Farmers’ assistance

THE government has turned over more than P5.8 million worth of assistance to farmers belonging to 16 Irrigators Associations (IAs) in the Malitubog-Maridagao (MalMar) cluster of Carmen, Cotabato, according to the Department of Agriculture (DA).

In a DA statement released on Monday, the assistance includes P3.7 million worth of certified seeds and other assistance packages. Items turned over include corn seed, urea fertilizer, garden tools with vegetable seed, fruit tree seedlings, livestock and poultry, backpack sprayers, among others.

Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala was quoted in the statement as saying that farm association leaders in the region found their average palay yields rising significantly to 4.87 metric tons (MT) per hectare from 2.27 MT due to various government interventions.

Gender advocacy WITH the theme, “Kapakanan ni Juana, Isama sa Agenda (Include Women in the Agenda),” president of the the Gender Advocates in regionencourages women to voice out their issues upon the creation of the government’s development agenda in celebrating this year’s Women’s Month.

During the Philippine Information Agency- 10’s radio program, Lambo Dyes, on March 18, Natalie Igot, GA president, said that a ballot that contains five major women’s concerns is now disseminated and to be filled-out by women to ensure the progressive realization of women’s human rights.

The concerns include economic empowerment, social development, security, justice and peace, climate change and disaster risk reduction, and gender-responsive governance.

HE Department of Public Wo r k s a n d H i g h w a y (DPWH) will use as criteria for project identification the five development corridors that will strategically connect the key areas of production in Mindanao to industrial centers where seaports and airports are located, the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) said.

“Before, the identification of areas was done based on population. Now, it is more strategic and rational,” Maria Vilma Belches, Development Management Office 4 and OIC for Planning and Research Decision said.

The development corridors, a strategy aimed at making Mindanao “become selfreliant and internally dependable,” has five clusters – industrial trade, mariculture and trade, biodiveristy and eco-tourism, food basket, and food, agribusiness and logistics. roads/PAGE 11

“It is important that they learn basic life skills because these are some of the traits that employers look for when they hire workers,” he said.

He said many employers noticed during interviews that “job seekers to day cannot put across their ideas maybe because they are used to shortcut messages while communicating through social media”.

He said it is important that they develop these skills which they would need on the actual job.

PAL opens Manila-Doha route

P

H I L I P P I N E AIRLINES, Inc. (PAL) will mount today its regular flights to Doha, targeting the 200,000 overseas Filipinos in Qatar as the flag carrier continues to expand in the Middle East.

“The five times weekly service (Monday, Tuesday,

Thursday, Friday, Saturday) to Qatar’s capital city will utilize one of PAL’s newest aircraft, the Airbus 330,” the flag carrier said in a statement over the weekend.

Passengers can avail of economy and premium economy service. The whole cabin offers free wireless Internet for 30 minutes and 15

megabytes of video streaming using passengers’ personal devices.

“Following our successful launch to Jeddah and Kuwait last January, PAL continues to grow its routes in the Middle East by opening a new route to Doha in Qatar,” PAL President Jaime J. Bautista said in a statement.

“The new service will [ prov i d e ] t h e 2 0 0 , 0 0 0 Filipinos living and working in Qatar a convenient route to and from their motherland.”

At the same time, Qataris can also connect to the airline’s 30 domestic and 43 international destinations.

Gov’t prodded on firm policy toward slowdown of coal plant developments ANY plan to eventually curtail or slow down coal power plant developments in the countr y shall be correspondingly backed by a firm policy, hence, industry players have been prodding government to already come up with one if that is really its goal moving forward.

They stressed that investors cannot just stop pursuing blueprinted projects because of rhetoric coming from the so-called “green energy” quarters.

The Department of Energy (DOE) has been raising alarm bells on the seeming dominance of coal technology in the power mix. Yet in the same vein, it noted that a fuel mix policy reversing prevailing trend could only

be institutionalized via a legislated measure.

The department further noted though that such matter will already be lodged as a next concern of the next administration.

Energy Secretary Zenaida Y. Monsada has indicated to reporters previously that the department will opt for “cleaner coal technologies with lower emissions, so even as we have coal to meet our power requirements, it will still work on meeting our submitted contribution to the COP21” or the 21st Climate Change Conference of the Parties spearheaded by the United Nations.

She was referring to t he c ar b on re du c t i ons c o nt r i b u t i o n t h a t t h e

Philippines has submitted to the Paris climate global diplomacy under the sanctioned Intended Nationally D etermined Contributions (INDCs).

The energy chief early this month called for a meeting of coal power plant generators and coal miners, purposively to discuss standards to be enforced for the industry.

“Other than technology, we are also looking at stricter standards in terms of storage as well as transportation and distribution, like for example, they just deliver the coal and they have the stockpiles open,” she said.

Monsada added “we will be requiring that the conveyors will be covered – so that would also be a

requirement that we will impose.”

She qualified that the coal plant issues they have been scrutinizing are not just limited to power generation, “but even during the mining process and storage process.

So we’re having stricter standard on this to be heeded by the players.”

$665 for one-way, and $760 for roundtrip.

Meanwhile, the DohaManila fares start at QAR980 for one way and QAR1,400 for roundtrip.

For the first nine months of 2015, PAL’s listed parent PAL Holdings, Inc. said its net income ballooned by 2,465% to P6.11 billion, while

revenues increased by 11% to P81.98 billion mainly on higher passenger revenues.

This year, PAL is projecting passenger volumes to hit more than 14 million, higher than the 12 million seen last year.

It also eyes an improvement in load factor, a measure of capacity utilization, to 75% from 71% in 2015.

Iloilo plant synchronized with Visayas grid by April PA L M C O N C E P C I O N Powe r C or p. ( P C P C ) expects to synchronize its two 135-megawatt coalfired power plant project in Concepcion, Iloilo with the Visayas electricity grid by end-April as it completed the construction of a transmission line and two substations.

Roel Z. Castro, PCPC president and chief executive officer, said the company was able to settle rightof-way matters, allowing the fast completion of the ConcepcionBarotac 138-kilovolt (kV) transmission line, which includes a new 138-kV substation in Concepcion and the expansion of the Barotac Viejo substation.

“We made sure that all those affected by

the construction of the transmission facilities were compensated accordingly and that all documentary requirements are in place for the proper turn-over of these transmission assets to NGCP [National Grid Corporation of the Philippines],” he said in a statement.

He als o attributed t he c ompl e t i on of t he transmission facilities to the “dedicated effort and full support” of NGCP, which will coordinate the synchronization schedule by the last week of April, ahead of the delivery of power supply to customers in Panay, Negros and other parts of the Visayas.

Picture of Peace Think a minute…A king was offering a prize to the artist who could paint the best picture of peace. Many artists from around the country tried. The king looked at all the pictures and there were only two he really liked. But he had to choose between them.

One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was surrounded with peaceful, towering mountains. Above them, was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. Everyone who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.

The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was a dark, angry sky and heavy rain with flashes of lightning. Down the side of the mountain roared a huge, powerful waterfall. It did not look peaceful at all.

But when the king looked closely at the second picture, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in the crack of the rock. A mother bird had built her nest in the bush. There, in the middle of all the noise of rushing water and scary, thundering skies, that mother bird sat—in perfect peace.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture because He said: “Peace does

Opinion

Quality Management Principles for Christians (Part 1) The Christendom does not usually take a theological discourse about stewardship issues like taking care of the environment; albeit Pope Francis made an official doctrine of environmental s t e w a r d s h i p r e c e n t l y, ecological imbalance has already been a pressing concern decades ago and we wonder why it did not immediately gain traction. I do not expect theologians to create models of stewardship outside their specific upbringing, but the need for such models somehow inspired me and I came up with quality management principles applicable to those who profess faith in Christ.

These principles are parallel to the much-touted total quality management (TQM) principles that help start and sustain the quality revolution since the 80’s.

We are beneficiaries of the quality management movement: the learning curve of production lowers product costs; we, as customers, are more satisfied than ever because of the competition among Titans which seek to offer the best features of products, aftersales service and the like.

There are premises that apply to both producing highly competitive products and grooming quality Christians: bringing them out requires quality systems and processes; they are both results of organizational cultures that uphold certain practices and assumptions that lead to higher quality.

With these, I lay down these quality management principles for those who

Jhan Tiafau Hurst not mean you must be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, pain, or pressure from work. The real meaning of peace is to be right in the middle of all those difficult experiences, and still be calm and confident in your heart.”

It doesn’t matter what difficult situation you’re in right now. Jesus, the Christ of Christmas and Prince of Peace, loves you. And this Christmas season, even with everything you may be going through, you also can have peace in your heart. If you’ll ask Jesus, God the Son, to forgive you for all your wrongs, and then ask Him to take full control of every area of your life, every day.

He will fill your heart with His power and peace that you can never find anywhere else. Just Think a Minute…

seek to grow in the faith: 1) Focus on God 2) System approach 3) Process approach 4) Leadership and stewardship 5) Surrounding with the right people 6) Continual improvement 7) Factual approach to decision making While the TQM ideal for products puts customer focus as the first principle, my purpose here is the reason why it should be our focus on God. Jesus said that if our eye is good (Mat. 6:22), all of our lives will be filled with His light. This statement points out the importance of a good vision—they key to focus. We can’t have two masters: we must focus upon one (Mat. 6:24). The epistle warns us of the dangers of being double minded (James 1:8) because it destabilizes every part of our lives. John Barnett pointed (italics are mine): Focus light and you get a laser burst.

Focus water and you get some commercial cutting applications.

Focus atoms and you get some momentary atomic power.

Focus on money and you get a passing fortune like a Morgan or Buffet.

Focus on conquest and you get a short-lived Alexander or Hitler.

But focus your life on Jesus Christ and you become one of the best Christians.

This reminds me of a wall caption in an Olympic training camp which reads:

“The pain of training or the pain of frustration.” With that eloquent reminder, athletes focus more on winning amid inconveniences from the physical rigors.

Next principle: system approach? Indeed, almost everything we aspire operates in systems composed of these elements: objects/ parts, attributes of the parts, internal relationships among its objects, and an environment. The interaction of these elements basically determines any outcome.

The idea puts forward a chain of influence and the concept of wholeness and interdependence. The system approach is also understood as input-process-outcome sequence where the outcome is always dependent on quality inputs and quality process/es.

Take this case to apply the system approach: a believer still struggles with vices for a long time and lacks commitment to his or her profession of faith. The input involved could be programs he or she subsumed into that cherry-pick on holiness teachings or a culture of apathy. The process: it could be too much dependence on Sunday sermons; no effort to attend related seminars or to read good books; and lack of spiritual disciplines such as Bible meditation and prayer.

According to an o n l i n e s u r v e y, o n e i n three Christians are selfproclaimed ones who admit they rarely live the teachings of Christ. This is an issue of quality which has resulted from the lack of a system

lucell larawan perspective among churches and believers. The Bible, however, admonishes: “… continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose (Philippians 2: 12).”

Growth is a conscious effort, not a coincidence.

If the goal is to produce quality Christians-- those who please God and men— both church leaders and laymen alike should be more deliberate in their efforts in establishing a God-glorifying continuous improvement as business unicorns are with their products. I assume the lack of quality among Christians is also rooted from a paralysis of analysis from the long-revered traditions of theology. Now is the time to make such analysis more relevant and eclectic even if it means borrowing models from fields like business management.

Christians should ask: is quality not a major concern among those who have faith?

Breakthroughs from the God-man exchange cannot take place without the quality factor.

Well, I remember, how many times I started to whine,when I had to go to bed. Still being as happy as a sand boy, I only got one thing in mind.

Stay up, stay up...! My eyes became already quadrangular because of terrible tiredness, but, I didn’t care! Adults life at night must be really mysterious - and, we kids shouldn’t be with them any time. Tears, screaming, up to six or even ore times getting up, running to the living room, where they are still gathering together and enjoy... .

Every night - yes, but the most worst has been the so-called (?) “siesta”, actually just another interruption of games and fun. During those times, at the second half of my life, am I happy having the chance to take a nap especially during weekends.

While being still young (?), we actually don’t need a bed. The bed is just only useul to cry out our lovesicknesses - and later, to share

again with a loved-one.

And then? Time came, where we shared our bed wit h s ome one - w hole days and nights under one blanket. Better don’t get up any more? Everything “important” happened in the bed: love-nights, endless telephone calls, full of life and weary of life books, intimate breakfasts...

Then, the bed suddenly changed. It became a simple floor mattress while getting a massage to cure the terrible back pain. I also remember an extendible couch and all those stupid ceremonious constructions such as “futon” or “water-bed”!

And then? Here we are in our special health bed with body friendly mattress and adjustable bed construction.

Hey, if I only could lie down earlier...! And then? We’re lying in our luxurious unit, called bed, and we can’t fall asleep because all thoughts of the day harass, bother and haunt us. We roll from

one side to another and start counting stupid sheep: 898, 899, 900, 901 - sleep NA LANG!) - or continue counting... .

On the other hand, German physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955) needed to sleep 12 full hours daily being able - as he said - to think and probably change the world.

Yes, if, we become sick and had to stay in bed, we might start hating it - no wonder!

And our death-bed might become one of the wonderful clouds in heaven... .

Our attitude regarding a - or - our bed changes from time to time, but the bed remains as what it is: a bed.

A bed in every apartment, in every house, in every hotel room or in every guest room in our house. Everything, the world may change, but there

A Community’s Dream is Coming True “Tungod kai ang mga lumad wala na-edukar, pirme gyud mailad sa mga daotang elemento, gamay ra nga mga pasalig madala dayon sa mga dautan nga idolohiya”

- Alde “Botsoy” Salusad

San Fernando, Bukidnon – Sitio Kiranggol, Barangay Dao, is roughly a 6-hour open-trail climb into the rain forests of San Fernando.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), together with the Department of Education (D epED) and National Commission for Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), lead the joint site validation of a proposed 3-classroom school building to be constructed through the Kapit Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services - National Community Driven Development (Kalahi CIDSS-

NCDDP). This is part of the Whole of Nation Initiative intervention for Lumads in El Niño affected areas, particularly in the Province of Bukidnon.

Kiranggol (Kiranggel) means a “place of convergence” where other tribes meet to do trade or festivities, this according to Alde “Botsoy” Salusad, the sitio’s peace keeper and whose family ancestry claims the land.

San Fernando, Bukidnon is home to two indigenous tribes the Matigsalugs and Tigwahanons.

gold mining. According to residents, the sitio used to have a lot of residents and mine workers – chaos then escalated which drove out the residents and workers, a few came back to the community.

In a conversation with “Commander Botsoy”, he said that the community that now thrives in Kiranggol has only been around for three years. The young community already boasts of some businesses in the area despite the fact that the sitio is only accessible by trekking through open-mountaintrail – and only by humans.

Even horses would have a difficult time traversing the cliffs and the steep peaks. In Kiranggol, there are sari-sari stores, a karinderya, billiard halls, and … karaoke houses.

Supplies are brought to the place by “haulers” and usually one hauler can carry about a 50 kilogram load at the very least – and will charge about 500 pesos to a thousand (or more) depending on the load.

So expect the high prices of the commodities – to give you an example, a 1.5 liter softdrink would then cost 150 pesos.

The place is powered by electricity generators or dynamos; they switch on lights at 5:00 in the afternoon until 9:00 in the evening, and 4:00 – 6:00 in the morning.

The community pays about 10 pesos per day for the community electricity while some residents have their own electricity generators, and for a fee you may charge some of your gadgets – yes, there are certain spots in Kirang gol w it h mobi le network connectivity.

About 2 kilometers before reaching Kiranggol, there is also a spot they fondly call as “signalan” or a place with mobile network signal. There, trekkers may stop and rest, as well as text or call – this is the only place with mobile network connectivity along the 6-hour walk.

As the team trekked the treacherous trails, DSWD 10 Regional Community Infrastructure Specialist Engineer Roel Jumao-as spoke with the team on the possibilities of materials hauling when the actual construction of the school building will start. To haul a bag of cement would actually cost around 500 pesos each.

However, Engineer Jumaoas is both hopeful and determined, “kung mabuhat nato ning school-building diri sa Kiranggol, walay rason nga dili nato mabuhat sa ubang dapit (if we can build the school-building here in Kiranggol, there’s no reason

we can’t make it in other areas).”

Tiring as the trek and climb was, the satisfaction of reaching the sitio was over whelming – people welcomed us with smiles and a warm meal. There we met the residents who congratulated us on surviving the trek. One even commented “pasensya na sir, walay medalya diri sa finish-line (sorry sir, there is no medal here at the finishline),” catching my breath – I could only muster a smile.

Good thing they already have a water system in place.

The Dreamers DSWD - Kalahi CIDSSNCDDP embraced a warm welcome from the Lumad children of Sitio Kiranggol during the site validation for the construction of a threeclassroom school building in the sitio. Kiranggol parents and children alike were delighted to know of the project and have high hopes that their community can now have formal education in their sitio.

Mitze Antian, Grade 3; Nistle Genlisa Mae Baculao, Grade 4; and R os e ann Antian, Grade 4, are pupils of Dao Elementary School in Barangay Dao, San Fernando, Bukidnon. The three dreams of becoming a doctor, a police officer, and a teacher respectively.

The grueling 5-hour mountain trek to their school makes it difficult for them to dream big. However, they are given renewed hope and vigor to pursue their dreams as the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) - Kapit Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services - National Community Driven Development (Kalahi CIDSS-NCDDP) will construct a three-classroom school building in the sitio.

Kiranggol can now have

Residents of Sitio Kiranggol participate in the election of Barangay Sub-Project Management Committee Chairperson. The committee shall take care of the overall management of the sub-project and shall oversee subproject implementation, monitoring, maintenance and sustainability after project completion.

formal education in their sitio.

Mitze says “makabalo na ko magsulat, magbasa, ganahan ko nga naay eskwelahan diri sa duol, para makalampus sa pag-eskwela ug mahimong doktor (I know how to write, read, I like that there will be a school near here so that I can finish my studies and become a doctor).”

Roseann hopes to become a teacher, “para makatabang ko sa pamilya ug sa komunidad (so I can help my family and the community).”

Nistle said “Nalipay ko nga di na malayo sa among balay ang eskwelahan, gusto ko makahuman ug mahimong pulis, akong uyu-an kai pulis (I’m happy that our school won’t have to be far from our house, I want to finish and become a police officer, my uncle is a police officer).”

Mira Ombo is a parent of four children; Ling-ling who is now in grade 4, Ian in Grade 1, while Anelyn and Mayan, are in daycare.

Mira says that her main sources of livelihood are “mag tanom og kamote, lutya, ug uban pa, usahay manglampas (planting crops like sweet potato and yautia, and others, sometimes I mow fields).”

Mira also is delighted with the construction of the school

building, “maayo kaayo nga naa nay eskwelahan, nalipay ko, makaayo kini para sa mga kabataan, dili na namo ipadala sa sentro sa Dao ang mga bata para lang makaskwela kai naa na diri (this is good that there will be a school, I’m happy, this will be good for the children, we don’t have to send our children down to Dao just to go to school because we’ll have our own here).”

Botsoy Having read stories about Commander Alde “Botsoy” Salusad tells of a horrifying past. However, we met a completely different man during our visit – far from the stories we have read.

C o nv e r s at i o n s w i t h residents gave us another picture of Botsoy, one resident narrates a tale when Botsoy spent an almost sleepless night fixing the leaking water pipes on their water system only to be awaken the next morning seeing the pipes chopped by a drunk. Instead of showing rage – Botsoy asked the culprit to pay a tribute of a dozen chickens, and fixed the pipes again.

Perhaps this is the reason why one can’t find liquor being sold in the sitio.

Sporty Scooter KYMCO Super 8 150

T

ake Kymco’s ability to come up with unique model names and mix it with the Taiwanese’s natural facination with the number 8 and you get a scooter named Super 8. The Kymco Super 8 150 is powered by a single cylinder air-cooled engine which produces 7.7 kw @ 5500 rpm and 10.6 nm @ 7500 rpm. Actually, I was

expecting more from the so called “sport bike for scooterists”.

Also, maximum torque is achieved at a higher rev range so you really have to open that throttle to get a move on. The Super 8 150 is by no means a crotch rocket but it does pack enough punch to let you have some fun while running errands.

The Super 8

150 runs on meaty 100/80 (front) and 120/80 (rear) 14inch tubeless tires that offer excellent traction. Because of the wider contact patch, you will also be a bit more confident when leaning into corners. While its heft has an adverse effect on its straightline performance, it did, however, helped the scoot in keeping

its rubber-side firmly planted on the tarmac.

The stability in handling is almost like that of a conventional motorcycle. Braking performance is adequate, with a hydraulic disc in front and a drum at the rear. A pair of 5-way adjustable rear shocks help smooth out the bumps and I found the softest setting perfect for riding solo. You can easily set the pre-load if you plan to ride with a pillion regularly.

The folding passenger foot pegs flips into position with a press of a button and it has a rubber patch for better foot hold.

The large bar-end counter weights not only evoke sport bike styling, they also keep vibrations at bay. The smoked fly screen is more aesthetic than functional but the wide leg shield provides great protection against mud splatter and road debris. It does

have pointy parts on each side that kept meeting with my shin. I recommend wearing full track boots. However, if you’re planning on completing entire racer look with your choice in head gear, take note that the under seat compartment will only take an open face helmet.

The instrument panel is rather plain, with an analog speedometer and odometer, but you it has a digital clock that is quite useful for riders on tight schedules. A strip of LED bulb supplements a pair of big halogen lamps to ensure that you get home safely in case your itinerary extends beyond office hours...and if you happen to be that busy then the P 74,000 price tag will hardly make a dent on your wallet. For more information about the Super 8 150, visit www.kymco.com.ph.

MDPPA posts highest motorcycle sales growth in ASEAN, projects 15% growth for 2016 After capping 2015 with an 8% year-on-year growth on motorcycle sales, the Philippines holds the best growth performance among the Federation of Asian Motorcycle Industries (FAMI) member countries that include Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand. The Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association (MDPPA), a group of motorcycle manufacturers in the Philippines, announces that the total 2015 unit sales of its member companies in the country achieved an 8% year-on-year increment.

Collectively, MDPPA members Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, and KYMCO sold 850,509 units last year, up by more than 60,000 units from 2014 sales.

With the country’s sustained economic growth and an increasing number of citizens who can afford new vehicles, motorcycles have become a transportation alternative in the greater Manila area and other key cities where traffic continues to worsen. According to an Asian Development Bank (ADB) report, motorcycles are the second most preferred mode of transportation in the Philippines comprising 20.7% of the country’s automotive industry.

MDPPA attributed the past year’s notable growth to the aggressive launch of many new models, dealer initiatives, as well as the anti-counterfeiting campaigns of both the group and individual members to bolster the sales of genuine branded motorcycles.

Early sales data for the first two months of 2016 reinforces the group’s positive outlook for this year. MDPPA recorded a 34% year-on-year sales growth for the first two months of 2016 prompting MDPPA to forecast a y-o-y increase of at least 25% in the first half of the year. If the trend continues, MDPPA is positive that its members can surpass the 12 – 15% growth initially projected for 2016.

“Given the heavy traffic condition in the metro today, motorcycles have become a better transportation alternative for majority of the commuters. This kind of demand contributed greatly to the growth we achieved in 2015, and I believe this will be the same factor that would greatly contribute to the sales

targets we are aiming for this year,” shares MDPPA President Rodel Pablo.

Aside from mobility in Metro Manila becoming a challenge, Pablo also emphasized that the continuous development and introduction of new and innovative models locally, including F1 motorcycles with higher gasoline mileage, will continue to propel motorcycle sales in the country in the coming years.

With the growing demand for motorcycles, MDPPA recognizes the challenge and opportunity to also further advance the association’s advocacies against counterfeiting and the education of both motorists and pedestrians about road safety.

T

HE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) maintained monetary policy settings anew on Wednesday on prospects inflation will stay subdued despite solid economic growth at home.

The decision to hold fire on rates was not in sync with recent policy easing moves by central banks elsewhere -- from Indonesia (rate cut) to Malaysia (reduction in reserve ratio) to New Zealand (rate cut) to Japan (negative interest rate) -- all done in light of global pressures that risk slowing the global economy.

The BSP wrapped up it s m e e t i ng b e fore financial markets closed for the Holy Week break.

The peso weakened to P46.40 per dollar on Wednesday from the previous session’s P46.29-per-dollar finish.

The benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index rallied 0.25% to end a shortened trading week at 7,360.05.

Wednesday’s outcome marked the 12th straight meeting that the BSP’s policysetting Monetary Board kept overnight borrowing and lending rates unchanged at

4% and 6% since these were last adjusted in September 2014. Special deposit account (SDA) rates were kept at 2.5% and the reserve requirement ratio, at 20%, as widely expected by analysts.

“The Monetary Board’s assessment of manageable inflation outlook and robust growth conditions continue to support keeping monetary policy settings unchanged,” BSP Governor Amando M. Tetangco, Jr. said in a press briefing, while noting that inflation remained “firmly anchored” within the central bank’s 2-4% target band for the year.

“At the same time, the Monetary Board observed t hat d ome st i c d e mand conditions continue to be buoyant, supported by solid private household and capital spending, positive business sentiment, and adequate credit and domestic liquidity.”

Last week, Mr. Tetangco said there was “no pressing need” for the central bank to adjust monetary policy s e tt i ng s g i ve n e n ou g h “f l ex ibi l it y” and f is c a l space to respond to external developments even as the US

Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged and as other central banks eased policy amid paling global growth prospects.

The Philippine economy held up well, logging a 6.3% growth in the last three quarters to lift full-year reading at 5.8%. Inflation -- control of which is the cent ra l b an k’s pr imar y objective -- meanwhile resumed heading south after upticks were recorded in November and December.

After Wednesday’s meeting, the central bank announced it lowered its inflation forecasts for this year and the next.

In a market comment issued shortly after the decision, Capital Economics senior Asia economist Gareth L e at her s aid t he BSP’s move was expected, with authorities “in little hurry” to make any policy adjustments in the near term.

“Barring any sudden change in rhetoric in the statement, we continue to think that the policy rate will remain unchanged at 4.0% at least until the end of the current year,” Mr. Leather said, while also noting fears over slowing

economic growth eased somewhat given the surge seen in the last quarter and tempered credit growth that dispelled earlier risks in the financial sector.

ANZ Research economists said they expect a rate hike later in the year. “Although we do not see inflation hitting the upper band of the 2-4% target, the 18-22 months of lag in monetary policy transmission still points to a need to tighten monetary conditions pre-emptively, probably by late Q3. Overall, we expect a total hike of 50bps in 2016,” read the research note.

NEW INFLATION FORECASTS BSP Deputy Governor Diwa C. Guinigundo told reporters that the Monetary Board again trimmed its inflation forecast to 2.1% for 2016 -- lower than the 2.2% projection announced during last month’s meeting -- owing to the “lower than projected” February inflation rate, the stronger peso against the dollar, a delay in power rate adjustments, and a reduction in transport fares announced earlier this month. inflation/PAGE 10

PNB Savings Bank (PNBSB), the consumer arm of Philippine National Bank, posted a 52 percent jump in net income to P167 million last year from the P110.0 million it earned in 2014 on good performance in its consumer loans.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, PNB said PNBSB’s net interest income of P1.0 billion was up ye ar-on-ye ar by 54 percent while pre-tax profits improved by 43 percent to close at P253.2 million.

In 2015, PNBSB further entrenched itself as a major market player in consumer loans. Housing loans accounted for 66 percent of new consumer business, auto loans generated 33 percent while multi-purpose and salary loan contributed 1 percent.

Of the new housing loans, more than half is accounted for by referrals from the bank’s partner developers and dealers while 39 percent was referred by the branch network.

PNB and PNBSB branches remain to be a steady source of consumer loan referrals.

This channel also makes housing and auto loans easily available to customers even in far-flung areas.

In 2015, PNBSB forged

27 partnerships with real estate organizations, bringing the bank’s total developer network to 138 and further aug ment ing t he B an k’s presence in the real estate industry.

PNB Savings Bank traces its roots from First Malayan Development Bank which Allied Banking Corporation (ABC) bought in 1986 to reinforce its presence in the countryside.

In January 17, 1996, it was renamed First Allied Savings Bank following the grant of license to operate as a savings bank. In 1998, First Allied Savings Bank changed its name to Allied Savings Bank to further establish its association with the parent ABC. With the merger of PNB and ABC in 2013, Allied Savings Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PNB. In November, 2014, Securities and Exchange Commission approved the change of name of Allied Savings Bank to PNB Savings Bank.

PNBSB closed the year 2015 with total resources of P22.7 billion, up 8 percent from the previous year. Total deposits closed the year with P11.1 billion, higher by 15 percent, fuelled by short-term profit/PAGE 11

City; and finally (d) 6th MCTC Tagoloan-Villanueva, Misamis Oriental, marked as Annexes K,L,M and N, respectively; The Registry of Deeds for Misamis Oriental has certified that the lot occupied by petitoners under Lot No. 1036, Pls923 could not be ascertained if a title or patent was in fact issued in favour of anyone based on its file due allegedly to incomplete cadastral lot listing, evidence by Certification of the Registrar of Deeds marked as Annex “O”; Defendant Chaves thru counsel, W.N. Cabuntog Law Office has sent a demand letter to petitioners invoking alleged ownership over their property as shown by a letter marked as Annex P. thus the need to settle this issue and erase some clouds of doubts on true owners of the property in question; Petitioners are invoking their lo9ng time possession from 1963 of the lot coupled with constant tax payment until which apparently has ripen already into vested rights entitling them to be declared as its absolute owner. They now sought to invite defendants to present titles and proof ownership before the honourable court otherwise be forever barred from further claiming it, without such court order petitioners could not pursue the titling of their property which they consider as theirs, from the start; Defendants are adjoining owners and known to have improvements and a long time neighbours of the petitioners whose interest might be affected if the petition is granted and the property is particularly described and bounded as follows:

North: Breccio Tamparong South: National Highway East: Municipal Road West Roberto Mortola Defendants and their predecessors-in-interest have never been in passion of the subject property; That defendant Mr. Parlecha the previous applicant of the subject lot is neither a resident in the area nor been seen in Poblacion Villanueva, Misamis Oriental and his name appeared only in cadastral records of Villanueva Misamis Oriental and apparently nobody knows how him in Villanueva and researched by petitioners produced negative results as to his whereabouts and as such by his long absence, and failure to occupy the subject property or pay realty tax in favour of the government he must be treated to have abandoned his claim and application and for the court to categorically declare him to have slept on his right never to claim it again; To bolster petitioner’s contention of possession and ownership by petitioners and Mr. Parlecha’s abandonment of decree and interest thereto, including the absence of decree holder in the subject lot coupled with petitioners’ occupation of the area, the affidavit of witnesses and 2-disinterested persons confirming their allegation is evidence by sworn statement of witnesses;

GREETINGS:

WHEREAS, this Court issued an Order date December 19, 2015, allowing petitioner to serve Summons to respondent, Salvador Parlecha by Publication pursuant to Section 14, Rule 14, of the Rules of Court;

17.

To further prove their ownership the petitioners were able to sell 300 square meters of their area to a neighbourbusinessman, a certain Lorenzo Ong who was able to secure title to the land purchased from Amado Mortola, brother of herein petitioner. It would be totally unfair and absurd for the seller and actual occupant of the land not to be issued title to their claimed land when the buyer portion of their land has already secured title in his name.

19.

Copy of the subdivision map of Mr. Ong is attached as Annex T including the map of petitioner marked as Annex U; Petitioner and her husband are in the twilight years of their lives and art least they wished to pursue their application for registration of their occupied area but could not do so because of the decreed issued to defendant Parlecha and the claims of Chjavez heirs to the area hence the instant petition to settle clouds as to their title and ownership and pray for the change of claimant on DENR file to enable the petitioners to be substituted as the applicant being the actual possessor of the land and declared owner of the subject area.

Petitioners in the exercise of their rights as owners have introduced improvements on permanent material in their area and leased it to some commercial establishment in Villanueva for several years of four(4) more than decades now yet they have no security in the absence of clear title in their name, the final objection of this petition.

“The schedule of the commercial operations is just right on track as what we have committed to our customers,” said Winifredo S.M. Pangilinan, senior vice-president for project development, without giving a target date.

The company said 10 distribution utilities and electric cooperatives have s i g n e d up w it h P C P C for their baseload power capacity requirements. The power providers supply the electricity needs of individual customers as well as industrial and commercial entities.

origin of the name Kiranggol, he said that it was also known as “Maupya” meaning “good” because the early settlers were good people.

Botsoy addressed his fellow Lumads during the site validation and sitio assembly, “kini na gyud ang katumanan nga atong ipangandoy sa mga bata nga matukuran na gyud tag pormal nga skwelahan diri, gikan sa kalisod nato, pag-NPA nato sa una, pagsurrender nato --mao kini akong pangandoy nga maedukar kita, dili nata magsugot nga dili kita maedukar (this will be the fulfillment that we dream for our children that there will be a formal school here, from our hardships, when we were still with the NPA until our surrender, this is what I dreamed of, that we will be educated, we won’t allow that we won’t be educated).”

Botsoy continued “tungod kai ang mga Lumad wala naedukar, pirme gyud mailad sa mga daotang elemento, gamay ra nga mga pasalig m a d a l a d ay on s a m g a dautan nga idolohiya, mao nang pangandoy nato nga maedukar gyud ang mga Lumad (because Lumads are not educated, we are always prone to bad elements, with just a little promise – we get carried away with bad ideology, that’s why I dream that Lumads will be educated).”

Botsoy is thankful for the upcoming construction

of the school building, “magpasalamat ta, nangingkamot ang gobyerno ng a tu ku r an g y u d t a g eskwelahan diri, priority kita (we are thankful, the government endeavored to build us a school here, we are a priority).”

Sitio Kiranggol Chairman Listino Licawan also enthused “kitang tanan magpasalamat kay niabot sila diri sa Sitio Kiranggol, bisan tuod ug layo, mao na cguro kini ang katumanan sa atong mga pangandoy alang sa atong mga kabataan, kinahanglan kitang tanan magtinabangay ug maghiusa para dunay katumanan sa atong pangandoy (we should be thankful that they arrived here in Sitio Kiranggol, though it is far, perhaps this will be the realization of our dream for our children, we must all help out and unite to accomplish this dream).”

“Kinihanglan nga atong dasigon ang atong pagpaeskwela sa atong mga anak, kay mao ray bugtong nga pangandoy nato para sa atong mga anak, ug labi ang mga ginikanan, akong dasigon nga maedukar gyud ang mga anak (we need to encourage our children to go to school, this is the only dream we can have for our children, and to the parents, I encourage you to have your children educated),” concludes Botsoy.

Inflation... from page 8

It was during the BSP’s Feb. 11 policy review when authorities first said that inflation risks have “tilted slightly” to the downside, factoring in the oil price slump and its spillover effects.

Inflation slowed for a second straight month in February, with the reading at 0.9%. The BSP said it expects inflation to have settled

between 0.6% and 1.4% this month. (Read separate story titled: “Softer March inflation reading likely”) The rise in commodity prices logged a 1.4% average in 2015, matching the BSP’s forecast and falling below the 2%-4% target range as expected.

The BSP also trimmed its inflation forecast for 2017 to 3.1% from 3.2%.

“The Monetary Board also noted that the risks surrounding the inflation outlook have remained tilted to the downside, as downward price pressures could arise from slower-thanexpected global economic activity and potential secondround effects from lower international oil prices,” Mr. Tetangco said, while citing remaining upside risks drawn from the impact of the El Niño phenomenon on food prices and utility rates and pending power rate hike petitions.

Oil prices -- which had been on a rally -- are not much of a threat to inflation in the near term.

“Demand for oil globally will continue to be a little bit lower than supply until the second half of 2017.

As the gap closes, then we would expect some upward adjustments in oil prices,” Mr. Guinigundo said. “This is also true because the demand basically reflects the softer global economic conditions while supply is expected to slow down because of lower investment and the number of oil rigs appear also to be reduced.”

The Monetar y Board pegged global crude prices at $32.31 a barrel this year, slightly higher than its $31.62 per barrel assumption last month. For 2017, it pegged oil at $37.76 a barrel, up from a $37.53 rate.

Wednesday’s meeting is the second policy review of the Monetary Board for 2016, with the next one scheduled on May 12.

Roads... from page 1

She said that there are 13 road projects under prefeasibility studies enrolled under the Asian Development Bank-assisted Improving National Roads for Inclusive Growth in Mindanao (INRIGM) project, covering 500 kms in Region 9 or the Zamboanga region. The region comprises the three provinces Zamboanga provinces (del Norte, del Sur and Zibugay) and the cities of Zamboanga, and Isabela.

The INRIGM’s technical report said the Philippine government requested ADB to provide a project preparatory technical assistance to prepare the INRIGM project.

This project supports the government’s agenda for Mindanao in the Philippines Development Plan 2011 to 2016.

The Aquino administration ends on June 30, 2016. “ We l e av e i t t o t h e pre ro g at ive of t he ne x t administration to determine the need for realignment of projects already identified as Mindanao priorities,” Romeo Montenegro, Director o f M i n DA I n v e s t m e n t Promotions and Public Affairs told MindaNews Sunday.

“As far as MinDA is concerned, we are working hard on the mechanism to make planning and programming for public works projects rational, integrated, and inclusive, hence the joint programming with agencies. This is more than just making sure Mindanao projects are funded, and that national agencies concur on clear and strategic criteria for planning and programming in coordination with MinDA and the Mindanao stakeholders who push for strong business case that can withstand and transcend politics,” he said.

Belches said major outputs of the INRIGM project will include updating the Mindanao road network master plan, preparing the feasibility study and project design for a project suitable for ADB financing, Belches said.

“For the road network master plan, the consultants will consolidate plans and projects of responsible government agencies and update them for recent economic developments to update the overall roadmap for Mindanao’s road network, including the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao,” the report added.

The project will also involve feasibility study and project design which will cover engineering, economic, social impact, and safeguards activities.

According to the report, the technical assistance will cost $1.4 million.

Belches said it is necessary to update the master plan to attain synerg y in the road projects of the local government units (LGUs) and national agencies. “ There has to be a mechanism for regional offices to discuss. As the regions construct roads, other regions will complement it,” she said.

Last Monday officials of DPWH-Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and officials from the agency’s central office met in Manila to

discuss how the two agencies will work together in improving the roads. “ The DPWH-ARMM plans to construct roads which the national office of the DPWH will continue until it will connect to other road networks,” she said.

A feasibility study is also being done on the DavaoCotabato road networks to prevent traffic congestion while another study is already in the pipeline for the TawiTawi Circumferential road, according to Belches.

“It is important that we start early to prepare for the traffic, not when there’s already a traffic congestion,” Belches said.

a wider range of appliances and lighting systems, and to include even light duty motor vehicles.”

The initial coverage of the State-underpinned energy efficiency program include air-conditioners; split-type air conditioning system; refrigerators with 5 to 8 cubic feet storage capacity; and three types of fluorescent lamp (for linear and circular CFL); and electrical ballasts.

Basically, this is the ‘yellow tag’ attached to appliances being sold in the marketplace, which indicates their energy efficiency rating.

The intent of the department will be to pare energy intensity by 45-percent, noting that with the rollout of more efficient appliances, the electricity consumption of appliances could be reduced for the same level of convenience they provide to end-users.

The DOE noted that for the expanded policy, it has given weight to all stakeholder comments and suggestions to make it more attuned to the needs of affected constituencies.

In line with the fortified policy, the DOE indicated that it will be reviving its online information campaign to educate the public on the expanded EC and conservation paradigm.

The online campaign will draw from experiences of end-users on how they have been carrying out their own initiatives to reduce energy consumption.

It has to be noted that aside from the lead set out by the government, power utility giant Manila Electric Company (Meralco) has also been pursuing its own ‘appliance labeling program’ to further educate consumers on energy efficiency and conservation.

On a wider scale, groups of advocates are also pushing for the passage of a legislated measure to strengthen the country’s resolve on this sphere.

Winners... from page 1

website of the Commission on Elections (Comelec), four vice governors and seven city vice mayors are also running without opponents.

Of the four governors and four vice governors running unopposed, three are tandems: Agusan del Sur, Camiguin and Davao Occidental. In these areas, the candidates for congressional representatives are from the same family as the candidates for governor.

The unopposed candidates for Governor are Agusan del Sur’s Adolph Edward Plaza (NUP), Camiguin’s Ma. Luisa dela Fuente-Romualdo (LP), Davao Occidental’s Claude Bautista (NPC) and Dinagat Islands’ Glenda Ecleo (UNA) – all members of well-entrenched political dynasties in their areas.

Running unopposed for city mayor are Kidapawan’s Joseph Evangelista (LP), Lamitan’s Rosita Furigay (LP).

Malaybalay’s Ignacio Zubiri (BPP), Ozamiz’ Reynaldo Parojinog (NUP) and Tangub’s Philip Tan (LP).

Also unopposed in their respective congressional districts are Agusan del Sur’s Valentina Plaza-Cornelio (NUP 1st district) and Evelyn Plaza-Mellana (2nd); Bukidnon 3rd district’s Flores, Florencio, Jr. (NP), Davao del Norte’s Antonio Floirendo, Jr. (KB), Davao Occidental’s Lorna B aut ist a-B andigan (LP), Misamis Occidental’s Oaminal, Henry (NP, 2nd dist) and Davao City’s Nograles, Karlo Alexei (1st).

Four vice governors are also sure winners: Agusan del Sur’s Samuel Tortor (NUP), Camiguin’s James Ederango (LP), Davao Occidental’s Franklin Bautista (LP) and Surigao del Sur’s Manuel Alameda, Sr. (LP).

The seven unopposed candidates for city vice m a y o r s a r e : B a y u g a n’s Charles Anggayong (NUP), Davao City’s Paolo Duterte (Hugpong), Lamitan’s Roderick Furigay (LP), Malaybalay’s Roland Deticio (BPP), Ozamiz’ Nova Princess ParojinogEchavez (NUP), Tandag’s Ruel Momo (LP), and Tangub’s Edemar Alota (LP), Dynasties all The Plazas have been a fixture in Agusan politics since the 1950s with the late patriarch Democrito O. Plaza, a logging magnate, serving

as governor of the undivided Agusan province in 1964 until its division into Agusan del Sur and Agusan del Norte in 1967.

The patriarch represented the lone congressional district of Agusan del Sur in Congress from 1969 to 1972, in the martial law-era Batasang Pambansa from 1984 to 1986 and the post-Marcos Congress from 1987 to 1992. He was serving his second term as governor in 1995 when he passed away. He was 74.

His wife Valentina was governor from 1998 to 2001 followed by her son Adolph Edward from 2001 to 2007, succeeded by daughter Ma. Valentina Plaza-Cornelio from 2007 to 2010 and Adolph Edward again since 2010.

The Plaza siblings have been serving as Governor and Representatives of the two districts for two terms since 2010 and as they are all running unopposed, they will continue to serve in the same posts until 2019 when they shall all “graduate” from the three-term limits and will likely see another swapping of posts by 2019.

An estranged brother, Rodolfo, ser ved as Representative from 2001 to 2010 and ran for the Senate in 2010. He ran against his sister in the second congressional district in 2013.

In Davao Occidental, as exp ected, winners in the election of its first set of officials this May, are the Bautista family. Incumbent Davao del Sur Governor Claude Bautista is running for governor of Davao Occidental, the new province carved out of del Sur, with brother Franklin as running mate and sister Lorna as representative of the lone district. The other Bautistas continue to dominate the political landscape in their hometown, Malita.

The second congressional district of Davao del Sur, which now constitutes Davao Occidental, has been held by the Bautista family, uninterrupted since the postEDSA elections of 1987.

The same is tr ue for Camiguin. The lone congressional district has been represented by the Romualdo family since 1987 and the Governorship since 1998.

L i ke t h e P l a z a s , t h e Romualdos also have an estranged brother, Noordin Efigenio or “Gogo,” former mayor of Mambajao town who is running for mayor against Jurdin Jesus or “JJ,” who is completing his third term as Governor by June 30. JJ will be trading posts with his wife, Ma. Luisa, the incumbent mayor

who is running for Governor.

Gogo also ran against his brother JJ in 2007, for the post of Govenor.

In Dinagat Islands province, Glenda Ecleo is seeking a third term as Governor. Before Dinagat was carved out of Surigao del Norte in 2006, the Ecleo matriarch had served as Representative of the first district of Surigao del Norte from 1987 to 1995; and 2001 to 2007.

Her daughter Geraldine, the first elected governor from 2007 to 2010, is running for the lone congressional district against incumbent Rep. Arlene Bag-ao. Geraldine and Bagao were allies in 2013 when Geraldine ran for Governor against her mother Glenda, and Bag-ao ran for Congress.

Winners, still Although some candidates have rivals based on the certificates of candidacy filed for the same post, they are still certain of victory as the opponents are not known to the public and pose no threat to their candidacies.

Davao City’s Sara DuterteCarpio, daughter of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, is one example.

Duterte filed his COC for mayor in mid-October but opted to run for the Presidency on November 27. He was substituted in the mayoralty race by Sara, who was vice mayor from 2007 to 2010 and mayor from 2010 to 2013.

It will be another DuterteDuterte team for mayor and vice mayor, as it has been since 2007 when Sara was vice mayor to Rodrigo. Rodrigo was vice to Sara from 2010 to 2013 and son Paolo was vice mayor to Rodrigo from 2013 to 2016.

At the municipal level, several candidates are also running unopposed.

Lights Go Out at SM Supermalls for Earth Hour All 56 SM malls across the Philippines, plus its seven SM Malls in China, turned their lights off last March 19 in observance of Earth Hour. This is the 8th year that SM has supported the world’s largest public campaign for the environment.

This year’s theme, “Shine a Light on Climate Action”, reiterates Earth

Hour’s goals of not only getting public support for climate change mitigation and adaptation but also getting individuals and groups to do their share beyond the hour of the symbolic switching off of lights.

SM’s main switch off event was held at the Fountain area of the Mega Fashion Hall in SM

Megamall in Mandaluyong City. The celebration was led by celebrity superstar, Anne Curtis-Smith; Leandro Leviste, President of Solar Philippines; Mandaluyong City Mayor Benjamin Abalos, Jr.; Climate Change Commissioner Vernice Victorio and WWF Vice President Chrisma Salao. The event was

also attended by various advocates, members of the local government and the community.

When the lights were out, The Voice Philippines finalist and former Rivermaya front man Jason Fernandez entertained the audience with acoustic OPM hits.

SM Supermalls vice president for operations in Mindanao Oliver R. Tiu led the ceremonial switch off with SM’s institutional partners.

Meanwhile, in SM Lanang Premier, a 1,500-strong crowd of shoppers and runners gathered for the back-toback Earth Hour switchoff program and Color Manila’s Blacklight Run at the Fountain Court grounds. Acting Mall Manager Lynette Lopez of SM Lanang Premier welcomed the guests and led the switch-off with Department of TourismXI Regional Director Roberto Alabado III. Also present were Blacklight Run organizers Justine Cordero and Jay Em of Color. During the countdown to Earth Hour, participants

were treated to dance performances from Tribu K’Mindanawan, Zumba sessions and music spinned by local Djs. Once Earth Hour commenced, the mall lights went off and participants turned on their headlamps as they began their race to the finish line.

In SM City Cagayan de Oro, artists from different backgrounds – Teatro Uno, Gerikha Amper, Nobela, Ian Nuer and Muriel Lomadilla gathered together to perform during the lights off. Visual artists Nic Aca and Emmanuel Mulawan II used their creativity through impromptu painting to create awareness about climate change while shoppers wrote environmental messages at the Earth

Hour tree. Reigning Miss Cagayan de Oro 2015 Charinna Baro graced the event together with representatives from Primavera and The North Face.

Each SM Mall in the Philippines and China had their own versions of celebrating earth hour including environmental performances, lighting of candles and pledges of support for the environment from the surrounding communities.

Aside from supporting Earth Hour, SM has also been taking sustainability initiatives that include water recycling, energy efficiency, air quality, flood control support and responsible solid waste management efforts. Regular Trash to Cash activities are also conducted wherein

the public can exchange specified recyclable or reusable trash for cash. In November 2014, SM City North Edsa installed the country’s first commercial solar rooftop that produces 1.5MW of clean energy. Soon, more SM malls around the country will have solar panels on its rooftops.

“Being present in more communities gives SM the opportunity to empower everyone toward initiating change in how we treat the environment” added Liza Silerio, Director of the SM Cares Program on Environment and Sustainability.

Al Gore Visits SM Mall of Asia Solar Carpark Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore recently visited the newly-completed SM Mall of Asia Solar Carpark. He was welcomed by Leandro Leviste, President of Solar Philippines; Hans Sy, President of SM Prime; Loren Legarda, Senator and UN Global Champion; and Hans Sy Jr., Vice President of SM Engineering Design and Development.

The visit came as Gore was in Manila for his three-day Climate Reality workshop to educate civic leaders on climate change and its solutions. During the workshop, Gore called on Filipinos to end

their dependence on coal, and predicted that the Philippines, due to its abundant sunlight, can become one of the world’s first 100% solarpowered economies.

The Solar Carpark inspection was an opportunity to learn about how the Philippines is leading the way in clean energy adoption. He noted the scale of the project, which has made SM MOA the world’s largest solar-powered mall, and used it during his Climate Reality presentation. Joining the site inspection was a camera crew taking footage of the solar installation for an

dependent on subsidies, this project is notable for relying on zero government incentives, powering the mall at below utility rates. This demonstrates how, owing to high electricity prices and sunlight levels, the Philippines is one of the first markets to reach “grid parity”, where clean energy is also the cheapest form of

energy.

Solar Philippines constructed and financed the Solar Carpark, which supplies the power to SM Mall of Asia under a longterm agreement at below utility rates.

Together with SM North Edsa, this makes SM the largest consumer of solar energy in the Philippines.

Al Gore visits the newly-completed 2.7 megawatt SM Mall of Asia solar carpark, one of the world’s largest on-site solar projects. Fomer US Vice President Al Gore was accompanied by (from left) Hans Sy, President of SM Prime, Senator Loren Legarda, Leandro Leviste, UN Global Champion for Climate and Disaster Resilience and President of Solar Philippines; and Hans Sy, Jr, Vice President of SM Prime.
