Smoke, not nicotine, causes deaths – health expert INHALATION of smoke, not nicotine, is the culprit that causes smoking related deaths and diseases according to a Canadian health expert. “The nicotine itself is not the problem. The global health catastrophe we face is due to the way it’s delivered. In short, for

anyone wishing to tackle the global toll of 20,000 lives a day lost due to cigarette smoking, we need to remember just four words: ‘it’s the smoke, stupid’,” Prof. David T. Sweanor, chair of the advisory board of the Centre for Health Law, Policy & Ethics at the University of Ottawa said.

He stressed that contrary to popular belief, nicotine is not the substance that causes these deaths. “There have been many decades of research on the health effects of cigarette smoking, and we have known since at least the 1970s that the primary cause of the cancers, heart and lung disease

is the repeated inhalation of smoke,” he said. The professor made the distinction to differentiate the risk profile of non-combustible alternatives (NCAs) like vapes, heated tobacco products (HTPs) and oral products like Sweden’s snus See CAUSES, page 11

PhilSys Step 2 registration in North Mindanao starts By FRANCK DICK ROSETE

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The Step 2 registration process for the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) in Northern Mindanao will start this month. Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Region 10 director Janith Aves said they aim to start the second step of registration in the

province of Camiguin on June 7, in Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental on June 14, and Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental on June 21. “Definitely for Cagayan de Oro City, we still could not open by June 14 because we are still in MECQ (modified enhanced community quarantine). Probably we

DAVAO CITY – Beneficiaries of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict’s (NTF-ELCAC) Barangay Development Program (BDP) in Davao del Norte town said the community rebuilder initiative will definitely change their lives. Barangays Semong and Tiburcia, two of 14 villages in Kapalong town, and Barangay Concepcion in Asuncion town, were identified as beneficiaries of BDP, NTF ELCAC’s hallmark program that aims to bring development to former communist-affected communities Semong village chief Felipe Portes said the PHP20million fund would greatly help them realize their projects. “We thank the national government for the budget. For the past years, our barangay was a communist terrorist group (CTG)-infiltrated area and now it was

declared insurgency-free,” he told the Philippine News Agency in a recent interview. As agreed by the barangay council, Portes said the fund will be utilized for road concreting of three sitios (sub-communities). Tiburcia’s Celso Quilla said their barangay did not get any road-concreting projects from the past administrations. “This is the first time that our barangay availed of a road-concreting project. We thanked NTF-ELCAC for giving us the chance to be part of the BDP,” he added. Quilla said Purok 4 to Purok 9 will benefit the most. “We hope that this kind of program will be continued after the term of President Rodrigo Duterte. It really helped our barangay,” he said. Kapalong Mayor Maria Theresa Timbol said the barangay beneficiaries deserve See RESTORES, page 10

COVID-19 pandemic and the disappearing sense of self-reliance

ROCKINGHAM, North Carolina—I’m still reading the novel ‘Walden’ by American writer Henry David Thoreau, an old book that I found online at Project Gutenberg. Somehow I don’t recall reading it before and if I did I may have forgotten about it. Anyway, ‘Walden’ recounts Thoreau’s two-year experience of living in the woods where he hunted, fished, cooked and built whatever materials and instruments he used with his own hands. The novel was by all accounts a manual for selfreliance and independence, American virtues that were the norm during the US frontier days of old and tragically lost in the centuries that followed. ‘Walden’ made me think aloud about the ongoing pandemic that swept through the world and how instead of adapting to it correctly in order to survive, not a few Americans turned and relied on the government to bail them out. In the Philippines, this is known as ‘ayuda’ or assistance and of course, Filipinos developed the mindset and often demand that they be given cash rather than food packs, though any assistance is welcomed however grudgingly it may be to a lot of people. To be fair however, Thoreau made his own decision to live in the woods and test his self-reliance while the people around the world especially Filipinos didn’t ask for the pandemic to come to their shores and were mostly caught unaware about the pandemic’s farreaching effects on their lives. But still I learned some

pointers halfway through reading the novel. In the US at the height of the pandemic, the US Congress passed a stimulus package for Americans who lost their jobs due to the lockdowns imposed in their cities and towns. Last thing I heard, the Democrats are pushing for another round of stimulus checks even if there aren’t enough votes to make it happen. ************* Yes, the COVID-19 pandemic teaching us how to be dependent on the government to feed us and protect us not only from the virus but from each other. By this I mean the others who don’t comply with minimum public health standards and are contended with receiving ‘ayuda’ rather than protecting ourselves with health protocols while working to support our families. Back in the day in the Philippines, there were families living in the mountains who didn’t have what we called modern day conveniences like electricity, appliances, Wi-Fi service, computers and mobile devices. The ‘work from home’ concept is alien to them since they already have enough work feeding their families, cleaning and other household chores that city folk usually delegate to their helpers. They are surviving even if they have minimal contact with their baranngay leaders who are the frontline representatives of their municipal, city and provincial governments. The pandemic may have toughened some of us and not all of us have the means to support ourselves beyond our paychecks. And

Susan Palmes-Dennis

in the case of both the US and Philippines, cash assistance remains the most attractive and most demanded of all aid set aside to help their constituents. This is not to diminish the urgency of ‘ayuda’ or cash doleouts in either countries and even countries around the world. A lot of people need cash assistance and in fact, any type of assistance that can help them make it through the day and succeeding days while the pandemic is ongoing. And more often than not, these people already worked to the bone trying to make both ends meet and became creative in finding ways to support themselves after losing their jobs or their business. Then there are those who, to put it bluntly, are freeloaders who complain the loudest and yet are content with letting others do the work for them while stretching their hands for cash doleouts. We’ve seen examples in social media about those in the Philippines who used their cash aid to buy new cell phones or liquor to binge-drink to their hearts’ content. That’s also pretty much what’s happening in the US, with some Americans using their stimulus checks to buy weed or marijuana and even pay for child support. ************ In Cagayan de Oro City, the clamor for cash ayuda is ringing loudest among those who demanded and now got their wish for a modified enhanced community See PANDEMIC, page 11

Have my say

Do we really need laws? US-President Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Ours is a government of liberty, by, through and under the law. No man is above it, and no man is below it.” Since we are back in MECQ, we do have to obey the old (new) quarantine laws - whether we like it or not. But there are many more laws without thinking about the pandemic. “Do not steal your neighbor’s property!” “Don’t drive your car on the sidewalk!” And all the rest of it. How many times a day does someone tell you what to do? How often do you have to stop yourself from doing what you want, because you know that this action is prohibited or wrong? It seems like we have laws, rules, and regulations to oversee just about everything. We don’t always like

these rules. Yes, you can count me in! Yet to live in a civil society, we must have some rules to follow. Laws are rules that bind all people living in a community. Laws protect our general safety, and ensure our rights as citizens against abuses by other people, by organizations, and by the government itself. We have laws to help provide for our general safety. These exist at the local, national and international levels. Our bible answers my question i.e. in Deuteronomy: Be careful to obey all these regulations I am giving you, so that it may always go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord (12:28). Deuteronomy repeats verbatim many of the laws

Klaus Doring

given in Exodus or Leviticus as well in Numbers. Yet it is far from a rulebook.It focuses on motives, why people should obey laws. Since senior citizens at the age of 65 are not allowed to leave the house at the moment, I obey the law and enjoy my home office by writing, doing translation work and online teaching. +++ Email: doringklaus@ gmail.com or follow me on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter or visit my www. germanexpatinthephilippines.blogspot.com or www. klausdoringsclassicalmusic. blogspot.com.

Proposed Mindanao WESM must be voluntary market for DUs Special Report by MIKE BAÑOS (Part 1)

THE electricity spot market for Mindanao to be launched on June 26, 2021 by the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP) should be a voluntary, not mandatory, market for distribution utilities. “There is no enabling law for the establishment of an electricity spot market in any of the isolated grids in the Philippines,” said Engr. David A. Tauli, consultant for the Iligan-based consumer group Lanao Power Consumers Federation (LAPOCOF), in a paper circulated online to energy stakeholders in Mindanao following the recent Mindanao Power Forum 2021 hosted by the Mindanao Development Authority. (MinDA) Tauli warns further that an electricity spot market in Mindanao, using the Price Determination Methodology of the WESM, will drive up prices of power supply to exorbitant levels; and will only benefit generation companies, not the distribution utilities and consumers. The IEMOP serves as the Independent Market Operator of the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM), as mandated by the Republic Act No. 9136, (Electric Power Industry Reform Act or EPIRA). As jointly endorsed by the market participants and the Department of Energy (DOE) thru its Circular No. 2018-01-0002, “Adopting Policies for the Effective Transition to the Independent Market Operator of the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market,” IEMOP’s main objective is to pursue the WESM objectives of having a fair, competitive, and reliable market for the trading of electricity throughout the 1.

Philippines. Tauli pointed out how the IEMOP presentation during the forum on the Philippine Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (PWESM) titled “Ensuring Security of Supply at Competitive Price in Mindanao”, and subtitled “Implementation of the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) in Mindanao” was misleading since the “competitive prices” would result in even higher prices of electricity in Mindanao. He also scored the presentation for its lack of transparency in not disclosing that the WESM IEMOP plans for Mindanao is not an extension of the (PWESM) into the Mindanao Grid. “Extending the PWESM to the Mindanao Grid will require physically interconnecting the Mindanao Grid to the Visayas Grid, which is the purpose of the Visayas Mindanao Interconnection Project (VMIP),” Tauli noted. “It is only after the VMIP is operational that the PWESM could be physically and legally extended to encompass the Mindanao Grid. But the IEMOP has scheduled the implementation of the MESM to start in June 26, 2021, while the VMIP is still being constructed, and scheduled for completion by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) in 2022.” The existing Philippine WESM (PWESM) currently covers only the Luzon and Visayas Grids, which are interconnected as the LuzonVisayas Grid and has no physical interconnection to the Mindanao Grid. Tauli suggested that the electricity market IEMOP is proposing be more accurately called the Mindanao Electricity Sport Market

(MESM) rather than WESM. The MESM would be an isolated electricity spot market, whether it is implemented in Batanes or in Palawan, since both are not interconnected with the Luzon-Visayas Grid. “It is also important to distinguish between a mandatory electricity market and a voluntary electricity spot market,” Tauli stressed. “That’s because IEMOP is pretending the MESM is a mandatory market, and telling the public and the distribution utilities that it is a mandatory market.” The MESM as proposed by the IEMOP starting June 26, 2021 is not a mandatory market but a voluntary market (for voluntary participation by the distribution utilities) because MESM is not an extension of the PWESM (which requires distribution utilities to purchase at least ten percent of their energy requirements from the PWESM), he noted. In addition, no enabling law for an isolated electricity market in Mindanao, or anywhere else in the Philippines, has been passed that would make an isolated electricity spot market a mandatory market, he added. High Prices of Electricity in the Proposed MESM Tauli maintains the MESM would result in higher prices of power supply from generating companies in Mindanao which could be passed on to consumers if the MESM were a mandatory market. However, MESM prices cannot be legally passed on to consumers if purchased in a voluntary market because the EPIRA requires DUs to procure power supplies in the least-cost manner. Tauli contends that higher prices will inevitably result from the proposed

Mindanao Electricity Spot Market because the Price Determination Methodology (PDM) that will be used in the MESM is the same as that being used in the PWESM. “That PDM specifies the market price of energy being sold in the MESM to be the highest bid price. For example, if for a certain hour the prices submitted by different generating companies are P1, P5, and P10 per kilowatt (kWh) in that hour, consumers will pay P10/kWh for all power deliveries from the participating generating companies.” Tauli stressed that high prices of generation will always occur in the MESM, not only as a result of a PDM that pays at the highest bid, but also because the only surplus electric power available in Mindanao are from privately-owned coal power plants and oil-fueled diesel power plants. The low-cost generation from the NPC-owned generating plants, mostly those on the Agus and Pulangi rivers, are already allocated to the distribution utilities, and could not be sold in the MESM to drive down the prices. Furthermore, the capacity of RE power plants in Mindanao is negligible and would have zero effect on reducing the prices of the fossil-fueled power plants. Moreover, there are only three or four owners of privately-owned generating plants in Mindanao that would have market power in an electricity spot market. “With only a few significant participants in a power supply market, it would be easy to collaborate to drive up prices of generation. That has already been done in Mindanao, even if the market is not short-term but long-

term. It would be much easier to collaborate to obtain high prices for generation in a short-term market,” Tauli notes. “Dave’s aim on protection of consumers to be shielded from high electricity costs is a valid and laudable concern,” said Engr. Cerael C. Donggay, former Vice President for Mindanao of the National Power Corporation. “Average Electricity Rate in Mindanao is now rising higher than Luzon’s rate (MERALCO) tagged as the most expensive rate among ASEAN Countries,” Donggay stressed. “This record is now broken by Mindanao’s Rate as one of the most expensive energy costs not only among ASEAN Countries but in the world - not yet heralded, nor touched by the international

media. While Manila end consumers’ rate ranges from P10 to P11 per kwh, Mindanao hovers above P12 to P14 per kwh,” he added. Donggay said the following factors have been driving up the prices of electricity in Mindanao: (1) excessive Supply of Capacity bigger than the actual demand; (2) Coal Plant Operators demanding for more dispatch of their energy capacity, given their supply commitments with Electric Cooperatives, resulting to, (3) dumping of free water down the drain (at the Agus-Pulangi hydroelectric power complex) that could have contributed to cheaper electricity of Mindanao if fully harnessed.

Ensuring employee engagement amid the pandemic DISRUPTIONS brought by the COVID-19 pandemic have challenged businesses in remotely managing employee experience. With a surge in work-from-home setups, it led companies to implement new policies and programs to ensure that employees were not only safe at home, but productive and well-supported. In the case of leading independent and third largest oil player Phoenix Petroleum, it was proper foresight and collaboration among the company’s teams and units that allowed them to leverage on employee engagement amid the challenging situation. As a big business in the energy and fuel industry, Phoenix was initially hit hard when lockdowns were imposed at the start of 2020 and companies were forced to operate at less than minimum capacity. A shift to a remote work setup for its thousands of employees nationwide was the immediate step they had to contend with, according to Phoenix Vice President for Human Resources Celeste Marie Ong. “Safety was our utmost priority. We were closely monitoring the Adapting to new workplace environments last year, Phoenix conducted online town hall sessions among its emspread of the virus since it ployees and business partners.

made the news, and with the assessment of our safety department, and judgment of the management, we announced alternative work arrangements, including the work-from-home set-up, days before the government implemented quarantine restrictions,” she said. The arrangement saw as much as 70 percent of Phoenix employees working from home. Meanwhile, only employees with critical operational roles were allowed to work onsite under an alternating schedule and by regulation of company supervisors. However, this was only the beginning of a major workplace shift, according to Ong. The next, bigger challenge was making sure that Phoenix employees had the necessary support to perform their tasks efficiently. “At Phoenix, employee engagement is a key metric that powers our organizational culture and helps drive company performance,” explained Ong. “So early on, HR managers were already in discussion with business unit heads to survey employee needs and get feedback on what we See EMPLOYEE, page 9

Pag-IBIG MP2, home loans hit record-high in Jan-Apr 2021 Pag-IBIG Fund achieved milestones in the first four months of the year as members availed of its voluntary savings program and housing loan program in record numbers despite the ongoing health crisis, top officials of the agency said on Friday (June 04). From January to April, members’ savings under the voluntary Modified Pag-IBIG 2 (MP2) Savings program reached P8.65 billion. On the other hand, home loans released during the period amounted

to P27.39 billion, helping 27,041 members realize their dream of homeownership. “We are happy to report that we were able to achieve two ‘highest-ever’ numbers early on in 2021. The strong showing of our MP2 and housing loan programs is a testament to the trust of Filipino workers in PagIBIG Fund. Our members can rest assured that we will continue doing our best, so that we can provide them high earnings on their savings while maintaining the low interest on our loans.

These are our contributions to the national government’s efforts towards economic recovery under the lead of President Duterte,” said Secretary Eduardo D. del Rosario of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) who also chairs the 11-member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees. In 2020, members saved P13.3 billion in MP2, growing 11% from the previous year and setting the record for the highest amount saved in one year. Pag-IBIG

AS the PR & Advertising Manager of Village Pipol Magazine, I spend most of my time sitting in front of my computer screen. And, to be honest, I am a workaholic and due to that, I’ve realized that I’ve stopped taking care of myself. I feel my skin become dry, wrinkled, and damaged. All of this happened due to the long exposure to blue light from my computer and lack of sleep. I met Dra. Tintin Tantiangco-Javier of Novel Dermatology and Cosmetology Surgery last June 22, 2019. We talked about the benefits of Juvederm Hayluronic Acid fillers and I didn’t hesitate to undergo the procedure. Then, she informed me that fillers are just a gel substance injected into the body. My Journey of Looking Great: The benefits of getting fillers Fillers set to restore the loss of volume, smooth lines, and enhance the facial contour. I mean, who doesn’t want to look younger? So, here we go! BEFORE March 9, 2021 – that day became the schedule for my procedure. Dra. Tintin evaluated my facial appearance and marked the appropriate site for the fillers. They also photograph the areas that need to be treated. They cleaned my skin and put anesthesia to numb my skin for injection. The injection also only takes a few moments. It was injected

and massaged. Then, they evaluated the result, adding fillers, as needed. On the first day of my fillers, my face feels bloated. I think it’s normal since a foreign object entered my body. Some areas feel a bit tender for a day or two. But, it’s not painful enough. It has been two months and 21 days since I visited Novel. Most of my workmates and colleagues told me that I look younger and fresh. Of course, I want to express my gratitude to Dra. Tintin for taking care of my skin. Now that I have scheduled my days, I have plenty

of time to take care of my skin. Because I do believe that fillers are great… but great skin is much better. Don’t be scared of fillers, it’s the safest procedure to See BENEFITS, page 11

Registration...

from page 2 schedule for Step 2 registration for those who have entered their demographic information online will be in August, while institutional registration in September this year. In Region 10, PSA has targeted about 1.5 million registrants for Step 1, and about 5.1 million registrants from the online portal. As for institutional registration of the national ID system, PSA-10 has targeted 107,584 institutions. As of May 31, total registrants in the region reached 1,094,833, or 144.82-percent accomplishment of the 756,000 target registrants. From the total number, Bukidnon registered 358,664, Camiguin (27,954), Lanao del Norte (271,659), Misamis Occidental (132,557), and Misamis Oriental (303,999). Aves said the parents could already register their child as early as birth for the national ID. The information will just be updated, she said, when the child reaches 15 years old. Aves also assured the public the PSA will not leak to the other agencies the information it received from the data collection. She reiterated the importance of securing a national ID. “We really need to have this ID because some of our population don’t have an ID to present if for example, they would transact business in government or in the private sector,” she added. Signed into law by President Rodrigo R. Duterte in August 2018, Republic Act 11055, or the Philippine Identification System Act, aims to establish a single national ID for all Filipinos and resident aliens. The national ID shall be a valid proof of identity that shall be a means of simplifying public and private transactions, enrollment in schools, and the opening of bank accounts. It will also boost efficiency, especially in dealing with government services where people will only need to present one ID during transactions. (PNA)

He added that working is allowed by law provided that the children are directly supervised by their parents or guardians. “Sa mga parents of child laborers, atong ihatag ang katungod sa usa ka bata, katungod nga mudula, katungod nga mu-eskwela, katungod nga mahatagan ug sakto nga health services, ug uban pang katungod para sa ilahang development aron sa ilahang kalampusan ug aron sila makahuman sa ilang pag-eskwela,” Gutib said.

Banana plantations were mostly situated here and the banana growers suffered a lot from the New People’s Army (NPA),” she added. She said in Barangay Semong, where most of the Indigenous Peoples communities reside, road networks are important to transport their goods and products. On the other hand, Barangay Concepcion, the lone BDP beneficiary in Asuncion town, will use the budget for road concreting and solar street light installation, according to village chief Frilan Amesona. He said being chosen as one of the BDP beneficiaries brought hope to their community. “We thanked the national government for recognizing Barangay Concepcion. Other barangays envy us because of BDP,” he said. Semong, Tiburcia, and Concepcion are part of the 822 villages initially identified by NTF-ELCAC to have been cleared of CPP-NPA influence. The Communist Party of the Philippines-NPA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines. Under the 2021 national budget, a total of PHP19 billion is earmarked for NTF-ELCAC, PHP16.5 billion of which is allotted for the development of the 822 barangays. Each recipient barangay would receive PHP20 million for the following: 1-kilometer farm-to-market road worth PHP12 million; classrooms (PHP3 million); water and sanitation systems (PHP2 million); health station (PHP1.5 million); and livelihood projects (PHP1.5 million). No to defunding Timbol said defunding the BDP fund would be a big disservice to the barangays that fought long and hard to clear their communities of communist influence. “I disagree 100 percent for its defunding. The PHP20million budget is a big help to the barangays, especially to

the poor residents. The local government unit is trying hard to address the needs of the barangays but our fund is not enough. That’s why this initiative under President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration does not only give valuable projects but hope to the people as well,” she further said. Quilla said that it is unjust to defund a program that addresses poverty. “As a barangay leader, if they decide to defund it, we can no longer proceed with these projects because we cannot even afford to fund it. Our sources here are limited and we badly need help from the province and most importantly in the national government,” he said. For Amesona, BDP will ultimately improve the lives of the people in the hinterland barangays. “Our constituents are very excited about the projects. If in case the defunding will proceed, hope will run out in Barangay Concepcion,” he added. Spreading hope Presidential Communications Operations Office Undersecretary Lorraine Marie Badoy said during the recent consultations in the three barangays that the BDP also restores the hope and freedom of communities cleared of the influence of the Communist Party of the Philippines-NPANational Democratic Front. She said the 822 villages located in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas need support from the government because they have been “underserved from the very start.” “They want to defund it? It is just like depriving the poor Filipinos to live a comfortable life and getting them out of poverty,” Badoy said. “They (lawmakers) are taking from the poor people their best shot out of severe poverty and towards better lives for themselves and their children.” At least six senators want to withdraw funding for the NTF-ELCAC and reallocate the budget to pandemic efforts. The NTF-ELCAC was created by virtue of Executive Order 70 issued on Dec. 4, 2018 “to provide an efficient mechanism and structure for the implementation of the Whole-of-Nation Approach

quarantine (MECQ) in the city no thanks to the surge of COVID-19 cases. While I’m sure that Mayor Oscar Moreno is finding ways to provide the food packs—not cash doleouts—he is also focusing on lowering the city’s critical care utilization rate (CCUR) which is the main basis for evaluating a local government’s quarantine status. Thankfully his political ally, Rep. Rolando Uy of Cagayan de Oro City’s first district, is finding ways and means to provide food and material assistance to his constituents while extending full support to Mayor Moreno’s health care initiatives which covers increased testing, providing isolation facilities and medical equipment to Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC), JR Borja General Hospital (JRBGH) and the city’s private and public hospitals. Both men are doing their respective roles to cushion and contain the COVID-19 surge while their most virulent and unrelenting critics are nitpicking everything they do in order to grandstand and create their own political capital in time for the 2022 elections. Most notably, the incumbent leaders in Misamis Oriental province who have designs of cornering the city’s mayoralty seat would have and want the people of Cagayan de Oro believe that only through citywide lockdowns and cash doleouts can they hope to stop the pandemic. In all of these local, national and overseas developments, I can only sigh in both frustration and resignation. Truly, the COVID-19 pandemic had somehow sapped the frontier, self-reliant spirit of old America and replaced it with a pandering, dangerous culture of political snowflake-ism and hyper-sensitive, sanctimonious entitlement. In the Philippines, particularly in Cagayan de Oro City, it somehow magnified the mindset of over-dependence on government.

Moti expressed optimism that the agency’s strong performance will continue throughout the year, especially as the restrictions are being eased to help the economy. He noted that the phenomenal performance of its MP2 last year and the increasing amount of home loans released in the last quarter of 2020 continued until the beginning months of 2021. He said that even amid the ongoing health crisis, MP2 Savings collections in January to April grew 81% while home loan releases rose 64% compared to the same period in 2020. “Even with the ongoing pandemic, the amount of home loans released and MP2 Savings collections for the first four months of 2021 are not only record-highs but are higher than what we achieved during the same period in 2019, prior to the pandemic. In the case of our MP2 alone, the amount our members voluntarily saved

from January to April this year is already equivalent to two-thirds or 65% of the amount saved in MP2 for the whole year of 2020. We thank our members for their continued trust in Pag-IBIG Fund and in choosing to rely on us for their home financing and savings needs. These give us hope that, barring another black swan event, we are on our way to another best year in fulfilling our mandates to Filipino workers here and abroad,” said Moti.

Garcia said that the Bethel Baptist Hospital (BBH) at Sumpong, this city, volunteered to admit COVID patients soon as its special designated facility for such patients is ready by next week’s 15th of June. Bethel Hospital blazed the trail of the pioneering days of private hospitals in Bukidnon. At the same broadcast interview, social comments and observations indicated that the COVID-19 transmissions hit even persons with no travel history outside of their community. This prompted local health officials to warn the public to do more safety steps as they follow the repeatedly given normal health protocols. The grim warning chills as it came in the wake of unconfirmed reports that the coronavirus is

airborne. If so, the virus flits in the air and eerily moves unseen like rolling tumbleweeds. It goes where the wind blows. Whoever is out there in the open is endangered extremely by this deadly malady. While the “airborne spread” of COVID-19 is still speculative, as explained by the World Health Organization, the local government units and health authorities here are urging the public to keep wearing a facemask and face shield; maintain at least six feet away from others; avoid large gatherings; wash hands often with soap and water; clean frequently touched objects and surfaces; stay at home, and get vaccinated as soon as eligible.

is alive,” a teary-eyed brother told the military and police. Lt. Jefferson M. Mariano, the civil military officer (CMO) of the Claveria-based 58 Infantry Brigade, said that Himalao’s skeletal remains were retrieved in the remote mountain village of Bulahan in Claveria Thursday. He said that a former rebel disclosed about the exact place where Himalao’s body was dumped after the communist rebels executed him in 1987. The police intelligence who joined in the search and retrieval operations confirmed that Himalao was an “asset” when killed in his 30’s in 1987. Lt. Col. Ricky L. Canatoy, Commanding Officer, of the army’s 58IB, said that Himalao’s murder gave credence to the reports that the communist rebels were engaged in murder and execution to perpetuate an ideology sans respect on human rights.

which deliver nicotine without burning tobacco. He said by eliminating combustion or the burning process, these innovative products provide smokers less harmful alternatives to smoking. Sweanor said the human body is simply not designed to inhale smoke. It is the tar from combustion, and not nicotine, that contains carcinogens and toxicants. “We see similar disease patterns in those who cook food over open fires with poor ventilation and in firefighters exposed long-term to smoke inhalation,” he said. He likened nicotine to caffeine, saying it is a psychoactive substance that is addictive and gives assorted benefits to many users. He, however, noted that “by themselves, neither have significant health risks when used at normal dosage levels. But if obtained through a toxic delivery system such as smoking, great injury can be caused.” Sweanor said that making NCAs available to countries such as the Philippines will help millions of smokers reduce their exposure to smoke and illnesses. Mounting evidence from scientific studies around the world confirm that NCAs are significantly less harmful than

SACLEO nets 199 suspects, seizes P 1.6M illegal drugs By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

CAMP LT. VICENTE G. ALAGAR, Cagayan de Oro City: Police rounded up 199 suspects for various crimes and seized illegal drugs with an estimated street value of P1,618,422.40 during simultaneous police operations in Northern Mindanao, the police said Sunday. PLt. Col. Michelle Olaivar, the police regional spokesperson, said that the suspects include the arrest of wanted persons on the traditional cigarettes. According to Public Health England and the Royal College of Physicians, e-cigarettes are at least 95-percent less harmful to humans than combustible tobacco. A February 2019 clinical trial by UK’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) found that ecigarette was twice as effective as nicotine replacement treatments such as patches and gum at helping smokers quit. NCAs offer a similar ritual and pleasure as cigarettes with less exposure to the dangerous toxins and carcinogens found in tobacco smoke. “We now can get rid of cigarette smoking much as many countries have got rid of various infectious diseases and transitioned consumers away from a broad range of other overly hazardous products. We can use science, technology and reason to draft regulations that can end cigarette smoking, and thus address the 20,000 daily deaths globally that are caused by that smoking. We can make public health history no less significant than the eradication of smallpox,” Sweanor said. Citing Japan’s experience, Sweanor said the it reduced cigarettes sales by more than 30% in just over three years following the introduction of HTPs. “Product substitution works and appears to work better than any other strategy we have used to date in reducing cigarette smoking. We have also seen this impact in Sweden, Norway, Iceland and other countries as well, and with a variety of low-risk non-combustible alternatives to cigarettes,” he said. He noted, however, that many governments can’t keep up with the advances in science and technology. “They often fail to understand the absolutely enormous differences in risk between different nicotine products and inadvertently protect the cigarette business by seeing low-risk alternatives as a threat rather than an opportunity,” he said. “The combined offering in terms of consumer needs and

regional, provincial and city level who were subject of court warrants. She said that 49 various types of loose firearms ( 48 assorted small armed, 1 Class A Light WeaponGrand Rifle) , several ammunition, eight explosives/ grenade were also seized during the operation. According to Olaivar, the police operatives also served 11 search warrants on suspected drug personalities resulting to the arrest of 18 suspects and rhe wants, and the information, availability and pricing of the low-risk alternatives should ensure that the safer choice is an easy choice,” he said. “Viable alternatives to cigarettes can reduce cigarette consumption dramatically. We can seize the opportunity technology now makes available to end the cigarette epidemic,” Sweanor said.

Dubbed as the Simultaneous Anti-Criminality Law Enforcement Operations (SACLEO), the one-day operation was launched end of May 2021 to apprehend and arrest suspected personalities involved in the possession, proliferation and trafficking of dangerous drugs and other form of criminalities.

Rolando Anduyan commented that without the support of the community and the local government units in the region, the police operation was a failure. NOTICE
