Clark bribery probed NBI told to look into Impeach-move won’t prosper—Aguirre Immigration payoffs By Rey E. Requejo

HE Justice Department has ordered the National Bureau of Investigation to look into reports that millions of pesos were paid to Bureau of Immigration employees to allow more than 70 detained Chinese nationals at the Clark Freeport in Pampanga to escape.

“We will leave no stone unturned and there will be no sacred cows. We will hold those found responsible accountable,” Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II said Sunday.

The escapees were among 1,316 Chinese nationals who were recently arrested for working in an illegal online casino owned by gaming mogul Jack Lam. Earlier, Aguirre said reports indicated that BI insiders were offered P100,000 to P250,000 for each released detainee.

Those who got free managed to escape supposedly by jumping over the walls of their temporary detention facility at the Fontana Leisure Park and Casino Hotel.

More than half of them were either rearrested or have surrendered.

Aguirre said the detainees would not have been able to escape without the aid of Immigration employees.

“Corruption of any kind has no place in the DoJ family; it has no place in government,” said Aguirre, who exercise administrative super-

vision over the BI and the NBI. He said the BI investigation was in line with President Rodrigo Duterte’s platform to rid government agencies of corruption.

Aguirre earlier said the BI would be the next target in his anti-corruption drive after the Bureau of Corrections, saying the agency has been home to various syndicates involved in corruption.

President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered Lam arrested for economic sabotage and bribery.

Lam, who has been blacklisted, is said to be out of the country, but Aguirre said he could return and continue his businesses provided he settle his tax deficiencies and obtain proper permits from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp.

Earlier, it was reported that the one-stop-shop that handled the undocumented Chinese employees at Fontana was headed by the daughter of Pagcor chairwoman Andrea Domingo, who accused

THREE soldiers were killed and 17 others were wounded Saturday after members of the 35th Infantry Battalion encountered more than 150 Abu Sayyaf fighters led by Radullam Sahiron and Yasser Igasan in Patikul, Sulu, Maj. Felimon Tan Jr., spokesman of the Western Mindanao Command, said Sunday.

Tan said an undetermined number of ASG fighters were also killed or wounded.

The soldiers were supported by close air and artillery support.

“They’re just making a big issue from it. If you examine the President’s statement, he merely exercised his freedom of expression,” he said.

He also rejected Trillanes’ claim that the President could be held liable for murder after publicly saying he ordered Espinosa’s killing.

“That’s the theory of someone who has no knowledge of the law.

That’s the problem with someone who pretends to be a lawyer. He is not a lawyer,” Aguirre said.

He said there was no demoralization in the National Bureau of Investigation after the President

blocking and pursuit operations,” Tan said.

Of the wounded soldiers, two needed to be airlifted to Zamboanga City for further medical attention because of serious injuries.

The military has launched intensified operations against the Abu Sayyaf Group in Sulu.

The encounter broke out after the government troops assaulted s terrorist encampment past 10 a.m. on Saturday in Bud Taming, Barangay Kabbontakkas.

The firefight lasted almost two hourse before the terrorists withdrew, bringing with them a number of their casualties, Tan said. twitter.com/ MlaStandard

publicly rejected its findings on the criminal liability of the CIDG team led by former CIDG Eastern Visayas director Marvin Marcos.

“I was able to talk to them [NBI officials] about it and they didn’t say anything negative to me,” he said.

In his speech last week, Duterte said he still believed the claims of the CIDG that the killing of Espinosa resulted from a shootout after he fired at them, and despite the NBI findings that it was a rubout.

ANY MOVES to impeach President Rodrigo Duterte for defending the policemen being held liable for the killing of Albuera, Leyte Mayor Rolando Espinosa will prosper, Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II said Sunday.

He downplayed the insinuations by Senators Leila de Lima and Antonio Trillanes IV that Duterte could be held liable and impeached for saying he would not allow the Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group team who had

been involved in Espinosa’s killing to go to jail.

He said Duterte did not violate the Constitution or betray public trust in issuing his statement.

“What is impeachable about it?

What trust did the President betray?” Aguirre said, He insisted that Duterte made the statement as part of his freedom to express himself.

Aguirre, who served as a private prosecutor in the impeachment trial of the late Chief Justice Renato Corona, said the reaction from the President’s critics were exaggerated.

Aquino spared from dengue inquiry

By Macon R. Araneta FORMER President Benigno Aquino III will not be invited to the Senate Blue Ribbon investigation of the allegedly anomalous procurement of P3.5 billion worth

of dengue vaccines shortly before the May 2016 elections, Senator Richard Gordon said Sunday.

“At this point in the investigation we have not invited President Aquino,” said Gordon, chairman of the Blue Ribbon committee.

The purchase of the medicines was made during the time of Health Secretary Janette Garin who was appointed to her post in December 2014 or a month after being designated acting secretary.

Senator questions EJK report SENATOR Francis Pangilinan said Sunday it was misleading to say he fully agreed to the Senate report that said the summary killings taking place in the country was not state-sponsored.

“It appears that the 11 senators who signed the committee report agree with its findings when in fact the affixed signature is followed by the words ‘I dissent,’ which is what I did,” said Pangilinan in his Facebook account.

“We also stated that we would be filing a separate opinion and in it we will be stating the basis of our dissent on key points.”

Pangilinan made the clarification following reports that he and 10 other members of the Senate committee on justice and human rights, led by Senator Richard Gordon, completely agreed with the committee report that there was no evidence to show that there was a State-sponsored policy to eradicate illegal drugs.

The findings virtually cleared President Rodrigo Duterte of any liability in the killings that are taking place as a result of his bloody war against illegal drugs.

Pangilinan, the president of the Liberal Party, said he disagreed with some portions of the report.

The report was drafted by Gordon and Panfilo Lacson, chairmen of the Senate committees on public order and dangerous drugs, which jointly conducted the Senate hearings on the extrajudicial killings and summary executions.

Pangilinan, Gordon and Lacson aside, the other senators who signed the report were Gregorio Honasan II, Loren Legarda, Juan Miguel Zubiri, Nancy Binay, Manny Pacquiao, Alan Peter Cayetano, Franklin Drilon and Vicente Sotto III. Pangilinan said he “will dissent/concur in part.” Cayetano said he had “reservations and amendments,” while Drilon said he signed “with reservations and will interpellate.”

Despite signing the report, Lacson said the finding that the killings were not State-sponsored was not conclusive since Gordon barred some witnesses from testifying following his spat with Commission on Human Rights Commissioner Roberto Cadiz.

“The report is not conclusive.

“It’s just that no evidence was presented to prove the killings were State-sponsored,” Lacson said.

He said he was dismayed when Gordon did not allow the witnesses from the CHR to testify.

As a result, he said, Gordon stood his ground and never allowed the CHR witnesses to give their testimony during the hearing on extrajudicial killings and summary executions.

“That is only one aspect to which I do not agree. Because every time there was a hearing, these witnesses were there. Only the witnesses from Pasay and Antipolo were able to testify,” Lacson said.

Those who did not sign the report were Senators Ralph Recto, Leila de Lima, Antonio Trillanes IV, Joseph Victor Ejercito and Grace Poe. Trillanes called Gordon a “lackey” of Duterte and his committee report a “cover-up” for the extrajudicial killings that started and surged when Duterte assumed the presidency.

He assailed him for covering up all the evidence linking the President to the killings as an offshoot of his war on drugs that have claimed the lives of more than 5,000 people. Macon Ramos-Araneta

it was murder,” Duterte said. After all, the NBI is under me [and also] the Department of Justice.”

Aguirre earlier vowed to proceed with the preliminary investigation of the case and the other charges against Marcos and the other respondents, saying the President’s remarks would not affect the criminal proceedings.

A high-level panel composed of five prosecutors has also been tapped for the probe and the Justice Department is expected to subpoena the respondents soon.

The depreciation of the peso means that the oil companies will need more pesos to pay for their orders.

Last week the oil firms cut the price of diesel by P0.25 per liter but did not touch gasoline and kerosene prices.

As this developed, Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi has directed Undersecretary Donato Marcos to conduct inspections and sampling of liquid petroleum products in various gasoline stations and retail outlets nationwide for compliance with existing Philippine National Standards for fuels, especially focusing on the presence of methanol in their liquid petroleum products.

would give him broad powers, not only over land but also air and sea transport.

The lawmakers said they did not see any traffic congestion in airports or seaports nationwide.

A freedom of information bill also failed to pass at the committee level.

Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez last week called for an all-majoritymember caucus to ask them which of the priority bills should be passed.

With only two hearings held, the House committee on ways and means, voting 26-0 passed House Bill 4144 amending the Sin Tax Law that would have imposed a unitary tax on all brands at P30 per pack by Jan. 1, 2017.

The panel members approved the bill authored by ABS Rep. Eugene Michael de Vera, who pushed for a two-tier tax system that would increase the tax rate for low-priced brands to P32 from P25 per pack and the rate for high-end brands to P36 per pack from P29.

De Vera and panel chairman Quirino Rep. Dakila Carlos Cua were trying to beat the January 1 implementation of the unitary tax system.

The day after the proposed amended sin tax bill was approved, the House committee on rules, chaired by House Majority Leader Rodolfo Fariñas immediately scheduled the bill for plenary debate.

dard for petroleum products, some stations were found to contain methanol instead of ethanol.

The presence of methanol in the gasoline can cause corrosion in the engine.

The department applies standard operating procedures in sampling and testing to determine the compliance of petroleum products.

“We look into the quantity and quality of petroleum products being sold to our consumers. Initially, inspection results showed that all gasoline samples passed the calibration test for quantity of fuels. But for quality, only one sample is still being confirmed for having methanol at the DoE laboratory,” Cusi said.

He said the department saw the need to intensify this campaign to further protect the consumer.

“That is why this activity is simultaneously being done nationwide through the DoE’s Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao Field Offices,” he said.

“We only leased the machines with no bidding and now you say they’re as good as sold? What is this?” she said in Filipino.

Guanzon said Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista has granted the request of Smartmatic for a closeddoor meeting with all the commissioners to iron out the problem.

But Guanzon said she would not attend the meeting because it might send the wrong signal to the public. She suggested instead an en banc meeting without Smartmatic.

“Why should I attend? What will be decided during that meeting? What will be fixed behind closed doors? People might think we are conniving over the P2 billion,” she said.

In a separate interview, Bautista said the Comelec requested to defer the delivery of some VCMs to Smartmatic because of the

electoral protest filed by Marcos before the Supreme Court, sitting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal.

Marcos has filed election protest against the proclamation of Vice President Leni Robredo who won by a slim margin of 260,000 votes.

Bautista said Smartmatic’s move to charge the Comelec P2 billion for the unreturned VCMs is based on the “options to purchase” provision in the contract that the Comelec signed with the poll technology provider.

But he said the Comelec had already made a “constructive delivery” or a paper deliver on November 29.

On December 1, the poll body announced that it had turned over 97,366 optical mark reader machines and the Election Management Systems but retained 151 OMR machines.

At the same time, Bautista said the meeting between Smartmatic and the Comelec was approved by the commissioners, not just by him.

Anthony Leachon, a doctor and an independent health advocate and member of the Dengue Expert Panel convened by the Health department, also questioned how P3.5 billion was allocated for a single vaccine when the entire vaccination program of the department totaled P3 billion.

He pointed out the procedural lapses in the dengue vaccination program, the evident conflict of interest in the members of the formulary executive community, and the supposed bloating/overpricing of the particular drug.

He cited the time line of the department’s dengue vaccina-

tion program starting from the meeting between Aquino and Sanofi representatives during the Climate Change Summit in Paris on Dec. 2, 2014.

Gordon said testing for the new vaccine had not yet been completed when the government procured it.

This was supported by Leachon who cited calls from the scientific community for a longer study to ensure the safety of the beneficiaries Gordon said he invited to the next hearing medical experts and officials from the Department of Health and its attached agencies, the Department of

Budget and Management and the Commission on Audit to further clarify the Dengvaxia vaccine’s attributes and testing methods/results to date in the Philippines and how the procurement by the Health department was processed.

“Certain issues have been brought to the attention of the committee and the Senate concerning a vaccine called Dengvaxia and there are certain issues that have been presented, issues concerning the capability of the product, the manner of testing whether there were sufficient testing that had happened,” Gordon said.

Cayetano and opposition member Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman questioned the speed with which the bill was being processed.

Cayetano moved that the bill be referred first to the House committee on health as the health matters were not discussed by the Cua panel.

Lagman accused the House leadership of railroading the bill’s passage.

“What are the merits of this measure so much so that we will sideswipe the unitary system?

What are the overriding reasons to jettison the unitary system?”

Lagman said during the plenary debate.

“Rules require the provision of a committee report. As I review the committee report, there is nothing here that discuss the submissions of the resource persons that will justify its adoption. This does not comply with the rules,” Lagman added.

“Debate on a multi-tier system has been ongoing. With a higher rate, it will give more revenue and curb the smoking rate,” Cua said.

Cayetano, however, said that as a sponsor of the sin tax bill when she was in the Senate, the move to a unitary tax was aimed at protecting people’s health.

A two-tier system, she said, would make the cheapest cigarettes available to the poor.

“We negate all positive outcomes of the PhilHealth and GHW Law,” Cayetano said, seeking to open debates on the issue in the health committee.

But Cua defended the bill, saying the unitary tax system would prejudice farmers from tobacco

producing regions.

Lagman, on the other hand, said this issue had already been settled when the Sin Tax law was passed.

House Deputy Speaker Fredenil Castro, meanwhile, said he prevailed upon the Speaker to defer the passage of the death penalty bill so that it could be discussed lengthily in the plenary deliberations.

The revival of capital punishment is bound to set back the Philippine government’s efforts to bring to justice criminals who have fled abroad, House Senior Deputy Minority Leader and Buhay Rep. Lito Atienza warned Sunday.

“Once Congress restores the death penalty, we could lose the ability to bring home and prosecute drug lords, plunderers, embezzlers and even murderers who have slipped out of the country,” Atienza said.

Many countries around the world oppose capital punishment, and would refuse to send fugitives back to the Philippines if they could face trial here for felonies that may be punished by death sentences, according to Atienza.

“We may have situations wherein Filipinos with arrest warrants issued by Philippine courts are captured overseas, but foreign governments won’t repatriate the escapees on grounds they could be executed here after trial,” Atienza said.

The House committee on justice, voting 12-6 with one abstention, approved last week a bill reinstating death verdicts for heinous offenses such as drug trafficking, murder, rape, robbery, carjacking,

kidnapping, bribery, plunder, parricide, infanticide, destructive arson, piracy, and treason.

The bill was expected to be submitted for plenary approval shortly, in accordance with President Rodrigo Duterte wish to put 50 convicts to death every month to help deter crime.

Meanwhile, Alvarez announced that the House is set to approve this week a joint resolution increasing

by P2,000 the monthly pension of the SSS pensioners under the Social Security Act of 1997 after the measure was passed by the committee on government enterprises and privatization on Dec. 6.

The first tranche will be given this December.

North Cotabato Rep. Jesus N. Sacdalan, committee chairman, said he and Senator Richard Gordon, chairman of the Senate committee on government corporations and public enterprises, met last Tuesday and agreed that the second tranche of the SSS pension hike amounting to P1,000 will be given by 2019.

Sacdalan said the committee opted last December 6 to instead pass a joint resolution to ensure speedy approval and implementation of the SSS pension hike proposal.

“We will certainly pass it before the holiday break,” Sacdalan said.

As of January 2016, there are about 33-million SSS members and 2.15-million retirees receiving their pensions upon retirement, the joint resolution said.

Campos said P2,000 monthly pension is being eyed for “older” indigent seniors as the government sets aside P18 billion for the P500 monthly stipend of 2.8-million poverty-stricken elderly persons.

Indigent seniors, Campos said, refer to all Filipinos who are 60 years old and above who are without regular pension from the SSS or the Government Service Insurance System, or lacking a permanent source of income, compensation, or regular and appropriate financial assistance from relatives.

In battling for the swift passage of his bill, Campos invoked the mandate of the 1987 Constitution for the state “to care for the elderly through just programs of social security, and to provide improved quality of life for all.”

“We have to extend greater financial support to extremely deprived seniors who tend to be weaker and more vulnerable owing to their highly advanced age,” Campos said.

“An allowance of P2,000 per month, or P24,000 per annum, would serve as a bigger helping hand to destitute seniors who are at least 70 years old, and who have absolutely no one else to turn to for financial aid,” he said.

Besides, Campos said that under the law, Congress is supposed to review the monthly subsidy for impoverished seniors every two years.

“Yet, we have not raised the pension in the last six years,” he said.

Solons chide Customs over smuggling

M

EMBERS of a House committee on Sunday criticized the Bureau of Customs for its failure to act on the smuggling of firecrackers and pyrotechnic products which continued to proliferate ahead of the holiday season.

The House committee on public order and safety stressed that the smuggling of firecrackers not only affects the local manufacturing industry but also poses health and safety problems because the imported items are not being subjected to safety and quality standards inspections.

During the recent hearing of the committee chaired by Rep. Romeo M. Acop of Antipolo City,

Rep. Arnolfo “Arnie” A. Teves Jr. of Negros Oriental asked if it is the Philippine National Police or the BoC which should be held accountable so the people would know who they will contact whenever they see imported firecrackers being sold.

Teves expressed the belief the BoC should be held accountable because imported firecrackers are considered illegal, hence,

those being sold in the country were smuggled.

“If nobody will be held accountable, these illegal products would continue to proliferate,” said Teves.

Teves said it was his first time to know during the course of the committee hearing that the importation of firecrackers is illegal.

Acop said the first line of defense, in so far as smuggled items are concerned, is the BoC. Acop, a lawyer and a former director of the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group said that any law enforcement agency, and pursuant to special laws wherein deputation is needed, the PNP and the National Bureau of Investigation can operate

against the smuggled items.

“That is the general rule as far as the law enforcement agencies are concerned,” said Acop.

Acop then moved to include the BoC in the committee’s technical working group that will consolidate all five proposals to regulate the manufacture, sale, distribution, and use of firecrackers.

Deputy Speaker Gwendolyn “Gwen” Garcia of Cebu said that based on the Joint Memorandum Circular, which enjoins the Department of the Interior and Local Government, Philippine National Police, Armed Forces of the Philippines, departments of Health, of Trade and Industry, and of Finance along with BoC, and local government units in so far as

the confiscation of smuggled firecrackers are concerned, it is the DTI that is tasked to seized the illegal items and charge the importer or trader.

“Per Section 3.8.2 of the Joint Memorandum Circular, on cases of imported fireworks and firecrackers being seen in the local market, the DTI will cause the confiscation of the said products and issue formal charges against the trader or importer,” said Garcia.

Teves said the PNP should help in the confiscation of the illegal items because the DTI may not have enough personnel to undertake such responsibility.

Rep. Arthur R. Defensor of Iloilo said the imported firecrackers

can be confiscated on the spot because these are considered illegal.

Defensor said under the existing law, the importation of firecrackers is prohibited, and yet the people see the proliferation of these items. “What must be done is to improve the quality of locally manufactured firecrackers and export them instead of buying smuggled ones,” said Defensor.

Jovenson Ong, president of the Philippine Fireworks Association, said based on a DoH report, 57 percent of firecracker-related injuries are due to smuggled firecrackers which are of poor quality and hence, unsafe. He urged the government to stop the smuggling of firecrackers to save the people from harm.

‘Pension hike for indigent seniors’ A BILL has been filed seeking to raise to P2,000 the monthly pension of poverty-stricken senior citizens who are at least 70 years old, House Bill 2653, introduced by House deputy minority leader and Makati City Rep. Luis Campos Jr., proposes to amend the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010 that currently provides a straight P500 monthly stipend to all indigent Filipinos 60 years old and above.

In battling for the passage of his bill, Campos invoked the mandate of the 1987 Constitution for the State “to care for the elderly through just programs of social security, and to provide improved quality of life for all.”

“An allowance of P2,000 per month, or P24,000 per annum, would serve as a bigger helping hand to the destitute seniors who are at least 70 years old, and who have absolutely no one else to turn to for financial aid,” he said.

Campos said that under the law, Congress is supposed to review the monthly subsidy for impoverished seniors every two years for a possible upward revision. “Yet, we have not raised the pension in the last six years,” he said.

Campos’ proposal came as the national government prepares to spend some P17.94 billion next year for the P500 monthly (or P6,000 yearly) grant of hard up seniors.

Solon reminds transport board on colorum Chinese rifles arriving —Du30

By Rio N. Araja

TRANSPORTATION regulators are pressed for action on the influx of illegal vehicles using provisional permits of Uber, Grab and other mobileapp based networks.

Camarines Sur Rep. Luis Ray Villafuerte on Sunday said that it has been a month since the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board

promised to streamline its regulations amid mounting complaints against abusive drivers and the illegal practice of colorum cars plying the streets.

“With every complaint that we hear against Uber and Grab, the LTFRB’s standard response is to say that it will tighten and review its rules covering these transport networking firms. But reassurances alone are not enough. The riding public wants action, not

words,” he said.

“What would take LTFRB to buckle down to work on such complaints and illegal practices?

It’s failure to act swiftly has only emboldened erring drivers to commit abuses and operators to resort to irregular practices.”

The government had exposed the illegal practice of transport network operators of encouraging partner-drivers to operate their car-riding services even

without provisional authority from the LTFRB. Under current rules, the LTFRB said operators of apprehended vehicles have been required to pay P200,000 for operating transport services illegally.

No provisions or fines are imposed by the LTFRB against Uber and Grab for activating the accounts of their partnerdrivers even without a franchise.

The Manila City Hall will likewise give awards to four members of the Manila Police District Explosive Ordnance Division who detonated the bomb.

Police have arrested three suspects in connection with the foiled bomb attack.

National Capital Region Police Office chief Dir. Oscar Albayalde said one of the suspects, Mohammad Jumao-as, was part of the terrorist cell of the Al-Khilafah in the Philippines that was based in Bulacan.

“Our target hardening measures, which include intelligence gathering and counterterrorism measures, will strengthen our security efforts,” Albayalde said. Sandy Araneta

Discipline is key, says MMDA chief METRO Manila Development Authority chairman Tim Orbos on Sunday allayed fears of traffic gridlock crippling Metro Manila during the Christmas holidays, citing reforms and new methodologies his team has set in place to keep movement of people and cargo at normal pace.

Addressing North Luzon mediamen in Lingayen, Pangasinan, the brother of former Transportation Secretary Oscar Orbos and Fr. Jerry Orbos said it was “providential to introduce meaningful reforms and innovations under a courageous President Duterte.”

He said the Christmas rush was creating a similar traffic problem on provincial roads citing Metro Manila as a microcosm of the national situation.

It was during the term of his brother Oscar when the color coding and odd even number schemes were adopted, reducing traffic bottlenecks significantly.

However, he said the role of discipline and respect for law and traffic regulation is crucial, but expressed confidence the public feels the government’sseriousness in enforcing the rules and the law, which he said “is a significant factor in getting road movement to normal.”

By Sandy Araneta THE firearms ordered by Philippines from China are ready to be shipped, a month after the United States decided to stop the sale of 26,000 rif les to Manila, President Rodrigo Duterte said.

“China is pressing me that the firearms are ready.

I will accept these. They rushed these for us,” Duterte said during a visit to the Armed Forces of the Philippines’ Northern Luzon Command at Camp Aquino in Tarlac City.

“The rif les are ready and they want to ship these immediately. So its obvious that China wants to give these to us,” he added.

Duterte said the firearms deal will be payable in 25 years.

“So it’s really very easy for us,” he said. “We do not need to ask for these from other [countries] because they [China] are willing to give it. It’s not free but it’s a grant actually. If it’s a grant payable in 25 years that is really practically giving.”

Duterte said he will likely send Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana to finalize the purchase.

“I told the Defense secretary: go to them and get the firearms. I suppose we would send some general to receive,” he said.

Duterte visited Beijing in October where he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Apart from China, Duterte said the government is also considering getting firearms from Russia.

Cooperating against the terrorists

I

N A move that demonstrates the benefits of strong regional cooperation on security issues, Malaysian forces on Saturday killed a leader of the Abu Sayyaf terrorist gang and two of his cohorts in a foiled kidnap attempt in Lahad Datu, Malaysia.

Abu Sayyaf commander Abraham Hamid had led the kidnapping of several foreigners from a tourist resort in Mindanao last year, including two Canadian hostages that were later beheaded after demands for millions of dollars were not met.

“The death of Hamid is a big blow to the [Abu Sayyaf] as it neutralized one of the

notorious bandits and will degrade their capability for spotting and kidnapping victims in the future,” said Maj. Filemon Tan, regional military spokesman for the Philippines.

Tan said Hamid had also been involved in the kidnapping of four Indonesian crewmen in April.

Two other fighters were killed alongside Hamid in the

shootout with Malaysian police in Lahad Datu in eastern Sabah, while Sabah security forces have arrested two others, Tan said.

Malasian Prime Minister Najib Razak, meanwhile, praised his security forces and said his country would cooperate with the Philippines to fight the recurring kidnappings.

In November, the Philippines agreed to allow Malaysia and Indonesia to carry out hot pursuit operations into its territorial waters as the three countries sought to deal more decisively with the kidnapping and piracy.

The agreement was announced by Najib after a

meeting with President Rodrigo Duterte, who visited Malaysia last month.

“When we reach their waters, they have allowed us to keep chasing these kidnap-forransom groups,” Najib said at the time.

Earlier, the President had also come to an agreement with Indonesian President Joko Widodo on strengthening border cooperation.

The Abu Sayyaf bandits, who have gone on a lucrative kidnapping spree in recent years, have defied more than a decade of military operations.

In fact, the Abu Sayyaf have managed to survive recurring military offensives over the years because of the huge

ransoms they have amassed and the support they draw from those living in their strongholds of Sulu and Basilan, who benefit from the abductions.

Clearly, efforts to go it alone in the battle against the bandits have not been enough to dismantle the kidnap-for-ransom cottage industry that the Abu Sayyaf have established over the year. Obtaining the help of our neighbors, who also suffer from the kidnapping menace, was the logical next step.

Sometime next year, the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia will begin joint training aimed at securing the Sulu Sea from rampant piracy.

The military training will take place in Indonesia’s

Tarakan in North Kalimantan, Malaysia’s Tawau in Sabah, where Lahad Datu is located, and the Philippines’ Bongao Island.

Indonesian Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu said the three training locations would later become outposts for a joint task force assigned to help secure Sulu waters.

The regional initiative is a step forward, and one that ought to strengthen the country’s own military offensive against the Abu Sayyaf bandits. We look forward to the eventual eradication of these lawless elements, who have for far too long held, not just their victims, but also the country itself hostage.

True, when the holidays shall have passed, the vexing, trying, divisive issues will be there: Tokhang and the alarming body count, EJKs and the protests of human rights advocates, politics, politicians, their schemes and their machinations, the death penalty and the brutality with which some would want it inflicted. But if we find Bethlehem and we look at the Manger to which the world’s attention has been drawn by the choir of angels, we will behold ourselves— more accurately, the beauty, divinity, holiness and innocence to which we are summoned, into which we are configured and that is promised us as our future.

FR. RANHILIO CALLANGAN AQUINO THE days of Cesar Augustus were supposed to have been days of peace. World history records Octavian’s reign as the Pax Augusta. The Christmas Proclamation—the liturgical oration announcing the birth of the Lord—recites: anno Imperiii Augusti Octaviani, quadragesimo secundo, toto Orbe in pace composito…In the 42nd year of the reign of Octavian Augustus, the whole world being in peace…

But that was how the overlords looked at things. They had subdued the world. And the bloodstained transition from the days of the Republic to the Principate phase of the Empire was now behind them. But, really, all was not well. The Zealots were plotting rebellion, creating mayhem whenever they could, and an irascible and dangerously suspicious Idumean was seated on the throne of the King of the Jews, a puppet perhaps but wielding tremendous powers with the temper of a brat. Of course, this

THE impeachment of South Korean leader Park Geunhye should herald the end of a painful and drawn-out political scandal. As they move forward, Koreans should be thinking about how to avoid another one.

With Friday’s 234-to-56 vote in the National Assembly, Park’s powers as president have been suspended. For weeks, she tried to fend off public anger over influence-peddling allegations involving a private confidant, Choi Soon-sil. Park admitted sharing speeches and other information with Choi; prosecutors claim she also encouraged aides to help Choi squeeze millions of dollars in “donations” from large Korean conglomerates, or chaebol.

Public outrage pushed Park’s popularity below five percent, and hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets. Even if she had escaped impeachment, she could hardly have accomplished anything further of substance.

It seems unlikely that the Constitutional Court, which must ratify Park’s impeachment, would defy such a clear expression of public will. It should now act quickly to eliminate any uncertainty so the next government can take shape without delay. Ideally, an election for a new president can be held within a few months.

South Korea’s next leader will want to follow through on Park’s actions to strengthen national security: her decision to station a US missile defense shield in South Korea, for instance, and the deal to increase intelligence-sharing with Japan.

And it will be essential to keep sight of the country’s long-term economic needs. As the Choi scandal demonstrated, the chaebol remain as powerful and politically connected as ever. Calls to professionalize their management and ease their stranglehold on the Korean economy have grown louder than ever and should be heeded. Innovative small and medium-sized companies require financing and greater support. And South Korea’s rigid labor market needs to be loosened up. What growth the country has managed recently has been bought at the expense of rising debt, and that’s not a sustainable strategy.

Finally, South Korea’s next leader will have to address the country’s special vulnerability to presidential scandal.

was a corner of the Roman Empire that really did not matter that much, except when things got out of hand. And in a still more hidden corner of this nondescript fringe of the dominion, something was happening in an animal shelter that was to change the world. It has happened many times that changes that have reshaped human history started from the fringes.

What happened at Bethlehem made destiny of eternity, not wishful thinking—and Bethlehem was really nowhere on the map of the significant!

Neither is everything well with us. There are just too many issues that do not only divide us but that threaten to be our undoing us a nation. And the unpredictability and irascibility of those who lead us is not helping at all.

Opinion

MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2016

Going federal LARGELY unnoticed due to the current political noise, Executive Secretary Bingbong Medialdea informed the Senate last Thursday morning that the President had formed a 25-member advisory commission in preparation for the revision of the 1987 Constitution.

The commission, once formed, is the first step towards the long and arduous path towards revising the fundamental law of the land. Thirty years under a Constitution forged during the “revolutionary” reign of President Corazon Aquino is enough. We have to begin the process of change.

That Constitution was forged under precariously transitional times.

The “revolutionary” president hand-picked 50 “wise” men and women who were still psychologically and emotionally reacting to the ecesses of the Martial Law regime. The supreme incongruity of that hastily written Constitution lies in having a multi-party system under a presidential structure.

Nothing could be more stupid.

Thus, in the first presidential elections held in 1992 under the Constitution of the Fifth Republic, we had seven major candidates for the presidency: Fidel Ramos of LakasNUCD, Miriam Defensor Santiago of the People’s Reform Party, Eduardo Cojuangco for the Nationalist People’s Coalition, Ramon Mitra for the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino, Imelda Marcos for the Kilusang Bagong Lipunan, Jovito Salonga for the Liberal Party, and Salvador Laurel for the Nacionalista Party. (Note that that two grand old parties under the two-party system of the 1935 Constitution garnered the lowest number of votes, even if their presidential can-

didates were arguably the most qualified to be president).

And so it has always been: from 1992 to 2016 we have had minority presidents. Only Estrada, Aquino and Duterte have had commanding leads over the second placer, but still, they failed to gain a 50-percentplus-one majority vote.

We have had Congresses, both in its upper and lower houses, that are patchwork coalitions based on (1) “support” for whoever was the new president; (2) “support” for the new Speaker or Senate President; (3) “support” for their personal and vested interests. Speak not of ideology. But for a few partylist congressmen, the concept of ideology is totally alien.

Patchwork as they are, bound only by fleeting and transitory “support,” they crack at the first sign of political crisis. Some presidents, like Gloria Macapagal Arroyo kept the coalition support glued together by the skillful use of pork and perks, but save for Cory whose anointed squeaked through a controversial minority vote win (FVR versus the late Miriam), none of the presidents got their “anointed” to win. Continuity, therefore, became oxymoronic.

Policies and programs were laid to waste, simply because their progenitors were politically different.

Erap trounced FVR’s JDV; PNoy trounced GMA’s Gibo Teodoro; Duterte shellacked PNoy’s Mar Roxas.

And so we are where we are, a boom-and-bust cycle that has become the characteristic pattern of our growth. We need to

break out of it.

On top of the economic stagnation (don’t give me those LITO GDP numbers BANAYO that keep increasing marginally but for the last few years, it’s the incidence of mass poverty and the lack of inclusiveness that matters), we have been wobbled politically by the longest-running communist insurgency in the whole world, and a secessionist rebellion(s) that cannot seem to find any settlement despite efforts of practically every president since Diosdado Macapagal.

Now we wake up to realize that the drug problem has become so widespread that nothing but the most draconian of solutions from a strong-willed leader with absolute singlemindedness, can hack it.

Thus it was that in 2016, despite all the usual political “analysts” opining (I hate to use that verb, but then this is done in mockery) that the mayor from Davao’s boondocks stood no chance against well-oiled political machinery (which I have never believed in as significant enough in national elections since I learned my lessons in the doomed Mitra campaign of 1992) or against celebrity power, people from all strata of society elected Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

Why? Because he advocated Change. He personified Change.

The past five-and-a-half months of his presidency has shown what real Change can do.

Some do not like it, but the majority agree. Change has come.

But for Change to become institutional, we need to have a fundamental law that makes continuing Change possible.

SO I SEE

We need a framework of governance that will not only satisfy the needs of the times, such as creating a structure that will provide lasting solutions to our political division. Thus the drive towards a federal system.

Further, we need a fundamental law that allows more flexibility in our economic policies, for in a world where capital flows are so dynamic and so movable, we need to catch what we can, and static, even iron-clad restrictions stymie quick actions and reactions.

The President has opened the debate. Shall we transform from a highly centralized, unitary system into federal? How “federal” should it be? How do we divide the unitary into autonomous parts? How economically stable, or even viable, will the federal parts be? Should ethno-linguistic differences be the basis for division, or should it be economic capability?

Remember that unlike wellknown federations, such as the USA, Germany or India, these have historically began as separate states or colonies joined together, while in the Philippine situation, we are devolving from a system imposed by our colonial masters for centuries, artificially creating a nation out of diverse ethno-linguistic cultures. That unitary structure is not as easy to dismantle, as it is for parts to become a federated whole.

But we need to confront these daemons that bedevil our national being.

And only Duterte is willing to confront.

“L’audace, l’audace, toujours l’audace,” the grand Charles de Gaulle once remarked about his transformative leadership of chaotic France into its First World status.

So let the debates begin.

The worst kind of presidential corruption

By Tyler Cowen LOTS of people are worried about corruption and conflicts of interest in a Donald Trump administration. Those are grim words, but imprecise ones. To understand what the biggest problems would probably be, some broader perspective is required.

Presidential corruption is hardly a new theme in American history. Many of the Founding Fathers, including George Washington, engaged in rampant land speculation.

That didn’t work out so badly.

Their commercial motives gave them reason to favor independence from Britain and later to finance the building of infrastructure for a growing nation.

A more insidious instance of conflict of interest stemmed from the extensive slaveholding of many politicians, which surely made them less eager to embrace abolition. So corruption can have favorable or unfavorable consequences.

Which is likely to be the case with Trump?

Many of the concerns about him start with his refusal to disclose much about his income, asset holdings and business interests. Even if he does not put his commercial interests before the national good, it will be harder for him to act with full legitimacy and credibility because he’s left so much to wonder about when it comes to his motives.

The upshot is that the possibility of conflict of interest will impose the biggest problems for

those areas where a president’s legitimacy and credibility are most important, and also where the president has the most unilateral power. Those factors point to foreign policy as the most significant trouble area.

On most domestic issues, the US president faces checks and balances, meaning Congress and the courts could assert control if needed. Furthermore, presidents with lasting influence are those who pass policies that are reaffirmed or extended by subsequent administrations, and that also limits the dangers from bad domestic policy.

Standard political economy suggests that the worst forms of corruption usually are decentralized. If you have to pay off 13 different bureaucrats to get a project through, the chance that one of them will hold you up, or that the aggregate of the bribes is simply too costly, is pretty high. Conversely, a single payment at the top can be a way to grease the wheels for big projects, some of which may be beneficial for the nation as a whole (imagine simply passing cash to a president for him to fix the country’s airports).

Or consider the value of domestic property as a potential source of conflict of interest.

If Trump really put the value of his hotel properties before the national interest, that might encourage a lot of policies to foster urban growth, travel, and tourism. Those policies might not spread their benefits efficiently, but they are hardly the worst outcome imaginable. A lot of the most scathing

critiques of Trump refer to his proposed climate-change policies, but those seemed common to most of the other Republican candidates, and they are not a result of Trump’s particular asset holdings.

Note that congressmen currently hold stock and other asset portfolios and they are not required to put them into blind trusts. Maybe that’s not the best system, but it has not brought national ruin, and it is not responsible for most of the ailments facing our legislative branch, such as polarization and gridlock.

But when it comes to foreign policy, all of these factors change for the worse, in part because the president has so much unilateral power. It’s hard for a president with perceived conflicts of interest to make credible commitments to allies because the allies can’t be confident that a president will stick to a proposed agreement or course of action. The result is an unraveling of alliances, a decline in international trust and possibly dangerous rearmament and nuclear proliferation. It’s hard for a subsequent president to reverse those losses.

Hostile powers or lukewarm neutrals also will be confused if foreign policy is not run in the usual predictable, bureaucratized fashion. That raises the risk of conflict or it makes an amelioration of tensions less likely.

Furthermore, imagine what would happen if members of the executive branch invited direct or indirect bribe payments

We must...

from foreign powers. Large, corrupt, and partially hostile countries such as Russia and China—not Denmark—would probably make the biggest offerings. The Founding Fathers were especially worried about foreign bribes when they wrote the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

Or imagine that a US president acted to preserve or extend the value of his properties abroad in lieu of pursuing the national interest. That would give the large countries most likely to grant favors and play “crony capitalism” (China?) the most sway with such a president, hardly a desirable filter for influence.

To guard against these dangers (and not just for this president-elect), Congress should reassert some of its prerogatives in foreign policy and judge foreign-policy appointments with extra strictness. If there is to be only partial disclosure of a president’s finances, let’s insist on information about international connections, which has a clear constitutional basis.

In the meantime, you can at least be glad that no president would want to nuke his own hotels.

OUT OF THE BOX RITA LINDA V. JIMENO

Non-forgiveness, illness WHEN a dear friend succumbed to cancer years ago and when a relative passed on from the same disease, I did not see a common denominator until recently when another friend was diagnosed with cancer. My friend who had died had harbored so much anger and hate at how her husband had philandered, abandoned her and their only son when he began to taste the power of money. See, when they married, she was the one who was economically well off. They lived in a home given by her parents and she alone provided for him and their child. When he finally found a goodpaying job, instead of taking his turn to provide for them, he indulged in drinking, womanizing and gambling. He started coming home very late until he rarely came home.

When he did, it was only to sleep for long hours, get fresh clothes, and then hasten to leave again. This angered her so much that one day she threw his clothes out of the house and never let him in again. She could not forgive him as he never said sorry to her.

My relative, on the other hand, lost his only son at the young age of nine. The boy was the extended family’s favorite for being extraordinarily bright and charming.

Since the boy’s death, my relative never forgave God. He stopped going to church and refused to enter it even when the Mass was being offered for his son. He also stopped participating in religious traditions of the family like the reading of Christ’s passion and death (pabasa) during Lent. Years later, he contracted cancer and died.

What bothers me is, I am now witnessMost people ing another friend struggling to fight do not realize the big C. She is rewhat a burden ligious and prayerful but has not forgiven anger and her husband for hatred are until abandoning her and their three children they let them to live with another go. woman. She was left alone to raise their children and send them to school. She refuses to file for a declaration of nullity of their marriage because she said, it would be giving her worthless husband his freedom in a silver platter. She also vowed to fight any attempt on his part to get their marriage voided. Thus, to date, she is tied to him in hate and bitterness.

It dawned on me that the common factor in all these three persons was their refusal to forgive. This drove me to research if there is any connection between nonforgiveness and physical illness. I discovered that there have been thousands of papers written on the subject and the common message is that refusal to forgive is poison and bondage. Studies say that if an offended person does not forgive, he turns himself over to the torturers because the one who hates is the one that suffers, not the hated.

When we do not forgive, we hold on to bad experience, to the pain, to the trauma. This can cause fear, depression, frustration, anxiety, self-hatred, and loneliness. It’s selfdestructive as the hater clings to self- righteousness and the knife that stabs him. A writer said that non-forgiveness results in emotional, physical and spiritual bondages. He said that 90 percent of all health, marital, family and financial problems come from non-forgiveness.

According to Dr. Steven Standiford, chief of surgery at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, refusing to forgive makes people sick and keeps them that way. Forgiveness therapy is thus now being used to help patients with cancer and other chronic illnesses. Of all cancer patients, 61 percent have forgiveness issues, Dr. Michael Barry, author of The Forgiveness Project, said. Chronic anxiety and anger produce excess adrenaline and cortisol in the body which depletes the production of natural killer cells or antibodies which are the body’s foot soldiers in the fight against cancer, Dr. Barry explained. Most people do not realize what a burden anger and hatred are until they let them go.

How can one forgive? He must remember that he too has caused pain to someone at one time or another. No one is without fault or sin, after all. Therapists who help patients unburden themselves of anger tell them that when Jesus was tortured and nailed to the cross, he asked God, his father, to forgive his tormentors “for they know not what they do.” When people hurt us, we react in varying degrees of anger or hate, depending on how seriously or lightly we perceive the offense to be. It will help us release our anger when we realize that the offender may not even know that he has caused us pain. Further, therapists say, God loves us so much that his repeated admonition for us is, “forgive, forgive, forgive” because He knows that anger and hatred can destroy us.

This Christmas, the greatest gift we can all give ourselves is forgiveness. It heals the body, restores our peace and connects us with our Creator. We must realize how much He has forgiven us for all our sins and acts of indifference.

IN BRIEF 10,000 flee rebel-held areas of Aleppo BEIRUT―Fierce fighting and heavy bombardment saw more than 10,000 people flee rebelheld areas of the battleground Syrian city of Aleppo since midnight, a monitoring group said on Sunday.

“They fled towards government-held areas in west Aleppo and districts newly controlled by regime forces in the north and center of the city,” said Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

A resident in the city’s southeast told AFP that he saw large crowds of people fleeing during the night towards regime-held districts in west Aleppo.

According to the Observatory, fighting raged on several fronts between rebels and regime forces in southeast Aleppo, while regime raids and artillery fire continued to pound rebel-held areas.

An AFP correspondent in west Aleppo said that heavy bombardment of the east was heard through the night, and that it was so intense that it rattled windows in western districts. AFP

Bombings in Istanbul kill 38 I

STANBUL— Turkey declared a day of national mourning on Sunday after twin bombings targeting police struck the heart of Istanbul near the home stadium of football giants Besiktas, killing 38 people.

16 die in truck bombing in Mogadishu MOGADISHU―At least 16 people died early Sunday in a suicide truck bombing outside the busy sea port of the Somali capital Mogadishu, the director of the ambulance service said.

“We assisted 48 wounded people and carried 16 others who were killed in the blast,” said Abdikadir Abdirahman Adem, director of Mogadishu’s AMIN ambulance service.

Mogadishu residents described a huge blast that could be heard across the city and a plume of smoke that rose above the skyline.

A spokesman for the city administration, Abdifatah Omar Halane, confirmed the blast but gave a lower toll of “nearly 10” killed. He said investigations were underway.

The Al-Qaeda aligned Shabaab militant group claimed responsibility in a statement distributed on its Telegram messaging account. AFP

Russian planes strike Syria's Palmyra MOSCOW―Russian war planes carried out over 60 strikes overnight on Syria’s Palmyra after Islamic State jihadists re-entered the famed ancient city, halting the offensive, Russia’s defense ministry said Sunday.

“Russian air force planes carried out 64 air strikes against the positions, convoys and advancing reserves of militants,” a defense ministry statement said.

“Over the past night, Syrian government troops with active support of the Russian air force thwarted all terrorist attacks on Palmyra,” it said.

“The attacking militants actively used car bombs with suicide bombers, armoured vehicles and rocket artillery,” it said, adding that the strikes killed more than 300 militants and destroyed 11 tanks and 31 vehicles. AFP

France gives highest honor to John Kerry PARIS―US Secretary of State John Kerry has been given the Legion d’Honneur, France’s highest honor, with his French counterpart calling him “the most French of American officials”.

At a ceremony in Paris on Saturday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault also said the top US diplomat was a “tireless champion of peace”.

“Francophone, Francophile, you are certainly the most French of American officials” Ayrault said.

Kerry’s French heritage and fondness for the country saw him attacked on the presidential campaign trail in 2004, when he was the Democratic candidate running against Republican George W Bush.

Tensions were running high between Paris and Washington over the Iraq war, to the extent that America’s beloved junk food, French Fries, were briefly renamed Freedom Fries, Ayrault said. AFP

Force returns to Hollywood with 'Rogue One' LOS ANGELES―Fans cheered wildly Saturday as the star-studded world premiere of the hotly anticipated “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” continued the space saga after the last episode shattered box office records.

The $200 million spin-off is expected to be the hottest ticket of 2016, recording the secondhighest first day of domestic presales ever, behind last year’s “The Force Awakens.”

Police cordoned off the area around the Pantages Theater in Hollywood hosting almost 3,000 guests, setting up metal detectors and deploying scores of officers

and sniffer dogs.

“I feel honored to be part of this family, and by that I mean the fans, not just the filmmakers,” British actor Riz Ahmed, who stars as pilot Bodhi Rook, told AFP ahead of the screening.

“They are what keep this alive.

And it’s them that we’re all looking to, to gauge how we’ve done.

I really feel proud of the film, and I hope they connect with it too.”

30 dead as tanker in Kenya explodes

Drill targets S. Korea's Blue House

NAIROBI―More than 30 people died when a tanker carrying inflammable materials crashed into other vehicles and burst into flames outside the town of Naivasha in Kenya late on Saturday night, officials said.

“At 5am the death toll was 33 but the search is still on,” said Pius Masai of Kenya’s National Disaster Unit. He added that rescuers were continuing to comb the area for bodies.

Masai said the accident involved “over 11 vehicles burned” when the tanker rammed into others on the road and caught fire.

Kenya’s Red Cross said the driver had lost control of the tanker which then crashed into other vehicles and “burst into flames”.

A passenger minibus and a police truck were among the vehicles gutted by the ferocious flames.

The accident occurred at Karai at the bottom of a long downward hill on the busy Nairobi-Nakuru highway, the main cross-country road leading from Kenya’s capital to the west of the country and on to Uganda.

Police and witnesses said the truck with Ugandan registration plates was traveling fast when it hit a speed bump and then lost control ramming into others.

At least 50 people injured in the accident have been received at a private hospital in Naivasha.

Witnesses described a fireball engulfing the vehicles with passengers inside. After fire fighters put out the flames rescue workers collected bodies from among the wreckage of charred cars strewn across the highway. AFP

SEOUL―South Korea warned Sunday of “fatal” consequences for Pyongyang’s leadership if provoked into conflict, after North Korean leader Kim JongUn oversaw a military drill simulating an attack on Seoul’s presidential Blue House.

Kim watched with binoculars as North Korea’s special operation forces conducted an exercise aimed at “destroying specified targets of the enemy”, including the Blue House, the North’s KCNA news agency said.

The ruling Workers’ Party newspaper Rodong Sinmun also carried a two-page report on the drill, showing pictures of a build-

“Well done, the enemy troops will have no space to hide themselves, far from taking any counteraction,” state-run KCNA quoted Kim as saying.

No date was given for the military exercise in Sunday’s report.

The South Korean military “strongly condemned” the drill, warning there would be fatal consequences if confronted by the North.

ment, we will strongly and firmly retaliate with a fatal blow against the North Korean leadership,” the defense ministry’s joint chiefs of staff said in a statement.

There are growing concerns of fresh provocations by Pyongyang following Friday’s impeachment of South Korean President Park Geun-Hye which has left the country without a recognized leader.

Prime Minister Hwang KyoAhn, who has temporarily taken on the role and authority of acting president, held an emergency cabinet meeting and ordered the military to be extra vigilant against the North. AFP

Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said 166 people were injured. He said a total of 30 policemen, seven civilians and an unidentified person had been killed in the blasts.

A car bomb detonated outside the Vodafone Arena football stadium on the shores of the Bosphorus after the Super Lig match between Besiktas and Bursaspor, while less than a minute later a suicide attacker struck a nearby park.

The authorities did not say who was behind the blasts, the latest in a year that has seen Istanbul and other cities rocked by a string of attacks blamed on Islamic State jihadists and Kurdish militants.

Prime Minister Binali Yildirim ordered flags to fly at half mast while President Recep Tayyip Erdogan postponed a planned trip to Kazakhstan, the state news agency Anadolu reported.

Twenty-seven of those killed were police and two were civilians, Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said, adding that 10 suspects had been detained.

Soylu said the first blast was caused by a car bomb that struck outside Besiktas’s football stadium.

It was followed 45 seconds later by another attack at the nearby Macka Park, carried out by a suicide bomber who blew himself up in the midst of police officers.

The Istanbul governor’s office said 155 people were wounded, 19 of them were in intensive care unit, the private NTV broadcaster reported.

A forensic team on Sunday inspected the stadium and the park to collect evidence, an AFP journalist said. Municipality trucks meanwhile cleaned up the area.

“An act of terror targeted our security forces and citizens at Besiktas tonight,” Erdogan said in a statement after the attacks.

Erdogan said the blasts were timed to cause maximum loss of life.

“We have witnessed once more here in Istanbul the ugly face of terror which tramples down any form of value and morals,” he said.

State broadcaster TRT showed images of the wreckage of a car, engulfed in flames with emergency services swarming around the scene outside the sports venue. AFP

F1 champ Rosberg wants to become a movie star

NICE—Formula one world champion Nico Rosberg was looking forward to a quiet Christmas on Saturday before plotting his next bid for the big time ... as an action hero movie star.

“I’d really like that,” the blond and photogenic 31-yearold German told AFP when he revealed his dream of an acting career.

“I know some German actors. Perhaps one day, that would be nice. I have some experience because when you are a racing driver, you have to do a lot of filmed commercials.

“An action hero...that would make me very happy!”

Rosberg stunned Formula One by retiring just five days after wrapping up his maiden world world in Abu Dhabi last month.

Since then, his timetable has been filled by promotional obligations, including Saturday’s function with German insurance giants Allianz in Nice, which will end in time for Christmas.

“The first true moment of free time will be at Christmas, I’m really excited about it. I will be with my wife, my little girl, we’ll be in Ibiza with a Christmas tree and enjoy a typical turkey dinner,” said Rosberg.

“Then I’m going to look for projects where I can use my competitiveness, but we will see in the new year.”

Rosberg insisted that he has no regrets about calling time on his career, a decision which left fans disappointed that there would be no further instalments in his fiery relationship with Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton.

“I am aware that the majority of people support my decision. There’ll always be people who think otherwise,” said Rosberg. AFP

TOKYO—Construction of the main stadium for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics officially started Sunday, more than a year after the original blueprints were torn up following public outcry over skyrocketing costs.

The stadium is due to be completed by the end of November 2019, five months behind schedule.

“I believe, after four years, many athletes will challenge their physical limits at this stadium and empower spectators and the society,” Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said at a ceremony to mark the start of building work.

Japan approved the new stadium plans in September after Abe scrapped the initial design by the late Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid as costs soared beyond $2 billion.

The 149 billion yen

($1.29 billion) price tag for architect Kengo Kuma’s proposal comes in just under the cap for the contractors, led by construction giant Taisei Corp.

The new venue is being built on the site of the former national stadium which was used for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

Concerns that ballooning costs could hit a staggering $30 billion -- four times the initial estimate and almost triple that of the 2012 London Olympics -- have forced organisers to rethink plans for several venues.

Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike announced recently that the host city would build a new aquatic centre with 15,000 seats, costing less than the original design for a 20,000-seat arena.

Plans to move the canoeing venue outside Tokyo have also been dropped. AFP

James makes history L

OS ANGELES —LeBron James became the first frontcourt player to reach the 7,000 assist milestone as he scored a season-high 44 points to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 116-105 win over the Charlotte Hornets.

James hit the magic number Saturday in front of a crowd of 20,500 at the Quicken Loans Arena by skipping a nifty pass to teammate Tristan Thompson who was driving to the basket.

“The last couple years this is the best I’ve felt. I’ve put a lot of work into my body, into my craft,” James said.

The 44 points was his best outing since returning to Cleveland and equalled the 44 points he scored in a game one overtime loss against the Golden State Warriors in the 2015 NBA finals.

The Cavaliers delivered two home wins this weekend, and besides eclipsing 7,000

career assists, James also moved into ninth place on the all-time scoring list during the victories over the Miami Heat and the Hornets.

James is not showing any signs of slowing down. He says he is taking better care of his body and the results are evident on the court.

“I’ve re-arranged a little bit with my diet and things of that nature and it’s worked to my benefit,” he said. “And for me to have back-to-back nights like this after coming off a long road trip, just shows that everything is working in the right direction.”

This was James’ first 40-point game during the regular season since February 26, 2015 when he scored 42 in a home win against the Golden State Warriors.

“I didn’t want to play Bron this many minutes,” Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said. “But he came to me and said, ‘Man, coach, I’m fine. Kyrie (Irving) doesn’t have it tonight.’ I was like, ‘No.’ He was like, ‘Man, I’m telling you. I’m fine.’

“And then he started raining threes.

They made a comeback but he was playing with great pace and we had to ride him tonight.”

Kemba Walker scored 24 points and Cody Zeller had 17 points and nine rebounds for the Hornets, who had their three-game winning streak snapped.

“He was phenomenal,” Hornets coach Steve Clifton said of James. “He made three or four threes that he’s going to make. You can’t block them. You can’t contest them.

“When he’s shooting the ball like that, there’s nothing you can do, other than blitz, and that’s what he wants you to do, and then he really makes you look bad.”

In Memphis, the host Grizzlies shocked the Golden State Warriors 110-89 for its sixth straight win, holding the Warriors to a season low for points.

It was only the second time this season that the Warriors failed to score 100 points.

Their previous low for points this season was 97 in a 20-point setback to the Los Angeles Lakers on November 4.

Centre Marc Gasol finished with 19 points, eight rebounds, six assists, two blocks and a steal for Memphis, who scored 30 points off 23 Warrior turnovers.

In Chicago, Jimmy Butler scored 31 points, Dwyane Wade finished with 28 and Taj Gibson added 13 as Chicago beat Miami 105-100 at the United Center. AFP

Southwoods claims double triumph at Fil-Am golf meet LOTTO RESULTS

BAGUIO CITY—Manila Southwoods scored a double victory as it won both the Fil and Am Championship titles of the 67th Fil-Am Invitational Golf Tournament presented by San Miguel.

Yuto Katsuragawa closed with a three-under for 39 points and led the Fil team to 146 as Southwoods tallied 570 points and a 19-point win over Royal Northwoods which turned in the best score on the last day of play.

Katsuragawa practically burned the fairways of both courses after starting with a two over for 34 points at the BCC fairways. He, however, waxed hot in the second round as he scored a record threeunder for 39 at the short and tricky course punctuated with an eagle at the difficult hole 11.

With his four-under and threeunder at John Hay, the 17-year-old finished with an eye popping eight under for 152 points and a 10 shot

win Group 1 and over two team mates: Ira Alido and Kristoffer Arevalo.

Alido, 15, settled with a oneunder for 37 and 142 total, edging Arevalo by a point after the latter made an even par for 36.

Another 15-year-older Carl Corpus counted for Southwoods with his 34, even as Ryan Monsalve failed to count after a 32.

Northwoods took the supporting role despite an impressive

closing round of 151, thanks most in part to Carlo Gatmaytan who matched the best score of six under for 42 points. =Gatmaytan had eight birdies against two bogeys for the score that matched the day three heroics of Jude Eustaquio of Srixon Forest Hills.

Richnell Albano had a two under for 38 points, Richard Joson had a one under for 37 and Carlo Villaroman made a 34 for the

team’s seven under performance and 551 total.

After a viral infection that saw him out of action on day two, the country’s top amateur player, Rupert Zaragosa closed with a 37 and with the 35 of Dan Cruz and the pair of 34s from Jude Eustaquio and Luigi Miguel Guerero gave Forest Hills 519 to rally Forest Hills past desposed champion San Miguel by two points for third place.

Selection process underway

By Peter Atencio THE selection process for athletes seeing action in the two major international meets this year is now going on.

Philippine Olympic Committee president Jose “Peping” Cojuangco Jr. said this as national sports associations get ready to send athletes to the 2017 Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur and to the 5th Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games.

“Hindi pa napipili kung sino ang mga atleta. Pipiliin pa lang ang mga deserving,” said Cojuangco.

Officially known as the 29th SEA Games, it will be the sixth time that the games will be held in Malaysia from Aug. 19 to 31.

A total of 38 sports disciplines will be held.

Five sports, including two winter disciplines, will be introduced to the games, namely bridge, cricket, ice hockey, ice skating and Tarung Derajat.

The 5th Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games will be held in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.

Some 21 sports disciplines are on tap when it commences from from Sept. 17 to 27.

Cojuangco, who is set to leave for the United States for a medical checkup, said he wants athletes for the two meets to undergo specialized training in the coming months.

That is why officials of the POC are looking forward to developing a regional training center to help train the athletes.

Crawford wants to fight Pacman next O MAHA— Champion Terence Crawford easily defended his WBO and WBC belts by stopping brawler John Molina in the eighth round of their junior welterweight title fight on Saturday.

Crawford dominated the fight from the opening bell landing precision head shots and bruising body blows through the first seven rounds then taking out the challenger with a series of rights late in the eighth round.

“I showed everything in this fight,” said Crawford, who improved to 30-0.

“Give credit to John Molina because he came to fight.”

The 29-year-old Crawford was rarely tested in his third fight of 2016 in front of his hometown fans as he landed 109

punches through eight rounds compared to just 22 for Molina.

The 2014 fighter of the year said he wants his next fight to be against Filipino champion Manny Pacquiao.

“I would love to fight Pacquiao, but it is a business. Right now I want to fight anyone with a title. I want them belts.

“If I can’t get Pacquiao, I want the belts.”

Molina showed determination and big heart but he was no match for the quick hands and smooth footwork of Crawford

who was the heavy favourite coming into the fight at CenturyLink Center arena.

Crawford pinned a defenseless Molina in the corner, then landed three straight right hands before the referee stepped in and stopped the slaughter as the challenger slumped to the canvas.

Crawford started 2016 with an impressive fifth-round knockout of Henry Lundy in February and followed it up five months later with two knockdowns while cruising to a one-sided decision over Viktor Postol to unify the titles in Las Vegas.

The 33-year-old Molina dropped to 29-7. He earned a shot at the titles by upsetting former champion Ruslan Provodnikov in June.

But Molina did not come close to making the 140-pound weight for his title shot so he would have been denied the belts if he had done the impossible and won.

Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua paved the way for a fight against Wladimir Klitschko next year by making quick work of Eric Molina in a third round win on Saturday. AFP

Teng, Potts SMB struggles past a game Mahindra side, 94 to 91 lead PBA By Jeric Lopez hopefuls AFTER leading their respective collegiate sides to championships, La Salle’s Jeron Teng and San Beda’s Davon Potts take one step closer in their dreams of turning pro as they led the list of applicants for the 2016 PBA D-League Draft.

The bluechip wingers banner the 128-man pool as they hope to be picked on Dec. 20 at PBA Cafe in Metrowalk, Pasig City.

Of the list, 113 are local while 15 are Fil-foreign applicants.

Also throwing their hat in the pool are San Beda standout Robert Bolick, Far Eastern University playmaker Monbert Arong, Letran big man Jom Sollano, and Southwestern University guard Mac Tallo.

Ten teams will participate in the 2017 PBA D-League Aspirants’ Cup, set to open on Jan. 19 next year.

Without Phoenix defending its title, it will be an interesting race to the plum, with runnersup Cafe France and Tanduay emerging as early favorites.

Also joining this conference are Racal, AMA Online Education, Blustar Malaysia, returnees Wangs Basketball and Jose Rizal University, and newcomers Cignal, Province of Batangas, and Manuel L. Quezon University.

MOST people expected it to be a blowout. But instead, an unexpected plot happened.

June Mar Fajardo needed all of his season-high 28 points and 15 rebounds to lead San Miguel Beer as it dodged an upset bullet and squeaked past gritty Mahindra, 94-91, to earn a share of first place in the 2016-17 Philippine Basketball Association Philippine Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum yesterday.

The Beermen, who many thought will just cruise past their still winless foes, were unexpectedly pushed to the limit by the game Floodbuster, who even led by 13 points multiple times in the opening period.

Fajardo, who only missed one shot, shooting 12-of-13 from the field, scored four crucial points down the stretch, with his last two markers being the go-ahead as San Miguel took a slim 89-88 lead with 56 seconds remaining following

a back-and-forth exchange for most of the payoff period.

Mahindra kept coming in the dying seconds and had a chance to force overtime, but Alex Mallari missed a wide open triple at the buzzer, allowing San Miguel to survive the legit scare it got.

The victory allowed San Miguel to tie Rain or Shine at 3-1 for the leadership, while the luckless Mahindra remained without a win and fell to 0-4 at the bottom.

“Next time, we can’t afford a game like this. We were so complacent,” admitted San Miguel coach Leo Austria. “We are struggling but I hope in the next few games, maka-recover na ‘yung team namin.”

Arwind Santos added 18 points, while Alex Cabagnot chipped in 15 markers of the bench for the Beermen.

Mahindra lost its first three games by an average of 18 points and in a surprising manner this time around, it showed

up with its best performance of the tournament so far to impose a serious threat on the defending champion.

However, it was almost but still not quite for the Floodbuster.

San Miguel was caught off guard by Mahindra’s blistering start.

The Floodbuster surprisingly started on fire, taking a big 24-11 advantage 11 minutes into the game and held a 26-15 spread at the end of one.

Baby Falcons smother UE juniors; NU Bullpups overwhelm Jr Maroons THE Adamson Baby Falcons banked on the big plays of two-year veteran Gerry Abadiano in the first period to lead them to a 130-47 smothering of University of the East, 130-47, Saturday at the Arena in San Juan.

The 6’0” small forward struck hard in the first two quarters, scored big points with top scorer Florencio Serrano and their efforts helped the Baby Falcons complete a first-round sweep of the 79th University Athletic Association of the Philippines juniors’ basketball tournament.

“Nagawa ko iyung small things na pinagawa ni coach, lalo na sa rebounds at sa scoring,” said Abadiano, a 12th grader.

The Baby Falcons, who are fearsome this season with their tall roster, went on to post the season’s biggest win-

ning margin of 83-points--their seventh straight win.

Serrano had a double-double outing of 22 points and 15 rebounds for the Baby Falcons, while teammate Jason Celis chipped in 20.

“Hard work paid off. Nu’ng nag-press ang team, maganda ang naging outcome,” said Adamson coach Goldwin Monteverde.

Jason Celis added 18 points for the Baby Falcons, who stayed ahead of the defending champion National University Bullpups.

The Baby Falcons got off to a hot start and took a 38-12 spread in the first period.

Abadiano’s drive, triple and two charities in the last 4:19 helped push Adamson to a 26-4 advantage.

They took a 20-point edge off Flores’

putback with 3:50 left.

In other games, the Bullpups waylaid University of the Philippines Integrated School, 95-61, with Rhayyan Amsali hitting a game-high 16 points.

The Bulpups improved to second with a 6-1 card.

Far Eastern University, led by Eric Jabel with 16, downed University of Santo Tomas, 87-76, for its fifth victory in seven matches in third spot.

Ateneo, with Romulo Berjay showing the way with 15, prevailed over De La Salle-Zobel, 64-57, capture its fourth win in seven games to remain in fourth.

The Junior Maroons and the Junior Archers fell to 2-5 in joint fifth, while the Junior Warriors and the Tiger Cubs remained at the bottom of the standings with identical 1-6 records. Peter Atencio

Britain remains bullish on PH B3 IN BRIEF Govt auditing all radio frequencies

THE Department of Information and Communications Technology said it expects to complete the audit of all radio frequencies held by telecom companies and their network performance by February 2017.

“I want all these investigations to be presented during the [telecom] summit [by February] because I want to determine the reasonableness or unreasonableness of the time which they were given a chance to make use of the frequencies,” DICT Secretary Rodolfo Salalima said.

Salalima ordered the NTC in July to audit all radio frequencies to prevent “warehousing” of spectrum.

Spectrum is the ‘real estate’ on which telecommunication operators develop their respective network to deliver services to customers.

The amount of spectrum assigned to a company affects the cost of building capacity, overall network performance, ability to offer new multimedia services and general customer experience of wireless services Salalima said NTC was out in the field to determine the speed and efficiency of the telcos’ network as well as the pricing. “We just want to further improve the efficiency, speed and affordability of our services,” he said.

Sy proposes budget airport

By Darwin G. Amojelar

A

LL-ASIA Resources and Reclamation Corp., a consortium led by tycoon Henry Sy and the Tieng family, submitted an unsolicited proposal to the Duterte administration to convert a military airbase in Sangley Point, Cavite into a P3.3-billion budget airport terminal.

AARC vice chairman Edmundo Lim told reporters the proposal was to convert Danilo Atienza Airbase, formerly known as Sangley Air Station and which is currently being used by Philippine Air Force in the northern tip of Cavite, into a general aviation and lowcost airpot terminal.

He said the budget terminal would be a part of the proposed Philippine

Global Gateway project worth P1.3 trillion which would decongest the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

Under the project, ARRC planned to build an international airport, seaport, economic zone and real estate components in Sangely Point.

Lim said the project aimed to reduce air traffic movements at Naia by 20 percent to 32 ATMs per hour from the

existing 40 ATMs per hour.

Lim said Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific expressed interest to transfer some of their domestic flights to the proposed budget terminal.

“It is not a very big terminal because you don’t need a very big terminal to handle 1.8 million passengers,” he said.

The new budget airport terminal can handle 300 passengers departing and 300 passengers arriving per hour, he said.

The total investment of the project, excluding international facilities, is estimated at P3.3 billion. The consortium plans to upgrade the present runway and build a terminal at DAA. “If we get approval by January, the project would be completed by December next year,” Lim said.

ARRC also proposed to reclaim 2,500 hectares at Sangley Point.

The new airport would be designed to have a capacity of 90 million passengers and would be completed in five years.

ARRC would compete with San Miguel Corp. which proposed to build a new international airport in Bulacan, north of Manila, in a revision from its 2014 proposal for a $10-billion airport on reclaimed parts of Manila Bay. Lim said ARRC’s project was most viable compared to the proposed new airport in Bulacan based on a study made by Japan International Cooperation Agency.

Jica said it did not prefer an airport in Angat-Pandi-Bustos and Obando because it would compete with Clark.

There was also the risk of flooding and limited possibility of urban development.

PSALM sets Malaya plant sale in March

POWER Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. said it will privatize the 650-megawatt Malaya thermal power plant in Pililla, Rizal by March 2017.

PSALM said in an invitation to bid signed by privatization, bids and awards committee chairman Lourdes Alzona the power plant would be privatized on an “as is, where is” basis.

The agency gave interested bidders until Dec. 20 to submit their letter of interest.

Govt asked to focus on retail competition

CONSUMER welfare is getting sidetracked in the ongoing controversy involving the Energy Regulatory Commission, which is in danger of being abolished as announced by Congress.

Action for Consumerism and Transparency in Nation Building, a non-government consumer advocate, warned that the controversy might further delay the full implementation of retail competition and open access in the electric power industry.

“Who benefits from this turmoil? I am sure it is not the consumer because every time RCOA is delayed, they end up paying the price,” said Jake Silo, spokesperson of Action.

He said before the controversy erupted last month, the industry finally gained momentum on RCOA, which suffered years of delay until the current ERC leadership set it in motion earlier this year, after 15 years in the making.

In May, the ERC promulgated a definite timeline for mandatory contestability and new safeguards against collusion. There was an attempt to derail these twin moves, but the Supreme Court temporarily set aside an injunction issued by the Pasig regional trial court, citing the grave and irreparable injury it posed on the energy industry, the Philippine economy and electricity end-users.

The SC order paved the way for the implementation of mandatory contestability by February next year.

PH seen remaining on ‘sweet spot’ in ’17

By Julito G. Rada THE Philippines will remain on a “sweet spot” of high growth and manageable inflation in 2017, as more opportunities open up and outweigh the impact of external headwinds, economic officials told local and foreign fund managers.

Government officials, in a conference call held on Dec. 6 by the Investor Relations Office of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, said the 2017 targets of robust growth and modest inflation were achievable.

“Bottom line is that the Philippines is on a solid footing despite fragility of the global operating environment,” Francisco Dakila Jr., managing director for monetary policy at Bangko Sentral, said.

The government set an economic growth target of 6.5 percent to 7.5 percent and an inflation target of 2 percent to 4 percent in 2017.

Among the major Asian countries, the Philippines emerged as one of the fastest growing economies with average GDP growth of 7 percent in the first nine months of 2016, surpassing China’s 6.7 percent, but behind India’s 7.4 percent.

Economic managers

said the performance of the Philippines was expected to continue even as the global economy would enter 2017 with uncertainties arising from key challenges, including the change in political leadership and anticipated rise of interest rates in the US, the continuing process of “Brexit” and slowdown of China and other major economies.

The country’s buffers, particularly fiscal and monetary space, will help provide resilience to the domestic economy, officials said.

Dakila said inflation, which remained below the targeted ceiling since 2009, was expected to slightly inch up from the estimate of below 2 percent this year to around the midpoint of the official target band next year.

National Economic and Development Authority deputy director-general Rosemarie Edillon said there would be additional growth drivers starting 2017.

She cited the progress of economic integration of the Asean region―a market of 600 million people, which could spur Philippine exports. The process of Asean economic integration formally kicked off in December 2015.

BSP eases bank branch rules BANGKO Sentral ng Pilipinas said it simplified the guidelines on the establishment of bank branches consistent with its policy to promote a competitive banking environment and ease business transactions.

Bangko Sentral said in a statement the policy-setting Monetary Board approved the amendments to the guidelines on the establishment of branches to provide banks with more flexibility in expanding their branching network to strategic locations.

The new regulation removed the use of theoretical capital and the combined capital requirement tied to geographic location in evaluating branch applications, since the branch network size and location of head office were already embedded in the latest minimum

capital requirement for banks.

The board also reaffirmed the general thrust of allowing banks to establish branches anywhere in the Philippines, including in the cities previously considered as restricted areas such as Makati, Mandaluyong, Manila, Parañaque, Pasay, Pasig, Quezon and San Juan.

“The move is aligned with the initiatives on banking system liberalization which include the removal of the branch moratorium in restricted areas and the gradual lifting of the suspension on the establishment of new domestic banks,” it said.

Anchored on their overall business model and strategic direction, smaller banks may now establish branches in Metro Manila subject to higher capitalization and special licensing fee if said branches are

to be located in the cities previously considered as restricted areas.

“The policy initiative is aligned with the BSP’s banking reform agenda that is anchored on the promotion of sound risk management systems and financial stability,” it said.

Data from Bangko Sentral showed the total banking offices increased to 10,936 in the second quarter from 10,849 in the first quarter, amid the continuous expansion of big lenders to widen their reach nationwide.

Of the total number, universal and commercial banks accounted for 6,133 branches, higher than 6,094 a quarter ago. There were 41 head offices of universal and commercial banks in the entire banking system. Julito G. Rada

MORE LRT-1 TRAINS. A year since assuming the operations and maintenance of Light Rail Transit Line

1, private operator Light Rail Manila Corp. rehabilitated and increased the number of running light rail vehicles to 96 as of end-November 2016. LRMC took over the operation and maintenance of the system in September 2015 with only 77 functioning LRVs. Through the work of its engineering team, LRMC was able to restore almost 20 more LRVs, while waiting for the procurement and arrival of 120 more LRVs in 2018. The increased capacity has enabled LRT-1 to accommodate more passengers and deploy up to 30 trains daily.

Fed rate hike to affect PH stocks

By Jenniffer B. Austria

A

NALYSTS expect the US Federal Reserve meeting to be a major factor influencing the movement of global and local stocks this week.

Investors expect the US Fed to announce a rate hike on Dec. 14, but analysts would also watch for hints on the US Fed’s policy move next year.

“With roughly 97-percent chance of a Fed rate hike on 14 December, investors seem to have gained confidence with the Fed’s intention to hike rates sooner rather than later. This would help investors and fund managers realign portfolios with the new level of cost of money and prepare an equity strategy before 2017 starts,” online

brokerage company 2TradeAsia.com said.

2TradeAsia.com said despite the developments here and abroad, the Philippine stock market could finish 2016 on a positive note, as the outlook on the domestic economy remained positive.

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas reported last week that the consumer confidence index recorded an all-time high of 9.2 percent in the fourth quarter, from third-quarter’s 2.5 percent.

“Optimists outpaced pessimists over government’s latest policy in ending contractualization, salary increases, employment opportunities and better government services.

With the yuletide season, consumers see no reason to be negative about the last quarter of the year amid expectations of higher remittances and disposable income,” 2TradeAsia. com said.

The Philippine Stock Exchange index, the 30-company bellwether, climbed 2.3 percent last week to close at 7,043.16 on Dec. 9,

while the all-share index gained 1.5 percent to 4,229.39.

Except for mining and oil which declined 0.7 percent, other subindices were on an upward trend led by property which jumped 4.2 percent, services which rose 2.6 percent and financials which advanced 1.1 percent.

Foreign selling continued as overseas investors were net sellers last week of P707 million. Average daily turnover eased to P6.1 billion from the previous week’s average of P8.6 billion.

Top gainers last week were San Miguel Corp. which surged 11.1 percent to P94.90, Security Bank Corp. which jumped 9.8 percent to P201 and PLDT Inc. which increased 7.6 percent to P1,370.

Heavy losers were EEI Corp. which declined 5.4 percent to P6.12, DoubleDragon Properties Corp. which dropped 4.8 percent to P38.50 and Cebu Air Inc. which dipped 4.4 percent to P93.45.

Bloomberry eyeing expansion to Japan RESORT and casino operator Bloomberry Resorts Corp. said it is interested in expanding its gaming operations to Japan, which recently took steps towards legalizing the casino business.

“Once law is passed [in Japan], that would be a very interesting market. But we don’t know yet the final form and terms,” Bloomberry chairman Enrique Razon Jr. said in a recent interview.

“Japan will be a very good market,” Razon said.

ment passed last week a bill opening the way for casinos to operate in the country. The bill was then sent to the upper house for review.

Bloomberry operates Solaire Resort & Casino in Pagcor Entertainment City in the Philippines. Last year, Bloomberry expanded to South Korea with the purchase of Jeju Sun Hotel & Casino and acquisition of two islands―Silmi Island and Muui Island―in a bid to expand its operations outside the Philippines.

Meanwhile, Razon said the number of Chinese arrivals in the Philippines significantly improved in October and November on improving relations between Manila and Beijing.

“In Solaire, Chinese arrivals into the gaming facility in November grew 130 percent, and 80 percent in October,” Razon said. “You more or less safely attribute that directly to our improved relations with China.”

Visitor arrivals to the Philippines from China were affected last year by the Chinese government’s increased anti-corruption drive and territorial dispute over the South China Sea. A third player is entering Pagcor Entertainment City in Parañaque. Razon said Bloomberry was preparing for the competition by making sure it remained lean, mean and effective.

8990 keeps income target MASS housing developer 8990 Holdings Inc. said it expects to achieve its net income target P4.8 billion and revenue goal of P12 billion this year, despite the delayed launching of three major residential projects in Davao City.

8990 Holdings president Januario Jesus Atencio said the company would be able to launch only 11 projects this year, from the original target 14.

“We can hit our targets.

But if we do not make it, it will not be too far from out target numbers,” Atencio said.

Atencio said the delay in the launch of three projects was due to the failure of the company to secure permits on time.

“The permit is long over due, so I’m not expecting it out. When the Davao City approved the land use plan, it created a new committee that will look into various real estate projects. But it is only now that the local government unit also put people in the committee. So it is only now that our papers are being reviewed,” Atencio said.

The company was supposed to book P300 million from the delayed projects.

Atencio said despite the delay in Davao projects, the company would likely book P800 million in revenues from the early completion of 600 units of a condominium project in Mandaluyong City.

8990 Holdings reported a net income of P3.19 billion in January to September this year, up by 1 percent from P3.17 billion it booked in the same period last year.

Nine-month revenues also climbed 3 percent to P7.18 billion from P6.99 billion a year ago. Jenniffer B. Austria

Britain remains bullish on PH

By Gabrielle H. Binaday

T

HE Philippines and the UK expect trade and investment opportunities to expand despite Britain’s decision to exit from the European Union, the Finance Department said over the weekend.

Visiting UK officials remain bullish on Philippine prospects, with Brexit seen more as an opportunity rather than a risk to investors.

Alok Sharma, a member of the British Parliament and Minister for Asia-Pacific of the UK Foreign Office, discussed in a recent meeting with Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III a wide range of issues, including the government’s priority goals, economic opportunities between the two countries and Manila’s war against illegal drugs.

Dominguez told Sharma the Philippines was serious in reducing poverty, and developing a country at peace with its foreign neighbors.

Sharma was accompanied during the meeting by UK Ambassador to Manila Asif Ahmad and Philip Malone, Deputy Head of the Southeast Asia Department of the UK Foreign Office, along with other British embassy officials.

Sharma informed Dominguez he had met with other Philippine officials as well as heads of large Philippine companies here during his visit to explore ways of expanding trade and investment opportunities between Manila and London.

“We had a number of really good meetings, actually with big companies here who also invested in the UK. We had discussions with UK companies who invested here in the Philippines. And I think the overall message is that things are moving forward, obviously in terms of our trade that increased, investment has increased,” Sharma said.

He said Brexit made no significant impact on British investments overseas and on the British economy, which is “doing very well.”

Sharma also said the UK supports the rehabilitation program of the administration’s war on illegal drugs.

“There is drug rehabilitation and from our perspective we would very much like to support it. [On drug rehabilitation] that’s where we would like to come and support,” Sharma said.

Dominguez said the UK was interested in infrastructure projects, especially in areas outside Mega Manila, low-income communities in Eastern Visayas, Northern Luzon and Mindanao.

President Rodrigo Duterte plans to invest $180 billion in infrastructure over the next five years. The government so far approved 17 big-ticket projects in land transport, airport development and flood control.

The UK is the largest European investor in the Philippines with British companies such as Shell, Prudential UK and Dunlop Slazenger having sizable investments here.

Some 17,000 British nationals live in the Philippines while 250,000 Filipinos reside and work in the UK. About 180,000 British tourists visit the Philippines every year.

THE PHILEX 60TH ANNIVERSARY

With Philex board of directors Wilfredo A. Paras, Atty. Bienvenido E. Laguesma, Juan B. Santos, Oscar J. Hilado, Atty. Marilyn A. Victorio-Aquino, Manuel V. Pangilinan, Eulalio B. Austin, Jr., Atty. Barbara Anne C. Migallos, Michael Victor N. Alimurung, and my co-emcee Atty. Joan A. De Venecia during the ceremonial toast

PHILEX Mining Corporation, one of the largest gold and copper producers in Southeast Asia, is celebrating its sixtieth year as a publicly-listed corporation (PLC).

Though the company was incorporated in 1955, it was only on November 23, 1956 that it was listed with the Philippine Stock Exchange.

The anniversary celebration kicked off at the Padcal mine camp, Philex’s stronghold in the North, with a tree-planting at the decommissioned and rehabilitated Tailings Storage Facility No. 1 (TSF1). Contrary to popular misconception, the soil that is returned into a decommissioned storage facility, as part of its proper rehabilitation, is fertile enough to grow trees on or even start a forest with. Considering that when Philex first entered the area, the mountains were all barren due to over-logging by previous concessionaires. Now the area is lush with greenery and vegetation.

Several activities followed like the Women’s Forum held together with the DIWATA Women in Natural Resources Development group spearheaded by former Ambassador and Foreign Affairs Secretary Delia Albert, medical missions in the host barangays, and a poster-making contest for both elementary and high school students.

Philex also saw active participation in the year’s Mining Philippines 2016 conference at the Marriott Grand Ballroom, Resorts World, Pasay City, and at the 63rd Annual National Mine Safety and Environment Conference at Camp John Hay, Baguio City.

The celebration culminated in a series of events at two fronts: for Padcal, with an anniversary luncheon, blessing and inauguration of the Anniversary Park, and Salayaw (a telling of the company’s history in decades through dance) program; for the Corporate Head Office in Mandaluyong, with a formal dinner held at the Isabela ballroom of the Shangrila Makati.

In spite of the many challenges it has faced through the years—the rise and fall of metal prices, the high and low of ore grade and production, coupled with the highly stringent yet seemingly indifferent regulatory environment—Philex has soldiered on through the resilience, dedication, and loyalty of its officers and employees led by its President Euls Austin and Chairman MVP. Here’s to many more years for Philex, as it continues to live the tradition of responsible mining in the country.

GREEN LIGHT CHRISTMAS time is synonymous to celebrations, sharing and giftgiving. For most corporations, the holiday season poses as an opportune time to give back to the community. The year’s successes and blessings are shared not only with stakeholders and colleagues, but also with our less fortunate brothers and sisters.

This brings into mind three things: How much, what, and why do we give?

How much do we give?

It is an unspoken rule that to whom much is given, much is expected from. Especially in the corporate world. Because bigger corporations have more resources, they are expected to make contributions larger in scope. This is a good reminder for us to set aside a significant amount in line with our resources for CSR related activities and causes.

What do we give?

Contributions are not limited to financial assistance to our beneficiaries. We may also offer our time and talents with them. My friend in the hospitality industry shared with me that they have projects in partnership with organizations like Habitat for Humanity—wherein associates volunteer their personal time to build homes for informal settlers in time for the holidays.

That way, the joy and comfort given to them will last not only for one holiday season, but will extend to a lifetime.

Another example includes inviting members of the Don Bosco Tondo Institution’s youth choir or the Philippine School for the Blind to perform Christmas carols at the hotel lobby. It encourages companies and the beneficiaries to work more closely with each other, and get creative in planning fruitful and fun activities. This shows that there is so much more we can give other

A Corporate Christmas than money, if we set our hearts into it.

Why do we give?

Which leads to the next point— are the companies’ hearts really into giving and doing CSR projects? Or is it a mere compliance to business ethics, societal responsibilities, or worse—publicity? The same friend shared that, although they hold several CSR activities for various beneficiaries throughout the year, emphasis is given on all the publicity and getting good media mileage out of the project. Although it is beneficial for the hotel’s image, and a useful tool in getting more potential donors and partners for the beneficiary, it must not be forgotten that the main agenda would be the selfless act of sharing and bringing joy to others.

With the availability of CSR events planners now, holding CSRrelated activities are made so much easier. This is very advantageous because ideas are already thrown at us, and it would be easier to get in touch with other parties for planning. However this can also lessen the interaction and sense of involvement of associates. It would be more fulfilling if companies let more people initiate and work on projects themselves.

With all these in mind, perhaps we can ask ourselves a new set of questions every Christmas: Who would I like to share my blessings with this Christmas?

What can I give them that would make them really happy? How can I keep helping them throughout the year?

NGCP studying cable connection

National Grid Corp. of the Philippines assured the government it is studying the most feasible way to implement the Visayas-Mindanao interconnection project.

National Grid spokesman Cynthia PerezAlabanza said the interconnection project had been conceptualized as early as the 1980s but did not push through due to a number of reasons.

“That’s been around since the 80’s. It did not push through because it’s very difficult. We are already in the fourth route,” Alabanza said.

The official said it was only during the power crisis in Mindanao in 2010 that Congress urged National Grid to study the viability of the interconnection project.

“The problem is, we need a project driver either load growth, capacity addition, reliability,” Alabanza said. Alena Mae S. Flores

A

Manila and Canberra have reached an agreement where the latter would export Australian goats and sheep to the Philippines, which would augment the existing local goat herd of about four million (2007 figures) and sheep flock of about 35,000 (2003 figures).

Industry sources say that sheep contribute to food production, rural employment and gross national product by converting roughages into meat, wool and skin.

Back north, Robert helped his father look after their nearly 300 heads of sheep. His exposure and experience in sheep raising— since he was eight years old, tending on the side their garlic plants in thick mulching hay— brought him and his family to a fruitful and lucrative livelihood venture over the past decades.

The sale of nearly 250 heads in the past year alone had given the zealous sheep-raising family about a million pesos from their herd.

The family also ventured into goat raising; the father-and-son team

discloses that there is not much difference in raising sheep and goats.

In fact, they raise both ruminants in the same farm in their barangay.

In recent years, more than 30 researches on sheep produced a framework for the national sheep research and development program. Three distinct groups of sheep were identified, namely the Philippine sheep, the Barbados Blackbelly, and crosses of the two groups, with their quantitative and qualitative traits identified.

Shepherding these gentle animals is easy, they said, since they could eat any kind of grass, including corn stover. Some suggest napier, para grass, centrosema, malunggay (Moringa oleifera) and kumpitis or ipil-ipil (Laucaena glauca).

Fodder can also include green leaves, cut grass, and legumes, while concentrates can be made from tubers, grains and animal protein. Citing business records, the daily feed consumption of a lamb should be 3.1 percent of its body weight, they said.

4 young inventors unveil tech breakthrough in agri

By Ferdie G. Domingo SCIENCE CITY OF MUÑOZ, Nueva Ecija—Climate change and global warming have taken their toll on crops, which are now suffering from heat stress.

But now there’s a solution in sight for crop heat stress. It comes in the form of a device that tells farmers of the presence of heat stress in crops and how to address them.

Called a heat stress analyzer, device is a sensor connected to a mobile app that assesses the crop’s condition accurately, more than the “feel method” or the traditional way farmers use.

Engineer Franch Maverick Lorilla, one of the device’s developers, said the HSA monitors the environment condi-

tion of the crop by measuring heat levels, light intensity, relative humidity, and soil moisture.

The device analyzes the data through the mobile app, and warns farmers when their crops are being affected by too much heat stress.

Lorilla said the HSA also provides statistics, historical trends, and recommendations based on analytics to help users make smarter decisions. He presented the device during the 3rd Agrihackathon symposium at the central experiment station of the Philippine Rice Research Institute here last month.

“Not only that, the analyzer is also equipped with pre-installed irrigation systems on the field and other automation components such as sprinklers, exhaust

fans, and growing lights to automatically control crop heat stress,” Lorilla explained.

Crop heat stress is a condition that greatly affects plant growth, survival and crop yields. “This is due to the intense heat coming from the sun that causes drought, and the powerful light that affects the proper photosynthesis process of the crops,” he said.

The invention was a thesis proposal that evolved into a potential startup business for Lorilla and his fellow inventors Jan Rey Altivo, Rexon Lacaba, and Ket Villacensio from Davao City.

Last year, Lorilla’s group established CloudFarm Innovations Inc. after winning a startup competition from a nonprofit organization called IdeaSpace

and have since tested the device.

They are fine-tuning the technology with funding provided by the United States Agency for International Development.

“When the patent is granted, then we are ready for commercialization,” he said.

Nehemia Caballong, PhilRice ICT specialist, said the device also has the potential to help analyze heat stress on rice.

The analyzer device has been tested in six farms, including a banana and cacao seedling plantation in Davao and a lettuce farm in San Pablo, Laguna, he said.

The event aimed to equip future information and communications technology practitioners with knowledge, experience, and motivation to develop ICT support for agriculture.

LANUZA, Surigao del Sur—The successful staging of the annual surfing festival held in this Pacific town has officially placed this oncesleepy coastal area on the map, as it vies to become one of the country’s major surfing destinations.

Held at the Doot Poktoy beach resort, the 14th yearly sporting event has drawn surfing professionals and enthusiasts from all over the country as they displayed their world-class surfing talents in the surfing fest.

Lanuza Mayor Salvacion Azarcon said the sporting event has showcased the natural beauty and potential of her town to become an international surfing competition venue and major water sports adventure and tourism spot.

The event, which also included an agri-aqua trade fair, coastal clean-ups, surfing clinics, concerts, beach dance concerts, and the Miss Surfing Lanuza pageant, generated added excitement and wide patronage among local and international tourists.

Marla Alforque of Mandaue City was crowned as the town’s ambassadresses of goodwill and tourism during the culminating day of the surfing festival.

Home-grown veteran Nexyol Ruina topped the Longboard Men’s Open, followed by La Union’s Jay-R Esquivel, while Jefferson Basquina Dela Torre and Allan Bunani shared the runners-up trophy.

For the third consecutive year, Piso Alcala of Siargao topped the Men’s Shortboard as fellow Siargaonon champion John Mark Tokong captured second. Urbiztondo surfers Carlito Nogalo and Esquivel made the podium.

For the women’s division, Siargao wave-rider Nilbie Blancada dominated the Shortboard category, with Ana Mae Alipayo, Manette Alcala and Susan Escamillia making the winner’s circle.

La Union’s Daisy Valdez emerged champion of the Wahine class, edging Ikit Agudo, Manette Alcala and Nilbie Blancada of Siargao.

The Siargaonons swept all awards in the Grommet or under-16 Division, with Gabriel Antipasado emerging on top and teammates John Jabi Noguerra, Benjomar Cañon and Benladen Arjona as runners-up.

The event is supported by the Provincial Government of Surigao del Sur, the Department of Tourism-Caraga Region, the Congressional Office of the Second District, and the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority.

CENTURY TUNA Century Tuna endorser James Reid graces the opening of the Marine Conservation Lab

inspires marine conservation and learning

C

ENTURY Tuna, the country’s no.1 tuna, recently led the inauguration of the first-ever Kidzania Marine Conservation Lab at Kidzania Manila, the indoor play city where kids can have fun exploring the adult world through inspiration and learning. The new facility was established by the leading tuna brand in collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines.

At the new Kidzania Marine Conservation Lab, kids learn about marine ecosystems, sustainability, and the need to care for our seas through a mock underwater facility that houses models of marine ecosystems and research workstations. As marine conservationists, kids are tasked to study marine ecosystems and come up with solutions to problems they face.

Gracing this significant occasion was Senator Kiko Pangilinan who lauded the effort of Century Pacific Food, Inc., WWF and Kidzania Manila.

“The sea is very much a part of our lives, which is why marine conservation is of utmost concern. It is very important that we have an undertaking that will raise awareness among our children on the importance of marine conservation. We are so connected to the ocean—more than we are aware of.”

On hand to welcome guests were CPFI CEO and President Christopher Po and GM/Vice President Greg Banzon, WWF President Joel Palma, and KidZania Philippines State Governor Maricel Arenas.

Cebu’s big brother is here to stay THE JOYCE OF EATING JOYCE BABE PAÑARES

I

T WOULD not be a stretch of the imagination to say that homegrown restaurant Kuya J is one of the fastest growing casual diners in the country.

It has come a long way from the time it opened its first branch on Escario St. in Cebu in 2013. Kuya J launched Wednesday last week its 60th branch at the newly inaugurated SM City East Ortigas in Pasig City. That’s an increase of more than 200 percent from only 18 branches in 2015.

But Winglip Chang, president and chief executive officer of iKitchen, the company behind Kuya J, is not one to rest on his laurels. Strike while the iron is hot, he said, and he is indeed on a scorching winning streak.

With less than three weeks to go before the country ushers in an intense Year of the Fire Rooster, Chang is opening 25 more Kuya J restaurants – or a mind-boggling feat of one new branch a day. And by the end of 2017, the Visayan restaurateur with the indomitable spirit plans to increase Kuya J’s branches to 200.

“We thank the public for supporting us. But we are not stopping yet,” Chang said. “The food industry is growing and the economy is growing, and we want to continue growing, too.”

The soft-spoken Chang said there is no secret ingredient to Kuya J’s success.

“The essence of Kuya J is you get good food and good service without costing you an arm and a leg,” he said.

That passion for good Filipino food has translated into dishes that are not only affordable but are truly satisfying and priced reasonably as well.

Its latest offering – the Kuya J roast chicken – is giving other chicken houses a run for their money with its flavorful skin and juicy meat, with no need for gravy or dip. The restaurant’s signature dishes: crispy pata, grilled scallops, bulalo, fresh lumpia, sisig, and kare-kare among others, remain fast moving items that have captured the taste and satisfied the cravings of Filipinos over the past three years. And in 2017, Kuya J will start serving Cebu’s

Kuya J’s sinfully delicious crispy pata

iconic lechon belly, which, just like the roast chicken, is savory on its own without need for any sauce.

Passion and a good amount of luck, combined with constant innovation and a genuine desire to please customers, have contributed largely to Kuya J’s success.

To ensure consistency in the tenderness of the meat and the crispness of the skin of its crispy pata, Chang decided to buy computerized fryers at around P1 million each to improve quality and eliminate human error. The juiciness of Kuya J roast chicken was achieved using combination steamers imported from The Netherlands at almost half a million pesos per unit.

The restaurant’s well-loved halo-halo uses shaved ice produced through a special machine from Taiwan, giving the proudly Filipino dessert a new twist. “The investment paid off: in the first month that we offered halohalo, and only had 30 stores back then, we sold 100,000 orders,” Chang said.

Kuya J is

also expanding its commissary in San Pedro, Laguna to ensure that the ingredients, especially those sourced from the provinces, remain fresh given the restaurant’s extensive menu with at least 78 items available every day. The scallops, for example are brought in from Cebu where these are blast frozen in the company’s commissary in the province before being shipped across the country.

And because all 60 and counting branches are company-owned, Chang said their staff are given regular trainings to achieved consistent service, not to mention a courteous attitude toward customers.

Kuya J has indeed come a long way from the Ang Kan-anan ni Kuya J (The Eatery of Kuya J) carinderia in Cebu that made an impression on Chang more than a decade ago for serving delicious dishes consistently. He bought the hole-in-the-wall joint when the original owner migrated to Canada, and decided to retain the name when he transformed it into a casual dining restaurant.

“We may have innovated in terms of technology and modernizing our processes, but we have remained true to our vision of what our food should be,” Chang said, adding in jest: “We offer Filipino dishes that your mother will cook for you, if she loves you.”

Remembering Lolita Rodriguez

By Eton B. Concepcion Stars never die, they just fade away.

The country mourned the passing of Lolita Rodriguez, one of Philippine cinema’s legendary actresses, who died at the age of 81 in Hemet, California where she and family migrated in 1977.

Born in Majayjay, Laguna to an American father and Filipino mother, Lolita made her movie debut at the age of 18 in Sampaguita Pictures Ating Pagibig in 1953, which starred Tita Duran and Pancho Magalona. She made her first starring role in Sabungera in 1953 and co-starred with Dolphy in the now classic Jack and Jill in 1954.

Lolita made a mark in “lovetriangle’ movies in the 60’s with Eddie Rodriguez and Marlene Dauden, like Sapagkat Kami’y Tao Lamang (1963), Kapag Puso’y Sinugatan (1967) and Kasalanan Kaya? (1968).

Her most memorable role was the town’s outcast Kuala in the landmark 1974 film Tinimbang ka Ngunit Kulang

by Lino Brocka, part of the 70’s golden harvests in Philippine cinema.

Rodriguez won her second Famas Best

Actress award for this film, 18 years after her first in Gilda in 1956.

Lolita was incomparable in her team-up with the great Brocka in Stardoom (1971), Tubog sa Ginto (1971), Lunes, Martes, Miyerkules, Huwebes, Biyernes, Sabado, Linggo (1976) and Tatlo, Dalawa, Isa (Bukas, Madilim, Bukas) (1974)’ In 1979, Lolita made two Brocka films considered as “acting coup teamup.” First was Ina, Kapatid, Anak, which pitted her for the first time against Charito Solis, with one of the most dramatic confrontational scenes ever in local film. This was followed by the Manila Film Festival entry Ina ka Ng Anak Mo in which Lolita won best actress in a tie with co-star Nora Aunor.

Indeed, if there is one local actress that can match Rodriguez’s quiet intensity and depth in style, it is Aunor who got the rare chance to appear with her in the Brocka opus. Aunor was said to have gotten more enamored and awed with the veteran actress whom the Superstar considered her Lolita Rodriguez or Dolores Maiquez Clark in real life was a multi-awarded biggest idol because of her unselfish behavior on the set. actress, she starred in more than 80 films between 1953 and 1992

COCO Martin admits his elation over the box-office success of his currently showing movie opposite Vice Ganda titled Super Parental Guardians.

“Honestly, I’m overwhelmed by the very warm reception of the crowd,” he avers. “Until now, I can’t believe that the film continuously draws in lots and lots of audience to the theatres. I’m grateful to all of those who already watched and patronized our offering. It’s really heart-warming!”

But, for the popular actor, the huge earnings of the movie only comes in second.

“Of course, I’m glad that it became a mammoth hit. But more than that, it’s the fact that we were able to entertain the public. It brings so much joy to my heart knowing that we made them smile through our offering. It’s the best reward for all the efforts we’ve exerted just to come up with an entertaining project.”

According to official reports, Super Parental Guardians raked in a whopping P75 M on its opening day alone.

“As I’ve said earlier, I didn’t expect that it would gross that high, particularly on its first day.

But I expected that the audience will love it since we made sure that it would be better than last year’s ‘Beauty and the Bestie.’ Vice and I, together with Direk Joyce (Bernal) studied our material carefully: we doubled the action and comedy. It’s good that it worked with the crowd who really went out of the cinemas rollicking in laughter. Again, my deep thanks to all our supporters,” says Coco.

Meanwhile, talks are rife that his blossoming romance with Julia Montes is affected by their busy work schedule. In one of her recent interviews, the pretty lass revealed that they don’t communicate that often at this point.

“That’s true! I’m so busy with projects and so is she. Our communication was largely affected. But of course, it’s work. As the old adage goes, strike while the iron is hot, right? Perhaps, time will come when things will cool down and I’ll be able to make it up to people who are dear to me like my family.”

Rumor has it that one factor is that Yassi Pressman seems to be the new apple of his eye, something which the Primetime King shed light on.

“Oh no! It’s not true that I’m courting her.

Actually, Yassi is a nice and kind girl. I hope I’ll be able to share more of my experiences with her before reaching my present stature. She’s got a lot of promise and I wish her career zooms higher,” ends Coco. *** Eric Quizon is proud of his latest show, which he directs and hosts for GMA News TV titled, Happy Life.

“I’m so happy with this program because it’s not just your ordinary travel show that showcases the beauty of the Philippines. It has a purpose. In the program, we highlight the value of helping others with the backdrop of eye-popping destinations in the country. It’s a lifestyle show, a style all its own,” he states.

Actually, Happy Life chooses a needy family, individual, school or community that will get a reward after passing meticulous scrutiny.

“Yes, they should be deserving of the help the show extends. That’s the main twist there. It’s one of the elements that made me accept the directorial and hosting job for this program. It has a heart. We all know that many Filipinos need aid these days when poverty is one huge problem. So, we want to help in our own little way through ‘Happy Life.’

You should watch the initial episode to understand what I’m saying!”

Interestingly, the show is produced by former Ilocos Governor Chavit Singson’s White Lion Media Productions, Inc.

Series on infidelity is Kapuso’s centerpiece on its Afternoon Prime ISAH V. RED

G

MA Network opened December with an intriguing drama on infidelity in the Afternoon Prime series now making waves since it premiered last week.

Ika-6 Na Utos tells the story of Emma, who is fighting to keep her husband from leaving her for another woman.

Sunshine Dizon plays Emma, a sweet and cheerful souvenir merchant who falls deeply in love with a pilot whom she eventually marries. Sunshine appreciates GMA Network for giving her always challenging and offbeat roles.

“I’m just really blessed and happy because through the years, hindi naman tumigil talaga ang GMA from giving me characters that are unforgettable.

Talagang naalagaan nila ako sa aspeto na ‘yun. I’m very happy and grateful for that,” the Kapuso actress said.

“Also, what’s nice about Ika-6 na Utos, it’s a story of most women out there who are suffering silently. We hope that with this show, we will be able to help them somehow to realize that marami pa silang pwedeng gawin. Marami pang options sa buhay. Marami ring mga babaeng makaka-relate dito, not only because may pinagdadaaanan sila but also, kwento ito ng babaeng isang anak, isang ina, isang asawa, isang kaibigan,” Sunshine added.

Gabby Concepcion is Rome, a pilot whom Emma marries. He stands uf for her despite his mother’s approval. He shares that the show is one that will mark another milestone in his career as an actor as it enables him to experience different things.

“This show is a new thing for me.

Ang dami kong firsts dito. First time na gaganap ako na piloto. First time ko na magkakaroon ng isang Afternoon show.

Maganda ang story and I’m up for a change. First time kong makakatrabaho in a soap sila Sunshine and Ryza.”

“Also, at this point in my career, gusto ko naman na bawat teleseryeng gagawin ko ay may message at pwedeng may maibahaging aral sa viewers natin. I feel na mayroon akong responsibilidad sa audience ko. So, sa bawat papanoorin nilang mga teleseryeng gagawin ko, sana mayroon akong message na iiwan sa kanila at kung papaano ako makakatulong sa experience ko or sa experience ng ibang tao sa kanilang sariling buhay.” he added.
