Face shields lifted outdoors Treatment czar cites low transmission in open spaces; ease in travel set

By Willie Casas, Joel E. Zubano and Maricel V. Cruz

ACE shields can now be removed when outdoors since the risk of COVID-19 transmission in open spaces is low, treatment czar Health Undersecretary Leopoldo Vega said Wednesday amid the downward trend of cases in the National Capital Region that led to the easing of some quarantine restrictions.

The Department of Transportation said it is also studying a gradual increase in the public transport capacity, without compromising health safety standards. The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) likewise extended Next page

Duterte vows to make good on his word to back Romualdez for VP By Joyce Pangco Pañares

Duterte

Romualdez

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte said he will support House Majority Leader Martin Romualdez should the lawmaker decide to run for the vice president in next year’s national elections. Duterte recalled that during last year’s jockeying for the House Speaker post, he told Romualdez not to bother with the intramurals in Congress and instead wait for the 2022 polls. “This is the truth: I told (then Marinduque Rep.

and now House Speaker Velasco) Lord and (then House Speaker Taguig Rep.) Alan Cayetano to just split the term. The problem was there was a serious contender also for the speakership – Congressman Romualdez. So this was my deal with him: ‘Do not bother with that (speakership) and in the next election, which is just around the corner, if you run for vice president, I will support you.’ And I will hold on to that commitment,” the President said.

Rody, Murad to discuss BTA extension By Nash Maulana

OTABATO CITY—The Moro Islamic Liberation Front is asking Congress to settle the term extension issue of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority within the text of the Bangsamoro Organic Law.

ranking official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Ebrahim earlier said: “We reiterate, especially to the naysayers, that the extension of the transition period is never about power. It is about ensuring the successful implementation of the Bangsamoro Peace Process.” “This is not just the legacy of the MILF or of the Duterte Administration but the legacy of this generation and a gift to the next generations of the Bangsamoro. We cannot afford to fail them,” he added. Political observers have noted the proposed measure underwent several changes since last month when a techni-

cal working group was formed out of the Senate Local Governments committee. Among the changes was the proposal to drop sector- and district-seat allocations, including those provided for the MNLF and a legislative district in Basilan. SB 2214 also added four BTA seats for Sultan Kudarat which is not part of BARMM. Asked for comment, lawyer Naguib Sinarimbo, BARMM spokesman, said Ebrahim and the BARMM leadership immediately communicated to the Senate that the MILF should only be given its original number of representatives – 41 seats and not 47 – in the BTA Parliament.

measures within their jurisdictions in accordance with existing laws and guidelines. Meanwhile, two senators urged the government to ease restrictions on returning Filipinos, who are now required to stay in a quarantine facility for 10 days where they will undergo a swab test on the seventh day from their arrival in the Philippines. They are also required to observe four more days of home quarantine. Malou Quilitis, a Filipino working in Canada, said she and others like her wish to return to the Philippines but are having second thoughts about doing so because of the restrictions imposed by the government. “I haven’t seen my family for a long time but one thing that’s holding me back is the long quarantine period for we only have limited time for our vacation leave,” Quilitis said in an online interview. “Many of us here in Canada want to go back home but we are afraid because it will cost us a lot.” She said many Filipinos have already had their vaccination shots and were hoping the Philippine government would allow them to go home without the stringent restrictions. Senate President Vicente Sotto III and Senator Panfilo Lacson said small adjustments by the IATF would go a long way to helping returning Filipinos. Because of the current restrictions, the senators added, returning Filipinos have had to spend thousands of pesos and suffer much inconvenience, including the required quarantine period at a hotel and other isolation facilities accredited by the government. “Find the middle ground. We cannot be too stiff, too stringent. There are times we should be flexible,” said Lacson at the hearing of the Senate Committee of the Whole on the government’s COVID-19 vaccination program. Lacson cited the case of an office employee who returned from abroad earlier this year, but was told to spend six nights at a hotel where many other returning Filipinos were quarantined, at P10,000 per room per night. Yet, Lacson said the employee

could have been safer at home undergoing isolation. “You can just imagine what an ordinary employee returning to the Philippines has to go through. More than the inconvenience, he or she has to spend on hotel accommodations, swab tests, and related items,” he said. In contrast, Lacson cited the flexibility shown by the Cebu provincial government, which implemented its own rules for testing and quarantining returning Cebu residents, including allowing returning residents to go home as soon as negative results come out, thus saving them from inconvenience and a heavy financial burden. In the House, ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Niña Taduran said fully vaccinated Filipinos returning home should o longer be required to stay in a government-recommended quarantine facility when they arrive in the country. Taduran said the mandatory sevenday quarantine in a government-approved facility would only burden returning Filipinos who have a very low risk of contracting or spreading the virus after being vaccinated against COVID-19. “Most of the returning Filipinos have a limited time of staying here and are already cash-strapped. All they want is to be with their families for a longer time and spend whatever money they have for pasalubong (gifts) or other necessities,” said Taduran. “I am asking the IATF and the DOH to reconsider this requisite quarantine, especially if the returning Filipino has been fully vaccinated by a WHO-approved COVID-19 vaccine and has no symptoms of the virus upon their return in the country,” she added. Citing a study released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Taduran said fully vaccinated individuals, specifically with an mRNA vaccine, are less likely to have an asymptomatic infection and transmit the virus. Those who have been vaccinated with other types have been proven to lower their risk of severe illness due to COVID-9, she added. appeared to be now a little more open to the possibility of seeking the presidency in next year’s elections. Mayor Sara, who in January said she will run for President “in 2034,” said it is “too early” to say whether or not she will gun for the highest elective position. “We do not know what will happen tomorrow,” she said in a television interview. She topped the latest Pulse Asia survey for possible presidential contenders conducted between Feb. 22 and March 3, with 27 percent of 2,400 respondents said they would vote for the Davao city mayor above 13 other suggested candidates. case against some PhilHealth board of directors with the Ombudsman, refusal to cooperate with the PhilHealth management on the accreditation of “fraudulent” health-care institutions, and for “being vocal” about policies threatening PhilHealth’s financial stability.

in an interview over the ABS-CBN news channel. “The reality is the alleged killings arising from the drug war were not killings intended to target civilians as such. They were collateral damage so to speak arising from a valid police operation to deal with the growing threat of drugs,” Roque said. Roque also said that the majority of sources cited in Bensouda’s preliminary examination came from the media. “As a lawyer, we know that media sources are considered hearsay. We need to present people who have actual personal knowledge of events to prove particularly criminal liability, which is proof beyond reasonable doubt,” he said. The Palace spokesman noted that a crime against humanity requires a widespread and systematic attack against a civilian population with the knowledge that it is being directed against a civilian population. Bensouda has sought judicial authorization to investigate the country’s violent crackdown against illegal drugs that led to thousands of killings, but Malacanang earlier insisted it will not happen because the Philippines is no longer a member of the ICC. “Bensouda’s request for full investigation violates the principle of complementarity since the country has a working legal system that has convicted those law enforcers that were proven to be responsible for some killings,” the Palace official said. “The Department of Justice (DOJ) is in the process of investigating these cases right now,” he added. Roque assured the public that President Duterte will not condone the men in uniform who commit crimes. He likewise asked them to file com-

of legislation, on the Commission on Audit findings on numerous errors in the learning materials and modules that DepEd approved, published or distributed to basic and secondary education students. “The Mabalacat (Pampanga) learning module that contained vulgarity is very alarming. While DepEd officials boasted that they corrected the error, it pains us to learn that the culprit has not been punished,” Singson said. He was referring to the report of educator Antonio Calipjo-Go, who revealed that the vulgar Filipino word for sexual intercourse had been included in the definition for the word “aswang” in the self-learning module

(SLM) distributed to students by the DepEd division in the city. The obscene word was used in describing what an “aswang” is and what it does. Singson noted that DepEd Undersecretary Tonisito Umali admitted that while they had acted on the issue as early as February 2021, the person who purposely put the vulgar word in the SLM had yet to be identified and punished. “What he or she did was intentional, glaringly malicious and utterly despicable. Like the numerous errors found by COA in DepEd learning materials, it will be difficult for our students to unlearn what their teachers asked them to digest,” he said.

MILF chairman Murad Ebrahim expressed reservations to provision under Senate Bill 2214 that seeks to extend the BTA’s mandate for three more years but adds six more seats to the MILF representation in the body while shaving off some seats from the Moro National Liberation Front. Malacañang, as signatory to the

Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro with the MILF in 2014, will host a meeting today (Thursday) to iron out differences on the proposed term extension. “There was consensus among senators to bring the issue back to the language of the original BOL with only the date of election to change,” a BARMM

at least half of our total population has been vaccinated. Almost all businesses [will be] opened by then and almost all restrictions [will be] eased (by then),” Año said. It added that all local government units in Metro Manila are now classified as moderate risk, noting that Navotas had the lowest ADAR followed by Marikina, Caloocan, and Malabon. Meanwhile, Pateros had the lowest average new cases. “The NCR had a positivity rate of 8 percent, with a 35 percent hospital bed occupancy, 46 percent ICU bed occupancy, and 33 percent mechanical ventilator occupancy, all within safe levels,” OCTA said. Metro Manila and Bulacan are under general community quarantine “with some restrictions” from June 16 to June 30. The Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines (PHAPI), meanwhile, said the number of patients with COVID-19 and being treated in private hospitals in Metro Manila is now going down. However, some regions have reported an increase in cases, PHAPI said. “Private hospitals in the National Capital Region have been decongested. Almost 95 percent are asymptomatic or mild. Usually they are not admitted to hospital. Only moderate to severe [cases] are admitted,” said Dr. Rene Jose de Grano, PHAPI president, in an interview on ABS-CBN’s TeleRadyo. De Grano said most COVID-19 patients in Metro Manila are now in isolation facilities but cases are still high in other areas such as Region 4 and Visayas, and Davao, Cotabato and Cagayan and Santiago City. He said this could be due to lack of isolation facilities in those areas. The Philippines logged 5,414 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, bringing the total number of infections to 1,332,832, the Department of Health (DOH) reported. The DOH reported 158 new fatalities, bringing the death toll from COVID-19 to 23,121. The DOH also reported 7,637 patients who recently recovered, bringing the total recoveries to 1,253,541. Active cases were logged at 56,170, of which 91.4 percent were mild, 4 percent were asymptomatic, 1.3 percent were critical, 1.9 percent were severe, and 1.36 percent were moderate. The DOH also reported that, nationwide, 58 percent of the ICU beds, 47 percent of the isolation beds, 47 percent of the ward beds, and 37 percent of the ventilators, were in use. With PNA

allowing leisure travel for all ages from the “NCR Plus” bubble to Boracay and areas under the modified general community quarantine (MGCQ) until the end of June, the Department of Tourism said. The extended liberalized movement would allow local government units to revive the jobs of displaced tourism workers, the DOT said. “Face shields are needed when you’re indoors, in a mall, or having a face-toface interaction inside,” Vega said. Asked whether laborers who work outdoors are allowed to remove their face shields while on duty, Vega said the moisture that builds up on the shields may distract workers. “When you’re outside, we know that the risk of transmission is very low. Especially when you’re walking along the street or working, the moisture can really affect you so you can remove it.” Earlier, Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso urged the government to rethink the policy requiring face shields when outdoors. But Health Secretary Francisco Duque III maintained that Filipinos must continue wearing face shields since the COVID-19 vaccination coverage remains low. He also stressed that the use of shields is backed by science. Vega stressed that face shields must still be worn indoors as “added protection” against COVID-19. Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire, for her part, said it has been the department’s standing policy to require face shields in the following settings: enclosed public spaces; schools; workplaces; commercial establishments such as but not limited to food establishments, malls, and public markets; public transport and terminals; places of worship; and other public spaces wherein one meter physical distancing is not possible and there is gathering of more than 10 people at the same venue at the same time. She added the IATF allowed local government units to impose stricter

By Rey E. Requejo THE Court of Appeals has reversed the acquittal by the Quezon City Regional Trial Court of a police officer in the 2009 Maguindanao massacre case as it found the accused guilty as an accessory in the deaths of 57 persons, 32 of them journalists. In a decision penned by Associate Justice Apolinario Bruselas Jr., the High Court convicted as an accessory SPO2 Badawi Bakal, who was sentenced to a prison term ranging from four years and two months to 10 years in each of the 57 counts of murder. “The evidence adduced against him met the prerequisite quantum of proof of evidence of guilt as an accessory to the crime of murder, in 57 counts, beyond reasonable doubt,” the CA said in its ruling. The CA granted the appeal filed by the Office of the Solicitor General on the order issued by RTC Judge Jocelyn Solis Reyes. Twenty-eight persons, including the three sons of late former Maguindanao Gov. Andal Ampatuan Sr. — the Ampatuan patriarch — were convicted for the massacre. Those sentenced to a maximum of 40 years in jail or reclusion perpetua were the late Ampatuan patriarch’s sons – former Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao Governor Datu Zaldy Ampatuan, former Datu Unsay Mayor Datu Andal “Unsay” Ampatuan Jr., and former Shariff Aguak Mayor Datu Anwar Ampatuan Sr. The Ampatuan patriarch was also named principal accused in the case but he died due to liver cancer in July 2015 while confined at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute in Quezon City.

Hypertension ‘bigger pandemic’ than coronavirus, specialists warn By Rio Araja HEART specialists have raised alarm over the increasing number of children having hypertension, mostly those obese and overweight. At a virtual press conference organized by the Philippine Heart Association Council on Hypertension, Dr. Jorge Sison, former PHA president and consultant in Adult Cardiology at the Makati Medical Center, presented the objective and results of their Presyon 4-Nationwide 2021 Hypertension Survey, citing the Philippines is now facing two pandemics, of which hypertension is a “bigger pandemic than COVID-19.” “We saw a rise in the prevalence of hypertension. It’s unstoppable,” he said. The survey covered 2,796 subjects in 12 regions, including Metro Manila with 2,796 adults (18 years old and above) interviewed and 641 children (12 -18 years old) under the pediatric population. When asked if the survey result should be more frightening than before, Sison replied “yes.” He said the study is a more prospective, multi-staged, stratified and nationwide survey on hypertension in collaboration. “Our prevalence as of 2021 is at 35 percent,” he said. He said hypertension is “not only for the rich, but for everyone.” Three or four out of 10 Filipinos have high blood pressure, the PHA cited. Dr. Roberta Cawed-Mende, PHA Council on Hypertension chairperson, said COVID-19 has an impact on hypertension. “Those with comorbidities, such as hypertension, suffer from severe COVID-19,” she said, adding “I think one effect of COVID-19 is hypertension” due to low physical activity and diet consumption amid the lockdowns. She urged the people to have their blood pressure be checked regularly. Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho from the Department of Health said non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, respiratory diseases and diabetes, are still the leading killer.

BuCor liable for inmate’s death, says Karapatan By Rey Requejo A HUMAN rights group on Wednesday urged the Department of Justice to hold officials of the Bureau of Corrections liable for the death last June 13, 2021 of a 75-year-old and sickly inmate at the National Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City. In a statement, human rights group Karapatan stressed that by lacking the ability to care for the sick and elderly, and “further prolonging Jesus Alegre’s agony of keeping him in jail despite numerous efforts to call for his release, we can only hold the BuCor accountable for his death.” Karapatan through its Secretary General Cristina Palabay insisted that “negligence spells murder” in the case of Alegre. Palabay said Alegre was a farmer from Sagay, Negros Occidental who was able to secure from concerned government agencies rights over the land he tilled. However, Alegre was falsely convicted of murder over the death of a bodyguard of a local landlord who later claimed the farm land, Palabay lamented. “What kind of system allows the elderly to succumb to death, languish behind bars, and be made to pay for crimes that were clearly trumped-up and were only meant to silence them, for speaking out against an injustice they fought against?” she asked. “We hope we can say that Jesus Alegre died a natural death, that his illnesses were all brought out of old age. However, that is not the case for Jesus Alegre. This government can never deny the fact that Jesus Alegre grew very sick due to the long years of detention. Jesus Alegre was in jail under three presidents, and the Duterte regime had all the chance to correct this injustice, but chose to ignore it altogether,” she said. Palabay also urge authorities to allow the release of Alegre’s wife Moreta and their son Selman, “both of whom were also falsely convicted of murder.” “Let the death of Jesus Alegre be a resounding call for the humanitarian release of elderly and sick political prisoners, first and foremost, Moreta Alegre. Let Moreta grieve out of prison, and let justice be served to their family,” she said.

Hazard pay for barangay workers gains House push By Maricel V. Cruz

RESOLUTION was filed at the House of Representatives urging local governments to give hazard pay to barangay workers serving as frontliners amid the COVID-19 pandemic. House Resolution 1834 filed by Rep. Anthony Peter Crisologo of Quezon City said barangay officials play a “crucial role” barangay officials in responding to the health crisis.

“Barangay workers, such as health workers, tanods (watchmen) and other barangay employees are not covered by the rules of the Civil Service Commission and are not entered to the same benefits as regular government employees,” Crisologo said in the resolution. Crisologo, an assistant minority leader, also said “barangay workers are also community members who need protection.” “Their contributions in the current fight against COVID-19 shall be acknowledged by providing them with security while they continue to carry out official tasks that require them to face the perils of the pandemic,” he said. According to Crisologo, providing hazard pay to the barangay officials and workers is pursuant to the provisions of the Department of Budget and Manage-

ment (DBM) Circular 2020-1, or the guidelines on the grant of COVI-19 hazard pay. The circular, he said, provides that LGUs shall allocate funds to ensure that all barangay officials and workers who are identified as frontliners are given hazard pay for their safety and personal health. According to Crisologo, there are 42,046 barangays recorded in the September 2020 data of the Department of the Interior and Local Government. “As the basic political units of the country, all of these barangays and their workers, who serve for the general welfare of their community members, are vital in ensuring that all groups, sectors, and communities are protected from the pandemic and are reached by the government,” Crisologo said.

to set up road and other public safety signages to prevent accidents, which study showed, also cause heavy traffic in the metropolis. The senator filed Senate Bill No. 2293 or the Public Safety Signages Accountability Act for government to provide citizens with timely and correct information on traffic instructions, road hazards and

other warning signs. “Articles and images of faulty or questionable signages have been reported throughout the years and such still remain as evident threats to both motorists and pedestrians,” Poe said.

3 SoKor fugitives operating illegal gambling sites arrested—BI By Vito Barcelo IMMIGRATION agents arrested three South Korean fugitives wanted by authorities in their country for setting up and operating illegal gambling sites online. BI Commissioner Jaime Morente identified the trio as Cho Chang Joo, Beom Dawon, and Hong Changwoo, who were arrested in a condominium unit in Bgy. San Lorenzo, Makati by operatives from the Bureau’s Fugitive Search Unit (FSU). The three were arrested on the strength of an order that Morente issued, at the request of South Korean authorities which informed the BI that the said Koreans are already undocumented aliens due to the cancellation of their passport. FSU Chief Bobby Raquepo said that the three are subject of an arrest warrant issued by a district court in Busan, South Korea which charged them with violating their country’s law against illegal gambling. “The three will face deportation and will be sent back to their country of origin to face Korean courts. They will likewise be included in the Bureau’s blacklist, effectively barring them from reentering the country,” he added. It was also learned that the South Koreans are subject of a red notice issued by the Interpol in 2019. According to information gathered from the BI, the three were charged with violating South Korea’s national sports promotion act for allegedly creating gambling sites on the Internet. South Korean prosecutors alleged that their racket started in 2019 when they opened sports betting websites which enabled them to earn money from online gamblers. If convicted, the three suspects, who will be detained at the BI warden facility in Taguig City pending implementation of deportation, may be sentenced to a maximum jail term of seven years.

SM employees cultivating culture of volunteerism SM EMPLOYEES have it in them to always go the extra mile when extending help for communities. Good thing that SM shares the same purpose of spreading its social good programs in grassroots communities. Just recently, SM Foundation, together with The SM Store, SM Supermalls, and SM Markets, brought smiles to the faces of teachers and students of Bakod Bayan Integrated School (BBIS) in Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija during their Brigada Eskwela activity. SM employee-volunteers participated in the clean-up activity, preparing the school for face- to-face classes once the situation permits. They helped with the clearing of the school grounds and the repainting of the previously turned over SM school building for BBIS in 2016. One of the volunteers, The SM StoreCabanatuan Branch Manager Kristine Mariette Bernarte, said how elated she

was that SM shares the same value with her—serving the communities in need. “Very thankful ako na ang SM at SM Foundation ay very active in giving back to the community, sa pagbibigay ng tulong sa mga nangangailangan tulad ng mga ganitong pampublikong eskwelahan,” Bernarte shared. Bernarte, along with the other volunteers, also helped in facilitating the turnover of donations and gifts for the BBIS students and teachers.

DENR crafting $4m project on Benham Bank THE Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and Conservation International are now preparing the design of a $4-million project to be funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) to conserve and protect the Benham Bank and sustain its near pristine condition. The proposed five-year project, titled Philippine Rise Integrated Conservation for Enduring Legacies through Ecosystem Support Services (PRICELESS), will be financed under the 7th Replenishment Cycle of the Global Environment Facility (GEF-7). It will be executed by the DENR in partnership with Conservation International and Rare Philippines, both nongovernment organizations. GEF-7 will provide a $4 million grant, with an expected co-financing from the Philippine government, conservation partners, and other key stakeholders in the Philippine Rise Region. GEF-7 PRICELESS aims to address the need to ramp up and build capacity to protect and manage the waters, reefs, and natural resources in the Philippine Rise Marine Resource Reserve (PRMRR). The PRMRR is composed of the Benham Bank and its surrounding waters, being the first National Integrated Protected Areas System Marine Protected Area (NIPAS MPA) in the country’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

Paper to prove COVID jabs for OFWs sought By Willie Casas and Maricel V. Cruz

ENATOR Franklin Drilon is backing a proposal for a standard international proof of vaccination, which would benefit overseas Filipino workers.

“We must have a document which we can rely on to indicate vaccination, and particularly for our OFWs... I am in favor of some documents internationally accepted which would indicate proof of vaccination because this is for public health. Yes, it is controversial, but it is necessary,” he told ANC’s Headstart. Drilon said he found out from diplomatic circles that because the European Union did not issue emergency use authorization for vaccines made by China’s Sinovac and Russia’s Gamaleya Institute, individuals who are inoculated with these

brands are still required to go through testing and quarantine. “In so many words, without expressly saying, they do not recognize the efficacy of these brands,” he said. Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque said last month the Philippines will seek an international agreement that would recognize all vaccines included in the World Health Organization’s emergency use list as sufficient for international travel. In related developments: • The Department of Health (DOH) said on Wednesday it would already start

distributing the one million Sinovac vaccines, earlier placed on hold last week, after it received the certificate of analysis from its manufacturer. Vergeire said they will start distributing the vaccines Wednesday. Last week, the distribution of 1 million Sinovac vaccines was put on hold due to the absence of the certificate of analysis. • Two party-list lawmakers on Wednesday urged the DOH to allocate more vaccines on local governments with seafarers’ hubs and dormitories. Reps. Sandro Gonzalez and Macnell Lusotan of Marino party-list group made the call following the Inter-Agency Task Force’s (IATF) decision to reclassify outbound Overseas Filipino Workers, including seafarers, from A4 to A1 in the priority list of the government’s ResBakuna program under IATF Resolution 117 on May 27, 2021.

PAWIKAN HAVEN.

Two new pawikan nests were discovered at the Aboitiz Cleanergy Park, an eight hectare ecological preserve and biodiversity conservation site in in Punta Dumalag, Matina Aplaya, Davao City. AEV photo

By Willie Casas THE National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Wednesday announced the arrest of four persons for illegally selling the drug remdesivir in two separate entrapment operations by agents of the NBI-Special Task Force (NBI-STF) in Quezon City. NBI Officer-In-Charge Director Eric Distor identified the suspects as Maria Christina Manaig, Christopher Boydon, Philip Bales and Bernard Tommy Bunyi. They were presented for inquest proceedings before the City Prosecutor of Quezon City for violations of Republic Act 9711 or the Food Administration Act of 2009 and RA 5921, the Philippine Pharmacy Act. Distor said the simultaneous operations stemmed from information the NBI-STF received about the rampant online selling of remdesivir, an investigational drug used for treatment of COVID-19 patients in the country. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that the use of the antiviral drug requires a Compassionate Special Permit (CSP), which is only granted to licensed doctors and hospitals who will take full responsibility for the drug’s dispensing and use. The NBI also announced the arrest of two individuals by operatives of NBI-Special Action Unit for syndicated estafa and using fictious names.

Pawikan returning to nest in Davao’s Cleanergy Park

THE Aboitiz Cleanergy Park continues to prove itself as a sea turtle or “pawikan” haven with the discovery of two new nests last June 11. One was laid by a previously rescued and rehabilitated pawikan, while the other by a new pawikan. There are now a total of nine nests found in the park in the first half of 2021 alone. An eight-hectare ecological preserve and biodiversity conservation site, the

Aboitiz Cleanergy Park is located along the coast of Punta Dumalag, Matina Aplaya, Davao City. AboitizPower subsidiary Davao Light and Aboitiz Foundation Inc. manage the park. Since its launch in 2014, the park has become home to almost 100 endemic migratory bird species, marine species, and at least three critically endangered pawikan species like the Hawksbill turtle,

Green Sea turtle, and Olive Ridley turtle. The returning pawikan identified as “Turtle Cleanergy” is a female pawikan previously rescued from the park’s mangroves last February 2017. She was found exhausted and injured from forcing her way through the vegetation back to the sea after nesting. She was rescued, rehabilitated, and assessed for release by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Region XI.

THE Supreme Court has denied the appeal of pork barrel scam architect Janet Napoles to be released from detention on humanitarian grounds amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In a resolution penned by Associate Justice Mario Lopez, the SC’s Second Division junked the motion for recognizance and bail or house arrest. The resolution was promulgated last January 13, 2021 but only released by the tribunal recently. Senior Associate Justice Estela Perlas Bernabe, then-Associate Justice and now Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo, and Justices Amy Lazaro Javier and Ricardo Rosario concurred with the ruling. In her motion, Napoles told the high court she was at risk of contracting COVID-19 inside the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong City because she is allegedly suffering from diabetes. Napoles also cited what she claimed as compelling reasons to support her acquittal from plunder as well as the international community’s call for temporary release of persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) due to the threat of the coronavirus. In denying her plea, the high court resolved that Napoles’ plea for temporary liberty must be turned down considering that she was found guilty of plunder, a capital offense, in the pork barrel scam case involving Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. in 2018. “The presumption of innocence and the constitutional right to bail end after the accused’s conviction of a capital offense,” the SC resolution stated. “Accordingly, Napoles’ motion for bail pending the appeal of her conviction must be denied,” it said.

QC ending deal with Zuellig over eZConsult flaws By Rio N. Araja THE Quezon City government has disclosed a plan to terminate its deal with Zuellig Pharma Corp., following technical woes with its eZConsult app. Mayor Joy Belmonte said Wednesday she is seriously considering terminating the city’s contract with Zuellig after a series of total or partial technical difficulties experienced by its eZConsult service, preventing residents from signing up for COVID-19 vaccination. “The reason why I got the services of eZConsult is to be able to fast track the process of listing but what can we do if the root of the problem is emanating from them. The sacrifices and efforts of our medical frontliners and the time and sanity of our residents are being compromised by this inefficient system,” Belmonte said. “We have issued an ultimatum to Zuellig to upgrade their system and provide all the deliverables by this Friday, June 18 as agreed in a meeting held last week. If not, we have no other choice but to contract another company that can do the job quickly and efficiently,” she said. Meanwhile, the city government on Wednesday launched its “QC Bakuna Nights” program to expand the reach of the city and immunize workers whose only free time is in the evening. “Para ito sa mga manggagawa natin na hindi naman makaliban sa kanilang trabaho para makapagpabakuna sa karaniwang oras na 8 am-5 pm. Lalo na ‘yung mga arawan ang sahod,” Mayor Joy Belmonte said. “Ngayon, hindi na nila kailangang mamili kung arawang kita ba muna o bakuna. We will inoculate them at a time most convenient to them,” she added.

Space agency aims to aid disaster response By Kristine Erika Agustin and Antoinette Capuz THE Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) aims to expand its space data access for disaster response through its partnership with Japan and the United Nations, PhilSA Director General Joel Marciano, Jr. said. According to the Philippine Embassy in Tokyo, PhilSA recently signed a memorandum of cooperation (MoC) with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). The memo provides a framework for space applications, satellite development, space environment utilization, capacity building for space-related

technology development, space policy and legislation, space science and space exploration, and promotion of space industry. “The Japanese, of course, are able to put up satellites and they contribute data to the Philippines at times of emergencies and disasters,” Marciano said. “So what we’re trying to do with this cooperation is strengthen ‘yung ating capabilities also to act on the data, to further add value on the data and bring it to the hands of our decision-makers and emergency responders,” he added. With the signing of the MoC, PhilSA will have more opportunities to reshape and enhance their programs for the benefit of the country, Marciano stressed.

Macau, after HK, shutters trade office in Taiwan M

ACAU said Wednesday it was closing its representative office in Taiwan, following neighbouring Hong Kong which made the same move last month in protest at Taipei’s support for pro-democracy activists. Hong Kong and Macau are “semi-autonomous” Chinese cities, although foreign policy is all but decided by Beijing and the central government has taken an increasingly more direct say in how both former colonies are run in recent years. In a short statement, Macau announced its Economic and Cultural Delegation in Taiwan will temporarily suspend operations from June 19. In response, Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council expressed “deep regret over the Macau government’s unilateral decision,” saying it would continue to keep its trade office in the Chinese gambling enclave open. Macau gave no reason for the closure. But the wording was almost identical to last month’s statement by Hong Kong. That announcement was then

followed by Hong Kong’s government confirming the closure was indeed political. Taiwan, Hong Kong said, had “grossly interfered” in the city’s affairs on repeated occasions and “created irretrievable damage” to relations. Hong Kong and Macau abide by authoritarian China’s view that democratic, self-ruled Taiwan is part of its territory and must be seized one day, by force if necessary. That makes any official contact with Taipei tricky, even though Taiwan is a major trading partner. China had encouraged trade offices when relations were warmer. But since the 2016 election of Taiwan’s President Tsai Ingwen, Beijing cut official contacts and ramped up economic, military and diplomatic pressure. AFP

Taj Mahal reopens as India eases pandemic restrictions THE Taj Mahal reopened to visitors Wednesday, as Indian authorities loosened restrictions following an easing in the country’s devastating recent coronavirus surge. Infections and deaths soared to record levels in April and May, overwhelming health services in some places and prompting lockdowns and other curbs. Cases have declined in recent weeks, with several major cities including New Delhi and Mumbai easing many restrictions. In Agra, where the Taj Mahal is located, tourist guides and shopkeepers were upbeat as India’s top tourist attraction sprung back to

life Wednesday. The 17th-century monument of love built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan was shut in March last year, reopened in September and closed again in April. Crowds were thin on the first day of the reopening, with authorities restricting visitor numbers to 650 per day. COVID-19 precautions meant visitors were not allowed to touch the shining marble mausoleum, but those making the pilgrimage to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World were still delighted. “I am very glad I got to see it, it is amazing,” gushed Brazilian visitor Melissa Dalla Rosa, 40. AFP

Nokor’s Kim: Food situation ‘tense’ KIM Jong Un has admitted that North Korea’s food situation is “tense,” state media reported Wednesday, sounding the alarm in a country that suffered a devastating famine in the 1990s in which hundreds of thousands died. The impoverished country, which is under multiple sets of international sanctions over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes, has long struggled to feed itself, suffering chronic food shortages. And last year the coronavirus pandemic and a series of summer storms and floods added yet more pressure on the flagging economy. At a plenary meeting of the

central committee of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea, Kim said the economy improved this year, with industrial output growing 25 percent from a year earlier, the official KCNA news agency reported Wednesday. But there had been a “series of deviations” due to a number of challenges, the North Korean leader added. “The people’s food situation is now getting tense as the agricultural sector failed to fulfil its grain production plan due to the damage by typhoon last year,” Kim said. A series of typhoons last summer triggered floods that destroyed thousands of homes and inundated farmland. AFP

Market ends nearly flat; Jollibee and PLDT drop T HE stock market closed nearly flat Wednesday following a tepid lead from Wall Street, where another forecast-busting inflation reading spooked investors just as the Federal Reserve kicked off its latest policy meeting.

The Philippine Stock Exchange Index slipped 3.38 points, or 0.05 percent, to 6,973.35 on a value turnover of P10.7 billion. Gainers, however, edged losers, 111 to 96, with 53 issues unchanged. Jollibee Foods Corp., the biggest fast-food chain, dropped 3.8 percent to P206.80, while PLDT Inc., the largest telecommunications firm, declined 2.1 percent to P1,281. Universal Robina Corp., the biggest snack food maker, fell 2.2 percent to

P145.10, but BDO Unibank Inc. of the Sy Group, the largest lender in terms of assets, rose 4.6 percent to P117.90. Meanwhile, markets mostly fell in Asia on Wednesday. Traders have been keeping their powder dry ahead of the closely watched gathering of US central bank officials, who are discussing plans for their ultra-loose measures in the face of a blistering economic recovery from last year’s coronavirus-induced collapse. Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Wellington, Mumbai and Taipei all fell though Sydney, Seoul, Bangkok and Jakarta rose. Fed largesse and colossal government spending have been key to spurring the rebound and a more than one-year equities rally, with the rollout of vaccines and easing of containment measures providing extra fuel. But there is a fear that the support— including vast Fed bond-buying and record low interest rates—will prove to be a double-edged sword as prices soar and the economy overheats, leading to a

sharp hike in borrowing costs. Bank officials have consistently sought to assure markets that the expected surge in inflation will be temporary and monetary policy will be kept accommodative for as long as the economy needs it. However, traders remain skeptical, especially after the latest batch of US data, which showed the producer price index hit 6.6 percent in May, above forecasts and the highest since current records began in 2010, fueling concerns the rises could filter through to shops. Retail sales fell more than estimated, pointing to a bumpy recovery. Tuesday’s reading came days after the consumer price index came in at a 13year high. In the latest sign that the issue is causing a headache around the world, British data Wednesday showed inflation there came in far higher than expected and at the strongest level in two years. The news sent the pound up against the dollar and euro. With AFP

UK inflation rate spiked to 2.1% in May LONDON—British inflation has soared to the highest level since before the coronavirus pandemic, with clothing, fuel and oil prices rebounding as the economy reopens, official data showed Wednesday. The Consumer Prices Index hit 2.1 percent in May, breaching the Bank of England’s 2.0-percent target for the first time since July 2019. The rate compared with 1.5 percent in April, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) added in a statement. “This month’s rise was led by fuel prices which fell this time last year, but have jumped this year thanks to rising crude prices. Clothing prices also added upward pressure as the amount of discounting fell,” remarked ONS chief economist Grant Fitzner. Inflation has accelerated sharply since March, when the government began a phased lifting of coronavirus restrictions which has also buoyed the COVID-ravaged economy. The latest data stoked stubborn fears of a global inflationary spike as economies recover from pandemic turmoil. The news surprised markets because analysts’ consensus forecasts had been for an increase to 1.8 percent. “The easing of lockdown restrictions and the return to growth was just the medicine Britain’s battered economy needed,” said Ulas Akincilar, head of trading at Infinox. “But it’s clear the medicine is also causing severe inflationary side effects.” The BoE’s key task is to use monetary policy to keep annual inflation close to a government-set target level of 2.0 percent to preserve the value of the pound. The UK reopened non-essential retail, including restaurants and bars, in April, allowing the broader economy to recover further from pandemic fallout. However, this week it was forced to delay a full reopening due to surging infections caused by the Delta variant. The UK government on Monday announced a four-week delay to the full lifting of coronavirus restrictions in England due to a surge in infections caused by the variant, which first appeared in India. AFP

US Fed policy on hold for now but price concerns mounting WASHINGTON—The Federal Reserve is not expected to announce any changes when it concludes its two-day policy meeting on Wednesday, but could offer reassurances that it is keeping a watchful eye on rising prices. US central bankers have made clear they will not alter monetary policy until they see lasting signs that employment and inflation have recovered from the unprecedented economic damage from the COVID-19 pandemic. But that time may be approaching faster than previously expected, amid the accelerating reopening of the world’s largest economy, fueled by widespread vaccinations and huge amounts of government aid. The Fed cut the benchmark lending rate

to zero in March 2020, and has been buying $120 billion a month in bonds to provide liquidity to support the economy. But rising prices have ignited worries that policymakers will have to pull back on that stimulus sooner or faster than expected, which could then slam the brakes on the economic rebound—which would damage President Joe Biden’s policy agenda. Unemployment has dropped, but remains at 5.8 percent in May, while consumer and producer prices have surged to 5.0 and 6.6 percent, respectively. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has hammered home the message that the price spikes are largely temporary, and in his press conference he likely will repeat that stance even while stressing the central bank is vigilant

and will act if needed to contain inflation. But some economists and analysts have been sounding the alarm. “If the Fed’s monetary policy is truly data dependent, as the Fed says it is, it will acknowledge that the risks of a persistent rise in inflation have risen and that the prudent path of policy would be to move toward announcing that it will begin to taper” asset purchases, said Mickey Levy of Berenberg Capital Markets. Members of the Fed’s policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will offer updated economic projections, which are expected to reflect rising inflation and stronger growth, and will bring forward the date of the first expected increase in the key interest rate, possibly as soon as 2023.

Mystery stones spark diamond rush in South African region By Claire Doyen KWAHLATHI, South Africa—Single mother Lihle Magudulela spat out a mouthful of dirt as she sucked on a stone dug up from a hillside in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province, convinced she might have found a diamond. Thousands have flocked to the outskirts of KwaHlathi village, more than 300 kilometers (186 miles) southeast of Johannesburg, after a cattle herder last week unearthed a handful of unidentified crystal-like stones. News of the finding spread fast, triggering a rush to the site despite messages of caution by the government warning the stones could be worthless. At dawn, men and women upturned clumps of soil with shovels and picks and frantically rummaged through the earth with their bare hands. Many found more of the mysterious stones and set them aside in small dirtencrusted piles. “They are real,” beamed Magudulela, in her 40s and struggling to feed her three children. “I’m going to buy a car, a house, send my kids to private school,” she told AFP. The prospect of finding a diamond sent glimmering ripples of hope to one of the poorest regions of South Africa as the coronavirus pandemic worsened decades of extremely high unemployment levels.

The country, internationally renowned for its mineral wealth, still holds a record for the world’s largest ever rough diamond discovery—the Cullinan—found in 1905 in the small mining town by the same name. South Africa is also the birth place of the Kimberley Process, an international certification scheme to keep conflict diamonds off the market. “We are poor, we are unemployed. But this could change everything,” said Precious, 38, who did not wish to give her full name. She had spent the night digging, with her

teenage son and baby daughter. The boy clutched a transparent crystal the size of a ping pong ball. “They are not tired, we are looking for money,” Precious exclaimed. Dreaming of ‘Dubai’ Rumor has it that the Cullinan, which weighed over 3,000 carats uncut, was lying only a few meters below ground and dug up with a pocketknife. The rough stone yielded nine major diamonds used to adorn the British crown jewels, as well as almost 100 minor brilliants. AFP

IMF cuts 2021 growth forecast for PH to 5.4% By Julito G. Rada THE International Monetary Fund said Wednesday it reduced the 2021 growth forecast for the Philippines to 5.4 percent from 6.9 percent, taking into account the surge in new COVID-19 cases in April that could slow economic recovery. An IMF team led by Thomas Helbling conducted virtual discussions with officials of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, the economic cluster of the government and other public and private sector representatives about the Philippine economy for the 2021 Article IV Consultation from May 21 to June 11, 2021. The new projection was announced by Helbling in an online briefing Wednesday morning. Helbling, however, said the IMF raised its 2022 growth forecast for the country to 7 percent from 6.5 percent it made in April 2021. “We see a bit of slowing in the recovery in the first half of 2021 before the pickup in the second half of the year,” Helbling said. “The slowdown in the recovery is due to the second wave of pandemic which peaked in April [that] triggered strict community quarantine measures... But we hope the second wave is on the way out...,” Helbling said. Helbling said that for 2022, the new 7-percent growth forecast was anchored on expectations of further reopening of the economy amid the faster rollout of COVID vaccination program, more business activities and more investments on the government side which could result in higher multiplier effect. “There is a bit of a mechanical element to it... some of strong rebound has just been delayed. If the economy starts from the lower base, it leads to higher growth..,” Helbling said. The IMF Mission official statement said the Philippine economy was gradually recovering after the pandemic-induced economic downturn in 2020 and the rebound was expected to strengthen in the second half of 2021 and in 2022.

NGCP launching auction mode on ancillary services NATIONAL Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) said Wednesday it will start a competitive bidding process on ancillary services requirement to help meet the objectives of the government and secure the best value for power consumers. Ancillary services are support services needed to maintain power quality, reliability and security of the grid. “We want to guarantee the best pricing for AS, especially since this is a passon cost to consumers. With an open and public bidding process, we ensure full transparency and comply with internal governance imperative of accountability, which all our stakeholders deserve,” NGCP president and chief executive Anthony Almeda said. NGCP, however, said buying AS on either firm or non-firm basis is not a solution to the recurring brownouts in the country. “What we have is a supply and not a distribution problem. For the grid to effectively address imbalances between supply and demand, we need to increase the power capacity of the country to meet rising demand as we start to recover and fully reopen the economy,” Almeda said. He said the firm contracting being insisted by the Department of Energy “will not result in additional supply, it will only lead to a change in payment terms where all power, used or unused, will have to be shouldered by the public.” Almeda said this take or pay arrangement would only lead to higher electricity cost for consumers. Very little progress has been made in developing new energy sources as existing power facilities age and outputs decline, he said. The annual power consumption in the Philippines is expected to grow by 14.09 percent from pre-pandemic levels in 2019 to 2021, once economic activity catches up and normalizes. NGCP is a Filipino-led, privately owned company in charge of operating, maintaining and developing the country’s power grid, led by majority shareholders and vice chairman of the board Henry Sy Jr. and co-vice chairman Robert Coyiuto Jr.

Megaworld expects to raise over P27b from IPO of REIT By Jenniffer B. Austria

ROPERTY developer Megaworld Corp. is seeking to raise up to P27.3 billion from the planned initial public offering of its office assets that could become the biggest real estate investment trust in the country. Megaworld said in a disclosure to the stock exchange it filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission an application to sell up to 1.239 billion secondary shares in MREIT Inc. at a maximum price of P22 apiece. The shares would represent up to 49 percent of the total issued and outstanding shares of MREIT, assuming the full exercise of the over-allotment option. Megaworld plans to inject 10 office, retail and hotel assets with an aggregate gross leasable area of 224,430.80 square meters. The assets are located in three prime townships in Taguig City, Iloilo City and Quezon City. The MREIT portfolio of assets in-

clude 1800 Eastwood Avenue, 1880 Eastwood Avenue, E-Commerce Plaza, One World Square, Two World Square, Three World Square, 8/10 Upper McKinley, 18/20 Upper McKinley, One Techno Place, Richmonde Tower and Richmonde Hotel Iloilo. These buildings are more than 95-percent occupied mostly by business process outsourcing companies and other multinational tenants. “Our REIT includes properties in three of our most sought-after premier township developments of Eastwood City, McKinley Hill and Iloilo Business Park, which are home to around 200,000 BPO and other office workers

today,” MREIT president and chief executive Kevin Andrew Tan said. “Our ‘tried-and-tested’ signature concept of the township has attracted over 200 BPO and multinational companies to locate with us through the years since we started our first-ever Eastwood cyberpark in 1999,” Tan said.

IN BRIEF Tel Aviv flights seen to lift PH-Israel ties THE Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry said Wednesday it expects to take the Philippines’ and Israel’s bilateral relations to the next level with the launch of Philippine Airlines’ direct flights between Manila and Tel Aviv by October 2021. PCCI president Benedicto Yujuico said the planned flights would open more opportunities to business and tourism sectors. “I hope that when the travel restriction is relaxed, we at the PCCI will be able to proceed with a plan to bring a high level business delegation to Israel, not only to cultivate this this exchanges, but also to enhance rapport with the Israeli business community,” he said Wednesday at the Philippine-Israel Agro-Technology Forum. “With a plan of launching direct flights this year, business and tourism activities will be expected to become stronger,” he said. The group also aims to elevate Philippine agro-technology through better business-tobusiness collaboration with Israeli companies. Othel V. Campos

6 railway projects to open by mid-2022

EJAP FORUM. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Benjamin Diokno (left) underscores the bank’s promotion of price and financial stability amid expectations of Philippine economic recovery in 2021 during a virtual forum organized by the Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines. Diokno says the BSP will remain vigilant over the current inflation dynamics to ensure that the monetary policy stance continues to support economic recovery. With Diokno are EJAP officers Gerard dela Peña and Kris Crismundo.

THE Department of Transportation said Wednesday said it expects six big ticket railway projects to be partially operational before the end of the Duterte administration’s term in 2022. Transportation Secretary Art Tugade told reporters in a virtual briefing more than 400 kilometers of new railways would be partially operational by next year, up from just 76.9 kilometers of operational railways today. Tugade said these new projects are the P65billion LRT Cavite South Extension Project, the P9.7-billion LRT Line 2 East Extension Project, the P75-billion MRT Line 7 Project, the P356.96-billion Metro Manila Subway Project, the P149.13-billion PNR Clark Phase 1 (Tutuban to Malolo) and the P50.03-billion Subic -Clark Raiway Project. “These projects will be partially operational by end of President Duterte’s term,” Tugade said. He said the overall target of the government was to build and lay the groundwork for about 1,200 kilometers of railways by 2022 and beyond, which would benefit about 4.5 million passengers per day.

GCash eyes public offering to raise more capital for expansion

BNMI names Banaag youngest director

By Darwin G. Amojelar GCASH, the mobile wallet of Globe Telecom Inc., may “soon” conduct an initial public offering to raise more capital for aggressive expansion, a top executive said Wednesday. “Just like any other company, there’s is a perfect timing for that one [IPO]. We will see .. maybe soon,” said Vince Yamat, managing director of 917Ventures, the corporate venture builder of Globe which handles portfolio companies such as GCash, AdSpark, HealthNow, KonsultaMD, PureGo and Rush. GCash aims to reach gross transaction value of P2 trillion this year, up from P1 trillion last year. Its user base grew to more than 40 million users from its base of 33 million last year. Yamat said in a virtual briefing 917Ventures was open to any partnership with other companies like Puregold Price Club Inc. for PureGo, an online grocery shopping platform and with AC Health for HealthNow. “As a venture builder, our primary purpose is to build our own companies,

but we are not discounting working with other companies as well,” he said. AdSpark and RUSH help accelerate the digital footprint of brands through digital advertising solutions, customer engagement, loyalty and rewards programs, giving added value to businesses and their customers. KonsultaMD and HealthNow offer reliable healthcare though online. Consultations made through KonsultaMD skyrocketed by 461 percent in 2020 compared to the previous year. The HealthNow app has been downloaded more than 240,000 times since its launch in August 2020. “We know how tough our battle against this pandemic is, and we are all at risk, especially those who need to be physically present in their jobs. So we continue to reinvent lifestyle and movement through different products and services in the areas of health, e-commerce, financial technology and advertising technology that deliver indelible value to consumers and businesses,” Yamat said. He said 917Ventures helped startups maximize Globe’s ‘unfair advantage’ by

leveraging the rich asset base of Globe. Globe has a customer base of over 80 million, one million distribution points, 150,000 enterprise partners and massive networks and affiliates which the startups can tap. Being a venture builder, 917Ventures is constantly on the lookout for new ideas to launch and accelerate to further improve the lives of Filipinos, said Yamat. 917Ventures is also part of Globe’s 5G Hackathon, providing mentorship to participants of the nationwide competition and welcoming students and professionals to innovate and pitch their solutions to help various aspects of the Philippine society. The competition will focus on the use of 5G technologies in various sectors of the economy such as education, healthcare, livelihood and disaster risk management. Winners of the 5G Hackathon may join 917Ventures as a venture builder to further jumpstart their idea. The successful venture builder under 917Ventures will receive P2.5 million in support.

BENGUETCORP Nickel Mines Inc. said it appointed its youngest director Clark Banaag effective June 11, 2021. Banaag joined BNMI in 2020 as the chief risk officer. He is also responsible for the company’s environmental compliance and has oversight in corporate social responsibility. Prior to his appointment as director, Banaag worked in BNMI’s parent company Benguet Corp., the oldest mining company in the Philippines and in Marcventures Mining and Development Corp. He served as the SK Chairperson of Sampaga, Batangas City, where he spearheaded public service events like civil service review, UPCAT review, free legal assistance, environment protection seminar and youth leadership programs among others. BC reported a net income of P518.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, nine times greater than the P56.7-million profit in the same period last year. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, BNMI, contributed 83 percent, or P432.7 million. The Sta. Cruz Nickel Project of BNMI saw revenue rise to P1.05 billion on substantial nickel export and better nickel prices. “It’s an honor to become part of the BNMI’s board. During my term as director, both business profitability and adequate environmental protection will be my top priorities,” said Banaag, who studied law and agricultural economics at the University of the Philippines.

Vivant to improve Bukidnon power supply By Alena Mae S. Flores

SMC VACCINATION. San Miguel Corp. launches La Salle Green Hills in Mandaluyong City as the pilot site for its P1-billion program to provide free COVID-19 vaccines to 70,000 employees and extended workforce nationwide.

VIVANT Energy Corp., the energy arm of listed Vivant Corp., said electricity consumers in Bukidnon can expect improved service and reliability with its investments in Bukidnon Power Corp. and North Bukidnon Power Corp. Vivant Energy and fully-owned subsidiary Amberdust Holding Corp. acquired BPC and NBPC through share sale and purchase agreements signed in February. The transactions were valued P434 million. BPC and NBPC are owned by Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri, who developed the power generation facilities between 2015 and 2018 to address the power supply shortage in Mindanao at that time. “We brought in experts in energy with decades of experience and knowl-

edge in the power value chain. We’re confident that with Vivant at the helm, BPC and NBPC will provide the reliability and quality of service that the region needs as we prepare ourselves for economic recovery,” Zubiri said in a statement. The Vivant investment helps expand the group’s investment portfolio in Mindanao. “Our investment in BPC and NBPC is our contribution to the government’s efforts to achieve energy security in Mindanao, an area that is vital to the country’s economic recovery with its largely untapped potential,” said Vivant chairman and chief executive Ramontito Garcia. NBPC supplies five megawatts of the peaking power requirement in the franchise area of Bukidnon Second Electric Cooperative Inc. through its bunkerdiesel power plant in Lantapan.

Eala, partner reach doubles’ quarterfinals of Madrid tilt FILIPINA tennis superstar and Globe ambassador Alex Eala plunged back into action, teaming up with fellow junior exempt player Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva of Andor ra to tur n away the second-seeded tandem of Robin Anderson of the United States and Isabella Shinikova of Bulgaria, 6-3, 7-6, and move on to the quarterfinals of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) World Tennis Tour W25 Madrid at the Ciudad de la Raqueta in Spain. Fresh off winning the juniors doubles’ crown at Roland Garros, the 16-year old kept the momentum going, this time pairing up with the 15-year old Jimenez Kasintseva, who is the top-ranked juniors player in the world, to dispose of the Anderson-Shinikova duo who are ranked no. 221 and 216, respectively, in the Women’s Tennis Association singles rankings. Tied at 3-3 in the first set, the Eala-Jimenez Kasintseva pair broke their opponent’s serve twice and held their own to snatch the first set, 6-3. The second set, though, was played on more even terms as the two teams fought to a stalemate, 6-6, to forge a tiebreak. There, the Filipina-Andorran got two minibreaks late to win the tiebreaker, 7-3, and complete the straight sets victory. Eala and Jimenez Kasintseva will next face off against the team of American Ashley Lahey and Australian Olivia Tjandramulia. Eala is also seeing action in the singles competition and is set to take on Spanish netter Andrea Lazaro Garcia in the first round.

J BELANGEL, the smallest man in the court, delivered the biggest blow in the form of an off-balanced three-point shot off the backboard at the buzzer as Gilas Pilipinas stunned Korea, 81-78, in the FIBA Asia Cup Qualiﬁers at the Angeles University Foundation Sports and Cultural Center in Angeles, Pampanga on Wednesday. blending well with his teammates with the Gilas Pilipinas national men’s basketball team. The 7’3” Sotto, who is aiming to become the first pureblooded Filipino to make it to the National Basketball Association, said he is having an easy time with teammates, many of whom he had played with in the past. And by quickly reconnecting with them, Gilas will be ready for action in the ongoing 2021 FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers. “Okay naman. It’s been really, really good.

TOKYO—Japan could allow up to 10,000 fans at sports events ahead of the Olympics, media reported Wednesday, as organizers weigh how many domestic fans can attend the Games. The measure, intended to come into force after a coronavirus state of emergency ends on June 20, will be discussed by the government’s virus taskforce on Wednesday, the Nikkei business daily and Kyodo news agency said. The plan would limit spectators to 50 percent of a venue’s capacity or 10,000 people, whichever is lower. It could set the boundaries for a decision by Olympic organizers on how many domestic fans, if any, can attend Games events. Overseas spectators have already been banned. The Olympic decision is expected only after the virus emergency in Tokyo ends on June 20 and the government clarifies what measures will replace it. Recent reports have said the government could introduce “quasi-emergency” measures including restrictions on the sale of alcohol or limited opening hours for bars and restaurants. Experts and officials have expressed concerns that huge crowds attending the Games could accelerate virus infections after the emergency ends. Japan has so far seen a comparatively small virus outbreak, with slightly more than 14,000 deaths despite avoiding harsh lockdowns. But its vaccination programme has moved slower than many other developed nations, with just over five percent of the population fully inoculated so far. Under the current state of emergency, spectators are capped

Heading into NBA homestretch LITO CINCO IT is now down to the homestretch in the NBA’s Conference Semifinals, but with only six teams involved in a bestof-three series. This after the surprise of the season team, the Phoenix Suns completed their domination of the Denver Nuggets by sweeping their best-of-seven series, 4-0, as the team

continues to shine. Barring a sudden solar eclipse, the team is expected to match up well with the winner of the Utah-Clippers series, whoever that may be, and I would expect Chris Paul, now 36 years but playing like the way he used to, to go all the way and perhaps win his first NBA title. To think that a lot of people had written off this guy after he suffered an injury a few years ago. Chris certainly has proven his critics wrong. But of course, the Suns have to win the Western Conference first before thinking of the finals. As of this writing, aside from the Jazz-Clippers series, NBA fans are

Sotto is once again in the company of Geo Chiu, SJ Belangel and Carl Tamayo, cagers whom he played with during his days in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines junior basketball competitions and FIBA’s age-group tournaments over the past five years. Sotto is expected to spend more time with the team in the coming days. This is because after their stint in the FIBA Asia Cup qualifiers is over, Gilas will be back to practice to be ready for the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Belgrade, Serbia from June 29 to July 4. After this, Sotto will head to Australia by August to hook up with the Adelaide 36ers of the National Basketball League. Sotto is the second youngest player that the 36ers have signed up and are grooming for next year’s NBA rookie draft. In the NBL, Sotto will be going up against matured and veteran players to speed up his development.

Alex Eala teams up with fellow junior exempt player Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva of Andorra this time.

Young Gilas team stuns Korea The 5’10” Belangel tried to evade a pesky Korean defender and threw an off-balanced shot while falling to his right, with the ball hitting the glass first before sinking in, giving the pulsating win to the Philippines, which ended an eight-year string of losses to the visitors. The Koreans earlier tied the game at 78-all with 2.9 seconds left. With the win, Gilas remained unbeaten in Group A with a 4-0 card as it nailed a seat in the FIBA Asia Cup in Indonesia this August.

eagerly awaiting the results of the Eastern Conference semifinal series between the not-so-mighty-now Brooklyn Nets against the surging Milwaukee Bucks, who seem to have awaken from a stupor, and the Philadelphia 76ers vs the Atlanta Hawks. Starting off with the Jazz-Clippers match up, I was surprised when Utah won the first two games, but not surprised when the Clippers clawed back to contention with back-to-back wins in Games 3 and 4. Kawhi Leonard, one of the best blue collar superstars, who plays both ends of the court, together with Paul George, who seems to have

regained his form the last two games, have taken control of the Clippers when it matters most. Couple this with the fact that Jazz player Mike Conley, a solid contributor to Utah’s cause, is not at 100%, then I see the Clippers riding the momentum to a victory in the series. For the Nets-Bucks series, it is a similar story when the seemingly unbeatable Nets won the first two games with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving able to take up the slack for the absence of James Harden. But the seemingly beatable Bucks went from Sucks to Bucks anew and turned the tables on the Nets in Games 3 and 4. Now, Kyrie is out after suffering an injury, but James may return for Game 5 and between him and Kevin, they can carry the Nets, so it is an if

The 6’9” Peng, who also helped China win the FIBA Asia Cup crown in 2015, helped China move away by 15-5 and dominate, 20-12, at the end of the period first period. China went on to grab a 32-20 edge at halftime. “Not only did he (Peng) contribute in offense, he encouraged the team and his teammates,” said Chinese coach Du Feng, who said the China quintet is made up mostly of young players. Peter Atencio game for me. If James plays the next 2 or 3 games with Kevin, I will go with the Nets, but if James and Kyrie are both missing, I think the Bucks can pull it off. The Atlanta Hawks and the 76ers would be another what if game. If Joel Embiid is able to play at his max, odds will favor Philadelphia. But right now, nothing is definite about his condition and without him, or him not playing his usual game, I believe the Hawks have enough firepower to win the series. Whoever wins and face one another in the conference finals, it will definitely be an interesting series. Now just remember, I have not been known to hit it on the nail when it comes to predicting game results, so please, do not blame me if I screw this up.

Torrey Pines set to test golf’s best in US Open LA JOLLA—There’s still a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean at Torrey Pines for this week’s US Open just like golfers see every January at the US PGA Farmers Insurance Open. Don’t expect much else to be the same. Top players in the field of 156 won’t be fooled by familar hole layouts when they test the 7,652-yard course starting Thursday, because the US Golf Association has maximized dense rough, firmed up fairways and made greens lightning fast. This Torrey Pines is a beast. With teeth. So says Jon Rahm, the world number three from Spain, is an oddsmakers favorite despite spending last week in quarantine due to COVID-19. “You can actually get lucky and get some decent lies or you can get some that it’s hard to move five yards,” Rahm said. “It’s a US Open. You’re going to get good breaks and bad. “Add that to the fact that you have quite a few 500-yard par-4s and you have a monster of a golf course.” Jordan Spieth, a three-time major winner, agrees about the difficulty of the par-71 challenge. “This is one of those golf courses,” Spieth said. “You have to just be ‘on’ and it will eat you up if you’re not.” Avoiding the rough is always crucial but especially greenside, Spieth said. “Around the greens, it’s wicked,” Spieth said. “Spotters are going to have to really be on their game because you can hit some shots five feet off the edge of the green and really have to look hard to find your ball.” As for the fairway rough, Spieth warned, “You’re not really advancing more than a 7-iron for a lot of those lies, just trying to tumble it down the fairway.” AFP Manila

Durant delivers a game for the ages to lift Nets L

OS ANGELES—Kevin Durant finished with 49 points while playing every minute of the game as the Brooklyn Nets rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 114-108 in game five of their NBA playoff series on Tuesday. Durant also had 17 rebounds and 10 assists as the Nets seized a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semi-final series. He took over in the second half for the Nets, who were behind by double digits for most of the game and by 17 with seven minutes to go in the third quarter. The Nets then went on a 17-5 run and Durant sealed it with a clutch three-pointer and four key free throws in the final two minutes. Durant played all 48 minutes, shot 16-of-23 from the floor and finished just shy of his playoff career high of 50 points. “I wasn’t planning on playing every minute but I told my coach that I felt good and let me ride it out,” Durant said. Nets coach Steve Nash said this will go down as one of Durant’s “signature” games. (MS-JUNE 16, 2021)

“He played the entire game and he barely missed,” said Nash. “It is ridiculous what he is able to do. To do it on a night like this when we are down bodies and we are wounded. “This is what makes him one of the all-time greats. This is a signature performance.” Brooklyn now has a chance of closing the series out on Thursday in Milwaukee where the Bucks are on a lengthy winning streak. Game seven, if necessary, would be Saturday in Brooklyn. Durant set a franchise record for points in a playoff game, breaking the mark of 43 set by Vince Carter 15 years ago. He also posted his second career postseason triple-double and joined Hall of Famers Oscar Robertson, Charles Barkley and Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic as the fourth player with at least 40 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in a playoff game.

“He is the best player in the world right now,” said Bucks all-star Giannis Antetokounmpo. “We got to beat him as a team. We got to keep doing our jobs and hopefully he is going to miss.” Down to Durant The Nets have jackhammered their way through the NBA postseason despite playing for much of the playoffs and the regular season without their “Big Three” of Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden on the floor at the same. The Nets were pretty much down to Durant Tuesday night as Irving got injured in the previous game and even though Harden dressed he was largely ineffective, scoring just five points on one-of-10 shooting. It was Harden’s first game back after missing almost all of the first four games of the series with a tight hamstring. Brooklyn has declined to announce the severity of Irving’s ankle injury but he has been seen on crutches and with a walking boot. Jeff Green scored 27 points, and Blake Griffin chipped in 17 for the Nets. Antetokounmpo had 34 points and 12 rebounds, while Khris Middleton added 25 points for the Bucks. AFP

Pacatiw hopes to Jose Rizal U, San Beda win emulate Lakay peers, online poomsae in NCAA signs with ONE JEREMY “The Juggernaut” Pacatiw regarded his signing as perfect timing as he is the latest Team Lakay upstart to join ONE Championship. “I know this is God’s plan. This is the perfect time for me to join ONE,” he said. The 25-year-old has been busy making a name for himself away from his Team Lakay stablemates for the past few years. His last fight came 18 months ago, with Pacatiw stopping Brazilian foe Felipe Efrain with an emphatic knockout victory to hike his record to a 10-4 win-loss slate back in December 2019. That long time of inactivity, however, surely makes anyone reflect where they stand in their life, one that Pacatiw surely did as he admitted that there was always a part of him which wondered how he would fare if he was with ONE Championship. “When I look at my seniors like kuya Eduard [Folayang], I always feel that I want to join ONE Championship. I really like what they are promoting, which isn’t all about trash talking but rather building a legacy. I always admired their vision,” he said. Pacatiw needs not to fantasize anymore as he joins the loaded bantamweight division and is aiming to make the same impact under the ONE umbrella, just like how Kevin “The Silencer” Belingon did when he won the ONE Bantamweight World Championship back in 2018. “I was inspired by their achievements. They really showed that us Filipinos are world champions. That lit a fire under me that I also want to rise to the top and be just like them,” he said. That’s not to say that he’s not feeling any jitters, with Pacatiw admittedly still in disbelief on this latest chapter in his career -- not to mention having to carry that reputation of being a Team Lakay fighter. “When coach Mark [Sangiao] told me that I will be signed, I was very excited and happy. But I was also nervous because I know that in ONE Championship, I’ll be fighting against highcaliber athletes. There’s also pressure because I’m a part of a well-known team like Team Lakay,” he said. “But I handle it through maintaining my focus on the path I want to go to so that I can achieve my goals. My seniors have also reminded me to double-time and focus on my training because this is already a big organization and I’ll be facing a lot of high-caliber opponents. So I really have to train hard.” Pacatiw will surely have his hands full given the pedigree of the bantamweight division ONE has.

JOSE Rizal University and San Beda University made strong showings as they triumphed in online taekwondo’s poomsae event at the start of the NCAA Season 96 last Monday. Alfritz Arevalo of the Red Lions and Emie Fernandez of the Lady Bombers won the gold medal in the men’s and women’s division of the standard poomsae as televised by GMA via its GTV channel. Arevalo, a native of Baguio City, bagged the first gold medal with 7.217 points, beating College of St. Benilde’s Ivan Murray Solimen, who earned silver medal with 7.134 points, while Letran’s Roi Vinson Belano took the bronze medal with 7.083 points. Arellano University’s Christian Dave Tayrus missed the podium as he finished fourth overall with 6.617 points. Other participants in the league’s first virtual event are San Sebastian’s John Estoy (6.417),

JRU’s Mikko Jeremi Bataoil (6.284), LPU’s Jake Aldrin Ramos (6.150), and EAC’s Ralph Laurenz Gasco (6.033).

Claudia Barreto stays inspired, launches debut single with Viva By Maria Katrina Segui

Claudia Barretto has now released her debut single with Viva Records, “Nothing to Do”, a collab with Mito Fabie a.k.a. Curtismith.

INSTEAD of losing heart, 21-year-old singer-songwriter Claudia Barretto took the current adversity as a window of opportunity to learn more about herself and be one with her music. With her upcoming single “Nothing To Do” featuring Curtismith, Claudia spoke about how she draws inspiration in creating music amid the pandemic. Staying motivated and keeping one’s creativity flowing during these trying times is something that every artist struggles with according to Claudia. The situation made her realize how lucky and privileged she is and acknowledged that liberty by making the most out of her time. “Because I felt that I was so privileged and lucky, I felt that the best thing I can do for myself is to make use of this time,

to make something of it and to not despair about the situation, ” she told Manila Standard Entertainment. “I continued to listen to music, talk to people, read, and write. I would continue doing that even when inspiration wouldn’t strike. I think that kind of discipline really helps you to get to a place where you just know exactly what you’re supposed to do,” she added. It is no surprise that the R&B singer’s enthusiasm remains unfazed by the situation as she has developed a penchant for music and writing ever since the young age of 10. She recalled fond memories of her as a child writing poems, journaling, and looking up to singer-songwriters like Taylor Swift. “Growing up, it was a natural inclination to turn to music to express myself. Singing became what I wanted to pursue, ” she shared.

Her upcoming single “Nothing To Do” was produced by her brother-in-law, Xavi Panlilio with rapper Mito Fabie, famously known as Curtismith. Claudia revealed that it only took her and Mito less than ten minutes to write the whole song and two times to record it. “It was very natural and organic, the way it [the song] came to life, ” Claudia said, describing the songwriting process all thrilled. “The song is quite literally about having nothing to do but having a really special experience with a significant other. You could be doing completely nothing with someone but if it’s with the right person, it’s an experience,” she added, explaining the message of the track. “Nothing To Do” is Claudia Barretto’s debut single under Viva Records and will be available on all music streaming platforms tomorrow, June 18.

Cong TV takes gaming to another level MOBILE gaming has already seeped into the modern Filipino culture as one of the favorite pastimes of Pinoys of different ages, even before the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a 2021 report from We Are Social, a global company providing social insights, 72.1 percent of Filipino internet users spend their time playing mobile games. Quite a number of players have also built careers around it, like content creator and game streamer Cong TV. Cong, aka Lincoln Velasquez, started as a vlogger on YouTube doing parodies and comedy skits and got into gaming during the height of the popularity of the online multiplayer battle royale game Player Unknown: Battleground (PUBG) in 2018. Since then, Cong has transitioned into becoming a gaming content creator, streaming his live gameplays of PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile (CODM), Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), and most recently, Valorant, on his social media channels. Now, Cong TV is hailed as one of the top content creators on Youtube, with over 8M subscribers. “I’m not a hardcore gamer. I make it a point to play (mobile games) whenever I have time, but it’s impossible that a day goes by without me playing,” says Cong, who thinks gaming is part of his daily self-care routine as a stress-reliever. But even though he doesn’t consider himself a pro, he makes sure to elevate his gaming with skins, and other character and weapon upgrades.

“For me, upgrading my character’s skin is very important because it makes me feel stronger and more focused when playing than just having the default skin. It also makes me enjoy playing more. So even if I sometimes lose, my cool new skin still makes me feel like a winner,” he shares. Upgrading his character’s skins is easy and hasslefree because Cong utilizes contactless payments like PayMaya to pay for his gaming purchases. In fact, more gamers like Cong are now able to enjoy a better gaming experience with the e-wallet's newest in-app offering – PlayMaya. Cong has recently been introduced as the ambassador for PlayMaya, PayMaya’s inapp gaming offering that provides Filipinos exclusive rewards to gaming-related purchases, access to over 290 gaming products, engaging mini-games, and curated gaming content. PayMaya is the first and only e-Wallet in the Philippines with this gamechanging feature. It is part of PayMaya's thrust to unlock and enrich the digital life of Filipino consumers with digital payment technology.

Pop band Wink reunites remotely SOME bands with members who already grew apart should find the new normal situation not a welcome atmosphere to reunite. But the quartet making up Wink knew they were close enough to each other to rekindle the old routine despite the pandemic. Basically a four-piece feel-good music act used to recording and performing live, Wink members kept their bond intact even after promoting their solid 2007 debut album “Wholehearted” and going around the gig circuit. Life just got in the way. Adjeng Buenaventura, the group’s lead singer whose solo career recently took off, saw their reunion coming. She shared, “During the start of the pandemic, there was a great desire to stay creative. So, we took the opportunity to make music again by doing video performances of covers we used to do safely in our respective homes. We fell right back into the rhythm of working together and stayed in touch and in step with each other.” The tinkering of old repertoire led to unearthing old melodies. There was no denying the combo was bound to produce new materials. The first big result is a fresh Wink single titled “Over and Over” to be dropped in digital stores tomorrow, June 18. The song was inspired by a couple’s testimony about restoring marriage after hurdling emotional obstacles. Herself a worship leader, the frontwoman felt much about how the pandemic has become a sort of test for marriages with weak foundations and a catalyst for happy unions to empower relationships. She wrote the track’s text along those lines.

Wink is composed of (from left) Junjun Regalado (drums, percussion, vocals), Adjeng Buenaventura (lead vocals), Adam Cesante (guitar and vocals), and JC Magsalin (bass and vocals).

“We tackled four compositions and I believe this one applies most to our mindset,” said drummer Junjun YUGEL Regalado who’s behind LOSORATA the track’s tune. "Over and Over" reflects that Wink members have not lost touch musically, and in fact became more confident as a unit. Their arrangement is neat and clever without having to force it. The song is smoothly interpreted with natural pop sensibility and employing first-rate digital recording. They warmly addressed the challenges of new normal recording and sounded like they did it in the same room. Truth was, they were just very much on the same page. Once guitarist Adam Cesante and bass player JC Magsalin got involved, there was no stopping Wink from creating their comeback record. The boys usually work out the arrangement and background vocals, with Adjeng’s soaring vocals serving as the cherry on top. The vibe was really good they invited their friend Arnold Buena to play keyboards. In hindsight, JC noted they never regretted their decision to step back for a while. “We dealt with our interests outside of the band and we had our own families to raise, too. Yet, we have always remained friends." Adam said it succinctly with regards to Wink’s future: “I believe we now have different stories and experiences to tell which will eventually lead to a new sound. We’ll release more originals." Credit goes to friendship and synergy for something always in sync called Wink.

Looking for a four-legged family member?

Check out these 5 pet adoption services T By Theriz Lizel R. Silvano

THEY’RE WAITING FOR YOU.

HE pandemic has been difficult for many, animals included.

Animal welfare advocates encourage prospective pet owners to adopt and not shop to give strays a chance to find their ‘fur-ever’ home.

According to FOUR PAWS International, the COVID-19 lockdowns have made it doubly hard for stray animals relying on leftovers from restaurants and markets to find food. Here in the country, the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) says most strays are once owned by families who can no longer sustain their pet’s needs and do not want to improve their pet’s well-being. There is a reason why animal welfare advocates encourage prospective pet owners to adopt and not shop. Many strays need help. The following pet adoption organizations help rescue and rehabilitate stray cats and dogs to make them ready for their fur-ever home:

BARK Mission

In addition to rescuing stray cats and dogs, the nonprofit organization also promotes responsible pet care, especially spaying and neutering. In an online interview with Manila Standard, BARK Mission said neutering was an ideal way to curb overpopulation of domestic animals. “Neutering is a harmless and effective way to control the stray population and ensure that all pets are well taken care of,” said co-founder Brigitte Lim. To further address the issue, Lim suggested that Filipinos should adopt instead of purchasing animals in stores. “People should think about the thousands of cats and dogs around Metro Manila who are born without homes and that they can help stray animals by adopting instead of shopping for a pet,” she pointed out.

Lim added, “We also think that the government should implement stricter policies about breeding cats and dogs, to ensure the welfare of the animals and to prevent stray overpopulation.” Filipinos can donate goods and funds to BARK Mission, adopt its rescued pets, sponsor neutered pets, and volunteer in its spay and neuter campaigns. Contact the nonprofit through bark.mission@gmail. com or through Bark Mission on Facebook.

Animal Kingdom Foundation is a nonprofit organization that advocates caring for dogs and aims to eliminate the cruel practice of dog slaughter for human consumption. Aside from offering adoption services, AKF has programs that raise awareness and provide information on animal welfare such as P.E.P or Pet Education Program, Project SNAP (Spay, Neuter, and Adopt Program), and We Feed As One project that was initiated during the lockdown to “feed the strays”, supply animal food, and help struggling shelters.
