Uptown C. de Oro: the greener CDO By Cesar Stefan Rago
Most of the action is happening in downtown Cagayan de Oro, but should you consider moving to the uptown area? Here are some reasons why this could be the best move for your family. 1.Flood-free zone We have been challenged last 2009, 2011 and 2013 by traumatizing typhoons. It
was a call-to-action for all of us to put a stop in whatever ways we contribute to the change of climate that happened to disastrously change our lives. Uptown Cagayan de Oro is 110 meters above sea level making it a perfectly flood-free location. With the abundance of lush greeneries, it’s a lot less worries for your family and more ways See uptown, page B3

DTI sets trade exposition in Zambo City
Z
AMBOANGA City - The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is holding a four-day trade fair in this city that will feature this region’s finest products. Dr. Sitti Amina Jain, DTI regional director, said the fair dubbed as the 2014 Zamboanga Peninsula Trade Exposition (ZAMPEX) will be held Oct. 8-11. She said the ZAMPEX 2014 is a great venue for local businessmen to promote their products that will be identified with the Zamboanga Peninsula. Jain said at least 90 ex-
hibitors – coming from the region, other Mindanao regions, and foreign neighbors like Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia – will showcase various products, including food and handicrafts. She said ZAMPEX 2014 will also feature a garden show care of the local government, business matching with prospect buyers from Home Accents Group of the Philippines (HAPI), Philippine Chamber of Handicraft, Inc. (PCHI), Phil Food Processors and Exporters Organization,
Inc. (PHILFOODEX), and the Integrated Food Manufacturers Association of the Philippines (INFOMAP) invited. She said techno demo will also be held for interested individuals or groups who wish to start their own businesses aside from the exhibits. She said the techno demo will run on Oct. 9-11 with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) taking charge of the NutriFood demos, which include coconut and squash products on Oct. 9; the
Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology (ZSCMST) will demo on seaweeds and bottled sardines while the Department of Agriculture will handle cooking demo on organic banana and “mamon preciosa” on Oct. 10. The Philippine Fiber Industry Development Authority (PhilFIDA) will showcase abaca rope and bag making on Oct. 11. Jain said that a seminar on franchising is set to be held on Oct. 9. ZAMPEX 2014 is an initiative of the DTI regional
IPOPHL to accredit PRSP as CMO
The Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL), an attached agency of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), recently received a new application from the Performers’ Rights Society of the Philippines (PRSP) for accreditation as Collective Management Organization (CMO). PRSP formally submitted their documentary requirements to the IPOPHL for accreditation as CMO to help the performer enforce his rights under Republic Act No. 8293 or the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines, as amended (IP Code). Performers, as defined by Section 202 of the IP Code, are the actors, singers, musicians, dancers, and other persons who act, sing, declaim, play in, interpret, or otherwise perform literary and artistic work.
In the PRSP context, performers derive their income from performing in their various fields of expertise in culture. “PRSP is the group that will now handle the interest of performers whether it’s in songs or in movies. Now they are applying with us because they want to be a CMO,” IPOPHL Director General Ricardo Blancaflor explained, “This is a group that will start collecting royalties for its members and their target is the royalties that they can earn for their fellow actors and performers.” CMOs are organizations that enforce the copyright of the copyright holders. Through this mandate, IPOPHL will be able to monitor and promote good corporate governance among CMOs, benefitting not only the rights holders themselves but also the users of copy-
righted works. Members of the Philippine Retailers Association (PRA), mall owners, restaurants, and other heavy users of music in their establishments will greatly benefit from this provision, as they are ensured that only legitimate collecting agencies can collect royalties from them on behalf of copyright owners. “Once we accredit them (PRSP), they have the right to negotiate for the royalties of the performers. So instead of individual performers running after producers, it will be the organization that will do it for them,” Blancaflor added. As CMO, PRSP will initially release the collection directly to the performer once a year but as the operation progresses, distribution can be done twice or more in a year which will last for 50 years from the end of
the year in which the performances and recordings took place. “This will be our legacy to our fellow performers,” said John Lesaca, the PRSP’s Treasurer and Acting General Manager, as their organization strengthens the copyright protection of many Filipino artists. IPOPHL has already accredited the Filipinas Copyright Licensing Society (FILCOLS) and the Filipino Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (FILSCAP) as CMOs collecting fees for books and musical works, respectively. In a 2006 World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) study on copyright industries, it showed that Philippine copyright-based industries contribute 4.92 percent to the GDP and 11.1 percent to national employment of the country.

Senate wants hearing to present auto roadmap By Kris M. Crismundo
MANILA - The Senate C om m itte e on Tr a d e, Commerce, and Entrepreneurship, headed by Senator Paolo Benigno “Bam” Aquino IV, will file a resolution calling for a hearing to present the automotive roadmap with the stakeholders. Senator Aquino, during the opening of 5th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) in Pasay City Thursday, told reporters that he will call for a hearing to discuss the auto roadmap since the Congress has oversight function. “(We’ll) call for a hearing, ask DTI (Department of Trade and Industry) to present with CAMPI (Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc.) the current automotive roadmap then see if we need to have further process to improve it,” the Senator said. “But basically, the gist is to call for a hearing to present the automotive roadmap to the public also; to harmonize different policies,” he added. He explained that the hearing eyes to complement the auto roadmap to other plans like in infrastructure and transportation. “When it comes to the automotive industry, if you want the sector to create
more jobs for Filipinos, we need to make sure it is integrated with other plans for the rest of society. For example, the infrastructure plan needs to be integrated with the automotive roadmap,” Senator Aquino said. “Even if we are selling large volume of cars but our roads will be like a parking lot, then the automotive industry will not really grow,” he said in Filipino. “Maybe that’s my commitment to the members of CAMPI -- as chairman of trade -- we can look into this and see if these roadmaps are actually complementing each other rather than contradicting each other,” he added. The lawmaker said his office will file the resolution on Monday. The country’s automotive roadmap targets to give incentives to industry players who can meet the standards that the government will require. The DTI said the roadmap eyes to incentivize those who can meet the annual production of 40,000 units per model. However, the government has yet to conclude the final minimum production volume. The government also targets to give incentives to industry players who can invest in the local supply chain of the auto industry. (PNA)

Since it is away from the highly urban chaos of downtown CdO, the uptown area provides a place where we can experience living in a safe and sound environment.

gized in Rizal province has increased, specifically, Antipolo, Cainta, Baras, Binangonan, Cardona, Jala-jala, Morong, Teresa, Tanay, San Mateo, Pililla and Rodriguez. These areas were earlier reported to have severe flooding. Moreover, the area of Calamba, Los Banos, Binan and Sta. Rosa in Laguna also had power cuts. In the National Capital Region (NCR), the affected areas in Quezon City are: Balintawak, La
Loma, New Manila, San Francisco Del Monte, San Jose, Kamuning, Balintawak & Pugad Lawin. Earlier, Meralco said its crews are ready to attend to customers who had electrical problems. “Crews are on standby to attend to any trouble that may affect our facilities in areas that might be affected by severe flooding,” it said. Meralco also assured that the power supply will be restored in the event that the water subsides.
”We seek our customers’ understanding, and we assure that this is a safety measure and that power will be returned as soon as the waters subside,” it said. Meanwhile, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that Metro Manila, Laguna and Rizal will experience severe amounts of rainfall in the next 12 hours. With that, more power outages will likely take place. (PNA)
Filinvest Land Inc. (FLI) was cited by BCI Asia as one of the Top 10 Property Developers in the Philippines for 2014. The prestigious list features firms whose projects being constructed last year had the greatest total value. Now on its 10th year, the annual event was held
in seven Asian regions, including Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. It recognizes firms with the greatest volume of projects and encourages socially-responsible developments by including sustainability efforts in its criteria.
leum depot in Cagayan de Oro and construction of tourism-related facilities, said Clarete. The other top contributor to the total regional investments was Bukidnon contributing 27 percent with P1.42 billion, higher by 526 percent from the investments generated in the province in the same quarter last year.
Majority of the investments registered in Bukidnon were classified under the agri-based and consumer manufacturing sectors derived from the expansion of farm inputs of an oil palm plantation in the municipality of Kalilangan and an additional acquisition of a manufacturing company’s machineries and equipment.
Meantime, Lanao del Norte attracted a total of P262.58 million of investments while Misamis Occidental registered P102.90 million. Bulk of investments in Lanao del Norte were comprised of construction of an additional branch of cooperative in Iligan City, expansion of a resort and
development of contractors and real estate businesses, establishment of construction supply companies and water refilling station. Major investments in Misamis Occidental included construction of commercial buildings for leasing, establishment of overseas employment placement agency in Tangub
City, establishment of fuel station, and development of mini-crusher plant in Oroquieta City. Camiguin, on the other hand, posted P5.03 million mostly focused on tourismrelated services such as the development of new resort, establishment of new transportation, and tour-guiding services.

job opportunities to some 55,500 Filipinos. Relatively, the President said European investors now understand better the Philippines’ reason for bringing its territorial dispute with China before the United
Nations. He said European investors now have deeper appreciation on why the issue needs international arbitration. Last March, the government submitted a 4,000-
page memorial before the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) arbitral tribunal to explain its side and ownership on some islands in the West Philippine Sea. The memorial was made
after several instances wherein China’s coast guard prevented boats used by the Philippine government that will bring supplies to members of the Philippine Navy who were stationed at the Ayungin Shoal.
China has been claiming ownership to islands in the South China Sea and its issue with the Philippines is not unique as several other countries have the same territorial claims problem. (PNA)
