Gov’t, Church break standoff IATF hears today CBCP proposal for four-day Masses this Holy Week

By Vito Barcelo and Rey Requejo

HE government has opened a window for the possible holding of masses at 10 percent capacity from Maundy Thursday to Easter Sunday following a stalemate with the Catholic Church over a 14-day ban on religious gatherings to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases will discuss the position of the Catholic Church today (Thursday). “On the table for the IATF’s consideration is the request of the Catholic Church to be allowed a maximum of 10 percent attendance in churches during the Triduum (Holy Thursday-Good Friday-Black Saturday), as well as on Easter Sunday, which will coincide with the celebration of the quincentennial of Christianity in

the Philippines,” Guevarra said. Guevarra has been holding talks with the leadership of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines for two days straight since Tuesday following Malacañang’s announcement that it will not hesitate to use police powers to close down churches that defy the ban.

CHURCHES CLOSED OFF. The doors of the famous San Agustin Church in Intramuros, Manila are closed to the public on Wednesday following the ban on religious gatherings amid the rise in coronavirus cases. The situation played out in churches across Metro Manila, from the San Juan Dela Cruz Parish in Valenzuela City to the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo and even the National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help in Baclaran. Only the Manila Cathedral had a handful of worshippers inside (inset photos). Andrew Rabulan and Norman Cruz

THE Philippines logged 6,666 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday as active cases reached a record high of 91,754, the highest since the pandemic hit more than a year ago, the Department of Health (DOH) said. Wednesday’s tally brought the total number of infections to 684,311, and was the sixth highest announced in a single day, and the fifth highest for the year. Forty-seven new deaths brought the total COVID-19 death toll to 13,039, which ias 19.1 percent of total infections.

The DOH also reported that 1,072 patients recovered from the disease, bringing the total recoveries to 579,518, which is 84.7 percent of the total. Active cases are now 13.4 percent of total infections. Of the active cases, 95.3 percent are mild; 2.5 percent are asymptomatic; 0.8 percent are critical; 0.9 percent are severe; and 0.46 percent are moderate. The DOH also reported that, nationwide, 53 percent of the ICU bed capacity are being used; 43 percent of the isolation bed capacity is used; 41 percent of the ward bed capacity is used; and 34 percent of the total units of ventilators

are being used. The DOH also reported that, in Metro Manila; 71 percent of the ICU bed capacity is being used; 68 percent of the isolation bed capacity is used; 51 percent of the ward bed capacity is used; and 51 percent of all ventilators are being used. More than half a million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been given to Filipinos as of Tuesday afternoon, the department said. Another 400,000 doses of donated Sinovac coronavirus vaccines from China arrived on Wednesday. Next page

Australia weights in on Chinese boats’ intrusion Senate approves By Rey E. Requejo and Maricel V. Cruz AUSTRALIA on Wednesday joined the United States and Japan in expressing concern over Chinese incursions in the West Philippine Sea, after Manila protested the presence of more than 200 Chinese vessels moored near the Julian Felipe Reef, which is inside the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone.

“We remain concerned about destabilizing actions that could provoke escalation,” Australian Ambassador to the Philippines Steven Robinson said on Twitter. Robinson said Australia supports an Indo-Pacific region that is secure, open and inclusive. “The South China Sea – a crucial international waterway – is governed by international rules and norms, particularly UNCLOS,” he said, referring to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Australia’s statement came just a day after both the United States and Japan spoke out on the issue, opposing any action that would drive up tension in the South China Sea, including the West Philippine Sea. Earlier, Japan stressed that issues related to the South China Sea are directly related to the region's peace and stability and a "concern for all" as it reiterated support for "free, open, and peaceful seas" and the enforcement of the rule of law.

franchise of DITO, country’s 3rd telco

By Macon Ramos-Araneta THE Senate on Wednesday approved the franchises of DITO Telecommunity Corp., another telecommunications company, and granted four broadcast franchises on the chamber’s last session day before the Holy Week recess. Sen. Grace Poe, chairperson of the Committee on Public Services, steered the passage of the measures. The franchise of DITO, poised as the country’s third major telco, got the approval of 17 senators, with opposition Senators Risa Hontiveros and Francis Pangilinan voting against it and Sen. Panfilo Lacson abstaining. DITO, owned by Davao-based Dennis Next page

By Jimbo Gulle PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday ordered the Ombudsman to investigate mayors who received COVID-19 vaccines ahead of medical frontliners, even as he saw a “gray area” why the local chief executives, and even other government officials, took the jabs against the coronavirus despite a set priority list. The President noted that the mayors’ “universal excuse” was so their constituents would not fear taking the vaccine. He also revealed that he held a list of government officials who had already taken the jab. However, Duterte emphasized the importance of the vaccine priority list, as this is part of the conditions posted by the World Health Organization to receive more shots under the COVAX program. “For me that’s a bit of a gray area. What should come first (is) whether or not the jumping of COVID-19 line of vaccination would require a certain amount of a legal study,” he said in a televised address -- where he also announced the names of the mayors who received vaccines ahead of those in the government's priority list. They were Mayor Alfred Romualdez of Tacloban City; Mayor Dibu Tuan of T'boli town in South Cotabato; Mayor Sulpicio Villalobos of Sto. Niño, South Cotabato; Mayor Noel Rosal of Legazpi City, Albay; Mayor Abraham Ibba of Bataraza, Palawan; Mayor Elanito Peña of Minglanilla, Cebu; and Mayor Victoriano Torres of Alicia, Mayor Virgilio Next page

Speaker renews call for stimulus Velasco made the appeal with more areas placed under localized lockdowns and some businesses again forced to shut down due to upsurge in COVID-19 cases. “There are a lot of Filipinos who are suffering financially and are in dire need of help now,” Velasco said. “A third economic stimulus package will provide much-needed lifeline to individuals, families and businesses severely affected by the pandemic.” Velasco was referring to his own version of the Bayanihan 3 bill that proposes a P420-billion fund to stimulate the nation’s economic recovery from the CO-

VID-19 crisis. The Speaker filed the measure in February after the passage of the bill extending the validity of Bayanihan 2, and upon seeing further need to allocate additional funds to help the nation cope with the pandemic. To date, 224 members from the supermajority, minority and independent blocs in the House of Representatives have signed either as principal authors or co-authors of the measure. Lawmakers said reports that the Philippine economy contracted 9.5 percent in 2020—the worst performance in the country’s post-war history—underscore

the importance and urgency of passing swiftly Bayanihan 3. House Bill 8628 or the proposed “Bayanihan to Arise As One Act” seeks to allocate P108 billion for additional social amelioration to impacted households, P100 billion for capacity-building for impacted sectors, P52 billion for wage subsidies, P70 billion for wage subsidies, P70 billion for capacity-building for agricultural producers, P30 billion for internet allowances to students and teachers, P30 billion for assistance to displaced workers, P25 billion for COVID-19 treatment and vaccines, and P5 billion for the rehabilitation of areas impacted by recent floods and typhoons. Under the measure, each household member will receive P1,000 regardless of their economic status. On top of this, a P1,000 allowance will be provided to each student and teacher, and P8,000 for every displaced worker. The country’s economic managers had reportedly said they were not sure if

if they knocked, we cannot just say you cannot come in," he said in an interview with the ANC news channel. "There's a possibility that they will be allowed.. Maybe people can stay outside in order for them to attend the Mass so that we will not violate any IATF protocols," Secillano added. He said the Catholic Church will follow the guidelines but the government should have consulted the Church first before implementing such rules to avoid confusion. The IATF prohibited religious gatherings under the implementation of general community quarantine in Metro Manila, Bulacan, Laguna, Rizal, and Cavite from March 22 to April 4. The Archdiocese of Manila covers the cities of Manila, Pasay, Makati, Manda-

luyong, and San Juan, all within the Metro Manila quarantine bubble. Secillano said the ban is inconsistent as baptisms, funeral Masses, and weddings are still allowed with attendance limited to only 10 persons. “[I]t's quite unreasonable because if you look at the policy, you allow 10 persons for baptisms, weddings, [and] funeral masses. But when it comes to masses, why is there totally none?” he said. “There should be a rational approach to formulate a strategy. However, at the rate things are going, it appears irrational. There seems to be too many loopholes [and] inconsistencies,” he said. Pabillo lamented that Church leaders were not consulted “when they make policies affecting our life of worship.”

Holy Week, said Pabillo, is not just any ordinary time for Christian believers. He noted that it is “a time during which we feel more especially God’s love for us so we are drawn these days to thank and worship Him more intensely.” The parochial vicar of Quiapo Church, meanwhile, said it is safer for the public to visit churches than malls. The Quiapo Church will be open to the public at 10 percent capacity or 100 visitors, said Fr. Douglas Badong. “It's safer for them to go to church than be allowed in malls. We've proven this during dawn masses and the Feast of the Nazarene,” he said in Filipino. He appealed to government to review the situation before implementing policies.

The "critical risk" areas within Metro Manila are Marikina, Mandaluyong, Caloocan, San Juan, Pasig, Muntinlupa, Pateros, Quezon City, and Parañaque. All other cities are at high risk. “However, we see that the regional healthcare utilization rate is in the safe zone. This is important because our regional healthcare utilization rate serves as the buffer,” De Guzman said. On the other hand, the DOH said Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Western Visayas, and Caraga were at “moderate risk” for COVID-19. In the same briefing, De Guzman said 8.7 percent of 4,310 samples subjected to genome sequencing tested positive for the B.1.1.7 (United Kingdom) and B.1.351 (South Africa) variants. The B.1.1.7 has so far been detected in Metro Manila, the Cordillera region, and Regions 1, 3, 4A, 6, and 10. The B.1.351 has been identified in Metro Manila and Regions 2, 3, 4A, 10, and 12. Some 23 percent of the COVID-19 cases with new variants were returning overseas Filipinos. The Philippines logged 223 B.1.1.7 cases, 152 B.1.351 cases, one P.1 (Brazil variant) case, and 104 P.3 (variant first detected in the Philippines) cases as of March 20. “It’s important that whether we detect a variant of concern in an area or not, now that we are seeing a fast increase in cases, our regions and our local governments must ensure that our strategies are implemented quickly and effectively,” De Guzman said. She also said clinical management

remains the same even for patients with coronavirus variants. Meanwhile, the OCTA Research Group is projecting a downtrend in the number of cases in Metro Manila and the four adjacent provinces four weeks after the areas were placed in a bubble. In its projections for the "NCR Plus" general community quarantine (GCQ) bubble released Wednesday, OCTA said that if the current reproduction number 2.0 will decrease to 1.5 within the two-week period from March 22 to April 4, “the trend will become downward in four weeks, and the number of new cases per day in the NCR will peak at 6,200.” Residents of Metro Manila and adjacent provinces Bulacan, Cavite, Rizal, and Laguna are prevented from going outside the NCR Plus border unless it was an essential trip, including going to the workplace, under the "NCR Plus" bubble policy. The "NCR Plus bubble" restriction also prevents people outside the bubble from entering the area unless it was an essential trip. Police said residents in the area will not be restricted from traveling within the “bubble.” The DOH said Wednesday that it is working to decongest hospitals, saying almost half of admitted patients are mild and asymptomatic COVID-19 cases. DOH spokesperson and Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said teams have been deployed to inspect hospitals’ compliance with the directive to allocate 30 percent to 50 percent of beds for COVID-19 patients. “Based on the assessment done… al-

most 50 percent % of those admitted to our hospitals are mild and asymptomatic. One of the strategies will be for us to identify facilities where we can transfer asymptomatic and mild patients,” Vergeire said in a press briefing. Vergeire said the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) would establish new temporary treatment and monitoring facilities in two weeks. Isolation czar Secretary Mark Villar earlier said quarantine facilities were 50 percent occupied in Metro Manila and 16 percent full nationwide. Vergeire said the DOH is addressing hospitals’ need for more health workers amid a surge in cases. “Our hiring of health care workers never stopped… We continue to do that as more resources are needed, especially at this time,” Vergeire said. Vergeire said there is no constant supply of drugs like Remdesivir and Tocilizumab, both of which are being used on COVID-19 patients. “All of these are being used out of the compassionate special permit… meaning they’re used at the discretion of doctors and they will be held accountable for the outcomes of their patients,” she said. Some health workers posted on social media revealing that they are experiencing a shortage of these drugs. “We spoke with the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) yesterday and we’ve also sought help from the private sector to connect hospitals to suppliers,” Vergeire said.

the vaccination of actor Mark Anthony Fernandez – whom the President referred to as “anak ng artista” (son of an actor) in his briefing -- against COVID-19 in Parañaque City. Interviewed on Super Radyo dzBB, Densing said the actor was not included in the priority list for the government in the inoculation rollout. After his inoculation, Fernandez encouraged the public to receive the vaccines doses once they were available. According to Densing, Parañaque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez has the command responsibility for the incident. There was no immediately available comment or reaction from Olivarez. Meanwhile, Bantay Bakuna, in a statement released to the media, said it received a report from a concerned health worker who went in line to get a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at Emilio Aguinaldo Elementary School, Quezon City. The pictures showed uniformed personnel of the Philippine National Police who were observed to have walked past the other health workers' queue and sat in an area designated for PNP.

Australia... China hit back at Japan, accusing it of “acting as a vassal state” of the US. “It is a pity that some Asian country, which has disputes with China in the East China Sea and is driven by the selfish aim to check China's revitalization, willingly stoops to acting as a strategic vassal of the US,” its embassy in Manila tweeted. The Department of Foreign Affairs lodged a diplomatic note protesting the swarming and has called on Beijing to immediately withdraw its vessels near the reef and all relevant Kalayaan Island Group features. In a statement Tuesday, US State Department spokesman Ned Price said Washington stands with Manila as its defense ally "regarding concerns about the gathering of PRC (People's Republic of China) maritime militia vessels near Whitsun Reef." "We call on Beijing to stop using its maritime militia to intimidate and provoke others, which undermines peace and security," he said on Tuesday night. The US Embassy in Manila earlier

claimed that Chinese boats have been mooring in the area "for many months in ever-increasing numbers, regardless of the weather.” British Foreign Minister Nigel Adams also noted the UK's concerns on the South China Sea, particularly actions which raise tensions in the region. Retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio on Wednesday said the presence of 220 Chinese militia vessels in the West Philippine Sea may be a prelude to China’s ultimate goal of seizing Julian Felipe Reef. Carpio, who has been urging the government to strongly assert the Philippines’ sovereign rights over disputed maritime territories in the South China, said Manila should be wary of the presence of the Chinese ships at Julian Felipe Reef, citing the Chinese occupation of the Mischief Reef in 1995. "The way I look at it, this is a prelude to occupying Julian Felipe Reef, just like what they did to Mischief Reef in 1995. They started [by] saying they just built a fishermen shelter on Mischief Reef. Now, Mischief Reef is their air and naval base, they call it their ‘Pearl Harbor’ in the South China Sea," Carpio said, in an interview with ABS-CBN News Channel. With PNA

Uy, aims to break the dominance of Smart/Philippine Long Distance Company and Globe Telecommunications. Poe said the entry of DITO as a major player in the Philippine telecommunications market would spur the competition for more affordable and better internet and mobile services available to more Filipinos. In the House of Representatives, House Bill 7332 seeks to renew DITO's franchise for another 25 years. It requires the company to offer at least 30% of its common stocks to Filipino citizens. Moreover, the company must also ensure that at least 60% of its employees will be regularized and that the number of contractual employees shall exceed 40%. The bill also requires DITO to submit an annual report to Congress on its compliance to the terms and conditions of its franchise. Failure to do so will result in a ₱1 million fine for each day it fails to submit a report. National security concerns have been raised repeatedly over DITO’s operations, as it is 40% owned by a Chinese state-run company. DITO holds a congressional franchise via Mindanao Islamic Telephone Company, Inc. (Mislatel), which is set to expire in 2023. It launched commercially on March 8 in various areas in Visayas and Mindanao after being selected by the government as the new player in the local telecommunications market. It was given a five-year network rollout to realize its commitment to provide at least 55 mbps of mobile data connectivity to at least 84 percent of the country's population.

tions, meanwhile, are characterized by the outpouring of lava without significant explosive eruption. Magmatic eruptions produce juvenile clasts during explosive decompression from gas release, geologists say. They range in intensity from the relatively small lava fountains on Hawaii to cata-

strophic Ultra-Plinian eruption columns more than 30 kilometers high, bigger than the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD that buried Pompeii in Italy. Taal’s sulfur dioxide gas emission in the previous week has been generally high with a peak of 1,184 tons per day last Sunday, the state seismology bu-

reau noted. These parameters indicate that magmatic eruption may be possible, it said. "Ground deformation of TVI and the Taal Caldera region in general has remained steady and at slight inflationary trends since February 2021," it said.

The ban would last until April 4, Easter Sunday. Bishop Broderick Pabillo, apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of Manila, however, insisted the 10-percent capacity rule does not constitute mass gathering. CBCP spokesman Fr.

Metro Manila, home to a tenth of the country's population, has been placed under general community quarantine, along with Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna and Rizal, from March 22 until April 4, with additional restrictions imposed to arrest the virus' spread. Earlier, the DOH said the fresh surge in COVID-19 cases seen nationwide has surpassed the peak recorded in July and August last year. DOH Epidemiology Bureau director Dr. Alethea De Guzman said most of the new cases came from Metro Manila and the Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon) area. “Our cases are still increasing at a fast rate. Our peak during the past week has exceeded the peak we saw in the first week of August 2020,” De Guzman said in a mix of English and Filipino during a briefing. The Philippines averaged 5,644 daily new cases in the third week of March, which is 4.4 times higher than the figures at the start of January. Metro Manila was in the “high risk” classification based on the speed of its case increase and the size of the population affected by COVID-19. Cases in the capital region grew by 137 percent during March 7 to March 20 as compared to February 21 to March 6. Some 28 hospitals in Metro Manila no longer had available intensive care unit beds for COVID-19 patients as of March 21.

Mendez of San Miguel, and Mayor Arturo Piollo II of Lila, all in Bohol.The Department of the Interior and Local Government has asked the mayors to explain their COVID-19 vaccination at a time when the country was giving priority to frontline health workers. The mayors are expected to respond to the show-cause orders within three working days, said DILG Undersecretary Epimaco Densing. "If we find probable cause, we'll forward it to the Office of the Ombudsman as they have violated Republic Act 3019,” Densing said. Romualdez was the first local chief executive to receive a dose of Sinovac's COVID-19 vaccine, the Presidential Communications Operations Office said in a now-deleted tweet. Romualdez also violated health protocols as he did not wear a face mask or face shield during his vaccination, according to Densing. At the same time, Densing called out

the third stimulus package would still be necessary if quarantine restrictions were eased further and the economy moves faster. However, Velasco said that during a recent virtual meeting, he got an assurance from Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III that efforts were being made to identify funding sources for the Bayanihan 3. “It’s a matter of finding revenues to be able to fund those programs. Secretary Dominguez did not actually shoot down Bayanihan 3,” Velasco said. He added: “Definitely, he (Dominguez) really wants to help the Filipino people. Ang sinabi lang niya e give him time to look for the funding.” Velasco said a third stimulus package is necessary in light of a Philippine Statistics Authority report that around 4 million adult Filipinos, representing 8.7 percent of the labor force, lost their jobs in the first month of the year even as the economy further reopens.

IBP, lawmakers laud SC stance on law threats By Rey E. Requejo, Macon Ramos-Araneta and Maricel V. Cruz THE Integrated Bar of the Philippines lauded Wednesday the actions taken by the Supreme Court to address the threats and killings of lawyers and the red-tagging of judges. “As the Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court stand with us, we will resolutely and proactively protect our members and do our sworn duty to seek the truth, do justice, and promote peace,” the IBP said in a statement. “We welcome the En Banc (full court) statement of the Honorable Supreme Court on the safety and security of lawyers and judges. It is deeply appreciated. We are pleased and grateful that a number of the suggestions and recommendations of the IBP are being acted upon,” the IBP added. In related developments, eight lawyer-senators, both from the minority and majority blocks, united Wednesday in strongly condemning the alarming number of killings of and violence against lawyers and judges in the country. In a resolution filed by eight lawyersenators, they also urged President Rodrigo Duterte to undertake the necessary steps in ensuring the safety of the members of the legal profession. The bipartisan resolution was filed by Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon, together with Senators Edgardo Angara, Pia Cayetano, Lei;a de Lima, Richard Gordon, Francisco Pangilinan, Aquilino Pimentel IV, and Francisco Tolentino. “Our lawyers play a crucial role in the administration of justice in the country, especially in representing the most marginalized members of the community,” the senators said in the resolution. 'Brazen acts' “The brazen acts of violence against lawyers send a chilling message to the members of the bench and the bar who, in the performance of their responsibilities to the society as administrators of justice, should be able to exercise their sworn duties and represent their clients or dispense justice without threats, persecution and fear for their safety and their lives,” they stressed. At the same time, two lawmakers from the House of Representatives also commended the Supreme Court for denouncing and taking initial action on the "alarming litany of lawyers, including judges, who have been killed and intimidated during the past several years."

COVID-19 as work disease pushed S By Macon Ramos-Araneta

ENATOR Risa Hontiveros on Wednesday urged the Department of Labor and Employment and the Employees Compensation Commission to declare COVID-19 as an occupational disease so that workers can avail themselves of insurance and other benefits that are demandable under the Employees Compensation Act and Employees Compensation Program.

“Workplaces and mass transportation are the new ‘hot spots’ of virus transmission,” Hontiveros said. She said the government should im-

mediately act on calls to make ‘occupational disease’ and COVID-19 to ensure that the workers who will contract the disease while at work or in transit “will

work place. She believes that this should also be compensable. The Senator said the unified workplace and community disease surveillance database, a mandate she introduced in the 2021 budgets of DOLE, Department of Interior and Local Government and Department of Health, should help ECC establish that the COVID-19 was indeed acquired at the work place. Hontiveros, who filed the Balik-Trabahong Ligtas bill in the Senate, also said that had the government prioritized the safety of workers as they went back to their work places, the cost of reviving the economy would not be as heavy and fatal to both the workers and the industry.

Priests warn of Tagle fund scam THE Pontificio Collegio Filippino (Pontifical Filipino College) in Rome on Wednesday warned the public against an unscrupulous e-mail from a hacked account purportedly soliciting money to pay for the hospital bills of former Manila archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle. The Archdiocese of Manila Office of Communications reported that Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, rector of Pontificio Collegio Filippino, informed the office regarding the e-mail being used which is under the name of a certain Dr. Ramon Ramos. “A hacked e-mail is being used to solicit money for His Eminence Luis Antonio Card. Tagle’s alleged hospitalization in UMC De La Salle, Dasmarinas City, Cavite. The hacked e-mail containing the fraudulent appeal bears the name of Dr. Ramon Ramos from Imus, Cavite (Cardinal Tagle’s hometown),” Gaston said in a statement. Gaston also confirmed that Tagle is in good health performing his tasks in his office at the Vatican concerning evange-

lization. “Please rest assured that Cardinal Tagle is doing well in Rome, carrying out his ministry at the Vatican as Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples,” Gaston added. He reported that Tagle was received by Pope Francis on Monday noon in an audience with the residents of the Pontificio Collegio Filippino during the 60th anniversary celebration of the institution. In 2015, Tagle’s personal email address was hacked. In January 2020, before the cardinal flew to the Vatican for his new assignment, a fraudulent text message also circulated asking for cash donations to buy a gift for him during a supposed farewell Mass and testimonial dinner. The public is warned and reminded that the official communications channel of Tagle is only through the Vatican and not through any private person using email or social media accounts.

By Maricel V. Cruz THE chairman of the House of Representatives’ Committee on Ways and Means has expressed gratitude to Finance Secretary Carlo Dominguez for the Department of Finance’s directive to require that registration with tax authorities be in full order before firms, especially those producing regulated products such as cigarettes, are allowed to operate in freeports and ecozones controlled by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority. Albay Rep. Joey Sarte Salceda said he was elated that the Finance department responded to his request, by way of a directive, that registration, monitoring and law enforcement for cigarettes be strengthened to combat illicit tobacco trade. In his letter to Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez who supervises PEZA, Dominguez said that the DOF-led BIR is now drafting revised guidelines which will soon require cigarette manufacturers to register with the BIR before setting up their shop in SEZs. The Finance secretary also agreed with Salceda’s proposal in a House hearing that PEZA needs to strengthen its police force to patrol SEZs for possible illicit activities. The BIR is also reviewing Revenue Regulation 9-2015 after the lawmaker called on the agency to consistently affix stamps on all cigarette packs whether for export or local consumption.

be compensated under the national policy for employment injury benefits.” Hontiveros said once Covid-19 is listed by the ECC as a work-related disease, workers will be entitled to medical benefits, compensation for lost income and even funeral services in the event that they die from the disease. This measure, according to the Senator, is very crucial especially with the rising cases and spread of new variants of COVID-19 that led to the imposition of stricter quarantine protocols in the National Capital Region, Laguna, Cavite, Bulacan and Rizal. Hontiveros also said there may be no infection in the work place but a worker may be infected in transit to and from his

‘Schools of Future’ bill approved By Maricel V. Cruz A COMMITTEE in the House of Representatives has approved the substitute bill to the proposed Public Schools of the Future in Technology Act. This as Albay Rep. Joey Sarte Salceda, chairman of the House committee on ways and means, welcomed the approval of his bill. In his sponsorship remarks on the subject, Salceda said the bill “aims to ensure that there is adequate investment in digital and technological infrastructure for our public schools.” “There shall also be courses for higher-order skills from emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, big data and other frontier technologies. Of course, these changes would require investment in teachers, which this bill also hopes to secure.” The bill would also improve the country’s basic education framework to allow expanded online learning. “Education and technology can no longer be separated. We need technology in education, and this has been made much clearer during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Salceda said.

The bill is part of Salceda’s Comprehensive Education Reform Agenda, which the Albay solon says has the backing of the chairman of the Committee on Basic Education, Rep. Roman Romulo (Pasig, Lone District). Romulo also sponsored the PSOFT Act with Salceda during the budget committee hearing. The budget committee approved the provision which mandates that the Department of Education, Department of Information and Communication Technology and Philippine Space Agency will immediately include in their respective programs the implementation of this Act, the funding of which will be included in the annual General Appropriations Act. Salceda said education reforms are critical especially as the country is facing an expanding skills gap. “The global economy has become skills-based and highly interconnected. Most of global wealth is now informationbased. In a presentation I delivered to the Committee on Higher and Technical Education, I argued that knowledge is now the wealth of nations. Our citizens will now have to be able to go toe-to-toe with citizens from other countries,” Salceda said.

Urban Poor body urges Interior to postpone demolitions By Rio N. Araja THE Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor is urging the Department of Interior and Local Government to continuously implement Memorandum Circular 2020-068 or the postponement of administrative demolitions and evictions. Chairperson and chief executive Alvin Feliciano, in a

letter, said any demolition is not timely since the livelihood of the urban poor community has been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. He said the urban poor sector need housing even more, especially with a significant increase in the number of COVID-19 cases. “We ask the DILG as well as other agencies to focus on assisting, alternative

shelters, resettlement sites and relocation for these informal settler families because that is what they need the most,” he said. “As the number of cases increases and there are new variants of the virus, I would like to advance to focus more on measures that are more practical, appropriate and effective methods, and not the ones that will make their experience more difficult.”

Feliciano said the interest and safety of the poor is their priority. Last year, the DILG issued the memorandum circular to ensure the safety of the marginalized sector and the suppression of COVID-19. But last March 12, 2021, the DILG withdrew the memorandum circular due to the increase in the number of informal settler families staying in dangerous areas.

IN BRIEF BI probes trafficking of women to Syria scheme Panel OKs bill doubling seniors’ social pension A MEASURE proposing to double the amount of social pension for senior citizens from the current P500 to P1,000 hurdled the committee level at the House of Representatives. During a hearing on Wednesday, the House Committee on Appropriations approved the still unnumbered substitute bill that seeks to amend Republic Act 9994 or the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010 and grant additional benefits to senior citizens. The social pension refers to a noncontributory monetary grant from the government to support the daily subsistence and medical needs of senior citizens, which shall amount to P1,000 per month once the bill is enacted into law. Under the bill, the Department of Social Welfare and Development shall be mandated to prepare a roster of individuals who are eligible for the monthly social pension based on a central database which includes the census of population and housing and a compilation of the beneficiaries of all pension providers. The measure also proposes that the amount and coverage of the social= pension program be reviewed every two years after its enactment into law. The implementation, distribution, and management of the social pension shall be transferred from the DSWD to the National Commission on Senior Citizens.

DAR eyes more ex-rebels as CARP beneficiaries THE Department of Agrarian Reform is eyeing more rebel-returnees to become beneficiaries of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program. DAR Secretary John Castriciones said efforts to win back rebels is gaining more ground while the government intensifies its distribution of agricultural lands. He said the inclusion of rebelreturnees as farmer-beneficiaries could help resolve their grievances and put an end to the five-decadeold insurgency problem. Over 500,000 hectares of agricultural lands under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law would be distributed, while 230,000 hectares of government-owned lands would be devoted for agriculture under President Rodrigo Duterte’s Executive Order No. 75. On March 19, DAR distributed to 1,573 agrarian reform beneficiaries a total of 2,335.31 hectares of agricultural lands that were spread across the five provinces in Eastern Visayas. Come April, another group of rebel-returnees in Nueva Vizcaya shall receive their shares of farm lots “to indicate that the government is serious in winning the sympathy of landless farmers and bringing back the rebels to the fold of law.” Rio N. Araja

THE immigration bureau said Wednesday it has launched an investigation into allegations that some of its officers were involved in the trafficking of 44 women to work in Syria. A Senate inquiry into the human trafficking scheme has been told that women using tourist visas traveled from the Philippines to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates where they had been promised work. They were “locked up inside a dark and dirty dormitory and were made to sleep on the floor,” Senator Risa Hontiveros, who is spearheading the inquiry, said previously. After their 30-day visas expired, they were forced to go to Damascus where they were

sold to employers for as much as $10,000. “Our immigration officers seem to be sending our women into slavery,” Hontiveros said last week. Dozens fled to the Philippine embassy in the Syrian capital “due to harsh working conditions,” the Foreign Affairs department said last month. It has repatriated at least six of the undocumented workers after securing exit visas for them. “I am disappointed and frustrated about the alleged involvement of BI personnel in these nefarious activities,” immigration chief Jaime Morente told the Senate inquiry, according to a statement released Wednesday.

At least 28 immigration officers were under investigation over their alleged involvement in the scheme, he said. “As already proven in the past, we will not hesitate to make them face the harshest penalties,” Morente said. Deep poverty in the country has for decades driven Filipinos to seek higher paying jobs abroad. Millions currently work legally and illegally in a wide range of jobs overseas. The money they send home is a lifeline for their families but advocacy groups have highlighted the social cost of migration, tearing families apart and making Filipinos vulnerable to abuse.

A Philippine Airlines Boeing 777 aircraft carried the CoronaVac doses from Beijing. “This is considered a milestone flight for PAL as it marks the flag carrier’s first airlift of COVID-19 vaccines to Manila from an international hub and makes PAL the first local carrier to fetch and carry home much-needed vaccines for our country,” PAL spokesperson Cielo Villaluna said. On Monday (March 29) PAL will again send an all-cargo flight to bring the first batch of one million CoronaVac jabs bought from Sinovac. Vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. said inn addition to the one million doses of CoronaVac donated by the Chinese government (600,000 in February and 400,000 yesterday), the government procured another one million doses from Sinovac. Meanwhile, more than half a million vaccine jabs have been administered in the country, the Department of Health said. Of the 1,125,600 available doses (600,000 from Sinovac and 525,600 from AstraZeneca), more than 98 percent have been distributed to vaccination sites. Metro Manila has received the largest bulk of doses, with 279,870, followed by Central Visayas, with 110,760. Metro Manila, however, has only used close to 60 percent of its 1st dose allocations The second dose for the Sinovac vaccine should be administered after four weeks, while AstraZeneca should be between one to three months later.

CA confirms new Comelec exec, 5 ambassadors THE bicameral Commission on Appointments yesterday confirmed the nominations of a Commission on Elections executive, five ambassadors, Defense and Foreign Affairs officials, and 33 senior officers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. The CA, led by Senate President Vicente Sotto III, upheld the appointment of Aimee Ferolino-Ampoloquio as Comelec commissioner. Ampoloquio replaced retired commissioner Al Parreño and will serve until February 2027. During the panel hearing, Minority Leader Franklin Drilon asked Ampoloquio on how the poll body plans to meet its target for registered new and reactivated voters in the next six months given the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. She said the Comelec remains committed to registering 7 million applicants consisting of four million new voters and three million for reactivation. Meanwhile, AFP chief of staff Gen. Cirilito Sobejana led the military officials whose promotions were confirmed by the bicameral body. “I witnessed firsthand the kind of leadership, professionalism and diligence that Gen. Sobejana is known for. He’s a valued partner in the peace process and we all appreciate that,” said Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri. Macon Ramos-Araneta

Carpio: ‘Absentee’ Pacquiao not fit for presidency

By Rey E. Requejo and Macon Ramos-Araneta 1SAMBAYAN lead convenor retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said Senator Manny Pacquiao lacks the competence to become the next president of the Philippines. Carpio, who launched last week a broad coalition of democratic forces to come up with the opposition’s single slate for president, vice president and senators in the 2022 national elections, even criti-

cized Pacquiao’s poor attendance in legislative sessions. “As congressman, Pacquiao was the number one absentee—he was the topnotcher in absences in Congress. As senator, he again topped—he was number one in absences,” Carpio said. Carpio earlier said Pacquiao and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte are not among those being eyed by 1Sambayan to become the standard bearer of the opposition. “That basic qualification—competence -- is not there,” Carpio said.

Pacquiao, for his part, appealed to Carpio and the public in general to give him a chance to prove himself. “I also want the public, especially those saying that I have no right (to run for President) to give me a chance,” he said. “As far as I know, I almost have no absences in my job in the Senate this 18th Congress. I only have four absences. (And) I have been absent (when I was still a congressman) not because I want to but because I need to. I needed to go to my district,” he added.

A LANDMARK study revealed the complex shared origins, inter-relatedness, and genetic diversity of the Filipino people. Taking advantage of the latest advances in genomics and computational biology, a team of researchers investigated into the Filipino’s DNA and looked into 2.3 million molecular DNA markers that were known to differ between various populations. Markers from more than 1,000 individuals representing 115 Philippine cultural communities were comprehensively analyzed. “This finally gives us a clearer picture of who we are as Filipinos, where we came from, and our sense of relatedness,” said Carlo Ebeo, Board of Trustee member of the National Museum who was involved in the study.

It was revealed that through time, the Philippines was inhabited by at least five major waves of human migration: starting with Northern and Southern Negritos as the first Filipinos, then followed by Manobo, Sama, and Cordilleran-related populations. The latter three major waves happened around 15 to 7 thousand years ago, coinciding with the major geographic changes in the region that was brought about by climate change. These include the inundation of the Sunda landmass as well as the loss land bridge between Taiwan and southern China. It was previously thought that the search for new arable lands by expanding farmer populations was the main reason for driving population migrations, such as the dispersal Austronesian-speaking groups into the Philippines.

China, EU face off over Uyghur ‘abuses’ P

ARIS—France, Germany and other EU nations called in Chinese ambassadors on Tuesday to protest at sanctions imposed by Beijing targeting their citizens, as China and Europe faced off over claims of rights abuses against China’s Muslim Uyghur minority.

‘Big Wet’ ends, 8m Aussies still need rescuing WINDSOR, Australia—Rescue teams raced emergency supplies to flood-hit Australians Wednesday, as trapped residents waited for stillswollen rivers to ebb, so the long, hard clean-up can begin. Eight million people in Australia’s most populous state New South Wales woke to brilliant blue skies for the first time in a week, as a torrential downpour that has been dubbed the “Big Wet” finally ceased. But across the vast flood zone thousands of homes and other properties remained underwater, many communities were still isolated and police reported the first fatality linked to the disaster. Police said they discovered the remains of a man trapped in his car in floodwaters in Sydney’s northwest. He was not immediately identified. Since the flooding began last week, emergency services have responded to more than 11,000 calls for help, rescuing at least 950 people from floodwaters. But the focus has now shifted to ferrying in food, medical supplies and other essentials and transporting out those in urgent need. Among them was 56-year-old Di Smith, who hours after receiving a cancer diagnosis needed to reach a hospital. She was on her farm northwest of Sydney with a pig, a goat, chickens, six alpacas and a handful of dogs when the floods hit earlier in the week. Three bridges were washed out and a landslide blocked the main road out. “There’s thousands of people over there isolated,” she told AFP. She was ferried out by the State Emergency Service. “I’d have been absolutely lost without them,” she said. “They’re all volunteers, absolutely amazing.” AFP

Death of girl, 7, triggers fresh Myanmar outrage YANGON—The shooting death of a seven-year-old girl in her own home triggered fresh outrage at Myanmar’s military crackdown on Wednesday, with at least 20 children reported killed since the junta took charge last month. The regime has unleashed a deadly wave of violence as it struggles to quell nationwide protests against the February 1 ouster and arrest of civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The 75-year-old Nobel laureate has a court hearing scheduled Wednesday as she faces a series of criminal charges that could see her permanently barred from political office. There was chaos overnight in Man-

dalay with barricades burning, arrests, homes raided by security forces, beatings and machine guns ringing out over multiple neighbourhoods, local media reported. Three people were killed on Tuesday including Khin Myo Chit, 7, shot dead at her home in Mandalay, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), a local monitoring group. AFP has yet to independently verify the girl’s death. Aid group Save the Children and AAPP both say that at least 20 people aged under 18 have been killed in the crackdown. “We are horrified that children continue to be among the targets of these fatal

Netanyahu claims Israel poll victory anew JERUSALEM—Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed victory following Israel’s fourth election in less than two years but the deeply divisive leader may again struggle to form a governing majority. Netanyahu, Israel’s longest serving premier, had hoped that Tuesday’s vote would finally allow him to unite a right-wing

coalition behind him, after three inconclusive elections since 2019. He campaigned on a worldleading coronavirus vaccination effort that has already inoculated roughly half of Israel’s roughly nine million people, a pace envied by much of the world. Projections based on exit polls from Israel’s three leading broadcasters, which could change, all

show Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud winning the most seats in Israel’s 120-seat parliament, the Knesset. If the projections reflect the final results expected later this week, Likud could win 30 or 31 seats. Adding Likud’s hawkish, religious allies, the pro-Netanyahu camp could control more than 50 seats. AFP

Myanmar’s junta on Tuesday defended its seven-week crackdown, insisting it would not tolerate “anarchy”. AAPP has verified 275 deaths since the coup, but warns the toll could be higher, and says more than 2,800 people have been detained.AFP

Nokor fired 2 missiles in 1st test under new US regime WASHINGTON—Nor th Korea fired two missiles just days after a visit to the region by the top US defense and diplomatic officials, the White House and Seoul said, in Pyongyang’s first launch since Joe Biden’s inauguration. The nuclear-armed North has been biding its time since the new US administration took office, not even officially acknowledging its existence until last week. Washington is reviewing its approach to North Korea after a tumultuous relation-

ship between president Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, which went from trading insults and threats of war to a diplomatic bromance and several meetings, but made no substantive progress towards denuclearizing the North. Two short-range, non-ballistic missiles were fired on Sunday, US administration officials said Tuesday, but downplayed them as “common” military testing and said they would not block Washington’s efforts to engage with Pyongyang. AFP

France also rebuked the Chinese envoy for “unacceptable” behaviour after he posted a series of tweets targeting French lawmakers and a researcher. The diplomatic spat erupted after the EU, Britain and Canada on Monday blacklisted four former and current officials in the Xinjiang region, while Washington, which had already sanctioned two of those officials in July 2020, extended them to the two others. The tensions come as the EU seeks to formulate a strategy on China at a time when tensions between Beijing and Washington are emerging as the world’s number one geopolitical issue. The European Union and China had in December approved “in principle” a major investment pact that Brussels hopes will open up lucrative opportunities despite concerns on human rights. China has angrily rejected the claims of a crackdown against the Uyghurs, and responded with entry bans on 10 Europeans -- including five members of the European Parliament -- as well as two EU bodies and two think-tanks. - ‘Exceeded the limits’ In France, China’s ambassador Lu Shaye took aim at French lawmakers hoping to visit Taiwan, which is claimed by Beijing, as well as Antoine Bondaz, a China specialist at the Foundation for Strategic Research (FRS) think-tank. In Twitter posts, Lu derided Bondaz as a “little thug,” a “crazed hyena” and “ideological troll” with “anti-Chinese” stances after Bondaz complained about Chinese pressure on French lawmakers hoping to visit Taiwan. “The embassy’s methods, and the tone of its public comments, were completely unacceptable and exceeded all the limits commonly accepted by any embassy in the world,” a French foreign ministry official, who asked not to be named, said after Lu appeared Tuesday.

IN BRIEF

BRAZZAVILLE—The Republic of Congo’s veteran president, Denis Sassou Nguesso, has been re-elected with 88.57 percent of the vote, according to provisional results released Tuesday. Sassou Nguesso, 77, has been in power for an accumulated 36 years, first taking the helm of the central African state in 1979. His landslide first-round victory, announced by the interior minister citing figures from the electoral commission, had been widely expected. Sunday’s ballot had been boycotted by the main opposition and overshadowed by the death from Covid of Sassou Nguesso’s only major rival, Guy-Brice Parfait Kolelas, 61, who garnered 7.84 percent of the vote. Turnout was measured at 67.55 percent. One of the world’s longest-serving rulers, Sassou Nguesso has long been accused by critics of authoritarian rule and turning a blind eye to corruption, poverty and inequality despite the country’s oil wealth.

Market up again; URC, ICTSI lead gainers T HE stock market rose Wednesday on continued bargain hunting, with select issues posting gains after recent sharp losses.

The Philippine Stock Exchange Index added 50.66 points, or 0.8 percent, to 6,497.01 points on a value turnover of P21.3 billion. Losers, however, edged gainers, 98 to 90, with 64 issues unchanged.

Universal Robina Corp. of the Gokongwei Group, the biggest snack food maker, advanced 4.1 percent to P127, while International Container Terminal Services Inc., the largest port operator and owned by tycoon Enrique Razon Jr., climbed 2.5 percent to P126.50. PLDT Inc., the biggest telecommunications firm, increased 2 percent to P1,250, but Jollibee Foods Corp., the largest fastfood chain, fell 2.3 percent to P176.90.

Intel to spend $20b on two new chip plants in Arizona SAN FRANCISCO—US chip titan Intel said Tuesday it will invest $20 billion in building two new plants in Arizona as part of a plan to ramp up production in the United States and Europe. The move comes as a global chip shortage has countries and companies in those regions looking to reduce reliance on plants in Asia for semiconductors, which are used in a growing array of products such as cars. “Intel’s investment will help to preserve US technology innovation and leadership,

strengthen US economic and national security, and protect and grow thousands of high-tech, high-wage American jobs,” Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said in a statement. Intel chief executive Pat Gelsinger announced the investment during a webcast about the company’s strategy, as it faces pressure to come up with ways to fend off fierce competition. “Intel is the only company with the depth and breadth of software, silicon and platforms, packaging, and process

with at-scale manufacturing customers can depend on for their next-generation innovations,” Gelsinger said. He stressed that Intel intends to continue doing most of its chip making at its own plants while also building on relationships with third-party manufacturers for some of its product line. As part of a vision to be a major producer of chips in the United States and Europe, Intel is establishing a new manufacturing unit called “Foundry Services,” according to the Silicon Valley company.

Oil prices plunge on lower demand prospects as Germany tightens up NEW YORK—Oil prices nosedived Tuesday on lower demand prospects as Europe’s biggest economy Germany said it would reimpose strict coronavirus containment measures as it struggles, along with other EU nations, to roll out vaccines. European stocks ended the day mostly lower, as did US stocks, as renewed fears of spreading COVID-19 overtook hopes of a swift reopening to the world’s largest economy. On currency markets, the Turkish lira stabilized a day after plunging in reaction to news that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sacked the country’s market-friendly central bank chief, raising concerns about another round of financial turbulence. Germany will meanwhile enter a strict shutdown for five days over Easter amid surging virus rates, Chancellor Angela Merkel and regional leaders agreed Tuesday. Neighboring France should be vaccinating “morning, noon and evening,” President Emmanuel Macron said as he tackles criticism that the COVID-19 immunization drive has been too slow. France is facing a third wave of infections but is lagging behind many Western countries in terms of the number of people vaccinated. “Oil has tumbled today over growing

concerns about European demand as tighter restrictions in countries is likely to be a setback in regards to reopening their economies,” said market analyst David Madden at CMC Markets UK. He noted that little over two weeks ago crude struck 14-month highs as OPEC and its allies decided keep most of their production cuts in place. “Now it seems that several large economies in Europe might not experience economic lift-off for a few more months, so dealers have been dumping oil as a result,” he said. Stocks prices of oil companies and airlines, which could lose the crucial summer travel season in Europe if cases continue to rise, suffered. Across the Atlantic, the focus was on the first joint congressional testimony by Federal Reserve boss Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Powell again downplayed the risk of a sustained spike in inflation, after markets were rattled by a sharp rise in US Treasury yields in recent weeks amid bets that the economic recovery forecast for this year would push prices up. Markets fear that a spike in inflation could force the Fed to raise interest rates from their rock-bottom level, even as central bank policymakers don’t expect to do so until at least 2024. AFP

while also guarding against any emerging threats to the BSP’s price and financial stability objectives,” Diokno said. Diokno said that consistent with the BSP’s data-driven approach to policymaking, the timing of the exit of monetary policy measures would primarily depend on the evolution of domestic factors, particularly the outlook for inflation and economic growth. “At present, amid a manageable inflation environment, subdued demand pressures, and within-target inflation expectations, the BSP has scope to preserve monetary policy support to the

economy to help strengthen overall demand and shore up market confidence,” Diokno said. The Monetary Board cut the overnight borrowing rate by a total of 200 basis points last year to a record-low of 2 percent to support the sagging economy impacted by the pandemic. The gross domestic product contracted by 9.5 percent in 2020, the worst since the end of World War 2. The BSP also cut the reserve requirement ratio of banks by 200 bps to calm the markets and support bank lending to both retail and corporate sectors.

CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK

PUREGOLD Price Club Inc., the grocery chain operator owned by tycoon Lucio Co., said Wednesday net income rose 18.9 percent in 2020 to P8.05 billion from P6.77 billion in 2019. The company said it benefitted from higher consumer spending and panic buying amid the pandemic. Puregold said in a disclosure to the stock exchange unaudited consolidated net sales increased 9.2 percent last year to P168.63, higher than the company’s earlier target of a 4- to 5-percent growth. “Our company has achieved a record-breaking year in 2020 despite a lot of challenges due to COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot achieve this without the support and commitment of our suppliers and employees on providing the best product and service to our customers,”

said Puregold chairman Lucio Co. “We are committed to driving sustainable growth in 2021 through continued store expansions and innovations in grocery retailing,” Co said. The company’s flagship brand Puregold accounted for 73 percent of the revenues, while 27 percent came from S&R Membership warehouse clubs and S&R New York Style Pizza stores. Puregold stores registered same-store sales growth of 2.4 percent in 2020, while S&R registered a SSSG of 8.7 percent in the same period. Unaudited consolidated income from operations reached P13.4 billion in 2020, up by 17.3 percent from P11.4 billion in 2019. Puregold had 469 stores nationwide as of end-2020. These included 403 Puregold stores, 20 S&R membership shopping warehouse outlets and 46 S&R New York Style QSR.

DoubleDragon’s REIT closes flat in market debut THE share of DDMP REIT, the real estate investment trust company of businessman Edgar Sia II, ended flat in its stock market debut after a P14.7-billion initial public offering. DDMP, which is primarily into office leasing business, sold 5.942 billion common shares with an over-allotment of 594.2 million share at P2.25 apiece. Share price opened at P2.26 and hit a high of P2.40 before closing at P2.25. The bellwether Philippine Stock Exchange Index rose 0.8 percent on Wednesday. Philippine Stock Exchange president Ramon Monzon said DDMP REIT attracted strong interest from retail investors with a record 12,074

small local investors participating in the IPO. The company’s listing was pushed back by a day because of the heavy volume of subscribers in the maiden share offering. “Listing during a pandemic is definitely not a walk in the park, but we believe this is our share of also promoting a more inclusive economy, and that what we can achieve together now during these challenging, never-been-chartered territories, brought about by this pandemic, despite those challenges, your DDMPR team will still continue work hard to lift the company to greater heights while further solidifying its foundation year on year,” Sia, who is also the chairman of DDMP REIT, said.

IN BRIEF

Skyway Extension completed this month

SAN Miguel Corp. on Wednesday said it expects to complete the northbound section of the Skyway Extension project by the end of March this year. “I’m happy to announce that soon, we can open the northbound section of the Skyway Extension for our motorists coming from the south. This almost four-kilometer, three-lane expansion will have an additional capacity of 4,500 vehicles per hour, significantly easing congestion and allowing motorists to bypass the Alabang viaduct. Those coming from SLEX or MCX can go up the ramp at Susana Heights, and directly go to Makati, Manila, Skyway 3, all the way to Quezon City and North Luzon Expressway,” SMC president Ramon Ang, said. “You can be at NLEX in 25-30 minutes instead of two to three hours, and bypass the usual traffic chokepoints such as Alabang, Magallanes, Edsa. This will be a big relief to so many motorists and will do a lot to ease traffic in southern Metro Manila, including on public roads leading to SLEX and Skyway,” he added. Darwin G. Amojelar

Common rail station on schedule—DOTr

THE Department of Transportation said it is on track to complete the construction of the common station for the four rail lines in Metro Manila by December this year. The agency said the overall progress of the P2.8-billion Common Station Project now stands at 48.48 percent, after more than seven years of delay. Scheduled to be completed on December 2021, the Common Station features a 13,700-square meter concourse area which will seamlessly interconnect the rail lines of LRT-1, MRT-3, MRT-7, and the muchawaited Metro Manila Subway. “This is a long overdue transport infrastructure project that would have considerably eased mobility of commuters in Metro Manila, particularly along the main transit routes, from Baclaran to Monumento to the entire length of EDSA,” the DOTr said. “And with the forthcoming MRT-7 and the Metro Manila Subway also being part of the loop, travel to Bulacan via Commonwealth, and from Valenzuela to NAIA will be faster and more convenient,” it added.

Throughout March, associates can expect a variety of programs and events geared towards and featuring women, including a video series entitled “I am a Woman of SitelPH,” Leadership Lessons with Sitel Group Women, Women’s Month E-Bulletins, Women’s Health Webinars and the launch of WELead—a women employee resource group focused on women leadership. To learn more about being a woman in Sitel® Philippines, three women leaders share their thoughts on what it is like being a woman leader in Sitel Philippines, and how other women can achieve success in the workplace. “Sitel Group has made me feel empowered,” said Chie Fortuna, vice president for operations of Sitel Philippines. “The company has always advocated leadership equality and they walk the talk. I’m forever grateful for the trust and experience that Sitel has given me.”

Century ventures into refrigerated food CENTURY Pacific Food Inc., one of the country’s leading branded food companies, is venturing into the refrigerated food business with the P650-million acquisition of Pacific Meat Company Inc. CNPF said in a disclosure to the stock exchange PMCI, an emerging player in the large refrigerated food category, would be acquired from parent company Century Pacific Group Inc. “CNPF is looking at refrigerated food as another platform for growth and looks forward to bringing in PMCI as it has now hit scale and built out a pipeline of new products that will supplement CNPF’s. It will provide capabilities in a completely different food segment which is growing and will have synergies with the shelf-stable part of CNPF’s portfolio,” CNPF executive chairman Christopher Po said. “Moreover, as a result of this acquisition, all consumer good businesses of the Po family will consolidate into the listed CNPF, eliminating potential sources of conflict of interest and improve our overall corporate governance,” said Po. PMCI has its own manufacturing facilities, cold chain distribution and a robust innovation pipeline of refrigerated products. CNPF said net income jumped 24 percent in 2020 to P4.9 billion, as revenues increased by 18 percent to P48.3 billion. The company’s strong performance was driven by 25-percent growth in sales of the branded business which is composed of marine, meat and milk products. “We saw robust demand for our branded products all throughout 2020—beginning with a strong pre-COVID 19 performance, followed by pandemic-related demand spikes, then sustained growth to wrap up the year due largely to the essentials and staples nature of our portfolio,” Po said.

A triumph to remember for Olsim JENELYN Olsim surprised a lot of people when she scored the upset win over No. 5-ranked strawweight Maira Mazar last Friday, but it’s how she did it that won over fans. Olsim shattered fan expectations of a classic striker-versus-grappler match between the two strawweights as she showcased a complete arsenal, eventually submitting Mazar in their three-round bout at ONE: FISTS OF FURY III at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. As surprising as the result may have been for some, Olsim and Team Lakay were the least bit shocked. “That was part of our gameplan. It’s something that we worked on alongside coach Mark [Sangiao]. We’ve repeatedly worked on that submission, so I expected to submit her,” Olsim said. Olsim was so confident of her grappling skills that she was expecting a submission win as early as the opening stages. Although it didn’t happen in round one, it gave her a chance to showcase her devastating striking, which was on full display. She floored Mazar twice in the first round before peppering her with lightning-quick strikes for the duration of the match. With Mazar trying to force a takedown early in the third round, Olsim saw the chance to go for a submission —and she did exactly that, locking on a guillotine choke that forced the Evolve MMA representative to tap. “I was expecting to get that submission as early as the first round, but she was too loose, so we went back and focused on our striking. Near the end of the second round, she managed to take me down, but we still managed to land a lot of strikes in the second round,” she said. “In the third round, that was pretty much it. We mixed it up and then she attempted to go for another takedown because I was already dominating on the feet. When she shot for a takedown, I was pushed to the fence, and that’s where I pulled off the submission.” It was a victory to remember for Olsim, a win that definitely got the attention of the other players in the strawweight division. With that said, after all the delays and the countless hours she spent in training, Olsim deserves to enjoy the victory after a performance like this one. “I am very satisfied with my performance because I was able to show everything I worked for. From my striking to my submissions, I was able to apply those things,” she said.

Tokyo won’t allow advance parties, teams in Olympics By Peter Atencio

HE Philippine delegation will not be able to go to Japan early to acclimatize for the Tokyo Olympics.

This new ruling of not allowing advanced teams and parties to the games is contained in the Olympic playbook released by games’ organizers to member countries. Because of this, members of the national contingent will just head to Japan a few days before the start of their respective events. “Dati, binabalak ng Pilipinas na pumunta sa Tokyo two weeks before the games. Pero hindi na pinapayagan,” said Philippine Olympic Committee presi-

SPORTSMEN and beloved Philippine sports personalities, who passed away last year will be remembered in the coming San Miguel Corporation-Philippine Sportswriters Association Annual Awards Night. They will be honored with a posthumous recognition during the March 27 virtual rites at the TV5 Media Center. Former ambassador and basketball godfather Eduardo ‘Danding’ Cojuangco, national team coaches Januario ‘Aric’ Del Rosario and Nic Jorge, Olympians Alfonso ‘Boy’ Marquez and Orlando ‘Orly’ Bauzon, grand matriarch of Philippine boxing Laura Elorde, and the PSA’s Teddyvic Melendres, former sports and senior news desk editor of the Philippine Daily Inquirer and PSA president from 2009-2011, were among the prominent ones who passed away in 2020. A moment of silence and a special video presentation will be shown in their memory during the early part of the program presented by San Miguel Corporation and backed by the Philippine Sports Commission and Cignal TV. The first-ever virtual PSA Awards Night will be aired on March 28 over OneSports+ from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., with 1Pacman Partylist, Chooks-to-Go, and Rain or Shine as major backers.

dent Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino. Last February, the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee and the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee jointly published and distributed the first playbook of the Games. Outlined in the playbook were instructions on how organizers will keep participants safe from the coronavirus pandemic. The playbook is a resource which specifies the personal responsibilities key stakeholders must take to play their role in ensuring safe and successful Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer. Tolentino said current participants will have to be in Tokyo for less than a week. “So after your event, balik ka na.

Hindi ka na puwedeng magbabad. So in and out ka lang,” added Tolentino. There are now six qualified Filipino athletes to the Games. Boxers Nesthy Petecio and Carlo Paalam were the latest qualifiers after gaining slots through their world rankings. Petecio and Paalam joined fellow boxers Eumir Marcial and Irish Magno, who booked tickets through the AsiaOceania Olympic Qualifiers in Amman, Jordan in March, 2020. The other two athletes are pole vaulter Ernest John Obiena and gymnast Carlos Yulo. Japanese authorities are also not allowing entry into Japan for overseas spectators for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020, also due to the prevailing worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.

LOS ANGELES—Brandon Ingram scored 36 points as the New Orleans Pelicans took full advantage of LeBron James’ injury absence to pummel the Los Angeles Lakers 128-111 on Tuesday. Ingram, who was drafted by the Lakers in 2016 but traded away by the club

Riera U. Mallari, Editor; Reuel Vidal, Assistant Editor

in 2019, sent his former team sliding to defeat in a one-sided game at New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center. The Lakers were rocked on Saturday by an injury to James which has left the four-time NBA champion facing several weeks on the sidelines.

With Anthony Davis and Marc Gasol already out injured, the depleted Lakers have now lost three consecutive games to fall to fourth place in the Western Conference standings at 28-16. The Pelicans meanwhile remain in the hunt for a playoff berth after a win that sees them improve to 19-24. The Pels’ superior firepower comfortably overwhelmed the Lakers on Tuesday, with Zion Williamson complementing Ingram’s display with a 27-point effort. Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 18 points, while Kira Lewis Jr. (16 points), Jaxson Hayes (15) and New Zealander Steven Adams (12) also weighed in with double-digit contributions. Montrezl Har rell led the Lakers scoring with 18 points, with Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris adding 16 points apiece for the reigning NBA champions. Lakers coach Frank Vogel said his team must improve offensively in the

absence of James and Davis, but insisted the squad could overcome their absence. “Getting us organized offensively is probably my top priority right now,” Vogel said. “We’re staying positive. We’ve got a great belief in this group that even with LeBron and AD out we can win games down this stretch and that there’ll be a silver lining at the end of it.” Suns rising In other games Tuesday, Devin Booker scored 23 points and Deandre Ayton added a double-double as the Phoenix Suns extended their winning streak to three games with a 110-100 road win over the Miami Heat. The Suns are now in second spot in the Western Conference after improving to 29-13, two games back from leaders Utah. The fifth-placed Denver Nuggets meanwhile are closing in on the fourthplaced Lakers after a 110-99 win over the Orlando Magic in Florida. AFP

Saliva test game-changer in rugby’s fight vs concussion LONDON—A new “game-changing” saliva test could provide quicker and more accurate treatment of concussion in rugby union, according to a study published on Tuesday. Concussion has become a major concern within the contact sport as fears grow about the impact of its increasing ferocity on elite-level players. Former England international Dan Scarbrough, diagnosed with early onset dementia, said Monday he had joined a case involving 2003 World Cup-winner Steve Thompson. They allege several rugby authorities, including World Rugby, the sport’s global governing body, failed to protect players from the risks of concussion. It is an issue for several sports who fear costly litigation similar to that which has engulfed American football. The gridiron game has seen multimillion dollar payouts made to former players who, unlike their rugby counterparts, were wearing helmets that protected their skull but still suffered severe brain injuries. However, the SCRUM (Study of Concussion in Rugby Union through MicroRNAs) paper published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine says that, for the first time, specific salivary molecules known as biomarkers can indicate if a player has been concussed. Significantly, the saliva test shows both the immediate impact of any trauma and its effect several days later—something which may also benefit amateur rugby, where it is rare to have the same extensive touchline medical support as in the professional game. Tuesday’s paper follows a threeyear programme conducted by the University of Birmingham in central England and involving England’s governing Rugby Football Union. Biomarker analysis carried out on 1,028 professional men’s players in England’s top two leagues—the Premiership and Championship—ound the test to be 96 percent accurate in diagnosing concussion. “What’s really exciting is we have found a very accurate way of identifying brain trauma and in saliva, which is non-invasive,” said Professor Antonio Belli of the University of Birmingham, one of the study’s authors. “The next stage will be to make it faster and portable and instantly available to the doctor on the bench, but we are not there yet.” The findings will be shared at next week’s World Rugby welfare symposium, which is expected to designate two more elite competitions for further trials.

Coffin-maker kickflips his caskets into skateboards BANGKOK—From a final resting place for the dead to a gnarly way to land a trick; a Thai coffin-maker is affixing Buddhist emblems to the dismantled walls of his caskets, and transforming them into skateboards. As the popularity of board sports exploded in Thailand, and the price of a skateboard skyrocketed, Anusorn Yungyearn decided to breathe new life into some of the wooden caskets he had lying around his Bangkok workshop. “I want to give the kids who don’t really have much chance in life an opportunity to skate,” said the 30-year-old. “I also don’t want them to ask their parents to buy one for them since the cost of it is really high.” In the past year hordes of young Thais have taken up skateboarding and surf-skating—likely a consequence of most social spaces like bars and gyms being closed for months at a time because of pandemic restrictions. Today, bands of young skaters can be seen cruising through Bangkok’s historic quarter and its universities’ open spaces. Anusorn’s warehouse has coffins with brocade designs, golden lattice work and even holographic stick-ons. But for his boards, he has decided to keep it comparatively simple— gleaming white with golden trimming on the bottom. “The procedure of making these boards is almost exactly like making the coffins,” he told AFP, adding that he sticks a signature twist to the boards. “We put the Thai angel emblem and the Thai traditional border on the board’s edge.” The first 10 he flips from coffins to skateboards will be donated to lower-income families—though he admitted getting them right will be tough. “Some kids have never ever heard of a skateboard before so we want to make these casket skateboards as close to the real boards as possible. “That way they could play and smile a little bit from all the fun.” AFP

Injury forces Murray out of Miami tilt; Venus falls

IAMI—Andy Murray withdrew from the Miami Open on Tuesday after suffering a “freak” groin injury which ﬂared over the weekend.

The three-time Grand Slam winner, who had been granted a wildcard into the event as he works his way back from injury, arrived in Miami last week and trained without a problem on Thursday and Friday. However the 33-year-old Scot woke early Saturday with pain in his groin which left him struggling to walk. Although Murray said the problem had since improved, he was not fit enough to play. “I have no idea what I did,” Murray told the Miami Herald. “It’s one of those freak things. Each day it has gotten progressively better, but it’s not enough. I have not practiced since Friday.” Murray, a two-time winner in Miami and finalist in 2012 and 2015, could not hide his disappointment at his latest injury setback. “I am really gutted,” Murray said. “This

is a place I have done so much training over the years. It’s like my second home. “Last time I played here was 2016 and so much has happened. In 2017 I had an elbow issues, last few years various issues with my hip. Last year, the day before I was supposed to travel here COVID stopped the tennis tour. “Miami’s been a place that has given me a lot, but this just wasn’t meant to be.” Murray is one of several star names to have withdrawn from the Miami event. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic all pulled out of the men’s draw while former world number one Serena Williams withdrew on Sunday. Meanwhile, Venus Williams crashed out of the Miami Open on Tuesday, losing her first round game in straight sets to Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan. Diyas advanced to a second round meeting with Swiss 11th seed Belinda

Bencic after completing a 6-2, 7-6 (12/10) victory in 1hr 28min on the Hard Rock Stadium’s Grandstand court. The round of 128 defeat is the 40-year-old Williams’ earliest exit in Miami since she made her debut in the tournament in 1997. After Diyas raced through the first set, Williams fought back in the second, breaking her Kazakh opponent’s serve in the 12th game to force a tie break. Williams saved three match points to extend the tie break but handed Diyas a fourth match point with a double fault which she converted to complete victory. “I’m very happy with the win, especially against such a legend as Venus—I looked up to her when I was little,” the 27-year-old from Almaty said. Diyas set up the victory behind an accurate service game, winning 61 percent of her first serve points, and varying play cleverly to pull Williams around the court. Tuesday marked the start of main draw action at this year’s tournament, which is being held after the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out the 2020 event. AFP

NBL, WNBL call off plans to open season after Holy Week PUTTING safety as its utmost priority, the NBL and the WNBL have decided to postpone its plans to open the 2021 season after the Holy Week due to the rising cases of COVID-19 in the country. The NBL has already formed an ad-hoc committee, members of which are team executives also holding public office in their respective LGUs, to monitor the situation in the next two weeks after Metro Manila, Bulacan, Rizal, and Laguna were placed under general community quarantine from March 22 to April 4. After the two-week quarantine, the NBL will then plot its next move on how to proceed with the 2021 season. Initially, management is eyeing to hold games outside the National Capital Region, specifically in low-risk MGCQ areas, under a closed-circuit set-up. Under the plan, teams will only travel from home to venue under strict guidelines. The league will also appoint two venues, one each from the north and south of NCR, for the games with testing, symptoms monitoring, and tracking supervised by the Games and Amusements Board as part of regular compliance. “We want to stress that the safety of the teams and the players is our top priority before we push through with the season opening,” said NBL/WNBL chairman Celso Mercado. “We are monitoring the current situation and the ad-hoc committee agreed to meet after April 4 to re-evaluate plans for the opening,” said NBL/WNBL executive vice president Rhose Montreal. The WNBL is set to hold its firstever season after gaining professional status by GAB, with teams already starting its build-up following a player draft process held last February. Following its successful staging of the bubble finals last year, the NBL is already looking at 12 teams for the 2021 season, its first year as a professional homegrown league. NBL/WNBL commissioner Edward Aquino, meanwhile, said some teams from the MGCQ low risk areas were already issued an approval by the GAB to practice following inspection of their venues, but their trainings have also been ordered to be called off for the meantime. “The league finds it unfair for teams in GCQ since they cannot proceed because of the restriction under JAO and surges in cases,” Aquino said.

Program to keep kids active, sports-oriented launched MILO Philippines found another way to reach out and spread the good message to the country’s youth in this time of the pandemic with its new campaign “Mula Ngayon, Hanggang Ngayon— Tuloy ang Pagiging Champion.” Milo’s brand theme for 2021 aims to show parents that they can still help their kids jumpstart and propel their champion dreams. “It’s very challenging how to keep our children active while staying at home, and this campaign will ensure that there are ways,” said Milo Sports Manager Lester Castillo in Tuesday’s Philippine Sportswriters Association online Forum. The latest campaign comes off the heels of Milo’s umbrella online sports program —the MILO Home Court, which served as the brand’s breakthrough initiative to pivot its signature on-ground sports activities to online. “It’s a combination of physical activity and studying, and helps nourish the kids’

THE BOTTOM LINE LITO CINCO I WILL be very direct and to the point regarding our participation in the 31st Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam later this year. Two years ago this time, I was really looking forward to the event because we were hosting it and there were the innumerable advantages of being hosts, such as we can send a big delegation, we have a big say in the events to be held, the Philippine Sports Commission had the funding needed to train our athletes abroad, plus the home crowd support. We were in a fight for the top position

dreams for success,” added Nestle Philippines senior vice president Veronica Cruz during the forum presented by San Miguel Corporation, Milo, Amelie Hotel Manila, Braska Restaurant, and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation. To ensure that the campaign reaches a broader base, Milo Philippines has tapped products of the Milo BEST Academy, led by former basketball superstar Jerry Codinera and rising star Ella Fajardo, who plays for Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey in the US NCAA Division 1. “The Milo program is always about perseverance, discipline and good attitude,” said Codinera in the forum powered by SMART with Upstream Media as webcast partner. “Teaching kids at a young age makes them absorb it more. And what’s most important is the attention to detail, discipline, leadership, teamwork,” said the 18-year-old Fajardo. Like its previous campaigns, Milo has

No high expectations in SEA Games against Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, and our athletes delivered from start to finish, plucking one gold after the other in the 56 events contested, that it was a foregone conclusion that the overall championship was ours. With 149 gold, 118 silver and 120 bronze medals, we were on top of the heap, and everything was all right with the world. Fast forward to the present and with a snap of a finger, everything has changed. There is a global COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in different levels of lockdowns, from the strictest in midMarch to a more relaxed level depending on where you are. Unfortunately, even as I was writing this piece, there seems to be a second wave of virus in-

fections with the current surge of cases. During the pandemic, sports was one of the hardest hit here, with cancelled events like the UAAP, the NCAA, volleyball and basketball though the PBA did manage to hold a bubble conference in Clark. There were also no regular training for the athletes, except individual workouts at home, no training abroad, reduced allowances of athletes following the decrease in PSC funds and so on and so forth. It’s nobody’s fault, a force majeure situation, something we need to understand, accept and adjust as my personal philosophy goes. And me being the pragmatic person that I have always been, I accept this reality. I do not expect us to successfully defend our crown in Vietnam, I do not even see us

making it to the top three in the medal standings. I will be happy with a 4th place finish, and that will even be an uphill climb. There are only 40 events in Vietnam and we are competing in 39. The host country, of course, will stack the odds against us and the other countries. My question really, during this time of the pandemic, is can we really afford to send more than 600 athletes, as submitted by the Philippine Olympic Committee to the organizers and to PSC for funding? I will not question our participation, we should send deserving athletes who have strong chances of winning medals, but this is certainly not the time to send just for exposure of other athletes considering the difficult times. I heard the POC accepted the recommendation of the different National Sports Associations on athletes outside of the top 3 finishers in the last SEAG

in 2019 and when you do this, sorry, but things do not necessarily come up as that of meeting qualifying standards. Look at athletics with 63 athletes to be sent. In 2019, we won 11 golds but I tried searching for the number of athletes sent to compare, but I could not find it, or cycling with 39 to be sent. In 2019, we won 3 cycling golds. There will be a final screening of the athletes to be sent and I would expect a lot of lobbying by the NSAs to justify their recommendations, maybe even increase the number if ever possible. Please remember my question is on those recommended outside of the top 3 finishers, as I am just after prioritizing things both at the POC and the PSC level. Now is not the time to send an oversized delegation that can be expected to underperform. And for me, that is the bottom line.

‘Virtually Yours, Kilabotitos’

By Nickie Wang

INGER-SONGWRITER Ogie Alcasid and actor-musician Ian Veneracion are headlining a digital concert titled Virtually Yours, Kilabotitos. The show streams on ktx.ph tomorrow night at 8:00. Originally scheduled in March 2020, the concert was postponed due to the pandemic. Now they are ready to perform together online as they take a trip down memory lane with songs that will touch your heart from the ‘60s to the ‘90s. With two different singing styles and two different personalities, the show promises to present Ogie and Ian as one in music and humor. Virtually Yours, Kilabotitos will showcase their voices and wit. “What’s good about this concert, you can share this show with your family members or friends. With one ticket, you can have as many as 10 people watching. There’s watching, there’s reminiscing, there’s Ian and I sharing our gwapo-ness and I’m hoping that people will embrace this kind of virtual experience,” Ogie told Manila Standard Entertainment in a virtual interview. “Think of it as a musical sitcom, setting a trend for experiencing a live concert in the new normal. We will highlight the music of the ‘Tito’ era with hits from the ‘60s to the ‘90s from icons like the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Hall and Oates, and the Police, to name a few,” Ogie added. The duo will also highlight their individual expertise in the keyboard and guitar. They added that nothing much has been changed in their original playlist. “The concert was originally a two-night concert so we would like to give our audience the same kind of experience. We’re doing the concert in an actual performance venue unlike other

digital shows,” Ian shared. The concert will be available worldwide. Tickets are available at ktx.ph and priced at P1,200 (full concert plus a documentary on the making of the show).

Virtually Yo u r s , Kilabotitos is presented by Ateam and Frontrow. Gold partner is Katinko, with silver partners PLDT, Pascual Lab, Potencee, C-Lium, Ascof Lagundi, Oracare and Conzace. Special thanks to BugisPH and Fernandos Bakeshop.

Ricky Lee conducts 12-week workshop for GMA public affairs ACCLAIMED screenwriter, playwright, and novelist Ricky Lee is in the midst of training over two dozen writers from GMA Network’s Public Affairs department. Also participating in the 12week workshop are some of the network’s executives and a pool of writers from its Entertainment Group. The in-depth workshop began last Feb. 5 with Lee sharing his talent and insights on how to craft stories for television and films that capture and move the audience. He is also helping participants develop their individual and group storylines. Lee said the idea of training a team of Public Affairs personnel was intriguing to him, “Working in News and Public Affairs, they should draw their stories from their rich reservoir of real experiences and insights, so they will have a distinct voice.” This voice is what he is now helping the group create. “I find the workshoppers to be very open and receptive, which makes the workshops very exciting and challenging at the same time,” he adds. Lee, who turns 73 years old last Friday (March 19), is considered a visionary in the Philippine TV and film industry. He has penned over 180 scripts that include Himala (1982), Salome (1981), and Brutal (1980). He has frequently collaborated with esteemed directors Lino Brocka, Ishmael Bernal, and Marilou Diaz-Abaya. He has also written several books -- among them Trip to Quiapo, which has become a must-read for aspiring scriptwriters. He is a recipient of more than 70 awards, including the 2020 Camera Obscura Artistic Excellence Award from the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP). He is a Hall of Fame awardee at the Metro Manila Film Festival 2019 and was named FDCP Film Ambassador in 2017 for winning at the 2016 International Film Festival Manhattan. He is also one of the 100 Centennial Awardees by the Cultural Center of the Philippines and was

given the Natatanging Gawad Urian Life Achievement Award (2003), Gawad CCP sa Sining para sa Literature (2015), and UP Gawad Plaridel Award for Film (2015). Lee has been giving workshops for budding scriptwriters to help them reach their full potential in the field of writing. Meanwhile, GMA Public Affairs has been producing groundbreaking and innovative shows on television. Some of its award-winning public affairs programs include Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho, Wish Ko Lang!, Imbestigador, I-Witness, Reporter’s Notebook, and The Atom Araullo Specials among many others. Recently the department has begun to produce innovative primetime drama series and is currently airing rom-com Owe My Love on GMA and timetraveling fantasy The Lost Recipe on GTV. This year, GMA Public Affairs is also set to launch the romance mystery Love You Stranger and action-adventure Lolong.

Disney delays including ‘Black Widow’ dampen movie theater hopes DISNEY delayed Black Widow and multiple other superhero films and animations Tuesday, dampening hopes of a swift recovery for US movie theaters that have only just reopened after a year’s pandemic-mandated closure. Black Widow starring Scarlett Johansson had been billed as the major spring release to entice fans back to multiplexes, which were permitted to restart at limited capacity in Los Angeles last week and New York earlier this month. It will now open July 9 -- two months later than expected -- and will be simultaneously available on the Disney+ streaming platform for home viewers, at an additional cost to subscribers. Disney, which is increasingly prioritizing streaming and has experimented with different release models during the pandemic, said the move reflects “the evolving preferences of audiences” in a market “that is beginning to

HOUSEHOLD

THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 2021

By Steph Llarena

EEL-GOOD pieces with distinct warmth and lightness that remind us of summer getaways— now that embarking on one comes with challenges—and possess other functions add life and efficiency to the household.

There’s nothing quite like a wooden dining table that transforms according to our needs, a plush bench that provides ample storage for throw pillows and linens and what have you and accents in fresh, neutral shades that allow for layering.

This summer, furniture and furnishings store Crate and Barrel offers them and more. Browse the catalog on its website or check out the following pieces in its stores at SM Aura Premier, SM Makati, or SM Megamall.

Twist Rotating Desk A versatile piece, it pivots on a round hub to serve a variety of functions and configurations: in its compact form, it’s an office desk with a drum-shaped hub with fixed shelf; expanded, it becomes an expansive executive desk or angle as a corner desk.

Zuma Expandable Dining Table In its compact form, this outdoor table’s marble-like white ceramic top is divided by a strip of matte black aluminum; when extended, it makes room for two self-storing black butterfly inserts.

Knot Rustic Dining Table This updated farmhouse-style table, made with white oak and oak veneer, features expert marquetry and a mix of dramatic cathedral and lively quartersawn graining. Its corners boast an artisanal show of inset Japanese-style joinery and a cut-out notch.

Live well, live with a purpose Steen Grey Bench Modern design, cushioned seating, and storage space under the seat— this light grey upholstered bench with matte black legs checks all the boxes.

Bari Pillows A cozy addition to couch or bed, these pillows are made with complex basketweave fabric that creates a soft and irresistible texture.

Sentina 6-inch Round Jute Braided Rug Bring that vacation vibe with a rug made of natural fiber. Ideal for entryways and other high-traffic areas, this classic piece features thick braids of jute coils that show off the fibers’ subtle color variations and provide durability.

THE uncertainty and drastic changes brought by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased interest in insurance and investment products, a survey reveals. Nearly all Filipinos who participated in the latest Manulife Asia Care Survey claimed that they have taken personal actions to improve overall health in response to COVID-19. In addition to exercising more regularly (65 percent) and shifting to a healthier diet (61 percent), other measure they have taken was to look up insurance products and services. Nine out of 10 or 87 percent of Filipino respondents expressed intention to buy new insurance in the next six months. The figure reflects the increased demand for insurance across Asia, from 62 percent in May 2020 to 71 percent in November 2020. “The lockdown has made Filipinos realize that they should prioritize their and their families’ health and financial security through life insurance,” noted Melissa Henson, Manulife Philippines chief marketing officer. With an increased interest in insurance and investment products, Manulife Philippines recently held “Invest in You,” a free financial wellness webinar hosted by James Deakin. The webinar focused on how Filipinos can protect themselves and their families from life’s uncertainties while potentially growing their money through variable unit-linked (VUL) life insurance solutions. Financial consultant Marvin Germo discussed the importance of diversifying portfolio and how VUL products can give both the “offense” and “defense” one needs when it comes to investing. “When investing, it’s important to distribute your assets to channels that would work hard for you while allowing you to enjoy the things that you love to do,” said Germo.

San Luis Terracotta Vase A lovely piece to put on the bookshelf or side table, this pitcher vase features brown speckle and painted white stripes against a backdrop of warm terracotta. Add dried flowers or put it as is.

Blanca Natural/White Rope Basketweave Made with natural raffia, dyed white and fashioned into a rope-like material, and with molded rattan frame, it offers a fresh take on the traditional basket. Use it as storage or catchall or simply a room accent.

‘Invest in You’ webinar host James Deakin (left) with financial consultant Marvin Germo and Manulife Asset Management wealth sales head Zed Matubis.

He continued, “VUL products give you this opportunity as they provide life insurance protection, in case something bad happens, while being able to grow your investments that give you a potentially strong return at the same time.” According to Zed Matubis, vice president and head of Wealth Sales of Manulife Asset Management, 2021 is poised to be a “recovery year,” but there are still risks to consider. “While the rolling out of the vaccines provides optimism for the reopening of economies, resulting in higher GDP growth and corporate earnings, we still have to be cautious of the increasing COVID-19 cases, which will have a great impact. It would be best for investors to have a long-term investment horizon and diversify their portfolios.” The webinar can be watched on the insurer’s Facebook page and website.

NUTRIASIA and Alliance Global, Inc. earlier announced their plans to provide free vaccination to its employees. “We are choosing to proactively be part of the solution to end the worst public health crisis in a century with the decision to give our employees and three of their qualified dependents the option to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus,” said NutriAsia chairman Joselito Campos, Jr. The vaccination program, whose budget is “still being finalized,” of the sauces and condiments company will be on a voluntary basis. NutriAsia says the vaccine will be acquired in accordance with the guidelines of the Emergency Use Authorization and IATF directives, although the vaccine to be rolled out company-wide is not yet finalized. “We are in the process of finalizing the vaccine brand to be acquired. Doses shall be administered—as soon as possible—in accordance to the manufacturer’s advice.” Alliance Global, the parent company of Resorts World Manila, likewise announced a free vaccination program for all its employees across the board. Prior to the availability of vaccines, the integrated resort had provided its employees free COVID-19 testing and health monitoring. “Vaccination is not just about personal protection. It is our best hope in ending this pandemic, for everyone’s benefit. The sooner we can all get vaccinated,
