Sinovac cleared for test trials FDA okays two other drug firms, full rollout hinges on pilot run results By Willie Casas, Macon Ramos-Araneta, and Vito Barcelo

HE Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the application of Chinese drug manufacturer Sinovac to conduct clinical trials of its COVID-19 vaccine in the Philippines. In a press briefing Tuesday, FDA director general Eric Domingo said all of the companies that applied for clinical trials, including Sinovac, have been approved. These include Janssen of Johnson & Johnson, a US firm, and Clover Biopharmaceuticals, another Chinese company. In October 2020, the Department of Science and Technology’s Vaccine Expert Panel cleared Sinovac for clinical trials, elevating the process to the Ethics Board and the FDA. At the same briefing, Domingo said China’s donation of 500,000 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine would not affect the FDA’s assessment of vaccine candidates from Chinese drug companies. The FDA is evaluating the applications of pharmaceutical firms for clinical trial and emergency use authority (EUA) for their respective COVID-19 vaccine products. During a visit to Manila over the weekend, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Beijing intends to donate half a million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine to the Philippines. Senator Francis Pangilinan said while he appreciated the gesture, the donation should not pressure the FDA and the Health Technology Assessment Council to approve the use of Chinese vaccines.

• Duterte ready to take first jab • More minors may venture out By Vito Barcelo, Othel V. Campos and Willie Casas PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte is willing to take the vaccine jab once it is available but his vaccination will not be held in public as part of the government’s mass vaccination program and to convince the people of the safety of the vaccines, Malacanang said Tuesday. Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said the President preferred to follow the British monarchs who were vaccinated in private.

He said Duterte had agreed to receive the first shots of COVID-19 vaccine in the Philippines to inspire public confidence was completely up to him. “I will take the vaccine as soon as it is available’ because he said he needs to get vaccinated,” Roque said during a televised press briefing. “The President does not have to be shown in public. He is taking the route of the British sovereign because of the decision of Queen Elizabeth and her husband to keep their vaccination in private,” he said. Next page

S. African variant more contagious, not more deadly A NEW variant of the coronavirus first identified in South Africa is more contagious than earlier versions, experts said on Tuesday, but there is no evidence that it is more deadly. The new variant is 50 percent more contagious, said epidemiologist Professor Salim Abdool Karim, co-chair of the South African health ministry's scientific committee from Johannesburg. "There is no evidence the new COVID variant is more severe than the original variant," he added. The experts drew their conclusions about the variant—now the dominant strain in South Africa—from an analysis of data collected from the main infection clusters across the country. With more than 1.3 million people infected, South Africa has recorded more cases than any other country on the continent and has also suffered more deaths, with 37,105 registered. The second wave of the virus has stretched South Africa's health system to its limits. Dr Waasila Jassat, another member of the expert panel, said that even though admissions were up, the death rate from the virus in hospitals had not changed from the first wave of the virus. It was the discovery by South African experts of the new variant—known as 510Y.V2—that convinced the authorities to introduce new restrictions in December to slow its spread. "The world has underestimated this virus," said another panel member, virologist Professor Alex Sigal, adding that it was evolving and adapting to humans. Next page

‘Franchises must pay taxes first’ “It’s a fad now to have these kinds of shows but yet abandoning their duty to the government. So there will be no opening. I assure you, all franchises will not be implemented. I will not implement them until they settle their full accounts with

the government,” Duterte said during a meeting with select Cabinet officials. Companies can have “a thousand franchises” but they won’t see the light of day “until you come to the government with clean hands,” he said.

While Duterte did not identify which company he was referring to, he made the announcement after Batangas 6th District Rep. Vilma Santos-Recto filed a bill seeking the renewal of the ABS-CBN franchise for 25 years. The franchise issue is not a personal thing to him, President Duterte said, adding, however, that as the chief executive, he has a duty to ensure that laws are followed especially with firms paying their dues. And before opening, the President said he wants to have a “very short serious talk” with companies. “Do not compel me to do something which is not lawful. Just because you give

Sinovac...

of Sinovac’s vaccine was “not a done deal.” Roque said the Philippines already had a binding agreement to buy the Chinese vaccines. Domingo said if the first shipment of Sinovac vaccines arrive before it is issued an EUA, they cannot be used. “Their EUA really depends on how fast they can relay their data,” Domingo said in Filipino. So far, only Pfizer has received an EUA from the Philippines. The American company submitted their documents before Christmas and got the approval three weeks later. While Pfizer has already been listed for emergency use by the World Health Organization and has received approval from the United States and the United Kingdom, Sinovac has yet to receive an EUA from a so-called mature regulatory authority. Domingo also said any EUA may be revised or revoked if a vaccine is later found to have adverse effects. His remark was in response to a question about Norway’s report that 33 elderly people who were given the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine later died. Norway’s Institute of Public Health and other experts have said it is important to note that the patients were of advanced age and had serious illnesses and that the mortality rate in this group was high. “At any time, an EUA can be revoked.

This is not a registration. Anytime we get new data such as the one about allergies or the elderly, we can always incorporate it in the EUA and revise conditions for use,” Domingo said. The Pfizer EUA already has a warning against its use by those with severe allergies to vaccines. Domingo said an advisory on the elderly may be added if it is proven that the vaccine was linked to the deaths in Norway. “What will happen is that we’ll be very careful with the very elderly, especially those more than 85 or 90 years old and very frail and those with many illnesses,” he said. Domingo said they are coordinating with Pfizer so they can update the protocol once they learn more about what happened in Norway. Also on Tuesday, the Palace said the country will secure at least 20 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines from Moderna Inc. Roque said the vaccine procurement from Moderna will boost the country’s supply deals to purchase 72 million doses from Novavax, Sinovac, and AstraZeneca. The government has so far secured 30 million vaccine doses developed by Novovax and the Serum Institute of India, 25 million doses from China’s Sinovac, and 17 million from the UK-based AstraZeneca. In other developments: • Testing czar Vince Dison of the Na-

tional Task Force on COVID-19 said the government is negotiating with private companies for cold chain facilities for storing COVID-19 vaccines that need to be kept in ultra-low temperatures. • Senate President Pro Tempore Ralph Recto welcomed the proposal to set up an indemnification fund for Filipinos who may be harmed by COVID-19 vaccines, but stressed that “the focus should be on strengthening emergency response to the very, very few who may suffer side effects.” “Insurance is good. But immediate medical intervention is better,” Recto said. • Senate President Vicente Sotto III said President Rodrigo Duterte was being fed the wrong information about the senators’ choice of vaccine, saying they did not favor any particular brand or manufacturer. Duterte on Monday night taunted senators for favoring Pfizer, saying that people have died after taking it in Norway, and that he would order enough doses for the senators, if that is what they wanted. • Senator Christopher Go asked Filipinos to trust the national government when it comes to the procurement and subsequent rollout of sufficient, safe, and effective vaccines against COVID-19 across the country. He also renewed his earlier request to Galvez to further explain to the public the national vaccine roadmap to overcome public reluctance and build vaccine confidence.

against onerous provisions in the contracts, including the Department of Finance and the international banks that would provide loans for the vaccine procurement. Galvez earlier said the country will buy 148 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech, Sinovac, AstraZeneca, Novovax, Johnson and Johnson, Gamaleya and Bharat BioTech. In a privilege speech Monday, Senator Panfilo Lacson said differences in the quoted prices for Sinovac cast doubts on the procurement process and raised suspicions of corruption. Lacson said the DOH originally quoted $19 for a dose of Sinovac’s vaccine, much higher than $5 reported in Thailand. But on Monday night, President Rodrigo Duterte said non-disclosure agreements were “always included” in preliminary contracts with pharmaceutical companies. In a pre-recorded address, Duterte said an NDA typically protects medical trade

secrets, special prices given to a particular country and the timeline of the vaccine. “Every negotiation would be another agreement. It does not involve money. But one thing is certain: you cannot divulge the contract price agreed upon,” he said. Duterte said signing an NDA is a “practice of the industry” since many countries are scrambling to buy COVID-19 vaccines. “They cannot reveal the price because some countries will be at the losing end,” he said in a mix of English and Filipino. He also challenged “doubting Thomases” to handle the vaccine procurement instead, saying the government would even hand them their plans. Duterte said the vaccine supply agreements would be final only after he and Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez have reviewed and approved the proposals. The President also ordered Galvez to ignore congressional investigations and proceed with the government’s vaccine

procurement plan. “Now I’m telling General Galvez just follow your game plan,” he said. “Never mind the investigation because we will encounter delays once the vaccine arrives.” Lacson on Tuesday asked government officials how long the pricing would remain confidential. "Okay, fine, if you don’t want to divulge [the prices]. But the question is up to what point could they hold on or not disclose the prices of the vaccines?" Lacson said on ANC's Headstart. He said the public must know because the vaccines are being bought with public funds. He said the controversy over Sinovac should be a hard lesson on honesty and transparency for officials in the program. "Had the officials been forthright about the conditions of negotiations with Sinovac early on, there would have been no speculations or suspicions about the matter," he said.

at nursing homes in Norway, so it's not given that this represents any excess mortality or that they are related to the vaccines," Stoltenberg said. Meanwhile, the Philippine Food and Drug Administration is eyeing an advisory on the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine following the deaths in Norway. The Philippines earlier granted emergency use authorization to Pfizer, which will remain but there might be a "revision and advisory" against its use on "very old and very frail" individuals, FDA director general Eric Domingo told ABS-CBN's Teleradyo. "It seems what happened in Norway was that people of advanced age and those who were very frail were vaccinated. Some were terminally ill. They were in a nursing home,” he said. Norway has stressed that doctors should individually consider whether patients who are frail or terminally ill should receive the vaccine, as is also recommended in some other countries.

Emerging Infectious Diseases is looking to ease further age restrictions on human mobility to allow outside movement to minors of 10 years to 14 years old to spur retail activity. Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez said there had not been a formal proposal yet but the IATF was carefully assessing if kids below 15 years old to as young as 10 years old could go out with family on a spending binge. “This is just an opinion. There is no proposal yet and we are not rushing to have this imposed,” he said Tuesday. The Department of Trade and Industry assumed that about 30 to 50 percent of consumption expenditure while on a dayout was brought about by consumption of a complete family especially families with children in tow. Lopez said the new COVID-19 strain may also affect the various considerations the national government plans to implement to bring back the economy to what it was pre-COVID-19 times, “that’s why we advise businesses and other sectors to continue to reopen gradually and safely.”

When Biden takes the oath of office at noon on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila), he will face a city under the protection of more than 20,000 National Guard soldiers. Checkpoints and large zones closed to ordinary citizens mean there will be only a smattering of guests. Similar lockdowns have been imposed at state capitol buildings around the country where local authorities fear provocations from rightwing groups ahead of the inauguration. The acting defense secretary said that the military and FBI was vetting the National Guard troopers, who carry automatic weapons, in case any of them posed a threat. "While we have no intelligence indicating an insider threat, we are leaving no stone unturned in securing the capital," the official, Christopher Miller, said. AFP

"Science and the data and results of clinical trials should be the sole basis and not 'political goodwill'," he said. Asked if his agency is being pressured due to the large donation of vaccines by China, Domingo said, “No, because the donation and the EUA are not related.” Domingo said companies can donate vaccines approved for use by another country, and these can be accepted by the Department of Health upon the FDA’s approval. However, for vaccines procured by the government, an EUA is required, and they can only be released once the whole process is completed. Under the Bayanihan Act, the government can accept donations of drugs, he said. “Of course, it should be used under the supervision of the Department of Health,” he said. “But it’ll be their decision if they will receive and use it.” Domingo said Sinovac has promised to submit all its requirements—including the interim results of its Phase III trials and a copy of the EUA that China had granted it — for its local EUA application. On Monday, Palace spokesman Harry Roque contradicted the government’s own vaccine czar, Carlito Galvez Jr., who said the decision to buy 25 million doses

said: "'Di ko alam anong paraan but mag-uusap yata sila ni SP (I don't know how they'll talk, but Galvez and Sotto will talk)." This developed as Galvez warned Tuesday that the country could lose the opportunity to buy 148 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines if the prices of these vaccines are disclosed at this point. “There is no corruption in our negotiations,” said Secretary Carlito Galvez, speaking in Filipino. “The price of the vaccines we are buying are covered by confidentiality disclosure agreements, so we cannot make this public. We could lose 148 million doses we are negotiating to buy from the vaccine companies if we violate these agreements.” Galvez said there were safeguards

This developed as Norway said Monday no link had been established between Pfizer-BioNTech's Covid-19 vaccine and post-vaccination deaths in the country, but recommended doctors consider the overall health of the frailest before giving them the jab. Since the start of Norway's vaccination campaign at the end of December, the country has registered 33 deaths among elderly people who have received their first dose, according to public health authorities. Of the 13 cases analysed in detail so far, "they are people of advanced age, are frail and have serious illnesses, all of them," the director of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health Camilla Stoltenberg told reporters.

his inauguration ceremony at noon on Wednesday —are running up against the hard reality of multiple crises. Covid-19 is out of control, vaccine distribution is stumbling, and economic recovery remains in the balance. The United States' rocky transition of power was underlined Monday when Biden's spokeswoman quickly dismissed Trump's announcement that a Covid-19 ban on travelers arriving from much of Europe and Brazil would be lifted later this month. Trump had refused for more than two months to accept the results of November's presidential election, and the country is seething with division and anger.

The President earlier said he was willing to be the first one to be injected with the coronavirus vaccine to prove its efficacy and safety. Roque said the Palace would announce the President’s vaccination once it had been completed. Even as the government steps up the vaccine procurement, a recent survey showed that almost half of Filipino respondents are not willing to get vaccinated due to safety concerns. The government intends to secure 148 million doses of vaccines from various suppliers to administer to 70 million Filipinos in a bid to achieve herd immunity. The first batch of the vaccine supplies is scheduled to be delivered to the country next month.

them a franchise, it does not follow that all of their misdeeds in the past are condoned and forgiven,” he added. Duterte’s call for a company to settle its tax obligations applies to ABS-CBN Corp. and other firms that need a legislative franchise to operate, Malacañang said Tuesday. “I guess it is a safe conclusion it is also applicable to ABS-CBN but it applies to all those who want a franchise,” Duterte’s spokesperson Harry Roque said at a news conference. In February last year, the Bureau of Internal Revenue said ABS-CBN had no outstanding tax liabilities.

Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump released a farewell message Monday as she prepares to leave the White House, saying that "violence is never the answer," weeks after the president's supporters stormed the US Capitol. In a formal, six-minute speech recorded on video, she made only a fleeting reference to her husband as she paid tribute to military families, pandemic health workers and those helping victims of opioid abuse. "The past four years have been unforgettable," the First Lady said. "As Donald and I conclude our time in the White House, I think of all of the people I have taken home in my heart and their incredible stories of love, patriotism and determination." "Be passionate in everything you do. But always remember that violence is never the answer, and will never be justified," she said. AFP

Now is best time for Cha-cha talk, Rodriguez says By Maricel V. Cruz A CHARTER Change proponent in the House of Representatives on Tuesday opposed the call of Sen. Franklin Drilon for the House of Representatives to postpone its economic Cha-cha (Charter change) push to the latter part of 2022. “I welcome Senator Drilon’s openness to economic reform in the Constitution, but I am against his suggestion that we delay working on it by almost two years,” Deputy Speaker Rufus Rodriguez, the representative of Cagayan de Oro’s second district, said in a statement. “I believe that this year is the best time to approve the proposal of Speaker Lord Allan Velasco for the addition of the phrase ‘unless otherwise provided by law’ in the Charter’s restrictive economic provisions,” he said. This means that the present limitations will remain but Congress would have the power to alter them to allow for more foreign investor participation in business if the country’s economic situation warrants it, Rodriguez said. Rodriguez stressed should the House and the Senate approve the Speaker’s proposal and voters ratify it in a plebiscite to be conducted simultaneously with the May 2022 elections, Congress would already have the power in the latter part of next year to change the restrictions to attract more foreign investments.

Gov't may raise suggested prices of farm goods AGRICULTURE officials said Tuesday the government may raise the suggested retail price (SRP) of agricultural goods after recent storms and the African swine fever (ASF) reduced production and caused a spike in prices. Department of Agriculture spokesman Noel Reyes said Secretary William Dar has ordered the task force monitoring the prices of agriculture commodities to undertake the SRP review. In November, the department issued SRP for basic agriculture commodities sold in Metro Manila wet markets to allow retailers “a reasonable profit.” But prices for goods such as pork and vegetables rose sharply after that. DA monitoring as of Jan. 18 shows that prevailing prices of vegetables in Metro Manila, per kilogram, are: cabbage at P200; carrots at P120; habichuelas or Baguio beans at P80; white potato at P120; pechay Baguio at P150; and sayote at P40. Prices of pork ham were reported at P360 per kilogram against the SRP of P260 per kilogram, and pork belly at P400 per kilogram against the SRP of P290 per kilogram. Othel Campos and Vito Barcelo

could unilaterally scrap the more than 31-year-old agreement with UP without consultation with its officials. The DND-UP Agreement signed on June 30, 1989 prohibits the military and the police from entering all UP campuses without prior notice from its administration. "Of course. We no longer want the agreement. We have determined that it doesn’t serve the interest of the students," Lorenzana said. The agency decided to terminate the agreement effective Jan. 15, 2021, with Lorenzana calling the arrangement "obsolete." But UP raised alarms over the repeal of the agreement signed by then-UP president Jose Abueva and at the time defense chief Fidel Ramos. Its president, Dr. Danilo Concepcion, called on Lorenzana to revoke the unilateral abrogation of the agreement. Vice President Leni Robredo led other government officials and prominent personalities in denouncing the move, saying the unilateral scrapping of the decadesold Accord was sending the message “that under this administration, anyone, anywhere, at any time, is fair game.” In a statement, Robredo said: “If this was simply about law enforcement, all the Accord asks is that military authorities give notice to University officials before any operations in UP. This is neither a difficult nor onerous rule, and five Presidents since 1989 have managed to protect both the UP community and the Republic without breaking it. “Clearly, then, this is not a practical gesture, but a symbolic one. One designed to sow fear. One designed to discourage dissent. One designed to silence criticism,” Robredo said. Former Vice President Jejomar Binay himself said the Defense department made a mistake when it terminated its agreement with UP to keep military forces away from the campuses of the state university.

Duterte assures Drafters of Philippine Constitutions honored kin of soldiers By Maricel V. Cruz

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte on Monday night cited the bravery of the soldiers who died in a helicopter crash in Bukidnon over the weekend and promised not to abandon their families. In a pre-recorded speech, Duterte said he wanted to personally go to Bukidnon to pay his respects but learned that the soldiers’ remains had already been brought to their families. “They are still in the camp. But then their remains were already brought home to their families, so I decided to forgo the trip,” he said. Senate Majority Leader Migz Zubiri said the Senate was willing to help in the AFP’s aircraft modernization following the recent accidents involving military aircraft. In a privilege speech delivered on the floor on Tuesday afternoon, Zubiri said they were ready to listen to the military for what they needed, what comfortable level of budget they needed for 2022 and in the succeeding years to sustain their efforts in modernizing. Duterte was saddened by the troops’ death but recognized them for their heroism and vowed to posthumously confer on them the Order of Lapu-Lapu, a national order of merit given to officials and personnel of the government and private individuals in recognition of invaluable or extraordinary service. “Let me express my deepest condolences sa mga asawa ninyo. And I share your grief. Alam ko kung gaano na lang ganoon ang sakripisyo ng sundalo para sa bayan nila. They died heroes. And we are giving them one of the highest awards: he Order of Lapu-Lapu,” Duterte said.

House approves Seafarers’ bill A BILL promoting a Magna Carta of Filipino seafarers hurdled third reading at the House of Representatives on Monday. During the plenary session, a total of 217 lawmakers voted to approve House Bill 8057, which aims to improve Filipino seafarers’ working conditions, terms of employment and career prospects and provide opportunities to harness their potentials to the fullest. No one voted against it or abstained from voting. The bill covers Filipino seafarers engaged, employed or working in any capacity onboard Philippine-registered ships operating domestically or internationally and those on board foreign-registered ships. The ships not covered include warships and naval auxiliaries, government ships not engaged in commercial operations, ships of traditional build and fishing vessels. The bill provides for the protection of the Filipino seafarers’rights to just terms and conditions of work and a safe and secure workplace that complies with safety standards; self-organization and engage in collective bargaining; educational advancement and training at reasonable and affordable costs; relevant information; free legal consultation and have access to communication facilities. It mandates the ship owner or manning agency to have the primary responsibility to immediately repatriate seafarers and to advance the repatriation and other attendant costs, including plane fare, deployment cost, without a prior determination of the cost of the termination of the seafarer’s employment.

THE House of Representatives has adopted a resolution honoring the drafters of the Philippine Constitutions and commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1971 Constitutional Convention. House Majority Leader and Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez said “the drafters of our 1935, 1973s and 1987 Constitutions deserve the highest recognition for their essential role in transforming the political, economic and social milieus of our country.”

In adopting House Resolution 1478, Romualdez said “these illustrious names,” referring to the drafters of the Constitution, “should be remembered by everyone for the unique and genuine service they rendered to the nation. They represented the Filipino people and though their wisdom, the collective agreement of our aspirations as a nation was established. “This resolution also commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 1971 Constitutional Convention on June 1, 2021. Without the 1971 Con-con that revised

the 1935 Constitution, as well as the other bodies formed to revise our constitutions, the foundation of our aims as a Filipino nation would not have been realized,” added Romualdez, a lawyer and president of the Philippine Constitution Association. “These great men and women charted our future by giving credence to our roots.” According to Romualdez, principal author of HR 1478, the 1971 Con-con was headed successively by two former Presidents: Carlos P. Garcia and Diosdado Macapagal.

In a pre-recorded address, Duterte read out the names of 89 barangay captains who were “preventively suspended” for six months by the Office of the Ombudsman because of anomalies in the distribution of the government’s social amelioration program funds. He urged the Ombudsman to dismiss those officials from the service if proven guilty. “At the end of the investigation, if you are good, then you are exonerated. But if you are guilty, I am most respectfully requesting the Ombudsman to dismiss them from the service,” Duterte said. He said the misuse of public funds was a “very serious” offense. “I warned you from the very beginning, do not f*** with this. During the time of Covid when the government is distributing money to the poor. especially in the barangay level don’t do it,” he said. If proven guilty, he said, dishonest officials would no longer be allowed to run for public office. “You know what hurts? When they are finally dismissed, the dismissal will always be accompanied by a statement that you are no longer eligible for public office. That’s what hurts. You can’t run for office even as a water boy in your barangay,” he said. Duterte, in his past speeches, urged the public to report local officials stealing emergency subsidies for poor families. In May 2020, he said a cash reward would be given to any person who would give information leading to the arrest of local officials involved in the corruption of funds intended for SAP recipients. Billions of pesos were allocated to fund the SAP, which granted a PHP5,000 to PHP8,000 monthly cash aid to about 18 million low-income Filipino families affected by the pandemic.

MVP: Business should do more MANUEL V. Pangilinan, head of the Philippine Business for Social Progress, has called on the business community to open more opportunities for livelihood and food production through agriculture for more people. The PBSP, now on its 50th year, has been contributing to sustainable development and poverty reduction as the largest business-led NGO at the forefront of strategic corporate citizenship and business sector leadership. It has been helping to change the lives of Filipinos. Pangilinan is the longest serving PBSP chair. PLDT Inc., the country’s largest integrated telco, of which he is president and CEO, is one of the active members since 1995. “PBSP has evolved with the changing times and the changing landscape of the donor community,” Pangilinan said. Its role has become more meaningful as it became more deeply involved in education, livelihood, health and environment, its flagship programs, he said. By focusing on poverty reduction, zero hunger and health and well-being programs, PBSP heeds the call of the United Nations to develop more sustainable solutions to societal problems. “We are committed to providing jobs and livelihood. It is key to poverty reduction,” Pangilinan said. “We are also determined to ensure consistent food production, especially during this pandemic.

Department issues advisory on labor disputes By Vito Barcelo THE Department of Labor and Employment has encouraged “kasambahay” or household workers to file labor-related complaints at the department in settling any labor dispute with their employers. Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III issued Labor Advisory 35, which spells out the procedures on the conduct of mandatory conference, issuance of compliance orders and the handling of appealed labor disputes involving kasambahay.

“The issuance supplements Labor Advisory 17, Series of 2018, which provides guidelines on handling kasambahay complaints or request for assistance through the Single Entry Approach or SeNa,” Bello said SEnA is a mechanism that provides accessible, speedy, impartial and inexpensive settlement procedure of all labor and employment issues through a 30-day mandatory conciliation-mediation. Under the guidelines, after a request for assistance has been filed by the kasam-

bahay at the DOLE Central/Regional/ Provincial/Field Offices or its Attached Agencies, a mandatory conference will be conducted by the handling officer and the issue will be resolved within 30 days from the conduct of initial proceedings. Depending on the preference and availability of the kasambahay and their employer, conferences may be done face-to-face while observing the prescribed minimum health standards and safety protocols or through digital platforms.

Busuanga farmers gain land from DAR By Rio N. Araja

GAS BLOWUP. Shards of glass are seen outside a fast food chain along España after an

explosion due to an alleged gas leak on Tuesday. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the blast. Norman Cruz

THE Department of Agrarian Reform will distribute 80 hectares of governmentowned lands, including portions of the Yulo estate in Coron, Palawan, to 102 farmer-beneficiaries in Busuanga. Agrarian Reform Secretary John Castriciones said the agency would provide free agrarian legal counsel, orientation on organizing support services and conduct Serbisyong DAR-to-Door activities between Jan. 21 and Jan. 22. The activity dubbed “Pag-anDAR sa BPR: Serbisyong may Puso, Aarangkada sa Pag- asenso ang mga Busuangeño” is a two-day event implementing DAR’s mandate of land tenure improvement, provision of necessary support services, and provision of legal services to ARBs, small-holder farm-

ers, and other farmworkers. The DAR chief said the lands to be distributed are government-owned lands, including the Busuanga Pasture Reserve or the Yulo King Ranch, to be put into good use to benefit the farmer-beneficiaries. “For many years, our farmers in this town are asking for the distribution of these lands. BPR is a good case in point, as it is a huge agricultural land that was placed under the management of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ Forest Management Bureau,” he said. With President Rodrigo Duterte’s signing into law of Executive Order No. 75 of 2019, on Feb. 1, 2019, the DAR “has quickly facilitated the process of subjecting this land under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program,” he added.

BARMM raises own banner By Nash B. Maulana

OTABATO CITY—The Wali stood side by side with the Chief Minister as he banged the gong for the ceremonial raising of the Bangsamoro Banner, alongside the Philippine Flag for the first time in two years. The Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) or Republic Act 11054 creating the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) took effect with the plebiscite ratifying it on January 21, 2019. Bangsamoro Chief Minister Ahod Balawag Al Hadj Murad Ebrahim officially

declared the anniversary activities open to public, saying: “Here we are – hoisting the Bangsamoro Flag next to the Philippine Flag for the first time ever.”. Sheikh Khalipha U. Nando, the Wali of the Bangsamoro banged the gong to signal declaration of the opening of ceremonies and activities marking the sec-

ond founding anniversary of BARMM Monday at the Bangsamoro Government Center here. A wali is an Arabic word more familiar in Malay public administration setup and is variously translated as “authority”, “custodian”, “protector”, “friend” or a “master”, and is also referred to more literally as “friend of God.” In the BARMM, the Wali, considered as the ceremonial head of the region, has specific functions and qualifications defined by law. Officials, workers, and residents witnessed the symbolic raising of the Bangsamoro Flag for the first time

since the new autonomous setup started two years ago. The Monday morning banner-hoist ceremonies officially started a series of weeklong activities, marking the second anniversary of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). BARMM succeeded the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) on February 25, 2019, corresponding to the 4th day of Jamad Al-Akhirah in the Islamic Hijrah Calendar. That date in the Hijrah Calendar corresponds to January 17 in 2021. The region uses dual-calendaring system on matters of records and official activities.

Censure Arayat over ban, QC dad urges DILG By Rio N. Araja QUEZON City Councilor Winston Castelo on Tuesday urged the Department of Interior and Local Government to censure officials of Arayat for their “unfair, discriminatory” restriction of not allowing QC residents to enter or travel through their town in Pampanga. “The restriction imposed by the Arayat local government is not only unfair and discriminatory but also unreasonable and without scientific basis,” Castelo said. “What is worse is that it prejudices not only Quezon City residents traveling to the town but their own constituents who are working in Quezon City and whose return to their hometown is restricted as well,” he added. Castelo said it is possible that “there are more Arayat workers than QC residents affected by the action taken by their own municipal government.”

FOR HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS: Pitmaster Foundation Inc. has partnered with Ospital ng Muntinlupa to extend financial assistance to indigent hemodialysis patients for their treatment. Pitmaster Foundation executive director lawyer Caroline Cruz, Ospital ng Muntinlupa director Edwin Dimatatac, and Mayor Jaime Fresnedi (from left) sign an agreement for the partnership on January 18. Fresnedi thanked the foundation for helping indigent Muntinlupeños with their hemodialysis treatments.

A SIMULATION led by Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso and Vice Mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan was held at the Universidad de Manila (UDM) on Tuesday, in preparation for the rollout of the Manila city govern-

ment’s vaccination program. At the simulation, Domagoso and Manila Health Department (MHD) Acting City Health Officer Dr. Arnold Pangan explained the step-by-step process that would be done once the vaccines finally arrive in the country and become ready to be administered to the

Manila residents. Meanwhile, Domagoso stressed that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine program of the city government is open to residents and nonresidents. “Manilans and non-Manilans, they can avail of the vaccination in Manila

Capital gains cold storage units THE city government of Manila on Monday received nine COVID-19 vaccine refrigeration units in line with the preparation for the upcoming vaccination activities in Manila. Manila Mayor Francisco ‘“Isko Moreno” Domagoso inspected the machines upon arrival at the Sta. Ana Hospital, the place where the city’s COVID-19 Vaccine Storage Facility will be built. Domagoso said the hospital received five Haier HYC-390 refrigeration units intended as storage of vaccines upon arrival, along with four biomedical freezers. According to the Domagoso, the local government is also set to receive three -86 degrees Celsius ULT Freezers from Haier which can also store vaccine vials. “The units are equipped with uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to ensure the integrity of the vaccines,”

Domagoso said. “Fifty transport coolers are also on the way for the immediate deployment once the city government’s vaccination operations begin,” he said. While vaccine doses have yet to arrive in the country, Domagoso said the procurement of the vaccine storage units is necessary so that the city government can immediately launch its vaccination activities once cleared by the national government. “In the meantime, we are preparing other facilities, our logistic capabilities, process of deployment, and future clients on top of medical frontliners and senior citizens,” Domagoso said. “What we did, in our own little way, is to buy all types of freezers and refrigerators for all types of vaccines,” he added.

By Jun David VALENZUELA City Mayor Rex Gatchalian started his birthday week with the inauguration and blessing of Pedro L. Santiago Elementary School in Barangay Paso de Blas, the newest public elementary school in the City, on Monday. In his annual birthday week tradition, Mayor Rex’ Birthday Serbisyo Activities this year stayed committed to the city’s thrust in education. Pedro L. Santiago Elementary School in Barangay Paso de Blas serves as Valenzuela City’s 69th school and its 43rd public elementary school. The school was named after Pedro L. Santiago, who hails from Paso de Blas, for his service not only with his time but also with his resources, leading to the donation of a parcel of land for the building of the school. The entire area of P. Santiago Street in Barangay Paso de Blas was owned by Pedro L. Santiago in the late 1940s. Later, the parcel of the land was donated by Pedro Santiago’s son-in-law, Felix Valenzuela, where the Paso de Blas Elementary School is located at P. Santiago Street in Barangay Paso de Blas now stands. In his speech, Mayor Rex said Valenzuela City is taking investments and getting ready for the future of the students, believing that the pandemic will not stay as permanent and students will soon be back in school for there are vaccines that are being prepared.

LGU once the vaccines arrive,” said Domagoso in a social media post. Domagoso said the purpose of the said simulation is to know exactly how to deploy the vaccines and all the possible scenario that might be involved as well as the hitches that may occur in the process and how they can be remedied. Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Z. Duterte

CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga—Central Luzon police chief BGen. Valeriano De Leon directed Tuesday all police chiefs in the region to regularly disinfect their offices to stop the spread of the coronavirus. This developed as a police officer in Minalin, Pampanga contracted COVID-19, reportedly while in the performance of duty. The lawman was quickly placed under isolation for monitoring and treatment, sources from the Provincial Police Office told Manila Standard. The last disinfection conducted at the regional police headquarters was late last year, when 18 of its personnel tested positive for COVID-19. More than a dozen policemen detailed at PPO were also isolated due to COVID-19 last year. They all recovered fully and returned to service. A total of 353 policemen In Central Luzon have contracted COVID-19 since March, with 331 quickly recovering from the coronavirus illness.

Rep. Duterte eyes tablets, smartphones for pupils DAVAO CITY—Davao City First District Rep. Paolo Z. Duterte is planning to donate tablets or smartphones to students in line with the ongoing distance learning amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Duterte, in a press conference here on Monday, said his office is still looking for a supplier who can provide affordable good quality tablets or cellular phones, as these will be heavily used for online learning. The congressman said his office will

need around P18 million to purchase the tablets and smart phones. He added that the amount is quite big, and so he is hoping there are friends who could help his office in providing the needs of the less fortunate.

Countries step up vaccination campaigns

Egypt, UAE direct flights to Qatar reopens THE first direct flights since 2017 between Qatar and its former rivals Egypt and the UAE took to the skies on Monday, following the end of a regional crisis. Egypt and the United Arab Emirates oined Saudi Arabia and Bahrain in cutting ties with Qatar in June 2017, accusing it of being too close to Iran and of backing Islamic extremists, charges Doha denies. The quartet agreed to heal the rift at a Gulf summit on January 5 in Saudi Arabia, after a flurry of diplomatic activity by outgoing US

President Donald Trump’s administration. The first commercial flight from Qatar to Egypt in three and a half years, an EgyptAir service to Cairo, took off from windswept Doha airport. It was followed shortly after by the arrival of an Air Arabia flight from Sharjah in the UAE. The resumption of flights from Doha to Cairo will simplify travel for the large contingent of Egyptians living in Qatar. AFP

OUNTRIES around the world stepped up their coronavirus vaccine campaigns Monday, with Russia offering jabs to all citizens, while an independent probe found fault with the early response to the pandemic. Both the World Health Organization Preparedness and Response concluded in and Beijing could have acted faster when a report. Covid-19 first surfaced in China a year It added that countries where the virus ago, the Independent Panel for Pandemic was likely to spread should have put con-

16. The rate impact simulation shows that if this Joint Application is granted a Provisional Authority or Interim Relief, CEDC’s captive customers would enjoy a reduction in power generation rates by as much as PhP0.2479/kWh. This can greatly help the investor-locators in the Clark Special Economic Zone sustain their operations in the Philippines and be more competitive in the global market.

Republic of the Philippines ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION San Miguel Avenue, Pasig City IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE POWER SUPPLY AGREEMENT BETWEEN CLARK ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION CORPORATION AND STRATEGIC POWER DEVT CORP. WITH PRAYER FOR PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY OR INTERIM RELIEF AND CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT OF INFORMATION ERC CASE NO. 2020-045 RC CLARK ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION CORPORATION (CEDC) AND STRATEGIC POWER DEVT CORP. (SPDC), Applicants.

NOTICE OF VIRTUAL HEARING TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES: Notice is hereby given that on 29 December 2020, Clark Electric Distribution Corporation (CEDC) and Strategic Power Development Corp. (SPDC) filed a Joint Application dated 28 October 2020, seeking the Commission’s approval of their Power Supply Agreement (PSA), with prayer for provisional authority or interim relief and motion for confidential treatment of information.

CEDC was franchised by the Clark Development Corporation (CDC) to construct, own, operate and maintain a power distribution system within the Clark Special Economic Zone. It is represented herein by its President and Chief Executive Office, Redel M. Domingo.

A A-1 B-1 B-2 C-1 C-2 D-1 D-2 E

SPDC is the Independent Power Producer Administrator (“IPPA”) of the 345 M W San Roque Hydroelectric Power Plant in Barangay San Roque, San Manuel, Pangasinan (the “Plant”) by virtue of an IPP Administration Agreement it executed with the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation (“PSALM”). CEDC and SPDC can be served with summons, orders, correspondence, and other processes by the Honorable Commission through the respective addresses of their counsels as stated below.

This Joint Application1 seeks from the Honorable Commission the approval of the Power Supply Agreement (“PSA”) entered into between CEDC and SPDC and was filed pursuant to the pertinent provisions of Republic Act 9136 otherwise known as the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 (the “EPIRA Law”) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (the “IRR of EPIRA Law”) and the Honorable Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (the “ERC’s RPP”) as well as all the applicable issuances in relation thereto.

M M-1

Factual Antecedents

M-2 N

CEDC is currently sourcing its mid-merit power supply requirements from SPDC under a Power Supply Agreement, which will expire on 25 December 2020. This current PSA was provisionally approved by the Honorable Commission in its Order dated 16 December 2019 issued in ERC Case No. 2017-045 RC (Annex “L”), the dispositive portion of which is quoted below for reference:

O P Q U V

WHEREFORE, the foregoing premises considered, the Extremely Urgent Motion for Confirmation of PSA Extension filed on 10 December 2019 by Clark Electric Distribution Corporation (CEDC) and Strategic Power Development Corporation (CEDC) is hereby GRANTED, subject to the following conditions: a.

CEDC and SPDC arc authorized to implement their PSA under the same terms and conditions and in accordance with the Commission’s Order dated 18 December 2019;

The period of extension of the PSA shall only be from 26 December 2019 to 25 December 2020; and

Within one year from the approval of the said urgent motion, CEDC should conduct and conclude the required Competitive Selection Process (CSP) for its forecasted demand requirements.

W Y

AA BB CC

SO ORDERED. In compliance with the directive of the Honorable Commission, CEDC conducted a Competitive Selection Process (CSP) for the procurement of its 25 MW of mid-merit power supply requirement for a contract term of five (5) years commencing on 26 December 2020.

DD EE FF GG HH

In response to CEDC’s public invitation to bid, six (6) Generation Companies (GenCos) purchased bid documents, namely: 9.1. AC Energy Philippines Inc. 9.2. SEM-Calaca Power Corporation 9.3. GNPower Dinginin Ltd. Co. 9.4-SPDC 9.5. Therma Luzon Inc.

II JJ

9.6. Solar Philippines Power Holdings Inc. 10. The GenCos who submitted their bids were the following: GenCos who participated in the bidding: Strategic Power Development Corp. SEM-Calaca Power Corp. Therma Luzon Inc.

(6) the extent to which the information could be easily or readily obtained through an independent source.” 23. The interest of the consumers of CEDC is sufficiently protected by the review and evaluation of the rates under the PSA by the Honorable Commission, without the need to disclose the contents of Annexes “EE”, “FF” and “GG”. The reasonableness and transparency of the prices of electricity is to be assured by the Honorable Commission through its own review and verification of the foregoing documents sought to be afforded confidential treatment in the evaluation and handling thereof. One copy each of the mentioned annexes will be placed in a sealed envelop which will be tagged as “Confidential” coupled with a narrative3 for that purpose will be submitted as integral parts hereof.

0.0000 0.0000 5.1577 5.1577 0.7363

24. Lastly and corollary to the foregoing, SPDC would like to implore the discerning wisdom of the Honorable Commission to include in its issuance for this purpose the “procedures for the handling or returning the confidential information, as appropriate, upon the close of the proceedings or at the end of the period for which the information is to be treated as confidential4”.

13. Corollary to the foregoing and in support of this Application, below is a rate impact simulation of the winning bid of SPDC which shows a reduction in CEDC’s pass-through power Generation rates to its captive customers, as follows:

With Prayer for the Issuance of Provisional Authority or Interim Relief coupled with a Prayer for Confidential Treatment of Information.

a Provisional Authority or Interim Relief allowing the Joint Applicants to immediately implement the PSA subject of this case in its entirety;

an Order affording Annexes “EE”, “FF” and “GG” confidential treatment in the handling and evaluation thereof from the time these annexes are received by the Honorable Commission up to the termination of the instant case; and,

an Issuance concerning the procedures for handling the confidential information upon the close of the proceedings and its return/delivery to SPDC.

After due notice and hearing, ISSUE a Decision approving the instant Joint Application in toto which will thereby allow/authorize CEDC to charge and collect the fees from its customers reckoned from the commencement of the supply to the latter by SPDC.

Other reliefs just and equitable under the circumstances are likewise prayed for. The Commission has set the instant Joint Application for the determination of compliance with the jurisdictional requirements, expository presentation, pre-trial conference, and presentation of evidence on the following dates and online platforms for the conduct thereof, pursuant to Resolution No. 09, Series of 20205 dated 24 September 2020: (This space is intentionally left blank) Date

A trade secret is defined as a plan or process, tool, mechanism or compound known only to its owner and those of his employees to whom it is necessary to confide it. 4 The definition also extends to a secret formula or process not patented, but known only to certain individuals using it in compounding some article of trade having a commercial values. A trade secret may consist of any formula, pattern, device, or compilation of information that: (1) is used in one’s business; and (2) gives the employer an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not possess the information. 6 Generally, a trade secret is a process or device intended for continuous use in the operation of the business, for example, a machine or formula, but can be a price list or catalogue or specialized customer list. 7 It is indubitable that trade secrets constitute 2

Under the circumstances, these are trade secrets that exclusively belong to SPDC which were afforded by the prevailing jurisprudence a mantle of protection against unauthorized disclosure to third persons or other participants in the industry which will definitely compromise SPDC’s competitiveness. As echoed in the case of Air Philippines Corporation vs. Pennswell (“Pennswell Case”):

Australia told to drop news payment plan on tech giants SYDNEY—The United States has urged Australia to abandon its plan to force Google and Facebook to pay media outlets for their news content, saying there could be “long-lasting negative consequences” for consumers and companies. Australia wants to force the US tech giants to pay local media organizations for hosting news content or face millions of dollars in fines, in one of the most aggressive moves globally to check their power. It will apply to Facebook’s “News Feed” and Google searches, prompting the digital firms to threaten to limit the services they offer Australians. In a submission to an Australian Senate inquiry in the draft legislation, the Office of the US Trade Representative called it a “burdensome” plan that will “exclusively target” two American companies “without having first established a violation of existing Australian law or a market failure.” “The US government is concerned that an attempt, through legislation, to regulate the competitive positions of specific players in a fast-evolving digital market, to the clear detriment of two US firms, may result in harmful outcomes,” the submission says. “There may also be long-lasting negative consequences for US and Australian firms, as well as Australian consumers.” The submission, dated January 15, argues the plan’s mandatory arbitration process to determine compensation for news businesses is “fundamentally imbalanced” in their favor, as news production costs must be considered but not the costs incurred by digital platforms. It also says the world-first rules “could raise concerns with respect to Australia’s international trade obligations” by excluding foreign media from the compensation scheme. The US submission urges Australia to suspend its legislative push to implement the rules this year to allow for more research and if necessary embrace a voluntary code of conduct instead. “Australia should again consider promoting a voluntary code of conduct supported by, as appropriate, targeted regulations developed in an open and transparent process,” it says.

SEC CRMD No.

Petitioner. x -------------------------------------------------------x PETITION FOR REVIVAL OF CORPORATE EXISTENCE Petitioner, Amalgamated Project Management Services Inc., formerly known as Quantity Surveying Services, Inc. by undersigned counsel, unto this Honorable Commission, most respectfully states that:

Virus reveals hidden poverty in rich Japan By Hiroshi Hiyama TOKYO, Japan—Yuichiro welled up as he collected a food parcel at a Tokyo outreach event offering help to the growing number of Japanese pushed into poverty by the coronavirus pandemic. “There is no work. Absolutely none,” said the 46-year-old, until recently a construction worker, while clutching a small plastic bag of essentials on a cold winter street in the capital. “This doesn’t get reported much in the media, but many people are sleeping at train stations and in cardboard boxes. Some are dying of hunger.” The world’s third-largest economy has seen a relatively small coronavirus outbreak so far, with around 4,500 deaths and largely without the drastic lockdowns seen in other countries. With an unemployment rate below three percent and a reputation for a strong social safety net, Japan also appears well placed to weather the pandemic’s economic fallout. But campaigners say the most vulnerable have still been hit hard, with statistics masking the high rate of

underemployment and poorly paid temporary work. “The pandemic, rising joblessness and falling wages have directly hit the working poor, people who were barely getting by before,” said Ren Ohnishi, who heads the Moyai Support Centre for Independent Living, an anti-poverty group. Around 40 percent of workers are in vulnerable “non-regular” jobs with lower wages and contracts that can be terminated easily. Many also struggle to access welfare. Yuichiro, who did not give his last name to AFP, said he was sent from one government office to another before being told assistance was only for those with children. “But there are lots of adults who aren’t able to eat,” he said. ‘The rope just snapped’ More than 10 million people in Japan live on less than $19,000 a year, while one in six lives in “relative poverty” on incomes less than half the national median. Economists say that half a million Japanese lost their jobs in the past six months, and campaigners say the ripple effects are spreading across the population. AFP

HORIZON

ON WEDNESDAY, 20 January, US president-elect Joe Biden officially assumes his office, an inauguration ceremony that sitting President Donald Trump has made clear he is skipping. Trump will be the first president in a century and a half to be absent from the inauguration of his successor. In the Philippines, legislators and members of the UP community are up in arms over the cancellation of the agreement between the University of the Philippines and the Department of National Defense that prevented any military or police operations within the state university without prior notice to university officials. On the COVID-19 front, the vaccine rollout continues and Israel, world leader in the vaccination sprint which has inoculated over 2 million of the 9.7 million population, has announced a deal with Pfizer that trades medical information for continued availability of the vaccine. The deal has received both praise and criticism. Last week, the Philippines Food and Drug Administration issued emergency use approval (EUA) for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, the first approval issued in the country. The country expects its first delivery of the Pfizer vaccine within the first quarter of the year. Other vaccines with pending applications are those from AstraZeneca, Sinovac and Gamaleya. Carlito Galvez, who is on top of vaccine procurement, has also announced that supply deals have been firmed up with many other firms, including Moderna, Novavax, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson. Closer to home, I have been spending much of my personal time catching up on the animated series, Attack on Titan. Kickoff For many companies, especially those that are sales led, this last half of January is often the season for kickoffs. These events are generally meant to ensure a good beginning to the year. The typical schedule includes a review of the year just ended and a situation analysis to ground the plans for the year. When the kickoffs extend to a whole day or even a weekend, the schedule also often includes opportunities for bonding and learning. These bonding and learning activities are usually rooted in the situation analysis and related to corporate goals. This year, the pandemic kickoffs will es-

pecially be problematic. First, quarantine requirements will make it difficult to run the normal face-to-face activities. And the social activities will certainly be a challenge to pull off with the social distancing requirements. But beyond even the quarantine and social distancing imperatives, the kickoffs this year face the challenge of our current unique situation. Much of what happened in 2020 can be traced to effects of the pandemic and the quarantine response. Certainly, some of the things we learned will continue to be helpful at least in the next few months, and potentially until next year depending on how immunization for COVID-19 progresses. However, key to a successful 2021 will be the ability to respond to the changes expected from continued easing of restrictions. Compounding the expected complexity of the situation is anticipation of the 2022 national elections, which will include election for the two highest offices in the land. What all of this means is that the next two years will be years of change, and potentially great change. It seems clear that 2021 will require vigilance and the ability to respond quickly and wisely. For those who must develop corporate strategy, the challenge continues to be the determination of direction. Direction In strategy class, we always say that strategy begins with determining the goal. However, it is also clear that the goal is dependent on our reading of the future. Some trends, such as digital payments and e-commerce, are clearly here to stay and, for the most part, we ignore them at our peril. That is the easy bit. The difficulties begin with the uncertain. The facile answer is that the trick is to be flexible. Unfortunately, flexibility can mean many things, and is often expensive. Let us take one element of flexibility—volume of demand. The challenge to responding to demand involves supply and logistics. If you are a manufacturer, the ability to respond to demand variability relies on your ability to reduce or ramp up production in response to demand. But there are practical limitations to this. Factories have a maximum output potential and even when there is no production, certain fixed expenses must be met. Similar challenges face even service or trading companies. The reality is that corporate strategy is essentially about taking a position, making decisions that lay down some long-term fundamentals for the company—its business model, if you will. Some business models are more flexible than others, but every busi-

ness model takes a position on a few basic things. This is how corporate leadership provide direction for the rest of the organization. Once that direction is set, then team members can begin to set their individual goals in support of the larger goals of the organization. Goals Similar activities occur on the individual front. The first month of the year is often about a re-examining of direction and either an affirmation of the current path or a commitment to change things. At the individual level, some things seem to be obvious. Health and fitness seem like no-brainer goals. The challenge, as ever, is competition for resources. At the individual level, the resource challenge often revolves around two factors: time and money. Some decisions can be made easy. First, separate goals from activity or attention. Some goals can be accomplished through delegation or outsourcing. For example, if I want to eat healthy, I do not have to personally cook health food. However, exercise is something that requires personal time and attention. This means you can set up goals without allocating much personal time. Second, invest in being able. For corporations, this means developing core competencies and investing in key assets. For individuals, especially those in the early phases of a career, my advice has always been to focus on skills and relationships. The reality is that success, and the money and the ability to release personal time that comes with it, will most often rely on your ability to get things done. Your skills and your relationships are the assets that you bring with you as you move from company to company, whether you are an employee or an entrepreneur. Finally, make choices. At the heart of every strategy, whether corporate or individual, is choices. In corporate strategy class, we always say that choices mean trade-offs. All this means is that saying yes to some goals means that we say no to many others. In Attack on Titan, one of the characters, Armin, ruminates on a particular question each time he must make a particularly difficult choice “a person who cannot give up anything can change nothing.” That, ultimately, is what goals are about. They are about giving up the less desirable in to attain the larger goal. They are about accepting that reaching for the horizon often means giving up the familiar.

Shell PH bullish, eyes 70 new outlets By Alena Mae S. Flores

HE Shell Companies in the Philippines unveiled a plan to expand the retail network with additional 50 to 70 outlets and extend its newly-launched power business, a top executive said Monday night.

“As we continue to expand our core business, one key change that you may expect to see from Shell is a more diversified portfolio set to meet the cleaner energy needs of the country,” SCIP

chairman Cesar Romero said during a virtual media appreciation event. SCIP launched its power business under Shell Energy Philippines Inc. last year. Shell Energy filed a notice to proceed with its planned liquefied natural gas project, specifically a floating storage re-gasification unit. “You can expect bigger things from Shell Energy Philippines Inc. as its focuses on delivering cleaner, flexible and innovative energy solutions to our commercial and industrial customers,” Romero said. Romero said Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp. was also looking at opening 50 to 70 sites this year. “One of our key priorities is the continuous growth of our retail network. As

of end of December 2020, we had over a thousand retail sites nationwide, and with the increase in retail sales especially during the last quarter of the year, it is reasonable to expect an additional 50 to 70 sites to open within 2021,” he said. Romero said Pilipinas Shell was taking steps to reshape its portfolio to become more efficient. The company decided to transform its 110,000-barrelper-day refinery in Batangas into an import terminal last year. Pilipinas Shell opened the third import terminal in Subic last year which, along with the Tabangao Terminal in Batangas and the North Mindanao Import Facility in Cagayan de Oro, formed a robust supply triangle for the company. Romero said the facilities would

maximize efficiency and strengthen Pilipinas Shell’s world-class supply chain network. “We are looking to increase in the next few years as we support government’s efforts to jumpstart the economy amidst the pandemic,” he said. He said Pilipinas Shell products would continue to drive national development, from the fuels used by the construction, manufacturing, mining and transport sectors, to the bitumen products used for infrastructure. “We will continuously seek to advance our offerings and drive innovation in our systems to satisfy our customers,” Romero said. He SCIP was also focusing on being a net-zero emission energy business.

THE Office International des Epizooties, or the World Organization for Animal Health, declared the Philippines bird-flu free, the Department of Agriculture said Tuesday. OIE issued the proclamation on Jan. 8, 2021, clearing the Philippines of the remaining H5N6 strain of avian influenza, according to the Bureau of Animal Industry, an attached agency of the DA. The department said the country resolved the outbreak of AI A(H5N6) in a commercial layer poultry farm in Pampanga and backyard poultry farms in a village in Rizal in less than a year after the virus reemerged in the country.

FREE SWAB TESTS. Retired police general Aaron Aquino (seated right), president of state-run Clark International Airport Corp., and CIAC vice president for operations Irish Calaguas (seated left) wait for their turn along with other employees of CIAC to take the polymerase chain reaction tests at the agency’s corporate office building. CIAC provides free PCR testing for its 114 employees on a quarterly basis to help in curbing the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace.

“I congratulate the DA-BAI and the local governments of Pampanga and Rizal, whose swift action resulted in limiting the further spread of the AI A(H5N6) strain to other areas,” said Agriculture Secretary William Dar. The DA said in a report to the OIE the affected farms showed no further evidence of the presence of the AI virus during monitoring and surveillance. “We had not detected any case of AI A(H5N6) among the poultry and other bird population in the last 90 days after the completion of cleaning and disinfection in the affected farms, surveillance and monitoring, and completion of the 35-day restocking period with sentinel animals in Pampanga and Rizal,” said

BAI director Ronnie Domingo. The recurrence of A(H5N6) was confirmed by BAI Animal Disease Diagnosis and Reference Laboratory on July 10, 2020, after the owner of a commercial layer farm notified the Pampanga provincial veterinary office about the sudden drop in egg production, cyanosis (dark bluish or purplish coloration of the skin and mucous membranes in chickens) and mortalities. Another case was detected in Rizal, reported by a farmer on Aug. 26, 2020, to the municipal veterinary office of Taytay. The backyard farm had 500 head of free-range chicken and 300 head of Muscovy ducks. Clinical signs such as wry neck or torticollis, cyanosis of ex-

tremities and death were observed since Aug. 10, 2020. The DA said as a result of the swift action of the farm owners, sanitary control and containment operations to prevent the further spread of the virus were carried out immediately. BAI commended affected farmers for their prompt reporting that led to the early containment of the disease and poultry stakeholders and partners. The Philippines faced similar outbreaks in 2017 and 2018 but with industry-wide support was able to rid of the virus. The DA asked poultry farmers and industry stakeholders to remain vigilant and report any unusual mortalities to animal health authorities.

ICTSI says berth expansion project of Manila container terminal finished By Darwin G. Amojelar INTERNATIONAL Container Terminal Services Inc. said Tuesday it completed a berth expansion project at the flagship Manila International Container Terminal that effectively raises its annual capacity to over 3.3 million TEUs, or twenty-foot equivalent units. “The added berthing capability and yard space will enable the country to easily handle added volume that is expected as the country gears up for an economic reboot following last year’s trade flow facilitation complications,” ICTSI executive vice president Christian Gonzalez said. “Moreover, this will enable us to continue performing our tasks as front liners to move critical goods that are still badly needed,” he said. The project included a number of crucial

works including the berth expansion that adds another 150 meters to Berth 7, creating a 600-meter contiguous berth together with the adjacent Berth 6 to accommodate over 8,000-TEU capacity vessels. The two berths have five quay cranes, with a design for up to six quay cranes. The berth expansion is complemented by the extension of the container yard by about another 5.5 hectares—three hectares designated for laden containers and 2.5 hectares for empties. This redounds to added capacity for the terminal of an estimated 200,000 TEUs for laden containers and 150,000 TEUs for empties. The additional berth space was completed on time and on budget despite some limitations caused by the pandemic, with strict safety and health protocols implemented throughout the project construction and completion, according to ICTSI

The MOL Success, the first vessel to dock at the newly completed Berth 7, makes its maiden call to Manila International Container Terminal on Jan. 11. International Container Terminal Services Inc., operator of MICT, completed the berth expansion project to raise annual capacity to over 3.3 million TEUs or twenty-foot equivalent units.

Investments led to improved PH broadband prices, internet speed from 2017 to 2020 BROADBAND prices and internet speed improved between 2017 and 2020 as Globe Telecom Inc. and PLDT Inc. continued to invest in their networks. Results of more than 120 million tests taken with Speedtest in the Philippines showed the average mobile speed increased 62 percent and fixed broadband speed accelerated 86 percent between 2017 and 2020. Fixed broadband average download speed in the Philippines improved from 14.36 megabits per second in 2017 to

GSIS releases record P110-b worth of loans STATE-RUN pension fund Government Service Insurance System said Tuesday it disbursed a record P110 billion under the GSIS Financial Assistance Loan program since its launch in May 2018, a top executive said Tuesday. GSIS president and general manager Rolando Ledesma Macasaet said more than 271,000 government employees benefitted from the loans. He said the program would be extended until Dec. 29, 2021. “Last 2020, despite the pandemic and suspension of GFAL for six months, GSIS was able to release P37 billion that benefited 89,947 members. And because we want more of our members to have better life, we will extend GFAL until the end of 2021,” Macasaet said. The fund said that by transferring their loans from other lending institutions and consolidating these under GFAL, members would benefit from reduced monthly amortization, lower interest rate of 6 percent per annum and longer payment term of six years.

Maynilad Water opens new water laboratory WEST zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. said Tuesday it opened a P70-million water laboratory the will monitor and test the quality of water supply and wastewater effluents within its concession area. “Having the Water Lab saved us money on water quality analyses, and also strengthened the internal capability of Maynilad to conduct water testing and treatment. This is important because we want to assure our customers that the water and wastewater produced by our treatment facilities pass the government’s strict standards,” said Maynilad president and chief executive Ramoncito Fernandez. Located inside the La Mesa Compound in Quezon City, the new water lab houses Maynilad’s state-of-the-art analytical instruments used for studying compounds in water samples drawn from over 1,100 sampling points spread throughout the West concession area. The facility ensures that the water supply complies with the new and stricter quality parameters set by the Department of Health’s updated Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water. Othel V.

Economic Cha-cha to lure investments

Global animal health body declares Philippines free of bird flu strain By Othel V. Campos

IN BRIEF

26.69 mbps in 2020, an increase of 86 percent. The average mobile broadband download speed increased by 62 percent from 9.68 mbps to 15.72 mbps over the same period. “Providing good customer experience remains to be our ‘North Star’, as we aim to elevate PLDT and Smart to the level of global operators,” said Alfredo Panlilio, Smart Communications president and chief executive and PLDT chief revenue officer. PLDT said that as of 2020, its aver-

age fixed broadband download speed was 32.20 mbps, while Smart’s average mobile download speed reached 17.82 mbps—posting improvements of 78 percent and 71 percent, respectively from 2017, based on analysis by Ookla of tests taken with Speedtest. PLDT recently announced it was prepared to invest between P88 billion and P92 billion this year to meet the requirements of its mobile and fixed line customers. Meanwhile, Globe Telecom said the price of its broadband services dropped by

more than 60 percent in the last four years. It said that from as high as P26 per gigabytes, Globe At Home Postpaid LTE price went down to P9 per GB over the last two years, representing a 65.38-percent price decrease. Globe said that with Home Prepaid WiFi, its most affordable and loadable internet for the masses, customers now pay P9 per GB, down from as high as P23 in 2017, P15 in 2018 and P10 in 2019. This represented a decrease of 60.87 percent since 2017, it said. Darwin G. Amojelar

ONE of the benefits of amending the economic provisions of the Constitution, as contained in Resolution of Both Houses No. 2 now under deliberations in Congress, is that it will “attract more foreign investments and create jobs here in the Philippines, instead of sending our labor force abroad.” House Ways and Means Committee chair and Albay Rep. Joey Sarte Salceda said the deliberations on the proposed economic Charter Change (Cha-cha) in Congress “is always the right time to do the right thing.” The measure is being pushed and supported by majority of the members of Congress. “We have lost hundreds of billions of pesos in foregone revenue for tax incentives, when we have not tried a simpler and cheaper solution: opening industries in need of foreign capital to foreign investment through legislative action,” Salceda said in a recent hearing of the House constitutional amendments panel on RBH No. 2. He said the amendments would lift the economic restrictions that limited the inflow of foreign investments into the country. If approved this year, the country is projected to immediately take in foreign direct investments amounting to P211.21 billion, a 0.55-percent increase in the country’s gross domestic product and generate more or less 422,470 jobs by 2022.

Ayala Land bares seven new projects and lot acquisitions By Jenniffer B. Austria PROPERTY developer Ayala Land Inc. said Tuesday it plans to construct seven commercial facilities and acquire more properties in Cavite, Pampanga and Tarlac to boost its landbank. Ayala Land said in a disclosure to the stock exchange funding for the upcoming developments would come from the P5.11-billion proceeds it obtained from the sale of mixed-use development in Pasig City to unit AREIT Inc., its real estate invest trust company. “Ayala Land intends to use proceeds received from the sale of The 30th to AREIT to fund ongoing and future investments in real estate properties in Metro Manila and other key regions in the Philippines, which Ayala Land may undertake on its own or through other subsidiaries,” the property firm said. Under the REIT guidelines, any sponsor of an REIT that contributes income-generating real estate to a REIT will be required to reinvest any proceeds realized by the sponsor from the sale of REIT shares or other securities within a period of one year from the receipt of the proceeds. Ayala Land said the reinvestment plan would involve the development of a five-story mall in Pasig City with a gross leasable area of 50,000 square meters and another five-story regional mall in Makati with GLA of 50,000 s qm. It will also develop a four-level retail project with GLA of 115,000 sq. m. and a nine-story office space with total GLA of 20,000 sq. m. in Cebu. Ayala Land said to expand its landbank, it will acquire properties in Cavite, Tarlac and Pampanga by the second half of 2021.

Harden, Durant lead Nets past Bucks; Randle hero for Knicks

Ex-NBA player says Nets’ Irving bought Floyd’s family a house LOS ANGELES—Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving bought a house for the family of George Floyd, the African American man killed by police in Minnesota last year, former NBA player Stephen Jackson has said. Jackson, a friend of Floyd who was speaking on the “The Rematch” podcast with former NBA player Etan Thomas, said he had continued to try Kyrie Irving to support the family emotionally and practically and noted others who had done the same. “Kyrie Irving bought them a house,” Jackson said. “Lil Wayne’s manager bought them a Mercedes-Benz. Barbra Streisand gave them stock in Disney.” Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been charged with murder in the death of Floyd, a 46-year-old who was killed on May 25 when Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes as Floyd said he could not breathe. The killing sparked protests and unrest around the United States. While the NBA backed players’ desire to advocate for social justice causes, Irving indicated last year he thought resuming play that had been halted by the coronavirus pandemic would distract from the fight against systemic racism. Irving, who was injured when the NBA resumed play in the Orlando quarantine bubble last year, has been active off the court on social and racial justice issues. In July he committed $1.5 million to supplement the income of WNBA players who chose not to play the 2020 season in their bubble, whether because of coronavirus concerns or to devote themselves to social justice causes. The 28-year-old returned to action this season, but has missed seven straight games for what the team described as “personal reasons” and because of an NBA-mandated quarantine after he was seen in an online video at a family gathering without a mask.

SEAG-bound PH athletes

restricted to online training

HILE majority of the Filipino athletes gearing up for the Tokyo Olympics are already in a face-to-face bubble training in Calamba, Laguna, those who will vie in this year’s Southeast Asian Games are still restricted to online training.

National training director Mark Velasco on Tuesday said the Philippine Sports Commission is still working on the clearance from the IATF to allow the athletes for the SEA Games in Hanoi in November to undergo face-toface training. “We need the IATF clearance for that. (PSC) Commissioner Ramon Fernandez (SEA Games chef de mission) is working on that,” Velasco told the online version of the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum. Only those who are either qualified or seeking slots to the Tokyo Games are allowed to enter the bubble at the Inspire Sports Academy in Calamba. Olympic-bound athletes like gymnast Caloy Yulo, pole vaulter EJ Obiena, boxer Eumir Marcial and

weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz, who is set to formalize her entry to the Tokyo Games, have been training overseas for quite some time now. Velasco said they expect no more than 60 persons to join the Calamba bubble, including athletes and coaches from boxing, karatedo and taekwondo. Most of these athletes are preparing for Olympic qualifiers that will run until June. Karate Pilipinas, Inc. president Richard Lim also graced the forum presented by San Miguel Corp., Go For Gold, MILO, Amelie Hotel Manila, Braska Restaurant, and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation. Lim thanked the PSC and the IATF for giving his athletes the chance to

train for the Olympic qualifiers. He understands the health and safety protocols being implemented by the government, which has limited the movements of the other athletes. “We have to prioritize the safety of everybody. I think everybody (SEA Games rivals) is in the same situation. Health is our primary concern. November may still be far but for an athlete preparing for the SEA Games that’s near,” said Lim. Velasco is hoping that sooner or later, with the vaccine on hand, even those vying in the SEA Games, where the Philippines will try to defend the overall crown, will be allowed to go full blast in training. Under normal times, Velasco said it takes an athlete a full cycle of 21 weeks of training. But with no international exposure due to all the travel restrictions, Filipino athletes may need longer than the normal cycle to reach peak form in time for the SEA Games. “That’s why we are planning the best timetable for them. With no foreign exposure we need longer training cycles,” said Velasco.

NEW YORK—James Harden scored 34 points, and Kevin Durant’s 30 included the go-ahead three-pointer in the final minute as the NBA’s newlook Brooklyn Nets beat the Milwaukee Bucks 125-123 on Monday. Harden, playing his second game for Brooklyn since arriving in a blockbuster trade, added 12 assists. Durant added six assists and nine rebounds as the Nets held off two-time defending NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks in a clash of Eastern Conference powers. Antetokounmpo scored 34 points with 12 rebounds and seven assists for Milwaukee. Khris Middleton added 25 points -- but couldn’t get a potential game-winning three-pointer to drop in the final second. “That’s a huge win for us,” Harden said. “Not having a chance to practice, just going on the fly, we beat a really good Bucks team.” In a back-and-forth fourth quarter, the Nets trailed 122-123 when Harden missed a three-pointer but managed to corral the rebound and get the ball to Durant, who drained a three-pointer to put Brooklyn up 125-123 with 36.8 seconds remaining. After Middleton missed a three-point attempt, Durant turned the ball over to give the Bucks one more chance, but Middleton missed again. “It’s a rejuvenation,” Harden said of arriving in Brooklyn, who were without star guard Kyrie Irving for a seventh straight game. “This organization, the Brooklyn Nets, has welcomed me with open arms. The game at Brooklyn’s Barclays Arena was one of the marquee matchups on the NBA’s holiday slate honoring civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. Across town at Madison Square Garden, Julius Randle scored seven of his 21 points in the final 93 seconds as the New York Knicks held off Orlando 91-84. Randle shot only 5-of-19 from the floor but added 17 rebounds, while R.J. Barrett had 22 points and 10 rebounds as the Knicks, who ripped Boston on Sunday, won on consecutive days for the first time in 41 tries over more than three years. “Back-to-back is always tough for us,” Randle said. “We had the lead the whole game, played well. They made a run. Stayed together. “I couldn’t throw a rock in the ocean but we got it done. It’s a great win for us.” AFP

Nadal in ATP top 10 for 800th successive week PARIS—Rafael Nadal on Monday became the first player to be ranked in the ATP top 10 for 800 consecutive weeks, a run spanning more than 15 years. The world number two broke Jimmy Connors’ previous record of 789 straight weeks in the top 10 in November. The Spaniard first broke into the top 10 in April 2005, shortly before winning the first of his 13 French Open titles. The 34-year-old is still over two-and-ahalf years short of matching Roger Federer’s record of spending 931 weeks in total in the top 10. There were no changes at the top of the rankings as players prepare for the Australian Open next month. Some of the sport’s biggest stars were among those told they would get no “special treatment” on Monday, with 72 players stuck in hotel quarantine in Australia after

four Covid-19 cases on the chartered planes which flew players to the country. ATP top 20: 1. Novak Djokovic (SRB) 12,030 points; 2. Rafael Nadal (ESP) 9,850; 3. Dominic Thiem (AUT) 9,125; 4.

Pacio: Adiwang ready for Kawahara

Joshua Pacio

REIGNING ONE Strawweight World Champion Joshua “The Passion” Pacio of the famed Team Lakay of Baguio City, Philippines, like the rest of the country, will be focused on a particular matchup when ONE Championship returns this Friday night. Taking place in Singapore on January 22, ONE: UNBREAKABLE is ONE Championship’s first live event in 2021. The main event features a ONE Super Series showdown between ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Champion Alaverdi “Babyface Killer” Ramazanov of Russia, who defends his world title against #2-ranked bantamweight kickboxing contender Capitan Petchyindee Academy of Thailand. One of the bouts on the card include Pacio’s teammate, Lito “Thunder Kid” Adiwang, who is scheduled to face Ja-

pan’s Namiki Kawahara. Pacio shared his thoughts on this matchup. Q: What is your opinion on this matchup? Pacio: “For me, this Lito Adiwang versus Namiki Kawahara is definitely a good match up. I think a lot of the fans are going to be entertained. It’s a good clash of styles and will be interesting to see who can impose his will. Of course, I have full confidence in my brother that he can take home the win. But if you ask me, I think the people are waiting for a rematch between Lito and Hiroba Minowa. That’s a fight that fans have been asking for since the controversial split decision last year. Even I’m super excited for that match. They have to run it back.” Q: Do you think Namiki Kawahara is Lito’s toughest opponent yet? Pacio: “At Team Lakay, we treat every opponent like the toughest we’ve ever faced.

Honestly, I think Lito has faced tougher opponents than Namiki Kawahara, but we didn’t go into training camp with that mindset. We never underestimate our opponents. Lito is fully focused on facing the most dangerous fighter he’s ever faced. He’s completely ready for this matchup. I see Lito train every single day in the gym, wearing his heart on his sleeve. I know how hard he works and what skills he has. There aren’t many people who can match him strength for strength.” Q: How do you think this fight will go? What is your prediction? Pacio: “Lito will be prepared for anything Namiki Kawahara brings to the table. He’ll be fully prepared for any situation. Here at Team Lakay, we learn from our losses. We treat them as good experiences. Lito has levelled up his game and he’s ready to showcase how much better

he’s gotten since his last fight. I think Lito wins this one by explosive knockout. Lito always comes to fight and he’s always looking for the finish. He wants to give fans a good show. I’m excited to see this matchup.” Q: Why do you think fans want to see a rematch between Lito and Minowa? Pacio: “A win is a win, I guess. Minowa won, yes, but it wasn’t a clear victory. It’s still different if you can clearly win a match. The majority of fans I’ve talked to thought Lito won. I did too. The only way to prove that is inside the Circle. That fight was too close to end just like that. I think after Lito beats Namiki, a rematch with Minowa is a must. Everyone in the Philippines is asking for it. We all know what Lito is capable of. You may think you’ve seen the best of Lito Adiwang, but I tell you the best is yet to come.”

Froome eyes 5th Tour de France title PARIS —A defiant Chris Froome declared he was “not finished yet” on Monday as his new cycling team Israel Start Up Nation held a press conference ahead of a season in which the Briton is targeting a fifth Tour de France. Froome has won four Tour de France races and switched from Ineos to ISN, backed by Israeli-Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams, in his bid to join an elite clique led by Eddy Merckx who have won five. Fighting back from a dreadful accident in June 2019, Froome will be 36 when the Tour rolls out of Brest, and much has happened since he last won a Tour de France in 2017. But the steel that drove him to a magnificent seven Grand Tour titles was there in the Briton’s gaze when he outlined his plans. “Age is a state of mind. I feel relatively young in cycling years because I only got into the sport a little bit later,” he said. “The way nutrition and sport have evolved over the years, it is certainly possible for athletes to go on later and later.” Froome also said while leaving Ineos was a gamble, Tadej Pogacar’s 2020 tour win for UAE Emirates was an inspiration. “That was a fantastic race by him, and it does give a lot of hope to smaller teams, seeing a scenario coming off like that, it shows at the end of the day it does come down to the strength of the leaders.” Froome fractured a thigh, elbow and vertebrae in a high speed crash into a wall 18-months ago and told AFP shortly afterwards it was “like starting from zero again, below zero if you like, that’s what it feels like”. Before the accident, Froome made no secret of his ambition to equal the five Tour de France races won by Merckx, Jacques Anquetil, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain, but is now focussed on getting fully fit. “I’d like to get to number five, and keep racing and targeting Grand Tours until I’m ready to retire from the sport on my own terms,” he said. “Being put out by a crash didn’t sit well with me, so as soon as I found out I could make a full recovery and there was nothing physically that should hold me back, that was a simple decision for me to make.” Froome missed the Ineos cut for the 2020 Tour de France roster but did complete the shortened 18-day Vuelta a Espana.

Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic arrives before heading straight to quarantine for two weeks isolation ahead of their Australian Open warm up matches in Adelaide. AFP

Aussie Open tensions run high; Kyrgios labels Djokovic a ‘tool’

ELBOURNE—Australia’s Nick Kyrgios dismissed world number one Novak Djokovic as a “tool” as a backlash grew against tennis players ﬂown in for the Australian Open during a raging pandemic. Kyrgios joined a wave of criticism of the Serb for reportedly issuing a list of demands for quarantined players who have arrived in Melbourne and Adelaide on chartered flights. The arrival of more than 1,000 players and staff, including four people who tested positive, has raised hackles in a country which is largely coronavirusfree, and especially in Melbourne which came out of a four-month lockdown in October. “Djokovic is a tool,” Kyrgios tweeted, after the Serb led a chorus of player complaints about conditions in lockeddown hotel rooms. At least 72 players have been barred from leaving their rooms for two weeks after coronavirus cases were detected on their charter flights into the country. Others are allowed out of their rooms for up to five hours a day to train under strictly-controlled conditions. The 33-year-old Serb and reign-

ing Australian Open champion is among several stars—others include Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka and Rafael Nadal—who were allowed to fly into Adelaide where they enjoy better facilities such as balconies on their hotel rooms, unlike the majority in Melbourne, the Australian Open’s host city. But Djokovic reportedly issued a list of demands in a letter to Tennis Australia that included moving quarantined players into private homes with tennis courts and getting them better meals. Australian media zeroed in on the demands, portraying them as petulant and selfish, while showing images of Djokovic not wearing a mask in a players’ minibus, which would be required in most taxis and rideshares in Australia. Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews smashed back Djokovic’s demands. “There’s no special treatment here.

Because the virus doesn’t treat you specially, so neither do we,” he said on Monday. In Australia many are also questioning why the players and staff were flown in for the event, when tens of thousands of Australians remain stranded overseas. Meanwhile Kyrgios also took aim at fellow Australian player Bernard Tomic’s girlfriend, Vanessa Sierra, after she complained in an online video about cold food and having to wash her own hair in quarantine. “I don’t mind Bernie but his Mrs obviously has no perspective, ridiculous scenes,” Kyrgios said on Twitter. Djokovic’s actions around the tournament are being closely watched, in part due to his seeming nonchalance about the virus in the past. Last year, the 17-time major champion organised a series of exhibition events in the Balkans at which social distancing was minimal. He and several other players later tested positive for the virus, as well as his wife Jelena. Despite the controversies, the Australian Open is due to begin in Melbourne on February 8, having already been delayed three weeks. AFP

Olympic medallist Sindhu makes 2nd round BANGKOK—India’s PV Sindhu cruised into the second round of the Thailand Open on Tuesday to erase the memory of her surprise first round exit a week earlier The Rio Olympics silver medallist, was sheer class as she pummelled Thailand’s world number 12 Busanan Ongbamrungphan 21-17, 21-13 in 42 minutes in Bangkok. “It was a good game and I’m very, very happy. This win was very important for me in this tournament because at last week’s tournament, I went out in the first round,” said sixth seed Sindhu. “So this win today was important, because even though in the first game it was tight, I didn’t want to make it easy.” Sindhu fell to Denmark’s Mia Blichfeldt in a shock a week ago in the first of back-to-back Thailand Opens. Top seed Tai Tzu-ying from Taiwan bounced back

THE LINK REY JOBLE THEY’VE spent two months away from their families, locked inside the bubble in Clark, Pampanga. For 60 days—or more—they had this regular routine—hotel, practice facilities, playing venue. No one was allowed to leave the PBA bubble. It’s the price they had to pay for the life they’ve chosen, the life of a PBA player, who made their sacrifice just to make this bubble tournament happen. Two of those players who thrived inside the PBA Bubble were Raul Soyud of NLEX and Justin Chua of Phoenix Super LPG. Both of them have improved by leaps and bounds and it wasn’t surprising why these two players became candidates for the Most Improved Player

from her final defeat to Spain’s Carolina Marin in the first tournament on Sunday, to beat Thailand’s Supanida Katethong 21-16, 21-11. “I think I played OK today. I am feeling a little better than last week,” said Tai. In the men’s singles, former world number one Kidambi Srikanth polished off Thailand’s Sitthikom Thammasin 21-11, 21-11. The Indian, now ranked 14th, was forced to pull out of last week’s tournament with a calf muscle strain. Thailand is hosting three consecutive badminton tournaments in Bangkok culminating in the World Tour Finals from January 27. The players have been facing off in a bio-secure bubble minus spectators, although the first tournament was overshadowed by three positive coronavirus cases. AFP

Davis Cup Finals lengthened to reduce burden on players PARIS—The Davis Cup Finals will be expanded to an 11-day event starting this year, and could be held across three European cities, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) announced on Monday. The competition was reformed in 2019, with Rafael Nadal’s Spain winning the 18-team competition in Madrid, but scheduling issues resulted in a number of late finishes and poor attendances at some matches. The ITF has already accepted two proposals from Kosmos, the investment group which finances the event, following a review of the initial week-long tournament. The 2021 edition will now run from November 25 to December 5, while the number of participating teams will be cut to 16 in 2022. Madrid will remain the venue for the semi-finals and final, but two additional cities could host group matches and a quarter-final. A bidding process has been launched to identify a shortlist of potential cities, with Covid-19 contingency plans a key component this year. A final decision on the 2021 format will be taken in March, the ITF said. “We are committed to a longterm vision for this historic competition and are confident these adjustments will enhance the experience for players and fans,” said tournament director Albert Costa. “With large stadiums providing show courts for all ties, the introduction of a multi-city event will bring the competition to the widest possible audience. “We will also be able to ease the burden on players with improvements to the scheduling. Crucially, a revised schedule will allow us to avoid late finishes while providing more rest for players.” The 2020 tournament was called off due to complications posed by the coronavirus pandemic.

India’s Pusarla V. Sindhu hits a shot against Thailand’s Busanan Ongbamrungphan during their women’s singles first round match at the Toyota Thailand Open badminton tournament in Bangkok. AFP

For flag and country award won by Prince Caperal of Barangay Ginebra. Soyud, a vastly-improved forward, made his presence felt in the recent tournament by becoming the most efficient big man of the Road Warriors. The player who spent the past few years on the reserve list and couldn’t crack the line up, was finally given an opportunity to shine by head coach Yeng Guiao. In the recent bubble, he averaged 10 points and 6.82 rebounds per game. As if these numbers were proof enough of his vast improvement, Soyud solidified it more when he became the tournament leader in field goal shooting, averaging 74-percent from the field, the best shooting percentage average in years. Chua, on the other hand, is a lefty 6-foot-5 center, who has a decent shot from the perimeter. His offensive game became even noticeable when he averaged 13 points per game. But he was also a solid presence on both ends of

the court and in fact went on to lead the shot blocking department averaging 1.7 blocks per game. After spending months virtually from “prison,” these two players were finally released when the PBA bubble ended last week. But it looks like they’re headed in another bubble-type of atmosphere as they were among the few PBA players invited to join the Gilas Pilipinas pool training in Calamba, Laguna. Just when they thought they could finally spend more time with their families, these players, along with several other fellow PBA cagers – Kiefer Ravena of NLEX, Roger Pogoy and Troy Rosario of TNT, and CJ Perez of Terrafirma – got a call to join the Gilas Pilipinas training camp in Calamba. For flag and country, these players will again make the ultimate sacrifice. Chua will finally get the chance of playing in an international tournament. In 2011, he was a reserve

player in the national team when the Filipinos competed in the Southeast Asian Games men’s basketball tournament. For Soyud, it’s an opportunity of a lifetime. Guiao wasn’t surprised with the Gilas call up, but he was more surprised with the accelerated improvement of his ward. “Kahit na pingagalitan mo, wala siyang reklamo. It’s just sheer determination on his part to get better. Somehow, at least nakatulong pala ‘yung mga mura ko sa kanya,” said Guiao, who added that several teams have also expressed interest in getting Soyud, but the fiery mentor was determined to keep his upand-coming player and make him a part of his team’s future. Chua and Soyud have come a long way and for flag and country, they don’t mind spending the next month back inside a “cell-like” Gilas Pilipinas Bubble training camp. They’re willing to do it. Para sa Bayan!

KEANN JOHNSON, JR VERSALES find each other in new BL drama ‘Run’

Canadian singer and actor Tyler Shaw releases a new ballad entitled ‘When You’re Home.’

Canadian star Tyler Shaw releases gorgeous ballad ‘When You’re Home’

FTER successfully starring in a Pinoy Boys Love movie and Metro Manila Film festival 2020 2nd Best Picture The Boy Foretold By The Stars, newcomer Keann Johnson banners another BL drama opposite Seklusyon actor JR Versales.

Entitled Run and helmed by theater director Mel Magno, the film follows the story of two young men Gene (JR) and Mark (Keann) who accidentally meet in a marketplace where their romance immediately starts to blossom. “It’s a BL movie but it’s also a story about family. Family and acceptance are the main themes of the movie,” Keann told Manila Standard Entertainment. “It’s a drama about being selfless. It talks about thinking of other people’s happiness, or in the case of my character, my partner’s happiness first before anything else,” Keann added. Gene grew up fail, soft, and falling short of his father’s expectations. He runs as an athlete to give honor to his father. More than that, he excels in academics. His father wants him to be in the military service but intentionally fails to pass the PMA exams. “No matter what he does, his father never learned to appreciate his effort,” JR said. Gene runs away from home after his father threatens his life after discovering a sex video scandal he had with a former flame. Mark welcomes Gene into his simple abode upon knowing that he had nowhere to go. Talking about their characters, Keann described Mark as an outgoing and hardworking person. Meanwhile, JR presented his character sympathizing with his dilemma. “He grew up being maltreated by his father for being not something he is expected to be. His father is a military man and given his profession and background, he can’t accept that his only son is gay,” JR stated. On playing the character, the young actor said it was not really hard on his part because of the constant guidance of their director who made sure that they understood the situation of their characters, where they are coming from. “When we are in front of the camera, I’m not JR, I’m Gene. So, it wasn’t really hard to get into character. You just have to feel him and believe in what the director says,” JR related. Talking about the kind of relationship Gene and Mark have in the film, Keann described it as something young, beautiful, complicated, and daring. “It’s more of a give and take relationship. Gene was going through his own struggles, my character was also going through some personal issues. This is where we both extend our arms that we’re here for each other. There’s kilig but marami kasing takot because we’re running away and sort of hiding from Gene’s father. We mutually support each other. We depend on each other’s emotional sincerity in every scene which made our work easier,” Keann shared. According to Mel Magno, hundreds auctioned for the roles of Gene and Mark.

TEAM ILLUMINATING OR TEAM ULTIMATE GRAY:

Inject Pantone 2021 colors By Monica Sanchez

into your wardrobe

NE is neutral, the other striking. One makes for a great base, the other perfect as a bold accent. It is the complementary characteristic of Pantone’s Color of the Year in 2021 that opens opportunity for no-fuss mixing and matching. After going through what we have went through in 2020, trend forecaster Pantone Color Institute thought it best to have two contrasting yet comple-

mentary colors—the bright yellow Illuminating and the muted gray variant Ultimate Gray—to be this year’s hue. It is the second time the organization

Illuminating

picked two colors for one year. “The pairing,” it said, “highlights our innate need to be seen, to be visible, to be recognized, to have our voices heard.” It aims to convey the message of positivity (an overarching theme of the color yellow) supported by fortitude or stability (a characteristic of the neutral gray). Following the announcement last year, fashion brands began releasing and highlighting pieces in either of the

two colors, hoping to be part of everyone’s 2021 wardrobe. The two colors stand out in their own and also work well together. According to fashion and merchandising expert Christine Benet of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, the demand for extreme colors are balanced with the light and bright palettes and accessories. Scarves or shawls, footwear, purses, or layers in the full shades of Illuminat-

Ultimate Gray

ing bring energy to a backdrop of the composed Ultimate Gray. The combination likewise creates a high visibility contrast that makes it ideal for outerwear and activewear. “Given the general sentiment of consumers, the two colors reflect a strong feeling of yearning for stability during these trying times,” said Benet. Ready to add an uplifting and stable vibe to your year? Here are pieces in Illuminating and Ultimate Gray:
