DOH warns of virus surge

Reason: Decreasing adherence to health protocols in malls, open spaces By Willie Casas

OVID-19 cases are shooting up in several areas, including Metro Manila, as people indulge in unsafe holiday activities, the Department of Health (DOH) said Thursday.

In a press briefing, Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said there is a “continuous growth of cases” in some areas, “signaling the start of the surge.” “New cases are increasing. [A] surge will most likely happen. It is not a question anymore of if, but when and by how

much,” she said in an online briefing. Vergeire cited reports on the public’s “decreasing adherence” to physical distancing in malls and holiday sales in open spaces, which increases the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Next page

Ex-speaker’s ally ousted in new rigodon By Maricel Cruz ANOTHER key ally of ousted speaker Alan Peter Cayetano lost his chairmanship of a major committee in the House of Representatives during its last plenary session for the year Wednesday night. Anakalusugan Rep. Michael Defensor, who is identified with Cayetano, lost his chairmanship of the committee on public accounts to Probinsyano Ako Rep. Jose Singson Jr. Defensor said he was surprised by his replacement. “He didn’t even have the courtesy to talk with me even as we had a short meeting last week as regards the investigation to be conducted by the committee on public accounts. He even requested that we all suspend investigations until January which I respectfully agreed to.” Next page

Senators take turns hitting out at tollway jam, NAIA mess PH won’t deal By Macon Ramos-Araneta THE Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), as the primary regulator of toll operators, cannot escape the blame for the tollway mess, the radio frequency identification (RFID) system or cashless transaction, Senator Grace Poe said Thursday. During the virtual hearing of the Senate Public Services Committee chaired

by Poe, the latter said it would seem that the TRB had been content to do two things and nothing else: raise toll rates and collect fees. “Truth be told, TRB can’t even do its job of collecting toll fees that well,” she said. To support her statement, Poe cited the Commission on Audit which said the TRB failed to collect toll fees in

the amount of P44.24 million in 2017 and P859.94 million in 2019, almost a billion pesos. She said: “It should be noted that the TRB, like the NDRRMC and PhilHealth, suffers from having a governing board which is dominated by ex-officio Cabinet secretaries who have more important things to do.” Next page

with ICC, opts for own probe By Rio N. Araja MALACANANG insisted Thursday the Philippines would not cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC) pending a decision that could pave the way for a full-blown investigation into President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs. “When we withdrew our membership from the Rome Statute, we also withdrew from the obligation to cooperate so we are under no obligation to cooperate with the ICC,” presidential spokesperson Harry Roque told a news conference, referring to the treaty that created the ICC. ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda recently said there was a basis to believe that crimes against humanity were committed in the course of the anti-narcotics campaign, adding her office would decide whether or not to seek authorization from the court to open an investigation within the first half of 2021.

PRESIDENT Emmanuel Macron Thursday tested positive for COVID-19, the presidency said, sending at least three fellow leaders as well as other top French officials into self-isolation. Macron had attended an EU summit in Brussels last week and also on Monday was personally present at a conference in Paris organized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The president of the European Council,

Charles Michel, who was also present in Paris for that meeting, has entered self-isolation, his spokesman said. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Portugal Prime Minister Antonio Costa, who also had contact with Macron, are going into quarantine.

Rody, Cabinet OK flood control plan M

ALACAÑANG announced on Tuesday that President Rodrigo Duterte and his Cabinet okayed plans to build infrastructure that would help prevent flooding in Marikina and Cagayan province, after typhoon Ulysses in November had trapped residents on top of their rooftops as they waited for rescue from floods.

According to Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu, who co-leads the task force, the contractors would dredge the heavily-silted rivers for free, in exchange for being allowed to sell or use sand from there. They will be required to pay a 4-percent excise tax, he said. Contractors should be Filipino firms, but will be allowed to sell the sand to China. China is undertaking massive reclamation projects including in the disputed South China Sea, where it has denied Philippine claims and encroached upon the country’s exclusive economic zone. “There is an agreement there that the sand they got cannot go to some places

like the West Philippine Sea, the Scarborough Shoal. There are specified areas where they could go,” he said. The West Philippine Sea is the country’s EEZ in the South China Sea. China, the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan have overlapping claims in the international waterway believed to be rich not only in marine resources but also of gas and minerals. China claims over almost the entire South China Sea, where it reclaimed disputed features and fortified those with military installations, but this has been invalidated by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in 2016.

In a meeting held last Monday, the Cabinet approved recommendations of the Build Back Better task force in charge of typhoon rehabilitation efforts, according to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque. The plans include the widening of the Magapit narrows and the removal of 19 sandbars in Cagayan River; removal

of illegal structures in Marikina river; fast-tracking proposed DPWH flood mitigation projects including the Upper Marikina Dam and the Parañaque Spillway Rehabilitation of existing floodgates and pumping stations and construction of seven flood control projects along Bicol River.

DOLE: Pandemic displaced 550,000 OFWs By Vito Barcelo and Maricel V. Cruz

President has made it clear: there is only one person in charge of getting the vaccine, it’s Secretary [Carlito] Galvez,” he said. The President has repeatedly defended Duque from criticism of his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the corruption allegations at the state-owned Philippine Health Insurance Corp., where he sits as board chairman. In an interview on ANC, Duque said the required confidentiality disclosure agreement (CDA) with Pfizer was originally intended to be signed by the Office of President (OP) and not by the Department of Health (DOH). He said Pfizer wanted the OP, through the Office of the Executive Secretary (OES), to sign the CDA. On Aug. 11, Pfizer sent a draft of the CDA, which was meant to be signed by the OES on behalf of all government agencies, Duque said. “That would have spared Pfizer from signing a confidentiality agreement with many other government agencies,” he added. On Sept. 24, however, the ES advised that the DOH will be the signatory of the CDA after “repeated reviews” from concerned agencies, Duque said. He said the DOH cannot sign on behalf of the whole government, adding this is why the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. had signed the CDA separately. Duque signed the CDA on Oct. 20. DOST and Galvez signed it in November. “I have the chronology of events, so that this is all documented,” Duque said, denying suggestions that he failed to act promptly. “When you go through a process, you cannot just be hurrying up things just like that. You have to be prudent and cautious especially because you are talking about a novel vaccine,” he added. Duque said they coordinated with Pfizer regarding revisions in some provisions of the CDA that he described as “one-sided.” Philippine Ambassador to Washington Jose Manuel Romualdez said negotiations for the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer were “on track.” “We are still on track for the Pfizer vaccine but most likely (the) delivery will be mid next year once Secretary (Carlito) Galvez, Jr. gives the order,” he said in a text message. The Philippines could have secured some 10 million doses of vaccine from the American pharmaceutical giant as early as January 2021, but Locsin said the deal did not push through after “someone dropped the ball”. In response to the alleged delays in the progress of the vaccine deal with Pfizer, the Department of Health (DOH) maintained that it has acted with urgency and in accordance with the protocols of the government. “The DOH stands clear that while the department wants to expedite the process, there are systems and protocols in place and we cannot cut corners,” the DOH said in a statement Thursday.

The senator emphasized that the backlash in the implementation of the electronic toll collection system reminded those in public service about the importance of careful planning and thorough preparation. She said it also exposed the tendency of some government agencies to yield to what seems like “trial and error” when it comes to implementing new policies. “Indeed, some policies require urgent implementation – especially during a pandemic. However, requiring a shift to 100 percent cashless toll collection system in a matter of three or four months seems a little hasty and unrealistic.”. “At the risk of sounding like a broken re-

EU vaccinations to start Dec. 27

MORE than half million overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) were displaced by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic abroad, while 3.8 million workers lost their jobs, the Department of Labor and Employment said Thursday. International Labor Affairs Bureau Director Alice Visperas said as of December 17, some 550,000 OFWs lost their jobs abroad, while an estimated 1.1 million more were unable to resume or start working overseas since January.

DOH... From A1 Aside from Metro Manila, the areas that recorded the highest spike in new cases were Calabarzon, the Davao Region, and the Cordillera Administrative Region. Vergeire said Metro Manila, Region 1 and Region 2 have reversed the downward trend in the number of cases in the last two weeks. The surge can also be seen in the average daily attack rate (ADAR), or the number of new cases in a city or province over a two-week period, divided by the population of the city or province. Metro Manila’s ADAR was at 2.71 for the last two weeks, much higher than the country average of 1.35. The virus’s reproductive rate, or the number of people that one infected person passes the disease to, is now above 1.0 from 0.8, indicating the potential for exponential growth. “I think it is most significant that the R value has risen above 1 for the first time in months and this suggests that the (cases) started to increase,” said Nicanor Austriaco, a fellow at the OCTA Research team that has been tracking the pandemic. “The danger [is that the rate will] go up exponentially and explosively, and that is what we are trying to prevent.” Vergeire, however, said the country has yet to experience a surge of COVID-19 cases, despite infections going up.

“Of this figure, 370,000 of the displaced were repatriated to their home provinces, 126,000 displaced are still waiting for their repatriation, and 82,000 displaced and opted to stay onsite,” she said in a press briefing. Meanwhile, Bureau of Local Employment Director Dominique RubiaTutay said 3.8 million workers in the country were also adversely affected by the pandemic. “These are composed of those who were retrenched, permanently displaced, those undergoing flexible work arrangements and those still under temporary closure,” she said.

However, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said that despite the high number of displaced workers, the country’s employment situation is now showing signs of improvement, with more companies resuming operations. Bello noted that most of the displaced workers nationwide were affected by temporary closures, meaning they will be rehired when the companies reopen. To address the high unemployment rate, Bello said DOLE supported the Department of Trade and Industry’s move to allow companies under general community quarantine to operate at 100 percent capacity.

“Based on scientific definition, there is no surge yet. We are still recording a spike in new cases but we do not want to get to the point where we have a surge, which is why we are trying to prevent it,” she said. Vergeire warned that Metro Manila cases could surge to as high as 4,000 cases a day if the public fails to stick to pandemic protocols such as social distancing, the wearing of face masks and shields, and fewer interactions during the holidays. “Cases in the National Capital Region may reach upwards of 4,000 per day, which may overwhelm our health system capacity to upwards of 80 percent utilization by the end of January if we do not act aggressively to halt transmission now,” she said. Prof. Ranjit Rye of the OCTA Research Team noted that the long holiday break could feed the rise of COVID-19 all over the country as pandemic fatigue sets in and more people go out of their homes. “What we do now is more important than any government intervention in the next few weeks. This rise could become a surge...We can still do something. It is not an eventuality at the moment, the increases are modest...If we help each other, I think we can prevent the surge from happening,” he said. Data from Google’s COVID-19 Community Mobility Trends showed an increase in mobility over the past 3.5 weeks: 12 percent increase in retail and

recreation, 11 percent in transit stations, and 9 percent in parks. Vergeire said hospitals usually have weaker capacity in January due to personnel transitions, end-of-contract breaks or non-renewal of job orders. She warned against complacency vis-avis the coronavirus especially the public’s decreasing adherence to minimum health standards in places such as Divisoria and Recto as shown in news reports. She also warned against superspreader events and venues: indoor events where lots of people are talking or even singing and the air is not being exchanged, diluted or filtered. Examples of these are restaurants, bars, clubs, choir practices, weddings and even funerals. “By simply talking, you release 170 viral particles per minute...How much more if there is shouting or loud singing?” she said. The health official also defended the use of both face masks and face shields, saying the shields provide an extra layer of protection for individuals. Wearing face masks has 67 percent individual effectiveness in preventing transmission while face shields give 66 percent protection, according to local research. When used together, the effectiveness goes up to 89 percent. Several hospitals and medical personnel are now preparing for the surge of COVID-19 cases during the Christmas season, in order to ensure they will be able to handle the fresh cases.

cord, I will say it again – we laud the intention behind this policy,” she further stated. Sen. Emmanuel Pacquiao urged the TRB to fix the problems besetting toll operations using cashless transactions and provide immediate solutions. Otherwise, Pacquiao warned he would recommend the suspension of the implementation of the cashless system on tollways and revert to the combined use of cash and radio frequency identification (RFID). “Before we go fully cashless, we must fix the system. The primary purpose of cashless transactions is to hasten the flow of traffic on our tollgates, and that is what we want,” said Pacquiao. “That is the goal, so that our motorists will not be inconvenienced,” he added. He called on tollway concessionaires Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation and

San Miguel Corporation to balance the number of cash and RFID toll gates to ease the congestion along expressways. “Let us address the problems related to the implementation of the cashless system without delay,” said the senator. Sen. Imee Marcos echoed the questions asked by President Rodrigo Duterte in his latest public address on the RFID system Marcos said: “Did we really hold a dry run? Do we have a trial run? In 2018 there’s already a problem, and then suddenly there’s a 3-month deadline for the implementation, also the threat of penalty to those who will be unable to install RFIDs.” Marcos also inquired if there were consultations with the two operators, San Miguel Corporation and Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation, “knowing full well that they are not interoperable?”

The EU is to start COVID-19 inoculations on December 27, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Thursday. “It’s Europe’s moment. On 27, 28 and 29 December vaccination will start across the EU,” she tweeted. Her spokesman Eric Mamer told journalists the rollout was conditional on the European Medicines Agency authorizing the use of the Pfizer/BioN-

Tech vaccine when it meets on Monday. Britain and the United States are already inoculating people with that vaccine under emergency national authorisations. The EU is carrying out a coordinated vaccination program across its 27 member states to ensure fair access to doses. The European Commission has sealed contracts with seven suppliers of potential vaccines to ensure all adult EU citizens will eventually be able to be inoculated. AFP

From A1 Meanwhile the Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines noted the report of the ICC on the recent findings of human rights violations in the country’s campaign against illegal drugs. “As the country’s national human rights institution, CHR urges the government to acknowledge and address the observations of the ICC, with regard to its findings, and calls for greater transparency and accountability from the government in the movement towards providing redress for cases of human rights violations,” it said in a statement. “In the end, it is the duty of the state to ensure a healthy balance between liberty and authority and general ad-

Anti-graft body suspends GM of Mactan-Cebu By Rio N. Araja THE Office of the Ombudsman has slapped a six-month suspension without pay of Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority general manager Steve Dicdican for violation of the Anti-Dummy Law. “Evidence on record suggests that the evidence of guilt is strong,” Ombudsman Samuel Martires said in a Dec. 16 order. The Ombudsman prohibited Dicdican to enter his office to prevent him from interfering with the pending case. The MCIAA official was also slapped with administrative charges for grave misconduct, gross neglect of duty and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service. The National Bureau of Investigation filed a criminal complaint against Dicdican, officers of GMR Megawide Cebu Airport Corp. and 11 foreign nationals for the supposed operations of these foreigners at the MCIAA. It said that Dicdican and the other respondents “conspired, connived, colluded, schemed and acted together to violate the 1987 Constitution and the Anti-Dummy Law.” The NBI said the MCIAA was operated and managed by the foreigners with the knowledge and approval of the Filipino officers of the MCIAA and GMCAC. “Evidence submitted by the complainant and gathered by the investigators showed that the foreign nationals were actually performing executive and managerial positions,” the NBI report said.

Ex-speaker’s... From A1 Defensor added: “I would not have resisted if he had asked me to give up the position as I have said in the past. Civility and leadership dictate that even as we had differences in the past leadership fight, that we treat each other in a respectable manner. I am comforted by the thought that clear lines have been drawn.” Singson lauded Defensor for “competent chairmanship” of the committee, saying he succeeded in transforming the committee into a potent anti-graft arm of the House of Representatives. Singson was elected as the new chairman of the public accounts panel Wednesday night, replacing Defensor. Following his election, Singson assured Defensor of swift action on legislative measures pending before the committee. He asked Defensor to continue to actively play a vital role in the House panel’s bid to pursue measures that would guarantee Filipinos utmost observance of public accountability, competence and honesty among state employees and officials. Singson said he and Defensor share a common goal of strengthening the oversight powers of Congress, pointing out that this is one way of delivering efficient and honest governance. “Mike’s style of leadership of the committee was uncompromising and endowed with utmost intellect but always fair. That can be a tough act to follow but I will do my utmost to measure up,” Singson said. Before his election as committee chairman, Singson was deputy minority leader, He joined the majority camp as soon as Rep. Lord Allan Velasco was elected speaker in October. Manila Rep. Bienvenido Abante was also a former minority bloc member as its leader. He is now deputy speaker.

herence to the rule of law,” it added. CHR also said “the primary responsibility to respect, protect and fulfill the rights of individuals remains to be with the state which exists as a modern instrument to balance both individual and social welfare. Thus, the government is called upon to squarely address all the violations that have resulted from the campaign against illegal drugs.” “The Commission shall continue to cooperate with existing domestic and international protection mechanisms to ensure that human rights violations are addressed and perpetrators are held to account for human rights violations. We remain vigilant and will continue to condemn actions that threaten the peace and security of the people whether committed by state or non-state actors,” it said.

Technology to fight human trafficking By Rey E. Requejo

J

USTICE Secretary Menardo Guevarra said Thursday the developments in technology could also be used to fight human trafficking and neutralize syndicates preying on their victims.

SUPER HEALTH CENTER. Manila Mayor Isko Moreno on Thursday launched the new Foreshore Super Health Center and Lying-In Clinic for the Batang Manila children in the Tondo area.

Loggers must be Villafuerte pushes for Bangko sa Baryo bill passage stopped before By Maricel V. Cruz they cut trees By Rio N. Araja ENVIRONMENT Secretary Roy Cimatu said Thursday illegal loggers must be stopped before they cut trees. He said he wanted the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to shift from reactive to preventive in its efforts to curb illegal logging by stopping criminals before they cut trees. He said it was high time the agency moved away from the traditional model of forest protection operation, which had been “largely measured in terms of apprehended undocumented forest products, and not in terms of standing trees.” “Ang trophy ay ‘yung nakatayong mga puno, hindi ‘yung mga putol na,” he said. Cimatu said the massive flooding that submerged parts of Cagayan Valley, Rizal and Marikina during the onslaught of typhoon “Ulysses” should serve as a “wakeup call” for the DENR’s field offices to recognize their accomplishments in the confiscation of undocumented forest products “not as trophies” but as “manifestations of their failure” as enforcement officers. “The illegally gathered forest products should actually be regarded as their [DENR field officers’] failure to prevent these trees from being illegally cut,” Cimatu said. Illegal logging was tagged as one of the reasons behind the devastating “Ulysses” floods, he said. Cimatu tasked Undersecretary for Special Concerns Bernardo Leonardo to create four special composite teams that would augment anti-illegal logging operations in Cagayan Valley, Bicol and the upper Marikina River basin as protected landscapes. He says the creation of the augmentation teams in those areas is a strategic move on the part of the DENR to shift its orientation in forest protection operation more towards prevention by “going hard and swift” against the financiers and operators. The order is pursuant to Executive Order 23 of 2011 calling for the creation

A LAWMAKER from Camarines Sur has called for the swift congressional approval of the House approved measure that would allow convenience stores, pharmacies and other highly accessible retail outlets to act as additional service delivery channels of banks in remote and unbanked communities. Rep. Luis Raymund Villafuerte said the passage of the proposed Bangko sa Baryo Act would allow banks to reach farflung communities by tapping retail outlets as their cash agents.

He said Congress could help the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas meet its target of at least 70 percent of adult Filipinos having bank accounts by December 2022 at the earliest. Villafuerte is the principal author of House Bill 6924 that was approved by the House of Representatives on third and final reading on Aug. 11, and was received by the Senate on Aug. 19. A counterpart measure has been filed in the Senate by Senator Grace Poe that remains pending at the committee level. “Covid-19 has made it imperative

for us to act fast in realizing President [Rodrigo] Duterte’s goal of financial inclusion for all Filipinos as those who are unbanked or have no access to financial services were the least prepared financially to cope with the economic impact of the pandemic,” Villafuerte said. The cash grants under the government’s social protection programs could also have been efficiently and rapidly distributed if the beneficiaries had national IDs along with bank accounts or access to digital payment channels, said Villafuerte.

In his speech before the annual Manila International Dialogue Against Human Trafficking, which was held virtually for the first time due to the coronavirus-2019 pandemic, Guevarra said while human trafficking syndicates were now using technology to conceal their operations, it could also be harnessed by authorities to counter their activities. “As 2020 comes to a close, we are gaining a better understanding of what a global response to trafficking will look like in this decade and beyond,” Guevarra said. He said the COVID-19 situation had provided an opportunity for the authorities “to have a glimpse of what the future of counter-trafficking means for our country and for the whole world in general.” “There is a realization and consensus among stakeholders that developments in technology that have spawned new ways of committing trafficking can also be harnessed and utilized to respond to trafficking,” Guevarra said. He said more technology companies were now joining the fight, developing tools and technology solutions to combat trafficking. While admitting that the pace of human trafficking investigations in general had been dictated by traffickers and syndicates, Guevarra said “the growing network of private-sector engagement in this initiative is highly encouraging. “Indeed, the battleground has shifted,” he said. Guevarra expressed optimism that “technology can facilitate the effective administration of justice. “While we note and acknowledge that technological gaps still exist, the criminal

Bill eyes boost Tougher measure on money laundering approved to all barangays By Macon Ramos-Araneta SENATOR Manny Pacquiao has filed a bill that seeks to provide regularization, salary standardization and additional benefits that would supplement those already provided in the laws, rules and regulations for all appointed and elected barangay officials. He said barangay workers were the forgotten heroes in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. In filing Senate Bill 1956, otherwise known as the Barangay Officials Salary Standardization Act of 2020, Pacquiao said that while other frontline workers like those in the health and security sectors were constantly reaping praises for their roles in the fight against the pandemic, barangay workers were barely appreciated but were constantly criticized. “We are all witnesses to the selfless service of barangay officials and personnel in the performance of their responsibilities,” Pacquiao said. “Despite the danger to their own health, barangay personnel assist in the monitoring and help in identifying the COVID-19 afflicted in their barangays and push the objective to completion. In many cases they promptly bring them to hospitals and quarantine facilities.” In his bill, Pacquaio is seeking the standardization of the salaries of barangay officials, starting from the Punong Barangay, to the members of the Sangguniang Barangay, the Sangguniang Kabataan Chairperson, the Barangay Secretary and the Barangay Treasurer.

SENATOR Grace Poe said Thursday the people and the economy will be the beneficiaries of a tougher Anti-Money Laundering Act or AMLA, which was approved on second reading Wednesday night. Senate Bill 1945, authored by Poe, contains amendments to the law that aims to curb money laundering and terrorist financing activities. Poe, head of the Senate committee on banks, financial institutions and currencies, said the approved version was a

product of the senators’ well-studied and thorough deliberation of the measure. “Preserving the integrity of the financial system will lead to a suitable investment climate, which can contribute in tangible ways to create jobs and other livelihood opportunities,” Poe said. “I believe in the intention of this law but I also admit with the help of our colleagues that we were able to cure a few things that might have been too much of an imposition on us.”

PAL offers free tests to workers

By Joel E. Zurbano

FREE SWAB TESTING. Thursday was the second day of the free swab testing for market vendors and stallholders in San Andres Market, a gift from the City of Manila through the Manila Health Department.

The measure was crafted as a response to the key findings of the mutual evaluation report or MER that evaluated the Philippines’ compliance with the 40 recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering. “If we fail to act now, the FATF Asia Pacific Joint Group or AP-JG will place the Philippines in the so-called ‘gray list’ along with countries like Albania, Pakistan, Panama, Syria, Uganda and Zimbabwe,” Poe said earlier. Macon Ramos-Araneta

FLAG carrier Philippine Airlines is offering free Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction or RT-PCR tests to the Filipino workers arriving from the Middle East. PAL spokesperson Cielo Villaluna said from Dec. 21 to 31, the RT-PCR test will be given to migrant workers and their dependents with the results released within 24 hours upon their arrival at the airport. “Land-based OFWs and their dependents departing from Dubai, Doha, Dammam and Riyadh and Bahrain may now avail of PAL’s own One-Stop Shop facility for their complimentary RT-PCR tests upon arrival,” Villaluna said.

The 24-hour turnaround time for the RT-PCR tests leads to a shorter quarantine isolation period of no more than one night, as compared to the two to five days by the other testing centers. Villaluna said PAL made the special holiday treat exclusively to migrant Filipino workers and their dependents as a way of thanking the country’s modern-day heroes. She said the quick release of the results would allow “our modern-day heroes to maximize the time they spend with their families during the Christmas and New Year season.” The Philippine government, through the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, will continue to handle the quarantine hotel accommodations of all arriving workers.

THE Commission on Human Rights on Thursday welcomed the United Nations General Assembly resolution on the Moratorium on the Use of the Death Penalty. The Philippines is one of the 123 UN member states that voted in favor of the resolution on Dec. 16, with 38 member states against the resolution and 24 who abstained, Commissioner Karen Gomez-Dumpit said. “The Commission recognizes this positive development particularly with the Philippine vote, which signals the government veering away from the reintroduction of the death penalty,” she said. “The vote is also a visible indication that on this issue the government can change course to correct its position and deliver its commitments as a State Party to international human rights treaties including the Second Optional Protocol on Civil and Political Rights.” Gomez-Dumpit said globally, there was a trend toward the abolition of the death penalty. Since 2007, UN member states have called for a moratorium on the death penalty, and the 2020 UN resolution presents an increase of the states voting encouragingly for a moratorium. “The CHR is resolutely opposed to the death penalty and its re-imposition. We are strongly advocating against the death penalty bills tabled in Congress, and we have released advisories and research studies advising government of its treaty obligations,” she said. “We presented empirical data and evidenced-based findings of capital punishment not having a place in the justice system. International human rights mechanisms such as the UN Treaty Bodies, Special Procedures and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights have called the attention of the Philippine government on its position on the reintroduction of the death penalty.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS

Makati gives wellness packs to frontliners By Joel E. Zurbano THE Makati City government has started distributing individually-packed wellness kits to more than 2,500 medical frontliners in the city. Each kit contains grocery items, a juice box with a reusable tumbler, one dozen original glazed flavored donuts, and a food voucher worth 500 pesos. “Through these wellness kits, we aim to send a message of thanks to our medical frontliners. We want to show them that we care, and we treasure them. We gratefully attribute to their tireless efforts and contributions the effectiveness of our COVID-19 response,” Mayor Abigail Binay said. The target recipients of the wellness kits are the health workers and frontliners from the Makati Health Department, Ospital ng Makati, and Incident Command Post. The initial distribution of the kits was spearheaded by the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office and Human Resource Development Office during a turnover ceremony at the City Hall Quadrangle last December 16. Mayor Binay said that the city scheduled an exclusive distribution of the wellness kits per department, in consideration of the safety and convenience of the frontliners. Since the pandemic broke out in March, the local government has provided substantial and strategic support for the city’s essential workers. Besides providing adequate personal protective equipment, hazard pay, free shuttle services, vitamins, free flu and pneumonia vaccination, and free mass testing for the health workers, the city approved the increase of salary for nurses and the additional hiring of health workers in Makati.

QC truck ban on 2 avenues By Rio N. Araja QUEZON City Mayor Joy Belmonte on Thursday announced the enforcement of a partial truck ban along Visayas and Mindanao avenues under its territorial jurisdiction to ease traffic congestion, especially during rush hour. She approved Ordinance No. SP-2984 of 2020, prohibiting trucks and other heavy vehicles from traversing these major roads from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. “Those areas have been the favorite passage of trucks to other parts of Metro Manila,” Belmonte said. “But that has caused traffic congestion, especially during rush hours, an inconvenience to the motorists as well as the commuters. That’s why we have decided to enforce a partial truck ban,” she added. Under the ordinance, trucks and other heavy vehicles will not be allowed to pass the said routes during those times, in accordance with the modified truck ban policy of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority. Covered by the ban are trucks with six or more wheels, regardless of purpose, nature or use and other vehicles classified by the Land Transportation Office as heavy vehicles, such as buses. Belmonte clarified the truck ban will not be enforced during Sundays and declared regular or special holidays. Exempted from the provisions of the measure are fire trucks, garbage/hauling/ dump truck, police/military truck or bus, and other similar motor vehicles owned by or under contract with the government for rendering public service works. Any violator will be fined P5,000 or imprisonment of one year, or both, at the discretion of the court.

packs for the city government’s ‘Pamaskong Handog sa Pamilyang San Juaneno’ kickoff on Wednesday. This was the 15th wave of food packs that were distributed to 45,000 in San Juan’s 21 barangays since March, when the government imposed a total lockdown in Metro Manila to mitigate the spread of COVID -19.

Cotabato turnover to BARMM done By Nash B. Maulana

C

OTABATO CITY—The city’s turnover on Tuesday may just have been overemphasized, observers said and was much misunderstood to mean the entire local government powers and administrative machinery were placed under the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).

But sources privy to details, said the document signed by Secretary Eduardo Año of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and his

Bangsamoro counterpart Atty. Naguib Sinarimbo covers the turnover of resources, assets, equipment, and fixtures of the DILG Region 12 field office to

BARMM’s Ministry of the Interior and Local Government (MILG). Chief Minister Ahod Balawag Hadji Murad Ebrahim welcomed the turnover, saying: “We are committed to upscaling services that can further boost the potential of Cotabato City, unique with its own context and in support to its existing resources.” Sinarimbo had earlier said one possibility was that the DILG 12 would be taking in along the personnel of Cotabato City Local Government Operations Office (CLGOO), and that the BARMM-MILG would bring in its human resources to run that office. Later, Año said under the guidelines of

the Intergovernmental Relations Body (IGR) Body, the transfer of supervision to MILGBARMM also covers resources of the city’s DILG –CLGOO personnel plantilla. “That (CLGOO) has a plantilla that is now under the control of the MLG-BARMM,” Año told reporters in a press briefing following the turnover ceremonies at the Old Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Center in the city. Done in two hours, including a press briefing, the turnover proved to be peaceful despite fears raised on purported threats of bomb attacks in SMS messages from anonymous texters.

Pampanga cops nab bird hunters By Jess Malabanan

TONDO FORESHORE. Acrylic barriers were installed in areas where face-to-face assessments or consultations are conducted, while color-coded zoning signs were installed in strategic areas in the Tondo Foreshore Super Health Center.

Tondo Foreshore Clinic SMFI’s gift to Manila’s poor SM FOUNDATION Inc. (SMFI) turned over Thursday its gift for Manila residents—the newly-renovated Tondo Foreshore Super Health Center and Lying-in Clinic. This serves as the 171st Wellness Center of SM Foundation and the first “super health center” in Manila with a one-stop shop polyclinic that provides: medical consultations, dental services, elderly and PWD care, diabetes and hypertension clinic, immunization, prenatal and postpartum care, adolescent care, IDOTS

The additional services available in the center are the specialty clinics, an upgraded diagnostics and laboratory services, improved pharmacy, women’s wellness center and treatment hub for HIV patients. SMFI included the following new features: adolescent counselling area; elderly lounge, mobile play cabinet for children, breastfeeding station, mother-

baby friendly ward, specialty clinic, triage area, records room, reception area and comfort stations. This two-story health center, which caters to a population of 45,200 individuals, is located near SM City Manila and SM City San Lazaro. SM Foundation helps empower the Health Centers ability to transition to the new normal by renovating and refurbishing the facility and strengthening its capacity to provide health services, especially during this pandemic.

CANDABA, Pampanga—Six bird hunting enthusiasts were hauled to jail after they were caught in the act shooting to death two great egrets at the Candaba Swamp in Barangay Paligui here Thursday. Police Lt. Colonel Efren David Jr., chief of Candaba police, identified the suspects as Jaime Buenaventura, Pablo Cunanan, Jose Carlo Dizon, Michael Gamos, Vicente Pangan and Rodrigo Canlas, all from Barangay San Joaquin in Sta. Ana, Pampanga. David said the suspects are known bird hunters frequenting the Candaba Swamp, a 32,000-hectare haven of migratory birds coming from Asia and other parts of the globe. Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office chief Laudemir Salac said residents in the community tipped-off the police on the presence of bird hunters leading to the arrest of the suspects and confiscation of hunting rifles and wounded birds. The local government unit here and PENRO declared Candaba Swamp as protected area. Bird hunters have been prohibited there. Only bird watchers and photographers could get inside the protected zone. “It is very clear that killing and destroying of wildlife species is illegal and punishable against our wildlife law. We will not tolerate this incident even during this pandemic to protect our migratory birds and other wildlife species since they are vital components of our environment,” said Salac.

ARC supplies water to typhoon-hit Isabela Bataan son Mallari

TYPHOON AID. ARC and employees of its Isabela plant distribute cases of bottled water and soda products to residents affected by Typhoon Ulysses in Isabela.

ACCESS to safe drinking water is a priority in the aftermath of calamities such as typhoons. When Typhoon Ulysses ravaged Isabela, displacing around 2,500 residents, ARC Refreshments Corporation (ARC) immediately responded by donating cases of Alon bottled water along with 1.5 liters of soda products. Private sector participation of companies like ARC is crucial in helping mitigate the detrimental effects of calamities as well as improve the situation of disaster survivors by providing for their immediate needs. ARC employees personally delivered the donations to the towns of Cauayan

City, Tamauini, and Ilagan City in Isabela. “We are committed to providing assistance for communities in times of crisis. We embrace our responsibility in lending a helping hand to our fellow Filipinos severely affected by Typhoon Ulysses,” said ARC EVPCOO Manny Perez. ARC has actively engaged in corporate social responsibility programs since 2012 and always supported communities affected by disasters, among other philanthropic endeavors. “Our business is anchored on putting value in everything we do; be it producing quality products,

cultivating meaningful business relationships, or embracing social responsibility,” Perez shared. Since the start of this year, the company has involved itself in various charitable activities that address the immediate needs of the Filipino people during calamities. Last January, ARC also helped the Taal Volcano eruption victims in Batangas. Its donation of 1,900 cases of beverages prompt relief to evacuees in the Department of Science and Technology area in Tagaytay City, Batangas City Stadium, Bauan Technical High School, Alitagtag Police Station, and the St. Padre Pio Shrine in Sto. Tomas.

named DPWH Asec.

BALANGA CITY—Bataan native Engr. Wilfredo Mallari recently took his oath as Assistant Secretary of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) before Secretary Mark Villar. President Rodrigo Duterte appointed him upon recommendation of Villar. Mallari and his family profusely thanked the DPWH secretary for the trust and confidence. A few months ago, Mallari retired as DPWH Region 4-B or Mimaropa regional director. He had also been the region’s assistant director. He was district engineer of Bataan’s first district for 14 years and of Las Pinas- Muntinlupa in Metro Manila for three years. Mallari rose from the ranks, starting as part-time civil engineering aide in 1975 while studying at the Adamson University in Manila. Butch Gunio

Brexit: Facing the unknown

8 prominent HK democracy activists charged under new

“I

T’S AN absolute mess,” said Terry Goodwin, whose haulage company is one of many British businesses racing against time to prepare for Brexit.

Goodwin feels bitter about all the work needed to prepare for the “D-day” when Britain leaves the EU single market, as his company, Conference Haul International, is only just beginning to recover from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. At its headquarters in Chobham, southwest of London, rows of yellow HGVs (heavy goods vehicles) are standing idle -- a visible sign of the economic slowdown due to the pandemic and of the uncertain future for companies on both sides of the Channel. “I feel sick in the stomach,” said Goodwin, who is managing director of the firm, which specialises in transporting conference equipment and usually has lorries criss-crossing Europe. Two weeks before the end of the Brexit transition period, in which EU rules still apply while both sides thrash out terms of their new relationship, the company has an “overload of problems”, he told AFP. “In the meantime we’re trying to prepare for Brexit, what paperwork we will need to go to Europe.” One thing is sure: hauliers know that whatever the result of negotiations on post-Brexit relations, they will face a lot of red tape. The situation has encouraged companies to stockpile on both sides of the border, particularly those involved in industrial and food production. Inevitably this caused long tailbacks in the area around the Channel port of Dover, with lorries crawling along at walking pace for miles (kilometres). Knowing the situation could get worse on January 1, the government is building huge lorry parks in southeast England, and will even introduce an access permit for heavy goods vehicles wanting to enter Kent, where Dover is located. “Deal or not, a customs border that functions effectively for road freight is IMPOSSIBLE to deliver by 1.1.21. UK processes way behind, EU businesses nowhere near ready too”, Duncan Buchanan, policy director of the Road Haulage Association, warned on Twitter at the weekend. AFP

Humanitarian convoys reach Tigray region HUMANITARIAN convoys have begun to reach Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, a United Nations spokesman said Wednesday, after the area was cut off in early November by a government military offensive. Fighting has raged since Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed launched military operations targeting Tigray’s ruling party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front. “Our WFP (World Food Programme) colleagues did manage to get a convoy in yesterday. Eighteen trucks delivered 570 metric tonnes of food,” said UN

IN BRIEF Super cyclone Yasa slams into Fiji; triggers floods SUPER cyclone Yasa slammed into Fiji’s secondlargest island Thursday, tearing roofs off buildings as it triggered flash floods and landslides in the Pacific island nation. After days of dire warnings about widespread destruction, Fiji’s Met service said the top-of-thescale Category Five storm made landfall on Vanua Levu late Thursday packing winds gusts of up to 345 kilometres an hour (210 miles an hour). It said the cyclone, one of the most powerful ever recorded in the South Pacific, would be accompanied by monster waves exceeding 10 metres (33 feet). Yasa, which is expected to move out to sea early Friday, landed in the sparsely populated Bau province. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties but social media posts showed flooded villages and corrugated sheeting blown off homes. But Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama earlier warned the storm was so big that its impact was likely to be felt across the entire country. He feared destruction from Yasa would be worse than a cyclone four years ago that killed dozens. AFP

Twitter to crack down on false posts on virus TWITTER said on Wednesday that it would crack down on false posts about Covid-19 vaccines beginning next week, following in the footsteps of Facebook and YouTube. The social media platform already targets posts containing false information on how the virus spreads and the efficacy of public health measures such as mask-wearing. “We will prioritize the removal of the most harmful misleading information, and... begin to label tweets that contain potentially misleading information about the vaccines,” Twitter said in a statement. “We are focused on mitigating misleading information that presents the biggest potential harm to people’s health and wellbeing.” The policy will include action against claims that the vaccine is used to intentionally cause harm or control people. Vaccination campaigns have started in several countries, including Britain, the United States and Canada, and are about to start in the European Union after the green light from the regulator for the vaccine developed by Pfizer-BioNTech. YouTube and Facebook have previously announced strict policies to censor vaccine misinformation and efforts to disrupt vaccination campaigns. AFP

spokesman Stephane Dujarric. The UN had this week expressed frustration at lack of access for humanitarian aid. The convoys headed for the Adi Harush and Mai Ayni camps, which mainly host refugees from Eritrea, carrying supplies that would feed 35,000 refugees for a month. “The supplies are going to be distributed in coming days. And other convoys are heading to other camps,” Dujarric said. “We are still looking for that unhin-

Iran nuclear deal parties try to defuse tension THE remaining parties to the 2015 Iran nuclear accord on Wednesday discussed ways to shore up a deal under mounting pressure from Iranian breaches, US sanctions and uncertainty before President-elect Joe Biden takes office in Washington next month. Representatives of China, France, Russia, Iran, Germany and Britain held two hours of virtual talks that one diplomat said involved urging Iran to stick to the deal and give space to diplomacy. Biden, who takes office January 20, has signalled Washington would rejoin the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that was abandoned by the administration of outgoing President Donald Trump. Senior EU foreign affairs official Helga Schmid issued a brief statement following the talks she chaired. “Participants discussed... how to ensure the full and effective implementation of the agreement by all sides in light of existing challenges,” it said. While she did not say what those challenges were, the deal has unravelled steadily since Trump withdrew from it in 2018 and went on to impose crippling economic sanctions on Iran. Tehran has retaliated by progressively abandoning limits on its nuclear activity laid down in the deal, most recently planning to install advanced centrifuges at Iran’s main nuclear enrichment plant in Natanz. Last week France, Germany and Britain—collectively known as the “E3”—condemned the plan as “deeply worrying”. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi repeated to the meeting Iran’s position that it was not fair to expect full compliance from Tehran while it had not received the economic benefits of the deal. “Iran cannot pay the full price of implementing the JCPOA and others’ illegal actions and the other (parties) must also pay for protecting the JCPOA,” he said in a statement on the ministry’s website. Meanwhile the assassination last month of prominent Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh has heightened tensions in the region, with Iran blaming the killing on Israel. AFP Manila

SPEC. PRO. CASE NO. R-QZN-19-14018-SP

LOCAL CIVIL REGISTRAR OF QUEZON CITY; THE CIVIL REGISTRAR GENERAL; NEMESIO R. VILLANUEVA, JR. AND JOAN SOLDEVILLA HAMMOND (MARIE JOAN C. NAZARIO), Respondents. x---------------------------------------------------x

EIGHT prominent Hong Kong democracy activists were charged Thursday with taking part in an “illegal assembly” the day after Beijing imposed its broad security law, bolstering an already sweeping crackdown on dissent. Those charged included veteran activist “Long Hair” Leung Kwok-hung, the former chief of Hong Kong’s Democratic Party Wu Chi-wai, ex-legislator Eddie Chu and Figo Chan, the organiser of an annual July 1 rally marking the British handover of the city to China in 1997. Both Chan and Leung chanted slogans inside the court after the charges were read out, an AFP reporter said. Chan shouted “Release all political prisoners” while Leung chanted “Peaceful assembly is not a crime. Shame on political persecution.” The group, who were later bailed and ordered to surrender their passports, have been hit with various “unlawful assembly” charges -- namely organising, inciting or taking part in an illegal gathering. The charges stem from protests that broke out on July 1 this year. The date has traditionally witnessed large pro-democracy protests in a city where millions have taken to the streets in recent years. During months of protests that swept the city in 2019, the legislature was stormed on handover day by crowds in an unprecedented challenge to Beijing’s rule. The day before this year’s handover anniversary Beijing enacted its draconian national security law, bypassing the legislature and keeping its contents secret until the moment it was imposed. The law enhanced Beijing’s control over the city, outlawed certain political views and deepened the crackdown against democracy supporters. Tens of thousands defied the law and hit the streets that day in protests that were swiftly broken up by riot police. Police arrested the eight activists earlier this month, accusing them of being key instigators of that rally. Beijing says the law was needed to end the political unrest and restore stability. Critics, including many Western nations, say China has shredded its promise to let Hong Kong retain key liberties and autonomy after the handover.AFP

James, Davis see action as LA Lakers edge Phoenix LOS ANGELES, United States— LeBron James and Anthony Davis eased into the NBA’s pre-season on Wednesday (Thursday Philippine time) as the Los Angeles Lakers scored a 112-107 victory over the Phoenix Suns. James, who barely two months ago led the Lakers to their NBA Finals triumph in Orlando, bagged 11 points with two rebounds and two assists during 15 first half minutes in Phoenix. Davis added 10 points with four rebounds in 18 minutes on court. Both James and Davis were rested for the second half. New Lakers signing Marc Gasol added three points in a 21-minute appearance. Kyle Kuzma led the scoring for the Lakers with 23 points. The coronavirus-interrupted 20192020 campaign—which shut down for four months between March and July —eventually wrapped up in Florida in October. With the new season tipping off on December 22, it means teams will have the shortest off-season in NBA history. Lakers head coach Frank Vogel had opted to rest both James and Davis for the team’s first two pre-season games against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Lakers have been installed as favorites for the upcoming season, strengthening their squad with the addition of Gasol, German point guard Dennis Schroder and center Montrezl Harrell. Meanwhile, Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward has a fracture at the base of his right little finger and will miss at least one pre-season game, the NBA team said. The Hornets said Hayward will be listed as day-to-day, indicating the injury on his shooting hand won’t require surgery. Hayward was hurt in the team’s preseason loss to the Toronto Raptors on Monday. A statement from the club described it as an avulsion fracture—in which a small piece of bone attached to a tendon or ligament is pulled loose. Hayward, who declined a $34.2 million player option with the Boston Celtics last month to become a free agent, was a key acquisition for the Hornets, who signed him to a four-year deal worth a reported $120 million.

Marcial posts dominant unanimous decision win

By Peter Atencio

E

UMIR Marcial started attacking right away and his aggressiveness enabled him to win his first professional boxing match yesterday. The 25-year-old Marcial was dominant as he posted a unanimous decision victory over American boxer Andrew Whitfield. All three judges, Don De Verges, Ron Scott Stevens and Damian Walton scored the bout, 40-36, for Marcial when action ended at the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles (Thursday morning in Manila). The fury of Marcial’s blows started to show when Whitfield’s right eye started to close by the second round. “Unang round pa lang tinamaan ako. Naramdaman ko yung suntok niya kasi mas manipis ang gloves sa pro na 10oz. Sa amateur kasi 12oz ang gamit namin,” said Marcial after the fight. Marcial continued pounding on Whitfield’s eye which was almost completely closed by the third round. “Siguro talagang pinaghandaan niya ako kasi three months ago, alam na niya yung laban. Tsaka siguro matagal ako walang training dahil sa pandemic kaya struggle din ako na makuha yung tamang kondisyon,” said Marcial. This was Marcial’s first win as a professional and gave him a 1-0 record in the middleweight division. Whitfield, who is from Idaho, now has a 3-2 slate. “Matagal ako walang training dahil sa pandemic kaya struggle din ako na makuha yung tamang kondisyon,” said Marcial. With legendary trainer Freddie Roach manning his corner, Marcial started out with a flurry of blows with his left hand as he

connected with straights to Whitfield’s head and mid-section. Whitfield reeled from the succession of blows as Marcial landed 11 clean punches in the first minute of the fight. Marcial’s success in his first outing as a pro boosted his confidence as he prepares for the Tokyo Olympics.

Can ‘prodigal son’ Abueva win PBA BPC award? By Reuel Vidal WHO will win the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup Best Player of the Conference Award? That’s the biggest unanswered question now with Barangay Ginebra already crowned champion and LA Tenorio named the Finals MVP. The BPC award is decided by 40% from average statistical points, 30% press and media votes, 25% players’ votes and 5% Commissioner’s Office. TNT Tropang Giga’s Ray Parks leads the statistical race. And with players likely to vote according to franchise affiliation Parks should be the favorite to win the award. Ginebra’s Stanley Pringle did not even crack the top five in the statistical race. The top five are Parks, Calvin Abueva of Phoenix Super LPG, CJ Perez of Terrafirma Dyip, Matthew Wright also of Phoenix and Roger Pogoy of TNT. However, Ginebra did win the title and

the man who carried the team the entire Abueva is an unlikely pick to win. conference is Pringle. But a victory for him would be the

PBA’s ultimate story of redemption. Suspended for 16 months for acts inimical to the league, the ‘Prodigal Son’ returns in time to not only play well but to win the BPC Award. Abueva was suspended for 16 months and rejoined competition late. But he still managed to place second in statistical points. Without Abueva, Phoenix lost 2 of their first 5 games. But after Abueva joined the team Phoenix would lose just 1 more of their next 6 games to finish in a tie for first place after the elimination round. TNT’s Parks or Ginebra’s Pringle will likely be crowned Best Player of the Conference. But because he made the biggest impact this conference and he had to overcome the most adversity Abueva winning the Best Player of the Conference Award would be the best narrative to conclude this PBA Season.

Sotto to join Gilas Pilipinas during February FIBA window EIGHTEEN-year-old Kai Sotto is setting his sights on being part of the Gilas Pilipinas national men’s basketball team by February. Sotto said this a few days after Team Ignite began practicing to get ready for the National Basketball Association GLeague season next month. “I’m super excited to announce that I’m officially joining Gilas. I’m looking forward, na makasama ko ang former teammates ko,” said the 7’2” Sotto during a break in his practice in Walnut Creek, California. Sotto made his intentions known during a web conference, where FIBA, the International Basketball Federation, and Smart, the Philippines’ leading mobile services provider, announced a new global partnership ahead of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. National team consultant Tab Baldwin said they are studying the possibility of Sotto joining them in the February window of the FIBA World Cup 2023 qualifiers. The third window is set on February next year, as they will face the Koreans twice. The next stage of the qualifiers is slated in Clark, Pampanga. Gilas will take on Korea on Feb. 18 and 22, 2021. To make it to the tournament proper, the Philippine national team needs to win only one of its three games in the window to qualify in the Asia Cup proper next year in August. Sotto is currently in a squad composed of top prospects for future rookie drafts of the NBA. They include Jonathan Kuminga and Jalen Green. Kuminga, 6’8” forward from Congo and among the top 10 rookie draft prospects, had 26 points, making 11 of his 15 shots, along with eight rebounds. Green, a Fil-American guard who is seen as among the hottest recruits in for 2020, added 22 points on 8-of15 shooting along with seven boards. This four-year partnership between Smart and FIBA will run through until December 31, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, Smart is granted exclusivity in the category of telecommunications worldwide. Peter Atencio

UAAP Season 84 will be held 2021 to 2022 ORGANIZERS will skip a season after cancelling the games of the 83rd University Athletic Association of the Philippines. School officials will instead push through with season 84 after season 83 was called off for the second straight time. Executive director Rebo Saguisag said this after the league formally entered into a broadcast partnership agreement with Cignal TV yesterday. “We will have to move on to the next season,” said Saguisag. Strict health and safety protocols, and the continuing threat of the coronavirus pandemic have compelled school officials from staging the 83rd season of the UAAP for the second straight year. Season 84 will commence with its tournaments in the school year 2021-2022.

Saguisag said the decision of the board will affect the eligibility of student-athletes and they will tackle this issue soon. The last time the UAAP had a series of cancellations was in 1941, following the outbreak of World War II. There were no activities for the next five years, and then competitions resumed in 1946. The league’s new broadcast partner Cignal TV signed up with the UAAP a pact for the next five years with president and CEO Robert P. Galang and their chairman Manny Pangilinan. Saguisag represented the UAAP board with league president Emmanuel Calanog of current host de La Salle University. Under such a collaboration, selected events of the UAAP will be aired live on One Sports channel and its other digital assets.

In a statement, UAAP officials said this will ensure “an engaging and expansive coverage across different multimedia platforms.” Its affiliate network, TV5, with its experience in sports production, is expected provide the UAAP with a strong foundation in its efforts to promote collegiate sports in the country. The partnership will run until 2026. Also at the contract signing were Philippine Olympic Committee first vice president, and Smart Communications, Inc. and Chief Revenue Officer, PLDT Group, Alfredo S. Panlilio, UAAP Board Of Trustees Chairman Brother Raymundo Suplido, FSC, UAAP President Emmanuel Calanog, UAAP Vice President Fr.

Ayala board names Fernando Zobel as new chief executive By Jenniffer B. Austria CONGLOMERATE Ayala Corp. on Thursday announced a leadership transition within the group that will enable Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala to focus as chairman of the group and Fernando Zobel de Ayala to assume the positions of president and chief executive. Ayala Corp. said in a disclosure to the stock exchange its board of directors unanimously approved the company’s CEO succession plan where Fernando, the president and chief operating officer, would become president and chief executive effective April 23, 2021. Jaime Augusto and Fernando Zobel de Ayala will retain current positions, as chairman or vice-chairman, in the various subsidiary boards of the Ayala group of companies. “At Ayala, it is our leaders’ responsibility to nurture talent and plan paths of succession. In this regard, I see myself as no different from our leaders past and present,” said Jaime Augusto. “Fernando and I are very fortunate to work with a deep leadership bench; and we are confident that planned leadership transitions such as this are critical ingredients for sustainable success. Moreover, we have the opportunity, with this move of decoupling the Chairman and CEO roles, to reflect an evolving global best practice in Environment, Social and Corporate Governance,” he said. Jaime Augusto said his brother Fernando has successfully provided leadership across a variety of the Ayala group companies for more than two decades, and he is eminently suited to continue providing executive momentum in his new role as president and CEO of the conglomerate. “Both Fernando and I have worked as a leadership team for many years now, and we intend to continue charting Ayala’s path forward in tandem,” Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala said. Fernando Zobel said welcomed his appointment as group chief executive. “It is an honor to continue leading this company with an outstanding and trusted team on our side. Together, we have worked hard to build on the many successes of those who came before us; and are committed to continuing to improve lives and create value for our next generations of colleagues, their families, our broad ecosystem of stakeholders and our country,” he said.

HE Department of Transportation on Thursday said it is still open to the proposal of Megawide Construction Corp. and foreign partner GMR Infrastructure Limited to develop and rehabilitate the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, although San Miguel Corp. submitted a new proposal for the project.

Ed Monreal, general manager of Manila International Airport Authority, told a Senate hearing San Miguel and Philippine Airport Ground Support Solutions Inc. submitted separate offers to develop and rehabilitate NAIA. Monreal, however, said “no talks” were ongoing with San Miguel and PAGSS. “Will still awaiting the letter from Megawide, the [MIAA] Board needs to convene and then we will see how the board will decide,” Monreal said. Transport Secretary Arthur Tugade said in the same hearing his agency was still open to the proposal of Megawide-GMR to upgrade NAIA.

Megawide-GMR earlier said it would immediately appeal the decision of the government to strip their original proponent status on the project. Megawide and GMR Infrastructure first submitted a proposal for the rehabilitation of NAIA in 2018. Under the updated proposal submitted in November this year, the consortium plans to spend P109 billion under a 25year concession period. The company will construct the project in three phases such as the improvement of airside and terminals and the connection via bus rapid transit. They will also build a new terminal, additional taxi lanes and an elevated railway. NAIA Consortium earlier informed the government that they would no longer pursue the P102-billion NAIA rehabilitation project because they were not confident about financing the project. NAIA Consortium members include Aboitiz InfraCapital Inc., AC Infrastructure Holdings Corp., Alliance Global Group Inc., Asia’s Emerging Dragon Corp., Filinvest Development Corp. and JG Summit Holdings Inc. San Miguel already awarded a $1.73-billion contract to the Philippine unit of Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. to undertake land development of Manila International Airport project in Bulacan province. “Given this, the construction of the Bulacan airport is set to take off in the first quarter of 2021,” SMC said in a statement earlier.

ABOITIZ FOUNDATION HELP. Volunteers unload galvanized iron sheets donated by Aboitiz Foundation to help affected families in Albay rebuild their homes. Aboitiz Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of the Aboitiz Group, along with Pilmico Foods Corp. and AP Renewables Inc., turned over several construction materials to the local government of Albay province to help families heavily affected by Typhoons Rolly and Ulysses. The donation included 3,315 galvanized iron sheets, 600 kilograms of umbrella nails and 445 pouches of elastomeric sealants for distribution to 287 severely affected families-beneficiaries in the five local government units.

World Bank approves $900-m loan for two PH recovery projects THE World Bank said Wednesday it approved two loans amounting to $900 million (about P43.2 billion) to support the Philippines’ recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, boost competitiveness and resilience against shocks and natural disasters. The first is a $600-million loan (roughly P28.8 billion) for the Promoting Competitiveness and Enhancing Resilience to Natural Disasters Development Policy project, supporting transformational reforms to hasten the adoption of digital technologies, promote greater competition and reduce the costs of doing business to revive economic activities and jobs in the country. The bank said these would help small and medium enterprises bounce back from the pandemic, help citizens cope with social distancing measures

and other health protocols and improve the delivery of social assistance to the most disadvantaged groups in society. It said policy actions would be critical to a smooth and inclusive recovery and include reforms aimed at promoting competition and digital infrastructure expansion in the telecommunications sector, shifting to digital transactions for customs procedures to reduce trade costs, indemnity insurance to protect public assets (schools, hospitals) from natural disasters and implementing the National ID program for financial inclusion and social transfer program delivery. “Reforms to improve digital infrastructure and speed up adoption of digital technologies will not only help the country’s efforts to recover from

the impacts of the pandemic but will also boost its export competitiveness that is vital for creating more and better jobs in the future,” said Ndiamé Diop, World Bank country director for Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. “The implementation of the national ID system is a fundamental reform that will allow for better targeting of social programs, reducing of transaction costs, and ensuring the protection of vulnerable groups, especially in times of shocks including pandemics and natural disasters,” Diop said. The second project is worth $300 million (P14.4 billion) called Additional Financing for KALAHI-CIDSS National Community Driven Development Project to help address poverty in poor rural communities.

Bangko Sentral retains overnight borrowing rate at record low 2%

TRANSMISSION operator National Grid Corp. of the Philippines said Thursday it energized the P7-billion Toril-Bunawan 230kV transmission line, the final component of its Mindanao 230 kiloVolt backbone project. NGCP said in a statement the Mindanao backbone project would stabilize power transmission and secure the reliability of services in the entire Mindanao. The Mindanao backbone, one of NGCP’s critical projects, will connect bulk generation from the northern and southern parts of Mindanao and ensure stable and continuous power from Lanao del Norte, passing through Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon, to Davao del Sur and Davao Occidental. Among the generating facilities which will connect to the line are the power plants of GNPower Kauswagan, Therma South Inc. and San Miguel Consolidated Power Corp. with a total combined capacity of 1,440 megawatts. The project involves the construction of the Matanao-Toril 230kV and Toril-Bunawan 230kV transmission lines, the upgrade of the Baloi-Villanueva-Maramag-Bunawan line from 138kV to 230kV and the upgrade of its substations in Malita, Matanao, Toril, Bunawan, Balo-i, Villanueva, and Maramag. Energization of the project components started with the power transformer in Villanueva Substation and Maramag-Villanueva 230kV Line 2 in September 2019 while the Baloi-Villanueva Lines 1 and 2 were energized in September and October of the same year. Transformers in Bunawan Substation and the Maramag-Bunawan 230kV lines were energized in October last year.

THE Monetary Board, the policy-making body of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, maintained the overnight borrowing rate at a record-low 2 percent on Thursday, the board’s last policy meeting for the year. BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno, who is also the board chairman, said in an online briefing the interest rates on the overnight deposit and lending facilities were also kept at 1.5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. “The Monetary Board’s decision was based on its assessment that the inflation environment remains benign. The latest baseline forecasts have risen slightly due to the sharp increase in global crude oil prices and the higherthan-expected food inflation in November,” Diokno said. “However, since the rise in food prices is transitory, it is expected that the future inflation path will remain firmly within the government’s 2 to 4 percent target over the policy horizon,” he said. He said the balance of risks to the inflation outlook also leaned toward the downside from 2020 to 2022 because of potential disruptions to domestic and global economic activity amid the pandemic. He said inflation expectations remained broadly consistent with the inflation target. “The Monetary Board noted that the resurgence of COVID-19 cases globally has tempered economic activity with the re-imposition of preventive measures in recent weeks. However, optimism over the delivery of vaccines has lifted market confidence, supporting improved prospects for global growth,” Diokno said. He said that on the domestic front, the board observed early indications of improved mobility and sentiment. He said while recent natural calamities could pose strong headwinds to growth, the further easing of quarantine measures should help facilitate the recovery of the economy in the coming months.

MRC to acquire technology firm

MRC Allied Inc. said Thursday it signed an agreement with 5G Security Inc. embodying the initial and preparatory agreement to acquire Kerberus Corp., a cybersecurity solutions provider. “The memorandum of agreement is a preparatory and initial agreement between the parties on the acquisition by MRC of a supermajority ownership and control of Kerberus Corp. by which once conditions are met, MRC Allied Inc shall acquire up to 250,000,000 shares in Kerberus or not less than 75 percent ownership stake in Kerberus,” MRC said in a disclosure to the stock exchange. The company said the plan to acquire the majority and control of Kerberus stemmed from the shifting of MRC to a holding company. “The acquisition of Kerberus will solidify the entry of MRC into the holding industry.

New Zealand bounced back with record 14% growth in Q3 WELLINGTON, New Zealand—New Zealand roared back from a coronavirus-induced recession with record economic growth of 14.0 percent in the July-September quarter, official data showed Thursday. The strong figures followed an 11.0-percent decline in the previous quarter—when New Zealand was in a COVID-19 lockdown. Finance Minister Grant Robertson said the recovery was a pay-off for New Zealand’s success in containing the virus, with only 25 deaths among a population of five million. “The economic bounce back is a result of our decision to go hard and early during the COVID-19 pandemic,” he said. “We supported more than 1.8 million workers through the Wage Subsidy Scheme and invested billions of dollars into infrastructure, training and creating jobs.” Consumer spending and construction drove growth after a period of enforced hibernation during lockdown. Statistics New Zealand said the retail, accommodation and restaurants sectors surged 42.8 percent as Kiwis enjoyed a near-normal domestic existence, while construction rose 52.4 percent. “This resulted in the strongest quarterly growth in GDP on record in New Zealand,” SNZ senior manager Paul Pascoe said. Despite the stellar quarterly performance, the data showed New Zealand’s economy shrank 2.2 percent year on year. “Even though activity across the country largely returned to pre-COVID-19 levels, we haven’t recouped all the activity or production lost as a result of the lockdown,” Pascoe said. New Zealand has been widely praised for its COVID-19 response, which involved a strict lockdown to suppress community transmission, followed by extensive testing and contract tracing to deal with any subsequent outbreaks.

British haulers to face red tape as Brexit looms CHOBHAM, United Kingdom— “It’s an absolute mess,” said Terry Goodwin, whose haulage company is one of many British businesses racing against time to prepare for Brexit. Goodwin feels bitter about all the work needed to prepare for the “Dday” when Britain leaves the EU single market, as his company, Conference Haul International, is only just beginning to recover from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. At its headquarters in Chobham, southwest of London, rows of yellow HGVs (heavy goods vehicles) are standing idle—a visible sign of the economic slowdown due to the pandemic and of the uncertain future for companies on both sides of the Channel. “I feel sick in the stomach,” said Goodwin, who is managing director of the firm, which specializes in transporting conference equipment and usually has lorries criss-crossing Europe. Two weeks before the end of the Brexit transition period, in which EU rules still apply while both sides thrash out terms of their new relationship, the company has an “overload of problems,” he told AFP. “In the meantime we’re trying to prepare for Brexit, what paperwork we will need to go to Europe.” One thing is sure: haulers know that whatever the result of negotiations on post-Brexit relations, they will face a lot of red tape. The situation has encouraged companies to stockpile on both sides of the border, particularly those involved in industrial and food production. Inevitably this caused long tailbacks in the area around the Channel port of Dover, with lorries crawling along at walking pace for miles (kilometers). Knowing the situation could get worse on January 1, the government is building huge lorry parks in southeast England, and will even introduce an access permit for heavy goods vehicles wanting to enter Kent, where Dover is located.

Stock market extends rally; URC, SM Investments gain

T

HE stock market extended its rally Thursday as investors kept an eye on US stimulus progress and the rollout of vaccines.

The Philippine Stock Exchange Index advanced 71.97 points, or 1 percent, to 7,299.70 on a value turnover of P9.3 billion. Gainers beat losers, 133 to 90, with 47 issues unchanged. SM Investments Corp. of the Sy Group rose 2.4 percent to P1,075, while Universal Robina Corp., the biggest snack food maker, climbed 2.9 percent P158.50 Metro Pacific Investments Corp., which is into toll roads, water and electricity distribution, hospitals and infrastructure, added 2.6 percent to P4.40, but PLDT Inc., the largest telecommunications firm, fell 2.2 percent to P1,330. The rest of Asian markets saw broad gains Thursday, while the pound held

around 19-month highs on Brexit optimism, though surging infections and new lockdowns tempered gains. Lawmakers on both sides said they were hopeful of passing a much-needed rescue package for the troubled US economy as they haggled over details of a bipartisan proposal that appeared to have broken months of deadlock. With the two most contentious items removed from the plan, which is said to amount to around $900 billion, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said leaders “made major headway toward hammering out a targeted pandemic relief package that would be able to pass both chambers with bipartisan majorities”. He added they had “agreed that we will not leave town until we’ve made law,” while top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer said: “It’s not a done deal yet, but we are very close.” OANDA analyst Craig Erlam said that there was chatter about a possible

vote on Capitol Hill at the weekend. Wall Street ended broadly higher with the Nasdaq chalking up another record, and Asia mostly extended the gains but hopes for a new stimulus were weighed by the imposition of strict containment measures around the world as coronavirus infections and deaths spike. After a slow start, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai were all well up, while Sydney put on more than one percent and Mumbai also enjoyed strong gains. Wellington rallied on data showing New Zealand’s economy grew more than expected in the third quarter, while Bangkok was also up. But there were losses in Seoul, Taipei, Singapore and Jakarta. As the stimulus talks continued, the Federal Reserve held its final policy meeting of the year at which it gave an upbeat assessment of the outlook for the world’s top economy next year and pledged to maintain its huge bond-buying, monetary-easing program until it is back on an even keel.

French don’t longer need to fill out forms justifying their reason for leaving home but they are, however, subject to a new curfew as the country battles to avoid a third wave of coronavirus infections that could require an economically devastating third national lockdown. The curfew will be waived for Christmas Eve in order to allow families to travel to celebrate together but it will be kept in place for New Year’s Eve. AFP

United States accuses Switzerland, Hanoi of manipulating currency THE US Treasury on Wednesday accused Switzerland and Vietnam of manipulating their currencies, partly to gain a trade advantage over American exports. In the semi-annual foreign exchange report, Treasury found the two countries were intervening in currency markets to affect balance of payments, and in the case of Vietnam, also aiming at “gaining unfair competitive advantage in international trade.” US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin called the decision “a strong step ... to safeguard economic growth and opportunity for American workers and businesses.” China remains on Treasury’s “Monitoring List,” along with Japan, Korea, Germany and others. Treasury added

three countries to the list: India, Taiwan and Thailand. President Donald Trump has repeatedly railed against countries that have trade surpluses with the United States, accusing many of them of using a weaker currency to sell their goods more cheaply at the expense of US producers. He primarily targeted Beijing for criticism, but also Berlin, even though Germany uses the common euro currency. Treasury removed China from the list of currency manipulators in January, just before Washington and Beijing signed a “phase one” trade agreement to partially resolve a destructive, monthslong trade war. But the report called on China to “improve transparency” of its exchange rate

management, in particular intervention in currency markets. The findings in the report are largely symbolic and do not entail sanctions. Instead it triggers “enhanced bilateral engagement” with each country to urge “development of a plan ... to address the underlying causes of currency undervaluation and external imbalances.” Treasury reviewed 20 major US trading partners with bilateral goods trade with the United States of at least $40 billion annually. The criteria are a large trade surplus with the United States, a significant current account surplus, and evidence of “persistent, one-sided intervention” in foreign exchange markets. Switzerland and Vietnam were found to meet all three criteria, the report said.

The Swiss National Bank immediately rejected the charge it was manipulating its currency and said authorities were in contact with their US counterparts “to explain the economic situation and monetary policy of our country.” Treasury said officials consulted with the IMF in preparing the report, and cited IMF analysis of currency values throughout. On Switzerland, the report noted that “IMF staff found the franc to be undervalued by about 3.5 percent on a real effective basis.” The SNB stressed that its interventions on foreign exchange markets were in no way aimed at affecting the balance of payments, nor to gain unfair competitive advantage for the Swiss economy.

Strong virus response helps Vietnam’s economy weather pandemic By Alice Philipson and Tran Thi Minh Ha HANOI, Vietnam—A strong response to the coronavirus pandemic, surging exports and healthy public spending have helped Vietnam buck a global recession in 2020 and fast-track its recovery, with analysts predicting it will likely enjoy one of the highest growth rates in the world. But the pain is not over for some sectors with containment measures and border disruptions hammering the country’s tourism industry, and leaving the oncebooming aviation sector limping. While many countries have suffered from high infection and mortality rates, Vietnam has recorded fewer than 1,500 coronavirus cases and 35 deaths thanks to mass quarantines, expansive contacttracing and strict controls on movement, allowing factories to largely stay open and people to swiftly get back to work. “The serious lockdown lasted for less than three months, so domestic activity was quickly back to normal by June,” Nguyen Xuan Thanh, a public policy lecturer at Fulbright University Vietnam, told AFP. While many Western countries were imploring citizens to stay home mid-year, Vietnamese people were able to flock to scenic beaches as the government tried to give the domestic tourism industry a much-needed shot in the arm. There were grave fears for Vietnam’s export-reliant economy as demand for clothing, footwear and smartphones slumped in some of its biggest markets

This photograph taken on December 2, 2020 shows a cyclo rider waiting for passengers in front of a closed hotel in the old quarters of Hanoi. A strong response to the coronavirus pandemic, a surge in exports and healthy public spending has helped Vietnam buck a global downward economic trend in 2020 and fast track its recovery. AFP

including the European Union, Japan and South Korea. “But it turned out that exports still helped promote growth this year,” Thanh said. “That’s because Vietnam has a very diversified export market— it’s not dependent on any single export destination.” Shipments to China grew more than 15 percent on-year in the first nine months, according to the Vietnam General Customs Administration. Demand for many of the items made

in Vietnam—such as home electronics, office furniture, computers and televisions—soared during the pandemic as people were forced to stay home during lockdowns. That has meant that while it will fall short of its target of 6.8 percent growth this year, the economy is expected to expand 2.4 percent, which the International Monetary Fund said would be among the best in the world. The Fund has forecast a global contraction of 4.4 percent.

‘Tourism has died’ Observers said Vietnam had also benefited from the US-China trade war as companies such as Apple look to shift their supply chains to avoid tariffs. The country’s exports to the United States rose by about a quarter to $54.7 billion in the first nine months of the year. However, the absence of foreign travelers has dealt a severe blow to the tourism sector. The UNESCO-recognized ancient imperial city of Hue—which is popular with foreign visitors—now resembles a ghost town, with Thua Thien Hue province’s tourism department saying 80 percent of hotels were closed while 8,000 people had lost their jobs. “We are suffering heavily from the pandemic,” the deputy head of the provincial tourism department Nguyen Van Phuc told AFP. It is a similarly grim story in Hanoi, where hotel owner Nguyen Dinh Toi said simply that “tourism has died.” “We survived the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) epidemic, the financial storm of 2009-2010... but now the situation is unbelievable,” said Toi, who runs hotels in Hanoi’s old quarter, Halong Bay and Sapa. Still, Vietnam’s economy is less exposed than other tourism-dependent countries in the region such as Thailand, where the IMF predicts the economy to slump by 7.1 percent this year. The government has also helped cushion the economic blow by pouring money into infrastructure projects such as roads and bridges, said Thanh. AFP

Exes Martin and Pops

answer the ‘whys’ in new show

Called eXes & whYs with Pops and Martin, the show aims to revive the concert royalties’ special and indisputable charm and chemistry on television. The show redefines traditional talk shows as it celebrates and incorporates the traditional OPM (Original Pilipino Music) with the modern music of this generation. During the online presser, I learned that the program will tackle meaningful conversations about past and present relationships, experiences, and issues. Thus, I had to ask the same topics referring to their own relationship and when they actually felt that they’re already comfortable working together again.

Martin Nievera and Pops Fernandez host 'Exes and Whys with Pops and Martin,’ a musical talk show which will stream on Cignal TV and Colours.

Gloc-9 and Lirah’s ‘Macho Rap’ SOME matches are just made in heaven, as confirmed by the latest collab of OPM legend Gloc-9 and rising pop artist Lirah, ”Macho Rap.” With the daring vibe of Gloc-9 blending harmoniously with the saccharine sounds of Lirah’s vocals, the song definitely dropped some serious sizzle to the local music scene. The seamless symbiosis of the artists’ musical styles is a delicious reminder of how Mang Tomas blends so effortlessly when pairing with any viand. It was precisely this reason that made it such an easy choice for Gloc-9 to rep the flag of Mang Tomas. “As a creative, I gotta have a full stomach to keep the juices going,” said the artist. “And there is no better fuel for my appetite than having Mang Tomas on any and every meal I eat.” When it comes to viands, combination is everything. The multi-platinum rapper knows the importance of having a “macho ganado sarsa” to make his meals taste that much better. “You gotta have Mang Tomas on your food, it’s almost impossible to eat without it. I have to be quick on my toes when I write my raps, so it helps that Mang Tomas always gets me excited to eat. Kahit nga kanin lang na may Mang Tomas, solve na ako,” the rapper said. Being an icon of Philippine music, Gloc-9 says he needs the most iconic Filipino condiment brand to make every gathering complete. The rapper trusts in the rock-solid reputation of Mang Tomas as an “all around sarsa” that can bring a macho ganado eating experience for any ulam. The macho ganado fest doesn’t end here. An accompanying music video is about to drop, featuring none other than Benjie and Andre Paras, as well as comedian Kat Galang. “Macho Rap” is available for streaming on all digital platforms like Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, and Youtube Music in 240 countries worldwide. Rapper Gloc-9

“It was in 2004,” the former couple replied at the same time almost finishing each other’s sentences. “We were asked to do a reunion [concert], and it was really like an uninviting invite. But we took it upon ourselves because it’s something that we do well together. We may have failed in some areas of our lives but for some reason, the moment that lights

turn on and they give us a microphone and there’s a camera, we just jive so well. So, yes, it was in 2004 when we did a reuniting of some sort by doing a show at the Araneta and then we did a US tour. And it’s something between us that didn’t end.” “It was a very stressful show,” Pops stated alluding to the first show they did after their highly publicized separation in 1996 that led to the court finalizing their annulment in 2000. “You know, we also did a show in Barcelona. That time we were not talking, we did the rehearsal even without talking. And then the minute we went onstage, something magical happened, we talked like we were friends again and nothing happened between us. Imagine, from not talking, nag-usap kame onstage and talked about how we felt. He was crying, I was crying.” Hearing his parents say these revelations, Robin, who also joined Martin and Pops in the virtual press conference, butted in and said, “That’s the reason why it’s really easy to direct them.” “I was there in Barcelona and I saw everything. I knew that they’re going to talk,” Robin started to which Martin asked, “You knew it back then?” “Of course you were so loud,” Robin said in jest and continued, “I am more flexible to what they both want, even the sensitive things. The reunion everyone is raring to see comes to life on Cignal TV and Colours this Saturday and the undisputed “Concert Queen” and “Concert King” will serenade audiences along with prominent celebrities and personalities set to guest on the show such as ZsaZsa Padilla, Vina Morales, Geneva Cruz, KZ Tandingan, TJ Monterde, Jaya, and Matteo Guidicelli.

Tribute show to man behind Wishbus success

A CONCERT dubbed Behind the Wishper will recount the beginnings, challenges, and success of Wish 107.5 and its popular mobile booth Wishbus through classic and memorable OPM songs. The show will take viewers on the musical journey of the man behind it, Kuya Daniel Razon—how his love for music and life experiences led him to conceptualize a radio station that successfully marries traditional and digital platforms to bring the Filipino talent to international shores. The concert, to be streamed live via Wish 107.5’s YouTube channel, will feature OPM A-listers like KZ Tandingan, Morissette, Yeng Constantino, The Juans, Bugoy Drilon, Janine Teñoso, Gerald Santos, and Marco Sison. BMPI talents and Wishcovery alumni The Wishfuls will also take part in the digital event. The show's title references Razon's now-iconic Wish 107.5 whisper. Apart from a night of great music, it will also be a night of charity. On the eve of the concert, the station will also start giving away 107 tablets to deserving recipients. This is the station’s way of giving back after its YouTube channel surpassed the 10-million subscribership milestone in November. During Wish 107.5’s anniversary in August, the station donated 107 tablets to deserving students during its “Notes of Hope” digital concert. Behind the Wishper is happening on Dec. 20 (Sunday 7:00 p.m, Manila time). The concert will be streamed live via the Wish YouTube channel. Follow Wish 107.5’s social media pages for updates.

‘Behind The Wishper’ digital concert set this Sunday evening will pay tribute to broadcast journalist and TV anchor Daniel Razon who’s behind the conceptualization and success of Wish FM radio station and the immensely popular mobile radio booth Wishbus.
