HE Philippines may close its borders again to prevent foreigners from spreading the more transmissible Lambda coronavirus variant, President Rodrigo Duterte said Tuesday night. “One of the most effective methods of controlling contamination entering our shores could really be border controls,” Duterte said in his weekly meeting with Cabinet members, after reports said the new strain of COVID-19, which might be deadlier than the Delta variant, was detected in the UK. Health Secretary Francisco Duque III concurred with the President that borders should be closed if there is a breakout of the Lambda variant, which was first detected in Peru, and which has spread rapidly in South America, where it accounts for 80 percent of new cases. But Duque also said the Philippines has been effective in preventing the entry of new variants such as the Delta variant. While there are 19 cases of the Delta variant, these are all from Filipinos traveling home from overseas, and there is no evidence of a local case, he said. “We have been effective in preventing the introduction of the Delta variant into households and into communities and we hope to keep it that way,” Duque said.

Travellers must undergo swab testing—DOH By Willie Casas and Joel Zurbano THE Department of Health (DOH) said Wednesday tourists must present a negative COVID-19 test result when traveling to the other provinces because local government unit leaders needed to finalize a new policy, which would allow fully-vaccinated individuals to travel without the swab tests. The national government earlier said it was no longer required for tourists who received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines to present negative COVID-19 tests in provincial borders. However, several local government leaders raised concerns that it would

COVID-19 restrictions will not be lifted until at least 50 percent of the population has been vaccinated, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said Wednesday. “We also want the restrictions lifted since these have been affecting the jobs of our people, but we have to trust the doctors and the experts of the best way to address the virus,” Lorenzana said. “Until we vaccinate 50 percent of our population, we will have restrictions, although not at the strictest level but at a level that will prevent the spread of the virus,” he added. The Philippines has vaccinated 12 million people so far, but fewer than half of these have received the needed second dose.

Panelo tapped to debunk Trillanes’ raps By Macon Ramos-Araneta

RESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has instructed Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo to take action on former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV’s latest plunder allegations against him. Unfazed by the fresh corruption claim hurled against him, Duterte said Trillanes was just “all talk.” “I leave Trillanes to you. It’s up to you what you want to do with him. He’s all talk but could not even fight in a debate,” he told Panelo in a pre-recorded public address aired early Wednesday. Duterte made the instruction after Panelo slammed Trillanes’ “rehashed” claim that Duterte and his former longtime aide, Senator Christopher Go, used their influence to corner about P6.6 billion worth of government infrastructure projects.

“He continues to spread lies and it appears that he has no plan to stop until he becomes ill for making up lies,” Panelo said. Trillanes, in a statement, said Duterte would not get away with the alleged P6.6 billion plunder he supposedly committed as the Commission on Audit documents could show that several contracts were given to the family of Go. “They cannot just fool people on this case. It is clear from the COA documents that Duterte gave the family of Bong Go 184 projects amounting to P6.6 billion. That is plunder,” Trillanes said. There was no immediately available

be difficult for them to validate vaccination cards. “Before that, our previous resolution was that we had testing ... For now, we will go back there until we get it right, after meeting, if necessary, amend this Resolution Number 124-B),” Health Secretary Francisco Duque III told ABS-CBN’s TeleRadyo. The leaders of the Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP) and the League of Provinces of the Philippines would be invited to a meeting today to discuss the issue, said Duque. “There’s a problem because in the implementation, there are operational challenges or difficulties. So, we need to iron this out,” he said. Local government leaders will have to sit down to discuss how they plan to verify the authenticity of vaccination cards that need to be presented at borders in lieu of a negative COVID-19 test, he said. “Our system today is like ‘in good faith’ at the moment, to recognize the vaccination card...If you make a fake card, this is a public document... you can be charged,” he said. The Department of Science and Technology is also working on the country’s “vaccine management information system” that would integrate data on vaccinated individuals in the Philippines, Duque said. “We need to develop the system first...We are first preparing this for an alignment if there will be an international certification process. Including those coming from abroad, there will be sharing of databases,” he said.

On Wednesday, the government’s pandemic response task force said it would look into the possible inclusion of travelers from Indonesia and Malaysia to those banned from entering the country to contain the spread of the Delta variant that was first detected in India. Duque said the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases will meet on Thursday to discuss expanding the travel ban that currently covers seven countries. “Indonesia and I think also Malaysia (may be included) because of the proximity of the said countries to the southern parts of the Philippines and the porousness of the borders,” Duque said to CNN Philippines. The Philippines logged 4,289 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, bringing the total number of infections to 1,450,110. There were 164 new fatalities, bringing the COVID-19 death toll to 25,459. The DOH also reported 6,399 persons who recently recovered, bringing the total recoveries to 1,377,132. Active cases dropped to 47,519, the lowest since May 26. In March and April, the Philippines closed its borders and implemented strict quarantine measures to stop the surge of COVID-19 cases in the country. During a briefing for the President, Duque said the Beta variant of the coronavirus first detected in South Africa is the most common found in the Philippines, accounting for 21.11 percent of all cases nationwide. This was followed by the Alpha variant (United Kingdom lineage) which accounts for 18.53 percent of cases nationwide, Duque said. The detection of variants of concern in the provinces of Bohol and Negros Oriental “may explain sudden case increases in these areas,” a DOH report

Red Cross warning

The Philippine Red Cross has warned against easing protocols for fully-vaccinated individuals, as they pushed for testing requirements to ensure prevention of COVID-19 transmission. “We need to continue testing to separate healthy individuals from COVID19-infected persons,” PRC chairman Richard Gordon said in a statement. “To beat this virus, we need to test regularly, isolate, and treat the affected individuals, and vaccinate, so that people can safely return to work, can now go back to school, and the faster we can open our economy,” Gordon added. Gordon gave his reaction to the recent Inter-Agency Task Force resolution, allowing interzonal travelers, who completed vaccination, to present legitimate vaccination cards instead of COVID-19 test results. To date, PRC has conducted 3,382,981 tests to detect SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. The League of Provinces of the Philippines (LPP) earlier said testing requirements must not be removed because vaccination did not guarantee that a person was 100 percent protected from the virus. Baguio City is the only local government unit so far that allows travelers to present genuine vaccination cards as an alternative to negative swab test results.

This decision is a step in the right direction towards restoring faith and confidence in our country’s judicial system,” de Venecia stressed.

comment from COA. Trillanes, in a video uploaded on YouTube, accused Duterte and Go of committing plunder over public works contracts won by construction firms owned by Go’s family in the Davao region. He said construction companies owned by Go’s family had won government projects worth as much as P6.6 billion, specifically P1.5 billion when Duterte was still Davao City mayor and P5.1 billion in the first two years of his presidency. Trillanes in 2018 sought a Senate inquiry into the possible conflict of interest in government contracts allegedly awarded to CLTG Builders and Alfrego Builders and Suppliers, firms owned by Go’s father and half-brother, in the Davao region. He revived the plunder allegations after Duterte challenged Senator Emmanuel Pacquiao to name and probe government offices accused of being

involved in corruption. Duterte said Trillanes and Pacquiao were “alike” for having the desire to “hold power.” Trillanes earlier raised the possibility of him running for president in case Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo decides not to join the 2022 presidential race. Pacquiao, who was also reportedly considering seeking the highest post in the country, earned Duterte’s ire after claiming that corruption remains rampant in government. Pacquiao named the departments of social welfare, health, energy, and environment as allegedly corrupt government offices. From Malacanang, Duterte said anomalies in the government could not be completely removed overnight but maintained that his administration made progress in curbing corruption.

presented during the briefing said. Several areas in the Visayas and Mindanao have seen a surge in the number of cases, but the Health Department said several factors contribute to this, including complacency in observing health protocols. Duque also said it is possible that the variants can create a new wave of infection, but increased mobility and poor compliance with minimum health standards can also cause spikes in cases. “We have to really implement our (Prevent-Detect-Isolate-Treat-Reintegrate) strategy plus vaccination to be able to keep our cases down and manage them while we are safely opening up the economy,” Duque said. The independent OCTA Research Group warned on Wednesday that the Delta variant’s threat to the Philippines is “so great” that it may result in another lockdown and tax the country’s supply of oxygen. The Delta variant is twice more infectious than the Alpha variant first reported in the UK, which is a COVID-19 mutation that is 60 percent more contagious than the virus’ original strain, authorities said earlier. If a person who carries the Delta variant returns home, “it is absolutely certain that person will infect everyone in the house,” OCTA Research fellow Nicanor Austriaco, a molecular biologist, said. In an interview on ANC Headstart, he said the threat could have devastating effects on the country’s health system and called on Filipinos to sacrifice. “Keep in mind that Australia had one of the strictest quarantines and the Delta variant sneaked through that 14-day mandatory quarantine,” Austriaco said. The Philippines has so far reported 19 cases of the Delta variant, the Department of Health (DOH) said Monday. India, where the Delta variant was first reported, had suffered from a lack of oxygen supply and recorded thousands of deaths.

The Delta variant also “appears to affect children at higher numbers,” Austriaco said. The 10-day quarantine for fully-vaccinated travelers entering the country is “99.9 percent effective,” he said. “One of the big question marks with quarantines is that different vaccines may have different effects on transmissibility,” he said. “There’s effective immunity where I do not get sick versus sterilizing immunity, [where] I don’t get sick and I cannot give it to you,” he said. For some vaccines, there is no available data on their effects on transmissibility, Austriaco added. In separate interviews, OCTA fellows Ranjit Rye and Austriaco said the DOH was pertaining to the health care system and not to people when it said the Philippines was at “low risk” for COVID-19. “Right now, the general situation in our hospitals is good. But this doesn’t mean that we are at low-risk, as individuals,” Rye told radio dzBB. “We will get infected with COVID-19 if we remove our masks and if we don’t follow the minimum public health standards” he said. “What the DOH is saying is if you look at the numbers, the risk of devastating surge to our health care infrastructure is quite low,” Austriaco said in an ANC interview. Rye also stressed that many areas in the country are still experiencing surges in COVID-19 infections. DOH Epidemiology Bureau director Dr. Alethea De Guzman last week said the Philippines has been classified as low-risk for COVID-19. Based on DOH data, the Philippines’ case growth rate fell to negative 9 percent during June 13 to 26 from an earlier 15 percent on May 30 to June 12. The national utilization rates of hospital and intensive care unit beds, on the other hand, were also in the safe zone at 46.51 percent and 55.24 percent, respectively.

Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) to bogus nongovernment organizations controlled by businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles. The anti-graft court granted Revilla’s demurrer to dismiss the cases against him for lack of evidence. The ruling said the cases were junked “on the ground of insufficiency of evidence against him.” “The bonds posted by accused Revilla are hereby ordered released,” the decision said. The Sandiganbayan’s First Division announced the ruling on Tuesday. Revilla was previously acquitted of plunder in 2018 after the prosecution failed to prove he pocketed PDAF funds amounting to P224.5 million. In granting Revilla’s demurrer to evidence, the anti-graft court also denied the motion of Lim-Napoles. The senator, in a statement, said “justice prevailed” after 8 years of trial. “After eight long years, nangibabaw nang tuluyan ang Iyong hustisya... The

Sandiganbayan, by granting our Demurrer to Evidence and dismissing all the charges against me, validates what we have known from the very beginning — that all the accusations against me have no basis and any leg to stand on,” said Revilla. The former actor, who won another Senate term in 2019, insisted: “I never have been involved in graft and corruption.” “This is the reason why I did not run; I did not hide; and did not evade the judicial system... The truth has come out. Now, I can move forward to serving our nation and our people even further, free of this nuisance,” he said. Revilla, along with former Senators Juan Ponce Enrile and Jinggoy Estrada, were accused of receiving kickbacks from Napoles in exchange for funneling part of their discretionary funds to bogus non-government organizations. With this development, Revilla has no more pending cases before the antigraft court.

Senator Ronald Dela Rosa agreed, likening the President to a doctor taking care of a patient. “I see the Philippines as a patient who is healing because of Doctor Duterte. Your decision to run for Vice President is very timely,” said dela Rosa. “Even if you are not the main doctor of the patient, you will be acting as assistant doctor and you will still have a huge role in the patient’s healing,” the former national police chief added.

“The way I see it, our party members are not saying it, but in their hearts, if your term as President could be extended, it would be better to extend it,” he told Duterte during the meeting televised by PTV-4 on Wednesday. “I guess that’s really not possible right now. The 2022 elections are near. I guess I can speak for everyone in that just give us the instructions and we will obey,” the Speaker added. Velasco said he is determined to push for a vice presidential bid for Duterte in 2022. “At end of the day, Mr. President, we

Haiti president fell to assassins’ bullets at home PORT-AU-PRINCE—Haiti President Jovenel Moise was assassinated, and his wife wounded early Wednesday in an attack at their home, the interim prime minister announced, an act that risks further destabilizing the Caribbean nation beset by gang violence and political volatility. Claude Joseph said he was now in charge of the country and urged the public to remain calm, while insisting the police and army would ensure the population’s safety. “The president was assassinated at his home by foreigners who spoke English and Spanish,” Joseph said of the assault that took place around 1:00 am (0500 GMT) and left the president’s wife hospitalized. Moise had ruled Haiti, the poorest country in the Americas, by decree, after legislative elections due in 2018 were delayed in the wake of disputes, including on when his own term ends. In addition to the political crisis, kidnappings for ransom have surged in recent months, reflecting the growing influence of armed gangs in the Caribbean nation. Haiti also faces chronic poverty and recurrent natural disasters. The president faced steep opposition from swathes of the population that deemed his mandate illegitimate, and he churned through a series of seven prime ministers in four years. Most recently, Joseph was supposed to be replaced this week after only three months in the post. As well as presidential, legislative, and local elections, Haiti was due to have a constitutional referendum in September after it was twice postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The United States condemned the killing as “horrific” and said it was ready to assist in any investigation.

It came a few weeks after reports of vaccination slots being peddled by some unscrupulous individuals in Mandaluyong City. “This is very alarming. We condemn these acts, and we will not allow perpetrators to go unpunished,” he said. “I order every relevant authority to investigate this matter thoroughly and press charges accordingly.”

The Philippines has fully vaccinated less than a tenth of senior citizens against COVID-19, the Department of Health (DOH) said Wednesday. Dr. Nina Castillo-Carandang, a member of the DOH National Immunization Technical Advisory Group, noted that Filipino elderly are hesitant to get inoculated due to “fake news” about vaccines. “We lack discussions and explanations. There is still a lot of misinformation and disinformation about the vaccine,” Carandang said. “Gossip spreads faster than factual and scientific information about the vaccines,” she said. Of the 8.27 million senior citizens that need to be vaccinated against COVID-19, only 736,519 or 8.90 percent have been fully inoculated against the disease, data from the DOH showed.

We just address the present agony and sorrow of the Filipino.” During the meeting with his party mates, PDP-Laban vice chairman and Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi presented the party resolution urging Duterte to run for vice president.

Skyway 3 a no-truck zone—SMC By Darwin G Amojelar

Personnel manning the toll booth at the San Miguel skyway Plaza Dilao in Manila notify motorists that they will start collecting toll on July 12.

AN Miguel Corp. on Wednesday said the 18km elevated Skyway Stage 3 will be a no-truck zone and will be dedicated to Class 1 vehicles with Autosweep RFID stickers starting July 12.

Through its Skyway O&M Corporation – operator of the Skyway system – SMC president Ramon S. Ang said the twin moves would address safety concerns on the elevated expressway, and at the same time limit the risk of a spread of variants of the COVID-19 virus--especially since the vast majority of its motorists have migrated to the Autosweep RFID electronic toll collection system. The announcement comes after Skyway 3 was issued a Toll Operating Permit and a Notice to Start Collecting Toll by the Toll Regulatory Board, after operating for free to the public for almost seven months. SMC pegged its total foregone revenues on Skyway 3 since it opened to the public for free late December 2020 at close to P3 billion. “We continue to look for ways to improve safety and user experience on our expressways, especially the new Skyway 3. We have implemented a number of measures to ensure safety, prevent over-speeding, and facilitate the more efficient flow of vehicles while still providing motorists significantly reduced travel times,” Ang said. “Limiting Skyway 3 to regular or Class 1 vehicles will also further ensure safety for all users. With more private vehicles diverted to Skyway 3, our public roads will be freed up and decongested. This will benefit, number one, our public transportation and commuters. It willb also be beneficial to transporters of goods, who can opt to use the at-grade sections of the Skyway system where tolls are lower, as well as public roads which are free, as they are subsidized by government,” Ang added. Meanwhile, regular motorists who will opt to use public roads instead of Skyway 3, are also expected to benefit from the elevated expressway, as it is capable of diverting and handling up to 200,000 vehicles per day, or half of Edsa’s daily traffic volume users since December 2020. This has significantly improved traffic on all its tollways. Mandatory cashless transaction on all expressways was implemented in compliance with the DOTr – TRB Department Order 2020-012, which was issued to mitigate the risk of Covid-19 and to improve traffic queueing at the toll plazas. Even as majority of regular users have transitioned to cashless electronic toll collection, SMC maintains free RFID sticker installation sites to ensure continuous availability and easy and convenient installation of free RFID stickers. SMC fully-funded the construction of Skyway 3 to solve the decades-long traffic problems of Metro Manila and build a seamless connection between the South Luzon and the North Luzon Expressways. It spent an estimated P80 billion to complete the project, more than double the original cost, due to numerous redesigns and realignments that were the result of contentious right-of-way issues.

Top cop scoffs at cover-up yarn on teener’s slay Pork tariff cut THE Philippine National Police on Wednesday rejected allegations of coverup in the case of 10 Laguna police officers who were charged with the recent death of a teenager. PNP chief Guillermo Eleazar said any wrongdoings by any policemen would not be tolerated. The filing of homicide charges against the accused shows no cover-up, Eleazar said. It is never the PNP’s policy to intimidate or commit abuses especially against the poor as well as cover up wrongdoings among our ranks. We are aware of these allegations but we would also want to inform the public that over 80,000 police officers have been sanctioned for the past five years and these include 5,000 who were dismissed from the service over various cases of abuse of power),”Eleazar stressed. said in a statement. He, however, noted that many police of-

ficers were killed or wounded while pursuing drug suspects in various operations. Eleazar retireated that the PNP will continue to enforce a human rights based approach in its operations against criminals. On Monday, the fact-finding Investigation task group of the Police Regional Office 4-A, led by Brig. Gen. Eliseo Cruz, filed a homicide complaint against 10 personnel of the Laguna Police Provincial Office (PPO) before the Biñan City Prosecutor’s Office over the death of 16-year-old Jhondie Helis in a June 16 police operation. The charges filed against the 10 policemen, including the head of the team of operatives from the Laguna PPO Intelligence Branch Capt. Fernando Credo, took into account the complaint-affidavit of the teenager’s mother. The police officers who opened fire

and killed Helis and drug high-value target Antonio Dalit during the operation have also been identified based on the results of the ballistics examination and the cross-matching on the slugs recovered from the bodies of the victim Meanwhile, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra on Wednesday said the investigation into the so-called March 7 “bloody massacre” in Southern Luzon provinces remains “a high priority”. “The Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Rizal and Batangas provinces) incidents remain high in the priorities of the AO 35 committee,” Guevarra said, referring to the DOJ-led Administrative Order 35 Inter-Agency Committee on Extra-Legal Killings, Enforced Disappearances, Torture and Other Grave Violations of the Right of Life, Liberty and Security of Persons.

Cayetano makes a strong pitch for creation of airport in Pangasinan By Maricel V. Cruz FORMER Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano on has proposed the establishment of the Pangasinan Airport, saying the biggest province in the North should have an airport of its own. “As a Senator, I traveled around the country many times, and sometimes,

when the destination is far, I try to fly. I remember that was a frequent question at the time: Pangasinan is the biggest province up North, so why is there not an airport in the province?“Cayetano said in his visit to the farmers of San Carlos City and sari-sari store owners of Dagupan City, Pangasinan on July 6. Cayetano was in San Carlos City to

join a listening tour with some of the rice farmers situated in Barangay Mamarlaw and to distribute 10K Ayuda to 20 farmers. He was also in Dagupan City to introduce the “Alan Sari-sari Store Community” program to 100 sari-sari store owners based in the locality. “If you remember, I said a few

months ago that now that the presidentiables are starting to talk about 2022, I am encouraging and challenging them to join in the development of a five-year economic plan because things have become repetitive. I noticed, election after election, people are proposing the same thing. Why? Because there is no plan,” he stressed.

This represents the highest number of artworks submitted since GSIS launched the art tilt in 2004. A cash prize of P300,000 was awarded to each of the top winners of the Representational and Non-Representational (Abstract) painting categories while P250,000 was given to the winner of the Sculpture category. Second and Third Place winners in all three (3) categories were granted P200,000 and

P100,000, while four Honorable Mentions in all categories received P25,000 each. The following are the winners of this year’s GSIS Art Competition: In the representational painting category, John Mhar Santos bagged the first prize for “Parcel No. 143.” Ryan Joseph Casiles and Edu Perreras won second and third prizes for “Yakapsul” and “Doble Kayod,” respectively. For the Non-Representational (Abstract) painting category, the top prize was awarded to Seifred Guilaran for “Brush Stroke Imitation” while second and third prizes went to Rick Hernandez for his “Tale of Two Variants” and Herbert Pajarito for “Look Up in the Sky.”

deprives gov’t of P1.3-b gain, senator says By Macon Araneta THE P1.3 billion in foregone revenue from imported pork tariff could have gone to fighting the African swine fever and to uplifting small farmers and small entrepreneurs of the pork industry, Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan said Wednesday. The opposition senator said the amount represented the import value of at least 76 million kilos of pork under lower tariff on both in-quota and outquota import. Executive Order 134 issued May this year charged 10 percent for the first three months and 15 percent in the succeeding nine months of imports within the minimum access volume (MAV). Those outside the MAV will be charged 20 and 25 percent, respectively, for the first three and succeeding nine months. “Until now, the price of pork is still high,P380 per kilo for liempo,” said Pangilinan, who filed Senate Bill 2176 seeking to create a Swine Competitiveness Enhancement Fund using proceeds from pork import tariffs. Pangilinan reiterated his earlier position that slashing tariff was not the best solution since it undermines the local pork industry and deprives the government of needed earnings. “What’s tragic here is when you ask around, no Filipino consumer —whether those who shop in wet markets or supermarkets—will say that they felt the easing of pork prices, he said. “We warned from the start that such policy is never a win-win solution but a losing proposition to the government, the local industry, and the consumers,” Pangilinan said. Officials said the lower tariff aims to arrest the spiraling pork prices due to the lack of supply as an effect of the African swine fever that decimated a big portion of the local swine industry. But Pangilinan said consumers continue to complain of high pork prices, especially in wet markets. With lower revenues, Pangilinan said, the government will have less money to augment programs for the local hog raisers who badly need support to rise from the onslaught of ASF and to be competitive against imported pork. The farmer-senator said the Senate will continue to keep watch on developments and review the policy when needed to make it more responsive to the local industry and consumers. Malacañang earlier heeded Pangilinan’s call to declare a state of calamity to allow government to augment the funds of the Department of Agriculture for calamity relief and rehabilitation, as well as provide indemnity funds for hog farmers and additional funding for biosafety measures. He also proposed that affected hog raisers be given cash-for-work opportunities to help them get back on their feet. The Bureau of Customs (BOC) has reported a spike in pork imports to 76 million kilograms (kg) from April to early June, following the issuance by President Duterte of a series of executive orders (EOs) cutting tariffs on incoming swine meat shipments and increasing the allowable import volumes for a temporary period to help stabilize the domestic supply and prices of pork for the benefit of Filipino consumers.

‘SLEEPING DRAGON NO MORE’ Taal erupts five times, SO2 level decreases By Rio N. Araja TAAL Volcano erupted five times Wednesday, data from the Philippine Institute for Volcanology and Seismology and the Taal Volcano Observatory showed. The first was a short-lived phreatomagmatic eruption that occurred at the main crater and generated a grayish plume that rose 300 meters high, and followed by four phreatomagmatic bursts and weak eruptions. The last eruption, according to the Taal Volcano Observatory, was recorded at 11:56 a.m. and generated a 200-meter dark gray plume. However, the level of sulfur dioxide being emitted by Taal Volcano, which has been placed under Alert Level 3, has been decreasing in the past few days, Batangas governor Hermilando Mandanas said Wednesday. “We have closely monitored this and the level of sulfur dioxide really went down. Last July 5, the sulfur dioxide covered as much as three kilometers,” Mandanas said during the Laging Handa briefing. From 22,300 tons per day, the level is now down to 7,500 tons, Mandanas said. “[But] this is not yet over. We need to stay alert because magma from the volcano is still flowing,” the governor added. In the past 24-hour period, the Taal Volcano Network recorded 55 volcanic earthquakes, including one explosiontype quake, 44 low frequency volcanic quakes, and five volcanic tremor events.

Maintain peaceful ties with China: Rody By Vito Barcelo

RESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday emphasized the need to maintain the “constructive” and “peaceful” relations with China, saying the proverbial dragon of the East has already awakened and will continue to play a vital role in the region’s economic prosperity for years to come.

“Indeed, the sleeping dragon no more, China has realized its dream of progress and prosperity for its people. With this came great power and equally immense responsibility,” he said in a speech during Tuesday’s virtual Communist Party of China and World Political Parties Summit that marked 100 years of China’s ruling party “There won’t be any turning back. China has risen and will play an important role in the global decades for decades to

come,” he added. Duterte said the Philippines values its strong ties with China, just as his own political party, the PDP-Laban, has friendly relations with the CPC. “To further build mutual trust and confidence, we must sustain our constructive dialogue and peaceful engagement. This is crucial as the bilateral relations between our two countries expand and deepen. We count on China as a friend

QC distributes unclaimed COVID ayuda By Rio N. Araja THE Quezon City government has started the distribution of unclaimed financial aid from the second tranche of the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s social amelioration program under the Bayanihan To Heal As One Act. “Our citizens encountered various problems when they were trying to claim their second tranche ‘ayuda’ when this was being fully distributed via digital and automated means. Some of the beneficiaries did not have smartphones or internet access for them to have an e-wallet account,” Mayor Joy Belmonte said. “That’s why the national government, through much prodding by the city government and barangays, finally started the manual distribution of the unclaimed cash aid yesterday,” she added. At least 40,699 beneficiaries would receive their aid through the two-week manual payout at the Quezon Memorial Circle covered court. Beneficiaries are advised to follow the schedule assigned to their barangays to avoid overcrowding and ensure observance of minimum health protocols. Last year, the SAP’s second tranche was distributed by DSWD’s financial service partners, such as Starpay and Gcash.

and partner for peace and development,” the President said. “The ties between the Filipino and Chinese peoples are deep and enduring. They will remain so for as long as we continue to value win-win cooperation, amity and mutual respect,” he added. Duterte said the “collective wisdom of the great Chinese nation” will ensure that China will “use its newfound strength in defense of what is good and just for all humanity.” “After all, we exist in one global village. Our destinies are inextricably linked with each other. Peace and prosperity therefore must be shared and enjoyed by all,” he said. The world faces tremendous challenges from COVID-19 to climate change and various security threats. While we see difficulties, we also glean many opportunities from greater cooperation and solidarity,” Duterte said.

House declares PH Rise portion ‘protected area’ By Maricel V. Cruz THE House of Representatives Committee on Natural Resources on Wednesday approved a bill declaring a portion of the Philippine Rise a protected area. At a congressional hearing Tuesday, the committee, chaired by Rep. Elpidio Barzaga Jr., passed a substitute bill to House Bill 36 or the Philippine Rise Ma-

rine Resource Reserve (PRMRR) Act authored by Muntinlupa Rep. Ruffy Biazon. The bill aims to protect portions of the Philippine Rise region, namely the Benham Bank and its surrounding waters, through sustainable and participatory management. The areas outside of the strict protection zone shall be designated as the Multiple-Use Zone and the Special Fisheries Management Area (SFMA) pursuant to

Republic Act No. 11038. In defending his bill, Biazon cited experts’ recommendation that a portion of the Philippine Rise be classified as a marine reserve instead of a natural park. “We were enlightened that it would be best that we would make it a marine reserve in order for us to take advantage of the natural resources therein,” Biazon said.

TINGOG Rep. Yedda Marie K. Romualdez on Wednesday administered freepneumococcal polyvalent vaccine (PPV) to some of the 520 beneficiaries in Quezon City as part of her group’s wellness program to fight pneumococcal infection, including the dreaded pneumonia, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “Let us be reminded of vaccinations’ importance to control and prevent pneumococcal infection like pneumonia. It will not only protect us, but also the general population, if we achieve herd immunity,” said Romualdez, a registered nurse, after personally administering the vaccination to the beneficiaries. Romualdez, chairperson of the House committee on welfare of children, lamented that pneumonia remains prevalent especially among elderly people despite being preventable by vaccination. “It is very imperative for us to be proactive in taking care of ourselves, especially the elderly, in the fight against pneumococcal infection. Let us work together to raise awareness,” Romualdez said. PPV works by causing a body to produce its own protection or antibodies against the infection by pneumococcal bacteria. According to medical institutions, pneumococcal infection can cause serious problems such as pneumonia, which affects the lungs; meningitis, which affects the brain; and bacteremia, which is a severe infection in the blood that will lead to death, especially among adults and persons with certain health conditions. Romualdez, Tingog second nominee Jude Acidre and the medical team of the Department of Health (DoH) made possible the inoculation of 320 individuals at the Brisbane covered court at Vista Real Classica 1, Batasan Hills in Quezon City.

Blue Ribbon needs ‘bill of particulars’ to start probe By Macon Ramos-Araneta SEN. Richard Gordon on Wednesday said the Senate Blue Ribbon committee which he heads cannot initiate a probe into the corruption issues revealed by Sen. Manny Pacquiao as these are based only on newspaper accounts. “Investigation of corruption cases must proceed but my committee cannot investigate based merely on newspaper accounts,” he said. While Gordon insisted he is not shirking from his duties and responsibilities as Blue Ribbon chairman, he said Pacquiao’s camp has not shared the documents they have with his committee. He said he needs a bill of particulars to be fair to all concerned parties. “We are not in the business of chasing ghosts. We are in the business of doing what is right,” Gordon added. Before flying to Los Angeles last Saturday in preparation for his bout with Spence on August 22, Pacquiao held a press conference where he accused at least four agencies – the departments of Social Welfare, Energy, Health and Environment – of being involved in anomalous transactions. Pacquiao questioned the P50 billion contract entered into by the Department of Social Welfare and Development with e-wallet app Starpay, which he said only had a paid-up capital of P62,000. He said P14 billion was released to Starpay for the disbursement of social amelioration funds of some 1.8 million beneficiaries, but only 500,000 individuals downloaded the app.

3 troopers killed in NPA E. Samar attack By Ronald Reyes TACLOBAN City—An army personnel and two members of Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (Cafgu) were killed while six others were injured after they were waylaid by alleged members of the New People’s Army near their detachment in Barangay 4, Jipapad, Eastern Samar Wednesday morning. The government troops were more or less 70 meters away from reaching the detachment when three landmines blasted simultaneously, according to an initial report. A firefight then ensued between the personnel of the 52nd Infantry Battalion and some 30 suspected rebels that

lasted for 20 minutes. Killed were Army Technical Sergeant Junar Carpila, and Cafgu personnel Mark Donald Lomuntad and Geremias Etcobañas. The six other wounded Cafgu members were identified as Edwin Adamero, Francis Legarse, Manny Maestre, Ronilo Porton, Jeffrey Pajanustan, and Helbert Pajanustan. They were rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention. The military also reported an undetermined number of injuries or casualties on the NPA side. Maj. Gen. Pio Diñoso III, 8th Infantry Division commander, condemned the attack and the use of anti-personnel mines.

US sends Vietnam 2m Moderna vax doses to help tame pandemic WASHINGTON—The United States began sending Vietnam two million doses of Covid-19 vaccine Tuesday, the White House said, in its latest assistance to countries struggling to tame the pandemic. The Moderna vaccine shipment -part of a first 80 million doses that President Joe Biden has pledged to allocate worldwide -- should arrive in Vietnam this weekend, a White House official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP. “This is just the beginning of doses being shipped to southeast Asia,” the official said. A million doses went to Malaysia on Monday and last week the White House announced delivery “soon” of four million doses to Indonesia. Other regional countries in line for a share of the 80 million doses are Cambodia, Laos, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and Thailand. Communist Vietnam, which borders

China, was initially seen as a model for resisting the pandemic through strict contact tracing and mandatory quarantines. Only 90 deaths have been reported by the government out of 21,000 cases. However, vaccination rates are extremely low in the nation of about 97 million people and the last few weeks have seen infections rise sharply. According to the Ministry of Health, about 3.9 million doses of vaccines had been administered nationwide by Monday, with 226,000 people having received two doses. The Biden administration official said the delivery to Vietnam, made through the World Health Organization’s Covax program, is part of a strategy aimed at “ending the pandemic everywhere.” In June, China sent half a million Sinopharm vaccine doses to Vietnam, although these were aimed at Chinese nationals in the country and Vietnamese traveling to China.

Indonesia expands COVID-19 curbs; Sydney on lockdown

AKARTA —Indonesia expanded nationwide coronavirus curbs Wednesday to battle its deadliest Covid-19 wave yet, as the death toll rocketed with the government warning that the worst may be yet to come.

The new restrictions would apply to dozens of cities and extend from Sumatra Island in the west to easternmost Papua as the highly infectious Delta variant rips across the Southeast Asian archipelago after battering densely populated Java. “Cases are also rising in other regions and we need to pay attention to the availability of hospitals” there,

said senior minister Airlangga Hartarto, who added the government has decided to extend the restrictions until July 20. The country’s hospitals are buckling under the pressure as a wave of sick patients flood the overwhelmed healthcare system. Meanwhile, more than five million Sydney residents will spend at least another week in coronavirus lockdown, Australian authorities said Wednesday, after detecting another 27 new cases. Stay-at-home orders have already been in place in the country’s biggest city for two weeks, as authorities try to curb an outbreak of the highly contagious Delta variant. State officials said progress had been made, but light-

touch measures -- allowing residents to leave home for work, exercise, and shopping -- needed to continue. “This Delta strain is a game changer, it’s extremely transmissible,” said New South Wales premier Gladys Berejiklian, saying it must be eradicated from the community. “We don’t want to be in a position where we are constantly having to move between lockdown, no lockdown, lockdown, no lockdown.” This week the Indonesian government rolled out new virus curbs in the hard-hit capital Jakarta, across Java and on holiday island Bali as it reported Tuesday a record 31,189 new infections and 728 deaths -- as much as seven times the daily mortality rate less than a month ago.

Crime reporter ‘fighting for life’ after shooting THE HAGUE—A prominent Dutch crime reporter was rushed to hospital after being shot on the street in central Amsterdam on Tuesday evening, and remains in a serious condition, police said. Peter R. de Vries -- a celebrity journalist in The Netherlands known for speaking on behalf of crime victims -was “fighting for his life”, Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema told a news conference. Eyewitnesses told local media that the 64-year-old journalist and TV presenter was shot up to five times, including once in the head. Police said three people had been

arrested, among them the suspected shooter, but gave no details on the possible reasons for the attack. Prime Minister Mark Rutte told a press conference in The Hague the attack was “shocking and inconceivable”. “It’s an attack on a courageous journalist and by extension an attack on the freedom of the press, which is so essential for our democracy and rule of law,” he said. De Vries was shot at around 7:30 pm local time (1730 GMT) -- still daylight at this time of year in Amsterdam -- as he left a television studio after appearing on a talk show.

Het Parool daily newspaper quoted a resident as saying she heard five shots and went out to see what had happened. She said she saw de Vries lying on the ground with a lot of blood on his face. She told the paper that he couldn’t speak but was still alive, and that she held his hand as they waited for emergency services. - ‘Black day’ Rutte and Justice Minister Ferdinand Grapperhaus met at the Dutch National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV) in the evening to discuss the shooting.

MIAMI—After battering Cuba with drenching rain and strong winds, Elsa regained hurricane strength late Tuesday as it closed in on Florida, where rescue workers pressed on with their search of the debris of a Miami condominium that collapsed almost two weeks ago. The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Elsa had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph) and was just offshore the Tampa Bay area at 11:00 pm (0300 GMT), with “heavy rains and gusty winds spreading inland across southwest and westcentral Florida.” After making landfall on the Florida coast, it is expected to move inland into the southeastern United States on Thursday, the NHC said. With a possible storm surge of up to five feet (1.5 meters), Tampa airport suspended commercial flights from 5:00 pm Tuesday until at least 10:00 am Wednesday. Florida Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nunez called on state residents to start preparing for the storm, including the possibility of power blackouts, and asked people to stockpile adequate supplies of food and water. “If you are asked to evacuate, please leave,” she said, reminding people that there were emergency shelters ready to accommodate them. Elsa left a trail of destruction through the Caribbean, claiming at least three lives. It was logged as the first hurricane of this year’s Atlantic season on Friday before being downgraded Saturday to a tropical storm again—and then back up to a hurricane Tuesday. AFP

N. America’s warmest June on record PARIS—Last month was the hottest June on record in North America, stoked by a deadly heatwave searing across parts of the region, the European Union’s climate monitoring service reported Wednesday, saying it illustrates the impacts of global warming. Record-breaking heat scorched from the southwest to the northwest of the United States and into Canada, where the all-time record daily temperature was broken three days in a row in British Columbia. The region was 1.2 degrees Celsius (34.2 degrees Fahrenheit) above the 1991-2020 average in June, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). “These heatwaves are not happening in a vacuum. They are happening in a global climate environment that is warming and which makes them more likely to occur,” said C3S climate scientist Julien Nicolas. Globally, June 2021 joins the same month in 2018 as the fourth warmest June. It was the second warmest June on record for Europe, while northern Siberia also saw extremely high summer temperatures. It is already well understood that heatwaves are occurring more frequently, are more intense, and are lasting longer than they did in the past, Nicolas told AFP. AFP

Business Oil prices hammered after OPEC+ talks fizzle NEW YORK—Oil prices briefly spiked Tuesday before sinking after the latest talks by OPEC+ crude producers fell apart as global equity markets mostly retreated. US oil futures approached a sevenyear peak after the talks between the 23 members of the petroleum producers group were called off, an OPEC statement said, ending negotiations on a proposal to boost crude supply. But investors quickly shifted course, selling off both Brent and West Texas Intermediate futures contracts, as investors fixated on a possible disintegration of any effort to rein in supply. “There is capacity to produce more oil, much more in fact, and the market expects that logic will soon prevail,” said Rystad Energy analyst Louise Dickson. The group had been weighing a proposal that would see the world’s leading oil producers raise output by 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) each month from August to December. That would add two million bpd to markets by the end of the year, helping to fuel a global economic recovery as the coronavirus pandemic eases. But an agreement was scuttled following objections from the United Arab Emirates. “Unregulated output could mean freedom for all to produce as much as each country sees fit and would be an extremely bearish development for a market that got used to rules and supply quota, in a world still affected by COVID-19,” Dickson said. “It looks like the market is more worried about a potential crisis at the cartel than it likes the lack of fresh supply coming on in the second half” of the year, Markets.com analyst Neil Wilson remarked. Meanwhile, European equity markets dipped after a mixed Asian session. Both the Dow and S&P 500 finished lower, retreating from records, while the tech-rich Nasdaq edged to a second straight record.

Chinese Tesla rival debuts in Hong Kong with $1.8-b offering HONG KONG, China—Shares in electric carmaker XPeng debuted in Hong Kong on Wednesday, as Chinese-based firms trading in the United States seek to avoid the glare of Beijing’s regulators by listing closer to home. XPeng, which is already Nasdaqlisted and is chasing Tesla in China, is the latest Chinese company to list on the Hong Kong stock exchange, following other big tech firms such as video platform Bilibili and search giant Baidu. The Guangzhou-headquartered car maker raised HK$14 billion ($1.8 billion) in its initial public offering ahead of the start of trade in Hong Kong on Wednesday, selling 85 million shares at HK$165 ($21.20) each. Its shares traded around 1.8 percent higher on opening. The IPO comes as Chinese companies face pressure to list closer to home, and shortly after ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing attracted scrutiny over data security when it listed abroad. “Companies have to split their business,” said Ferdinand Dudenhöffer, head of the Center Automotive Research in Germany. Didi’s fate shows how important the protection of Chinese customer data is, he added. Bloomberg News has reported that two other US-listed Chinese electric car makers—Nio and Li Auto—are also aiming to list in Hong Kong. China is the world’s largest car market and Beijing expects new energy vehicles to comprise 25 percent of car sales by 2025. XPeng has come a long way since co-founder He Xiaopeng proposed a merger with another struggling electric carmaker Nio. According to Chinese media reports, Nio’s founder William Li turned him down.

Stock market dips; DMCI, GT Capital lead decliners S TOCKS retreated for a second day Wednesday along with the rest of Asia, tracking the end of a record streak on Wall Street as concerns lingered over the economic recovery and China’s widening crackdown on tech firms.

The Philippine Stock Exchange Index slipped 49.43 points, or 0.7 percent, to 6,943 on a value turnover of P4.5 billion. Losers overwhelmed gainers, 127 to 59, with 57 issues unchanged. DMCI Holdings Inc. of the Consunji Group dropped 4 percent to P6.42, while GT Capital Holdings Inc of the Ty Group fell 2.4 percent to P607. Security Bank Corp., the eighth big-

gest lender in terms of assets, declined 2.2 percent to P119.20, while conglomerate Ayala Corp. of the Ayala Group decreased 1.7 percent to P798. The rest of Asian markets were broadly down on Wednesday as oil prices briefly spiked Tuesday before falling after the latest talks by OPEC+ crude producers fell apart, ending negotiations on a proposal to boost crude supply. US oil futures approached a sevenyear peak after the talks were called off but investors quickly shifted course, selling both Brent and West Texas Intermediate futures contracts over concerns about the possible disintegration of efforts to rein in supply. The trend in oil prices has also fanned fears about inflation, with investors worried that an overheating economy may force central banks such as the US Federal Reserve to hike interest rates earlier than thought.

“There are still concerns about what happens with the Fed tapering and there’s lack of traction on the fiscal stimulus side,” Keith Lerner, chief market strategist at Truist Advisory Services, told Bloomberg News. “Those uncertainties are just injecting some volatility and then you throw in concerns about peak economic growth. That just feeds into the concerns about—is the best growth behind us?” Wall Street was down Tuesday, with the Dow and the S&P 500 retreating from records and Treasury yields dropping following the release of a worsethan-expected economic indicator for the US services sector in June. Those losses carried over to Tokyo on Wednesday, while Seoul was also down. Sydney, however, rose despite concerns over coronavirus outbreaks fueled by the Delta variant and an extended lockdown in Australia’s biggest city. With AFP

G20 ministers sets meeting to strike political deal on global tax reform plan MILAN, Italy—G20 finance ministers meeting in Venice on Friday and Saturday could rally the world’s top economies behind a global plan to tax multinationals more fairly, already hashed out among 130 countries representing 90 percent of world output. On the face of it, the Group of 20— the world’s 19 biggest economies plus the European Union—have already backed the framework for global tax reform, agreed on July 1 among members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) alongside China and India. But negotiations continue behind the scenes to convince low-tax EU countries such as Hungary, Ireland and Estonia, who declined to sign up to the OECD deal to tax global companies at

a rate of at least 15 percent. Italian Finance Minister Daniele Franco, whose country holds the G20 presidency, said he is “confident” of reaching a “political agreement” among finance ministers in Venice that would “radically change the current international tax architecture.” The hold-out European countries have relied on low tax rates to attract multinationals and build their economies. Ireland, the EU home to tech giants Facebook, Google and Apple, has a corporate tax rate of just 12.5 percent, while Hungary has one of 9.0 percent and Estonia almost only taxes dividend payments. However, the support of these three countries is crucial for the EU, as the adoption of a minimum tax rate would

require unanimous backing from member states. The minimum rate is one of two pillars of global tax reform. The other is less controversial—a plan to tax companies where they make their profits rather than simply where they are headquartered. It has in its sights digital giants such as Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple, which have profited enormously during the pandemic but pay tax rates that are derisory when compared to their income. When the new tax regime is in place— the OECD is aiming for 2023—then national digital taxes imposed by countries such as France, Italy and Spain will disappear. However, the EU plans to announce its own digital tax later this month to

help finance its 750-billion-euro postvirus recovery plan—in the face of opposition from Washington, which sees it as discriminating against US technology giants. It has warned the European proposal could “completely derail” the global tax negotiations. Countries have for years been debating how to stop multinational companies taking advantage of different countries’ systems to limit the amount of tax they pay. Negotiations became bogged down during the US presidency of Donald Trump, but were revived with Joe Biden’s arrival at the White House, and the G7 richest nations made a historic commitment at a meeting in London last month.

New York’s ‘essential’ food delivery workers demand rights By Laura Bonilla NEW YORK—New York’s legions of food delivery men and women—who were declared essential workers during the pandemic but have no on the job access to bathrooms, health insurance or a minimum wage—are mobilizing for the first time to demand better working conditions. The 80,000 “deliveristas,” overwhelmingly Hispanic immigrants who zip around the Big Apple on electric or other bikes come rain, snow or shine, are following the example of other “gig economy” workers such as Uber drivers in Britain who won the right to unionize in May after being recognized as “salaried workers,” in a world first. In just a few months, “Los Deliveristas Unidos,” the first movement of independent riders for food delivery apps, has gained more than 1,000 members and over 13,000 Facebook followers and set up numerous WhatsApp chats across New York City. The group has held large protests outside city hall and, with the help of the Worker’s Justice Project and several councilors, managed to get the municipal legislature to debate six bills that would improve their conditions. “We demand improvements. Life on the street is hard. One is exposed to insecurity, accidents, robberies, injustices, discrimination,” said 38-year-old Guate-

Food delivery workers raise their fists and shout ‘si se puede!’ as they gather on June 20, 2021 to organize better working conditions in Washington Heights in New York City. Some of them, mostly Hispanic immigrants, created a movement called ‘Los Deliveristas Unidos’ and on June 20,2021 they held a meeting in a square in Washington Heights,in New York, where workers could register their ebikes with the police and get information about the movement. AFP

malan deliveryman and group co-founder Gustavo Ajche at a recent demonstration. Another Los Deliveristas Unidos leader, Jonan Mancilla, said the delivery workers wanted to earn the state minimum wage of $15 an hour. “We want to be respected,” said the 33-year-old from Mexico. Several riders told AFP that most of the applications they work for—including Grubhub, Doordash, Seamless, Uber Eats, Instacart, PostMates and Caviar—

do not pay them by the hour, but by delivery. They get between one and four dollars for each delivery plus tip. Only Relay pays $10 an hour. The delivery workers say that sometimes apps or restaurants keep part of the tips and that they have to travel long distances for just a couple of dollars. They also complain that companies do not help them if they get injured and that

they don’t cover expenses for their bike or the insulated bag they use to transport food. “Sometimes restaurants don’t let us in the bathroom and we have to start looking for somewhere. That makes us lose a lot of time and deliveries,” said 27-yearold Orquidea Paz, a rare female delivery worker and mother-of-four from Mexico. Her husband, also a “deliverista,” says he works 15 hours a day, seven days a week. “I don’t rest because I have a family to feed,” Aristeo Policao, 32, told AFP. Bike theft The workers also say their bikes sometimes get stolen. Recently, 200 of them registered their bicycles with police, while the Worker’s Justice Project provided many of them with GPS devices that help locate the vehicles. The riders want the city to do more to combat the theft of electric bikes, which cost around $1,850—a fortune for these immigrants who typically don’t have papers or speak English. “These workers face extreme abuse,” says Ligia Guallpa, executive director at the Worker’s Justice Project. “Food delivery was one of the most essential jobs in the pandemic, but it is also the one with the fewest protections. “Even working 12 hours a day, seven days a week it is impossible to cover daily expenses to survive,” and “applications do not want to be held responsible,” he added.

Campos FRENCH shipbuilder OCEA committed to invest P1.5 billion in a shipyard in the Philippines with the capacity to employ up to 600 workers. OCEA chief executive Roland Joassard revealed the company’s plan to put up a shipyard in the country during the 9th Philippines-France Joint Economic Committee meeting on July 2. OCEA’s business proposal was one of the highlights of the JEC meeting that also covered the agriculture, civil aviation, aeronautics and space, creative industries, electronics, energy and green technology, infrastructure and transportation, maritime and shipbuilding sectors. Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez said the JEC meeting proved the strong bilateral relationship of the Philippines and France. The meeting highlighted the rebuilding efforts of both countries as they faced global challenges caused by the pandemic. Both countries agreed to pursue specific collaboration projects with the existing partnerships in the academe and between both countries’ electronics associations, Semiconductors and Electronics Association of the Philippines, Inc. and ACSIEL Alliance Electronique of France. Both arranged B2B meetings and academic engagements after they signed an MOU at the sidelines of the 2019 JEC hosted by the DTI in Manila. French Minister for Foreign Trade and Economic Attractiveness Franck Riester, who announced a visit to the Philippines before the end of 2021, presented three letters of intent confirming financial support for upcoming projects with the Department of Transportation; financial aid in support of a training boat contract for the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy; and a possible maritime expert proposal. Lopez also delivered a letter from the Bases Conversion Development Authority for the next-phase study of the Clark Fresh Food Hub and another letter conveying strong interest for the renewal of technical training programs from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines addressed to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation.

TRANSMISSION operator National Grid Corp. of the Philippines said Wednesday it is doing repairs on one of the two circuits of its 138-kilovolt high voltage submarine cable damaged during the dredging and rechanneling activities of the Department of Public Works and Highways along Bio-os River, Barangay Jagna, Amlan, Negros Oriental last month. The cable, which interconnects Negros and Cebu, has two circuits of 138-kV submarine cable, each with 90-megawatt capacity. NGCP said because of the damage to one of the two circuits, transmission capacity was limited to 90 MW between Negros and Cebu. NGCP said its system integrity protection

Smart taps service of SpaceMobile SMART Communications Inc. said Wednesday it teamed up with US-based AST SpaceMobile Inc. to expand the reach of its cellular broadband coverage. Under the memorandum of understanding, AST SpaceMobile, the company building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly by standard mobile phones, will seek to offer cellular broadband network coverage to about 70 million Smart subscribers following execution of definitive agreements and successful launch of the SpaceMobile service. The combined effort would explore opportunities to extend SpaceMobile cellular broadband connectivity to the Philippines mainland, islands and surrounding waters after the service is launched. “Our collaboration with Smart to look into opportunities to offer the SpaceMobile service to their customers in rural communities would allow the company to offer affordable broadband cellular access to the unconnected for the first time ever,” Abel Avellan, chairman and chief executive of AST SpaceMobile, said.

Emperador considering S$1-b Singapore listing By Jenniffer B. Austria

MPERADOR Inc., a liquor company owned by businessman Andrew Tan, is considering a secondary listing in Singapore that could raise a maximum of S$1 billion (P36.9 billion).

Bloomberg reported that Emperador started engaging financial advisers on the planned listing which could happen before the end of the year. The company did not immediately respond to requests for comments on the reported plan. Reports said the discussions are at an early stage and that details could change. The stock price of Emperador rose 1.5 percent Wednesday to close at P12.10. It is one of the biggest gainers among stocks listed in the Philippine Stock Ex-

change during the pandemic. Emperador enjoyed brisk sales, thanks to strong international sales. Net income rose 43 percent to P2.1 billion in the first quarter from a year ago. Revenues also jumped 13 percent to P12.1 billion on strong sales of its brandy and whisky brands in various markets. Emperador’s global footprint spans over 100 countries, across six continents and a portfolio of iconic and welldiversified brandy and whisky brands. It owns Emperador Distillers Inc.; United Kingdom-based Whyte and Mackay Group, the fifth largest Scotch whisky manufacturer in the world; Bodegas Fundador S.L.U in Spain, owner of the iconic brand Fundador; and Domecq Bodega Las Copas, S.L which has presence in North and South America. The group earmarked P1.5 billion in capital expenditures to support global expansion this year. Emperador is the liquor unit of Tan’s Alliance Global Group Inc. which is also into property development, gaming

and resorts and fastfood business. Emperador said earlier it would increase its 2021 capital spending as it expected the pandemic to ease on the back of the global vaccination program. Emperador president Winston Co said during the annual stockholders’ meeting the company would raise capital expenditures this year by 50 percent to further expand its global footprint. “Last year, at the height of the pandemic, we held back on our capital expenditure so we spent around P1 billion. With the vaccinations underway, we expect some easing of pandemic restrictions this year and onwards with increased air travel, and overall, some form of normalcy,” Co said. “As a global company, we constantly adapt to changing consumer behavior especially in a challenging and difficult environment. Consumers around the world react differently by region or country depending on how liquor is positioned or perceived as either an essential or non-essential product,” he said.

URC platform backs sari-sari store owners UNIVERSAL Robina Corp. has been tapping Facebook’s vast social network to allow a million neighborhood retailers in the Philippines to replenish their stocks with just a few taps, swipes and clicks. The company launched in October a program that uses Facebook to make it seamless for sari-sari store owners to order online from distributors of URC products. “With some one million or so of t1hem spread across the country, sari-sari stores form the backbone of the informal retail sector,” said URC vice president for customer development in Southeast Asia Oscar Villamora. Villamora said a central feature of the new URC sales platform is “Ate Chat”, an avatar that serves as a “digital concierge”. “Ate Chat receives and answers queries from sari-sari store owners,” Villamora said. “She also provides products and price lists and promos, and then directs those with queries to where they can order what they need online from distributors nearest them”. “This is literally sales at the hands of our distributors,” said Chay Mondear Saputil, vertical lead at Facebook Philippines.

Good fundamentals seen to support economic recovery from COVID-19 By Julito G. Rada

HUMANITARIAN VESSEL. The Aboitiz Group and the Philippine Red Cross renew their agreement for the ship management of M/V Amazing Grace, the country’s only humanitarian vessel. The Aboitiz Group has been supporting the ship management of M/V Amazing Grace since 2017. This year’s extension of ship management services through Abojeb Company will ensure the ship can continue to effectively fulfill its mission to provide and deliver timely humanitarian services. The M/V Amazing Grace was instrumental in sending urgent relief assistance to the communities in Catanduanes that were badly affected by Super Typhoons Rolly and Ulysses in November 2020.

NGCP’s high-voltage submarine cable incurs damage from DPWH work in Negros Oriental By Alena Mae S. Flores

IN BRIEF

scheme was automatically activated after the June 15 incident to isolate the affected circuit and prevent overloading of the remaining cable. The company said it received initial reports which indicated that a contributing factor to the incident was the deviation on the agreed work site by the DPWH. NGCP requested the local government of Amlan and the DPWH to temporarily stop their operations and immediately implemented measures to contain the resulting oil spill. NGCP said that during the dredging and re-channeling activities, the machines hit the submarine cable, causing the oil spill. Around 495 liters of mineral oil was spilled, which NGCP reported to the Coast Guard and to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Region 7.

MAINTAINING good fundamentals will allow the Philippines to recover faster from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that triggered a 9.6-percent economic contraction in 2020, the worst since the end of World War 2, the Department of Finance said Wednesday. The statement was in reaction to recent data showing the current account in the balance of payments reverted from a small surplus of $225 million or 0.3 percent of GDP in the first quarter of 2020 to a slight deficit of $614 million or 0.7 percent of GDP in the first quarter of 2021. This occurred as imports rose 2.2 percent and exports dropped 0.6 percent year-on-year. This was due to a higher goods trade deficit, slower growth in the services trade surplus, lower primary income balance and a resilient OFW sector. Despite the current account deficit, the peso remained firm at P48.287/dol-

lar in the first quarter, stronger than the P50.788/dollar average a year ago. “Maintaining good fundamentals by keeping both the budget deficit and balance-of-payments manageable, keeping interest rates at the level that sustains investments, keeping inflation within the target range and allowing the exchange rate to maintain its competitive level will allow the country to recover promptly as the country unrolls its vaccination program and gradually eases the lockdowns set up to battle the pandemic,” the DOF said. The Monetary Board of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, in its latest meeting, kept policy rate at a record low of 2 percent, expecting that inflation rate would remain manageable in the coming months. Inflation in June slowed down to 4.1 percent after recording 4.5 percent for three consecutive months. This brought the average inflation in the first semester to 4.4 percent, higher than the target range of 2 percent to 4 percent for 2021.

Ilocos Sur infrastructure projects help revive Luzon tourism By Darwin G. Amojelar THE Department of Transportation said Wednesday it is banking on two transport infrastructure projects in Luzon to revive the tourism industry amid the pandemic. Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugude, along with Philippine Ports Authority general manager Jay Daniel Santiago, inaugurated the expanded Salomague Port in Ilocos Sur. Salomague Port is being groomed as one of the cruise ports in the country. “The completed development projects in Salomague Port are expected to promote local economic sufficiency as job opportunities, especially in the tourism sector, will be offered once the port becomes fully operational,” Tugade said. Located near the tourist areas and beaches of Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur

and the ports of Hong Kong and South China, cruise calls to Salomague Port are expected to increase significantly. Before the pandemic, several regional cruise operators already included the Ilocos region in regular rotations. The DOTR said at least 71 people were employed during the port’s construction phase from November 2019 to April 2021 when it was finished. Tugade also inspected other transport infrastructure projects in the vicinity, including the Vigan Airport. The gateway undergoes site acquisition, widening of passenger terminal building, construction of administration building and power house, renovation of the vehicular parking area, water tank and runway strip grade correction. Once the facelift of the Vigan Airport

is complete, it can serve bigger aircraft which would translate into more flights and passengers. The government is spending P69 million to rehabilitate and expand the runway of Vigan Airport. From 14,645 passengers in 2016, the airport was able to register 47,856 passengers in 2018, a compelling indication that Vigan was swiftly gaining an influx of passengers. “When we build and improve our nation’s airports, we are also building platforms for mobility and connectivity that usher in economic and social development. Through this project, Vigan will be more accessible to Filipinos who wish to witness its historical charm. And we know that with more people coming in to Vigan, more jobs come to life for our kababayans,” Tugade earlier said.

Paul focused on task at hand: Win NBA crown

PHOENIX—Chris Paul was matterof-fact after his triumphant performance Tuesday in his NBA Finals debut, largely because his championship goal remains incomplete. The 36-year-old guard, finally making the championship showdown in his 16th NBA campaign, scored 32 points and passed off nine assists in Phoenix’s 118-105 victory over Milwaukee to grab the lead in the best-ofseven affair. “I’m grateful for where I am now and happy to have this opportunity,” Paul said. “I’m just so locked into the game, staying in the moment. That’s just one win. I’m just focused on the task at hand.” Paul, who has seen the secondmost games of any NBA player before making his finals debut, had been doubted as too old and past his prime, the Suns being his fourth team in five years. But beware thinking his best days are done. He partnered with Devin Booker and molded 22-year-old Bahamas big man Deandre Ayton and suddenly, the Suns are in their first NBA Finals since 1993 in quest of their first crown. “Just know he’s ready,” Suns forward Mikal Bridges sais. “He has prepared his whole life for this moment and it shows out there on the court. “Puts in a lot of hard work and sacrifice and takes care of his body. You know he really wants to be here.” Paul scored 16 points in the third quarter. When the Bucks closed within seven points, he made a steal, a hoop and an assist on an Ayton dunk to snuff out the threat, lifting his game in clutch moments to deliver victory. “We know he can do this every game,” Bridges said. “Happy he did it in game one and helped us get this win. We’re going to need him for the next one.” Booker, who had 27 points, has seen 11-time NBA All-Star Paul become the leader the Suns needed since his arrival in a November trade from Oklahoma City. “Anybody that counted Chris Paul out, I mean... he’s walking in the Hall of Fame first ballot,” Booker said. “You can’t ever count any guy out that has done the things he’s done on the court. “He moves this team, he leads this team daily. Just having him in the locker room, I’m not even talking about anything he does on the court, he takes the team to that next level.” His deadly accuracy with mid-range jump shots hasn’t hurt either.

Tolentino’s fearless forecast: At least 1 Olympic gold for PH By Peter Atencio

T least one gold medal can be won by the Philippines in the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo. And anyone of the 19 Filipino athletes who have qualified for the quadrennial is capable of doing it. Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham Tolentino is upbeat about this with three weeks left before the start of the games in Tokyo. “Matagal ko nang sinasabi ito, we will get a minimum of one gold. ‘Pag lumampas doon, bonus na

iyun,” said Tolentino. The POC chief, however, added that he won’t give a name or face to the athlete who will most likely claim the country’s firstever gold medal, saying all members of Team Philippines are capable. The POC chief made his prediction on Wednesday following a virtual signing ceremony with national team sponsor, Asics, which will provide the official uniform and shoes of the national delegation to the Games. Asics executive Kabir Buxani joined the virtual rites with POC secretary general Edwin Gastanes. The gold could come from Ernest John Obiena (athletics), Carlos Yulo (gymnastics), Eumir Felix Marcial (boxing), Irish Magno (boxing), Nesthy Petecio (boxing), Carlo Paalam (boxing), Hidilyn Diaz (weightlifting) and Cris

Nievarez (rowing). Tolentino is also positive that Kurt Barbosa (taekwondo), Margielyn Didal (skateboarding), Elreen Ando (weightlifting), Jayson Valdez (shooting) and Juvic Pagunsan (golf) can deliver. Hopes are also high on the performances of Kiyomi Watanabe (judo), Kristina Knott (athletics), Yuka Saso (golf), Bianca Pagdanganan (golf), swimmers Luke Gebbie and Remedy Rule. Meanwhile, Tolentino said that officials the national delegation to the Olympiad have narrowed down their choice of flagbearer to two athletes. A male and a female athlete will carry the Philippine flag when the opening rites begin on July 23. POC president Abraham Tolentino The Philippine delegation’s chef de mission Mariano “Nonong” Araneta said have found it difficult to choose from he and the Philippine Olympic Committee among the qualified Filipino athletes.

PAF athletes dedicate Tokyo fight to C-130 crash victims SOLDIER-ATHLETES Eumir Felix Marcial and Hidilyn Diaz said they will offer their best performance in the coming 2020 Tokyo Olympics in honor of their colleagues, who were killed and injured in the July 4 C-130 cargo aircraft crash in Patikul, Sulu. “We offer our best performance in our respective events to our countrymen and our fellow soldiers, especially those who suffered in the tragic C-130 plane crash,” Marcial said in a statement Wednesday. The two athletes, who are both Philippine Air Force enlisted personnel, paid a virtual courtesy call to Armed Forces of the Philippines chief Gen. Cirilito Sobejana on Tuesday night. Marcial is currently training in the United States, while Diaz is training in Malaysia. The two are bound for Japan to represent the Philippines in the international multisport event to be held from July 23 to Aug. 8. “With the kind of dedication and commitment that A1C (Airman First Class) Marcial and Sergeant Diaz have, the AFP is sure that they will bring honor to the

Hidilyn Diaz

Eumir Marcial

country,” Sobejana said. In the virtual meeting, the AFP chief praised the military athletes’ dedication, commitment, and sacrifices in preparation for the international event. He noted that 90 percent of the time

and effort are heavily devoted to training and the remaining 10 percent is for the competition itself. Diaz is the first female athlete to win an Olympic medal for the Philippines in weightlifting. She made history after bag-

ging the silver medal in the women’s 53kg weightlifting division of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics in Brazil, ending the country’s 20-year Olympic medal drought. The three-time Olympian, who also competed in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, was also a gold medalist in the 2018 Asian Games and 2019 Southeast Asian Games. Meanwhile, Marcial is a pro-boxer who represented the Philippines at the 2015, 2017, and 2019 Southeast Asian Games and at the 2011 Aiba Youth World Boxing Championships and won gold medals. The 26-year-old athlete has won 13 gold, two silver, and four bronze medals since he started his boxing career in 2011. “The AFP will continue to support our military athletes all the way, especially under the renewed partnership with the Philippine Sports Commission to further elevate their skills and capabilities. We are one with them and all the Filipino delegates in the strong desire to raise the country’s flag in the global sports scene,” Sobejana said. PNA

Ikeda seizes control with eagle-spiked 70 TRECE MARTIRES, Cavite—Chihiro Ikeda, gaining much from a long respite to heal an injured hand, took charge in a topsy-turvy opener of the ICTSI Sherwood Ladies Challenge, banking on a late eagle on her way to a two-under 70 and a two-stroke lead over Gretchen Villacencio and Chanelle Avaricio here yesterday. Ikeda wrested control after an unpredictable start at resumption of the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour that had the leaderboard shuffling on every converted putt and missed shot before the Fil-Japanese surged ahead on backto-back birdies to close out her frontside stint at the Sherwood Hills Golf Club for a 34. She, however, went on a bogey-birdiebogey roll from No. 11 to barely cling onto the lead but drained an eagle on the

par-5 15th before losing steam at the end of the scorching day, bogeying the 18th and missing padding her lead to three. “I didn’t expect to go under. I was looking at a 3-over start which I think is good given the long layoff,” said Ikeda. “But I still feel the pain (in my left hand) all throughout.” Villacencio missed grabbing solo second as she matched flightmate Ikeda’s closing bogey for a 70, the same output put in by Avaricio after blowing a lone birdie on the par-3 11th with a bogey on the par-5 15th even as fancied Harmie Constantino and Princess Superal struggled with identical 74s. Constantino, who marked her pro debut with a two-shot victory over Superal in the ICTSI Eagle Ridge Challenge last March before play was suspended, and Daniella Uy shared the early lead with

birdies on Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, with the unfancied Villacencio grabbing the spotlight next with back-to-back birdies from No. 4 before slipping to second with a bogey on the ninth. But after a birdie-bogey card after eight holes, Ikeda took command on that hot frontside finish and held sway to the finish in an inspiring start for a player who pulled off a victory over Pauline del Rosario in sudden death with an injured hand to claim her last crown at the Tagaytay Midlands in 2019. She then went on an on-and-off campaign trying to buck that injury, barely losing the Summit Point title by one to Korean Hwang Min-Jeong at the close of the seventh season of the circuit organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. She also skipped the Eagle Ridge Challenge last March.

PH volleyball to get boost from Brazilian coach, Fil-American TWO good news came one after the other for Philippine volleyball as Brazilian coach Jorge Edson Souza de Brito finally secured his visa and Kalei Mau got the International Volleyball Federation’s approval on her eligibility to play for the country. Philippine National Volleyball Federation President Ramon “Tats” Suzara said that the Department of Foreign Affairs through officer-in-charge Senen Mangalilie has authorized the Philippine Embassy in Brazil to issue Souza de Brito’s visa three Jorge Edson Souza de Brito days ago. And on Tuesday, the FIVB wrote both the PNVF and USA Volleyball, as well as the Asian Volleyball Confederation and the North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation that the 6-foot-2 Mau could now represent the Philippines in international competitions. “These are a couple of good news for Philippine volleyball. With Coach Jorge flying in soon and Mau already available to play for the country, we can now go on full throttle for the women’s national team training,” Suzara said on Wednesday. Mau, a dual Philippine and US citizen, was supposed to suit up in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, but was disallowed because of her affiliation with USA Volleyball. It took some time for Souza de Brito to secure a Philippine visa amid COVID-19 protocol issues concerning the entry of foreigners to the country. Souza de Brito will work hand-in-hand with national women’s team coach Odjie Mamon for two years upon his arrival.

Basilan vents ire on Zambo del Sur five in VisMin opener

PSC Women’s Martial Arts Festival goes virtual in July

IPIL, ZAMBOANGA SIBUGAY— After months of frustration, Basilan vented its ire on ALZA Alayon Zamboanga del Sur, 82-48, to open the 2021 Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup Mindanao Leg, Wednesday at the Provincial Gymnasium here. It was Basilan’s first game since their Game Two win in the 202021 Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League Lakan Division Finals back on March 20, 2020. Basilan changed its moniker from Steel to the Peace Riders in VisMin. Leading by just eight heading into the second frame, 15-7, the Peace Riders’ offense all of a sudden caught fire while still maintaining their tough defense, outscoring ALZA Alayon 25-7 to enter halftime with a huge 40-14 margin. “After nu’ng first quarter, sinabihan ko ‘yung players ko na huwag silang magmadali, focus lang (kaya nakalamang nang malaki),” said Peace Riders head coach Jerson Cabiltes. The lead would eventually balloon to as high as 42, 78-36, on a Darwin Lunor deuce off a post move at the 4:23 mark of the payoff period. Michael Mabulac stuffed the stat sheet for Basilan with 16 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and a block. He also registered a game-best plus-32 rating. Hesed Gabo was the spark off the bench for Basilan with 14 markers and seven boards while Chris Bitoon and Michael Juico chipped in 12 and 11 points, respectively. The Peace Riders took advantage of their run-and-gun offense, putting up 22 fastbreak points while their counterparts only got two. Moreover, ALZA Alayon’s 22 turnovers led to 27 Basilan points. Dan Sara was the lone Zamboanga Del Sur cager to tally double digits in points with 17. All in all, Zamboanga del Sur shot just 27-percent from the field, including 3-of-22 from deep. In contrast, Basilan was a blistering 50-percent from the field. The Peace Riders look to make it two in a row on Tuesday when they collide with Roxas at 3 pm, while ALZA Alayon aim for their first win on Friday against Iligan at 3 p.m.

Tokyo scraps Olympic torch relay legs in capital

OKYO—The Olympic torch relay has been scrapped on Tokyo’s public roads, ofﬁcials announced Wednesday, as virus concerns continue to plague the Games just over two weeks before they begin. The latest setback comes only a day before International Olympic Committee chief Thomas Bach is due to arrive in Japan for the postponed mega-event. And with coronavirus infections on the rise again in Japan, the government is expected to this week extend restrictions that are likely to affect how many fans—if any—can attend the Games. The Olympic flame arrives in Tokyo on Friday, but private torch-lighting ceremonies will replace the relay across the capital to prevent crowds gathering to watch, the city government said. Right up to the opening ceremony on July 23, the torch ceremonies will be streamed online, with authorities urging spectators to watch them “in the comfort of your home”. Only the relay leg in the Ogasawara is-

lands—a remote archipelago some 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) south of Tokyo—will go ahead in public as scheduled. The nationwide torch relay has been fraught with problems since it began in March, with almost half the legs disrupted in some way. The relay was forced off public roads in famous tourist cities such as Kyoto and Hiroshima over fears that crowds of fans could spread the virus. And it has also met with some public opposition, with a 53-year-old woman arrested on Sunday for squirting liquid from a water pistol towards a runner. Tokyo 2020 was delayed by one year by the pandemic and will take place under strict anti-infection rules, with overseas fans banned and local spectators limited. Participants have already begun ar-

riving in Japan, with 11,000 Olympic athletes from around 200 countries set to take part. Bach, who will isolate for three days on arrival, had initially been expected to visit Tokyo in May, but that trip was cancelled over virus restrictions.

Fan limits

Organisers set a limit last month of 10,000 fans, or half of each venue’s capacity, but recently warned that a fully closed-door Games remains an option as the virus situation worsens. Japan’s Covid-19 outbreak has not been as severe as in some countries, with around 14,800 deaths, but experts say another wave could stretch medical services as the Games begin. The government is this week expected to extend anti-virus measures in Tokyo and other regions—likely until after the Games begin—with a further decision on Olympic fans to follow. Current restrictions cap spectators at non-Olympic sports events at 5,000 and limit the opening hours of bars and restaurants.

DESPITE the limitations brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Philippine Sports Commission will continue its 7th Women’s Martial Arts Festival from July 8 to 31 through virtual events, which are expected to be joined by at least 1,700 participants from all over the country. Delayed by a year due to the pandemic, the festival will feature 7 different martial art events namely judo, karatedo, muay, arnis, pencak silat, taekwondo and wrestling with participants showcasing their martial arts prowess individually. PSC commissioner Celia Kiram said that the continuation of the Martial Art’s Festival even by virtual means is to help raise awareness on sports, wellness, fitness and all aspects of life that would empower women and girls to be physically active, safe and productive. She also added that the event will help ward off anxiety, stress, depression and other psychological issues that arose due to the pandemic Participants of the event are encouraged to perform in open spaces or well-ventilated rooms and should adhere to health and safety standards implemented by following DOH and IATF Health Standards. Kiram stated that “the pandemic should not be an obstacle in celebrating the strength of women in the martial arts field.” The event is in support of Republic Act No. 9710, also known as the “Magna Carta of Women”, which spells out every woman’s right to equal participation in sports.

Rodtang on potential Adiwang fight: Someone is going to get knocked out THAI striking superstar Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon is faced with an interesting challenge. Top strawweight Lito “Thunder Kid” Adiwang from the famed Team Lakay recently called “The Iron Man” out and challenged him to a match. Rodtang and Adiwang are two of the most destructive strikers in the entire promotion, so a showdown would undoubtedly be an action-packed affair. Rodtang has responded to Adiwang’s call out and says he’s open to meeting the Filipino fighting sensation in the ring. “If Lito thinks he has some tricks to beat me, then I welcome him to meet me,” Rodtang told ONE Championship in a recent video interview. “It depends on the weight, whether

he will come up in weight or if I will go down.” Rodtang is the reigning ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion and has dominated the opposition since he joined ONE Super Series in 2018. His comeforward style has enamored fans as he’s rarely met a serious challenge in the ring, practically obliterating anyone he’s been paired with. Adiwang, however, feels he matches up well with the Thai star, and Rodtang agrees. “The Iron Man” believes it may even be a close fight that will end inside the distance. “I think Lito’s fighting style is similar to mine. We are both fast and explosive. His striking is quite good, to be honest. I think it’s going to be an exciting fight if we face each other in the ring,” Rodtang said.

THE BOTTOM LINE LITO CINCO

Back in Banahaw IT WAS exactly four months ago last Saturday since I underwent a quadruple bypass operation. I chose that day too to go back to Mt. Banahaw with a group of friends and my ex-students from the Young Journalists Association of Mandaluyong or YJAM.

“Since we both have the same striking style, and we both walk forward, if anyone makes a mistake, he’s going to get knocked out for sure.” The potential fight has drawn a lot of buzz among fans of both camps. The idea of a mixed martial arts athlete crossing over to the all-striking ONE Super Series is incredibly appealing. However, Rodtang isn’t ruling out a move to mixed martial arts himself. “Whether it’s Muay Thai or kickboxing, I’m always open to the idea,” Rodtang said. “If it’s going to be in MMA, I would need at least a year before competing. I want to make sure I have all the necessary skills. I’ve trained in MMA before, but I need more training.”

After all, because of the pandemic plus my operation, it has been a year and a half that I have not set foot in my favorite mountain. Normally, I go there three to four times a year, bringing school supplies for local kids in the summer, and holding a party and giftgiving every Christmas, the latter for close to 20 years already. Since I first went up there for a Victoria Court management team-building done by Frank Regis, I have fallen in love with this mystical mountain in Quezon and have been going back, even conducting my own adventure team-building there for the likes of the University of the East Lady Warriors, Centro Escolar University’s women’s basketball team and Foton in women’s volleyball, including Jaja Santiago and her sister Dindin Manabat.

Everyone I brought there wanted to go back and many of them have done so. In fact, sometime this October, UE coach Ai Lebornio wants to join me again in Banahaw. So many times, so many memories, so many tales, and so many lives touched by their Banahaw experience, especially my YJAM students who now are working, but still joining me there for gift-giving, even giving their own personal money now. And the reason why I went again there last weekend was to bring ayuda family packs to 70 families and toys for 35 kids. The kids’ gifts were a request from a local priest. So with the help of Atty. Rob Avenida and his APO frat friends from the University of the Philippines; Nikki Santos and Reggie Ibon, who came with his

daughter and staff; Fil-Japanese lady, Ai Nagasawa; and YJAM core group members Kim, Esme, and Melody, off we went last Saturday, bringing with us toys and grocery items. When we arrived there, we bought additional rice, some 2kgs per family, and other groceries and veggies. We repacked them and waited for the family representatives to come and claim their packs. Local people helped us with the recipients’ list and we started giving out one by one. For the toys, distribution was made by the priest the following day. Saturday after lunch, we were done, it was time to see and appreciate Banahaw once more. Unfortunately, not for me yet as I did not want to overexert myself, so no caving and long treks, at least for now. I had a guide (Carlos) bring Rob and his group to Kalbaryo, an uphill trek that

rewards one with a beautiful vista from the top. Sunday morning, we rented a jeepney to bring us to Kinabuhayan for a trek all the way to my favorite waterfalls there, but again not for me as I joined them only up to Eden, then waited for them to return, tired but refreshed. The adventure was heightened for those who went and rode on top of the jeepney, shouting their hearts out on the downhill parts of the road. Then, it was time for a hearty homecooked lunch prepared by Robin Igno and his mother Mila, at their house, where we stayed overnight. And with the local people happy with our ayuda and my group equally happy with the adventure, it was mission accomplished for me. Until my next trip.

A trap artist’s new beat S OME musicians are born into it either by nature or the environs they grow up with. Such is the case for Enzo Brillantes otherwise known as ROBOTMODEACTIVATED, who said that being born into a family of musicians has somehow molded him into the kind of artist that he is now. The 23-year-old budding musician recently launched a new original single called “Different Lies,” an emotive hiphop/emo rap anthem -- the kind of bounce you want perhaps when you’re driving and having that kind of happy mood that you want to prolong. Being one who likes the guitar as the main backdrop of his music, he wrote and put together “Different Lies” with a love long gone in mind. “It speaks about a love so beautiful yet in a way impossible to have. You could say it’s also about a lost man looking for love in the wrong places, on the side, it talks of a beautiful yet fundamentally broken story of two lovers torn apart by circumstances,” Enzo shares. “When I write a song, the first thing I do is make the beat for it. It takes about three hours to finally arrive at something I’m satisfied with. And then the rest follows. The thing is, I treat my music as an outlet for my emotions or the current situation I am in, so I have to be in a certain kind of mood when I create music, otherwise, it

YUGEL LOSORATA A LIVING legend whose work continues to inspire, Vehnee Saturno has helped singers become household names themselves. He's a firm believer that one breakthrough song can spell the difference, and turn a brilliant talent's relative anonymity into big-time celebrity. The list of songs penned by Saturno is long: Martin Nievera (“Be My Lady”), Ariel Rivera (“Sana Kahit Minsan”), Jessa Zaragoza (“Bakit Pa?”), Jay R ("Bakit Pa Ba?)," among many others. Fans and friends of Alisah Bonaobra collectively dubbed Alisah Warriors are thrilled that she may have just reached her V-Day, as in V for Vehnee, with her latest release "Kahit Di Totoo," which the master wrote. She and her US-based manager Rosabella Jao-Arribas met with the icon prior to pandemic to discuss the possibility that they collaborate. The single completed at Wild Grass Recording Studios in Quezon City last May, lands on digital music stores Friday (July 9). Alisah happily shared, “I feel very blessed po na I was given the opportunity to interpret a composition by Sir Vehnee. Malaking bagay po ito sa akin.. I can say na naipakita ko sa recording ng kantang ito ang aking soft side like never before." "Kahit Di Totoo" was produced by Rosabella's RJA Productions, mixedmastered by the accomplished Dante Tañedo,, with premier vocal coach Arnie Mendaros on board, efficiently guiding Alisah from the first line to the final note.

doesn’t feel sincere,” he adds. Enzo considers himself more of a musician than an artist, although he is quite comfortable being referred to as both. He is currently working on an EP, which would be composed of original tracks that he started sharing with the public last year. Apart from that, he has some good songs produced by big names such as NiNETY8 and RIAA, a two-time Certified Gold Producer/Billboard Top 100 Producer Ant Chamberlain, and many more. “The plan is to release a song each month if circumstances permit. I released one last April, then there is the “Different Lies,” and then there’s also one that I plan to launch next month or so,” he said. ROBOTMODEACTIVATED, as he prefers to be called nowadays, is very much open to collaboration with other musicians and artists believing that his voice, his music will have more brevity and will take on a whole new perspective if he shares with other talents.

“There is so much in me that I want to share; there’s always something going on in my head, in my heart, and I channel it through my music. I’d like to share it with other talents because when I do, it feels like I am not alone in conveying the same message, and even if it takes on a different meaning, it is still something nice to achieve,” the trap star said. These days, he finds himself always listening to the final mixes of his songs, noting the improvements here and there, and what he needs to work on moving forward. ROBOTMODEACTIVATED, more known for his guitar chops, showcases that his repertoire extends more than the

V-Day for Alisah "Usually po I would use my head voice. But in this track nagamit ko po ng mahusay ang aking natural voice,” she added. Vehnee, in a quick chat with yours truly, reiterated his vow to help artists like Alisah who has a strong following just waiting for that game-changing hit. He himself has high hopes about his new song fittingly interpreted by someone he described as "konteserang walang kaba."

That's so true considering that the young lady wowed even worldrenowned Simon Cowell and the high-taste British audience at X-Factor UK some years back. She even bagged the first runner-up plum at The Voice of the Philippines. The song should relate to all those lovestruck martyrs out there. Vehnee related, “Para sa akin, love is sacrifice at ibig sabihin ay kaya mong tanggapin ‘yung ayaw mo sa isang tao." Alisah loves to be around people who trust each other and she's comfortable working with. Her previous release, "Pangako," saw her singing a duet with labelmate and friend Myko Mañago. She also recorded and released in November last year a track called "Faithful" penned by another icon in the music scene: Cecile Azarcon. She hinted at recording more songs crafted by big-name songwriters. The vocally gifted, animal-lover whose amiable character had been molded by hardworking sidewalk vendor-parents has now a family-owned canteen within the Manila Doctors Hospital. She is currently facilitating the creation of a home studio where she can further enhance the atmosphere of her online shows to reach more audiences. She has also begun writing songs herself as she plans to record one of her own sometime in the future. Alisah Bonaobra’s “Kahit Di Totoo,” penned by icon Vehnee Saturno and to be dropped on digital music platforms July 9, may just be the breakout hit of her already colorful career.

STREAMING giant Netflix unveiled the official trailer and poster for My Amanda, a film starring Alessandra de Rossi and Piolo Pascual.

She said that her fans here and abroad continue to be her inspiration and source of strength. “Isa sa mga top na nagpapangiti sa akin ay kayong mga sumusuporta sa akin.

Painting walls with LED light panels

IGHTING experts emphasize the importance of light in designing a room, on account of its effect on a person’s impression and experience of the space on top of its primary functions. George Chu, account manager at technology and IoT (Internet of Things) company Nanoleaf, said lights could help “manage your mood throughout the day”. Founded by three engineers, Nanoleaf is popular for its energy efficient LED light bulbs, smart lighting systems, and LED light panels – the latter a favorite in setting the right ambience in a room. The modular light panels can be connected to each other to form a variety of designs on the walls, thus the term “Lego for lighting”, as cited by Jeffrey

Yeung, marketing manager for Japan and Asia Pacific. Nanoleaf brings to the Philippines its Shapes line of smart LED light panels. It is a Wi-Fi controlled lighting system composed of touch reactive panels that change colors with a tap or voice command. Nanoleaf Shapes is compatible with Google Assistant, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings. It comes in hexagons and triangles equipped with snap-on mounting system and adhesive for easy installation, and connects using Connect+ technology.

It also has a screen mirror feature that adapts to the color and activity on the television or computer monitor, taking home entertainment or gaming experience a few notches up. Users can also access preset lighting scenes (e.g. Northern Lights, Blaze, etc.) and lighting playlists via the Nanoleaf App. The starter kit for Shapes consists of nine light panels, mounting plates, linkers, double-sided adhesive mounting tape, a controller, a power supply unit, and a quick start guide. In addition to Shapes, Nanoleaf is also bringing to the country the Elements Wood Look Hexagons – customizable modular light panels with woodgrain veneer finish providing a warm accent in any room either lights on or off.

Technology company Nanoleaf brings to the Philippines its line of triangle and hexagon smart LED light panels that can be connected to create murals or abstract designs on the walls, can be controlled using touch and voice command, and can mirror screen activity, among other things.

FOCUSING on our individuality forges the path that leads us to achieve our full potential. But baring our true selves may not be easy at times, especially in a traditional and rigid work environment. Mondelez Philippines Inc., the maker of Tang, Cheez Whiz, Eden, Oreo, Toblerone, Cadbury, and other fun snacks, believes in building a winning growth culture in the workplace. “Our goal is to continuously build a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable world socially and economically,” said Aileen Aumentado, people lead at Mondelez Philippines. The company joined the celebration of Pride month with a forum on diversity and inclusion, highlighting workplace equality for members of LGBT+ community. During the event, the company shared the Oreo proud parent video, released in 2020, that tells the story of a young woman who is introducing her girlfriend to her parents for the first time. The commercial ends with the line “a loving world starts with a loving home”. The video coincided with the release of the rainbow Oreo last year. In the Philippines, Mondelez has policies that support LGBT+ employees. “Our HMO benefits are extended to domestic partners. We have primary caregiver leaves, single parent leaves, and remote working policy for employees whose partners are working

abroad,” said Aumentado. The company also has an aggressive internal campaign that addresses the issue on unconscious bias. Apart from the value of equality, they constantly emphasize the respect for one’s individuality. “We still need to overcome inequality and unconscious bias around the world. Achieving equality is everyone’s responsibility and requires collective action from all of us,” shared Ashish Pisharodi, country director of Mondelez Philippines. “We believe we are stronger through our diverse, inclusive, and connected community.” Mondelez Philippines capped their celebration by joining the Philippine Financial and Inter-Industry Pride (PFIP), a non-profit organization that aims to foster an industry that is safe and inclusive for the LGBT+ community. PFIP welcomed Mondelez to its growing list of partner organizations. “Through our partnership with Mondelez Philippines, we hope to promote the three basic LGBT+ rights in the workplace: the right to a chosen name and preferred pronouns to affirm one’s gender identity, the right to dress according to one’s gender expression, and the right to access inclusive facilities and amenities including restrooms,” shared PFIP Board of Trustee Chris Eugenio. Eugenio added, “For companies who are looking to evolve their workplace culture, we recommend starting with these inclusive practices.”
