Shortage of tech-voc in Misor trainers imminent By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent
CAGAYAN de Oro City-Misamis Oriental will have a shortage of technical and vocational trainers next year, said Technical Education, Skills and Development Authority (Tesda) Provincial Director Leo Velez. Velez issued the statement after an estimated 1,000 of the 1,500 trainers based here will expire their licenses next year. He said that many of the 1,000 trainers who will expire their licenses cannot renew them because of the requirement mandated by law that they must undergo three years of experience in the industry they are specializing before they will be accredited again. Although many of the trainers in technical and vocational educational institutions in Misamis Oriental have minimal industry experience, he said they have spent years in the academe honing students to become successful technical and vocational graduates and landing them jobs here and abroad. Velez said he is saddened that once they expire their licenses, the tech-voc trainers will be hired by the Department of Education (DepEd) which also maintains a tech-voc training under its senior high school tracks. “If one is a National Certificate III holder and holds a masteral degree, then he or she automatically becomes a Master Teacher with an enticing salary grade. Our trainers will naturally be attracted to the DepEd package,” Velez Higaonon moms.

Protesters urge Duterte to lift martial law in M’nao mark francisco, Section Editor EDITOR: SAIRA E. GUMISING
DAVAO City--President Rodrigo Duterte needs no “extraordinary powers” and he should lift the declaration placing the entire Mindanao under martial law, several groups said in Thursday’s protest marking the 45th anniversary of martial law. During the National Day of Protest on Thursday at Freedom Park along Roxas Avenue, Konsensya Dabaw spokesperson Mags Maglana told reporters that Duterte must only invoke extraordinary powers when absolutely necessary.

the president announced he was extending it until December 31 this year because “rebellion in Mindanao will not be completely quelled” within a shorter timeframe. Congress approved the extension. Maglana said she understands if some Dabawenyos appear to favor martial law because it gives the public a “sense of security”. She, however, pointed out that people should remember the human rights abuses that took place under the 21-year rule of the late dictator Marcos, almost 14 years of it under martial law. She said peace and order can still be maintained even without martial law if the police and the military would only do their jobs right. She added extra-judicial killings reflect a weak government because it suggests “it is not in control of the situation”. Protesters, including farmers, religious groups, and students, from several parts of Davao Region took to the streets to seek justice for the victims of martial

Xavier Ateneo community recollects stories of atrocities By Angelo Lorenzo Contributor
CAGAYAN de Oro City--On the National Day of Protest, some members of the Xavier Ateneo community had assembled in solidarity for a mass inside the University Church of the Immaculate Concepcion of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church and for a prayer vigil that succeeded outside. Held on the afternoon of Thursday, September 21, the same day that marked the 45th anniversary of former President Ferdinand Marcos’s notorious and unprecedented declaration of Martial Law, victims of the era’s atrocities were honored for their valor against authoritarian rule. While various forms of protests had been staged across the country, Xavier Ateneo in Cagayan de Oro City conducted a more solemn approach, but with the same message that preached the recognition of human rights, the strengthening of justice, and the aim for peace. Aligning his homily’s message to the Gospel about responding to God’s call, Xavier Ateneo Jesuit Community rector Fr Mars Tan SJ challenged the university’s students, alumni, faculty, staff, and guests to stand firm in their faith amidst the nation’s tumultuous times and take their part in valuing its democracy. “We must protect the values that Jesus Christ has taught us. These are the sanctity of life, the right of anyone to live, to be free,” he encouraged. “These values will guide our nation according to God’s plan. Therefore, we must uphold and defend them,” Tan continued. In the prayer vigil that followed, Martial Law records were revealed by the university’s Mission and Ministry

Karapatan-Southern Mindanao spokesperson Jay Apiag lamented that the 47 alleged political killings under the Duterte administration had almost surpassed the 52 political killings recorded during the Aquino administration. He added that martial law must be lifted as the people risk arrest should they fail to provide identifications and prove they are not terrorists.
cluster, the organizers of the event. According to Amnesty International, more than 70,000 were imprisoned, 34,000 tortured, and 3,240 murdered during the two decades of the Marcos regime, values had been disregarded by armed authorities and vigilantes. Six victims at six o’clock In front of the church, the same congregation that attended the mass paid tribute to the victims of Martial Law by kindling candles under the darkening sky. Six stories among the thousands of testimonies from victims who died or survived were shared. Particularly, these were: Liliosa Hilao, the first recorded female casualty whose remains contained bruises marked by gun barrels; Archimedes Trajano, a 21-year-old student who was thrown out of a building after questioning Imee Marcos for being the National Chairman of the Kabataang Barangay while her father was president; former UP Journalism student Maria Elena Ang who was sexually violated during her detention; Dr Juan Escandor, whose skull was stuffed with crumpled plastic bags, rags and underwear after he was killed by the Philippine Constabulary; Boyet Mijares, who, at 16 years old, was mutilated and dumped outside Manila after he was tricked into seeing his father again (the exiled author of The Conjugal Dictatorship, Primitivo Mijares); and former Tondo community leader Trinidad Herrera who was repeatedly electrocuted on her private parts upon interrogation. On the steps outside the church, black-and-white photographs of the victims were posted on standees. Displayed with them were papers
containing words of protest that were printed on their fronts. “Never forget,” one page showed. “Never again,” another read. On their center, an enlarged image of the iconic headline that announced the declaration stood on its own, some of the letters masked by the gleaming reflection of the candles’ flames on its plastic cover. As songs were sung between prayers, there was a collective silence when XU’s VP for mission and ministry Irene Guitarte reflected on human rights before the crowd. Stating the fundamental articles that define human rights according to the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights that was summarized in 1948, she added verses from the Bible to complement the definitions. “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights,” she recited, reading the first article before supporting it with Jeremiah 1:5. The fate encountered by the Martial Law victims that resulted from prevalent abuses stood as clear violations of their rights as human beings, and with extra-judicial killings now recurring in the present scene, Guitarte hopes that this threat would cease and will alarm those living in comfort and privilege. “As we rejoice in the gift of our own lives and give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy, we remember all those who are not free,” she stated. “Through our commitment to prayer, may we be open to commitment in practice.” The truth in history As a university, Xavier Ateneo eliminates politicizing. But with the commitment to social justice, its community adheres to the truth in history based on the testimonies of both victims and victors.
On September 19, Duterte issued Proclamation No. 319, declaring Thursday as a National Day of Protest. It says the Duterte administration “recognizes the fear and indignation of the people against repetition and perpetuation of such human rights violations and all other failings of the government.” It further states that the President “is in solidarity with the people’s call against all excesses and shortcomings of the government, and with the people’s desire to uphold
highest standards of integrity, efficiency and accountability in government.” “I urge all protesters to act within the bounds of the law, maintain a peaceful conduct of rallies, marches and demonstrations, be vigilant of possible infiltrators who may instigate violence in an effort to provoke the police and other law enforcement authorities, and avoid causing any undue inconvenience to their fellow citizens,” Duterte said.

One aim of the XU Mission and Ministry is to further educate the students with historical facts and encourage them to be vigilant in the present. The mass may be scheduled daily in the university’s church, and prayer vigils are held commonly in an academic institution run by the Society of Jesus, but these are venues where students could learn beyond the classroom and their program’s curriculum. “The prayer vigil is our way of commemorating the victims,” Xavier Ateneo’s Na-
tional Service Training Program (NSTP) director Dennise Edwina Gonzalez shared. She hopes that their testimonies will educate the students and the residents of the city about the extent of abuse an authoritarian government could do. The prayer vigil concluded with a prayer composed by Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle DD and read by one student who volunteered. “Iligtas Mo po kami sa lahat ng kasamaan at paghahangad ng masama. Bigyan Mo kami ng kapayapaang bunga ng mabuting kalooban (May You
save us from evil and from causing harm, and grant us peace brought by goodwill.),” the student delivered.The crowd soon dispersed after planting their candles beneath the display.

the stakeholders in public and private entities to participate in the two important events. The five-day PSIS workshop/seminar would tackle important security approaches in a changing environment where technology has become a cutting edge. The SOPI convention would also dig into the critical understanding of disasters, catastrophes, and other fortuitous events – both natural and manmade. When a man is caught unaware of disasters that strike at an instance, it is knowledge and technical responses that could save lives. The technical knowledge
and calculated responses in addressing emergency and disaster could be learned through disaster and resilience training and seminars. The SOPI is undertaking a national convention in October to encourage both private and public entities to be aware of the importance of upgrading one’s applicable knowledge in disaster and emergency preparations and responses. The PSIS sponsored training this week prepares a trainee to face the various security odds – both manmade and natural. Talking about man-made involves cyber security, personal security (including information security), security ad-

ministration, nuclear attack and other related security problems that are usually encountered at home and in the workplace. The natural security primarily tackles about engaging natural disasters and calamities, particularly the identification of its possible effects and how to counter it. The topic is tailored for security managers and directors who handle and manage the security of private and public firms. Security in this case is all about security lives and properties.

••• It seems our planet is in deep turmoil with so many countries expressing disgust, rivalries in business, inventions, military power, allies and a lot others. It is difficult to comprehend, but some leaders’ declarations and pronouncement are just terrifying and helped us to conclude our only world is heading into the future of darkness and the unknown. I am so perplexed and trying hard to analyze things on the surface, but the more I dove deeper, the more I think the danger we are facing. I am utterly lost in the jungle of consistencies and contradictions as I focused so much on the state of our planet.
Look at North Korea, whose young leader Kim Jong Un, talks so much about reducing the United States, a powerful world, power into ashes and its ally, South Korea vanished from the world map. He threatened to fire a strong bomb in the area near American territory in Guam and to illustrate it more clearly, fired missiles just above the head of Japan. This is losing one’s mind and the danger is if Japan loses its understanding, it can end up in war. Speaking about war, naturally the allies of Japan will come forward and join the fight. Man should watch his mouth because it can easily invite others to a fight.
Ben Emata Jr.
At the United Nation general assembly, delegates from North Korea walked out as President Donald Trump was about to deliver his speech where he also threatened to destroy North Korea, the talkative country with fire and fury. Speaking of armaments and readiness for war, the United States is more superior than anyone else. It does not show off its military capabilities, but certainly its strength is far beyond the imaginaSee world, page 11

There is protection in the Name of Jesus! LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… `My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message’…” (Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, in John 17:20, the Holy Bible). -oooPRAYER FOR ALL BELIEVERS: Thank God in the Name of Jesus. Our life’s inspiration today is taken from the prayer of Jesus, our God and Savior, before He entered into the suffering and death on the cross that would give power and salvation for all mankind. In His prayer intended for the hearing of His disciples at that time, Jesus made it clear that He was
praying not only for those who believed in Him at that point. Let us read, once more, what He said: “…`My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message’…” Based on this, there is no mistaking the intentions of Jesus, that it was not only to the disciples and believers who were with Him when He was still here on earth that He gave salvation, and the work of proclaiming His Word and saving souls based on His Word. -oooTHE WORK OF PROCLAIMING AND SAVING IN MODERN TIMES: It would be very clear that
even peoples from other places, and from different periods of time, would be given salvation, too, and would in fact be sent to accomplish the end-time work of proclaiming and saving, on the condition that they would accept, receive, and believe Jesus as God and Savior, and as God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The prayer of Jesus in John 17 shows that He knew, even then, that as time passed by, there are workers whom He had chosen even before the creation of the universe, who still stand up for Him and would perform the purpose He had laid out for the end of

the world, and who would become instruments of His power and salvation. There is no dispute, therefore, as to the truth and basis of the work of those who call themselves “Anak ng Diyos Kadugo Ni Kristo” (or AND KNK, Children of God Blood Kin of the Christ), which is proclaiming the Word, and saving souls, even if they didn’t undergo any formal seminary training. -oooTHE NAME OF JESUS GIVES PROTECTION: Because AND KNK See jesus, page 11

the PSIS train people to become a certified security professional (CSP). A title that carries the capability of the individual to meet and preempt all forms of security threats. Without disabusing their capabilities, even the active and retired military officers undergo the PSIS training to gain the CSP title. The CSP title is now required for any individual (including retired military officials) to handle the security needs of multi-national companies, which employ hundreds and thousands of people. The SOPI training falls mainly about safety in the workplace. The safety officer compliments with the security officer in carrying out important emergency and safety measures in the workplace. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has required big companies to have an accredited safety officer’s task to handle the safety of employees in the work-
place. With the advent of climate change, disasters, and other calamities, the SOPI is embarking on various measures to make the company management and their safety officer resilient in any emergency condition. While the process of the selection of gaining a CSP accreditation is very stiff and competitive, the organizers deserve the support of the government and its private counterparts. There is now a move to require all heads of the government’s Civil Security Units (CSU) to hire only CSP accredited personnel. The measure is being pushed in order to professionalize the government’s security administration. Otherwise, the government CSU would be likened to a bunch of “hitmen” and “goons” of government officials. The PSIS, however, have to confer with the Civil Service Commission (CSC) on the issue of accrediting and requirements to become an eligible CSU head or managers. The ongoing PSIS workshop here is a good start for both the private

Suzuki car clubs strengthen ties, help communities and the environment
Suzuki launched 3 bikes, raffled-off 2, at the Motorsiklo Xklusibo’s 8th anniversary celebration Suzuki Philippines is in full force during the Motorsiklo Xklusibo’s 8th anniversary celebration aptly called as MX GR82B8 (MX great to be eight) at Tagaytay International Convention Center (TICC) with the arrival of the brand’s well coveted motorcycles – the Raider R150 Fi and the GSX Series – GSX-R150 and GSX-S150. Over 14,000 riders attended the annual gathering and witnessed the public introduction of the latest Suzuki bikes which have been the topic of all riders’ discussions especially on social media for the past months not only because of their handsome looks but more because of their power and performance. These are: the fuel-injected brother of the Underbone King which is considered as the Pinnacle of Hyper Underbones – the Raider R150 Fi and the revolutionary lightweight sportbikes which came from the renowned Suzuki GSX lineage – the full faired GSX-R150 and the naked GSX-S150. The launch was held as part of MX’s program which was attended by Suzuki Philippines President Mr. Hiroshi Suzuki, Marketing Manager Mr. Monch Bontogon and Regional Sales Manager for South Luzon Mr. Mitsunori Shiraishi with Team Suzuki Pilipinas’ Luzon representative Eane Jaye Sobretodo. Club Suzuki Raiders Philippines (CSRP), the Raider R150 Summit dance contest champion also did an amazing performance at the launch. What served as the highlight of the event was when Suzuki raffled off 2 Raider R150s – a carburetor and a fuel-injected model. The lucky winners were Mr. Roberto Gutierrez of Camarines Sur for the Raider R150 carb and Mr. Rolando Fernandez for the Raider R150 Fi. cmyk
Pioneer compact car distributor Suzuki Philippines (SPH) supports the series of activities organized by several car clubs from the growing Team Suzuki Philippines (TSP) family. Accredited car clubs Swift 1.2 Philippines and Vitara Club of the Philippines recently held outreach programs in support of their respective Suzuki vehicles and as part of efforts to reach out to more communities and create a positive impact. Suzuki Philippines Assistant General Manager Cecil Capacete commended the efforts of Swift 1.2 and VCP: “On behalf of Suzuki Philippines, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude for your continued and heartfelt support for the brand. These outreach activities and programs have always been in line with our objectives. They reiterate that our efforts and vision go beyond providing quality and practical compact cars. We are delighted and honored to be an instrument in achieving your goal of making a difference as a means of bringing to more Filipinos the Suzuki way of life.” Swift 1.2 Philippines conducted its first ever outreach program in partnership with the No One In Need Movement. The activity, held at San Diego Restoration Village in Valenzuela City, was participated in by more than 40 kids and community members, who joined the games and program that included singing, drawing and dancing. Prizes were given away to the delight of the kid attendees. The event mirrors the club’s mission to strengthen camaraderie among its members. It also supports Suzuki’s commitment to give more Filipinos a better understanding of the Suzuki Way of Life. “We would like to thank Suzuki Philippines for the support they have given us in making our first outreach activity possible. We at Swift 1.2 were brought together two years ago by our love and support for Swift. Over time, we realized we have more things in common. Wanting to touch other people’s lives and make a difference is among them. We are definitely excited to do more of this in the future,” shares Swift 1.2 Philippines officer Argel Lapuz. Established in 2015, Swift 1.2 quickly expanded over a span of only two years. It currently comprises more than 500 members and is expected to continue growing in the years ahead, a reflection of the success of Suzuki’s most famous hatchback. Equipped with a stylish and elegant façade, Swift continues, without a doubt, to earn favorable market response. VCP recently held a tree-planting activity at the Treasure Mountain in Tanay, Rizal. The event, which was attended by more than 50 members and their families and friends, was capped by an overnight fellowship. The participants bonded during the camping, sharing not just food but laughter, stories and experiences as well to make the VCP family even closer. “As the oldest car club of Suzuki Philippines, we would like to show our sincerest gratitude to the company for their continued support. This year’s tree-planting activity not only provided an opportunity to help the environment but also See suzuki, page 11

Ph exporters confident of double-digit growth in 2017 Exporters are confident of a double-digit growth this year on the back of projected firming recovery of major markets, efforts to double funding for overseas product promotions and the peso’s depreciation. Speaking during the recent 3rd quarter general membership meeting, Philippine Exporters Confederation Inc. (PHILEXPORT) President Sergio R. OrtizLuis Jr. cited recent business surveys and industrial production data pointing to a firming up of the recovery in the United States (US) and Europe, with the US economy showing renewed strength into next year. The US followed Japan as the top exports markets for the Philippines in July 2017. By economic bloc, the European Union (EU) member countries ranked third, following East Asia and ASEAN member countries. Ortiz-Luis said trade between developing countries, or South-South trade, is also projected to reach one-third of world trade by 2020. He pointed that the BRICS bloc, or Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, is betting more on “blue ocean” for development given their abundant natural resources and strong growth momentum. He said closer cooperation and trade on offshore oil and gas, port construction and logistics on the
Academic tie-up key to sharpen MSMEs’ competitiveness, says WIPO exec
sea are expected among its member-economies and partners. As China pledged tens of billions of dollars in infrastructure financing and development aid as part of its One Belt, One Road initiative, Ortiz-Luis added that nearly 70 countries have signed agreements with China to promote economic integration and free global trade under such initiative. The export group chief noted the EU is also resuming the process of a regionto-region free trade agreement (FTA) with ASEAN
and a series of bilateral FTAs, amidst growing concerns of protectionism. This, as some of its main competitors, such as Japan, China and Korea, inked ASEAN agreements. “This complements the result of a recent survey among European firms which showed that they are bullish on the Philippines and are ready to expand their businesses here,” he said during the group’s general membership meeting this week. Moreover, Ortiz-Luis believes that higher budget
for overseas product promotions can boost export competitiveness, noting that neighboring competitors are enjoying hefty subsidies that are giving them the competitive edge. Trade and Industry Secretary Ramon M. Lopez has sought the doubling of the government budget for international product promotions to be able to compete with other countries in marketing products and services of micro, small and medium enterprises. Ortiz-Luis further noted the country’s robust eco-
WTO raises world trade growth forecast for 2017 to 3.6% The World Trade Organization (WTO) on Thursday strongly revised upward its forecast for world trade growth this year to 3.6 percent from previous estimate of 2.4 percent, citing the resurgence of Asian trade flows and recovering demand for imports from North America. This year’s projected trade growth would represent substantial improvement from lackluster 1.3-percent rise in 2016, reflecting the continued forecast risk arising from deep uncertainty about near-term economic and policy developments. “Stronger growth particularly in China and the
United States (US) boosted demand for imports, which spurred intra-Asia-trade as demand was transmitted through regional supply chains,” the WTO said. It attributed higher Chinese demand in the first half of 2017 to solid growth in industry and even stronger growth in services. Financial conditions in Asia also improved, contributing to business and consumer confidence. It noted the partial recovery of oil prices in 2017 also appears to have provided some support for investment this year in the US after growth slowed abruptly last year, particularly in the energy sector. The WTO pointed out the import content of in-
vestment tends to be higher than other components of gross domestic product (GDP), noting “a recovery of expenditure in this area would be expected to have an outsized impact on import demand.” “Export orders have strengthened signalling sustained trade momentum in second half of 2017,” it said. However, the WTO added the rapid pace of trade growth in 2017 is unlikely to be sustained next year, citing the weak base year and the expected tightening of monetary policy in developed countries. This, as the Federal Reserve gradually raises interest rates in the US and the European Central
Bank looks to phase out quantitative easing in the euro area. The WTO further said fiscal expansion and easy credit in China also are likely to be reined in to prevent the economy from overheating. “All of these factors should contribute to a moderation of trade growth in 2018 to around 3.2 percent,” it added. 6.

nomic growth and industry performance, and the peso which is trending to the favor of dollar-generating sectors, like exports. “This gives us a positive signal that demand is recovering… If this trend is sustained, we can be more confident of a double-digit growth. But still, we have a lot of catching up to do given the impressive performance from some Asian economies…,” he said. July’s 13.8-percent export growth brought year-to-date merchandise receipts to $36.569 billion.
Closing the gap in collaboration and knowledge transfer between academy and industry in the Philippines is important to support and sustain the growth of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), according to an official from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). “There is an information gap. Academy doesn’t know what MSMEs are doing, and MSMEs do not really know what can they find in academic institutions, how large the knowledge there, and how ready these institutions are to develop solutions for them,” said Olga Spasic, a counselor on knowledge transfer and IP commercialization with WIPO’s SMEs and entrepreneurship division. In her presentation at a business conference on intellectual property (IP) and knowledge creation September 20 in Manila, Spasic underscored the need to help Philippine MSMEs increase their competitiveness to ensure inclusive economic development. She said that data show that 99.6% of businesses in the See key, page 11
BOC’s green lane still on ice
With no reports of port congestion so far, the green lane facility of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) will continue to be suspended as the agency’s selectivity system goes under scrutiny, Customs Commissioner Isidro Lapeña said. “The suspension of the green lane continues,” the new customs chief said in a press briefing on September 13. He said they had been monitoring if the suspension would cause congestion at the port and was informed it has not. “There’s no need to lift kasi wala namang (since there’s no) congestion. Let... all these (green lane) cargoes pass through the x-ray,” he said. Lapeña said the suspension, which began on Aug. 30, will “continue as long
as needed” while BOC is still reviewing its selectivity system. This has led to shipments now being directed to the yellow or red lane. The suspension came amid congressional inquiries about a shipment of methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) worth P6.5 billion that slipped past BOC because it was directed to the green lane. Shipments tagged for the green lane are not reviewed and inspected, while cargoes bound for the yellow lane are subject to documentary review. Shipments tagged for the red lane undergo both documentary review and physical or non-intrusive inspection. Lapeña said that to prevent delays in the release of containers with the See lane, page 11

God does not count our mistakes The Gospel of Jesus Christ (September25, 2017-Monday) Luke 7:3650-And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that [Jesus] sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, And stood at his

from page 1 accomplishment, BOC Port of Cagayan De Oro District Collector Jamail Marohomsalic also reported to the Commissioner that they achieved a P1,553,511,484 (or P1.5B) surplus in their collection target. From the period of January to August of this year, their district was assigned to collect P7,398,345,000 (or P7.4B) but they succeeded in collecting P8,951,856,484 (or P8.951 billion). Lapena lauded the Collection District 10’s achievements and believed that the other ports could emulate and duplicate its performance. Intelligence Officer 2 Alvin Y. Enciso, BOC-CDO Port Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS) officer-in-charge, said the M/V Jake Vincent Seis is owned by the Cebu-based company Villa Shipping Lines Inc. “We are conducting an investigation to determine if the owner of M/V Jake Vincent Seis intended to deceive the government by avoiding paying the P35 million import duties and taxes. It was made to appear that the

In our gospel, we can relate the sinner woman as “representative” of all human beings who are also sinners. In Romans 3:10-as it is written, there is “none righteous,” no, not one. In 1 John 1:8-if we say that M/V Jake Vincent Seis was plying in the BIMP-EAGA when its operations was only limited to domestic routes in the Philippines,” said Enciso. The ship had just come from Indonesia when the BOC and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) boarded the vessel and seized it last Sept. 8 after discovering that it was using a fake special permit to operate in the BIMP-EAGA route. It was carrying 1,450 metric tons of bulk copra to be delivered to the Davao Bay Coconut Oil Mills in Misamis Occidental. The value of the vessel plus the bulk copra was estimated to be around P200 million. Aside from the secondhand general cargo ship, the other accomplishments of BOC Collection District 10 include the confiscation of two units of used cargo trucks, a model 1992 and model 1993, that were found dismantled inside two 40-footer container vans. The trucks came from Japan and were consigned to Ghulam Traders International Corporation. The shipments both arrived last May 10, 2017 and were seized last July 20, 2017 because of misclassifi-

we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. Ecclesiastes 5:6”Do not let your speech cause you to sin and do say in the presence of the messenger of God that it was a mistake. The truth is; God does not count our mistakes but our strengths and good things in life. He is particular to your achievements rather than to your shortcomings. He is

Its contents were later discovered to be fresh onions that came from China. The onions, consigned to Govgen Agri Products International, arrived in the country last July 23, 2017 and were seized on August 4, 2017. The agriculture product was estimated to be worth P5 million. On August 8, the BOC Collection District 10 conducted another operation and uncovered a 20-footer container van that was said to contain aluminum ethylene cylinders, when it actually carried steel ethylene cylinders that were brought in from China. The consignee was identified as Linde Philippines (South) Inc. The misdeclared shipment was said to be worth P1.5 million. On August 17, 2017, they seized P5 million worth of secondhand clothing that was misdeclared as secondhand blanket, shoes and bags from Japan. The used clothing that was stored inside two 40-footer
container vans were consigned to Kornet Express Inc. The shipment arrived last January 3, 2017. During Commissioner Lapena’s visit, he also congratulated BOC Sub-port Iligan Collector John Simon for being the regional winner in the Civil Service Commission’s 2017 Outstanding Government Workers under the Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award.

It was once disturbed by the bombings at the height of atrocities between New Peoples Army rebels and Army soldiers in 2010 but residents confronted their sad plight to a committed resolve to instead help one another to uplift their socioeconomic condition. This had drawn government attention, making them recipients of various KalahiCidss projects funded by the World Bank in the past years. Visiting DSWD officials were impressed with the way residents cooperate as everybody would be present at a gathering for a meeting at the multipurpose hall of the village as soon as they hear the clang of the distant bell. Aside from the new school building, the residents were recipients of previous KalahiCidss sub projects, including village road, day care center, rice and corn mill, solar dryer and concrete pathway which were realized because of the residents active participation as stakeholders during the implementation stages of the

She lauded the Kalahi-Cidss program as a holistic approach that had given residents a proud sense of ownership. Samuel Ampahan, chairperson of Barangay Sub Project Management Committee, said the residents’ sincere commitment to participate in realizing the projects which were carried out with transparency and accountability was the key to their success. He recalled many of those who volunteered to become part of the project monitoring team did not have formal education at school, but managed to learn skills from the trainings that taught them the intricacies on the standards and regulations of the projects. Some of the residents admitted the training and workshops and their exposure on canvassing the materials outside their village helped them better persons to socialize in the outside world, a transformation from the traditional traits of a Higaonon who are meek and shy. Ampahan, a pastor of a Christian church in the village, has been a Kalahi-Cidss volunteer leader for 11 years which made him a finalist in the program’s national awards this year. Village chief Rolando Pinahan said the projects that the community received served as an instrument to develop their ancestral domain.” We See build, page 11

Tension is escalating rapidly between Japan and North Korea. The same thing exists between the United States and Russia relative to the on-going war in Syria. The Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, among others are at odds with China for the latter’s adventure of expansionism that touched part of our territory in the Spratleys--and other dreams to rule Asia first before other places. In Europe, states like Poland, Germany, England, France and other neighbors are not happy about Russia’s program of invasion. It has recently annexed Cremea and immediate areas that certainly warned others of some possible problems to come. Naturally, everyone is preparing against the worst thing that may happen anytime. ••• I was shocked at the incident in Mexico that was hit by massive earthquake this week. Initial reports disclosed more than 200 people were killed and the number is rising as rescue operation goes on full swing. I am just praying that such incident will not happen in our place, more especially that many of us are hard up in life and at most be able to cope up with a huge disaster like that one in Mexico. Anyway, I urge our government and people to be alert and prepared should one strikes. Earthquakes cannot be predicted and when it strikes, it is a major problem. •••

Maybe we should change our mind and study further what to do. ••• While fighting is happening everyday in the country, our politicians also are busy in-fighting against one another. Some senators are wildly misbehaving and trying to prove one is better than the other in term of honesty? Foolishness? Of course, I admit many are good and reliable. I guess they should appear to be respectable and honorable. ••• resident Duterte sent his wife as delegate to the United Nations general assembly in New York. That was absolutely wrong.

Because the Kadugos have become members of AND KNK, they became part of the work of Jesus so people can be guided towards salvation on the strength of their faith on Jesus. According to the Word of Jesus, after the Kadugos accepted and placed their faith on Jesus as God and Savior, the Holy Spirit came down and united with them and started to guide them and give them power.

in the Philippines are MSMEs, and they generated over 4.89 million jobs in 2014 compared to 2.89 million jobs by large enterprises, for a 62.8% share of total jobs created. MSMEs
Monday, September 25, 2017 also account for 25% of total export revenue and comprise 60% of all Philippine exporters. Aside from an information gap, another key challenge is the cultural gap between industry and academy. Spasic noted how local MSMEs see public researchers as scientists “living far away from real-life issues, not able to develop simple solutions.” On the other hand, academia does not see working for MSMEs as a worthy research or scientific challenge, but more of doing small engineering services for a fee. “Neither academic institutions nor MSMEs have seen research as the major engine for improving the competitiveness of MSMEs in the Philippines,” noted Spasic. Another obstacle is diverging interests, where academies are interested in long-term scientific research while MSMEs are looking at simply solutions that can be applied immediately. The lack of financial incentives for both sides is also a deterrent. “Currently MSMEs really have insufficient incentive to create R&D and to engage engineers and scientists, so there is a gap that needs to be overcome,” added Spasic. To promote collaboration between the two sectors, Spasic said it is important to position public research institutions to be seen as a key lever for the competitiveness of industry. There’s also a need to identify the needs and expectations of MSMEs and make such information available to academic institutions “in order to find which academic institutions can contribute and can respond to these expectations.” Spasic also suggests bringing together key stakeholders around a shared approach and methodology to foster support for MSMEs and amplify their competitiveness. She said that if academicians and entrepreneurs can be made to “get to know each other, make connections, and work together,” then it would be easier to introduce IP as a collaboration tool. “IP, if managed and used in the proper way, is not an obstacle,” she added. “It is actually pushing for collaborations.” Spasic said they have seen “how revenues from collaborations where we have a huge transfer of knowledge are even higher than from a simple licensing agreement.” She continued that while reshaping relations between industry partners and academic institutions can be initially started on a small scale, the desired end goal is to scale it up to the level of a national policy.

At the meeting, the Ministers further agreed to a formal feasibility study on a Canada-ASEAN FTA, to be conducted in parallel to the launch of the exploratory discussions. The statement comes one year after Canada and ASEAN agreed to the drafting of terms of reference for an FTA feasibility study between Canada and ASEAN, following the Fifth ASEAN AEM - Canada Consultation in Laos, August 2016. This move is an indication that Canada and ASEAN firmly recognize the immense potential that awaits deeper economic integration between our regions, and that the political will exists to move an agreement across the line quickly. Following the announcement, ASEAN now joins China as one of Canada’s major potential FTA partners in the exploratory discussion phase. The AEM-Canada Consultations were co-chaired by Canada’s Parliamentary Secretary to International Trade, Pamela GoldsmithJones (on behalf of Minister of Trade Franchois-Philippe Champagne), and Philippine Secretary of Trade Ramon M. Lopez. The meeting commenced with CABC’s annual policy presentation and dialogue with the Ministers, presented by CABC President Wayne Farmer, with Executive Director Greg Ross.

Davao to host SEA-US submarine cable system DAVAO CITY – President Rodrigo Duterte cited Globe Telecom for choosing Davao City as the host of its USD250-million Southeast Asia-United States (SEA-US) submarine cable system for it reinforces the capacity and resiliency of the country’s information system. The President lauded the project as it would also improve communication capacities, better access to basic services, increased competitiveness, and build smarter cities. In a speech read for him by Presidential Communications Operations Secretary Martin Andanar, the President said that choosing Davao City as host of the project will generate more investments and create job opportunities not only for Davao, but also in Mindanao. Duterte also expressed optimism the project would complement the national broadband plan of the government aimed at improving the internet connectivity in the country. In an interview at the
cmyk
sidelines of the ceremonial launch of the SEA-US cable system at Seda Hotel Friday, Andanar said the project is laudable as this will cause faster internet access in Davao and Mindanao. He said it is the first cable submarine system which is connected through Davao bypassing earthquake zones in the north.This makes the system more resilient and less susceptible to signal interruptions caused by natural calamities. “This is really advantageous for the citizens of Davao City and Mindanao,” he said. Ernest Cu, Globe president and CEO, said Davao will benefit from this system getting the best connectivity going out of the country. He said the system is the first cable run in the country and resilient in relation to other cable currently operating. “This means quicker interconnection via the internet which we call in technical terms – latency,” Cu told said in an interview with reporters.
In this project, Globe is investing US$100 million. “The cable system is a consortium between four companies in the United States, Hawaii, and Guam. Cu said the project has been completed and the cable is already carrying traffic since late July. “This will level up connection. As we build capacity usage goes up as well. And so we have to keep up as the country catches up in terms of building up wireline infrastructure given the fact that we focus on mobile for many years,” Cu stressed.
