OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE SHRINE AT IGBALALAY HILLS (A LENTEN RELIGIOUS TOURISM DESTINATION)
Lifecasting – creating replicas one Filipino child at a time Story by MARK FRANCISCO
LIFECASTING is the process of creating a three-dimensional copy of a living human body through the use of molding and casting techniques. The most common lifecasts are of torsos and it’s exactly what Althea Lorenzo does. Despite her rare esteemed status as probably the only lifecasting artist in the country, Lorenzo firmly keeps her feet on the ground. In fact, the 30-year-old lady
from Davao City has a day job as a quality assurance manager in a pharmaceutical firm and only does her craft during weekends. Nevertheless, her clients come as far as Cagayan de Oro and Cebu. Lorenzo visits Cagayan de Oro City at least twice each year. It was on the weekend of April 9 that I made sure that I get to interview her during the rare moments that she is in this town. lifecasting/PAGE 11

fake news Fake news are not new but just simply to be spread via the World Wide Web and here especially social media platforms. Actually since several months, I avoid reading and especially spreading news in Facebook. Good to know that Facebook to tackle fake news with educational campaign... . Users will be directed to Facebook’s help centre where they can get detailed advice. Facebook is launching an educational tool as part of measures it is taking to counter fake news. For three days, an ad will appear at the top of users’ news feeds linking to advice on “how to spot fake news” and report it. The campaign, which will be promoted in 14 countries, is “designed to help people become more discerning readers”, the social media firm said. These countries are Germany, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan, Myanmar (Burma), Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina,United States, and Canada. Bu, t experts questioned whether the measure would have any real impact. “Until Facebook stops rewarding the architects of fake news with huge traffic, this problem will just get worse,” Tom Felle, a lecturer in digital journalism at City University told the BBC. Starting today Friday, April 7, 2017, users who click on Facebook’s ads will be redirected to its help centre, where they will see a list of 10 tips for identifying false stories. These include looking at an article’s URL, investigating the source of a story and thinking more critically about whether an article is a joke. It also recommends being “sceptical of headlines”, as false news stories “often have catchy headlines in all caps with exclamation points”. Facebook’s new guide is a useful primer on the basic principles of good journalism. If all the millions who will see it popping up in their feeds read and digest it, maybe it will have an effect. But it will only be there for three days and one has to suspect that it will be read in the main by people
who are already suitably H ave M y Say sceptical about hoaxes and propaganda. So I’m not convinced that this will be seen as a game changer in the battle to make Facebook a place you go to find the truth, rather than wallow in your friends’ prejudices. What could be more Klaus Doring effective is a German plan to combat hate speech and fake news that Facebook does not like one bit. German chancellor Angela Merkel’s government has just approved plans which could see social networks fined up to 50 million Euros if they fail to remove illegal content within 24 hours. However, critics also said the tool was just one part of a broader strategy, and that there was “no silver bullet”. Indeed, in my opinion, Facebook should go further. One of the biggest problems with fake news is that the algorithms that run social media sites like Facebook and search engines such as Google are being gamed by black ops companies. Facebook has been under pressure to combat fake news on its platform after claims it was used to sway voters during the US presidential campaign. Examples include a story that falsely claimed President Obama had banned the pledge of allegiance in US schools, and another fake news item, saying former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was part of a paedophile ring. Facebook has since taken action to improve its monitoring and reporting processes. +++ Email: doringklaus@gmail.com or follow me in Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin or visit my www. germanexpatinthephilippines.blogspot.com or www. klausdoringsclassicalmusic.blogspot.com.

Egss-traordinary Easter Toys and Treats at SM M
any cherished Easter traditions highlight the Christian celebration of Christ’s resurrection, as well as the coming of spring. Easter eggs and chicks symbolize new life. Eggs have been a symbol of spring since ancient times, and are also symbols of the rock tomb out of which Christ emerged when He rose again. The chick hatching out of the egg symbolizes new life or rebirth. In ancient times, the rabbit was a symbol of abundant new life. It is said that the Easter bunny first arrived in America in the 1700s with European settlers
in Pennsylvania who brought with them their tradition of an egg laying hare called “Osterhase.” Later on, the tradition spread across America and started to include chocolates, candies, gifts and decorated baskets many in egg, chick, and bunny shapes. Today, many families around the world celebrate Easter with Sunday Mass and lots of sweet treats for kids, including fun egg hunts. At SM, Toy Kingdom and Snack Exchange has eggstraordinary and amazing toys and treats, gifts, and surprises for kids of all ages.

NutriHani’s First Car Achiever A Teacher from Malaybalay City By Joel Escol Feature Editor
“I liked the system. I saw ordinary people changed their lives, from miseries to financial prosperity. I am a professional teacher but my heart belongs to helping other people improve their lives. From the time I mastered the system I just follow it and never stop.” This is the strong message uttered by Nutrihani’s top earner and first car achiever, Mr. Roger B. Gelacio, during an exclusive interview. He started the business the NutriHani way, just last year, but now already owns a brand Toyota Avanza 2017 model, for bagging the number 1 spot in the company’s top performer and leadership award. The NutriHani management said they gave the Leadership Award to Mr Gelacio, as he was very active every day, going to places and does one on one and group business presentations. Gelacio, report said, became the top performer, thus, achieving the goals and visions of NutriHani. “Hinayhinay lang ta basta kanunay. Moabot ra lage ta sa kinatumyan ug mahimong magmalampuson, the very humble awardee said. He said he did not expect to receive the leadership award because he is not thinking of it. He just did what is expected
of him as a leader of the very promising MLM company based in Bukidnon. “Until the management told me I was the company’s top performer in terms of sales and productions this early. I was very happy. Nagbunga jud akong paghago, traveling from places to places around Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro.” CHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY TO SUCCESS The journey of the 38 year old teacher from Malaybalay City was never easy. There were lots of challenges, he said, that almost toppled him down. “At the very start of my MLM business, my wife was very negative and those were really very difficult to handle. My sister and brothers and all other relatives were also negative of the business.” “I had no choice but to prove myself first that I was
right in my chosen career path. I was determined to achieve, so no amount of challenges could ever stop me from achieving success. Thanks God, I am now harvesting the fruit of my sacrifices. Thanks to my mentor and to all the positive people around me, especially my business partners.” Gelacio said MLM business is a new business system that each business partner will only follow and will surely give success in the long run. “The system is only duplication and you can’t go wrong if you just follow it and be able to duplicate.” TOP QUALITY PRODUCTS Gelacio was very proud that aside from the very supportive management of NutriHani and the very down to earth CEO and president Noel J. Blanco and his wife Cora, the
health and wellness products of the company are also of top quality and the packaging is great. Among the products of NutriHani include Nutri Up, Nutri Choco, Nutri Coffee, Nutri Juice, Argan oil, Liniment oil, Aya Whitening Lotion, Aya Insta White, among others. AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN THIS YEAR Meanwhile Nutrihani President and CEO Noel J. Blanco also announced the company will have more satellite branches in the coming months, as part of its aggressive marketing campaign this year, to reach out to more people in the countryside. Right now, the company is already operating in Batangas, Palawan, Davao, General Santos, Cotabato City, Wao, Bukidnon, Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro City.

Alsons restocks Sarangani Bay with milkfish hatchlings April 17-20, 2017
Alsons Power Group subsidiar y Sarangani Energy Corporation (SEC), together with the Conrado and Ladislawa Alcantara Foundation Inc. and Alsons Aquaculture Corporation led volunteers in releasing at least 105,0 0 0 bangus (milkfish) hatchlings into Sarangani Bay. The activity is part of the power firm’s commitment in improving the quality of life for residents in the communities where it operates. Alsons Power Corporate Affairs and Community Relations head Ruben Tungpalan disclosed that the Alcantara
Foundation – the corporate social responsibility arm of the Alcantara Group – has been spearheading fish seeding activities since 2012 in partnership with Alsons Aquaculture Corporation, SEC and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Tungpalan says the fish seeding is done twice a year to help ensure an abundant population of milkfish fr y in Sarangani Bay. Alsons Aquaculture Corporation is the countr y’s largest fully-integrated producer and processor of milkfish under the Sarangani Bay trademark-
providing more than half the national requirement for prime milkfish. The 105,0 0 0 milkfish fr y were released from the SEC jetty site, underscoring the power company’s commitment to uphold environmentallysound practices in the conduct of its operations with its 210 -megawatt baseload plant located in Maasim, Sarangani. The fish seeding was only one of several activities that marked the ceremonial switchon for the first 105 -megawatt section of the baseload plant hat started operating in April
last year, and the start of civil works for the second 105 -megawatt section of the plant. As the countr y’s first and most experienced independent power producer in Mindanao, the
Alsons Power Group has been steadfast in its commitment to help Mindanao grow its economy by providing a reliable and stable supply of electricity that helped end the power crisis, helping fuel the
region’s dynamic growth through SEC and the other power subsidiaries, namely the Southern Philippines Power Corporation, Western Mindanao Power Corporation and the Mapalad Power Corporation.

Smart has finished its LTE deployment in Boracay and Metro Davao, where average LTE download speed has quadrupled to 17 Mbps. Efforts are ongoing in Metro Cebu and Metro Manila, but improvements are already being felt. For instance, an average download speed of 16.3 Mbps and an average upload speed of 13.4 Mbps on Smart’s LTE service have been recorded in the southern Metro Manila cities of Las Piñas, Taguig, Parañaque, and Muntinlupa. Welcome Change To communicate its digital pivot, Smart unveiled a new logo resembling the Greek letter Delta which means change. Smart also

To help Filipinos discover what the digital life has to offer, Smart is expanding its library of relevant content through partnerships with the likes of iflix, Netflix, Cignal, ABS-CBN’s iWantTV, and recently, Fox. Smart is also partnering with device makers like Vivo, Oppo, O+ USA, MyPhone, and Starmobile to be able to offer smartphones, especially LTE devices, at different price points. On top of these efforts, Smart continues to introduce affordable and value-packed products such as GigaSurf50 which offers 1.3GB of data valid for three days, for only P50. String of int’l accolades Smart has won several awards at the ACA, including Operator of the Year in 2011 and 2012. Last year, Smart TechnoCart – a mobile digital laboratory donated to public schools to develop literacy among kindergarten students – won the Social Contribution Award.

SSS supports timely passage of holistic tax reform package
The Social Security System has expressed its support for the holistic and timely passage of the tax reform proposal of the Department of Finance (DOF) which mainly aims for a simpler, fairer and more efficient tax system in the country that will benefit largely the poor and middle-income earners. “We, at SSS, fully support the passage of the first package of the Comprehensive Tax Reform Program of President Rodrigo Duterte under the leadership of Finance Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez III,” Social Ashley Gosengfiao with Lenovo Philippines Country General Manager Michael Ngan Security Commission
Chairman Amado D. Valdez said. DOF said some 4.66 million taxpayers, or more than double the current figure of 1.8 million, will no longer pay their PIT under the government’s highly progressive CTRP. “We are in the same path with Secretary Dominguez’s aim to bring more money into the people’s pocket. With this, taxpayers will have an extra room in their budget to save up for their future and ensure that they will have enough when they leave the workforce. We hope that the package be passed into law in time with the schedule
targeted by the DOF,” Valdez said. DOF said those earning between the above-minimum wage rate and P22,000 a month will pay zero tax under HB 4774. The first P82,000 in the 13th month pay and other bonuses will be exempted from the PIT computation. For instance, a call center agent who earns P21,000 a month with a gross income of P273,000 inclusive of the 13th month pay and other benefits, will still fall under the zerotax bracket. This will save him or her almost P22,000 in foregone supports/PAGE 11

Star, Inc. and 7-Eleven to introduce e-commerce business model
Technology company Star Telecom Alliance Resources Inc. (STAR, Inc.), makers of Filipino mobile phone
brand Starmobile, has forged a partnership with convenience store chain 7-Eleven to introduce an innovative e-commerce
business model that aims to make online shopping easier for consumers nationwide. This partnership will allow customers to order PLAY Lite and PLAY Five through 7-Eleven’s multichannel CLIQQ store, found on Google Play and the Apple App Store, as well as electronic kiosks and catalogs instores. Once they have confirmed their orders, they can pick-up their orders the following day. Customers can opt to pay for them digitally through any of CLIQQ’s platforms or in-person through 7-Eleven counters, before or after they pick-up their chosen phones, using cash or credit card. “This e-commerce model that gives customers a variety of flexible discovery, payment, and pick-up
options first rolled out in 7-Eleven stores in Taiwan. It has proven so successful that 35% of all e-commerce packages in the country now go through 7-Eleven branches, eventually helping make Taiwan the world’s most developed e-commerce market, with 18% share of total retail,” said Dan Marogy of 7-Eleven Philippines. “We aim to pilot this program together with Starmobile in selected Metro Manila stores starting April 24.” “This partnership with 7-Eleven supports our mission to bring our various devices even closer to more Filipinos. Not only are we making the latest mobile technologies more accessible to Filipinos in terms of price points, we are also making them accessible in terms of ordering, payment, and
availability venues,” said STAR, Inc. Product Development Head Michael Chen. In addition to giving customers more options to purchase their favorite Starmobile phones, this e-commerce model also aims to address two key realities facing the e-commerce industry in the country today – small retail baskets and expensive fulfillment
logistics. Seventy-five percent of offline retail transactions in the Philippines cost Php 600.00 and below. However, online vendors can spend up to an average of Php 150.00 fulfilling these orders, with expenses going even higher when returns and failed deliveries are factored. This eats into their margins and model/PAGE 11
Globe shortlisted in 3 categories of Asia-Pacific Excellence Awards GLOBE Telecom has been shortlisted in 3 different categories of the Asia-Pacific Excellence Awards, created to honor the most outstanding achievements in the field of corporate communications, PR and public affairs. Specifically, Globe was shortlisted in the following categories: Telecommunications, Sustainability and Environment, and Film and Video. In the Telecommunications category, Globe gained citation for its #1stWorldInternetPH campaign in line with its vision of a progressive Philippines empowered by the nation-building benefits of faster internet. As the leading mobile telco in the country, Globe took it to task to mount a campaign seeking the cooperation of local government units (LGUs) to hasten the approval of building cell sites to give Filipinos internet experience that is at par with developed countries. The campaign is premised on difficulties in securing various permits from LGUs amid rampant bureaucratic red tape. The campaign took public the behindclosed-doors issue and turned a problem into an opportunity for local

governments to show vision and leadership. It took the form of public service announcements delivered via social media to get constituents to appeal for faster internet to their respective LGUs. The interactive and participatory aspect empowered the general public to raise the issue directly to their LGUs. At the same time, Globe directly appealed to LGUs at the 2016 Regional Competitiveness Summit, a national gathering of local government leaders, to make internet infrastructure development a top priority for the economic progress of their cities and regions. To underline Globe’s commitment to its vision, the company worked with the city government of Manila to showcase what was possible when both telco and LGU work towards a common goal. Internet infrastructure upgrade work in Binondo, Manila (the world’s oldest Chinatown and its first “fiber district”), was accomplished 8 times faster than usual. Collectively, these actions prompted voluntary and enthusiastic cooperation from LGUs and has been helping expedite internet infrastructure
development in the country. The company’s Disaster-Preparedness campaign is likewise shortlisted in two different categories namely Sustainability and Environment, and Film and Video. According to Globe Senior Vice President for Corporate Communications and Chief Sustainability Officer Yoly Crisanto, this is part of the company’s commitment to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Globe started the disaster-preparedness movement under the brand’s advocacy pillar for environmental sustainability. The campaign involved collaboration with environmental filmmakers to create videos featuring communities who live in disaster zones. The films captured human moments of individuals facing and preparing for the next disaster. It sought to underline the urgency of disaster preparedness and how mobile technology becomes a tool for survival and awareness. This message was taken to social media. The films launched on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Within days of
posting, the films racked up tens of thousands of views and interactions, especially for the features on Bataan and Bohol that brought to light stark realizations and education about how these communities have learned to cope and survive within the constant threats of disaster. “At the heart of Globe Telecom is the thrust of creating a wonderful world – one that is enhanced not only by telecommunications and digital innovation, but also sustained and enriched by a thriving environment. We purposefully started the two campaigns in support of the brand’s advocacy pillars for better internet experience and environmental sustainability. The citation from the AsiaPacific Excellence Awards deepens our commitment to these pillars,” Crisanto said. The Excellence Awards is hosted by Communication Director, a global magazine for corporate communications and public relations focused in providing real insights into today’s multinational communications. The awards have been celebrating the achievements awards/PAGE 11

proposed adjustments in consumption taxes,” Dominguez said earlier. The DOF said earlier that the target passage of the tax reform package will be in May this year, to be implemented in the succeeding month. To date, the Ways and Means Committee in the lower house has recently agreed to pass in principle the CTRP. It is subject to the creation of a Technical Working Group (TWG) that would draw up a substitute bill consolidating the proposed reforms by the DOF with other taxrelated proposals by the lawmakers.

discourages them from investing further in their e-commerce channels. “We are optimistic about this model as this leverages 7-Eleven’s logistics operations – one of the most
efficient in the country – and remove the last-mile expense and costs associated with running an e-commerce warehouse by using our stores as pick up locations,” said Marogy. “In addition, this also reduces failed deliveries by giving customers an incentive to prepay instore.” “As we apply this to the local market and learn about Filipinos’ reception to the model, we hope to eventually expand our product offering and store availability,” said Chen. “The more it becomes cost-effective for us, the more we will be able to bring down price points and make our devices even more affordable for our customers.” This venture builds on 7-Eleven’s retail partnership with STAR, Inc. which began in 2014, when the convenience store started carrying Starmobile devices in their stores.

SSS warns public of fake checks
The Social Security System (SSS) warned its members and the public of a possible spread of fake checks after the pension fund was informed that a grocery store received as payment a fake SSS check. SSS Senior Vice President for Luzon Operations Group Josie G. Magana said that the fake SSS check amounting to P20,000 was used to pay groceries at Catanduanes Supermart of Virac Catanduanes by a certain Gina S. Henzon. “According to Precious Sorra, Secretary of the supermart, they accepted the check after verifying the voter's ID of the buyer which looked valid. However, upon deposit of the check with their bank, they were informed that it was spurious,” said Magana. Sorra immediately went to SSS Virac to report the fake check. Afterwhich, SSS Virac Branch Head Divina T. Avila instructed Edgar S. Rubio, Officer-In-Charge for Admin Section to check the name and SS number of Henzon. However, the SS number was invalid and such name is not registered
in the SSS database. “Aside from nonexisting name and invalid SS number, the signatories in the check who were employees of SSS Urdaneta were also forged. Authorized signatories of SSS checks are not rankand-file employees,” said Magana. Avila later on instructed Jerald F. Competente, Verifier of SSS Virac to make a follow-up investigation at Barangay Palta Small in Virac which was the address indicated in the check. Based on the investigation, people in the area do not know Henzon and is not a resident of the said barangay. “We advise the public, especially establishments, that before they accept checks as payment, kindly call SSS first to verify its authenticity. Also, valid SSS checks are attached to a voucher indicating the information about the payee as well as payment details from SSS,” said Magana. To report fake checks, members and the public may call the SSS hotline at numbers 920-6446 to 55 or email member_relations@ sss.gov.ph.
