Army captures NPA fighter behind burning of trucks in MisOr town C A G AYA N D E O R O CITY-- Soldiers under the Army’s 58th Infantry Battalion (58IB) captured on Thursday a suspected New People’s Army (NPA) combatant after a 15-minute firefight in the hinterlands of Barangay Bulahan in Claveria, Misamis Oriental. In a statement, the 58IB said “James”, 19, was one of the rebels who set ablaze several vehicles owned by Del Monte Philippines on October 6 in Claveria.

Soldiers also seized an anti-personnel mine and a .38-caliber pistol following the encounter. According to 58IB, James worked for a unit of the NPA’s North Central Mindanao Regional Committee, and was recruited when he was only 17 years old. He is a resident of Barangay Farmbugas, Claveria. The Army battalion said the captured rebel “revealed that they burned the equipment of DMPI” because

the company rejected the rebels’ “extortion” activities, adding that James also disclosed the names of other rebels who took part in destroying the civilian properties. “According to the new Anti-Terrorism Bill of 2020, persons will be held liable for those who continue to support and facilitate of any means to the CPP NPA terrorist,” the 58IB said. Lt. Col. Ricky L. Canatoy, 58IB commander, called on

the remaining members of the NPA to surrender “and live a peaceful, normal life and to avoid the unnecessary deaths because of the crossfires”. “However, for those who continue to spoil the peace we will continue to use force to protect the people,” Canatoy warned. He said the captured rebel will be turned over to the police for the appropriate filing of cases. (PNA)

Proposed meat inspection code draws mixed reactions

Newly constructed 1,174.02 square meter Solar Drying Pavement inside the NFA compound with a maximum drying capacity of 400 bags. photo supplied

NFA Misasmis Oriental Ready for Massive Palay Procurement Cagayan de Oro – Under the Rice Tariffication Law (RA 11203), the NFA is no longer allowed to import rice. However, it is mandated to maintain sufficient buffer rice stock through procurement solely from local farmers. NFA MisOr embarked on this new task and sees to it that all its logistics, funds and personnel are always ready to be able to achieve the

required 15-30 day buffer stock. As to logistics, Regional Director John Robert R. Hermano was instrumental in the approval and completion of the newly constructed 1,174.02 square meter solar drying pavement of NFA MisOr which can accommodate 400 bags of palay for drying. The Solar drying pavement is of great help to the province

as well as to the farmers who are welcome to use the said drying pavement for free if they will sell their produce to NFA. At present NFA MisOr is intensifying the procurement of palay from farmers of Misamis Oriental and other municipalities of Bukidnon ie: Talakag, Baungon, Manolo Fortich, Libona and Malitbog which are under the operational

jurisdiction of NFA MisOr.. We buy farmers’ palay at a competitive price of P 19.00 per kilogram clean and dry (14% MC). We urged farmers to sell to NFA at least a portion of their produce if not all, to help us achieve our required buffer stocks intended during emergencies like COVID pandemic and occurrence of natural calamities (typhoon, floods, earthquake and etc.).

CAGAYAN de Oro City-The proposed meat inspection code of this city drew mixed reactions from a number of city councilors, a report reaching the Mi8ndanao Daily News online said yesterday. Councilor Maria Lourdes S. Gaane, chair of the City Council committee on health and health insurance, said the proposed Meat Inspection Code of Cagayan de Oro is being scrutinized by the joint committees on health and on agriculture chaired by Councilor Jay R. Pascual. In her special report during the 59th regular session of the 19th City Council presided over by Vice Mayor Raineir Joaquin V. Uy, Councilor Gaane said the committees convened to draft an ordinance creating a City Meat Services Division (CMIS) under the City Veterinary Office. This is in response to the recommendation of the National Meat Inspection Services (NMIS) for the city to implement R.A. 10536, otherwise known as the National Meat Inspection Code of the Philippines. “The ordinance invited a lot of observations and reservations from our col-

leagues such that the presiding officer, upon motion from the floor, decided to defer the matter for further study,” she reported. Gaane recalled that one of the provisions of the draft ordinance is the requirement for lechoneros to bring all hogs for slaughter to the city slaughterhouse. She said the capabilities of the city slaughterhouse, managed by the Mega Farms Integrated Agro-Livestock, Inc. under a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the city government for 25 years, was also questioned. “The MOA itself has been recommended for review … penalties for violations of the ordinance are also being scrutinized,” she stressed. Gaane said the committees are still ironing out other “contentious issues”. In response to the recommendation of Councilor Gaane, the City Council adopted a resolution reconstituting the 19th City Council as a Committee of the Whole to study and review the existing contract for the redevelopment of the city slaughterhouse, and authorizing Vice Mayor Uy to designate the presiding officer.

ILIGAN CITY, Oct. 9 (PIA) - Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) has stepped up its programs to help its members and pensioners cope up with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. GSIS Iligan Branch Manager Alexis Arumpac shared in a virtual press briefing that GSIS has opened its COVID-19 Emergency Loan program in response to the President Rodrigo Duterte’s proclamation extending the state of calamity throughout the country. Under this program, qualified borrowers with an existing emergency loan may borrow up to P40,000 to pay off their previous emergency loan balance and still receive a maximum net amount of P20,000. Those without existing emergency loan may apply for P20,000. “This loan is non-renewable, payable in 36 equal monthly installments at an

Arumpac further said they also re-opened the GSIS Financial Assistance Loan (GFAL), a loan program to save its members from the bondage of debt. “In this program, GSIS allows the members to

consolidate and transfer their existing loan balances amounting to as much P500,000. GSIS will pay the outstanding balance of that member to the lenders. In turn, the members will pay the balance to GSIS at a lower monthly amortization and interest rate of 6% per annum for a period of six years. In compliance with the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act, the State pension fund is also granting a 60-day moratorium on loan payments of its active members and pensioners starting November. Arumpac said the collections of loan payments for the months of November and December 2020 shall be deferred and resumed on January 1, 2021. Moreover, GSIS suspended the annual personal information revalidation (APIR) for pensioners, a process of renewing the status of pensioners to prove See BEEFS, page 11

BDO Trust Market Sense webinar

Lawmaker says continued gov’t spending key in economic recovery amid COVID-19 DESPITE the fact that economic growth and activity have slowed down as a result of the persisting COVID-19 pandemic, government spending should still continue to fast track economic recovery. According to economist and Marikina (2nd District) Rep. Stella Luz Quimbo, the government needs to spend even in the midst of a crisis in order to boost confidence levels of the public, especially businesses. “In a bad economic crisis, confidence level is very low—confidence of consumers, confidence of your workers. Everyone’s afraid. Fear and anxiety have set in. Even business owners, they don’t want to invest. In fact, they’d rather close shop. So this is a situation where government must step in. If the government is not spending enough, then our confidence will be deflated,” Rep. Quimbo said as a guest in an episode of Market Sense, a monthly webinar series organized by the BDO Trust Group that combines the latest economic and

market developments with seasoned expert advice to help investors take control of their investments and grow their wealth. “We need government to spend because there’s a lot of market failures arising from the pandemic,” she added. Rep. Quimbo is one of the principal authors of House Bill No. 6815, or the Accelerated Recovery and Investments Stimulus for the Economy of the Philippines (ARISE Philippines) bill which was already approved by the Lower House. The bill calls for the release of P1.3 trillion in economic stimulus package to jumpstart the economy’s recovery from the pandemic in the next four years. It aims to offer various forms of assistance to micro, small and medium enterprises and other sectors adversely affected by COVID-19, and targets to generate around 1.5 million jobs through various infrastructure projects and financial assistance to small businesses from 2020 to 2023. Projections in 2020 and

hopes for recovery in 2021 Meanwhile, BDO Trust Group is looking at a gross domestic product (GDP) contraction of 9.6% in the 3rd quarter, and a 6% contraction in the 4th quarter to bring its full year 2020 GDP projection to negative 8.3%. Nonetheless, to echo

Rep Quimbo’s call for more government sp ending, BDO Chief Investment Officer Frederico “Fritz” Ocampo said the country is poised for a recovery of 6.6% in 2021, as more government spending enters the economy. “It would allow the economy to recover, and that would be the 2021

stor y,” he said. “We’re facing a recession, which could be the deepest in 35 years. Therefore, the growth drivers were hurt a bit, especially consumer demand, which is 72% of the economy, as well as investments from large local corporates and SMEs. But as the economy slowly opens up once again, you’ll

see those drivers bouncing back.” He expressed belief that the Philippines can stand out once again in the global stage, anchored on the country’s young population. “The Philippines had 21 consecutive years of economic expansion, surpassed only by Australia. That is a testament to the resiliency and strength of the Philippine economy. While the growth drivers were hurt during the pandemic, the strengths of the Philippine economy remained intact. For instance, our young population is still there,” Ocampo stressed. “In a pandemic, you could see the value of that young population in terms of adaptability to the digital economy, in terms of proficiency in the use of the internet. Later on, these young population, many of them would be creating their own companies and become entrepreneurs. Many jobs were lost during this pandemic. To cope, our young population would be creating their own companies.”

For feeding the hungry, now facing unimaginable crisis “LET a hundred flowers bloom and a thousand hearts content,” this dictum speaks well of the seventeen (17) dynamic women of Maranding in Lanao del Norte who in 1996 organized the Maranding Women Investors Multi-Purpose Cooperative (MWIMPC) with an initial capital of P19,500. The blooming of the flowers, no matter how beautiful, pales in comparison to the blooming of the women of Maranding whose number has since multiplied now to more than 11,000 members and whose initial capital of P19,500.00 has now reached P196,000,000. Wow, so amazing as is a concrete manifestation of women empowerment and drawing those in the margins into the mainstream of development processes by harnessing their collective potentials through cooperativism. What t hes e women envision is just to have a stable and dynamic cooperative with a heart in a progressive society, yet, it is that simple vision that did shape the future for them

in the island of Mindanao which has been described as “a major performer and a primary contributor to the country’s productive capacities.” However, it is a “development characterized by exploitation, where dominant classes, distant elites and rapacious transnational corporations deplete the island’s resources leaving the majority of the population in poverty.” Mindanao, aptly called the “food basket” of the nation, oozes with abundant natural resources – vast agricultural lands, teeming fisheries, huge mineral deposits, rich in forest resources – yet, its six regions are suffering from high poverty gap ratios compared to the regions in Luzon and in the Visayas. The poor in Mindanao are the poorest through-out the nation and where 14 of the 25 poorest provinces are found. However, the lethal combination of poverty, conflict and gender inequalities have no match against the determined women who are working together to reclaim back the future for their

children. They are now serving notice to one and all that they have awakened and that, they will not allow anymore poverty to strip them of their God-given dignity. Through their cooperative, they are collectively harnessing their potentials, energies and experiences. In the world of cooperativism, no one shall be left behind – such is the spirit that drove them to help the victims of the Marawi Seige three years ago. They could not accept that the internally displaced persons in the war torn areas during the height of the Siege would just be eating cartoons or malongs. So on March 23,2017, the Maranding Women Investors Multi-Purpose Cooperative led by the General Manager herself, Marilou Banding divided themselves into two groups to distributed food and cash for the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program. The other group was led by Ms. Vanessa Benzon See FEEDING, page 11

Metrics that matter

EVERYDAY, we are being bombarded with negative news, gloomy forecasts, and government inefficiencies and ineffectiveness. If we are to believe everything that these naysayers are saying, it looks like the Philippines and the Filipinos can no longer recover from the ill effects of the pandemic. If we are to believe everything that we read and hear, it is very easy to be hopeless about the future. But is it really the case? Is our nation really in a deep hole that we cannot see sunshine in the near future? Last week, I was fortunate to have attended 4 different webinars that touched on the Philippine economy and financial management during this pandemic. All the speakers are economics and financial management practitioners and all are apolitical so I consider their views solid and objective. It’s refreshing to hear from all the four speakers what is being downplayed in the news by media and even by our government... that the Philippines is in a good position to rebound from the pandemic. That we have a healthy and sound economic fundamental enough for us to recover post-COVID. While acknowledging the difficulties and challenges brought about by the prolonged pandemic, these

experts cited the different factors that should make us confident about our future amidst the pandemic. The different rating agencies such as S&P, Moody’s and Fitch gave the Philippines a Credit rating of BBB and an investment-grade with a positive and stable outlook. This allows our country to borrow money at lower interest rates and longer repayment periods. Very vital in funding the different recovery programs planned out by the government. The rate of increase in the prices of consumer goods and services remain within the desirable range, with the inflation rate hovering between 2.4%-2.7%. Low inflation is generally good for consumers, as it boosts purchasing power. More can be bought and be done for every peso that a Juan dela Cruz makes. Low inflation encourages savings and investments. These money activities are needed to pump up our economy. One of the interventions done by the government’s economic team is to maintain a low-interest-rate environment. When interest remains low, businesses needing funds to keep afloat or to grow can borrow more readily. Low-interest rates allow business borrowers to have more cash after their loan payments. Cash which

they can plow back to their businesses. This translates to business growth and to more jobs. More jobs mean more money activities for our faster recovery. While other currencies are depreciating in value, the Philippine Peso continues to be strong against the dollars this year. Bloomberg reports that the Philippine Peso is the best performing currency in Southeast Asia. Our strong Peso helped pushed down the prices of some of our basic goods as it made imported raw materials and other goods cheaper. This again equals to more money activities for the Filipinos. While we hear about OFWs repatriation, our OFW remittances continue to be strong now at around $18.6 billion. On a macro level, OFW remittances account for at least 10% of our country’s GDP. It is said to be the country’s secondlargest source of foreign capital. It is also a major source of private domestic consumption. The money goes straight to families and relatives to finance their basic needs such as See METRICS, page 11

DA official urges R-10 to step up efforts in championing adlay M A L AY BA L AY C I T Y, BUKIDNON, October 3 – The agriculture department in Northern Mindanao (DA-10) has been urged to strengthen its efforts of championing adlay, an indigenous crop being introduced as an alternative source of income and livelihood for farmers at the same time, a healthier staple food substitute. In a report by the Research Division presented to DA Undersecretary for Regulations Engr. Zamzamin L. Ampatuan, growing said commodity can generate about P100,000 net income per hectare from an average cost of production of P30,000-P35,000. Also known as Job’s tears, adlay is produced in about 570 hectares in Region 10, particularly in Bukidnon with major growing areas in Lantapan, Manolo Fortich, Impasug-ong, Talakag and Malaybalay City, even citing that former rebels in the latter site have taken interest in cultivating the crop. Adlay production takes about five to six months depending on elevation

and are being sold at a farmgate price of P50-100 per kilogram (kg) as seeds and P80-P100/kg as grits, with market outlets in the abovesaid producing areas, including the cities of Iligan and Valencia, Claveria town and even Metro Manila. “Isang issue na dapat nating tignan ay kung paano ang income niya [adlay] kung itatapat mo siya sa palay at mais,” the DA official remarked, adding that profit comparisons will help more farmer-producers come up with informed decisions to invest in growing adlay. As food source, adlay can be cooked similar like rice and corn. It is known to be good for diabetics, as it contains low glycemic index, while it can also be processed in making flour for bread, porridge, delicacies and wine. Further, it can also serve as fodder for livestock. With funding f rom DA-Bureau of Agricultural Research (DA-BAR), value-added products are also being developed using adlay ranging from breakfast cereals, wine, beauty soap, coffee, crispies and crunchy

bar. Noting that adlay is yet to break into the mainstream market, USec Ampatuan explained, that over time, the commodity will eventually become a food staple, not only for the health conscious or the high-end market, but for more Filipino people. “May market na ‘yan [adlay]. Maging trend sana ito kasi sa ngayon, curious pa lang tayo dito, but still, curiosity generates market,”

he asserted. Likewise, the agri official challenged DA-NorMin to position the commodity well, as talks for adlay to be adopted in DA’s organic agriculture program are in progress. “Our plan is to make this [adlay] as a flagship project, a potential organic and export commodity,” he continued. He also suggested for the food technologists of

DA-10’s Research Division to create dishes such as risotto and paella, utilizing adlay to possibly capture the foreign market, especially Europe. While factoring in the possibilities of a market for said commodity, the DA official also underscored thorough preparedness in terms of boosting adlay production. “Continue producing the [adlay] seeds. Paramihin na

ninyo iyan at maka-adopt sana ang iilang farmergroups na ang focus is seed production para mapromote talaga siya,” USec Ampatuan said. Meanwhile, DA-10 Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado expressed his gratitude for the DA undersecretary’s first ever visit to the region and allowing the team to showcase NorMin’s strides relative to the research and development initiatives on adlay. “Hopefully, next time, the group can discuss, not only adlay, but the agridevelopment of Region 10, as a whole, as we are the host of many agri-based companies. We are also major producers for cattle, swine and poultry, and almost all fruits and vegetables are likewise grown in NorMin,” the director responded. Capping the event, the DA official also visited the 403rd Infantry Brigade, one of the department’s partners in growing adlay, which are planted in the fields of Camp Osio Bahian in Impalambong, Malaybalay City. # (JLO)

Herbosa said the bank’s credit support to CSI, a subsidiary of Steel Asia Manufacturing Corporation, the country’s biggest steel manufacturer, would be a boon to the local construction industry and will help boost local steel production. “As the premier infrastructure bank of the country, financing projects that enable the local construction industry to be self-reliant in steel is a developmental priority, as it further improves the country’s infrastructure landscape,” Herbosa said. DBP is the eighth largest bank in the country in terms of assets and provides credit support to four strategic sectors of the economy – infrastructure and logistics; micro, small and medium enterprises; environment; social services and community development.

Under the agreement, the loan proceeds will be used to partially finance the Compostela Works Rolling Mill, with parent company, Steel Asia, investing the balance of the required total capital amounting to P8.3-billion. The mill is the seventh of SteelAsia in the country, in addition to its other facilities in Batangas, Carcar, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, and Bulacan. Herbosa said the mill, which started construction in 2019, is expected to meet the growing demands of the Visayas region, where there is limited supply of locallymanufactured products, while generating up to 3,000 direct and indirect jobs. He said the mill boasts of Italian engineering and technology and is more cost-efficient compared to foreign mills that export steel rebars to the country. “If we can boost the local production of construction supply materials, the country can lessen its dependence on imports, while stimulating the local economy amidst this national public health emergency,” Herbosa said.

DOST allots P170-M for 5 mobile food processing facilities By MA. CRISTINA ARAYATA

MANILA – The Departm e nt o f S c i e n c e a n d Technology (DOST) has allocated some PHP170 million to construct five units of mobile modular food processing facility (MMFPF) that will be deployed in four regions. In an interview with the Philippine News Agency on Sunday, DOST-Industrial Technology Development Institute’s (ITDI) food processing division head, Norbert Ambagan, said each mobile facility will be composed of several modules and will be deployed in areas where there is surplus production. The regions of Mimaropa, Western Visayas, Zamboanga and Northern Mindanao will each receive one unit of MMFPF. There will be an MMFPF for frying, drying, retort, spray drying, and aseptic. Ambagan said the latter will be placed in the ITDI office in Bicutan, Taguig. The DOST will still decide which kind of the MMFPF will be placed in the chosen regions. “An MMFPF will have the basic sections or modules, such as raw materials receiving and preparation, main processing, and packaging. It will also have the auxiliary modules for water supply, power supply, steam and air supply, and personnel room,” Ambagan said. The DOST, he said, eyes

the commencement of this project by January 2021. Farmers will be the main beneficiaries of this project. The DOST will still look for potential collaborators to operate the facility, according to Ambagan. “Collaborators can be an LGU (local government unit), a farmers cooperative, and even a state university or college,” said DOST-Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development executive director, Enrico Paringit, in a separate interview. “LGUs as recipient operator is possible if their location is suited for mobile processing, and if the LGU is committed to maintain the facility. Finding a suitable LGU partner will be part of the project” Paringit explained. Paringit added that the DOST is also considering local farmer cooperatives with high volume production, but are dealing with the high cost of transporting their goods. “If they (farmers) can’t move (their products), these will be spoiled,” DOST Secretary Fortunato de la Peña told PNA. De la Peña also clarified that using the mobile facility will not be free since these need to be sustained. “The DOST regional offices are now studying who are the potential collaborators,” he said.

7 Senator Go lauds holistic approach of BP2 program MANILA – Senator Christopher “Bong” Go commended the “Balik Probinsya, Bagong Pag-asa” (BP2) Council member-agencies for their continued commitment to providing economic opportunities and a ‘renewed hope’ of a better life for Filipinos who choose to return to the provinces. During a virtual awarding, which was held simultaneously in the different municipalities in Leyte province on September 29, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), together with BP2 partner agencies, extended livelihood assistance to the families and individuals who qualified for the first roll-out of the BP2 program last May 20, 2020. In a video message, Go re-affirmed the government’s commitment to ensure the quality of life of the beneficiaries of the BP2 program. “Hindi po kayo pababayaan ng gobyernong ito. Sisiguraduhin namin na mabibigyan kayo ng bagong pag-asa ng mas magandang kinabukasan kung pipiliin ninyong bumalik sa probinsya at magsimula muli doon,” he said. (The government will not neglect you. We will make sure that you will be given new hope for a brighter future if you choose to return to your province and start anew.) Go pledged to see to it that the beneficiary-families under the program receive the appropriate assistance they required, and emphasized the need for a holistic approach to ensure the successful implementation of BP2. “‘Ika nga ng ating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte (Like what President Rodrigo Duterte said) ‘if we give them hope, there is a promise for a better future’,” Go said. A total of 33 beneficiaries were provided with liveli-

hood starter kits through the DOLE’s Kabuhayan program so they may start in rice vending in their respective areas. “Sa pamamagitan ng BP2, babalansehin natin ang pag-unlad at paramihin pa ang mga oportunidad sa mga rehiyon,” Go said. (With the BP2, we will balance the development and generate more opportunities in the regions.) He said various partner government agencies under the BP2 like the Department of Trade and Industry, National Housing Authority, Department of Social Welfare and Development, among others, would assist the beneficiaries of the program. To date, the National Housing Authority, in partnership with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development, is developing a plan to build low-cost houses for qualified beneficiaries. The Department of Agrarian Reform is also preparing public lands nationwide that can be used for land distribution or housing projects. Meanwhile, beneficiaries wishing to explore livelihood opportunities in agriculture may also receive aid from the Department of Agriculture, subject to

assessment and qualification. “Sisiguraduhin namin na may kakayahan kayong magsimula at mag-palago ng kabuhayan nyo sa probinsya. Sana sa pamamagitan ng programang ito at iba pang mga ayuda, makapagsimula po kayong muli at matutupad na ang inyong pangarap sa buhay,” said Go. (We will make sure that you will have the capacity to start and build up your livelihood in the province. We hope that with this program and other government aid, you can start anew and attain your goals in life.) The senator also acknowledged the province of Leyte for taking on the challenge of participating in the pilot roll-out of the BP2 program. The BP2 program, of which Go is the main proponent, is a long-term plan by the government to de-

Social Commerce surges in Southeast Asia Orders via social media more than doubled, while gross merchandise value (GMV) jumped three-fold, a new study from iKala found Taiwan, 7th October 2020 – Growing digital usage, greater adoption of social shopping technologies and a global pandemic has accelerated social commerce in Southeast Asia, a new study by AI solutions firm iKala found. The study titled ‘The Rise of Social Commerce in Southeast Asia’ is based on a survey of 12,000 consumers and over 1,000 social sellers across Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines and Singapore, conducted in the first half of 2020. According to iKala, two things are happening at once: people are shopping more, and they’re shopping for more. Total social commerce orders in the first of 2020 more than doubled, while gross merchandise value (GMV) grew threefold across the region, as compared to the same period time last year.

trend—the remarkable rise of live-selling, or broadcasting of live videos featuring products. Overall, the number of live-sales in the region increased nearly 13% to 67%, thanks in part to shoppers in Singapore and Thailand who spent more time engaging with merchants and buying through live-streams. Shopping via live-sales is happening often, too. An analysis of repeat purchases found that consumers in Vietnam and Philippines typically make purchases via live sale twice a week, compared to their peers in Singapore who shop once a week on social media. However, shopping on social platforms is not without its challenges. The study found that trust, fraud and a lack of familiarity are proving to be big barriers for retailers in the region. “Social commerce is growing rapidly, and every day social media companies are adding new capabilities to support this growth. For retailers, the opportunities are apparent, but to truly succeed they must find ways to make the shopping experience live, interactive and seamless,” said Sega Cheng, CEO & Co-Founder of iKala. Already, the adoption of social technologies is up, but it varies from country to country.

Dimayuga said the second phase of the project would expand the facility’s capability to produce wirerod, a steel product that can support downstream small-scale manufacturing businesses and act as a viable import-substitute. He said that, at present, the Philippines has zero wire-rod manufacturing capability and relies solely on imports from Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and China, which totals to more than US$350-million worth of wire-rods annually. “We hope that through this long-term financing deal, DBP will do its share in enhancing the competitiveness of strategic local industries such as steel manufacturing,” Dimayuga said.

STATE-run Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) has extended a total of P20.86 billion in outstanding loans to 1,081 cooperatives and farmers’ associations as of endAugust, as it expressed its continued commitment to support the role of local coops in getting communities and the economy back on its feet amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. During the virtual celebration for Cooperative Month this October at the

House of Representatives on Monday (October 5), with the theme, “Koop Kalinga sa Pandemya,” LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo assured cooperatives of readily available credit facilities with low interest rates to finance recovery projects and initiatives. The virtual event was hosted by the House Committee on Cooperatives Development, which is headed by Coop-NATCCO party-list Rep. Sabiniano Canama.

“As your long-time partner in growth, we in LANDBANK reaffirm our unwavering commitment and solidarity to the noble objectives of the cooperative sector. We recognize the important role of coops in helping revive the local economy, with your presence in communities, especially in the countryside,” said President Borromeo. As of August 2020, LANDBANK said See SUPPORT, page 11

that was caught in a crossfire of the gun battle between the government troops and the ISIS-inspired Maute Group in the municipality of Calanogas, Lanao del Sur. That turbulent encounter resulted to the loss of some twenty million pesos due to the rampage when everyone was running for safety. Apparently, that cash loss was due to force majeure but how come, the women of Maranding had to bear painfully all the losses. I believe justice demands that it should not be. Well, the Maranding Women have told me that despite all the pains, the endless joy of the hungry and oppressed victims of war every time they received the much needed assistance because of the spirit of compassion is greater than any material wealth! That love and compassion has not only been shown by the Maranding Women during the Marawi Seige. The women have exemplified what it is to have a heart in a progressive society as manifested in their giving of gifts to prisoners, distributing school supplies to first grade pupils in the identified depressed areas, feeding program to less fortunate, conducting gift-giving programs on Christmas, paying tributes to parents and getting involved in various health services and church activities. Indeed, “a thousand hearts content with the blooming of the flowers in Maranding.” The blooming of MWIMPC has become a beacon of light and hope amidst the darkness and despair of poverty and conflict. The cooperative is now well connected to government agencies and the non-government organizations for financial and technical support. With its core values of commitment, honesty, oneness, spirituality, excellence and neutrality (in settling disputes in fair and just manner), MWIMPC is the long-awaited empowering and transformational leader whose wondrous holistic performance shows the way on how to have peace and prosperity in this broken but beautiful island of Mindanao. It is the prayer of the empowered women of Maranding for the concerned government offices to have a meticulous analysis on whether that money that got lost during the height of the encounter be solely charged to the Women Cooperative as such happened due to FORCE MAJEURE!

outstanding loans to the agriculture sector reached P224.66 billion, of which P20.86 billion was extended to farmers’ co-ops. This amount includes P428 million in loans provided to cooperatives under the Agricultural Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (ACEF) and the Expanded Rice Credit Assistance under the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (ERCA-RCEF) administered with the Department of Agriculture (DA), as well as the Socialized Credit Program under the Sugarcane Industry Development Act (SCP-SIDA) in partnership with the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA). The LANDBANK-managed ACEF aims to increase productivity of farmers and fishers by providing the necessary credit to farmers and fishers and their cooperatives and associations, and micro and small-scale enterprises, for the acquisition and establishment of production, postharvest, and processing machineries, equipment and facilities, farm inputs and improvement. A maximum of P5 million can be availed by farmer and fishers cooperatives, associations, and micro and small enterprises. The RCEF is mandated under the Rice Tariffication Law or Republic Act 11203 with a total of P10 billion to be allotted annually and will be incorporated under the General Appropriations Act to be used in boosting the agricultural productivity in the country and help the lives of farmers. Of this annual amount, P1 billion (P500 M per year for 2 years now) is allocated for credit which is being administered by LANDBANK. Meanwhile SCP-SIDA is funded by 15 percent (or about P300 million) of the annual P2-billion fund allocated for the development of the country’s sugar industry. President Borromeo said LANDBANK supports the government’s move to promote cooperatives and farmers’ associations—particularly those involved in the farming sector—as a means to achieve economies of scale and efficiency. Alongside extending loans, LANDBANK will also be providing financial literacy trainings to 220 micro and small co-ops from 92 unbanked municipalities under the FIT-Coop Program. Together with the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), the program is designed to help improve the business operations and strengthen the capacity of cooperatives to access formal credit. Meanwhile, under the Bank’s SPEED PUV (Special Package for Environment-Friendly and Efficiently-Driven Public Utility Vehicles) Loan Program—which is implemented in partnership with the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB)—LANDBANK continues to accept and process loan applications from transport cooperatives. As of August this year, total loans approved for transport cooperatives reached P356 million for the acquisition of 197 modern units. Last April, LANDBANK also launched the I-RESCUE (Interim REhabilitation Support to Cushion Unfavorably-affected Enterprises by Covid-19) Lending Program for

And now the Bayanihan Act 2 which aims to cover what was missed in the first version, such as providing low-interest loans to industries hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic such as the thousands of MSMEs, air, land, and sea transportation, retail trade, accommodation, and tourism services. Add to the Bayanihan Act 2, is an economic recovery plan to create jobs and sustain growth under a post-quarantine scenario. Each time, I come out from the webinars more informed, more hopeful, and more mindful of the metrics that matter for our recovery as a nation. Am mindful that while pandemic is still here, this too shall pass. And when that happens, my country is in a position to make the recovery. How I wish that more newspaper articles, more TV and radio airtime, and more social media feeds can be devoted to spreading and explaining these metrics so more Filipinos will do their best to survive and thrive this 2020 and will look forward to a great rebound in 2021!

Go also acknowledged the efforts of his fellow legislators in helping the government achieve the objectives of BP2. He particularly expressed his support for the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (CREATE) bill currently being tackled in the Senate plenary. “I thank Senator Pia Cayetano for also being an advocate of the program by actively pushing for the CREATE bill to provide incentives to businesses that wish to invest in provinces and provide economic opportunities outside metropolitan areas,” Go said. The proposed CREATE bill, sponsored by Cayetano, seeks to rationalize the country’s fiscal incentives system by encouraging businesses to invest in the Philippines, while the country gets the most value out of the incentives granted.
