ABOUT five COVID-19 patients have died each day at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) for the last three weeks, its spokesman Dr. Jonas del Rosario said Wednesday.

At an online briefing, DelRosario also said that 220 out of 250 COVID-19 beds are occupied on a daily basis, which is far worse than the situation last year. “Our ICU units are full. ER beds are Next page

US warns citizens vs. PH trip Cites high level of virus cases in country; Japan PM Suga cancels visit

By Rey E. Requejo and Willie Casas

HE United States has warned its citizens against traveling to the Philippines due to the high level of COVID-19 cases in the country, while the Japanese prime minister called off a visit to Manila following a resurgence of infections in Japan.

“Do not travel to the Philippines due to COVID-19,” the US State Department said in a travel advisory dated April 20. “The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) has issued a Level 4 Travel Health Notice for the Philippines due to COVID-19, indicating a very high level of COVID-19 in the country,”

the advisory added. The US government also noted that there are restrictions in place affecting the entry of US citizens to the Philippines. Due to “unprecedented risk to travelers” from the COVID-19 pandemic, the US State Department earlier said it would enhance its “Do Not Travel” guidance to about 80 percent of countries worldwide. Most American citizens have already been advised against traveling

to most parts of Europe due to pandemic restrictions. The US also prohibited the entry of nearly all non-US citizens who have recently been in most of Europe, China, Brazil, Iran and South Africa. Meanwhile, the Japan Times reported that Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has called off a planned visit to India and the Philippines, apparently due to a resurgence of coronavirus infections in Japan.

Rody: OFW quarantine length stays By Willie Casas and Rey E. Requejo

RESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte said Wednesday he is not prepared to allow a less stringent quarantine and testing protocols for arriving overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), which could compromise the health of the people as the country continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.

* Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. on Wednesday said the initial batch of 200,000 Moderna COVID-19 vaccine doses that are due for delivery in the middle of June are intended for the Department of Foreign Affairs and the different Foreign Mission in the country. * The Philippines will be able to receive and properly store Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccines from Russia’s Gamaleya Institute, the Department of Health assured the public on Wednesday. Vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. said that an initial shipment of 20,000 doses will be arriving this week. * The government is still awaiting some requirements of documents from Bharat Biotech of India before its COVID-19 vaccine, Covaxin, will be allowed entry into the Philippines, a

health official said Wednesday. * The government has distributed more than 3 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines of different brands, the DOH said in a statement. “100% of the available doses have been distributed, equating to 3,025,600 out of 3,025,600,” the DOH said. In a statement posted on his official page, Sta. Romana said the Philippine Embassy in Beijing is now facilitating the shipment of the vaccines. “A team from the Philippine Embassy in Beijing led by First Secretary Winston Almeda & Economic Section Attache Dada Katrina Aromin inspected the shipment of 500,000 vaccines produced by Sinovac on Monday, April 19, before they are brought to the airport for pickup by a Philippine Airlines plane,” he said.

In a televised briefing Wednesday, the President said: “I cannot compromise. I am not ready for a compromise lalo na ngayon, ‘yung ibang siguro, yung rabies, rabies dyan pero ito talagang, as you have said, dapo rito, dapo roon, then you have the exponential problem now of how to take care of the Philippines. Duterte convened the meeting with health experts to respond to the appeal of Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello to immediately test OFWs and reduce the number

of quarantine days in hotels or isolation facilities down to nine days from 14. “Talagang hirap na hirap sila. They are crying . . . We cannot close our eyes to the miseries of our OFWs,” Bello said. In other developments: * The Philippines will receive 500,000 more doses of governmentprocured CoronaVac vaccines on April 22, Philippine Ambassador to China Jose Santiago Sta. Romana announced Wednesday.

also always full. Severe and critical care cases are being accommodated in the ER,” he said in Filipino. Echoing the difficulties faced by other Metro Manila hospitals, Del Rosario said many COVID-19 patients have to wait just to be accommodated in the ICU. Del Rosario also said extending the modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) in Metro Manila, Bulacan, Laguna, Cavite and Rizal, or NCR Plus, beyond April 30 could help improve the situation. MECQ prevents non-essential trips and partly shuts down non-essential businesses and services. “There has been an improvement but it is yet to be significant. If no dent is being made, at least based on our census in PGH where we have 200 [COVID-19] patients per day, the extension of MECQ will probably help in decreasing COVID-19 transmission and lessening [the number of] people getting hospitalized,” he said. The Department of Health (DOH) said the utilization rate of ICU beds in Metro Manila remains in the high-risk category amid a fresh surge in COVID-19 infections. Health Secretary Francisco Duque III earlier said six cities that he did not identify had already reached 100 percent ICU utilization. Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said the ICU bed capacity in Metro Manila was at a high 84 percent due to a fresh surge in infections. Other areas with high ICU occupancy were the Cordillera Administrative Region (73 percent), Calabarzon (83 percent). Cagayan Valley (88 percent) and Central Luzon (87 percent). Under DOH guidelines, an area is classified as moderate risk if its ICU utilization rate falls between 60 percent and 69 percent, high risk at 70 percent to 84 percent%, and critical risk at 85 percent or more. Meanwhile, physicians are seeking the help of ship owners to allow some of their vessels to be converted into temporary facilities for COVID-19 patients. Volunteer doctors or Doctors on Boat belonging to the Clean Air Philippines Movement Inc. (CAPMI), Philippine Medical Association (PMA) and Private Hospitals Associations of the Philippines Inc. said the shipping industry could extend their help amid the COVID-19 pandemic and provide converted hospital ships to immediately decongest the hospital facilities in the National Capital Region. In an open appeal to the “compassionate hearts of the barons of the Philippine shipping industry,” PMA president Dr. Benito Atienza, along with CAPMI president Dr. Leo Olarte, said hospitals in Metro Manila have already reached the “red line” threshold. “We must act now to stop needless deaths in the NCR due to the congested hospital problem confronting our nation’s centers,” the group’s state-

AMID the sprouting of community pantries across the country, Senator Risa Hontiveros has filed Senate Bill 2126 or “Ensuring Zero Hunger for All Filipinos” to address the glaring gaps in the government response in addressing hunger and malnutrition. “The Philippines has committed to end hunger and eradicate poverty by 2030 as part of its Sustainable Development Goals,” Hontiveros said.

US... From A1 The trip, which had been scheduled from late April to early May, was intended to reaffirm Japan’s cooperation with the two countries in achieving a free and open Indo-Pacific, as the nations look to counter China’s military buildup and growing assertiveness in the region. In India, Suga was expected to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the first time in person and discuss promotion of bilateral collaboration in many fields including outer space and cybersecurity. Japan and India have also decided to postpone their foreign and defense ministerial talks scheduled this weekend in Tokyo due to a rapid increase in coronavirus cases in India. Suga’s visit to the Philippines was aimed at marking the 65th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The recent spikes in coronavirus cases in Japan have put a heavy strain on the medical systems in some areas, leading the government to consider imposing a fresh state of emergency in Tokyo, Osaka and Hyogo prefectures.

PRIVATE companies will inoculate their employees against COVID-19 first before donating coronavirus vaccine doses to the government, Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Jose Ma. “Joey” Concepcion III said. Concepcion told a joint hearing of the House Committees on Health and Trade and Industry on Wednesday that the country has secured over 6 million doses of various COVID-19 vaccines that were donated by the private sector. He also said vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. has agreed to the private sector-first arrangement. “I would like to thank Secretary (Carlito) Galvez for agreeing that the donation of the private sector will be taken at the backend. In other words, instead them taking it in the first deliveries, they will take it towards the end after the private sector has been able to vaccinate their employees,” Concepcion said. “That is definitely a big help to us even if we donated it, ideally, we will give it at the same time, but if we look at the calendar, the speed of inoculation of the private sector is so important to be able to ensure that factories continue running and that our people will be safe,” he added. Currently, Concepcion said 751 micro, small and medium enterprises availed of 590,996 doses of COVID-19 vaccines, while 253 large enterprises procured around six million doses as of April 21. Fifty percent of the 6.594 million doses of COVID-10 vaccines will be donated to the government, coming from AstraZeneca, Moderna, Novovax, and Bharat vaccines. After the inoculation of the medical frontliners, senior citizens and people with comorbidities, the government will give shots to the labor force.

The bill mandates the state to take appropriate steps to ensure the realization of individual’s right to food, design policies and to fund programs that would create conditions that will free Filipinos from hunger and reexamine the policies on the use, exploitation and management of resources to achieve the goal of ending hunger. It would also provide adequate, coherent and transparent policies that encourage and promote private citizen’s active participation such as through

food banks and community pantries. “Food banks and community pantries should be institutionalized so they can get the right amount of support from the government to serve and reach more people in need,” Hontiveros said. Moreover, this measure would fully integrate the whole government approach to eradicate hunger. The government and all its instrumentalities would be compelled to work together across the portfolio boundaries to achieve an integrated response to eliminate hun-

India and the Philippines are also grappling with their own surge in COVID-19 cases, which may have played a part in the decision to cancel the trip. The Philippines on Wednesday logged 9,227 new COVID-19 infections, bringing the total number of cases to 962,307, the Department of Health (DOH) reported. The department reported 124 new fatalities that brought the death toll from COVID-19 to 16,265. Meanwhile, total recoveries also increased to 829,608 with 19,699 new ones. This left 116,434 active cases, of which 96.7 percent are mild, 1.3 percent are asymptomatic, 0.8 percent are severe, and 0.6 percent are critical, and 0.52 percent are moderate. The DOH reported that, nationwide, 65 percent of the ICU beds were in use; 49 percent of the isolation beds were in use; 55 percent of the ward beds were in use; and 45 percent of the ventilators were in use. In Metro Manila, 82 percent of the ICU beds were in use; 61 percent of the isolation beds were in use; 70 percent of the ward beds were in use; and 60 percent of the ventilators were in use. The DOH had said it will push for the daily logging of time-based recoveries of COVID-19 patients.

In other developments; * Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Debold Sinas on Wednesday named Lt. Gen. Joselito Vera Cruz as the new commander of Joint Task Force (JTF) Covid Shield, the government’s arm in charge of implementing quarantine rules and health protocols. Vera Cruz, the newly appointed deputy chief for operations (DCO), will replace Lt. Gen. Cesar Hawthorne Binag, who will retire from the service upon turning 56 on Saturday. * Aiming to respond to the severe gaps in the already struggling health care system revealed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Senator Francis Pangilinan filed several amendments to the Magna Carta for Public Health Workers. Senate Bill No. (SBN) 2142 seeks to amend the law by institutionalizing an increase in allowances and additional compensation of public health workers. “The old Magna Carta for Public Health Workers is almost 30 years old. There are needs at the present that cannot be met anymore by the old law. And the pandemic has revealed that it is severely lacking in ensuring our public health care workers are adequately compensated in the face of a global health emergency. It has to be updated to respond to the call of the times,” Pangilinan said.

was allowed to be used in the country. The Department of Health said it would ensure that health care workers would be trained to deal with adverse events after immunization (AEFI). Like AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson’s vaccines were linked to rare blood clotting cases. But despite this, the Philippine Food and Drug Administration has approved Johnson & Johnson’s emergency use authorization application. “We need to train our health care workers so they can immediately recognize these adverse events among our citizens who will be vaccinated so we are on the safe side,” Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said during a virtual briefing, referring to those part of the vaccination teams nationwide. Vergeire said experts and vaccine manufacturers were continuously studying the blood clotting events which are “very very rare side effects.” Vergeire said among the adverse effects that need to be monitored after vaccination are anaphylaxis, venous thromboembolism, and vaccine-associated enhanced disease.

sale/trade of ivermectin for veterinary use that has been repackaged as humangrade, including those that have not been determined by competent authorities as safe to be used in humans,” he said. Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made this remark after Duterte directed the FDA to hold clinical trials for the use of the anti-parasitic drug to treat COVID-19 patients. The President is closely monitoring the developments concerning the controversial drug ivermectin here and abroad, Roque said Wednesday. Duterte’s order to the FDA overturned the previous stance of the Department of Science and Technology and the Department of Health that there was no need for a local ivermectin trial since over 40 global studies on the drug were being conducted. Roque defended Duterte’s decision, saying the President wanted to find out if there was enough evidence to back the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19. “To ensure the safety and welfare of the public and at the same time avoid any unnecessary conflicts, the Food and Drug Administration has been directed to take the lead in determining the course of action against the illegal trading/dispensing of Ivermectin,” Roque said in a press statement. Roque assured that efforts by the Philippine National Police to crack down on individuals engaged in the distribution of fake, unregistered, or unlicensed Ivermectin were being coordinated with the FDA. “The Philippine National Police cannot arbitrarily determine on their own which drug/s should not be on the market. All operations to apprehend or seize goods must be done in coordination with the FDA,” he said. Currently, there is a growing debate within the medical community whether ivermectin should be given to COVID-19 patients.

“I think there will be a large bulk of importation taking advantage of EO 128. Depending on what happens in the economy, we believe that it can even go higher than 400,000, it may even reach 600,000 metric tons this year on total importation under what we call the MAV (minimum access volume),” he said. Meat producers in the United Kingdom are among those interested to supply pork to the country, according to BritCham chairman Chris Nelson. Meanwhile, presidential spokesman Harry Roque said: “The President is asking the esteemed members of the Senate to give Executive Order No. 128 a chance and consider its intended

effects, which include addressing the shortage in swine meat, stabilizing the price of pork meat, and minimizing inflation rate, as mentioned by the Department of Agriculture and the President’s economic team.” He said that the issuance of EO 128 aims to address the shortage in pork, stabilize the price of pork products, and minimize the inflation rate. Roque said the President appealed to the senators to wait for at least two months to see the impact of EO 128 in the local hog industry. The senators earlier adopted a resolution asking the President to recall the order lowering pork tariffs amid concerns it would harm local hog raisers.

Only two countries had started administering the J&J shot before it was paused -- the United States and South Africa -with more than seven million doses given out so far, according to an AFP tally. The vaccine was praised as easier to administer and transport than some of its rivals, because it requires just one dose and can be stored at warmer temperatures. The EU approved the J&J shot on March 3 and started taking deliveries on April 19, but has not yet started administering it to people. A top Johnson & Johnson executive said Tuesday he hoped for a speedy resolution to the current pause. “We remain very confident and very hopeful that the benefit-risk profile will play out,” Chief Financial Officer Joseph Wolk told CNBC. The J&J concerns follow similar reports of blood clots in a very small number of people who received the AstraZeneca shot.

European adults by the summer -- a boon for the continent’s sluggish rollout. Europe’s Johnson & Johnson campaign was delayed after US health regulators said the shot should be paused over blood clot fears. After reviewing isolated cases of clotting among people who received the vaccine, EMA’s safety committee said it found a “possible link” to the jab. The regulator said its safety committee “concluded that a warning about unusual blood clots with low blood platelets should be added to the product information” for the J&J shot. “This is a very rare effect,” EMA chief Emer Cooke told reporters. “But it also makes it very important for doctors and patients to be aware of the signs so that they can spot any concerns.” Italy’s health authorities said that in light of the EMA ruling, the vaccine Trained to recognize should be considered “definitively safe” Healthcare workers in the Philippines will but the country would prioritize its use be trained to recognize rare adverse events, for people aged over 60. after Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine

Camanava mayors shun pantry permit requirement

IN BRIEF BI aids seafarers in leaving ships THE Bureau of Immigration facilitated the departure of hundreds of seafarers aboard cruise ships docked at the Port of Manila following the restrictions and global lockdown due to the coronavirus disease 2019, which led many of them to stay in their ships for several weeks. Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente ordered Seaport Operations Section Chief Alnazib Decampong to speed up the process of documentation and stamping of foreign and Filipino seafarers’ passports so they could return to their respective countries and destinations. The MV Norwegian Encore Cruise ship docked at Pier 15, Port of Manila that had 1,046 Filipino and foreign crews are currently under mandatory quarantine. “As of April 11, the Immigration, Bureau of Quarantine, the Philippine Coast Guard, Department of Transportation and the Philippine Ports Authority worked together under the One-stop Shop” to hasten the processing of the departure of foreign seafarers aboard the MV Norwegian Encore Cruise ship,” according to Usman Abinal, BI-Bay Service section deputy chief. All Filipinos and foreign crews were swabbed tested for COVID 19 and those testing positive would be immediately transferred to the Manila Hotel for quarantine while those with negative results would be assisted for their return home, Abinal said.

By Jun David IT IS not necessary to obtain a permit for those behind the community pantries that have suddenly sprung up in some areas in Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela that have been inspired by the Maginhawa Pantry in Quezon City. “We should give gratitude and support to those behind the community pantries in the city. If assistance is needed to maintain social distancing, our barangay can be notified to help, but a permit is not required. Helping and Bayanihan does not require any permit, “ said Caloocan City Mayor Oca Malapitan. He said Caloocan City would soon complete the distribution of ﬁnancial assistance to families within a few more days. Meanwhile, according to Navotas City Mayor Toby Tiangco, they were also very grateful to their fellow Navoteños who had also set up their respective community pantries to help others and insisted that permits were not needed. “In times of difﬁculty, all those who help those in need are very, very welcome,” said Tiangco. Navotas has also distributed 8,666 relief packs to the residents of the city. On the other hand, Valenzuela City Mayor Rex Gatchalian also said special permits were no longer needed for city residents who were willing to help their neighbors. “Just make sure that the minimum health standards are followed and social distancing will be observed at all times. Also, no minors and not within curfew hours, just set it up. If somebody gives you trouble let me know ... I’ll take care of them,” Gatchalian said. Malabon City Mayor Len Len Oreta also said because those behind the community pantries had good intentions, there was no need to bother them to get a permit.

Group producing fake RT-PCR tests nabbed

By Joel E. Zurbano

OLICE have arrested in Las Piñas City another group of people producing fake RT-PCR or reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test results.

Suspects Frederick Jude Sena, 46, of Barangay Talon, Las Piñas City, Janice Dasco, 35, of Sabang, Naic, Cavite, and Gabriela Dimaano, 21, of San Nicolas, Bacoor, also in Cavite, were arrested in an entrapment operation. Southern Police District operatives raided the suspects’ ‘clinic’ on Real Street, Alabang Zapote Road in Barangay Talon I. around 4 p.m. following information about their alleged illegal activity. Initial investigation showed that the clinic was producing, issuing and selling fake RTPCR test results for P1,500 a copy. The pieces of evidence recovered from the establishment were two RT-PCR test results under the name of patients Ireneor Custodio Jr. and Joey Tecson; four Rapid Test Results under the names of Esminda

Biag, Carl Jerome Morelos, Razel Relon and Gerardo Lacalinao; Certification of Registration and DTI Business registration and Mayor’s Permit under the name of Dasco, Janice Arlada; personal computer and accessories; and equipment used in sniffing prohibited substances. The suspects and the recovered pieces of evidence were brought to Las Piñas City Police Station Drug Enforcement Unit. SPD director Eliseo Cruz commended his men for the arrest of the suspects. He said the police operation was in compliance with the instruction from the Department of Interior and Local Government to arrest and intensify the crackdown against people engaged in producing fake RT-PCR test results and medical certificates. “Faking RT-PCR tests and other health

documents is dangerous and punishable by law,” he said. The latest police operation came more than a week after the arrest in Quiapo, Manila, of six other people also engaged in the falsiﬁcation of RT-PCR test results and IATF travel authority. The items recovered from the suspects included the P93,000 in marked money used in the entrapment operation, two computer monitors and two central processing units, four mobile phones, one computer printer, assorted documents of Red Cross COVID-19 RT-PCR Swab Test Results and IATF Travel Authority issued by the PNP. The government reiterated its call to the public not to deal with unscrupulous individuals offering fake COVID-19 swab test results and other required documents relative to health and safety protocol. It warned the public not to resort to unlawful means that would violate the standard health protocol and might bring risk to their health and their family.

SEVERAL party-list legislators on Wednesday expressed support for the continued operation of motorcycle taxis during a hearing on the proposed institutionalization of the service by the House of Representatives’ Committee on Transportation. The same legislators maintained the support on motorcycle taxis that they expressed in January 2020, when the transportation service was ﬁelded for pilot testing. Party-list Rep. Sandro Gonzalez, the ﬁrst nominee of the party-list group Marino and vice chairman of the panel, in January 2020 expressed support for the continuation and expansion of the pilot study that allowed motorcycle taxis to operate. Gonzalez also supported the recommendation of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases in June 2020 to allow backriding in motorcycles subject to compliance with health protocols. “Motorcycle taxis serve as an effective alternative mode of transportation, considering that buses and jeepneys have limited routes. Motorcycle taxis provide pointto-point transportation which is cheaper than using cars for the same purpose. As we continue to struggle with the pandemic and the limited transport options, we should not close our doors to alternatives,” Gonzalez said. Maricel V. Cruz

CLARK FREEPORT—The Bases Conversion Development Authority added more isolation beds in its quarantine facility at the New Clark City in Capas, Tarlac, after the number of coronavirus cases in Central Luzon spiked. An additional 171 beds for Clark’s isolation have been in place, bringing to 1,121 the total isolation beds at the National Government Administrative Center that was converted into a temporary treatment and monitoring area for COVID 19 with mild or asymptomatic cases.

BCDA President and Chief Executive Vince Dizon said the government recognized the need to beef up the isolation capacity amid the spike in COVID-19 cases. “We hope to ease the burden of hospitals by building more facilities for patients with mild and asymptomatic cases,” said Dizon, who is also National Task Force Against COVID-19 deputy chief implementer and testing czar.

Chinese Gen. Hospital launches Home Care DUE to the recent surge of COVID-19 cases and with many hospitals on the brink of overload, the Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center is launching its own Home Care Program for patients in need of monitored medical attention. Designed for safety and convenience, patients seeking diagnostic, basic and comprehensive care for COVID-19 can now do so in the conﬁnes of their own home. Patients may gain access to this service by CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACKProgram contacting the hospital’s Homecare Hotlines at 87114141 loc. 1103 to 1105, mobile 0966-6804553, or visiting http://homecare. cghmc.care. A tele-consultation will then be arranged with a CGHMC Infectious Disease Consultant. Attending physicians can likewise refer patients if they are under medical care. “This will ensure that those truly in need of medical treatment for COVID-19 will be attended to and not be turned away because of sheer volume,” said Samuel Ang, CGHMC Medical Director. “Our patients’ health and recovery remain our top priority.” Depending on the requirements, there are two basic affordable services: the COVID-19 Diagnostic Package and the COVID-19 Home Care Package. There are seven types to choose from and rates start at P18,000. The program is available for patients in Metro Manila.

‘Bising’ death toll now at 7; 9 seafarers still missing

PhilHealth still finalizing vax indemnity THE Philippine Health Insurance Corp. has yet to complete the guidelines for the indemnity fund to compensate those who will experience adverse effects following immunization (AEFI) for COVID-19. Almost two months since the government rolled out its vaccination program, the state insurer is still working on the indemnification fund for AEFIs, a requirement of drug makers Pfizer and AstraZeneca. “PhilHealth is currently finalizing the specific guidelines for approval of the Board and eventually the management,” said Mary Antonette Remonte, acting senior manager of PhilHealth’s Benefits Development and Research Development, during a congressional hearing Wednesday. “We have to consider the available resources as provided by law,” she added. Under the COVID-19 Vaccination Program Act, the government has allocated P500 million to be managed by PhilHealth as indemnity for people who will die, suffer permanent disability or hospital confinement, due to serious adverse events from getting inoculated. Gabriela party-list Rep. Arlene Brosas questioned the slow pace of the crafting of the indemnity fund guidelines. “This is dangerous for those who got their first dose and who might experience adverse effects. How can they avail of the indemnity fund when there are still no guidelines?” Brosas said. Remonte, however, said the process cannot be rushed since PhilHealth needs to study the law thoroughly. “This indemnification fund is new, like an additional mandate of PhilHealth, and we have low experience yet on how to administer this. We have to study first the law,” she said.

Applications for mining deals to be scrutinized FOLLOWING President Rodrigo Duterte’s decision to lift the moratorium on new mining operations, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources on Wednesday vowed to scrutinize pending applications for mineral agreements to ensure that they would not pose adverse effects to the environment. “There is no automatic approval even if these mining applicants submit all the requirements,” Secretary Roy Cimatu said. Duterte, through Executive Order No. 130, lifted the ban on new mining agreements. The environment chief said pending applications would only be approved by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau after a thorough review and validation of the final exploration report and mining feasibility studies. The report to be validated by the MGB central office should show that the delineated mineral resources and reserves are plentiful to last at least a 10-year mine life or commercial extraction life for metallic minerals and seven years for non-metallic. The mining feasibility study should show that the cost to develop the mine can pay for all the costs related to the mining operation including operating cost, administration overhead, and milling cost if there is a processing plant, environmental cost, social development cost, and safety and health cost. According to Cimatu, should the feasibility studies show less than ideal returns from the operation, then the application would be disapproved. Rio N. Araja

At present, 14 vessels and five aircraft have been patrolling the area of ATF West while eight vessels and six aircraft are deployed in the area under ATF North. “The foregoing whole-of-nation approach to protect our national interest in the WPS manifests the firm rejection of the Philippine government of any attempt to undermine the 2016 Arbitral Award,” the NTF-WPS said in a statement. In a July 2016 ruling, the Haguebased UN Court rejected China’s claim of sovereignty over the entire South China Sea, which invalidated Beijing’s massive nine-dash line claims over the waterway and upheld Manila’s exclusive economic zone in the West Philippine Sea.

DOJ warns public vs. malicious Facebook video link By Rey E. Requejo THE Department of Justice-Office of Cybercrime on Wednesday cautioned Facebook users tagged in a post containing a link to an adult video not to click it as it could activate malware. “When clicked, it will result in the automatic and random tagging in the same post of other Facebook account users,”

the DOJ-OOC said in an advisory. “If you happen to get a notification tagging you in a post that contains a link to an apparent adult content, do not click any further and report the post,” it added. The DOJ’s anti-cybercrime body confirmed that the page linked to the malicious tagging has already been removed. Its administrators have also been

sanctioned, the agency said. Republic Act No. 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 penalizes offenses against the confidentiality, integrity and availability of computer data and systems through the introduction or transmission of viruses. “Let’s all be good netizens and practice the responsible use of social media,” the agency said.

THE death toll from the onslaught of Typhoon Bising has climbed to seven after the bodies of four missing seafarers were found Wednesday while disaster officials confirmed the death of a 47-year-old female after getting hit by a fallen tree. Seven members of a crew forced to abandon their cargo ship after it ran aground at Malimono town in Surigao del Norte Monday have been rescued while the bodies of four others found, local disaster officer Aladdin Sumampong said. Search teams were still looking for nine crew members. The survivors were taken to hospital for treatment and were in a stable condition, “I asked them what happened since the ship just ran aground... but they said the order of the captain was to abandon the ship because it will capsize soon due to big waves,” Sumampong told AFP. The Philippine-registered vessel – laden with nickel ore and carrying 2,000 liters of diesel fuel – was still afloat, Sumampong said. Two of the survivors were found on a beach with the bodies of two colleagues they had carried while swimming to shore, he said. On Tuesday, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council confirmed two fatalities – a 45-yearold male from Cebu and a 79-year-old male from Southern Leyte, who were both hit by a fallen tree. It also reported that around 59,098 families or 229,829 persons residing in 944 barangays in Bicol, Eastern Visayas, and Caraga Regions were affected by the typhoon. Out of this number, 3,848 families or 15,813 persons are being aided in 236 evacuation centers while 5,535 families or around 21,648 individuals are taking shelter with their relatives and friends. The NDRRMC also reported almost P50 million worth of agricultural damage in Bicol and Eastern Visayas. The slow-moving Bising is packing maximum sustained wind speeds of 165 kilometers an hour near its center, about 345 kilometers off the northern province of Cagayan. It is not expected to make landfall. The Philippines is hit by an average of 20 typhoons or storms every year. Joyce Pañares with AFP

THE Commission on Human Rights on Wednesday launched its own investigation into the death of a former female detainee who was allegedly robbed by 11 policemen and raped by their team leader. “The Commission is already conducting an independent probe on the incident and shall look into all angles of the case as Police Staff Sergeant Celso Lucero Colita, one of the identified suspects, also was reported to have shot himself on the same night of Ritchie Nepomuceno’s death,” CHR spokesperson Jacqueline Ann de Guia said. “Our regional office has already deployed field investigators to reach out to other complainants and the family of the victim,” she added.

Authorities are digging deeper into supposed drug involvement and love triangle behind the killing of Nepomuceno, 35, in Cebu City on April 19. Unidentified men shot Nepomuceno, who was among three victims claiming they were tortured by the police officers inside a secret room at the Sawang Calero police station. On April 6, the secret room disappeared after the CHR in Central Visayas attempted to inspect the police station. Colita shot himself dead inside the comfort room of the Regional Special Operations Group hours before Nepomuceno was killed. Nepomuceno accused Colita of raping her twice while she was in police custody.Rio N. Araja

THE Department of Environment and Natural Resources is giving away free seedlings of fruit-bearing trees and vegetables in celebration of Earth Day. Inspired by the community pantries for the poor, the DENR launched its own “Community PanTree.” In a statement, the DENR-National Capital Region said it is the agency’s “humble contribution to efforts addressing the issue of food security in the region.” “To help Metro Manilans cope with the stress caused by the pandemic through urban gardening and planting, DENR National Capital Region will be establishing a Community Pan-TREE,” it said. “Magtanim ayon sa kakayahan. Umani ayon sa pangangailangan,” it added. The “Community Pan-Tree” is open today (Thursday) from 9 a.m. To 3 p.m. at the DENR-NCR Technical Services Office on North Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City. The agency urged the public to “bring your own pots” and suggested reusing old plastic tubs or other r cycled containers for the saplings they will get from the pantry. “Private individuals and groups who share a passion for urban greening may also donate plants in support of the project,” it said. Earth Day is an annual global event celebrated every April 22 since 1970.

IN BRIEF

HK woman, 90, loses $32m in phone scam HONG KONG—A 90-year-old Hong Kong woman has been conned out of US$32million by fraudsters posing as Chinese officials, police said, in the city’s biggest recorded phone scam. Hong Kong’s elderly are plagued by phone scammers who seek out vulnerable and wealthy victims willing to transfer money or make bogus investments. Police on Tuesday said scammers targeted an elderly woman living in a mansion on The Peak, Hong Kong’s ritziest neighborhood. Last summer criminals contacted the unnamed woman pretending to be Chinese public security officials. They claimed her identity had been used in a serious criminal case in mainland China. She was told she needed to transfer money from her bank account into ones held by the investigation team for safekeeping and scrutiny, the South China Morning Post reported, citing police sources.

Flash floods kill 14, displace 8k in Angola LUANDA, Angola—Flash floods triggered by torrential rains in Angola have killed at least 14 people and displaced around 8,000 in the capital Luanda, the national news agency reported. Bridges and homes collapsed on Monday as hours of heavy rain fell on the ocean-facing city, swamping streets and sweeping away cars and trees. Citing the spokesman for the national civil protection agency Faustino Mingues, news agency Angpop said most of the victims were either crushed by debris or electrocuted. Rubble was scattered along Luanda’s streets on Tuesday as residents took stock of the damage, wading through water-drenched patches of land. AFP

Navalny allies seek to drown Putin speech MOSCOW—Vladimir Putin delivers a state of the nation address on Wednesday as Russia deals with a crisis in ties with the West and faces calls for mass protests in support of jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny. The longtime Russian leader’s annual speech to lawmakers and regional governors sets the political agenda and last year saw Putin lay out a plan that eventually gave him the power to stay in office until 2036. This year’s address comes with Moscow locked in diplomatic disputes with the United States and Europe over a Russian troop build-up on Ukraine’s borders and a series of espionage scandals. With parliamentary elections due in September, Putin will be looking to shore up his public support and is likely to remain defiant with the West, as well as announcing a series of measures to boost Russia’s pandemic-hit economy. But the speech threatens to be overshadowed by country-wide demonstrations called by Navalny’s supporters, who fear the life of Putin’s best-known critic is in grave danger. Navalny’s team has called for protests from 7:00 pm (0400 GMT) in cities across Russia to support the anti-corruption campaigner, who launched a hunger strike three weeks ago to protest his lack of medical treatment in prison. Police have issued warnings against joining Wednesday’s rallies, saying they are illegal gatherings. They arrested thousands during anti-government demonstrations earlier this year. AFP

Chauvin convicted, faces 40 years for Floyd murder M

INNEAPOLIS—Derek Chauvin, a white former Minneapolis police officer, was convicted Tuesday of murdering African-American George Floyd after a racially charged trial seen as a pivotal test of police accountability in the United States. The jury deliberated less than 11 hours before finding 45-year-old Chauvin guilty of all three charges against him: second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter. A crowd gathered outside the heavily guarded downtown Minneapolis courtroom erupted in cheers, and some wept tears of relief, when the verdicts were announced after a three-week trial that had an entire nation on edge. Chauvin, who had been free on bail, was put in handcuffs after Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill read out the unanimous verdicts reached by the racial-

ly diverse, seven-woman, five-man jury. Wearing a facemask and displaying no visible emotion, Chauvin was escorted out of the courtroom by a deputy as one of Floyd’s brothers, Philonise Floyd, embraced prosecutors. Chauvin faces up to 40 years in prison on the most serious charge -- seconddegree murder. His sentencing will take place in eight weeks, Judge Cahill said. The 19-year veteran of the Minneapolis police force was seen on video kneeling on the neck of Floyd for more than nine minutes as he lay face down and handcuffed on the ground saying

repeatedly “I can’t breathe.” The 46-year-old Floyd’s death during his May 25, 2020 arrest for allegedly passing a counterfeit $20 bill sparked protests against racial injustice and police brutality around the world. Ahead of the verdict, cities across the United States had been braced for potential unrest and National Guard troops have been deployed in Minneapolis. On Tuesday evening, officers in the US state of Ohio released body camera footage of an officer shooting and killing a Black teenage girl who appeared to be threatening another person with a knife. Columbus police chief Michael Woods said he wanted to release the footage as quickly as possible. George Floyd’s brother Rodney told AFP that Black people in America had been victims of deadly injustice at the hands of the authorities for hundreds of years. AFP

Xi to attend Biden’s virtual climate summit BEIJING—China’s President Xi Jinping will attend US President Joe Biden’s virtual climate summit this week, Beijing said Wednesday, as the world’s top polluting nations seek rare common ground despite wider political tensions. Biden has invited 40 world leaders including Xi and Russia’s Vladimir Putin to the meet starting on Earth Day, meant to mark Washington’s return to the front lines of the fight against climate change after former president Donald Trump disengaged from the process. The virtual summit will be the first meeting between the two leaders since Biden became president. Xi will give an “important speech” at the meeting, said the Chinese foreign ministry, days after a trip to Shanghai by US climate envoy John Kerry -- the first official from Biden’s administration to visit China. Kerry and Chinese counterpart Xie Zhenhua had said they were “committed to cooperating” on tackling the climate crisis, even as sky-high tensions remain on multiple other fronts. Washington and Beijing’s pledge to cooperate comes amid acrimony over accusations about China’s policies in Hong Kong and its treatment of Uyghurs in its northwestern Xinjiang region -- criticisms Beijing rejects as interference in its domestic affairs. No global solution on climate change is likely without both the US and China on board since the world’s top two economies together account for nearly half of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions.

‘Truant’ returns to class

Biden has made climate a top priority, turning the page from his predecessor Donald Trump, who was closely aligned with the fossil fuel industry. The US president has rejoined the 2015 Paris accord, which Kerry negotiated as secretary of state and which committed nations to take action to keep temperature rises at no more than two degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels.

US warns against travel to India to combat COVID-19 explosion

NEW DELHI—The United States has warned against travel to India, where authorities on Tuesday imposed tighter restrictions to combat an explosion of Covid-19 cases. India has recorded more than three million new infections and 18,000 deaths this month, bringing its caseload to the world’s

second-highest, after the United States. The updated US travel advisory comes after the State Department announced Monday it would apply “do not travel” guidance to about 80 percent of countries worldwide, citing the unprecedented risk posed by the pandemic. “Even fully vaccinated travelers... should

avoid all travel to India,” the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Singapore also boosted restrictions on arrivals from India Tuesday, adding a week to the previously required 14day quarantine period. These moves follow Britain’s decision on Monday to add India to its “red

list”, and Hong Kong’s ban on all flights from the country.

‘Tipping point’

India has been struggling to rein in its raging outbreak, with hospitals running out of beds and the government forced to reimpose economically painful restrictions. AFP

SK ends sex slaves’ case vs. Japan SEOUL—A South Korean court on Wednesday dismissed a case brought by a handful of World War II sex slaves and their families against the Japanese government, saying Tokyo enjoyed “sovereign immunity” over the issue. The ruling comes after the same court in January ordered Tokyo to compensate a dozen women forced to serve Japanese troops -- euphemistically labelled “comfort women” -- marking the first civilian legal victory against Tokyo in South Korea. One plaintiff pledged to fight Wednesday’s different verdict, which an analyst said would be a “plus” for improving ties between South Korea and Japan, whose

disputes have spread to affect trade and security in recent years. The comfort women question and other issues stemming from Japan’s 20th-century colonial rule over Korea has bedevilled their relations, despite a 1965 treaty which declared claims between them and their nationals had been settled. Tokyo and Seoul are both major US allies, democracies, and market economies, but their rift -- which has worsened significantly in recent years -presents US President Joe Biden with a foreign policy headache as he seeks to build a common front on China and nuclear-armed North Korea.

Taiwan’s worst drought in years intensifies chip shortage jitters TAIPEI, Taiwan—In the foothills of Taiwan’s mountainous spine, reservoirs are running dry as the island experiences its worst drought in decades—a crisis that risks deepening an already acute global semiconductor shortage. Taiwan is home to some of the world’s biggest and most advanced high-tech foundries, a linchpin of a global $450-billion industry that provides the computing power for essential devices, but is extremely water-intensive. The coronavirus pandemic sparked a global run on microchips as consumers snapped up electronics—causing a dearth that Taiwan’s microchip factories were struggling to plug even before the drought hit. Those foundries are already running at full capacity trying to meet demand. But the sudden lack of rain is making a bad situation worse for a manufacturing process that uses billions of gallons of water a year to stave off contamination of its products. “From notebooks, monitors, TVs, smartphones, tablets to cars, there is an overall shortage of chips. We haven’t seen anything like this before,” Eric Li, a spokesman for Himax Technologies, which designs chips used in screen displays, told AFP. Taiwan is one of the world’s wetter places, with an annual rainfall of 2,600 millimeters. Typhoons regularly slam into the island from the east during the rainy season and replenish reservoirs. But for the first time in 56 years, no typhoon made landfall in Taiwan in 2020. And, during the first three months of this year, rainfall has been less than 40 percent of the usual rate. In southern Taiwan, levels at the largest reservoir Tsengwen have fallen to a 15-year low at less than 12 percent capacity while the Baihe reservoir is completely dry. Earlier this month the government imposed water rationing for more than one million households and businesses in central Taiwan. AFP

HE stock market declined Wednesday along with the rest of Asia with fears over a renewed coronavirus surge weighing on global investor sentiment and US equities deepening their retreat from last week’s record highs.

The Philippine Stock Exchange Index fell 61.03 points, or 0.9 percent, to 6,439.39 on a value turnover of P5.4 billion. Gainers, however, edged losers, 108 to 92, with 52 issues unchanged. SM Prime Holdings Inc., the biggest mall operator and owned by the Sy Group, shed 4 percent P34.80, while JG Summit Holdings Inc. of the Gokongwei Group dropped 2.7 percent to P56.80. PLDT Inc., the largest telecommunications firm, however, rose 4.5 percent

to P1,296, while Century Pacific Food Inc., a leading canned food manufacturer, added 1.2 percent to P21. The rest of Asian markets, meanwhile, saw big falls Wednesday. Countries around the world are urgently working to accelerate vaccination campaigns and revive their pandemicravaged economies, with new variants of the pathogen driving unprecedented infection numbers in some of the worsthit nations. While both the Dow and the S&P 500 finished last week at new peaks and also posted their fourth consecutive weekly gains, shares have fallen over the past two days as earnings season enters its second week. “Global stocks are still plumbing the lows after renewed virus concerns spooked markets overnight,” said Stephen Innes of Axi. “The surge has led to increased travel restrictions and severely dented parts of the priced to perfection reopen trade,

leading to renewed concern over the continued economic impact, shrouding a batch of solid corporate results.” Tokyo led the sell-off with the Nikkei down two percent by the close after the port city of Osaka—where hospital beds for seriously ill coronavirus patients have run out—asked the central government to impose a state of emergency. Infections there are rising just three months before the country hosts the virus-delayed Olympics, and Tokyo and several other areas are expected to follow in Osaka’s footsteps. Mumbai fell another 0.5 percent on Wednesday as India battles a worrying virus surge and record daily case numbers overwhelm already stretched hospitals. The capital New Delhi was locked down Monday for a week, and the government said all adults would be eligible for a vaccine from May as it tries to get a grip on the crisis. With AFP

Electricity rates are still low but power outages loom ELECTRICITY consumers are fortunate that their monthly bills are declining despite increased consumption from work-from-home arrangements. But a possible power outage starting from the peak of the dry season to August this year could change the luck of consumers, if they do not conserve their usage in anticipation of a low electricity supply. Transmission operator National Grid Corp. of the Philippines late last week called on the power industry to help address the impending supply shortage in Luzon this year. “Thin operating margin is forecasted in the Luzon grid from April to August 2021 due to multiple power plants on extended outage, thereby providing limited power supply,” NGCP said in a statement. Many of the nation’s power plants are on extended outages due to technical limitations caused about by the pandemic. Lockdowns and strict quarantine rules have resulted in the delay in the delivery of materials and spare parts needed by power stations undergoing repair or maintenance operations. The harsh quarantine rules imposed by authorities to curb the current spike in COVID-19 infections have restricted the mobility of repairmen, or in some cases prevented them from working on the site. “We continue to urge the authorities to look into this impending power situation in Luzon during this summer season. As the transmission service provider, NGCP can only guarantee the dispatch of all and any available grid resources. It cannot intervene on matters concerning power generation,” says NGCP. The Department of Energy has predicted a total peak demand of 11,841 megawatts in Luzon for May, up 7 percent from the 2020 peak load of 11,103 MW on March 9, 2020. For Visayas and Mindanao, peak demand in both regions was reported in January 2020, and not during the usual months of November or December, because of the effect of the pandemic. Visayas is estimated to have a peak demand of 2,394 MW while that in Mindanao is expected to hit 2,098 MW, higher from 2,201 MW and 1,977 MW in 2020, respectively. More plant outages, of course, could muddle the supply situation and the thin contingency reserve. Consumers, thus, must use electricity efficiently to help prevent power interruptions amid the current lean supply. Meralco’s initiatives Manila Electric Co., for its part, is monitoring the power supply situation to make the necessary preparations. “But just in case the Luzon grid will be placed on red alert due to power plant outages, Meralco has measures in place to ensure continued, reliable service to our customers,” says Meralco vice president and spokesman Joe Zaldarriaga. Meralco can count on the voluntary Interruptible Load Program to augment the power supply needed by households

in Luzon. “ILP serves as an option for DUs like Meralco and electric cooperatives to ask their big load customers to serve their own power needs by using their own generator sets in the event that all available mechanisms implemented to ensure supply are not enough to cover the demand for electricity,” he said. Meralco’s pro-active stance and the strong leadership of president and chief executive Atty. Ray C. Espinosa, meanwhile, are leading to low power rates in the past years, and easing the burden on consumers during this prolonged pandemic. Meralco’s rates dropped to P8.3195 per kWh in March after a P0.36 per kilowatt-hour decrease, the lowest since August 2017. Meralco’s overall power rates fell by more than P1 per kilowatt hour in 2020. When prices of other products, goods and services are going up, Meralco’s electricity charges are declining. The low rates significantly contributed to the easing of inflation rate in the National Capital Region. Data from the Philippine Statistics Authority showed the inflation rate in the capital region slowed to 3.7 percent in March from the 4.1 percent recorded in February. Meralco has found ways of alleviating the plight of customers from the burden of the pandemic. It succeeded in obtaining a provisional approval from the Energy Regulatory Commission to refund around P13.9 billion to customers over a period of 24 months, or until the amount is fully refunded. The ERC endorsement contributed to lower Meralco rates. Meralco’s implementation of new Power Supply Agreements in 2020 also resulted in significantly lowering generation costs, providing savings of an estimated P8.4 billion to consumers. Meralco is also continuing the suspension of all disconnection activities in its franchise area until April 30, 2021, following the government’s decision to place a Metro Manila and the nearby provinces of Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna and Rizal under a modified enhanced community quarantine until the end of the month. “Given the ongoing pandemic situation and the latest quarantine measures, and always conscious of the challenges our customers are facing amid these trying times, we will continue to put on hold all disconnection activities until April 30 2021,” says Ferdinand Geluz, Meralco first vice president and chief commercial officer. A customer still has the option to pay and settle his or her own bill if he wishes to, to help avoid the piling up of bills and the possibility of a bill shock later.

Business DOE vows to safeguard oil and gas resources in WPS T By Alena Mae S. Flores

HE Department of Energy said Wednesday it is prepared to take steps to protect the rights of service contract holders and preserve the country’s resources in the West Philippine Sea.

Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi said the department would stand firmly behind any decision and action of President Rodrigo Duterte regarding the assertion of the exclusive licensing authority of the Philippines over petroleum and other resources in the seabed and subsoil of the West Philippine Sea. Cusi issued the statement to support the President’s statement on the defense

of the resources of the Philippine seabed and subsoil in accordance with the Constitution and petroleum laws. “Under our laws, only the Philippine government, through the DOE, may issue licenses to drill in Philippine land territory, including its islands, internal waters, territorial sea, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf,” he said. “Should any foreign state engage in petroleum activities inside the Philippine petroleum jurisdiction, the DOE shall take the necessary steps to protect our licensees and preserve our resources. It shall defer to the sole prerogative of the President regarding any security option,” Cusi said. The energy chief said DOE would also conform to any decision that the Department of Foreign Affairs might take regarding the ongoing informal negotiations on oil and gas cooperation with China. “Meanwhile, the DOE continues to

By Darwin G. Amojelar CONVERGE Information and Communications Technology Solutions Inc. said Wednesday it is investing more than $100 million in a trans-Pacific cable system in partnership with Keppel Telecommunications & Transportation. Converge ICT said it signed a binding term sheet with Keppel T&T, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keppel Midgard Holdings Pte. Ltd., for an indefeasible right of use for a fiber pair on the main trunk of Bifrost Cable System, which directly connects Singapore to the west coast of North America. KMH and Converge will jointly develop a branch on the Bifrost Cable System that will land in Davao, with Converge also being granted an IRU on the entire Davao branch. Converge will be engaged as the landing party for the Davao branch segment. The additional branch will significantly increase internet speed and network diversity for businesses and consumers in the Philippines. Converge said it would invest over $100 million (around P5 billion) for the whole project. “We are pleased to partner Converge through Bifrost, which is a significant transnational infrastructure project, enhancing the inter-connectivity between ASEAN countries,” said Thomas Manila Pang, chief executive of Keppel Standard T&T. TODAY Converge chief executive Dennis Anthony Uy said this was an important milestone not just for Converge but also for the Philippines as the company was expecting faster internet speed and greater resiliency.

develop the uncontested Philippine EEZ and continental shelf through the resumption of petroleum operations by our licensees and the award of new petroleum areas. The Philippines remains in business, COVID-19 and China, notwithstanding,” Cusi said. Cusi also asked service contract holders to proceed with their commitments following the lifting of the oil and gas exploration moratorium over the West Philippine Sea and the issuance of the notice to resume work in affected service contracts. He said earlier that the lifting of the moratorium on oil and gas exploration activities in the West Philippine Sea would not affect the ongoing talks between the Philippines and China for possible joint exploration in the area. The Philippines and China previously held talks for possible joint exploration development over the West Philippine Sea but negotiations were suspended amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Groups ask DOH, FDA to stop soliciting Bloomberg money CONSUMER advocacy and industry groups asked the Department of Health and the Food and Drug Administration to stop soliciting money from foreign charities, such as Bloomberg Philanthropies, so that they can be objective in regulating electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products and follow what the laws prescribe. The FDA conceded during a Congressional probe on March 16, 2021 that it applied for a grant in 2016 and received money the following year from foreign anti-tobacco organization International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung

Disease, or The Union, which is supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, to fund the drafting of vape and heated tobacco policy. This prompted Vaper Ako, Nicotine Consumers Union of the Philippines and the Philippine E-cigarette Industry Association to raise the alarm on the influence of foreign vested interest groups on local regulations. “The FDA, an attached agency of the DOH which was tasked to prepare the implementing guidelines for the regulation of vapor products and HTPs, should have not approached and collected money from The Union NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS and Bloomberg Philanthropies MAY 13, 2021 in the first place, because these Notice is hereby given that the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the following companies (the “Companies”) will organizations were known for be held on May 13, 2021 at the time and place as stated below.

Joaqui Gallardo of Vaper AKO said Congress should consider passing laws that prohibit foreign non-government organizations with vested interests from providing grants to regulatory agencies in the Philippines such as the FDA. The Union said on its website that it publicly advocated for the prohibition of the sale of e-cigarettes and HTPs in low- and middle-income countries which are home to more than 80 percent of the world’s smokers. “Now that we know that the FDA received money from these anti-vaping groups, the least the FDA could do is immediately cut ties with Bloomberg Philanthropies to remove any suspicion on and reassert its autonomy as a regulator,” Israel said.

CONGLOMERATE San Miguel Corp. said unit SMC Global Power Holdings Corp. is spending more than $1 billion to simultaneously build 31 battery energy storage facilities nationwide with a total rated capacity of 1,000 megawatts. “Our ongoing investment into battery energy storage facilities will greatly benefit power consumers all over the country, because this will mean that even faraway provinces or areas, can have the same stable and good quality power supply as everywhere else,” said SMC president Ramon Ang. Ang said some battery energy storage facilities were in the advanced stages of completion. The facilities, which will make up the company’s total committed capacity of over 1000 MW, will be built in strategic sites from Luzon to Mindanao where power quality mitigations are required. The company in 2018 completed the first battery energy storage facility in the country in its power plant in Masinloc, Zambales. SGPHC aggressively moved forward with the relatively new technology capable of improving power quality throughout the grid system and facilitate integration of renewable power sources into the country’s generation portfolio. The battery energy storage technology is a major step towards making intermittent renewable energy more viable in the country. “This means that provinces and islands will have better and more equal opportunities for industrialization and economic growth. If previously some areas could not attract investments because of unstable or poor power supply, battery energy storage will make power supply more stable and reliable. Battery storage will significantly reduce imbalances in the grid that cause power interruptions and brownouts,” Ang said. Alena Mae S. Flores

Deposits with balances above P500,000 also rose 9 percent to P13.1 trillion from P12.0 trillion in 2019. MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK

ABS-CBN files $40m in lawsuit in Florida ABS-CBN Corp. said Wednesday it filed a $40-million lawsuit in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida against 40 domains for allegedly pirating its content and infringing its copyrights and trademarks. “The court recently issued a preliminary injunction against these 40 pirate domains to take down the domains with a serving notice,” ABS-CBN said. The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida is the Federal United States District Court with territorial jurisdiction over the southern part of the state of Florida. The lawsuit comes as news reports show piracy made a comeback during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a report by TVtechnology. com on how media companies are dealing with piracy in the age of COVID, lockdowns resulted in more breaches of streaming security as a result of higher demand. Criminals were isolating at home as well and likely had more time and inclination to devote to nefarious activities. Darwin G. Amojelar

OLYMPIC hopeful and Asia and 2X SEA Gold Medalist Margielyn Didal is currently training with the National Skateboarding Association in her custom-built training facility in Soul Sierra, Cebu. Training in a Custom-Built Facility The Soul Sierra skatepark was specifically designed by Margielyn Didal, inspired by her experiences training at Red Bull’s facilities in the United States. The skatepark, funded by Red Bull and supported by the National Skateboarding Association, which provided additional input on the park’s structure, was completed in early 2021. Since then, the facility has provided Margielyn and other national skateboarders the opportunity to continue training in a safe and enclosed environment. “These new things that Red Bull brings such as the sport science department, physical therapy, and evaluation of elite athletes is a new thing that the sport of skateboarding has never had before,” said Carl Sambrano, President of the National Skateboarding Association. “It’s a great way to efficiently maximize the potential of an athlete. It’s just a great facility to practice in instead of us spending the money and effort to travel to another country.” Didal currently trains with members of the Philippine Skateboarding Team and is set to compete in the US and Europe before the Olympics. “It’s such an honor to be one of the skateboarders to represent the Philippines. I’m really hyped!” said Didal. “I still can’t believe I have my very own skatepark. It’s a dream come true.” Introducing the National Skateboarding Association Now recognized as an Olympic-level sport, the National Skateboarding Association was established in 2019 to enhance the training of Olympic and ASEAN Games athletes from the Philippine skateboarding community. “The NSA was formed when skateboarding became an Olympic sport,” added Sambrano. “It is required that every national Olympic committee delegates a national sporting association. It started with the national athletes competing and representing the Philippines for skateboarding.” In addition, skateboarding was one of the sports that was allowed to resume practice during the pandemic by the IATF (Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Disease). “The recent pandemic showed that skateboarding was one of the sports allowed to be practiced after lockdown. From it being illegal in some places to skateboarding facilities being created, it’s now free to skate in the Philippines,” Carl Sombrano reflects. “Regionally, the Philippines is number one. We have the most medals than any other country, in both men’s and women’s.” For more updates, follow Red Bull Skateboarding (@redbullskateboarding | @redbullskate) and Red Bull Philippines (@redbullph) on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter

Sotto does a LaMelo, takes Aussie league path to NBA By Peter Atencio

ECAUSE eighteen-year-old Kai Sotto won’t be eligible for the National Basketball Association Rookie Draft this year, moving over to Australia to play professional basketball is the next best option for him. The 7’3” Sotto has accepted a spot in the Adelaide 36ers’ roster and will soon set foot in Australia by August in time for the Australian National Basketball League season. This is the same path taken by popular Charlotte Hornets rookie LaMelo Ball, a former University of California, Los Angeles commit and five-star recruit, who chose to forgo college basketball amid eligibility concerns and play in the NBL for the Illawarra Hawks in 2019. Ball was selected third overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. Sotto’s agent Joel Bell said they have reached an agreement with the 36ers, which agreed to take care of Sotto’s development and eventual and possible entry into the 2022 NBA Rookie Draft.

“It was kind of a surprise to our people when I talked to several teams and they weren’t going to draft him. So that’s off the table. So we decided to look for other opportunities for him,” said Bell on Zoom. Sotto will get to join the 36ers once he is done with his commitments with the Gilas Pilipinas national men’s basketball this year. Now based in Miami, Florida with his family, Sotto will fly back to the Philippines to rejoin Gilas in their training. After that, Sotto will join Gilas for the last window of the FIBA Asia Cup qualifiers mid-June and the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Belgrade, Serbia from June 29 to July 4. “Playing for the national team is the

top goal of any player or athlete in their country. And I’m just excited for what’s ahead,” said Sotto, who was named brand ambassador of PLDTSmart Prepaid, in an interview on Zoom. Sotto discussed his plans with Bell and his management team from East West Private, through CEO Patty Scott and executive Maria Espaldon. Samahang Basketball ng Pilipinas president Al Pan- Kai Sotto lilio and Gilas Pilipinas program head Tab Baldwin also joined the virtual huddle. The 36ers, who placed seventh in the NBL, welcomed Sotto through head coach Henry Conner and manager Jeff Van Groningen. The squad represents the state of South Australia and is based in the state’s capital of Adelaide. The season will start in August and Groningen hopes that Sotto

Bike, plant for Sarangani Bay Protected Seascape MORE than 500 bikers rode from Soccsksargen Region took part in the Bike and Plant Activity, a bikathon and mangrove reforestation initiative to mark the 25th anniversary of the proclamation of the Sarangani Bay Protected Seascape. The bikers, representing various government agencies and private cycling groups, rode the 60km route from Gen. Santos City and planted various species of mangrove propagules in mangrove forests in the coastal towns of Alabel, Malapatan and Glan in Sarangani province. The coastal road along the bay is being primed as a bike tourism destination in southern Mindanao because of its scenic and culturally-rich highways. The event is spearheaded by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, through its Protected Area Management Office and Protected Area Management Board, to combine recreational sports and environmental education and action in Region 12.

Bikers take part in the advocacy event.

Community pantry for athletes? THE BOTTOM LINE LITO CINCO THE community pantry program started by Patricia Non in Maginhawa, Quezon City has really taken off not only in Metro Manila but even in some provinces. Simply put, it is a community project, where people can share what they have, while getting what they need in turn from these small, sometimes make-shift centers. What is sad, however, is the alleged red-tagging of this project, linking it to the Communist Party of the Philippines and other leftist groups. On the other hand, some local and national officials have also stated that

they are supportive of this “bayanihan” project as it addresses the needs of the less privileged in this time of the pandemic. Now why am I talking about this in a sports column? The reason is, I just thought that maybe a community pantry can also be set up, this time for national athletes, many of whom are also suffering from lack of finances to meet their needs, not to mention their families who depend on them. I believe athletes’ allowances have been reduced due to scarcity of funds. Remember that a big chunk of Philippine Sports Commission funding comes from PAGCOR among others, and casinos have been hit too by the pandemic. And I am sure the Philippine Sports Commission can provide space for this purpose and even initiate this as one of its programs to help athletes in

their times of need. This also makes it easier to control the access to it as only national athletes should benefit from this. The PSC can also provide the manpower needed to man the pantry to be set up and operate it at certain hours and days during the week. Some athletes can also volunteer. Of course, the hard part is the start up and the initial funding, but the PSC again can provide this while tapping other people to help out. Who can be tapped? For one, the well-off officials of the different National Sports Associations can pitch in. They have benefited for being sports officials in the past, in terms of travel abroad for one, and this will be a good time for them to pay back. Individuals and companies, who love and support sports will be another potential source. Ramon Ang and the San Miguel Group, Manuel Pangilinan and his companies, the Ayala group, Jean Henri Lhuillier and the Cebuana Group, the Sy family of SM, Puregold, Fred Uytengsu and Alaska are some

prospects, just to mention a few. What is a few thousands of pesos or some boxes of grocery items from them? I do not know if this idea will interest the people concerned, but it is my belief that sharing in these hard times will resonate for a lot of people especially that it will benefit our national athletes. For me, I would be willing to help out. After all, sports has been good to me with the more than four decades I have been involved with it, which is also one reason why I know that majority of athletes definitely do not belong to the upper class of society. In fact, they hope to improve their lot by being athletes. Come to think of it, there are a few athletes, who have made good i n life and can extend a helping hand. But someone has to initiate this project for it to get off the ground and not remain a one-time subject of my column. I wonder who will emerge if any? Maybe, Mon Fernandez of the PSC, who knows?

will be able to move over to Australia by then. Bell explained that NBA teams won’t accept Sotto because of the league’s eligibility rules on young recruits, saying that a player must be at least 19 years old to qualify. Also, a player must be at least one year removed from his high school graduation. And while players do not technically have to spend a year at college, many see the eligibility rules as a way to force them through the National Collegiate Athletic Association system in the US. A small handful of players usually opt to spend a year playing for leagues overseas instead because of this rule. There are certain players who are automatically eligible for the NBA draft, like those who complete four years of college, or those who wait four years after graduating high school.

PNVF holds national team tryouts in Subic THE Philippine National Volleyball Federation will hold a three-day national team tryouts in a bubble environment later this month in Subic, according to PNVF President Ramon “Tats” Suzara. Tryouts for the men’s and women’s volleyball teams are set on April 28 and 29 at the Subic Gym, while those for the men’s and women’s beach volleyball squads are scheduled on April 30 at the Subic Tennis Courts.

ABS-CBN files over $40m lawsuit vs 40 pirate domains in U.S. federal court ABS-CBN has filed a $40-million lawsuit entitled ABS-CBN v. 123Fullpinoymovieshub.com in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida against 40 pirate domains pirating the media network’s content and infringing its copyrights and trademarks. The court recently issued a preliminary injunction against these 40 pirate domains to take down the domains with a serving notice. The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida is the Federal United States District Court with territorial jurisdiction over the southern part of the state of Florida.

IN A year that saw movie theaters boarded up due to COVID-19, eight new films that did reach our screens impressed Academy voters enough that they are in contention for Hollywood's biggest award—the Oscar for best picture. The blockbusters may be absent, but an eclectic array of titles are in the mix, from a lavish Netflix ode to Tinseltown's Golden Age to a tiny indie drama about Korean immigrants scraping out a living off the land in rural America. Here are the eight movies battling for the top prize at Sunday's Oscars ceremony: 'The Father' Starring Anthony Hopkins and adapted by French playwright Florian Zeller from his own stage production, The Father takes viewers on a terrifying voyage through the onset of dementia. The film is set in a London apartment where ailing but stubborn father Anthony (Hopkins) has chased off his latest caregiver, forcing daughter Anthony Hopkins delivers a Anne (Olivia Colman) to tour-de-force lead performance in ‘The Father.’ find a replacement before her departure for Paris. But nothing in Anthony's life is quite as it seems, with the audience increasingly questioning his perspective, as his faculties

rapidly appear to fade. Widely praised at its Sundance premiere in January 2020, the film has many admirers—particularly for Hopkins' tour-de-force lead performance—but is a long shot for best picture. 'Judas and the Black Messiah' In a year that produced several acclaimed movies led by Black casts and filmmakers, only Judas and the Black Messiah made the Academy's best picture shortlist. A twist on the traditional biopic, the movie tells half of the story of slain Black Panther leader Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya) from the perspective of the FBI informant who betrayed him, William O'Neal (Lakeith Stanfield). Produced by Ryan Coogler— director of Marvel superhero film Black Panther —the 1960s Chicago-set movie follows Hampton's efforts to galvanize activists against police violence, even as the FBI encircled him and his followers. The latest entrant to the Oscars race, having only premiered to British actor Daniel Kaluuya, who critics this February, has made a plays Black Panther leader Fred splash with six nominations but Hampton in ‘Judas and the Black remains an outside bet.

That’s no wishful thinking considering the icon’s reputation as a patriot, and the fact that Kyle Gianan, who goes by the name Krazykyle in the local rap scene, recorded a tribute piece for him called “Dear Kuya.” For his massive and magnificent collection of antique bottles, Kyle had been labeled “The Filipino Picker” by History Channel back in August 2018, or just a month after he released his latest piece of music yet. That little detail on Spotify where “Dear Kuya” also happens to be his most streamed track to date meant that a new, exciting chapter in his career began at that point in time. With TV shows like American Pickers, Storage Wars, and Pawnstars, collecting old bottles has become a life-changing routine for a modern-day magbobote like Kyle. He is considered to be one of the youngest to pick at such a level. Kyle has been featured on several international and local TV shows and served as resident tagasuri of Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho for episodes involving antiques. He was himself picked as subject

“Our job is a little extra demanding, but I'm not complaining. It's part of it talaga,” Kathryn explains. “I really want to balance out my life. Every time I feel pressured and kapag nafefeel ko nagiging work work na siya, I just take time to relax and then okay na ulit. I take the time to do the things I like, like badminton or any sport, in between.” With her busy lifestyle, Kathryn also acknowledges the need for a deodorant that can keep up. For Kathryn, aside from smelling good, a good deodorant also has to work, too. She looks for three things in a deodorant: the smell, ingredients

Rapper’s picks for CNN’s Story of the Filipino, while his exposure on History Channel saw him with foreign host Jamie Dempsey picking bottles around Makati and Mandaluyong. The latter city is home to his Museo ng Kahapon of classic Filipinocrafted bottles. A graduate of Business Management in De La Salle University, Kyle travels to provinces, going house to house for hidden treasures, as well as acquiring items online and in auctions. “The adrenaline rush when you suddenly recall your mom opening you a fresh bottle of milk chocolate before going to school is simply priceless,” shared Kyle whose other songs dropped in digital stores by Warner Music Philippines include “Walang Tapon” and “I Want You Back,” featuring R&B singer Luke Mejares. Kyle’s collection features the Halili bottle, valued as a treasure and once owned by a governor named Fortunato

that care for her underarm skin, and the effectiveness at keeping sweat at bay. For Kathryn, having fresh, bright and smooth underarms boosts her confidence to conquer life. “Sana mas matulungan tayo na women and teenagers to overcome their insecurities and make them more confident with the right product for them, especially the underarms because we have to give them extra care and extra love,” she said. “Sobrang important yung underarms for us girls. I feel like, pag sobrang ganda yung underarms mo, mas mataas yung confidence level mo as a woman.”

Halili. Another is the first crown-capped bottle introduced in the Philippines which became the tansan we now know. He has a lot of Royal bottles including the rare Royal Amber, and the one branded Royal Tru Orange and made famous by Francis M. himself with his hit song “Ito Ang Gusto Ko.” "Basta hinawakan ni Kuya Kiko, mahal ko yan,” expressed the hip hopper whose first music video was directed by the Master Rapper. The so-called Millennial Magbobote spearheaded the Facebook group Mga Lumang Bote that gathers the top and most active bottle collectors in the country and exists as a key marketplace for sellers and buyers of such antique stuff. It currently has more than 13 thousand members. A book titled MaBOTEng Usapan, which Kyle co-wrote with historian Jaime Salvador Corpuz, should further cement his distinctive spot in current Pinoy pop culture. A personal care brand and actress Kathryn Bernardo are on a mission to give confidence to Filipino women living an extra demanding lifestyle.

HOUSEHOLD

By Bernadette Lunas

HEN going out to replenish fruits and vegetables has become a challenge, and ideally a once or twice a month task, refrigerators are our friend. But our fridge can only do so much—that is extending the shelf life of produce so we don’t have to deal with slimy lettuce, or worse, something that starts with “food” and ends with “poisoning.”

INSPIRED BY NATURE. Beko Pilipinas product marketing head Cecil Placia (left) introduces the HarvestFresh refrigerator technology that mimics the 24-hour sun cycle in the crisper to help preserve fruits and vegetables' vitamins for longer.

Sun cycle tech keeps produce fresh

The HarvestFresh technology is available in Beko's 12 cu. ft. and 14.4 cu. ft. refrigerators.

Recognizing the value of getting vitamins and nutrients from fresh sources, while understanding the challenge of actually getting those vitamins and nutrients before they are gone, European home appliance brand Beko introduces HarvestFresh technology. The HarvestFresh refrigerator technology mimics the 24-hour sun cycle in the crisper to help preserve fruits and vegetables’ vitamins for longer and keep them fresh “as the day they were picked.” “Fruits and vegetables lose their vitamins over time,” Beko Pilipinas product marketing head Cecil Placia said during a virtual launch on Facebook, adding, “shortly after harvesting, fruits and vegetables lose their moisture and are at a great risk of spoiling.” Citing a study that shows fruits and vegetables lose 30 percent of their nutrients three days after harvest, she opined, “No matter how many fruits and vegetables you take, the nutrients will not be enough for your body.” To address this issue, the HarvestFresh technology uses three light colors: blue (for dawn), green (for midday), red (for dusk) to simulate natural sunlight to recreate the natural living environment of fruits and vegetables.

The LED light in the crisper, where produce are usually stored, illuminates in sequence within 12 hours (blue light for four hours, green light for two hours, and red light for six hours) and turns dark for another 12 (simulating nighttime). The “inspired by nature, powered by light” technology, according to Placia, “helps maintain the level of vitamins in fruits and vegetables,” as backed by the study Beko conducted together with Intertek which showed that HarvestFresh refrigerators “preserve or even increase” the amount of vitamins C and A in tomatoes and bell peppers. Marketing manager Dyeun Zapanta assured the LED light that stays on for 12 hours in the crisper consumes low energy. The HarvestFresh technology is available in Beko’s 12 cu. ft. and 14.4 cu. ft refrigerators in silver, dark inox, and black glass finishes. Other refrigerator innovations of the brand include EverFresh technology that maintains ideal humidity in the crisper, NeoFrost Dual Cooling Technology that provides two separate cooling systems for the freezer and fresh food compartment, and ProSmart inverter technology which is four times quieter than conventional compressor.

Earth Day special issue

Heal the world on Earth Day By Peter Paul Duran

HE Earth needs healing.

This does not only pertain to the current situation we’re in -- a global fight against an invisible virus as the world must likewise be assuaged from the threat of climate change and environmental destruction.

And this will never materialize with the efforts of the few. Thankfully, an amalgam of like-minded institutions, governments and private individuals with a love for our planet have banded together for decades to voice out environmental concerns, show support for the protection of the earth’s species, and inform the public about the state of our planet. It’s understandable that we pick our battles with a pandemic in mind. The life and health

of the populace can never be overlooked, but looking at the bigger picture, we only have one home, and we live only on one planet. It may be a stretch for some, but the lockdowns and quarantine life that came as a result of drastic measures to help quell COVID-19 infections may have been a tap on the back for us to trace our roots. For those who can, it was a realization for us to take a step back and look at the price of progress--- a wake-up call to respect the

boundaries of nature and keep ourselves and the Earth we call home healthy. As the world returns to normal, we can’t go back to business-as-usual. This is the theme for Earth Day 2021, and the words above could never ring truer than ever. For three days, world leaders will spearhead the call to #RestoreOurEarth. From April 20 to 22, join in the global movement to help Continued on C3
