Customer loans remained flat at P2.3 trillion compared to the same period last year.

ESPECIALLY nowadays we hear this expression more and more often. In a world with more and more natural disasters and never-ending pandemic, it’s no wonder. I am sure, my dear readers, that you experience it in your surroundings too. The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophia, is a peer-reviewed academic resource, where I often find answers to my questions. I quote: “Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence. A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy”. Nihilism is most often associated with Friedrich Nietzsche, who lived from 1844 until 1900. Nietzsche was a German philosopher, essayist, and cultural critic. His writings on truth, morality, language, aesthetics, cultural theory, history, nihilism, power, consciousness, and the meaning of existence have exerted an enormous influence on Western philosophy and intellectual history. Nitzsche argued that its corrosive effects would eventually

destroy all moral, religious, and metaphysical convictions and precipitate the greatest crisis in human history. Interestingly, Nietzsche himself, a radical skeptic preoccupied with language, knowledge, and truth, anticipated many of the themes of postmodernity. It’s helpful to note, then, that he believed we could–at a terrible price–eventually work through nihilism. If we survived the process of destroying all interpretations of the world, we could then perhaps discover the correct course for humankind. When I discover traveling around on social networks, the word boredom is being used more and more - especially by the young generation. “Boredom occurs when our engagement with the framework is suspended, and we notice the change to our experience brought about by our newfound inability to provide different times with different ignificances according to their relevance to a future goal” - so described by German philosopher Martin Heidegger (1889–1976). Guys, we cannot really “make” our lives meaningful by just ignoring the fact that everything sooner or later vanishes into a deep and dark hole of time? I

Klaus Doring

can’t believe it. I’m reslly a huge fan of existing. I love Woody Allen and his comment: “Cloquet hated reality but realized it was still the only place to get a good steak.” I think there’s plenty of fun to be had – at least for those of us not in tragically dire circumstances. Think about yourself. Moreover, siding with thinkers like David Hume, I think there’s great contentment in seeing other people being helped, and great joy in behaving like a decent human being. Generally regarded as one of the most important philosophers to write in English, David Hume (1711–1776) was also well known in his own time as an historian and essayist. I would even call myself an optimist.

Speaking Out

El peregrino, Tomas “Buddy” Gomez III

TOMAS “Buddy” Gomez III, was former consul general in Hawaii and former press secretary during the time of President Cory. Prior to that, he held senior executive positions within the Ayala group. My last encounter with Buddy was during a zoom reunion on July 11, of former Ayala executives. During that meeting, Buddy excitedly informed us about his forthcoming Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. Just a week later, friends and colleagues were shocked and saddened to learn that Buddy died more than halfway through what he described as “spiritual adventure of a life time”. He was 86. Buddy’s son Mitch described the last few days of his dad. “Our dad was truly on a mission, certainly excited about his “spiritual adventure of a life time”. He planned his camino clearheaded, clear-eyed and was truly deliberate about it. No one could have convinced him to do otherwise. In his blog “Cyber Buddy”, our dad always expressed himself (regardless of subject matter) with energy and passion and a little bit of drama. The last few weeks of his blogs

and FB posts were quite different. They were very spiritual and prayerful. “He started his camino in the town of Sarria in Galicia in northwestern Spain on July 18 ( a Sunday). He was physically alone in his last journey but spiritually accompanied by the prayers and well wishes of family, friends and all the peregrinos who preceded him. “In the morning of Friday (July 23), he was found by workers in the room of the hostel where he was staying. A report from the local civil authorities said that died in his sleep in the afternoon of Thursday (July 22). “At the time of his death, he had already covered 75 kilometers of his 115 kilometer journey. And he was less than 40 kilometers away from Santiago de Compostela. On Wednesday evening, a very tiring day by his own admission, he emailed family about his first real sit-down dinner in three days. It would be his last dinner. One of his last messages to family was: “I will certainly try to keep going. I just woke up and I will be on the road again in an hour. Rising with the dawn.” Approximately 12

Ignacio Bunye

hours later, after reaching his hotel in Arzua, he passed away. “His last days were days of introspection, contrition, repentance, atonement. While we were praying for him, he was praying for us. As Father Maury said: His body may not have completed the camino, but his heart certainly did.” Buddy was very first boss when I joined the Ayala group in the mid-70s. He was then head of Ayala’s PR department and concurrently the Executive Director of Filipinas Foundation which is now known as the Ayala Foundation. As the foundation’s executive director, Buddy had a direct hand in the setting up Ayala’s flagship project - the Ayala Museum - and engaging in research projects like the Sumilao cattle research project in Xavier University; the Magalang, Pampanga land reform experiment, scholarships in vocational-technical education and various studies (eg.

During the program, Secretary Andanar interviewed some heads of the local government units to discuss the programs that they expect to be continued by the Duterte administration in its final term, and likewise seek their views on the programs and projects of the national government in their locality.

Editor: ALLAN M. MEDIANTE

Northern Mindanao poised for sustainable growth (Synthesis of the 1st Northern Mindanao Business Conference delivered by OIC-Regional Director Ermedio Abang, Department of Trade and Industry Region X office)

THREE sets of factors including macroeconomic fundamentals; infrastructure; and governance and institutions determine an area’s potentials for sustainable growth. Oro Chamber President Mr. Ruben Vegafria stated that this conference aimed to analyze the current socio-economic setting in Northern Mindanao with its growth centers and business drivers; and to inform potential investors about business and investment opportunities and challenges in the region. The Board of Investments, Phividec Industrial Authority and Philippine Export Zone Authority are among the offices in the region that promote good macroeconomic fundamentals. Growth in Real Gross

Domestic Product is one of the indicators of macroeconomic stability. And as mentioned by Mayor

Oscar Moreno, Northern Mindanao is among the fastest growing regions in the country.

In 2019, the economy grew by 5.9%. Data from NEDA 10 also showed that although the regional econ-

omy of Northern Mindanao contracted by 5.2 percent in 2020 in terms of Gross Regional Domestic Product or GRDP compared to 2019, among the regions, Region 10 ranked as the third slowest in terms of economic downtrend due to positive growth in the Information and Communications Technology as well as in the Financial Services sectors. The Agriculture sector even grew by 5.1% due to favorable weather conditions and increased demand for food. For some years now, Northern Mindanao contributes the second biggest share to the agricultural output of the country. It is the largest producer of pineapple in the Philippines; 2nd largest banana producer; 2nd largest papaya producer; 2nd larg-

est coconut producer; and largest chicken producer in Mindanao and 3rd in the Philippines. These promising scenarios will be further enhanced by the ongoing cooperation between the Philippines and the European Union in areas such as peace and economic development in Mindanao, sustainable energy, and justice reforms as presented by Mr. Maurizio Cellini of the European Delegation. Senator Migz Zubiri presented the following programs and initiatives that he is supporting, such as: anti-poverty summit; development of industries; human resource development; infrastructure development like the Cagayan de Oro River Basin; road network development like See POISED, page 9

Globe secures 1,451 permits in first half of 2021 GLOBE secured 1,451 permits from local government units across the country in the first half of the year.

further ease the permitting process, we have secured more permits now compared to the previous years. These permits will allow us to bring better services to more customers who rely on strong connectivity to address their day to day needs,” said Joel Agustin, Globe SVP for Program Delivery Network Technical Group. Globe secured the most permits in Northern Luzon with a total of 395 while

Visayas and Metro Manila (including Rizal) LGUs released 314 and 312 permits, respectively. Metro Manila, Cebu, Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan and Bulacan were the top five provinces with most permits while 14 others gave out at least 20 permits or more. When it comes to cities or towns, Makati City issued the most permits with 67 while Davao City and Quezon City granted

55 and 53 permits, respectively. 22 other cities and municipalities released at least 10 permits or more. “These permits will allow us to sustain the momentum of installing more cell towers in key locations in the provinces. The new installations will also further decongest our network which in return, will significantly improve the call, SMS and data browsing services we give to our customers,” See SECURES, page 11

Nation 7 Cayetano pushes 10K Ayuda, lifeline for workers and businesses as ECQ declared FOR ADS PLACEMENT CALL OR TEXT: 0917-712-1424 • 0947-893-5776

mindanaodaily.ads@gmail.com

FORMER House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano on Friday urged the government to release P10,000 in cash aid to all families in the National Capital Region (NCR) and other places that have been placed under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ). If the 10k Ayuda Bill cannot be passed in time, Cayetano said the government should continue its TUPAD (Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers) program so that businesses and workers can survive the lockdown. “Some businesses will not survive the ECQ because the people have not saved enough for the new lockdown. Isa-isang mawawalan ng trabaho ang mga tulad ng waiters, chefs, at entertainers na for one year ay walang regular na trabaho,” Cayetano said in a statement. (Workers like waiters, chefs, and entertainers will slowly lose their jobs and they have not had regular work for one year already.) “If they want to keep businesses alive pending the 10K Ayuda, then go for TUPAD,” he added. Run by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), TUPAD is a community-based package of assistance that provides emergency employment for displaced workers, underemployed and seasonal workers, for a minimum period of 10 days. Malacañang announced

on Friday morning that President Rodrigo Duterte had placed the NCR under ECQ from August 6 to 20. This will be preceded by General Community Quarantine (GCQ) subject to heightened restrictions from July 30 August 5, during which restrictions for NCR will be more stringent. Malacañang also announced that Gingoog City, Iloilo City, Iloilo Province, and Cagayan de Oro City will remain under ECQ from August 1 to 7. Although the announcement did not cite the reason for the stricter measures in the NCR, the President had mentioned the Delta variant of COVID-19 during his State of the Nation Address (SONA) last Monday. “Delta, if ever it will spread....

“Ang inaano ko na lang sana, yung titulo lang maitransfer na ba, kasi nakatira ako doon sa bahay, mamaya bigla akong palayasin doon.” MOTIVATION The boxing champ said all this financial help from both the government and the private sector is a great motivation for budding athletes especially those who have less in life and their families live in poverty. He said the training is hard and you can leave your family for many months and even a year, so it is one challenge that must be faced by the national athletes competing in Olympics to bring honor to the country. During his time, he said, was really tough as there were no cellphones yet. So he would always think if his family was okay or not, or they have eaten a good meal in a day without him.

Disbursing officer in general By VIRGINIA A. CALUNIA Disbursing Officer II Ozamiz City National High School

IN any government entity here in the Philippines, a disbursing officer examines all cash items for regularity and ascertain that they are all current and duly approved. They determine why the paid vouchers/payrolls are not posted in the cashbook. If they are duly approved and acknowledged in all respects, consider them as valid cash items. A disbursing officer also verifies contents of pay envelopes. They treat cash in pay envelopes as cash items. They add payments already made in the payroll. They consider the total of cash found inside the pay envelopes and total payments

already made as cash items. And they disallow chits and promissory notes inside the pay envelopes. Disbursing officers disallow checks and money orders paid out of their own cash advance. And they allow checks drawn as cash advances in their favor as cash items. If the fund being examined is a cash advance for petty expenses, consider paid invoices/receipts covering authorized petty expenses for goods and services like telegram, tolls, freight, cartage etc. as valid cash items. They allow sales invoices and/or charge invoices as cash items only when supported with official receipts.

A “Socially Distant” Society By SESYL D. PINATIL,PHD Teacher III City Central School

It was on the month of March in the 2020 era, past a year from now, where everything started to crumble right in front of our ignorant and blind-sided perceptions. A decade where we hoped for serenity and formation, we got something that is antonymous to those words, an experience that would either make us or break us. From a mere rumour, there came a sudden and vigilant foe that neither man nor technology would have ever comprehended. Like a wildfire engulfing the lives of anything it would lay eyes upon, humanity being the main target, helplessly trying to run away from an inescapable certainty, Covid-19 is that wildfire. The world is currently facing one of the most contentious issues in its most recent history, a global pandemic that didn’t only alter simple plans, vacations, and gathering, but also altering the multiple aspects of how people operate as either an individual, a member of the society, and as among those who are classified under the working class. Covid-19 has mass-produced not only its harm but also its varying ideals and principles that are interpreted by the people as to what they think would be most-fitting. The pandemic has reworked and reshaped the society in a way that it has somehow negatively tweaked some facets that make the society a society. These aspects are namely; Education, the economy, and the government. Education has been the heart and soul in order for a country to thrive and flourish, without it, people tend to become blind and turn their backs to what are the naked truths, and only considering a fallacy that is only half-baked, in other words, it is bogus. The masterpiece found in the beauty of life enables the people to give aesthetic to a colourless perspective they once were subjects to. Education, being one aspect of life, can be dubbed as a mere droplet of water in a river, wherein rivers lead to streams, and streams inevitably travel far and wide to arrive in the ocean where waves, colossal waves, are stirred up due to that one droplet of water. Education leads to a better government, thus resulting to a much better economy. We are “Socially Distant”, and it has been very alarming in terms of the sheer quantity of people who tend to reside to such mind-set or way of thinking. Dubbing the current society we revolve in as “socially

distant” would be fitting and would imply other things, them being; Isolation, may it be socially and mentally, another would in terms of being hands-on with the current issues that our country is facing, and lastly being socially distant to what is the most important and irrevocable thing in this world, education and learning. How could we possibly evoke such definitions based on one term? Let us run it back. Since the sudden explosion of the pandemic, people tend to isolate themselves from other instead of trying to socialize with them through the use of social media, adolescents that range within 16-18 years old are very prone to depression and anxiety because of an emotional and social way of isolating. The other implication to being “socially distant” is in being hands-on with that our country is currently facing aside from the pandemic, people with ill-advised ways of thinking turn a blind eye and just simply ignore the things that need correction and would just simply say “the government knows what they are doing” which is a matter of fact, not always precise because as a democratic country, our voices need and should be heeded by the people in the seats of power and authority. And last but never the least is with education, knowledge is power and power is a locomotive embodiment of the things that we learned and experienced, being able to draw out that knowledge with the assistance of education is a big leap for humanity’s future. Trekking the nuances brought by Covid-19 can be marvelled in this current era. We cannot dent the indubitable fact that the tides are crashing, the seasons are changing, and the air is getting warmer each and every second of the day. Current oppressions, conflicts, and misconceptions are all a sinister aftermath of the pandemic. We are socially distant, other than our physical bodies, our minds and hearts seem to not be or choose not to be in sync. It has stripped humanity its liberty and its power to evolve as members and contributors of anything that would lead this world into; a depth of misery or a spark of metamorphosis. If we think that a narration is at all times filled with cupcakes and rainbows, then we are surely missing the point. The beauty of life itself is so vast that it always has a trick up its sleeve, just waiting, lurking to hit us in our most vulnerable moments.

BASAyahan 4Bs: JCS’ Initiative in Reading By JUNELYN N. ADIS, TIII Jasaan Central School

Reading is a continuous process that helps develop pupils’ potential. It should not be stopped even amidst pandemic. This must continue as we adapt to the New Normal. Teaching reading to pupils minus the possibility of face to face interaction this school year is such a great challenge. But the school is doing her best to supplement the need to let pupils continue to read even if they are staying home. This interest the school to design this BASAyahan 4Bs. Jasaan Central School’s BASAyahan 4Bs Brigada Basa Balay-Based is the school’s initiative in reading in this new normal anchored with National Reading Program – the 3Bs Initiative: Bawat Bata Bumabasa; Project CNR – Care for Normin Readers, MORP – Misamis Oriental Reading Program; and in SIR – Schools Initiative in Reading of Jasaan District with the following objectives: 1. to let pupils (quaREADtiners) continue reading, (do home quaREADtine) in this time of new normal wherein our country is facing a pandemic; 2. to improve their word recognition ability, and comprehension level in an enjoy-and-learn-manner; and 3. to engage community stakeholders with this BASAyahan 4Bs since this program is a partnership between the school and the community. BASAyahan 4Bs has these

following activities/strategies on its on going implementation : 1. BASA-Unlad – in this activity instructional and independent readers are instructed to read/do anything related to reading, like basa-kwento, riddles, write essays, Basa-kanta and others; 2. BASA-Turo – for struggling readers. They did virtual reading activities, attended tutorials, and lesson instructions. For those who didn’t have on-line access were given hard copies of reading materials delivered by the BASAhatud Aiders; 3. BASA- Unlad – this targets instructional readers. Pupilparticipants attend on-line classes that include reading activities for comprehension development; and 4. BASALikha – independent readers demonstrated their ability to compose poems, songs, riddles, write essays, summarize and retell stories. But the question is, Is it enough? It is not really enough because of this reason, teachers’ uncertainty if pupils really have selfreading at home. But with the activities mentioned, it is better than good though not enough. With the pupils involvement in this program, the collaborative effort, and the support and assistance of the teachers, parents, and community stakeholders, it is believed that BASAyahan 4Bs has been serving its purpose.

Reshaping education in the future By JOSEPHINE D. TOCALDO, Teacher III East City Central School Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City

HOW can emerging economies reduce poverty when many of their youth enter the job market without the skills they need to succeed? More than 61 million children in developing countries do not receive any education, and over half of them are girls. In some countries, up to half of students who have gone to primary school cannot read a single sentence, and a third cannot do basic math. Traditional education models are not providing these students with access to the high-quality education they need to pursue their ambitions in the workforce. Teachers use computer tablets to deliver scripted lessons prepared by a worldclass team. The tablets track when the teacher uses the tablet, completes the les-

son, and enters assessment scores. The tablets also offer professional guidance for the teachers. The goal is to improve basic education and vocational training, so that schools can supply better-trained workers for key industries such as tourism, health care, and construction. The corona virus pandemic has changed how millions around the globe are educated. New solutions for education could bring much needed innovation. In a matter of weeks, corona virus (COVID-19) has changed how students are educated around the world. Those changes give us a glimpse at how education could change for the better - and the worse - in the long term.

Diving to the Sea By SANDRA P. CASIMIRO Teacher II A. Mabini Elementary School Talomo A. District

To observe from the outside is like looking at a plain sea. In order to know what’s beyond the surface one has to dive in. In a talk with a public high school teacher in Municipality of Trento here in Philippines as she swims every day in the sea of educating students using the alternatives since the traditional face to face set up is not applicable because of the threat of Covid19 virus, one could have a picture of how it is going. Difficulties arise due to the drastic shift from traditional to online distance education. According to Sharmine G. Cabusa a teacher in Pulanglupa National High School located in Trento, Agusan Del Sur, if she is to sum up the whole experience of the teachers for this academic year 2020-2021 she would describe it as an “uphill battle”. Since the academic year 2020-2021 is first school year having the new set up for teaching and learning. “It such a tough year” she said. For her, teaching kids without seeing and knowing them in person is like feeding ghost. Yes, internet and gadgets help a lot but does not guarantee a secured instruction and

feed backing. One of the most challenging is the assessment. As the Department of Education is applying the Printed Modular Distance Learning specifically the Self Learning Modules (SLMs) this is truly a clamor to the learners. “Everything is already given to them, even the answer key. In the long run, in the middle of the quarter, I can sense their losing of interest to perform their modular tasks. They hardly touches their printed modules. This resorted to failure of submitting their modules in the set schedule” she explains. At the end of the grading period, she added that it is also very difficult to where she could get valid basis of the students’ grades. Yes there were students who faithfully submitted their output on time but the problem was the majority of them were not able to comply the required outputs. “At the end of the day, we just decided to promote our students. That’s how DepEd works. That’s how we conform to the policy ‘No Child Left Behind” Sharmine G. Cabusa, a teacher at Pulanglupa National High School.

Affairs in the Philippines.) One of Buddy’s most striking qualities, to me, was his ability to converse on or discuss anything under the sun – be it politics, business, arts, or history. This extraordinary ability no doubt was developed thru his extensive reading habits. I understand that he would finish at least one book every two weeks. While discussing a proposed project of the Ayala Museum involving the photographing of Philippine birds, Buddy gave us an impromptu lecture on Sinibaldo de Mas – the 19th century Spanish diplomat, adventurer and poet, who introduced photography in the Philippines in 1841. I remember Buddy for his unabashed self-confidence which he tried to pass on to those who worked with him. Once he told me, “Toting, dapat malaki ang bilib mo sa sarili. Kasi kung hindi ka bilib sa sarili mo e sino ang bibilib sa iyo?” This is one life lesson which I have learned by heart and have since tried to pass on to others. Buddy’s advice is now a standard topic which I repeat every opportunity I have – be it a leadership forum or a school graduation. Incidentally, another standard fare in my graduation speeches is Buddy’s advice “to read, read and read”. I met Buddy again years later, when Buddy was appointed Press Secretary of President Cory. I was then Mayor of Muntinlupa. In addition to his Press Sec duties, President Cory also appointed Buddy as Cabinet Officer for Regional Development or CORD for Metro Manila. Buddy suggested that we would make a good team with him as CORD for Metro Manila and I as Chair of the Metro Manila Authority. At that time, the Chairman was elected by the Mayors from among themselves. Taking the cue from Buddy, I ran and was elected as Chairman of MMA for three consecutive terms. Thank you Buddy - my boss, my mentor and my friend. I and fellow Ayala colleagues of our generation – including Merle EstebanVillacorta (your ever loyal secretary), Melvyn Martin, Charisse Garcia Chuidian, Malou Camesa Mariano, Katy Dizon Jacinto, Jovy Cinco, Edith Nolledo, Mau Blardony, Toto Cruz, Francis Sebastian, Boyboy Reyes, Bebs Inocencio and Rene Montemayor will definitely miss you.

department. It was learned that the office of MP Shiek thru MSSD gave P10,000 to each of the student beneficiaries, while the Office of MP Latiph

granted P1,000 each of the elementary pupils; P1500 each for high school and P10,000 for college students. Meanwhile, the two BARMM lawmakers also gave financial aid to the marginalized people in the province, including solo parents (P5000 each); and children mostly orphaned by the conflict received P15000 each while each of the PWDs also received P20,000. MP Latiph said there were new changes carried out by the new normal, including an additional burden to students whose parents are barely making ends meet. In an interview with Aleya, one of the beneficiaries, she said: “This (financial assistance) is a big help because my mother is jobless and only stays at home.” Samsaman Gida, another project beneficiary, said the project of the two solons is very laudable especially in this trying time of the pandemic. Gida said she was really having a hard time sending her children to school because of poverty, especially now that the pandemic is also crippling the economy, and everyone has to suffer economically. - PNA

The regional director also lauded DSWD-10 Regional Director Mari-Flor Dollaga-Libang for taking the initiative in submitting a proposal for special financial assistance for the affected individuals of Cagayan de Oro and Gingoog. Any time soon, Agabe said the DILG, DSWD, PNP, and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) will have a memorandum of agreement (MOA) in the provision of the special financial assistance. This is to ensure that the assistance will be properly distributed. He added that the special financial assistance comes from the national government as President Rodrigo Duterte mandated the concerned agencies to provide speedy assistance to the affected residents of Cagayan de Oro and Gingoog. Also, during the Normin COVID-19 Response Task Force press conference, July 30, Agabe said, “Every individual would receive P1,000 but the maximum is P4,000 per family nga (who is) affected sa (in the) declaration sa (of the) Enhanced Community Quarantine.” He added that Gingoog LGU was already able to submit their distribution plan and DILG is still waiting for the distribution plan of Cagayan de Oro City. After more than a year of battling against the adverse effects of COVID-19, Agabe hopes that the LGUs as well as the residents have learned a lot from the experience, and would be able to improve on their COVID-19 response to eventually prevent and contain the spread of the virus.

demned tobacco products, placed inside two 40-foot container vans, were intercepted when the cargo ship carrying them docked at MCT last year. Confiscated were 1,700 master cases or 85,000 reams of cigarettes carrying local and imported brands such as Two Moon, Mighty, Marvel, and Royal. Valiente said the items were consigned to Denian Dry Goods Trading based in Davao region. The apprehension of the contraband, Valiente said, “is still a result of our continuous intelligence sharing with other government agencies and the international intelligence community to ensure our border protection against smuggling.” Lawyer Elvira Cruz, BOC-10 district collector, said the consignee will be facing charges for violating section 1400 (misdeclaration of goods description) of Republic Act 10863 or the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act. Valiente said they have to step up their monitoring as traders who engage in illegal shipment are also innovating. Lawyer Roswald Joseph Pague, head of BOC-10’s Office of the Strategy Management, said the confiscation and destruction of imported goods is a sign that the Customs authorities in Northern Mindanao are working hard to ensure that illegal items that enter local ports are property dealt with. Pague has also warned consignees and brokers not to engage in illegal activities for fear of facing legal charges. Meanwhile, Elizabeth De Las Llagas, BOC-10 deputy district collector for operations, said most of the shipment that entered the local ports under the BOC10’s jurisdiction have been compliant with Customs regulations. “Most of our importers and consignees have been honest with their shipment and have been paying the rightful duties and taxes to the government,” De Las Llagas said.

BSP promotes “co-opettitiion” among banks and fintech fimrs THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) encourages healthy cooperative competition or “co-opetition” among banks and financial technology (fintech) companies that offer breakthrough systems to automate, expand and facilitate access to financial services. “When the advantages of traditional banks, with their market size and operational scale, are coupled with fintechs’ organizational agility and technical knowhow, resulting synergies could substantially improve the delivery of financial services to all Filipinos, especially the underserved,” said Governor Benjamin the shipment was consigned to a certain Denian Dry Goods Trading. The shipment arrived at the Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT Phividec) in Tagolian, Misamis Oriental from China on September 18, 2020. The consignee has declared the shipment as office furniture. But after BOC inspections, it turned out the shipment contain illegal and contraband cigarettes. The destruction of the contraband items was witnessed by Atty Elvira Cruz, District Collector of Collection District X. Aty Cruz was also the Officer-in-Charge of Mindanao Container Port.
