carmaker Fisker New industry roadmap for Electric files for bankruptcy auto manufacturing pushed A ROADMAP aimed at reviving the country’s automotive manufacturing sector hit a roadblock after President Benigno Aquino III ordered the Board of Investments (BOI) to draft a “different” program for the industry.

Industry and government sources told InterAksyon. com that the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) presented the Philippine Automotive Manufacturing Industry roadmap during last week’s meeting of the Nationa l Economic and Development Aut horit y (NEDA) Board, which the President chairs.

The BOI is the investments promotion arm of the DTI.

However, “maraming tanong ang Presidente” about the proposed automotive roadmap shepherded by the BOI, an industry source said.

Another source said the President asked about how t he roadmap “ dif fered ” f rom t he v a r iou s auto manufacturing programs t hat pa s t gover n ment s undertook, and how it was different from neighboring Malaysia’s program, which

led to the establishment of national carmaker Proton.

The same source said the President’s queries on the proposed Philippine automotive manufacturing industry roadmap was cut short due to time constraints, but gave the BOI enough to chew on.

The BOI is proposing to support domestic automotive a s s embly by prov id i ng non-tax incentives, as the Depa r t ment of Fina nce (DOF) has been lukewarm to giving away tax perks to assemblers, a source said.

Local auto manufacturers have been blaming the lack of government support for

Jaguar Land Rover plans to build $500M plant in Brazil R IO DE JA N EI RO — Jaguar Land Rover plans to bui ld a $50 0 mi l lion ma nufacturing pla nt i n Br a zi l, t he O Globo newspaper reported Sunday.

The daily wrote that the Rio de Janeiro factory will be the company’s second production facility outside Br it a i n, i n add it ion to one China. It also has an assembly plant in India.

The new plant will have the capacity to build some

50,000 vehicles per year, and is expected to generate around 1,000 jobs.

O Globo reported that Jaguar Land Rover hopes to take advantage of rising consumer demand in Brazil, where the middle class in growing and where incomes have been on the rise.

i nterest f rom t he l i kes of stars such as Bieber, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ashton Kutcher.

Having struggled financially for some time, the company announced in April that it was laying off 75 percent of its workforce.

The bankruptcy could become a political hot potato because the US government had focused on Fisker to encourage the development of green energy, providing it with loans.

The Wall Street Journal cited the Department of Energ y as say ing it had recovered $53 million of the $192 million Fisker owed to the government, leaving $139 million unpaid.

Two Republican members of Congress — House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton and Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee head Tim Murphy — have already lashed out over the matter.

“Fisker’s collapse closes yet another sad chapter in (the Department of Energy’s) troubled portfolio,” they said in a joint statement. “ T he jobs t hat were promised never materialized and, once again, taxpayers are on the hook for the administration’s reckless gamble.”

PAINTING THE TOWN RED

A

fter more than a month in the making, PagbantogHIV’s Openshoot project “Hulagway” closes off with 68 total participants soon to be seen in printed black, white, and - RED. Artists, celebrities, professionals, even advocate students come together and prove how pictures could paint more than a thousand words to boost the campaign for the coming World Aids Day, December 1, 2013.

Last October 18, 2013, as published here previously, the Hulagway sub-project of the Pagbantog-HIV first made its announcement in furthering the crusade

for HIV and AIDS global awareness.

As in recently taking Northern Mindanao by its clutches, HIV and AIDS has claimed lives and will soon be taking more if not for supportive plans that would prevent if not entirely stop its increasing number.

This is where Pagbantog Kagay-an took its cue. As advocates against social terrorisms, the collective group of artists, celebrities and professionals in Cagayan de Oro City saw it fit to battle artistically with HIV and AIDS as it did a few months ago against the most recent bombing in the City of Golden Friendship.

“Pagbantog Kagay-an is

FEATURE

blessed with people who are keen to these changes in the society and they have a way of making a strong point across the archipelago.”

Says a representative of Hulagway “This is where Hulagway comes from.

It is born from creative minds, creative hands, and most importantly creative hearts.”

While the planned programme for Decemeber 1, 2013 at the Limketkai Rotunda may seem grandiose and expensive, it must be understood that all of the work that has come through are built on voluntarism.

“Nobody had to be paid to come forward and help.

Editor : Shaun Uy, E-mail: shaun_alejandrae_uy@yahoo.com

They just helped because they want their thoughts, their art, their words to be sent out there because they are standing up for a friend, a family, a loved one who may have succumbed to HIV and AIDS.” The 68 photos will be unveiled during the opening programme in the morning of December 1st at the Limketkai Rotunda.

Kagayanons not au fait to the spotlight of the media have bravely stepped up to the challenge to express their support for the message that PagbantogHIV is preaching and will surprisingly be seen posing a la professional models.

Thanks to the volunteer

*“One person a day at a time. HIV/AIDS, buntugon ta Kagay-an!” That is this the collective thought of Pagbantog Kagay-an. December 1, 2013 will begin with the HIV March from the Capitol Grounds towards the Limketkai Rotunda for the unveiling of the faces behind “Hulagway”.

A whole affair will be staged from there to 7:00 pm that would include a mass yoga, Project Oxygen’s Launching, HIV Monologues and a musical concert by Cagayan de Oro artists.

photographers; Glenn Palacio, Jessie Villegas, Ed Abella, and Bon Jumawan, makeup artists; Dandy Roa and Ryan Sy and prime movers/conceptual stylists Steven Quilacio and Arlyn May Baqui-Bongay, this is a dream-come-true.

All of these prints have gone through meticulous procedures behind the camera, to the printing and then to the assembly of the exhibit.

Rest assured with the reception that it has been receiving, like Pagbantog Kagay-an, Hulagway is set to paint Cagayan de Oro City with even more colors after it has painted the town red on December 1, 2013.

He explained that the government has created the Alternative Fuels and Energy Technologies Program where they intend to reduce and diversify the country’s fuel resources while providing solutions to air pollution caused by vehicle emissions.

These programs include the Auto-LPG or Liquefied Petroleum Gas, Electric Tricycle Project or E-trike and Natural Gas Vehicle.

Engr. Loreto Moncada of DOE said Auto-LPG is beneficial in the environment and health since it has lower photo-chemical smog or “ozone” forming potential which usually causes cancer and respiratory problems such as asthma, bronchitis and so on, lower greenhouse emissions affecting climate cha nge a nd less u rba n pollution.

On the other hand, the Electric Tricycle Project or E-trike is designed with the goal to save 90 million liters of petroleum per year, a total of 260, 000 tons of less carbon dioxide per year, and much better quality of life for drivers and operators and passengers.

F u r t h e r, E - t r i k e i s estimated to increase driver’s daily net income to 34%, since there is no need to pay for fuel said Engr. Moncada.

To i mplement t he s e prog ra ms i n cit ies a nd prov inces, t he Loca l Government Unit (LGU) must coordinate with the DOE and send them letter of intent, he added.

Meanwhile Natural Gas Vehicle program will ensure the stable supply of energy in t he transpor t sector, according to Jeannie Dy. DOE urges both public and private sectors to use or apply these new technologies and develop market and supply infrastructure to help the environment and more importantly lessen dependency on imported oil.

“The agreement with Midea allows us to expand our business to other white consumer goods such as ovens, microwaves, cooking ranges, electric fans, washing machines — products that we don’t carry today,” said CIC chairman Raul Joseph Concepcion.

He said 52 percent of the joint venture firm will be owned by CIC while the remaining 48 percent will be held by Midea.

In addition to streng t hening its air conditioning and refrigeration product lineup, the proposed joint venture will primarily allow CIC to enter the segment for other white goods or electrical home appliances.

T h e pr op o s e d j oi nt venture will also allow CIC to capitalize on its existing dealer, service, supply chain, and back office network in delivering a w ider range of white goods and other appliances into the Philippines.

CIC intends to fund its share of the initial working capital and startup costs of the joint venture with the P110 million first tranche of the proceeds of its P1.95 billion initial public offering.

However, 85 percent of the IPO is secondary while only 15 percent or P292 million consist of new shares of CIC. It is also allotting P110 million for the payment of f ina ncia l obligations consisting of short-term

Established in 1968, Midea is a leading white goods a nd air conditioning systems manufacturer, with operations around the world, recording approximately US$16.6 billion in revenues in 2012.

Midea is a brand leader in China and has 16 domestic production bases in China as well as overseas production bases in Vietnam, Belarus, Egypt, Brazil, Argentina, and India. It is also a joint venture and/or business partner of Carrier Corporation in selected countries worldwide.

The rema ining P30 billion will be sourced from lawmakers’ unused “pork barrel ” (forma l ly ca l led as Priority Development Assistance Fund) as well as from savings from the 2013 budget.

“Because the Supreme Court declared the a l lo c at ion of PDA F a s u nconst it ut iona l… So there is now P14.6 billion in progra m f und which could be now spent to be

used for calamities. The availability of those funds has been certified by the National Treasury,” Senate President Franklin Drilon said in a separate interview on Thursday.

T h e S e n a t e f i n a nc e committee has approved a P14.6 billion supplemental budget sourced from PDAF to augment the rehabilitation of the ca lamit y-stricken areas wrought by the super typhoon.

Calamity funds The Senate and the House of Representatives earlier filed Joint Resolution No. 5 realigning the 2013 Calamity funds, savings, and PDAF until December 2014. The Genera l Appropriat ions Ac t l i m i t s t h e l i f e o f appropriation to one year only. “[For 2014,] the Congress has increased the calamity fund. It has also increased the QRF (Quick Respond Fund) of DSW D (Depa r t ment of S o c i a l We l f a re a nd Development) and DPWH (Department of Public Works and Highways) to double and it also created QRF for DOH (Depar tment of Hea lt h) and DOTC (Department of Tr a n s p or t at ion a nd communication),” Abad said.

According to Abad, aside from the rehabilitation of Yolanda-hit areas, other places recover i ng f rom previous storms—Sendong (2011), Vinta (2013) and Pablo (2012)—w i l l a lso receive aid under the P130 billion budget.

Worse than Aceh “I f you lo ok at t he experience of Aceh, Haiti, a nd Japa n t his whole process of rehabilitation and reconstruction w i l l take years to undertake.

Therefore, I think by the time before we can consume all that money, we would be moving to a new year of operat ions [a nd new budget],” he noted.

A c c o r d i n g to t he Un ited Nat ions Development Programme, the rehabilitation cost of Yolanda calamity-stricken areas will be more expensive than of Aceh, Indonesia— e ven t hou g h t he lat ter suffered more deaths: over 100,000 lives were lost when a tsunami hit the peninsula in 2004.

In a privilege speech delivered at the Lower House, Abante Mindanao (Abamin) Rep. Maximo B. Rodriguez, Jr. said the operation of the interi m elect ricit y spot market would increase the rates paid by consumers to as much as ten times the present rates without attaining its objectives of encouraging private sector participation in the IMEM. “The average rate charged today by the PSALM for power generation in Mindanao is less than P3.00 per kilowatt hour (kWh). But the price for electric power to be sold in the IMEM will be as much as P32.00/kWh. It is only in the Philippines where government agencies allow prices for basic commodities to be increased during a period of shortage to ten times their normal price!”

Rep. Rod r ig uez sa id under the IMEM, people in Mindanao suffering from rotating brownouts due to the alleged shortage of power supply, government agencies would allow the price of electricity to increase by 1,000 percent of current prices.

Further, the Mindanao solon said IMEM would pad the profits of Independent Power Producers (IPPs) who own oil-fueled power plants in Mindanao by as much as 20 times what they are now allowed by the Energy Regulation Commission from less than one peso to more than P20/kWh under the IMEM. “In other words, when the IMEM starts commercial operations, there will be an increase of 2,000 percent in the profits of IPPs compared with what they are now earning under regulation by the ERC,” he stressed.

Rep. Rodriguez cited two facts about the power sit u at ion i n M i nd a nao as evidence the rotating brownouts are “artificial and man-made”.

First, that the declared total dependable capacity of PSALM-owned or controlled power plants in Mindanao have been reduced from 1,600 megawatts (MW) in 2010 to only around 1,000MW today, even going down to as much as 760MW this year as evidenced by operating records of t he Nationa l Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP).

Second, he cited t he u n i latera l reduc t ion of PSALM, in violation of the provisions of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 (EPIRA), of the power allocations of almost all power distribution utilities (DUs) in Mindanao. This, despite the improvement in the water levels in the hydroelectric plants due to favorable weather and their continued maintenance and rehabilitation year round. “ W he re d id a l l t he reduction in capacity go?” a sked Rep. E dga rdo R .

“I’d also like to know why the total capacity continues to deteriorate despite all the money spent in repairs and rehabilitation of the hydroelectric plants.”

Besides asking for the deferment of the IMEM by the Department of Energy (DOE), Nationa l Electrif ication Administration (NEA) and the ERC until “the lawful and appropriate conditions are present to justify the establishment of an electricity spot market in Mindanao,” Rep. Rodriguez also asked Congress to immediately carr y out investigations into the circumstances that brought about the IMEM, pr o b e P SA L M for t h e deterioration of power plants it is managing in Mindanao.

“There is evidently a prima facie case for the allegations raised by my honorable colleague from Abamin,” said Rep. Señeres during his interpellation following Rep. Rodriguez privilege speech.

Deticio clarified the city government does not intend to duplicate the DENR’s function of issuing ECCs. He told MindaNews the f irm’s ECCs have vague prov isions, wh ich pose problem s to en forc i ng measures related to proper soil management and flood control.

The vice mayor cited, for instance, that the ECCs simply provides that trees should be planted in the buf fer zone but doesn’t specif y how many trees should be planted per hectare.

Del Monte and Lapanday presented the measures they have done to mitigate soil erosion and flooding.

Dole Skyland, Sumifru Philippines Inc. and Nature’s Fresh were scheduled to attend the hearing next week.

A f t e r t he he a r i n g s , Deticio said, they will pass an ordinance to address flooding in the area.

But he st ressed t hat the upcoming ordinance would not affect the city’s moratorium on the expansion of plantations approved last year.

Monitoring Team cited the need to quantify provisions of t he ECC s for ea sier enforcement.

At least 360 families or over 500 individuals were affected af ter f loods hit the adjoining barangays of Aglayan and Cabangahan on October 5.

The barangay chairmen of the two villages blamed the floods on Lapanday, and called on the firm to stop operations in certain areas But Lapanday officials ma i nt a i ned du r i ng t he he a r i ng t h at t he y h ad complied with mitigation measures. They said the volume of water was really bi g t h at f lo o d i n g w a s unavoidable.

Deticio countered that no flooding occurred in these areas before the plantations came.

Ma. Anita Fernandez, chief of the City Environment a nd Nat u ra l Resou rces Office, told the hearing that flood and soil erosion control measures should start during land preparation.

In her report to the city counci l on October 22, Fernandez recommended the establishment of “specific guidelines/standards for inst itut ing mit igat ing measures /environmental conservation to be strictly followed by the company”.

Her report recommended allotting 10 percent of a plantation’s land area as buf fer zone, a long w it h a specific number of silt traps per hectare depending on slope a nd elevation, i mposit ion of slope or elevation limit, among others.

Fernandez said a company may be allowed to use an area with a slope of 12 percent and above if it can present a “comprehensive soil erosion mitigation plan…prepared and applied with the close mon itor i ng of t he cit y multipartite monitoring team and the barangay concerned.”

“Expansion of plantations in the upper portion of Aglayan and other barangays, in areas with high elevation and critical slopes, should be strictly regulated,” her report said.

It added the firms should install silt traps, check dams and catchment basins.

Fernandez also recommended designing a viable land-use program and eco-friendly farming pract ices to d iscou rage landowners from leasing their lands to agricultural firms.

A zevêdo cited as a n example the invention of the standardized container that facilitated the rapid transfer of cargo from ship to truck.

“The cost of shipping was slashed and trade grew exponentially. Within 20 years, the percentage of the world’s countries operating container ports rose from 1 percent to 90 percent,” he noted.

Azevêdo said innovation is also imperative in trade f i n a nc e , e s p e c i a l ly for small economies facing the consequences of economic crisis.

Recognizing their i mp or t a nc e , t he W T O official said that trade and innovation are well-placed in government strategies for economic growth.

“Both trade and innovation have the potential to create new opportunities, by increasing productivity and competitiveness. The two of them have as well a role to play in promoting social inclusion and development,” he noted.

W it h t h i s , A z e vê do underscored the need for countries to have openness to share and exchange in order for innovation to flourish.

“Resources needed for innovat ion, materia l or immaterial, are rarely found exclusively within the borders of one single country,” he said.

PSALM...

from page B1 Beyond these two plants, PSALM is also lining up next year the privatization of the 650-MW Malaya thermal power facility in Luzon; as well as the 92-MW Mt. Apo 1 and 2 geothermal plants in Mindanao.

B y 2 015, P SA L M i s scheduling to privatize the supply contract of the 200MW Mindanao coal-fired plant operated by Steag State Power Inc.; while set on the auction block in 2016 will be the 728-MW CalirayaBotocan-Kalayaan (CBK) hydropower facility.

In the revised privatization s c he du le d r aw n up by PSALM, it has not included targets for the proposed independent power producer a d m i n i s t r a t o r ( I P PA) engagement for the 150MW Casecnan hydropower plant in Nueva Ecija.

For its 2013 targets, the compa ny a lso i ncluded divestment of two decommissioned plants – the Bataan and Sucat thermal power facilities.

PSALM somehow adv a nc e d i n it s a s s e t s divestments in t he past months, but the strike of super t y phoon Yola nda snagged the award process, primarily for the IPPA of the supply contract of the Unified Leyte geothermal plant.

There is no immediate word from PSALM if it will take the option of rebidding the asset or if it might defer the award of the IPPA deal due to the damage sustained by the Ley te geothermal plants.
