CdO and to the City Tourism & Cultural Affairs Office as the main partners. 10 local bands participated the cause.. This time, three places participated all over the Philippines, South Cotabato, Pangasinan, and Cagayan de Oro City. Playing for Change is a multimedia music project, created by the American producer and sound engineer Mark Johnson with his Timeless Media Group, that seeks to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. Playing For Change was born in 2002 as a shared vision between co-founders, Mark Johnson, Raan Williams and Whitney Kroenke, to hit the streets of America with a mobile recording studio and cameras in search of inspiration and the heartbeat of the people. Producers Johnson and Enzo Buono traveled around the world to places including New
Orleans, Barcelona, South Africa, India, Nepal, the Middle East and Ireland. Using mobile recording equipment, the duo recorded local musicians performing the same song, interpreted in their own
style. Among the artists participating or openly involved in the project are Vusi Mahlasela, Louis Mhlanga, Clarence Bekker, David Guido Pietroni, Tal Ben Ari (Tula), Bono, Keb' Mo', David Broza, Manu
Chao, Grandpa Elliott, Keith Richards, Toots Hibbert from Toots & the Maytals, Taj Mahal and Stephen Marley. This resulted in the award-winning documentary A Cinematic Discovery of Street Musicians.
The new Base Line Center: Breathing Life Into Cebu’s Good Old Days A rapidly growing sector of empowered mid-income professionals and high-end millennials, combined with an exceptional growth in the real estate industry, has rekindled attention to Cebu City’s prestigious former Base Line complex right in the heart of Midtown Cebu. While many real estate developments are found in the city peripheries and reclamation areas, the new Base Line Center project by homegrown real estate firm Cebu Landmasters Inc. (CLI) is located in the city center where shared memories and experiences have already developed across generations of Cebuanos. “For decades, the former Base Line complex was the place to be for family gettogethers, athletics activities, and hanging out with friends. Our centerpiece project plans to bring back all those good memories for all Cebuanos,” said Landmasters Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer Jose R. Soberano III. Nostalgic old days Established in 1973, Base Line was one of the original homegrown lifestyle destination in the city. Base Line Gym offered a venue for workouts, martial arts
classes, and later on wall climbing while Base Line Restaurant had fine dining and an intimate setting for formal events and parties. Tennis and volleyball matches, among other athletic events, were also held at Base Line. With its convenient location along Juana Osmeña Street in the old Cebu uptown, Base Line also became the scene of street parties during Sinulog celebrations every January. “Base Line has become a landmark that many Cebuanos grew up with. Its significance is measured by the way the area itself is known by the name Base Line. With the new Base Line Center, we hope to revive the nostalgic old days while breathing in new life into the area,” said Soberano. Living Life at Baseline Inviting prospective clients with the refrain to “live the life” in Base Line, CLI hopes to attract established professionals like doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs as well as high-end millennials and investors who are not only career-oriented but also aspire to keep up with contemporary urban lifestyles. A modern and
upscale development on a 1.6-hectare prime lot, the Base Line Center will be a combination of office, residential, hospitality and commercial hub that seeks to address the growing preference by professionals and millennials for mixeduse communities where they can be close to shops, restaurants, and offices. The Base Line Center will be developed in two phases. Phase 1 includes Base Line HQ (Tower 1 Office condo), Citadines Cebu City(Tower 1 Serviced Residences), Base Line Premier (Tower 2 Residential) and ground and second floor commercial spaces that will feature a supermarket, a fitness gym, food, dining, retail outlets, and alfresco areas. Moreover, there will be a separate and independent lobby access for office and residential users to ensure privacy and security, landscaped gardens and well-preserved mature trees, surface, basement and podium parking, as well as an internal road and pedestrian network. “There is growing preference for a more vibrant urban living that emphasizes location with a strong sense of history.
Base Line Center not only provides this through its features and amenities but also attends to the growing desire for green spaces with its sky gardens where one could just relax, unwind and enjoy the view” said Soberano. Strategic location Apart from its impressive features and amenities, Baseline Center, also boasts of a strategic location that is conveniently right in the middle of shopping centers, commercial establishments, schools, hospitals, churches, and government offices. The Fuente Osmeña Circle, the Redemptorist Parish Church, as well as the Rizal Museum and Library along Osmeña Boulevard will just be a walking distance from the Base Line Center. “What we’re trying to build is a unique community that ultimately makes life worth living. With almost everything literally on your doorsteps, your time and resources are not wasted on long traffic hours. It means less stress and more time for rest, recreation, work and other fulfilling activities,” he said. Cebu Landmasters will be opening a new chapter in the history of Base
Line as it creates a vibrant and sustainable hub that continues the historical legacy as a preferred lifestyle center for generations of Cebuanos. Prospect buyers and unit owners can take a look at the Base Line Center Showroom located inside the property where the tennis courts used to be. The showroom
showcases residential model units, including a studio, one-bedroom, 2 studio units combined to make 1 bedroom and a loft type unit. For more information, contact the showroom at (032) 340 1497 and 0917 559 7885 or visit the CLI website at www.cebulandmasters. com.

Since yesterday (I write this piece Saturday, September 24, 2016!), Syria is being bombarded by air as army prepares ground invasion of Aleppo. Syria’s armed forces have called on civilians in Aleppo to flee rebel-held areas ahead of a ground offensive. The country has witnessed an escalation of violence in the wake of a nationwide “cessation of hostilities.” The Russian-backed Syrian army launched dozens of airstrikes yesterday Friday on rebel-held areas of the northwestern city of Aleppo in preparation for a ground offensive, state media and several news agencies reported on Friday, citing military officials. Numerous reports emerged of damage to emergency service facilities and underground shelters, leading many residents of the embattled city to hide in their homes, unable to flee. In 2015, Russia launched a military campaign in Syria to bolster Assad’s rule. But the conflict is raging
with no end in sight. “With respect to the air or artillery strikes, they may continue for some time depending on the field situation and the terrorists’ losses,” a Syrian military source told Reuters news agency. “Like any military operation, it starts with preparatory airstrikes and artillery, and then the ground forces work according to the results of the strikes and their impact,” the source added. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor that uses a nationwide network of informants, reported by early evening at least 40 airstrikes. The White Helmets rescue agency reported that at least 93 people had been killed during Friday’s barrage. The Syrian army on Thursday announced “the start of its operations in the eastern districts of Aleppo,” warning civilians to stay clear of “the headquarters and positions of the armed terrorist gangs.” The regime in Damascus regularly uses the term “terrorist” to describe all those fighting against the
rule of President Bashar al-Assad. The escalation of violence in Syria comes in the wake of a nationwide ceasefire brokered by the US and Russia that collapsed earlier this week. US State Secretary John Kerry called on Moscow and Damascus to halt aerial raids in a bid to salvage the “cessation of hostilities.” However, the Observatory reported apparent Russian aircraft taking part in airstrikes on Aleppo, Syria’s second city. Syria descends into chaos. My heart is bleeding. And not only mine! What’s happening now is annihilation in every sense of the word, someone told the international news agency Reuter. Water services have also been severed for nearly two million Syrians in Aleppo following Thursday and Friday’s attacks, reported UNICEF, the United Nations children’s agency. More than 300,000 people in Syria have been killed and half the population displaced since government forces launched a brutal

Catering service owner gets 20-year maximum jail term for unpaid SSS contributions An owner of a catering service was convicted by the Regional Trial Court of Quezon City for failure to remit the monthly contributions of its employees to the Social Security System (SSS) in violation of Republic Act 8282 or Social Security Act of 1997. SSS Assistant Vice President for Operations Legal Department Atty. Renato Jacinto S. Cuisia said the court has sentenced Henry Marcos, who owns Henry Marcos Catering Services, to imprisonment of four years and two months as minimum to twenty years as maximum. Marcos was also liable to pay P1,358,573.24 in civil liabilities representing unpaid contributions of his 11 employees including penalties as of December 16, 2013.

penalty was imposed every month on the delinquency until fully paid. “We would like to remind employers that no matter how small or big their business is, they are required by law to register with SSS and report their employees. The law did not make any distinction as to how many employees a company should have before reporting it to SSS,” said Cuisia. According to the decision, the state-run institution discovered the delinquent contributions following the examination of records carried out by SSS Junior Specialist Nenita M. Pascual, who at the time served as an account officer under the SSS Novaliches Branch. Based on her assessment of the catering service’s employment records, Pascual issued a billing letter indicating the company’s total SSS

delinquency which was duly received on September 22, 2006. Despite several follow-ups and multiple opportunities given by SSS to settle the computed contribution delinquency, Marcos failed to comply with the company’s social security obligations. The pension fund then issued a demand letter to the company on April 19, 2007. “As much as possible, we want to avoid the tedious process of litigation and just settle the controversy outside the courts for speedy resolution for the benefit of the company’s workers. However, since Marcos did not cooperate, we do not have other recourse but to file a case in court,” said Cuisia. Marcos posted a cash bond to obtain his provisional liberty on January 26, 2009. However, he jumped bail after his arraignment on

The trial continued despite his absence. “We ask for assistance from the former employees of Mr. Marcos and the rest of the public in obtaining any information regarding his whereabouts. At present, he remains at large and his punishment cannot be meted out,” said Cuisia. The law requires employers to report all their employees for SSS coverage within 30 days from the start of their employment. Companies are also legally-bound to remit the contributions of their employees to SSS every month. Late contribution payments of employers incur a three percent monthly penalty. “We urge company employees to monitor their employers’ remittance of their monthly contributions by opening an account at the My.SSS portal of the SSS website at www.sss.gov.ph
