Davao City to implement bike lanes By ANTONIO L. COLINA IV, MindaNews

A usual scene in Davao CIty’s major streets these days (photo taken Tuesday, 26 May 2020) as the number of bikers rise after Davao City was placed under general community quarantine to help curb the spread of COVID-19. mindanews photo

DAVAO CITY – The Davao City Transport and Traffic Management Office (CTTMO) is set to identify and inspect more streets for the drafting of a bicycle route plan in preparation for the establishment of bicycle lanes in Davao City as mandated by an ordinance passed a decade ago. Chinkie P. Golle, executive director of the Interface Development Interventions (IDIS), said this is a major development in the 10-year battle of environmentalists and cycling advocates here to implement Ordinance No. 0409-10 or the Bicycle Ordinance. In an interview, Golle said Mayor Sara Duterte has already instructed CTTMO head Di-

Authored by late Councilor Leonardo Avila, one of the city’s green champions, the ordinance provides that the CTTMO shall designate the routes to be considered as “signed shared roadways or signed bike routes” and install signs along the routes to “indicate to the bicycle users that particular advantages exist in using the route and more importantly to serve as notice to motorized vehicle drivers that bicycle traffic is present.” In her interview over Davao See BIKE, page 11

IDPs of Marawi Siege SEC shuts down CROWD1 saved by face masks By DIVINA M. SUSON Correspondent

MARAWI CITY ----- Three years ago, they were displaced by the Marawi siege. They were vendors at Padian area in Marawi City before the siege. Though community is not oneof the city’s 24 barangays (villages) and hardly affected by the five-month war, these 32 women fled Barangay Timbangalan since it is adjacent to the village where heavy fighting was happening. They were displaced and had to seek safe refuge in some parts of Lanao del Sur and neighboring provinces in Northern Mindanao. Some of them even stayed for a while in an evacuation center before finding a more comfortable place for their family. In March 2018, residents of the non-affected areas, including Barangay Timbangalan, were allowed to return to their homes. But life has not been the same for them. They struggled financially because their businesses were not operating like before. “We were told by our barangay chairman to organize ourselves into a cooperative so we could join a seminar for a livelihood. There were three groups who get listed for a seminar with the MARADECA, one group to train for farming, one for cooking and we are for dressmaking,” said Tahira Aragasi, the manager and master cutter of the group. A non-government organization the MARADECA (Maranao People Development Center, Inc.) organizes livelihood trainings and peace and conflict mapping analysis. Aragasi’s group, dubbed the Timbangalan Women’s Association, started with 20 members. Today, the association has over 30 members . Although many are already knowledgeable in dressmaking, they still ac-

These women vendors from the Padian area in Marawi City displaced during the siege have risen up and now earn their livelihood by sewing elegant Maranaw dresses for sale and for rent. Now in the face of the pandemic they have shifted to producing face masks for personal use to continue earning for the family's needs. divina m. suson

cept members who needed a livelihood even if she has to start from zero. “May mga mananahi na talaga sa amin simula pa noong bago ang giyera sa Marawi, pero mayroon rin mga gusto pang matuto,” Aragasi said. (Most of us were dressmakers before before the war in Marawi, but still many more want to learn) The grant The group started a dressmaking cooperative selling traditional and artistic Muslim dresses through a P200,000( USD 3,941 ) grant from the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP), the partner agency of MARADECA. This helped them to access technical trainings, buy sewing machines and fabrics to help kick-start their businesses. Demand for their dresses have start to steadily increase, with orders coming in from tourists staying at the local hotel helping them gain a significant profit. They specialize in ceremonial dresses for the enthronement of sultans and princesses each of which

sell for as much as P4,0007,000 pesos. Still others make dresses for rent. The business has helped the women earn on their own, feel empowered, and improve the status of the whole household. Anisah Dima, 60, is a solo parent with four children, one of whom is already an adult. She has been a widow for 20 years. Of the four , only one was left alive, the three others died of various sicknesses when they were small. Anisah joined the cooperative months after it started. Before she joined the cooperative as sewer, she was farming a small parcel of land some kilometers away from Timbangalan. “I only knew a little about sewing because I am more a farmer. Now that I am older, I asked them if I can join the group because my body can no longer endure farming. She (Aragasi) taught me how to sew,” Dima said in Filipino. During the pandemic When the coronavirus pandemic hit the Philippines,

the women’s livelihoods were greatly affected. Due to social distancing and the ‘no mass gathering’ protocols, the women were unable to keep their business like before. The village that they live in is also quite isolated and they were unable to access the face masks and hand sanitizers they needed. While they received cash aid from the government’s social amelioration program (SAP), it was not enough for most of the families with five to seven members . With a leftover inventory of textiles that MARADECA gave them, the women decided to instead start stitching face masks. “May mga tulong na natanggap pero hindi sapat kasi kailangan pang bumili ng gatas at diaper ng anak. Lalo na at Ramadan, kailangan ng maraming pagkain,” Aragasi noted. (The food packs we received were not enough because we still have to buy other needs like milk and diapers for infants and we need more food for the RaSee MASKS, page 11

THE Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has ordered CROWD1 Asia Pacific, Inc. to immediately stop soliciting and accepting investments from the public under a scheme disguised as a digital marketing business. In an order issued May 12, 2020 the Commission directed CROWD1 to cease and desist, under pain of contempt, from engaging in activities of selling and/or offering for sale securities in the form of investment contracts or other similar schemes without prior registration and permit to sell. The SEC also ordered CROWD1 to cease from promoting its investment scheme in social media and other online platforms. Fu r t h e r m o r e , t h e Commission prohibited CROWD1 from transacting any business involving funds in its depository banks, and from transferring, disposing, or conveying in any manner all related assets for the benefit of the investors. The cease and desist order covers the corporation’s operators, partners, directors, officers, salespersons, agents, representatives, promoters, and all persons, conduit entities and subsidiaries claiming and acting for and on its behalf. The SEC Cagayan de Oro Extension Office (SEC – CDOEO) despite the pandemic which still operates, has been receiving inquiries from various people under jurisdiction regarding to the legality of CROWD1. Numerous reports were also sent via emails of SEC CDOEO. “We really encourage everyone to always check the SEC Advisories and be extra cautious in dealing your investments to different entities currently operating today amid this pandemic”, Atty. Renato V. Egypto, SEC CDOEO Director said in a statement. The SEC issued the cease and desist order after finding that CROWD1 has operated “a fraudulent investment scheme consisting of the sale and/or

offer of inexistent securities in the form of investment contracts to the public.” CROWD1 solicits and accepts investments from the public by offering what it describes as educational packages for a minimum of P6,000 and as much as P240,000. To entice the public to invest, CROWD1 promises member-investors five different bonuses: streamline bonus, binary pairing bonus, fear of loss bonus, matching bonus, and residual bonus from games and gambling apps. CROWD1 likewise touts a pairing incentive payable in euros to encourage member-investors to recruit new members. Representing itself as a digital marketing business, CROWD1 claims it generates income from online games and facilitates the generation by its members of residual income from its affiliate gaming companies such as AFFIGLO and MIGGSTER. The SEC, however, ruled that CROWD1’s scheme involved the sale and/or offer of securities in the form of investment contracts and, thus, required a secondary license under Republic Act No. 8799, or The Securities Regulation Code (SRC). Rule 26.3.5 of the 2015 Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the SRC defines an investment contract as “a contract, transaction or scheme whereby a person invests his money in a common enterprise and is led to expect profits primarily through the efforts of others.” An investment contract is presumed to exist when a person seeks to use the money or property of other persons on the promise of profits. Also, a common enterprise is deemed created when two or more investors pool their resources even if the promoter receives nothing more than a broker’s commission. In this light, the SEC held that CROWD1 engaged in the sale and/or offer for sale

VER 2,000 internally displaced p ersons (IDPs) of the five-month-long Marawi siege that transpired exactly three years ago today, May 23, have been given psycho-social support (PSS) under the Gawad Angat BAYan (GABAY) Program, a corporate social responsibility (CSR) project of Land Bank of the Philippines

(LANDBANK), funded by the Department of Finance (D OF) under the Kre ditanstalt für Wiederaufbau-Interest Differential Fund (KfWIDF). Since the implementation of the program in January 2019, LANDBANK, a s Pro g r am Man a ge r, has partnered with Balay Mindanaw Foundation, Inc. (BFMI), as Program

Wed-Thu, May 27-28, 2020

Implementer, to conduct various PSS activities that have so far benefited 1,673 internally displaced adults and 455 internally displaced children in ten (10) barangays and transitional shelters in Marawi City and Lanao del Sur. T h e P S S a c t i v i t y, dubbed as Mashwara Para Ko Kapamulong (Conversations for Healing), is designed to provide space

for community sharing and community-building among IDPs and other individuals affected by violence. It also aimed to identify and prioritize issues within the communities, and come up with common hopes and possible actions to address the identified issues. “The LANDBANK GABAY Program embodies the Bank’s commitment

to help communities grow and recover. Since the implementation of the program in 2019, we were able to give hope to many of our brothers and sisters in Marawi City and Lanao del Sur, helping them rebuild their communities from the catastrophic impact brought about by the five-month-long siege in 2017,” LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C.

Borromeo said. To continue the conversations with internally displaced adults, LANDBANK facilitated postPSS activities, such as the Mashwara Corners, in partner-communities where participants shared their personal journeys since completing the Mashwara Para Ko Kapamulong activities. Meanwhile, for the internally displaced children, the Bank conducted a series of Children’s Festival which included games, storytelling and learning sessions. A unique feature of the PSS program is the incorporation of eco-therapy where LANDBANK mounted various workshops and hands-on trainings on natural farming to share and emphasize its importance as an introduction to a sustainable way of living and healing. As part of the main components of the GABAY Program, LANDBANK also held a series of trainings of trainers on PSS, with a total of 101 graduates. They eventually ser ved as facilitators in the conduct of PSS activities and other interventions for the conflict-torn communities.

Let Thousands Cooperatives Bloom as Countervailing Force In expressing opinion, it is always done in prose. This time for a change, let me do it in poetry as the outpourings of words do not just come from the mind but direct from the heart. This gives more credence to that adage in the Little Prince that “it is only through the heart that one can see clearly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.” That supreme force in the Universe called love beacons all of us in the cooperative movement to exemplify the spirit of oneness irrespective of color, creed or class during these most trying times. It now behooves upon us to shed-off our apathy, unlike that frog that was boiled-up to death because it cannot detect temperature changes. You know that experiment in Biology 101? It runs something like this. You take a frog and put it in a pot of cold water. Put the pot on a stove and turn it on to start boiling. As the water in the pot gradually heats up, you tell the frog to jump, to save itself, but the frog, if it can talk, will just say, “what is it that you are talking about, nothing is wrong, am ok.” So, it will just sit there until it is boiled up to death. In the past, we were just like that frog in many ways. We lost our forest and mega-

Let Thousands Coops Bloom & Millions Hearts Content for Unity Against COVID-19 Oh beloved Philippines, where ecological wealth abounds! So rich in fisheries, agriculture, forests and mines, Where beauties do not end at the shorelines, But in the Filipinos’ courageous hearts and minds. There, in the land of the brave and the free, Amidst nature bounties lies hunger and poverty; Why a few with so much to enjoy? Yet the many with too little or nothing at all! Each shapes the country we hold dear, Behooving upon us to shed-off apathy and fear. Now listen to the cries of the multitude, Hear what they agonize in their solitude: “Oh, give me food, be it burnt or stale, It kills the fire in my stomach, In exchange, take whatever you like, I could surrender my freedom or life for food, With little food, I can start the day before sunrise. I can shake out the knotted hair of the stormy sea. Love, sadness, thought, I set at nothing. I will give all for food.” Empowerment of the poor & the oppressed the solution, Let us dismantle structures of social exclusion for the Balik Probinsya,, Put the people in the mainstream of progress na may Bagong Pag-asa, Let us wage coop revolution for social justice & peace. SHALOM, let us embrace one another in the spirit of oneness, A million coop voices to illuminate darkness, For we are all waves of one sea and leaves of one tree, We now must unite, otherwise we all fall in demise.

diversity, we acted as if nothing was wrong. We lost our seas and rivers and all of our ecological integrity, we just didn’t mind. This time, our very life is at stake and the unseen enemy has already wrought so much havoc on our lives and economy. Today, we cannot afford to lose even that most essential value in life, peace and unity, otherwise, we will lost everything. We now take heed of the many sufferings visited upon our people and we now declare that enough is enough, even through this simple poem: My firm salute to the cooperatives nation-wide for showing kindness, love and compassion during these most difficult times. Indeed, the compassion showed by the cooperatives in providing food, medicine, relief goods and funding the personnel protective equipment of the Front Liners shines through amidst the darkness caused by the pandemic. To the kindred spirit, our firm salute and warm embrace from the Cooperative Development Authority! Talaga po naman, “sa kadiliman ng gabi, may naglalamay sa pagdating ng bagong umaga!” Tuloy po ang laban. Sa kooperatibismo, walng iwanan at walang maiiwan!

Speaking Out

Champion of the street children Fr. Rocky Evangelista, the Champion of Street Children, just completed his 50th anniversary as a priest. But at 77, he has no intention of retiring from his mission anytime soon. His mission: to continue to get children off the streets and back alleys, off the most unholy places, and bring them to a safe place they can call “home”. Today, “home” is located in Tuloy sa Don Bosco (Tuloy) in a 4 ½ hectare compound in Alabang, Muntinlupa City. Thanks to countless generous donors and volunteers, Tuloy now has 10 dormitories, a school and administrative building, technical-vocational skills workshops, a culinary arts center, a center for recreation and the arts, a multi-purpose sports center, an ecological productivity zone (tiered vegetable garden), a chapel, and even a world-class football field. Tuloy is currently supporting around 800 inhouse students. Tuloy also opens its sports facilities to out-of-school children from Muntinlupa and Las Piñas.

Tuloy offers a well-rounded curriculum designed to tap the potential of every child. It’s classrooms, training and sports facilities can compare with what the best institutions offer. Fr. Rocky explains: “If you want to get the best out of these children, give them the best service. It redeems their dignity and self-worth and they begin to dream. When they begin to dream, you build their self-confidence. You open new avenues for them.” During his golden anniversary thanksgiving mass last Sunday, (celebrated online because of the lockdown) Father Rocky beamed with pride. “Over a period of 27 years, Tuloy has graduated thousands of former street children, raising them to be God-fearing and valuable citizens. More than 100 kids are now working at Capital One. A lot of culinary graduates are working abroad, a number of them in prestigious restaurants, hotels and luxury liners. Graduates of the performing arts and ballet are now training under the wings

of international mentors. In sports, our soccer team has participated in national competitions.” But Fr. Rocky is specially proud of Tuloy graduates who have started to build their own families, and raising their own children in an environment much better than what they were born into. He is proud of those who would have otherwise have become the dregs of society. One graduate typified it best. “Were it not for Tuloy, I would have ended up either in prison or in the cemetery. Now I have a good job, my own home and my own car. I have a loving wife and children whom I plan to raise like Fr. Rocky raised me.” Prophetically, what was to become a lifelong mission started with a dream in June 23, 1993. Fr. Rocky related to CNN Philippines’s Mitzi Borromeo what happened. In that dream, Fr. Rocky said he saw himself walking with some street children in a wide open field. They were looking for food and for a place to sleep. As they walked through the empty

Ignacio Bunye

fields, the kids grew by the thousands and then the surroundings started to turn into a green meadow. Farther in the distance, they saw a brown gate. They rushed to peer through the gate and inside they saw a beautiful village. One of the children said: “It is so beautiful inside, Father. But it is not for us. Because we are poor.” Father Rocky said he woke up crying. His eyes were opened. He felt he was jarred out of his comfort zone. He felt he was being called. On that fateful night, Fr. Rocky said he saw his role in God’s grand plan. “It was a call, within a call, to make me more faithful to my vocation.” At the start, he went out from 10 pm to 4 am, searching for children living in the streets, under bridges, inside cemeteries, observing how they fended for themselves.

Vapor therapy against coronavirus disease By MDN DIGITAL NEWS TEAM

H

AVE you heard of this traditional medicine which can also help kill the virus that is now wrecking havoc in many countries of the world? As this piece of news is written, coronavirus disease is wrecking havoc in the United States. As of today,

there are now over 1.6 million Americans who were tested positive of covid-19, and over 97,000 have already died. But according to this Filipino couple based in New York, they were also tested positive of covid-19, but they don’t panic, and instead they remain calm, so

that they would decide exactly what to do. Instead of going to the hospital, they first tried a traditional medication against fever and flu which has been practiced by their family in the past. And it is all about boiling water with salt and then inhaling and letting the vapor penetrate to the whole body while under the

blanket. In this way, sweats come out from the body and contain the virus from further attacking the human cells and the immune system. How steam therapy works? In case of sore throat and sneezing, you can proceed to observe the following: 1. For steam therapy or (Tuob), boil water and add

salt. Get a blanket and cover your whole body with it. Place the pot with the boiled saline water under the blanket and start inhaling the steam. 2. Wrap fine slices of onions in a handkerchief. Place it on your chest and let it stay there overnight. “We must fight covid-19 within the confines of our homes and

refrain from going to the hospital for covid-19 treatment if the symptoms are not serious. If we can prevent ourselves from catching cold or flu, we can surely prevent ourselves from being infected by the coronavirus,” says Engr Jeffrey Hapitan. Hapitan added “Prevention is the key in totally eradicating this pandemic.”

WATER VAPOR THERAPY. A couple in New York survives the deadly attack of COVID-19. Scientists all over the world are still looking for the right vaccine that would end the agony of the people.

USLIMS all over the world will soon celebrate Iedul Fitr (either on 23rd or 24th of May, 2020). Unlike with the previous years, Iedul Fitr for this year will be celebrated differently due to this Covid19 pandemic situation that we still don’t know when will end. Covid19 pandemic has changed all of the system and the habits people have acquired, including our ways of being religious. This pandemic has made

us as human with religion closer to God as the creator of all in an intense and personal way. In Islam, Taqwa (Godfearing) as one of the purposes of fasting, not only for us to be closer to God personally, but way more than that it has to be proven in a real setting of social action. By fast ing , we shou ld build empathy for those who are unfortunate and poor. Economically, the effect of the pandemic has made many members

in the community new unfortunates, where businesses became weak, even dest roye d (b an k r upt). Therefore, as a muslim, we should empathize them more, because we already experienced or at least understood the hunger of the poor. Yes, fasting should be able to create and build that love for others and empathy especially for the poor and unfortunates. Before celebrating Iedul Fitr within few more days, there is one obligation a Muslim should do, it is paying Zakat Fitrah,

every person should lend out some of their fortune and give it to the poor people around them, and it should be 2,5kg of rice grain per person/head. Aside from zakat fitrah, Muslims should also pay zakat mal and profession zakat, if the fortune has reached the nisab as many as 98 grams of pure gold and has reached the haul (time period), a year of owning it. Therefore, fasting should be able to move us and inspire us to share with others who are in need, among our close relatives, neighbors and

people around us. After fasting a whole month in Ramadhan, all of the Muslims celebrates Iedul Fitr, where a lot of people gather in a wide f ields and mos ques to do Ied prayer with joy and happiness. This year, because of this covid19 pandemic, many countries ask Muslims to do the prayers personally in their own homes, even I it is allowed to do it in open space with crowds, it should be done under procedures. The essence of Iedul Fitr is going back to holy and being pure, like a newborn baby that has no sin to God. Hence, Iedul Fitr also followed by asking forgiveness and

forgiving others. Iedul Fitr taught us to be a person who can ask forgiveness to other people and forgive those who have hurt us. Therefore, our fasting during Ramadhan should make us a person who can love and empathize, share and forgive.

The situation today in the country and all over the world, pushed the education sector to plan and create new set-up of educational system. This will be the new normal in education. Everyone is affected with this pandemic crisis. The experts and scientists all over the world are doing their best to stop the pandemic through discovering medicine and vaccine. The school children, teachers, school staff, and parents are affected in this hardest time brought by the corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic. As part of the preparation of the new normal in education, a 3-day

webinar was conducted. It was a very challenging experience during the 3-day webinar on MISAMIS ORIENTAL DIGITAL EDUCATION MAINSTREAMING (MODEM) which is a DepEd Misamis Oriental initiative. The internet connection was lost due to the unreachable location. The audio of the resource speaker was sometimes interrupted because some of the teachers still turn-on their microphones. But along the way, the teachers adjusted the new set-up of the webinar and it all went well. At the end of the day, there were various methods learned in teaching using the gadgets, online applications

with the access of internet. The online educational applications are very interesting. It will be very useful to the pupils in this new normal set-up of learning. Using it will enable the teachers and pupils to become tech-savvy. It will also help them to cope with the technological advancement. Although it will be difficult for the hinterland schools where there is no internet connection, but it is also necessary that teachers are updated to technological skills. Moreover, this is one of the best ways to teach the pupils especially social distancing is observed.

Unschooling isn’t the answer

9

NOTICE OF HEARING

WITH schools closed, the concept of unschooling – allowing kids to direct their own learning – is being touted by some as timely and new. But the idea has been around for centuries and its influence on education has been mostly pernicious. It’s an alluring philosophy. Just let children follow their own interests with gentle facilitation from an adult and they’ll learn whatever they need to. A prescribed curriculum delivered by teachers is not only unnecessary, it crushes children’s natural curiousity and creativity. At the same time, commentators are urging parents to adopt it during this era of en-

forced remote learning and perhaps beyond. And whether or not their parents have consciously embraced the philosophy, many kids are now being effectively unschooled although it may look like they’re just sleeping all day and playing video games (a natural phase on the path to discovering your passions). Generations of prospective teachers have been ingrained with the idea that children ideally learn through choice and discovery rather than direct instruction. A teacher must be a guide on the side, not a sage on the stage. There are benefits of enabling children to own their own learning.

WE HEAL AS ONE! By: EDERNI M. KHU Teacher II Balingasag Central School Balingasag, Misamis Oriental

The world seems stop turning. People stay at home to protect themselves from invisible foe. Transportation via air, water, and land holds its movement to stop the spread of the corona virus that curtail the lives of many people around the globe. The school abruptly cancelled. Economic condition drastically suffers its loss. It is extremely huge mess of the humanity. All are waiting for the cure and hoping to be back to its normal situation. However, everything is vague to where this pandemic ends. Everyone cries for the mercy of the government for those suffering economically, and also prays for the Almighty God for compassion and kindness that all this suffering will end soon. Due to the uncertain condition of the country, it is the stand of the Department of Education to fight and stand against this pandemic. The new normal of education will be practiced. Today, teachers are prepared through online training to equip themselves to the new strategies of teaching to suit this

condition. It is mandated to observe physical or social distancing. How can learners adapt the new set-up in classroom setting? What would it be the picture of the children who cannot closely mingle each other? How can they socialized if social distancing should be observed? These are some of the scenarios that teachers and learners will be coping to the new normal of educational setting. Nonetheless, let us be determined. Let us teach the children to be brave to face the new world. Let us teach them to protect themselves. Let us teach them to fight and win the battle against covid 19 pandemic. This world belongs to us! We must take care of it for the good of the entire human race. This pandemic will be a challenge to everyone to change for the better. Practice of proper hygiene should be a priority of everybody. Lessen of so much contact with the crowd of unknown people would prevent us from contamination. Be alert and keep safe. We heal as one.

Wed-Thu, May 27-28, 2020 lane. However, we cannot allocate one lane just for them because we only have two or four lanes,” he said at that time. He said the CTTMO has not identified bicycle lanes due to the current limitations of the roads. But he added the cyclists are encouraged to ride their bikes but reminded them to be extra careful knowing fully well the perils they could encounter on the road. Abude’s remarks did not sit well with cycling advocates. Manila Bulletin photojournalist Keith Bacongco, a bike enthusiast himself, said Abude’s previous claims that the narrow streets of Davao have made it impossible to accommodate the bicycle lanes have no basis, hoping he would open up his mind and not immediately shoot down the request of the cyclists who desire for safer roads. Bacongco dared Abude to ride a bicycle on his own around the city for a week to know the plight of many workers who are biking to work these days. He said the cyclists did not demand an entire lane to be designated as a bicycle lane, believing that there is a standard dimension for bicycle lanes for various street measurements. “I don’t know if he has seen the influx of bikers on the road. One more thing, the bikers don’t ride their bikes to work the entire day, you will see many of them from 6 to 8 a.m. Around 9 a.m., you will only see a few of them. In the afternoon, you will see them out on the roads again starting 4 until 6 o’clock,” he added. Bacongco said he was baffled as to how the CTTMO could tolerate the car owners who have been parking their vehicles along the outer lanes but not so with cyclists who are just passing. “I’m speaking not just as a journalist but also as a citizen of the city. I’ve been biking for a long time. I bike to work whenever time, weather, and my body permit. It’s a matter of choice. These days, many have shifted to biking because of the scarcity of public transportation like PUVs and as part of the social distancing measures,” he said. Sustainable Davao Movement (SDM) co-convener Mylai Santos welcomed this development and encouraged the CTTMO head to

make a swift move to get the ordinance implemented. She also asked the locals to help clear the sidewalks and roads by not using the outer lanes for parking and patronizing the street vendors only in their designated areas such as the Roxas Night Market once everything gets back to normal. “We should reclaim the sidewalks for pedestrians, and the roads for all road users and not for vehicle parking and other activities,” she said. Environment planner Lemuel Manalo, who is IDIS research specialist, said Mayor Duterte’s pronouncement was good news for the members of the Davao’s cycling community, including those who are planning to start using their bikes for commute. “We urge the Mayor and the local government for a participatory planning process over this like holding consultations with cycling groups, urban planners and designers, environmental advocates, etc. They are very active online and on social media to help assess and recommend” he said. He suggested that the assessment and study of the lanes would be more helpful if a survey is done using the bicycles to address the actual problems on the ground. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

Masks...

from page 2 madan.) Orders coming The masks they made have been certified by the Department of Health (DOH). Aragasi said the first batch of facemasks she made was for personal use. She posted it on social media and as a locally trusted business, orders for their masks started coming in. The first order they received was from the Army’s Civil Military Battalion who ordered 200 pieces which was distributed to their personnel. “Then the LGUs (local government units) in Lanao del Sur ordered for their frontliners. It was a big help for us to survive during the pandemic,” Aragasi said. MARADECA MARADECA’s chief executive officer Salic Ibrahim said Timbangalan is one of the eight barangays in Marawi City they support. When they consulted the beneficiaries on what kind of livelihood they preferred to engage in, MARADECA was already preparing them

with trainings. “Before we give them projects, they should be trainef on how to sustain it. They must be prepared especially in terms of business to change their mindsets to be able to sustain their business,” Ibrahim said. MARADECA also trained youth volunteers who helped their beneficiaries in their various businesses as business consultants. But because of the pandemic, Ibrahim said he is apprehensive that the income they have before the community quarantine was spent for their daily needs. “Mao nay among gikabalak-an kay naa sa ilaha ang ilang income, Dili sila maka lihok og maayo, wala silay income, daghan nila ang wala naapil sa SAP, maong tan-aw namo nagastos nila ang ilang pondo. Hinaut nga duna pa mi maapsan,” Ibarahim said. (We are worried now because with movements curtailed they cannot earn, many of them are not beneficiaries of SAP, so we expect they spent their earnings, I hope we can still save their livelihood.)

of securities in the form of investment contracts. The Commission also ruled that the act of CROWD1 of publishing and making presentations on its investment/ business scheme through its website, Facebook, YouTube and on-ground events, and inviting investors constituted a public offering as defined under Rule 3.1.17 of the 2015 IRR of the SRC. Section 8 of the SRC provides that securities shall not be sold or offered for sale or distribution within the Philippines, without a registration statement duly filed with and approved by the SEC. CROWD1 neither secured a secondary license to operate as a broker/ dealer, registered as issuer of mutual funds, exchangetraded funds or proprietary/ nonproprietary shares, nor registered any securities pursuant to the SRC. CROWD1 only registered as a corporation for the primar y purpose of engaging in business process outsourcing services. The SEC, however, emphasized that the certificate of incorporation granted to CROWD1 explicitly prohibited the corporation from soliciting, accepting

or taking investments or placements from the public as well as from issuing investment contracts. With all these various entities which have the same schemes of defrauding the people by showing certificates of registration from the Commission, SEC-CDOEO takes this challenge to educate the investing public by attending or organizing radio interview and press releases as a strategy of informing the public amid this pandemic. Atty. Egypto added that “Our investing public should always ask for the secondary license if they are dealing an entity which offers/sells investment contracts. It is your right as well as an investor to look for their financial report to assure that the market can sustain the promises they are dealing with you.” Acting on numerous complaints, reports and inquiries, the SEC Enforcement and Investor Protection Department (EIPD) conducted an investigation, which included surveillance and field operations, for possible violations of the SRC and its IRR. The EIPD was then able to establish by substantial evidence that CROWD1 was selling and/or offering securities to the public in the form of investment contracts without the required secondary license from the Commission. Based on the findings and evidence gathered, the SEC proceeded with the issuance of a cease and desist order against CROWD1. “[I]t is clear that CROWD1 is not authorized to sell or offer its educational packages to the public because they are securities in the form of investment contracts, and CROWD1 does not have the requisite license from this Commission,” the order read. “This undoubtedly warrants the issuance of a cease and desist order because the act of CROWD1 in selling/ offering unregistered securities operates as a fraud to the public which, if unrestrained, will likely cause grave or irreparable injury or prejudice to the investing public.” The public is encouraged to submit their reports for any fraudulent activities which they have the information and send it to seccdoeo@gmail.com for faster action towards the rightful authorities.

BDO Foundation supports gov’t programs on COVID-19

I

N THE fight to contain COVID-19 and its effects, collaboration between the private sector and the national government is crucial. This is why BDO Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of BDO Unibank, supported RapidPass and ReliefAgad, two government programs designed to help frontliners and Filipinos severely affected by the novel coronavirus pandemic. “The RapidPass System and ReliefAgad Program are ways to make movement and transactions more efficient in communities under enhanced community quarantine and general community quarantine,” explained Teresita SyCoson, chairperson of BDO. “Because these initiatives will benefit the communities, they are in line with the objectives of BDO Foundation.” In support of RapidPass,

the foundation donated 300 smartphones with prepaid loads and 550 power banks to the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). The items were turned over by BDO Foundation president Mario Deriquito to DOST National Capital Region regional director Jose Patalinjug III. The donation helps the implementation of the RapidPass System, enabling the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines to safely and efficiently scan QR codes at checkpoints and facilitate the quick passage of vehicles of more than 500,000 authorized frontliners and critical service personnel. RapidPass minimizes vehicle congestion at 180 control points and speeds up the delivery of essential goods during the quarantine. The system prevents COVID-19 transmissions and ultimately helps stimulate economic ac-

tivity. “The system allows frontline personnel to apply for a digital pass,” explained Winston Damarillo, chief executive of Developers Connect Philippines, the non-profit organization behind both

RapidPass and ReliefAgad. “Holders of the pass may go through a special lane without the need for additional documents. Checkpoint officers verify passes via encrypted high-speed scanners provided by BDO Foundation. This

saves time at checkpoints.” BDO Foundation also supported ReliefAgad, a web application that automates and accelerates the distribution of financial assistance to beneficiaries of the government’s Social Amelioration

Program (SAP). Managed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the Department of Information and Communications Technology, the digital app enables the efficient collection of beneficiary information. “BDO Foundation provided support to facilitate one-time passwords to users of ReliefAgad. Through its assistance, the foundation ensures that SAP beneficiaries receive their subsidies in a timely and secure manner,” Damarillo shared. With the ReliefAgad Program in place, millions of Filipinos—underserved individuals who lost their incomes due to the pandemic—are expected to receive cash aid safely as they avoid long lines in crowded public spaces and exposure to COVID-19. Beneficiaries also have options to obtain financial assistance through electronic payment systems or directly from banks.
