EcoWaste Coalition donates pedicabs, tools to Cugman

Text and Photos by MARK FRANCISCO

ARANGAY Cugman is one of only three barangays in the country to have received vehicles and tools to be used in collecting garbage.

The turnover of 17 pedicabs, five motorcycles and 30 sets of tools and personal protective equipment (PPE) was done Thursday afternoon at Chali Beach Resort in barangay Cugman, this city by EcoWaste Coalition project coordinator Mary Jane Salingay to barangay Cugman chairman Wendelyn Escobia. Salingay said that for this year, there were only three cities which are recipients of the project – Quezon City, Davao City and Cagayan de Oro City. In each city, EcoWaste

Coalition chose from among the barangays which had solid waste management ideals but could not afford to implement them in practice due to budget constraints. Barangay Cugman topped the list. In his speech, Escobia said they are grateful to EcoWaste Coalition and its funder World Vision for choosing barangay Cugman as one of the recipients of their project since garbage collection has always been a problem in his barangay which has a population of THESE are the pedicabs donated by World Vision through EcoWaste Coalition to be used by barangay Cugman in See DONATES, page 11

Ayala CEO: Private sector will join gov’t at the frontline to reopen economy safely MAKATI CITY - Ayala Corporation Chairman and CEO Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala conveyed his appreciation to lawmakers led by Congresswoman Sharon Garin and members of the House Committee on Economic Affairs for extending the invitation for him to participate in the discussion on “A Private Sector Perspective in Build Back Better After Covid-19”.

Zobel said that the IATF’s implementation of community quarantine has given the country more time to boost healthcare capacity, formulate proper policies, and implement the necessary infrastructure to curb the rise of COVID-19 cases, which the University of the Philippines projected would have reached 3.5 million cases or 171,000 deaths if no lockdown had been

imposed. “The private sector supports the government’s initiatives to safeguard the nation’s collective health and help restore our people’s confidence through appropriate health-related guidelines and measures,” he said as he highlighted areas where the private and the public sectors can work together even more closely for a “better, more resilient

DILG-10 to LGUs: COVID-19 patients should be in Ligtas Centers CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY-Countering the false news on "house-to-house search" for coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 positive cases, the Department of the Inte-

rior and Local Government (DILG) reiterates that the order is to bring the patients to Ligtas Centers as a precautionary measure to curtail transmission.

During the NorMin COVID-19 Response Task Force press conference, July 17, Regional Director Arnel Agabe reiterates that the order is to bring the patients to Ligtas Centers as a precautionary measure to curtail transmission and not to do ‘Tokhang.’ (DILG 10)

During the NorMin COVID-19 Response Task Force press conference, July 17, DILG-10 Regional Director Arnel Agabe said, "Giklaro ni SILG Eduardo Año nga kini nga gabuhaton sa atong national government ug local government units dili ni siya 'Tokhang' usa kini nga pamaagi sumpay sa paningkamot aron dili mudaghan ang COVID sa nasud." (SILG Eduardo Año clarified that this action of the national government and local government units is not 'Tokhang' [involvement of officers going door to door to root out drugrelated offenders] but a way to continue the efforts on containing the spread of COVID in the country) Such will be done through the local epidemiological surveillance unit to go to the reported houses with COVID-19 confirmed cases

so the latter can be sent immediately to Ligtas COVID Centers where they can be monitored and treated. Agabe added that it is conducted "aron mapugngan nga makatakod sila sa ilang kauban sa pamilya, silingan o lain pang lumulupyo nga posible nilang matakdan during the course nga naa pa sa ilaha ang virus." (to keep them from infecting other members of the family, neighbors or other residents who will possibly be infected during the course when the virus is still with them) Based on Repuclic Act No. 11332 or the Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseases and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act, the government plays the vital role in ensuring that the COVID-19 patients are well taken care of as See CENTERS, page 11

Home-supported learning: Using what works in schools By MELODY S. PAÑARES, Teacher I Maningcol Central School Division of Ozamiz City

AS teachers and parents, we are all feeling overwhelmed by the news about COVID-19 and the effects on our everyday lives. But, supporting learning and keeping a sense of normalcy and routine for kids is important, especially during sudden school clo-

sures. As schools and teachers are working quickly to create distance-learning plans, parents are juggling many uncertainties including work situations and basic needs, all while trying to keep their kids engaged with learning at home.

Keep a routine. Create a daily schedule with your child that includes math and reading as well as choice activities such as drawing, building, or dancing. It does not have to be perfect so do not stress. Turn off the news and talk. Limit the news, which can be scary, especially for young children. Remind your child they are safe and that life will get back to normal. Ask them how they are feeling. They can draw or write about it too. Stay connected. Your school is likely creating a plan for digital learning. Stay in touch with teachers and other parents to work through it together. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Enjoy family time. Play cards, cook a new or favorite recipe, make up silly songs, look at old family photos and write a story about them. Your child will be learning and having fun!

COVID-19 IS A WAKE-UP CALL

Mother earth is now facing its 6th extinction and in the absence of a major change the global system will collapse in less than one hundred years. The unimaginable is becoming imaginable: the end of life on earth. Why is this so? Glaring is unsustainability in ecology manifested by climate change causing so much ecological turbulence and the extinction of billions of species that the Creator put in existence even before the homo sapiens came into being. It has been said that the most flawed of all creation is the homo sapiens. In the 20th century alone, that species killed its own kind at the tune of more than 100 million human beings, the offshoot of two world wars and the cleansing of Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler and continuing conflict in the Middle East and Mindanao. T he ant h rop o ge n i c climate change continues without let-up as carbon emission cannot be stopped as no less than the US President Trump and cohort global corporations are trumping the integrity of Mother Earth as they cannot stop their heavy rakings of some 9 trillion dollars yearly or 10 million dollars every minute through the

continuing use of fossil fuel and coal. With so much veneration to the profit motive that has already captured the mind of all governments, all universities, all religious groups and all institutions that are now conniving to sacrifice Mother Earth and the people to the altar of greed and profit, what must the Creator do to awaken humanity in deep slumber, buried in so much materialism and consumerism? Covid-19 could be the awakening process. And rightfully so as everyone is now on a standstill but are not reflecting. Let us therefore make a little reflection. Please allow me to reflect on the depth of paradoxes perpetuated by man himself. We use to shout, “Prosperity for all! In a world where only eight families have a consolidated wealth equal to the combined assets of 3.6 billion people (according to an Oxfam study), the imperative need for equitable distribution of resources has become glaring. In the U.S., a cake worth $42,000 was voraciously eaten in a party while some 821 million people on earth are hungry. Now, am not surprised why the number of COVID-19 victims in the

US is the highest. Let us now advance social transformation for people, planet, prosperity and peace. Such call is foremost in the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, pronouncing in clear categorical term to stop poverty and hunger, stop social injustice, stop gross social inequities, among the 17 SDGs. Even His Holiness Pope Francis has underscored such call in his recent encyclical pronouncement in Laudato si’ on care for our common home. His Holiness critiques consumerism and irresponsible development, laments environmental degradation and global warming and calls all people of the world to take swift and united global action. Wonderful pronouncement from the Pope amidst the paradox of religious apathy and moral collapse on climate change.

Letters from Davao

And the saga ended

“THAT’S All Folks” It’s now over. The saga of the powerful and influential broadcast network in the Philippines, ABS CBN, has ended. For half a century the network was the country’s king-make. Its owners make up for what seems like a shadow government only more powerful as it dictates the terms and conditions in the executive and legislative departments whoever sits there. It took martial law to deprive the Network of its power...but only for a brief period. When the Cory government took over and assume dictatorial authority under a revolutionary government, she restored the Network back to the Lopezes in a silver platter, refurbished and gratis et amore. From then on it reboot its operations under the flagship - Benpres Holdings. ABS CBN was the prime propaganda machine of the fledgling and floundering government of Corazon Aquino and in no time at all regained its power and influence. So powerful was the Network and docile were the administrations during and after Cory, that its sister companies borrowed money from the Development Bank

of the Philippines and were mysteriously written off. And the firm had created a maze domestic and foreign outfits that creatively evade billions of pesos in taxes. And then came an unbelievable development which elicited curiosity. Was there a falling out in its cozy affair between the Lopezes and the Aquinos? In 2014, in anticipation of the end of the life of the ABS CBN franchise, the Network applied for renewal with Aquino-controlled Congress. The legislators who earlier impeached and convicted Supreme Court Justice Renato Corona with an incentivized directives from Malacanang junked the renewal application of the Network’s franchise. Because it was yet three years before the term of Aquino ends, there were no stirrings from within the Network but even then was surprising. The Lopezes had three long years to work out for another 25-year extension of its franchise with then Pres. Benigno Simeon Aquino III but this seemed to have been placed in a freezer. Talks were rife with rumors that the Network was asked to render a vital task of

Jun Ledesma

wooing voters to elect Mar Roxas, the Liberal Party, and Aquino-anointed Presidential candidate. It looks like the Network did its part of the bargain and it even went to the extent of canceling the paid advertisement of Rodrigo R. Duterte who had overtaken Roxas in the surveys. If that was not foul enough, the Network instead aired an anti-Duterte ad that used children to demean the Davao City Mayor. True Duterte was hurting with the roughshod treatment he got from the Network, but had forgiven the management and advised them to just donate the amount he paid for the unaired political ads to charity. With the rejection of the renewal of the franchise of ABS CBN, the sound and fury of those supportive of the Network placed the blame on Duterte.

A day in the life of a school administrator By HAPPY A. LUI Administrative Assistant III Division of Tangub, Tangub City

A D M I N I S T R AT O R S unlike teachers work a 12-month year and are fairly busy most of that time. Whether running a small private day care center or an overcrowded public high school, an administrator’s tasks are many and various ranging from curriculum development to student discipline. Of course, curriculum is mainly dictated by the K-12 program but administrators have spacious rooms to improve on this

curriculum so they could compete and excel over other schools. The most fami li ar school administrator is the principal. Assisting the principal are vice principals whose duties tend to be more specialized and who have more responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the school. In a central administration office, other specialists work with some or all the schools in a given district, overseeing administra-

for the P1-billion RCEF a l l o c at i on f or c re d it , and mandated to make available P500 million in loans annually to rice farmers in 59 out of 80 rice-producing provinces covered by the Program from year 2019 to 2024. Direct lending under the ERCA-RCEF Program has been made available to eligible borrowers at an affordable interest rate of 2% per annum. For on-lending, interest rate is at 0% per annum with prescribed pass-on rate to end-borrowers of up to 6% per annum. Individual farmers may use the loan under the Program for the purchase of farm inputs for rice and rice seed production, and acquisition of farm machineries and equipment for production

and post-production. For cooperatives, the lo an may b e us e d for t h e pu rc h a s e of f ar m inputs for rice and rice s e e d pro du c t i on a s a collective operation, working capital for rice and r i c e s e e d t r a d i ng operation and other rice farming-related activities, acquisition of machineries and equipment, relending to small rice farmers listed in the Registr y System for Basic Sectors in Agriculture (RSBSA), and rediscounting of existing loans of small rice farmers listed in the RSBSA. “LANDBANK is c ont i nu ou s ly wor k i ng with the Department of Agriculture to intensify our support to the agriculture s e c t o r. T h r o u g h t h e ACEF and ERCA-RCEF Loan Programs, we aim to assist more farmers and fishers, as well as their cooperatives and associations, so they can boost their productivity an d prof it abi l it y, an d contribute significantly in ensuring food security in the country especially with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,” LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo said.

Teachers as designers By BLENDYL C. FERNANDEZ, Teacher I Maningcol Central School Division of Ozamiz City

THE requirement for teachers to craft learning experiences is a mode of thinking analogous to engineering, architecture and graphic design. Design cognition is crucial to teacher expertise, and requires a precise understanding of desired outcomes (as intellectual standards), as well as the ability to construct the means of achieving these standards. Teachers with highly developed design cognition are not just able to construct numerous pathways to a desired outcome, but to recognize opportunities for alternative outcomes as part of the learning experience. In our school context, the design thinking of teachers allowed ‘learning’ but not school as per normal) to continue during the pandemic.

The rapid shift in conditions for learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic is what is referred to in design thinking as a ‘design challenge’. It requires the harnessing of several cognitive skills: analysis and evaluation of the problem, the proposition and clarification of a solution, followed by the evaluation and justification of the proposed solution. This type of thinking is best practiced collaboratively, in recognition of the value of collective cognitive application when solving problem. The design-challenge of COVID was multifaceted. It was not simply shifting rapidly to online learning platforms, but negotiating further limitations such as access to technology, ICT proficiency as well as physical restrictions of a lockdown and quarantine.

Two former members of CPP-NPA Mario and Albert (not their real name) are now helping their family’s financial needs after graduating in Alternative Learning System Secondary at Brgy. San Lorenzo Ruiz, Sinacaban, Misamis Occidental. They took upTechVoc courses on Shielded Metallic Arc Welding NC-I at the Christian Mindanao Colleges and acquired their NC-I in SMAW and soon SMAW NC-II under Kabataang Ligtas sa Teror-

ismo sa Pangkabuhayan at Pagnenegosyo Program (KABLIT-PAP) of Alternative Learning System in collaboration with TESDA, DTI, LGU and AFP. Because of their strong determination and positive work values, they used their skills in SMAW as they started working as self employed in their own locality, private individuals and government agencies within Sinacaban Municipality. Much of their desire to help their families but

their income is not enough to support their needs specially now that they have children of their own, so they used their vacant time in accepting welding jobs to earn extra income. With these they were so thankful to the (KABLITPAP) Program for this life changing event opportunity. With this they received National Certificate and Welding tool kits that they can use in applying for jobs and in starting a small welding shop of their own.

ABSENT: None ====================================================================== AUTHOR: HON. RONY N. SAGOCSOC EXPLANATORY NOTE Water is a limited resource, and being a basic need of man, must be conserved and used efficiently to sustain sufficient supply in the future. The people of Camiguin is so fortunate as the island is blessed with sufficient sources of good, safe and potable water. Almost all of the inhabitants have the access therewith, but indiscriminate drilling and excavation of wells, if not regulated, might destroy the resources, thus, it should be prohibited. According to study, excessive pumping of groundwater in coastal areas can cause saltwater to move in land and upward, resulting in saltwater contamination of water supply. Another negative effect of deep wells is the land subsidence. This will occur when there is loss of support below the ground, mainly from the overuse of groundwater, when the soil collapses, compacts and drops. In this view, there is a compelling need to enact a local legislation to strengthen the protection, conservation and preservation of this gift of nature in the Province of Camiguin by amending Provincial Ordinance No. 2003-05 enacted in Year 2003. Hence: PROVINCIAL ORDINANCE NO. 2020-84 “AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE DRILLING AND ESTABLISHMENT OF WELLS ANYWHERE IN THE PROVINCE OF CAMIGUIN, AMENDING FOR THIS PURPOSE, PROVINCIAL ORDINANCE NO. 2003-05, ENTITLED: “AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR PROHIBITION OF ESTABLISHMENT OF SHALLOW/DEEP WELLS IN CAMIGUIN”. Be it enacted by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Camiguin, in session assembled: SECTION 1. TITLE. This Ordinance shall be known as the “CAMIGUIN SHALLOW/DEEP WELL CONTROL ORDINANCE OF 2020”. SECTION 2. DEFINITION OF TERMS. For purposes of this Ordinance, the following definition shall prevail: A. CAMIGUIN. It means anywhere in Camiguin Province.

B. DEEP WELL. It refers to the deepness of a well which is thirty (30) feet or more from the surface of the ground to the underground source of water.

C. SHALLOW WELL. It refers to a well having less than thirty (30) feet depth from the surface of the ground to the underground source of water.

D. WELL. It refers to an alternate source of water supply where water is drawn from the water level thru a pipe dug into the ground using the principle of suction and/or manually driven (“atabay”) to bring water out.

SECTION 3. PROHIBITION OF DRILLING AND ESTABLISHMENT OF WELLS. The Provincial Government hereby prohibits drilling and establishment of wells anywhere in Camiguin. Any existing wells shall be closed and demolished. SECTION 4. PENALTY. Any individual or juridical person who violates this Ordinance shall be subjected to a fine of P5,000.00 or six months imprisonment or both, aside from the demolition of the well. SECTION 5. REPEALING CLAUSE. Provincial Ordinance No. 2003-05 is hereby accordingly repealed, amended or modified. SECTION 6. EFFECTIVITY. This Ordinance shall take effect upon its approval and after compliance of publication and posting requirements. ENACTED: JUNE 16, 2020.” ======================================================================== I HEREBY CERTIFY TO THE CORRECTNESS OF THE FOREGOING: ATTESTED: RODIN M.

The second bitter reality is the unsustainability in the economy as only a few are in control of the resources. Who decides? Who profits? Who benefits? And these global oligarchs are giving high adherence to the growth-at-all-cost development strategy called Neo-

Liberal Capitalism which is only successful in sacrificing mother earth and the people to the altar of greed and profit! These oligarchs are using “trickle-down approach to the masses as an alibi. No sir! No such thing. In so-called trickle-down approach, we just allow all those which have already passed the digestive system of cattle to be eaten by the poor Let us now all wake up. Today, there is need for a paradigm shift: from unsustainability to sustainability! Money should not be used to make more money but to improve the quality of life of the people. Enough is enough of economic development that benefits only a few. No less that a national leader from Myanmar by the name of Aung San Suu Kye, the State Councilor of Myanmar, leader of the national league for democracy, has stressed this truism in her speech, saying that human development must now be the focus and not

consumerism and materialism. Yes, “higit sa lahat, TAO.” In this context, the essence of cooperativism has become the answer because its DNA is that of being members-owned, valuebased and sustainable. It is the only countervailing force to debunk the contemporaneous development paradigm. This is the reason why the United Nations has coined the term, Transformative Cooperatives for People, Planet, Prosperity and Peace, to advance the UN’s SDG. Even His Holiness Pope Francis has given credence to cooperativism as the path to serve the least of our brethren, questioning why in a world with so much abundance and food, many are wallowing in hunger and poverty. Indeed, one’s talent must not be used for self-aggrandizement but to collectively advance the welfare of everyone, for God’s greater Glory! HOY GISING!

a word was heard from Duterte who, along with the Cabinet members were busy working on how to c ont ai n t h e s pre a d of COVID 19. The opposition senators of course condemned the decision. Even Sen. Dick Gordon said that the “cancellation” of the franchise will have a chilling effect on the Philippine press. He forgot that the ABS CBN franchise had expired and even the Supreme Court said so. But listening to the litany of issues against the Network and the owners, it will be scandalous for Congress to grant it another lease. So grave and shocking were the revelations that provided us the answer why even t he Aqu i no C ong re ss , jettisoned its renewal application. A chilling effect on the media? As I write this piece major broadcast network had been assailing the Congress for not resurrecting ABS CBN. Will it mean the demise of press freedom in the Philippines? Far from it.

Online English teaching a safe and resilient livelihood that bridges people and cultures

HILE the Philippine economy reels from the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic with the easing of quarantine restrictions, the months-long quarantine have created a chain reaction that led to many Filipinos losing their jobs and livelihood. On March 16, President Rodrigo Duterte declared the entire island of Luzon with its population of 58 million under community quarantine to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. Though community quarantine measures are effective methods in flattening the infection curve, it resulted in a downturn in economic activity. Public transport was halted and the movement of private vehicles was also regulated. Various industries were badlyhit, causing a stoppage of business operations, massive lay-offs, and ceasehiring altogether. Tourism, trade, and consumption drastically dropped during this period, and according to the Department of Labor and Employment Secretary Silvestre Bello III, 2.6 million Filipinos have already lost their jobs due to the temporary halting of operations of business establishments. As the onsite or office-based jobs and opportunities dwindled, home-based, online jobs and livelihoods flourished as a safe and resilient way

to conduct business and continue earning. The Philippines, as among the most populous English-speaking nations, has long been a destination for top business process outsourcing firms and call centers. In recent years, online English teaching has become a very popular career choice, which turned out to be one of the least affected jobs amid the pandemic. Most online teachers in the Philippines typically work from home, which insulated them from the quarantine measures that have devastated other businesses. Being an online English teacher can be very rewarding. In 2019, the average monthly salary in the Philippines was PHP 50,600 and online English teachers may earn more than this amount per month, depending on their number of classes. Online English platform 51Talk, which has been around since 2011, has been promoting this home-based online English teaching opportunity. 51Talk connects its 20,000 English teachers to Chinese students using its proprietary technology called Air Class to deliver live, one-on-one, interactive, and fun lessons. Zeeryl Vivi, a licensed professional teacher from Bacolod City, has been teaching with 51Talk for two years now. Zeeryl said that her earnings have increased during the pandemic because her students are mostly staying

at home. “I continued to earn from home despite the quarantine restrictions. I actually realized that I was earning more than usual and I was able to provide for my family’s needs. This home-based opportunity really helped us a lot.” Despite initial reservations, more and more people are coming to appreciate online freelance opportunities that are flexible yet stable and sustainable. “My family is really thankful that I was able to contribute even more during this time. My dad was not able to receive his salary for two months and I was able to cover some of the bills that we have here at home,” added Zeeryl. Teacher Xandra Hill found her career as a professional pilot in limbo as travel restrictions meant that the travel industry was put in a standstill. “As a pilot, the world literally stopped for me because of the suspension of work, which was my main source of income. I had to look for alternative means to earn and sustain my family’s daily necessities. That’s how I found 51Talk,” said Xandra. Xandra is a graduate of AB Psychology and loves to teach. She said that her family felt proud that she was able to be productive during the quarantine while helping people in a different kind of way. “To those looking for a job in these trying times, I strongly recommend teaching at 51Talk. You can earn in the comfort and safety of your own homes, anytime. All you need is a computer, a good internet connection, and a heart that is willing to serve other people through teaching,” added Xandra. Newly-launched teacher Trixie Laura worked as a production staff in an advertising company before she joined 51Talk. Having no background in teaching, she said it was quite challenging at first because teaching was far from what she was used to doing. At 51Talk, teachers are encouraged to attend the free training sessions that equip them with the necessary teaching skills to make them competent and confident in handling online lessons. “This livelihood opportunity helped me discover new skills and has eased my anxiety as I get to

earn and keep myself busy,” explained Trixie. 51Talk, even throughout the pandemic, has been hard-at-work in empowering Filipinos across the Philippines by spreading awareness about the advantages of being a homebased online English teacher through digital conferences and webinars, and social media campaigns. “Everyone has seen, especially in the past three months, that earning a livelihood from home is not just possible but also sustainable and profitable. Business processes like meetings and interviews can all be carried out virtually with the aid of technology. We have been doing this for 9 years now and as you can see, our teachers are able to earn and be safe as they continue to teach from home with 51Talk.” said 51Talk Founder and CEO Jack Huang. 51Talk recently has generated a great deal of attention in the news and in social media. In a video message posted on social media, Mr. Huang encouraged Filipinos whose regular work was affected to join 51Talk. “If the pandemic affected your job, then 51Talk can offer you a new option. There has probably never been a better time than right now to teach English online,” according to Mr. Huang. The Chinese market for foreign English teachers has grown massively over the past decade, and it shows no sign of slowing down. In China, all children from age seven are required by law to learn English and most parents enroll their

children earlier than this, even as young as two years old because they want their children to gain an advantage in a highly competitive environment. This means there is a very bright future for the online ESL industry in the Philippines to meet this increasing demand from China. The Phillippine government in recent years has made great strides in furthering its relationship with China. On the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between the two countries, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte sought stronger ties amid challenges such as the on-going COVID-19 pandemic adding that these special ties should be fully realized. President Duterte describes Chinese President Xi Jinping as a “valued friend” and he promised to “preserve and build on the gains of our close partnership for greater peace, progress and prosperity for our nations.” During President

Duterte’s most recent visit to China in 2019, the two countries discussed ways to deepen its friendship and have agreed to hasten education cooperation through sharing of information and study of languages, establishing more Confucius Institutes in the Philippines, and promoting participation in scholarships, training programs and workshops, among others. According to Mr. Huang, beyond the livelihood opportunity and English language education his platform provides, 51Talk has long been a bridge that promotes cooperation and understanding between the Philippines and China with its thousands of Filipino teachers interacting with and educating Chinese children daily. “We are very proud to serve as a bridge to further educational and cultural exchanges between the two peoples through language education. May this strengthen the bond and friendship between us,” said Mr. Huang.

22,383. In particular, Salingay is the country project coordinator for PHINLA Global Program, which is funded by World Vision in the countries of Philippines, Indonesia and Sri Lanka that aims to develop livelihood for poverty-affected population through a multi-sectoral established and monitored waste management system. Along this line and on top of donating the garbage collection conveyances and tools, the PHINLA Global Program also trained for two days at the same venue 30 residents in barangay Cugman on proper collection of segregated household waste and transporting it to the barangay’s materials recovery facility for recycling. The turnover was the culmination of the two-day training. Buoyed by this development, Escobia immediately formed the Cugman Waste Collectors Association whose officers – all seven of them – are women. Salingay said the pedicabs will be used to collect garbage at the household level while the motorcycles will be used to transport them to the materials recovery facility. As part of its devotion to overcome communities from poverty, World Vision Philippines has been helping EcoWaste Coalition in its projects through the years. EcoWaste Solution is a public interest network of community groups pursuing sustainable solutions to waste, climate change and chemical issues facing the Philippines.

quidity for the financial system and job preservation, thus laying the foundation for building back better. Testing, Tracing, Treating, Teaching In his speech, Zobel thanked Sec. Carlito Galvez and Sec. Vince Dizon, Chief Implementer and Deputy Chief Implementer of the COVID-19 National Task Force, for onb oarding the private sector in the whole-of-nation effort led by the IATF and the Depar tment of Health against COVID19. In particular, he cited the private–public coalition Task Force T3 (Test, Trace, Treat), which includes private companies, the Asian Development Bank and Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation, and has helped to increase the country’s testing capacity by 13-fold—from 4,500 tests pre day on April 24 when T3 was launched, to approximately 60,000 by July 15. The countr y has set a target of completing a cumulative total of a million tests by the end of July. To support the governments’ initiatives, many in the private

sector such as Aboitiz group, DM Consunji, EEI Corporation, Filinvest, Manila Bulletin group, Megawide, Megaworld, MVP group, Razon group, SM group, Udenna and Vi s t a L an d h e lp e d to rapidly convert sports arenas and convention centers into dedicated COVID-19 quarantine and treatment facilities and Mega Swabbing Facilities. With the ICCP Group and Manila Exhibition Center Inc. (MEC), and with support from the Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) and the government, the Ayala group converted the World Trade Center into a 500bed quarantine facility. Private hospitals such as Asian Hospital, Chinese General, De La Sa l le Me dic a l, Ma kat i Med, Medical City, Mount Grace and Saint Luke’s, are also playing a key role in supplementing the COVID-19 treatment capacity of the Department of Health’s hospital system. Many in the private sector have also contributed significantly to the country’s RT-PCR testing capacity, notably LT g roup, MPIC, R e d Cross, San Miguel and Unilab. Furthermore, in partnership with Qualimed, Ab oit iz, L op e z g roup, JG Summit, Metrobank Foundation, Razon group and the Yuchengco group , the Ayala group is building out 4 BSL-2 laboratories and has helped to capacitate 3 existing laboratories ( t h e Tropi c a l D i s e a s e Foundation in Makati, UCMed in Mandaue City and the Southern Philippines Medical Center in Davao City). Zuellig Pharma has also been assisting with supply chain management. Meanwhile, the Ayala group also joined 300 private c omp an i e s i n Proj e c t ARK le d by S e c. Jo e y Concepcion. ARK is leading the way in complementing the government’s testing initiatives and has already helped procure almost 2 million test kits, with 65,000 tests already administered at the LGU level. ARK and Congresswoman Janette Garin, who is the ARKPCR private sector chief implementer, have also donated RT-PCR machines to 12 hospitals nationwide and are supporting a study to validate the accuracy of pooled testing for RT-PCR. Zobel also highlighted the importance of the fourth T (Teach) in T3. B eyond establishing sanitation protocols in workplaces, private companies should also rollout educational campaigns that would guide the public in adjusting to the “new normal.” “There is a strong need to highlight the significant positive impact that adhering to stringent minimum health standards can generate and complement this with strong measures to protect

Fri-Sat, July 17-18, 2020 our vulnerable population segments,” Zobel said. Transportation, Digitization Zobel also said there is a need to provide safe, affordable, and convenient mass transportation for the workforce. He cited as an example the strict health and safety protocols being implemented in LRT-1 for a safe re-opening of the train line. Plastic barriers have been installed to allow for physical distancing. Thermal scanners have been deployed in all stations, and UV disinfection technologies have been developed in collaboration with the UP Engineering Center, to disinfect trains after every roundtrip, while common areas are cleaned every 30 minutes. An emergency disinfection response team that is trained and equipped can also be immediately deployed should there be a suspected case in a certain station. Contactless payment systems are also in place to facilitate a seamless and safe travel experience. Meanwhile, with the rising demand for digital platforms for the delivery of basic goods and services, Ayala entered the telemedicine space through HealthNow, an all-in-one digital platform that serves as an alternative channel for patients to access primary healthcare without leaving the safety of their homes. During its April to June pilot run alone, the platform had over 11,000 patient consultation requests. Zobel also noted that the community quarantine brought on a significant i n c re a s e i n c ons u m e r engagement on digital financial apps, such as Globe’s GCash and BPI’s mobile banking app. From March to June, GCash experienced a 138% increase in daily active users and 157% jump in daily active transactions. Transactions on the BPI mobile banking app, on the other hand, accounted for 90% of all bank transactions as of mid-April compared to only 70% prior to the quarantine. Helping the Vulnerable Segments Zobel also acknowledged the synergy between the b u s i n e s s c o m m u n i t y, Caritas Manila, and the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation, where over 270 private entities united to raise funds for Project Ugnayan. The project was able to efficiently distribute in a direct, timely, and efficient manner, food and grocery relief to over 14 million individuals in the Greater Manila Area. Furthermore, Z obel highlighted the challenges faced by micro, small, and medium enterprises that have been badly hit by the pandemic. MSMEs, he said, account for 99.5% of the countr y’s re g i ste re d bu s i ne ss e s ,

63% of employment, and 35% of the national gross domestic product. “It is unfortunate that these concerns have led to many small businesses ceasing operations over the last few months,” he said. “ We r e c o g n i z e t h e many initiatives of the D e p a r t m e nt o f Tr a d e and Industry to help our entrepreneurs withstand this crisis through financial support. Private sector groups, such as Go Negosyo, have also b e en cr it ic a l p ar t ners in this effort, providing mentorship and online training to businesses.” For the Ayala group, apart from waiving of rental fees in malls and extending grace periods for loan payments, the group has been actively supporting its network of over 250,000 MSMEs via the Ayala Enterprise Circle, where MSMEs can access training modules, networking opportunities, and support services to help them during these difficult times. To prepare for a safe re-entry of its workforce, the Ayala group has set up its own testing facilities for its employees, which combines Rapid Antibody Te s t i n g a s a n i n i t i a l screening protocol, with RT- P C R c on f i r mator y tests. As of July 14, a total of 53,399 employees have already been tested as Ayala implements a groupwide workforce re-entry effort. “As we navigate the uncertainties of the New Normal, we trust that the government will provide us in the private sector with guidance and support as we work together towards a better and more resilient Philippines after t h e p an d e m i c ,” Z o b e l concluded.

the isolation centers are equipped to handle their medical needs as opposed to practicing home quarantine. Any person or entity found to have violated Section 9 of this Act shall be penalized with a fine of not less than P20,000 but not more than P50,000 or imprisonment of not less than one month but not more than six months, or both such fine and imprisonment, at the discretion of the proper court, Agabe added. As for home quarantine, such will be allowed if he or she has a separate room where the patient can be confined; if the patient has his or her own comfort room; and if he or she is not living with people who are vulnerable to COVID-19 such as senior citizen and immune-compromised individuals, among others. As of July 17, a total of 373 confirmed COVID-19 cases were recorded in the region, 120 of whom have recovered, 11 have expired, and 242 are recovering. (RTP/PIA10)
