Low vax supply hounds rollout DOH tags 4 regions ‘high-risk’; supply low

Ex-Health chief slams delays in distribution

By Willie Casas and Vito Barcelo

By Maricel V. Cruz and Willie Casas

HE Department of Health (DOH) on Wednesday identified Western Visayas, Eastern Visayas, the Davao region and Soccskargen as high-risk areas for COVID-19 due to their high average daily attack rates (ADAR) and hospital bed occupancy.

In an online forum, Dr. Alethea de Guzman, chief DOH epidemiologist, said low vaccine supply, non-compliance with health protocols, mass gatherings and mobility of people were behind the soaring COVID-19 cases outside the National Capital Region. Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said Metro Manila and its neighboring provinces are not being favored, but the decision to deliver the bulk of the vaccine supply in these areas is based on scientific inputs from health experts to stem the spread of COVID-19. Quoting health experts, Roque said creating an “artificial boundary” or wall around Metro Manila and the Plus 10 priority areas for vaccination – Bacolod, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, Baguio, Zamboanga, Dumaguete, Tuguegarao, General Santos, Naga, and Legazpi – would ensure the safety of those not vaccinated.

UNHEALTHY. Health workers stage a ‘sit-down protest’ demanding the release of unpaid benefits funded under Bayanihan Law 2 at the DOH Gate in Manila on Wednesday. Bayanihan 2 has expired, leaving P18 billion in unobligated funds that, to be utilized, will require an enabling law, according to a congressman. Norman Cruz

A FORMER Health secretary and a member of the minority bloc in the House of Representatives on Wednesday slammed what she described as the “unsystematic distribution” of vaccines against COVID-19 across the country. Iloilo Rep. Janette Garin said many areas in the country, particularly those that have not been visited by government officials -- including vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. and deputy chief implementer Vince Dizon -- do not have enough vaccines. Garin said now was not the time to allocate vaccines based on request. “If your place wasn’t visited, you won’t receive vaccines. If you fail to Next page

As Bayanihan 2 expires, ‘free ride’ comes to end; law eyed to tap funds By Maricel V. Cruz and Willie Casas BAYANIHAN 2 or the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act expired Wednesday with over P18 billion of unobligated funds. The Palace did not call for a special

session of Congress to extend the validity of the law, but Deputy Speaker Rufus Rodriguez said lawmakers can pass new legislation so that the unused funds earmarked by the law can still be used and not be returned to the national treasury. The law’s expiry also means the end of the government’s free ride program.

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board said it will halt its service contracting for the Libreng Sakay (and Free Ride) program, which includes the EDSA bus carousel, starting July 1. “The funds used to pay drivers and operators under the program come from

the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act,” LTFRB said in a statement. LTFRB chairman Martin Delgra said the EDSA bus carousel fare will now range from P13 to P61. Health workers from different government hospitals, meanwhile, held a Next page

Petron ups LPG price by P57.20 By Alena Mae S. Flores

ETRON Corp. announced a P5.20 per kilo or P57.20 per 11-kilo tank increase – the fifth consecutive week caused by optimism in global economic recovery – in the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) effective today (Thursday) due to higher contract price of LPG in the world market.

As Bayanihan 2... From A1 “sit-down protest” and noise barrage at the Department of Health in Manila to demand the release of benefits due them under the expired law, including meal, accommodation, transportation and special risk allowances and hazard pay. Wearing their personal protective equipment (PPE), the health workers simultaneously sat on the ground and rattled empty pots while holding placards to show their disappointment with the DOH and the Duterte administration. “It is very clear that the DOH and this government has enough funds. But the question is, where are these funds now?” said Robert Mendoza, national president of the Alliance of Health Workers (AHW). “Today is the last day of Bayanihan Law 2 and yet, we are still fighting and calling the DOH to immediately release our hard- earned benefits. We are very frustrated and angry with the DOH, the agency that is primarily mandated to look after our rights, protection and welfare. This is indeed a clear manifestation that the DOH and the Duterte administration are abandoning their role and responsibility to protect us.” AHW sent a letter to President Duterte on June 25 seeking immediate intervention and action regarding health workers’ issues and concerns. “To date, we still do not receive our meal, accommodation and transportation benefits. Worse, our hospital budget and finance officers said that DOH will only return back the funds for our meal, accommodation benefit but only 30 percent of the P56 million funds that they recalled from our hospital (Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center). And same goes with other various hospitals that were forced to comply with the DOH order. Where will they take the remaining funds now? We are strongly demanding the DOH to fully release the P38,000 per health worker allotment for meal, accommodation and transportation benefit,” said Cristy Donguines, president of the employees union at the Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center. “The gross incompetence and neglect of the DOH and the Duterte government is too much. We have suffered more than enough and we are extremely demoralized,” she said. “We don’t deserve to beg for these benefits as these were already provided by law in due recognition of our historical role in battling this pandemic. Many from our fellow health workers have been infected and some lay down their lives just to combat the deadly virus. Worst of all, they died without even enjoying the benefits they deserved.” The workers said they wanted Health Secretary Francisco Duque III and other officials held accountable for their gross neglect of health workers’ welfare. House Deputy Minority leader Carlos Isagani Zarate on Wednesday demanded a full accounting of the funds for Bayanihan 1 and 2 as the funds for Bayanihan 2 expired on June 30 with billions still to be obligated. Citing Department of Budget and Management data, Zarate, nominee of Bayan Muna party-list group, said the Bayanihan 1 and 2 fund releases and disbursements came to P217.2 billion as of April 15, 2021.

Duterte... From A1 “Needless to say we have achieved a lot on the president’s promise especially against the illegal drug trade,” Roque said in a press conference in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Citing Pulse Asia survey results, he said Duterte remained highly popular among Filipinos with a 91 percent approval rating. “There is a study by Pulse Asia that says that many of our people continue to trust and continue to be satisfied with his performance because he kept his promise to fight the illegal drug trade,” he said. Roque also mentioned the administration’s efforts to cut bureaucratic redtape and corruption at both the national and regional levels.

adjusted every first day of the month. Petron also raised the price of autoLPG by P2.90 per liter at the same time. “These reflect the international contract price of LPG for the month of July,” the company said. Latest monitoring from the Department of Energy showed that LPG prices range from P639 to P900 per 11-kilo tank. This developed as the country’s oil firms raised pump prices by P1 per liter for gasoline, P0.65 per liter for diesel

and P0.70 per liter for kerosene effective yesterday. The latest adjustment resulted in a net increase of P11.75 per liter for gasoline, P9.90 per liter for diesel and P8.40 per liter for kerosene since the start of the year. Oil prices have been going up for the past weeks on the strength of a rapidly recovering global economy and continued output restraint among US shale producers.

High court casts aside bid to access SALNs

Justice chief rejects PNP petition for case review By Rey E. Requejo THE Department of Justice has denied the petition for review filed by the Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group seeking a reversal of the resolution that dismissed the kidnapping and other criminal charges against several militant leaders led by Kabataan Party-list Rep. Sarah Elago for allegedly radicalizing youth activist Alicia Jasper Lucena. In a resolution dated June 2, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said his office denied the petition for review for not complying with the requirements, citing Section 12 of Department Circular 70 series of 2000. Under the department circular, the Justice Secretary may motu proprio or upon motion, dismiss a petition for review, if the procedure or any of the requirements provided therein has not been complied with. Section 5 (f) of the circular requires that the petition should have a proof of service of a copy to the adverse party and the prosecution office concerned. “It is not clear in the instant petition that both respondents-appellees and the Prosecutor General were furnished with a copy thereof. Moreover, complainant-appellant failed to attach a legible duplicate original or certified true copy of the resolution appealed from, in express violation of Paragraph 2 of the said Section 5,” the three-page resolution stated. Guevarra said the right to appeal was neither a natural right nor part of due process as it was merely a statutory privilege and might be exercised only in accordance with the law. “The party who seeks to avail (itself) of the same must comply with the requirements set forth in the law. Failing to do so, the right to appeal is lost,” he said.

THE Supreme Court has ruled that access to a public official’s Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth is “not an absolute vested right” as it junked a petition seeking to nullify the restrictions set by the Ombudsman on the release of the said public documents. “While the right of access and information to a public official’s SALN

is provided under the Constitution and Republic Act No. 6713, the same is not an absolute vested right,” the SC said in a resolution released on Wednesday. “The Court has declared in the past that while no prohibition could stand against access to official records such as the SALN, the same is undoubtedly subject to regulation,” it added.

The decision stemmed from a petition filed by taxpayer Louis Biraogo in December after the Office of the Ombudsman rejected his request for a copy of the SALN of Vice President Leni Robredo. Ombudsman Samuel Martires earlier ruled that SALNs may not be accessed without the consent of the concerned public official.

The list includes China, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Brunei, Laos, Palau, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam, among others. Returning Filipinos from these areas will be tested on the fifth day. If they test negative, they will be allowed to finish the rest of the 14-day quarantine at home. Malacañang likewise disclosed the final community quarantine classifications for July 1 to 15. Metro Manila, Bulacan and Rizal will remain under General Community Quarantine with some restrictions while Laguna and Cavite will be under GCQ with heightened restrictions. Ifugao province was removed in the list of areas under GCQ and was placed under the loosest level of Modified GCQ. With the inclusion of Apayao that was previously under the stricted Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine, there are now 25 areas under GCQ: Baguio City, the city of Santiago in Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Batangas, Quezon, Guimaras, Aklan, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, Antique, Capiz, Zamboanga Sibugay, City of Zamboanga, Iligan City, General Santos City, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, Cotabato, South Cotabato, Agusan del Norte, Surigao del Norte, Agusan del Sur, and Cotabato City. The remaining 20 areas other MECQ are as follows: Cagayan, Apayao, Bataan, Lucena City, Puerto Princesa, Naga City, Iloilo City, Iloilo province, Negros Oriental, Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga del Norte, Cagayan de Oro City, Davao City, Davao Oriental, Davao Occidental, Davao de Oro, Davao del Sur, Davao Del Norte, Butuan City, Dinagat Islands, and Surigao del Sur. De Guzman, for her part, said all four regions – Western Visayas, Eastern Visayas, the Davao region and Soccskar-

gen – posted an ADAR higher than seven cases per 100,000 population, classifying them as high-risk areas. “This means their daily new cases are higher-than-usual in regard to their population,” De Guzman said in Filipino. “We are also seeing a corresponding increase in their health care and ICU utilization rates,” she added. Since Metro Manila has been declared the epicenter of the pandemic, De Guzman said people living in the new socalled “high risk areas” were complacent and failed to strictly adhere to protocols imposed by the DOH and the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF). She said the DOH has yet to ascertain if the spike in cases was also due to the presence of more infectious COVID-19 variants. Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire, however, said they see an increase in variant cases in some areas that are experiencing spikes. Vergeire said increased mobility, failure to comply with public health standards, and slow action from local governments could also be driving the increasing cases in areas outside of NCR Plus. In particular, De Guzman said critical care capacity in Cagayan, Bataan, Naga City, Iloilo City, Antique, Zamboanga del Norte, Davao City, South Cotabato, and Lucena City fell under the critical level of 85 percent or higher. The ICU bed utilization rates in La Union, Tacloban City, Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Occidental, Davao del Norte, General Santos City, Cotabato City, Baguio City, and Makati City are considered high risk, with an occupancy rate of between 70 percent and 84 percent. In Davao (Region 11), some 71.43 percent of hospital beds were occupied

ings to determine priority areas for the distribution of vaccines. Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said there is no preferential treatment in the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to the “National Capital Region (NCR) Plus 8 or Plus 10.” The NCR Plus 8, the initial areas prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination, consists of Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, Pampanga, Batangas, Rizal, Bulacan, Metro Davao, and Metro Cebu. Roque later announced that 10 more cities would be prioritized for vaccine distribution – Bacolod, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, Baguio, Zamboanga, Dumaguete, Tuguegarao, General Santos, Naga, and Legazpi. “There is science behind this. It’s not favoritism for favoritism’s sake. It’s not favoritism because of economic activity alone,” he said in a press conference in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Quoting health experts, Roque said creating an “artificial boundary” or wall around Metro Manila and these

priority areas would ensure the safety of those not vaccinated. “If you solve the problem here, you will solve the problem of the entire country because the cases in Metro Manila are the ones spreading across the country,” he said. Roque said the “NCR Plus 8, Plus 10” needed to be prioritized considering that they are highly urbanized and contribute much to the economy. On Monday, the Philippines marked more than 10 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered since the country kicked off its inoculation program in March. Official government data showed that 10,065,414 doses were given as of June 27. Of this number, 2,527,286 Filipinos have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19, while 7,538,128 have received their first shot. The Philippines aims to achieve “population protection” by yearend by vaccinating 40 percent to 50 percent of its people, especially in priority areas.

that we are committed to provide the best and most current volcano monitoring data available, especially that these have important safety and health implications,” it said in its advisory. “We hope that in putting forward the above information, the public is better guided and assured that accurate, responsive, transparent and honest information service by our institute remains our top priority.” Netizens posted that the volcanic smog or vog from Taal Volcano had reached the NCR, but Phivolcs on Tuesday said the haze in Metro Manila came from pollution, and not from Taal Volcano. Phivolcs, in its June 30 press release, said “the plumes extend from the planetary boundary layer or PBL, representing near-ground surface levels, to the upper troposphere at almost 20 kilometers above sea level and mostly spread over the Batangas, Laguna, Cavite, Rizal, Bulacan, Pampanga, Bataan and Zambales provinces, and the National Capital Region. Satellite detection on 29 June 2021 showed an even larger coverage of Luzon Island.” The agency was flooded by inquiries about the presence of sulfur dioxide and vog in Metro Manila and the surrounding provinces based on the observations of haze.

DOH’s expenses and submit reports to the Senate. “Secretary Duque already faced the Senate. He explained there and no cases were filed after Secretary Duque’s explanation,” Roque said. Roque also questioned Pacquiao’s failure to ask Duque when the Senate held inquiries into the government’s COVID-19 response efforts. For his part, Duque said he was saddened over Pacquiao’s “baseless accusations” after the senator called for an investigation on the DOH’s pandemic expenses. But Duque vowed his office would submit itself to legislators’ inquiries as “part of the checks and balances” in government. Duque said the DOH was ready to cooperate with any investigation even as he was “disheartened” by Pacquiao’s allegations.

“We were there [Senate hearing] for eight hours but there was not a single question from him and he wasn’t at that meeting either. If he has accusations of that gravity, you would think he would ask questions,” he said. Duque also clarified the DOH did not purchase rapid test kits for COVID-19, contrary to Pacquiao’s claim, as the agency only buys the “gold standard” RT-PCR test kits. Duque reiterated none of the funds for vaccine loans passed through the DOH as these went straight to the manufacturers. In related developments, Senator Aquilino Pimentel III, partymate of Pacquiao, said it would be a waste of time to argue whether corruption under the Duterte administration was “three times” worse than previous administrations as this would be a “pointless and endless” debate.

“If you solve the problem here, you will solve the problem of the entire country because the cases in Metro Manila are the ones spreading across the country,” Roque said. “There is a science behind this,” the Palace official added. The Philippines is aiming to inoculate at least 50 percent or about 50 million of its people to achieve “population protection.” But given the tight supply of vaccines worldwide, the country has so far administered more than 10 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines – of which more than 2.5 million were given as second dose and over 7.5 million as first dose as of June 27. For his part, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III blamed the inequitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines across the globe for the Philippines’ poor performance in the latest COVID Resilience Ranking. In a TV interview, Duque said the country’s COVID-19 vaccine coverage is low because rich nations have hoarded supplies. “Vaccines only arrive in trickles in poor or developing countries like ours. One big problem is the global failure to share vaccines equitably to accelerate our recovery from this pandemic,” he said in Filipino. Under the COVID Resilience Ranking, which scores 53 economies, the Philippines ranked 52nd in June with a score of 45.3, ahead only of Argentina with 37. Also on Wednesday, the Palace released the list of “green countries” or low-risk jurisdictions of origin for arriving fully-vaccinated Filipinos who may now enjoy a shorter seven-day mandatory quarantine.

Ex-Health... From A1 call them, you will not be provided with vaccines. We are wasting time. This is not systematic,” Garin said. Instead, she said, vaccines should be distributed based on the population of an area. “Why don’t we do it scientifically and come up with a formula?” Garin said. Galvez had earlier apologized for the delays in the delivery of vaccines to some local governments. At the onset of 2020, the Philippine population stood at 109.48 million, and is projected to hit 110.88 million by the end of 2021, based on government data. Government officials said that transportation and temperature concerns are among factors contributing to the delayed delivery of vaccines in some provinces. The Palace, meanwhile, said the government relies on health experts’ find“Also among the achievements are inroads in corruption and red tape,” he added. In October 2020, Duterte ordered the Department of Justice to probe corruption “in the entire government.” As part of efforts to ensure speedier transactions, the President also ordered all agencies and offices to finish transactions within hours, Roque said. He added Duterte also signed milestone bills into laws including Republic Act 10931 or the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act and RA 11223 or the Universal Health Care Act to name a few. “Let us not forget that the President is the first president to sign laws on free tuition in state universities and colleges, free healthcare treatment and medicines, Universal Health Care, free irrigation for farmers, free Wi-Fi among others,” he said.

“For me, perhaps, Senator Pacquiao was absent when Cabinet secretaries presented. Or if he is not absent, he may have been preoccupied with something else,” he said. Pacqiuao earlier identified the DOH as the agency to be investigated due to alleged questionable purchase of COVID-19 rapid test kits, personal protective equipment for healthcare workers, and face masks. The senator made the disclosure after President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday challenged him to name corrupt workers in government following Pacquiao’s claim that corruption was getting worse under the current administration. The Palace defended the health chief, saying Duque was able to present the

Estate tax amnesty valid until 2023, Duterte says P RESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday signed a law extending the availment period of the estate tax amnesty for two years.

The new law, Republic Act 11569, amends RA 11213 or the Estate Amnesty Act to prolong the validity of the estate tax amnesty program. RA 11213, signed by Duterte on February 14, 2019, granted taxpayers a one-time opportunity to settle their tax obligations through an estate amnesty program that gave reasonable tax relief to estates with outstanding estate tax liabilities. Section 6 of RA 11213 stated that estate administrator, lawful heirs, or beneﬁciaries had two years or until June 15, 2021 to make use of the es-

tate tax amnesty. Under RA 11569, the new deadline for the filing of estate tax amnesty returns was set on June 14, 2023. “The payment of the amnesty tax shall be made at the time the Return is filed: Provided, That for nonresident decedents, the Estate Tax Amnesty Return shall be filed and the corresponding amnesty tax be paid at the Revenue District Office No. 39, or any other Revenue District Office which shall be indicated in the Implementing Rules and Regulations,” RA 11569 read. Those who avail themselves of the

estate tax amnesty enjoy immunity from the payment of estate taxes, civil, criminal, and administrative cases and penalties. The Estate Amnesty Act covers the estate of decedents who died on or before December 31, 2017, with or without assessments duly issued, whose estate taxes have remained unpaid or have accrued, as of December 31, 2017. RA 11569 mandates the Finance secretary, in coordination with the Internal Revenue commissioner, to issue necessary rules and regulations 60 days after the new law’s effectivity. The newly-signed law takes effect 15 days after its publication in the Ofﬁcial Gazette or in two newspapers of general circulation.

Zuellig Pharma loses deal with QC over glitch-hit app By Rio N. Araja THE Quezon City government has terminated its contract with health-care service provider Zuellig Pharma over technical glitches on its eZConsult application. “We have already given Zuellig ample time to improve its system upon their request and yet their system has crashed again for the 9th time. We don’t want to cause undue stress to our constituents who only want to register for vaccination,” Mayor Joy Belmonte said. Zuellig reported a system upgrade for eZConsult, which “could already accommodate up to 50,000 users at a time,” but its system bogged down again.

“However, its system crashed again when we opened new slots. Instead of getting faster, the registration gets slower,” she said. Belmonte instructed residents to instead register at the city government-assisted QC Vax Easy portal. Lawyer Orlando Casimiro, the city’s legal ofﬁcer, accused Zuellig of breaching contractual obligations to the city for failing to improve its services. “The Information Technology portion of the Service Agreement with the city government will be terminated and damages will be claimed against Zuellig because of the delays, inconvenience and frustration suffered by the residents.

A COMMITTEE of the House of Representatives has told the Department of Education to produce textbooks with “nil to zero” errors as it cited the need for “more stringent measures” in the preparation of school materials. At the resumption of the congressional inquiry into the distribution of “errorfilled” educational materials, Committee on Public Accounts chairman Jose Singson Jr. said that education officials have yet to convince the House panel that actions taken to address the problem “do not give lawmakers confidence that mistakes will not happen again.” “Basically, the DepEd has not assured us that its quality assurance teams are effective. These have been in place before yet errors were still committed,” Singson, the nominee of the party-list group Probinsyano Ako, said during the hearing. Earlier, Singson disclosed that the House panel will study the possibility of imposing penalties against persons behind error-filled textbooks and learning materials. “We cannot allow our youth to learn a mistake and grow with it. For us to ensure that errors are not published, we have to take stronger measures to address the situation,” Singson later told reporters. In the same hearing, he said that the public accounts committee will also prepare recommendations to allegations that DepEd had defied provisions of Republic Act 8047 or the Book Publishing Industry Development Act. COA, in its 2018 annual audit report for DepEd, also noted that the department violated provisions of RA 8047 that directed it to phase out its book publication and distribution duties. COA Supervising Auditor Job Aguirre confirmed that DepEd has continued to defy provisions of the RA 8047 that assigned the National Book Development Board (NBDB) and the private sector the job of publishing and distributing books for elementary and secondary education. “We confirm and we still maintain that they (DepEd) continuously violate RA 8047. But we believe that this problem can be resolved by the passage of an enabling law,” said Aguirre. Aguirre also admitted that COA has not taken any action on DepEd’s failure to comply with the audit recommendation to stop encroaching into NBDB’s authority granted by RA 8047.

By Joel E. Zurbano THIS time, red onions from China won’t make local traders cry. Government agents seized P10 million worth of red onions hidden in a shipment of ice cream from China. The shipment was impounded before it could ﬂood the market, deprive the government of revenue and dampen prices of local farmers, according to authorities. The shipment consigned to E. Austero Merchandising was intercepted by members of the Manila International Container Port Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service ) on Monday. MICP-CIIS chief Alvin Enciso said they immediately requested the issuance of an alert order after receiving “derogatory information” about the two containers from China. “When we received information like this, we take action immediately because time is of the essence here. We want to see and examine the shipments as soon as the containers arrive so we know what requests we need to make to further investigate the shipments,” said Enciso. The shipment was also placed under 100 percent physical examination which was witnessed by the CIIS, personnel from the bureau’s Enforcement and Security Service, and MICP district collector Romeo Allan Rosales. The examiners then discovered the red onions concealed in ice cream containers. Based on import documents, the owner described the shipment containing 204 cartons of Aice Chocolate Crispy Vanilla and Milk-Coated with Two Layers of Chocolate, 167 cartons of Aice Chocolate Cup, 213 cartons of Aice Chocolate-Iced Milk with Chocolate Milk-Flavored Ice Cream Stick with Chocolate, and other varieties. Enciso said the boxes labeled as ice cream sticks were placed on the threshold of the container to conceal the presence of the red onions inside. He added some of the red onions were also hidden inside the boxes of the ice cream. Rosales issued a Warrant of Seizure and Detention against the shipment for violating number Section 1113 under Section 1400 of Republic Act 10863, also known as the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA). Enciso said aside from the misdeclaration of the shipment, the consignee also had no r permits from the Bureau of Plants and Industry (BPI) as required for him to bring such food items into the country.

THE Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) will investigate a private company for paying more than P1,500 in coins the salary of one of its workers. “I have already ordered the director of the National Capital Region of the Labor Department to inspect the workplace and look into the complaints,”Labor secretary Silvestre Bello III said. Bello said the department will also probe allegations that the company, Nexgreen Enterprise, is committing unfair labor practices. The worker identiﬁed as ‘Russel’ alleged that his salary amounting to P1,506.00 was intentionally given in coins by the company because his employer resented his complaints about unfair labor practices in the workplace. “If that is true, then the company is in big trouble,” Bello said. ULPs are offenses committed by the employer or labor organization that violate the constitutional right of workers and employees to selforganization, Bello explained. “ULP acts are inimical to the legitimate interests

of both labor and management, disrupt industrial peace, and hinder the promotion of healthy and stable labor-management relations,” he said. Moreover, ULP is a violation of both labor and management’s civil rights and a criminal offense against the State, Bello said. “Criminal ULP cases may be filed with the regular courts. No criminal prosecution may be instituted, however, without a final judgment from the National Labor Relations Commission that an unfair labor practice was committed,” he said. “So let’s wait for the outcome and recommendation of our regional office tasked to handle the matter. There’s due process to follow,” Bello added. In giving salary in coins, the company could have also violated the Bangko Sentral Pilipinas (BSP) regulations, which impose a limit in using coins as legal tender. “I believe the BSP can say a lot about this aspect,” the Labor chief said. Meanwhile, Bello called on ‘Russel’ to file a formal complaint before DOLE to boost the case against his employer. “He can be assured that DOLE will provide all the assistance needed to give him justice,” Bello said.

SENATOR Sherwin Gatchalian on Wednesday said that the Senate Committee on Energy has been reviewing the performance of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines and its compliance with its obligations under the Constitution, the law, its franchise, and concession agreement. Gatchalian said that if NGCP will comply, then (there’s) no need to touch on their franchise. We are giving them time to correct them And if they will not make corrections or do not comply, that’s the time that we will take drastic (moves),” said Gatchalian. Any recommendation from the Gatchalian committee will be referred to the Senate Public Services Committee which has the jurisdiction over the company’s franchise. The senator said his committee’s review of the performance of the NGCP has been underway even before the recent rotational brownouts in some key areas in Luzon which triggered an inquiry in the upper chamber. Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi had said that a legislation must be crafted to amend NGCP’s franchise due to many factors. Among them is the non-compliance with a DOE circular ordering NGCP to contract 100-percent ﬁrm contracts for ancillary services, which Cusi mentioned as one of the causes of the rotational brownouts in several areas in Luzon from end May to early June. President Duterte met with NGCP and energy ofﬁcials in Malacanang last Friday, June 25, to address the power interruptions in Luzon. Reports also say the alleged non-compliance of the electricity network concessionaire to the provisions of the contract that the NGCP signed with the government was one of the discussions during the meeting.

Senate begins overhaul of 20-year-old Wildlife Act By Macon Ramos-Araneta STRESSING that many illegal wildlife trades happen daily yet undetected and the people behind it remain unapprehended, the Senate on Wednesday started its hearing on the 20-year-old Republic Act 9147 or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act. Senator Cynthia Villar and Senate Majority Leader Miguel Zubiri cited the need to boost and improve RA 9147, particularly on the imposition of stronger, more specific penalties to enhance its deterrent effect. Villar, chair of the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, said the Philippines is a signatory to the Convention in International Trade on Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Zubiri, principal author of RA 9147, noted that the Wildlife Act is ripe for revision based on the collective experience of government regulators, law enforcement agencies, volunteers, non-government organizations, scientists and researchers, conservationists, local government units, and legitimate wildlife breeders, traders, and hobbyists. “It’s high time that the Wildlife Act be updated to comply or be consistent with the Philippine treaty obligations concerning wildlife under multi-lateral agreements such as CITES, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), and the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS),” Zubiri said during the hybrid hearing on wildlife conservation. He noted that the legal loopholes exploited by illegal wildlife collectors and traders must be removed. For her part, Villar said wildlife crimes continue to proliferate despite the pandemic. “This can be proven by the number of persons arrested and wildlife species confiscated,” she said.

SSS unveils new mobile app 4.0 for salary loans MEMBERS of the Social Security System may now apply for salary loans through its mobile application. SSS president and chief executive officer Aurora Ignacio said the SSS mobile app version 4.0 was introduced to ease navigation and make presentations to users effortless. “It magnifies our commitment to better serve mobile app users by continuously incorporating the latest in mobile technology,” Ignacio said in a statement. The new features included a redesigned dashboard allowing enrolled members to check contributions, apply for and check the status of salary loans, view benefit claims and contribution payment services. The mobile app has a branch locator feature wherein users can search for an SSS branch closest to them that is linked to Google Maps and Petal Maps.

TO CONTROL DELTA VARIANT

Airlines told to bar entry of riders from 7 countries By Vito Barcelo

HE Bureau of Immigration (BI) reminded airlines not to board passengers arriving from seven restricted countries until July 15 to prevent the spread of the more infectious Delta coronavirus variant.

In an advisory, BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said the extension of the ban complies with the latest Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) resolution extending for two more weeks the ban on the entry of passengers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.

of cases. The CDC bases its estimates on genomic sequencing of samples taken from people and then models what that might mean for the whole country. The P.1 or Gamma variant first seen in Brazil is the third most common variant in the US, accounting for 14.5% of cases as of June 19. COVID-19 infections are rising again in Europe after falling for two and a half months, mainly because of the Delta variant in the UK and Russia, according to a tally Tuesday by AFP. The two countries have experienced not only the newest cases in Europe, but also the most rapid spread among those that have recorded more than 1,000 cases per day. Meanwhile, Atty. Carlos Capulong, BI Port Operations Division Chief, clarified that the latest IATF resolution also allowed passengers who have been fully vaccinated to undergo a 7-day facility based quarantine.

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte will visit Sri Lanka once the global pandemic situation has improved, the Palace said Wednesday. The Palace said that Sri Lanka President Gotabaya Rajapaksa invited Duterte during a phone conversation on June 28 while discussing ways to boost bilateral cooperation on trade, defense, and tourism. Sri Lanka, however, is currently one of seven countries that the Philippines has imposed a travel ban on to stem the spread of the coronavirus. “President Rajapaksa extended deepest appreciation for the cooperation and mutual support between Sri Lanka and the Philippines in multilateral venues, including at the United Nations Human Rights,” the Palace said. “He likewise extended his invitation for President Duterte to visit Sri Lanka, to which the President responded saying that he is looking forward to undertaking such visit when the global situation normalizes,” it said. “Over the last six decades we have pursued fruitful relations. We look forward to sustaining this and exploring further the full potential of our cooperative ties,” Duterte said. “The President thanked the Sri Lankan government for its assistance in the repatriation of Filipinos amid this pandemic and for the safe return of Filipino seafarers in the MT New Diamond that caught fire off the eastern coast of Sri Lanka in September 2020,” the Palace said. “They also agreed that combatting COVID-19 is a shared responsibility and an opportunity to work in solidarity with all nations,” the Palace added. During the phone call, the two leaders renewed their shared commitment to further enhance cooperation as the two countries commemorate 60 years of diplomatic relations this year. “Over the last six decades we have pursued fruitful relations. We look forward to sustaining this and exploring further the full potential of our cooperative ties,” Duterte was quoted as saying. He conveyed the Philippine government’s interest to further strengthen engagement with Sri Lanka in the United Nations on issues of common interest. Duterte also thanked the Sri Lankan government for its assistance in the repatriation of Filipinos amid the pandemic and for the safe return of Filipino seafarers in the MT New Diamond that caught fire off the eastern coast of Sri Lanka in September last year. Reports showed that one Filipino crew member died “in a boiler explosion” while another was injured after a fire broke out on the large oil tanker MT New Diamond off the eastern coast of Sri Lanka.Vito Barcelo

Morente said existing guidelines governing the arrival of passengers from these seven countries shall still be observed. “Foreigners arriving from the said countries will be denied entry and immediately sent back to their port of origin. On the other hand, Filipinos arriving from these countries as part of repatriation efforts by the government and non-government sectors will be allowed entry,” the BI chief added. The Delta variant now accounts for 26% of COVID-19 cases in the United States, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated in an update Tuesday. The B.1.1.7 or Alpha lineage of the virus, first spotted in the United Kingdom, was still the dominant variant in the US as of June 19, representing 47.8% of cases, the CDC estimated. But it said the B.1.617.2 or Delta variant first seen in India was now the second most common lineage, making up 26.1%

said the EU and the Department of Science and Technology have jointly developed CopPhil to enhance the country’s space program. It is a pioneering initiative – the first and only one in the ASEAN region – that will be deployed in the third quarter of 2021. The European and Filipino participants during the webinar discussed CopPhil’s forthcoming deployment, particularly on how the European space programs Copernicus and Galileo and other space technologies may help in disaster risk prevention.

They noted the Philippines is located within the Pacific Ring of Fire and is thus subject to volcanic and seismic instability and strong typhoons. Copernicus is the EU’s Earth observation program, offering information services on a free-to-use basis that draw from satellite Earth Observation and non-space-based data on the ground and at sea. Galileo is the EU’s Global Satellite Navigation System and is also called “European GPS” as it provides accurate positioning and timing information.

House tells BuCor to take down Bilibid wall By Maricel V. Cruz THE House of Representatives Committee on Justice on Wednesday warned the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) to dismantle the barrier it put up across Insular Prison Road in the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) reservation in Muntinlupa City or face charges. Citing Section 3 (e) of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, Leyte Rep. Vicente Veloso, the committee’s chairperson, told a congressional hearing that the bureau “could not put up a barrier otherwise they could be charged for violating the law.”

“If you don’t demolish that, you could be charged before the Ombudsman and it could reach the Sandiganbayan,” Veloso added. The committee conducted the congressional inquiry in response to a resolution filed by Muntinlupa Rep. Ruffy Biazon protesting the wall being built by the BuCor along Insular Prison Road. In filing his resolution, Biazon said the construction of the wall was illegal and was a nuisance as defined by Article 694 of the Civil Code, as it obstructs and interferes with the free passage of a public highway or street.

LA UNION residents called on the Philippine National Police (PNP) to immediately hunt down the leader and financier of an alleged assassination squad following the arrest of the group’s several members over the killing of a farm caretaker in Bacnotan town last week. “Local residents are very nervous about what is happening in the province. We are afraid that the political killings in 2018 might happen again because of the continued presence of a gun-for-hire group in our province,” said Francisco Dacanay, a resident of the City of San Fernando. PNP Chief Gen. Guillermo Eleazar said several suspects linked to the group are now under the custody of La Union police. He said they were investigating of the suspects were really members of a gun-for-hire group. “Patuloy ang imbestigasyon kung totoong assassination squad. Very good may mga nahuli na,” Eleazar said in an interview over radio station DWIZ. Several ex-military and police personnel, who are believed to be members of the Magpali gun-forhire group, were arrested on June 23, 2021, following the killing of Cristito Morate, a farm caretaker in Barangay Ballogo, Bacnotan, La Union on June 22, 2021. The 49-year-old victim was shot dead over a right-of-way dispute with a member of the group. La Union police said the suspects reportedly shot the victim in the head and fled to San Juan town. In a report by Bombo Radyo La Union, Police Major Gerardo Macaraeg Jr., chief of the San Juan Police Station, said several suspects were eventually arrested while trying to flee aboard a pickup truck following the discovery of their safe house in a resort.

Scores dead as record-breaking heat wave grips Canada, USA SCORES of deaths in Canada’s Vancouver area are likely linked to a grueling heat wave, authorities said Tuesday, as the country recorded its highest ever temperature amid scorching conditions that extended to the US Pacific Northwest. At least 134 people have died suddenly since Friday in the Vancouver area,Manila according to figures released by Standard the city police department and the RoyTODAY al Canadian Mounted police. The Vancouver Police Department alone said it had responded to more than 65 sudden deaths since Friday, with the vast majority “related to the heat.” Canada set a new all-time high temperature record for a third day in a row Tuesday, reaching 49.5 degrees Celsius in Lytton, British Columbia, about 250 kilometers east of Vancouver, the country’s weather service, Environment Canada, reported. “Vancouver has never experienced heat like this, and sadly dozens of people are dying because of it,” police sergeant Steve Addison said. Other local municipalities have said

they too have responded to many sudden death calls, but have yet to release tolls. Some Vancouver locals said they had never experienced such temperatures before. “It’s never this bad. I’ve never seen anything like this,” said a Vancouver resident who only gave her name as Rosa. “I hope it never becomes like this ever again. This is too much.” Climate change is causing record-setting temperatures to become more frequent. Globally, the decade to 2019 was the hottest recorded, and the five hottest years have all occurred within the last five years. The scorching heat stretching from the US state of Oregon to Canada’s Arctic territories has been blamed on a high-pressure ridge trapping warm air in the region. Temperatures in the US Pacific Northwest cities of Portland and Seattle reached levels not seen since recordkeeping began in the 1940s, according to the National Weather Service. AFP

‘Revolution Love’ sweeps protest barricades in Myanmar WITH bars shuttered, universities empty and hook-up apps poleaxed by internet blackouts, dating got much harder in post-coup Myanmar, but young people are still finding love— often in the heady rush of anti-junta protests. Since the military seized power in February, ousting civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and ending a decade-long experiment with democracy, outrage on the streets has been met with a brutal crackdown on dissent. Among protesters who came of age during Myanmar’s flirtation with parliamentary rule, “Taw Lan Yay Puu Sar”

—“Revolution Love” in Burmese—is thriving alongside the anger and despair, making and breaking relationships. “Meeting someone at a protest is very different and I think it is more exciting,” Zan, a 19-year-old student who met his girlfriend at an anti-junta demonstration in February, told AFP. They got chatting after he offered her some oranges during a protest. A few days later she contacted him on Facebook. They started going to protests together, and romance blossomed against the backdrop of gunfire, burning tires and chaos of the junta’s intensifying

crackdown. “It is hard because you never know what is going to happen,” said Zan, who only wanted to give his first name. “We are always scared of when we will get shot. We could get arrested, or something could happen at any moment.” The lovebirds had a close call in March when police suddenly broke through the barricade they were sheltering behind, sending them fleeing for a safehouse where they had to hide for several hours. “When I am at a protest, it is not just me, but she is with me,” Zan said. “So, when I must run, I will also make sure

Top Nokor execs fired after crucial COVID incident

NORTH Korean leader Kim Jong Un replaced several senior officials after a “crucial” coronavirus incident, state media reported Wednesday, potentially signaling a breach in the country’s epidemic defenses. Pyongyang closed its borders in January last year to try to protect itself against the virus that first emerged in neighbouring China and has gone on to sweep the world. It has not publicly confirmed any cases of the disease at any point, either in state media or in the test statistics it has disclosed to the World Health Organization. But analysts said the latest development was a clear indication there had been infections in the isolated North, which is under international sanctions for its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs. Officials had neglected their duties and caused a “crucial” incident, “creating a great crisis in ensuring the security of the state and safety of the people and entailed grave consequences,” Kim told a politburo meeting, according to the state Korean Central News Agency.

Seven dead, 11 missing as passenger ferry sinks in rough seas in Bali island INDONESIAN rescuers were searching for 11 people still missing after a passenger ferry sank off the coast of Bali in rough seas, killing at least seven, authorities said Wednesday. Dozens of survivors were plucked from the water Tuesday evening after the KMP Yunicee, carrying 57 passengers and crew, went down near Gilimanuk port at the western end of the holiday island. It had been traveling across a narrow strait from Java island. But 11 people remained missing Wednesday while authorities confirmed that they had pulled seven dead from the waters, updating an earlier toll. “We are still searching for the miss-

ing,” said Bali search and rescue chief Gede Darmada. “Last night, the rescue was hampered by low visibility and high waves.” It was unclear what caused the accident. Marine accidents are common in Indonesia, an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, where many use ferries and other boats to travel despite poor safety standards. In 2018, about 160 people drowned when a ferry sank into the depths of one of the world’s deepest lakes on Sumatra island. And more than 300 people are estimated to have drowned in 2009 when a ferry sank between Sulawesi and Borneo. AFP

HONG Kong’s national security law has created a “human rights emergency,” Amnesty International said Wednesday, a year after China imposed it on the city to crush a pro-democracy movement. The legislation—which criminalizes anything authorities deem subversion, secession, collusion with foreign forces and terrorism with up to life in prison – has radically transformed Hong Kong’s political and legal landscape. “In one year, the National Security Law has put Hong Kong on a rapid path to becoming a police state and created a human rights emergency for the people living there,” Amnesty’s Asia-Pacific Regional Director Yamini Mishra said. Beijing insisted the legislation was required to restore stability after huge and sometimes violent prodemocracy demonstrations in 2019, but promised it would target only an “extreme minority.” Police and prosecutors have since applied the law broadly, with the vast majority of charges targeting political speech, reneging on China’s assurances that Hong Kong would be allowed to maintain its key liberties and autonomy after its 1997 handover from Britain.

Taiwan boy thrown 27 times in judo class dies A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD Taiwanese boy who was in a coma for over two months after he was repeatedly thrown to the floor during a judo class has died, a hospital said Tuesday. The boy, who was only identified by his family name Huang, was rushed to Feng Yuan Hospital in central Taichung city on April 21 after he was reportedly thrown 27 times by his judo coach. He had been in a coma for 70 days with brain hemorrhages and developed respiratory problems as well as multiple organ failure before his parents decided to take him off life support on Tuesday, a hospital official told AFP. His coach, identified by his surname Ho, was indicted earlier this month on charges of inflicting severe injuries on children and using children to commit a crime, prosecutors said in a statement. The coach instructed other children to practice with Huang even when the boy was not familiar with basic judo movements, and he started to use several throwing techniques on the child after he said “the coach is a big idiot,” according to the statement. The boy complained of a bad headache but Ho proceeded to throw him a dozen more times that caused him to vomit, it added. AFP

Market slips; SM Prime, GT Capital fall

HARE prices fell Wednesday on profit taking with some investors dumping their holdings in favor of speculative stocks.

The Philippine Stock Exchange Index dropped 54.74 points, or 0.8 percent, to 6,901.91 on a value turnover of P6.4 billion. Losers beat gainers, 109 to 94, with 47 issues unchanged. SM Prime Holdings Inc. of the Sy Group declined 3.2 percent to P36.50,

while GT Capital Holdings Inc. of the Ty Group slipped 2.9 percent to P607. Emperador Inc., the biggest liquor maker, however, advanced 6.5 percent to P12.80, while major noodle maker Monde Nissin Corp. rose 3 percent to P16.52. Meanwhile, Asian equities mostly rose Wednesday, building on strong gains in Europe and Wall Street as investors were buoyed by optimism over a strong economic recovery despite fears over rising virus cases around the world. Vaccine optimism was also given an extra boost after Moderna said its drug protected against the Delta strain that

has spread rapidly around the world and accounts for an increasing number of new infections. Traders were given a healthy lead from their US counterparts after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq again finished at records in New York as data showed US consumer confidence surged in June to its highest pandemic-era level. The Conference Board’s monthly report showed Americans increasingly upbeat about the economy and their job prospects, putting aside worries over rising prices. “Low virus transmission, vaccinations,

and expanded reopenings made consumers much more confident,” Oren Klachkin of Oxford Economics said. “Consumers are coming out of their shell.” The positive mood bodes well for other key data this week including on factory and services activity, with the crucial June jobs report—which will give an upto-date snapshot of the world’s biggest economy—due on Friday. The advance in New York, which was mirrored in Europe, flowed through to most of Asia. Shanghai, Sydney, Seoul, Singapore, Wellington, Taipei, Mumbai, Bangkok and Jakarta were all up, though

Workers check the water quality at the Fredrikstad Seafoods land-based salmon farm in Fredrikstad, Norway on June 10, 2021. Onshore salmon farming makes it possible to move producers closer to consumers and help the industry get rid of many of the issues it has been criticized for. AFP

Norway salmon farming moves to cleaner waters: indoors By Pierre-Henry Deshayes with Nicolas Gubert in Paris FREDRIKSTAD, Norway—Hundreds of thousands of salmon swim against the current in southeast Norway—in massive indoor tanks away from the nearest river as the controversial industry increasingly embraces greener land-based facilities. The fish live in two gigantic pools inside an inconspicuous industrial building in Fredrikstad owned by a company that plans to raise salmon in similar settings even further afield, in the United States. By raising the salmon on land, the industry is attempting to move away from the river or sea cages that have invited criticism over a slew of issues. The problems run from costly mass escapes to fish infected with sea lice treated with chemicals to mounds of feces and feed piling up on the seabed below the farms. “At sea, you depend on the almighty for many

things. In a land-based farm, we are suddenly the all-powerful one,” Fredrikstad Seafoods general manager Roger Fredriksen told AFP. “Here we control everything: temperature, oxygen, pH, CO2,” he said as he gave a tour of Norway’s first land-based salmon farm, opened in 2019. Pumped from the nearby mouth of Norway’s largest river, the salt water that feeds the facility is treated with UV light to eliminate viruses and bacteria and afterwards it is cycled and filtered through a loop for repeated use. Under a faint blue light, designed to trigger their appetite, the salmon swim day and night as they are fed food pellets from an overhead dispenser. When they reach between four and five kilograms (nine and 11 pounds), they are harvested. “The fish have a very firm consistency,” said veterinarian Sandra Ledang, head of production at the adjacent abattoir. “That’s because it swims against the cur-

rent all its life, from the moment it arrives in our facilities until it is slaughtered. It exercises absolutely every day,” she added. As populations are expected to increase, with almost 10 billion mouths to feed by 2050, food production needs to be optimized. While salmon, which is rich in protein, is still a luxury in many places, it is finding new customers among the growing middle class, particularly in Asia. Made in China salmon Matthias Halwart, a senior officer in the fisheries department of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), sees clear benefits to recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), like those tested in Norway. “You have fully controlled environment for the fish, a very low water use, a very good disease control, a very efficient land use, you can optimize your feeding strategies and you can have a very good proximity with the market,” Halwart tells AFP.

Hong Kong and Tokyo were down. There was little movement in response to data out of China showing growth in the country’s manufacturing sector inched down marginally but officials warned over supply shortages of chips and commodities. Still, while the broad outlook is upbeat, traders are keeping an eye on the spread of the more transmissible Delta variant, which began in India and is sending infection rates soaring, forcing some governments—from Australia and Asia to Europe and South America—to impose new lockdowns.

China bubble tea firm makes debut in $650-m public offer HONG KONG, China—Chinese bubble tea chain Nayuki edged down on its Hong Kong market debut Wednesday after raising more than US$650 million in an IPO that marked the culmination of a literal labor of love for the co-owners who created the firm on a blind date. The company joins a handful of bubble tea outlets to go public in recent years as the beverage—which comes loaded with milk, sugar and tapioca pearls—storms out from its Asian fanbase to gain a global following. It also makes it the latest Chinese business to list in Hong Kong, even as a series of tepid performances by new companies spark concerns about the city’s IPO market. Targeting well-heeled young consumers, the 550-store chain opened its first outlet in the southern metropolis of Shenzhen in 2015. Entrepreneur Peng Xin reportedly pitched her business idea to Zhao Lin—a professional in the food industry—over a blind date two years earlier. Within months, the pair married and became business partners. “After we met, I enthusiastically told him about my entrepreneurial dream for two to three hours and asked, ‘Mr Zhao, what do you think of my idea?’,” Peng said, according to Chinese news site Jiemian in 2018. “He said, ‘I think your idea is very good. If you want to get it off the ground more quickly, you could go out with me and we could start a business together’. Manila a year later we got married and a year after, we opened “Half Standard Nayuki.” TODAY Their brand prides itself on innovative drinks, fresh ingredients and a cool cafe decor to set it apart in China’s crowded bubble tea environment. Shares in the firm fell to HK$18.86 from their listing price of HK$19.80. The company had sold 257.3 million shares, raising US$656 million and valuing it at US$4.38 billion, according to Bloomberg News. AFP

PH telecom sector making big strides amid the pandemic THE telecom sector in the Philippines is zooming just in the right time. From its fledgling state a few years back, the telecommunications industry has become vibrant, competitive and fast-evolving. The telecom progress is one of the unheralded accomplishments of the government. President Rodrigo Duterte’s hands-on approach in solving the problems of the sector has righted the ship. Internet usage in the Philippines has surged by as much as 500 percent since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of factors have contributed to the sector’s quick turnaround. For starters, President Duterte allowed a third major telco player to compete with dominant players Globe Telecom Inc. and Smart Communications Inc., and ordered local government units in July last year to speed up the release of permits related to the rollout of infrastructure. Following the directive, a total of 1,636 permits were issued for DITO, Globe and Smart in 2019, and 6,451 permits the following year. The National Telecommunications Commission reported that from January to April 2021, 2,789 permits have already been issued to telcos. The increase in permits resulted in more towers built. Telecom companies in 2019 built 1,746 towers and by 2020, a total of 4,337 towers were constructed, or up 148 percent. The NTC said telcos have built 1,672 towers as of April this year. The Philippines now 24,614 cellular towers to date. Globe accounted for 10,941 towers, while Smart built 10,433. DITO has erected 3,240 towers. Telcos continue to invest heavily on their fiber optic network with a total of 846,323 cable-kilometers already laid out across the Philippines to date, up 16.5 percent from 726,705 cable-kilometers completed at the

end of 2020. Smart has the widest network with 497,700 cable-kilometers of fiber optic built. Converge ICT Solutions Inc. laid out 260,030 cable-kilometers while Globe has 72,573 cable-kilometers and DITO with 16,020 cable-kilometers. Converge’s emergence as major service provider has heightened competition in the industry. It disrupted the duopoly when it offered its pure fiber internet service that is faster and more affordable. Amid the pandemic, it was able to more than double its fiber backbone and nearly double its subscriber base. Converge aims to reach 55 percent of Philippine households by 2025. As of endMarch, its end-to-end fiber network already passed 7.1 million homes, or around 35 percent of the population, as it recently connected Visayas and Mindanao to its national fiber backbone. With all these developments, Ookla (the global leader in mobile and broadband network intelligence) said Philippine fixed broadband speed now ranks 65th out of 180 countries, while ranking 77th out of 137 countries in mobile. The steep climb in rankings is phenomenal. The country’s average download speeds for fixed broadband only last November 2020 ranked 103rd and 110th for mobile globally. Out of 50 countries in Asia, the country’s internet speed now placed 17th for fixed broadband and 23rd for mobile. In AsiaPacific, the Philippines ranked 14th for fixed broadband and 12th for mobile out of 46 countries. The Philippines is now in the middle of the pack in ASEAN, ranking 5th in both fixed broadband and mobile out of 10 countries. Ookla’s report on the latest fixed broadband download speed represent

a big improvement of 642.50 percent since the Duterte administration came in in July 2016. Meanwhile, the latest mobile speed represents an improvement of 329.70 percent during the same timeframe. The fast-tracking of telco infrastructure rollout, meanwhile, is expected to continue as more LGUs comply with President Duterte’s directive. The NTC, PLDT Inc. Globe, Converge and DITO also welcomed the Department of Public Works and Highways’ initiative to allow telecommunication companies to occupy a portion of the government’s right of way (ROW) as part of the government’s thrust to ensure internet connectivity throughout the country. The new DPWH directive will help speed up implementation of telco infrastructure projects, especially along national roads. In a world where digitization is being sped up to meet the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the country’s significant improvement in providing better telco and internet services may just be the administration greatest achievement. The next president should sustain the gains of the administration until that time when Philippine telcos finally belong to the elite group of internet providers in the world.

DOTR taps DBP to finance RORO, shipbuilding hub By Darwin G. Amojelar THE Department of Transportation said Wednesday it will construct shipbuilding and roll-on roll-off facilities in Batangas province before the end of the Duterte administration. “We are in favor of building a shipbuilding facility here, and we are working with the Development Bank of the Philippines for the financing of the project,” Transportation Secretary Art Tugade said during the inauguration of the upgraded and rehabilitated Port of Talaga in Mabini, Batangas. Tugade said the shipbuilding facility would generate more jobs and boost the local economy of Batangas. He said the agency would start building a RORO facility at the Port of Talaga by August or September this year. “We expect the RORO facility to be completed in a period of six months from August or September,” Tugade said. The facility will benefit the passengers and improve the domestic trade in Batangas, he said. Tugade, along with Philippine Ports Authority general manager Jay Santiago, inaugurated the rehabilitated and upgraded Port of Talaga in Mabini, Batangas. Among the completed rehabilitation works at the port are the construction of a back-up area, the construction of a port operations building and the installation of a lighting system. Additional employment is also expected to be generated with the opening of more business and tourism opportunities with the port’s start of operations. The Talaga Port is one of 14 completed social tourism and commercial projects in Batangas. Ongoing are improvement works at Subukin Port in San Juan.

Pilipinas Shell launches Batangas import terminal P By Alena Mae S. Flores

ILIPINAS Shell Petroleum Corp. on Wednesday inaugurated its world-class import terminal in Tabangao, Batangas, enhancing its capacity to meet fuel demand not just in Metro Manila but also in Southern Luzon and Northern Visayas. Pilipinas Shell decided last year to convert its 110,000-barrel-per-day refinery into an import terminal on economic reasons brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. “From tough decisions come positive results. The transformation of our refinery into a world-class import facility demonstrates Shell’s commitment to provide sustainable energy to the Philippines despite the challenging conditions posed by the pandemic. We are now better positioned, operationally and financially, to serve the country’s

energy needs as the economy reopens with the lifting of restrictions,” said Pilipinas Shell president and chief executive Cesar Romero. The Shell Import Facility in Tabangao also known as SHIFT marks two major pivots in Pilipinas Shell’s morethan-a-century history in the Philippines. These are the transformation of the refinery into a world class terminal and the shift in its approach to a world coping with COVID-19 from effective, real-time response to recovery, according to the company.

Rockwell Land registered P1.2-b net profit in first half, ready to launch more projects By Jenniffer B. Austria ROCKWELL Land Corp. said Wednesday it posted a net income of P1.2 billion in the first half, exceeding last year’s full year profit of P1.08 billion, as it remains aggressive with project expansion despite the pandemic. Rockwell Land said during the annual stockholders’ meeting it would launch two new flagship projects in Pampanga province and Bacolod City. Rockwell Center Nepo, Angeles is an P8.5-billion mixed-use development in joint venture with the Nepomuceno family. The project will feature four mid-rise residential buildings and a Power Plant mall. “We are excited to be part of the skyline of Angeles, Pampanga. Once the project is completed, the community will feature four mid-rise residential buildings and its very own Power Plant Mall,” Rockwell Land president and chief executive Nestor Padilla said.

The project plans to launch its first residential building this month. Rockwell is also expanding its presence in the Visayas with the launch of Rockwell Center Bacolod, a 30-hectare development which is twice the size of the first Rockwell Center in Makati. The property will be developed as a mixed-use community with commercial centers, residential spaces and lifestyle and leisure areas. The first phase consisting of commercial lots is scheduled to be launched by year-end and is expected to bring in P1.4 billion in revenues. Other residential launches slated for the year are the expansion of projects in Cebu, Batangas, Quezon City and Makati. Rockwell executive vice president and chief finance officer Ellen Almondiel said the residential launches this year would have total sales value of P21 billion.

KULTURA’S PITCH.

Kultura, a one-stop shop for home decor, food and fashion, encourages Filipinos to use Philippinemade products in their everyday lives. Its ‘Support Local Campaign’ reinforces Kultura’s long-standing partnership with micro, small and medium enterprises. Kultura, through its long-standing partnership with MSMEs, has provided livelihood opportunities to more than 100 crafters and artisans all over the country. Kultura started as the Philippines craft section at SM Department Store (now known as The SM Store) and has evolved into a full-fledged brand championing local MSMEs.

Romero said the structural transformation of the Tabangao refinery also “bolstered Pilipinas Shell with a more balanced and competitive marketing portfolio, supported by the organization’s robust supply chain.” “It helped lead into a positive trajectory for Pilipinas Shell despite the pandemic, as we posted a net income of P1 billion for the first quarter of 2021; this figure was a strong rebound from our P5.5-billion loss in the same period last year,” he said. Energy Secretary Alfonso, in his message, spoke of how the energy company turned a challenge into strength. “In May 2020, I was informed of the Tabangao shutdown which later led to its permanent shutdown in August. Despite this, Pilipinas Shell proved its resilience in its quick decision to transform the refinery into a world-class import terminal. A business call that would ensure continued fuel supply while enhancing the revenues and supply performances,” Cusi said.

Nicotine delivery technology seen to save smokers A GLOBAL health expert said the transformation of the tobacco industry and the rise of alternative nicotine products offer an opportunity to save up to 4 million smokers annually. “We are truly facing a revolution in nicotine technology. Thanks to massive investments in research and patents being fathered, the ramifications of this intellectual property are being felt in the real world. Already, a hundred million people are using harm reduction products and projections suggest that if these tools were more widely available, we would be able to cut the long-term trends of deaths by maybe between 3 and 4 million, if we acted more vigorously,” Dr. Derek Yach said during the 8th Global Forum on Nicotine on June 18, 2021. Yach, president of the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World, shared his insights as a speaker in the Michael Russell keynote titled “Why has the WHO FCTC failed to reduce adult smoking and its health impact?” The session was hosted by Prof. Gerry Stimson, with tobacco policy expert Cliff Douglas as the responder. Yach noted the transformation of the tobacco industry from one that denied the damage caused by smoking on health in 1954 to its “pharmaceuticalization” today, supported by research and science. He said, however, that despite such changes made possible by investment in innovation, policy has lost touch with science. “Industry has created tools that have the potential to create one of the most profound public health shifts in history,” he said. “In short, the present technological revolution demands an accompanying ideological revolution. Currently, many in tobacco control are skeptical, even hostile towards the contributions of industry. The origins of this hostility are not terribly difficult to identify... For generations, the tobacco industry has created products that have killed millions of people,” said Yach.

BSP sees June inflation easing to 4.3% on more supply of food By Julito G. Rada BANGKO Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Benjamin Diokno said Wednesday inflation likely slowed to 4.3 percent in June from 4.5 percent in May, on lower prices and better supply of food and agricultural products. “[The] point inflation projection for June 2021 is 4.3 percent,” Diokno told reporters in a mobile message. “The BSP projects June 2021 inflation to settle within the 3.9 to 4.7 percent range. Higher prices of domestic petroleum products along with the upward adjustment in Meralco electricity rates and a slightly weaker peso are the main sources of upward price pressures for the month,” Diokno said. These could be partially offset by the decline in prices of key food items such as rice, meat and fruits on improved supply. Diokno said the BSP would continue to monitor emerging price developments to ensure that its primary mandates of price stability conducive to balanced and sustainable economic growth is achieved. The government is scheduled to release the June inflation report next week. Inflation averaged 4.5 percent in the first five months, higher than the target range of 2 percent to 4 percent for 2021. Inflation in May remained at 4.5 percent for the third straight month. Fitch Solutions, a unit of Fitch Group, said earlier the moderation in inflation rate might compel the BSP to keep its policy rate on hold at a recordlow of 2 percent before hiking it by 50 basis points by the end of 2022. “We expect the surge in inflation to prove temporary on the back of a moderation in energy and food prices, as well as spare capacity within the Philippine economy over the coming quarters,” Fitch Solutions said in a report Monday.

ERC amends WESM preemptive measure THE Energy Regulatory Commission said Wednesday it is amending the pre-emptive mitigating measure in the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market, the trading floor of electricity, to increase consumer safety nets and prevent price shocks. The ERC adopted in 2017 the pre-emptive mitigating measure in the WESM considering the highly volatile nature of the spot market and the possibility of market power abuse in order to ensure consumer protection. “The commission is cognizant of the country’s need for additional capacity which will come from new investments. Nonetheless, we also need to implement mitigating measures such as the secondary price cap in consideration of the paying capacity of the majority of the consuming public in pursuance of our mandate to exert efforts to minimize price shocks for the protection of consumers”, ERC chairperson Agnes Devanadera said in a statement. The SPC allows the market operator to cap the prices in the market at P6.245 per kilowatthour as a protection for the consumers from possible price spikes. Alena Mae S. Flores

ECCP forum tackles universal health care EXPERTS discussed how universal health care plays a role in the country’s economy and overall health system in a virtual forum organized by the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines. The Universal Health Care Act, or Republic Act No. 11223, was passed into law in February 2019, which, according to Health Undersecretary Mario Villaverde, “aims to ensure that all Filipinos have equitable access to quality and affordable goods and services, and are protected against financial risk of health services.“ Underscoring the importance of the UHC Law, ECCP vice president Dr. Amal Makhloufi said healthcare is a worthy investment, and that stakeholders should come up with innovative ideas and strengthen collaborations towards improving health services. She said “all Filipinos must be able to have access to quality care and treatment, no matter their economic standing. It should be a sustainable system that ensures continued support from the health sector.”

Final farewell? Heartbroken Serena quits Wimby in tears LONDON— American legend Serena Williams’s dreams of winning an eighth Wimbledon singles title and equalling Margaret Court’s Grand Slam record of 24 ended in tears on Tuesday as further doubt was cast on her future in the sport. The 39-year-old was leading 3-1 in the first set of her first round match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus when she slipped and injured her right leg. Williams returned from receiving medical attention but called it a day at 3-3 and walked off Centre Court in tears. “I was heartbroken to have to withdraw today after injuring my right leg,” she said in a statement posted late evening on her Instagram account. Perhaps tellingly, she waved to all four sides of the court as she left. However, she gave no indication in the statement of how serious the injury was nor about her future. It is the first time that Williams has bowed out in the opening round of Wimbledon in 20 appearances. She had only once previously lost in the first round at any Slam, in the 2012 French Open. The tears said it all as with the withdrawals of 2019 champion Simona Halep and of Naomi Osaka prior to the tournament the American would have fancied her chances of at last equalling the controversial Court’s landmark. “Brutal for @serenawilliams but centre court is extremely slippy out there. Not easy to move out there,” tweeted British star Andy Murray. Wimbledon’s 2019 star Coco Gauff said she could not look as the player who inspired her to take up tennis wept as she left the stage. “I turned away,” said 17-year-old Gauff after beating British wildcard Francesca Jones in her first round match. “I was in the gym actually stretching. I turned away because stuff like that makes me, like, really emotional.” ‘Oh my God’ Gauff, who in 2019 as a qualifier beat Serena Williams’s elder sister Venus on her way to the last 16, said she hoped the injury was not too severe. “I wish that hopefully she can have a speedy recovery,” said Gauff. “Yeah, you could tell she was really emotional. “Nobody ever wants to retire, but especially at a Grand Slam, a place as special as Wimbledon after waiting two years to come back (it was cancelled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic).” Williams, who also had strapping on her right thigh, hasn’t won a Slam since the 2017 Australian Open losing in four finals, twice at Wimbledon and two at the US Open. Sasnovich said she felt for her “a great champion, and it’s a sad story.” “It was very slippery, I felt, as well. “When she did the angled shot, I couldn’t run because it was so slippery. AFP

“We reached out to the POC and the PSC, only to find out that they did not have the information. That was a eureka moment for us.

Now that the website has been finished, it now contains the profile and stories of 416 athletes, including 410 who have gone to the Summer Olympics and six who were in the Winter and Youth Olympics. It will soon get updated following the confirmed qualification of 17 Filipino athletes to the Tokyo Olympics. “This is something we need.

Pacio stays ready, excited to defend title HUNGRY is an understatement for Joshua “The Passion” Pacio as the reigning ONE Strawweight World Champion has been on the shelf for more than a year now. “I’m more than thrilled to get back inside the circle as it’s more than a year since my last bout,” he said. The last time Pacio stepped on the cage was in January 2020 in the main event of ONE: Fire & Fury when he edged Alex Silva via split decision to successfully retain his belt. It’s the longest lull for the 25-year-old who has been one of the most active fighters out of the legendary Team Lakay over the past few years. But that’s just the way it is in these extraordinary times, with the global COVID-19 pandemic putting everything to a halt. Nonetheless, Pacio isn’t letting this setback sideline him for good as he does his due diligence in keeping himself in shape and training his hardest in the confines of the Team Lakay Gym in Baguio. “It’s been tough for all of us because of this pandemic. But we’re not just a cage warrior, we’re also warriors in life. We have to deal with this and move forward,” he said. “We have been finding ways to train amidst the restricted movements we have now. We’ve already got back in the gym and we’re already doing what we are passionate about -- a lot of drills, repetitions, and learning new techniques in MMA.” That kind of fortitude is what’s expected of Pacio, who has

Just when I thought THE BOTTOM LINE LITO CINCO STILL on the ongoing NBA Conference Finals between Atlanta and Milwaukee in the East, and Phoenix and Los Angeles in the West (the C side not the L), it’s funny how things in real life can disappoint us. Though when it comes to games prediction, I should be more used to disappointments than joy with my record.

Look at the Suns-Clippers series. The Suns, the team I picked to win in the absence of Kawhi Leonard, seemed all set to march to their 3rd finals’ appearance in team history with the return of Chris Paul. The first one was in 1976, but they lost to the Celtics, 4-2. The second time was in 1993, behind Charles Barkley and Steve Nash, but again, lost, this time to the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls. But the strange truth is Phoenix is the 2nd most successful franchise never to win an NBA title behind Utah. This is based on percentage of win-loss games at 53%, with 29 times reaching the playoffs and nine times reaching

reigned atop the strawweight division since April 2019. After all, the field has just gotten stronger over the past few years. Among the top contenders in the weight class include former ONE Strawweight World Champion Yosuke “The Ninja” Saruta, who is currently the no. 1-ranked contender. Not far behind are no. 2 and former titleholder Yoshitaka “Nobita” Naito of Japan, no. 3 Bokang “Little Giant” Matsunyane of South Africa, no. 4 Hiroba Minowa of Japan, and no. 5 Alex Silva of Brazil. “The strawweight division is very stacked right now with the finest strawweight athletes in the world,” said Pacio. “I watch their bouts and I continue to learn them and from them. I know for sure that I need to continuously level up because I can’t stay idle. But that’s a challenge I’m enjoying.” Pacio, though, has his eyes set on one guy only: Saruta, who he feels has unfinished business with him. The two fighters hold one win each over each other: with Saruta taking their first clash via a split decision win at ONE: Eternal Glory in January 2019, while Pacio reclaimed his crown with a fourth round knockout victory at ONE: Roots of Honor that April. “A trilogy with Saruta would be great, but it really depends with ONE Championship if who will be my next challenger,” he said. As Pacio awaits for that next call, all his focus lies on improving his all-around game as he makes the most of this opportunity to better himself.

the Western Conference Finals. Their opponent, however, at one time, was branded the worst franchise in sports history in a Sports Illustrated story in 2001, with no league or conference title won up to that time until they won the division titles in 2013 and 2014, but lost the past three years in the playoffs. This team is one of the oldest, starting out as the Buffalo Braves in 1970, becoming the San Diego Clippers in 1977, before the present Los Angeles Clippers beginning 1984. Now before you start thinking, this guy knows his basketball, allow me to disagree with you, I simply did a little online research. This was the time I realized we were looking at a second best winning team for all its games going up against a team

that earned the worst franchise as judged by basketball fans, almost the Alpha and the Omega. And as mentioned, Phoenix only needed one victory against Los Angeles, with its 3-1 record, only to succumb to the never-say-die Clippers, starring only half of their All-Star duo as Paul George rose to the occasion in Game 5. Now, the record is 3-2, still in favor of Phoenix though. So why am I disappointed? I was pretty sure without Kawhi, the Suns, with Paul back in harness, can beat the Clippers, but as of this writing, the series is still a series, unless the Suns make me look like an expert by winning it and advancing to the finals. *** For an update on our Ayuda Sa Atle-

FIVE Filipino athletes have qualified to the 2020 Tokyo Paralmpic Games. The Philippine Paralympic Committee confirmed this yesterday after swimmer Gary Bejino got the nod of the World Para Swimming. “We are happy to get great news that para athlete swimmer Gary (Bejino) has earned a slot at the Tokyo Paralympics bringing the present total to five,” said PPC president Michael Barredo. Bejino’s arm and leg had to be amputated at age seven after he sustained an electric shock in an accident. He joins right arm amputee Allain Ganapin (taekwondo), Jerold Magliwan amd Janette Acevedo (athletics) and Ernie Gawilan (swimming) to the games. “Hopefully Team Philippines can garner a few more to increase our chances of getting medals at the Games,” added Barredo. The Paralympic Movement offers sport opportunities for athletes with physical, vision and/or intellectual impairments that have at least one of the following 10 eligible impairments: Impaired muscle power, Impaired passive range of movement, Limb deficiency, Leg length difference, Short stature, Muscle tension, Uncoordinated movement, Involuntary movements, Vision impairment, Intellectual Impairment.

ta sa Campaign for our national athletes, we encountered problems with storage for donations in kind from Gatorade, Alaska, and Milo. We just recently rented for a month an apartment in Muntinlupa, belonging to the grandmother of blind para-athletes, Jerome and Joshua Nelmuda, with their mom, Annete volunteering to help out in repacking the goods. We are hoping by next week, we can start distributing the ayuda packs through either delivery or pick up in Muntinlupa or from my house in Taguig, while Tom Carrasco and Alex Wang have volunteered to help deliver some.

The financing of the multiyear CAPEX plan will be sourced through the Reinvestment Fund for Sustainable CAPEX (RFSC) of the cooperative and availment of loan from NEA at 8% interest rate per annum for a period of fifteen (15) years.

11. Evidences1 that wall substantiate the allegations and data are likewise attached hereto and respectively marked as ANNEXES.

In view of this plan of the cooperative to avail loan for the financing of the proposed project, it is likewise prayed that the ERC will grant the cooperative the Authority to Secure Loan to minimize the possible effect on the existing RFSC rate upon project implementation and to give the cooperative flexibility in managing its finances.

12. Public interest and necessity requires the immediate implementation, without delay, or subject CAPEX Projects in order to ensure continuous, safe and reliable electric service, and compliance with safety and performance standards of its distribution system. Moreover, the immediate implementation of these projects will avert possible emergency situations and at the same time, address the forecasted growth in the electricity demand of its member-consumers;

Nevertheless, ISELCO II will still thrive to look for financial institution that can provide the least financing plan for the benefit of the consumers. INDICATIVE RATE IMPACT OF THE PROJECT Below are the possible effects on the existing RFSC rate (PhP0.3696/kWh) of ISELCO II upon completion of the project with the consideration if no loan will be availed and the proposed financing plan will be pursued.

A sound choice

Any work-from-home setup could use a good pair of headphones By Bernadette Lunas

ERE’S the thing I miss about working in a traditional office set-up: no household noise. Save for the usual chatter and footsteps here and there, people, aware that they were in a place of work, kept the noise to a minimum.

And should the noise be a little too loud or somehow intolerable, you could either ask the source nicely to turn it down or find a quieter spot. That, unfortunately, is not the case for many who are working from home – some noise are unavoidable (e.g. sound of cars), the sources cannot be simply asked to be quiet or mindful of those working

(e.g. your neighbor or neighbor’s kids or neighbor’s pets), and finding a quieter spot is limited to your living space because, hey, there’s still a pandemic and staying in is strongly advised. When the going gets tough, the tough gets a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Speakers and headphones brand JBL celling (ANC) feature in its Live Pro+ packs a truly useful adaptive noise can- TWS earbuds, accessible through the JBL Headphones app and the buds once set up. Launched in April this year, JBL Live Pro+ TWS is ideal for those lookWork in peace with the help of ing for wireless earbuds that pack the noise-cancelling headphones sound and the no-sound. The pair lets wearers reduce distractions – from the noise and the heft of big noise-cancelling headphones – with the ANC turned on with or without music. Do note that the ANC slightly affects the audio playback, which, in my opinion, is a small tradeoff for holding off both low and high frequency sounds. Turn the ANC on without audio, and you get a decent pair of noise-cancelling earplugs. The noise-cancelling feature comes in three modes: everyday, travel, and active. It also helps that the JBL Live Pro+ TWS has five pairs of ear tips in different sizes (with shallow and deep options), allowing the users to test, using the JBL app, which pair provides the best fit. On the other side of its audio sensory features is Smart Ambient, which, when turned on, sharpens the sound of the surroundings, letting the wearer listen

WIRELESS WONDERS. JBL’s latest audio lineup consists of sport and lifestyle headphones and earbuds, including (clockwise) Tune 225 TWS earbuds, Live Pro+ TWS earbuds, Endurance Peak II wireless headphones, Tune 660NC on-ear headphones, and Tune 510BT on-ear headphones. to the world around without removing the earbuds. The app also has an equalizer (EQ) with three presets (vocal, jazz, bass) and one for a customized preset. Utilizing this feature helps offset any alterations the ANC and Smart Ambient may have caused to the audio’s lows, mids, and highs. Live Pro+ TWS also boasts a “noise and wind isolation technology and beamforming mics” that promise to convey a clear voice to the other end, “giving you the feeling of a live conversation”. I haven’t had a problem with calls, although I did experience audio drops while listening to music in the same place; no distance was added nor obstructions got in the way when they happened. The earbuds also connect fast via Bluetooth and Google-enabled Fast Pair, the latter allows the headphones to connect to an Android device. To access commands (playback control, Ambient Sound control, volume, and voice assistant) simply set them up on the app and tap the earbuds. Call controls, meanwhile, are always accessible when receiving a call. Google Assistant and

Alexa are supported. Access the Find My Buds feature on the app. All these features are powered by a seven-hour battery life (with ANC off; six hours when it’s on). The Qi-compatible wireless charging case provides three additional charges, thus bringing the total playback hours to 28. All these features come at a reasonable P9,199. Live Pro+ TWS is part of JBL’s latest releases it introduced in the country in June along with its newest ambassador Nadine Lustre. “JBL has built a legacy of ensuring consumers enjoy their sound. Nadine embodies the values of JBL,” Larry Secreto, country head at Harman International, said during a virtual event. Part of JBL’s new lineup are Reflect Mini NC TWS in-ear sport headphones, Endurance Peak II wireless headphones, UA True Wireless Streak, Live 460NC on-ear headphones, Live 660NC overear headphones, Tune 510BT on-ear headphones, Tune 660NC Noise Cancelling on-ear headphones, Live Free NC+ TWS in-ear headphones, Tune 225 TWS earbuds, and Tune 115 TWS inear headphones.

MORE time spent at home plus online groups and social media have driven the popularity of do-it-yourself (DIY) home improvement projects. When asked to stay in, Filipinos, apparently, like to make sure they like the place they’re staying in. Filipino decorator Elle Uy, known for budget decorating tips she shares on her YouTube channel, has inspired many Filipinos to decorate their spaces without breaking the bank. Ariane Lucencio, a member of an Elle Uy-inspired group, told Manila Standard that most of the items they used for their DIY projects at home came from scrap or recycled materials. Lucencio usually goes to a wood shop to buy scrap wood at P45 a kilo, which her husband will then repair and turn into usable furniture. Using the wood scraps and with the help of designs shared by Uy online, the DIYer couple already has a dining table, a rack, and a few macrame décor. “These are great avenues for home decorators like me or even those who just want a tidy, clean living space. It makes you realize that a house doesn’t have to be that big to look nice. And that you can do something beautiful without spending a fortune,” shared Lucencio. Pinterest and online communities like Home Buddies and Tipid Living on Facebook have become a treasure trove of home improvement ideas for DIYers both young and old, like students Patri-

mechanism – organizing and moving things around whenever she feels it is messy. Before she makes a purchase, she goes to TikTok and YouTube to watch room décor haul videos. She then scours Facebook Marketplace for affordable finds as, according to her, the platform carries many options at cheaper prices.
