PRRD upheld PH sovereignty by withdrawing from ICC: Andanar

ISAMIS ORIENTAL: A total of 1,802 front liners health workers coming from the eight Misamis Oriental provincial hospitals here have already availed of the anti-COVID-19 vaccination, Provincial IATF Chief Jerie Calingasan said Wednesday. Calingasan said that the number represented 93 percent of the targeted number of 1,944 scheduled for the anti-COVID-19 vaccination, including 944 health workers from the private hospitals operating in the province. Of the 944 private health workers, 899 already got the jabs or a total of 95 percent, while a total of 903 front liners of the 1000 health workers of the health workers from the provincial hospitals, or 90.3 percent were already vaccinated. The total number of vaccinated health workers also includes the privately-owned hospitals representing a total

number of 899 front liners or 95 percent of the targeted 944 health workers scheduled for vaccination. Calingasan expressed the optimism that once the second batch of the Aztra Zeneca vaccines will arrive in Misamis Oriental next month, more could avail of vaccine in line with the provincial government’s plan to vaccinate the largest number of people in the province. Since the massive inoculation of the anti-Covid-19 vaccine early March, the provincial IATF has not received any plaints of side effects after receiving the dose.

Curfew, liquor ban will not be lifted yet in Davao

ACT OF GOODNESS. One single gesture of goodness means a lot for a lowly trisikad drivers plying the Abellanosa-Manuel Vega-Burgos streets in Cagayan de Oro City as they were surprisingly handed out with a gift pack yesterday containing few kilos of rice, canned goods and noodles from an unexpected philantropist, a woman they commonly call “Nanay” who owns a small store near their terminal. But for nanay Coleta Tolentino, sharing something for the less fortunate out of her small earnings especially at this time of the pandemic, was a joy that fills her heart as she celebrated her 86th birthday. Nanay Coleta said she chose the gift-giving activity rather than spend for lavish celebration for it is more gratifying. photo by rolando sudaria

DAVAO CITY – Curfew and liquor ban will not be lifted soon even after the city government of Davao eased the implementation of some coronavirus disease (COVID-19) quarantine protocols. Mayor Sara Duterte, during her live program over Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR 87.5) on Monday, said that further easing the quarantine protocols such as removing the ban on alcoholic beverages and 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew would encourage social gathering where the highly contagious disease could spread. “We will not [lift] liquor ban and The newly constructed baywalk in Barangay Baranayan, Palimbang in Sultan See CURFEW, page 11

This, as he welcomed the decision of the Supreme Court that junked petitions questioning the validity of the country’s withdrawal from the Rome Statute of the ICC for being “moot and academic.” “We welcome the just and fair ruling of the SuSee UPHELD, page 11

A L AY B A L AY CITY--“My income has now doubled after the two months’ receipt of DOLEX’s assistance. I am very happy that I can still provide to my family considering my advanced age and the difficulties of this pandemic,” Pepito Loranza, 63, said. The Depar tment of Labor and Employment (DOLE)-10 released vending and retailing packages as livelihood assistance to Loranza, a senior citizen from Malaybalay City, as income support amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. DOLE-10 Bukidnon Provincial Field Office (Buk PFO) Chief Raul L. Valmores said he personally turned-over to Loranza the brand-new bicycle with buy and sell products like rags, baskets and bottles of honey in the amount of P20,000.00 during the department’s 87th founding anniversary, December 8, 2020. “I am most thankful to DOLE-10 Buk PFO in their efforts of a fast and hassle-free processing of my livelihood grant. Likewise, I also appreciate its staff as my patron buyers of my products,” Loranza said. Prior to receiving his DOLE assistance, Loranza said he was already vending

My new and sturdy bicycle, given by DOLE-10 now allows me to market to outlying areas as far as Barangays Kalasungay and San Jose,” the entrepreneur shared. Further, with the addi-

He can purchase larger bulks of rags, baskets, brooms and other products to his wider clients even to government offices and eateries in the city. Valmores said the senior citizens are among the eligible beneficiaries of the Kabuhayan Program, a component of the DOLE

Integrated Livelihood and Emergency Employment Program (DILEEP), that aims to reduce poverty through the creation of enterprises that help augment income and generate jobs. “We in the department

WITH the new surge of Covid-19 cases, everyone is mandated to wear masks. That said, the President might be kidding in ordering the Interior Department and barangay officials to supply all citizens with free face masks. If this is sweet talk, then we are in for another round of rhetorics. Unlike the costly vaccines that come in trickles, masks these days are widely available and affordable, anytime, anywhere. What we dearly need now and very urgent at that is the availability of vaccines of any brand to all of us. Masks abound, but not vaccines. If masks are offered free, then by all means, vaccines must come free as well, and must be available on a massive scale with a sense of

urgency. And for people who refuse to wear masks amid the pandemic that has kneeled us down —and out, shame on them. Because the new Covid-19 variants, as claimed by health experts, continue on salivating us, wreaking havoc particularly in over-populated Mega Manila, where health protocols are openly defied particularly the wearing of masks in public places. And the number one violator is no other than the President himself who openly takes out his mask during meetings carried live by mainstream and social media. Defiant as it were, the President continue on wielding his usual tirades against all sorts of evils — the corrupt, drug lords, and his number one nemesis, the

Ruffy Magbanua

lady VP from Naga who keeps on stalking his shadow 24/7, setting aside the most pressing problem we worry about. Meantime, in the absence of that vaccine, there are three things we can do in order to get to tomorrow: wear a mask, social distance, wash our hands. These health protocols are so simple, so easy, and if anyone finds it hard to practice these basic things -- then by all means, you deserve this: shame on you. (ruffy44_ph2000@yahoo. com)

MINDFUL

Proudly a woman. Proudly a Filipina.

IN celebration of International Woman’s Month, I wish to acknowledge and highlight how Filipinas have continued to advance their roles and contributions to our society. Gone were the days when women of our country were expected to stay behind the shadow of their fathers and their husbands. Gone were the Maria Claras of the past who were then just expected to stay at home, do the chores, bear children and serve the man/men of the house. Today, Filipinas know what they want, are more involved, take the lead, speak out their minds, make decisions, and are listened to. They have shown that they can do a lot more aside from making a home. The pandemic that we are in now, is proving the vital roles that women play not only in their own families but also in their communities. First, women are leading the health response. Almost 70% of the health care workforce is women, from doctors to nurses to medical technologists down to medical aides. These women are at the forefront of the health crisis our country is facing. They bravely face the risks their jobs bring not only because it’s their duty but because they want to be a part of the solution and make a difference. At the same time, the pandemic highlighted the multi-tasking skills of women. While busy with their jobs, women are also in charge of much of the chores at the home front. They are doing their own work from home duties while tutoring and helping their children

with their online studies and cooking or doing laundry in between. Many even managed to do online selling for additional income. And still, find time to enjoy e-parties with friends after work or on weekends. Never underestimate her ability to do more than two things at a time. She can always manage to have her plates full. More children are saying that their spiritual and religious beliefs are influenced more by the women in their families. They consider either their mother or their grandma, or their aunt, or their eldest sister who is primarily responsible for molding and shaping their spirituality growing up. It’s the women of the house who would often lead the Bible studies, the daily rosary, the Sunday church visits, and the novenas. Women have taken upon themselves to assume this responsibility and opportunity to guide and grow their children spiritually. The women’s market continues to grow. The purchasing power and influence of women is very much recognized as seen on product advertisements and showroom displays. About 95% of Ads you will see on different media platform is directed to the female audience. While about 80% of stores in malls and shopping outlets cater to female shoppers. This is because women are usually the budget keepers and the ones making decisions on their household purchases. It is also because more women are becoming financially independent. More are earning their own money thus, are now empowered to

Jay Ledesma

decide what, when, where, and how to buy. They don’t have to get the approval or permission of someone else to buy themselves or their family members what they want and need. They have a big say in the consumption behaviors of Filipino families. They are driving the consumption sector of our country. More sales and serviceoriented sectors are getting more women into their workforce. As most of these sectors are high on person-to-person interactions, women are preferred for this role because they are usually kinder, more patient, and gentler. That’s why in general, you will notice that the most successful salespeople are women. Women tend to listen and understand more. It’s not seen as being weak but it’s a woman’s version of being strong. To be strong doesn’t mean you have to be physically strong like a man. We don’t have to be aggressive and mad to be considered strong. Women have the ability to be firm but stay calm and gentle. It is said that we are strongest when we are gentle. Heard about women being the real stronger sex? I am happy that compared to other countries, gender equality is much more felt in the Philippines. More women are occupying critical positions in the workplace, even taking on work and positions previously associated only with men. We have had two female Philippine Presidents See PROUDLY, page 11

With its hashtag #WomenMakeChange.” Last Monday, March 15, 2021 at exactly 7:00 o’clock in the morning teachers of Gusa Elementary School

gathered in the field for their launching activity on Women’s Month. All were in their type B uniform and ready to present their different “Tiktok” presentations since they are asked to prepare one. The program started with a Prayer, followed by the singing of Pambansang Awit led by Maam Roxanne Bangcas. Cagayan de Oro March Hymn was sung, conducted by Maam Evelyn Camarinta and Rehiyon Diyes by Maam Ana Decena. Then, all were energized/recharged by a Zumba(Power) dance led by Maam Rosita Ejersito. Zumba, sum up the part 1 of the launching on Women’s Month.

The part II program started with a message by the Elementary School Principal Maam Annabelle J. Lariba, PIII. The message was about Empowerment and Hope in facing tasks. Given all the uncertainties, responsibilities that women all carry, we (women) have to claim that everything

SOARING INTO NEW HEIGHTS with the All-New Isuzu D-MAX All-New Interior

A

FTER six years of research and 4 million kilometers of testing, the All-New Isuzu D-MAX has hit Philippine shores with a Big Bang! “We are very excited to introduce this model to the Philippine market—a market that has been particularly special for us since there

Handy USB Ports

are a lot of scenic routes and challenging terrains all over the country that a pick-up and 4x4 enthusiast would love to traverse, especially on the weekends. Because of that, we’ve made sure that the All-New D-MAX will have a wide range of choices to cater to every consumer’s needs, ” said Isuzu

Go anywhere, anytime with the tough new All-New Isuzu D-Max

Autonomous Emergency Braking

Philippines Corporation (IPC) President Hajime Koso during the March 4 digital launch on the company’s social media pages. Long famous for its outstanding durability and reliability, the AllNew Isuzu D-MAX has been designed “beyond the pick-up truck”. All-New from the ground up, the All-New Isuzu D-MAX crashes the barrier between trucks and passenger cars with its BOLD, EMOTIONAL and SMART design concept. The exterior styling utilizes the bold but emotional concept, giving the new D-MAX a muscular and aggressive stance, so unlike its more pedestrian looking forebears. That bold and smart styling is also instantly discernable in its new

All-New Seats

interior which stresses its sharp horizontal layers design theme, reflecting the successful merger of function and design via Isuzu’s universal design concept aimed at reducing NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) ultimately resulting in a quantum leap in ride comfort for the driver and his passengers. IMPROVED POWER PACK Truck purists will revel in the All-New Isuzu D-MAX new 4JJ3-TCX with a vastly improved Isuzu common rail system that churns out an adrenaline pumping190 PS of power and 450 newton meters (Nm) of torque. Its smaller brother RZ4E-TC engine has also been upgraded for faster acceleration and better overtaking performance with 150PS of maximum

Lane Departure Warning

power and 350 Nm of torque. PEDAL TO THE METAL Where the road ends, the All-New Isuzu D-MAX true grit comes to fore. Design and engineering innovations such as its one-piece aluminum tail shaft, 800mm water wading depth capability, newly designed steering wheel with tilt and telescopic adjustment, redesigned gear lever for better gear selection and control (for both MT and AT), Terrain Command Select Dial, and electronic differential lock—all work together in synergy to push the All-New D-MAX through virtually any type of terrain. Lest the vastly improved comfort and ride lull the driver to misgivings about where it can go, engineering

innovations such as the new front suspension geometry, chassis design featuring larger side rails and 8 cross members for torsional rigidity, new rear leaf spring design, ultra-high tensile steel reinforced cabin structure, and a semi mid-ship engine layout ensure the All-New D-Max gets you there, anytime, anywhere, and safely back again whatever the road or weather. AMENITIES To keep its driver and passenger relaxed even for ultra-long or rough rides, the All-New D-Max boasts of a 10.1 Infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and voice control. All these with full touch screen display of an improved navigation D-MAX/PAGE 11

and two female Philippine Vice-Presidents, including the incumbent VP Leny. We have more Filipinas in both Senate and Congress and in several local government units. We see more Filipina athletes making names and bringing pride to our country. Even private corporations are recognizing and giving importance to women’s empowerment. More Filipinas have climbed up the corporate ladder in recognition of their talents and contributions to the growth of their companies. Their voices are heard, their opinions mattered and their

decisions respected. Though much can still be desired about gender equality, at least we can say that we have taken big strides towards its realization. We love and respect the men in our lives. But let’s be mindful that the Filipina of today no longer allows a man or anyone for that matter to define who she is and who she can become. She knows what she wants and is determined to do what it takes to make it happen. She does not depend on fate, destiny, or man to make it happen for her. She is empowered. She is her own person.

PARTIES Petitioner is of legal age, married, Filipino, and a resident of Imelda, Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte; Respondent is of legal age, married, Filipino, with home address at Colombio, Sultan Kudarat; FACTS Mostly, the facts of this Petition are taken from the Psychological Case Analysis particularly on COURTSHIP & MARITAL HISTORY by Dr. Ana Bellusa M. Pellejo, Ph. D. Psychology, to whom Petitioner consulted to be evaluated. A copy of it is attached hereof as Annex “A”; Petitioner and respondent first got to know each other in August 2005 through mediated communication of the cell phone SMS or texting as referred by their common friends while the petitioner was working in Manila as a domestic helper; Respondent was a drop out college student from Sultan Kudarat. They had a long-distance cell phone mediated heterosexual relationship for two years without having seen each other personally; However, in July 2007, respondent asked petitioner to visit him in Sultan Kudarat since he had impregnated a girl from his hometown and the latter was pursuing him to be married to her. Moreover, the respondent’s mother pleaded to the petitioner that his son’s impregnating another girlfriend was not intended and he still wanted to marry her instead, as he really loved her; As such, the petitioner decided to travel to Sultan Kudarat to save the respondent from his predicament and after their first personal meeting in July 2007, they decided to cohabit in Manila so the respondent can escape from his pregnant other girlfriend; However, when the parties went to visit the petitioner’s parents in Sindangan from Sultan Kudarat, the petitioner’s parents did not

agree to their cohabitation proposal and insisted that they get a civil marriage instead; Consequently, the parties arranged and have their civil marriage before the honourable Mayor Bert C. Macias last September 28, 2007 of the Municipality of Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte, where the petitioner was only 23 and the respondent 25 years old at the time of their wedding. A copy of their Certificate of Marriage is attached hereof as Annex “B”; After their civil marriage, the parties went to Manila and the petitioner went back to her work as a domestic helper; Meanwhile, the respondent got employed in the Steel Asia as a factory worker. They stayed in a rented house in Bulacan in the years 2007-2009; However, sometime in September to December 2008, the petitioner caught the respondent as having an extramarital relationship with her paternal lady first cousin, named Melanie Ambawas who used to visit them in their rented conjugal house in Bulacan; During such first infidelity confrontation, the respondent squeezed the petitioner’s face; Sometime the February 2009, the petitioner got pregnant for the first time with their first child. But due to the firsthand experience of the respondent’s infidelity with her own first paternal cousin the two-months baby in her womb was miscarried in April 2009; Without adequately settling their marital conflicts, and in order to improve economically, the petitioner loaned from her domestic employer some amount to fund the respondent’s application for an OFW job in Saudi Arabia after gaining experience in the Steel Asia; Respondent left the Philippines to work with the AI Raji Company in Saudi Arabia in August of 2009 and worked there until the present. Until now, they are childless; On the other hand, the petitioner went home to her parent’s house in Sindangan, Z.N. to continue with her studies since the respondent promised to support her with the monthly remittance of P15k. As such, the petitioner continued her 3rd and 4th years of high school at the ALS in Sindangan, Z.N. and qualified to take a college degree in BS Information Technology at the St. Joseph Academy which she finished from 2013-2017; However, beginning 2010 and during the 10 years of their longdistance marriage, the parties had their marital trust gradually corroded social media indirectly informing her that her husband was into relationship with them; In one instance, one girl chatted her in FB messenger asking her, “Why is the picture of my boyfriend in your profile picture?” This and many other girls often confronted her that they are into relationship with the respondent which caused so much anxiety, depression, and emotional devastation on the part of the petitioner; When the petitioner would confront the evidences of the respondent’s womanizing each year when he comes home for a month’s vacation, the respondent merely remained silent and said nothing; Moreover, in 2017 when the petitioner graduated from her college degree, the respondent also stopped sending her any form of financial support forcing the petitioner to seek out any form of employment or income; After being adept in the use of computer technology with her BS IT degree, she sought to become a caregiver to an old retired man in Switzerland who financed her trip to and stay for three months as a tourist and caregiver of him there sometime in 2017; When she came home in 2018, the petitioner saw in the messenger of the FB account of the respondent some mutual love messages of another women to him. As such, in February 2018, the petitioner decided to separate for good as their relationship had already died and informed the respondent about her decision. Thus ended their mostly long-distance courtship of 2 years, and 11 years of long distance marriage from 2017 to 2018; Per findings in the Psychological Case Analysis, it is evident that both the petitioner and the respondent are psychologically incapacitated as evident by the petitioner’s Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder evident in the early adult stage of their lives; Such personality disorders were developed from childhood and became so ingrained in the personality of individuals concerned that these disorders have become PERMANENT, GRAVE and INCURABLE; With the above aforementioned diagnostic findings, it is accurately concluded that the marriage of the petitioner to the respondent was an invalid act afforded by the already formed Personality Disorders which were present before the marriage, which supports the psychological incapacity of the couple to contract marriage; Both of the parties were, from the very beginning, never able to assume or perform their moral and legal duties and obligations as husband and wife to each other due to their psychological incapacities, and that they were forced by circumstances to have an untimely marriage which existed now in paper only but never in reality; Moreover, the parties’ behavior during their period of co-habitation exhibits a lack and insufficient display of passion, compassion and commitment; It is now unbearable and painful on the part of the Petitioner to remain tied to Respondent who does not anymore observe mutual love, respect, and fidelity;

sto ckpi ling and cle aring; economic community projects like repair, maintenance and/or rehabilitation of farm-tomarket roads, bridges, post-har vest facilities, public markets and common s e r v i c e f a c i l it i e s such as production and display centers, fish ports; or agroforestry community projects, such as tree planting, seedling preparation, and reforestation. Under the new normal based on DOLE Department Order No. 219, Series of 2020 or the Guidelines on the implementation of TUPAD under the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act, additional work coverage are as follows:

provision of assistance to the LGUs thru delivery of essential goods and s e r v i c e s s u ch a s fo o d and non-food items like personal hygiene items, medicines, personal protective equipment to the frontliners and the general public; packing relief goods and other related tasks assigned by the LGU; and preparation, design, dissemination, posting of information and educational materials, especially in the rural areas. Also, work may be on transport services for setting up of mobile markets; and disinfection/ sanitation of community, or other public facilities. (DOLE-10)

22. There is no possibility of getting back the normal situation of petitioner’s conjugal relationship with the respondent considering that their marital union is getting worse as the days passed by; 23. Petitioner’s and Respondent’s actuations are all indicative of psychological Incapacity and constitute sufficient grounds for the declaration of nullity of their m marriage in accordance with Article 36 of the Family Code of the Philippines; PRAYER/RELIEF Wherefore, premises considered, it is more respectfully prayed of this Honorable Court that after hearing, judgment be rendered as follows: a. Declaring the psychological incapacity of the Petitioner and respondent to comply with the essential marital obligations and responsibilities of marriage at the time of the celebration of marriage even if such incapacity becomes manifest only after its celebration; b. Declaring the marriage of petitioner with respondent as null and void since the beginning; Petitioner further prays for other reliefs and remedies which this Honorable Court may deem just and equitable in the premises.

Andanar appeals to hospitals to admit indigent patients, introduce them to Malasakit Centers TUGUEGARAO CITY – Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar on Tuesday reminded healthcare workers in hospitals to show their utmost compassion in dealing with indigent patients in need of their immediate assistance. During his visit here, he urged them to admit patients and assist them in their medical expenses by introducing to them the mechanism of Malasakit Centers. Secretary Andanar was here to engage with the youth leaders and the media in an effort to inform and provide them updates

on the implementation of the National COVID-19 Vaccination Roadmap and other programs of the government. He also accompanied Senate Chair on Health and Demography Senator Christopher “Bong” Go and other Cabinet members for a series of distribution of assistance to indigent families in the provinces of Isabela and Cagayan, and visited Gov. Faustino N. Dy, Sr. Memorial Hospital (GFNDSMH) and the Cagayan Valley Medical Hospital. “Let us show utmost compassion to our fellow Filipinos, especially those who are sick and are seeking assistance to ease their

burden in medical expenses. Currently, there are 102 Malasakit Centers established across the country that can readily provide them with financial assistance to cover for their expenses,” Secretary Andanar said. “We are in the service of uplifting the lives of Filipinos wherever they may be. That is the main pillar that supports why your national government is right here present on the ground to bring the programs and projects closer to everyone,” he added. Senator Go reiterated the appeal to hospital executives not to refuse patients while reminding patients,

in the two hospitals. “Hindi naman po lalapit sa mga public hospitals at humihingi ng tulong kung may pambayad po ‘yan. So ‘yun lang po ang pakiusap ko sa ating mga medical directors, please lang po ‘wag niyo pong tanggihan at ‘wag niyo pong pabayaan

Internet Access Might Join Utilities with Lifeline Rates By ABY ABELLANA

THE application of lifeline rates that offer discounts to water and electricity consumers could be expanded to internet access in the future. As the bicameral conference committee on energy moved Tuesday to extend by 30 years the lifeline rate for electricity to 2051, Senator Imee Marcos said it was just as important to establish a lifeline rate for internet access which should be considered a “primary right.” “Filipinos need to cope not only with the Covid-19 pandemic but also with the many demands of the 21st century. The needs as well as the aspirations of the nation call for a lifeline rate for internet access,” Marcos asserted. “So much lip service has been paid to free internet in public places, but me ager budget ar y support, poor planning, and failed linkages with private telcos condemn us to scant internet access,” Marcos lamented, citing the slow implementation of Republic Act 10929, also known as the Free Internet in Public Places Act. Marcos has proposed

to set a “socialized pricing mechanism” through a broadband and data lifeline rate via Senate Bill 2102, amending the Public Telecommunications Policy Act of the Philippines. The lifeline rate for internet access will give household beneficiaries and marginalized endusers discounts based on consumption thresholds not lower than one gigabyte (1GB) per month, according to the Marcos bill. Household beneficiaries are to be determined by the guidelines of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), while marginalized end-users will be identified through criteria set by the National Telecommunications Com-

mission and certified by public telecommunications entities. “Between poor connectivity and growing poverty numbers, more and more Filipinos are excluded from the Information Age, limited as they are to occasional mobile promos like Free Facebook and other platform-based access,” Marcos explained. “Filipinos deserve inexpensive, reliable and comprehensive internet access,” Marcos added. The Philippines ranked 29th among 34 nations, in terms of internet access, according to Pew Research Center’s April 2020 survey. As for internet affordability, the country ranked 82nd out of 85 nations in the Digital Quality of Life Index 2020.

preme Court that dismissed petitions questioning the Philippine Government’s unilateral withdrawal from the International Criminal Court,” Andanar said in a press statement. Citing the SC ruling, Andanar said it was only right for President Rodrigo Duterte to leave the ICC for meddling into the country’s affairs. “As the chief architect of our country’s foreign policy and international engagements, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, well within his capacity, upheld our sovereignty by withdrawing from the ICC who insists on getting involved with our nation’s affairs, and hindering our collective progress in securing the safety of our country from societal ills,” he said. He stood pat on his statement that the Duterte administration continues to uphold human rights and rule of law while enforcing the crackdown on illegal drugs. “We assert that the government, under the leadership and through the strong political will of President

Duterte, continues to uphold and respect human rights and the rule of law while aiming to eradicate criminality,” he said. The fact that the country’s legal and judicial systems are ready to receive and rule complaints, he said, proves that the administration is able to address possible human rights violations. “Our functioning legal and judicial systems and our constant engagements with different independent and international organizations, are a testament that this government is committed to protecting and championing human rights,” he added. On May 16, 2018, then senators Antonio Trillanes IV and Paolo Benigno Aquino IV, as well as incumbent opposition Senators Leila de Lima, Risa Hontiveros, Francis Pangilinan, and Franklin Drilon questioned the ICC withdrawal before the SC, arguing that it cannot be done without the Senate’s concurrence. Another petition was filed on June 13, 2018 by the Philippine Coalition for the ICC, claiming the withdrawal was based on “capricious, whimsical, ridiculous, misleading or misled, incoherent and/ or patently false grounds, with no basis in fact, law or jurisprudence.” The SC on Tuesday dismissed the petitions filed against Duterte’s decision to pull out of ICC sans the Senate’s concurrence for being “moot and academic.” The Philippines ’ withdrawal from the ICC, already took effect on March 17, 2019, exactly a year after Duterte revoked the Rome Statute, a treaty that created the international court on Nov. 1, 2011. The country severed ties from the ICC after its special prosecutor Fatou Bensouda started a preliminary examination on the alleged human rights violations under the administration’s anti-drug war.

12 Feature SMC develops packaging to extend carabao’s milk’s shelf life by 6 mos, help farmers build better FOR ADS PLACEMENT CALL OR TEXT: 0917-712-1424 • 0947-893-5776 E-mail: mindanaodaily.ads@gmail.com

S

AN Miguel Corporation (SMC), through its packaging unit, has developed a packaging solution that will extend the life of carabao’s milk without the need for preservatives, improves the local product’s marketability and potentially jumpstarting growth of the carabao industry. SMC president and chief operating officer Ramon S. Ang made the announcement months after it first helped carabao farmer cooperatives mitigate financial losses at the height of pandemic restrictions last year, when it bought up their excess milk inventory. As a result, thousands of liters of fresh carabao milk were saved from being dumped and were instead donated to poor communities. Ang revealed that for the past few months, SMC’s San Miguel Packaging Group had been working to help carabao farmers find a solution on how to

preserve the freshness of their product. Recently, the company was able to finalize a packaging solution using “retort” technology. The process allows fresh carabao milk to be sterilized in aluminum cans without the need for preservatives. The process extends carabao milk’s shelf life for up to six months. “This will be a major boost for carabao farmers and the carabao industry in general. The main limitation— perishability--that kept farmers from maximizing their income and growing their business, has been solved. Now, their products can be sold to more consumers in more markets,” Ang said. “Carabao milk is very nutritious so there is a big market for it. We see this as potentially jumpstarting growth of the carabao industry. We look forward to continue helping them in any way we can to further grow their industry,” he added.

A product development specialist works with carabao milk at San Miguel Yamamura Packaging Corp.’s facility in San Fernando, Pampanga. The packaging unit of San Miguel Corporation recently completed development of a packaging solution that extends the shelf life of carabao’s milk for up to six months, without the use of preservatives. According to SMC president Ramon S. Ang, this will allow carabao farmers to market and distribute their products to more consumers, potentially boosting the local carabao industry.

Ang said that the company invested in new equipment at its beverage filling facility in San Fernando, Pampanga, to equip it for the new retort process. The process can also be used for a variety of beverage products, including teas, coffee, soya, and other milk-based products.

While utilizing the retort process is new to the company, the aluminum cans it has been producing have long been capable of being utilized for retort. Ang said the company is open to farmers, farmercooperatives, and small producers of similar products, who may want to learn more about the

process, and engage San Miguel’s packaging unit as a toller or packaging provider, to grow their business. “We are more than eager to work with, and help small producers. At the end of the day, this technology was developed with our farmers and entrepreneurs in mind, to help them through

this critical period, as the economy is still not what it was. By providing them a way to distribute their products to more customers, we’re hoping to help them stay in business, grow their industry, and support food security for our country as we deal with the pandemic,” Ang said.
