Card Pioneer Launches Micro Crop Insurance for Farmers C

ARD Pioneer Microinsurance Inc (CPMI), a leader in non-life microinsurance, unveils today Binhi Crop Insurance Program.

The product was developed

by CPMI and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to help both farmers and Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs). With the protection of crop insurance, farmers are better able to weather the adverse effects brought about by calamities.

The risks of the farmers are better protected, thus giving the financial institutions a better incentive to lend to these farmers.

Geric Laude, CEO/President of CPMI says, “The good news is that farmers are spared from worries because now they can get much needed relief and are able to pay back their loan in case their crops get damaged by typhoons or flood.

We are also excited to add value to the crop insurance sector by implementing our standard of fast and efficient claims settlement.”

The crop insurance will initially be offered to members of CARD Mutually Reinforcing Institutions (CARD MRI). It aims to reach out to as many as 200,000 farmers by end of 2018. After its pilot run, Binhi Crop Insurance Program will be

made available to other farmers and partners across the country.

A joint venture between CARD MRI and Pioneer, CPMI intends to develop and deploy relevant and affordable non-life microinsurance products. IFC, a member of the World Bank Group is the largest global development institution that collaborates with the private sector in developing countries to create opportunities for all.

Laude adds, “The launch of Binhi Crop Insurance Program is consistent with our company’s mission to lend support to the country’s marginalized sector. In effect, by supporting their livelihood, we help farmers improve the quality of their lives.”

As a symbol of solidarity, Commissioner Emmanuel Dooc from the Insurance Commission, Dr. Jaime Aristotle Alip from CARD MRI, Ms. Yuan Xu from IFC, and Mr. Lorenzo Chan, Jr. from Pioneer were present during the press launch. Meanwhile, to represent farmers, Mr. Raymundo Florencia, received the policy in the Ceremonial Awarding of the product.

“Maraming, maraming salamat po. Malaking tulong po ito sa amin,” (Thank you very much. This will greatly help us.) said the farmer representative.

Make Reading as a Habit By: Maricel Ando-Pobadora –Teacher 111 Old Kibawe Elementary School Old Kibawe , Bukidnon

Adopting reading as a habit is a good start to a passion of exploration and adventure for reading opens mind, makes it rich with knowledge and transcends a person to where the setting of the book is.

Most children w ho achieved academically are pupils who love to read.

It is indeed a good thing for pupils to be able to introduced in reading early for they will appreciate it eventually. True, parents and teachers play big role in guiding their children in order for them to be at their best and be competitive in reading.

It is a fact, however, that the learning to read critically and thoughtfully cannot be achieved in just one snap. There are determined problems that come towards reading competency. Thus, it is important for teachers or parents to understand the source of reading problem of each child in order for it to be addressed. Below are just few.

The child might not recognize start or end sounds.

Many children know their letter sounds, but cannot

recognize these sounds when trying to sound out words.

He cannot spell the word. While there are a number of spelling rules, conventions and exceptions that take time to learn, spelling in the early grades is only a concern if regular, phonetic words are misspelled. Spelling is a key decoding skill.

The child resists reading. Many children with reading difficulties start to resist reading out loud to their parents, and become easily distracted in reading times in school.

He might not find reading an enjoying activity.

Many students do not enjoy reading for any reason text books, assigned texts, novels, newspapers, and magazines.

These are just few of several sources of reading problems among pupils.

Parents and teachers play big role in determining the reason behind a child’s difficulties in reading because once determined, they will be directed on which part to focus, in order for the child to learn reading easier.

English Extravaganza and Read A Thon By: Mary Jane Sicalan-Agnas - Teacher 111 Old Kibawe Elementary School, Old kibawe,Kibawe, Bukidnon

Interventions are very helpful in order to aid student difficulties especially in some subjects at school. These interventions come as programs, projects or activities that entice students to appreciate subject matters that they cannot love while they are inside the classroom.

Reading and usage of English as language is one

area where some students are poor at. Thus, in order to address such problem, DepEd conduct English Extravaganza and Read A Thon.

This event is commonly conducted on the month of September. DepEd will then do a follow up through having inter-school tilts or regional competitions in the following months.

Its highlights include stor ytelling, stor ybook reading, spelling, reading and comprehension, extemporaneous speaking, and jazz chant.

English Extravaganza and Read A Thon is conducted to promote reading literacy of the English language among learners and to enhance reading comprehension. It also pro-

vides venue to shop creative practices for learners to enjoy activities, and develop skills in using English language in both reading and speaking.

Holding events like English Extravaganza and Read A Thon is better avenue to gather interest and encourage mastery in skills that are very much helpful to children’s growth.

TEACHER’S HANDS OFF By: GINNY P. PAMABUSAO - School Principal-I Bangahan Elementary School

The children are the hope for our nation and the mentors are their second parents.

At home, the real parents do the disciplinary actions; but in school who would do the said actions?

Rules and memorandums are stating that every school should implement a child-friendly program and that corporal punishment is prohibited.

A lot of cases involving teachers and pupils are coming out these days. The teachers who hurt their pupils physically and emotionally are put in jail or put into shame. In fact, it has been reported that there was a teacher in this district who died maybe because of shame accompanied with is high pressure.

He was reported criticized and interrogated in a radio station of his disciplinary

actions he did in his school assignments.

Let us look at the two sides of the coin. On one side, the teachers now do not have the right to discipline, punish, or scold the pupils.

On the other side, there is now the “Children’s/Pupils’ Right,” but where is now the “Teachers’ Right?’

Yes, the children have the freedom to do what they want to. But like everybody else, they also have their limits and in the school, teachers are the ones to remind their limitations and that sometimes punishments are implemented.

But, the teachers also have their limits in their freedom to discipline their children. Whichever freedom is displayed, we must also consider our limitations ability by the rules. If we practice corporal punishment, let’s think again…

State of breast cancer in the Philippines By: MAELENE BASTILLADA-TUASTOMBAN DepEd, Division of Lanao del Norte

BREAST cancer, according to a volunteer service network, is the leading killer of women ages 35 to 54 worldwide. Almost half a million die from it every year, making it one of the worst plagues of the modern world. The Philippines also has the highest incidence rate of breast cancer in Asia and registered the highest increase of 589 percent among 187 countries over a 30-year-period from 1980 to 2010, says the Philippine Breast Cancer Network.

Philippine Cancer Registry reports show that breast cancer is the leading type of cancer in the Philippines, with over 10,000 reported

cases and around 7,000 new cases reported every year.

One out of four who are diagnosed with breast cancer die within the first five years. No less than 40 percent die within ten years, PBCN warns.

According to the network, over a million women develop breast cancer without knowing it and more than 50 percent of breast cancer cases remain unexplained. From cysts to breast cancer, only one thing is the culprit: estrogen. Estrogen is the primary female hormone responsible for the development and effective functioning of the female reproductive system.

US aid and imperialism

Saturday, October 22, 2016

For daring the US and others to withdraw their aid, President Rodrigo Duterte has been called a “psychopath”. For those whose way of thinking has been systematically warped by colonialism and neocolonialism/imperialism, it is plain madness. As a poor country, why would we shun the “altruism” of rich countries like the US? On the contrary, the US would rather not stop its aid program here. Since our nominal independence from the US’s colonial rule 70 years ago, patronage through economic and military aid has been a key component of enduring US imperialist domination and plunder of the Philippines.

Beyond altruism Data from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) show that from 2001 to 2014, total economic aid to the Philippines reached more than US$1.94 billion (in current prices).

Total military aidduring the same period reached almost US$566.11 million. That’s a combined US$2.51 billion in 14 years. Annually, the US disbursed US$138.95 million in economic aid and US$40.44 million in military aid or a combined $179.39 million every year from 2001 to 2014.

For 2015, preliminary USAID data show that the US disbursed $180.62 million in economic aid.

There’s no 2015 data yet on military aid from the USAID online database.

Reports, however, say that US military assistance for the Philippines was about US$50 million last year that will reportedly rise to US$79 million in 2016, on top of another US$42 million from the new US-Southeast Asia Maritime Initiative.

Further, note that US assistance to the Philippines has grown quite substantially under President Barack Obama and his declared US pivot to Asia. From 2010 to 2014, US economic aid increased by almost 15% in real terms annually. Military aid grew by almost 8% a year during the same period.

And we’re counting just the bilateral aid from the US. The US is also a major contributor to multilateral bodies like the World Bank and agencies of the United Nations (UN), which provide development aid to the Philippines as well.

That’s a lot of aid money that Duterte would be foregoing if the he will really spurn American patronage.

But as mentioned, there’s more to foreign aid than the simple altruism of donors.

Aid, especially US aid, is used not for development cooperation but to advance the interests and agenda of the donor and deepen their patron-client relationship

with the aid recipient. It is an effective neocolonial tool to foster continued dependence and subservience, and steer domestic policy making in directions that the donor wants. Lastly,aid is also a means for the US to directly create profitmaking opportunities for their transnational corporations (TNCs).

Education, health, disaster relief Remember how the US used the public education system as an integral part of their colonization campaign in the Philippines? It was far more successful in making Filipinos subservient to the colonizers than using purely military might. Colonial education was so effective that many Filipinos could not imagine life without the US. Just look at the reaction to Duterte’s stance on independent foreign policy.

It continues to this day through, among others, the use of foreign assistance.

Classified by purpose, the largest bilateral US aid disbursed to the Philippines in 2015 was in Primary Education at US$25.33 million.

Almost half of this amount, US$12.49 million, went to the Basa Pilipinas project of the USAID. Through this project, the US develops and distributes teaching and learning materials, English books and reading materials, etc. for local teachers to use for their Grades 1-3 pupils. Another US$5.35 million in US aid was also disbursed for Higher Education in 2015.

The second biggest chunk of US aid disbursement last year went to Material Relief Assistance and Services with US$20.37 million. They also disbursed US$3.84 million for Disaster Prevention and Preparedness;US$1.92 million for Emergency Food Aid; and more than US$1 million for Relief Coordination, Protection and Support Services.

The US has been using disaster relief to justify and expand their military presence in disaster-prone countries like the Philip-

pines. The controversial Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA), for instance, was justified using the pretext of humanitarian aid and disaster relief.

American troops can base in military facilities here so they can preposition not just their weapons and war machines but also “humanitarian relief supplies”. (Read for instance, US Secretary of State John Kerry’s recent statement on EDCA made last July 2016) Family Planning also traditionally gets a big portion of US aid with disbursement reaching US$17.08 million in 2015. Related sectors also got significant amounts such as Reproductive Health Care (US$3.94 million) and Population Policy and Administrative Management (US$0.43 million).

Population control has long been a strategy of US imperialism in the Philippines. In 1974, the USAID and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), among others, produced the “Kissinger Report”. It said that population growth threatens US access to the natural resources of poor countries. A large population of youth must also be controlled because they are most likely to challenge US imperialism. The Philippines is one of 13 countries identified in the Kissinger Report as primary targets of US-led population control efforts.

Public health is another major sector that the US has been long supporting in the country. In 2015, the USdisbursed US$16.04 million in aid for Tuberculosis Control and more than US$0.90 million for STD Control including HIV/ AIDS. A productive and efficient (and, of course, cheap) labor force is one of the primary resources that US imperialism exploits for super profits. Control of infectious diseases like TB and AIDShelps ensure an efficient workforce, which poor countries with weak public health systems due to imperialist plunder and underdevelopment could

not afford Plus, big US pharmaceutical companies that have monopoly over patented drugs used in these health programs are assured of markets. In the Philippines, for instance, the anti-TB campaign is a partnership between USAID and Johnson & Johnson, an American pharmaceutical and consumer goods giant.

Aid and policymaking But the biggest impact of US aid in the Philippines is on how national economic policies and priorities are determined. Obama, for instance, introduced the Partnership for Growth (PFG) initiative. It is an aid program participated in and coordinated by the USAID, State Department, Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC) and other US agencies as well as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and various UN bodies.

Through the PFG, the US deepens its role in national policy making such as through the five-year Joint Country Action Plan (JCAP), which identified priority areas for policy reforms in the Philippines.

These include trade and investment liberalization, deregulation, effective enforcement of contracts with private business (such as those engaging in publicprivate partnership or PPP), as well as fiscal and judicial reforms.

An example of how US steers internal policy-making is the PFG’s centerpiece program in the Philippines, which is the $433.91-million grant from the MCC. The MCC is a highly conditional aid and requires the Philippines to, among others, maintain so-called “economic freedom” to continue receiving the grant.

One of the indicators of economic freedom, as designed by the MCC, is the Trade Policy Indicator.

It measures the country’s openness to international trade based on average tariff rates and non-tariff barriers (e.g. trade quotas, produc-

tion subsidies, government procurement procedures, anti-dumping, local content requirements, etc.) to trade. The “Compact” or agreement between the Philippine government (as represented then by the Aquino administration) and MCC is that the latter may suspend or terminate the grant if the country fails to reverse its policies that are inconsistent with the Trade Policy Indicator and other indicators designed by the MCC. Also part of the implementation of the PFG is The Arangkada Philippines Project (TAPP) of the USAID and the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham). Through the USAID-funded TAPP, AmCham is pushing for 471 specific recommendations that promote the interest of foreign corporations in the country through greater liberalization, deregulation, privatization and denationalization. These are contained in the comprehensive advocacy paper “Arangkada Philippines 2010: A business perspective” prepared by the Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce in the Philippines (JFC), of which AmCham is a key member.

Under the TAPP, the JFC has been producing Legislation Policy Briefsthat identify broad recommendations for Congress and the Executive. Among the many proposals of the JFC is the lifting of constitutional restrictions on foreign investments through Charter change (Cha-cha).

All these are in preparation for the country’s future

membership in the US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement. The TPP is an ambitious free trade deal and the latest campaign of US imperialism to further deepen and consolidate its economic domination in Asia Pacific in the face of a rising China. Just last March 2016, the US Chamber of Commerce, with funding from USAID under the PFG’s five-year US$12.84million Trade-Related Assistance for Development (TRADE) project, released its “readiness assessment” of Philippine membership in the TPP. The said report examined the “consistency of the country’s existing policy framework with the agreement’s requirements, and the implied changes that may be necessary if the Philippines is to meet these requirements”. As expected, one of the “implied changes” is liberalization through Cha-cha. (The full report may be downloadedhere) Military patronage Lastly, the US employs military aid not to modernize the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) but to maintain its influence and control over our military. US military aid mostly comes in the form of Foreign Military Financing (FMF). Under the FMF, the US provides grants and loans to help the Philippines buy US-made weapons and defense equipment as well as acquiring defense services and military training.

In 2014, US$50 million in FMF was disbursed by the US to the Philippines out of See IMPERIALISM, page B7

Davao tourism sector getting ready for hosting of ASEAN Summit 2017 event DAVAO City - The Department of Tourism (DOT) and other government agencies here are getting ready for Davao City’s hosting of one of events of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit next year when the Philippines sits as chair.

This, as Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Corazon Wanda T. Teo announced during the Tourism General Assembly that

government and the private sectors were working together under one committee named as the ASEAN 2017 Committee on Tourism Hospitality, Tours, Social Events, and Site Enhancement under Administrative Order No. 48.

The committee is chaired

by DOT with members representing the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Tourism Promotions Board (TPB), Tourism

Infrastructure and Enterprise Authority (TIEZA), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and the National Commission of the Culture and the Arts (NCCA).

Teo said the Davao tourism sector will play a big role in this event because there will be several meetings that will be held in Davao City.

She said the launching of Philippine Chairmanship of the ASEAN will take place here with about 1,000 guests.

The SEOM 1/48 and the Committee of the Whole Meeting will also be held here with 322 officials at-

tending.

The Senior Officials Meetings are the 31st Meeting of the High-Level Talk Force on ASEAN Economic Integration with 77 officials; also the SEOM 3/48 with 313 officials; and the 35th Senior Officials Meeting on Energy (SOME) and Associated Meeting with 300 officials.

Teo said a tourism group will handle tours for the delegations to the country’s

best cultural attractions and unique landscape and seascape. It should be incentivized or customized depending on the agency theme and interests, which may require staging of activities in some sites of attractions.

Preparations are also focused on the making of souvenirs and other special gifts where small entrepreneurs are being tapped.

rejects US aid to pursue a truly independent foreign policy and nurture development cooperation with other countries based on mutual respect and sovereignty, then we are already taking the initial steps to address the underlying causes of our poverty and hunger

(CAAP), Land Transportation Office (LTO), National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), and local disaster risk reduction and management councils vowed to coordinate with one another to ensure the safety of the public.

These agencies will also place their personnel and rescue assets on alert.

The public are encouraged to seek assistance from the help desk of the agencies posted.

Cañeda also warns the public to follow all prohibitions and security procedures set by the authorities to avoid untoward incidents.

the total US$57 million in military aid that year. The Philippines is traditionally one of the largest recipients of FMF among all US allies. It ranked fifth in 2014 in terms of FMF behind Egypt, Israel, Pakistan and Jordan. The country also accounted for 64% of US FMF in East Asia and the Pacific. (Data here) However, military items that the country gets under the FMF and other US military aid programs are either surplus or second-hand and antiquated military articles. They are also not actually given for free but are sold at a discount (with a portion of the amount shouldered or waived by the US through the FMF).

Examples include the five-decade old US Coast Guard vessels (“Hamiltonclass cutters”) that the US Navy has retired and sold to the Philippines. Since 2012, the Philippines has already bought two of these decommissioned ships for

about US$25 million – and a third one is expected soon – through the FMF, Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and Excess Defense Article (EDA) programs.

The weapons systems of the ships have also been removed by the US prior to their turnover to the Philippine Navy. The country had to separately purchase from the US the vessels’ weapons and guns as well as additional technology including radar system, anti-ship missile system, etc. US military aid thus also means more business for the US military industrial complex.

Aside from FMF, other US military aid programs in the Philippines include counter-narcotics, military education and training, cooperative threat reduction, and counter-terrorism fellowship program.

Along with annual military exercises under the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), military aid fosters complete dependence of the AFP on US military technology, hardware and

expertise. It also helps justify the continued presence of American troops in the country. But despite decades of US military patronage, the AFP remains one of the weakest and least modernized in the region.

The Abu Sayyaf that the US has long been using to legitimize their military presence in the country persists and continues to terrorize the people.

Mutual respect, sovereignty Foreign aid is not necessarily bad. It is, in fact, an important element of cooperation among countries to promote development.

But as the case of US aid in the Philippines illustrates, aid could also be used to perpetuate the skewed relationship between the donor and recipient, between the colonial master and colony.

Such unequal, oppressive and exploitative relation between the US and the Philippines is the real reason why the country is underdeveloped and Filipinos are starving. If the Duterte administration
