House passes bill strengthening NLRC operations THE House of Representatives has approved on 3rd and final reading a bill strengthening the operations of the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) to enhance the just and expeditious resolution of labor disputes. House Bill 5306 aut hored by Reps. Karlo Alexei B. Nograles (1st

Tambunting (2nd District, Parañaque City) amends Articles 213 and 215 of Presidential Decree No. 442, as a mended, otherwise known as the Labor Code of the Philippines. The bill promotes the expeditious resolution of labor cases filed at the NLRC by providing t he agency w it h more

flexibility in the management of its manpower.

The Commission Attorneys are the ones who assist the NLRC in its appellate and adju-

dicatory functions. The bill also removes the provision that prohibits the Labor Arbiter from performing the work of the Commission Attorney or from being assigned to the office of any Commissioner.

Opinion

Diagnosing the pathologies in the 1987 Constitution By Michael Henry Ll. Yusingco

MELBOURNE, Australia--It seems appropriate for the 29th anniversary celebration of the EDSA Revolution on February 25 that we ponder on whether the 1987 Constitution, just like our notion of people power, has become a mere relic of a momentous period in Philippine history. Indeed, it is considered one of the most enduring constitutions in the world because it has stood for 28 years without any amendment. Most constitutional scholars w i ll agree t hat a constitution is never infallible or immortal even as they continue to debate amongst themselves the ideal lifespan of a nation-state’s constitution. But none of these experts will ever deny that pathologies in the constitution can emerge during its reign. These pertain to provisions in the constitutional text itself that may have been designed with good intentions for the polity but have eventually become debilitating to the political system it purports to govern. Our very own 1987 Constitution is no exception. However, diagnosing the pathologies in our constitution is no easy task. But one thing is sure t hough. Deter minat ions f rom politicians and interest groups, no matter how well-thought and presented, are not enough. In order to produce an accurate and truly legitimate result, this process demands the ardent participation of the polity itself. Constitutional scholars have long t heorized t hat t he active engagement of citizens in the constitutional writing process actually engenders a deep sense of investment for t he establishment of constitutional rules and principles in the community. Furthermore, the involvement of the people in the drafting enterprise essentially lays the groundwork for a political culture of consultation and cooperation. Indeed according to the United Nations Assistance to Constitution-making Processes (April 2009), “Constitution-making presents moments of great opportunity to create a common vision of the future of a state, the results

of which can have profound and lasting impacts on peace and stability.” This collective approach in the constitutional project and its resulting benefits also holds true for constitutional reform. Therefore, identifying the aspects of the 1987 Constitution that requires remedial action has to be carried out via widespread and substantial public dialogue. Issues such as expanded regional autonomy for Mindanao and the Cordillera, blanket prohibition on political dy nasties, further economic liberalization, consolidation of social safety-nets, electoral reforms, and so forth, must all be exhaustively threshed out by the people in this nation-wide political exercise. The concrete scenario I env ision for t his comprehensive “diagnostic” process is not at all complicated and implausible. I see members of a community congregate for this purpose through the barangay assembly apparatus. Admittedly, dissecting constitutional issues pertaining to good governance, economic prosperity, liberal democracy and social justice does not exactly fall within the powers of the Barangay Assembly under the Local Government Code (LGC). But this mechanism is still the most convenient way to gather ordinary citizens and give them the opportunity to speak out and be heard. After all the LGC itself considers the barangay as a “forum wherein the collective views of the people may be expressed, crystallized and considered.” Moreover, I envisaged representatives from law schools to assume the role of moderator in these assemblies. I concede that this would be a daunting imposition on these academic institutions. But it is warranted, I daresay, under Section 5(a) of the Volunteer Act of 2007 which states— “Volunteerism in the academe includes, but is not limited to, provision of technical assistance and sharing of technology within the academic circle, target communities and other clienteles and the upgrading of the quality of education and curriculum meth-

Commentary

odologies while providing career enhancement and exposure to the volunteers;” The fact is law schools are the only institutions in the country where constitutional professionals, so to speak, are produced. Their knowledge in constitutional reform forms part of legal “technology” which they can share to the local communities where they belong. Needless to say, taking the helm in this task can only enhance the standing of participating law schools and can certainly be a big boost to their faculty and students. Ostensibly, the mechanics and logistics of the sessions themselves shall be the responsibility of each law school involved. But the targeted output for each barangay should be a position paper outlining the pathologies in the 1987 Constitution and the concomitant remedial action that must be undertaken. Indeed, this entire endeavour could be a good precursor to constitutional revision. Those position papers could all be formally endorsed to Congress and form the basis of a working draft that can initiate the amendatory process under Article XVII. It will certainly ensure that the outcome of any revision project can genuinely be deemed as authored by the people. But this undertaking can also function as a massive civic education campaign on constitutional principles for local communities. It is highly possible that after undergoing this cathartic political exercise, Filipinos from every nook and cranny between Batanes and Tawi-Tawi, will begin to see themselves not merely as passive observers in the sidelines but as continuing stakeholders to the enforcement of constitutiona l rules and tenets. Simply put, the process could eventually churn out socially and politically responsible citizens. ••• (MindaViews is the opinion section of MindaNews. Atty. Michael Henry Ll.

Trust By William R. Adan

NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental––If we now comfortably live in this modern time it is because we put so much trust, consciously or unconsciously, in people around us. We take a jeepney or a bus or a plane to our destination without bothering to ask the state of mind of the driver or the pilot. We simply trust that he will deliver us safely to our objective. We d i ne a nd enjoy our meals in restaurants trusting that the cook and the waiters will not do anything wicked or put anything harmful in the food we eat. We ta ke t he elevator to the 101st f loor of a skyscraper with nary a thought that the cables may snap or the tall building may collapse anytime. We trust and do not question the skills and professionalism of all those responsible for such engineering wonders. We put our money into an ATM machine trusting that the system will record our transaction and give our money back to us when we need it. We support a friend’s bid for a position of leadership trusting and believing that he will live up to our ideals and dreams he claims to identify with. Societ y is built and grows on trust. It is to the advantage of every participant in an economic and social transaction if he offers and gives his best to a relationship. Such a n ef for t wou ld make every transaction mutually beneficial, lasting and sustainable. Once trust, however, is violated the relationship established may f lounder and irreversibly end. Thus, we stop returning to dine in an inefficient and unsanitary restau-

We stop booking our flights in an airline notorious for its unreliable schedules. We stop buying our appliances from a company that negates on its warranties. And we shy away from friends who betrayed our ideals and frustrated our expectations. There are always opportunists, scoundrels a nd sca lawags i n ou r midst. However cautious we may be, we at times succumb to their charm and wily schemes. But we need not sulk over our failed decisions or on the glitches of the systems around us. Life is never perfect. Nonetheless, it is self-correcting. In the final equation of things, it is still in our favor if we continue to trust and hope on the goodness of people around us. To lean on trust, life may yet turn easy, peaceful and comfortable. To opt for the reverse may lead us to a di f f icu lt, paranoid and miserable existence. ***** There are always good and bad people in whatever society and place.

productivity,” said Alfonso. Filipino corn farmers already know the benefits of genetic engineering, one of the tools of modern biotechnology. They have increased yields enough so that the country was able to export for the first time a modest 467 metric tons of corn silage to South Korea in 2013; it came out of the 234,000 surplus from the record harvest of 8.2 million metric tons. Domest ic product ion of yellow corn spiked from 2.62 million Metric Tons in 2000 to 4.82 million MT in 2011. That year, the yellow corn harvest made for more than half of the 6.97 million MT total corn production, including white corn mainly used for food. The National Corn Program estimates that yellow corn comprises up to half of the feed requirements for poultry layers and 40 percent of hog feed ingredients in the country. The increase in yellow corn production came despite the relatively small increase in the area planted to the crop; this has barely increased from 2.51 million hectares in 2000 to 2.54 million has. in 2013. “That’s harvesting more corn without increasing the pressure on already limited farm land,” Alfornso said, adding that were it not for Bt corn, production “would have been flat.” The hectarage planted to yellow corn increased from 940,000 hectares to only 1.26 million has. from 2000 to 2013, he said, citing data from the National Corn Competitiveness Board. However, t he average yield of farms planted to Bt corn increased significantly, from 2.8 MT per hectare to 3.83 MT/ha., enabling the countr y to export yellow corn for the first time. Today, about 800,000 hectares nat ionw ide are pla nted to Bt cor n. T he number of farmers planting Bt corn has increased from 100,000 in 2006 when Bt corn was first introduced to 270,000 in 2010. “Bt corn means higher y ields, up to 40 percent compared to non-Bt in field tests and depending on pest infestation,” said Alfonso. “It has reduced insecticide

She said by holding this kind of festival, the relationship could be strengthened and drew more appreciation of the Indian culture at the same time learn more about each other. Sta. Maria said they are expecting also European families who will be coming in during the holding of the Holi Festival of 30 European exchange students of the Ateneo de Davao University. Meanwhile, Sta. Maria said that Holi is a spring festival, which is also known as the festival of colors or the festival of love. It is an a ncient Hi ndu rel ig ious festival which has become popular with non-Hindu in many parts of South Asia, as well as people of other communities outside Asia. It is primarily observed in India, Nepal, and other regions of the world with significant populations of Hindu or people of Indian origin. She said the Holi Festival of Colors 2015 is inspired by the original Indian Holi festival. She also said it is not religious and it does not promote any religious aspects or groups. It is about promoting the ideas of unity and camaraderie through colors of everyday life. G u l a l H o l i P o w d e r, which is i mpor ted f rom India, will be used during t he festiva l.

She also said that they are allergen-free and they have the highest quality, color brilliance and safe at the same time. No harmful ingredients and the f ine dust of the powder is extremely low and it is compatible for the skin and hair. She encouraged participants to wear white t-shirts to make the colors more visible.

to about five plastic grocery bags full of plastic for ever y foot of coast line in the world,” said Dr. Jenna Jambeck of the University of Georgia, the study’s lead author. The study suggests that, business as usual with waste management, some 17.5 million MT a year of plastic waste could reach the ocean a year, or as much as 155 million MT from now up to 2025. In the Philippines, a survey conducted in 2014 by EcoWaste Coalition, Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives, Greenpeace and Mother Earth Foundation, found that plastics topped the list of the bay’s marine debris, making up at least 60 percent of the bay garbage; nearly a fourth (23 percent) were plastic bags. “We are a nation of seafarers and fishers, not sea destroyers polluting the oceans w it h plast ics a nd tox ics,” said Aileen Lucero, National Coord i nator of EcoWa ste Coalition. However, she said, “almost 15 years of poor implementation of the Ecological Sol id Waste Ma nagement Act and unheeded calls for national ban on the undoubtedly problematic and persistent plastic bags apparently helped a lot in putting the countr y at the third place in the study’s embarrassing list.” To clean t he oceans of plastic is not likely, said coauthor Roland Geyer, of the

Philippine Economic Literacy By Krystel Joy B. Temario

In a developing country such as Philippines it is important to know the economic status to fully measure its progress. As a citizens of this nation each and every day, we’re subjected to tons of economic information from numerous sources, including television, newspapers and magazines, radio, and the Internet. And even with such an overload of data as this, it represents only a minuscule fraction of the monumentally large and complicated puzzle that makes up the economy. In Stigler’s view, economic literacy is special because it contributes to two classes of knowledge. First, it serves as a “means of communication among people, incorporating a basic vocabulary or logic that is so frequently encountered that the knowledge should be possessed by everyone.” Second, it is a “type of knowledge frequently needed and yet not susceptible to economical purchase from experts.”The question that can be asked at this point is “So what?” Why does it matter whether an individual knows something about basic economic concepts? The answer is that economic knowledge has a direct and substantive effect on people’s opinions about economic issues. Across a number of emerging markets, the coming year will mark a consequential political transition. A relatively steady political leadership, founded upon pro-market macroeconomic policies and a moderate brand of politics and foreign policy, has anchored much of the recent economic gains across rapidly growing economies, as stated by Richard Heydarian. The Philippines, is not expecting any leadership transition up until 2016, when the country’s powerful elites will start negotiating the roster of competing candidates . By most estimates, inflation is expected to stay at around 2-3 percent, while the Philippine Central Bank (BSP) will most likely maintain its current interest rates for much of 2014. This means a steady upward trend in consumption, real estate, and domestic investments. The economic engines will continue to roar, but the real challenge lies once again in the country’s whimpering political institutions. In fact, there had been tons of alleged corruption rising up recently as well as natural disasters, which is common in the country and lastly oligarchic collusion in the electricity sector capturing the political imagination of an increasingly energized middle class. Thus, the demand for steadfast, proactive leadership has risen in proportion. The quality of these decisions can improve with a better understanding of how and where the economy is, where it’s going, and how to track its changes.
