Group seeks consumer protection vs toxic goods AS shoppers start to make a beeline for popular Christmas goodies such as children’s toys, a public interest advocacy group called on both the government and the industry to ensure that consumers are protected against hazardous goods this festive season. In observance of the Consumer Welfare Month (CWM) this October, the EcoWaste

Coalition emphasized the bigger responsibility of the government and the industry in guaranteeing that consumers are protected against abuses and imbalances in the marketplace. The theme for this year’s CWM, according to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), is “Consumer Protection: A Shared Responsibility.” “While protecting the con-

sumer interest is indeed a shared responsibility, we believe that the government and the industry have the greater obligation of upholding the legally guaranteed rights of the Filipino consumer considering the powers and resources these two other pillars of consumer protection have,” said Thony Dizon, Chemical Safety Campaigner, EcoWaste Coalition.

According to the “Handbook on ASEAN Consumer Protection Laws and Regulations,” consumer protection pertains “to the measures that aim to protect and promote the well-being and/or financial interests of consumers.” “Consumer protection measures, including consumer education, mobilization and See SEEKS, page 11

UN-HABITAT sustainable livelihood support launched MARAWI CITY--The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UNHabitat) has launched here its P44.2 million livelihood project, complementing its shelter rehabilitation project for the internally displaced persons (IDPs). The six-month project aims to provide sustainable livelihood assistance to 4,000 IDP-households and capacitate them with skills in agri-business, enterprise, establishing markets, among

THERE has been considerable research conducted over the past 30 years providing extensive knowledge regarding early intervention for young readers. In the intermediate level, a shift from learning to read to reading to learn typically occurs. Teachers at this level must be able to detect when a student is not thriving and intervene before the gap widens even more. Therefore, teachers at this level are often faced with the challenge of providing intervention for those who have not been properly remediated. It is necessary therefore to determine appropriate methods to

intervene with pupils in the intermediate level before they reach Grade 7 and are then faced with multitude of academic and social challenges. For us to realize a dramatic increase in English literacy, reading intervention must focus on vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. DepEd in 2012 created Memorandum 244 declaring November as the National Reading Month of every year and November 25 as the Nationwide Araw ng Pagbasa. This is in support of DepEd’s Every Child A Reader program. Reading is vital to functioning effectively in a literate society. Among the important skills humans can acquire is their ability to read.

How Recent Protests Have Impacted Hong Kong Retail

AS anti-China protests drag into their fourth month, Chinese tourists, feeling the animosity from tourists, are not going to Hong Kong anymore. In July, mainland Chinese tourist arrivals fell 5.5 percent year-over-year to $4.16 million, accounting for 80.1 percent of total tourist arrivals in the city. Retailers such as cosmetics chain Sasa International and jewelry chain Chow Sang Sang have fallen 23

percent and 24.5 percent, respectively. Department store chain Sogo saw a 37 percent decline in foot traffic as it shut down its flagship store in Causeway Bay multiple times, due to the protests. The Hong Kong International Airport, previously one of the world’s busiest airports, canceled flights twice and flight ticket prices have been hammered as protesters attempt to block the roads.

Protests aside, the Chinese yuan has also weakened and Chinese consumers are shifting luxury purchases to mainland China, where consumption taxes have been lowered and e-commerce is more prevalent. The situation has gotten so bad for the retail industry that Hong Kong retail sales fell 11.4 percent in value this past July, the steepest drop in three years. Notably, 20 to 30 percent of retailers have begun to

JEROME DE LA FUENTE

send full-time employees on unpaid leave, after already laying off part-time workers. The Hong Kong Retail Management Association has already reached out to landlords to ask for a six-month 50 percent rent reduction to help small retail businesses weather the storm.

Unruffled

No one is clean after all

VALENCIA City — “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone” — John 8:7

AFTER a series of Senate inquir y on the alleged “recycling” of confiscated shabu, PNP Chief Gen. Oscar Albayalde is now in hot water of being dragged into the drug trading mess. Albayalde might end up his retiring too soon as pressures on him get hotter by the day — on the allegation that he protected ‘Ninja Cops’ during his time as PNP provincial director in Pampanga. But for one senator, Gen. Oscar Albayalde still

has still the time to regain public trust before he officially steps down on November 8 - his retirement day. Sen. Panfilo Lacson defended Albayalde saying that no one has come clean in public service. Perhaps the former PNP Chief-turned- Senator has this biblical verse mind: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast the first stone. Investigations are now u nderway by the Senate and Interior Secretar y Eduardo Año before deciding on whether or not to fire Albayalde over his alleged involvement in

the so-called ninja cops issue. Asked to air his thoughts on allegations against Albayalde, President Duterte, now back from Russia said he would rather not “preempt” the investigation being conducted by the DILG chief. Duterte expressed confidence that Año would be “in his proper equanimity” when he begins the investigation. Meanwhile, Duterte has admitted that dismissing a top cop should be done “for a good reason” and with “enough proof.” Albayalde has expressed hope that the allegations

Ruffy Magbanua

hurled against him would not affect Duterte’s trust and confidence in him or the campaign against illegal drugs. It would be up to the President to decide on his fate, he says. That said, Albayalde is no exception to the rule. Like anyone of us, he is a sinner and sinners abound elsewhere and everywhere. Shalom! (ruff y44_ ph2000@yahoo.com)

Letters from Davao

What’s happening in Davao del Norte

MINDANAO’S biggest dollar-earning agricultural industry is (cavendish) bananas. At an average of one employee for every 1-1/2 hectares, not counting the administrative staff, the industry accounts for the biggest number of labor force. Last year’s January to November export revenues contributed $1.345-billion to the country’s gross domestic product. These are significant contributions to the country as a whole but the events that happened recently is threatening the industry to extinction. The cultivation of cavendish bananas in the Philippines was pioneered by the late Antonio Floirendo, Sr. circa 19t9. Taking advantage of the government offer to pioneers in Mindanao to develop family and corporate farms, Floirendo who opted to settle in Davao saw exciting potentials in agriculture. He leased 1,020 hectares in Davao del Norte. He saw this while he was setting up his business as a dealer of Ford Motors, the first outside of Luzon. Before he ventured into cavendish Floirendo started off with abaca in

Marapangi, Toril, Davao City and then expanded in Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte. Abaca fibers were the best seller in the world market then. But in the midst 1960s abaca was hit by a double whammy: dreaded mosaic disease wiped out abaca and synthetic nylon fiber, a byproduct of oil, emerged and it was cheaper and can withstand any weather condition. This prompted Floirendo to shift to cavendish bananas. When the Bureau of Corrections offered part of its land grant for development, Tagum Agricultural Development Corporation made a bid and the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee then chaired by the late Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino favored the offer of TADECO over Gomez Cellulose. Floirendo’s TADECO proceeded to undertake a yeoman’s job of transforming the swampland of BUCOR to the world’s best producer of bananas in terms of best practices and in a number of boxes harvested per hectare. Banana cultivation, however, is not a walk in the park. Despite its contribu-

tion to the economy and labor force, the government has not created a special agency that would look into the needs of the industry. The biggest challenge that the industry faces these days is the emergence of fusarium wilt which had wiped out the entire banana plantations in Panama and threatened other cavendish banana producers in Latin American countries. By the latest count, over 15,000 hectares of banana plantations which are mostly grown by small growers had been destroyed by the Panama disease which is caused by soil-borne fungi. Corporate farms like TADECO, Sumifru and Dole had so far managed to keep their plantations away from the menace of fusarium wilt by establishing quarantine stations in all ingress and egress of their plantations. The Department of Agriculture also had raised warning on the lethal disease by structly enforcing all available options to control the dreaded fungal menace. But all is not well in Davao del Norte. In strange

Jun Ledesma

defiance and arrogance, the newly elected governor Edwin Jubahib himself led a phalanx of government personnel with a number of provincial engineers’ heavy equipment with a retinue of military contingent purportedly to dismantle the quarantine stations. This is the second attempt at forcibly removing the quarantine stations. When he was the Chief of Staff of then Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez, Jubahib also led a contingent of DPWH and police contingent allegedly on orders of a congressman from Surigao del Sur. Why the manic move to focus on TADECO which has a joint venture agreement with BUCOR to set up and develop a banana plantation in the later’s land grant defies imagination. Both attempts at dismantling the quarantine stations did not materialize despite the show of force. TADECO employees are out to deter See DAVAO, page 11

DA intensifies agri-support to MisOcc, turns over P88.8-M farm machineries, equip’t

OROQUIETA CITY--In support to the development of the agriculture industry in Misamis Occidental, the Department of Agriculture Regional Field Office 10 through OIC-Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado turned over to Provincial Governor Philip T. Tan the P88.8-million worth farm machineries, equipment and other agri interventions. T he mass tu r nove r includes 20 units 4WD tractor-36Hp, 21 units rice combine harvester, 33 units transplanter – walk behind, 20 units mobile rice mill, hand tractors and other crop production interventions. Of the P88.8-million machineries and equipment, the P74.16-million are provisions from the 2018 unprogrammed funds, while the remaining agriinterventions are provisions from the 2019 regular programs under the agency’s banner programs: rice, livestock, high value crops and organic agriculture. Said machineries and equipment warehoused in Panaon town will be withdrawn by respective farmer-beneficiaries. “DA ende avored to provide assistance to our

farmers to develop the agriculture industry in Misamis Occidental,” said Dir. Collado. He further said that the farm mechanization equipment will lower the production cost of at least P3.00 per kilo as computed, [so that instead of P12.00 per kilo, it will reduce to P9.00 production cost per kilo. For his part, newly elected Misamis Occidental Governor Philip T. Tan thanked the DA, through Dir. Collado, for the priority support extended to the

province, especially for the rice farmers. With these equipment and facility, Tan expects that farmers will no longer say “failure” or “short” in production and income. Tan said his first concern when he seated as governor was the rice situation in the province with a rice area of 8,000 hectares with an average production of 4.5 metric tons per hectare which is considered low. Of the said area, only 1,000 hectare is planted with hybrid rice. For this, they plan to expand and

boost rice production and pour in more interventions like rice drying facility. Likewise, provide marketing support by allowing the provincial government to buy the produced palay of farmers. Aside from rice and corn, the province will also focus on three commodities such as cacao, coffee, and abaca. Moreover, Tan said they will also be prioritizing provincial road concreting for the next three years through the Philippine Rural Development Project of DA. # (RREPaasa)

to deter the highhanded enforcement of an order which is patently illegal and plainly a display of idiocy. But it is not only TADECO and its workers who will suffer if in case those sanitary measures will be removed. There are several corporate and cooperative farms in Davao del Norte alone. If Governor Jubahib thought that fusarium wilt will only put to risk TADECO alone then maybe he must be off his rockers. The Philippine banana industry has regained its position as the second biggest exporter of cavendish bananas in the world. Thanks to the joint efforts of the people in the industry. We have the biggest share of Japan consumer market and we enjoy a preferential trade in China. I would attribute this too to the inroads of Duterte’s brand of diplomacy. As I write this, the President is hobnobbing with Pres. Vladimir Putin of Russia and expect that new markets for Philippine bananas will be in the works. The success of the banana industry translates to the economic stability and development of the Davao region which has the distinction of registering the highest growth of the economy in the entire country. The national government, particularly the Department of Interior and Local government should look closely at the behavior of the officials of the provincial government of Davao del Norte. The military and police authorities too should investigate the presence of their personnel in TADECO instead of running after the New Peoples Army which are still harassing private companies and government road contractors. The decadence has become disturbing. Tagum City, which is also the seat of power of the provincial authority, has become the scam capital of

the Philippines. Just last week a manager of one of about a dozen get-rich-quick Ponzi pyramiding schemes was shot dead. There were sevceral other killings attributed to the business scam which were reported to be carried out by investors who were hoodwinked to place their money in the shady transactions. The problem persists because the local government is perceived to be tolerating the grand estafa. In fact one of the firms is said to be operated by a ranking official of a politician. KAPA, the grandest of them all is said to have started in General Santis City but it flourished in Davao del Norte because of the obvious tolerance of local authorities. Pres. Rodrigo Duterte must crack the whip on DILG, AFP and DILG to address the virus of insanity that is devouring Davao del Norte and may lead to a veritable banana republic where people may eventually have to subsist only on saba bananas.

creation is observed. The organizers hope that the climate strike has inspired everyone to join the fight against climate change in their own ways and live a more sustainable and environmentfriendly lifestyle. The September 28 climate strike came on the heels of the imposition of the “Absolute Prohibition of the Entry of Bottled Water to the XU Campus” and a series of cleanup drives and information campaigns in line with the International Coastal Clean-up Day led by the XU McKeough Marine Center.

responsibility, among other things, to be more vigilant and inquisitive about the products and services we select and pay for, as well as our responsibility to be mindful of the environmental impacts of our consumption choices and what we throw away during this joyful season, the group said. Dizon specifically cautioned consumers against the careless purchase of popular holiday products like children’s toys, gift items, and yuletide decorations that may pose hazards to health, life or property. According to the EcoWaste Coalition, toys not compliant with safety standards may contain substances of concern like cadmium, lead and mercury, brominated flame retardants

and phthalates, which can pose chemical hazards, especially to young children. Some gift items, which are often sold unlabeled, may not be safe for children, pregnant women and other vulnerable groups due to their chemical and physical properties, while decorations like substandard Christmas lights may result in electric shock and may even trigger fires, the group said. CWM is observed every October according to Proclamation No. 1098 issued in 1997 by then President Fidel Ramos “to set aside a period during which concerted efforts for the assertion of consumer rights may be thoroughly discussed, planned and carried out.” /ECOWASTE. org

office. “Today, with Xavier University’s partnership, we are taking the peacebuilding work of the British Council in the Philippines to a new level by introducing two new components to SCJC: Art of Peace and Transforming PARTNERSHIP TOWARDS PEACE.

Local Peace and Order Councils,” Prudencio said. The project uses arts and culture education to “complement institutional and structural approaches to peacebuilding programming, in areas such as confidence building, skills training, self-expression, and intergroup understanding and tolerance.” The SCJC project will be pivoted in the Bangsamoro region. The details of the project will be rolled out soon by the British Council and the involved XU units. Prudencio added: “Arts and culture are regarded as a more neutral ground for mutual understanding than explicit peacebuilding activities because they are able to bring people from different groups together around a shared interest and goal, rather than around issues related to the conflict. They also provide a form of expression and a creative reflection.” In April this year, the British Council published a report that examined the value of culture in post-conflict recovery. The study drew on the experiences of Rwanda, Colombia, and Syria, highlighting the contribution of arts and cultural programs in post-conflict communities, through therapy, reconciliation, and civil society strengthening. “We also want to further understand the role of culture in promoting resilience in conflictaffected areas, and use this research to develop new theories of change,” Prudencio said. Xavier Ateneo was chosen by the British Council as a partner for this project because of the university’s “facilitation of interfaith dialogues, promotion of peace education, leadership in education training for Muslim teachers and Islamic values, and integration of culture and development in your social outreach programmes.” Ravanera believes that the arts can bring people together and result in a deeper cultural understanding. He also regarded this project as an opportunity to work with local governments and See PROJECT, page 11
