Duterte fumes over red tape, corruption in govt President Rodrigo Roa Duterte delivers his speech after administering the oath to newly-appointed officials from various government agencies during a ceremony at the Malacañan Palace on February 7, 2019. KING RODRIGUEZ/PRESIDENTIAL PHOTO
PRESIDENT Rodrigo Roa Duterte expressed his frustration over the perennial problem of red tape and corruption in the government. During the oath-taking of newly appointed officials in Malacañan Palace, President Duterte revealed that he walked out of the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday when he learned about the problem of bureaucratic red tape at the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA). “I would just like to share an experience with you. Last night, we had this Cabinet meeting. Though no fault of
anybody, I discovered very late that there are some applications which have been pending in NEDA for 25 years,” Duterte said. “Pabalik-balik ‘yung tao, pabalik-balik. And there’s no end to it…the bleeding of the pocket of the guy. Not only the reputation… but government suffers for it also,” he added. Expressing his dismay, the President said the government system of the country is “designed to experience a failed government.” “Well, anyway, kung ganyan ang red tape or black tape…pinutol ko sila.

BOL would give lasting peace to our land - Lanao Sur exec By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent
LANAO del Sur gubernatorial candidate Guiling Mamondiong is confident that the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) will result in a lasting peace in his province. And once peace and order is stabilized in Lanao del Sur, Mamondiong is already envisioning three platforms if he is elected governor, enumerating the following: making Lanao del Sur the summer capital of Mindanao, establishing a science high school for every municipality and creating a special economic zone in the province. Mamondiong is confident that if peace and order is stabilized in Lanao del Sur, many investors will pour in their businesses in the area. To lure businesses, he
is mulling for the creation of a special economic zone there so entrepreneurs could enjoy incentives exclusive within it. Meanwhile, Mamondiong said another challenge facing his constituency is the high unemployment rate there. To counter this, the See GIVE, page 7

Balo-i residents pin hope for peace on BOL plebiscite By LADY JEAN KABAGANI
BALO-I, Lanao del Norte -- “We may not be certain what would happen after this plebiscite, but we wanted our voices to be heard, hoping for a peaceful life after this,” Amor Sumili, one of the 21, 411 registered voters of this town and a “lumad” (native) from Barangay Ma. Christina said. Along with other “lumad” residents, they went out their homes to cast their votes during the plebiscite on the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) despite the explosions that happened in Kauswagan and Lala towns in Lanao del Norte a day before the balloting. “It’s a tough situation, we’re just praying that whatever is the result of today’s plebiscite, everything will end peacefully,” Sumili said. Another resident, Magdalena Celesio, revealed that
her husband had informed her of what the BOL is all about. When asked about the presence of Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) members in the polling places, she said: “They seem to be our neighbors, they don’t up into any trouble. We respect them as they respect us [lumads].” Meanwhile, Noronisa Mipangcat, Balo-i’s election officer said in an interview that there were no serious threats to the BOL plebiscite adding “the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in Balo-i is committed to serve until the end of the canvassing period.” “We assure the public of a free, honest and credible plebiscite,” Mipangcat stressed. A plebiscite on the BOL was held on Feb. 6 in Lanao del Norte to ask its See PIN, page 11

All hands on deck for banana farmers
THE government and the private sector has linked arms to help banana farmers in Oriental Mindoro enhance their farm management skill and raise their level of competitiveness in the global market. Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer Marilou C. Baslan said the farmers will be assisted in improving the quality of their products and meeting volume requirements. These two factors are considered as the first steps in attaining global success. Groups joining the cause are the Department of Science and Technology
(DOST), the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and local agricultural officers, together with the San Miguel Foods Corporation (SMFC) and the Bahaghari Global Food, Inc. (BGFI). “We are happy for the positive response to our call for support in sustaining the initial gains of the Linking Smallholder Farmers to Markets (LinkSFarM) project, which seeks to achieve sustainability, expansion and diversification,” Baslan said during the recent meeting of the site working group. She also said the project takes into account cluster
formation, preparing the cluster supply plan, market chain study for actual collection, and marketing of banana of the saba variety. Each participant shared essential information and assistance to the farmerbeneficiaries of the LinkSFarm project. SMFC representative Ben Brosales presented the cassava assembler program for the farmers for project diversification.

Koronadal City pushes expansion of dragon fruit farms KORONADAL CITY -- The city government is pushing for the development of more dragon fruit plantations, considered as the area’s next major crop. Emelita Miguel, chief of the City Agriculture Office, said Friday they are currently evaluating potential sites in the city that could be used as expansion areas for the high-value crop. She said a number of farmers in the city have already adopted the crop these past years and started growing it through diversified farming. As part of the initiative, the official said they are currently providing free
dragon fruit seedlings to local farmers and other interested residents in coordination with the Department of Agriculture (DA) 12 (Soccsksargen). She said the free seedlings are available at the city government’s demonstration farm in Barangay General Paulino Santos. Aside from the seedlings, she said their personnel are also ready to provide interested beneficiaries with training courses on planting methods and practices, as well other production technologies for the crop. “There are actually a lot of farmers who are not See PUSHES, page 11

By RANDOLPH PARCASIO MindaNews
DAVAO CITY -- The recent bombing in Sulu is definitely perpetrated by a breed of people who are followers of the avowed enemy of humankind-- the accursed Devil. They are those referred to by the Angels in the Qur’an (who spoke to ALLAH) “Wilt thou place therein one who will make mischief and shed blood?” (Sura Baqarah, verse 30) and are condemned by ALLAH as those who are abased to be “lowest of the low” (Sura Tin, verse 5). Believers of different religions certainly have fundamental differences in the concept of ALLAH but are one in their cardinal belief against murder of innocent people. I believe the recent slaughter is not connected
to the plebiscite on the Bangsamoro organic law, absent any evidence to the contrary, especially that allegedly this act of terror is now owned by those who claim to establish an “Islamic State” though without doubt Islam is against terrorism. I believe no responsible Tausog leader from all sides of the political spectrum in Sulu would support the evil that just happened. We pray that there must be surgical precision in the pursuit against the criminals so the rights of the innocents will not be sacrificed.. Once again, for the sake of the welfare of the Tausogs, the Sultanate of Sulu, the Bangsamoro people and humanity as a whole, a clarion call is sounded for unity of all, regardless of religious, cultural and political differences, especially those
who believe in the fundamental Qur’anic message that humankind (who are descendants of ADAM) is vicegerent on Earth, to move forward and forge a united and concerted “all-out” effort to bring to justice those responsible for the dastardly act of bombing the Catholic Church in Jolo. We extend our condolences to the bereaved families of Catholic worshippers, soldiers and other civilians who are suffering in grief for the untimely demise of their loved ones. May those who sustained physical injuries be healed so they may be able to enjoy normal lives again. The Tausogs who are strengthened by the challenges they have faced in the past will certainly be able to bounce back again and again whenever tragedies
befall upon them and their homeland. BI IDZNILLAH! (MindaViews is the opinion section of MindaNews. PeaceTalk is open to anyone who wishes to share his/her thoughts on peace in Mindanao.

the sacrifice of my life. Telling the Story of Jesus in the Archdiocese of Cotabato To give some light to our celebration today, let us reflect briefly on the First Reading of this evening from the Acts of the Apostles. In the narrative, Peter has healed a cripple. Speaking to the people and elders, Peter is filled with the Holy Spirit. He attributes the healing of the cripple to the power of Jesus, crucified and risen from the dead. He proclaims Jesus as the Savior. To proclaim the Good News of Jesus the Savior, to tell his story to the whole world, this was the mission of the Apostles. Such also is the mission of a successor of the Apostles. To do this, the bishop must be filled with the Spirit of God. Only when he is in communion with the Holy Spirit, only when the Spirit dwells in him, will he be a prophet with courage, without fear, in season and out of season. The Bishop has to be Spirit- filled and Spirit-driven. No more, no less. In the midst of social, political, cultural and religious tensions and tempests, his focus must be on Jesus. It is in Jesus that he has total faith. It is in Jesus where his heart must rest. The Second Reading from the First Letter of John tells us what a Bishop must be. “We are God’s children now,” says John. These words recall the words of Jesus himself, “Unless you become like a little child, you cannot enter the Kingdom of heaven.” Hence, the Bishop learns of his identity as a Child: In the conflictive pastoral situation of the Archdiocese of Cotabato, the Shepherd has to be:
• Like a child who places his whole life and his ministry of leadership in the hands of the Father; • Like a child who in the protective arms of the Father is fearless, courageous; • Like a child who will dare all things because he is with the Father; • Like a child who follows the Father in uncharted roads in order to tell the story of the Father’s only begotten Son, Jesus, our Savior. These are the values that a Shepherd in Cotabato must live. Because he lives and works in a context of tension and insecurity, and in daily relationships with Muslims and peoples of other faiths: • The Shepherd has to be filled with the Spirit of God. • He must be imaginative and daring in his ministry. • He has to try uncharted ways of inter-relating with peoples of other faiths. • He has to bring hope to a people who look for light in the cultural darkness of mutual biases and prejudices, • He must lead his flock and those who are not of his flock to peace and harmony. The Gospel this evening sums up our reflections on Archbishop Lito and his ministry as Shepherd. In the Gospel of John, Jesus says: I am the Good Shepherd (who) lays down his life for his sheep… I know mine and mine know me…I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice and there will be one flock, one shepherd. How these words strike at the situation of the
In the conflictive pastoral situation of the Archdiocese of Cotabato, the Shepherd has to be like a child By CARDINAL ORLANDO B. QUEVEDO, OMI MindaNews
(Homily of Cardinal Orlando B. Quevedo, OMI during the Installation of Abp. Angelito R. Lampon, O.M.I. as Archbishop of Cotabato, at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral on 30 January 2019) YOUR Excellency Most Rev. Gabriele Giordano Caccia, Representative of the Holy Father, Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines; Your Excellency, Archbishop Romulo Valles, Archbishop of Davao and President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, Your Excellencies, my Brother Bishops, Rev. Sisters, Brothers and Fathers, Our Beloved Laity, Brothers and Sisters in the Lord: Context of Installation: Our new Shepherd, Archbishop Angelito Rendon Lampon, OMI, has been installed in a situation that is very relevant to his pastoral leadership. He came from the Vicariate of Jolo that covers the provinces of Tawi-Tawi and Sulu. A few days ago, destructive terrorism hit Sunday worshippers in the Jolo Cathedral where he so often celebrated Mass. One can almost feel the pain of a Shepherd in the depths of his heart as scores of his flock were murdered or wounded. Jolo, an Apostolic Vicariate of many islands, weeping for its children, Muslims, Christians and peoples of other faiths – that is the point of departure of our new Archbishop. And now he is among us in the Archdiocese of Cotabato, appointed by the Holy Father to be our Shepherd. His point of arrival is not so different from his point
of departure. Many bombs have exploded in the Archdiocese in the past few years. We are not strangers to terrorism. The situation of fear and insecurity is attested by the tight security during this celebration. Never in my 20 years as Archbishop of Cotabato have I seen two APCs (Armored Personnel Carrier, Simbas) parked outside the Archbishop’s Residence. Never have I seen so many soldiers and police guarding the main street, around the cathedral. Even our Papal Nuncio has to be escorted by six policemen in plainclothes. Here truly and sadly an environment of fear and insecurity is gripping our city. A Shepherd Prepared to be a Sacrifice But Archbishop Lito is not unfamiliar with violence. He succeeded Bp. Ben de Jesus, OMI, as Apostolic Vicar of Jolo twenty one years ago. Bishop Ben was much beloved by Muslims and Christians alike but he was nonetheless martyred outside the Jolo Cathedral.. It is not without reason that Bp Lito chose as his Bishop’s motto, Accipe oblationem meam – Receive my oblation, receive my offering, Lord. The motto really means accipe oblationem vitae meae. Receive, Lord, the sacrifice of my life. As Bishop of Jolo, he and his flock suffered deep anguish at the murder of two OMI missionaries in Jolo, Fr Benjie Inocencio and Fr. Rey Roda, a Cotabateño. To be appointed by the Holy Father as Archbishop of Cotabato has to require, I am convinced, a holy readiness to receive the full meaning of accipe oblationem vitae meae. Accept, O Lord,

Archdiocese! Abp. Lito has one flock. But there are other sheep that do not belong to his fold. We are reminded here of the multi-pluralistic religious diversities of the people of the Archdiocese, Muslims, Lumads, and peoples of other faiths. The Shepherd must somehow bring them to the unity of God’s human family. This is a call to be united and to be in solidarity -- and not to be divisive and confrontational. It is a call to unity in diversity. At the foundation of this unity in diversity are essential values; • Respect for one another • for everyone belongs to God’s human family; • because everyone of us, Muslims, Christians, Lumads and peoples of other faiths, is made unto the image of God • Respect for human dignity, for human life, where so often it is totally disregarded and ignored even for the most insane reason. One looks at another with suspicion and his life is quickly snuffed out with a bullet. • Respect for each other’s religious and political beliefs. It is most unfortunate that those values required for peace and harmony are so often obstructed by our inner passions, by erroneous convictions and opinions regarding others who may not belong to our religious tradition. Such values are often glossed over by a long history of conflict. The vision of the Shepherd in Cotabato, if I may suggest, is the dismantling of hatred, the removal of mutual biases and prejudices, the rebuilding of trust, in a mutual journey to peace and harmony.

“ROLE OF MOTIVATION TO IMPROVE ONE’S ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE” Motivation and performance are key factors in moving forward. In this context, teachers as well as parents know positive motivation leads to better performance and higher productivity. Motivation is very crucial in any form of endeavor because as Stoner (1980:406) stressed that the performance of an employee depends upon his or her motivation, skills and perceptions in his/her assigned function/task. Using monetary and other rewards to improve motivation is a simple idea, but doing it fairly and effectively can be challenging. To the teachers, the role of motivation is important in order to keep the learners hooked, engaged, motivated to learn, excited to go to school every day. To the parents also, it is crucially essential to help the child accomplish the task expected from them in school, at home
and in the future world of work. There are a number of maxims, theories, laws, principles and the like that present the significant role of motivation to boost one’s morale and improve one’s performance. It is the performance of the learner/child that is the true benchmark of the institutional (classroom, school, community or family) performance. As teachers, we are much aware on how to motivate our learners to achieve desired output. As parents, we need to know how to boost our child’s self-esteem in order to perform better in all aspects of their endeavor, in this case in their academic performance as well as their character. I find the concept of Zulueta (2002:71-73) on role of motivation in performance very practical. I would like to share this to you because I am also a parent and a teacher as well.
First, Achievement Motivation wherein a person would like to achieve objectives and advance up the ladder of success. As a teacher and a parent, this is one of the very important indicators that we need to examine first from the learner/child. Second, Affiliation Motivation is a drive to relate to people effectively. It is observed that people with affiliation motives perform better when they are complimented for their favorable attitudes and cooperation. Third, Need-Want-Satisfaction Chain refers to human needs such as the physiological requirements for god, clothing, shelter, water and air. These are considered the basic aspects for human survival. These needs vary in intensity and the motivation which involves chain reaction. Felt needs give rise to wants or goals sought, which cause tensions - if desires are not fulfilled. These eventually rise to action toward achieving goals which ultimately result in satisfaction. Last, Directing Motiva-

Piñol leads turnover of solarpowered irrigation system By LILYBETH ISON and MARILYN GALANG
MANILA -- Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel “Manny” Piñol on Thursday led the ceremonial turnover of a Solar-Powered Irrigation System (SPIS) to the Caridad Norte and Sur Irrigators’ Association in Llanera, Nueva Ecija. “This is the fulfillment of a promise we made last April 2017,” Piñol said during the ceremony. He stressed that the irrigation system aims to improve the productivity of rice farms in the municipality, lower poverty incidence, and regain the public’s trust towards the government. The Llanera SPIS, valued at PHP7.2 million, is powered by 140 solar modules, which generate 30 to 50 horsepower (hp). With the SPIS in place, Piñol said, rice production in around 120 hectares is expected to increase. “With the diesel pump before, we could irrigate 70 hectares of farm, but with this technology, we have expanded production to 50 hectares more,” said DA Region 3 OIC-Regional Director Crispulo G. Bautista Jr. Baustista explained that farmers have started using the SPIS during the last cropping season. This has led to an increased yield of 120 bags per hectare from only 80 bags during before the introduction of the SPIS. The SPIS, which can be operated for a maximum of nine hours a day, has a capacity output of 1,2802000 cubic meter (m3) per day with pump flow rate of more or less 241 m3/hour. To minimize production cost, Piñol recommended the installation of additional solar panels so that more areas will be irrigated. Aside from delivering the SPIS, the DA chief committed to extend loan assistance amounting to PHP5 million to Caridad Norte and Sur farmers. “From this amount, PHP4.2 million will be allotted for the 210 hectares rice area of Caridad Norte while the remaining PHP800,000 can be borrowed by vegetable farmers,” he said. He also committed two units of mini tractors and a unit of combined harvester for See LEADS, page 7

Largest travel expo in PH opens By JOYCE ANN L. ROCAMORA
THE Philippines’ largest travel fair officially opened on Thursday with the country’s key tourism players all gathered at the SMX Convention Center for its ribbon-cutting ceremony. This year, the threeday 26th Travel Tour Expo (TTE) features 400 travel and tourism-related entities, including eight national tourism organizations (NTO) -- Guam Visitors Bureau, Hong Kong Tourism Board, Japan National Tourism Organization, Korea Tourism Organization, Singapore Tourism Board, Taiwan Tourism Bureau, Tokyo Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the Tourism Authority of Thailand. The expo will be open to the public from February 8 to 10. TTE organizing committee chairperson, Marlene Dado Jante, said attendees can expect exclusive tour packages only available at the expo and even food offers “that could rival the best food parks in the country.”
Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA) president, Ritchie Tuaño, said the TTE is the only expo that fills up both floors of the SMX Convention, the largest private venue. “We’re the only travel expo that fills it up, and there are a lot more on the waiting list that we cannot accommodate,” he told reporters in an interview. Tuaño said TTE serves as a one-stop shop for travel needs, such as airfare, accommodation, and packages. “In here, all the airlines, tour operators, and hotels, they really slash their rates to make it more affordable from 50 (percent) to 70 percent, depending on which category,” he said. “At the Travel Tour Expo, even as they push their respective businesses, they also work together to provide the public with the best opportunity to travel to any destination in the world,” Tuaño added. He noted that the event has been a “boost” to Philippine tourism for the past 26 years, particularly domestic

Lotto, Keno operators nationwide reach 11,120 PHILIPPINE Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) General Manager Alexander Balutan announced on Wednesday that Lotto and Keno agents have already reached 11,120 in 2018. “From January to December 2018, our Lotto and Keno agents have already reached 11,120. Of 11,120, 8,769 are Lotto agents and 2,351 are Keno operators,” said Balutan. For Lotto, Balutan said the National Capital Region (NCR) has the most number of agents at 2,251, followed by Visayas at 1,952, Southern Tagalog and Bicol Region (STBR) at 1,747, Mindanao at 1,674, and Northern and Central Luzon (NCL) at 1,145. For Keno, NCR also has the most number of agents at 883, followed by SBTR at 681, NCL at 366, Visayas at 267, and Mindanao at 154. Keno Lotto Express is a fun game played every 10 minutes that allows the player to choose how many numbers to play, how much money to bet. With Keno, the player has a chance to win up to P1,000,000 for only P12 per play. “As you all know, our revenue comes from the hard-earned money of individuals who fall in line daily in lotto and Small Town Lottery (STL) outlets to buy their tickets. So they must be informed where their money goes and how PCSO spent their money,” said Balutan. “ The playing public should know that they might not have won the million jackpot prize, but by their P24 may have saved and stretched the lives of dialysis or chemotherapy patients who are beneficiaries of PCSO under the Individual Medical Assistance Program (IMAP),” he added. Of the almost P64 billion revenue generated by PCSO in 2018, P31,902,529,360 came from Lotto and digit games, P26,103,422,348.39 from STL, P4,397,969,030 from Keno, P1,149,124,000 from Instant Sweepstakes Ticket (PMC), and P4,867,500 from Sweepstakes. “STL is obviously the second highest earning product of PCSO with 88 operational Authorized STL agents (ASAs). It has been
giving jobs and decent lives to Filipino people and their families who cannot even pass the nitty-gritties of job fairs due to age, lack of education, and physical disability. We have saved them from vices, drugs, and from being exploited by criminals,” said Balutan. In a data provided by the Branch Operations Sector headed by Assistant General Manager Remeliza Gabuyo, STL has produced 314,596 jobs as of January 28, 2019. Of 314,596 jobs, 13,720 are organic employees, 26,227 are sales supervisors, and 274,649 are sales agents.

Mayor Sara to hit campaign trail for HNP-backed senatorial bets
DAVAO CITY -- Mayor Sara Duterte will hit the campaign trail for the 11 senatorial candidates supported by Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) in Pampanga on Tuesday, the start of the campaign period for candidates for senators and party-list groups. Mayor Sara confirmed this on Thursday at the sidelines of the City Peace and Order Council (CPOC) meeting here, adding the Pampanga campaign will be led by the Kambilan -- the local political party organized by Governor Lilia Pineda in 2009. HNP has established alliance with Pineda’s Kambilan (Kapanalig at Kambilan ning Memalen Pampanga) in August last year. Mayor Sara, HNP founding chairperson, said the regional party’s 12 senatorial candidates are seen to push the vision of President Rodrigo Duterte for a peaceful and progressive country

DSWD awards P768-T to Lupon livelihood groups
DAVAO CITY -- The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office XI is reminding the public, especially the beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) that no political candidate or incumbent politicians can enroll and include poor families or delist them from the program. Earlier, DSWD received reports that there are some political candidates who threaten beneficiaries of being delisted if they do not vote for them or the candidate they are endorsing. “Only DSWD can include poor families in the program and can delist beneficiaries from it. A household can only be removed from the program if it does not comply with the program conditions or does not have eligible children,” DSWD Regional Director Mercedita P. Jabagat said. Identification of Pantawid beneficiaries was based solely on Listahanan, the Department’s information
management system that identifies who and where the poor are through household assessment. DSWD shall ensure that beneficiaries are protected from undue politicking and must remain free of political influence and manipulation. Beneficiaries can only be delisted if proven that they do not adhere to the conditionalities set by the program which include regular attendance of their children in school, attendance of parent-beneficiaries in the monthly Family Development Session, and regular check-up of mothers and children in health centers, Director Jabagat said. DSWD encourages the general public to be more vigilant and to report politicians claiming credit from the program or such activities that aim to discredit the integrity of Pantawid Pamilya. The public may file their complaints through Grievance Text Hotline 0918-9122813 or via social media See ENROLL, page 9

Davao City to hold investment, tourism mission in Seoul
Ortonio
DAVAO CITY -- The City Government of Davao will conduct an investment and tourism mission in Seoul, South Korea this May. “This is to raise awareness on opportunities in terms of investments in Davao City and also the different tourism activities they can do here in Davao City,” Lemuel Ortonio head of the Davao
City Investment and Promotions Center (DCIPC) said during his guesting at the Habi at Kape Media Forum in Abreeza Ayala Mall. The City Administrator will be heading the Dabawenyo delegation in South Korea and will be joined by City Tourism Operations Officer along with City Councilors from the committee of trade
and Industry and committee on tourism. “We are also inviting private organizations and industry associations to join us,” Ortonio said. He said the mission will be a three-day event and will just be held in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. This is unlike the 2017 roadshow in Japan where they went to
four Japanese cities. Ortonio said they are focusing to highlight the agriculture, tourism and ICT investment opportunities to Koreans during their visit. Davao City has been holding investment and tourism roadshows in Japan, Malaysia and Singapore in the previous years. The DCIPC said the in-
ternational roadshows had good results as they had created certain awareness on the investment and tourism potential of Davao City. “In Japan, we had many inquiries and in Malaysia and Singapore, a week after the roadshow we were able to connect local and foreign businessmen,” Ortonio said.

End-January 2019 GIR level rises to US$82.13 billion
P R E L I M I NA RY d at a showed that the country’s gross international reserves (GIR) rose to US$82.13 billion as of end-January 2019, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Nestor A. Espenilla, Jr. announced today. This level is higher than the US$79.19 billion level recorded in December 2018 due mainly to inflows arising from the
1) net foreign currency deposits by the National Government (NG), 2) BSP’s foreign exchange operations, 3) revaluation gains from BSP’s gold holdings resulting from the increase in the price of gold in the international market, and 4) the BSP’s income from its investments abroad. However, the increase in reserves was partially tempered by
payments made by the NG for servicing its foreign exchange obligations. The end-January 2019 level of GIR continues to serve as an ample external liquidity buffer and is equivalent to 7.2 months’ worth of imports of goods and payments of services and primary income. It is also equivalent to 6.2
The enhanced structure of the report requires UBs/ KBs to disclose interest rates on actual loans granted and deposits generated classified as to product types, maturity period/terms, and size (of deposits) as of a given reference period. The information generated from said reports provide analytical support for policy decisions as well as assessment of interest rate risk exposure of the industry. Data on
bank interest rates on loans and deposits are published on the BSP website on a regular basis. These will provide consumers with more valuable information to compare costs and evaluate their needs based on the best loans and deposits products available to them. The compilation and publication of bank interest rates on loans and deposits are aligned with the international best practice

Prior to his new post, he served as the commander of 402nd Infantry “Stinger” Brigade since 2016 which makes him best-fitted to stir the helms of the Division for being accustomed to the sociological and security situation in the area and had already established “teamwork” for peace and development with local governments units in the region. In his remarks, BGen Gacal expressed his gratitude to the AFP chief of staff and commanding general of PA, General Benjamin Madrigal Jr., LtGen Alberto, for bestowing him the trust and confidence to lead the noble warriors of 4ID. He also pledged to continue building the 4ID into a formidable, deterrent and fighting force in order to contribute for national development with culture of peace and unity. Gacal emphasized to give importance to collaboration and stakeholders engagement in addressing various security concerns. “After all security is and shall always be a shared responsibility,” Gacal said. On operationalization of Executive Order 70 which calls for ‘whole of nation’ approach in combatting insurgency, Gacal said they will embark on a peaceful war which intends to build partnerships, reconnecting our government and private entities with geographically distant communities to bring back to the functions of society to be no longer isolated and disadvantaged.

Sat-Sun, February 9-10, 2019 design and publishing company, Media Wise Communications, Inc. in 1993. A visual artist, advertising and publishing professional, Monching, is a multi-awarded publisher and artist. He won his first Catholic Mass Media citation as well as a Philippine Quill award for publishing MUSE, a magazine dedicated to art, culture and travel. He has had three one man art exhibits. Joining them in the editorial team are two Jesuits who previously served at Xavier Ateneo and two graduates who are now journalists. Fr. Jose S. Arcilla SJ was the book’s Principal Writer, Journalist John Nery, Editor and Mike Baños, also a journalist as a member of the writers’ pool. Fr. Rene Javellana SJ, currently the archivist of the Archives of the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus, bolstered the team with photos and documents related to the topics presented in the book. Fr. Arcilla did his Jesuit regency at Xavier Ateneo in 1954. After his MA in History at the Loyola University in Chicago he was assigned in Xavier Ateneo from 1965-68, serving as a college professor, XU Grade School student counselor and Glee Club moderator. He was a professor of history at the Ateneo de Manila University and served as Archivist of the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus. Among his many published works is An Introduction to Philippine History, Rizal: A Tribute, and Formation of Philippine Society. Similarly, Fr. Javellana also spent his regency at Xavier Ateneo as a high school teacher in late 60’s. Journalist John Nery was formerly the online editor and currently writes a column for the Philippine Daily Inquirer. His Revolutionary Spirit: Jose Rizal in Southeast Asia was published by Singapore’s Institute of Southeast Asian Studies and by the Ateneo de Manila University Press in 2011. John studied Philosophy in Ateneo de Manila. He also went to Xavier UniversityAteneo de Cagayan and Ateneo de Davao. After finishing his AB Philosophy at AdMU, he taught at the Xavier Ateneo High School. He has received awards for his journalism; his book editing has been recognized with two National Book Awards. He was Nieman Fellow in Journalism at Harvard University in 2011-2012 and the Jaime V. Ongpin Memorial Lecturer in 2013. Freelance writer and journalist Mike Baños started his pre-school at Ateneo de Zamboanga in 1964 but later moved to Western Mindanao State University (formerly Zamboanga Normal College, and later Zamboanga State College) where he finished his Grade School and High School. He
got his AB Economics from Ateneo de Zamboanga (now a university) in 1978 (class salutatorian) and his Master in Business Administration in 2000 from Xavier Ateneo. A dedicated community journalist, Mike has had a wide-ranging career which included stints with the local government and chamber of commerce, academe, banking, retail, and broadcast and print media (ABS-CBN, FUBC, Business World, The Manila Chronicle, The Philippine Star, Today) but his heart remains with community journalism and he writes online and in local newspapers as a freelance writer and journalist. He was a pioneer fellow of the Dart Centre Asia Pacific (for Trauma Journalism) in 2009, and was recognized by the Rotary Club of Manila Journalism Awards as 2017 Provincial Reporter of the Year (Print). Not the least, and perhaps most important for giving meaning and purpose to On the March, is Fr. Jose V.C. Quiliongquilong, SJ, STD who succeeded Fr. Herbert Schneider SJ as President and Executive Director of the Philippine Jesuit Aid Association, Inc. (PJAA). Fr. Joe studied A.B. Sociology at Xavier Ateneo before joining the Society of Jesus. He completed formation in philosophy (Ateneo de Manila University), Bachelor in Sacred Theology and Master of Arts in Theology (Loyola School of Theology) before his ordination to the priesthood in 1993. He is also concurrently the President of the Loyola School of Theology , Ateneo de Manila University. Fr. Joe was already actively part of the team last year and was primarily responsible for facilitating the book launch last September 29, 2018 at the Arete. All proceeds from the sale of On the March will be donated to the PJAA for the benefit of elderly, retired and infirm Jesuits, and the promotion of Jesuit vocations in the Philippine province. Perhaps it was only appropriate that Monching and Fr. Joe received the Platinum Anvil for On the March during at the 54th Anvil Awards Gabi ng Parangal at the Marriot Grand Ballroom held 30 January 2019 in Pasay City. The Platinum Anvil is not the first prestigious award for Media Wise. Already the recipient of numerous local and international publishing awards in previous years, Media Wise romped off with four awards at the 16th Philippine Quill Awards held July 9, 2018 at the Manila Marriott in Pasay City for three of its coffee-table books: PNB: One Hundred Years of Service Excellence and St. Andrew’s School One Hundred Years - Pro Deo et Patria (both in the Publications category) and The Maestro of Philippine Basketball (for Writing and Special Projects). The Gold Quill Awards program recognizes business
communication excellence globally, and is acknowledged as one of the most prestigious awards programs in the industry. Winners of a Philippine Quill are considered to have achieved the pinnacle in business communication excellence. Previously, Media Wise was recognized with a Merit Award by The International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) in the 2017 Gold Quill Awards program for the publication of Jesuits In Mindanao: The Mission under the Communications Skills Division (Category 26: Publications). The IABC Gold Quill Awards are the global initiative of the IABC to recognize and award excellence in strategic communication worldwide, and is acknowledged as one of the most prestigious awards programs in the industry. IABC awarded a total of 227 entries, with 74 Excellence and 138 Merit at the Excellence Awards Gala held 13 June 2017 as part of the World Conference in Washington, D.C. Previously, Jesuits in Mindanao: the Mission won the Philippine Quill Award of Excellence for Publications under the Communications Skills Division in 2013, and another at the IABC Asian Pacific Silver Quill Awards held in Singapore on September 2017. Meantime, PNB: One Hundred Years of Service Excellence also won a Gold Anvil Award at the 52nd Anvil Awards in 2017.

yet familiar with dragon fruit and how to properly propagate it,” she said in a statement. Aside from the establishment of local plantations, Miguel said they are also promoting the planting of dragon fruit in backyards or home gardens. She noted that the fruit can be a good source of nutrient supplements for households as it is rich in Vitamin C and could help combat Cancer and other diseases. DA-12 has been promoting the planting of dragon fruit, which is sold in the local markets at PHP100 to PHP200 per kg. Miguel said the city was among the area found viable for the planting of the crop, which comes from the cactus family (g. Hylocereus) and thrives under direct sunlight. She said the free seedlings being distributed by the local government were provided by DA-12, through an earlier request from the South Cotabato Farmer’s Association. “Once our production eventually becomes substantial, DA-12 will help us process and market it,” she added.

the Philippines. The Platinum citation reads: “For recognizing the vital role of Jesuits in the country, the book highlights their mission and achievements, including
their evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience.” The project was conceived so that practical, sustainable aid could be channeled to the Jesuit
community. To do that, a beneficiary institution was chosen, the Philippine Jesuit Aid Association Inc. PJAAI is dedicated to providing for the healthcare needs of infirm priests. On the March was the only Gold Anvil awardee in the publications category which was also cited with a Gold Platinum Award.
Presented annually by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP) the ANVIL is the symbol of Excellence in Public Relations. It is awarded to outstanding PR programs, tools and practitioners. On the March bagged the Platinum Anvil for PR Tools, under the Publications category, the only one so cited in this category. Unless a reader of this book reads the publication credits in its opening pages, he would not know how a group of dedicated alumni from Xavier UniversityAteneo de Cagayan (Xavier Ateneo) contributed their hearts and souls to its publication. Foremost among them are executive publishers, Manuel Paras Engwa and Ramoncito Ocampo Cruz. Manny graduated from Xavier Ateneo (Class Salutatorian, High School 1966, AB Economics, 1969). He attended the Industrial Economics program of the University of Asia and the Pacific. On the March is his personal tribute to the Jesuits who have dedicated their lives to the Philippines. Manny Engwa’s professional experience encompasses investment, agribusiness, property and pharmaceuticals. He has worked for a prestigious multinational since 1981, and has served as country
