Omicron stalls Alert Level 1

DOH admits no ‘foreseeable’ shift yet despite PH at minimum risk By Willie Casas

HE Department of Health (DOH) on Monday said the country’s quarantine status will not go down to Alert Level 1 anytime soon due to threat of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, despite its being classified as “minimal risk.”

THE Bureau of Immigration will reopen e-gates in all international airports in the country in time for the Christmas holiday break, when an influx of international travelers is anticipated. BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said he wanted the electronic gates revived to assure returning Filipinos of faster immigration processing, saying the e-gates cut the processing time for passengers “from the present 45 seconds to just eight seconds.” Launched in August 2018, the BI’s e-gates were in operation until March last year when the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the bureau to suspend the scheme.

Suu Kyi, ally meted 4 years in jail Basilan mayors for breaking military, health rules ambushed; one died, other hurt

YANGON—Myanmar’s junta jailed ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday for four years for incitement against the military and breaching Covid rules, the first of a series of possible sentences that could see the Nobel laureate imprisoned for decades. Suu Kyi, 76, has been detained since the generals staged a coup and ousted her government on February 1, ending the Southeast Asian country’s brief period of democracy. She has since been hit with a series of charges, including violating the official secrets act, illegally importing walkie talkies and electoral fraud.

Isko to adopt Rody as 4th Senate bet By Rey E. Requejo

RESIDENTIAL candidate and Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso on Monday said he will vote for President Rodrigo Duterte for senator, and he is even willing to adopt the outgoing Chief Executive as the 4th senatorial candidate of his political party Aksyon Demokratiko.

tors so you only have nine problems, now I will say, you only have eight to think about because I have a fourth candidate, President Duterte,” Moreno said. When asked by the media why he would want Duterte in his senatorial slate, Moreno explained that as president, Duterte had many accomplishments, foremost of which is the “Build, Build, Build” that saw not only many bridges and skyways built but most importantly, it generated thousands of jobs even during the pandemic. Aksyon Demokratiko, headed by Moreno as party president, is the first political party to formally ask President Duterte to be an adopted senatorial candidate. “I don’t want to lead the President. He is free to choose where he wants to

go. But it is definitely an honor for me if the President will accept my invitation for him to be an adopted senatorial candidate of Aksyon Demokratiko,” Moreno explained. Moreno noted that with the new Clark airport, the people of Manila will also benefit because they also built the Malolos-Tutuban train. “And Southerners can reach Clark Airport because of the built skyways. The president has really done a lot,” the Manila City chief executive observed. Moreno also praised President Duterte for initiating the three-day National Vaccination Drive which enlisted the services of vaccinators from cities like Manila that have already exceeded the target of 70 percent of its population.

“I will personally vote for President Duterte for senator. And I will be grateful, honored, and humbled to have somebody like the President in our slate as an additional candidate for senator. And I think he is very much capable of doing the job as a legislator,” Moreno said during an ambush interview in Lapu-Lapu City. Moreno stressed that Duterte is now considered an “orphan” since the ad-

ministration’s presidential candidate, Senator Christopher “Bong” Go, has already announced his intention to withdraw from the 2022 race. However, Go has yet to formally submit his withdrawal as presidential candidate of Pederalismo ng Dakilang Dakilang Samahan (PDDS) to the Commission on Elections national office in Intramuros, Manila. “If before, I said I only had three sena-

be worse. It could be more contagious, or more lethal, or both,” Gilbert said in her draft Richard Dimbleby Lecture, to be broadcast Monday evening (Tuesday in Manila). “We cannot allow a situation where we have gone through all we have gone through, and then find that the enormous economic losses we have sustained mean that there is still no funding for pandemic preparedness. “The advances we have made, and the knowledge we have gained, must not be lost,” Gilbert will say. The Oxford/AstraZeneca jab, which was the first coronavirus vaccine to be approved for use in the UK, is used in more than 170 countries globally. It is significantly cheaper and easier to deliver than others and is credited with increasing vaccine access in poorer countries. Gilbert was made a dame by Queen Elizabeth II earlier this year for services to science and public health for her role in its development. She has been making and testing vaccines for more than a decade, primarily using antigens from malaria and influenza, and initiated the COVID-19 vaccine project in early 2020 after the virus first emerged in China. As the world now confronts the Omicron variant, with nearly 250 cases now identified in Britain alone, she urged continued caution. “Until we know more, we should be cautious, and take steps to slow down the spread of this new variant,” Gilbert said. “But as we have seen before, reduced protection against infection and mild disease does not necessarily mean reduced protection against severe disease and death.” In the Philippines, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reviewing the documents for the emergency use authorization (EUA) of experimental antiviral pill molnupiravir, the Department of Health (DOH) said on Monday. Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said 89 hospitals in the country are using molnupiravir through a compassionate use special permit. A clinical investigator from the Quirino Memorial Medical Center in Quezon City has said that molnupiravir is likely to be active against the Omicron variant, a new variant of concern.

PH jumps to 57th in mag’s COVID recovery ranking THE Philippines jumped 46 places to 57th place in the latest COVID-19 recovery ranking by Tokyo-based news magazine Nikkei Asia. In its November 30 report released on Monday, the Philippines climbed from 103rd among 120 regions in October to now share 57th with Tajikistan, Norway, and Malaysia. The Philippines’ previous rankings were 121st in September, 106th in August, and 108th in July. The Philippines’ ranking improvement was mainly due to a “significant increase in its infection management scores” according to Nikkei. However, the magazine said although the country’s infection numbers have dropped from the September peak, its short-term case fatality rate stands at over 9% -- the second highest in the world, according to Our World in Data. Bahrain topped the November edition with a score of 73, followed by Kuwait with 72, the United Arab Emirates with 70.5, Malta and Taiwan with 69, China with 68.5, Chile, Japan, and Saudi Arabia with 68, and Uruguay with 66. Laos was at the rear with 22.5 points. Nikkei Asia sourced its figures from Our World in Data; Google COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports; Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker, Cirium, and Nikkei Asia Research.

variant that could affect global demand. “Petron will implement the following price rollbacks effective 6 a.m. on Dec 7: P2.40/li for gasoline; P2.65/li for diesel and P2.70/li for kerosene. These reflect movements in the international oil market,” the company said in its advisory. Phoenix Petroleum Philippines, Seaoil Philippines, PTT Philippines, Flying V and Cleanfuel also cut pump prices, while

others are expected to follow. On November 30, the oil companies also rolled back prices by P1.10 to P1.20 per liter for gasoline, P0.60 to P0.70 per liter for diesel, and P0.50 per liter for kerosene. These resulted in year-to-date adjustments at a total net increase of P18.10/ liter for gasoline, P15.70/liter for diesel and P13.19/liter for kerosene.

The WHO has classified Omicron as a variant of concern, adding it is not yet clear if the variant is more transmissible compared to other variants or if it causes a more severe disease. The University of the Philippines COVID-19 Pandemic Response Team said on Sunday that getting the primary doses of vaccines and booster shots thereafter could still help fight the Omicron variant should it enter the country. Duque said that no Omicron variant has been detected yet from the latest genome sequencing on the samples taken from three travelers who came from Omicron-affected countries. The DOH reported on Friday that there were 253 travelers from South Africa, three from Burkina Faso, and 541 from Egypt who arrived in the country from Nov. 15 to Nov. 29. Three of them tested positive for COVID-19. “So far, there are 81 samples tested from those who underwent the RT-PCR testing. If they test positive, they will immediately be brought to the Philippine Genome Center for sequencing to know if the Omicron variant has already entered the country,” Duque said. The Bureau of Quarantine also said on Sunday that most travelers from these Omicron-affected countries are still under quarantine and have not shown COVID-19 symptoms, so far. BOQ Deputy Director Roberto Salvador Jr. noted the public has nothing to worry about as these travelers need to

undergo a 14-day mandatory quarantine as mandated by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF). Meanwhile, the DOH said it is trying to locate eight more travelers from South Africa who arrived between Nov. 15 and 29, as efforts for contact tracing continue. Results of the genome sequencing for the traveler from South Africa and 11 others who tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving in the Philippines may be released Tuesday, the DOH said. The DOH said the Philippines and most of the regions are now classified at minimal risk for COVID-19. Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said during a media briefing that the Philippines recorded a negative two-week growth rate of -57 percent and had a low-risk average daily attack rate of .67 per 100,000 individuals. “Nationally, we remain at minimal risk case classification,” Vergeire said. Vergeire said the average daily cases in the country decreased by 397 cases or 42 percent this week to an average of 544 cases per day. “These average cases per day are already nine times lower than those reported in July of 2021 at 4,982 and also lower than 1,130 cases per day observed from Dec. 27, 2020, from Jan. 2 of 2021,” Vergeire said. “Looking at the epidemic curve of our major island groups and the NCR

of Dec 6, 6:00),” according to the statement attributed to Javier. Last week, the country’s largest COVID referral center, the Philippine General Hospital, reported zero new COVID admissions, and recorded its lowest number of virus patients in more than a year. Makati Medical is in the financial district of Metro Manila, the epicenter of COVID infections during the past months.

Javier said he was hoping the recent development would inspire patients, especially those whose illnesses are not related to COVID-19, to seek medical attention. “This is to further inspire confidence among patients, especially the nonCOVID ones, who have been sidelined for a long time already, to get connected once again with their doctors in MMC,” he said.

attended physically, said senators and members of the House of Representatives agreed to immediately ratify the GAB next week. “Leaders of the House of Representatives today reiterated our commitment to ratify before the year end the 2022 GAB in today’s meeting with our Senate counterparts at the bicameral conference,” he said. “We join our good senators in wishing that disagreeing provisions of the

Senate and House versions of the 2022 GAB be threshed out in a week’s time. We expect plenary discussion on the bicam-approved version next week, and that the final version be ratified by the Senate and the House before our Christmas break,” he added. During the meeting, the bicam panel adopted the motion of Romualdez to authorize House committee on appropriations and ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Eric Yap to work with

Senate finance committee chairman Senator Sonny Angara to harmonize the disagreeing provisions of the national budget. Romualdez, Angara, Yap, House Minority Leader Joseph Stephen Paduano, Pacman party-list Rep. Mikee Romero, and Reps. Joseph Bernos of Abra and Edcel Lagman of Albay, with Senators Joel Villanueva, Imee Marcos, Cynthia Villar, and Ronald dela Rosa, attended the face-to-face meeting.

also killed in the shooting perpetrated by four suspects. “The two mayors are in the hospital now. But one of them, Mayor Darus, has already died. He and Mayor Sali’s driver were declared dead on arrival,” Miro said. In a statement, the Philippine National Police (PNP) identified Sali’s driver as Barad Nuruddin. Miro said at around 8 a.m., the mayors were shot after arriving at the Baliwasan Seaside in Zamboanga City on a motorized boat. The PNP said the suspects fled on board a motorized boat and a white car. Deputy Speaker and Mujiv Hataman strongly condemned the killing of Albarka Mayor Lajid and the wounding of Akbar Mayor Alih Salih and their two security escorts.

creased arrivals for the holiday season despite the travel restrictions implemented due to the Omicron variant of COVID-19. “We see that domestic travel is, little by little, bouncing back, and we see the same coming soon for the international travel sector,” Morente said. During the first day of the month, 85 percent of arrivals were Filipinos returning for the holidays. “Of the more than 6,000 arrivals during the first day of December, the majority are Filipinos. While the numbers remain relatively low, we expect it to slowly rise as we near Christmas and New Year,” he added. In December last year, only around 152,000 passengers entered the country.

Meanwhile, the presidential adviser for entrepreneurship, Joey Concepcion, appealed to the government to revert the mandatory quarantine in accredited facilities or hotels to three days as many overseas Filipinos plan to spend their Christmas back home. Amid the threat of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, the government extended the mandatory quarantine in accredited facilities or hotels for inbound travelers to five days for vaccinated ones, and seven days for unvaccinated visitors. “Our kababayans should spend Christmas at home, not in a foreign land and definitely not at a quarantine facility,” Concepcion said in a statement Monday.

The whole country is currently under Alert Level 2 until Dec. 15 after the province of Apayao was classified under Alert Level 2 starting Dec. 3, along with other regions including Metro Manila. Duque cited reports from several European countries where COVID-19 cases were increasing again. Duque said this was due to people not following minimum public health standards. He said the Philippines was able to fight off COVID-19 surges before vaccine supplies became abundant by observing these health standards, such as the wearing of face masks and maintaining physical distance. “I hope that the Omicron is not worse or more dangerous than the Delta variant, which we have somehow overcome based on the number of cases we have seen and reported to the public,” he said. Duque said the government’s preparations for the Omicron variant was the same as its preparations for the Delta variant, including tight border controls.

classes in November. Only those in kindergarten to Grade 3, as well as senior high school students, are included in the pilot run so far. Most public school classrooms are built to accommodate a maximum of 65 students without social distancing. DepEd did not have ready figures on the number of classrooms it expected to use for the pilot testing. But Malaluan said there is sufficient space so far to accommodate the initial number of students returning, as there are classrooms that are not being used by higher levels. Several schools may also conduct shifts—each in morning and afternoon—to accommodate all learners.

The incitement conviction related to statements Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy party published shortly after the coup condemning the generals’ takeover. The Covid charge is linked to last year’s election, which the NLD won in a landslide, but the details are not clear with the government imposing a gag order on the court proceedings. Journalists have been barred from attending the special court hearings in Naypyidaw and Suu Kyi’s lawyers were recently banned from speaking to the media.

Reversal of Sulpicio case sought T By Rey E. Requejo

he Department of Justice (DOJ) has asked the Manila City Regional Trial Court to reverse its recent decision dismissing the criminal charges ﬁled against an executive of M/V Princess of the Stars which sank off Sibuyan Island, Romblon in 2008 resulting in the death of more than 200 passengers.

In a 17-page motion for reconsideration filed by a prosecution panel led by Senior Assistant State Prosecutor Hazel Decena-Valdez, the DOJ sought the reinstatement of the reckless imprudence resulting in multiple homicides, physical injuries, and damage to property filed against accused Edgar S. Go, former Sulpicio Lines Inc. first vice president for administration and team leader of the company’s crisis management committee.

At least 11 private complainants through the Public Attorney’s Ofﬁce on Monday also ﬁled a formal motion to assail the acquittal of Go. Assistant State Prosecutor Jovyanne M. Escano-Santamaria, and Deputy State Prosecutor Alexander Q. Suarez signed the motion as members of the panel. Manila City RTC Branch 54 Presiding Judge Maria Paz Reyes-Yson issued on Nov. 18, 2021 a decision which granted

Go’s demurrer to evidence which sought the dismissal of the case on the ground of insufﬁciency of evidence. The DOJ stressed that it has sufﬁciently established the identity and culpability of Go considering that Go has control over the operations of the vessels of SLI. The families of the victims of the tragedy claimed that Go’s failure to order the master of the M/V Princess of the Stars to stop sailing and take shelter during the storm would fall under Article 365 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC) which punishes any person for reckless imprudence and negligence. They asserted that that Go had active control and supervision in the operations of SLI vessels. The panel noted that Go’s indictment was upheld by the Supreme Court in a decision issued in 2018 which ordered the Manila RTC to reinstate the

criminal case for reckless imprudence against Go after it ruled that the Court of Appeals erred in coming up with a resolution in Jan. 8, 2014 which granted Go’s petition to nullify his indictment by the DOJ. The DOJ panel found that Go was involved in making decisions on whether a vessel should be allowed to sail such that he should have cancelled or discouraged the voyage considering the severe weather at that time. The criminal charges stated that Go, as a responsible officer of SLI, failed to give instructions to Capt. Amado V. Ramillo “to take shelter and drop anchor or return to the port of Manila.” The DOJ prosecutors also lamented the failure of the Manila RTC to afford it the opportunity to file its comment or opposition to the demurrer to evidence filed by Go before coming out with a ruling.

IN BRIEF DOH: Watch community fireworks to stay safe THE Department of Health (DOH) on Monday advised the public to use alternatives to firecrackers in celebrating the holiday season, as part of the agency’s campaign for a safer Christmas. Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire, during a media briefing, said the public may use other objects to make noise or watch the community fireworks display. “Para maiwasan natin ‘yung mga injuries for this holiday season at mahirap din po magkaroon tayo ng mga ganitong kaso ngayon, lalong-lalo na kailangan natin ang ating existing resources for our COVID response (So we can avoid injuries for this holiday season. It is not the best time to be injured in that way, especially since we need our existing resources for our COVID-19 response.),” Vergeire said. On the other hand, the DOH also urged the public to continue wearing face masks and to ensure that air ventilation is sufficient while celebrating. Willie Casas

Taal illegal quarrying suspects arrested THE Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through its Environmental Law Enforcement and Protection Service arrested culprits in an anti-illegal quarrying operation at the Taal Volcano protected area. The DENR won a case against illegal miners operating inside the protected area in Batangas last October. Secretary Roy Cimatu said the miners who did the same illicit activities in the same area mean that “they remain unafraid of the environmental laws and their corresponding penalties.” “These illegal quarrying operations cannot be stopped if we remain complacent with enforcement operations. This is the reason why the DENR has bolstered training for our enforcement personnel, and more reasons why the legislative arm of the government should expedite the Environmental Protection and Enforcement Bureau Bill,” he stressed.

Agri groups want probe on DA fertilizer payment deal AN UMBRELLA group of agricultural organizations and the Abono party-list said they will ask the ofﬁce of Senator Cynthia Villar to conduct a legislative inquiry into the alleged failure of the Department of Agriculture (DA) to pay at least P100 million worth of fertilizers it owes dealers from Region 1. The dealers participated in DA’s fertilizer subsidy program that provided a P2,000 fertilizer voucher for farmers planting inbred rice varieties and P3,000 for those planting hybrid rice. “Some dealers can no longer serve the farmers because they have yet to receive payment from the DA. Where will the farmers turn to for their fertilizer needs? And how long must these dealers who have advanced their supply wait for the payment to arrive?” said Rosendo So, president of Samahang Industriya ng Agrikultura (SINAG) and Abono party-list chair. “We are sending a formal letter of request to Senator Villar today (Monday) as chairperson of the Senate Committee on Agriculture. The budget is there, so why is there a hold up at the DA?” he added. Earlier, Ronnie Cabanizas, spokesman of Association of Fertilizer and Pesticides, Distribution, Dealers and outlet of Pangasinan (AFPDOP), complained to SINAG that they have not been paid by the DA for the fertilizers they already delivered to farmer-beneﬁciaries amounting to P100 million, despite the availability of the funds. So said for Region 1, another P300 million worth of vouchers have been released to farmers, but the farmers complained that when they presented the voucher to the authorized fertilizer outlets to get the subsidy, the merchant told them that they cannot serve them since the DA has not yet paid them of their previous request for payouts for previously delivered fertilizers. The SINAG president also said that they received similar grievances from authorized fertilizer dealers in other regions, where the National Rice Program - Fertilizer Discount Vouchers to Rice Farmers” is being implemented, who are also experiencing similar problem of DA’s non-payment of their collectibles arising from their participation to the agency’s fertilizer’s discount vouchers.

DAR: 75 farmer-beneficiaries get 188-hectare Capiz estate By Rio N.

The Nemesio Tan estate is covered under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Pro-

gram located in Barangay Culilang, President Roxas, Capiz, and Barangays Dulangan and San Sebastian, Capiz with a total land area of 188.08 hectares. Sheila Enciso, DAR regional director, said the 175 farmer-beneﬁciaries of the Nemesio Tan property were installed on May 11 but due to the strong resistance of Ferdinand Bacanto, who claimed to be the former landowner’s administrator and the presence of

standing crops, the installed farmers were deprived of their rights to actually and physically possess their landholdings. “On the last week of November, the concerned agrarian reform beneﬁciaries, including members of their immediate households voluntarily helped in the clearing activities,” she said. She said they also put demarcation strings as markings of their awarded lands consider-

ing that concrete monuments installed by the DAR surveyors were already missing. “It is rightful and timely for the ARBs to take possession and cultivate their awarded lands taking into consideration their safety and security as the utmost priority,” she noted. She emphasized that it is the duty of the department to implement agrarian reform and that the awarded lands should be enjoyed by the farmer-beneﬁciaries.

Ramp up composting, farmers told By Macon Ramos-Araneta

Lingap sa Kapwa, an annual activity of the Faculty Association of College Industrial Technology-NEUST, pursues its objectives of giving assistance, love, and hope to the elderly and PWD of CCT and Brgy. Bagong Buhay, Cabanatuan City. Dean Marcelo Bulalayao of CIT-NEUST led the distribution of gift packs together with CCT Executive Director Froilan Parado.

SENATOR Cynthia A. Villar has renewed her call to Filipino farmers to ramp up composting using organic fertilizers, recognizing that healthy soil lays the groundwork for increased yield and income in agriculture, A farmers’ group is also supporting calls to reduce the country’s reliance on imported fertilizer by increasing local production amid the rapid increase in global prices. Villar, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Food, cited the need to protect the soil from deterioration and degradation to ensure agricultural growth as well as food sustainability. She noted that healthy soil is crucial to food security as about 95 percent of the food we consume is directly or indirectly produced from the soil. “Because of this, soil health is important for agricultural productivity, which in turn

will affect food security. And the solution is as simple as putting nutrients back to the soil through composting and going organic,” stressed Villar. In the Senate, Villar pushed for legislation that provides for soil protetion through sustainable and organic means. She has also established and supported projects and programs in numerous communities all over the country to promote proper waste management, particularly involving kitchen and garden wastes as well that can be turned into composts or organic fertilizers. “In creating our own fertilizers, adding from having a steady supply of cheap fertilizers, we are also saving up money which farmers can use for other purposes to better improve their harvest and earnings. Imported fertilizers are much expensive than those locally produced. So we are really asking our farmers to do composting,” added Villar.

SMC completes vaccination drive at Quezon City jail FORMER Quezon City jail inmates recently went back to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) prison facility to get their second dose of COVID-19 vaccinations. The vaccination drive is under a joint program by San Miguel Corporation’s (SMC) infrastructure arm, San Miguel Holdings Corp., the Quezon City chapter of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), and the BJMP. The vaccination drive, which aims to extend protection against the deadly virus to hundreds of inmates and prevent a breakout of the disease at the densely populated facility, was conducted by medical teams under the San Miguel Foundation’s “Ligtas Lahat” nationwide vaccination task force. The company’s “Bakuna Bus” mobile vaccination unit was utilized to bring the medical teams and second doses of Astra Zeneca vaccines to the jail facility. The inmates received their ﬁrst doses from the

same program in August this year. At least 11 individuals who had since been released from detention came back to avail of their second jabs. Prior to the rollout of vaccination in the country, the BJMP had to postpone all visitation activities in jails. The withdrawal of the detainee’s visitation rights was enforced as an added precaution to keep the virus outside their already-overburdened facilities. This means that detainees have been unable to see their loved ones throughout the periodic lockdowns since 2020. SMC president Ramon S. Ang said: “Even as the number of cases has gone down signiﬁcantly, continuous vaccination is still the most critical component of a sustained recovery for our country. And this means we cannot leave anyone behind, especially those in our marginalized sectors, and even those in our prison populations.” “I’m glad that even the inmates them-

selves appreciate the importance of getting vaccinated, so much so that even those that had already been released, came back to get their second shot. We’re grateful that the government, through BJMP, as well as organizations such as the IBP, are there to look after the welfare of inmates, and organize support for their vaccination,” he added. Ang reiterated that inmates also have families that long to visit them safely, and expressed hope that visitation privileges can be returned soon, once vaccination goals are achieved, so as to help maintain the wellbeing of detainees inside prison facilities. For his part, Mike Atante, IBP-Quezon City president and governor for the Greater Manila Region, said: “We are all aware of the difﬁcult conditions our persons deprived of liberty or PDLs, endure everyday, from crowded jails to lack of adequate access to proper legal services. We at the IBP are committed to helping change that.”

BICYCLE PROGRAM IN QC. Quezon City 4th District Councilor Hero Bautista has initiated the “Hero Bicycle Program” which donated bicycles to different frontliner offices. The most recent donation was to the health service department of Camp Caringal, the headquarters of the Quezon City Police Department, where five mountain bikes were personally donated by Bautista.

Ping warning vs scammers using his name By Macon Ramos-Araneta and Rio N. Araja PARTIDO Reporma chairman and standard-bearer Panfilo “Ping” Lacson warned the public Monday of ‘smishing’ scammers using his name, particularly in these days ahead of the campaign period on February 8. He urged the public not to respond to such dubious messages, whether through SMS (short messaging service) or messaging apps Smishing is the criiminal activity of sending ext messages to people to perauded them to give personal information like credit card details and personal identification numbers – the message arriving as a text message on a cell phone. According to Lacson, he had not been spared from the rash of those using text messaging to extract personal information for nefarious activities. The former national police chief stressed he would never authorize or condone such practice. The longtime public servant has also called on the National Privacy Commission to look more closely into attempts at digital vote-buying in the run-up to the May 9, 2022 elections, calling it a threat not just to the electoral system but to democracy itself. In a picture uploaded on social media over the weekend, a victim of the scam showed a screenshot of a message from a person who introduced himself as a member of Lacson’s family. The message sender said he was sending “ayuda” (cash aid) and the person targeted only needed to send his personal information to receive the supposed funding. “This is from Ping Lacson Family. Can you please claim your Ayuda’s from our Fam?,” the scammer’s text message read. “Note: If you are interested to get that pls. reply your real name and followed by your complete address. Thank You,” the message added. Based on the screen shot, after the victim sent his personal information, the scammer no longer replied. In the Philippines, authorities have listed phishing as the top cybercrime for years now. Smishing attacks are delivered by both traditional text messaging and non-SMS messaging apps. These attacks spread fast and are often unnoticeable due to their deceptive nature.

BBM to create plan to attain food security By Othel V. Campos PRESIDENTIAL aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. plans to create a grand plan to attain food security and stabilize the prices of agricultural commodities. At the forum “Halalan 2021 Para sa Agrikultura” organized by the Philippine Chamber of Agriculture and Food, Inc., Marcos underscored the gains of the Philippine government in the 70’s and early 80’s on its campaign to provide sustainable food at every Filipino family’s table. “There is going to be a need for an overall plan and that overall plan has to be at the national level. With the advent of climate change and global warming, all of these cannot be done at the local level. This should be done at the highest level of government,” he said Monday. The increasing level of agricultural commodities importation is another problem that Marcos is keen on resolving adding that supply is not only the problem but the supply line, as well. “We must have strategic food supply and rely on importations. We have to stand on our own especially during food crisis. Never mind the pandemic, there are events beyond our control like drought and war. Many things happen and we should be prepared to have our own and reliable sources of food,” Marcos said. In another gathering, senior citizens who experienced the administration of Bongbong’s father Ferdinand Marcos Sr. said it was the glory days in Philippine history, and only a unifying BBM presidency could usher in what they called the country’s “return to its former grandeur and a progressive new era.”

Comelec says ‘No deadline for voluntary withdrawal’ By Vito Barcelo and Willie Casas

HE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has said there is no deadline for voluntary withdrawal of certificate of candidacy among qualified candidates for the 2022 national elections. “A candidate may withdraw his Certificate of Candidacy anytime prior to election (on May 9),” Comelec spokesman James Jimenez said Monday. Jimenez issued the statement following reports that presidential aspirant senator Christopher Go announced his intention to withdraw from the 2022 national elections due to personal reasons. He said the November 15 deadline was for those who would withdraw their COC for them to be substituted by a party-mate. He said the affidavit of withdrawal could be filed directly with the main office of the Comelec, the office in Intramu-

ros, Manila for presidential, vice president and senators while for local posts, it could be filed in the regional election director concerned, the office of the provincial election supervisor of the province to which the municipality involved belongs or the office of the municipal election officer of the said municipality. Jimenez also clarified that after November 15, there could be no substitution for withdrawals that were voluntary. “The only deadlines we give are for substitution. For those removed from the race involuntarily by death or disqualification, the deadline on when you should

submit your substitution is midday of election,” Jimenez said in a press briefing. “Taking all of that under consideration, there is, in fact, no deadline for voluntary withdrawal. You can withdraw anytime, even on the day of the election.” He said a qualified candidate could even voluntarily withdraw even after he or she was proclaimed winner of the election. “Although such an event hadn’t happened yet, anything could happen during the election and this will be taken into consideration,” he said. Meanwhile, the Comelec lamented that health protocols were not being observed amid the COVID-19 pandemic as political aspirants in the 2022 elections start going around the country. He said: “It appears that the protocols are not being followed. For one thing, our guidelines are not yet applicable. “It will take effect on February 8 for national candidates and March 25 for local candidates.”

Lacson cites need for next leader to uphold integrity By Macon Ramos-Araneta PRESIDENTIAL aspirant Senator Panfilo Lacson of Partido Reporma said Monday one who would pass the test of money and power would be fit to be the leader of the 110 million Filipino people. Meanwhile, Lacson and his running mate Senate President Vicente Sotto III are scheduled to visit their allies and supporters in selected Visayan provinces this week for a series of “Online Kumustahan” gatherings and other activities.

The Lacson-Sotto tandem are expected to barnstorm some cities and municipalities across Cebu, Dumaguete, Negros Oriental and Northern Samar this weekend beginning this Friday (December 10) until Sunday, the Lacson camp said in a statement. Lacson cited the need for the next leader to uphold integrity by practicing what he preached, adding the ultimate test of a person’s character would give him power and offer him money. “If he passes this test, he is the ‘leader we

need,’” he said. During his law enforcement career, Lacson said he passed such tests of money and power by consistently declining rewards from grateful kin of kidnap victims he rescued while he was with the Philippine Constabulary, the predecessor of the Philippine National Police. The victims he rescued, according to records, included Robina Gokongwei and a then nine-year-old boy from a prominent Cebu family.

MANILA Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso has vowed to provide P10,000 cash assistance to each family who lost their belongings to a fire that razed a residential area in Barangay Mambaling, Cebu City, on November 26. Domagoso flew to Cebu recently and checked on the condition of the more than 900 displaced families, now living in temporary shelters at the Alaska Mambaling Elementary School and Mambaling Barangay Hall gymnasium, according to a press statement obtained by the Manila Standard.. This means a total P9 million for at least 900 families. In his visit to the fire victims, Domagoso was accompanied by Cebu 3rd District Rep. Pablo John Garcia, who also joined the Manila mayor during his “listening tour” around the province back in November. Domagos, the standard bearer of Aksyon Demokratiko, told the affected families each family would be given P10,000 and hoped the fire victims would be able to use

the money to rebuild their houses. Speaking in Filipino, he said, jokingly, “Wag n’yo ipangto-tong-its ha? Ibili n’yo ng yero para sa bubong at plywood para sa dingding.” Data from the Cebu City government’s Department of Social Welfare and Services disclosed that the fire in Mambaling displaced 944 families or more than 2,200 individuals. During the same visit, Domagoso was asked by the local media for his insights on Cebu’s support for his presidential bid. Domagoso said he would need Cebu’s support in pushing his presidential campaign. “I am asking for all kinds of support, especially if I can have the support of One Cebu. It is a known fact that Cebuanos are always united,” he said. In November, Rep. PJ Garcia said the party was seriously considering endorsing Domagoso’s presidential bid, saying the Manila mayor had displayed more concern for the people of Cebu than any of the candidates.

IN BRIEF Non-deployment seen for unvaccinated cops

THE Philippine National Police plans not to deploy for field duty policemen who have not received their vaccination as yet but they would still continue encouragint them to have their jabs, its chief Dionardo Carlos said Monday. “The soonest that we have crafted that policy, then we will implement it. Number one, why are we not going to deploy them? Because we do not want to put them at risk,” he told a press briefing. A memorandum circular will be released “in the coming days... to spell out the guidelines in the implementation of the ‘no jab, no duty’ policy,” he said. “As public servants and officers of the law, it is our responsibility to uphold public welfare at all times and lead by example in fulfilling the citizen’s duty to promote public health and safety, as vaccination is not anymore a matter of personal choice but a matter of public interest for the common good,” Carlos said. He said those covered by the policy would “still deliver police services” and not really be out of work. “Probably, (just) admin (duties),” Carlos added. Speaking at the same press briefing, Brig. Gen. Antonino Cirujales of the PNP Health Service said 1,808 cops remained unvaccinated as of Dec. 6. They account for less than one percent of the entire PNP force, said Carlos. Cirujales said 299 of them were citing medical reasons, while 194 said they had allergies. He added that 393 female police officers had also not yet received the jab because they were pregnant, and 63 had yet to get their COVID-19 shot because they were lactating.

The award, the highest honor the UST Law Alumni Foundation Inc. can bestow, is given to distinguished law graduates of the university in recognition of their outstanding career achievements, leadership in the professions and noteworthy public service. The foundation recognized the 44-yearold Velasco for his “sterling leadership” as Speaker of the House of Representatives, representative of the lone district of Marinduque province, past president of the Integrated Bar of the PhilippinesMarinduque Chapter and provincial administrator of Marinduque. Velasco has “proudly exhibited an unqualified commitment to serve God and the nation through a strong adherence to the Thomasian core values of competence, compassion and commitment,” it cited. He was also recognized for his “impeccable governance marked with honesty and selflessness.” Rio N. Araja

CALOOCAN City has been ranked top 3 in the entire National Capital Region in the Collection Efficiency of Locally Sourced Revenues category for the Local Revenue Generation for Fiscal Year 2020. The city was awarded by the Bureau of Local Government Finance after reaching a collection efficiency of 123.1 percent and the LSR of Caloocan reached P3,090.75M and surpassed the target of P2,510.57M. The LSR is the sum of the collected Real Property Tax, Local Business Tax, Professional Taxes, Community Taxes, Regulatory fees and other service charges, and receipts from economic enterprises. According to Mayor Oscar Malapitan, this award “is proof that the local government has a proper, honest and efficient tax collection system.” Jun David

Opinion A glimpse of ‘normal’ in the classroom many people believe that restricting youngsters inside their homes for a long period of time may have done more harm to their well-being. Child development experts and educators say the younger children in delicate formative years have missed their needed social inter-active learning, including playing with schoolmates and friends. There is no sense suspending the holding of on-campus classes since kids, especially teenagers, can now freely go to the shopping malls and public parks. Since curfew hours were lifted, kids have been loitering the streets and crowding internet joints even in wee hours, contributing to rising incidence of street crimes. They are better off in school where they can be guided by trained teachers. It will take the cooperation of parents, barangay and LGUs, to enable more schools to conduct in-person or face-toface classes so the youngsters can get the quality education they deserve. We only have to ensure that the highest standards of health and safety are observed in the campuses. All teachers and school personnel must be fully vaccinated. Antigen test kits should be readily available in case a student or school staff member exhibits any symptoms during the in-person classes. Parents should be prohibited from entering the school premises and restricted to a holding area where they can pick up their kids after classes. Barangay staff and members of the parent-teacher association volunteers should oversee the arrival and departure of students at school gates. President Duterte approved in September the two-month pilot-testing of in-person classes in areas with low risk for COVID-19. The DepEd launched the pilot-testing in November with in-person classes of students in kindergarten, Grades 1 to 3 and senior high schools selected based on their capability to carry out contingency plans in case of a COVID-19 infection.

THE resumption of in-person or face-toface grade school classes all over the country is a milestone that marks a significant step towards normalcy or the “new normal. It sure was exciting for parents to be allowed to take the children to the shopping malls now that all 17 regions are under Alert Level 2 especially this yuletide season. But to see some kids back in the classroom setting brings a reassuring semblance of a return to our usual mode of daily living. At least it is the case for thousands of students of 277 public and private schools, including 28 in the National Capital Region that began face-to-face sessions Monday December 6.

It’s a semblance of a return to the old days. The 28 schools in Metro Manila acac counts for some 2,000 students trooping back to the campuses while the figures on the students in other regions were not immediately made available by the Department of Education (DepEd). The gargantuan number of 26.3 million primary and secondary students may have to continue online classes and wait a bit more till they meet their teachers in the flesh. DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones is hoping more schools would resume in-person classes in the coming months amid improved pandemic conditions and the government’s massive vaccination drive, even as the Department of Health reportedly has not detected any case of Covid variant Omicron infection. After almost two years of the pandemic,

Legacies of Duterte

IT IS common that when a president of the Philippines is about to step down, people start talking about his legacy - something we can remember him or her by. Let’s start with Rodrigo Duterte’s failed wars - his war on illegal drugs which the next president will have to continue, and his failed war on government graft and corruption. My gulay, how can we forget the killings of everybody involved in illegal drugs, even users and addicts, who are victims? Official records say that over 6,000 were killed, but unofficial estimates place the number at 28,000.

The President is indeed so many things. This remains a black mark in his legacy. Another black mark is the failed war on graft and corruption. Duterte is also the only president we know who curses in his many speeches. He is the only president who makes indecent jokes about women. He is the only leader who openly has a common-in-law wife — or a partner as they are euphemistically called. Yes, we have had presidents from the time of Manuel L. Quezon who had girlfriends and mistresses with children, but they do not live with them as Duterte does. He is also the only president we know who makes a joke about priests and nuns having sexual affairs. For a Catholic country like the Philippines, this does not sit well with the faithful. Duterte also pivoted to China despite the frequent incursions of China in the West Philippine Sea. And yet, despite everything, President Duterte’s trust and satisfaction ratings make him the most popular president we ever had. I have an explanation for this, but, my gulay, it would take another column to explain it. While we cannot forget the negative aspect of the Duterte presidency, his Build, Build, Build program has brought the Philippines to the Golden Age of Infrastructure. The next President must continue this. ••• While political analysts claim that the

withdrawal of Bong Go from the presidential race can only benefit the Bongbong-Sara tandem in many ways, there are also others who say that it will now open the gates for the President to endorse other candidates. I believe, however, that if the President were to endorse others except Bongbong Marcos he (Duterte) would be going against his daughter, Sara, who is the teammate of Marcos. That would be illogical and even silly, wouldn’t it? The question now is if Bongbong, the frontrunner in the presidential race, together with Sara, also the frontrunner in the vice presidential race, still need the endorsement of the President. Personally, I believe they don’t. Another follow-up question is, will the BBM-Sara tandem any good to be labelled as the “administration candidates” with the President’s endorsement? Personally, I think it will not make any difference. In any case, the speculated endorsement of the ruling party - Cusi wing, if it hasn’t done so as I write this column, can only benefit the Bongbong-Sara team. The governors of 52 provinces of the ruling party will be a plus for Bongbong and Inday Sara. Note that I added Inday to Sara’s name because in Cebuano, a lady is called Inday. With the combination of the Solid North of Bongbong, and the Solid South of Sara together with the Cebuano votes and the Waray votes of Eastern Visayas, it’s all but done. If PDP-Laban endorses the BBM-Sara tandem, together with Lakas-CMB, Federal Party ng Pilipinas, Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino of Erap Estrada, and Sara’s Hugpong ng Pagbabago, it’s really game over for the other candidates. Bongbong and Sara don’t really need the President anymore. ••• I had a good laugh when I read that Bong Go claimed that this withdrawal from the presidential race was for the sake of his boss, the President. The truth of the matter was that Bong Go knew he did not have any chance of beating Bongbong in the race despite President Duterte’s endorsement. In other words, Go realized that the President was just using him (Go) to hit back at Marcos when Sara teamed up with Marcos without Sara consulting her father. Bong Go’s withdrawal was more out of self-respect than anything else. So who will become the administration’s candidate with Bong Go out of the picture, and how will it affect the overall situation of the national elections?

A promise kept

URING his almost six years in office, President Duterte often railed against fake news. But in all that time, he was clearly not above shoveling some of it in our direction. Those who were wrongfully included in his much-publicized but unsubstantiated “Oust-Duterte” matrix in 2019—including a future Olympic gold medalist—surely know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of this kind of a lie. In a speech in Zamboanga City last week, Mr. Dutere gave us yet another gem, saying he kept almost all of his promises. “My term is nearing its end. I can say with a little bit of pride that I fulfilled almost all of my promises,” he said in a mix of English and Filipino. In 2016, candidate Duterte ran on two major campaign promises: to end the drug problem and to end corruption in the government. These, he promised to do in six months. But as President, Mr. Duterte said he finally realized the severity of these problems—and pleaded for more time. “That self-imposed time of three to six months, well, I did not realize how severe and how serious the problem of drug menace in this republic until I became President,” he said in December 2021. “Just give me a little extension of maybe of another six months. Because I never have that idea of hundreds of thousands of people in the drug business. And what makes it worst is, they are now operated by people in government, especially those elected officials,” he said. It has been 65 months now, and we are

no closer to seeing either of those promises fulfilled.

Here’s where Mr. Duterte certainly delivered. In a candid moment in 2019, at a popo litical rally in Malabon, the President admitted his campaign against drugs was a failure, and that the drug trade had even worsened. “You can read it every day, even in the crawler of the TV networks. There are billions worth of drugs. Before, it was only thousands. Drugs, I cannot control, son of a b***h, even if I ordered the deaths of these idiots,” Duterte said. Over his 65 months in office, Mr. Duterte also said he would not tolerate even “the whiff of corruption” among the people in his government. But the reality was, he constantly used his position to reward people who helped him during his presidential campaign, regardless of their qualifications. He used a Filipino term—utang na loob-- to justify this repayment of debts, as if this were a virtue, even in what was supposed to be a meritocracy. Those who later became embroiled in allegations of irregularity were merely transferred to other positions.

At the onset of the pandemic last year, one of those appointees at the Department of Budget and Management authorized the purchase of more than P80 billion worth of medical supplies from a small, under-capitalized start-up, whose benefactor—a Chinese national based in Davao--was the President’s long-time friend and former economic adviser. The President not only tolerated this whiff—some say stench--of corruption, he defended the irregular transactions and viciously attacked senators who tried to bring out the truth. In June 2016, candidate Duterte said: “There will never be an instance that we will surrender our right over Scarborough Shoal … That is not a territorial issue. It is an issue about being obstructed or impeded because of the constructions there and we cannot exercise freely the rights under UNCLOS of the 200-mile economic zone that is exclusive to us.” After kowtowing to Beijing for the last five years in almost every maritime confrontation, Mr. Duterte in May 2021 said the country’s 2016 arbitral victory against China’s claims in the West Philippine Sea was just a piece of paper that he can throw away in a trash bin. There is one promise, though, that Mr. Duterte has kept. “If I become president, it would be bloody because we’ll order the killing of all criminals,” candidate Duterte promised in February 2016. With more than 8,000 drug suspects killed—and many thousands more not on the official record—this is sadly the one promise Mr. Duterte unequivocally kept.

Maria Ressa honors all of us public. These rights are crucial prerequisites for democracy and protect against war and conflict. The award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Ressa and Dmitry Muratov is intended to underscore the importance of protecting and defending these fundamental rights.

ON DECEMBER 10, 2021, Maria Ressa, founder of Rappler (disclosure: I am a member of its Board of Directors), will be conferred the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway. This was announced by the Norwegian Nobel Committee on October 8, 2021. According to its press release: “The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2021 to Maria Ressa and Dmitry Muratov for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace. Ms Ressa and Mr Muratov are receiving the Peace Prize for their courageous fight for freedom of expression in the Philippines and Russia. At the same time, they are representatives of all journalists who stand up for this ideal in a world in which democracy and freedom of the press face increasingly adverse conditions. Maria Ressa uses freedom of expression to expose abuse of power, use of violence and growing authoritarianism in her native country, the Philippines. In 2012, she co-founded Rappler, a digital media company for investigative journalism, which she still heads. As a journalist and the Rappler’s CEO, Ressa has shown herself to be a fearless defender of freedom of expression. Rappler has focused critical attention on the Duterte regime’s controversial, murderous anti-drug campaign. The number of deaths is so high that the campaign resembles a war waged against the country’s own population. Ms Ressa and Rappler have also documented how social media is being used to spread fake news, harass opponents and manipulate public discourse . . . Free, independent and fact-based journalism serves to protect against abuse of power, lies and war propaganda. The Norwegian Nobel Committee is convinced that freedom of expression and freedom of information help to ensure an informed

From my point of view, it doesn’t really make any difference. The Bongbong-Sara tandem should be considered the administration team with Sara being BBM’s Vice President candidate. •••

Clarity of mind, integrity and courage of heart Without freedom of expression and freedom of the press, it will be difficult to successfully promote fraternity between nations, disarmament and a better world order to succeed in our time. This year’s award of the Nobel Peace Prize is therefore firmly anchored in the provisions of Alfred Nobel’s will.” As the Movement Against Disinformation (MAD), a coalition of individuals and organizations I lead, has stated: “This historic occasion, whereby a Filipino will be honored to receive the most prestigious international award, cannot be understated. Between 1901 and 2021, only 109 individuals have been conferred with this award. This brings great honor and recognition not only to Ms. Ressa but to the Philippines, Filipinos both present and unborn, and all journalists whom she represents through this award.” In MAD’s statement supporting her request to the Court of Appeals for her to travel to Oslo, we point to the speed within which technology companies transform their business models, including the algorithms that they use to prioritize the contents that would be pushed to the fore of the information ecosystem, eludes and evades the ability of the state to understand and follow their implications on society. We also emphasized the inability of the state regulators to fully grasp the impact of disinformation in social media on the public at large renders impossible any attempt to implement effective guardrails that could protect the public interest. As society becomes deeply divided and further splintered apart on critical issues, due to the

The possibility of the Omicron variant entering the Philippines, despite all the precautions of the government, can spoil the economic recovery of the Philippines. And all we can do is just to hope and pray that it will not be so.

proliferation of several versions of truth, journalists, such as Ms. Ressa, must continue to hold the line, speak truth to power and make sense of the chaos brought about by disinformation for the benefit of the public interest and the public good. On a personal note, Maria and I have been friends and colleagues for many years. She has my support and I congratulate her for this richly deserved award. When she was in Harvard University last month, to deliver the Salant Lecture, Marias was interviewed by The Independent and asked where she thought all the harassment against her and Rappler would lead. Her response: “I don’t know where it will lead. But I know that if we keep doing our task, staying on mission, holding the line, that there’s a better chance that our democracy not only survives, but that I also stay out of jail. Because I’ve done nothing wrong except be a journalist, and that is the price we have to pay. I wish it wasn’t me, but it is.” She went on to say: “If you don’t have facts, you can’t have truth. You can’t have trust. You don’t have a shared reality,” she said. “So how do we solve these existential problems — the rise of fascism, coronavirus, climate change — if we don’t agree on the facts? This is fundamental.” It is because of this clarity of mind and integrity and courage of heart that Maria Ressa deserves the Nobel and why I will always be her friend and supporter.

Scholz sits as PM as Merkel era ends

ERLIN— Germany’s parliament will officially elect Olaf Scholz on Wednesday as the country’s next chancellor, bringing the curtain down on Angela Merkel’s 16-year reign and ushering in a new political era with the centre-left in charge.

Scholz led his Social Democrats to victory against Merkel’s conservative CDU-CSU bloc in an epochal election in September, as the veteran chancellor prepared to leave politics after four consecutive terms in office. Together with the Greens and the liberal Free Democrats, Scholz’s SPD managed in a far shorter time than ex-

pected to forge a coalition that aspires to make Germany greener and fairer. “I want the 20s to be a time of new beginnings,” Scholz told Die Zeit weekly, declaring an ambition to push forward “the biggest industrial modernization which will be capable of stopping climate change caused by mankind”. The center-left’s return to power in

Europe’s biggest economy could shift the balance on a continent still reeling from Brexit and with the other major player, France, heading into presidential elections in 2022. But even before it took office, Scholz’s “traffic-light” coalition—named after the three parties’ colors—was already given a baptism of fire in the form of a fierce fourth wave of the coronavirus pandemic. ‘No red lines’ With intensive care beds running out in some regions and a rampant rise in infection numbers showing no signs of abating, Scholz and his new team have been pressed—including by Merkel—to

agree new curbs even before they are sworn in by parliament. After Austria set the example and with Germany struggling to boost stagnating vaccination numbers, the parties also came under pressure to make an about-turn on a pledge made earlier in the pandemic not to make vaccinations compulsory. Scholz has since spoken out in favour of mandatory vaccination, saying he wanted MPs to vote on the issue before year’s end with a view of implementing it in February. “For my government, there are no red lines on what must be done. We’re ruling nothing out,” he told Die Zeit. “That’s not something we can do dur-

Gov’ts help arms firms avoid COVID slump: report STOCKHOLM—The world’s biggest weapons manufacturers largely avoided the economic downturn caused by COVID-19 and recorded a growth in profits last year for the sixth year in a row, according to a report published on Monday. Governments around the world have continued to buy arms during the pandemic and some also passed measures to help their big weapons firms, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). Overall, the 100 top weapons firms saw their profits rise by 1.3 percent on 2019 to a record $531 billion, despite the global economy contracting by more than three percent. “Military manufacturers were largely shielded by sustained government demand for military goods and services,” said SIPRI researcher Alexandra Marksteiner in the institute’s annual assessment of arms companies. “In much of the world, military spending grew and some governments even accelerated payments to the arms industry in order to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 crisis.” The top five arms firms were all from the United States, LockheedMartin—which counts F-35 fighter jets and various types of missiles among its bestsellers—consolidating its first place with sales of $58.2 billion. Britain’s BAE Systems, in sixth position, was the highest-placed European firm, just ahead of three Chinese groups. “The rise of China as a major arms producer has been driven by its aim to become more self-reliant in weapons production and by the implementation of ambitious modernisation programmes,” the report said.

France prexy bet hurt amid rally marred by brawl PARIS—French far-right presidential candidate Eric Zemmour was left lightly injured after being assaulted at his first campaign rally on Sunday where fighting also broke out during his speech in front of thousands of supporters. The 63-year-old author and television commentator suffered a wrist injury when a man grabbed him violently as he made his way towards the stage at a giant exhibition centre northeast of Paris on Sunday afternoon, an aide told AFP. The rally was his first official campaign event since his announcement on Tuesday that he would seek to unseat centrist President Emmanuel Macron in next April’s election. “The stakes are huge: if I win it will be the start of winning back the most beautiful country in the world,” Zemmour told the crowd in Villepinte which cheered his anti-immigration rhetoric loudly. Shortly after he started speaking, fighting broke out and chairs were thrown at activists who stood up with “No to Racism” written on their Tshirts. “We wanted to do a non-violent protest,” Aline Kremer from the group SOS Racisme, which organised the stunt, told AFP. “People jumped on them and started hitting them.” A crew from the popular but critical Quotidien nightly TV news show was also booed and briefly removed by security, with hostility to the media a feature of Zemmour’s and other speeches at the event.

ing a huge natural disaster or a health catastrophe like a pandemic.” Balancing act Dubbed “the discreet” by left-leaning daily TAZ, Scholz, 63, is often described as austere or robotic. But he also has a reputation for being a meticulous workhorse. An experienced hand in government, Scholz was labor minister in Merkel’s first coalition from 2007 to 2009 before taking over as vice-chancellor and finance minister in 2015. Yet his three-party-alliance is the first such mix at the federal level, as the FDP is not a natural partner for the SPD or the Greens. AFP

Bob Dole—WWII hero, veteran US solon—dies at 98 WASHINGTON—Bob Dole, who battled back from being severely wounded in World War II to become a five-term US senator and the Republican Party’s 1996 presidential nominee, died on Sunday at the age of 98. As tributes poured in for the veteran politician, President Joe Biden paid respect to his “friend” and “an American statesman like few in our history” by ordering flags to fly at half-staff on federal grounds through Thursday. Dole died in his sleep early Sunday morning, according to the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, which is named after his wife. The longtime senator had disclosed in February that he was being treated for stage four lung cancer. “America has lost one of its heroes, our family has lost its rock,” his family said in a statement. “Our grief is soft-

ened by our gratitude for having shared in so vibrant a life.” Dole captured the Republican White House nomination on his third attempt in 1996, but went on to lose the race to Democrat Bill Clinton—20 years after losing the 1976 election as Gerald

Ford’s running mate. A conservative and fiercely partisan Republican who campaigned for reining in government, Dole also had a pragmatic streak and sponsored bipartisan legislation during his 35 years in Congress. He played a key role in the expansion of the food stamp program in the 1970s, the extension of the Voting Rights Act in 1982 and the adoption of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. Dole was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest US civilian honor, by Clinton in 1997. Born July 22, 1923, Robert Joseph Dole grew up in the prairie town of Russell, Kansas, and presented himself as a plain-spoken, unpretentious man of action, rather than one of lofty ideals and soaring rhetoric.

NEW DELHI—Russian President Vladimir Putin will arrive in India on Monday for just his second overseas trip since the pandemic, seeking to bolster military and energy ties with a traditional ally being courted by Washington. In its efforts to address a rising China, Washington has set up the QUAD security dialogue with India, Japan, and Australia, raising concerns in both Beijing and Moscow. India was close to the Soviet Union during the Cold War, a relationship that has endured, with New Delhi calling it a “special and privileged strategic partnership”. “The friendship between India and Russia has stood the test of time,” Modi told Putin at a virtual summit in September. “You have always been a great friend of India.” It is only the Russian leader’s second trip abroad since the coronavirus pandemic began—he skipped both the G20 and COP26 summits this year— after a June summit with US President Joe Biden in Geneva. “It’s hugely symbolic,” said Nandan Unnikrishnan from New Delhi-based Observer Research Foundation think tank. “It’s indicative how they do not want the relationship to stagnate or slow down for want of something from the Russian side.” But Putin has to contend with complex regional dynamics, with tensions mounting between India and Russia’s traditional ally China following deadly clashes in a disputed Himalayan region. “Russia’s influence in the region is very limited,” said Tatiana Belousova of OP Jindal Global University in Haryana, “mostly because of its close ties with China and unwillingness to act in dissonance with the Chinese regional interests.” AFP

13 civilians killed by security forces in India’s northeast Nagaland state NEW DELHI—Indian security forces killed 13 civilians in the northeastern state of Nagaland after firing on a truck and later shooting at a crowd that gathered to protest the attack, police said Sunday. Troops shot dead six laborers returning to their homes on Saturday afternoon in Mon district, near the Myanmar border, after setting up an ambush for insurgents they believed were operating in the area. Family members and villagers later went looking for the missing men and confronted the troops after finding the bodies. “This is where a confrontation happened between the two sides, and the security personnel fired, killing seven more people,” Nagaland police officer Sandeep M. Tamgadge told AFP. Tamgadge said the situation in the district was “very tense right now”,

with nine other civilians wounded in the second incident being treated in local hospitals. The Indian army said in a statement one of its soldiers had died during the confrontation, with an unspecified number of troops wounded. It added soldiers were acting on “credible intelligence” that insurgents were operating in the area and had laid an ambush to intercept them. “The cause of the unfortunate loss of lives is being investigated at the highest level and appropriate action will be taken as per the course of law,” the statement said. Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio appealed for calm and announced an investigation into the event. “The unfortunate incident leading to killing of civilians at Oting, Mon is highly condemnable,” he said on Twitter. “Appeal for peace from all sections.” AFP

Media: Former FARC leader killed in Venezuela BOGOTA—A dissident former leader of the FARC guerrillas was shot dead in Venezuela by other rebels, Colombian media reported Sunday. Citing Colombian and Venezuelan intelligence sources, several newspapers said Hernan Dario Velasquez, nicknamed “El Paisa” (“The Peasant”), had been ambushed in the state of Apure, on the border with Colombia. Neither the Colombian nor the Venezuelan government have confirmed the reports. The Colombian military also told the media it had no knowledge of the reported killing. Feared during his years at the head of an elite armed team in the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), Velasquez moved away from the rebel group in 2018, two years after the signing of a peace deal with the Colombian government.

He was infamous for his armed attacks, including a car bombing that killed 36 people and wounded dozens of others in February 2003 in Bogota. Some 13,000 guerrillas have surrendered their arms since the signing of the peace pact in 2016, and the FARC has since transformed into a minority political party. Violence nevertheless persists in many regions of Colombia where FARC dissidents, more than 5,000 of whom rejected the deal, continue to fight paramilitary and rebel groups and drug traffickers in the world’s largest cocaine-producing country. Velasquez had been one of the accord negotiators. After leaving the FARC, he reappeared in 2019 alongside former FARC leaders Ivan Marquez and Jesus Santrich to announce he was taking up arms once more. AFP

PH banks urged to support shift to renewable energy By Julito G. Rada BANGKO Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Benjamin Diokno on Monday asked banks to support the country’s transition to renewable energy and back small businesses and agricultural sectors hit hard by the pandemic as part of a broader shift to mainstream sustainable finance. Diokno said during the recent Maybank 25th anniversary forum that the BSP provides an enabling regulatory environment to drive sustainable finance in the country as banks take on the green and sustainable path and lead supervised entities by example. “We have started integrating sustainability principles in our investment process with over $550 million investment in the Green Bond Fund managed by the Bank for International Settlements,” Diokno said in a presentation. “We are also reviewing our investment strategy to consider strategic allocation of investments toward those that espouse environmental, social, and governance principles,” he said. He said to further enhance the regulatory environment, the BSP issued the Sustainable Finance Framework and Environmental and Social Risk Management Framework, setting the groundwork for succeeding BSP policy issuances in sustainable finance. Released in April 2020, the Sustainable Finance Framework highlights overarching principles of integrating sustainability and environmental, social and governance considerations in banks’ corporate and risk governance frameworks, business strategies and operations. Meanwhile, the Environmental and Social Risk Management Framework, which was released in October this year, gives more detailed supervisory expectations on the management of environmental and social risks in the context of credit and operational risks. “The BSP will remain steadfast in leading sustainability principles in the banking sector consistent with our national aspirations for sustainable development,” Diokno said.

Business DITO Telecom avoids price war, bares market strategy By Jenniffer B. Austria

ITO CME Holdings Corp. of businessman Dennis Uy said its telecom unit will not engage in a price war with the two major players and will instead focus on delivering faster internet.

“The way we are challenging the market is not the same way as Sun Celular did in the late 2010. The game is different and the investment is more serious this time,” DITO CME president Ernesto Alberto said in an interview. Alberto said instead of igniting a price war, Dito Telecommunity would try to gain a market share from the other players by delivering faster speed, differentiating consumer experience and offering simpler products to customers.

“What the market needs right now is data. The market needs a platform that will deliver speed and security and that is what we intend to do,” Alberto said. “We intend not to be the cheapest but the highest value for money. We try to be competitive and delivering to customers what they really need and that is pure and unadulterated service and not branding,” he said. Dito Telecommunity, the third major telecom player, had a national population coverage of 52.75 percent based on the second audit of the National Telecommunications Commission, along with minimum average speeds of 89.13 megabits per second for 4G and 853.96 mbps for 5G. Alberto said the need for data cuts across all classes of the economy, unlike in the previous years when digital was only for the A and B market. He said DITO CME is also raising up to P8 billion from a stock rights offering to provide better mobile experience to customers and fund its network rollout.

DITO CME chief finance Joseph John Ong said the company was not slowing on construction of cell sites, after building 2,000 stations in 2020 and possibly another 2,000 this year. As a result, the company’s subscriber base breached 4 million as of end-November and could hit 4.5 to 5 million by end-2021. “If we continue with the pace we are doing which is 2,000 stations in 2020, and we think we can do the same if not more in 2021 and moving forward, I think it would be fair to assume that we will be able to double our subscriber base, assuming all things being equal,” Ong said. Based on the registration statement filed with corporate regulators, DITO CME will offer up to 1.639 billion common shares at P4.88 to P6.88 per share. The rights offering would be held by early 2022. The company tapped ChinaBank Capital as the sole underwriter for the offering.

Dominguez asks LandBank and GSIS to help strengthen PCIC finances FINANCE Secretary Carlos Dominguez III ordered state-run Land Bank of the Philippines and Government Service Insurance System to assist Philippine Crop Insurance Corp. in strengthening its financial state. The Department of Finance said in a statement Monday Dominguez wanted the two agencies to work with PCIC in determining ways of efficiently managing its risks and enhancing its investment portfolio to ensure that taxpayers’ money used to subsidize the state-run firm’s operations are spent well. Dominguez issued the directive in a meeting after finding out from PCIC’s recent presentation that it was spending 35 centavos for every peso that went out of the company. GSIS president-general manager Ro-

lando Macasaet said that compared to PCIC, the GSIS spends only around 3 to 5 centavos for every peso it gives out. Dominguez, who chairs the Social Security Commission, said the Social Security System spends about 6 centavos for every peso going out of the pension fund. The PCIC informed the corporation’s board chaired by Dominguez during its Nov. 19 meeting that it plunked P6.8 billion of its cash assets mostly in LandBank and the Bureau of the Treasury, which Dominguez said could have earned more money if the firm placed them in other, higher-yielding investments. Dominguez told PCIC president Jovy Bernabe to instruct the firm’s Treasury Office handling the corporation’s investments to coordinate with the GSIS

in finding ways to increase the yield of PCIC’s P6.8-billion cash assets. Dominguez said the GSIS is in a better position to assist the PCIC regarding this concern as it was efficiently handling about P1 trillion in investments for the state pension fund and its members. “Rolly [Macasaet] and [LandBank president and CEO] Cecille [Borromeo], can you take a lead on this. Let’s determine if we are doing the right thing here or do it in a way that is better,” Dominguez said after the PCIC’s presentation of its highlights of operations and other finance-related matters during the corporation’s third board meeting. National Treasurer Rosalia de Leon said the cash being invested by PCIC comes from the subsidy provided by the government, thus, what they are invest-

ing in BTr is just like returning to the state coffers money that earns passively by incurring interest. De Leon also reminded the PCIC that the source of its premium subsidies comes from the budget under the Agri-Agra Reform Credit Act, and once proposed amendments to this law are passed by the Congress and enacted, the firm would no longer be able to receive this allocation. De Leon said under the proposed amendments to the law, a portion of the penalties paid by the banks to make up for their non-compliance with the provision to extend at least 25 percent of their total loanable funds to agriculture and agrarian reform beneficiaries would no longer go to the PCIC.

MPTC unit keen on tapping funds to make CALAX a ‘green highway’ By Darwin G. Amojelar METRO Pacific Tollways South Management Corp., a unit of Metro Pacific Tollways Corp., is looking at green funds in the medium term to refinance debt as it aims to transform the CaviteLaguna Expressway (CALAX) into a “green highway.” “We want to make Calax [Cavite Laguna Expressway] as a pioneer in terms of doing green financing in the country in the next three yeas as we complete Calax,” Christopher Lizo, MPTC chief finance officer and senior executive sponsor for sustainability, said in a virtual briefing Monday. “When we are ready we will consider looking at green financing to refinance our existing loans,” he added. Lizo said financing for the the completion of Calax was already in place. CALAX as of today operates from Biñan, Laguna up to the east of Silang, Cavite. It is set to be fully completed by 2023. CALAX is a 45-kilometer high-speed road network connecting the two provinces of Cavite and Laguna. It aims to

serve around 45,000 motorists upon completion. MPT South has teamed up with the United States Agency for International Development’s Sustainable Interventions for Biodiversity, Oceans and Landscapes (SIBOL) for its sustainability efforts to turn Calax into a ‘green highway’. “We are grateful to USAID SIBOL for allowing us to tap into their pool of knowledge and expertise so that we can make science-based and nature-centered decisions as we move towards our goal of turning CALAX into a green highway,” Roberto Bontia, MPT South president and general manager, said. The agreement with MPT South is in line with USAID SIBOL’s goal of improving biodiversity conservation by working towards voluntary industry standards and replicating the re-wilding model in similar projects. The project works with government agencies, academia, local communities and the private sector in turning this objective into concrete activities that positively impact the environment.

Meralco expects rates to increase due to lower Malampaya supply By Alena Mae S. Flores MANILA Electric Co., the biggest retailer of electricity, expects rates to rise this month due to an amortized charge of P0.13 per kilowatt-hour, high coal prices and lower delivery from the Malampaya natural gas field., Meralco vice president and head of utility economics Lawrence Fernandez said has not received the final billings from suppliers, but an increase is expected in the December generation charge. “As we may recall, a portion of Novem-

ber generation costs was deferred, to be amortized over four months, so that the November generation rate was around P0.52 per kWh lower than what it would have been,” Fernandez said. He said the December bill would include one-fourth of the deferred generation costs, or around P0.13 per kWh, as directed by the Energy Regulatory Commission. “Also, the prevailing high coal prices in the world market and the continued use of more expensive alternative fuel with the persisting Malampaya gas supply restriction are expected to raise the fuel costs for

this billing period,” Fernandez said. The output of the Malampaya gas project in northwest Palawan has been declining, resulting in fuel delivery restrictions to the natural gas power plants that supply Meralco. With the gas restriction, some natural gas plants are forced to run on the more expensive liquid fuel. Meralco’s charges in November increased P0.3256 per kWh as the overall rate for a typical household rose to P9.4630 per kWh from P9.1374 per kWh in October due to higher generation charge.

PUBG Mobile-Arcane collab gets rave reviews PINOY gamers are among the f irst to experience Arcane in PUBG MOBILE in Asia and key opinion leaders are giving rave reviews in Version 1.7 update. Unique Mode “I didn’t expect this from the collab,” said PUBG MOBILE player and KOL John Vincent Almodal, popularly known as “Vigor” in the game streaming Facebook community. Vigor shared that the uniqueness of the mode of PUBG MOBILE x Arcane collab (Version 1.7 update) makes him want to play the game more. The brand new mode brings an interaction of two worlds—the mysterious Mirror Island appear in PUBG Mobile, which is the projected space of Arcane’s world. When players land on the Mirror Island, they can become Arcane characters and unlock different gaming experiences using gameplay skills featured in League of Legends.

LOL Champions Another KOL, Zen Aragon or ZenPro, who is a well-known game streamer on FB and a popular PUBG Mobile player, said that the Version 1.7 update is “the best collab ever.” “Being a Champion delays your death,” quipped ZenPro. In this game, when you enter the exciting Mirror Island, you will gain abilities and become champions like Jinx, Vi, Jayce, or Caitlyn. You can also make use of brand new weapons and skills to fight against other players. Once you are eliminated, you will be forcibly ejected and restored to a normal state. In addition, outfit suits of the characters and other themed items can also be redeemed through event missions. This gives players the chance to play these champions permanently in a battle royale game. “From someone who does not play multiplayer online battle arena games, I really enjoyed playing PUBG MOBILE, especially with Arcane characters. I think the

collaboration is great for some MOBA fans that are playing PUBG MOBILE since they can play as some of their favourite heroes from LOL,” added Vigor. New Carry Feature “The new carry feature is a chokeslam to all who wish to block—the best!,” shared ZenPro. With Version 1.7 Update, you can now carry knocked down players on your back, and move them to another location. If you are carrying your fallen teammates, your movement speed is reduced, and it is unable to carry out such behaviours as gun shooting, melee combat, picking up, getting on the car, using medkits, and others. PUBG MOBILE provides new, interesting, and engaging content to its players, through partnerships with key entertainment properties in movies and gaming as well as collaborations with musicians, celebrities and more. “Can’t wait to see a PUBG MOBILE and BTS collab in the near future!,” quipped Vigor.

PH Olympians honor BAVI with Arête Award BOUNTY Agro Ventures Incorporated, in the form of Chooks-to-Go stores. And the company behind Chooks-to-Go, was it did not go unnoticed by the POA. honored by the Philippine Olympians On Friday, POA president Akiko Association with the Arête Award.

Freddie Webb, Ronald Mascarinas, Akiko Thompson-Guevara, and Gerardo Rosario

home of BAVI president Ronald Mascariñas in Calauan, Laguna to bestow the prestigious award. “Kami ay pinagpala na nakarating kaming tatlo sapagkat ito’y ang oportunidad namin na makilala si Sir Ronald at mapaabot namin sa kanya ang aming pasasalamat,” said Webb, a member of the 1972 men’s basketball team that competed in the Munich Olympics. “Ang mga Olympians po ay tumatanda na hindi na nakikilala. Tumatanda na lang at nakakalimutan.” “It’s common to see support for Olympians at the peak of their careers but the company just quietly stepped in and provided a means of livelihood for these sports heroes past their glory days,” added Thompson-Guevara, who swam for the country in the 1988, 1992, and 1996 Olympics. “For us, that is just like wow, who does that?” Some of the benificiaries of BAVI’s drive were Leopoldo Serantes; brothers Roel and Onyok Velasco; and Teófilo Yldefonso. Serantes was given a P100,000 allowance per month by BAVI. Though the 1988 Olympics bronze medalist met his

demise last September 1, BAVI continued to give his family what was due to their patriarch while also assisting in his funeral services. The Velasco brothers were given their own Chooks-to-Go stores while Yldefonso’s family were given monthly supplies of chicken which they can either use or re-sell. Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Eumir Marcial was also given his own Chooksto-Go store while gaining the company’s support for his professional career. Chooks-to-Go also partnered with the Special Olympics Asia Pacific, carrying out a campaign to benefit people with intellectual disabilities through sports fests and training sessions. “When the board got together to decide who will take the Arete awards for the year, when the word of livelihood came about, it was not a tough decision for us to award Bounty Agro Ventures Inc,” said Rosario, a swimmer for the Philippine team that competed in the 1972 and 1976 Games. “It was a decision that was approved by all the board members.”

After setback, Phogat finds ally in McGregor HAVING several supporters to lean on will help Ritu “The Indian Tigres” Phogat ease her disappointment after losing the ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix Championship Final to Stamp Fairtex. Surprisingly, one of them is mixed martial arts superstar Conor McGregor, who has been vocal in supporting Indian fighters in the past, and continued to do so even after Phogat’s loss at ONE: WINTER WARRIORS on Friday, 3 December. “Hard luck today Ritu Phogat! A setback for a greater comeback! Let’s go Ritu! Let’s go India! We march on!” McGregor said in his twitter account, @ TheNotoriousMMA. Phogat appreciated the support, telling the multi-time MMA World Champion that she will bounce back soon enough. “Thank you so much for your love and support @TheNotoriousMMA. It means a lot. Shall come back stronger than ever,” the Indian wrestling star replied. It was a forgettable night for Phogat, as she started off on the right foot only to drop the

submission loss. The 27-year-old managed to cut the distance between her and Stamp, effectively neutralizing the striking advantage of the former ONE Muay Thai and Kickboxing World Champion. She enjoyed a dominant position for the majority of the match, but the Thai’s surprising submission maneuvers posed problems that ultimately led to her downfall. Stamp locked in a triangle choke before transitioning to an armbar. Phogat desperately attempted to escape but was forced to tap out in the second round. The Fairtex sensation scored her second submission victory, improved her MMA record to 8-1, and clinched a title shot against “Unstoppable” Angela Lee for the ONE Women’s Atomweight World Championship. Meanwhile, the setback ended the Haryana-born phenom’s three-fight win streak. Despite the deflating defeat, Phogat showed no signs of grief. The decorated wrestling champion promises to be better than ever by coming back stronger.

EDDAH—Lewis Hamilton kept his hopes of an eighth world championship title alive with a thrilling victory in a dramatic and at times chaotic Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Sunday.

The result left the seven-time champion level on 369.5 points with title rival Max Verstappen ahead of the final race in Abu Dhabi next weekend. Hamilton was behind Verstappen for much of the 50-lap race which was stopped twice because of crashes and interrupted numerous times by the safety car and virtual safety car. But Hamilton, nursing a damaged front wing caused by a collision with Verstappen, came through late, to claim his eighth win of the season and the 103rd of his career. The title will be settled in Abu Dhabi, although if neither finishes in the points it will be Verstappen, who has nine victories, who will take the title. “I have been racing a long time but that was

incredibly tough,” said Hamilton who gained an extra point for the fastest lap. Verstappen finished second, 11.825secs behind in spite of being given a five-second penalty after colliding with the Mercedes star. He was later sanctioned by 10 seconds by the stewards although that did not impact his finishing position. “Just trying to race and this sport is more about penalties than racing,” said Verstappen. “For me this is not Formula 1, but at least the fans enjoyed it and I gave it all today, but clearly not quick enough.” Hamilton’s teammate Valtteri Bottas pipped Alpine’s Esteban Ocon on the line for third place to give Mercedes a 28-point lead in the constructors’ championship.

Jeddah first It was the first time that Jeddah had hosted a Grand Prix and the problems that the drivers, including Verstappen, had had in practice and qualifying were apparent again. It was also the first Grand Prix since the death last month of Frank Williams and was played out against a backdrop of concerns about Saudi Arabia ‘sportswashing’ their human rights record. For once Mercedes made the perfect start. Having locked out the front row, they succeeded in holding Verstappen at bay. The safety car made its first appearance on lap 10 when Mick Schumacher spun on Turn 22 and slammed his Haas into the wall. Hamilton pitted immediately to switch tyres with Bottas following a lap later while Verstappen stayed out to take the race lead. Red Bull’s gamble looked to have paid off when the race was red-flagged shortly after in order for repairs to be done on the crash barriers. AFP

PSA Forum to discuss 2 major events

Russia’s Davis Cup captain Shamil Tarpischev, Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, Aslan Karatsev, Karen Khachanov and Evgeny Donskoy celebrate with the trophy after winning the Davis Cup tennis tournament at the Madrid arena. AFP

Russia beats Croatia to win 3rd Davis Cup MADRID—Russia claimed a third Davis Cup title on Sunday after Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev both won their singles matches to defeat Croatia. Medvedev’s 7-6 (9/7), 6-2 victory over Marin Cilic came after Rublev had earlier prevailed 6-4, 7-6 (7/5) over Borna Gojo, giving Russia an unassailable 2-0 lead in Madrid. Croatia’s greatest chance would have been in the doubles with world number one pair Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic, but they always needed a surprise in the singles to take the tie to the final rubber. Instead, Medvedev and Rublev, ranked two and five in the world respectively, held their nerve to make it nine out of 10 victories for Russia’s power pair in the tournament. “I can say that for all of us it’s very important to win here. It’s still the Davis Cup,” said Medvedev in a press conference. “We still see Novak (Djokovic) playing. Rafa (Nadal) won it last time. “No matter the format, the best players in the world are happy to represent their country. It’s

Davis Cup and we are the winners of it. That’s the most important thing.” Cilic and Gojo were far from overwhelmed and, with Real Madrid’s Luka Modric supporting in the crowd, they rose to the occasion in a compelling final that in the end turned on two close tie-breaks. Russia have not won the Davis Cup since 2006 and failed to reach a single quarter-final between 2011 and 2018. But Medvedev and Rublev are the leaders of a new generation of talent that could enjoy repeat successes in the future, with Aslan Karatsev and Karen Khachanov also ranked in the top 30. Victory for the men also completes a Russian onetwo after the women’s team won the Billie Jean King Cup in Prague last month. The last country to do the double was the Czech Republic in 2012. Croatia were no strangers to this stage, this their third Davis Cup final in five years after their 2016 defeat to Argentina and 2018 victory over France. But Russia were firm favourites and it was always going to take something special either from Cilic, the 33-year-old former US Open champion, or Gojo, who is ranked 279th in the world. Cilic had chances in the first set, including a break point on Medvedev’s second serve at 4-3 but an aggressive backhand return hit the tape and instead it went to a tie-break. They changed over with Cilic up 4-2 after a Medvedev forehand skimmed wide but Medvedev won four out of the next five points to create a set point on the Cilic serve. Cilic saved it with a courageous smash only to send a forehand approach just out to give Medvedev a second chance, which he spurned with a double fault. A big serve down the middle though gave Medvedev 8-7 and this time Cilic caved, a backhand going awry to hand away the set. AFP

TWO more coming major sporting events will be up for discussion in the online session of the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum on Tuesday.

Erik Santos longs for warmth and company

Pop balladeer Erik Santos

WE INTENTIONALLY teased Erik Santos on whom he was singing the song “Paskong Kayakap Ka” to. The song is a wistful Christmas single that he released last week during a hybrid event held at the Academy of Rock. The music video was also unveiled. “I kind of expected that

question,” the singer, who admitted that he’s very much single, said while laughing. In the song, the pop balladeer who turned 39 last month, vocalizes the longing for the warmth and company of loved ones. It expresses one’s desire to be with the special people in his life to make the Christmas celebration more special. It is accompanied by a soft piano instrumental that sets the song’s nostalgic mood “Due to the pandemic, maraming tao tayong nami-miss, people that we wanted to hug

and be with. But if you’re asking me if I have someone special to hug this Christmas, just my family,” he said. “If you’re going deep into the message, akmang akma naman para sa lahat. I think everyone can relate to the song,” the ASAP Natin ‘To mainstay added. “Paskong Kayakap Ka” was written and composed by ABS-CBN Music creative director Jonathan Manalo. “I asked Jonathan to write this song for me in October. And in just three days, he was able to

get back to me to inform me that he’s able to come up with a song fit for Christmas that can also capture our longing to be with someone since we’ve become so much apart because of the pandemic,” Santos recalled. Manalo shared that he got inspired when the singer called him requesting another song. “We had previously worked together for a Christmas song so working again with him really inspired me, and I wish people who will listen to the song would get the message that we wanted to send across,” Manalo said.

Pia Arcangel won “Female News Personality of the Year.”

“About the meaning of the song…all of us have wishes, mostly material things. But because of the pandemic, we could hardly do even the simplest things like hugging or being with our loved ones.

That’s the message that song wanted to convey,” Manalo further said. “Paskong Kayakap Ka” is out now on ABS-CBN Star Music’s YouTube channel and on various digital music platforms.

Andrea Brillantes content with ‘special friend’ Seth Fedelin IN A recent media conference, teen actress Andrea Brillantes said that she doesn’t mind getting tired with her successive projects. After her latest soap opera Huwag Kang Mangamba wrapped up, she has two follow-up programs right away which can be seen in the streami n g service iQiyi.

Andrea stars opposite her perennial screen partner Seth Fedelin in Saying Goodbye and Lyric and Beat. “Actually, I like it better when I’m tired because of work rather than rest resting,” Andrea averred. “Being a breadwinner, my family depends on me. One more thing, I have so many dreams since I was young. I want to fulfill them. As of now, I have lots of goals to realize. I’m the type who never gives up regardless of the stumbling blocks I face. Even if the road is bumpy, I still proceed just to make my dreams come true. I don’t know how to stop especially since I still have a long list of goals to fulfill.” Does she have a time frame for accomplishing her cherished dreams in life? “Perhaps, in the next ten years, I will be focused on my job in the ‘biz in order to realize them.” Where does this leave her love life? “I think I’m good at multitasking! Ha-ha-ha! But seriously aside, I already have a special friend Andrea Brillantes in the person of Seth. and Seth Fedelin I guess everybody

knows that. I’m already contented with his company. I don’t think I’ll have suitors. I’m kind of an introvert. I don’t roam a lot in various places. In fact, many boys find me intimidating. Personally, I’m not looking for a boyfriend at this point,” she said. “I’m already okay with my friendship with Seth. I’m happy that we get to work on many projects. Because of that, we spend lots of time together. I’m glad that he is supportive of me.” Now, she treats Seth as a special friend. Many are curious if it will lead to something deeper eventually. “Maybe…yes,” she retorted laughing. “Seth will be turning twenty next year while I’ll be 19. As of now, we’re just enjoying what we have. We just enjoy the time the Lord gives us like the moments we spend in doing our projects.” “We really enjoy each other’s company. I’ve made it clear that he’s the one whom I like to work with and vice-versa. We’re just taking our time, so to speak considering that we’re still young,” Andrea ended.

Hannah’s ‘Portal’ is set in an imaginary kingdom in a virtual space.

Ex-beauty queen animates metaphor for the pandemic A MULTIMEDIA artist and a former Binibining Pilipinas winner, inspired by “the isolation, danger, and anxieties we face during the pandemic,” has channeled her art into an animation for an online project. Set in an imaginary kingdom in a virtual space, Hannah Ruth Sison’s Portal focuses on “a space that we also share and travel to everyday.” It is one of the artworks featured in To Differ, Digitally 2: Love and Dissent in the Time of Pandemic, a digital art exhibition initiated by the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde Center for Campus Art in collaboration with the DLS-CSB New Media Cluster faculty. Sison, who has been teaching MMA as a parttime faculty at Benilde since 2010, intended Portal to be an allegory.

“Media has been our mirror to the outside world – seeing the atrocities, being jealous of those who have it better, seeing deaths, but at the same time, it is also our portal and space to be together with loved ones and our last time to be with those who depart. It is also a portal to learn from each other and reach out to people,” she explained. Like many Filipinos, her family has also been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, so working on the project felt very personal to her. “Challenging because of time, energy, and some limitations in knowledge, yet learning never stops,” the freelance multimedia artist stressed. Sison lost one of her best friends, Mark Mijares, who is also her brother-in-law and co-faculty at Benilde. She dedicates her project to the victims of the pandemic as well as those who had to go through these hardships. She is grateful to CCA led by Architect Gerry Torres, TDD2 co-curator Karen Ocampo Flores, and NMC headed by Associate Dean Maria Sharon Mapa Arriola for making “Portal” possible via TDD2.

Marian Rivera

Screen star Marian Rivera

to wear Francis Libiran in Miss Universe finals By Nickie Wang

Despite the daunting role, Marian feels honored and grateful for being handpicked to be part of Miss Universe judging committee.

ISS Universe pageant is not just a beauty competition, it’s also a fashion event, which is why queries about the dress Marian Rivera is going to wear on finals night also get so much attention.

T h e 37-ye a rold actress, known for portraying memorable characters on TV and the big screen, has been handpicked by the Miss Universe Organization to sit on the judging panel for

this year’s edition of the pageant. She will be joined by Miss Universe 2016 Iris Mittenaere, Coco Rocha, Tali Eshkoli, Lyrica Okano, Daniel Rubino, and Filipino-American makeup vlogger Patrick Starrr. Prior to her flight to Israel, where the annual beauty contest is currently happening, Rivera met with the local press in a virtual junket to share the good news. “I’m going to wear Francis Libiran on the finals night,” the actress proudly beamed after sharing that she and her team are trying to fit all her cocktail dresses in nine luggage bags. “I’m going to have a very busy schedule according to Miss Universe Organization. From meeting the candidates to pre-pageant events, I would have to dress up that’s why I’m bringing a glam team with me,” she added. Rivera knew she would be filling in a most daunting role, but she felt “honored” and “grateful” to

be given the prestigious opportunity. “When Marian said yes, she was vetted by the Miss Universe Organization. They saw her massive social media presence and everything. They were the ones who approached us and asked how they could reach Miss Marian,” Rivera’s management said during the virtual press conference. Even before the seven-member judging committee of the 70th Miss Universe was officially revealed, rabid pageant fans and critics were already questioning Rivera’s credentials as a judge. “I will admit that English is not my first language but Filipino, and yet they still chose me, maybe not just because of that, but also because of my body of work as a Filipina. I can just say I’m not a pretentious person. I’ll express myself based on how I feel on that day,” she told the press in vernacular. She also said that being part of the Miss Universe selection committee is a good opportunity she would not want

to miss. “This is a great honor. If you ask me if it would be difficult for me to leave my kids behind, of course, it would be hard but I believe, someday, they would understand this sacrifice I’m doing,” she said. “We don’t often get the chance to be a part of a special occasion where the whole world will be present, and you get to represent the Philippines. It’s a big honor for me, and that’s why I wholeheartedly accepted the offer,” she carried on. Rivera is not the first Filipino to take on the role of Miss Universe judge. In 2017, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach was chosen as a judge while Broadway star Lea Salonga was part of the panel of judges in Miss Universe 2011. The 70th Miss Universe pageant will be held in Israel on Dec. 12. The Philippines’ delegate to the pageant, Beatrice Luigi Gomez, vies for the fifth Miss Universe crown of the country.
