Cases spike in urban centers

DOH also notes rising infections in 10 regions, but OCTA still not alarmed By Willie Casas

OME urban centers outside Metro Manila are experiencing a significant rise in COVID-19 cases, a research group tracking the pandemic said Wednesday.

“Significant increases in new cases were observed in Cagayan de Oro, Davao City and Iloilo City,” the OCTA Research Group said in its latest report. Iloilo had 58 new cases, up 99 percent from last week, while Cagayan de Oro and Davao posted a weekly increase of 52 percent and 36 percent, respectively, OCTA said. Zamboanga City still recorded the highest number of new infections over the past week with 158 cases, representing a 4 percent rise. OCTA, on the other hand, has said the increases outside Metro Manila, while significant, were not yet alarming and still supported allocating the bulk of vaccines to the National Capital Region, which it considers the epicenter of the pandemic. For the period May 11 to 17, Metro Manila’s average daily attack rate (ADAR) was 9.91 per 100,000 people. Next page

HOUSE Majority Leader and Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez on Wednesday said the adoption of four concurrent resolutions granting amnesty to the members of four rebel groups is an initial step to full implementation of President Rodrigo Duterte’s program to reintegrate them into civilian life. Romualdez, chairman of the House committee on rules, said the resolutions will enhance the Duterte administration’s reconciliation and peace building efforts by welcoming rebels who will lay down their arms and return to the fold of the law.

‘Not enough jabs for A4 category’ By Willie Casas

EALTH Secretary Francisco Duque III admitted Wednesday the incoming supplies of COVID-19 vaccines were not enough to cover the A4 category, or essential workers, as the country was still far from reaching herd immunity.

only be concentrated in “NCR + 8” or Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, Metro Davao, and provinces that form Calabarzon and Central Luzon. “We will concentrate A4 and A5 vaccinations in areas where there is a surge in cases, so that’s NCR + 8.),” Health Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje said during the Laging Handa briefing. Galvez had earlier announced that essential workers and indigents, belonging to the A4 and A5 priority sectors, would be vaccinated starting June once the country’s supply stabilized. Citing data from the National Economic and Development Authority, Galvez said there are 12.8 million essential workers and 16 million indigents. On the other hand, Cabotaje said the vaccination of the A4 and A5 groups would still be simultaneous with the inoculation of health workers, senior citizens, and persons with comorbidities or the A1, A2 and A3 groups. Cabotaje also said experts would

Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Secretary Joey Concepcion said Wednesday almost all economic frontliners, including business processing outsourcing workers, have been included in the A4 priority group for COVID-19 vaccination. In an interview on Unang Balita, Concepcion said: “Almost all economic frontliners [are now part of the A4 priority group]. During our meeting with NITAG composed of doctors, there were sectors not yet included such as BPO, et cetera.

“Part of our strategy is to give them additional vaccines to their regular allocation,” Cabotaje said in an online briefing. “Secretary Carlito Galvez and Secretary Vince Dizon are flying there to oversee what needs to be done, what needs to be strengthened in the response of local health workers and the local government,” she said in Filipino. The Philippines logged 4,700 new COVID-19 cases Wednesday, bringing the total to 1,159,071, as seven laboratories failed to submit their data on time, the DOH said. The DOH reported 136 new fatalities, bringing the total COVID-19 death toll to 19,507. The DOH reported 6,986 newly recovered people, bringing the total recoveries to 1,089,613. That left 49,951 active cases, of which 92.8 percent were mild, 2.2 percent were asymptomatic, 1.5 percent were critical, 2.1 percent were severe, and 1.36 percent were moderate. Nationwide, the DOH reported 58 percent of ICU beds, 45 percent of isolation beds, 48 percent of ward beds, and 39 percent of ventilators, were in use. In Metro Manila, the DOH reported 56 percent of ICU beds, 41 percent of isolation beds, 45 percent of ward beds, and 41 percent of ventilators were in use. The DOH said the Philippines hopes to achieve herd community against COVID-19 in Metro Manila and eight other areas by November this year. The department plans to inoculate at least 108,000 people a day in the National Capital Region (NCR), Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Pampanga, Rizal, Metro Cebu and Metro Davao as

more shots arrive, Cabotaje told state television PTV4. The Philippines remains dependent on the global supply of COVID-19 vaccines, but the DOH is optimistic as more vaccines are expected to arrive in the second half of the year, she said. “We will receive about 10 million to 11 million doses in June, July, [and] August so more or less that will be steady,” she said. Since March, the country’s vaccination program has been limited to health frontliners, senior citizens and persons with co-morbidities due to the low supply of vaccines. The government is hoping to open the inoculation program to workers in essential industries and indigent people in the National Capital Region and nearby provinces, Cabotaje said. “We will concentrate the vaccination in geographical areas where there is a surge in cases,” she said. Cabotaje said the government is also closely monitoring some areas in the Visayas and Mindanao that have been reporting an increase in fresh COVID-19 cases. Also on Wednesday, Public Works Secretary Mark Villar said his department has spent P56.2 billion for the construction of modular hospitals and quarantine facilities with about 25,000 beds across the country so far, with a plan to increase this to 27,000 by next month. “In terms of quarantine facilities, there is a significant improvement from last month, but nevertheless we still continue to aggressively build so that we have a sufficient buffer in case there is another surge,” he told the ANC news channel. much is clear,” Vitug said. She said then US assistant secretary Kurt Campbell brokered the talks with China – something that then Chinese ambassador to the Philippines Fu Ying denied. Vitug said in her interviews, the issue of whether the order to pull out the two Philippine vessels from Scarborough was raised to the level of President Aquino. “I am not sure if they brought it up to the President, if it reached his level. The Coast Guard commandant then said they were told to pull out because of the typhoon,” she said. integrate as soon as possible all rebels and insurgents into the mainstream society under the rule of law, including those who may have committed unlawful acts.

you have to take whatever is available,” she said. Cabotaje also reminded the public to register for vaccines and only show up at vaccination sites during their schedule. Earlier, the Health department’s Metro Manila director said long lines for Pfizer vaccines were caused by people who showed up without a schedule. As of May 18, the Philippines vaccinated 2.5 million people, which is still far from the government’s target of inoculating 50 million to 70 million people this year. A health expert on Wednesday said getting a vaccine, regardless of its brand, is the most effective weapon against COVID-19. Dr. Lulu Bravo, of the University of the Philippines College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital, made the appeal to the public, as several persons in Manila and Parañaque cities came to avail of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, with many of them lining up as early as 2 a.m. Pfizer-BioNTech has an efficacy rate of 95 percent on a study population and 92 percent across all races, as based on the evaluation of the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA). “What matters most is the effectiveness and the impact that a vaccine can do to the country. Millions have been inoculated with Sinovac in Indonesia, and the outcome was good as cases decreased, and their figures are even better than ours,” Bravo said. “This is the real-world impact, which is much, much higher compared with efficacy based on clinical trials where there are 40,000 [or] 50,000 participants. But this one involves millions of people,” she added.

said seven PNP SAF pilots were undergoing transition training on the singleengine light utility Airbus H-125 helicopter while three other pilots officially started their training on Wednesday. NAPOLCOM Vice Chairman and Executive Officer Vitaliano Aguirre II said the 1,000 regular recruitment quota shall be allotted to the National Capital Region Police Office in the 1st recruitment cycle to improve the police-to-

population ratio in the region, address personnel losses due to the localization program, and satisfy the personnel requirement of the Office. “The 16,314 attrition recruitment quota, on the other hand, is intended to replace uniformed personnel losses due to separation from the service (retirement, designation, death, dismissal from the service, absence without leave),” Aguirre said.

Robredo said she had booked herself an appointment with Quezon City’s “QC Protektado site via EZ Consult” last May 13 for 18 staff members of her office, who all belonged to A3. “’Yung ibang mga kasama ko today yung mga nag urong sulong nung nakaraan,” she said.

“Katabi ko sa picture si Julius. Isa sa mga office drivers. Ayaw na ayaw dati. Mahabang kumbinsihan. In fact, sinasabi niya kanina, mag-reretire nalang siya. Ngayon tapos na kami. Happy na siya. Sabi niya, first time in his life siya na-inject,” the Vice President added. She urged the people to have themselves vaccinated against COVID-19.

Duque, during an interview on Balitanghali, said around 12 million economic frontliners would be needing about 24 million doses of vaccine. “It’s still insufficient because we need to finish vaccinating 9 million A2 group senior citizens who need 18 million doses because we need two doses per person,” Duque said. “We still need 10 million doses for people with comorbidities,” Duque added. Duque said 500,000 doses of Sinovac were expected to arrive on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Meanwhile, Duque said 160,000 doses of vaccines made by American drugmaker Moderna would arrive later this month.

In addition, Duque said 300,000 Sputnik V doses would also arrive soon, while 2.2 million doses of Pfizer would also be delivered. During the Talk to the Nation aired on Tuesday, vaccine czar Carlito Galvez said they were preparing to inoculate A4 and A5 (indigent) groups once supplies of vaccines become steady. Duque echoed Galvez’s suggestion, saying they plan for an overlapping of vaccination for A4 groups to ramp up inoculation.

Stand-by Loan Phase 2 (PDSL 2). The loan is a general budgetary support aimed at helping Manila finance its pandemic response measures, such as testing and quarantine facility expansion and social amelioration program for vulnerable people and sectors, with the re-imposition of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in the NCR Plus on March 29, the Japanese Embassy said. The two leaders also concurred on close coordination for the promotion of both a “free and open Indo-Pacific” and the “ASEAN Outlook for the IndoPacific (AOIP)” in light of the 65th anniversary of the normalization of the Japan-Philippines diplomatic relations and a decade-old strategic partnership. Suga and Duterte also shared their intention to strengthen cooperation in the Sulu and Celebes Seas and its surrounding areas. On bilateral cooperation, the prime minister reiterated he would spare no effort for the Philippine Government’s response to COVID-19. On the situation in Myanmar, Suga mentioned that Japan “highly values ASEAN’s efforts” including the ASEAN Leaders’ Meeting last April 24, as he and Duterte concurred on continued coordination for the improvement of the situation. In response, President Duterte stated that Japan’s aid in the legacies of the subway development and the extension of the North-South Commuter Railway in Metro Manila “would live on for generations to come.” He also expressed gratitude for Japan’s assistance to the Mindanao peace process. In a statement, Malacañang said the President understood the earlier decision of Suga to cancel his visit to the Philippines due to the resurgence of COVID-19 cases in Japan last month. “Prime Minister Suga conveyed his regrets on the postponement of his official visit to the Philippines due to Japan’s domestic COVID-19 situation. President Duterte expressed full support of the decision and stressed that the Philippines stands in solidarity with the Japanese people in facing the pandemic,” the Palace statement read.

“Most LGUs (local government units) within the NCR bubble (National Capital Region, Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna, and Cavite) are on a downward trend in new cases,” the OCTA group said. The reproduction number, which refers to the number of people that a person with COVID-19 can infect, was 0.80 nationwide and 0.54 in Metro Manila. The current seven-day average of new cases in the Philippines is 5,834. This was 11 percent lower than the previous week, OCTA said. Earlier this week, President Rodrigo Duterte warned he might impose a stricter lockdown should COVID-19 infections surge again, and if people continue to violate health protocols, adding that the country must prepare for the worst. The Department of Health (DOH) said Wednesday that 10 regions experiencing a rise in COVID-19 cases will be allocated more COVID-19 vaccines. Local authorities and the national government are working to address the COVID-19 situation in the 10 areas, especially in Region 9, Health Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje said. The DOH flagged Zamboanga Peninsula and nine other regions due to an increase in COVID-19 cases. DOH data showed that the occupancy rate of intensive care unit, isolation, and ward beds in Region 9 had breached the high-risk category at 75 percent. It also logged a 49 percent case growth rate and attack rate of 6.10 cases per 100,000 population.

pardon me, I cannot remember,” said the 97-year old Enrile. Vitug said the conversation between Enrile and Aquino took place in July 2012 during a Cabinet meeting after the Philippines withdrew its two vessels – a Coast Guard patrol vessel and a Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources survey ship – to end the nine-week standoff with China in the Scarborough Shoal. Vitug said Enrile’s advice to President Rodrigo Duterte to be friendly to China

was in contrast to his previous stance. Asked if she was able to ask any official of the Aquino administration as to why the Philippine vessels were not ordered to return to Scarborough after China reneged on its commitment to withdraw its ships, Vitug said it was not brought up during her interviews for the book. “I think it’s because China was already in Scarborough Shoal then. Our vessels left. China’s fishing vessels also left but its militia vessels remained,” she said. “There was a breach in the agreement brokered by the United States – that

3.6m Pinoys fight mental health woes amid virus

Economic frontliners

AS THE Philippines continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, at least 3.6 million Filipinos are battling mental health issues, the Department of Health (DOH) revealed Wednesday. Frances Prescilla Cuevas, chief health program officer of the DOH’s Disease Prevention and Control Bureau, said 1.14 million Filipinos have depression, 847,000 are battling alcohol-use disorders, and 520,000 others were diagnosed with bipolar disorder. “This is an understatement. This is a figure that’s underreported because it only tackles a few of the conditions,” Cuevas said. “It only means that we will find more cases if we have more data,” she said. Contracting COVID-19 also affects a person’s mental health, as a DOH study showed that one in every three COVID-19 patients was diagnosed with neuropsychiatric condition six months after being infected with the disease, Cuevas said. “The coronavirus pandemic is inducing a considerable degree of fear, worry and concern,” she said. “Psychological impact includes elevated rates of stress or anxiety... A lot of adult Filipinos are highly stressed,” she said. The quality of living during the pandemic “has a great impact on the psychological issues” that affect a person’s mental state, Cuevas said. “We are in the same storm, but we are not on the same boat,” she said. “’Yung iba, stable masyado ang kanilang pamumuhay ngunit yung iba ay talaga namang hirap na hirap sa pandemic,” she said. The government has been providing cash aid and food packages to indigent families to ensure that Filipinos would not have to worry about survival during the pandemic, Cuevas said.

Bayanihan 3 approval seen before House adjourns

Makati, PRC sign deal for isolation dorm By Joel E. Zurbano

By Maricel V. Cruz HOPES are high that the proposed Bayanihan to Arise as One Act, or simply Bayanihan 3, will be approved by the House of Representatives before it adjourns sine die on June 4, according to Deputy Speaker Rufus Rodriguez. Principally authored by Speaker Lord Allan Velasco, the proposed P405.6billion Bayanihan 3 includes two rounds of cash aid worth P2,000 to be given to every Filipino regardless of social status. “I am conﬁdent that under the leadership of Speaker Velasco, we are going to have this approved. This is a very vital measure especially to combat COVID-19,” Rodriguez told a media forum, referring to the third round of COVID-19 relief package. He added: “I am willing to stay on until midnight for the deliberation of this bill. We have to have additional support to our people especially because the pandemic is still raging.” Rodriguez also expressed his concurrence with the Senate to hold sessions even on Thursdays, saying nine session days are too short considering the vital measures that needed to be taken up in the House. “I am in favor of having a Joint Resolution that will add three additional session days,” he said. The lawmaker from Cagayan de Oro also explained the inclusion of the P54.6-B gratuity funds for retired military and uniformed personnel (MUPs) in the Bayanihan 3. Asked about the impeachment complaint against Supreme Court Associate Justice Marvic Leonen, Rodriguez said he was waiting for Committee on Justice Chairman Vicente Veloso III to convene the panel to determine the complaint’s sufﬁciency in form and substance. Rodriguez also emphasized that the justice panel will work on the impeachment complaint “as it is a constitutional duty of Congress.” Meanwhile, on the Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) No. 2, Rodriguez opined that liberalizing the restrictive economic provisions of the Constitution is necessary amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “We really believe that we need this when we go back to normalcy because after all, when we have herd immunity and we have all the vaccine we will be returning back to normal. I am quite optimistic about it,” Rodriguez said.

Hospitals dip into savings to keep going, PHA says

RIVATE and government hospitals used their savings and borrowed money from banks in order to sustain their operations after the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) failed to pay the claims for COVID-19 cases since March 2020, the Philippine Hospital Association said on Wednesday. PHA president Dr. Jaime Almora disclosed the plight of hospitals during a hearing conducted by the Senate Committee on Economic Affairs on the status of industries hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. “They have to dig into their savings and they have to borrow from the bank. Some hospitals who have called already informed me that they have borrowed from the bank for their operating budget,” he said. Almora said in the Senate hearing that the huge amount of unpaid claims to the hospitals for COVID-19 cases are already “causing severe ﬁnancial distress” to hospitals. He said reimbursements for other disease were being paid by the state insurer, but he pointed out that hospitals are

mainly admitting COVID-19 cases. The PHA president said PhilHealth has yet togive an explanation on this policy. “That is the biggest problem because we are not given a reason why. This is now causing severe ﬁnancial distress to private hospitals as well as the government hospitals,” he said. Almora cited one hospital as an example where PhilHealth has yet to pay a total of P1.2 billion. “Remember, that if the hospitals are not paid, the doctors, the professional component, is not also paid. So here are doctors working for the COVID patients, but they are not being paid,” Almora stressed. Reacting to Almora’s report, Senator Francis Pangilinan said

this is “unacceptable.” “At this point parang ‘Wala kaming pakialam sa inyo, magtiis kayo.’ [‘Yan] ang dating sa atin dito dahil you are the frontliners and yet this is how you are treated by government in terms of government support, in terms of funding. This is totally unacceptable,” Pangilinan said. (At this point, it seems that they are telling the hospitals that ‘We don’t care and just deal with it.’ That is how it looks like. You are the frontliners and yet, this is how you are treated by government in terms of government support, in terms of funding. This is totally unacceptable.) “We must look into this and get results. March 2020 pa. It’s already May 2021. We hope and we intend, kakalampagin natin ang (we should call the attention of) PhilHealth,” he added. Almora said the PHA has sent a letter to PhilHealth president and CEO Dante Gierran last March 28 and they had a meeting on April 5. He said Gierran was “sympathetic and accommodating,” promising them that PhilHealth will pay for the reimbursements. Willie Casas

THE Makati City government on Wednesday said it signed an agreement with the Philippine Red Cross to build the Makati Science High School isolation facility in Barangay Cembo. Mayor Abigail Binay and PRC chairman Senator Richard Gordon signed the memorandum of agreement last Tuesday. The project, according to Binay, will strengthen the city’s program of isolating individuals who tested positive for coronavirus disease. She said taking care of persons with mild cases in a separate environment will limit the transmission of the virus to other members of the family and their immediate community. “While Makati has ample room and facilities that can be converted into isolation or quarantine facilities, it is the shortage of manpower that we find most difficult. So when this setup was offered by Senator Gordon, I immediately grabbed this opportunity so we can continue to increase our healthcare capacity. This 56-bed facility at the Makati Science High School dorm will greatly help our efforts in fighting COVID-19,” Binay said. She explained that the facility will benefit patients, tagged as “asymptomatic spreaders”, living in small apartments or one-room homes who worry about the health and safety of their families. The city chief executive added it will also help treat patients who are in the early stages of infection, and not wait for the symptoms to become severe and untreatable. The Makati Science High School isolation facility, which is the city’s fifth quarantine facility, is actually the school’s dormitory. A unique feature of this facility has family rooms so family members who are ill can still stay together while getting expert medical care. Apart from this, there are male, female, and gender-neutral rooms so patients can feel at ease while under quarantine. Senator Gordon, for his part, thanked Mayor Binay for trusting the Red Cross and the city’s immediate response to this partnership.

Water security projects on track—MWSS METROPOLITAN Waterworks and Sewerage System Chairman and acting Administrator Reynaldo V. Velasco commended the signing of a new concession agreement between the government and the Maynilad Water Services, Inc. “The signing of the new concession agreement is a big step towards water security and it’s a win-win for all stakeholders,” Velasco said. With the new agreement, various water security projects can now move forward, he said. “Public-private partnership is still the best option for water infrastructure projects at this time,” he added. Maynilad’s capital expenditure projects will rehabilitate and replace old pipelines, install new pipes in unserved areas, construct new pumping stations, reservoirs and treatment facilities, among other activities that will result in

better service to its customers. The signing came closely after the government signed a renegotiated concession agreement with Manila Water Company, Inc. in the ﬁrst quarter of the year. Following the template of the new Manila Water concession agreement, the new Maynilad concession agreement ﬁnetuned certain provisions as it guaranteed the economic viability of the concessionaire’s capital investments. According to Justice Secretary Menardo Guevara, head of the panel that reviewed the concession agreements of Manila Water and Maynilad, provisions such as the non-interference clause and burdening consumers with corporate income tax were removed. He added, “contingent liabilities of the government have been substantially reduced, and a framework for better service to the public has been put in place.”

With the signing of the new agreement, Maynilad will impose a tariff freeze until December 2022. It will also forego collecting the P3.4 billion compensation from the government. The Permanent Court of Arbitration in Singapore has ordered the Philippine government to pay for the losses incurred by Maynilad because of the prior’s refusal to approve a water rate hike. The revised CA was the outcome of a thorough review and negotiations conducted by a government panel led by the Department of Justice based on an order from President Rodrigo Duterte last year. The 1997 concession agreements with Manila Water Services, Inc. and Maynilad Water Company were signed and took effect during the Ramos administration ushering a private-public partnership for the water sector.

Indemnify victims of NPA-CPP abuses—task force

TAGAYTAY’S CHOICE.

Tagaytay City administers Astra Zeneca vaccine to senior citizens and persons with comorbidities for the first time in this city. The city doesn’t say if the same brand will be used for the second dose since the Department of Health has ruled that henceforth, it will no longer identify the vaccine brand for future inoculations against COVID-19.

The New People’s Army and officials of the Communist Party of the Philippines, collectively referred to as a communist terrorist group, may be compelled to indemnify victims of their human rights abuses and atrocities in the amount of billions of pesos, a spokesman for the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, said on Wednesday. Undersecretary Severo Catura, Executive Director of the Presidential Human Rights Committee Secretariat (PHRCS), explained that under existing local and international laws, particularly the International Humanitarian Law, parties that are found guilty of such abuses and atrocities committed in a situation of internal armed conflict may be compelled by the courts to indemnify their victims. Under Section 14 of Republic Act No. 9851, or the “Philippine Act on Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law, Genocide and Other Crimes Against Humanity” signed into law on 11 December 2009, Catura said the courts follow the principles relating to reparations, including restitution, compensation and

rehabilitation, and determine the amount of the same based on the scope and extent of damages inﬂicted. “However, regardless of the amount that shall be determined and demanded by the courts, it cannot equal the pain and suffering brought about by past and present human rights abuses and atrocities perpetrated by the CTGs,” Catura, also NTF-ELCAC spokesperson on Human Rights, Peace Process and international Engagements, stressed. “It is high time that they are held accountable for their spate of willful killings, their destruction of government and private property, their use of children as combatants, their internal purges, and their wanton disregard for human rights,” Catura added. “Already, the AFP has submitted a list of CPP-NPA atrocities and the same shall be judiciously acted upon, and we shall likewise refer the matter to the International Committee of the Red Cross that has ably guided our Armed Forces in the strict observance of IHL in their line of duty,” Catura said.

DENR-JICA turns over completed infra projects to LGUs By Abe Almirol DUPAX DEL SUR, Nueva Vizcaya—The ten-year Forestland Management Project of the DENR, which started in 2012 through a funding support from the Japan International Cooperation Agency, has turned over four completed infrastructure to local government units. In her turnover massage, Regional Executive Director Gwendolyn C. Bambalan

of DENR Cagayan Valley said, “I saw two ﬂags, and for me it represents the union of two parties, just like a wedding. You have decorated the venue as if two people are getting married, so I hope that this turnover ceremony does not only signify the partnership of Philippines and Japan, but DENR’s partnership with the LGUs and all stakeholders.” Bambalan led the DENR party in the formal ceremonies held Monday and Tuesday (May 17-18) in four separate venues. She

was referring to the intertwined ﬂag-lets of the Philippines and Japan placed by ceremony organizers around the project sites to highlight JICA’s funding support. Representatives of the province, municipality and barangays signed the turnover documents either as witnesses or accepting parties. The Ofﬁce of the Congressman also sent Vice Governor Jose Tomas and his son, Jose Tomas Jr. to witness the acceptance of the project. “Nueva Vizcaya is fortunate to have the

biggest number of projects in all FMP sites in the country. As such, we urge the LGUs and the people’s organizations here to take good care of these facilities,” PENRO Edgar Martin exhorted members of the beneﬁciary communities. The 9.8-kilometer irrigation pipeline in Brgy. Buyasyas, Kayapa was accepted by members of the I’wak indigenous cultural community, who are also partners of the FMP in developing agroforestry and plan-

tations sites within their ancestral domain claim covered by a Community Based Forest Management Agreement. The water pipeline would provide irrigation water to sustain several hundreds of hectares of agroforestry and tree plantations established along the catchment area of the Santa Cruz River, a subwatershed of the Magat River. The pipelines connect 12 water storage tanks arranged in series from the source to the end-users.

Land Bank releases P7.5b loans, grants to almost 1m rice farmers T By Othel V. Campos

HE Land Bank of the Philippines, in partnership with the Department of Agriculture, has disbursed a total of P7.5 billion in loans and cash grants to some 962,126 rice farmers as of Aril by virtue of the Rice Tariffication Law. Of the total amount, P1.03 billion in cumulative loans were extended to 6,218 eligible borrowers through the Expanded Rice Credit Assistance under the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (ERCA-RCEF).

Available until 2024, LandBank will lend up to P500 million in credit assistance annually under ERCARCEF to rice farmers in 38 rice-producing provinces at affordable interest rates, with minimum documentary

requirements. The bank has also released a total of P2.52 billion in loans to 165,963 small rice farmers through the Survival and Recovery Assistance (SURE Aid) Lending Program, providing an immediate credit assistance of P15,000 per borrower with zero interest and no collateral to rice farmers who are tilling one hectare of land and below. Meanwhile, under the DA’s Rice Farmer Financial Assistance (RFFA) Program, a total of 253,826 farmers were provided cash assistance amounting to P1.27 billion. The RFFA is a P3 billion unconditional cash transfer program which aims

to give P5,000 financial assistance each to rice farmers who are tilling 0.5 to 2 hectares of land. Land Bank also released a total of P2.68 billion in cash grants to 536,119 farmer-beneficiaries under the DA’s Financial Subsidy to Rice Farmers (FSRF) Program. Through the FSRF, small rice farmers tiling one hectare or less who are not covered under the RFFA Program are provided a P5,000 cash subsidy to augment their production needs. Earlier, Senator Francis Pangilinan warned that lowering rice tariffs through Executive Order No. 135 will further burden Filipino farmers

Minority: Proper procedures will be observed in Leonen case THE leader of the Minority Bloc at the House of Representatives on Wednesday assured the public that his group will observe “proper procedure” in tackling and deciding on the impeachment complaint filed against Supreme Court Associate Justice Marvic Leonen. House Minority Leader Joseph Stephen Paduano made the statement following the referral of the complaint against Leonen to the House Committee on Justice Tuesday. The magistrate has been accused of alleged failure to file his statement of assets and liabilities for 15 years during his tenure at the University of the Philippines. “The House Minority Bloc will ensure that proper procedure will be observed and followed in deciding on this case,” Paduano said. On March 25, Speaker Lord AllanVelasco transmitted the impeachment complaint filed by Edwin Cordevilla and endorsed by Ilocos Sur 2nd District Rep. Angelo Marcos Barba to the House Committee on Rules. The rules committee, chaired by House Majority Leader Martin Romualdez, on Tuesday endorsed the impeachment complaint to the justice committee. According to the rules, the Speaker should have an impeachment complaint included in the order of business or agenda of the House session ten days from receipt of the complaint. It shall be referred then to the House Committee on Justice within three session days. Maricel V. Cruz

PNP human rights head sorry for red-tagging By Maricel Cruz THE chief of the Philippine National Police - Human Rights Affairs Office has apologized to community pantry organizers who experienced profiling or red-tagging. “Some of these incidents of socalled profiling or red-tagging are not covered by the police, by the entire PNP. We have taken action to ensure that these actions will not be repeated,” Brig. Gen. Vincent Calanoga, acting chief of the PNP-HRAO, said during a hearing of the House Committee on Human Rights. “To those who were affected, the PNP-HRAO asks for your forgiveness for whatever may have been reported or posted on social media,” Calanoga added. He said policemen patrolling the areas where community pantries are located are just monitoring the situation in their respective areas of responsibility. “When policemen ask you, for example those who are roving, that is because they will include that in their patrol report. I hope our citizens also understand the job of our police,” Calanoga said. Meanwhile, Cavite Rep. Crispin Remulla slammed organizers of community pantries for using social media to publicize their good works, saying such posts have been used to attack the government’s response to the health crisis. “Helping those in need should be done sincerely without having other people know about it. Publicizing it will defeat the purpose of Bayanihan,” Remulla said.

Retired SC Justice Brion designated Judicial Academy chancellor By Rey E. Requejo THE Supreme Court has appointed retired Associate Justice Arturo D. Brion as chancellor of the Philippine Judicial Academy, the Court’s education arm. Brion will take over the post when the term of office of retired Associate Justice Adolfo Azcuna as PhilJA chancellor ends on May 31. Under Republic Act No. 8557 that created PhilJA, Brion will serve as chancellor for two years, a term of office that can be extended by the SC. Azcuna was appointed chancellor

in 2009 and has served that post since then. PhilJA was created by the SC in 1996. In 1998, it got its mandate under RA No. 8557 which institutionalized the academy as “training school for justices, judges, court personnel, lawyers, and aspirants to judicial posts.” PhilJA has a governing Board of Trustees which is composed of the Chief Justice as ex-officio chairman; senior associate justice as ex-officio vice chairman; the chancellor of the academy; the presiding justices of the Court of Appeals and the Sandigan-

bayan, the Court Administrator, the president of the Philippine Judges Association, and the president of the of the Philippine Association of Law Schools as ex-officio members; and a judge of a first level court as appointive member. Brion has served all three branches of government. In 1984, he was elected member of the Philippine National Assembly as Mambabatas Pambansa. He was secretary of labor for two years and was eventually appointed as associate justice of the Court of Appeals before assuming the position of SC associate justice until he retired in 2016.

He finished his law degree at the Ateneo de Manila University School of Law in 1974 and passed the bar examinations in the same year as topnotcher with a grade of 91.65 percent. At the law school, he had the distinction of being cum laude, class valedictorian, and awardee of the Golden Leaf Award, Gold Medal for Academic Excellence, and First Honors Gold Medal. He obtained his Master of Laws degree at the Osgoode Hall Law School of York University in Toronto, Canada in 1994, with Labor Law as his main area of study.

BARMM passes Education Code By Nash Maulana THE Bangsamoro Parliament approved on Tuesday the Education Code of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, establishing a “complete and integrated quality education system for the future of the region’s children and youth.” Chief Minister Ahod Balawag Ebrahim said the Education Code embodies the collective aspiration that “No Bangsamoro child shall be left behind.” Member of Parliament Mohagher Iqbal said provisions of the BARMM Education Code translate into a legislated policy “the hopes and ideals of the Bangsamoro people for an inclusive, culture-based, effective, and sustainable education framework.” “We wanted a version that includes significant provisions that will enhance the Bangsamoro education system, protect the well-being and rights of our teachers, non-teaching staff, parents, and learners,” Iqbal said. “As we continue our journey for peace and development, I don’t think there can be any landmark accomplish-

ment that is worth celebrating other than being able to establish the Bangsamoro Education Code,” BTA Speaker Pangalian Balindong said. The BARMM Education Code opens windows of opportunity through partnership programs on professional development and capability building for teachers, said BTA Member Mussolini Sinsuat Lidasan. Iqbal said the Education Code provides for management and support to the development of a complete and integrated quality education system for BARMM. The region’s Ministry of Basic Higher and Technical Education also regulates Arabic schools known as madaris with the establishment of a Bureau of Madaris, which designs and implements distinct policies to professionalize and set the benchmark of qualifications for asatidz (teachers) as well as requirements for private madrasah schools management. The measure, signed into law Wednesday by Ebrahim, was passed via BTA nominal voting in which 61 members of the Parliament voted in favor.

Mapua CEGE dean lands in prestigious 100 most outstanding Asian scientist list A MAPÚA University dean has been recognized as among the most outstanding scientists in Asia. Dr. Francis Aldrine Uy, Mapúa dean of the School of Civil, Environmental, and Geological Engineering (CEGE), was one of eight Filipinos included in the Asian Scientist 100 released by the Singapore-based Asian Scientist Magazine. “I feel blessed and honored to represent the country in the prestigious list,” Uy said. Institutionalized in 2016, the annual list recognizes innovators and researchers that made an impact in their respective jurisdictions within the Asian region. Those included in the list must have received a national or international prize for their research in the preceding year. The effort must have made a significant scientific discovery or provided leadership in academia or industry. In 2020, Uy received the David Consunji Award for Engineering Research from the Philippine Association for the

Advancement of Science and Technology. This award was established to recognize outstanding researchers in the field of engineering. Some of his research works include: Automated Real-Time Monitoring System for Magat Dam; Automated RealTime Monitoring System for Ambuklao, Binga and San Roque Dams (Project ARMS); and Data Validation of LIDAR Dem and its Utilization in Watershed Modeling and Flood Hazard Assessment: The Cabarzon River Basin. Uy graduated from Mapúa University with a civil engineering degree in 2000. He served the university in various posts for almost 20 years. “At Mapúa, I became more interested in engineering because of the many successful Mapúans in the industry,” he said. As the dean of CEGE, Uy acquired more research projects funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

Paris cafes reopen as France eases coronavirus restrictions

ARIS—Parisians returned to their beloved cafe terraces and museums Wednesday after a six-month Covid-forced hiatus, a glimmer of normal life resuming but India grappled with a record daily number of coronavirus deaths. As health workers administered the world’s 1.5 billionth Covid-19 vaccine dose, Europeans and Americans continued to climb out from under long months of restrictions. In recent days, Britons have hugged their loved ones and streamed into pubs, gyms, and other indoor venues. Italy has relaxed curfews; Dutch music fans have

89 still missing at sea after cyclone slams into India MAHUVA, India—Eighty-nine people remained missing in India and hundreds of thousands were without power on Wednesday in the wake of a major cyclone, adding to the country’s woes as it suffered a record number of Covid-19 deaths. Slamming the western coast late Tuesday, Cyclone Tauktae was the latest in what experts say is a growing number of ever-bigger storms in the Arabian Sea because of climate change warming its waters. The defense ministry said Wednesday that Navy ships had rescued more than 600 people after waves up to eight meters (26 feet) high hammered offshore oil installations. But planes and helicopters were still searching for 89 workers missing from one of several support vessels that slipped its moorings in the storm and sank. M.K. Jha, head of the Naval WestManila ern Command, said that the sea was Standard so rough TODAY that they could not board life rafts. Those rescued have “hope in their eyes but certainly they are distressed... they have been battered by the sea conditions for multiple hours,” Jha told the NDTV news channel. Even before making landfall in Gujarat state with gusts up to 185 kilometres (115 miles) per hour, associated heavy rains and strong winds killed around 20 people in western and southern India. Once it hit, the toll rose to at least 33 including a child crushed by a collapsing wall, an 80-year-old woman killed by a falling pole and a teenage girl by a crumbling roof. AFP

readied for the Eurovision Song Contest and Portugal has welcomed returning tourists. “It’s nice to get away and be back here,” said Barry Thompson, a 63-yearold retired policeman from Manchester who landed in the sun-kissed southern Portuguese town of Faro with his wife and son.

In New York -- an early virus epicenter -- rules requiring masks and social distancing are also set to ease, although some residents remain cautious about a disease that has upended life in almost every corner of the globe. Manhattan restaurant manager Juan Rosas plans to still require masks, even for vaccinated patrons. “I think it is too early,” he said. “I think they rushed the decision.” In Paris, the terraces and rooftop gardens that define the city for many visitors have been booked out as outdoor dining returns across France, with a few lingering restrictions. “Like a diesel engine, we’ll be warm-

ing up slowly,” bistro owner Stephanie Mathey told AFP. The City of Light’s museums, cinemas and theatres are also reopening ahead of a full-scale unlocking of the economy on June 30. “We are glad to be able to welcome you again,” staff of the Louvre, the world’s most visited museum, wrote on its website, where demand for tickets to a Renaissance sculpture show was brisk. The slow rebirth of Europe’s communal life is being fueled by now quickening vaccination programmes, after more than a year of battling a pandemic that is known to have claimed nearly 3.4 million deaths worldwide.AFP

IN BRIEF Finance, vaccines up for Africa ‘New Deal’ PARIS—A Paris summit Tuesday promised to help Africa overcome the Covid pandemic with a “New Deal” using global financial firepower to replenish depleted coffers and ramp up a sluggish vaccine rollout. The summit, which brought together African leaders and global financial institutions, launched “a New Deal for Africa and by Africa”, host French President Emmanuel Macron told a news conference. Africa’s populations have been less badly hit by the pandemic than other regions—with a total of nearly 130,000 dead compared with almost 3.4 million worldwide, according to the latest AFP tally from official sources. But the economic cost has been devastating, with the International Monetary Fund warning in late 2020 that Africa faces a shortfall of $290 billion up to 2023, undermining all efforts at development. Meanwhile a slow vaccine rollout has raised fears that variants could emerge on the continent that would hit Africans and then spread worldwide. The summit was dominated by fears that while richer nations were launching economic recovery packages, Africa lacked the means to follow suit, and risked increased inequality and consequently insecurity.

Libyan migrant boat sinks, over 50 missing TUNIS, Tunisia—More than 50 people went missing after a migrant boat headed from Libya to Europe sank off Tunisia, the defense ministry said Tuesday. Defence ministry spokesman Mohamed Zikri said 32 survivors of the shipwreck were picked up after clinging to an oil platform off the southern coast of Tunisia. All of those rescued are from Bangladesh, he added. Flavio Di Giacomo, a spokesman for the International Organization for Migration, told AFP, “We don’t know the nationality of the more than 50 who are missing”. The boat, crammed with around 90 passengers, left the Libyan port of Zuwara on Sunday. It was not immediately clear what caused the boat to sink, but vessels leaving the North African coast for Europe are often heavily overloaded makeshift crafts, departing at night even in rough weather to avoid detection by the coastguard. Tunisian rescuers were bringing the survivors to the port of Zarzis, some CAFÉ AMBIANCE.

Israeli-Palestinian conflict rages on as France proposes ceasefire GAZA CITY—Israel and armed Palestinian groups in Gaza exchanged fire overnight into the early hours of Wednesday, as France proposed a ceasefire to stem more than a week of bloodshed. Israel started bombing the besieged coastal strip run by Islamist group Hamas on May 10, in response to Palestinian armed groups there firing rockets towards the Jewish state after Israeli forces cracked down on Palestinians in Jerusalem. War planes continued to hit Gaza city in the hours before dawn, flying low and keeping many people awake, an AFP correspondent there said.

Randa Abu Sultan, 45, said her family were all gathered in one room to sit out the night. “We’re all terrified by the sound of explosions, missiles and fighter jets,” said the mother of seven. “My four-year-old son tells me he’s scared that if he falls asleep, he’ll wake up to find us dead.” Late Tuesday, an AFP photographer saw streaks of light in the sky as Israel’s air defense system intercepted rockets launched from Gaza. Israeli air strikes have killed at least 217 Palestinians, including 63 children, in

Gaza since May 10, the enclave’s health ministry said. Palestinian groups have meanwhile killed 12 people in Israel with their rockets, Israeli police said. A UN Security Council meeting broke up without issuing a statement late Tuesday, but France then said it had proposed a resolution calling for a ceasefire, in coordination with Israel’s neighbors Egypt and Jordan. Zhang Jun, Beijing’s ambassador to the UN, told reporters his team had heard the French ceasefire proposal and China was “supportive”.

Another diplomat said the proposal would seek to cease hostilities, but also “allow humanitarian access”. The United States, a key Israel ally, has repeatedly blocked adoption of a joint UN Security Council statement calling for a halt to the hostilities. But EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell backed mounting calls for a ceasefire and urged Israel’s military to act in a “proportionate” manner. Hamas has launched nearly 3,700 rockets at Israel since May 10, often forcing people living by Gaza into bomb shelters around the clock. AFP

REYKJAVIK—The US and Russian foreign ministers are meeting in Iceland on Wednesday to gauge the enormous gulf between the rival powers and confirm a summit between Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin. Statements preceding the face-to-face talks on the sidelines of the Arctic Council meeting in Iceland do not bode well for the de-escalation of tensions that the two say they want, with relations at their lowest point since the end of the Cold War. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken seemed to want to make the Arctic -- a new geopolitical issue at the heart of the regional meeting Wednesday and Thursday in Reykjavik -- a laboratory for cooperation focused on common challenges such as the fight against global warming. But his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov issued a strongly worded warning. “It has been absolutely clear for everyone for a long time that this is our territory, this is our land,” Lavrov

said at a press conference in Moscow on Monday. The Russian foreign minister at the same time accused Norway of “trying to justify the need for NATO to come into the Arctic.” He insisted Russian military activity in the region is “absolutely legal.” Mikaa Mered, a professor at French university Sciences Po and a specialist on the Arctic, said that Russians “always do this sort of posturing before the ministerial summit, but that doesn’t prevent the Council from continuing its work on its traditional consensus issues”. The Russian warning inevitably drew a response from Blinken, who on Tuesday stressed Washington wanted to “avoid a militarization” of the Arctic. “We have concerns about some of the increased military activities in the Arctic. That increases the dangers or prospects of accidents,” Blinken said, adding that it undermined “the shared goal of a peaceful and sustainable future for the region”. AFP

US lawmakers pass bill to fight anti-Asian crimes

WASHINGTON—US lawmakers on Tuesday sent an anti-hate bill to President Joe Biden’s desk that aims to prevent violence against Asian Americans, following an alarming rise in attacks including murders during the coronavirus pandemic. The House of Representatives passed the Covid-19 Hate Crimes Act with a strong bipartisan vote of 364 to 62, weeks after it cleared the Senate with nearly unanimous support. Biden backs the legislation, which will speed up reviews of Covid-related hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, expand public awareness about the problem, and provide state and local governments with guidance on how to combat hate crimes. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it was critical to send a unified message on the importance of

strengthening the nation’s defenses against anti-AAPI violence. CYAN MAGENTA “Together, these steps YELLOW will make aBLACK significant difference to address hate crimes in America -- not only during this pandemic, but for years to come,” Pelosi said on the House floor. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki tweeted that Biden “looks forward to signing this important legislation into law at the White House later this week.” More than 6,600 incidences of anti-AAPI discrimination and violence were reported between March 2020 and March 2021, Pelosi said. Seniors have been attacked and businesses vandalized, while videos have shown Asian Americans getting stabbed, beaten up and otherwise confronted in public spaces.AFP

Stock market ends flat; DITO and Jollibee rally S TOCKS closed flat Wednesday as investors weighed President Rodrigo Duterte’s warning Tuesday that he might impose a stricter lockdown if COVID-19 infections surged again.

The Philippine Stock Exchange Index added just 0.97 point to 6,245.71 on a value turnover of P4.8 billion. Gainers beat losers, 115 to 82, with 47 issues unchanged. President Dutete said the Philippines must prepare for the worst for a more contagious coronavirus variant that could bring more hardship to the people and economy. DITO CME Holdings Corp., the third major mobile phone company jumped 28.8 percent to P9.84, while Jollibee Foods Corp., the biggest fast-food chain, advanced 4.6 percent to P175. Metro Pacific Investments Corp.,

which is into toll roads, water and electricity distribution, hospitals and infrastructure, fell 4 percent to P3.60, while Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co., the second-largest lender in terms of assets, declined 2.1 percent to P45. The rest of Asian markets fell Wednesday as investors struggled to break out of a long-running cycle of volatility, with optimism over the economic recovery playing off against fears about inflation, while oil prices extended their losses on reports of a possible breakthrough in the Iran nuclear talks. Asian markets were well in the red, with worries about new COVID-19 infections in several countries adding to the selling pressure. Sydney fell close to two percent, while Tokyo, Singapore, Wellington and Jakarta were all off more than one percent. There were also losses in Shanghai, Mumbai, Taipei and Bangkok. also taking Bitcoin was ing after another beatbank said China’s central cies cannot cryptocurren-

After a broadly healthy start to the week, regional traders went into selling mode early Wednesday following a retreat on Wall Street where technology firms were again the whipping boys with Apple, Amazon and Facebook all losing more than one percent. Focus is back on the impact that an expected burst of economic activity this year will have on inflation, which many warn could force central banks—particularly the Federal Reserve—to wind back their ultra-easy monetary policies, including possibly hiking interest rates. That is despite repeated pledges by bank officials that they will not move for the foreseeable future. Traders will be closely reading through the minutes of the Fed’s April meeting when they are released later in the day, hoping for an idea about the board’s thoughts on its response to rising prices.

More people are buying motorhomes to escape in their own travel bubbles By Taimaz Szirniks PARIS, France—For French retiree Jean-Michel Sibois, traveling will no longer be the same in the age of COVID-19. He is now among legions who have bought motorhomes to escape in their own travel bubbles. “You don’t imagine traveling as before, on an airplane heading to a faraway destination,” said Sibois, who recently spent 50,000 euros ($61,000) on his leisure vehicle. “We really wanted to be a little less confined, a little bit more at peace,” he said, citing health and environmental concerns with traditional travel. Sales of motorhomes have soared across the world in the past year. A record number of leisure vehicles, which include motorhomes and towable caravans, were sold in Europe in 2020, rising 12 percent to around 235,000 units, according to the European Caravan Federation. Record sales were also recorded in the United States in March while in Australia the number of registered leisure vehicles has reached 750,000. Holiday-makers enjoy the flexibility that motorhomes offer, allowing them to set up camp at caravan parks or in the middle of nature, according to a survey conducted in France for US automaker Ford. Younger buyers say it allows them to take cheaper holidays while older customers feel safer in them during the pandemic.

Julie Vignaux, whose company Nomadism rents luxury campers, said leisure vehicles can be “like a health bubble.” ‘Total excitement’ Hundreds of workers pierce and cut into Fiat and Renault vans to add beds, kitchens, bathrooms and sky roofs to the vehicles at a factory of the Pilote company in the western French city of Angers. “It’s total excitement. We have a lot of demand, many clients want their vehicles before the summer,” said Pilote spokesman Antoine Gueret. The camper market has grown at a regular pace for many years “but the coronavirus has speeded up growth,” Gueret said. The vehicles range in size from vans to palaces on wheels that sell for 200,000 euros. Deliveries at dealerships have been delayed. Production has also been disrupted by the closure of some factories during confinements and a global shortage of semiconductors. “It’s a battle every day to get a vehicle out in time,” Gueret said. In the US, order books for the luxury campers made by Airstream are full until 2022. “As the pandemic played out, we anticipated that more people would see Airstream as a viable option for safe travel, but the demand far exceeded our expectations,” said the company’s chief executive Bob Wheeler.

Bitcoin dips below $39,000 after warning from China BEIJING, China—Bitcoin plunged below $39,000 for the first time in more than three months Wednesday after China said cryptocurrencies would not be allowed in transactions and warned investors against speculative trading in them, despite the country powering most of the world’s mining. The comments sent the unit diving more than 10 percent and dealt it another blow soon after being battered by comments from tycoon Elon Musk and his Tesla car company. Trading in cryptocurrencies has been banned in China since 2019 to prevent money laundering as leaders try to stop people from shifting cash overseas. The country had been home to around 90 percent of the global trade in the sector. And in a statement, three statebacked industry associations said “cryptocurrency prices have skyrocketed and plummeted, and cryptocurrency trading speculation activities have rebounded.” The price fluctuations “seriously violate people’s asset safety and disrupt normal economic and financial order,” said the statement, which was posted to social media by the People’s Bank of China. The notice warned consumers against wild speculation, adding that the “losses caused by investment transactions are borne by the consumers themselves,” since Chinese law offers no protection to them. It reiterated that providing cryptocurrency services to customers and crypto-based financial products was illegal for Chinese financial institutions and payment providers. Linghao Bao, analyst at Trivium China, said despite the ban Chinese investors can still find ways to buy cryptocurrencies through illegal vendors. “There will always be a way to circumvent regulations,” he said. “The point of this order is to tell financial institutions to up their game to detect these crypto-related transactions.” Bitcoin tumbled Wednesday from $45,600 to $38,570, its lowest since early February, and well off the record high of $64,870 seen last month. It later edged back above $40,000 but analysts have warned it could test as low as $30,000. AFP

Metrobank sells P19b from bond offering amid a strong demand By Julito G. Rada METROPOLITAN Bank & Trust Co., the second-largest lender in terms of assets, said Wednesday it raised P19 billion from the sale of peso-denominated bonds on robust demand from investors. Metrobank said in a statement to the stock exchange it cut short the public offer period from the original date of May 6 to 24, 2021 because of strong investor demand from both institutional and retail clients. “The offering was closed on May 18, 2021 and was 1.9-times oversubscribed,” it said, adding it was the latest and last tranche of its P100-billion bond and commercial paper program approved by the board in 2018. The bonds have a tenor of 5.25 years and a coupon of 3.60 percent with quarterly interest payments. The bonds will be listed in the Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corp. on June 4, 2021. Since November 2018, Metrobank has raised P100 billion from peso bond offerings. First Metro Investment Corp. and Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp. Ltd. are the joint lead managers and joint bookrunners of the offering. Metrobank is one of the largest and most stable banks in the country, with a strong balance sheet and asset base of P2.4 trillion and is well-capitalized with total equity of P306.6 billion as of end-March. The bank’s capital ratios were comfortably above regulatory requirements, with total capital adequacy ratio at 19.9 percent and common equity Tier 1 ratio at 19.0 percent. The bank has investment-grade ratings of “Baa2” from Moody’s Investor Service and “BBB-” from Fitch Ratings. Metrobank posted a net income of P7.8 billion in the first quarter, up 27.1 percent year on year, driven by stable asset quality, strong non-interest income performance and marginal rise in operating expenses.

NGCP prepares compliance with IPO requirement NATIONAL Grid Corp. of the Philippines on Wednesday assured it will comply with the ruling of the Energy Regulatory Commission to conduct a $1-billion initial public offering in six months. “In accordance with the ruling handed down by the ERC, we will comply, and we will be giving them updates, and we are mindful of the six-month deadline,” NGCP spokesman Cynthia PerezAlabanza said in a virtual briefing with reporters.

The ERC, in a decision promulgated on May 14 but dated March 10, denied the appeal of NGCP to seek more time to conduct the IPO given the COVID-19 pandemic, unfavorable market conditions and an ongoing arbitration case with the government. “The commission, taking into consideration the weight of the testimony of the expert witness in the field of initial public offering process, hereby requires NGCP to complete within the period of six months from the date of receipt of this order its IPO requirement and ultimately make a public offering of its shares in compliance with Section 8 of R.A. No. 9511. NGCP is likewise directed to submit a monthly progress report on its public listing activities on or before the 5th day of every month for the six-month extension of compliance,” it said. NGCP said it engaged several financial advisors for the IPO, shortlisted “joint global coordinators,” reviewed proposals of underwriters and was finalizing the engagement of legal counsels. NGCP informed ERC that as part of the initial process of the listing requirements, it engaged Standard Chartered Bank, Philippine Branch and BDO Capital and Investment Corp. to act as its international and domestic financial advisors.Alena Mae S.

IN BRIEF PH fiscal position remains strong—DOF

FINANCE Secretary Carlos Dominguez III said Wednesday the country maintained its strong fiscal position by ensuring that the government can always afford to pay foreign borrowings. Dominguez said in a statement government borrowings used for such productive investments as infrastructure projects that spur growth and create jobs instead of for debt servicing, are beneficial, rather than a burden, to economic development. He said foreign borrowings to help fund the country’s unplanned expenditures for its COVID-19 response were also well spent to provide emergency assistance to vulnerable families and other pandemic-hit sectors of the economy, boost the country’s healthcare capacity, keep the economy afloat and support its quick recovery. Dominguez said the Philippines reduced its borrowing costs during the Duterte administration, as shown by the ratio of debt interest payments to expenditures, which dropped to 9.5 percent in 2019 from 13.9 percent before President Duterte assumed office in 2016. The ratio of debt interest payments to revenue also significantly dropped to 11.5 percent in 2019 from 14.7 percent in 2015, he said. Julito G. Rada

AC Energy constructing largest PH wind project in Ilocos Norte By Alena Mae S. Flores AC ENERGY Corp. said Wednesday it is building what could be country’s biggest wind project with a combined capacity of 160 megawatts in Balaoi and Caunayan in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte and a cost of P11.4 billion. The project will help bring ACEN closer to its 2025 goal of achieving 5,000 MW of renewable energy target. The wind farm is ACEN’s latest project with long-time partner UPC Renewables. It is scheduled for completion by the fourth quarter next year,in time for fullyear operations in 2023, when supply in the Luzon energy market is expected to be tight. The project will be the third wind development of ACEN in Ilocos Norte, along with the NorthWind wind farm in Bangui and the North Luzon Renewables wind farm in Pagudpud. “We are very excited to begin the construction of the Balaoi & Caunayan

Wind Farm, which will be the largest and lowest-cost renewable energy producer in the country,” said ACEN chief development officer Jose Maria Zabaleta. “This project will further augment AC Energy’s generating capacity, following our recently completed solar farms and battery storage plants, and will contribute to the growth of our renewables share as we scale up our sustainable investments,” he said. Once completed, ACEN will double its wind energy capacity in the country. Upon completion of the infusion of AC Energy International into ACEN, its total renewable capacity will exceed 2,000 MW. “The site of the Balaoi & Caunayan Wind Farm has one of the best wind resources in the country and its construction marks the culmination of over ten years of development work. We are grateful for the continuing support of the Ilocos Norte provincial government

and the municipality of Pagudpud in helping to bring this project to fruition” said David Sutton, chief executive of UPC Renewables Philippines. The wind farm will utilize turbines from Siemens Gamesa who will supply, install and commission 32 SG 132 and 145 wind turbines, with a total capacity of 5 MW each, set to optimize the renewable energy production in the wind farm. AC Energy also aims to spur inclusive and sustainable economic growth to host communities in Ilocos Norte. It said wind development would bring significant value to the community by creating job opportunities to help reignite the community amid the pandemic. AC Energy said it is committed to playing a meaningful role in the country’s green-led recovery and work towards becoming the largest listed renewables platform in Southeast Asia.

FIRST Gen Corp. said Wednesday it budgeted $530 million for 2021 capital expenditures, with the bulk going to subsidiary Energy Development Corp.’s geothermal drilling and other activities. “In 2021, we are expecting to spend around $530 million in capital expenditures mainly driven by EDC, the LNG terminal and the Aya pumped storage project,” First Gen senior vice president and chief finance officer Emmanuel Singson said during the company’s virtual annual stockholder’s meeting. Singson said EDC, the company’s geothermal arm, plans to spend $280 million “to catch up on its drilling and investments, as the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the postponement of key activities last year.” “This figure also includes the capex for the development of EDC’s binary growth projects specifically the 3.6-megawatt Mindanao 3 and the 29MW Palayan Bayan project,” he said. Singson said First Gen would also spend about $120 million for the planned LNG interim offshore terminal terminal in Batangas in 2021. Alena Mae S. Flores

Globe Telecom plans to tap satellite service

GLOBE Telecom Inc. said Wednesday it is seriously looking at exploring satellite services to access rural areas where wired services have yet to be established. “We see the satellite service as a promising deployment model that can reach the rural areas where there’s not much household density and will be challenging to roll out wired services,” said Globe vice president and head of broadband business Darius Delgado. The telecom unit of the Ayala Group said, however, there were certain limitations as the overall cost structure of building sites anchored on satellite services have not yet matured. Prices need to go down to be financially viable and serve the masses, especially those who are currently unreachable by fixed structure. Globe At Home is actively pursuing other alternative technologies and is in talks with suppliers of other potential broadband technologies from low-earth orbit satellites to the more traditional high-orbit satellites.

METRO Clark Waste Management Corp., the country’s leading waste management company, said it will soon break ground on a pioneering $200-million waste-toenergy project. The first of its kind in the Philippines, the Secondary Fuel Power Plant is part of an integrated waste management system that will help address the shortage of waste disposal capacity in Central Luzon. “There are many aspects to proper waste management, such as how to properly treat hazardous waste, how to transport it economically and how to dispose of it while ensuring full compliance with the environmental guidelines laid out in RA 9003, or the Philippines Solid Waste Management Act,” said MCWM executive vice president and general manager Vicky Gaetos. The project is a 50/50 joint venture

between Metro Clark and PlambeckEmirates Global Renewable Energy LLC, a partnership between a German technology firm and the Royal Family of Abu Dhabi. The consortium has more than 50 years of combined experience in all aspects of waste management, spanning both developed and developing markets across the globe and will also provide the funding for the entire $200-million project cost. The WTE project will be built on Metro Clark’s existing 100-hectare site in the Clark Special Economic Zone in Central Luzon under the jurisdiction of the Bases Conversion Development Authority. The system will serve the entire Region 3, providing municipal solid waste transfer, treatment and disposal services to LGU’s and industrial clients in the entire area and produce up to 35-megawatts of power that can be fed back into the region’s distribution grid.

Most bets at Olympic village to be inoculated

Only vaccinated athletes can st join Vietnam 31 SEA Games Modern sports facilities to be built in Davao, Sorsogon, Ilocos By Peter Atencio IN THE next two years, there will be more modern and up-to-date sports facilities available for national athletes. Multi-awarded architect Gerard Lico said this during the 14th session of the National Sports Summit 2021, which explored sports infrastructure in the Philippines. World-class venues are currently being constructed in Sorsogon, Davao City and Ilocos Norte. “Ano ang mga forthcoming venues? We have the Sorsogon Coliseum and Stadium. They are inspired by the Colloseum of Rome. We expect them to be finished by 2022, 2023. In Laoag, under construction ang Ferdinand Marcos Stadium, and we have the UP Davao Sports Complex,” said Lico. These, according to Lico, will be an addition to new and modern sports facilities which have risen in the last decade, namely the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, the Philippine Arena and the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bocaue, Bulacan, and the New Clark City Complex in Capas, Tarlac. Lico, who led a team of architects and engineers commissioned to work on the renovation of the historic Rizal Coliseum last year, said the buildings that are being built adhere to international standards. In the future, they can be made available to the national athletes and for national and international meets. The facilities at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex will again be available by next year as soon as it stops becoming a quarantine facility for COVID-19 patients. At the moment, no athlete can also train at the Philsports Complex since the place is also being used as an isolation facility.

IETNAMESE organizers will enforce a “no vaccine, no participation” policy for all national athletes and coaches participating in the Hanoi 31st Southeast Asian Games from November 21 to December 2.

The Vietnam SEA Games Organizing Committee made the announcement during an online SEA Games Federation meeting on Tuesday, according to Philippine Olympic Committee president Rep. Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino. Tolentino said Vietnamese organizers assured in the meeting that the SEA Games will push through but stressed the vaccine policy. “Their policy [no vaccine, no participation policy] is for the good of everyone,” said Tolentino, who wrote the Inter-Agency Task Force for the

Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases to prioritize the inoculation of SEA Games-bound delegates, especially athletes and coaches. “Most of the athletes from our Southeast Asian counterparts are already vaccinated and we’re the only country that is left behind,” Tolentino said. “But we already wrote the IATF to prioritize the SEA Games-bound delegates. We’re ready to take any vaccine [brand].” The POC intends to send 626 athletes to the SEA Games. They will participate in all but one of the 40 sports on the

Hanoi program. Tolentino said that the national sports associations have been advised to identify the athletes, who will be prioritized for the vaccination program. “Before we fly to Vietnam, everyone should be vaccinated,” Tolentino said. “Or better yet, before the NSAs start training their athletes face-to-face.” Tolentino said the POC has a $40,000 (P1.9 million) grant from the Olympic Council of Asia that would be used to purchase the vaccines. POC first vice president Al Panlilio, tasked to purchase the vaccines, assured that the entire delegation would be inoculated as soon as the vaccines are available. Only Tokyo Olympics-bound athletes Eumir Felix Marcial and Hidilyn Diaz have already been vaccinated.

TOKYO—Most athletes and team members staying at Tokyo’s Olympic village will be vaccinated by the Games, IOC chief Thomas Bach said Wednesday, as organizers try to calm fears about staging the event as coronavirus cases surge in Japan. With less than 10 weeks until the pandemic-postponed Games open on July 23, parts of Japan are under a virus state of emergency and a majority of Japanese want the event delayed further or cancelled. International Olympic Committee chief Bach was forced to scrap a visit to Tokyo this week given virus restrictions, but he sounded a confident note speaking with organisers and Japanese officials. “The most important principle is very clear, the Olympic village is a safe place and the Olympic and Paralympic Games of Tokyo 2020 will be organised in a safe way,” he said, appearing by video call. “At this moment, already as many as 75 percent of the residents of the Olympic village are already vaccinated or have secured vaccination in time before the Olympic Games,” Bach added. And he said IOC officials “have good reasons to believe that this figure will be well above 80 percent” by the time the Games begin. Organizers have outlined extensive virus countermeasures to keep the Games safe, including barring overseas fans for the first time ever. But with Japan battling a fourth wave of infections, two doctors’ associations have warned in recent days that the healthcare system is already overstretched and the Games would add further stress. In an apparent bid to address that, Bach said the IOC was willing to bring extra medical personnel. “The IOC has offered to the organizing committee to have additional medical personnel as part of the NOC (National Olympic Committee) delegations,” Bach said, without detailing how many people could come. The additional personnel would “support the medical operations and the strict implementation of the Covid-19 countermeasures in the Olympic Village and the Olympic venues,” he added. AFP

Zamboanga relishes underdog tag against Seo WHEN Denice “Lycan Queen” Zamboanga enters the Circle opposite highly regarded “Arale Chan” Seo Hee Ham later this month, she will do so as the perceived underdog, despite being ranked #1 in the women’s atomweight division. The 24-year-old is one of eight women who will participate in the highly anticipated ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix. The first round of the tournament commences at ONE: EMPOWER, which broadcasts live on Friday, May 28 from the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore. Many fans and analysts believe Seo is the ‘dark horse’ to win the entire tournament. However, Zamboanga isn’t at all fazed by the challenge that lies before her. With the help of her older brother Drex Zamboanga, and her team at Marrok Force in Bangkok, Thailand, Zamboanga is looking to score a massive upset to advance to the next round. “My brother, my coaches, and my training partners are all confident in me. They are confident in the hard work we’ve put into this camp, and we’re ready. We’re going in there with the winning

mentality,” Zamboanga said. “It’s not going to be an easy fight for either side. But I’m determined to prove the doubters wrong and claim this victory. I trust in God, and in my hard work. I will win this fight for my friends, family, and

fans back in the Philippines.” Seo is a veteran of the cage, having competed in multiple organizations since 2007, including DEEP, Jewels, Road FC, Rizin FF, and the UFC. Sometimes referred to as “Hamderlei

Denice Zamboanga

Silva,” fans love Seo for her high octane, aggressive style. When bracketing for the atomweight tournament was announced just a couple of months ago, Seo was revealed as Zamboanga’s first opponent, and almost immediately, an intense training camp kicked off. Zamboanga believes she has covered all the bases, and is a hundred percent ready for anything in the Circle. “I know she has so many weapons. She has a lot of experience. She’s a very dangerous striker and can attack in so many ways. But whatever she throws, I’ll be ready for it,” Zamboanga said. “Me and my team have gone through so many situations. We’ve envisioned every possible way this fight can go. Whatever she decides to do in the Circle, we’ll have something prepared for her.” Other first round matches in the ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix include a battle between #2-ranked contender Meng Bo and Brazilian newcomer Julie “Juju” Mezabarba, a rematch between #4-ranked Stamp Fairtex and #3-ranked Alyona Rassohyna, and Itsuki “Android 18” Hirata versus Alyse “Lil’ Savage” Anderson.

THE country’s hosting of the 21st Asian Senior Women’s Volleyball Championship in August has gone full swing with the provincial government of Pampanga and the Bases Conversion and Development Authority sealing their collaboration with the Philippine National Volleyball Federation. Pampanga Governor Dennis Pineda and BCDA Vice President Arrey Perez laid the groundwork in a meeting early this week with PNVF President Ramon “Tats” Suzara for the August 29 to September 5 championship. “Governor Pineda is excited and supportive to host the championship for the first time,” Suzara said. “He would like to have grassroots program for the youth volleyball in Pampanga and asked the PNVF to help him with getting coaches.” Suzara said that the San Fernando

Convention Center will be the main competition venue, while the Subic Gym and Angeles University Foundation Sports and Cultural Center in Pampanga serving as secondary halls. “Renovation of SFCC is ongoing to meet the international volleyball standards,” Suzara said. Jiangmen (China) withdrew from hosting the championship’s 21st edition, urging the International Volleyball Federation or FIVB to offer the task to the PNVF. “We [PNVF] saw the opportunity and we grabbed it,” said Suzara, who will also be meeting anew with Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority Chairman and Administrator Atty. Wilma Eisma. The Philippines hosted the continent’s top-tier women’s championship way back in 1997 and in 2017. The week-long tournament

will also serve as a qualifier for next year’s FIVB Women’s World Championship to be hosted by The Netherlands and Poland. Japan won its fifth title two years ago in Seoul and in the 2017 edition in Biñan, Laguna. Thailand, the 2019 Southeast Asian Games gold medalists in 2019 and runnerup to Japan in the past two championships, is also expected to compete. The Philippines, which is making a return to continental play after missing the event two years ago, will start training in June for the tournament. “We expect our young players in the national team to be promising and to have good experience before the SEA Games in Vietnam,” said Suzara, who was recently named secretary of FIVB’s newly-formed Volleyball Empowerment Commission for the term 2020-2024.

Coo eyes Olympic BMX berth BMX racer Patrick Coo will try to book an Olympic ticket this year as he competes at the UCI BMX World Cup 2021 —a Tokyo Olympic Qualification tournament in Bogota, Colombia on May 29 and 30. “I am proud to be racing for the Philippines. It has been a dream,” said the 19-year-old Coo. Born and raised in Bellflower, California, Coo started racing at the age of 6. He will try to clinch a berth to the Olympics and follow in the footsteps of Daniel Caluag, who represented the Philippines in the 2012 London games. “Danny has always been a great man and inspiration to me. He is my biggest motivation. After watching him in the 2012 Olympics, it was something that I also wanted to do—put our country on the map,” said Coo. “He (Caluag) always told me to ride for fun and raise my heart out and that’s all that matters.” In 2019, Coo won the title in the Asian Juniors BMX Championship in Malaysia and became part of the Philippine Cycling team last year. “We have a lot of talented Filipino cyclists and one of them is our teenage BMX cyclist Patrick Coo. We are counting on him,” said PSC chairman William ‘Butch’ Ramirez. The PSC gave almost P1.2 million in financial assistance for Coo’s campaign in Colombia. The sports governing body also approved an additional funding of P321,298, which covers the airfare, accommodation, allowance, visa fee, insurance, COVID swab test, and entry fee of Coo’s entourage along with national coaches Ednalyn Hualda and Frederick Farr. “Patrick has a lot of potential, not only for this year but in the next Olympic cycle in Paris, France,” added Ramirez. Coo maybe the youngest in the Philippine team to aspire to become an Olympian, but he knows that this is what he really wanted ever since he started in the sport—to raise the flag and make the country proud. “Dreams don’t work unless you work for it. We’re chasing the dream right now and the dream is the goal. I’ll do my best and hopefully, I’ll make it to qualify in Tokyo Olympics,” said Coo.

Spieth, McIlroy seek milestones in PGA tilt K

IAWAH ISLAND—One of the world’s most formidable courses will test golf’s greatest players when the PGA Championship begins Thursday at wind-swept Kiawah Island, the longest layout in major tournament history.

Three-time major winner Jordan Spieth chases a career Grand Slam while four-time major champion Rory McIlroy tries to repeat his 2012 PGA victory at Kiawah Island to claim his first major triumph in seven years. There’s also every chance the elite field of 156, including 35 major winners, will be humbled by the 7,876-yard Ocean Course, where fickle winds swap direction to baffle the best of ballstrikers. “It’s going to be a challenging course. It’s going to test all of us,” American Billy Horschel said. “And I think it’s going to make a lot of us look like fools this week.” Deep grass, sandy waste areas and marshlands that might be dubbed swamp in less wealthy neighborhoods await errant shots near the oceanside. “Getting onto those greens in regulation is going to be very important this week,” Spieth said

“This week I think it’ll be more about hitting middle of greens and then taking advantage of par-5s.” Organizers can play forward tees to make certain holes play different ways on different days, forcing more shot selection and club choice decisions onto players already feeling tension from conditions. “For the sake of our sanity, I believe they’re going to use a couple forward tees,” third-ranked Jon Rahm of Spain said. “When you have a place like this that’s narrow targets and windy, you’ve got to pick a shot and be fully committed to it, otherwise it’s going to be impossible to get around this golf course.” Whoever walks off with the $1.98 million top prize from an $11 million total purse will have earned it. “For the guys who get their eye in this week, there’s opportunity for good scores,” 2013 Masters champion Adam

Clarito, the 2016 FISU Student Ambassador, has been designated by the Federation of School Sports Association of the Philippines as the Director of the FESSAP Badminton Club that will oversee the qualifying tournament for the 31st Summer Universiade in Chengdu, China. The Universiade was originally slated this year in August, but was reset for next year due to the ongoing crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic. The International University Sports Federation Executive Committee has announced the new schedule date of the Chengdu Universiade, which will be officially staged from June 26 to July 7, 2022.

Let the play-ins begin THE BOTTOM LINE LITO CINCO BY the time this comes out, the NBA play-ins for the 7th- to 10th-ranked teams have already begun, which means a complete picture of the playoffs can only come out once the playins are finished. Just to have a clearer picture, in the Eastern Conference, the top 4 teams are the 76ers, the Nets, the Bucks and the surprise team of the season, the Knicks. I got the first three in my earlier fearless forecast, but then that was a no-brainer and does not reflect my analytical skills, if there were any. The next 6 teams are the Hawks, last year’s losing finalists the Heat, the Celtics, the Wizards, Pacers and the Hornets, with the Celtics squaring off against the Wizards for 7th place and

the loser meeting in turn the winner of the Pacers-Hornets game for the remaining slot in the regular playoffs. In the Western Conference, as expected and predicted, the Jazz took first place, with the Suns, led by Chris Paul and Devin Booker, finishing second, followed by the Nuggets and the Clippers in the top 4. Then it was a wild wooly race among several teams but in the end, the order was the Mavericks, then the Trailblazers, the Lakers (whose 7th place finish was not due to player talents, but to injuries to franchise players LeBron James and Anthony Davis earlier), the Warriors, the Grizzlies (another surprise team) and the Spurs in 10th place. Sure match-ups here are the Bucks against the Heat, and the Knicks vs the Hawks. As it is, the Lakers will play the Warriors for the 7th slot, with the loser getting another chance to join the playoffs when they play the winner of the Grizzlies-Spurs faceoff, while the Nuggets will face the dangerous Trail-

blazers and the Clippers take on Luka Doncic’s Mavericks. So let me start with the Lakers-Warriors’ game. My son told me the odds will favor the Lakers as they are parading a complete team, while the Warriors will still miss Kelly Oubre Jr. and rookie James Wiseman, both to injuries. As I said before, the results in the NBA will feature a lot of ifs and buts in an earlier piece, with player injuries as the main factor. By the way, me and my son will bet a little money on the underdog and undermanned Warriors, but even if they lose, they still have that other chance to play the Grizzlies-Spurs play-in game. I will pick the Spurs of Greg Popovich, who might be in his final year with San Antonio, giving his players a bigger motivation to send him off nicely. If this happens, since I am a Warriors’ fan, I will certainly go for a Golden State victory over San Antonio. Sad news for the Warriors though as they will end up playing the mighty Jazz and am sure Donovan Mitchell will already be well by then.

Scott of Australia said. “But for the guys who struggle, there are probably going to be big scores on the board.” Spieth, who snapped a four-year win drought last month in Texas, could become only the sixth player to complete the career Grand Slam and the first to do so by winning a PGA. McIlroy, who ended his 18-month win drought two weeks ago at Quail Hollow, hopes to build on that victory on a course where he has already tasted major success. “I’m happy with where my game is,” McIlroy said. “I can see myself shooting good scores on this golf course. “If I play my game somewhat close to the best of my ability, I’m sure I’ll have a good chance.” Patrick Reed, the 2018 Masters champion, will be looking for safe landing spots and picking his moments to attack very carefully. “Especially on the holes that are downwind, it’s where can I miss it in order to have an easy chance to make par,” Reed said. “You have to be playing from the fairway but your short game has to be tight.” AFP cities. This celebration of international university sports and culture draws many thousands of student-athletes together to compete, making it one of the world’s largest and most prestigious multi-sport festivities. Embracing the FISU motto of “Today’s Stars, Tomorrow’s Leaders,” the summer edition of the FISU World University Games incorporates educational and cultural aspects, encouraging student-athletes from around the world to combine high sports performance with their intellectual pursuits. The two-week FISU World University Games program includes 15 compulsory sports, the number of which has been increased several times in recent years. In 2011, archery became part of the program in the Shenzhen Universiade.

Suns, assuming they take 7th place. Here, my money will go the Lakers even as I like the way Paul has made the Suns a contender, playing with a young team that idolizes him. As for Denver and Portland, I want to see Dame Lillard and CJ McColum advance beyond the quarterfinals, but against the Jokicled Denver, the edge will be with the Nuggets. As for the Clippers against Mavericks, I will go with the former of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George against Doncic. In the Western Eastern Conference play-ins, I pick the Wizards over the Celtics and the Hornets over the Pacers. The Bucks-Heat game will favor Milwaukee, but then I like the bluecollar playing style of Jimmy Butler and the way he works with his team. I will not be surprised at all if the Heat upend the Bucks. Another evenly matched game will be the Knicks, led by Julius Randle and back-stopped by Derrick Rose and young player RJ Barrett, while Trae Young will definitely give it his best in the playoffs. But sorry, I will take the surprising Knicks as the team oozes with confidence now and the fans coming back in droves to support their home team.

SEEF DISTRICT -- Ylies “Broly” Djiroun, one of BRAVE Combat Federation’s prized recruits earlier this year, has been a professional mixed martial artist since 2011 with 24 bouts to his name. The 28-year-old Paris, France native has been all over the world, competing in various international and regional organizations. However, he could not even get equal billing with his peers in the sport until BRAVE CF came and signed him into an exclusive deal. Djiroun made a triumphant promotional debut in the headliner of BRAVE CF 48: ARABIAN NIGHT this past March, submitting Russia’s Abdul-Rakhman Makhazhiev in the third round courtesy of a guillotine choke. It is truly a maiden appearance to remember, but what Djiroun continues to marvel at two months later is the mere fact that the event’s official poster had him front and center. “I’ve fought for many organizations. I’ve been here and there, but not once I was featured on a poster. But they (BRAVE CF) did that for me. In my first fight, my photo was on the poster. That means a lot to me. It’s important,” he said. Djiroun did not mince words in lauding the promotion for taking a chance on him and giving him an exposure that he longed for throughout his career. “I really appreciated how they welcomed me in the promotion and the opportunity that they’ve given me. Now that MMA is legal in France and BRAVE CF is doing events in Europe, it means more visibility for fighters like me,” he stated. Though his recent performance put the MMA world on notice, the French submission specialist has no plans of taking his talent elsewhere. “I am happy to be with BRAVE CF. I want to be here for a long time,” Djiroun pointed out. “I don’t know what the future holds, but if you’re going to ask me, I just want to stay here. They treat me well, and the people behind it are kind. I don’t see myself leaving BRAVE CF.” Djiroun will be part of BRAVE CF’s expansion project in Europe as he is slated to duke it out with Englishman Sam “The Future” Patterson in the promotion’s inaugural venture on Belarusian soil on June 4th. sity of Perpetual Help-Laguna. The FESSAP Badminton Club was set to conduct the qualifying rounds in November instead of this month in Laguna, bringing more time for the colleges to participate in the qualifying tournament. Clarito will have to work out an operational plan in cooperation with different league organizations located in the Southern Tagalog Region, from the Cavite Athletic Association of the Philippines, State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association and Private Colleges and Universities of Region IV and Region 1. Moreover, the FESSAP expects to beef up its financial resources with the arrival of more funding for its projects and international sports participation, said Prof. Robert Milton Calo, Chairman of the FESSAP Membership and Monitoring Committee. The tournament is open to all collegiate athletes from ages 18 to 25 years old.

Of course offense and not defense will play the bigger role in the play-ins and the playoffs, but that is why I like the Heat, the Warriors, the Hornets, missing Gordon Hayward though, and the Nuggets, whom I feel still put a lot of weight on defense and plays honest defense at that. I like the playoffs because it gives me a chance to enjoy more watching the likes of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, Kawhi and Paul, Julius and Derrick, the duo of Russel Westbrook and Bradley Beal, Fil-Am Jordan Clarkson, a shoo-in for the 6th man award, the exciting Mitchell, the genius of Chris Paul, the shooting of Lillard and McCollum, Ja Morant, and Luca. Sorry, but I am not a fan of LeBron and Davis, however good they maybe, same with Jayson Tatum and big men Giannis, Jokic, and Joel Embiid. I also look forward to the combined offense of the league’s only super team in Brooklyn, featuring Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden. Sorry, too, no prediction yet beyond this, but I certainly like the chances of Brooklyn and Utah, throw in Philadelphia, but then the good thing is, any of the remaining 20 teams now are capable of beating any team for that matter.

He has not even proposed and honestly, it has never crossed my mind,” she responded laughing. Taking cue from her answer, another showbiz press asked if she would be willing to design her own wedding ring with Imono. “Bago wedding ring, siguro dapat, engagement ring muna kasi we’re not even engaged yet,” was her witty reply. Focusing on the brand, Lovi shared that she has great affection toward the sophisticated and playful flair that goes into the brand’s pieces, so much so that at times she wants to wear them all at once. “I even wear jewelry on a normal day depending on my mood,” Lovi, who has been with the Imono family as far back as 2015, said. Among the many ways she likes to wear her jewelry is by stacking bangles and necklaces. She also confessed her love for anklets and hoop earrings. But during the pandemic, she discovered a new way of styling them and it involves face masks. An executive from Imono said that their pieces are non-tarnish and can be worn underwater or under the sun without any maintenance. Since it is made of 316L stainless steel, the pieces can be sprayed with a conservative amount of disinfectant without having to worry about its colors fading or deteriorating.

Case in point, the Owe My Love star spent an afternoon (or evening in her case since she’s speaking from Los Angeles) recently with the members of the entertainment and lifestyle press. She talked about the Imono Jewelry SS21 collection, curated by her as the jewelry company’s brand ambassador. During the question-and-answer segment of the event, the showbiz press started quizzing the actress regarding her romantic life. She was asked if it’s really true that she secretly married her British

No wrong way to drink whisky WHENEVER you think whisky, you think of it in simple, traditional terms: neat, on the rocks, sometimes mixed with soda, sometimes as part of a fancier but well-known cocktail. It sometimes feels like anything else would be a disservice to a great drink such as whisky. You must follow the rules, they say, or else you’re not enjoying it the way it was meant to be enjoyed. But who’s to say how whisky is really supposed to be enjoyed? All it takes, really, is any drink you want to pair with a whisky that’s just great with everything. If you’re looking to experiment and find the right mix you’ll love, the multi award-winning Ballantine’s Finest is the whisky for you. It has a sweet and smooth taste with subtle tones of milk chocolate, honey, and vanilla. You can have it with just about anything you want, because Ballantine’s Finest believes there’s no wrong way to mix whisky. For those looking to explore the different possibilities, here are some suggestions you can try: 1. For those who want something sweet If you’re looking for a cocktail that’s sweet on your palate, how about mixing Ballantine’s Finest with cola? It’s simple—pour a shot of Ballantine’s Finest, mix in a little cola, stir, and serve with a lime wedge. For an even more unique flavor, try vanilla or cherry cola.

Another sweet idea would be to blend a Ballantine’s milkshake. Mix vanilla ice cream, milk, ice, and some Ballantine’s Finest in a blender, and work it until it’s smooth. Top the shake with some chocolate syrup. Read full story on manilastandard.net

ABS-CBN’s COVID-19 response recognized at Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards ABS-CBN’s various efforts to help Filipinos cope during the COVID-19 pandemic bagged another international recognition at the 2021 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, which will have a virtual awards ceremony on July 14. The company is a winner of a Silver Stevie for Most Valuable Corporate Response in the prestigious awards program, which honors innovation in business in the Asia-Pacific region. In 2020, while it fought for the renewal of its franchise, ABS-CBN took a multi-pronged approach to address the needs of Filipinos as COVID-19 threatened and disrupted the lives of people. To help those who lost their livelihoods due to the lockdowns, ABSCBN and ABS-CBN Foundation started the “Pantawid ng Pag-ibig” fundraising campaign in March 2020, wherein the network donated P50 million as seed money. ABS-CBN also held a groundbreaking digital concert featuring more than 100 celebrities to help raise funds for this initiative, which through the cooperation of local governments and the private sector, was able to provide food and basic necessities to over 900,000 families. Even before the community quarantine was announced, the company already began educating the public about COVID-19 through the “Ligtas Pilipinas sa COVID-19” information campaign. Through its news coverage, ABS-CBN kept people informed on the government’s efforts to fight the virus. It also showed the impact of the crisis

to Filipinos, especially to health care workers, through documentaries. As people stayed indoors, ABSCBN gave them a variety of programs to watch for entertainment and inspiration. It brought back well-loved shows and educational programs, while a daily mass and a fitness show were launched for the spiritual and physical well-being of families. Viewers also had access to free movies and new content offered on ABS-CBN’s digital platforms like the streaming service iWant (now called iWantTFC). This is the second Silver Stevie®

received by ABS-CBN for its COVID-19 response. It also won last year at the 17th International Business Awards, which is open to all organizations worldwide. The Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, meanwhile, recognizes innovative achievements in the 29-nation Asia Pacific region. The Stevie Awards are considered to be the “world’s premier business awards.” ABS-CBN’s COVID-19 response program was also honored recently with a Philippine Quill Award given by the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Philippines.

British supermodel Naomi Campbell shares a photograph of her hand cradling a tiny pair of infant feet.

Quinquagenarian Naomi Campbell

welcomes first child BRITISH supermodel Naomi Campbell has become the mother of a baby girl at the age of 50, she said Tuesday in a surprise announcement on Instagram. “A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother,” she wrote alongside a photograph of her hand cradling a tiny pair of infant feet. “So honored to have this gentle soul in my life,” she continued, adding that there were “no words to describe the lifelong bond that I now share with you my angel. There is no greater love.” Campbell did not give more details. She had spoken previously about becoming a mother, telling the Evening Standard magazine in 2017 that “I think about having children all the time.”

But she added that “with the way science is I think I can do it when I want.” YouTube, where Campbell has launched her own channel, also chimed in. “Such beautiful news, massive congratulations Naomi,” the video-sharing site’s official Instagram account posted. The jet-setting, barrier-breaking model still poses for magazine covers, in between charity and NGO work -particularly in Africa -- and reality TV appearances. In 2019, when asked about children by WSJ magazine, she replied: “Not yet -- I’ll see what the universe brings me.” AFP

A tale of two bands TWO groups that released their latest digital songs on the same date, Feb. 19, also had parallel paths leading to it. Both Unit 406 and The Sundown forged partnerships bound to change their fortunes forever. Unit 406 had a good reason to feel upbeat about “Kung Ang Puso,” which is their first under their new label MCA Music. For one, MCA is an acronym synonymous with what an established record label is. The fact that management service is part of the deal ensured them that more are at stake, and therefore, extra efforts to push their cause can be expected. How they will be managed should not be their main concern, though. Besides, they have strong material to bank on. A properly executed label support is always a good friend of a fine song. In the case of “Kung Ang Puso,” its strength as a sentimental rock definitely fits into the unceasing craving of Pinoy listeners for something called hugot – that overused term yet never outdated. “Signing with MCA was a natural choice for us because it complements our direction and vision as a group,” said the band’s drummer Tim Sison. Keyboardist TJ Hollon seconded, “MCA will open new doors for Unit 406 when it comes to our music, while, on the technical side, it will allow for more consistency and efficiency when it comes to our projects.” The group has been active for five years and enjoyed a decent amount of success, acknowledged by various

award-giving bodies, and with some of their singles used in movies and TV shows. That includes “Kahit Na Anong Sabihin Ng Iba” – the theme song of the series Hello Stranger. Other singles that won listeners’ acclaim are “Tanghaling Tapat,” “Mandirigma,” and “Gusto Ko Lamang Sa Buhay.” Gab Tagadtad, the band’s chief songwriter, stated, “When I write for Unit 406, I imagine us playing on stage and I start from there hangang mabuo ‘yung song.” Completing the band’s lineup are vocalist-guitarist Chen Pangan and bassist Ash Vanguardia. Interestingly, the Cebu-based act The Sundown got their biggest break yet by way of a partnership with a major rock figure in Raimund Marasigan. The guy needs no introduction, having been associated with as many bands as you can recall. “Don’t Forget Tonight,” released under Island Records Philippines, is described as “a hard-edged, hooky and guitar-driven song.” I couldn’t agree less. It excites me further to hear some melodic ‘80s feel. The band is composed of vocalist Aaron Domingo, guitarists Gino Rosales and Vincent James Eco, drummer Alden Panes, and bassist Luigi Balazo. “Raimund is someone we look up to and respect. It was quite a privilege to have him produce the song,” Gino noted. The pandemic forced the collaboration to be pulled off via the power of the Internet. But listening closely to the song, one may think the Eraserheads drummer was in the same room with the band. Raimund recalled, “The band felt something was missing in the song so together we tried to figure it out.”

Bands Unit 406 (‘Kung Ang Puso’) and The Sundown (‘Don’t Forget Tonight’) both released their latest singles last February 19, and partnered with MCA Music, and Raimund Marasigan, respectively.

E-wallet evolution GCash expands portfolio, introduces new in-app products and services

T IS one thing to be a known brand, it’s quite another when a brand name becomes a verb synonymous to the product or service it provides.

Some say, “I-GCash mo na lang” when they mean “to send or pay for something via the e-wallet app”. More are now saying, or doing it, this year as GCash chief executive officer Martha Sazon reported a 100 percent increase in users this year from January last year. “One out of three Filipinos is now using GCash, doubling our user base from 20 million in January 2020 to 40 million today,” said Sazon during the first GCash Futurecast event held virtually on May 12. With more users relying on the app for cashless payment transactions, the mobile wallet expands its portfolio, offering more products and services designed to help Filipinos gain financial freedom and get access to financial services in an easy, fuss-free way. “We envision a Philippines where people have equal access to financial opportunities and lifestyle choices, where everyone, whether rich or poor, has a chance to unlock and achieve their dreams,” said Sazon.

Financial services

More than allowing users to pay for purchases via GCash, the e-wallet offers a full suite of products and services that lets people save, invest, and protect themselves and their loved ones.

GSave – Insured by PDIC and powered by CIMB Bank, it lets users open an online savings account by simply verifying their GCash account. GSave has no maintaining balance, no fees, and does not require initial deposit. Users can enjoy up to 4 percent annual interest rate. Withdraw and deposit through the app. GCredit – It serves as a fully-verified user’s personal credit line based on their credit score within the app. GScore increases through timely payment of GCredit dues, use of GSave and GInvest, and use of GCredit to pay for QR and bills. Those with high GScores can get up to P30,000 credit line and up to 3 percent prorated interest rate (the earlier the due is paid, the lower the interest rate). GInvest – With the help of asset managers at ATRAM, this feature allows users to invest in their preferred product depending on their risk appetite. There are currently five funds available, three local and two international, with a minimum investment of P50 for the former and P1,000 for the latter. Users can monitor the movement of their funds, check value of their investment real-time, and track their transactions. GInsure – This feature, launched in

partnership with Singlife, offers insurance products for medical emergencies such as dengue, COVID-19, and accidents for as low as P300, with benefits up to P500,000 per person. GInsure users will also be able to avail themselves of Cash for Medical Costs, which covers medical costs, including terminal illnesses; and the recently launched Cash for Income Loss due to any cause, which provides a safety net in case the family’s breadwinner is unable to work due to an unforeseen reason.

Empowering entrepreneurs and employees

As part of its mission to support all types of entrepreneurs, GCash introduces GCash QR on Demand: a new and better way to securely send and receive money without having to worry about “wrong sends” or giving away personal information such as mobile numbers. Users can easily generate their Personal QR code and use this in place of giving their GCash number, for safe and hassle-free payments whether for personal use or for small businesses. The QR on Demand also makes it easier for small entrepreneurs like sari-sari store owners and tricycle drivers to enable cashless transactions.

GCash now lets users create and share their personal QR code.

to download multiple applications, is the heart of GLife. The in-app feature opens users up to over 35 brands across retail, food, gaming, entertainment, and transport. This means, from GCash, users can head to Lazada or McDonald’s or PureGold to avail of their products or services. “We have many more [brands] coming, we’re adding more services each week,” announced GLife head Prabh Singh. Current merchants available include GOMO, Gong Cha, Kraver’s, McDonald’s, Puregold and PureGO, Lazada, Recess, Boozy, Bo’s Coffee, Mama Lou’s, GawinPH, KFC, Datablitz, Cherry Shop, Gameone, Goama Games, and more.

“We want to make GCash available sa lahat ng kanto (in all corners). We’re digitizing sari-sari store and tricycle drivers every week,” shared GCash head of growth marketing Fe Olivia Mir. To aid and empower overseas Filipino workers, GCash now enables every OFW with a verified account to cash-in to their GCash wallet via international remittance partners, and remit those funds instantly in the app. The upcoming GPadala service will allow OFWs to send money to a non-GCash user for cash pick-up anywhere in the country.

For the good of the society

As part of its holistic sustainability agenda for 2021-2025, GCash aligns itself with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. To help make financial literacy and education accessible for all, the e-wallet app launched the Kaya Mo, GCash Mo Roadshow; Future-Ready Hackathons; and G NA! IDEAS Para Sa Pinas. This year, GCash continues to pursue collaborations to help in nation-building with efforts like GCash For Good and the GForest platform. “At the end of the day, we will all go back to our core purpose – to help one another in times of need and indeed unlock our desired impact on the society as a whole,” said Chito Maniago, GCash vice president of corporate communications and public affairs.

Scholars share stories of success GLENDA Galino Tayongtong’s first choice when she was deciding where to go for college was Central Philippine University in Iloilo City. But with the small earnings of her parents as farmers, there was no way they could send her to college, especially a private university. “Central Philippine University is one of the best schools in our area,” she shared. Her desire notwithstanding, attending the school seemed impossible. Thankfully, her sister, who was then working as a sales clerk at SM Delgado, saw a poster announcing the SM scholarship program of the SM Foundation, Inc. (SMFI). “If it wasn’t for my SM scholarship, my parents couldn’t really afford to send me to this school,” said Tayongtong, who immediately landed a job after graduation. “I was immediately accepted as marketing assistant of SCMC because I was an SM scholar. I got this title na ‘magaling yan kasi SM scholar,’” she shared. Today, she works as business development manager of Avon Cosmetics, Inc., handling Iloilo branches. She attributes where she is now to SM Foundation. “I think they accepted me because of my work experience at SM. I was able to build a career path which I really like. Believe it or not, every time I pray, I always include SM in my fervent prayers, dahil utang ko kay SM ang maganda kong buhay ngayon,” she related. In the high school where Evan John V. Balsomo graduated, only a few could make it to the next step. “It is seldom that graduates from our school could make it to college, thread the process, and successfully graduate,” he shared. That was why many of his fellow seniors were looking for scholarship opportunities before graduation. After hearing about the SM College Scholarship from his aunt working in Bacolod, Balsomo immediately applied and took the exam along with more than

a hundred students. “I remembered being greeted by a warm smile by the interviewer, Ms. Ling Lansang,” he recalled. “After a week, I received a call from her telling me that I was accepted, and I could not help but be teary-eyed. “I was delighted and grateful that I could help lessen the financial burden of

my parents and that I was a step closer to my dream to become an engineer. At that time, I could not be more excited to be part of the SMFI family!” he enthused. Balsomo studied BS Mechanical Engineering at the Technological University of the Philippines-Visayas. He is now employed as maintenance planner at Maple Leaf Consumer Foods, Inc. in Winnipeg, Canada. Aside from helping him graduate and get a degree that landed him his job, the scholar-alumnus said that his confidence was bolstered through the various enrichment activities provided by the SMFI to its scholars. “I gained more confidence after I joined the activities and enrichment programs such as the yearly gathering of scholars. I also volunteered in assisting during the scholarship admission test. These surely boosted my people skills, as well as my organizational and multi-tasking skills.” SM Foundation, through its scholarship program, provides deserving and qualified students, like Glenda Tayongtong and Evan Balsomo, access to college education and technical-vocational studies since 1993. To date, SMFI has produced more than 7,600 college and tech-voc scholar-graduates nationwide.
