Press freedom very much alive in the country - Andanar

By RUTH ABBEY GITA-CARLOS, PNA

ANILA — Media outlets in the Philippines currently enjoy press freedom under the watch of President Rodrigo Duterte, Presidential Communications Operations Office

(PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar said Tuesday. During a media engagement at the United Nations (UN) in Geneva, Switzerland, Andanar stressed that press freedom is “very much alive” since Duterte became

President in 2016. Andanar noted that the Duterte government has created an “enabling media environment” and a “safe space for journalists.” “The Philippines enjoys a long-standing history of press freedom. This should attest that press freedom

is very much alive in the Philippines,” he said. His statement came as critics slammed the current administration’s supposed attempts to curtail press freedom. Some have claimed that the alleged effort to block See FREEDOM, page 11

GENERAL SANTOS CITY – Health personnel in South Cotabato province are planning to acquire a mobile x-ray van to augment its intensified surveillance activities against tuberculosis (TB). Dr. Rogelio Aturdido Jr., head of the Integrated Provincial Health Office (IPHO), said they are set to submit a proposal to the Provincial Development Council’s social development committee for the purchase of the mobile facility. He said the move aims to improve the province’s detection rate for TB and address its increasing cases.

Last month, the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) deployed a mobile x-ray van in a joint anti-TB campaign in parts of the province. “We want to sustain the initiative we started with PBSP by deploying our own mobile x-ray van,” Aturdido said in a statement. He said at least two batches of residents province-wide were able to avail of the x-ray services provided by PBSP, which has been supporting the anti-TB campaign in the area. The recipients included inmates of the South Co- Officials in a ribbon cutting during the launch of the PUV Modernization Program for Misamis Oriental as dozens of modtabato Rehabilitation and ernized PUVs will operate within the province.

2 DA-PhilRice distributes 1,400 bags certified inbred seeds in SND Sat-Sun, March 7-8, 2020

U LTA N N A G A DIMAPORO, Lanao del Norte -- To mark the first year anniversary of the Rice Tariffication Law or RA 11203, around 650 rice farmers received 1,400 certified inbred seeds under the Rice C ompetitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) following the liberalization of the rice industry in the country. Through the Department of Agriculture-Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), farmers of said town benefitted the certified inbred rice seeds, which will be planted on its 700 hectare-irrigated rice area. DA- R e g i o n a l F i e l d Office 10 OIC-Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado has been emphasizing that said program is an intervention to help farmers increase yield and reduce cost amidst the implementation of the Rice Tariffication Law. Qualified farmers were liste d in t he Reg ist r y System for Basic Sectors in Agriculture (RSBSA), where each received a maximum of four bags at 20 kilograms per bag,

depending on farm size, ranging from 0.5 to 2 hectares. In the said town, the NSIC Rc 222 rice variety was distributed which has an average yield of 6.1 tons and a maximum of 10 tons per hectare, according to DA-PhilRice. Aside from being a high yielding variety, it is resistant to pest and diseases and adapted to multi-stress. It has heavier grains than other rice varieties and performing well in different rice environments such as rainfed, submerged and saline. Sultan Naga Dimaparo is the 4th rice producing municipality of Lanao del Norte with 2,000 hectares of lowland rice area. DA-PhilRice is set to distribute certified inbred rice seeds in the said town for t he 1 , 1 0 0 r ai n fe d farmer-beneficiaries by April, this year. The law provides financial assistance for rice farmers to be sourced from the tariff collection of the Php10-billion RCEF. Around Php3-billion has been allocated for distribution of inbred seeds thru DA-PhilRice. (DA10/ PIA10)

Feature 3 Media Wise wins Gold and Platinum at 55th Anvil Awards FOR ADS PLACEMENT CALL OR TEXT: 0917-712-1424 • 0947-893-5776

mindanaodaily.ads@gmail.com

EDIA Wise Communications / Muse Books raced out into 2020 with a rare repeat of last year’s trophy haul with a gold and a platinum at the 55thAnvil Awards held at the historic Manila Hotel on February 28, 2020. The gold and platinum Anvils were for the coffee-table book The Manila Jockey Club: The Front Runner that Media Wise produced for the Manila Jockey Club, Inc. for its 150th anniversary. The Platinum Anvil, the rarest and most coveted of the Anvils, is given only to the cream of the year’s crop of Gold Anvil awardees. Normally, just one or two are given by the awards body per year out of hundreds of entries. Media Wise’s platinum

last year was for the awardwinning coffee-table-book On the March: The Jesuits in the Philippines Since the Restoration. The Front Runner chronicles the evolution of horse racing in the Philippines, as embodied in the 150-year history of the Manila Jockey Club. It celebrates a century and a half of local horse-racing history, nostalgia, and excitement. The Front Runner captures in insightful text and beautiful images MJC’s run through Philippine history from being the favored pastime sport of the social elite more than 150 years ago to being the enduring, thrill-a-second populist sport that it is today. Within its 300 pages, the book takes the reader through the history of horse racing in

the Philippines, through two wars—the Philippine Revolution and World War II—and through the historic transfer of the hippodrome from San Lazaro, Manila to the modern race tracks of the newly built San Lazaro Leisure Park in Carmona, Cavite. The Anvil Awards are given annually by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines to the best public-relations programs and individual practitioners of the year. Media Wise’s The Front Runner bagged the Platinum Anvil in the PR Tools Publications category. Although a boutique publication house, Media Wise has won many awards in PR and publications from various prestigious award-giving bodies locally and abroad.

Manila Jockey Club president Alfonso Reyno III and Media Wise president Ramoncito Ocampo Cruz, together with their respective teams, received the gold and platinum trophies at this year’s Anvil awarding ceremonies. “No such chronicle of horseracing history has been produced before,” noted Attorney Reyno III. “The book captures the essence of how horse racing was born and kept alive in the Philippines over the course of 150 years, and how MJC played a central role in all that.” The MJC book-project team led by MJC Director, Corporate Counsel & General Counsel,

Atty. Ferdinand. A Domingo, MJC COO and VP for resource administration Attorney Peter G. Zagala, MJC VP for marketing Eduardo Ramirez de Arellano and MJC VP for MIS Carlos S. Tan. Ocampo Cruz, the CEO and executive/creative director of Media Wise Communications, a many-time winner of the prestigious Anvil and Quill publication awards, said that producing The Front Runner showed how MJC “has evolved over time, and how it continues to innovate and gallop toward a rosier future through bold business strategies and strategic partnerships.”

Three Decades of Advancing Social Justice and Inclusive Growth On March 10,2020, the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) marks the 30th year of its existence since it was organized on March 10,1990 by virtue of RA 6939, an Act creating an office based on the constitutional provision establishing and mandating an office “that shall promote the viability of cooperatives as instruments of social justice, equity and economic development. Celebrating with CDA are the 18,700 active cooperatives nationwide with some 11 million members coming from all “walks of life” especially those in the margins to empower and put them in the mainstream of development processes. They have awakened and they will not allow any more poverty to reign in this bountiful and beautiful country under the present dispensation that is now empowering the poor and the vulnerable. Three decades of scaling the heights have given birth to transformative cooperatives for people, planet, prosperity and peace, debunking a flawed development paradigm that allows the privileged few to use democracy to serve special interest groups at the

expense of the people and the environment. They are vehemently condemning an elitist system that uses power, like vultures, feeding on the flesh of the poor, the downtrodden and the oppressed in a highly skewed societal order that our beloved President is rectifying. Here is an office, standing firm to serve and exemplifying to the highest degree the constitutional provision that “a public office is a public trust . . . serving the people with utmost responsibility, integrity, loyalty and efficiency, act with patriotism and justice and lead modest lives.” CDA is now front-lining the President’s Ambisyon Natin 2040 to alleviate poverty by empowering the poor and uprooting the causes of armed struggle through cooperativism. Thru the intensified efforts of CDA, cooperativism has come of age and is now the call of the times to be the countervailing force against violent extremism and against ecological turbulence brought about by climate change. Exemplifying that truism is the on-going organization of some ten thousands (10,000) combatants of the

MILF North Western Mindanao Front in Camp Bilal, Kora-Kora, Munai, Lanao del Norte led by Kumander Bravo. In two weeks, the former MILF warriors under Kumander Bravo’s 5 division commanders and hundreds of front commanders have recently been registered into some 150 cooperatives, shouting Allahu-Akbar, this time not anymore through armed struggle but through cooperativism. After organizing the 10,000 former MILF combatants into cooperatives, the CDA in coordination with the UCPB-CIIF Finance & Development Corporation under President Rehan Balt Lao plan to establish “Coconut Malasakit Center” in Munai, Lanao del Norte as the land is oozing with coconut trees to go into value-chain approach. While the coconut industry is a billion dollar industry, coconut farmers like the former MILF combatants are the poorest because they are just selling their products raw. This time, the Coconut Center will be the liberating force against poverty through value chain approach to generate more income and jobs. What was even more

Orlan R. Ravanera

amazing was that one miraculous transformation has spawned more trail-blazing turn around. What came next was the appearance of the North Eastern Mindanao Front in Lanao del Sur under the command of Sultan Abdul Marayon who is half Higaonon and half Maranao whose 1,400 combatants have come together to form themselves into cooperatives that are so passionate in protecting the environment and in improving the quality of life of the Indigenous People. This amazing unfolding of events for peace is also happening in Lingig, Surigao del Sur where some 1,000 Higaonons with some 288 NPA surrenderees have formed themselves into the “Cabungsoan-Manobo-Cimulawnon Tribal Agri-Cooperative.” Also, in Sibagat, Agusan Sur, the head of the 10,000 Manobo Tribe headed by Chieftain, Arnold Acebedo known as Datu Subang who was a former commander of the NPA who surrendered are now being formed into cooperatives.

Speaking Out

The deaf don’t have to be mute

Last Wednesday, my daughter Frannie and I watched a stage musical adaptation of “The Lion King” at the Carlos P. Romulo auditorium at the RCBC Plaza. The musical ran for more than three hours but we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. What truly amazed us was that all the student participants – coming from pre-school to Grade 12 – are deaf. By ordinary norms, none of the stage players should have been able to sing and deliver their lines. But deliver they did. And they should not have been able to dance in sync to the beat which they could not hear. But they did. This year’s presentation is a continuation of an annual recital program initiated by the Philippine Institute for the Deaf (PID) where the students are encouraged to participate, as part of their special curriculum, to showcase their speaking skills progress. Headed by Executive Director Julie G. Esguerra, the PID is the first oral school for the deaf recognized by the Department of Education. AT PID, the emphasis is learning to speak and learning to lip read as preparation for mainstream school.

“Yes, these children are deaf, but they don’t have to be mute,” Ms. Esguerra said. “Whenever a deaf child comes to us, we’re challenged, because he shouldn’t be mute. He has a voice, and all we need is…. to look for that voice….. and listen!” At the Philippine Institute for the Deaf, a deaf child enrollee first undergoes hearing and aptitude evaluation. Then there is the regular 3 times a week one-on-one speech therapy. This is supplemented by the K-12 curricular programs and activities designed to encourage the students to express themselves such as basic computer skills, home economics, P.E. and sports, dance and theater arts, painting, gardening, crafts, cooking and baking. PID believes in a holistic approach so it also conducts workshops for parents, brothers, sisters, yayas and neighbor peers so everyone will know how to teach and motivate the deaf child even at home and in their social activities. “With hard work and full cooperation from the communities, these children leave PID ready to enter regular schools. This is probably what we could call our contribution to the

country,” Ms. Esguerra said. PID commenced operations in 1986 and, in 1988, was placed under the umbrella of a non-stock, nonprofit organization named Sergia Esguerra Memorial Foundation. The foundation was named to honor the memory of Ms. Esguerra’s mother who pioneered in the oral method of teaching in the Philippines. In 1992, former President Fidel V. Ramos provided PID with a two-storey school building located at the AFP-PSG Compound beside Nagtahan Bridge near Malacañan via a 25year lease at P1/year. The compound is now a fenced secured campus furnished with 16 classrooms, 5 speech one-on-one cubicles, an occupational room, a library and seminar room, a home economics room, a science laboratory, a computer laboratory, a technicalvocational room, a guidance area, a multi-purpose gym with stage, and a small campus for sports activities. PAGCOR recently approved a sizeable grant for the purchase of computers for the use of the students. PID is home to a hundred deaf students, and other special learners and their special education teachers. Most of the stu-

Ignacio Bunye

dents belong to very poor families and depend very much on generous sponsors to be able to stay in school. Ms. Esguerra, who has been described by associates as a “miracle worker”, can look back with justifiable pride at how PID has transformed lives. Ramizza Reyeg suffered bullying by her former classmates. Some of her former teachers were less-thanpatient and even openly expressed their frustration at her communication skills and slow pace. But later, in a much different nurturing environment, Ramizza was able to catch up. She eventually finished regular elementary and high school. Recently, she completed a 2-year Associate Degree in Computer Secretarial at St. Jude Institute of Technology. She became a teacher aide in PID but is now on leave to pursue a degree in Special Education. Josh Raymundo, the first and only deaf student accepted at the University of Santo Tomas, finished B.S. Library Science. ImSee DEAF, page 11

Andanar appeals for sobriety as travelers from PH have Covid-19 By RUTH ABBEY GITA-CARLOS

MANILA – Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar on Friday urged the public to remain “calm and sensible,” despite reports that two foreigners who tested positive for 2019 coronavirus disease (Covid-19) have had previous travel to the Philippines. Andanar issued the statement after two people from Taiwan and Australia who traveled to the Philippines have acquired Covid-19 after returning to their respective homes. “We request the general public to remain calm and sensible, and to not resort to any rash conclusion, that could lead to unfounded widespread panic, regarding the new recorded cases of 2019-novel coronavirus (Covid-19) in Australia and Taiwan, with both patients having recently traveled to the Philippines,” he said. In a press conference, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III confirmed that a 38-year-old Taiwanese man who visited the Philippines from February 28 to March 3 developed abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, sore throat, fever, and malaise. Duque said the Taiwanese national tested positive for Covid-19 on March 5, a day after his consultation at an outpatient clinic in Taiwan.

Meanwhile, an Australian woman who left the Philippines on March 2 after attending a wedding in Manila and visiting Pangasinan was confirmed to have been infected with Covid-19 by the New South Wales Government on March 3, Duque said. Andanar ensured that the government will continue its campaigns and undertakings against Covid-19. He guaranteed that there is an intensified information drive to contain the spread of the virus. PCOO Secretary Martin Andanar. (File photo) He added that the health facilities in the country are ready to address positive cases of Covid-19. “These actions are part of our commitment to ensure the health and safety of our citizens and that the Philippines is doing its part in the worldwide effort to fight this viral outbreak,” Andanar said. Andanar also enjoined everyone to continue to “cooperate, heed, and observe” all precautionary measures imposed by the Department of Health, and other advisories issued by other concerned government agencies. “Preventing the spread of this health concern is something that cannot be done independently, but one that must be addressed collectively,” he said.

Apart from the two foreigners, Duque said a 44-year-old Japanese male who traveled to the Philippines from February 21 to 28 and flew back to Japan on March 4 also tested positive for Covid-19.

He said at least two batches of residents province-wide were able to avail of the x-ray services provided by PBSP, which has been supporting the anti-TB campaign in the area. The recipients included inmates of the South Cotabato Rehabilitation and Detention Center or provincial jail in Koronadal City. The latest figures on TB cases in the province were not immediately available but the IPHO said it detected nearly 600 new cases in the surveillance activities with PBSP. Aturdido said at least 23 percent or 305 of the first batch of 1,329 residents who availed of the x-ray services were found positive of TB while 19 percent or 294 of the 1,550 tested in the second batch was also found infected. The official said it shows

that there are still more possible cases of TB in the province that have not yet been detected. “We’re not the only area affected by this problem. The prevalence of TB cases throughout the country has increased according to the DOH (Department of Health),” he said. Aturdido said the province’s treatment success rate for TB is currently at 95 percent but the case detection rate was only 56 percent. He said the deployment of a mobile x-ray van will improve their case detection and ensure the immediate treatment of positive cases. He said they are still determining the cost of the mobile facility, which will include a sputum testing laboratory. He added they are also processing the requirements for its operations, especially the medicines and manpower complement. (MindaNews)

Learning management system By EUNEZEL T. CANETE Teacher III Kapatagan East Central School Kapatagan East District Poblacion, Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte

A learning management system is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of educational courses or learning and development programs. The learning management system concept emerged directly in the late 1990s. Learning management systems were designed to identify training and learning gaps, utilizing analytical data and reporting. Learning management systems are focused on online learning delivery but support a range of uses, acting as a platform for online content including courses

both asynchronous-based and synchronous-based. A learning management system delivers and manages all types of content including video, courses and documents featuring rubrics, teacher- and instructor-facilitated learning, a discussion board and often the use of a syllabus. Most modern learning management systems are web-based. There are a variety of integration strategies for embedding content. Through learning management systems, teachers may create and integrate course materials, articulate learning goals,

align content and assessments, track studying progress and create customized tests for students. Learning management systems allow the communication of learning objectives and organized learning timelines. The advantage of a learning management system is that it delivers learning content and tools straight to learners and it can also reach marginalized groups through special settings. Such systems have builtin customizable features including assessment and tracking. Tus, learners can see in real time their progress and instructors can monitor and communicate the effectiveness of learning. One of the most important features of a learning management system is its ability

to streamline communication between learners and instructors. Such systems, besides facilitating online learning, tracking learning progress, providing digital learning tools and sometimes selling content may be used to provide different communication features. T he l e ar n i ng man agement system may be used to create professional structured course content. The teacher can add text, images, tables, links and text formatting, interactive tests, slideshows, etc. Moreover, one can create different types of users such as teacher, student, parent, visitor and editor, each with different permissions. It helps control which content does a student can access and track studying progress.

when ambushed. His son who was seated at the back was slightly injured. He was negotiating a narrow road on Awar Street in Marawi City when the gunmen opened fire using .45-caliber pistols. “Ditucalan was off duty when he was waylaid,” said Brig. Gen. Marni Marcos, PRO-BARMM director. Marcos said Marawi police investigators are still trying to establish the identity of the gunmen as of posting time. (PNA)

VIRTUAL physical education, a concept that as strange as it may sound, is helped along by availability of wearable fitness trackers. For students whose tests and textbooks have migrated to scree, technology as gym equipment may been only a matter of time. While online physical education have been only a matter of time. While online physical education class have been around for well over a decade often as part of virtual on online schools, the technology has made possible a new level of accountability, its user say. In m o r e a d v a n c e schools elsewhere, they’re asking kids to wear this while they do an activity

of their choice and they can change the activity as they desire as long as it’s something that they understand is probably going to get their heart rate up. Though a physical education instructor is’nt shouting from the sidelines, teachers do guide assignments by setting goals such as fat burn, cardio or peal relying on the technology to be their eyes and ears. Students are also required to sign in for a weekly 60-minute to 90-minute classroom session with the teacher. Teenagers who play soccer, swing or dance all year may satisfy the workout requirements without doing anything extra.

around from violence to peace. Take note that there was this call before to rise up in arms saying that they have some 60,000 combatants with high powered guns ready for war. The cooperatives have countered that they have some 11 million members ready for peace because peace can only be had not through the fire power of guns but by the strength of the human spirit in harmony and cooperation, collectively and compassionately advancing social justice, equity and economic development. Who would believe that meager as its budget is, the CDA together with its 16 regional offices nationwide are front-lining the essence of service in the war torn barangays. The CDA through its extension offices have provided assistance to 1,592 former rebels in the different provinces all over the country. They have been providing direct assistance through the cooperatives who are advancing the “Koop Kapatid Program” to help advance peace and development to uproot the causes of rebellion. These compassionate cooperatives are providing livelihood to the poor and downtrodden, food and medicine to the sick and even putting-up training centers, to uplift the quality of life in the communities through capability building. The PLDT Employees Credit Cooperative (PECCI), for example, is now building a wonderful

Training Center in Tabac, Talakag, Bukidnon for the Higaonon, Manobo and Talaandig Tribes. Increasing the IPs’ skills and capacities will empower them to reforest and transform the hundreds of thousands of hectares in Mt. KitangladKalatungan Range, their ancestral domain which had been logged before by 6 logging companies for six decades and now are standing bare and denuded which the IPs, when capacitated, will transform into coffee, garlic and bamboo plantations. This time, their ancestral domain will not be for the control and benefit of the rich and powerful corporations that have already converted some 200,000 hectares of choicest of lands in Mindanao into valuevalue crop plantations but by the Lumads themselves. The same compassion has been shown by the Most Holy Rosary MPC to the Wounded Soldiers Agri Cooperative whose members have been impaired by war in Mindanao. They are now being provided with a training center to become productive as no greater love there is than these soldiers willing to die so that other may live. “Noon po noong ako ay may mata pa, hindi ako nakakakita at ngayon po na ako ay nabulag na, nakita ko na ang panglaban pala sa mga rebelde ay hindi baril o bomba ko hindi kooperatiba.” Such was the statement of 1st Lieutinant Jerome Jacuba who was totally blind because of war in Mindanao who is now the Chairman of the Wounded Soldiers’ Cooperative. After 3 decades, the cooperatives have indeed scaled the heights as the countervailing force against poverty and advancing social transformation under the amazing leadership of the present dispensation. His Excellency’s priority area on transparency, good governance, anti-corruption and accountability jibe well with those of the cooperatives’ fundamental principles and values which the CDA and the cooperative movement are advancing. It has been said that for those who have dreamt, advocated, sacrificed and even died for it, social change has been so elusive all these years despite 14 years of martial law and two people powered revolutions. The systems and structures that are breeding poverty are still as formidable as ever. BUT

Sat-Sun, March 7-8, 2020 NOT ANYMORE UNDER THE PRESENT DISPENSATION which has strengthened the CDA under to new charter RA 11364 which the President has signed into law on August 8, 2019. With the Reorganization and Strengthening of CDA, it will transform the cooperative movement, in whose name and for whose cause CDA exists, into a formidable development force for inclusive development and social transformation. As the theme of the 30th year celebration declares: “CDA - IKA-TATLONG DEKADA: KATUWANG SA PAGBABAGO PARA SA KAUNLARAN AT KAPAYAPAAN!” Indeed, social transformation has finally come as trail-blazed by some 18,700 Transformative Cooperatives for People, Planet, Prosperity and Peace.

the seed distribution. Sultan Naga Dimaparo is the 4th rice producing municipality of Lanao del Norte with 2,000 hectare lowland rice area. DA-PhilRice is set to distribute certified inbred rice seeds of the said town for the 1,100 rainfed farmer beneficiaries by April of this year. The law provides for financial assistance for rice farmers to be sourced from the tariff collection of the P10 billion RCEF. Around P5 billion has been allocated for distribution of inbred seeds thru DAPhilRice.#(ATCabig)

Freedom... from page 1

the renewal of local broadcast firm ABS-CBN’s legislative franchise, which expires on March 30, is clearly an issue of press freedom. Andanar said the narratives against Duterte and his administration are “written out of context, some without basis, and others, outright lies.” “There are a lot of stories criticizing the government of President Rodrigo Duterte, including issues regarding media information… It is our job to challenge and to clarify these inaccurate stories, and to simply tell the truth,” he said. Andanar denied that private media companies are under attack. He said the existence of

baseless and false reports to discredit Duterte merely proves that Philippine media can freely exercise the freedom of the press. “The fact that such articles, reports, and accounts exist, indicates that there is a free press in the Philippines — no censorship, no persecution,” Andanar said. There are around 2,501 private media outlets and 34 state media outlets, as of 2018, according to the data cited by Andanar. Locsin to Andanar: Great job in Geneva! Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. took to Twitter to commend Andanar on his successful mission abroad. He said Andanar did a “great job” when he told the world that government protects and upholds human rights including press freedom. “Great job in Geneva, Martin, showing that press freedom is alive and well and boisterous in the Philippines; the savage attacks on you for saying it prove your case,” Locsin said. Andanar earlier traveled to France, Belgium and other European states to denounce the alleged falsehoods reported about the country’s human rights situation. He said the UN council was receptive to the country’s call for prudence in its actions towards nations like the Philippines. Protection of media rights Andanar assured the Duterte administration is exhausting all efforts to protect the rights of the media. He said the government sought the passage of the proposed Media Workers’ Welfare Act that will give media workers equal protection, security, and benefits. “At present, the Duterte administration is now pushing for the passage of the (proposed) Media Workers’ Welfare Act in Congress, a bill which seeks to address the vulnerabilities of the media by uplifting their economic welfare, benefits, and skills, thereby creating an environment that is conducive to an empowered, independent and free media,” Andanar said. House Bill (HB) 2746 or the Proposed Media Workers’ Welfare Act filed in July 2019 seeks the granting of mandatory additional insurance benefits by the Social Security System and the Government Service Insurance System, including death and disability

benefits, and reimbursement of medical expenses. HB 2746 also creates a Commission on Press Freedom and Media Security that will serve as media workers’ safeguard from all forms of attacks and as a development center for journalism. To date, cases of media killings and reports of threats against journalists are being addressed by the Presidential Task Force on Media Security, which was created through Administrative Order 1 inked in 2016.

tion rating also matched the record-high “excellent” +73 earned by the current administration in June 2019, SWS noted. The six-point rise in the national government’s over-all net satisfaction was due to increases in Balance Luzon (“excellent” +72 from “very good” +63), Visayas (“excellent” +80 from “excellent” +70), Mindanao (“excellent” +72 from “excellent” +70), and Metro Manila (“excellent” +72 from “excellent” +70). The net satisfaction with the government also rose by one grade from “very good” to “excellent” in rural (+74 from +67) and urban (+73 from +67) areas, as well as among Classes D (+76 from +66) and E (+74 to +68). It, however, fell from “excellent” to “very good” in Class E (+68 from +78). The same survey revealed that the Duterte administration registered a “very good” score on helping the poor (+64), fighting terrorism (+61), providing information needed by the citizens to assess the government (+58), having clear policies (+56), developing a healthy economy (+53), reconciling with Muslim rebels (+51), and protecting press free-

dom (+50). The government posted a “very good” rating on fighting crimes (+49), reconciling with communist rebels (+48), foreign relations (+47), acting according to people’s wants (+45), defending Philippine sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea (+32), and eradicating graft and corruption (+31). It obtained a “moderate” score on ensuring that no family will ever be hungry (+29), recovering the supposed hidden wealth of late president Ferdinand Marcos’ family and cronies (+25), and fighting inflation (+12). Around 1,200 adult Filipinos were interviewed by SWS using sampling error margins of ±3 percentage points for national percentages, and ±6 percentage points each for Metro Manila, Balance Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

BARMM residents now online with Smart LTE

ESIDENTS of Mamasapano in Maguindanao and other towns in Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi now have access to high-speed LTE connectivity as PLDT wireless subsidiary Smart Communications, Inc. ramps up its network rollout across the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). Most of the towns covered are 4th and 5th class municipalities from Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao. This also includes the Sulu’s capital Jolo, Tawi-Tawi’s capital Bongao, Maguindanao’s capital Shariff Aguak, Lantawan in Basilan, Upi, Pagagawan in Maguindanao and Marantao, Bacolod Grande, Malabang, Ramain and Datu Piang in Lanao del Sur. “We are in the age of globalization, and globalization will be meaningless without communication,” said Minister Mohagher Iqbal of BARMM’s Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education. “The world becomes smaller and smaller because of communication. And I think Smart is playing a good part in that effort.”

For BARMM BARMM Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Agrarian Reform Mohammad S. Yacob, improved communication links are vital, especially for boosting agriculture in the region. “One of the Bangsamoro Regional Government’s initial challenges is communication, especially in the island provinces,” said Yacob. “Connectivity is important, particularly for our Ministry, since we have to monitor our farmers.” Yacob noted that without connectivity, their farmers cannot send in their reports or access the Internet. “Their performance is very low. What we need is to be able to communicate directly with them, and with networks in place, we can help our farmers in island provinces,” he added. In the case of Mamasapano, Mayor Akmad Ampatuan Jr. highlighted the importance of connectivity for the younger generation. "Smart's fast internet connection opens up Mamasapano to the rest of the world. It is great help to the community, especially to the students in the area," he said. Connected Mindanao Aside from BARMM, Smart

has also accelerated its network rollout across the rest of Mindanao, particularly in Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Bukidnon, Camiguin, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental, Misamis Oriental, Compostela Valley, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Occidental, Davao Oriental, Cotabato, Sarangani, South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, and Surigao del Sur. “This highlights PLDT-

Smart’s commitment to continuously expand our mobile broadband coverage in order to provide the best internet experience to our customers, wherever they may be in the country,” said PLDT-Smart senior vice president for Network Planning and Engineering Mario G. Tamayo. “By providing connectivity to our countrymen in BARMM, we are not only giving them better avenues to keep in touch with their families and loved ones, or access to social media,

video streaming and online games. We are also stimulating their local economy, empowering entrepreneurs and businesses, and helping government deliver their services better,” Tamayo added. As of the third quarter 2019, Smart has increased the number of LTE base stations by 34% compared to end-2018 and deploying these in more areas of the country. Underpinning Smart’s network deployment is the continued expansion of PLDT’s fiber infrastructure,

which grew by 26% versus end-2018 to more than 307,000 kilometers nationwide. This unmatched fiber infrastructure is a critical advantage for Smart. The sustained improvement of the PLDT-Smart network has been supported by a stepped-up capital expenditures program that includes investments in network and IT systems, including investments in increased LTE coverage and capacity, expanded fiber transport and new international cable networks.
