DTI to test questionable steel bars sold in AgSur Since

1923

By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN

SAN Francisco, Agusan del Sur--The provincial office of the Department of Trade and Industry will verify the authenticity of Product Standard Certificates provided by the two hardware stores in two towns of this province selling questionable reinforced steel bars. Jose Baron Jr., DTI acting provincial director, said they will take samples of steel bars sold by the two business establishment to be submitted to the central office of the Bureau of Product Standards (BPS) in Manila for further material testing. Baron said verification is needed to check on an earlier report by the Philippine Iron and Steel Institute (PISI) that saw 10 hardware stores across Mindanao found to be selling construction steel bars which are either undersized , underweight or did not passed the mandatory standards.

PPCRV favors raise in campaign spending limits LONG overdue. Thus the reaction of the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) to a proposed measure seeking to increase campaign spending limits. PPCRV chairman Rene Sarmiento said it has been a long time since the current limits were set in the law and it had to be reviewed. “The bill is very long overdue. Wise and practical that the amount to be spent by every candidates be increased,” Sarmiento said.

Although he did not suggest any figure, Sarmiento said that a substantial increase is necessary because the current amount is no longer sufficient to cover the cost of a modern campaign. “Many changes had took place since then: prices of basic and less basic commodities and our population has risen astronomically, so is our voting population,” he explained. “Time to review this anachronistic provision and make it realistic and See favors, page 11

Fearless journo recalls Marawi siege experience By Ben Cal PNA

AS the nation marks with grief the first anniversary of the Marawi siege by proIslamic State Maute terrorists on Wednesday (May 23), journalist Benjie Liwanag recalled his daring coverage of the bloody fighting that lasted for five months, during which, he found himself in the line of fire a

number of times, but cited prayers and faith in God as his savior during his war reportage. Liwanag, defense reporter of radio station dzBB under TV network GMA, was one of the more than 80 journalists from various parts of the world who covered the war on terror waged by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the

Philippine National Police (PNP) against more than 1,500 Maute terror group members that lay siege on Marawi City in southern Philippines on that fateful day of May 23, 2018. The Marawi siege was preceded by a series of clashes between the military and the Maute terrorists to capture Isnilon Hapilon, the leader of the Islamic terror

group, who was spotted in the Marawi. During the fighting, the Maute terrorists attacked Camp Ranao and occupied several tall buildings, including the city hall and the Mindanao State University in Marawi. In an interview, Liwanag said it was the second day of the fighting when he See recalls, page 11

MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur -- In partnership with the Marawi government, Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC), and the government of Japan, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) will build 1,500 core shelters for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in support of the rehabilitation process of Marawi City. The concerned parties signed the Memorandum of Understanding for the said project at the Bagumbayan Hall, May 24. In his speech at the signing ceremony, Marawi City Mayor Majul Gandamra stated the value of this project for the IDPs. “As much as we are pleased with the temporal shelters, we feel that our people need more permanent dwellings in the longterm for many have lost everything in the siege. They have lost their sources of livelihood. Many are forced to rely on help from the government and even from private sectors,” he said. Task Force B angon Marawi (TFBM) Chairperson, Secretary Eduardo del Rosario announced that the floor area of each house will have a minimum of 36 square meters instead of the usual 25 square meters. He explained that a bigger floor area is necessary for the average family size in Marawi City, which is six

to 14 members. Del Rosario added that the housing project aims to build a community similar to a subdivision, including a school for the education of the children. He said, “Iyong gagawin natin ay hindi just housing units. It will be a community. Parang subdivision ang gagawin. Merong common facilities for livelihood or training center. Pagagawa na rin tayo ng eskwelahan kung saan gagawin iyong subdivision para hindi na magta-travel ang ating mga anak sa malayong eskwelahan.” [What we will build are not just housing units. It will be a community similar to a subdivision. There will be common facilities for livelihood or training center. We will also build a school for the subdivision so that our children will no longer have to travel to distant schools.] UN-Habitat Country Programme Manager Christopher E. Rollo explained the project’s communitydriven approach called the People’s Process, which will require the leadership of the community with support from the local and national government. “The People’s Process involves strong community and stakeholder participation as family partners will be involved and take part in deciding where they will return and stay, what house they will live in, what See build, page 11

AMID the controversy surrounding Philippine basketball player Kiefer Ravena, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday called for a review of available workout and energy drinks in the market. In a statement, FDA Director General Nela Puno said Ravena’s case would a good opportunity to reexamine the content and labelling of energy drinks. “I will immediately direct a thorough review of these products to protect the health and fitness conscious public,” Puno said. Under the FDA Act of 2009, the agency is mandated to ensure the safety, efficacy, purity, and quality of food products, medicines, cosmetics, and medical devices. On Monday, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) announced that Ravena had been suspended for 18 months by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). Ravena was tested positive for three banned substances believed from a preworkout drink he took called “DUST”, back in February while he was playing for the Gilas Pilipinas national men’s basketball team. Meanwhile, in an interview, health reform advocate Dr. Anthony Leachon expressed support to FDA’s move.

200 evacuate as armed clashes in Misamis Oriental continues By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY: More than 200 individuals evacuated as the armed skirmishes in the hinterlands of Misamis Oriental have continued for the past four days, local government officials said Wednesday. The armed clashes between the military and the communist New People’s Army (NPA) started Sunday morning in the outskirt village of Minkamansi in

Banglay, Lagonglong, Misamis Oriental, the military reported. Two alleged NPA combatants were reportedly killed in the ensuing firefight while an army soldier of the pursuing government troopers was also wounded. Lt. Tere Ingente, head of the army’s public affairs division, said that a helicopter gunship successfully rescued and airlifted the wounded army soldier to the army station hospital in Camp

Evangelista here. In a military report released Tuesday, Ingente identified only one of the NPA rebel fatalities as Odelo Compas, a.k.a. “Sapayan.” Compas and the other unidentified fatality was believed to be “bomb experts” who were responsible in the production of improvised explosive device and ordnance. Local officials in Lagonglong, however, reported Wednesday that the bod-

ies of the two alleged NPA combatants have yet to be retrieved from the encounter site. “Rescue teams could not penetrate the site because of NPA snipers in the borders of Lagonglong and Balingasag as the military conducts a clearing operation in the area,” provincial disaster officials said. Disaster officials said that the evacuees were divided into two groups – one in Kibaban in the Balingasag

while the other was in Banglay Lagonglong, all located in Misamis Oriental’s east district. Gerry Abasa, a senior provincial disaster official, said that the provincial government of Misamis Oriental has dispatched relief goods to the evacuees starting Tuesday. The evacuees would return only after the military declared that the area is already safe, he said. See clashes, page 5

P118-M farm aid readied for Bukidnon corn growers MALAYBALAY CITY -The provincial government of Bukidnon has allocated funds for the seed and fertilizer subsidies for the province’s corn farmers, especially the Indigenous Peoples (IPs). Provincial agricultur-

ist, Alson Quimba, said the distribution of hybrid corn seeds and fertilizer worth PHP118 million is the second to be held this year. Quimba, who bared the plan to the Provincial Board during its regular session

on Tuesday, said a total of 21,818 corn farmers will receive the farm subsidies in July. Last March, the provincial agriculture office distributed PHP156 million worth of hybrid corn seeds and fertilizer to some 28,900

farmers. Quimba said the beneficiaries were identified through the profiles of corn farmers at the agriculture offices of the province’s 20 towns and two cities. He said each farmer will be given a 9-kg. sack

of hybrid corn seeds and two sacks of fertilizer. “Farmers who are tilling below one hectare of land and do not have other sources of income are the beneficiaries of the program,” Quimba said. The suppliers are the

Asian Hybrid Seeds and Technologies in Aglayan, Malaybalay City, which will deliver PHP76 million worth of hybrid corn seeds, and the Universal Harvester, Inc., which will provide PHP41.67 worth of See growers, page 5

One Year After: Never Again NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental--Reportedly six proposed master plans for the reconstruction of the ravaged city of Marawi with cost estimates ranging from P 3080B, had been on the table for government to choose from, as early as December 2017, or some two months after the conclusion of the conflict. Six months later, it seems the government has yet to make a choice or has to come up with another plan. Meanwhile, the 350,000 displaced residents are accommodated in temporary shelters and evacuation centers exposed to the elements and at the mercy of the vagaries of the weather. Those who were not accommodated by the quick-response projects had no other option but to seek refuge in the kindness

of relatives in neighboring communities while waiting for their dwellings in ground zero and periphery to be liveable again. In any case, the exceeded carrying capacity of these temporary measures may spawn, if not yet already, a lot of troubles along sanitation, health, and relationship. The elderly and the infirm, the nursing mothers and their young will be the first to buckle down from poor sanitation and hygiene, inadequate food supplies, water and medicines. In fairness though, the rebuilding of the city cannot take off until the rubbles are cleared and the hundreds of unexploded bombs that were dropped from the air are recovered from their sink holes. It’s still a long wait, but in situations like

this, safety is the best policy. How to avoid what happened in Marawi, the decision and strategies that caused it, is something the government should seriously review in the meantime that the clearing and bomb retrieval is still in progress. Congress, both the Senate and the House, is duty-bound to conduct an investigation on the matter. It ought to eschew politics and leave no stone unturned in finding why the fighting to hunt and terminate 100500 terrorists (the figure kept on changing during the battle) turned into a war effort that took 153 days to complete and had effectively and outrageously destroyed an entire city. There are other cities and urban centers in Mindanao that are vulnerable

to terrorist incursions and propaganda efforts. The Marawi tragedy should be avoided: it should not repeat. The cost of the war in terms of lives, human suffering and financial and material resources was staggering. If the cost in lives and consequent suffering of the populace is put in the equation, the decision in pursuing the war borders in insanity. It should not be allowed to happen again. It is, of course, imperative for the government to preserve and promote peace. But any intervention along this must be thoroughly calculated and put in the balance to determine the overall cost, particularly in lives and human suffering. Here enters the thorough assessment of the political See after, page 5

Think A Minute

Upgrade Your Computer

THINK a minute. You know that a brand new computer today will be outdated and old in just a few months. I recently replaced my 7-year old computer when my friends told me I was using a horse to race against rockets. To compete and succeed in this world we have to keep up with the technology, which means continually upgrading our computer. Yet none of these impressive inventions comes even close to the power of the human mind. In fact, our mind’s computer already has all the upgrades we’ll ever need. So since we’re the ones who control the world’s most powerful computer, we must keep learning

and upgrading it every day. Someone said: “Your mind is like a parachute—it’s not much good unless it’s open.” And if we want to change our life, we have to change our mind first. Computers, however, can also be dangerous. That’s why we need an anti-virus program to protect our computer from viruses that can infect and damage it. These protective programs even update themselves regularly against new viruses that can attack. So since we go to all that trouble for a machine that’s so quickly outdated and useless, how much more important is it to protect the computer of our own mind! Everyday we face dan-

TO THE POINT

gerous, deadly viruses like pornography and sex outside of marriage, temptations to lie or steal, commit suicide, gossip, lose our temper, and other kinds of wrong thinking that can ruin our character, our marriage and children, our job, our whole life. That’s why we’ve got to be careful what we allow to come into our mind. “Garbage in, garbage out.” So every day, we need a good brain-washing. And no one’s more qualified to keep our mind clean than God our Maker. That’s why He gave us the Bible as our manual for life, to show us how to maintain and keep improving our mind. The Bible is your own anti-virus program to protect your

mind from wrong thinking that can destroy you. You see, God knows that the person who doesn’t control his thoughts will lose control of his life. So why don’t you decide to spend some time every day reading your Bible and talking with God? Get involved in a Bible-teaching church. It will raise your level of thinking and living, and protect you from all the dangerous viruses that threaten your mind every day. Just Think a Minute.

BBL Passage Assured, But … GENERAL Santos City--The passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law tomorrow, Wednesday May 30, is assured. What will be left crucially hanging is: How compliant will it be with the Comprehensive Agreement on Bangsamoro (CAB) so as to be acceptable to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Moro people? With President R. Rodrigo Duterte certifying today or tomorrow SB No. 1717 and SB No. 6475 as urgent, the House and the Senate will pass them into law on second and third reading tomorrow; the bicameral conference committee will reconcile the two versions during the congressional break. The reconciled version will be separately approved by both Houses in

the morning of July 23 for the President to sign into law before delivering his Third State of the Nation address in the afternoon. This is according to the May 29, 2018 GMA News report “Duterte expected to sign BBL into law on SONA day, Fariñas says”. *** *** *** To ensure the passage of the law, the President met last Monday night the House and Senate leaders and the Bangsamoro Transition Committee. It was at this meeting that Duterte granted the earlier request of both Houses to certify the bills as urgent, GMA News also reported. As reported in the national media, immediately preceding the President’s meeting with the congressional leaders and the BTC,

the BBL was under intense interpellation with only three days left – May 28, 29 and 30 – to introduce crucial amendments, not just a few but many, and to approve the BBL on final reading. Should all these amendments be accepted, SB 1717 which had MILF Chair Al Hadj Murad Ibrahim had deemed “acceptable” and HB 6425, the BTC BBL 2018 copy submitted by the President to the House, will drastically change. How the Monday night intervention of the President would shape the final Bangsamoro Basic Law will be known only by the copy he will sign on July 23. *** *** *** When SB1717 and HB 6425 were approved by the Senate and House com-

mittees, respectively, there was optimism that a CABcompliant BBL would be finally passed. But these dimmed somewhat during the period of interpellation, in the last two weeks. The Philippine Star (May 27, 2018: BBL to get major facelift) said the final version of the BBL “could be very different from what was proposed by Malacañang and the Bangsamoro Transition Commission. Sen. Ralph Recto and Sen. Frank Drilon each have, more or less, 150 proposed amendments. As similarly reported by GMA News (May 26: Recto seeks BBL provisions requiring a nationl govt ‘contribution’) and Philippine Daily Inquirer (May 28: BBL faces more hurdles See apassage, page 5

She said that while there were indications that the armed group belonged to the terrorist NPAs, we were validating reports that the group was “armed bandits.” Ingente said that the military has not established contact with the armed group in Alubijid as of press time.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESULTS EXCEED EXPECTATIONS

By Sheryl Calurasan Bardon Teacher I-Opol National Secondary Technical School Opol, Misamis Oriental

THE outcomes of the first two years of implementing the senior high school program have exceeded expectations. We are very pleased because our expectations have been far exceeded and perhaps doubled – double in the case of enrolment, double in the case also of those who are graduating and completing. This is also largely because the government itself really heavily supported the senior high school

program. The number of students who graduated from senior high school this year reached over 1.2 million. Enrolment figures showed that 1.4 million or about 93 percent proceeded to Grade 11 which DepEd described as very impressive. Senior high school graduates have better prospects than applicants who did not undergo the program because of work immersion which is part of the curriculum.

All senior high school learners get workplace exposure in industries related to their tracks and specializations. Their chances of getting a job in the company where they had work immersion are higher as the companies usually hire those whom they have already trained. It is a challenge at the same time for K-12 graduates to develop their skills and be the company’s engine to growth. Coupled with the right attitude, they will surely succeed in the labor market.

Alam, an intelligence personnel of the Army’s 18th Infantry Battalion, was driving his motorcycle when ambushed by unidentified gunmen in Sitio Kapayawan, Barangay Baguindan, Tipo-Tipo at about 8 a.m. Monday, police said. The victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds that resulted in his instant death. Inot said the incident was reported at about 11 a.m. by Baguindan BaranNOTICE

gay Chairperson Bishari Hantian at the Tipo-Tipo Police station. He said the suspects may have staged the ambush after the victim’s nature of work had been exposed. The place where the ambush occurred was a former stronghold of the Abu Sayyaf Group. As of posting time, no one has claimed responsibility for the incident. (PNA) NOTICE

DPWH to start building P20-B roads in Marawi By Ferdinand Patinio

MANILA -- The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is set to start this year the construction of the 19-km. ring road and trans-central roads in Marawi City worth PHP20 billion. Public Works Secretary Mark Villar said the feasibility study on these roads has been completed, and the department was able to get a USD200-million (PHP10.5-billion) loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). “We are in the procurement process. By the third quarter of this year we would begin with the civil works. We are looking to finalize the bidding/procurement and to award the contract during the second quarter,” Villar said in an interview on the sidelines of the launch of the “Jobs, DATA PRIVACY. Special Assistant to the President (SAP) Secretary Christopher Lawrence Go delivers his message Jobs, Jobs” online portal at the 1st National Data Privacy Conference of the National Privacy Commission (NPC) in Pasay City on Tuesday on Tuesday.

total budget, they could start construction. “ The loan would be used in constructing the 19-km ring road around Marawi City to spur development along the outlying areas. It would open up the city while the transcentral roads, we intend to widen these roads and set a standard width,” Villar said. The DPWH chief noted that they expect the project to be completed by 2020. The project in Marawi is part of the Road Network Master Plan for the entire country, which was drawn up by the DPWH and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Since it will be financed by the ADB, Villar said foreign contractors are allowed to join the bidding process. Last year, Marawi City was the main battleground in the five-month war between government forces and Maute terrorists. (PNA)

Ploutos Coin to launch in CDO SSS sets eye on gov’t projects

for longer financial viability

By MARK FRANCISCO

THE exciting new world of cryptocurrency has finally reached our shores. Ploutos Coin, the latest product offshoot of the highly successful Cagayan de Oro-based Freedom Traders Club which navigates in forex trading for quite a time now. Ploutos Coin, a new cryptocurrency that was conceptualized right here in our very own city, started selling since January at an initial price of $1. As time goes by, the worth of Ploutos Coin increases until it is ready to enter the free market. That’s why while the ICO period is still fresh, it is highly recommended to avail of this opportunity because it will not pass by again. Basically, an individual earns when the value of the coin increases. And what’s even better is that you can withdraw your invested coins anytime with no holding period at all. The basic premise of Ploutos Coin is to purchase it at the lowest price possible and sell it when your

BAGUIO CITY -- The Social Security System is seeking to change its charter to give it more leeway to invest member contributions in more productive ventures like government projects, so the state-run pension fund for private workers stays financially viable. Social Security System (SSS) Senior Vice President for Administration Catherine Ciriaco said in a forum here on Tuesday that the proposed amendments to the 21-year-old SSS charter would ensure the continued expansion of benefits for SSS members, such as the additional PHP1,000 increase in retirement pensions and the coverage for more overseas Filipino workers. Ciriaco related that last May 22, Senator Richard Gordon delivered his sponsorship speech at the Senate on Senate Bill 1753, which seeks to revise Republic Act 8282 or the Social Security Law of 1997. “Tapos na kami sa Lower

NPA leader moved to Davao to face cases

Section 1 of RA 11033 provides that the DOSCST in Mati, including its satellite campuses in the towns of Banaybanay, Cateel and San Isidro, shall be converted into a university. According to its website, DOSCST was established on December 13, 1989 by virtue of RA 6807, a law authored by former Davao Oriental 2nd District representative Thelma Z. Almario. DOSCST was formerly the Mati Community College, a school that the former lawmaker founded in 1972 as mayor of Mati. The government also runs Davao Del Norte State College in Panabo

DAVAO CITY--The New People’s Army (NPA) leader in the Davao region was moved to this city on Tuesday after almost three weeks of treatment for gunshot wounds in the neighboring province of Bukidnon, a police official said. Elizalde Tormis “Ka Jinggoy” Canete, the top leader of the NPA’s Pulang Bagani Command 1 – Southern Mindanao Regional Committee (PBC 1-SMRC), was released from a hospital in Don Carlos town Monday evening. He is currently detained at the Davao City Police Office (DCPO). Chief of Police Senior Supt Alexander Tagum told reporters Tuesday afternoon that warrants of arrest were issued by the three different branches of the Regional Trial Court against Cañete for 12 criminal cases, mostly for murder, serious illegal detention and robbery in band. No bail is recommended for most of the cases. Tagum said Cañete is also facing three attempted murder cases with bail and frustrated murder with around P80,000 bail recommended. “In 12 warrants of arrest for the cases he is facing in RTC XI, five of it are nonbailable,” he said. Cañete was re-arrested last May 12 while undergoing medical treatment of gunshot wounds sustained during an encounter with government forces on May 10 in Sitio Linao, Barangay Kipilas, Kitaotao. Cañete was first arrested in 2010 in an encounter with government forces. He was then allowed by the military to recover from his wounds sustained during an encounter in Montevista, Compostela Valley province but, he jumped bail in 2013 for the murder and arson cases filed against him. “We will immediately turn over all these warrants of arrest and expedite the transfer of the venue for custody of Kumander Jinggoy. As much as possible we will commit him,” Tagum said. Cañete will stay at the DCPO detention facility until a commitment order is issued by the court. Tagum said the police will implement full security measures commensurate for high-ranking NPA leaders such as Cañete, adding that visits from relatives will not be allowed except for the NPA leader’s mother. Tagum said Cañete was brought to the Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) for a medical check-up before he was brought to DCPO. Tagum said the arrest of Cañete is a big blow to the NPA operating in Davao region, even as the police official warned leftist groups against holding rallies that would disturb peace and

New bridge opens for faster Davao Norte-Davao Sur trip DAVAO CITY -- The Department of Public Works and Highways has opened to vehicles a six-lane bridge linking Davao del Sur and Davao del Norte constructed to speed up traffic in Davao region. Dean Ortiz, spokesperson of DPWH’s regional office here, said the widened Davao Bridge will decongest the Carlos P. Garcia Highway-Diversion Road. The bridge had originally two lanes before it was widened to four. The new widening made it a six-lane bridge complementing the six-lane diversion road. The widened bridge will help decongest the major city thoroughfares and also complement

the Talomo-Puan Bypass Road providing an easier access for vehicles coming from Davao del Sur going to Davao del Norte and vice-versa. Ortiz said the project with a budget of P345 million took three years because of right-of-way issues and technical problems. Before the expansion works began in 2015, the two-lane bridge became a bottleneck as the diversion road was widened. President Rodrigo Duterte and DPWH Secretary Mark Villar attended the formal opening of the bridge with a drive-through of the newly completed span. See opens, page 11

State college in DavOr now a university DAVAO CITY -- President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday signed Republic Act 11033 converting the 28-year old Davao Oriental State College of Science and Technology (DOSCST) in Mati City, Davao Oriental into the Davao Oriental State University. This has brought to three the number of state-run universities in Davao Region. The other two universities in the region are University of Southeastern Philippines with main campus located in Barrio Obrero and two other campuses in Mintal, Davao City and Tagum City, and the University of the Philippines-Mindanao in Mintal in Davao City.

RA 11033 was authored by Davao Oriental 2nd District Rep. Joel Mayo Z. Almario and Senator Joel Villanueva. “This is in recognition of the institution’s valuable role in molding professionals and experts who have contributed to the advancement of Davao Region and the rest of Mindanao,” Duterte said in his speech in Malacañang. The President hopes that the country’s newest university will continue to take part in nation building by offering advanced technological instruction and “by pursuing highly specialized research programs in various fields of science and technology.”

29 May 2018 - The Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC) takes a leap as it embraces its new role as the Philippines’ Global MSME Academy, by virtue of a Department Order (DO) issued and signed by Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez on April 18, 2018. The order designates PTTC as a Center dedicated to the administration, development and conduct of trade-related training and management of facilities to support the requirements of globalizing industries and services most especially the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Bureaus and offices within the DTI and all its attached agencies are enjoined to integrate their MSME-related training programs and projects with PTTC. Fully dedicated to this commitment, PTTC created Strategic Business Units (SBUs) and customized its programs on three major industries – processed food, services, and consumer goods, and categorized by MSME levels - foundation, intermediate and advanced courses. From the foundation courses on business management, finance and marketing, and production management, each SBU has a focused training pathway with specialized course modules to address expansion in the domestic market and lead MSMEs to gain access to market compliance and internationalization. PTTC also aligns its Entrepreneurship training programs for the youth, women and Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in tandem with other institutions providing capacity-building programs for these focused sectors. “MSMEs need to be inspired then nurtured to cope with the ever-changing

environment, where survival somehow depends on knowledge, skills and attitude. Partnerships and collaboration with international content providers as well as homegrown experts shall be maximized to enable PTTC to address a wider range of training needs of MSMEs,” said PTTC Executive Director Nestor P. Palabyab. Local partners include The Philippine MICE Academy, The Philippine Center on Entrepreneurship Go Negosyo, Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) Foundation Inc., World Trade Center, and Center for Future Leadership while International partner institutions are Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO), International Trade Center (ITC) Geneva, Switzerland, Association of Overseas Technical Scholarship (Japan), Leipzig University, Germany’s Hinrich Foundation, and British Council of the Philippines. Apart from these partnerships, PTTC also collaborates with e-learning institutions such as the ITC-SME Trade Academy, ASEAN SME Academy, and World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Academy for online training courses in finance, human resource,

based on results of material testing at the Metals Industry Research and Development Center (MIRDC) in Taguig City on May 11, an accredited testing center of the Bureau of Product Standards (BPS). A team from DTI Agusan del Sur office inspected on Tuesday the two stores in neighboring towns of San Francisco and Rosario listed in the PISI report where owners failed to present PS licenses supposed to be provided either by their distributor and manufacturer in Davao City. The store owners went to see Baron and submitted the Product Standard Certificates they obtained through email from the Davao Mighty Steel in Davao City, the manufacturer of the questionable steel bars. For the meantime, the store owners were allowed to continue selling the steel bars while waiting for the results of BPS material testing expected to come out in a month. The steel bars tested at the MIRDC were taken from the hardware stores in five areas in Mindanao in a random “test buy” conducted by the Philippine Iron and Steel Institute, Inc (PISI) on April 24-26 in the wake of complaints they received from their members and customers. Results of the PISI findings were submitted to DTI Undersecretary Ruth Castelo, head of the agency’s Consumer Protection Group, whom they asked for a joint market monitoring and standards enforcement. PISI has also recommended BPS to conduct immediate audit and issue show cause orders to manufacturers that produced and sold these substandard steel bars. The store owner in San Francisco, who asked not to be named, admitted they had not secured PS licenses from their suppliers of construction materials they sold to their customers. He however hinted that the crackdown on substandard steel bars might have something to do with the stiff competition between two manufacturers in Davao City- Steel Asia and Davao Mighty Steel (DMS). He said most of the hardware stores in many towns of this province prefer buying steel bars made by DMS from a distributor in Davao City QX Enterprises because they are cheaper by P10 per length.

arrived in Marawi by car from Iligan City, where he and his driver, Joshua Otadoy, had to pass checkpoints put up by government forces on strategic areas going to Marawi. Marawi City is about 850 kilometers south of Manila, in the province of Lanao del Sur in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Before they proceeded to Marawi, Liwanag and Otadoy donned their bullet proof vests and steel helmets for their protection since they were in a war zone, where stray bullets fly and zoom anytime of the day or night. Wh i l e appro a ch i ng Marawi, they could hear the rattling sounds of gunfire from various calibers, including cannons and machine guns. Liwanag immediately called dzBB in Quezon City to make his first on-the-spot broadcast of the ongoing firefight. He knew beforehand how dangerous and risky his assignment was but he was determined to fulfill his job as a reporter. “I prayed to God, morning, noon and night to protect me from harm, and the Lord heard and answered my prayers Thank you, Lord!” he said. “During the five-month Marawi siege, I covered the gun battles for four and a half months, my office gave me a weeklong leave twice to visit my family in Metro Manila, but continued to monitor the situation daily during my vacation so I would be updated of the latest news,” Liwanag said. During the Marawi siege, Liwanag reported blowby-blow accounts of the fighting live on radio and TV on real time, tailing government troops during heavy fighting, finding himself in the line of fire. Adam Har vey, radio broadcaster for the Australian Broadcasting Company, was the first journalist wounded during the Marawi siege. Harvey was wounded in the neck while covering the fighting. He was rushed to the hospital and was pronounced out of danger. The war had practically ruined the once beautiful and scenic Marawi City. However, rehabilitation of the city has been ongoing since its liberation from the terror attacks. There were reports that

Thursday, May 31, 2018 foreign-looking terrorists have participated in the fighting, including some operating as snipers. With today’s modern technology through the internet, people across the country and around the world were able to listen over the radio or saw the fighting including the “surgical airstrikes” by government forces against the Maute terrorists holed up in tall concrete buildings in Marawi City, on televisions, and mobile phones in real time, right in their living rooms. Liwanag was no stranger covering the war. He covered the bloody Zamboanga siege mounted by elements of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) in 2013. Other Manila-based journalists who likewise covered the Marawi siege were Manny Mogato of Reuters, a 2018 Pulitzer winner in journalism, Jim Gomez of the Associated Press (AP), Sandra Aguinaldo, Jun Veneracion, Macky Pulido, and Emil Sumangil all of GMA 7. Also on the front line were Chiara Zambrano, Jeff Canoy, George Cariño, and Rod Gagalac of ABS-CBN TV/DZMM radio and Ed Estabillo, to name a few. During the five-month siege, most of Marawi City’s commercial area was destroyed. The government’s counter offensives had resulted in the killing of two top terrorist leaders, Isnilon Hapilon and Omar Maute on Oct. 16 last year. The following day, President Rodrigo R. Duterte declared that Marawi City was “liberated from terrorists influence.” Six days later or on Oct. 23, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana formally announced that the Marawi siege had ended. The fivemonth fighting had resulted in the killing of 974 Maute terrorists, and the capture of 12 militants, including one foreigner. On the side of the government, 168 soldiers were killed, including 12, who were killed accidentally by friendly fire, and some 1,400 others were wounded. Also during the same period, 87 civilians were killed, 40 of whom died due to various ailments. With tears in his eyes, Liwanag emotionally recalled “how our soldiers made their great sacrifice by risking their lives in defending the country from terrorists’ attacks.” “I salute our brave soldiers and I continue my prayers for them,” Liwanag said. Like the raw courage of the soldiers, journalists - who covered the Marawi fighting - were unfazed in the face of the grave danger to their lives, as their mission was to broadcast and write for the world to know about the wicked truth of terrorism that continued to wreck mankind today.

Tanduay made a strategic alliance with companies in the United States to expand its distribution capacity.

We share these achievements for Tanduay with our Filipino consumers, because it is through their constant support for the brand that we have continued to reach new heights over the past 30 years,” Bong Tan shares.

facilities they will prioritize, how they will take the leads in project management, in procurement, in financial management, in quality control, and project monitoring,” said Rollo. He added that the approach has been proven effective in post-conflict situations in Afghanistan,

Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. For his part, chairman of the Marawi Sultanate League, Sultan Nasser Sampaco explained the role of the league in Marawi’s reconstruction and rehabilitation. “Our major purpose in the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Marawi as traditional leaders is to guide our developer and our Task Force Bangon Marawi in arriving at a meaningful comprehensive master development plan that will not compromise our cultural heritage and religious beliefs,” he said. The project also aims to address livelihood needs by providing trainings in construction, small-scale enterprise development, and project, business, and financial management to strengthen the livelihood capacity of communities. Components and proposed activities under the project include shelter support, livelihood support, community development support, infrastructure support, cultural and postconflict support, and community mapping of tenurial rights. Meanwhile, the Japanese government’s involvement comes in the form of 1.1 billion Japanese yen or P500 million, which, Rollo said, will go directly to the people through the communitydriven approach.
