Tourism spill over DAVAO Cit y – Even the local tourism industry is seen to feel the adverse effects of typhoon Yo l a n d a w h i c h d e v a s t a t e d Visayas. Ci t y To ur i s m O p e r at i o n s Office chief Lisette Marquez said there is a big probability that business events and conventions would be shelved as corporations would donate these expenses to relief efforts. T h ey a l s o ex p e c t l e s s e r travels as people would also donate to the relief efforts rather than going on vacation. Marques said that it would take a month to determine if visitor arrivals have been affected by the typhoon. As for foreign visitor arrivals, Marques said that it would depend on how the country is portrayed by the media. “National disasters are one of the main reasons why people would not travel to a locality.” Marques added.

Science fair BUTUAN Cit y -- The recently concluded 2013 Mindanao Cluster Science and Technology (S&T) Fair 2013 hosted by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Caraga serves as an avenue for local inventors and innovators from across Mindanao to exhibit their ingenuity and technological discoveries. DOST Secretary Mario G. Montejo said that “the use of S & T is always a sound development model for the improvement of the individual and society in terms of improved processes, products and services.” He expressed his trust in local technology which affirms the creativity of Filipinos particularly the Philippine scientific community. “It prepares the country for global competitiveness. Smarter Philippines program in farming; disaster mitigation; health care; small, micro and medium businesses; and industries will boost the growth of our economy,” said Montejo.

PHL thanks China for typhoon aid MANILA – The Philippines on Thursday thanked China’s assistance to the victims of Typhoon Yolanda and accepted Beijing’s offer to send a naval hospital to treat injured survivors from the storm-ravaged Visayas region. China, the world’s second largest economy, was among the several countries that provided aid to the Philippines, but its paltry US$ 100,000 initial donation came under heavy criticisms from international

media and personalities. As calls mount for China to provide more aid, Beijing increased its assistance to P 73 million and pledge more help, a move that may thaw several months of acrimony between the two neighbors locked in a long-running territorial dispute. Ties between Manila and Beijing plunged into its lowest this year when the Philippine government took China to an international court to question its

“excessive” claim over the resource-rich South China Sea. “We are thankful for the offer of China to send the Peace Ark Hospital Ship to support the relief operations,” Foreign Affairs spokesman Raul Hernandez said. “The schedule and other details related to its deployment are now being coordinated with the concerned agencies.” The United States earlier announced a plan to deploy its hospital ship USNS

Mercy, but Hernandez said the move is subject to the assessment of the victims’ needs. “There is an agreement in principle between the Philippines and the U.S. that the USNS Mercy will be deployed at a time when it is needed most based upon the assessment of the needs of the Philippines,” Hernandez said. The U.S., a Philippine treaty ally, has been providing military and transport assets

to accelerate the delivery of aid to remote areas. Hernandez said the Philippine government is “grateful” for Washington’s multimillion relief aid, which comes in the form of food, medical and military assistance. The United Nations earlier issued a US$ 301-million flash appeal for the Philippines while bilateral pledges of support from at least 51 international donors have reached P 12.9 billion or US$ 319.5 million.

In a press meeting Wednesday, Cushman & Wakefield Southeast Asia Executive Managing Director Arsh Chaudhry said the company will introduce Property Management Service in the country next year. ”Next year, we like to bring in Property Management Service Republic of the Philippines Department of Transportation and Communications LAND TRANSPORTATION FRANCHISING AND REGULATORY BOARD Region X, Cagayan de Oro City

because there is a growing need in our developmental plans to bring in world class expertise on managing properties here in Philippines,” Chaudhry told. Cushman & Wakefield opened its office in Metro Manila October 2012 after its multinational clients planned to put up and expand investments in the country. The company’s Office Agency Director Tetet Castro also mentioned that most of Cushman & Wakefield clients who are looking for expansion

in the Philippines are in the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector. Castro noted that Philippines, being one of the best providers of BPO talents worldwide, more BPO companies are interested in investing in the country. Thus, there will be a local demand on real estate services such as leasing, project management, and research among others. Aside from BPO industry, other clients of Cushman & Wakefield are in banking and finance institution,

management, retail, and even in manufacturing sector. ”Most of these companies are our clients already from North America and Europe,” she said. Cushman & Wakefield also emphasized that with the growing Philippine economy, the company expects for aggressive growth in services to be offered locally and expansion in other areas outside Metro Manila. Meanwhile, Cushman & Wakefield

was founded since 1917. To date, the company has 253 offices in 59 countries with headquarters located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It employed more than 16,000 personnel and investments of USD 2.05 billion globally. As a real estate services firm, the company offers capital markets, consulting, corporate occupier and investor services, leasing, valuation and advisory. (PNA)

SENA saves workers from labor cases by Mildred E. Dablio, Contributor

Read us online www.businessweekmindanao.com

epartment of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Regional Office No. X is pleased to inform that the Single Entry Approach or SEnA has lowered the filing of labor cases endorsed to the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) starting the second semester of 2013 from 28% to 3%. Likewise, SENA requests for assistance increased to 94% in the same period. A reform measure enacted by DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz in 2010 under Department Order number 107, Series of 2010, it is an administrative approach to provide a speedy, impartial, inexpensive, and accessible settlement

procedure of all labor issues or conflicts to prevent them from ripening into full blown disputes or case. Conciliation-medication process shall be utilized as immediate intervention to effect amicable settlement among the differing parties. Instead of starting out as a labor case, a worker requests for the conduct of conciliation-mediation under the SENA to assist the parties to arrive at a settlement agreement, saving costs for litigation fees. DOLE-X Regional Director, Atty. Alan M. Macaraya further informed that in Region 10, majority or 23% of the requests for assistance (RFAs) for SENA were issues

on non-payment of 13th pay. “But DOLE-X is pleased to inform that despite the said number of requests, these RFAs were also mostly or 94.13% settled,” he added. In line with the figures, SENA has been found to be effective in maintaining industrial peace. Likewise, the SENA Team of DOLE has recently been awarded as a Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award for the Civil Service Commission’s 2013 Search for Outstanding Public Officials and Employees. DOLE was conferred during an appropriate ceremony in Malacañang Palace, also in time for the celebration of the 113th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary.

from page B1 happy t h is (Wed nesday) afternoon’s ceremony was able to show that we are all united towards attaining this goal. We are thankful that our provincial governor as well as the municipal mayor and vice mayor and other local government officials were able to attend and provide their support. From their messages, it is clear that they welcome this project and look for ward to its successf u l implementation, because it will not only be good for the development and progress of the host communities, but for the rest of Mindanao,” Mr. Gotianun said. He said the presence of the company’s contractors, consultants and bankers were also important. Without them, FDC won’t be able to get the project off the ground and finish it on time. “In line with this, I would like to thank all of you again for your unqualified support. Let us all work not only to start things right, but to do things right up to the very end so that we can commence operation of this power plant at the earliest time possible. We should work closely as partners. Remember we are all working together to accomplish a common goal. If there is a problem, we should solve this is in a timely manner. If one of us fails to fulfill his or her role, then we won’t be able to successfully accomplish what we have set out to do this (Wednesday) afternoon. If we support each other and maintain good communication, then there should be no reason for us not to succeed in this venture. The importance is to work as a team at all times,” Mr. Gotianum said. The power plant is a multibillion peso investment by the FDC Misamis that will use the “ latest and clean c o a l t e c h nolo g y ” – t he circulating fluidized bed boiler technology. Considered as the cleanest process to burning coal, the technology removes more than 95 percent of sulfur emissions. It creates negligible nitrogen oxide levels while generating useful by-products such as calcium sulfate for cement production, FDC Misamis in a statement said. Also in attendance to the

event are the heads of the First Northeast Electric Power Engineering Corporation of China Energy Engineering G r o u p ( N E P C C h i n a) , NEPC Power Construction Corporation (NEPC Philippines), A lstom and Engineering Equipment, Inc. (EEI), who will be involved in the engineering, procurement a nd const r uc t ion of t he project’s world-class power equipment using intentionallyaccepted standards. FDC Misamis President Jesus N. A lcordo, in t he ceremonial toast, reiterated the company’s commitment towards env ironmenta l ly sound projects and call for a balanced development. “We are one w it h t he gover n ment i n ensu r i ng reliable and competitively priced power for one of our fastest-growing regions in the country. The Mindanao grid needs to have enough new capacity to ensure longevity of power sources without the fear of blackouts occurring in the region,” Alcordo said. T he g rou nd-brea k i ng r ite s wa s fol lowe d by a thanksgiving ceremony at Marco Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City, where Gov. Emano, in his keynote message, said: “With the province’s intention to combine environmental preservation and development, all we want is to ensure we have socially responsible investors in Misamis Oriental and I sincerely believe FDC Misamis is one such partner.” Contractual commitments have been obtained from 17 electric cooperatives with franchise areas in Misamis Oriental and other parts of Mindanao, helping ensure the supply of reliable and competitively-priced power for the province and the rest of the region. These agreements secure the contracted capacity for the project’s 2 units of135 MW each. Agreements with other customers are on-going for the 3rd unit. FDC Misamis is a subsidiary of FDC Utilities, Inc. (FDCUI), the utilities arm of Filinvest. Ta r g e t c o m m e r c i a l operation is early 2016. FDC was reported to have its profit expanded 26 percent in the first nine months of the year, mainly on the back of its banking and real estate

of the island. NGCP is also simu lta neously restoring lines and substations in other parts of the Visayas to meet the government’s deadline of December 24, 2013. Out of the 15 substations affected by the typhoon, some of which were physica lly damaged, 10 are now ready for energization and will be fully operational once the lines connected to these substations are rebuilt. Wit h 19 tra nsmission lines disconnected from the grid, NGCP is prioritizing the restoration of major lines interconnecting Luzon to Visayas, Leyte to Cebu and Ley te to Bohol. With the completion of the High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) line connecting Luzon and Visayas, NGCP will be able to share the power supply coming from Luzon to the Visayas islands. Me a nwh i le , NG CP is also restoring the two lines connecting Leyte to Cebu and Bohol to send the power generated in Leyte which will sustain the power demand of Cebu and Bohol islands. The transmission company reiterates its commitment to meet the DOE deadline. “NGCP is fast-tracking the restoration activities because we do not want a dark Christmas for the people living in the Visayas. Electricity is really a basic need for them to restart their lives. NGCP is pouring all its

“We are certainly pursuing our expansion on both properties,” said company president John Tiu in an interview. Tiu bared that the master planning and design of its recently acquired Club Paradise Resort in Coron, Palawan is already ongoing. “We are good to go by the third quarter of next year, construction period should be 18 to 24 months,” he said. Tiu said the Coron resort is undergoing renovation due to minimal damage wrought by typhoon “Yolanda”. “That (renovation) should be finished in less than one month time. So we should be opening hopefully before Christmas in time for the peak season,” he added. Tiu said the expansion of its primary hotel property, Discovery Shores Boracay, meanwhile, is scheduled to start by the first quarter of 2014. The project is expected to be completed in one year. Discovery World has earmarked over P1 billion for the expansion of these two resorts which it will finance through bank loans and internal cash. Moreover, Tiu said the company will invest part of the projected initial public offering (IPO) proceeds in new businesses that are tourism-related, which include a resort in Palawan being developed by Palawan Cove Corp. Tiu said they expect to complete the acquisition of Palawan Cove early next year. Discovery World set a budget of P120 million of the total P516 million net proceeds from the offer for such acquisition and investments in the cruise business through Discovery Fleet Corp. It will utilize the remaining P325 million of net proceeds from offer to settle the company’s short-term obligations, while P71.4 million for working capital requirements. Tiu said the company expects slight revenues reduction of less than 10 percent for a period of 15 days on some cancelled reservations due to the effect of “Yolanda.” “Calamities would always happen. So while the country is experiencing some slowness in growth because of the current typhoon, we believe that going forward, the prospect for the tourism industry is extremely bright,” he further said. Discovery World is the eighth company that launched its share sale. Others are the Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc., Travellers International Hotel Group Inc., Harbor Star Shipping Services, AG Finance Inc., Del Monte Pacific Ltd., Asia United Bank and Philippine Business Bank.
