Andanar: No room for corruption in COVID-19 vaccine purchase OZAMIZ CITY - Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar assured that the government maintains its policy of being brand-neutral and there will be no room for corruption in it’s step to purchase COVID-19 vaccines, during a pocket engagement leading to the Pagdu-aw sa Ozamiz: Presidential Communications Operations Office Explain, Explain, Explain

on Tuesday, February 16, 2021. In an interview on Asenso Ozamiz News Channel, he said that the government will only distribute safe and effective vaccines which underwent rigorous processes by the vaccine panel of experts and were granted emergency use authorization by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). “It is the policy of the

government to be brandneutral. We are not favoring a specific brand of the vaccine nor a pharmaceutical company. The President himself already guaranteed that he will not allow any form of corruption in our vaccination program,” he said. Secretary Andanar discussed that while some remain hesitant about the program because of the

Dengvaxia controversy, the people need to have a constant reminder that the government is taking careful steps for the COVID-19 vaccine. “The vaccines that we are negotiating to purchase are safe. But we cannot blame the Filipino people for their hesitancy on this because of what we had experienced with the Dengvaxia,” he

NorMin raisers send 580 hogs for Manila markets By NEF LUCZON

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – With the help of the Department of Agriculture in Region 10 (DA-10), local suppliers managed to send at least 580 live hogs to fill in supplies in Metro Manila markets on Monday.

DA-10 Executive Director Carlene C. Collado said Tuesday the shipment was part of the agency’s initiatives to provide transportation assistance to local hog raisers to stabilize local retail prices of pork in Metro Manila.

President Rodrigo Duterte earlier issued an executive order mandating a price ceiling on select pork and chicken products in the National Capital Region. “This is the first shipment of hogs for Metro Manila after the government

set the price ceiling. DA will provide PHP21 per kilo as transport assistance, and we are hoping that this will continue after the 60-day period,” Collado said. He said the transported hogs, sourced from the comSee SEND, page 11

CdeO meat retail vendors clamor price cap adjustments for pork CAGAYAN de Oro City, February 15 - Following the release of a price ceiling for pork and livestock products effective Thursday, February 11, retail vendor representatives from major public markets here, met earlier afternoon with the officials and staff from DARegional Field Office 10 and concerned attached agencies, for a harmonization in its implementation. Primarily, the group sought to lower the set price ceiling for liveweight hogs, which is currently pegged at P165.00 per kilo. According to them, this will enable market retailers to comply with the imposed price cap for pork products

(prime cuts at P265.00, other parts at P165.00 and entrails at P50.00), and to gain enough profit margin. As said actions entail the collective decision of the Local Price Coordinating Council, the body recom-

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Feb. 16 (PIA)--Communications Secretary Martin Andanar and Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Director General Ramon Cualoping III engaged with Misamis Occidental media, February 16 to clarify and explain the government’s COVID19 vaccination rollout plan. “It is always good to engage with the media,” said Secretary Andanar emphasizing that there is a need to

increase the confidence and acceptability of the people towards the vaccine. He said media has a big scope of influence that is why their support for the COVID 19 vaccination is important. In fact, the secretary had been all over the country since the start of pandemic to make sure that there is no misinformation or disinformation about programs and policies of government regarding COVID 19 re-

Ayala helps boost QC COVID-19 testing capacity MANILA, February 16, 2021-- The testing capacity of the country’s biggest city gets a boost as Ayala Group of Companies donates testing kits and other medical supplies via Ayala Foundation. In a virtual turnover ceremony today, Mayor Joy Belmonte received P4.5-M worth of supplies that would further expand the city’s mass testing efforts. Partners in this effort are Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship Foundation, Inc., who led the Pooled PCR Testing Program with QC LGU; and Assurance Controls Technologies Co., Inc., who assured the efficient supply of needed test materials and consumables to the accredited laboratories for the Pooled PCR testing. “We appreciate the support that we have been receiving from many stakeholders, including the private sector who have been truly supportive and helpful throughout this ordeal,” Belmonte said. “The Ayala group is not just among the top corporate icons in the country but is also one of the leading private organizations leading the COVID-19 response in our country. And Quezon City is blessed to have received your generosity and kindness.” Last September 2020, the Ayala group, through Ayala Foundation, Inc., also donated a Bio Rad

PCR machine to capacitate QC’s first molecular laboratory, which passed the Department of Health’s proficiency test last October 13. The Quezon City Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory obtained a perfect score after it obtained accurate results from five samples, as verified by the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine. “About 4 months ago, on September 18, we met with you, Mayor Joy, and your team to turn over our donation of a Bio Rad PCR machine for the newly constructed Quezon City BioMolecular Laboratory. At that time, our country badly needed to increase its testing, treatment, and tracing capacity,” said Ayala Corporation President and COO Fernando Zobel de Ayala. “So we built facilities and procured equipment. And, while we have made significant progress since then, the need remains for continuous testing, treating, and tracing; the need remains for replenishment test kits and medical supplies.” According to the City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit, QC reported 29,558 total COVID-19 cases as of January 21; 27,620 of these patients have already recovered. Such high recovery rate can be attributed to the city’s testing, tracing, and treatment efforts. The Ayala group has been ac-

“We have not seen a problem of such proportions as COVID-19. Hence, our response needs to be equally massive. We can do this by working together – the private sector and the public sector – leveraging our unique resources and combining our strengths. We can collectively scale our response and multiply our results,” said Ayala Corporation President and COO, Fernando Zobel de Ayala in a virtual turnover ceremony where P4.5-M worth of testing kits and other medical supplies from the Ayala group were formally handed over to the local government of Quezon City. City Mayor Joy Belmonte was on hand to receive the donation that will help augment the city’s mass testing efforts.

tively helping boost the COVID-19 testing capacities of different LGUs. In partnership with the City of Manila, Ayala constructed a new molecular laboratory inside Sta. Ana Hospital, enabling the city to offer free serology testing to barangays and frontline workers.

Ayala also donated automated RNA Extraction machine and 2 RT-PCR machines to Davao City’s Southern Philippines Medical Center, thereby increasing the city’s daily testing capacity by 1,000 tests. “We have not seen a problem of such proportions as COVID-19.

Hence, our response needs to be equally massive. We can do this by working together – the private sector and the public sector – leveraging our unique resources and combining our strengths. We can collectively scale our response and multiply our results,” Zobel added.

NOBEL Laureate Milton Friedman was fond of saying, “There is no such thing as free lunch.” Indeed, the recent rant of the President for the Americans to ‘pay’ for their presence here simply falls on this logic—-no such thing as free lunch, at least during his time as commander in chief. A just compensation is what this country needs, not a pittance, nor an outdated war materiel. But Sen. Panfilo Lacson, who chairs the Senate Committee on National Defense and Security had openly misread this with a plain and simple language of the street. He says such demand was done in bad taste, sending an impression we are a ‘nation of extortionists.’ That was the reading of Lacson, alone in the wilderness playing a lone

American ranger like no other. Simply put, Lacson was just showing his frustrations too early for 2021. His badmouthing was the language of a spoiled American brat gone wild. And Malacanang, as usual, was quick in the draw. ‘That was not extortion. That was simply upholding the national interest of this country.’ The Americans must ‘pay’ if it wanted to keep the Visiting Forces Agreement that is central to Washington’s Asia strategy. And Malacanang is hell bent on this: ‘The VFA must not come as a free lunch.’ This country has been too accommodating in the past, playing host to America, the so called big brother. And because we have been tagged as little brown brothers for so long a time

Ruffy Magbanua

by our ‘big brother’ Americans, we only received $3.9 billion in assistance while Pakistan got $16.4 billion. A pittance compensation indeed. And Malacanang had this worry: Any miscalculations in the South China Sea would mean a national disaster because we are situated right smack at the center of conflict. The time has come for America to discern its role in the Asia-Pacific region. Lacson’s statement of a ‘nation of extortionists’ may very well translated into his own kind of appetite: ‘Are we a nation of free lunch?’ (ruffy44_ph2000@ yahoo.com)

Hints and Traces

When we commit mistakes

WE all commit mistakes. That’s an undeniable fact of life. They can vary from small to big, minor to major, something just mechanical or typographical to something mortally spiritual and immoral. They can simply be accidental or maliciously intentional. This is not to mention that are there those we know and those we are not aware of. We have to learn how to deal with them, since whether we like it or not, they are an unavoidable part of our life. While it’s true that our initial and spontaneous reaction to our mistakes is that of disappointment, frustration,

sadness and the like, we have to see to it that we get past that stage as soon as possible. There’s no use staying long there, rotting away in guilt feelings, since it would not be good for us. It would not be healthy for us. Let’s be quick to look at the positive side of all this negative aspect of our life. We know that God allows us to commit mistakes because of the misuse of our freedom, our weaknesses and limitations, and, of course, the many temptations we have around. But let’s remember that God is always in control and knows how to derive good

Roy Cimagala

from evil. So let’s not worry more than we should. On our part, we should just strengthen our faith and trust in God, reinforcing our conviction that God is always a father to us. He knows us very well, including our weaknesses, and he understands why we commit mistakes and, thus, gives due allowance for them. Though he may be angry for a while, it is undeniable that he is eager to forgive See MISTAKES, page 11

FROM THE MAIL

Monumental destroyer of Filipino youth rights, welfare FOR the last 52 years, communist terrorism being perpetrated by the Communist Party of the Philippines – New People’s Army – National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF) had not only caused death and wanton destruction against the Filipino people, but it has also delivered monumental destruction on the rights and welfare of the Filipino youth and children. The unabated and deliberate recruitment of minors, including children both into the open and underground organizations that the CPP-NPA-NDF has persistently done over the past five decades, has undeniably resulted in the systematic destruction of

young children and youth alike, especially with several thousands of Filipino children being, directly and indirectly, put in the line of fire as child soldiers in the protracted terrorism - a type of war that the CPP-NPANDF continues to conduct all over the country. With more than 80 percent of its political cadres, organizers, and functionaries coming from the youth and students sector, the CPP-NPA-NDF deliberately and programmatically targets the youth and children to also become their lifeblood source into the infusion of ‘young blood’ in their terrorist organizational cells, that both exist in the urban centers and rural

areas. We, as former rebels, former cadres, and organizers of the CPP-NPANDF, who have bonded together in our collective decision to help and support the peace, security, and development initiatives of the government, we attest to such evil scheme of radicalization, infiltration, and recruitment of Filipino youth, minors, and children which the CPP-NPA-NDF scandalously executes and they continue to be more purposive and deliberate in their most recent activities where they cunningly recruit minors and children, by way of their open/aboveground organizations, but See YOUTH, page 11

PEZA wants to convert M’danao’s idle public lands into ecozones BIR on path to full digitalization despite pandemic

By KRIS CRISMUNDO

MANILA – The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) aims to have more special economic zones in Mindanao by converting idle public lands in the southern part of the country. In a statement Tuesday, PEZA director general Charito Plaza urged leaders of national government agencies and local government units in Mindanao as well as those in Congress to file a resolution requesting President Rodrigo Duterte to declare idle public lands in Mindanao as areas for ecozone development. Plaza said this will be in line with the President’s Administrative Order (AO) No. 18 seeking to promote rural development and create economic activities outside Metro Manila. “The Mindanaoan leaders will be passing a resolution to the President so we could have the opportunity

to trigger economic growth, creation of jobs, (and) develop the countryside. Let’s proclaim public lands in every region to become public economic zones so we can contribute to the total development, in peace and prosperity of the country,”

she said in a forum with officials in Mindanao last Feb.10 in Davao City. Plaza said the creation of more ecozones in Mindanao is the “best and fastest economic masterplan” to spur economic growth in the countryside.

“Ecozones will be drivers for economic recovery and growth in every region, which will help create jobs for the locals, complete the supply needs in the area, and make enterprises participate in the global

acquisition cost to purchase a brand-new, second-hand or refurbished commercial fishing boat and related equipment for their business. “LANDBANK remains steadfast in supporting the fisheries sector. We are looking to cover the requirements for fishing vessels to assist more fishers in boosting their production and profit, and contribute to ensuring food security in

the country,” LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo said. Eligible Program borrowers include commercial fishing operators from small and medium enterprises, cooperatives, and large enterprises. LANDBANK will provide readily available and affordable credit at an interest rate of 5% per annum for three years, subject to re-pricing thereafter, pay-

able up to 10 years. Commercial fishing vessels refer to fishing boats, ships or watercrafts with gross tonnage (GT) of 3.1 and up. Object of financing must be in accordance with Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) standards as supported by a MARINA Certificate of Ship Registry. In addition, the boat to be financed should be in seaworthy condition,

THE Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)’s digital transformation program will be “fully functional and irreversible” to ensure the agency’s much improved services and highly efficient collection performance, which are both critical to the country’s sustainable recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and President Duterte’s overriding goal of building the best possible future for Filipinos, Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III said Tuesday. As a primary thrust of the Duterte administration, the BIR’s digitalization initiative will not merely involve the implementation of a stateof-the-art data management system, but will also strive to apply the “cutting edge in the application of new technologies to achieve the best revenue performance,” Secretary Dominguez said. He said the grant agreement extended Tuesday by the United States to the Philippine government for the BIR’s Information Communication Technology Modernization Strategy and Data Center will provide much-needed financing assistance for pushing forward the revenue agency’s digital transformation. “I thank the people and the government of the United States, represented here today by Chargé d’ Affaires John Law, for supporting our efforts to harmonize the Bureau’s information and communication technology infrastructure,” Dominguez said in this morning’s signing ceremonies for the grant agreement that was held at the Department of Finance (DOF) Office in Manila. The agreement for the US$809,450 grant (equivalent to about P38.85 million) was signed by Secretary Dominguez for the Philippine government, and by Mr. Law of the US Embassy in Manila on behalf of the United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA). “Your support will make the BIR a more effective agency. It will keep the

agency abreast with the rapidly advancing financial technologies. It will dramatically improve the agency’s organizational capacity and collection efficiency,” Secretary Dominguez said. Mr. Law, for his part, said he is “confident that this USTDA grant will lead to, as Secretary Dominguez said, further efficiencies, improved performance, increased security, reduced costs, and greater transparency--all of which are not only vital to the BIR’s tax administration duties, but are extraordinarily important in further strengthening the confidence of the public in its government institutions.” “This partnership for us illustrates our continued close collaboration on economic development and transparency, including, of course Philippine digital infrastructure modernization,” Mr. Law said. “The United States is proud and honored to be one of your partners in this effort.” The US grant aims to assist the BIR in undertaking an in-depth technical assessment of its current ICT environment, developing an Enterprise Architecture roadmap/framework, and assessing the organizational framework of its Information System Group (ISG), including recommended restructuring and training programs. Secretary Dominguez said the Philippines is looking forward to an enhanced cooperation with the US and other countries in the pursuit of the BIR’s comprehensive modernization effort. “I assure you that the administrative reforms that we will be instituting in the Bureau of Internal Revenue, through your (the United States’) help, will be fully functional and irreversible,” Secretary Dominguez said. The modernization of the BIR, along with the Bureau of Customs (BOC), has been the administration’s main goal since President See PATH, page 8

The PCOO and the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) are in Pagadian City to kick off a round of information drive across key cities in the Zamboanga Peninsula this week. They will be visiting Ozamiz City of Region 10, for the Pagduaw: Explain, Explain, Explain. “It is important that we cover such events so that we can disseminate the right information and also increase the confidence level of the people to be vaccinated,” he added. He said that aside from the threats of the pandemic, the battle against infodemic is also evident in communications platforms, particularly on social media, which are being used by detractors. He also met the SK leaders of the city in the afternoon. He assured them that the government is behind them and fully supporting their endeavors to help their respective communities.

I conformed:

(signed) Sagario, Rustie Jane (Co-maker)

(Underscoring and emphasis ours) 14. To stress, a solidary obligation is one in which each of the debtors is liable for the entire obligation, and the creditor is entitled to demand the satisfaction of the whole obligation from any or all of the debtors. Thus, when Rustie and Roxingrace undertake to be “jointly and severally” liable with Grace, it means that his obligation is solidary. By stating “I promise to pay, jointly and severally”, the agreed to be sought out and be demanded payment of the entire obligation. 15. Moreover, the promissory note, wherein Rustie and Roxingrace undertook to be solidarily liable for the principal loan, partake the nature of suretyship and therefore is an additional security for the loan. The surety’s liability to the creditor is said to be direct, primary, and absolute; in other words the surety is directly and equally bound with the principal. The surety therefore becomes liable for the debt or duty of another even if he possesses no direct or personal interest over the obligations nor does he receive any benefit therefrom. IV. DAMAGES LTMPC re-pleads the foregoing allegations and further states: 16.

Since LTMPAC is constrained to pay the necessary cost and incur litigation expenses in the process, these litigation expenses and cost of not less than Twenty Thousand Pesos (Php 200,00.00) must be reimbursed or paid by defendant Grace to LTMPC. PRAYER

from page 6 Duterte took office in 2016 to dramatically improve their services and boost collection performance, Secretary Dominguez said. He said COVID-19 has underscored the importance of rapidly upgrading the country’s digital transactions system, as well as the government’s revenue collection effort, which was well into the process of

digitalization when the pandemic struck early last year. Thus, even before the pandemic, the BIR’s digitization reforms helped it significantly improve the Philippines’ tax effort, with tax revenues as a share of gross domestic product (GDP) rising to 14.5 percent in 2019 from 13 percent in 2015. This was the country’s best performance in more than two decades, Secretary Dominguez said. He said the introduction by

Computer hardware includes the physical parts of a computer, such as the case, central processing unit (CPU), monitor, mouse, keyboard, computer data storage, graphics card, sound card, speakers and motherboard. By contrast, software is the set of instructions that can be stored and run by hardware. Hardware is sotermed because it is “hard” or rigid with respect to changes, whereas software is “soft” because it is easy to change. Hardware is typically directed by the software to execute any command or instruction. A combination of hardware and software forms a usable computing system, although other systems exist with only hardware. The template for all modern computers is the

Von Neumann architecture, detailed in a 1945 paper by Hungarian mathematician John von Neumann. This describes a design architecture for an electronic digital computer with subdivisions of a processing unit consisting of an arithmetic logic unit and processor registers, a control unit containing an instruction register and program counter, a memory to store both data and instructions, external mass storage, and input and output mechanisms. The meaning of the term has evolved to mean a stored-program computer in which an instruction fetch and a data operation cannot occur at the same time because they share a common bus. This is referred to as the Von Neumann bottleneck and often limits the performance of the system.

the BIR under Commissioner Caesar Dulay of additional electronic channels has made the filing and payment of taxes more accessible and convenient for taxpayers. As a result, total revenues collected through digital channels reached P1.83 trillion in 2019, representing 84 percent of the total collections of the BIR for that year. The amount collected from digital payment systems in 2019 was 54 percent more than the sum collected through the same channels in 2015. Electronic tax filers were 58 percent of the total filers in 2019 versus 25 percent in 2015. Secretary Dominguez said that with this robust tax effort,

the government was able to sustainably fund the President’s flagship program “Build, Build, Build,” provide more and better social services to our people, and face the pandemic with strength on the fiscal front. “President Duterte has said that taxes are the lifeblood of government programs and public services. In this critical time, we need to boost and keep our lifeblood flowing. Now more than ever, we need more revenues to fund not only our COVID-19 response, but also our economic recovery program,” Secretary Dominguez said. “A highly efficient revenue collection system, therefore, is critical to help us recover

Why education matters to the health of a person By LIGAYA G. VENTE, Teacher III Maningcol Central School Division of Ozamiz City

EDUCATION can create opportunities for better health. Poor health can put education at risk. Conditions throughout people’s lives can affect both education and health. People with more education live longer, healthier lives than those with fewer years of schooling. But why does education matter so much to health? In today’s knowledge economy, an applicant with more education is more likely to be employed and land a job that provides health-promoting benefits such as health insurance, paid leave and retirement. Conversely, people with less education are more likely to work high-risk occupa-

tions with few benefits. Being educated now means getting better employment, teaching our kids to be successful and just making a difference in everyday life. Income has a major effect on health and workers with more education tend to earn more money. In 2012, the median wage for college graduates was more than twice that of high school dropouts and more than one and a half times higher than that of high school graduates. Adults with more education tend to experience less economic hardship, attain greater job prestige and social rank and enjoy greater access to resources that contribute to better health.

strongly from this pandemic and build back the best possible future for our people,” he added. While revenue collections last year were understandably lower because of the pandemicinduced economic slowdown, the BIR still managed to surpass its adjusted collection target by taking advantage of the digital reforms it has been implementing to be able to collect taxes through electronic means, Secretary Dominguez said. In 2020, 85 percent or P1.66 trillion of the total collections of the BIR was coursed through electronic channels, which was 44 percent higher than in 2015. Also, almost 100 percent of the tax returns filed was done online last year.

Issues facing online education

By MARITONI THERESA C. GACASAN, Teacher II Maningcol Central School Division of Ozamiz City

THE Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the education sector globally. Classes have been suspended to enforce social distancing and educational institutions, from schools to universities, have shifted to online methods of teaching and evaluation. As the number of cases continues to rise, there is no certainty about when normalcy will be restored. This has encouraged some sort of a permanent tilt, if not a complete shift, to online education. A wholesale shift to online education is not just dependent on access to devices and the internet. It is also about nuances. For instance, shifting to online methods

can be far more difficult in humanities than engineering, or in government institutions than in private ones. It is hard to get excited about any educational technologies during COVID-19. Mostly, we all are looking forward to getting back to campus. If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it has shown us the limitations of technology-mediated learning. There is simply no substitute for educators and learners (professors and students) sharing the same physical space for much of what we do in higher education. I think that we will learn a great deal from this experience.

When people need help or assistance we’re always there. On the building site, helping friends or loved ones, or our dealers within their local communities. Where There Isn’t a Path, Carve One — We are the truck that redefined the category. We don’t wait for others to lead. We have a vision and objective and we’re fearless in what we need to do to achieve our goals. Bring Others Along the Journey — It’s great to work hard and achieve

recognition, but even better to share it with those who mean the most - our family and friends. We Make Our Own Fun — There’s no such thing as all work and no play. And when it’s time to play, we know how to make the most of those opportunities. Our truck is awesome and fun to drive. “Live the Ranger Life will allow us to connect with our customers in a deeper and more emotional way by showcasing how the Ranger enables their passions and goals. Understanding our customers allows us to deliver the right vehicles that truly meet their needs today and in the future. Beyond their functionality and versatility, pickup trucks have become symbols of success for our customers, and the new Ranger’s refreshed look and design will allow them to fully express their identity and individuality,” added Umashankar.

Mistakes...

from page 4 us and to give us the appropriate graces to repair and heal what is defective and sick in us. In this, we should have no doubt. We should be quick to pick up the pieces, begin again and move on. Let’s always keep in mind those reassuring words of St. Paul: “Where sin abounded, grace did more abound.” (Rom 5,20) And, “In all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Rom 8,28) Indeed our mistakes can occasion many good things in us. They can show us where we are weak at and thus direct our attention to these areas where we should give the appropriate action. If we are humble enough, these mistakes can also lead us to get closer to God, since they would make us feel more vividly our great need for him. Yes, our mistakes can nourish our humility, reversing that notorious tendency of ours to be proud and conceited. Indeed, our mistakes can serve as a strong stimulus for our sanctification. The important thing to remember is that we consider our mistakes from the point of view of our faith, and never just from our own ideas. This latter way can only lead us to despair and other worse possibilities. It would be helpful to realize deeply and always that before God we are always like little children irrespective of the high status we may be enjoying at present. Especially when we commit mistakes, we should feel the need to go to him rather than run away from him, which can only make things worse. Yes, our mistakes can be and should be a blessing in disguise for us! Email: roycimagala@gmail. com

Youth...

from page 4 with an inherent discreet component of underground recruitment towards terroristlike cells known as UNDERGROUND MASS ORGANIZATION where they radicalize and recruit these minors and children to join, support and participate in the armed terroristic activities with the aim of violently overthrowing the democratically established government. These circumstances have been exposed to the public most recently, where hundreds of minors and even children were victimized by CPP-NPANDF operatives in the schools in various urban areas, as well as in many rural communities where they exist. With clear attestation and declaration herein stipulated, we, therefore, express our Collective Solidarity with the entire Filipino people, and the rest of the world, that in no other or any circumstance can the recruitment of child soldiers, minors, children, into any organization that promotes armed terrorism, violence, and criminal acts, can such activity and situation be justified. The Universal Protection of the Rights of Children, The International Humanitarian Law, and many International Covenants and Conventions categorically prohibit and condemn the recruitment, utilization, mobilization of children as component forces to any armed conflict situation,

and such prohibition embodies both the accountability of state and non-state actors, alike-- and for that, the CPPNPA-NDF is not exempted from this accountability and responsibility. We, therefore, call on the entire Philippine Government to not only observe the strong implementation of all International Covenants and Conventions where the prohibition and condemnation of recruitment of child soldiers / children are being categorically expressed; but we likewise call on the Government Authorities to be decisive in implementing such conventions in our country, especially against the CPP-NPA-NDF and their minions, collaborators, and conspirators who continue to destroy the lives of our Filipino youth, and our children. The full force of the law and the whole scale power of the state and the people must be brought to the fore, against the communist terrorists so that their monumental destruction of the rights and welfare of the Filipino youth, and children must be put to a stop. This is our collective call, together with the Filipino people. MABUHAY ANG SAMBAYANANG PILIPINO! (This is the official statement of Sentrong Alyansa ng mga Mamamayan Para sa Bayan (SAMBAYANAN) on the occasion of International Day of Condemnation Against Recruitment of Child Soldiers in Armed Conflict)

He cited the nationwide information drive of the communications arm of the government as part of the goal to increase willingness of the greater population to get vaccinated. “The function of the PCOO and its attached agencies is to implement the communications strategies assigned to us by the National Task Force against COVID-19 Vaccine Czar Secretary Carlito Galvez,” he said. “We will go around the Philippines to explain, explain, explain to the public the reasons why it is important to get vaccinated and, at the same time, dismiss and correct fake news about the vaccine,” he added.

Under the MOA, PHIVOLCS shall provide technical assistance to the city in the use of GeoRiskPH platforms (GeoRiskPH Integrated System, HazardHunterPH, GeoMapperPH, GeoAnalyticsPH, etc.). It shall also assist in the development of its exposure database by providing the GeoMapperPH platform for the input of information free of charge, the generation of natural hazards and risk assessments, among others. For its part, the city shall in turn cooperate in the formulation of appropriate data fields for the contribution of information into the GeoRiskPH integrated database through the GeoRiskPH platform. It shall also develop a scheme to populate its exposure database using the GeoRiskPH platform for the input of its data, utilize hazards information from the GeoRiskPH System for the conduct of hazards and risk assessment where appropriate, and fund relevant activities in relation to this agreement, among others.

from page 1 going to TTMF,” Nery said Tuesday. In the same period, Nery said the city recorded 3,130 recoveries, representing an 85.9 percent recovery rate. The city has 176 Covid-129 deaths. Vaccination simulation Also on the same day, CHO held the first in a series of Covid-19 vaccination simulations at the city-run JR Borja General Hospital (JRBGH), participated in by representatives of private hospitals and other medical facilities here. Nery said the CHO will again conduct another set of simulations in March, but this time it will be held in barangay communities. She said designating more doctors and nurses and a colorcoding triaging system at the patient assessment site were among the suggestions made by health officials. “The DOH witnessed the vaccination drill and had a checklist of its observations and suggestions and we had a post-evaluation discussion on what improvements were needed for the actual vaccination. Overall, the vaccination drill which is in preparation for the actual vaccination of health care workers in the hospitals proceeded well,” Nery said. The simulated vaccination drill in JRBGH came after two weeks of preparations and is in compliance with the DOH directive to stage vaccination drills in a government hospital. The six-step vaccination process for health care workers consists of registration, pre-screening and counseling, assessment, actual vaccination, post-vaccination observation or monitoring, and a complaint desk. “There will be no walk-in patients because the vaccine recipients will be contacted the day before their scheduled appointment. Everything is calibrated (from the number of recipients a day and the volume of vaccines a day) to avoid wasting of vaccines,” Nery said, referring to walk-in and community-based actual vaccination settings.

Meanwhile, Dr. Elma Oclarit, DOH Region 10’s focal person for the vaccination program in Northern Mindanao, said they are expecting the arrival of Covid-19 vaccines around the third quarter of the year. Oclarit said the first to be administered will be medical front-liners, indigent communities including senior citizens, and uniformed personnel such as the police, military, rescuers, and other pre-identified priority groups. In order to achieve “herd immunity” against Covid-19, he said at least 75 percent of the population must be vaccinated, although based on the nationwide projection, it will take at least three years to achieve the projected figure.

and services. Prepandemic days, AirAsia heavily utilizes NAIA Terminal 4 and Runway 13/31 resulting in its commendable On Time Performance (OTP). In his message during the ceremony, AirAsia CEO Ricky Isla said, “The completion of the upgrade of runway 13/31 is very timely and beneficial in facilitating better air traffic at NAIA as we gear up for the largest humanitarian effort of transporting COVID-19 vaccines. “This will also aid domestic tourism as we increase our services to key summer destinations, expand connectivity across our islands, enhance networks, and provide greater opportunities for Filipinos, as we encourage our guests to RED-yscover the Philippines while promoting safe leisure travels. “Air travelers can be assured that AirAsia will remain committed to offer affordable flights, flexible services, and launch new routes which are all in support of the Department of Tourism as we aim to boost local economies.” Also present during

NAIA’s Runway 13/31 which services most of the domestic flights and short-haul aircraft such as the Airbus A320 was temporarily closed last year to give way to major rehabilitation and extension. The decline in the number of domestic and international flights due to the pandemic allowed the completion of the project ahead of the projected timeline. Other related works included facilities for aircraft safe landing and take-off, as well as the repair and upgrading of deteriorated asphalt pavement connecting to

Terminal 4 Apron and North & South Taxiway. Department of Tourism Secretary Bernadette RomuloPuyat shared Mr. Isla’s sentiments and excitement over the rehabilitated runway. Local tourism industry which was among the hardest hit of the Covid-19 pandemic is seen to recover starting this summer.

Malacanang meanwhile lauded DOTr’s continued support to the country’s recovery from the pandemic. Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea said, “The pandemic allowed us to move forward.
