their fans to follow the government’s quarantine rules seriously. Case in point, “eventologist” and lifestyle personality Tim Yap has been trending on Twitter since Wednesday for celebrating his 44th birthday in Baguio City and throwing a “maskless” party attended by people in his close circle, including actress KC

‘Dacera died of natural causes’ By Joel E. Zurbano and Rey E. Requejo

HILIPPINE Airlines flight attendant Christine Angelica Dacera died of natural causes, the medico-legal report presented by the police to the Makati City prosecutors office showed.

Guevarra admitted the NBI’s forensic team is already done with its toxicology report, but he is leaving it up to the agency to decide when to disclose the outcome of its toxicological examination. “The NBI Forensic Team is ready with their toxicology report. I will leave it to them to disclose their findings,” he said. The Justice Secretary earlier said the NBI agents are also examining the data in the mobile phones of those considered “persons of interest” in the Dacera case, and that some of them have been subjected to drug tests. Palmero also said in his report that “no alcohol or recreational drugs Dacera took on New Year’s Eve, the night prior her death, will cause a kind of defect on her aorta.” “That dilatation is a chronic condi-

tion and was present long before she died. If she did not die that fateful night, she will die in any scenario that represents an activity that will increase her blood pressure strong enough to tear that aneurysm,” he added. The report further stated while aneurysm is more common among the elderly because of atherosclerosis, it could also happen in younger persons due to other reasons. Dacera’s heart also weighed 500 grams, larger than the normal 300 grams, which the report said supported her apparently undiagnosed hypertension. The next hearing is scheduled on Feb. 3. Dacera was found unconscious in the bathtub of her room at City Garden Hotel around noon of Jan. 1, a day after she celebrated New Year with her friends and acquaintances at the establishment.

Based on the report signed by PNP medico-legal officer Police Lt. Col. Joseph Palmero on Jan. 11, the 23-year-old Dacera died due to ruptured aortic aneurysm. “Based on the available information on hand the manner of death is classified as natural death,” Palmero stated in his report, which was presented during Wednesday’s preliminary investigation of the rape with homicide case. He said: “Manner of death as homicide is ruled out in Dacera’s case because the aortic aneurysm is considered

a medical condition. Rape and/or drug overdose will not result to the development of aneurysms,” Meanwhile, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra on Wednesday said the National Bureau of Investigation has asked the PNP for certain specimens and copies of the medical record of Dacera to complete its investigation. “I understand that they have requested a certain specimen from the PNP and copies of Ms. Dacera’s medical records to complete the whole picture,” Guevarra said, in a text message to reporters.

Ping to PhilHealth: Liquidation not same as audit

Travelers now face virus test on day 5 of stay STARTING Feb. 1, travelers arriving in the country will get tested for the novel coronavirus on the fifth day of their stay in the Philippines instead of having two tests as previously required, Malacañang said Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Immigration will include foreigners who visited, stayed or lived in the Czech Republic from the list of restricted countries from entering the Philippines. BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said the bureau had received a directive expanding the travel restrictions to include aliens coming from the Czech Republic, or those who had been there within 14 days preceding arrival in the Philippines. The inter-agency task force on COVID-19, which met on Tuesday, required arriving passengers, “regardless of their origin,” to “undergo facility-based quarantine upon arrival,” said Palace spokesman Harry Roque. “They shall then undergo RT-PCR test on the fifth day from their date of arrival in the country, unless the passenger shows symptoms at an earlier date while on quarantine,” he said in a statement. “Once a passenger tests negative, the passenger shall be endorsed to the local government unit of the destination where the passenger shall continue the remainder of the 14-day quarantine under the strict monitoring of the LGU,” the official added. The new protocol will take effect on Feb. 1 “for all persons who shall be allowed entry to the Philippines,” said Roque. Asked if this meant that travelers would not be tested upon arrival, Presidential Communications Assistant Secretary Rachel Queenie DizonRodulfo said “yes.” “An operational guideline will be released before Feb. 1,” she told reporters. “For efficiency in government, and also to be more rational in doing things, we did this,” Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said in a public briefing.

Lacson was reacting to PhilHealth president Dante Gierran’ statement Tuesday that 92% of the P15 billion fund that was allegedly stolen by some of its officials had been “liquidated.” “Say, if public funds were spent not for COVID-19 as required under the Interim Reimbursement Mechanism (IRM), but for dialysis centers and infirmaries which are clearly not authorized, it can still be declared as liquidat-

ed, but it doesn’t mean that funds were legally disbursed,” said Lacson. “That is why, as we already know, some former and current PhilHealth officials have recently been charged by the DOJ-led Task Force,” he added. “Sa totoo lang po, hindi po nawawala, andiyan lang. Sa ngayon po 92% na ang liquidated. So [kakaunti] na lang po [ang hindi pa],” said Geirran during at a Palace briefing.

the use of force is found “unlawful.” “There is a norm in international law regarding the use of excessive force so if China will use excessive force in the area then we have the right to also file a legal case,” Rommel Banlaoi, president of the Philippine Association for Chinese Studies (PACS), said during a virtual roundtable Wednesday. While it is China’s “sovereign prerogative” to pass a law, he said its laws must still adhere to international law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. He added that the Chinese coast guard must exercise self-restraint and use force only as a last resort or for defensive purposes. Last week, China’s top legislature, the National People’s Congress (NPC), passed on Jan. 23 a law authorizing the Chinese coast guard “to take all necessary measures, including the use of weapons, when national sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction are being illegally infringed upon by foreign organizations or individuals at sea.” Former ambassador and executive director of the Center for Archipelagic and Regional Seas Law and Policy Studies Alberto Encomienda said Manila should also execute similar instructions to its coast guard. “Reading the newspapers, the Chinese instruct (them) to fire when necessary. So, I really don’t see any problem

there. Our own coast guard should have that instruction also,” he said in the same forum. Beijing and Manila are locked in a territorial dispute over the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, which the former consistently regards as its “inherent territory.” Among the forces manning the artificial islands there are the Chinese coast guard, who at several times had been the subject of complaints for intimidating Filipino fishermen attempting to fish in the region. Asked what action Manila should take if the Chinese coast guard fires from an area it also claims, Banlaoi said: “We can always challenge China legally when that situation occurs. But we need to develop deterrent capability to prevent China from doing so.” Banlaoi said Manila must match the efforts taken by Beijing and increase the Philippine Navy and the Philippine Coast Guard’s presence in the area. “The principle in international politics associated with the maritime dispute is if you cannot patrol your water, you cannot own your water,” he said in a separate radio interview. At the same time, he suggested deepening ties with China so that they “will exercise self-restraint in using force against us.” He added that the soon to be crafted code of conduct on the South China Sea between Beijing and the Asean is also essential to address that issue. Senator Risa Hontiveros yesterday warned against China’s bullying tactics and called on ASEAN member-states to band together.

She noted that ASEAN countries should reach a consensus and take multilateral action to stop China’s incessant adventurism. The Chinese game plan is to isolate and divide the countries around it so it can deal with them individually through bilateral talks, maximizing its relative advantage in resources and power against any one of its neighbors, Hontiveros said. Earlier, the senator cautioned about China’s new law, urging the Department of Defense (DND) to immediately create a strategy for situations where the Chinese coast guard uses force in contested waters. She said the new law also endangers Filipino fishermen and could keep them from fishing in disputed waters. “This is the arrogance of a country that still considers itself the Middle Kingdom and an empire,” she said. The head of a Philippine fishers’ association called the new law “a virtual declaration of war” while a security analyst said it would stoke “hatred of China” among Filipinos. The legislation “contradicts the principle of freedom of navigation recognized by international maritime law”, said Fernando Hicap, chairman of Pamalakaya, a federation of fishers’ organizations. Defense analyst Chester Cabalza, a fellow at the National Defense University in Beijing and the United States State Department, said the law was a “game changer” because it turned a “white” force meant for policing, search, and rescue into a menacing “grey” arm of the military.

worldwide, it is not getting any better, and I think the most prudent thing is really to maintain the business activities with much caution,” Galvez, who is also the country’s vaccine czar, said in a press briefing. “That is a correct judgement and prudent enough. I really respect the comment and suggestion of many mayors that it is easier to ease up later if we are able to control the situation right now,” he added. Metropolitan Manila Development

Authority General Manager (MMDA) general manager Jojo Garcia, meanwhile, said all the local government units in the National Capital Region are prepared for the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines. The mayors met virtually with officials of IATF led by Galvez Jr. and discussed plans for the vaccination program as the arrival of the first batch of COVID-19 vaccines nears. “Secretary Galvez assured us that the initial batch of COVID-19 vaccines will arrive before the end of February. I

think they can finalize it in the next few days,” Garcia said. Garcia did not disclose the brands of vaccines, but he said there are three brands that are expected to arrive by the end of February. National Task Force officials are set to visit all LGUs in Metro Manila to check on their plans and preparations for the rollout of COVID vaccines. “We all know that these vaccines are sensitive and will require proper handling and storage,” Garcia said.

This, after double masking was recommended by United States’ top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, who said it was “common sense” that having an added layer of physical covering can prevent respiratory droplets from spreading.

Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire pointed out that Filipinos had been using additional protection. “Because we think that wearing one mask and then a face shield is enough to be protected. We can see that from the time we implemented the mask and the face shield, our cases have not ballooned. Although cases have increased, it’s still manageable.),” Vergeire said during a Laging Handa briefing.

tions between Manila and Washington under the Biden administration would be off to a good start, with the Philippines back on the list of countries eligible to participate in America’s H-2B visa program. “This is definitely a positive signal from Washington,” House deputy speaker and Surigao del Sur Rep. Johnny Pimentel said. In an update on its website, the USAID said President Biden on January 20 appointed Gloria Steele to the agency’s top post in acting capacity. “Gloria Steele was a distinguished career member of the U.S. Government’s Senior Executive Service for over 18 years,” the USAID said, describing its new administrator. Del Rosario, chairman of the Stratbase ADR Institute, also applauded the appointment of former US ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim as Acting Secretary of State for East Asia and Pacific Affairs “as it is often at that level where foreign policy is formulated and made to happen.” “We welcome the appointment of Secretary of State Antony Blinken whom we had worked with when he was Deputy Secretary of State,” Del Rosario said, even as he recalled that before stepping down as Secretary of Foreign Affairs, he and Ambassador Joey Cuisia engaged Sec. Blinken, who was then Deputy Secretary in Washington, “to arrive at a decision to undertake joint patrols in the West Philippine Sea.” “Acting Assistant Secretary Sung Kim is an effective and tested diplomat. We have had the good fortune of benefiting from his experience and skills. To manage the prevailing challenges in our side of the world, he will be instrumental for the US and its policy in the Indo-Pacific,” he added.

Baguio also turned in 20 new cases on Wednesday, followed by Benguet with 19 and Mountain Province with 16. Vergeire said that samples from the close contacts of those who tested positive for UK variant, as well as those in

areas where there is clustering of COVID-19 cases such as communities, jails and hospitals treating moderate and severe COVID-19 patients, have been subjected to genome sequencing by the Philippine Genome Center to determine if they are also infected with the UK variant. “We are doing this right now, and by Thursday or Friday we could already have the results,” Vergeire said. The DOH earlier announced that 38 of the close contacts of 13 COVID-19 cases infected with the UK variant of the coronavirus tested positive for COVID-19.

biggest threat to the country. However, Sobejana has experience dealing with Chinese incursions into the country’s waters, having been commander of AFP’s Western Mindanao Command (WestMinCom) before he became Army Chief. In 2019, he reported that Chinese warships left the Sibutu Strait, after disclosing their presence to reporters and, at the time, said the national leadership had been informed so the matter could be raised with Chinese counterparts through the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). Sobejana said Beijing, through the Chinese Embassy in Manila, had been informed about the incursions. “I am too sure that they are aware of these incursions,” he said. Sobejana, a member of the Philippine Military Academy “Hinirang Class” of 1987, assumed command of the Philippine Army last July. He also commanded the Joint Task Force Sulu, the Maguindanao-based 6th Infantry Division, and WestMinCom. Sobejana is also a recipient of the Medal of Valor, the country’s highest military award that is equivalent to the Congressional Medal of Honor of the United States. He earned his Medal of Valor in 1995 after leading the fight with an estimated 150 Abu Sayyaf terrorists in Isabela town in Basilan despite sustaining crippling wounds in the encounter. Meanwhile, the AFP welcomed Sobejana’s appointment as its next chief. “Lt. Gen. Sobejana, the incumbent Commanding General of the Philippine Army, epitomizes the finest in Filipino soldiery. He earned the Medal of Valor—the highest military award that can be bestowed to a soldier for conspicuous and singular act of gallantry above and beyond the call of duty,” military spokesperson, Marine Maj. Gen. Edgard Arevalo said in a statement.

Magalong has been widely praised

LGUs to bring agri goods to MM

Binay: Parlade now red-tagging institutions too

HE Department of Agriculture has convinced some local government units to transport their agricultural products directly to Metro Manila markets, its head said Tuesday. In a virtual briefing, Agriculture Secretary William Dar said some provinces in the Calabarzon region (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon) had delivered their initial shipments of agricultural products after collaborating with the national government and farmers’ cooperatives and organizations. “We hope to sustain these initiatives in partnership with hog and poultry raisers, and farmers’ cooperatives and associations to stabilize food supply and prices in Metro Manila,” Dar said. On Monday, some 700 kg. of assorted vegetables and two metric tons of chicken meat from Calabarzon were downloaded at the Agricultural Training Institute in Quezon City. Dar said under the “One DA Holistic Approach”, the move was part of the food security strategies aimed at bringing down the prices of basic food items. In the coming days, more shipments of vegetables and poultry products will arrive in Metro Manila, DA 4-A (Calabarzon) OIC Director Vilma Dimaculangan said. The towns of Taytay and Coron in Palawan and the province of Marinduque have also shipped initial deliveries of hogs as part of the holistic efforts. Aside from vegetables, 612 hogs were delivered to Pasay and Alabang for slaughter and trade through the initiative of DA 4-B (Mimaropa) Director Antonio Gerundio. On Tuesday evening, 80 metric tons of pinakbet vegetables arrived at the Juliana market in Balintawak through DA 3 (Central Luzon) Director Crispulo Bautista’s efforts.

By Joel E. Zurbano TASK Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict spokesperson Lt. Gen. Antonio Parlade Jr. is not only red-tagging personalities, but also institutions when he claimed the country’s top universities were recruiting grounds for the New People’s Army, former Vice President Jejomar Binay said Wednesday. “He is now red-tagging institutions,” said Binay. He made his statement even as Senator Pia Cayetano urged officials of the University of the Philippines and the Department of National Defense to engage in dialogue with an open mind, and in the spirit of finding solutions to differences that led to the unilateral abrogation of the 1989 UP-DND accord. “I ask both parties to come in with an open mind. Come in assuming that you have a child studying there [in UP],” Cayetano said Tuesday as the Senate tackled a resolution expressing its sense to welcome the DND’s decision to answer various calls for a dialogue with UP on the termination of the long-standing agreement. Binay accused the military of mounting an assault on critical thinking. “They want our universities to produce citizens who are pliant, obedient, and unquestioning. They forget that critical thinking leads to advances in science, medicine, arts, and society. Stifle it and you choke progress,” he said. On Saturday, Parlade tagged 18 schools in the Philippines as “recruitment havens for the New People’s Army.” Those schools include the University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University, Far Eastern University and University of Santo Tomas. “By attempting to stifle critical thinking, they are also stifling democracy itself, since democracy draws its strength from critical thinking and the process of renewal that it proffers,” said Binay.

Customs: P10.6b in smuggled goods in 2020 By Vito Barcelo THE Bureau of Customs’ campaign against smuggling and other fraud, has resulted in the seizure of over P10.629 billion worth of smuggled goods in 2020. Customs recorded 997 seizures from January 2020 to December 2020 due to its increased intelligence and enforcement operations as well as its strengthened examination and inspection at the

ports nationwide. Imported cigarettes and tobacco products topped the list corresponding to about 204 seizure cases worth P5.774 billion, the Customs statement said. Next on the list is P1.855 billion worth of illegal drugs seized through tne combined efforts of the Bureau of Customs and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency. Various counterfeit goods amounting to P1.056 billion were also confiscated during the year. The Bureau also seized

P32.585 million worth of various types of undeclared foreign currencies. Likewise, Customs busted several smuggled personal protective equipment, medica supplies, and cosmetics with an estimated value of P196.580 million. General merchandise worth P406.377 million, vehicles and automobile accessories valued at P356.532 million, and agricultural products amounting to P284.622 million without permits and clearances were likewise seized by Customs in 2020.

House OKs SSS rate hike hold By Maricel V. Cruz THE House of Representatives on Wednesday approved on second reading a bill granting President Rodrigo Duterte the power to suspend the scheduled increases in contribution rates of the Social Security System (SSS) “in times of national emergencies.” The chamber approved House Bill 8512 through a voice voting. The bill, principally authored by Speaker Lord Allan Velasco, amends the Social Security Act of 2018 providing for the gradual increases in the monthly premium contributions of SSS members. The Social Security Act of 2018 mandates a one percent increase in the contribution of its members this year, bringing the monthly contribution rate to 13 percent.

The bill provides that the President, in consultation with the Secretaries of the Department of Health and the Department of Finance as chairpersons of SSS, shall be empowered “to suspend the implementation of the scheduled increases in premium rates in times of national emergencies when public interest so requires.” Velasco earlier warned that increasing the rate of contributions of SSS members would “strikingly undermine the recovery effort of everyone suffering from job losses, wage reduction, business closures, and health-related issues.” He noted that as of October 2020, the unemployment rate in the country still stood at 8.7 percent, which is equivalent to 3.8 million Filipinos in the labor force. According to the House leader, Filipinos have barely recovered from the losses and difficulties brought by COVID-19.

SENATOR Grace Poe, chair of the Senate committee on public services, will create a Technical Working Group to study the proposed measure to remove the expiration of all cellphone load. During yesterday’s hearing on proposed measures proposals for a nonexpiry prepaid load and registration of subscriber identity module (SIM) cards, Poe cited the need to study the details of removing the load expiration and to listen to the sides of telcos. Telco representatives told the Senate hearing that expiration of load is needed due to their additional carrying cost. They

also cited the difficulties to be encountered by their database. At present, the expiration of load is one year. “It will hit your bottom line. I remind the telco if you don’t suggest something that is practical and easily implemented, eventually it might be difficult for you and may not be commercially viable so help us draft this committee report,” she said. The National Telecommunications aired its support to get rid of the expiration of load. NTC Deputy Commissioner EDUARDO CABARIOS said it is their view that as the number of subscribers increases, that cost is decreased.

Chiz, Villanueva stay on top of senatorial preference survey SORSOGON Gov. Francis Escudero and Senator Joel Villanueva continued to hold sway at the latest polling of potential senatorial bets for the 2022 general elections. Though losing as much as 9 points from the previous survey in December last year, Escudero remained at the head of the pack with 64.6% in the polling done by WR Numero Research, a technology-driven polling and data analytics firm. Villanueva, who is up for reelection, remained in the second spot with 56.6% in the same survey, which was conducted on Jan. 11 to 16. The strong showings of Escudero, a two-term senator, and Villanueva, a

technocrat who propelled TESDA and the tech-voc sector to greater heights, indicate the importance of empowering political bailiwicks and spreading the success to the other parts of the country, analysts said. In the case of Escudero, his performance as Sorsogon governor was put to the test in the pandemic, which he continues to be successful, and this is coupled with the fact that he positively benefits from the star power he draws from his celebrity wife, actress Heart Evangelista. On the other hand, Villanueva has been all business in his first term in the Upper Chamber, passing significant pieces of legislation

to advance his advocacies on labor and education. Popularly endeared to the people as “TESDAMAN,” Villanueva is among the lawmakers in the Senate who has an unblemished attendance record at the plenary. Both politicians remained mum about their political plans, with Villanueva pointing out that he was preoccupied with ensuring commitments of the national government to provide access to vaccines to essential workers in the inoculation program. Following Villanueva in the survey are reelectionists Senators Sherwin Gatchalian (55.4%) and Juan Miguel Zubiri (55.1%).

Trans-Mindanao superhighway set By Maricel V. Cruz

PANEL in the House of Representatives has approved the proposed construction of a 240-kilometer transMindanao superhighway. The House committee on public works and highways chaired by Romblon Rep. Eleandro Madrona recommended for plenary approval House Bill 2799 authored by deputy speaker and Cagayan de Oro City second-district Rep. Rufus Rodriguez. Rodriguez said the construction of the highway that would connect the Caraga Region and northern Mindanao to the Laguindingan International Airport in Misamis Oriental would greatly contribute to the development of the island of Mindanao. “At present, Agusan del Sur and Surigao del Sur are isolated from western Mindanao due to absence of an eastto-west highway,” he said. “Also, the proposed highway would allow people from the Caraga Region access to the Laguindingan Airport, with travel time of four hours from Tandag City in Surigao del Sur,” he said. With such a road network, people in these parts of Mindanao would no longer have to go to Cebu or Manila for travels within and outside the country, he added. “Further, a new highway would open up large tracts of agricultural land in Surigao del Sur, Agusan del Sur, Bukidnon, Misamis Oriental, and Cagayan de Oro City to agricultural, commercial, residential, and industrial development,” Rodriguez stressed. The bill mandates the Department of Public Works and Highways to construct the 240-kilometer trans-Mindanao highway that would connect Tandag to the Laguindingan International Airport. “This superhighway would pass through Prosperidad in Agusan del Sur and Malaybalay and Talakag in Bukidnon, which will connect with Talakag-Barangay Donsolihon road and the Barangay Donsolihon-Barangay San Simon-Laguindingan Airport highway,” Rodriguez said.

‘Most QC citizens applying for ID ready for jabs’ By Rio N. Araja MAJORITY of Quezon City residents who have applied for the QCitizen ID are willing to be inoculated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. City Administrator Michael Alimurung said of the more than 44,000 applicants so far for the QC ID, 57.6 percent replied “yes” to the question “would you be willing to be vaccinated against COVID-19?” that was included in the application for the QC ID. Only 9.1 percent applicants are reluctant to be inoculated with the COVID-19 vaccine, while 33.3 percent applicants are undecided, he said. “Many of those who refused to be injected are worried about the efficacy and safety of the vaccine while others have health issues such as allergies,” he added. Of the undecided, most of them are having second thoughts about the side effects while others would base their final decision on what brand of vaccine would be used by the city government. “Others said that they want to ensure the safety and effectivity of the vaccines before they decide on the matter,” Alimurung said. The city government is scheduled to go down to the barangays for the manual application for the QC ID, where they would also ask residents about their view regarding the COVID-19 vaccines. It has entered into a tripartite agreement with the AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals Philippines and the national government for the initial delivery of 1.1 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines. According to Alimurung, the city is also coordinating with different pharmaceutical companies for additional doses of vaccines for its citizens. The city government is assuring its people that only vaccines that have passed all standards and have complied with requirements from stringent regulatory authorities here and abroad would be procured, Mayor Joy Belmonte said.

Lazatin gets Angeles council nod for P600-m vaccine loan By Jess Malabanan ANGELES CITY—The Sangguniang Panlungsod unanimously approved a resolution filed by City Councilor Arvin Suller authorizing Mayor Carmelo Lazatin Jr., to negotiate with credible financial institution for a P600 million loan to acquire anti-coronavirus vaccines for the city residents.

This develops as Lazatin Jr.’s Chief Adviser and Tactician IC Calaguas said the city government has the capacity to service the P600 million loan citing the present P2.9 billion net borrowing by the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF). “Huwag pong mag-alala ang mga kababayan natin sa pagbabayad ng P600 million na i-lo-loan natin para

sa mga COVID-19 vaccines, dahil ang siyudad po ay mayroong net borrowing capacity na P2.9 billion,” said Calaguas. The net borrowing capacity of Angeles City Calaguas said is P2.9 billion as certified by the BLGF. Ang ibig pong sabihin, hindi po kailangang magtaas ang siyudad ng pagsisingil sa mga taxes. Kayang-kaya po

nating magbayad base sa estado po ng ating finances. She said the requirements for the loan are now ready to be submitted to the financial institutions tomorrow, January 27, 2021. In a statement over the weekend, Mayor Lazatin said the city government is just putting to good use the city’s net borrowing capacity.

BARMM children get learning aids TO SUSTAIN another year of inclusive learning, wireless services provider Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) and Save the Children Philippines jointly donated four School-in-a-Bag packages for learning communities in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). Under the partnership, four portable digital classrooms will be deployed to schools in Lumba-Bayabao, Lanao Del Sur, including an Integrated Madrasah. Madrasah Education is a comprehensive program in public and private schools that aims to provide basic education curriculum within the context of Muslim culture, customs, traditions, and interests through the integration

of the Arabic Language and Islamic Values Education (ALIVE). A #LearnSmart initiative, the School-in-a-Bag is designed to provide access to technology, connectivity, content, and disaster-resilient learning strategies even for schools in remote areas without electricity. Each water-resistant backpack carries a laptop for the teacher, 20 tablets for students to access award-winning interactive applications even if offline, and a Smart LTE pocket WiFi which teachers can use to download additional content wherever there is power and connectivity. The total value of each School-in-a-bag is P200,000 or approximately USD4,100.

Malapitan leads local bridge repair By Jun David CALOOCAN Rep. Dale “Along” Malapitan has ordered the immediate inspection and repair of a three-meter bridge in Barangay 31 of Maypajo in the second district of Caloocan City to safeguard residents from untoward accidents in case the rundown bridge collapses. Malapitan likewise directed barangay officials to do the necessary repair works on another bridge that also connects Talilong and Paulicas streets to other streets in Barangay 31.

“This bridge (that connects Talilong and Paulicas streets) has been providing service to the people of Maypajo and has endured calamities that we all have been experiencing over the years such as earthquakes, floods, and typhoons that eventually brought it to its current state,” Malapitan said. The congressman’s action was in reaction to an appeal made by Emma Flores Jativa, a resident of Barangay 31, who expressed concern about the dangers posed by the dilapidated bridge to the 25 families living in the area.

Tributes pour in for Odon Sabarre

By Rey E. Requejo

TACLOBAN CITY—Heartfelt tributes poured in for Odon Ramon Salva Sabarre on Wednesday after the renowned ballet dancer and church worker from Eastern Visayas region died due to a failing health condition. He was 69. “Sir Odon was a mentor to many ballet and jazz enthusiasts in the region and throughout the Philippines and abroad, and truly, one of Samar’s pride. Thank you, Sir, for sharing your talent to the world, and may you find peace in God’s arms,” wrote Professor Jhonil Bajado, head of Samar State University Museum and Archives and adviser of the Social Studies Circle. A native of Calbiga, Samar, Sabarre rose to stardom in the 1970s, along with his late brother Tommy, after he became the first Filipino dance scholar to Russia through then First Lady Imelda Marcos, with the sponsorship of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP).

A NUEVA Ecija trial court judge is facing administrative investigation by the Supreme Court for gross misconduct, gross incompetence, and gross ignorance of the law for alleged issuance of unlawful orders unseating a town mayor. This came after the Office of the Court Administrator ordered Judge Angelo Perez of Cabanatuan City Regional Trial Court, Branch 27, to file his comment on the complaint filed against him by Jaen, Nueva Ecija Mayor Sylvia Austria accusing him of irregularities in resolving the election protest entitled Antonio Prospero Esquivel vs. Sylvia C. Austria, while sitting as Acting Judge of RTC, Branch 87, of Gapan, Nueva Ecija. “The Comment should be submitted within 10 days from receipt of this

Perez was required to comment on the verif ied complaint dated November 11, 2020 f iled by Austria. Meanwhile, complainant Austria also asked the Supreme Court to investigate the entire RTC, Branch 87, of Gapan, Nueva Ecija for conspiracy, in connection with the alleged irregularities committed by Perez to favor Esquivel, the opposing mayoralty bet. In a separate verified complaint, Austria filed administrative charges against Branch 87 Clerk of Court Atty. Maureen R. Genetiano-Pabaira; Branch Sheriff Jorge L. Battung and prayed that the respondents be penalized.

100m virus cases worldwide; US seeks to reset COVID fight

ASHINGTON—More than 100 million Covid-19 cases have now been recorded worldwide, according to an AFP tally on Tuesday, as newlyinaugurated President Joe Biden pledged to ramp up the United States’s struggling vaccine program.

Peru enters two-week coronavirus lockdown

The number of cases, compiled from data provided by national health agencies, represents just a fraction of the real infections as the coronavirus has spread around the globe. The United States, which passed 25 million confirmed cases last weekend, remains the country with the largest outbreak—and the largest death toll of over

SIXTEEN million Peruvians will enter a two-week coronavirus lockdown covering a third of the country at the end of January, Peru’s interim president said Tuesday. The South American nation’s healthcare system has been overwhelmed by the Covid-19 pandemic -- with only 500 intensive care beds for a population of 32 million -- with authorities reporting a spike in deaths as infections increase. The country’s lockdown will run from January 31 to February 14, interim president Francisco Sagasti said in a televised address, blaming the soaring Covid infections on end-of-year gatherings. “We must all contribute so that the suffering does not extend to new people,” Sagasti said. The mandatory lockdown will affect 16.4 million people -- half of Peru’s population -- and include the capital Lima. Only essential services such as markets, pharmacies and banks can remain open. Churches were ordered closed. In areas not affected by the strict lockdown restrictions remain in place, such as curfews and bans on social gatherings. Sagasti also announced a halt on flights from Brazil -- the country with the world’s second highest coronavirus death toll after the US. Peru’s average daily caseload has risen from around 1,000 to more than 5,000, figures not seen since the height of the pandemic last year. AFP

Changes to tongue, hands, feet may flag virus: study

420,000. Biden is seeking to turn around the fight against the virus, which took a ferocious grip on the country during Donald Trump’s presidency when the risks were downplayed and officials gave mixed messages on mask-wearing other safety measures. Biden said vaccinating the entire US

population was a daunting challenge, and the program inherited from the Trump administration “was in worse shape than we anticipated or expected.” “This is a war-time undertaking. It’s not hyperbole,” he said, announcing the US was buying an additional 200 million doses and will have enough to vaccinate 300 million Americans—virtually the entire population—by early fall. In another day of grim milestones, Britain surged past 100,000 Covid-19 deaths, and other European nations looked to tighten their borders, hoping to keep out new, more transmissible virus strains. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it

was “hard to compute” the loss felt by British families after his country became the first European country to surpass 100,000 Covid-19 deaths. But he said his government, which faced criticism over its initial response to the outbreak, “did everything that we could to minimize suffering and minimize loss of life.” ‘Drastic measures’ According to the London Times, the UK government will announce Wednesday that British travellers must quarantine in hotels near airports for 10 days after returning from 30 high-risk countries, mostly in South America and Southern Africa.

MADRID—Changes to the tongue, the hands or the soles of the feet could give an early indication of Covid-19 infection, Spanish researchers found in a study presented Tuesday. The conclusions emerged from research carried out among 666 patients with Covid-19 at Madrid’s IFEMA field hospital set up during the first wave of the pandemic, the regional government said. One in four patients said they had noticed changes to their tongue, while four out of 10 spotted unusual signs on the palms of their hands or soles of their feet. The study was carried out in April by healthcare professionals from Madrid’s La Paz hospital and primary care services, with the findings published in the British Journal of Dermatology in the form of a “research letter” in September. Some patients reported a swelling of the tongue and the appearance of patches, in what has been dubbed ‘Covid tongue’, which on many occasions was associated with a loss of taste. Another symptom was a burning sensation and redness on the palms or solesManila of the feet, which in some cases Standard was followed by the appearance of TODAY small blemishes. “Almost half of patients with mildto-moderate Covid-19 admitted in a field-hospital during a two-week period showed mucocutaneous findings,” the letter said. “The oral cavity was frequently involved and deserves specific examination under appropriate circumstances to avoid contagion risk.” AFP

Why scientists think UK variant could be deadlier PARIS—The announcement that the coronavirus strain sweeping Britain could be more deadly as well as more transmissible has raised fresh concerns about the variant that has spread to dozens of countries. Initially British experts said that their evidence suggested the new strain circulating in the UK—one of several to have emerged internationally in recent months —was between 50 percent and 70 percent more transmissible. On Friday, however, the government said the new variant could also be 30-40 percent more deadly, although it stressed the assessment relied on sparse data. What has changed? In mid-January, two separate studies by London School of Hygiene and

Tropical Medicine and Imperial College London were presented to Britain’s New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (NERVTAG). They linked data from people who tested positive for the virus in the community—rather than in hospital—with death data and found a roughly 30 percent increase in the risk of death associated with the new strain. The groups used slightly different methods, but both matched people with the new variant to those with the older variants, taking into account other variables like age and location and controlling for hospitals being under pressure. Other studies by Exeter University and Public Health England also found higher deaths and both came up with

even higher figures. Based on these analyses, NERVTAG said there was “a realistic possibility” that infection with the new variant is associated with an increased risk of death compared with previously circulating variants. The increase in transmissibility associated to the variant was already causing alarm, because the more people the virus infects the more people will suffer serious illness and the risk of death. “Unfortunately, it looks as if this virus might be both” more infectious and potentially more deadly, John Edmunds, a professor in LSHTM’s Centre for the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases, told a press briefing Monday. “So it’s really a serious turn for the worse unfortunately,” he said.

ANOTHER VIRUS VICTIM FALLS. Soldiers

IN BRIEF Chinese flyovers in Taiwan a ‘solemn warning’ CHINESE military exercises near Taiwan are a “solemn warning to external forces”, Beijing said Wednesday, after the new US government expressed strong support for the selfruled island. China views democratic Taiwan as part of its territory that must one day be reunified, by force if necessary, and the issue has quickly become a flashpoint for Joe Biden’s administration. The State Department said over the weekend that US commitment to Taiwan was “rock-solid”, as Taipei reported multiple Chinese jets and bombers had flown into its air defence zone.. AFP

THREE LGBT rights protesters have CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK been arrested in Singapore after taking part in a tiny, rare demonstration triggered by the government’s alleged mistreatment of a transgender student, police said Wednesday. The tightly-regulated city-state has tough laws against public protests, which are usually not allowed without a police permit -- rarely granted -- regardless of the number attending. Five people demonstrated outside the education ministry Tuesday over the treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students, waving placards that read “trans students will not be erased” and “#Fix schools not students”.

BRITISH citizens returning home from roughly 30 countries deemed at “high risk” from new coronavirus variants could soon have to quarantine in hotels, reports said on Wednesday. Beefed-up rules will require the travellers to stay in hotels near airports for 10 days, according to the Times and BBC. Non-UK arrivals from the targeted destinations -- which include South America, Portugal, Cape Verde and South Africa -- are already barred following the discovery of two virus variants in Brazil and South Africa. Beefed-up rules will require the travellers to stay in hotels near airports for 10 days, according to the Times and BBC. Non-UK arrivals from the targeted destinations -- which include South America, Portugal, Cape Verde11 and South Africa -- are already barred following the discovery of two virus variants in Brazil and South Africa. The 10-day quarantine will cost re-

turning Britons £1,500 ($2,060, 1,697 euros), with meals served at the bedroom door and security guards supervising stays. Interior minister Priti Patel is due to make a statement in parliament later on Wednesday on the borders policy after a meeting of the government’s Covid-19 operations committee. Housing minister Robert Jenrick told Sky News the government would be taking “further steps... to ensure that there is less flow of individuals” returning but gave no further details. The Times reported ministers were divided between those backing the limited quarantine regime and those favouring a blanket policy requiring arrivals from all destinations to self-isolate in hotels. The main opposition Labour Party’s health spokesman Jonathan Ashworth said stricter border measures were long overdue and urged the government to consider a more comprehensive policy. AFP

lockdown vs virus

HONG KONG has begun using “ambush lockdowns” to suddenly close off and test everyone inside neighbourhoods where coronavirus cases have spiked, as a spate of recent outbreaks lay bare the rampant inequality in the wealthy Chinese finance hub. Police cordoned off a row of densely packed tenement buildings in the Yau Ma Tei area overnight on Tuesday through to Wednesday morning to conduct mandatory tests. The new tactic involves authorities giving no warning of an impending lockdown. City leader Carrie Lam said such “ambush style” lockdowns were needed to ensure people did not flee before testers move in. “I thank residents in the restricted area for their cooperation,” she wrote on her Facebook page Wednesday as the lockdown was lifted.

Virus impacts on UK, Wales prisoners CONCERN is growing about the potential long-term impact of the coronavirus pandemic on prisoners in England and Wales, even though jails have avoided the worst predictions about infections. Covid-19 cases and deaths have been kept below the dire forecasts at the start of the crisis by imposing restrictions on prisons. New arrivals have been quarantined, those with symptoms and the most vulnerable isolated, but often at the expense of maintaining only the most basic aspects of the regime. Food, medication and showers are still provided, alongside minimal daily exercise, with prisoners kept inside their cells almost all the time. AFP

HE stock market extended its slump Wednesday, weighed down by prospects of a prolonged economic recovery after President Duterte rejected the easing of age restrictions in areas under a modified general community quarantine in a bid to help revive the retail industry.

The Philippine Stock Exchange Index tumbled 113.55 points, or 1.6 percent, to 6,863.61 on a value turnover of P10.7 billion. Gainers, however, edged losers,

112 to 101, with 50 issues unchanged. Universal Robina Corp., the biggest maker of snack foods, sank 5.3 percent to P143, while major property developer Ayala Land Inc. fell 3 percent to P38.80. BDO Unibank Inc., the largest lender in terms of assets, dropped 3.2 percent to P104.50, while sister unit SM Prime Holdings Inc. of the Sy Group fell 2.4 percent to P36.80. The rest of Equity investors in Asia, meanwhile, trod warily Wednesday as they weighed hopes for a long-term recovery against immediate worries over surging virus infections and mutations—and slow vaccine rollouts. Wall Street’s three main indexes ended in the red and Asia struggled to rebound from Tuesday’s sell-off.

Hong Kong fell again after being battered Tuesday by the Chinese central bank’s decision to drain billions of dollars out of the financial system as it looked to prevent an asset bubble developing. Sydney, Seoul, Mumbai, Bangkok and Jakarta also fell but Tokyo, Singapore, Shanghai, Taipei and Wellington rose. Signs that US President Joe Biden’s much-vaunted stimulus could face a tough ride through Congress also tempered optimism, while there was increasing talk of a market correction following a recent global rally. With new, more transmissible versions of the coronavirus spreading rapidly through populations, governments are being forced to impose strict con-

Volta Trucks set to launch electric lorry LONDON—Anglo-Swedish startup Volta Trucks will launch its urban electric lorry this year, the group said Wednesday, tapping into keen demand for electrified transport—and increasing bans against high-polluting vehicles. Volta Trucks has developed what it bills as the world’s first purpose-built fully-electric 16-ton commercial vehicle which is designed to criss-cross cities for short journeys. The young firm, which was founded in Sweden in 2019, this week sealed a $20-million (16.5-million-euro) investment to help boost production of the Volta Zero which has a driving range of 150-200 kilometers (93-124 miles). And despite humble plans so far, the truck already has an order book worth $260 million—regardless of ongoing turmoil surrounding Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. “We are a Scandinavian company with a UK operating base and we have presence in France as well,” Volta Trucks chief executive Rob Fowler told AFP. “We operate in the UK because of access to automotive specialists and to be close to our target markets. “We intend to put between 12 and 20 vehicles onto the road at the end of the year and we intend to scale up manufacturing at the end of 2022.” Volta targets distribution, logistics and removal firms that seek to switch away from diesel and gasoline-powered trucks that pollute city centers. France’s Petit Forestier, which is Europe’s biggest refrigerated lorry rental firm, has already signed a contract for 1,000 units. However, Volta is still seeking to a permanent manufacturing partner to produce the trucks. The company has so far only produced one prototype, which was produced last year by UK automotive firm Prodrive. “We are in the final stage of negotiations with a number of manufacturing partners in different parts of Europe and the UK,” said Fowler. AFP

tainment measures and their efforts to administer jabs are hampered by distribution problems. Biden said Tuesday that getting people vaccinated was “a war-time undertaking” but added that an additional 200 million doses had been ordered and that authorities would have enough for virtually the entire population by autumn. Still, there is concern that the drugs will be less effective against new strains of the virus—though manufacturers have moved to reassure the public that they will not be. Observers said that while the outlook was positive—the International Monetary Fund has lifted its 2021 global growth forecasts—the first few months of the year could be painful. With AFP

ROUND-THE-CLOCK CURFEW. People shop at a market in Lebanon’s northern port city of Tripoli, on January 26, 2021. Lebanon has imposed a round-the-clock curfew nationwide since January 14, barred non-essential workers from leaving their homes and restricted grocery shopping to deliveries.

Saudi Arabia hosts ‘Davos in Desert’ amid pandemic RIYADH, Saudi Arabia—Saudi Arabia will host a two-day Davos-style investment forum starting Wednesday, with dozens of global policy makers and business tycoons lined up to speak at the partly virtual event amid the coronavirus pandemic. Around 150 speakers will participate in the fourth edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII), organizers said, seeking to showcase the insular kingdom as a dynamic investment destination. Around 100 speakers will participate virtually from FII hubs in New York, Paris, Beijing and Mumbai and 50 will attend the conference in-person in Riyadh, they added. The participants include Goldman Sachs chief executive David Solomon,

Stephen Schwarzman, head of private equity firm Blackstone, American asset management company Blackrock’s chief executive Larry Fink and former Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt, organizers said. The summit, earlier slated to be held last October, comes amid the pandemic that has battered the global economy. “There has never been a more important time for leaders, investors and policy makers to come together to work towards re-energizing the global economy,” Yasir al-Rumayyan, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, said in a statement. The summit, dubbed “Davos in the desert,” was launched by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in 2017 to woo foreign investors and promote his Vision 2030 diversification plan to

wean the economy off its dependence on petro-dollars. But the following year, the fallout over journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents in Istanbul prompted a wave of business and political leaders to pull out of the glitzy conference at the last minute. The murder at Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Istanbul triggered one of the top crude exporter’s worst ever diplomatic and public relations crises. The conference saw a reboot in 2019 as global outrage over the murder subsided. The forum is billed as an economic coming-out party for the petro-state, seeking to diversify away from oil— and authorities are eager to project the kingdom’s economic ambitions. AFP

WASHINGTON—The Federal Reserve will on Wednesday conclude its first meeting since US President Joe Biden took office, and while the central bank is certain to comment on the health of the country’s economy amid the COVID-19 pandemic, analysts say it’s unlikely to change its main policies. The policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will almost certainly keep interest rates at their rock-bottom level following the conclusion of its two days of deliberations, held as the world’s largest economy endures the worst coronavirus outbreak globally with a death toll topping 420,000. But markets will nonetheless closely follow the statement released after the meeting and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference to see if policymakers remain optimistic about US growth prospects. While vaccines have raised hopes about a solid recovery, snags in distribution and a new wave of infections could dampen enthusiasm among businesses and consumers, even as stock markets have hit successive records. “The Fed has been consistent in the view that the course of the virus determines the course of the economy. The surge in cases, hospitalizations and fatalities since the last meeting has been staggering,” said Grant Thornton economist Diane Swonk. Biden has proposed a $1.9-trillion rescue package that the IMF estimates would boost economic growth by five percent over three years. Powell has repeatedly highlighted the need for government spending to take over the role of supporting the economy from the central bank. And it will be up to Janet Yellen, Powell’s predecessor as Fed chief who is now Biden’s Treasury secretary, to take up the lead in pushing that stimulus package through Congress. AFP

The end of offices? New York’s business districts face uncertain future By Peter Hutchison NEW YORK—Boarded-up stores, shuttered restaurants and empty office towers: COVID-19 has turned New York’s famous business districts into ghost towns, with companies scrambling to come up with ways to entice workers to return post-pandemic. “If they don’t come back, we’re sunk,” said Kenneth McClure, vice president of Hospitality Holdings, whose Midtown bistro pre-coronavirus would buzz with the sound of financiers striking deals at lunch and sharing cocktails after a hard day at the office.The group has closed its six restaurants and bars in Manhattan, two of them permanently, due to lockdown restrictions that have paused office culture—a culture as intrinsic to the Big Apple as a Broadway show, a yellow taxi or a slice of cheese pizza. “Customers that you saw three, four, five times a week just virtually disappeared,” McClure told AFP, recalling March of last year when the pandemic first swept New York, where it has killed more than 26,000 people. According to data collected by security firm Kastle Systems, only 14 percent of New York’s more than one million office workers had returned to their desks by the middle of January, putting the countless sandwich shops and small businesses in Midtown and Wall Street at risk. With vaccines now rolling out,

corporations and business leaders are grappling with how to attract employees back after spending the best part of a year working from home, and in turn maintaining the character of business districts. Seventy-nine percent of employees questioned in a PricewaterhouseCoopers survey published this month said that working remotely had been a success, but the report also found that offices are not about to be consigned to history.

Some 87 percent of employees said the office was important to them for collaborating with team members and building relationships, aspects of working life they felt was easier and more rewarding in person than over Zoom. “Being here, seeing my colleagues and getting out of the house, it changes my mood for the whole week,” said Jessica Lappin, speaking to AFP from her office at the Alliance for Downtown New York, where she is president.

Few workers plan on being in offices Monday to Friday, nine to five, though. “The vast majority of employees say a hybrid system of two-to-three days working from home and two-tothree days working in the office is their preferred approach,” said Deniz Caglar, co-author of the PwC report. Experts say companies should transform their offices away from places where employees come to send emails or make phone calls, which they can do at home, towards more appealing spaces suited for mentoring, camaraderie and fostering creativity. ‘New future’ That could mean larger, more flexible conference rooms rather than cubicles, something as simple as better decor, outdoor space like a balcony or terrace and “hoteling,” where workers schedule use of a workspace as opposed to every employee having their own desk. “Think of it as a theater, where you have different sets for different scenes,” David Smith, co-author of a Cushman & Wakefield report about workplaces of the future, told AFP. It may also mean offices becoming more multipurpose—facilities such as gyms, cafes, launderettes and concierge services that make employees feel their commute is worthwhile—accelerating a trend that was growing before coronavirus, experts say.

Nine companies offering 1,800-MW supply to Meralco

Business Cavite drops $10-b airport deal with MacroAsia and China firm By Darwin G. Amojelar

HE Cavite provincial government said Wednesday it canceled a joint venture agreement with a consortium led by China Communication Construction Co. and MacroAsia Corp. of tycoon Lucio Tan on the proposed $10-billion international airport in Sangley Point, Cavite.

“Due to the various deficiencies of the submission of requirements to conclude the joint venture agreement for the Sangley Point International Airport, the Cavite Provincial Government Special Selection Committee has recommended the non-approval of the redevelopment of the former airbase as presented by the applying parties,” Cavite Governor Jonvic Remulla said. Remulla said he accepted and approved the recommendation of the PPP Selection Committee. MarcoAsia confirmed in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange its notice of selection award for the Sangley Point Airport issued in February 2020 was canceled by the Cavite provincial government. Remulla said despite the cancelled negotiations, the Sang-

ley airport project would restart and “hopefully have a successful negotiation with any qualified partner by October 2021.” “I still believe that a new international airport is important for the country in the long run and it must be stressed that cancellation is not in prejudice of anyone applying again,” he said. The provincial government of Cavite is the lead proponent and implementing agency of the project which supports the Transportation Department’s multi-airport strategy to decongest Ninoy Aquino International Airport, the country’s main international gateway whose passenger volume was already 40-percent above its design capacity of 31 million passengers yearly. The Manila International Airport Authority earlier rejected the original proponent status of Megawide-GMR to rehabilitate NAIA for P109 billion. These developments will boost San Miguel Corp.’s construction of the P734-billion New Manila International Airport in Bulakan, Bulacan. The Bulacan airport is expected to be completed by 2025. The airport project, to be built at no cost to the government, is seen to solve the perennial congestion problems at the country’s primary gateway. This airport will initially feature four parallel runways with a provision for two more, a world-class terminal and an infrastructure network that will include a mass rail system to ensure easy connectivity.

By Alena Mae S. Flores NINE power companies with combined offers of 5,850 megawatts participated in the competitive selection process for the supply of 1,800 MW to Manila Electric Co. over a 20-year period. “Nine submissions were received by the deadline, equivalent to 5,850 MW of capacity offered to supply the 1,800MW requirement undergoing CSP,” Meralco vice president and head of utility economics department Lawrence Fernandez said Wednesday. There were initially 18 companies that expressed interest to participate with offers totaling 7,000 MW. “Some formally withdrew their participation, while others did not submit their documents by the deadline,” Fernandez said. He said the offers came from several technologies such as liquefied natural gas, coal and renewable energy. Sources said of the nine bidders, three were from San Miguel Corp. with a total offer of 2,400 MW. The three companies are Excellent Energy Resources Inc. which is building an LNG facility in Batangas, Mariveles Power Generation Corp. and Masinloc Power Partners Ltd. Other bidders are St. Raphael Power Generation Inc. of the Consunji Group, Atimonan One Energy Inc. of Meralco PowerGen Corp. and GNPower Dinginin Ltd. which is controlled by Aboitiz Power Corp. New player Kingstone Energy, Santa Cruz Solar Energy Inc. of the Ayala Group and Solar Philippines also submitted offers. Fernandez said Meralco, the country’s biggest power distributor with over seven million customers in its franchise area, plans to open the price offers by Feb. 10. “Due to the number of potential bidders, the TPBAC, with the support of the TWG and the independent engineer to be engaged, will need time to evaluate the documents to be submitted,” Fernandez said earlier, explaining the longer time in opening the price offers. Meralco last year published the terms of reference for the invitation to bid for 1,800 MW of supply, including 1,200 MW which should be available by December 2024 and 600 MW by May 2025.

Thailand says PH safeguard duty on cars a retaliatory act By Othel V. Campos THE Ministry of Industry of Thailand said Wednesday the Philippines’ effort to impose safeguard measures on car imports is illegal as this would be seen as retaliation to the cigarette tax dispute between the two Southeast Asian countries. A representative of Ministry of Industry of Thailand said during the first hearing of the Philippine Tariff Commission on the proposed additional tariffication of imported cars that “any acts of brinksmanship will erode goodwill in the ongoing discussion and settlement would all be the more difficult.” Thailand, in opposition to the Philippine proposal, said the move for safeguards would be inconsistent with the Philippine trade obligation under article 1 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade or the most favored nation clause requiring a country to provide any concessions, privileges or immunities granted to one nation in a trade agreement to all other World Trade Organization member countries. It called on the Philippines to respect the tariff bindings under GATT and refrain from imposing restrictions on imports in the form of additional tariff. “Any retaliation by the Philippines against Thailand [cigarette] case will cause unequivocal damage to both sides,” Thailand said. The Philippine Department of Trade and Industry earlier said the only way it could pressure Thailand to cooperate on the cigarette tax case would be to impose higher taxes, through safeguard duties, on certain products exported from Thailand to the Philippines, including automobiles. Some 37 tariff lines from Thailand stand to lose concessions and may be subjected to higher duties, according to a recent report form the TC.

Bloomberg faces mounting pressure Group: Funding to explain funding of Philippines’ FDA broadband project boon to economy

ANTI-TOBACCO Bloomberg foundation faces mounting pressure to explain the release of funds to the Philippines Food and Drug Administration which international public health experts and tobacco harm reduction advocates said could be tantamount to influencing the decision of the regulator. University of Ottawa Center for Health Law and Policy advisory committee chair Prof. David Sweanor said the donation made by Bloomberg groups to the Philippines FDA could sway the regulatory agency’s future decisions and take away its independent judgment when it comes to tobacco control. The FDA was tasked to prepare the implementing guidelines for the regulation of electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products as provided for by two laws. “It is essential that regulatory bodies have the trust of the public. Accepting foreign funding from sources with a vested interest in compromising the

FDA’s independence can rapidly destroy that trust. In this case, the money ultimately comes from a US entity with an abstinence-only agenda on low-risk alternatives to cigarettes,” Sweanor said. More international experts on public health agree with Sweanor, including former director of Action on Smoking and Health (UK) Clive Bates, National University of Mexico’s Institute of Nuclear Sciences senior researcher Dr. Roberto Sussman, Competitive Enterprise Institute consumer policy analyst Michelle Minton and Sydney, Australia’s St. Vincent’s Hospital Alcohol and Drug Service director Dr. Alex Wodak. Sweanor made the comment after two Filipino congressmen called for a congressional probe on the Philippines FDA’s acceptance of foreign funding from Bloomberg, which promotes an anti-vaping agenda, in possible breach of the 1987 Constitution and several laws.

The MAXhub has already hired 114 associates with recruitment ongoing.

THE National Broadband Plan can be funded by developmental loans to sustain long-term economic recovery, independent think tank Stratbase Albert del Rosario Institute said Wednesday. Stratbase ADRi president Prof. Dindo Manhit said in a statement the implementation of the National Broadband Plan should be prioritized as a critical infrastructure project in the government loan portfolio that will generate long-term benefits to public and private ecosystems. “This is critical in meeting the increasing demand for reliable and fast broadband services needed by all sectors to sustain operations,” he said. “This brings to front a strategic challenge that if not addressed with urgency, will negatively affect the country’s economic recovery and competitiveness in a new digital driven economy,” Manhit said. According to the IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking 2020, ASEAN governments are upgrading telecommunications infrastructure, with Malaysia spending $233 million for increasing coverage and broadband speed. Thailand is investing $343 million to connect thousands of villages while Vietnam is spending $820 million for a 23,000-kilometer submarine cable system. “Given the region’s aggressive investments to upgrade wired and wireless networks, the Philippine government should take the cue from its ASEAN neighbors who are already investing aggressively to boost broadband services to world class levels,” Manhit said. The Department of Information and Communications Technology’s proposed P18-billion budget to implement the National Broadband Plan was only allocated less than P1.5 billion in the 2021 national budget.

THE agriculture and fishery sector contracted 1.2 percent in 2020 but is expected to rebound by 2.5 percent in 2021, the Agriculture Department said Wednesday. “We believe that despite the Taal Volcano eruption, COVID-19 pandemic, continued incidence of the African swine fever and a series of strong typhoons, the country’s agriculture and fishery sector has remained pliant and resilient, facing head-on and surmounting the huge challenges last year,” Agriculture Secretary William Dar said in a statement. Fourth-quarter agriculture and fisheries production fell 3.8 percent from a year ago, pulled down by lower harvests of rice and corn. Meanwhile, the Philippine Statistics Authority reported the slight revision of the third-quarter gross domestic product contraction to a lesser 11.4 percent from 11.5-percent decline previously. The PSA said major contributors to the revision were real estate and ownership of dwellings, from -22.5 percent to -19.4 percent; education, from -21.4 percent to -17.8 percent; and other services, from -53.4 percent to -49.9 percent. The net primary income from the rest of the world recorded downward revision from -28.2 percent to -29.0 percent while the gross national income maintained its growth rate of -13.0 percent for the third quarter.

New train arrives for LRT Cavite line LIGHT Rail Manila Corp. said Wednesday it received the first generation-4 train sets that would be deployed once the LRT-1 Cavite Extension Project starts partial operation by end of 2021. “The trains are starting to come and every quarter they will come. And by May of 2022, we would have met the delivery of 30 train sets,” Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade said. Spanish railway vehicle company Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles started the production of 30 train sets in Spain and Mexico in 2019 through a tender spearheaded by DOTr. The state-of-the-art passenger train sets measure 106 meters in length and 2.59 meters in width, with maximum design speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour. Each train set consists of four light rail vehicles and can accommodate over 1,300 passengers per trip. Darwin G. Amojelar

Exports down 10.1% to $63.77b last year EXPORTS and imports registered doubledigit declines in 2020, amid the slowdown in domestic economy and fragile global recovery from the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, data from the Philippine Statistics Authority show. The PSA said exports contracted by 10.1 percent last year to $63.77 billion from $70.926 billion in 2019. It said exports dropped slightly by 0.2 percent in December to $5.737 billion from $5.75 billion a year ago. Imports posted a deeper decline of 23.28 percent in 2020 to $85.606 billion from $111.593 billion in 2019. Inbound shipments went down by 9.11 percent in December to $7.918 billion from $8.712 billion a year earlier. These latest numbers resulted in a trade deficit of $21.839 billion in 2020, or 46.29 percent lower than the $40.666-billion shortfall in 2019. Julito G. Rada

Young shines as Hawks halt LA Clippers’ win streak LOS ANGELES—The short-handed Los Angeles Clippers couldn’t overcome the loss of stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on Tuesday as they were beaten by Atlanta, snapping their seven-game NBA win streak. Atlanta all-star Trae Young scored 38 points in his return as the Hawks rallied from a first half deficit to defeat the Clippers 108-99 at the State Farm Arena. Hawk leading scorer Young, who sat out one game with a back problem, shot 12-of-23 from the field and scored 26 points of his 38 in the first half. He finished a perfect 11 of 11 from the freethrow line. George and Leonard were ruled out of the contest but the club did not release any details other than to say they were sidelined due to COVID-19 “health and safety protocols”. The club is leaving open the prospect that they could join their teammates later on in their six-game road trip which will also take them to Miami, Orlando, New York and Cleveland. Despite the ongoing global pandemic that has killed 425,000 Americans— including over 13,000 in Georgia—organizers for the first time allowed 1,180 spectators into the State Farm facility to watch the game live. The Clippers, who entered Monday tied with the reigning league champion Los Angeles Lakers for top spot in the Western Conference, were also missing guard Patrick Beverley with a right knee injury. Also returning for Atlanta was Clint Capela, who missed the last game with right hand soreness. Capela had 13 points and 19 rebounds, his third consecutive game with at least 19 rebounds for the Hawks, who have won four of their last five. Atlanta also got 22 points from De’Andre Hunter, 13 points from Kevin Huerter, while John Collins delivered 11 points and 11 rebounds. The Clippers were led by Reggie Jackson with 20 points, seven rebounds and eight assists and Serge Ibaka scored 15 points. Ivica Zubac and Luke Kennard both scored 13. The Clippers led 48-43 at the half thanks to an Ibaka hook shot late in the third quarter. But the Hawks roared back in the second half as Hunter scored off a Solomon Hill steal with just under eight minutes to go to make it 86-79 for Los Angeles and they held on from there. AFP

IOC’s Bach: Vaccination not obligatory for athletes By Peter Atencio

ILIPINO athletes preparing for international meets need not be a priority for COVID-19 vaccinations by the government.

Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino said this after reading a message of International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach to members of the POC General Assembly yesterday. Bach relayed his message to member countries after he held consultation calls with the National Olympic Committees last Friday. This is in line with the final stretch of the preparations for the postponed Olympic and Paralympic

Games Tokyo 2020, and the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. “He (Bach) insists that vaccination is not obligatory for athletes. But if different NOCs appeal to their national governments, athletes can be in the second line. Mr. Bach said we should not insist to have athletes in the first line, it should be the high risk and, the medical frontline people,” said Tolentino. The POC discussed Bach’s message during a meeting held at the

Grand Hyatt Hotel inside the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, and simultaneously relayed on Zoom. Tolentino however said if Filipino athletes will be given a chance, the POC will appreciate such an effort. The POC chief’s announcement comes a day after Deputy House Speaker Mikee Romero filed a resolution that will allow Filipino athletes, who are set to participate in the Tokyo Olympics and the 2021 Southeast Asian Games, to be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination. Should such a resolution be adopted, the House can urge the Interagency Task Force for the Management of Infectious Diseases to classify the national athletes as frontliners. The first batch of vaccines are set to reach Philippine shores in March

Malonzo potential top overall pick in PBA draft By Rey Joble FOR former PBA coach and current UP Fighting Maroons mentor Bo Perasol, Jamie Malonzo, a standout from La Salle, and Fil-American Joshua Munzon may stand out to be the projected top overall picks in the coming PBA Rookie Draft. Malonzo and Munzon are high on the list of Perasol, but is choosing the former for obvious reasons—size and athleticism. “Both are excellent talents who will make an immediate impact to whichever team picks them up,” wrote Perasol in a text message to Manila Standard. “Malonzo, though, will have a great advantage playing as a wing man in the

Jamie Malonzo: Size and athleticism

THE BOTTOM LINE LITO CINCO THE truth is, I already dwelled on this subject matter in an early episode of The SWAB (Sports World And Beyond) on YouTube with University of the East women’s basketball head coach Ai Lebornio. Was it being prophetic, or was it just a matter of time that the situation I was referring to would emerge again? I guess the latter, since the news of the sad plight of former PBA player Terry Saldana came out. He is suffering badly from diabetes, among others, with his photo online showing both of his legs swollen and with open wounds, eliciting a lot of sympathy from the public. He is a familiar name for old school basketball fans, particularly Toyota, where he made his debut in the early 1980s, before becoming a journeyman

PBA rather than a big.” Standing 6’6”, but possesses an athleticism similar to that of 6’9” Ginebra center/forward Japeth Aguilar and a young Arwind Santos, Malonzo is expected to be right up there in Terrafirma Dyip’s list. Terrafirma Dyip will be picking first in the draft followed by NorthPort and then NLEX, which will have No. 3 and No. 4 selections. Picking fifth is Rain or Shine and will be followed by Magnolia at No. 6. Rounding out the first round will be Alaska (No. 7), San Miguel (No. 8), Meralco (No.9), Phoenix (No.10), NorthPort (No. 11) and newly-crowned Bubble champion Barangay Ginebra (No. 12). On Wednesday, the PBA closed the deadline for the sub-

Aside from Malonzo, other projected early picks in the draft include Munzon, Alvin Pasaol, Fil-Australian Troy Rike and Santi Santillan, all members of the Philippine 3 x 3 squad, Gilas Pilipinas standout Calvin Oftana, who is expected to join the regular draft and not the special draft for Gilas, and Taylor Statham, a veteran campaigner of the FIBA 3 x 3.

Postcareer pitfalls of athletes in a 17-year career as a professional. Terry is presently confined at the J.P. Rizal Hospital in Calamba, where he is undergoing treatment, with doctors hoping there would be no need for amputation. A lot of former PBA players, fans and the PBA itself have been extending help to Terry, who has been living in poverty for the past years. The truth is, it is not just Terry who has fallen on hard times. There are a lot more and not just from the PBA. The local boxing world definitely has a lot of similar sad stories about ex-boxers suffering the same plight. The NBA, too, has had its share with former Mavericks player Delonte West being one of the latest. He was found homeless on a street curb, and Dallas owner Mark Cuban gave him another chance in life, paying for his rehab. The list is endless and when we did that sports vlog, Ai and I, together with co-host Vivid Gueco, pinpointed the possible causes of such situations that

I guarantee will continue to see, unless athletes start planning better for their post-playing years. Players who suddenly strike it big, mentally and emotionally unprepared for such a drastic change in life, start living big, and are focused only on the now and not for what happens when the big bucks stop coming. This is particularly true for PBA players in the early years, because this has changed somewhat in the present, with more players investing in their future, with the help of financial advisers. Players then were buying expensive cars and watches, big houses, and other things of luxury, only to end up selling them in their old age. One problem, too, is a player’s pride that makes him continue pretending he is still making the same amount of money in his heydays, thereby living beyond his means. Some make bad investments, falling victim to scams, or going into something they know nothing about and ending up with a failed business.

A lot of young players, enticed by the opportunity to make money, fail to finish their education, and have no fallback positions after their playing years. But for me, the biggest factor remains to be vices, whether it is drugs, booze, women, gambling, or what have you. The result is the same, it drains the player financially, mentally, and emotionally. How many big names in the PBA have we seen, heard of, and read about, who fell victims to vices? I will not name names, but I am sure any basketball fan would know of one or two. Now, if these are the causes, then the solutions can also be found in them, planning for the future with good investments and professional advisers, finishing one’s education, living within one’s means, and most of all avoiding vices. The problem, though, is it’s easier said than done, but hopefully, with the recent case of Terry still fresh, the current crop of players and athletes take notice of this. And that is the bottom line.

Meanwhile, the General Assembly confirmed its recognition of leaders elected to posts in cycling, skating, skating, tennis, obstacle sports, rugby and canoe/kayak. Questions were raised on the elect ions held by the newly-for med Philippi ne Nat ional Volleyball Federation, and its new head, Ramon “Tats” Suzara. But POC officials said any questions on the leadership of the PNVF will be forwarded to the newly formed membership and accreditation committee of Atty. Billy Sumagui.

Juico lauds Knott’s 60-m record feats FIL-AMERICAN Kristina Knott is in great shape after she broke the national record twice in the women’s 60-meter event of the KMS Invitational Tournament in Alabama, United States last Monday. Officials of the Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association took note of her fitness after she eclipsed the Philippine marks that were established by the retired sprint queen Lydia de Vega back in 1988. “Looks like she is in very very good shape. Imagine breaking the 23-yearold national record twice in several hours,” said PATAFA chief Philip Ella Juico. De Vega held the national indoor record when she clocked 7.37 seconds in Japan 23 years ago. This record fell twice when Knott competed at the Metrocross Plex tracks in Birmingham. It first went down when Knott topped the first heat in 7.33 seconds, beating Ashanti Tigner’s 7.76, and Amanda Lowe (7.81). In the finals, Knott took the gold with a lower time of 7.32 seconds, with Ashley Kelly taking the silver in 7.62 seconds, and Jasmine Riley settling for the bronze in 7.67 seconds. This kept Knott on course in her bid to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics in both the 100-meter and 200-meter sprints. She is set to keep up training by joining the Scarlet and Grey meet on Jan. 31, Sunday. Meanwhile, another Tokyo Olympic aspirant, Eric Cray settled for the silver medals in the men’s 200-meter and 400-meter events. Cray, who saw action in the 2016 Rio Games Olympian, reached the finish line 21.67 seconds in the 200-meter dash, while registering 48.13 seconds in the 400-meter event. Devonte Fletcher ruled the 200-meter event in 21.45 seconds, while Ezekiel Suarez topped the 400-meters in 47.79 seconds. Peter Atencio

PROJECT FINANCING & INDICATIVE RATE IMPACT 8. FINANCING PLAN The financing of the multiyear CAPEX plan will be sourced through the Reinvestment Fund for Sustainable CAPEX (RFSC) of the cooperative and availment of loan from NEA at 8% interest rate per annum for a period of fifteen (15) years. In view of this plan of the cooperative to avail loan for the financing of the proposed project, it is likewise prayed that the ERC will grant the cooperative the Authority to Secure Loan to minimize the possible effect on the existing RFSC rate upon project implementation and to give the cooperative flexibility in managing its finances. Nevertheless, ISELCO II will still thrive to look for financial institution that can provide the least financing plan for the benefit of the consumers.

JASMINE and GLAIZA in mind-bending horror movie

IGITAL platform Upstream is streaming Midnight In a Perfect World, a horror movie starring Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Glaiza de Castro. The film is produced by Globe Studios and Epicmedia Productions—the same team that made the box-office hit Fan Girl, which won eight major awards at the 2020 MMFF. Jasmine and Glaiza, with Anthony Falcon and Dino Pastrano, play a group of friends who are skeptical about the goings-on, but suddenly get caught in a blackout and must now find a safe house to survive. The talented cast also includes Bing Pimentel, Soliman Cruz, Dolly de Leon, Charles Aaron Salazar and Brian Sy. The film is written and directed by Dodo Dayao, the filmmaker behind the Cinema One Original Violator, internationally acclaimed by

True to its vision of being the home of films that “come from authentic voices and are crafted by true creators,” Midnight In A Perfect World features a strong cast, a mind-bending story, and visceral visuals. The horror film was included in multiple “top 2020 films” lists, including CNN Philippines, Rappler, and cinemaescapist.com. Set in a dystopian future Metro Manila, the story delves into the mysterious disappearances that occur during nightly blackouts. LAST week I jotted down a list of good-recall duet songs, all released during the ‘80s when ballads were created through the warmth of sophisticated-for-its-time analogue recording and formulaic, yet hookladen pop songwriting. While it may have been enough tackling 10 of them to prove that the era was exceptionally strong for duet recordings, there were certain songs that I and Kaye (my wife/duet singing partner at home) thought should have been on the list for the sake of emphasis. While basically a random listing because ranking them is too tall, and debatable, an order, one may notice that this second batch is as strong as the first one, reflective in a way of just how those ‘80s love songs, the upbeat danceables not even included, were a class of their own. Hearts Never Lie (Tiffany and Chris Farren, 1988): This song came

publications Twitch and Variety. “When it was presented to us, it was pitched as an allegory of martial law. Little did we know that by the time it was released, it would also serve as a reflection of these dark times," says Globe Studios’ head Quark Henares on why the production company was drawn to do the horror flick. Dodo got the idea for Midnight In A Perfect World from an actual dream he had that he combined with personal memories of growing up during the last years of martial law. “It may be a martial allegory but it is also a haunted house story,” declares the writer/director. “The house, our house is still haunted. The ghosts are all very much here,” he adds. Midnight In a Perfect World, which is available on Upstream.ph from Jan. 29 to Feb. 29 (and is now available for advance booking at bit.ly/midnightinaperfectworld), had its world premiere at the QCinema International Film Festival, where it was the festival’s highest-grossing film.

However, the Commission received today an Urgent Motion to Reset Notice of Virtual Hearing dated 05 January 2021. In the said Motion, Applicant alleged that it was not able to comply with the directives in the aforementioned Order due to the following: series of lockdowns that the Isabela Province has gone through in December 2020 which included the areas where the headquarters and office of Applicant are situated due to the number of employees who tested positive of COVID-19; and enormous floods caused by typhoons Roily and Ulysses. Thus, Applicant prayed for the cancellation of the scheduled hearings on 08 and 15 January 2021 and to reset the same to another date so as to give Applicant ample time to comply with the required posting and publication under Rule 6 of the RPP.

and Michael McDonald, 1986): A number recorded by its singers separately became the biggest hit single for both of them. Next Time I Fall (Peter Cetera and Amy Grant, 1986): Cetera going solo resulted in two classic duet songs. This recording made it in the Top 25 Love Song Duets listed by Billboard in February 2020. Separate Lives (Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin, 1985): A Stephen Bishop composition used in a forgotten movie received an Oscar nomination. Collins played drums on the track. Never Gonna Let You Go (Joe Pizzulo and Leeza Miller, 1983): Brazilian legend Sergio Mendes was credited for a hit he didn’t actually sing. He didn’t even write it. Lyricist Cynthia Weil and melodist Barry Mann did. Pizzulo, also the male voice behind the other Mendes-credited ‘80s hit, certainly deserved more mention.

Up Where We Belong (Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes, 1982): It’s a theme song that reached the top of US Billboard Hot 100, while the duo’s performance won a Grammy. It is heard in the closing credits of the Richard Gere film An Officer and A Gentleman. How Do You Keep The Music Playing? (James Ingram and Patti Austin, 1982): Some songs outlived movies they were used in, like this tune that became a popular standard. The fairly fine film Best Friends starred Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn. Endless Love (Diana Ross and Lionel Richie, 1981): Penned by Richie and inserted as theme for the movie adaptation of Scott Spencer’s novel of the same name, this gem became the most successful duet in the rock era and the second biggest-selling single of that year.

TWO FOR ONE. Bed frames with built-in drawers or shelves add more storage (left), while a table may function as a work and dining area—both ideal in maximizing a limited living space.

Living large in a small space Experts say it’s all about finding the purpose

Architect Harvey Vasquez

Cool colors and white walls create an illusion of a bigger space. By Steph Llarena

HE average size of developable residential areas in Metro Manila has been dwindling since the past couple of years. More residents settling in the region results in shrinking living spaces. A 2015 analysis by Lamudi revealed 42 percent of “for sale” condominiums have floor spaces of less than 50 square meters, “for rent” condos were not trailing far at 41 percent. Fifty square meters, a property developer says, is the average size of condo units here in the Philippines. But this can go way smaller, as our building code allows a

minimum of 18 square meters for a single occupancy condo, or 12 square meters if it is in highly urbanized areas. There are several ways to maximize a limited living space, from creating an illusion of a bigger room (let natural light in) to incorporating built-in furniture pieces. But before you go into a studio-unitfriendly-furniture shopping frenzy, inte-

rior designer Katherine Anne Correa and architect Harvey Vasquez recommend “identifying the purpose of the space.” “Ask yourself: What do you intend to do in that small space during daytime and nighttime? Can we compartmentalize those specific functions within the available space or make it flexible that we can convert anytime?” shares Correa, who’s also the chairperson of the Interior Design Program of the School of the Design Arts at De La SalleCollege of Saint Benilde. Once the intention has been set, Correa suggests choosing furniture pieces that are useful for day and night. While it could be difficult—if possible—to have a living space, a dining area, and a bedroom in a studio type, multipurpose furniture can somehow make it possible. “Murphy beds can be tucked in or folded and be converted into a dining table, work table, or sofa during day time,” says Correa. “Another option is to design a bunk bed which you can use the bottom part as a work space or a living area.” Building on the concept of functional spaces, Vasquez says the concept of open spaces, now deemed a trend, is the main design feature of a bahay kubo. “It was ahead of its time. In the morning, it served as the working area for the housewife, play area for the kids, dining area during family meals. At night, it became the sleeping area. With minimal fixed furniture and just one cabinet, it successfully hosted the basic role of a house.” Vasquez, the chairperson of the Architecture Program of Benilde, stresses, “Flexibility of being able to adapt different scales of activities is a welcome feature in an efficient house.” To provide privacy in open spaces, the architect proposes portable partitions. He added that full-height cabinets are a great way to organize the limited space (or to serve as partition, too). “It can also be a room in itself; a full kitchen can be inside a cabinet if designed right,” he shares.

PureGold launches same-day grocery delivery service SUPERMARKET chain PureGold has partnered with Globe’s corporate incubator 917Ventures to launch a same-day delivery service. PureGo features thousands of products including fresh meats and vegetables, kitchen essentials, pantry favorites, cooking ingredients, personal care items, cleaning supplies, and pet food from trusted brands. Since all items on the platform are sourced directly from PureGold, prices are the same as those in the brick-and-mortar outlets. PureGo offers customers same-day grocery delivery, multiple payment options, hassle-free order tracking, wishlist for next grocery order, and discounts and promos during seasonal sales. “As a commitment in serving our customers, we continue to elevate the grocery experience by going digital. With PureGo,

“Flexibility has always been related to mobility as it gives us the potential to transform spaces simply by moving the furniture around,” explains Vasquez. “Different configurations of spaces can be achieved by reconfiguring chairs, cabinets, and tables.” To create an illusion of a more spacious room, Correa recommends using cool colors. “Receding colors are those that are high in value, lower in saturation,

and cooler in hue,” she expounds. “They are perceived to raise the ceiling height.” She also suggests white-painted ceilings and walls, matched with bright lights to make a space look bigger than it is. For those who do not want to go all-white, however, can opt for cream or pastel colors. To complement the soft backdrop, she recommends home décor such as pillows, artworks, or indoor plants for pops of color.

PARENTING

Guiding Gen Z in their future IN A recently concluded webinar hosted by Enderun Colleges, top business and inspirational speaker Francis Kong shared his knowledge and expertise on how parents can have a better understanding of the generation their children belong to, as well as the effective ways of guiding them in their future. “I don’t know if you agree with me but running a business is easy, managing a career profession is peanuts, as compared to raising a teenager,” he shared during the online talk entitled “For Parents: Guiding Gen Z in their Future Careers.” Pandemic parenting Prior COVID-19, Gen Zs (those born between 1997 and 2010) are known to be a “Google reflex generation.” They are highly inquisitive and highly philosophical. They even tend to look down on their predecessors— the millennial generation. At present, Gen Z kids feel delayed due to the pandemic which contributes to their level of anxiety. They tend to feel postponed, pushed aside, penalized, and panicked. Therefore, they need to do quick adjustments. Kong said that their current behavior could manifest two potential positive effects. First, they are more likely to expand their resourcefulness and innovation. The second one is that Gen Z understands the importance of social good. Hence, they are more likely to be involved in service and community. Preparing them for the next stage Microsoft research reveals that a third of Gen Z students are uncertain about the types of career they want to pursue, while around half of them expect to do a job that doesn’t even exist yet—considering the role technology plays across all industries today.

In a study by Linkedin, the top five technical skills valued reflect the need for digital skills—things connected to cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and improving digital experience. The top five skills newly graduates are learning are data visualization, data modelling, python, web analytics, and database management. But more than these, soft skills also prove invaluable contributions. “The skill sets required from them for the future will be different from the skill sets required in the past,” said Kong. He further identified the leadership characteristics Gen Z must have: problem solving, critical thinking process, emotional intelligence, values and ethics, leadership perspective, creative processing, resourcefulness and resilience, managing ambiguity, collaborative skills, and effective communication. “Parenting is a privilege not a birthright,” emphasized Kong. According to him, parents have to acquire and update their parenting skills because the skills they have before might no longer be effective at present. He continued, “Cultivate the right worldview. All of those things needed for [your children] to succeed in life depends on your world. Your worldview forms your belief system. Your belief system shapes your perspective. Your perspective determines your behavior. And your behavior leads to your outcome.” As today’s younger generation tends to be very vulnerable, Kong said parents must be sensitive to the feelings of their children. “This pandemic is history in the making. But the narrative that we are building will form the legacy that we’re gonna leave our children.”

All items on the platform are sourced directly from the supermarket chain’s branches.

PureGold and 917 Ventures’ e-commerce platform PureGo offers same-day grocery delivery service.

grocery shopping is just a click away,” said PureGold president Ferdinand Vincent Co. PureGo currently delivers in Quezon City, Caloocan, Marikina, Manila, Pasig, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Taguig, Makati, and Bonifacio Global City, but plans are underway to add more areas. To use PureGo, go to purego.ph, input the delivery address, choose the desired items, checkout, and choose the preferred payment method (debit/credit card or GCash). The platform is integrated with GCash via its mini-app program, allowing users to shop from the GCash mobile app. In the future, PureGo will also have its own mobile app and loyalty program, and include items from S&R.

An inspirational speaker advises moms and dads of Gen Z children to update their parenting skills to be effective and relevant in the present day.
