Afewmeters from the Sinsuat Ave. high way down Pansacala St is a cozy red-white and blue eating place named Kai’s Lounge. The hubby and I have been going around places to have our snacks, or dinner or take outs. It has been 3 years since I have taken over the kitchen for lack of helpers, as in many other households. Bless chef Tony who delivers our lunch, prepared as a true gourmet would; and we can always rely on Reese with their inimitable baby back ribs, puchero, crispy tadyang, pinangat pompano, and many more.

It seems this red-white-blue watering hole is a favourite of the younger sets who prefer the informal setting, the not so pricy choices in the menu, and relaxing ambiance, with piped in music, toned down. The lounge is another thematic diner, reminiscent of US movies, American heroes , artists and actors.

under-privileged. For God Himself commanded – Not to be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21).

Let’s nurture among the youths the fear of the LORD, especially so when reports came out that 24K MILF combatants out of the estimated 40K have successfully been decommissioned in the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Friends from the MILF and all other former armed rebels should take it to heart. That whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for God-sake will find it (Matthew 16:25). And corollary to it, the LORD said: Do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear God who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell (Matthew 10:28).

In the first week of May, a US-based journalist Joe Pinkstone of the Telegraph wrote in his article that scientists reported to have witnessed what the end of the world could have looked like. They said as people want to know the time and nature of their own demise, the fate of planet earth is sealed. In the span of five billion years, it will likely be engulfed by the sun and devoured by a stellar inferno.

This article brings us back to the biblical prophesy of the Great Tribulation that such has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the electsake, those days will be shortened (Matthew 24:21-22).

When Christ was asked when will this Great Tribulation be? He said: “For the precise day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels from heaven, but My Father only. As the days of Noah, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. As in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be (Matthew 24:36-39).

With all these trials and predicaments in life, don’t panic nor be anxious about it, but instead allow God to be closer to our hearts. A reminiscent of crooner Matt Monroe’s “You’re Closer

It is a refreshing change from the usual or ordinary diners.

The menu consists of choices of known Chicken recipes, pasta, fish and shrimp dishes. Dine-in or take out or delivery are part of their services. While we were enjoying our cheeseburger , pancake, mais con yelo, a group of happily chattering ladies came in in their best garments. I learned they just came from the graduation of the apple of everybody’s eyes, the only daughter of Bai Oldie Boldie Mentang and hubby.

All the dotiing aunts, and many family members enjoyed their get together in the privacy of the second floor. Bai Aleeyah Mustapha graduated with the degree of Master in Public Administration from the Saint Benedict College of Cotabato Inc. Notably in attendance were the graduate’s father and the indomitable uncle, Manny Balabaran.

Good to see you Manny after all these years. You’ve come a long way man, from a bright, active young Chemistry student of mine, to a respectable leader of your community. Proud of you, Manny, may your tribe increase.

a global health threat. Salvaña noted that the public health emergency status for Covid-19 in the country has not been renewed since January.

Manila

– The coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic has not ended yet and people must continue to protect themselves, a health expert said Monday.

In a televised public briefing, infectious disease expert Edsel Salvaña clarified that the World Health Organization’s lifting of the global emergency status for Covid-19 does not mean the coronavirus has ceased to exist.

“Iyong Covid, nandiyan pa, pero natuto na tayong mabuhay nang malaya, iyong hindi tayo nagtatago sa ating mga bahay (Covid is still there, but we have learned to live freely, we no longer hide in our homes),” he said.

Covid-19 cases may rise but hospitals are not overwhelmed by admissions as transmission of the virus is prevented by vaccination and other health protocols such as wearing of face mask, he added.

On Friday, the WHO ended the global emergency status for Covid-19 but it did not announce that the disease is no longer

“Titingnan natin kung iyong mga natitira pa nating mga restriction ay maaaring dahan-dahan na nating i-trim down katulad diyan iyong mga quarantine, iyong mga isolation, iyong mga pagre-require ng mga vaccination in certain areas, nakikita natin. For instance, hindi nga tayo nagtse-check ng mga vaccine card doon sa mga incoming travelers. (We’ll see if our remaining restrictions can be slowly trimmed down like the quarantine, isolation, vaccination requirement in certain areas. For instance, we see that we no longer check vaccination cards for incoming travelers),” he said.

The Department of Health will meet with the Inter-Agency Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases to discuss and reassess policies and other guidelines concerning Covid-19.

As of March 20, more than 78.4 million have been fully vaccinated, more than 23.8 million have received first booster doses and almost 4.4 million got second booster shots.

Oneof the peculiarities of doing business in the Philippines (and probably in other less developed countries) is the high number of establishments operating without securing or complying with the requirements of registrations with various government agencies and local government units (LGUs). Various government agencies and local government units have taken cognizance of this seeming “anomaly” and have undertaken information drive to persuade the “informal” business firms to legitimize their operation.

Why do many enterprises refuse or do not bother to register their firm and gain legitimacy?

The basic legal requirements for an individual or a group to operate a business include establishing a legal identity. This means securing a business name from the Department of Trade and Industry (Ministry of Trade, Investment, and Tourism in the BARMM), registration as partnership or corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or registration of a cooperative with the Cooperative and Development Authority (Cooperative and Social Enterprise Authority in the BARMM).

In the case of cooperatives, the members and officers are required to undergo a series of training on topics such as cooperative governance, conflict resolution, financial management, among others. Only CDAaccredited trainers or personnel of the CDA itself are permitted to conduct these mandatory training.

After proper registration with the DTI, SEC, or CDA, a business entity must also register with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and secure a business permit with the local government where it has its principal business address. Business firms need also to register with the Department of Labor, PhilHealth, Social Security System, and the Home Development Mutual Fund (or Pag-Ibig) for the social benefits of their workers.

Additionally, certain types of business operations may require registration with specialized agencies of the government (such as the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board for those in the construction business or the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas for money changers, pawnshops, and lending institutions).

Under the procurement rules and regulations of the Philippine Government, only companies that are registered with the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System or Phil-GEPs are qualified to enter into contract for works, supply of goods, and provision of services to government agencies and local government units.

The registration of an enterprise to obtain legal identity and to be able do business legitimately entail time and money. Some business owners have probably weighed the pros and cons of registering their business entity and ascertained that remaining “informal” is more beneficial.

In the case of cooperatives, some people joke that complying with the mandatory training will deplete their capital contribution that they would end up as a “legitimate” business entity but with insufficient money to conduct a meaningful level of operation.

It is best that all entities doing business in the Philippines should have a legal identity and comply with all mandated registration and accreditation required by law. However, if the challenges faced by enterprises (especially the smaller ones) are not considered by policy makers and regulatory agencies, the legitimization effort would remain as an uphill battle.

If compliance would remain burdensome in terms of documentary requirements, costs, and time-consuming, the present situation (many businesses opting to remain “informal”) will continue to persist.

The establishment of “one-stop shops”, usually an initiative of local government units, helps encourage some firms to go “formal” but more reforms are needed. Registration requirements must be lessened, processing time shortened, and costs reduced.

Mother’s Day special: DJF, ICRC help mother regain footing, income .. .from P1

overcome by anger and then depression. She says she felt like a burden to her family and useless as a mother.

Her struggles was worsen by the ridicule she faced for using crutches and limping. “I felt all eyes on me whenever I stepped out or attended Mass. People would say, ‘Here comes the cripple.’ It was painful. I wanted to end my suffering, but I thought of my family and held on,” she says.

Josie says her husband was her steady support. “I never felt his affection fade and never feared that he would abandon me because of my disability. My husband reminded me that I was not alone and that I should be grateful that I was still alive,” she says.

With her husband’s support, Josie decided to keep pushing on in life. She also kept going to church and prayed for a happy and productive life.

Renewed hope

In 2018, life took a turn during a visit to a doctor with her husband when a provincial social worker asked Josie if she wanted to walk without crutches. The social worker explained that the right kind of prosthetics could help her be independent and told her about a program at Davao Jubilee Foundation (DJF) that helps victims of armed conflict.

The DJF program, sponsored by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), provides custom-fabricated mobility devices to people affected by armed conflicts. The ICRC provides partial funding for DJF’s physical rehabilitation services besides providing food items and transportation facilities for beneficiaries.

Josie was skeptical but she also wanted to give it a shot. “I was tired of using crutches, so I called the social worker and we visited DJF’s office,” she says.

Health-care professionals at DJF said her legs were not of the same length and fitted her with orthoprosthesis. As Josie learned to walk with her new mobility device, she felt a second chance at life begins. “I hadn’t thought I would ever walk again without crutches. I sobbed uncontrollably at the possibility of moving around comfortably and doing household chores by myself,” she says.

Regaining her confidence a step at a time, Josie opened a small (sari-sari) store through the ICRC’s Microeconomic Initiatives project. The program provides grants to help conflict-affected people in Mindanao to start or revive their own businesses and generate income.

“The sari-sari store gives me something significant to do every day and brings income to help the family. We were able to celebrate the baptism of my youngest child and my grandchild. We couldn’t have managed it with just my husband’s salary,” she says. “I want to go up on stage and proudly hang a medal on my son’s neck one day. I want to be there for him now that I can walk without the help of crutches,” Josie says.

Exploring new ideas

Josie is now exploring ways to improve her business and ensure that customers keep coming back to her store. “When I set up the store there was no competition but now three of my neighbors have also opened their own stores. So, I encourage my customers to hang around near my store and enjoy some conversations over small bites. The longer they stay, the more snacks they buy,” she says, smiling.

Levelling up her game even more, she is also offering Wi-Fi services to customers for a fee and plans to sell gasoline too. “I used to think I was useless and I didn’t know what to do. But I have realized that I must strive hard for my children. There are people who love me unconditionally and give me a reason to not give up,” says Josie.

Grateful for the help that she received from DJF and the ICRC, Josie has been telling others of the support that is available.

“I saw two people using crutches and told them about the physical rehabilitation services they can get at DJF because I know how hard it can be. I even went with one of them to DJF. It is not enough that I am now able to walk, I must also help others like me,” she says.

No longer ashamed

Josie has one more dream – to see her children graduate from school. “I have no legacy to leave for them except their education. I encourage my son, who has been consistently passing with honours, to keep up his good work. It is my dream to walk up on stage for his graduation. Previously,

I used to refuse to go on stage when he received an award because I was ashamed of my crutches. Now, I want to proudly celebrate his success,” she Josie, adding, “I have found my confidence. I am no longer ashamed.”

"Our hope is that the public markets that we are establishing in various parts of the BARMM will generate economic opportunities and jobs, as well as accelerate development," he added.
