Duterte won’t ignore Hague ruling P

RESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte, appearing tough on the international arbitral ruling against China in 2016, told his fellow Southeast Asian leaders Thursday the determination by the Hague court as regards the disputed South China sea “cannot be diminished nor ignored.”

and signed in 1982. Last September, in an unprecedented move to assert the country’s position on the South China Sea, Duterte raised the 2016 arbitral award that rejected Beijing’s excessive nine-dash-line claim before the United Nations General Assembly. In his taped message for the UNGA, Duterte took a swipe at China for refusing to recognize the decision of the Permanent Court of Arbitration. “The Philippines affirms that commitment in the South China Sea in accordance with UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award. The Award is now part of international law, beyond compromise and beyond the reach of passing governments to dilute, diminish or abandon. We firmly reject attempts to undermine it,” the President said. “We welcome the increasing number of states that have come in support of the award and what it stands for—the triumph of reason over rashness, of law over disorder, of amity over ambition. This—as it should—is the majesty of the law,” Duterte added. It was a complete turnaround from the earlier pronouncement of his spokesman, Harry Roque, who said bringing up the sea row before the

UNGA was unrealistic and tantamount to black propaganda. France, Germany and the United Kingdom earlier submitted a note verbale to the UN to assert the arbitral ruling, calling on all claimants to resolve their disputes peacefully. Duterte also called the attention of UN member-states on rising geopolitical tensions amid the pandemic. “Escalating tensions benefit no one. New flash points heighten fears and tend to tear peoples apart. When elephants fight, it is the grass that gets trampled flat,” he said. “Given the size and military might of the contenders, we can only imagine and be aghast at the terrible toll on human life and property that shall be inflicted if the ‘word war’ deteriorates into a real war of nuclear weapons and missiles.” “I therefore call on the stakeholders in the South China Sea, the Korean Peninsula, the Middle East and Africa: if we cannot be friends as yet, then in God’s name, let us not hate each other too much. I heard it once said, and I say it to myself in complete agreement,” the President said.

The ruling, which invoked the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, “is now part of international law,” Duterte said via video conference in the 37th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit. ASEAN is a regional grouping that promotes economic, political, and security cooperation among its 10 members: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Duterte, whose six-year term ends on June 30, 2022, said: “Its significance cannot be diminished nor ignored by any country, however big and powerful.” Beijing claims about 80 percent of the sea, including parts of the exclusive economic zones of the Philippines and fellow ASEAN members Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. Taiwan also has partial claims. The 75-year-old Duterte told fellow ASEAN leaders: “We must, therefore,

remain united. We must show that we are masters of our region’s destiny and that we can work together to achieve shared aspirations and solve common problems.” “As I have said before, the South China Sea issue is ASEAN’s strategic challenge. How we deal with this matter lays bare our strengths and weaknesses as a community. We must act with haste,” he added. Duterte added: The Philippines is “committed to the immediate conclusion of a substantive and effective Code of Conduct in the South China Sea,” which “has been a long time and it is a long wait. “The Philippine position is clear and firm. We must solve the disputes peacefully and in accordance with international law, including UNCLOS.” He was referring to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea which is an international treaty adopted

rainfall dumped on rivers and dams still swollen by earlier storms. State weather bureau PAGASA said major dams in Luzon released water due to the torrential rains, including Bulacan’s Angat Dam, Isabela’s Magat Dam, Benguet’s Binga Dam and Ambuklao Dam. Some 3.8 million households lost power Thursday morning as the typhoon downed electric poles and wires while ripping through Metro Manila, Central Luzon and Calabarzon. The Manila Electric Co. said its repair crews would attend to troubled areas as soon as the weather allowed. An update at noon said the number of affected customers was down to 1.9 million. “Our line personnel have been dispatched and continue to assess the damage to our facilities. We are slowly restoring electricity service in these areas, particularly in areas with no impending hazards like flooding,” said Meralco spokesman Joe Zaldarriaga. For its part, west zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. announced water interruptions in some of its areas due to an increased turbidity level of raw water from Bulacan’s Ipo Dam. This would enable the water company to remove increased sediments from the raw water during treatment before releasing potable water to the distribution system. The Philippine Coast Guard declared a No Sail Policy in 24 provinces for all types of vessels, with 40 ports suspending operations. The EDSA Busway operations and railway operations of MRT-3, LRT-1, LRT-2 and the Philippine National Railway were likewise suspended Thursday. In its 5 p.m. weather bulletin, PAGASA said the typhoon has slightly weakened as it continued to move westward over the West Philippine Sea. Ulysses may exit the Philippine area of responsibility Friday morning. Meanwhile, OCD Assistant Secretary Casiano Monilla insisted the government was not caught “flat-footed” when it came to Typhoon Ulysses, blaming instead residents who refused to evacuate when they were asked to do so. “We were not actually caught flatfooted. It’s just that when our officials made their rounds, our kababayans did not immediately comply,” Monilla said in a press briefing. He said the government has exerted all efforts to disseminate warnings on the impact of Typhoon Ulysses ahead of its onslaught but some people opted to disregard these. “They rely on their gut feeling or the prevailing situation rather than the advice given by the PAGASA,” Monilla added.

By Rey E. Requejo THE United States welcomed on Thursday the decision of the Philippine government to suspend the abrogation of the Visiting Forces Agreement for another six months. “The U.S.-Philippines alliance remains vital to our robust, deep-rooted bilateral relationship. The United States will continue to partner closely with the Philippines to strengthen our mutual security ties,” the US Embassy said in a statement. This followed Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr’s announcement that President Rodrigo Duterte had decided to extend for another six months the termination of the VFA. The Visiting Forces Agreement governs visiting American troops temporarily in the country. The agreement, which came into force in 1999, upon ratification by the Philippine Senate, allows US soldiers to regularly train with their Filipino counterparts in the country. In February, Duterte ordered the abrogation of the VFA after the US revoked the visa of his close aide

and former police chief, now senator Ronald Dela Rosa. No specific reason was cited by the US on Dela Rosa’s visa cancellation, but many speculated it was due to his involvement in Duterte’s deadly war on drugs, which killed at least 6,000. The Philippines first suspended the VFA’s termination process on June 1, citing “political and other developments in the region.” Locsin Jr. stressed that Duterte’s decision to extend the suspension of the PH-US VFA would allow both sides “to find a more enhanced, mutually beneficial, mutually agreeable, and more effective and lasting arrangement on how to move forward in our mutual defense.” “The past four years have changed the South China Sea from one of uncertainty about great powers’ intentions to one of predictability and resulting stability with regard to what can and cannot be done, what will and will not be acceptable with regard to the conduct of any protagonist in the South China Sea. Clarity and strength have never posed a risk. It is confusion and indecision that

aggravate risk,” Locsin said in a statement addressed to White House National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien. “A great deal of credit for the renewal of stability and security goes to deft diplomacy, unequivocal expressions of policy, sturdy postures of strength combined with unfailing tact, and pragmatic national security advice exhibited by both our governments in the same period,” Locsin added. The VFA became effective on May 27, 1999, eight years after the closure of US military bases in the Philippines in 1991. The military accord was negotiated and signed during the time of President Fidel V. Ramos and ratified during the administration of President Joseph Estrada. The Philippines notified the US of the official termination of the VFA to the US on Feb. 11, 2020. Nearly three months later, the Department of Foreign Affairs on June 1 sent a diplomatic note to the US Embassy in Manila informing them of Duterte’s decision to put the termination on hold, citing “political and other developments in the region.”

Paris Forum: $500-m pledges for vaccines SEVERAL countries and foundations are set to pledge more than $500 million Thursday for a global pool aimed at ensuring equitable access to coronavirus tests, treatment and vaccines for all nations, organizers of a French forum said. The third edition of the Paris Peace Forum, which seeks to address governance issues with concrete projects, takes place Thursday and Friday in the French capital and is dedicated to finding ways to ease and get out of the COVID-19 pandemic. It takes place as the number of cases is rising rapidly across Europe and beyond. It also comes just days after American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech reported highly promising results for their vaccine candidate, raising hopes globally.

Marine trade revival seen Global maritime trade should recover next year after tanking by 4.1 percent in 2020 owing to the coronavirus, a UN agency forecast Thursday. “The pandemic has sent shockwaves through supply chains, shipping networks and ports, leading to plummeting cargo volumes and foiling growth prospects,” the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development said in its annual review of maritime transport. UNCTAD expects maritime trade growth to rebound by 4.8 percent next year, “assuming world economic output recovers.” But “the short-term outlook for maritime trade is grim,” it noted.

On Wednesday a record 65,368 people were in the hospital with COVID-19 across the country, marking the second day in a row and second time ever that the tally passed the 60,000 mark, according to the Covid Tracking Project. Around the country officials were scrambling to staunch the spread.

during Ondoy. “A lot of places are submerged. Many people are crying for help,” said Rouel Santos, 53, a retired disaster officer in Rizal province. Santos said the flooding caused by Ulysses brought back memories of Ondoy that hit in 2009 and claimed hundreds of lives. State weather forecaster Benison Estareja told ABS-CBN’s Teleradyo that Ulysses may have dumped more rains than Ondoy. “In terms of rains, we are still assessing but this is comparable. We can even say we experienced more rains under Typhoon Ulysses compared to Ondoy because this one is expansive,” Estareja said. With AFP

workers in flood-prone Temporary Treatment and Monitoring Facilities (TTMFs) in Luzon were transferred to various hotels to keep them safe from Ulysses. These included 36 patients and 26 staff at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Manila to Nice Hotel Mandaluyong; 41 patients and 26 staff at Rizal Memorial Coliseum in Manila to Nice Hotel Arayat; 41 patients and 15 staff from Philippine Arena in Sta. Maria, Bulacan to Nice Hotel McArthur; and 28 patients and 31 staff of Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City to Nice Hotel North EDSA.

TTMFs are also known as Mega Ligtas COVID Centers that are managed by the national government. The DOH said Centers for Health Development (CHD) situated along the path of Ulysses have prepositioned medicines and medical supplies including personal protective equipment worth P26 million. The operation centers at CHDs in Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Cordillera Administrative Region, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, and Bicol are working 24/7 in coordinating with various health offices and concerned government agencies in their areas, the DOH also said.

New cases fewer than 2K for 4th straight day—DOH By Willie Casas and Macon Ramos-Araneta THERE ARE 1,407 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases, pushing the country’s total to 402,820, the fourth straight day new cases counted fewer than 2,000, the Department of Health (DOH) said Thursday. The new cases for the day, however, do not include data from 17 accredited laboratories that failed to submit data on time, according to the DOH latest bulletin. “A total of 17 labs were not able to submit their data to the COVID-19 Data Repository System (CDRS) on November 11, 2020,” the DOH said. Cases of recoveries increased by 211 over the previous day, with the virus claiming 11 more lives in the country, raising the death toll to 7,721. This is 1.92 percent of the total cases. The total number of recovered patients stood at 362,417, accounting for 90 percent of the total recorded cases. This is 90 percent of the total cases. Interim Guidelines Following the World Health Organization reclassification of the severity of symptoms among COVID-19 cases, DOH issued Department Memorandum 2020-0381 or the “Interim Guidelines on the COVID-19 Disease Severity Classification and Management” also updating its disease severity classification to include “moderate” to ensure alignment with international definitions. In effect, the DOH said the following classifications would be utilized in the case reporting of health facilities and disease reporting units: ● Mild disease—symptomatic COVID-19 patients with fever, cough, fatigue, anorexia, myalgia, other nonspecific symptoms like nasal congestion, sore throat, nausea and vomiting, or loss of smell or taste prior to the onset of respiratory symptoms but with NO signs of pneumonia or hypoxi a ● Moderate disease—child, adolescent, or adult with clinical signs of nonsevere pneumonia (cough, dyspnea or respiratory rate of 21-30 breaths/minute for adults, and cough or difficulty in breathing and fast breathing or chest indrawing for children) ● Severe disease—Adolescent, or adult with clinical signs of severe pneumonia or severe acute respiratory infection; or child with clinical signs of pneumonia accompanied by either central cyanosis, severe respiratory distress, general danger signs like inability to breastfeed or drink, unconsciousness or convulsions, or fast breathing ● Critical disease—patients manifesting acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis or septic shock. In addition, COVID-19 patients who did not develop any sign or symptom shall be tagged as “asymptomatic.” Vaccine buyer If the DTI-attached Philippine International Trading Corporation (PITC) is the designated COVID-19 vaccine buyer, Senate President Pro Tempore Ralph Recto said it should waive its customary one percent to four percent service fee.

Duterte... From A1 the ongoing video conference of the 37th ASEAN Summit to monitor the situation. In the afternoon, Duterte conducted an aerial inspection of areas devastated by Typhoon Ulysses. Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said the Philippine National Police already deployed 3,261 Search and Rescue personnel in anticipation of Typhoon Ulysses. Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) personnel, he said, were deployed in various areas such as in Cavite, Manila, Marikina, Montalban and Rodriguez in Rizal to aid local government units in their respective rescue and relief operations. Roque said the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) central office, filed offices and the National Resource Operations Center have more than P800 million worth of stockpiles and standby funds. He noted that standby funds of more than P226 million are available with more than P184 million for Quick Response Fund. “There are stockpiles composed of more than 282,000 Family Food Packs (FFPs) amounting to more than P130 million, other food items amounting to more than P177 million and non-food items amounting to more than P271 million,” he said.

‘Ulysses’ displaces 18,874 families in Central Luzon

ITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga – Some 18,874 families or 73,945 individuals in several areas of Central Luzon were affected by floods caused by heavy to intense rains brought about by Typhoon “Ulysses” from Wednesday to Thursday afternoon. Based on the latest report of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Regional Field Office 3, the affected residents came from the provinces of Bulacan, Bataan, Pampanga, Zambales, and Aurora.

In Bulacan, some 17,070 families or 68,242 persons were affected by the floods that submerged low-lying areas in the province. Some 113 displaced families or 359 individuals are in various evacuation centers. In Aurora, there are some 1,235 families or 3,881 persons affected as continuous moderate to heavy rains inundated low-lying towns. A total of 1,067 families or 3,389 residents stayed in various evacuation centers in the province. In Bataan, some 378 families or 1,233 persons were displaced as floods hit the coastal towns. Meanwhile, a total of 180 families or 543 residents were transferred to various evacuation centers in Pampanga. In Zambales, 11 families or 46 individuals were likewise displaced by the typhoon. The DSWD-3 has stockpiled some PHP1.11 million worth of family food

packs in its regional and satellite warehouses in the region for distribution to the affected families. Bulacan Governor Daniel Fernando reported Thursday that 14,517 people were evacuated in the province due to Typhoon Ulysses. In a television interview, Fernando said many of the provinces’ cities and municipalities were flooded after the onslaught of Ulysses. Aside from the rainfall brought by the typhoon, he said the spilling of the Angat, Bustos, and Ipo dams contributed to the flooding in the municipalities of San Miguel, San Rafael, and San Ildefonso. Fernando said the towns of Sta. Maria, Bocaue, and Marilao, as well as Meycauayan City and other low-lying areas in the province were also inundated.

Pangasinan coastal area residents evacuated QC ‘recovering well’ thanks to village chiefs By Rio N.

They followed preemptive evacuation,” she told the media in an interview. “There was forced evacuations when (tropical cyclone wind) signal no. 3 was raised. The people already knew that there was a need to evacuate. They were already at the evacuation centers that night,” Belmonte said. She said there was enough time for preparations and evacuations before “Ulysses” battered Metro Manila on Wednesday night. The Quezon City government posted in its official Facebook page that there were 8,286 individuals, comprised of 2,467 families who had been evacuated. At least 31 barangays had been affected by typhoon “Ulysses.” The city has 44 evacuation centers.

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan – Residents of coastal areas in five towns and one city in Pangasinan have been evacuated due to the threat of storm surge as Typhoon Ulysses batters the province with strong winds and moderate to heavy rains.

there are 200 individuals evacuated in Sual town, 30 in San Fabian town, 64 in Bolinao town, while evacuees in Bani and Lingayen towns and Alaminos City are still being accounted for as of press time.

Lanao Sur gov’t sends relief to Maranao families By Nash B. Maulana COTABATO CITY—Maranao officials have sent relief assistance for residents and migrant traders displaced by recent Typhoons “Quinta” and “Rolly” in the Bicol Region. The provincial government of Lanao Sur has joined the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) in-aid of Maranao families in Legaspi City and in Daraga, Albay which were hard hit by the two recent strong typhoons. Lanao del Sur Governor Mamintal Bombit Alonto Adiong Jr. said his province shared modest provisions with residents affected by typhoons in Bicol, particularly among Maranao traders. They do small businesses in many parts of the country. Muslim Communities in Legaspi City and in Daraga, Albay affected by Super Typhoon Rolly received sacks of

rice from the Provincial Government of Lanao del Sur, said Jennie Alonto Tamano, head of the Provincial Information Office of Lanao del Sur. Incidentally, the Office of Vice President Leni Robredo has turned over sets of COVID-19 test kits, worth P 5 million to the provincial government. But Adiong dismissed speculations of political quid-pro-quo, because even President Rodrigo Duterte does not politically polarize the Filipino people in times of their healing-as-one nation amid the CoVid19 pandemic. Political observers said Maranao vendors in the country formed a “strong political deciding factor” in national voting, and proof of which had been past elections of Senator Sultan Alawiya Alonto (Adiong’s great grandfather) in 1938 and later, his son Senator Ahmad Domocao Alonto (his grandfather) in 1954.

but these were cleared already hence all roads in the province as of 8 a.m. (Thursday) are still passable,” he added. Balolong said there are no reported casualties and injuries in the province. The PDRRMO headed by Governor Amado Espino III has raised the province’s status to red alert on Wednesday as Pangasinan was placed under storm signal no. 3.

NETIZENS on Thursday slammed Environment Undersecretary Benny Antiporda and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority spokesperson Pircelyn Pialago after selfie photos they took at the Manila Bay with the so-called dolomite white sand beach in the background. The photos taken Thursday morning, which netizens branded as “insensitive” in the aftermath of Typhoon “Ulysses,” were deleted after the two government officials came under fire on social media. Antiporda posted the pictures on Facebook and wrote a caption: “Dolomite lang ang matatag” (only dolomite lasts). The photos were posted in response to criticisms that the strong winds and heavy downpour brought by the typhoon could possibly wash out the artificial white sand. Social media users said the caption made by Antiporda is “very insensitive” and “unbecoming” amid the series of serious situations happening in the country, such as the casualties and damages brought by three recent typhoons and the coronavirus disease outbreak. In a statement, Pialago said Antiporda’s post does not reflect her personal or official views on the matter. “Earlier this day, while my team and I were inspecting the thoroughfares of Metro Manila, I happened to bump into Usec. Antiporda. His Facebook post does not, in any way, reflect my sentiments on the matter. My team and I were there working to ensure the safety of the public and to clear the roads of debris. We started inspecting at 1 a.m.,” she said. In an earlier message sent to MMDA reporters, Pialago said: “Guys may problema sa post re kay Benny Antiporda. Okay lang ba next time naman guys kung kasama lang ako sa picture hindi naman ibig sabihin na statement ko un. Nadadamay ako sa statement ng ibang tao. Been outside since 2 AM.” “Nagpuputol kami ng puno, nagrerescue tapos sa isang insidente n nagpapic siya dahil nagkasabay kami sa Roxas Blvd madadamay ung agency. Unfair naman un. Kapag post ko naman guys, hindi ko naman dinedeny. Kapag post ng ibang tao okay lang clarify din natin if we said the same thing,” she added.

Valenzuela grants P6m to Bicol areas By Jun David VALENZUELA City is granting P6 million in financial assistance to the victims of Super Typhoon “Rolly” in some cities and municipalities of the provinces of Albay, Camarines Sur and Catanduanes. Mayor Rex Gatchalian said this is anchored on the City Government of Valenzuela’s compassionate program, VC Cares Plus, “which does not only aim to look after the welfare of its constituents but also of its brothers and sisters in other municipalities and cities who are in need.” Through Council Resolution No. 1871, Series of 2020, the 8th City Council of Valenzuela during its 60th Regular Session on Nov. 9 authorized Gatchalian to release the following amounts from the General Fund: Albay – P2.2 million for the Provincial Government of Albay, City Government of Tabaco, and Municipal Governments of Camalig, Malinao, Daraga and Guinobatan. Camarines Sur – P2.5 million for the Provincial Government of Camarines Sur and Municipal Governments of Bato, Buhi, Bula, Calabanga, Libmanan, Nabua and Pili. Catanduanes – P1.3 million for the Provincial Government of Catanduanes and Municipal Government of Virac. “Although we have spent so much funds in the response to COVID-19 that almost depleted our resources, we are still fortunate enough to have some amounts to spare to assist our brothers and sisters who suffered ill luck from the recent super typhoon while the battle against this pandemic is still on going,” Mayor REX said in a statement. During the past years, through the VC Cares Plus Program, Valenzuela City has been extending assistance to victims and casualties in areas hit by natural calamities such as typhoons and earthquakes.

Description

9. Pursuant to Supreme Court A.M. No. 04-02-04-SC dated 5 October 2016, petitioner hereby declares that: (a) total assets amount to PHP23,399,369.52, but cash and cash equivalents are only PHP686,717.89 versus current liabilities of PHP2,189,522.29 (Exhibit L – Inventory of Assets);

(ii)

potential monetary claims of Zim Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. against petitioner for disallowed disbursements, unpaid detention charges, and unbilled disbursement of around USD2,000,000.00 or PHP96,910,600.00, using the 7 October 2020 exchange rate of PHP48.4553 to USD 1.00 (Exhibit I – Schedule of Potential Claims);

Marcial (Exhibit T) 21. Resume of Mr. Alfredo B. Javier (Exhibit U) 22. Resume of Mr Fernando C. Castro (Exhibit V) The petitioner from its Petition has shown that it was organized under Philippine laws as a shipping agent for its sole principal, Zim Integrated Shipping Services Ltd., based in Hong Kong. However, due to the onset of the current health pandemic it incurred a loss in the amount of P2,812,119.92 as of September 30, 2020, and that it only has P686,717.89 in cash while facing current liabilities of P2, 189, 522.29. Exacerbating its situation is that its total debts and liabilities with potential claims amounts to a staggering P128,280,667. 54 vis-ả-vis its assets which are only worth a total value of P23,399,369.52 . Worse , this dire situation will deepen due to foreseeable negligible service revenue from its sole principal whose business is negatively impacted by the current coronavirus pandemic due to limited commerce and restricted movement of goods . After a close review and perusal of the Petition and the documents submitted by the petitioner, the Court, in the exercise of its discretion, is convinced and hereby finds that petitioner is indeed insolvent Petitioner’s financial condition shows as it duly asserted that it cannot anymore service the payment of its current liabilities as they fall due in the ordinary course of business and that its liabilities are clearly much greater than its assets. Petitioner’s total current assets is only P23,399,369.52 3 while its total debts and liabilities with potential claims amount to P128.280,667 54 4 Clearly, the outstanding liabilities of petitioner far exceed its total assets. Therefore, as defined under section 4 (p)5, Chapter I of RA 10142, the petitioner is undoubtedly insolvent. WHEREFORE, premises considered, the instant Petition is hereby GRANTED. The Court hereby DECLARES petitioner LE SOLEIL SHIPPING AGENCIES, INC. to be INSOLVENT. Accordingly, the Court hereby Declares, Pronounces and Rules on the following, to wit: (a) The Court ORDERS the liquidation of the LE SOLEIL SHIPPING AGENCIES, INC. which is hereby DECLARED as DISSOLVED : (b) The Court’s Branch Sheriff, Reydan Custer D. Casama, is hereby ORDERED to take possession and control of all the properties of petitioner LE SOLEIL SHIPPING AGENCIES, INC., except those that may be exempt from execution; (c) The petitioner is ORDERED to PUBLISH within 15 days from receipt hereof the instant Liquidation Order with a copy of its verified Petition in a newspaper of general circulation in the Philippines once a week for two (2) consecutive weeks; (d) All the creditors of LE SOLEIL SHIPPING AGENCIES, INC. are DIRECTED to make payments of any and all claims and conveyance of any property due the petitioner LE SOLEIL SHIPPING AGENCIES , INC. to the Liquidator---after the Liquidator shall have been appointed: (e) From the issuance of this Liquidation Order, petitioner LE SOLEIL SHIPPING AGENCIES, INC. is PROHIBITED from making any payments and transfer any of its properties; (f) All creditors are DIRECTED to FILE their respective claims with the Liquidator not later than five (5) days from the time the Liquidator takes his oath of office---after he or she shall have been appointed---and furnishing a copy thereof to the Court; (g) Petitioner LE SOLEIL SHIPPING AGENCIES, INC. is hereby AUTHORIZED to PAY the Administrative Expenses as they become due. 3

Biden presses ahead with transition, names chief of staff

S President-elect Joe Biden pressed ahead with his transition Wednesday despite Donald Trump’s refusal to acknowledge defeat, naming a seasoned Democratic operative as chief of staff in his first public White House personnel choice. Biden tapped longtime aide Ron Klain, who previously served as his first chief of staff while vice president, acknowledging the two had a long road ahead in fighting the coronavirus pandemic as well as healing a deeply divided nation. “His deep, varied experience and capacity to work with people all across the political spectrum is precisely what I need in a White House chief of staff as we confront this moment of crisis and bring our country together again,” Biden said. He made the announcement after visiting the Korean War Memorial in Philadelphia earlier in the day for a solemn wreath-laying ceremony to mark Veterans Day in the US. President Trump attended a separate, simultaneous ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington, in what should have been a moment of national unity but instead highlighted the Republican’s refusal to acknowledge election defeat. The president made no public remarks during the somber wreath-laying ceremony,

his first official appearance since the November 3 vote. Since media called the race four days ago Trump has not addressed the nation other than via Twitter and a written statement released to mark Veterans Day, and has not conceded to Biden, as is traditional once a winner is projected in a US vote. With Covid-19 cases shattering records across the country and states imposing new restrictions in a push to contain the virus before winter arrives, Trump seems to have all but shelved normal presidential duties. Instead, he has remained shut up inside the presidential mansion, claiming that he is about to win and filing lawsuits alleging voter fraud that so far have been backed up by only the flimsiest evidence. Early Wednesday he was tweeting fresh evidence-free claims of election wins and ballot tampering, despite the consensus from international observers, world leaders, local election officials and US media that the vote was free and fair.

HK legislature sits without democrats after exodus HONG KONG’S legislature sat empty of pro-democracy lawmakers Thursday after the bloc said they would resign en masse, turning the semi-autonomous city’s oncefeisty legislature into a muted gathering of Beijing loyalists. The resignations come with the city’s beleaguered pro-democracy movement and avenues of dissent already under sustained attack since Beijing imposed a sweeping national security law earlier this year. Wednesday’s resignations by 15 pro-democracy lawmakers were in protest at the city’s pro-Beijing government banning four of their colleagues from holding office. The four were disqualified in line with a resolution adopted earlier in the day by China’s parliament authorising the expulsion of any politician deemed a threat to national security. “Hong Kongers -- prepare for a long, long time where there is only one voice in society,” pro-democracy lawmaker Lam Cheukting told reporters outside the chamber as he hung a poster attacking the city’s pro-Bei-

jing leader. “If you are a dissident, get ready for even more pressure.” Hong Kong’s leader is chosen by proBeijing committees, but half of its legislature’s 70 seats are directly elected, offering the city’s 7.5 million residents a rare chance to have their voices heard at the ballot box. Scuffles and protests would routinely break out in the chamber, with the pro-democracy minority often resorting to filibustering and other tactics to try to halt bills they oppose. The resignations will leave just two legislators outside the pro-Beijing camp. The United States warned after Wednesday’s move of further sanctions against China, which it said had “flagrantly violated” Hong Kong’s autonomy. Critics say the national security law’s broadly worded provisions are a hammer blow to the flickering freedoms that China promised Hong Kong could keep after the end of British colonial rule in 1997.

France honors six-year-old WWII resistance hero FRANCE paid tribute to a boy regarded as its youngest-ever resistance hero on Wednesday as part of the nationwide Armistice Day ceremonies in memory of those who died in World Wars I and II. In a special ceremony, the name of Marcel Pinte, who was only six years old when he was accidentally shot by friendly fire, was inscribed on the war memorial of Aixesur-Vienne, just west of the central city of Limoges. Marcel, known as Quinquin, is seen as a hero for carrying messages under his shirt to leaders of the resistance against Nazi occupation during World War II. He died, aged just six, on August 19, 1944, when a large deployment of resistance fighters arrived by parachute ahead of an expected battle around Aixe as Allied forces began to liberate France. They were heavily armed and Marcel was hit by several bullets when a Sten submachine gun went off accidentally. “People who pass by this monument to the dead will notice his name and particularly his

15 Asia-Pacific nations to sign big trade pact By Alice Philipson with Martin Abbugao

ANOI, Vietnam—Fifteen Asia-Pacific nations are set to sign an enormous free trade deal at an online summit that started Thursday, with the pact seen as a coup for China in extending its influence across the region. Once signed, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) will be the world’s largest trade pact in terms of GDP, according to analysts. The pact, which was first proposed in 2012 and viewed as a Chinese-led rival to a now-defunct US trade initiative, loops in 10 Southeast Asian economies along with China, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia. “After eight years of negotiating with blood, sweat and tears, we have finally come to the moment where we will seal the RCEP Agreement this Sunday,” said Malaysia’s trade minister Mohamed Azmin Ali, ahead of the virtual

meeting. Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc also confirmed the pact would be signed this week during opening remarks at the online summit. India had been due to sign the pact but pulled out last year over concerns about cheap Chinese goods entering the country, though it can join at a later date if it reverses its position. The RCEP—whose members account for around 30 percent of

global GDP—would be a “major positive step forward for trade and investment liberalization” in the region, said Rajiv Biswas, Asia Pacific chief economist at global business consultancy IHS Markit. “RCEP will be the world’s biggest free trade area measured in terms of GDP,” he told AFP. The pact’s expected signing comes as the 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) fight to mitigate the crippling cost of the coronavirus, which

Chinese shoppers spend over $100b in post-pandemic Singles’ Day binge BEIJING, China—Chinese shoppers splurged more than $100 billion in the world’s biggest shopping event of the year, in a huge spending spree that suggests the country’s all-important army of consumers is fighting back after months of pandemic agony. Hundreds of millions used online stores to scoop up bargains in the Singles’ Day consumer marathon that dwarfs the US “Black Friday” phenomenon. Everything from jewelery and video games to furniture and food was sold on the country’s biggest e-commerce platforms run by tech titans Alibaba and JD.com. While “Singles’ Day”—so-called for its annual 11.11 date—has long been a 24hour event, its creator Alibaba has expanded it to an 11-day promotion beginning November 1. Alibaba said Thursday it took 498.2 billion yuan ($74.1 billion) worth of orders during the extravaganza, a 26-percent rise on the same period last year, while JD.com recorded sales valuing 271.5 billion yuan. However Alibaba did not publish a tally for Wednesday’s takings, making it hard to directly compare sales. Last year, sales on Alibaba platforms alone for the 24-hour period totaled $38.4 billion. This year’s event took on even more significance as it was seen as a bellwether of consumer sentiment in the world’s number two economy as it recovers from the pain of coronavirus lockdowns. “We have benefited from the robust recovery of consumption in China,” Jiang Fan,

president of Alibaba’s Tmall and Taobao shopping sites, said in a statement Thursday. As the country emerges from the effects of the virus and containment measures, the recovery in retail sales has lagged that seen in industrial sectors, but analysts have said it is gaining pace. And the temptation of a bargain helped that recovery. “I deliberately stayed up until after midnight so I could buy the robotic vacuum cleaner that I had been eyeing for weeks now,” Liu Yu, a worker in Beijing, told AFP. “It was originally over 4,000 yuan, but it only cost a bit over 2,000 on Singles’ Day— what a bargain.” And Sam, a Tianjin-based student, said: “I was waiting for this day—I had put tons of stuff in the cart already days before Singles’ Day, and when the day came, I didn’t even check what the discount actually was, I just clicked ‘confirm’ and bought them all. “I assume I have saved a lot.” Conceived in 2009 by Alibaba as an antidote to Valentine’s Day, the event falls on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, and was meant to be an occasion for individuals to treat themselves to something new. But it has expanded to encompass much of China’s entire retail sector, including traditional bricks-and-mortar stores, which also offer Singles’ Day promotions. The United States was the top source of imported products purchased on Alibaba platforms during this year’s festival, despite trade and diplomatic tensions between Beijing and Washington. AFP

has ravaged their economies and left many battling a severe public health crisis. The pact is also seen as a mechanism for China to draft the rules of Asia-Pacific trade, following years of US retreat under President Donald Trump. “It certainly lends advantage to China’s geopolitical ambitions,” said Alexander Capri, a trade expert at the National University of Singapore Business School. But US President-elect Joe Biden

may engage more actively with the region, Capri added, in much the same way as former President Barack Obama did. “Think of the Biden administration as sort of a continuation of the Obama administration, certainly when it comes to the pivot to Asia,” he said. While the region waits to see how its relationship with the US will unfold, it is battling several other thorny issues—including disputes over the South China Sea. The flashpoint waters—claimed in their entirety by Beijing but also contested by Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan—will also be on the agenda at the summit. But as several nations battle serious Covid-19 outbreaks, and with many promised priority access to Chinese-made vaccines, a stand against Beijing is seen as unlikely. Instead, the focus will be on economic development in the bloc, with many of its tourism and export-reliant countries suffering badly. “The road ahead is not a bed of roses,” said Vietnamese President Nguyen Phu Trong at the summit, warning that leaders would be expected to work together to control infections and support people who are suffering.

Ayala’s profit down 75% to P11.4b in first three quarters By Jenniffer B. Austria CONGLOMERATE Ayala Corp. said Thursday nine-month net profit declined 75 percent to P11.4 billion from P46.1 billion in the same period last year as the pandemic hurt its real estate and banking businesses. The country’s oldest conglomerate said it saw recovery in overall business in the third quarter when net income more than doubled to P3.4 billion from the second quarter on improved performance of Ayala Land Inc. and AC Industrials, lower loan loss provisions booked by Bank of the Philippine Islands and the absence of re-measurement losses from Manila Water Co. Inc. “It is encouraging to see improvements in the performance of our businesses as the economy gradually reopens. Ayala Land, BPI and AC Industrials have all shown a marked recovery in their third-quarter results compared to the previous period,” Ayala Corp. president and chief operating officer Fernando Zobel de Ayala said in a disclosure to the stock exchange. “Meanwhile, Globe and AC Energy are fairly stable components that have provided a boost in our portfolio in recent months. We are hoping to see this trajectory sustained in our businesses with a further loosening of restrictions,” he said. The group attributed the positive recovery in the third quarter to the easing of quarantine restrictions in the country which helped restart the domestic economy. Ayala Land registered a 73-percent decline in net income in the first three quarters to P6.4 billion as a result of lower project bookings from suspended construction activity, restricted mall and hotel operations and closure of resorts. BPI’s nine-month profit dropped 22 percent to P17.2 billion because of P21.1 billion in loan loss provisions it booked in anticipation of an increase in non-performing loan levels.

Phoenix Petroleum recovered with Q3 income of P296m PHOENIX Petroleum, the country’s third largest oil player, returned to profitability in the third quarter with a net income of P296 million, following a net loss of P5 million in the second quarter. It attributed the growth to the company’s focus on cost discipline along with a more stable oil price environment. Phoenix reported a 42-percent increase in total volume in the third quarter from the same period last year as overseas demand almost tripled and domestic business recovered from the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that began in the second quarter. It said overall volume increased 23 percent from 2019. Overseas volume was led by subsidiary, PNX Petroleum Singapore, which emerged as a strong regional player by broadening its portfolio with liquefied petroleum gas last year. Overseas LPG volume also grew by 8 percent from the previous quarter through Phoenix Gas Vietnam, as the country became one of the first to reopen its economy amid the pandemic. Leveraging on a supply partnership with Hengyi Industries, LPG Vietnam grew its volume threefold since Phoenix’s acquisition of the business last year. Meanwhile, domestic volume increased by 14 percent quarter-onquarter as the community quarantine restrictions on travel and movement continued to ease nationwide. Retail led the recovery with a 36-percent sequential volume growth in the third quarter. Phoenix said even with public transportation yet to be fully restored to normal, retail sales already reached 80 percent of pre-COVID volume. It said close to 100 percent of Phoenix’s retail network was under regular operations, with total station count at 665 as of end-September.

Business Singapore firm buying 17.5% stake in AC Energy for P20b By Darwin G. Amojelar

ingapore-based Arran Investment Pte. Ltd., an affiliate of investment fund GIC Private Limited, is acquiring a 17.5-percent stake in AC Energy Philippines Inc. for about P20 billion, the local energy company said Thursday.

ACEN, formerly Phinma Energy Corp. and now a unit of AC Energy Inc., said in a disclosure to the stock exchange its board of directors approved the proposal of Arran Investment to acquire a 17.5-percent stake in the company.

It said the transaction would be implemented through stock rights offering and follow-on offering. It would entail the subscription of Arran to 4 billion primary shares via a private placement and the purchase of secondary shares from AC Energy. “The investment, which will be implemented through a combination of subscription to 4 billion primary shares [via a private placement] and purchase of secondary shares from AC Energy, will be at a price of P2.97 per share on a post-SRO basis and is subject to agreed price adjustments,” ACEN said. It said the price would represent a 25-percent premium to the board-approved SRO price of P2.37 per share, which is subject to regulatory approval. The terms of ACEN’s SRO, including the offer price, are subject to approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACEN also said its board of directors approved the pricing and volume of the shares that would be issued under the stock rights offering. ACEN will issue 2,267,580,434 shares at P2.37 per share subject to the approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission. ACEN said its parent company AC Energy Inc. would not participate in the rights offer to provide maximum availability of rights shares to the minority stockholders. It said, however, that ACEI would have the option to participate in the institutional offer. “Given the current 2,517,014,282 outstanding shares held by minority investors, every 1.11 shares held entitles such minority investors to subscribe to one share in the rights offer. As such, a minority investor holding 10,000 ACEN shares will be entitled to subscribe to ~9,009 ACEN shares in the rights offer,” it said.

IN BRIEF SMC tollway unit reports lower profit THE tollway unit of San Miguel Corp. said Thursday net income fell by 50 percent in the first nine months because of travel restrictions amid the COVID-19 pandemic. South Luzon Tollways Corp. said it booked a net income of P1.20 billion in the JanuarySeptember period, down from P2.43 billion it earned in the same period last year. SLTC said net income in the third quarter amounted to P496 million, down 36 percent from P779.8 million a year ago. The company’s toll revenue in the first nine months declined 32 percent to P3.18 billion from P4.68 billion following the significant drop in traffic volume in the second quarter. Third-quarter toll revenue amounted to P1.19 billion, 23 percent lower than last year’s P1.54 billion. “Traffic flow have shown a recovery after the ECQ has been eased to modified EQQ from May 16 to May 31 and general community quarantine starting on June 1,” SLTC said.

ALFAMART’S 1,000TH STORE. Employees and managers of Alfamart Philippines open their 1,000th store in Barangay Santiago, General Trias, Cavite in a simple celebration. The store mirrors the journey of Alfamart, the first and only super minimart chain in the Philippines, in achieving its 1,000-store milestone amid a global pandemic. Alfamart Philippines chief operating officer Harvey Ong recalls the company opened the first ever Alfamart in Trece Martires City, Cavite in 2014.

PH rises to 48th spot among 63 countries in talent ranking By Othel V. Campos THE Philippines improved its ranking by a notch to 48th place among 63 economies in the IMD World Talent Ranking 2020. IMD, a business education school in Lausanne, Switzerland, said the Philippines performed well in both readiness and appeal factors, with rankings of 31st and 33rd, respectively. The report evaluated the development, attraction and retention of human capital in 63 economies in the light of the impact of COVID-19 crisis and regional political changes in Europe including Brexit. The IMD’s World Competitiveness Center takes a three-pronged approach in measuring talent in economies. The investment and development factor measures the resources earmarked to cultivate a homegrown workforce while

the appeal factor evaluates the extent to which an economy attracts foreign and retains local talent. The readiness factor measures the quality of the skills and competencies that are available in a country’s talent pool. It said that on a regional level, the Philippines was behind Indonesia which ranked 45th but ahead of India at 62nd place and Mongolia at 63rd. Among the highly ranked Asia-Pacific countries were Singapore at 9th, Australia at 13th, Hong Kong at 14th, Taiwan at 20th, New Zealand at 21st, Malaysia at 25th, Korea at 31st, Japan at 38th, China at 40th and Thailand at 43rd. The report revealed that the APAC region was relatively stable in the last few years, with improvements from Singapore and the Philippines and small declines from Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. It said the poor performance of the

Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Mongolia was partly due to slow increase in female participation in the labor force over the last few years, although they still perform poorly relative to other economies. It said that in terms of public spending for education, every Asia-Pacific nation evaluated, with the exception of Singapore, had very low education expenditures per student in terms of US dollars. With the exception of Malaysia, the region also performed low in pupil-teacher ratios. The top 5 economies in the IMD World Talent Ranking were Switzerland, Denmark, Luxembourg, Iceland and Sweden which have excellent education systems and therefore rank highly in the investment and development factor. Switzerland has been leading the report for four years in a row.

SHAKEY’S Pizza Asia Ventures Inc., a leading full-service restaurant chain, said Thursday it posted a net loss of P172 million in the third quarter, a reversal of the P161.8-million net income it bookedin the same period last year as business operations remained affected by the pandemic. Shakey’s said in a disclosure to the stock exchange third-quarter revenues dropped 48 percent to P1.06 billion from P2.04 billion it posted a year ago. Shakey’s president Vicente Gregorio said, however, that they were now seeing gradual improvement in operations as the company managed to register a positive net income in September, a first since the pandemic started. System-wide sales in the three months ending September reached P1.4 billion, equivalent to 56 percent of last year’s sales. Since dine-in services resumed in June, the company said it saw a gradual increase in dine-in sales and healthy growth of delivery business. Jenniffer B. Austria

PLDT to increase broadband links PLDT Inc. said Thursday it expects broadband installations to reach at least 100,000 a month as more people are working and studying from home amid the COVID-19 pandemic. PLDT said broadband installations grew to around 72,000 new connects per month in the third quarter from an average of 40,000 each month in 2019. “As demand continues to outpace capacity, with service applications having doubled, we are meeting this surge in demand by ramping up installation capability,” said PLDT senior vice president and head of Home business Menardo Jimenez. “Installations are expected to spike to at least 100,000 homes per month, moving forward,” he said. PLDT said that in areas where its fiber service was not yet available, it continued to deploy wireless Home WiFi service powered by mobile subsidiary Smart’s 4G/LTE network. “With this broadband network, PLDT is ramping up its capabilities to be able to serve more Filipinos nationwide by rolling out more fiber and more ports in different parts of the Philippines than it has ever done before because we want to connect as many Filipino families as we possibly can to our fiber network which is, by far, the most extensive and advanced digital transport network in the country,” PLDT chief revenue officer Al Panlilio said.

Economist worried over slowing loan growth By Julito G. Rada

P15-B CEMENT PLANT. Taiheiyo Cement Philippines Inc. is investing P15 billion in a new production line in Cebu to support the growing demand for cement in local housing, commercial and infrastructure development sectors. TCPI’s integrated cement manufacturing facility in San Fernando, Cebu (as shown) will be fitted with new and advanced technologies from developers in Europe and other leading global technology providers.

AN ECONOMIST said Thursday the slowdown in bank lending in September was a sign of fading investment momentum that will affect how the economy will recover from the impact of the global pandemic. ING Bank Manila’s senior economist Nicholas Mapa was responding to the latest data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas showing that the growth of bank lending eased to 2.8 percent in September from 4.7 percent in August. “The deceleration in bank lending reflects the current trends reported in the GDP figures with capital formation cratering as both firms and corporates hold back big ticket investments to wait out the storm. These trends are also mirrored in the import numbers, which show substantial falls for capital goods and durable equipment as investors turn gun shy on making big bets

given the economic recession,” Mapa said in a report. He said the government appeared “shy to spend in a big way” with government spending expected to trend lower to close out 2020. “With investment momentum fading, the economy will be lacking its top two key sectors in the quarters to come, which does not bode well for growth prospects down the line,” Mapa said. Mapa said despite the efforts of the BSP in rolling out a mix of conventional and unconventional easing measures to support the recovery (low interest rates, bond market presence and copious liquidity), bank lending failed to respond to the very aggressive bouts of easing. “From here, we can only expect downward trends in lending across most sectors to fall, households into single digits soon and overall lending to edge closer to zero with the economy in pandemic,” he said.

Maradona leaves hospital after surgery

Mark Daigneault

Thunder name Daigneault head coach LOS ANGELES—The Oklahoma City Thunder promoted assistant Mark Daigneault to head coach, succeeding Billy Donovan who departed in September after the team’s playoff exit. Daigneault has risen to the position after six years with the club that included a head coaching assignment with Oklahoma City’s developmental G-League team. The 35-year-old takes the helm with less than three weeks to go before training camp opens on December 1, with the 2020-21 season due to tip off on December 22. Daigneault, who was an assistant to Donovan last year, will be tasked with getting the Thunder back into the post-season, something Donovan did in each of his five seasons. But after the Thunder were ousted in the first round of the 2020 playoffs, he departed and was later hired as head coach of the Chicago Bulls. “We are thrilled to have Mark assume the role of head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder,” Thunder executive vice president and general manager Sam Presti said in a statement. “He has been a selfless and effective leader within our organization since his arrival in 2014. Mark is a values based leader, continuous learner, and someone that will help us continue the repositioning of our organization on and off the court. “The amount of head coaching experience and diverse experiences through his tenure with the Blue is rare for someone his age.” AFP

Hamilton poised to clinch th 7 title; contract talks set I

STANBUL—Lewis Hamilton can seal a record-equalling seventh drivers’ world title, position himself to be “best of the best” and set up long-awaited negotiations for a new Mercedes contract at this weekend’s Turkish Grand Prix. The Briton needs only to prevent his Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas outscoring him by eight points to retain his crown and, in the eyes of many including former Ferrari rival Felipe Massa, move on to become the most successful in F1 history. A seventh championship would draw him level with Massa’s erstwhile Ferrari team-mate Michael Schumacher for titles, but with the record for wins, poles and podiums, as well as consecutive points finishes, he will in many eyes already be the “greatest of all time”. Brazilian Massa, who himself missed out on a title triumph when Hamilton claimed his first in Sao Paulo in 2008, has no doubt that the Englishman, whose contract expires later this year, will deserve that soubriquet and a salary to match it. “Lewis can really be the best of the best and everybody will say that for years and years, or maybe decades, or whatever,” he told the F1 Nation podcast. “So, I think he is just preparing his two or three-year contract, which I think he deserves. “What he is doing... He shows that he

definitely deserves it—to be different to all of the other drivers in terms of everything and even in terms of salary.” Hamilton departed the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola earlier this month with an enigmatic suggestion, after his record-increasing 93rd win had secured Mercedes’ unparalleled seventh consecutive constructors’ championship, that he may not return to racing in 2021. Bumper new deal Notions of retirement were rejected by his team chief Toto Wolff, who is also out of contract this year. Massa suggested Hamilton is set for a bumper new deal ahead of any confirmed “salary cap” in the sport. “I remember when Michael was my team-mate and he was like that,” he recalled. “Michael was completely different to everybody in terms of everything—in records, numbers and salary. “For sure, Michael helped many other drivers to increase their salary. That’s what Lewis is, in my view, trying to do. I think he is ‘doing right’ and he deserves it.” In the simplest terms, Hamilton will be

champion again if he beats Bottas, who trails him by 85 points with four races remaining. For the Finn to keep alive his own title bid, he must out-score Hamilton by nine points or more. Given that Hamilton has beaten him at 10 of this year’s 13 races to date and has been in the points at a record 46 consecutive races, Bottas faces a daunting challenge. Even if he wins on Sunday at the Istanbul Park Circuit, returning to the calendar for the first time since 2011, Hamilton can still take the title by finishing second and clocking the fastest lap. With the title race reduced to a duel between the two ‘silver arrows’ drivers, many other teams have turned already to plans for next season—Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto deciding to stay in Italy to concentrate on car development.Sporting director Laurent Mekies will take charge, but maintain close contact with Binotto, missing his first race since taking over last year. “He has taken an innovative approach so his voice and input will be heard loud and clear,” he said.

OLIVOS, Argentina—Argentine football legend Diego Maradona left hospital on Wednesday followed by a convoy of supporters, eight days after undergoing surgery to remove a blood clot on his brain. Maradona did not speak to the crowd of journalists and chanting fans gathered outside in masks as he left the Olivos clinic in Buenos Aires by ambulance shortly after his doctor Leopoldo Luque told reporters he could go home. Private security personnel held up dividers to screen the ambulance before it left. A convoy of Maradona’s supporters followed the ambulance after dozens had waited outside the clinic for days, holding photos of him and chanting their encouragement. One banner read “Eternally Thanks.” Luque had earlier published on Instagram a photo of himself hugging the 60-year-old, who wore a bandage on his head. Maradona is expected to continue his rehabilitation in Tigre, 30 kilometers (19 miles) north of Buenos Aires, near his daughter Giannina’s home. “Diego has gone through perhaps the hardest time of his life,” his lawyer Matias Morla said earlier Wednesday, adding it was a “miracle” that the clot “which could have taken his life, was detected.” “What is needed now is family togetherness and being surrounded by health professionals,” said Morla. “With the doctors and his family, Diego will be as he should be: happy.” Serious health issues The World Cup-winning former Argentine captain underwent surgery last Tuesday to remove a clot lodged between his brain and skull. He had looked unwell during a brief appearance on October 30 to mark his 60th birthday at the stadium of Gimnasia y Esgrima, the Argentine Primera Division team he coaches. He seemed to have difficulty walking and did not stay to watch his team’s game. AFP

NEW YORK—The NBA’s board of governors formally approved a deal for a shortened 2020-2021 season on Tuesday, with the new campaign tipping off on December 22. An NBA statement said the league’s board unanimously approved adjustments to the current collective bargaining agreement, which has been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The statement said the league would continue to negotiate with the National Basketball Players Association on other aspects of the upcoming season. Under a deal reached on Monday, the NBPA and the league agreed on each team playing a 72-game schedule. The agreement caps possible player

salary reductions due to the pandemic to no more than 20% and at that level spread over up to three seasons. In the 2020-21 campaign, the salary cap level for clubs would be $109.140 million with a salary tax on clubs going above $132.627 million. In future seasons, the salary cap and tax level would increase by 3-10% over the prior season, with tax payments trimmed in proportion to income decreases. Free agency negotiations would start on November 20 with signings allowed starting on November 22. The December 22 start date means the NBA is able to retain its lucrative slate of televised Christmas

Bini is a girl group of eight vibrant young individuals who embody the idea of a modern Filipina

Star Hunt Acamedy’s BINI takes on the P-pop scene NEW rookie girl group BINI, Star Hunt Academy’s bet for P-Popstardom has arrived on the local music scene. From the 250 hopefuls, eight vibrant young individuals who embody the idea of a modern Filipina—sweet, fierce, independent, and informed—have emerged to become the faces and voices to watch in the growing musical genre. Comprising BINI are Aiah (19), Colet (18), Maloi (18), Gwen (17), Stacey (17), Mikha (16), Jhoanna (16), and Sheena (16). BINI was trained by Filipino voice coaches Kitchy Molina and Anna Graham, and Austrian-born dance coach Mickey

APAMILYA star Jericho Rosales and wife Kim Jones were among the first people to help in the rescue operations of stranded residents in the badly hit Brgy. Tumana, Marikina.

Perz. They were also trained under esteemed South Korean training group MU Doctor, which has already helped launch successful idol careers of K-Pop stars like Mino (WINNER), Hye-bin (Momoland), Hyojung (Oh My Girl), I.M (Monsta X), Changbin (Stray Kids), and Kim Sohee (Produce 101). Star Hunt Management head Laurenti Dyogi said BINI will perform a mix of original songs and classic revivals. For its pre-debut single, BINI just dropped “Da Coconut Nut,” an electro-pop remake of the Smokey Mountain classic and National Artist Ryan Cayabyab composition.

MU Doctor collaborated with Korean musical producer VO3E to transform “Da Coconut Nut” from novelty to a dance ditty worthy of the P-Pop scene. Korean dance coaches Moon Yeon Joo and Kwan Seong Chan, who have worked with big names such as BTS, Twice, Red Velvet, and Seventeen, helped with the group’s choreography.

Jericho Rosales, wife Kim help rescuers in Marikina

Using their surfboards, the couple went out of their way to help residents

inside their village who were trapped inside their homes as typhoon Ulysses ravaged the entire city and caused severe flooding in the capital region and some parts of Luzon. “This morning paglabas namin, baha na. Usually kapag baha dito kasi, ganyan talaga. Laging ganyan ang problema. Sometimes walang boats or flotation devices so naglabas kami ni Kim ng surfboard,” he said in an interview with ABS-CBN News. “Okay naman [yung mga narescue], safe naman sila, thank God. May mga iba lang na hindi na mapuntahan nung rescue teams kasi malakas na ‘yung agos and wala pang boats,” he added. Eleven years ago, when typhoon Ondoy battered the country, the actor did the same thing. And when asked to compare Ulysses to Ondoy, the 41-yearold actor said that he didn’t have any data to compare the two super typhoons but thinks “malala ito para sa akin.” “Maraming taong hindi nakaalis. Based on nangyari na before tapos caught by surprise na naman tayo na ganito, I think in that sense medyo mas malala ito,” he explained. According to Marikina’s public information Facebook page, Marikina River has risen 22 meters as of 11:00 a.m. yesterday. It reached 21.5-meter level during Ondoy, said Mayor Marcelino Teodoro. For future disasters, Jericho appealed to the public to stay calm but be ready for any eventualities. “Stay calm and it’s too late now to complain or anything so mas maganda, kung tayo mismo in the future we can prepare. It’s always preparation para sa akin. Preparation ng mga nasa bahay and ng mga rescuers. Of course, support the rescuers. I hope they get enough funds for rescue. We get better warnings sana for the people para hindi na mangyari,” he said.

The Absolut Vodka limited-edition Rainbow bottle is available exclusively at all S&R stores for a suggested retail price of P599 for its 700 ml bottle and P779 for its 1L format starting this month.

Angel Locsin uses her social media account with more than eight million followers to help the public get informed.

Meanwhile, Angel Locsin, known for relief efforts during natural calamities and disasters, took to Instagram to share emergency numbers of agencies people can contact to ask for help.

“My heart bleeds for those heavily affected by these typhoons, Rally and Ulysses. Praying that you, your loved ones, and colleagues are safe,” Angel told her 8.2 million followers on the popular

social media platform. “Our resilience will always be grater than any calamity. Alagaan natinang isa’t isa. Keep safe mega kababayan ko,” her post carried on.

ALTHOUGH June is now known all over the world as LGBTQ+ Pride Month, celebrating the LGBTQ+ identity and community doesn’t necessarily have to be restricted to a certain time of the year. In order to create a world that’s equal for everyone, Pride has to be recognized and celebrated all the time. It’s in light of this belief that Absolut Vodka is launching its Rainbow edition, a popular LGBTQ+ Pride limited-edition vodka bottle for the very first time in the Philippines this October. The bottle, first introduced internationally in 2008, features the vibrant rainbow design of the LGBTQ+ flag depicted in brush strokes, evoking the freedom and diversity of the community, as well as the brand’s artistic heritage. The bottle also features a “Taking Back Diversity” statement at the back, a rallying cry for equality. “We’re really excited to show our support to the local and global LGBTQ+ community with the introduction of the limited-edition Absolut Rainbow,” said Frances Favila, Absolut Vodka Brand Manager. “Absolut Vodka has had a long history of LGBTQ+ advocacy, and with the numerous LGBTQ+ population here in the Philippines, it was only right that we celebrated their pride.” Absolut Vodka has been a staunch supporter of the LGBTQ+ community since the early 1980s, with its founder LO Smith being a pioneer for human rights and an advocate for openness, diversity, and equality since the brand’s founding in 1879. Absolut was also the first spirits brand to have the Pride flag design on its bottle in 2008, through a partnership with the flag’s designer, Gilbert Baker.

Towards a world-class airport

The hardworking NAIA general manager Ed Monreal

E all know that the status of a country’s international airport is a major factor in the success of its tourism industry.

Several years ago, every time I walked through any of our international terminals, I would feel depressed looking at its deplorable condition, which is a far cry from how we, in the industry, have pictured our country in the many tourism expos we attend abroad. This sentiment was exacerbated when the international media ranked our airport among the worst in the world for what seemed like eternity, from 2011 to 2015. It was such an embarrassment for us in the travel industry. Good thing, in 2016, the airport’s new management, led by the hardworking and no-nonsense general manager Ed Monreal, immediately accomplished improvements in the terminal buildings. One of the welcome changes I noticed right away was the disappearance of many “eye sores” in the terminals’ interiors. There is now more space for passengers to walk through, unobstructed by unnecessary clutter, and with beautiful pocket gardens along the way. The air-conditioning system has also improved tremendously, especially in the areas of the immigration counters and the baggage claim. Also, the airport’s new, colorful and imposing logo is a welcome sight. The three-letter code for Manila, assigned by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), was given a fresh and modern look, making it stand tall among the logos of the other airports in the world. Now comes this very good news that, at last, our Department of Transportation has already scheduled a thorough rehabilitation of our airport to make it really world-class and at par with the modern airports of the world. The project will be undertaken by Megawide Construction Corporation,

a leading and innovative infrastructure and engineering company in the country. Its flagship infrastructure projects include the beautiful Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA), the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX), and the Clark International Airport’s new Passenger Terminal Building. I’m very excited about this latest development because, every time I am

in Cebu, I always marvel at the very modern design and impressive interiors of MCIA. I know that the rehabilitated NAIA will finally be a source of pride for the Filipinos, especially for us in the industry. I can hardly wait to see the new design. Of course, as expected, there are always brick-brats and intrigues that come with any project the government

initiates. I already heard rumors casting doubt on Megawide’s financial capability, claiming that its equity falls short of the minimum required by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) for the project. But this was readily refuted by the Build Operate Transfer (BOT) Law which requires the project’s proponent to have the capability to finance the various phases only

when they are due, and not for the proponent to straight away fork out 30 percent of the project’s total cost. There is also a wild rumor that, when Megawide takes over the airport, NAIA’s current employees will lose their jobs. Naturally, anybody who hears this would definitely be alarmed because NAIA has approximately 2,000 organic employees and around 10,000 job order personnel. Megawide chairman and chief executive Edgar Saavedra was quick to explain that, when they took over the reins of MCIA, they made job offers to 100 percent of its employees because they saw “the value of their talent and inherent knowledge of the airport.” They will do the same for the NAIA personnel. Those who accept will enjoy the same benefits, or even more than what they are currently receiving. And, as part of their commitment to deliver a world-class airport facility to our tourism industry, Megawide will form an Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer Team (ORAT) which will run a state-of-the-art airport training facility not just for the professional development of NAIA’s organic employees but also for that of its contractual personnel. This capability to continuously upskill the airport’s workforce excites me because this is how a first-world airport should operate. These merry developments certainly bring smiles to those of us in the tourism industry because we have been hankering for a world-class facility to match the image of our country which we continue to pride ourselves on at big tourism expos we attend abroad. Finally, our marketing efforts will soon be crowned by a modern airport which, I’m sure, will be reflective of Filipino culture, aspirations and ambitions. ----------O---------YOUR WEEKEND CHUCKLE: Q: Why can’t the nose grow 12 inches long?
