BUTUAN City--One hundred ten vote-counting machines malfunctioned in various precincts across Caraga Region on Monday, but only 25 replacements arrived from Manila on the evening of election day, an election official said. Lawyer Renato Magbutay, Commission on Elections regional director, said the replacements were sent on a 6:35p.m. flight to Butuan City and were estimated to arrive at the affected precincts around 10p.m. Monday. “Of the 25 that arrived, 12 will go to Agusan del Sur and the rest to Surigao del Sur. The voting continued where the machines broke down, but we had to hold the feeding and secured the ballots,” he said. “We will wait for the replacement machines to arrive. Once they arrive then the teachers, the BEI’s will feed the ballots by batches to the machines,” he added. Magbutay assured they See malfunction, page A11

A2 Davao Region Duterte mulls amending economic provisions in Charter - spokesperson
Mindanao Daily News, Wednesday, May 11, 2016
mindanaodailynews@gmail.com
DAVAO City -- Presumptive president Rodrigo R. Duterte is planning to initiate major changes in the economic provisions of the Constitution, including those on foreign business ownership, to attract more investors. In a press conference
Tuesday, Peter T. Laviña, spokesperson of Duterte, said such changes must be undertaken to align the country’s policies with developments in the ASEAN community. “There will be an initial jittery effect in the market but I think from the start
of a new administration, the mayor would be very firm in making sure that the business environment would be friendly. There will be a little lull when we undertake this constitutional process,” he said. He emphasized the incoming administration will
Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, Compostela Valley
continue the gains of the President Benigno S. Aquino III, whose leadership resulted in the economic boom that earned the country favorable credit ratings. “But investors would be welcoming such changes because this is for the better. This is not a retrogression that we will withdraw anything that is necessary to move our country forward,” he said. “He (Duterte) will copy and continue programs that are rebounding to the good of the people. We will review the programs and certainly replace those that don’t work,” he added. Laviña said one such policy that Duterte might consider reviewing is the 6040 rule on foreign business ownership in the Philippines. At present, the country limits the foreign ownership

of businesses to 40 percent and 60 percent to Filipinos under Republic Act 7042, also known as the Foreign Investments Act of 1991. Duterte told reporters Monday evening that he can allow a 60-40 arrangement in favor of foreigners, or even 100-percent ownership of a business. He said what he cannot allow is the selling of lands to foreigners, as the country’s land is “sacred”. “I will now agree to selling a piece of our properties. Hangang dyan lang but not selling of properties. China has blossomed without selling a piece of their soil. Why should I? My country is sacred,” he said. “We are poor and if you allow the selling of lands, everybody who has one hectare will sell it. And we will find ourselves and our
children in the foreign land,” he said. He said the country is not “in the position of strength at this time” to reclaim, if ever, what would be sold to the foreigners. On the Philippine stock market, Duterte, who admitted he has no background in economics, said he was more concerned about the inflow of hard investments. “I can’t talk about economics or what the Makati Business Club wanted me to discuss. Hindi ako Wharton (graduate). I told you I’m a mayor and a prosecutor. I do not really care about the stock market, pera lang yan naglalaro, what I want is hard investment. If that is the Makati concept of getting the country into prosperity, you’re silly,” he said. (Antonio L. Colina IV/MindaNews)

Justice and mercy
THINK a minute. Have you ever missed a bus or plane because you were just a little too late? Recently I had to catch a plane for a very important meeting, so I got to the airport early and waited for the announcement to board the plane. The announcement never came. When I finally went to the gate, I was shocked to see it was closing and the airplane engines had started! I panicked and tried to get the airline worker to let me in. I had nothing to lose and was desperate so I told her I wasn’t asking for justice, I was begging for mercy. Well, she did not give it to me.

debt to Him for all our sins. We don’t need justice, we need mercy! None of us can ever reach God’s standard of perfect goodness in everything we think, say, and do. That’s why God the Son
became a human being to do it for us. Jesus said that our only hope is His mercy, because He has already paid the penalty for all our sins by giving His own perfect life for us on the cross. We just have to ask and believe that He will give us His free gift of forgiveness and new, eternal life. Then we can start life all over again, loving Him and living His right way that He plans for us to enjoy. So today, won’t you ask Jesus for His free gift of forgiveness and new life? Then ask Him to start changing you so you can live His successful and satisfying way He created you for. Just Think a Minute.

You know that terrible feeling when you’ve done something wrong and you know you deserve to suffer the consequences? Every religion, except Christianity, has certain rules or rituals and good deeds that people must do to try to earn their god’s forgiveness for their wrongs. Some religions even make people torture and punish themselves to pay the penalty for their own wrongs. But Jesus Christ showed that there is absolutely nothing we can do to earn or deserve God’s forgiveness for all the wrongs we’ve done. Not even our religious prayers, duties, and deeds come close to paying our
a bugoy accountant from Skien, Ryan was the picture of happiness and contentment. He’s started schooling to train for mental health services here. Filmor’s email expressed his deep sorrow at contemplating his impending leave of my nest. It told of his appreciation at how I have come to become a mother to him. Ry made clucking sounds and smiled sympathetically as I choked up every now and then. Well, God thought it best not to give me boys to birth. My boys came to me all grown and not needing to have their noses and bottoms wiped. See them filling up my office. They come and go, but there’s always three or four whose footsteps would converge at my door at any given time.
Yeah, I do seem to have a knack at mothering boys. They come off stronger and more sure of what they can do and what they want in life. Soon, it seems like it’s a given that they’ll go away and take root somewhere. But I’ll always find them again. It’s always a great pleasure to check up on one of my boys and to find them well and happy and living their lives being a blessing to others. Like Ryan. I arrived in Skien four days ago when there was still a biting chill in the air. Almost immediately, Tim bundled us all in the car to catch the snow at his mountain cabin in Seljord. The perfect host, he rustled up snow gear for me. He helped me strap on my snow
shoes with a reminder to “Walk like you’ve got balls.” And for three days more, he had me walking like I indeed had balls – through the snow and the mountains and down by the beach. Tim is like a walking NatGeo guide – a veritable fount of details on Norway’s history, geography, its people, traditions, and industries. He genuinely loves this land of crags and fjords and is proud of the people who tamed it. So there I was on Mothers Day morning relishing the reception Tim and Ryan had given me. Norway is about the outdoors and that, much to my delight, was indeed was what they gave me. Now and then, I lurk on my Liane’s Facebook to find hubby mothering our girls while I am away. Father Hen

President Duterte can stop corruption and criminality during the six years that he will be in Malacanang. Let us assume further that he can make our people a disciplined race while he is in power. Will these achievements under a Duterte presidency continue after 2022, when he himself bows out of power, assuming he will not be ousted in the meantime? The examples we saw in our country indicate that whatever victory we achieved in battling corruption and criminality in our country subsisted only for as long as the leader who launched these battles were in office. After they stepped
down from power, legally or otherwise, the gains they managed to achieve also step down with them and are dissipated irretrievably. -oooD U T E RT E C A N N O T CHANGE RP & FILIPINOS ALONE: With due respect, I believe that the same thing will happen to Duterte.

Barangay Bottom-Up Budgeting (BBUB):
Caraga A5 mindanaodailynews@gmail.com
Bringing Participative Governance to the Barangays The implementation of Bottom-Up Budgeting which embodies inclusive growth, participative governance, and people consultation at its very best has been remarkably successful in cities and municipalities all over the country. The gains and benefits of BUB after only three (3) years of implementation is already being felt and so national government deemed it appropriate to bring the Project down to the barangay level. Communities are the ultimate beneficiaries of improved delivery of basic
services, development in the barangays will translate to progressive and peaceful communities which would eventually be the over-all picture of the country. This is the overarching goal of Barangay Bottom-Up Budgeting (BBUB). Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) Joint Memorandum Circular (JMC) No. 8
provides the policy guidelines and procedures in the implementation of BBUB. BBUB’s target is to cover all barangays by Fiscal Year (FY) 2019. The pilot phase will cover at least 30% of the total number of barangays in 2017 subject to the criteria provided in the JMC. Recipient barangays will be given PhP1 M through direct downloading of funds to the barangays. It shall be utilized for identified priority projects and activities in line with the delivery of basic services and facilities per section 17 (b) of the Local Government Code (LGC).
BUTUAN City -- The Philippine Rural Development Project–National Project Coordination Office (PRDPNPCO) reports that Caraga’s approved infrastructure and enterprise subprojects have already reached a total of P982,605,907. Intensified Building-Up of Infrastructure and Logistics for Development (IBUILD) Component which aims to put in place strategic
and climate-resilient rural infrastructure facilities along the value chain got the bulk of this amount with nineteen approved subprojects amounting to a total of P 966,385,906.98.

Other than the approved 19 subprojects, I-BUILD for Caraga still has five subprojects in the pipeline which has a total amount of P516,563,803.89 and hoped to be approved within the
year. These infrastructure subprojects would translate to improved road networks linking production areas with markets to enhance efficiency of transporting agricultural products; increased productivity from irrigation and water supply systems; and lower postharvest losses. The 24 I-BUILD subprojects for Caraga would create a total amount of P1,482,949,710.92. I-BUILD team in the region is doing its best to

K to 12 curriculum in the new administration By CECILLE M. RICO TCNSS, Tangub City
THIS year 2016 is a very significant one in the country, the Philippines. First, this will be the initial year that Senior High will be implemented here. And second, there will be a new president ushering in our homeland. That only means one thing – we will have a new Education secretary. We do not know yet what the policies of the new administration will be. But one thing’s sure – the K to 12 curriculum is here to stay. Thus we as educators must continue striving hard for the betterment of the education of our kids. With this incoming administra-
tion, we still must continue steering our children to be intellectually equipped so we will be at par not just here in Southeast Asia but throughout the world. Of course, private philanthropists from other countries have slowly noticed our efforts. For instance, a software company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah aims to change Philippine classrooms by introducing a cloud-based learning management system that reduces the use of blackboards. This will be initially available in private schools but as its demand here is expected to rise, then this will be ultimately available in public schools as well.

NGCP seeks permit for clearing of planted trees along critical lines
ILIGAN City--Power grid operator NGCP reiterates its plea for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to issue a blanket authority and special permit to prune/ trim or cut intentionally and maliciously planted trees along transmission line corridors. The blanket authority, if issued, will support and help expedite NGCP’s efforts in clearing deliberately planted trees underneath transmission lines which cause line outages and power interruptions. To date, the DENR already issued Tree Cutt ing Per mit No. R10TCP-14-07-10122016 authorizing the cutting of trees along the Agus 2- Baloi 138kV line, traversing the municipalities of Pantar and Balo-I, Lanao del Norte. However, this covers only one out of eight lines in Mindanao identified as critical because of ROW issues. The seven other lines identified as critical are: Agus 2 – Kibawe 138kV Lines, Agus 1 – Agus 2 138kV Line, Baloi – Agus 6 138kV Lines, Baloi – Agus 6 69kV Line, Baloi – Tagoloan 138kV Lines, Baloi – IDPP 138kV Line, and Baloi –Aurora 138kV Lines. Permits are likewise needed for the 83 transmission lines in 79 municipalities throughout the country that remain vulnerable to transmission related power interruptions. Uncooperative land claimants refuse our line personnel access to the properties for the conduct of clearing and maintenance activities. “Any and all forms of government support to address violations of line safety clearances, particularly maliciously planted trees, will facilitate the efficient delivery of power transmission services to our customers in Mindanao and the rest of the country,” stated NGCP. To prevent longer power interruptions, NGCP continues to appeal to the local community and its leaders to help identify the perpetrators of tower bombings, and to negotiate with uncooperative claimants who deliberately and maliciously plant trees underneath transmission lines. NGCP is a privately See seeks, page A11

Paje hails Scientists size up Supermassive black hole, 660M times bigger than sun enactment of Green MOSCOW--Scientists using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile have measured a black hole 660 million times as massive as our Sun. Scientists have used the ALMA of telescopes in Chile’s Atacama Desert to measure the black hole at the center of a galaxy dubbed NGC 1332, which is 73 million light years away from Earth.
They measured the size of the black hole by studying ALMA’s observations of carbon monoxide emissions from a giant disc of cold gas approximately 16 light years across, which is orbiting the black hole. They also measured the speed of the gas, and found it to move at more than 500 kilometers per second near the disk’s center. The scientists then compared these data with simu-

lations and calculated that the black hole has a mass 660 million times greater than our Sun, plus or minus ten percent, and about 150 times the mass of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Previous studies of NGC 1332 with ground- and space-based telescopes gave wildly different estimates for the mass of this black hole, ranging from 500 million to 1.5 billion times the mass of the Sun. The study, published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters on Thursday, confirms that the lower estimates are more accurate. It is the first demonstration that ALMA’s 66 antennas can be used to map out the rotation of gas disks in galactic centers at a higher resolution than other ground- and space-based telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope. The astronomers believe their technique can be applied to many other galaxies to measure the masses of supermassive black holes with great
precision, and they have submitted a proposal to use ALMA to observe other massive black holes. The immense black hole at the center of the galaxy NGC 1600 appears to be 17 billion times the mass of the sun. This computersimulated view shows a supermassive black hole at a galaxy’s core. “The ubiquity of black holes is one indicator of the profound influence that they have on the formation of the galaxies in which they live,” Andrew J. Baker, associate professor at Rutgers University and one of the coauthors of the study, said. “This has been a very active area of research for the last 20 years, trying to characterize the masses of black holes at the centers of galaxies,” he said, which scientists believe will help them to understand how galaxies form and evolve. “This is a case where new instrumentation has allowed us to make an important new advance in terms of what we can say scientifically,” he added.

Jobs Act
MANILA--Environment Secretary Ramon J.P. Paje has hailed the enactment of a law promoting the creation of “green jobs” or employment activities that contribute substantially to preserving the quality of the environment. “This law will shore up support to our commitment to the Paris Agreement to work with the United Nations and other countries against global warming,” Paje said, referring to Republic Act (RA) 10771, or the Philippine Green Jobs Act of 2016, which President Aquino signed into law on April 29. “It cements our pledge to pursue policies that would make communities climate change adaptive and resilient,” he added. The Paris Agreement is the new global climate accord dealing with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mitigation, adaptation and finance starting in the year 2020. See hails, page A11

And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: Are you honest in little

He says, “Love offering is more than what is asked according to the law.”This means, we need to give to God more than 10 percent if ever that is the dictation of our conscience. You need to give because it will lead you to a curse free life on this earth. God never curses you if you will

The teaching-learning process is the heart and soul of schools. It is crucial because whatever failures leads to inefficiency of teaching , affects the performance of the school. Teachers are unique individual, thus, they have their own style and philosophy in teaching considering individual beliefs and ways of teaching. Teaching style is the way in which teaching tasks are chosen and carried out ( Mohanna, Chambers & Wall, 2008). The effectiveness of teaching-learning process is determined by the teaching style of the teacher to be studentcentered that promotes a
positive attitudes in learning. On the other hand teaching philosophy is a teacher’s belief and attitudes which differ from each other drawn from their own experiences . It is self-reflective statement of teacher’s beliefs about teaching and learning. Teaching-learning nowadays must be enjoyable to the learners. Students prefer to manipulate something than listening. Good teaching is a process of facilitating learning rather than being ordinary transmission of knowledge from the teacher. It requires the student to draw ideas from the given activities because teaching by experience is a lifelong learning experience making it more meaningful

The teachers will serve as a moderator or facilitator in the classroom and directs to achieve the effective learning outcomes from the students. That is more on student’s activity than teacher’s activity As facilitative teachers plays a very important role in the teaching process. The teachers must provide teaching learning situations interactive, meaningful, flexible teaching approaches, give time to collaborate and determining their learning and assessment processes , establish learning out-
comes clear and ready to achieve work readiness and understand learners as co-producers of new knowledge. The facilitative teacher implements appropriate instructional strategies and create a positive learning environment in the classroom (Methodist University,2010). Facilitative teaching requires a good facilitator, the most recommended teaching style emphasizes the student-centered learning and places students to take the initiative for meeting the demands of various learning tasks. It will also employ a variety of learning activities or strategies including technology, to communicate subject matter.

Benjamin Madrigal Jr., commander, 4ID, has called on everyone to respect the results of the election. Atty. Renato Magbutay, Comelec-Caraga regional director, said: “I thank the PNP and AFP for a job well done in ensuring peace during the conduct of National and Local Elections. However, we should not lower our guards. There are still remaining phases of the election, which are more critical and that is the counting and canvassing phase. After ensuring a generally safe and peaceful May 9, 2016 conduct of Elections in Northern Mindanao, the PNP and AFP remain steadfast and vigilant in providing security to support the Comelec in the clean and onest transmission of votes and transportation of the Vote Counting Machines (VCM) back to the respective Provincial Comelec areas.

already had a contingency plan for the problem. “We have given instruction to our personnel on the ground, to our election officers, supervisors and the Board of Election Inspectors that in case the machines will not arrive on time, they can borrow a machine from the other precincts,” he said. “We have a procedure for that, they know the procedure and we have instructed them to follow this. In single precincts, they will have to go to the canvassing, bring with them the ballots and other paraphernalia and wait for the replacement machines to arrive. “We only got 25 because this is not just an isolated case in Caraga Region. The breakdown of machines is happening all over the Philippines,” he explained. Chief Supt. Rolando Felix, police regional director, and Maj. General Benjamin Madrigal Jr., commander of the 4th Infantry Division declared the election in the region was generally peaceful.
Earlier reports said 72 VCMs malfunctioned in Surigao del Sur, 13 in Agusan del Sur, six in the island province of Dinagat, and 15 in Agusan del Norte. In Butuan City, two machines were reported to have malfunctioned but were replaced in the afternoon. In most cases the breakdown of VCMs was caused by paper jam. (Erwin Mascarinas/MindaNews)

winner of this elections,” he said at a jampacked Liberal Party headquarters in Quezon City. “Digong, I wish you success. Ang iyong tagumpay ay tagumpay ng ating bansa,” Roxas said. In the meantime, an emotional but serene Roxas expressed his profound gratitude to all the people who had supported him and his running mate, Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo. “I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our countrymen who have supported me and Leni in all our sorties; to those who trusted us and the principles that we stood for; and to all of you who took up the cudgels, na kasama kong tumayo sa laban na ito,” he said. He also thanked President Benigno S. Aquino III and his family, the LP and their allies, the civil society organizations and non-governmental organizations as well as ordinary folks and volunteers who make up the “silent majority.” “Hindi kayo bumitaw, naninidigan kayo, sumama kayo hanggang sa dulo. Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat,” Roxas said. “I read somewhere that it is not the battle or conquest that we remember, but the soldiers who stood beside us who we treasure the most. Sa inyong lahat, maramingmarming salamat! Hindi ko kayo makakalimutan,” he said. “Mga kababayan, isang walang kapantay na karangalan na maging tagapagwagayway ng ating bandila. To have carried our flag; to have fought the good fight; to have kept the faith; to have finished the race,” Roxas said. Poe concedes Senator Grace Poe has conceded the Presidential race to Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte who widened his lead in the Presidential race by nearly 6 million votes as of 12 midnight over administration bet Mar Roxas. In a press conference in Quezon City that started at 12:03 .a.m. on May 10, Poe read a statement in Filipino, conceding the race to the lone Mindanawon candidate. “We have a clear leader in the election and it’s pretty obvious he has a wide margin,” said Poe, who earlier phoned Duterte to congratulate him. “It has always been my
advocacy to respect the will of the people when it comes to elections,” said Poe, adding, “the voice of the people should be supreme.” She vowed to help in the healing process post-election and to work together for the country’s progress. Based on partial unofficial results via the ComelecGMA7 Mirror Server, as of 12:12:35 a.m. on May 10, with 81.18% precincts reporting, Duterte garnered 13,720,721 or 38.6% votes, followed by administration bet Mar Roxas’ 7,758,088 votes (22.8%), Poe’s 7,758,088 (21.8%), Vice President Jejomar Binay’s 4,634,123 (13.%), and Senator Miriam DefensorSantiago’s 1,2984,256 (3.6%). Binay has also issued a two-paragraph statement that he has “repeatedly called for respecting institutions and the democratic process. Once the process is completed, we should always respect the outcome.” “We should all move towards healing and unity for our divided land,” he said. There is no word as yet from Roxas and Santiago. Duterte lost no time reaching out to his rivals as soon as the polls closed on Monday. After casting his vote, Duterte, in a press conference at the Royal Mandaya Hotel Davao, said he would like to reach out to his opponents so the “healing process” could start. “Let’s begin to forget about the travails of the elections,” he said. “When I offer (peace), that’s without exemption but if they don’t accept my goodwill, fine. I always believe in the deep abiding faith in God.” With a report from MindaNews
overwhelming trust given to him in 2010. If Duterte and his advisers will again not know what to do, they will likewise miserably fail to do justice to the landslide victory that the Filipino people gave him, notwithstanding the fact that he is the least capable candidate in 2016. So, what should Duterte and his government aspire to do, aside from eliminating, through means fair our foul, the corrupt and the criminals in our midst? Pardon me for giving this unsolicited advice but, just like what I said when Noynoy came to power, Duterte must find a way to encourage Filipinos to be more truthful in their faith in God, no matter what they conceive God to be. I believe Duterte has a greater chance of doing this, since diverse religious groups were behind his victory. He should return to the religious leaders whose support he enlisted not only to thank them, but more to learn how they inspire their members into a stronger spirituality, and thereafter utilize what he has learned to bring more Filipinos to a more tangible relationship with God.

he maybe. It lies with, and should really come more spontaneously from, the people themselves. There must be a corresponding change in mindsets, attitudes, and behavior, of our people, if real and truly beneficial change is to come upon all of us. Change cannot be won by just one man alone, no matter how strong-willed or determined he or she maybe, like the strong will or determination displayed by Duterte during the campaign. And this is where the problem lies really. I think that much too many of our countrymen have placed too great a reliance or dependence on Duterte and on his promise of killing criminals and corrupt government officials, in the same manner that we reposed the same trust, six years ago in 2010, on Noynoy Aquino, thinking that he will be able to solve the ills of our country by himself alone in six years’ time. -oooDUTERTE CAN TRANSFORM RP, BUT ONLY WITH GOD: Noynoy miserably failed to live up to the

It was negotiated and adopted by representatives of over 190 countries at the 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris in December 2015. The agreement was opened for signature on April 22, Earth Day, and has so far been signed by 177 countries, including the Philippines. President Aquino had designated Paje to sign the Paris deal for and on behalf of the Philippines at the UN Headquarters in New York City. RA 10771 defines “green jobs” as employment that contributes to preserving or restoring the quality of the environment, be it in the agriculture industry or services sector. It includes those that help protect the ecosystems and biodiversity, reduce energy, material and water consumption through high efficiency strategies, decarbonize the economy, and minimize or avoid generation of all forms of waste and pollution.

DTI-EMB urges FMCG exporters to do business with the US The Department of Trade and Industry’s Export Marketing Bureau (DTI-EMB) recently held a series of seminars on Doing Business with the United States (US) for Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) in Manila, Cebu City, and Davao City as part of its Doing Business in Free Trade Areas (DBFTA) program. Participants including exporters, would-be exporters, businessmen, government agencies, local government units, students and faculty members, and media men, discussed the US market, benefits of the US Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program, and the mainstream US market. Currently, Philippines is among the 122 beneficiary countries and territories of the US GSP program. The program eliminates duties on about 5,000 types of products when exported to the US. It will allow more local exporters including the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to expand their exports products to the US. Rose Marie Castillo, Division Chief of EMB-Food and Agri-Marine Division (FAMD), emphasized the competitiveness of Filipino products especially in the areas of electronics, fresh and processed food, designdriven products, garments, personal care products, and information technology (IT)-enabled services. “To keep up with the demands of the US market, one must know the trends that affect consumer choices. At present, Americans are
very cautious of their health. They tend to opt for healthier and organic snacks which are convenient and readily available,” she said. Nicholas Johnson, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Asia Etc., a marketing company specializing in sourcing producers and manufacturers of food products in Asia and introducing them in the US marketplace, discussed the various market opportunities in the US for FMCGs. Stressing on the importance of knowing the US market, he advised exporters to invest in improving product packaging, consider online selling or retailing like Amazon or Kroger, ensure product standards and safety. “Nobody starts out big. You just have to work hard and concentrate on it and perhaps spend some amount of money and it will be all worth it,” he said. Existing and prospective participants had a one-on-one consultation with Johnson right after the info session where they were given specific pieces of advice on exporting to the US.

Paje said RA 10771 is expected to “propel the delivery of the country’s Nationally Determined Contribution to reduce by 70 percent our GHG by 2030 compared to 2000 which will come from the waste management sector.” “In the long-term, this will greatly benefit countries like the Philippines which are most vulnerable to climate change,” he added.

VXI quickly responded to Tebow CURE’s call to participate and be one of the major sponsors of the said event.

Headed by Ms. Debbie Santos, VXI’s VP for PH Talent Acquisition and Corporate Branding, and Mr. Anant Singh, VP for Operations, the participants gathered in the venue as early as 4:00 am to participate in the 1k and 5k runs, with routes situated within Davao City. “This is a simple company initiative that desires to help raise awareness about the pediatric orthopedic children from Tebow CURE, Davao,” said Mr. Anant Singh. “The activity inspires every-
one, not only the VXI employees but also its community to take their love for running to a higher and more meaningful level. This is an opportunity for us to take a break from work and have fun while helping others.” he added. Because of the support given by VXI community in this project, they were able to raise Php 106, 930.00 that can help fund the medical care for children with treatable conditions like clubfoot and spinal deformities. Tebow CURE’s Development and Sustainability Officer, Vincent J. Bitana, expressed his utmost gratitude for the company’s participation in their fund raising event, which is also in line for their first anniversary. “On behalf of CURE Philippines, Inc. (Tebow CURE Hospital), I would like to thank VXI’s active participation in helping us raise awareness and revenues to help fund our charity work. We were able to raise Php 440,000.00 less all the expenses incurred. The amount that your company gave [will be] used to provide life changing surgeries for physically disabled children.”
