GUMACA, Quezon, Enero 20 (PIA) --Matapos pagkalooban ng Department
of Trade and Industry (DTI) ng iba't ibang kagamitan ang Gumaca
Woodcraft Multi-purpose Cooperative sa ilalim ng shared services
facility (SSF) program, isang pagsasanay ukol sa paggamit ng mga
makinarya ang ipinagkaloob naman ng DTI-Quezon.
Nagsilbing tagapagsanay si G. Eduardo J. Yabut, Jr., isang dalubhasa sa bamboo technology at sa paggamit ng mga makinarya ukol dito mula sa Cottage Industry and Technology Center (CITC).
Ang tatlong araw na pagsasanay mula Enero 13 hanggang Enero 15 ay ginanap sa pagawaan ng nasabing kooperatiba na dinaluhan ng 22 katao mula sa ibat-ibang grupo ng mga gumagawa ng Bamboo Hut at bamboo furnitures.
Ang Gumaca Woodcraft ay gagawa ng mga laminated bamboo slats kung kaya ipinagkaloob sa kanila ang kiln dryer, circular saw cutter, bamboo slat cutter at laminating machine. Samantala, ang iba pang mga grupo ay bibigyan ng mga makinang ukol lamang sa pag-gawa ng bamboo furnitures habang sila ay makakagamit din ng makinarya ng Gumaca upang higit na makamit ang mataas na antas ng kalidad para sa kanilang mga produkto.
Samantala, isa pang pagsasanay tungkol sa bamboo lamination ay inihahanda ng DTI Quezon sa pamamagitan ni Ginang Graciela Ledesma sa ilalim ng pangangasiwa ni Provincial Director Marcelina Alcantara.
Ang mga nakahandang pagsasanay ay kinabibilangan ng mga sumusunod: ‘raw materials selection & harvesting’, ‘primary processing and sorting’, at ‘treatment, preservation and proper storage’.
Isa sa pinaka-tampok na produkto sa pagsasanay ay ang pag-gawa ng ‘engineered bamboo’, isang mas matibay na tabla yari sa pinagdikit-dikit o pinagsapin-sapin o paglalamina ng manipis na mga bahagi ng kawayan.
Maari itong gamitin na upuan sa mga paaralan at iba pang uri ng mga muwebles. (Charlie S. Dajao, DTI Calabarzon/Pablito Budoy, DTI Quezon)

TRECE MARTIRES CITY, Cavite, Jan. 9 (PIA) – Twenty provincial
offices have passed the ISO 9001:2008 certificate of registration from
the international certifying body for their excellence in quality
management system.
The awarding of ISO 9001:2008 certificate of registration held Monday, January 6, at the provincial gymnasium during the first flag-raising ceremony for the year 2014.
The newly ISO certified offices are the following: Provincial Administrator for Internal Affairs, Provincial Accounting Office, Provincial Budget Office, Provincial Engineer’s Office, Provincial Health Office, Cavite Office Of Public Safety, Provincial Information Office, Provincial Planning and Development Office, Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office, Office of the Provincial Agriculturist, Provincial Cooperative Livelihood and Entrepreneurial Development Office, Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office, Provincial Jail, Provincial Legal Office, Provincial Veterinary Office, Provincial Population Office, Provincial Housing Development and Management Office, Provincial Youth and Sports Development Office, Provincial Tourism Office and Cavite Quality Management Office.
Governor Jonvic Remulla reminded the employees of the provincial government to live the ISO culture and exert all efforts to maintain the certification and constantly improve service delivery to constituents.
ISO 9001:2008 is a set of standards and requirements for the development of a quality management system commonly applied by private corporations and organizations to help ensure that the needs and expectations of customers are adequately and consistently met. These standards also enable organizations to develop mechanisms for continual improvement of products and services.
The province adopted the principle of instituting quality management system particularly in the four core offices of the provincial government (which was ISO certified almost two years ago) namely the Treasury, Assessor’s Office, Sangguniang Panlalawigan and the Office of the Provincial Governor together with three support offices – the Human Resource management Office, Information Technology Division and the General Services Office.
The Anglo Japanese American (AJA) Registrars granted the Certificate of Attestation to the Provincial Government last May 3, 2012. Later, Cavite was awarded as the first ISO 9001:2008 certified provincial government in the Philippines and in South East Asia on June 12, 2012.
The event was attended by the members of Sangguniang Panlalawigan led by Vice Gov. Jolo Revilla, Dir. Josefina Castilla-Go, regional director of DILG Region IV, Dir. Fernando Mendoza, assistant regional director of the Civil Service Commission Region IV-A, harity Arevalo, field director Region IV-A, Paul Bagatsing of AJA Registrar’s Inc., Jesus Barrera, quality management representative, division and department heads and employees of the provincial capitol.

CALAMBA CITY, Laguna, Jan 13 (PIA) --While the Department of
Health (DOH) declared measles outbreak in some cities of the National
Capital Region (NCR) early this month, there was no reported occurrence
of outbreak in Calabarzon as of this time.
But Calabarzon was not spared from the rising cases of measles in the Philippines. Last year, the total number of laboratory-confirmed measles cases in the region was 458, which was 288 percent higher compared with the 159 confirmed cases in 2012.
Dr. Nestor F. Santiago, Jr., regional director, DOH - Regional Health Office (DOH-RHO) 4A, said there was an increase in measles cases last 2013 in three provinces in the region, namely: Laguna, 259; Batangas, 88; and Cavite, 57. The cities with the highest number of measles cases were: 1) Sta. Rosa City, 119; 2) Lipa City, 42; and 3) Bacoor City, 23.
Since May 2013, the health workers in these areas have already conducted outbreak response immunization for children 6 months to 59 months old to complete the 2 doses of measles vaccination and ensure increase in the immunization coverage.
Dr. Santiago stressed that significant activities have already been undertaken by the DOH-RHO 4A, in coordination with the local government units, such as: massive information dissemination campaign; delivery of Measles vaccines (MV) and Measles, Mumps, Rubella Vaccines (MMRV) to different provinces to ensure availability of logistics; surveillance of all reported cases; and inventory of cold chain facilities.
Moreover, he said, health advisories have also been sent to local government units, to remind them to mobilize their respective local health workers to conduct catch-up and follow-up immunization of drop-outs and missed children, to ensure high immunization coverage. (MTYMalubag, DOH RHO4A/PIA4A)

P10.5M halaga ng isda sa lawa ng Taal, apektado ng malamig na
panahon
Tuesday 21st of January 2014
TALISAY, Batangas,
Enero 21 (PIA) --Tinatayang may 120 toneladang isda na nagkakahalaga ng
P10.5M ang naapektuhan sa nangyaring fish mortality sanhi ng malamig
na panahon.
Sinabi ni Vic Mercado
ng Protected Area Management
Bureau (PAMB) na nangyari ang insidente sanhi ng sulfur upwelling sa lawa ng
Taal a siyang naging dahilan ng fish mortality sa mga barangay
na kinabibilangan ng Aya, Quiling, Tumaway at Sampaloc na sakop ng bayang
ito.
Aniya, ang fish
mortality ay dulot ng pag-overturn ng lawa at sulfur upwelling na dala ng
napakalamig na panahon. Ito ay karaniwang nangyayari kapag ang malamig na
tubig ay nagiging mabigat at bumabagsak sa ilalim na nagiging sanhi naman
ng pagtaas ng mainit na tubig na kakaapekto sa mga isda.
May 51 fishcages sa
kabuuang 2,000 ang naapektuhan sa bayan ng Talisay.
Patuloy din ang
monitoring ng Task Force Taal Lake, Department
of Environment and Natural Resources, Bureau of Fisheries and
Aquatic Resources at lokal na pamahalaan ng Talisay upang masiguro na
hindi na ito muling mauulit.
Pinayuhan din ang mga
operators ng mga fishcages na anihin na ang mga isdang maaaring maibenta
upang maiwasan ang pagkalugi.(PIA Batangas)

President Benigno S. Aquino III's Speech at the Launching
of the Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3
|
Buendia - End of the Skyway Stage 1, Makati City
|
22 Jan 2014
|
Magandang umaga po. Maupo ho tayo. President Fidel Ramos; Secretary Babes Singson; Secretary Jun Abaya; Secretary Arsi Balisacan; Chairman Francis Tolentino; of course, Mr. Ramon Ang; Attorney Luis Sison; Mr. Shadik Wahono; one of my mother’s favorite generals, Jose Magno; Mr. Dodick Marceno Utomo; Mr. Robert Vergara; Congresswoman Monique Lagdameo; Mayor JunJun Binay; Mayor Herbert Bautista; Mayor Edwin Olivarez; Mayor Oscar Malapitan; Secretary Ping de Jesus; Project Team of the Metro Manila Skyways Stage 3; other government officials present; honored guests; mga minamahal ko pong kababayan: Muli, magandang umaga po sa inyong lahat. Ngayong umaga, sama-sama po nating inilulunsad ang isang proyektong pihadong maghahatid ng ginhawa sa mga kalsada sa lungsod: ang Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 or MMS 3. Bahagi po ito ng tinatawag nating Metro Manila Skyway System, kung saan sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatayo ng elevated expressways, ay maikokonekta na natin ang SLEX at NLEX, o ang katimugan at hilagang bahagi ng kalakhang Luzon. Sa halagang mahigit 26 na billion piso, ikokonekta po ng lampas labing-apat na kilometrong kalsadang ito ang Buendia at Balintawak. Hudyat ang paglulunsad nating ito ngayon sa pagsisimula na ng konstruksyon, na ayon kay Secretary Jun Abaya ay talagang raratsada naman pagdating ng Abril ng taong ito. Inaasahan natin ang tuluyang pagkumpleto ng proyekto sa 2017—at malamang mamamasyal kami ni President Ramos ‘pag ito po ay nakumpleto na—samantalang mayroon naman pong accelerated construction target para sa June 2016. Oras na makumpleto, ano po ba ang maaasahan nating benepisyo mula sa Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 na ito? Maliwanag po: mababawasan ang traffic sa EDSA at sa iba pang pangunahing kalsada sa kalakhang Maynila, dahil madaragdagan ang kalsadang puwedeng tahakin patungo sa katimugan at hilagang bahagi ng Luzon. Tinatayang 55,000 sasakyan araw-araw ang ikaluluwag ng mga kalsadang ito. Siguro rin po, karamihan sa atin, dumaan na sa matinding kalbaryo ng pagbiyahe mula Buendia hanggang Balintawak. ‘Di po ba, halos dalawang oras, ‘pag minalas, ang inaabot nito dahil sa siksikan sa mga kalsada? Kapag nabuksan na po itong MMS 3, papatak na lang sa 15 hanggang 20 minuto ang biyaheng iyan. Ang good news pa: Makakapaghatid ang proyektong ito ng halos 6,000 na direktang trabaho, at karagdagang 10 hanggang 12 libong indirect jobs sa panahon ng konstruksyon. Sa inisyal pong traffic na posibleng maidulot nito, malamang po ay may mga nag-aabang na ring kritiko na kokontra at magiging negatibo sa proyektong ito. Pati po sila, mukhang mabibigyan na rin ng trabaho. [Laughter] Sa totoo lang po, hindi madali ang pinagdaanan natin para marating ang araw na ito. Isipin po ninyo: Dekada 70 pa nang ilatag ang planong noo’y tinawag nilang Manila North at Manila South Expressways. Dapat po, aabot sa Carmen, Rosales, sa Pangasinan, at Lucena sa Quezon ang mga kalsadang kaakibat nito. Hindi pa naman po yata malabo ang paningin ko, pero wala pa po tayong nadadatnang expressway sa Rosales, at wala pa rin sa Lucena. Makalipas po ang mga dekada, ngayon pa lang tayo maglulunsad ng ikatlong bahagi Metro Manila Skyway na inumpisahan noong dekada 90. Ang tanong po: Bakit nga ba napurnada nang ganito katagal ang planong ito? Isa pong malinaw na dahilan: ang Construction and Development Corporation of the Philippines noon, na ngayo’y Philippine National Construction Corporation (PNCC), ay kulang sa kakayahang gawin ang proyekto. Siyempre, kailangan nang maghanap ng iba pang katuwang upang matuloy ang pagpapatayo nito. Yun nga lang, may mga barikadang humarang sa katuparan nito—ang Presidential Decrees 1113 at 1894—mga batas na, ayon sa mga salitang ginamit ng Pangulo noong mga panahong iyon, ay tila isinasaad na isa ang PNCC sa mga dapat maging palagiang partner sa konstruksyon ng proyekto. Ang masaklap pa nito: magdugtong ka lang ng kahit isang dipang kongkreto sa orihinal na kalsada, mabibigyan ka na ng panibagong 30 taon na prangkisa nang wala nang partisipasyon o pahintulot ng Kongreso. Sa harap po ng constitutional at legal issues na ito, malinaw po ang ating ginawa: Humanap tayo ng solusyon na alinsunod sa lahat ng batas, lalo na sa Saligang Batas. Kinausap natin ang mga katuwang na kompanya upang magkasundo sa implementasyon ng proyektong ito, at para hindi na maipit pa ang benepisyong ihahatid nito sa mamamayang Pilipino. Ayaw na po nating ipasa sa susunod na administrasyon ang suliraning ito, at iparanas pa sa kanila ang kalbaryong ating pinagdaanan dahil sa probisyon ng mga naturang batas. Sa kabila naman ng mga lubak at harang na kinaharap natin upang marating ang araw na ito, hindi tayo natinag upang sama-samang humakbang pasulong. Talaga naman pong sulit ang anumang tagumpay na makakamit, lalo na kung pinaghihirapan. Kumbinsido tayong makakamtan natin ang patong-patong na positibong bunga ng yugtong ito ng Skyway—mula sa masusulit na oras, pera, at gasolina, hanggang sa dagdag-trabaho at pag-arangkada ng komersyo’t pambansang ekonomiya. Sa huli, tinutumbok nito ang ating layunin: ang itaguyod ang mga daan sa Kamaynilaan bilang daluyan ng kaunlaran. Taos-puyso ang pasasalamat natin sa bawat indibidwal at ahensiyang nakiambag sa tagumpay na ito—mula sa ating national agencies, local government units, hanggang sa pribadong sektor na naghahanda ng kanilang kapital, sa kabila ng mga naranasang pagsubok, dahil desidido silang makatulong. Patunay kayo sa positibo at mabungang resulta ng pag-aambagan ng pampubliko at pribadong sektor. Nawa’y patuloy tayong magbayanihan para iangat ang iisang bayan na ating ginagalawan, at ipakitang nasa loob o labas ka man ng Kamaynilaan, bahagi ka ng isang malawakang stratehiya para siguruhing walang Pilipinong maiiwan, sa ating biyahe tungo sa malawakang kaunlaran. Sa atin pong mga kababayan, humihiling naman po ako ng kaunting pasensya at pang-unawa. Malaking imprastraktura po ito. Sa pagtulog natin sa madaling araw, wala naman pong dambuhalang helicopter na biglang susulpot sa kalangitan at ilalapag na lang ang Skyway na ito sa kalsada, at paggising natin ay kumpleto na ang proyekto. Mahalaga po ang pakikiisa ng lahat sa anumang adjustment na ating gagawin para mabigyang-daan ang konstruksyon nito. Hinihiling ko rin ang suporta’t kooperasyon ng ating mga LGUs, partikular na sa isyu ng right of way. Para naman sa mga paulit-ulit na nagtatanong, at sinasadyang magbulag-bulagan sa mga nararating na nating tagumpay: Ito po ang daang matuwid. Hindi pinanday ng pantasya, at mas lalong hindi gawa-gawa na parang eksena sa isang pelikula—totoo at kongkretong mga proyekto ang hatid ng ating tuwid at mabuting pamamahala para sa kapakanan ng sambayanang Pilipino. Anumang pilit ng ilang magpapogi at magpabida para sa pansariling interes lang, ay wala pa ring makakapigil sa kolektibo nating pag-arangkada bilang isang bayan. Bawat hakbang sa tuwid na daan ay nakatuon lamang sa direksyon kung saan higit na maiaangat ang buhay ng mga kababayan nating matagal nang naetsapuwera’t napag-iwanan. Ito ang buong-sigasig na isinusulong ng inyong pamahalaan—sama-sama ang lahat sa pagsulong, at walang Pilipinong maiiwan. Magandang umaga po. Maraming salamat po sa lahat. |
INTERVIEW OF COMMUNICATIONS SECRETARY HERMINIO COLOMA,
JR.

Q: (recording cut) … sa ganitong mga usapin, hindi po ba, Sec. Sonny, sir? SEC. COLOMA: Malinaw dito, Alan, na tila may pagtatangkang ilihis ang usapan dahil ang talaga namang usapin na kanyang hinaharap ngayon ay iyong tungkol sa paggamit ng PDAF. Iyon pong usapin ng impeachment, matagal na pong tapos iyon. At lahat po sila na senador na bumoto para sa conviction ni dating Chief Justice Corona ay hinangaan at pinapurihan na ng sambayanan. Pati po iyong Senado bilang isang institusyon, nakatanggap nang pinakamataas na marka mula sa mga mamamayang Pilipino. Kaya bakit po kailangan pang magbalik-tanaw doon at maglihis at lumikha ng alinlangan, samantalang napagpasyahan na ang isyung iyan. Ang dapat pong harapin na lamang ay tungkol sa paggamit ng PDAF. Q: Opo, opo. At of course ito ay naipagharap na ng kaukulang mga reklamo sa tamang forum, Sec. Sonny, ‘di po ba? SEC. COLOMA: Hindi ko mawari, Alan, kung anong maaari niyang ireklamo doon, samantalang ang sabi lang naman ng Pangulo ay magpasya siya ayon sa merito ng kaso. Ang tugon niya, mismo sa kanyang bibig nanggaling ito, “I will do what is right,” at ang kanyang pagboto ay para sa conviction. Sa makatuwid, wala namang kontradiksyon doon sa naging pasya niya doon sa posisyon ng ating Pangulo. At ni minsan, hindi niyang sinabing pinilit siyang palitan ang kanyang paninindigan; hindi siya nagsabing laban sa kanyang kalooban iyong hinihiling sa kanya. Kaya’t wala pong batayan iyong sinasabi niya na siya ay biktima ng persikusyon. Q: Okay, maiba naman ako ng usapin, Sec. Sonny. Ang atin pong mga kababayan sa ilang bahagi ng Mindanao ay patuloy pa rin pong nakakaranas ng masamang panahon at iyong mga areas pong iba ay may pagbaha at landslides. Kumusta po ang pagtugon ng ating mga iba’t ibang ahensiya ng pamahalan para matugunan, matulungan ang ating mga kababayan diyan po sa Mindanao, Secretary Coloma, sir? SEC. COLOMA: Iyon pong Tropical Depression Agaton ay wala na po ‘no; bumalik na po sa low pressure area, iyong dahilan nang patuloy na pag-ulan sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng Mindanao at sa ilang lalawigan sa Visayas. Ang National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council at ang mga lokal na unit po nito na pinangungunahan ng mga alkalde ng mga bayan at lungsod ay patuloy na tinututukan ang sitwasyon; lahat po ng mga dapat na ilikas ay nailikas na at binibigyan po ng ayuda iyong mga nasa temporary shelters. Q: Opo, at siyempre dahil diyan ‘no, isa rin sa mga dahilan nang pagtatalaga ng January 20, iyon pong kahapon bilang National Day of Prayer ay para ipakita ang pagkakaisa ng mga Pilipino sa paghingi ng guidance at ng lakas sa Panginoon, ano ho, para patuloy na malagpasan ang mga sakunang humataw sa ating bansa noong nakaraang taon, Secretary Coloma, sir? SEC. COLOMA: Ganoon nga, Alan, at naging mainam pong karanasan para sa buong bansa na masaksihan iyong pagsasama ng iba’t ibang pananampalataya. At ang Pangulo mismo po ang nanguna sa panalangin sa Poong Maykapal para po sa pag-alala ng mga nasawi nung mga nakaraang kalamidad at para humingi po ang bansa ng pamamatnubay ng Diyos sa ating pagharap sa kinabukasan. Q: Okay, isang bagay pa po, Secretary Sonny. Talagang simula pa lang ng taon ay nakahanay na itong iba’t ibang mga infrastructure projects, kagaya po nitong Stage 3 ng Skyway. Mukhang pangungunahan po ng Pangulong Noy ang paglulunsad o ang launching mismo nitong Stage 3 Project ng Skyway para higit na mapabilis at mas maging maginhawa ang paglalakbay ng mga kababayan natin, sir? SEC. COLOMA: Isa po iyan sa mga prayoridad na programa ng ating Pangulo at ng pamahalaan. At ito po ay malaki ang magiging epekto sa pagpapahusay ng daloy ng mga sasakyan at paglalakbay ng mga mamamayan, kaya po binibigyan po ito nang mataas na prayoridad ng ating Pangulo. Q: Sec. Sonny, baka meron pa po kayong nais na ipabatid sa ating mga kababayan na nakikinig nationwide at worldwide sa pamamagitan po ng www.pbs.gov.ph. Please go ahead, Sec. Sonny, sir? SEC. COLOMA: Dapat lang po sigurong mag-focus po ang ating bayan sa pagpapatupad ng mga mahahalagang programa na makakatulong sa pag-asenso ng ating bansa habang inaasikaso po natin iyong pagbabagong-tatag ng mga kumunidad na nasalanta ng lindol at ng bagyo para po makabangon muli ang ating mga kababayan sa mga lugar ng kalamidad. Q: Okay, Secretary Sonny Coloma, sir. Salamat po ng marami for the updates mula sa Malacañang. SEC. COLOMA: Maraming salamat, Alan. |

DOTC celebrates 115th anniversary with start of 2 major infra projects |
Source: http://www.dotc.gov.ph |
The Department
of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) celebrates its 115th
founding anniversary this week with the start of two (2) major
infrastructure projects: the Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 (MMS 3)
project and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1
Rehabilitation. “We are very happy to celebrate the DOTC’s anniversary with the start these major works. These are our gifts to the public,” said DOTC Secretary Joseph Emilio Aguinaldo Abaya. A groundbreaking ceremony for the P 26.59 Billion MMS 3 project was held today, 22 January 2014. This project entails a 14.82-kilometer, mostly 6-lane elevated highway extension of the Skyway from Buendia, Makati to Balintawak, Quezon City. It is expected to decongest traffic on EDSA and other major thoroughfares in the metropolis by about 55,000 vehicles daily, and cut travel time from Buendia to Balintawak from almost two (2) hours to only twenty (20) minutes. Construction will begin in April 2014, and will be completed by April 2017. Another major project is the much-awaited P 1.3 Billion NAIA-1 Rehab, which is also beginning this week. This project involves the structural retrofitting, improvement of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire (MEPF) protection facilities, and architectural works of the decades-old terminal building. D.M. Consunji, Inc., which was awarded the contract to undertake the rehabilitation works by the transport agency last December, will have until January 2015 to complete the project. This will mean that over the course of its implementation, certain areas of the terminal building will be closed for renovation. These closures will be done in six (6) phases of sixty (60) days each, and will be overseen by the DOTC and directly supervised by the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA). Preparations are now underway at NAIA Terminal 1, with affected concessionaires already clearing the area covered by Phase 1 of the project. Passengers will feel its impact beginning tomorrow, 23 January 2014, when the initial areas will be boarded up and actual rehabilitation works begin. “We appeal for patience and cooperation from passengers taking Terminal 1. These minor inconveniences will result in a much-improved NAIA, with better facilities and services for the public, in a year’s time,” added Abaya. |

DTI launches e-payment for business name registration |
Source: http://www.dti.gov.ph |
The Department
of Trade and Industry (DTI) introduces the electronic payment
(e-payment) facility for business name registration on January 20 to
make it easier for entrepreneurs to start a business in the
Philippines. “In assuring entrepreneurs of an enabling business environment, the government is gathering institutions and partners from the private sector to work on key reform areas in line with President Aquino\'s policy thrust anchored on good governance and transparency,” DTI Secretary Gregory L. Domingo said. “The e-payment facility for business name registration is one of the projects that the DTI is implementing to simplify the process of dealing with the government as entrepreneurs start and run their businesses,” Domingo added. Domingo said that the DTI’s goal is to make the Philippines a favorable environment for both foreign and local businesses to flourish. “In launching this facility, we enable enhanced delivery of services to the business community and further encourage economic activity in the country,” Domingo said. DTI Undersecretary for Management Services Nora K. Terrado noted that after migrating the Enhanced Business Name Registration System (eBNRS) and Philippine Business Registry System (PBRS) to the cloud environment in 2013, the DTI enhanced these systems to make them robust for additional functionalities and services such as the e-payment facility. “With this e-payment facility in place, entrepreneurs can apply and renew their business name without going to the DTI offices, and enjoy the convenience of paying the applicable fees online through their computers or mobile phones,” Terrado said. “This facility will further reduce the steps of business name registration since sole proprietors can now apply online through the BNRS website at bnrs.dti.gov.ph. In less than 15 minutes, they can complete the registration; moreover, they can opt to download and print their business name certificates,” Terrado said. Terrado added that registering a business name can also be done online through the PBRS website at business.gov.ph where entrepreneurs can also avail of other government-related services such as Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) validation and/or creation with the Bureau of Internal Revenue and application of Employer’s Registration Number (ERN) with Pag-IBIG Fund, PhilHealth and Social Security System (SSS) in less than 40 minutes. Through this e-payment facility, entrepreneurs may register their business name without the need to visit the DTI office if payments are done by electronic means. Currently, the DTI has enlisted both Globe’s GCash and Bancnet for this ePayment facility. The e-payment facility was made possible in partnership with BancNet, Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), Globe Xchange, Inc. (GXI) and Landbank of the Philippines (LBP). GCash is an internationally acclaimed micropayment service that transforms one’s mobile phone into a virtual wallet for secure, fast, and convenient money transfers at the speed and cost of a text message, while Bancnet is the country’s largest electronic banking consortium with 113 members and affiliates. Bancnet is also a multi-bank multi-channel electronic payment network enabling payments for its automated teller machine (ATM) cardholders via ATM, point-of-sale terminal, internet, and mobile. DBP is the premier development financial institution in the Philippines while Land Bank of the Philippines is a government focused in promoting countryside development. “Today, business name registration for sole proprietorship can now be done end-to-end electronically. We are optimistic that this will help boost the number of business name registrations and the percentage of online transactions at DTI,” Terrado added. Last year, the DTI registered 335,266 new and renewing business names. Of this, a total of 41,658 new and existing business names were through the Philippine Business Registry. |

Baby dugong's death tied to enteritis |
Source: http://www.denr.gov.ph |
A preliminary
necropsy showed that enteritis or inflammation of the intestinal
tract may be the cause of death for the baby dugong named “Binu”
that died at the rescue center of Manila Ocean Park (MOP) last
Sunday. This was according to Director Theresa Mundita Lim of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB), who cited the initial findings of the animal autopsy conducted on Monday by experts from the bureau and MOP, and volunteer-experts from Japan. “The lesions noted during the post-mortem examination conducted on Binu on January 20, 2014 were indicative of enteritis,” Lim said. “Organ or tissue samples have been collected for further laboratory testing to fully determine the cause of death.” Lim said a more thorough examination of the dugong would determine if its illness was bacterial or viral in nature. While at the rescue center, Binu was fed with milk – a combination of infant formula and soy milk – which was the same formula used in the past to save newborn dugongs. Such formula was proven effective to wean the dugong and introduce it to its known diet of seagrass. Binu died 10 days after it was rescued in Infanta, Quezon. Its remains are kept in a freezer at MOP. Lim said there is a plan to preserve the dugong’s skeletal structure for educational purposes. |

Alcala opens Ambalgan RPC for high quality rice |
Source: http://www.da.gov.ph |
Agriculture
Secretary Proceso J. Alcala inaugurated the P32.2-million
rice-processing center (RPC) in Ambalgan, Sto. Niño, South Cotabato
on January 17, 2014 as part of the government’s commitment to
provide high quality rice to the Filipino people. During the ceremony, Alcala stressed that the Department is eager in improving the quality of local rice thru the provision of a grain processing and storage facilities. He added that the Ambalgan RPC, which gives farmers’ access to postharvest facilities during bad weather conditions, is part of the priority project of the Aquino administration. To enable a more satisfactory operation and allow the users to import their rice products, the Secretary committed additional components including a rice sorter, a packing machine and a delivery truck unit. Once fully operational, the RPC to be managed by the Firmus Farm Service Cooperative, will benefit more than 5,000 farmers. Its target areas cover 10,000 hectares of rice farms in Sto. Nino, as well as other rice-producing municipalities nearby. “These efforts seek to improve the rice sector amidst negative issues on rice smuggling which the government is extensively investigating,” Alcala said. In earlier interviews, the Agriculture Secretary stressed that DA has been firmly upholding the Agriculture Tarrification Act which imposes import restrictions on farm products. “For as long as the Act is in effect, rice traders need to obtain permits from the National Food Authority (NFA) before shipping rice into the country or else these shipments would be considered as smuggled and seized upon arrival,” he added. Alcala also said that despite not reaching 100% sufficiency in rice, the rice sector was able to increase from 82% in 2010 to 97% last year. He explained that the target was not achieved because of the varied weather conditions that affected harvesting in the last quarter of the year. However, he assured that despite the 3% shortfall, the country remains to have sufficient rice stocks in the market and NFA warehouses. “Hindi na po siguro masama na nasa 97% sufficiency level na po tayo,” he disclosed, emphasizing that the level is 11% more than its level three years ago. |

TESDA, FFCCCI to build 'green' center |
Source: http://www.tesda.gov.ph |
Plans are
underway for the construction of the first green building of the
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) that
will put it in the country's green map. The two-story structure, with an approximate floor area of 1,000 square meters, is a joint project between TESDA and the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FFCCCI), which will not only provide trainees an eco-friendly learning venue, but also teach and expose them to the best practices on environmental protection and preservation. TESDA and FFCCCI signed a Memorandum of Agreement on January 21 to kick off the project that will be erected in the TESDA national headquarters in Taguig. FFCCCI will provide the funds for the building, and will spearhead the conceptualization of its design and project management. "The TESDA Green Innovation Technology Center will be the new hub for various technical vocational education and training programs. We are grateful to our private partners for investing in this idea that is finally coming into fruition," Secretary Joel Villanueva, TESDA director general, said. "FFCCCI's donation to TESDA means that there’s a growing trust and confidence from the private sector on technical vocational education and training or tech-voc. It also means that the high satisfaction of our employers to the performance of TESDA graduates has been sustained," he added. The Center, Villanueva said, is envisioned to be "a campus of ideas and resources towards environmental innovation and stewardship." It will showcase different green technology programs such as the solar-powered lightings, bio-mass technology, engineered bamboo (e-bamboo), and advanced agricultural crop production technologies such as hydroponics and organic vegetable production using drip irrigation, the use of rain water and waste water (water recycling) to support the agricultural crop production technologies. "TESDA has been promulgating training regulations, which can be used to train the needed manpower for renewable energy while our training institutions nationwide have undertaken initiatives in green technology. Although many things are still to be harnessed in a more holistic manner, TESDA partners have a lot to offer to learn from," he said. In the Philippines, green growth is gaining momentum as more private corporations and government offices look for headquarters that are eco-friendly. A number of building owners are slowly retrofitting and upgrading their structures to improve energy efficiency and environmental performance. "We spend a third or maybe one half of our time every day in the office, which makes it among the biggest users of water and electricity, straining even more the environment because of the need for energy supply," Villanueva said. "The good news is technological innovations have offered us something that allows us to combine development, adaptation, recycling and reusing, and TESDA is embarking on this with its first green center," he said. TESDA also recently partnered with My Shelter Foundation for the production of solar night lights that has a solar-powered LED, which uses locally available materials such as plastic bottles. The light uses solar energy to power the lamp that will illuminate the bottle at night. TESDA has conducted trainers training on the assembly of the solar night lights. The training is now being replicated by the trainers in their respective regions. TESDA has also adopted the training cum production approach to produce solar night lights that the agency distributed in the communities damaged by typhoon Yolanda. |

Source: http://www.bsp.gov.ph |
The Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and the Philippine Deposit Insurance
Corporation (PDIC) have approved the extension of the Strengthening
Program for Rural Banks (SPRB) Plus from 31 December 2013 to 31
December 2014 with certain amendments and enhancements, to encourage
more mergers, consolidations and acquisition of eligible rural banks
(RBs) and thrift banks (TBs) by strategic third party investors (STPIs). Among the approved amendments and enhancements include the relaxation of the required ownership control in an eligible bank by an eligible STPI to at least 60% (from at least 67%) of the outstanding capital stock of the eligible bank to align with the provisions of BSP Circular No. 809 dated 23 August 2013 on the rules and regulations implementing R.A. No. 10574 (An Act Allowing the Infusion of Foreign Equity in the Capital of Rural Banks, Amending R.A. No. 7353, Otherwise known as “The Rural Banks Act of 1992”). The financial assistance (FA) from PDIC may now also be in the form of either a combination of Preferred Shares (PS) and Direct Loan, or Direct Loan (DL) only. Furthermore, as support to banks affected by typhoon Yolanda, the amount of the PS component of the PDIC FA is increased from 50 percent to 100 percent of the required additional capital to restore the eligible bank’s capital adequacy ratio to a minimum 10 percent. The SPRB Plus, which is a joint project of the BSP and the PDIC, is an enhanced version of the original SPRB which was launched in 2010 exclusively for rural banks (RBs). In furtherance of the objectives of SPRB Module I and to promote participation under the Program, its scope was broadened and enhancements were made under the SPRB Plus such as inclusion of TBs, in addition to RBs, as among the eligible banks as well as the inclusion of TBs, universal and commercial banks (UKBs), non-bank corporations and group of companies as eligible STPIs. With the exception of STPI UKBs and banking groups which can only avail of incentives from the BSP without the financial assistance component, all other eligible STPIs, including non-bank corporations which are not subsidiaries of UKBs, may avail of both the FA and the incentives consisting of regulatory reliefs and branching/other incentives. The SPRB Plus aims to strengthen the banking system and to minimize bank closures. As of 31 December 2013, five (5) merger/consolidation applications involving ten (10) banks have been approved by the PDIC and are being processed by the BSP. Moreover, there are two (2) other applications for consolidation/acquisition that are in the pipeline. |

Baldoz orders DOLE regional directors to mount sustained information campaign on guidelines on DOLE, DILG, DND, DOJ, AFP, and PNP conduct in labor disputes |

Baldoz orders DOLE regional directors to mount sustained information campaign on guidelines on DOLE, DILG, DND, DOJ, AFP, and PNP conduct in labor disputes Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz yesterday reiterated the set of a guidelines to be observed by all members, personnel, and officers of identified government agencies and units during a labor dispute, or in any exercise of workers’ and trade unions’ rights, directing all DOLE regional directors to mount a sustained information campaign on the guidelines and to work closely with units or regional offices of the Departments of Interior and Local Government, National Defense, Justice, and the Armed Forces of the Philippines and Philippine National Police for its strict implementation and observance. “Decent work includes healthy and effective exercise of workers’ and trade union rights and to make sure that these are recognized and realized, the DOLE, together with the concerned government agencies and partners, have agreed to a set of guidelines prescribing the conduct of government officers and personnel during such activities,” Baldoz said. "There is a need to familiarize the public and all concerned about the guidelines, for them to become aware of it, and for the concerned on how to implement it. Being the lead advocate for decent work and respect for the freedom of association, it is our responsibility to guard and protect the workers’ and trade unionists’ rights," she added. The labor and employment chief said the Philippines is fortunate to have the guidelines, but the important challenge is to make sure that it is widely disseminated and properly implemented and observed. Baldoz also renewed her standing order for the existing regional structure of the National TIPC-Monitoring Body and the Regional TIPC-Monitoring Body to ensure observance of the guidelines at the local level by engaging in the regional implementation and monitoring the respective regional Human Rights Offices/Officers of the AFP and the PNP, as well as the regional officer of the Commission on Human Rights. Signed in May 2012, the Guidelines on the Conduct of the DOLE, DILG, DND, DOJ, AFP, and PNP Relative to the Exercise of Workers’ Rights and Activities aims to address violence and threats against workers and trade unionists, including the reports and/or allegations of militarization of workplaces and impunity. The said guidelines governs the official conduct of personnel and officers of the above-mentioned agencies, including the AFP’s CAFGU Active Auxiliaries (CAAs) and the Special CAFGU Active Auxiliaries (SCAAs); the PNP’s Supervisory Office for Security and Investigation Agency (SOSIA); and Barangay Tanod/Public Safety Officers. It is applicable to all cases of exercise of workers’ rights, particularly freedom of association, collective bargaining, concerted actions, and other trade union activities in relation to the involvement and mobilization of the members of the AFP, the PNP, the local chief executives, company security personnel, security guards, and barangay tanod. The guidelines provide that labor disputes are under the primary and sole jurisdiction of DOLE and/or its appropriate agencies and that members of the AFP, PNP, and other law enforcement agencies, including barangay tanod and company security agency or personnel may not intervene in them except when expressly requested in writing by the DOLE; or when a criminal act has been committed, is being committed, or is about to be committed; or in cases of actual violence arising out of a labor dispute. Presence of AFP personnel or units in a workplace where strike, picketing, or lockout has been and in progress should only be based on a security situation, and only to extend support to the PNP; or, in the extreme situation when no other law enforcement agency in the area is available to maintain peace, order, and security; provide security for both workers and management; prevent violence or its escalation; and prevent the commission of crimes. A PNP peace-keeping team or Civil Disturbance Unit shall be assigned in a picket, strike, or lockout area when requested in writing by the DOLE or the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), pursuant to the provisions of the Joint DOLE-PNP-PEZA Guidelines in the Conduct of PNP Personnel, Economic Zone Police and Security Guards, Company Security Guards and Similar Personnel During Labor Disputes, but their involvement shall be limited to the maintenance of peace and order, enforcement of laws, and implementation of legal orders of duly constituted authorities. They shall also stay at least in a 50-meter radius away from the picket, strike, or lockout area and shall be, at all times, in proper uniform and with properly displayed nameplate. "The AFP and the PNP must observe maximum tolerance at all times," the guidelines provides. It also provide that local chief executives and their authorized representatives may assist in settling any labor dispute in their areas of jurisdiction, but it should be in coordination with DOLE and/or its Regional Offices. The guidelines also prescribed penalties in case that any of the provisions of the guidelines was violated. “Labor rights are human rights. We should respect it. Workers and employers have the right to life, liberty, and property and enjoy the right to political dissent within the bounds of law,” Baldoz ended. |

Press statement on Sen. Bong Revilla's privilege speech |
Source: http://www.dilg.gov.ph |
Naiintindindihan ko kung bakit galit si Sen. Bong Revilla sa mundo.
Mahirap ang sitwasyon niya na may testigong at COA documents
nagapapatunay ng koneksyon niya sa Napoles scam. Pero hindi solusyon
sa problema niya ang paglilihis ng isyu, pagbaluktot sa katotohanan
at panloloko ng tao.
Sagutin na lamang niya ang mga sinabi
ng mga testigo laban sa kanya at ipaliwanag na lamang niya ang mga dokumentong nag-uugnay sa kanya sa Napoles scam. Sa isyu naman ng pagpupulong nila ni Pangulong P-Noy, natural sa Pangulo na humarap sa matataas na opisyal ng bayan. Dati kaming magkasama ni Senator Bong sa Senado kaya nang iparating niya na mayroon siyang gustong i-take-up sa Pangulo kasama ang Cityhood ng Bacoor at ang kanyang pagiging Pangulo ng Partido Lakas, gumawa ako ng paraan para magkausap sila. Noong oras na iyon, wala sa Malakanyang at nasa Bahay Pangarap ang Pangulo. Para matugunan ang reglamento ng PSG at hindi na maaberya si Senator Bong, ako na ang nagmaneho ng sasakyan papunta sa Bahay Pangarap. Tungkol naman sa isyu ng plaka, kasinungalingan ang sinabi niya na tinanggal ko ang plaka ng sasakyan ko bago kami pumunta sa Bahay Pangarap. Hindi talaga ako gumagamit ng official plate. Hindi ito nakakabit sa sasakyan ko. Ang ginagamit ko ay ang regular na plaka na iniisyu ng LTO. Kahit na sino ang nakakakilala sa akin nang matagal, hindi ako gumamit nang otso na plaka noong kongresman , siyete noong senador at sais nang Cabinet Secretary. Hindi ko nakaugalian na ikabit ito sa aking sasakyan. |

Oil monitor as of 21 January 2014 |
Source: http://www.doe.gov.ph |
Global crude
oil prices were mixed but analysts believe sentiment would continue
to be boosted by expectations of higher world economic growth. The price increase seen during the week was attributable in part to a sharper-than-expected reduction in US crude stocks and in part to significantly rising equity markets. Oil price uptick also came after the World Bank upgraded its 2014 forecast for global economic growth, indicating a potential improvement in oil demand. However, the underlying trend was generally downward given ample supply of the market and expectation of growing output from Libya and Iran. For petroleum products, Asian gasoline market remained largely steady, supported by expectations of stable demand-supply balance in February, with steady demand from Indonesia and Vietnam. Platts underscored that gains in the regional market have been capped by sustained strength in the East/West spread that keeps open the possibility of higher inflows of barrels into Singapore from India and Japan. Meanwhile, a supply glut continued to affect the Asian gasoil/diesel market this week, as the region dealt with increased exports of middle distillates from Japan, a shut arbitrage to Europe and lackluster demand within Asia. Weak domestic demand in Japan has led to local refiners cutting crude runs and raising exports of middle distillates. Overall, Dubai crude decreased week-on-week by about US$1.20/bbl. Similarly, MOPS diesel and gasoline decreased by about US$1.10/bbl and US$0.30/bbl. FOREX: Week-on-week value of Peso against the US dollar depreciated by P0.16 to P44.89, from P44.73 in previous week.
