Marcos signs 2024 budget, says it’s battle plan vs. poverty, illiteracy

By Charles Dantes, Maricel Cruz and Macon Ramos-Araneta PRESIDENT Marcos on Wednesday signed the P5.768 trillion national budget for 2024, which he described as a “battle plan in fighting poverty and combatting illiteracy.”

“Although it is teeming with numbers, this budget is more than a spreadsheet of amounts or a ledger of projects,” Mr. Marcos said during the signing ceremony at the Palace.

“Rather, it details our battle plan in fighting poverty and combatting illiteracy, in producing food and ending hunger, in protecting our homes, in securing our border, treating the sick, keeping our people healthy, creating jobs, and funding livelihood.”

“In effect, we are signing the renewal of our annual social contract with taxpayers: that what they have paid faithfully will be rebated to them in full,” he added.

The 2024 national outlay, equivalent to 21.7 percent of the gross domestic product, is 9.5 percent higher than this year’s P5.268 trillion budget.

President Marcos said the approved budget would be utilized to transform Next page

SMNI to appeal ban on 2 shows S

ONSHINE Media Network International (SMNI) will appeal the 14-day suspension order slapped on its two shows, including one hosted by former President Rodrigo Duterte, citing the issue of press freedom.

However, the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines asserted that press freedom cannot be used to justify hate speech and disinformation.

The “Gikan Sa Masa, Para Sa Masa” program was halted after Duterte threatened ACT Teachers party-list Rep. France Castro in the show’s October and November episodes.

Meanwhile, the suspension of the show “Laban Kasama ang Bayan” came after anchors Jeffrey Celiz and Lorraine Badoy-Partosa falsely claimed Speaker Martin Romualdez spent P1.8 billion in travel expenses in a year.

“While we are wary of government censorship, we note that the network was given due process on its potential violations, due

process that was not given to the individuals and organizations that Badoy-Partosa and Celiz brazenly defamed on their show,” the NUJP said in a statement.

“Freedom of expression and the freedom of the press are not blanket justifications for hate speech, vilification and threats,” the group added.

SMNI Legal Officer Mark Tolentino told ABS-CBN News they will file an appeal within the week.

“Before Christmas, we will file our appeal / motion for reconsideration....It is only a preventive suspension. It is not a penalty,” he said.

“Main argument is due process, freedom of press. Decision of MTRCB might have conflict with the decision of the prosecutor’s office of Quezon City. Preventive suspension is not necessary pending investigation. There is no urgency,” Tolentino added.

The MTRCB said it issued a warning to SMNI that similar incidents will be dealt with more sternly. The television network committed to pre-record and review episodes before airing.

Castro on Tuesday welcomed the suspension order, saying it was “long overdue.” Maricel V. Cruz

Speaker hands P630k in assistance from gov’t to Gaza hostage Pacheco SPEAKER Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez on Wednesday facilitated the release of P630,000 worth of assistance package from his office and the Marcos administration to Filipino caregiver Jimmy Pacheco, who was taken hostage and subsequently released by Palestinian Islamist militant group Hamas.

Pacheco, 33, was taken by Hamas in Kibbutz Nir Oz in southern Israel to Gaza during the group’s attack on Oct. 7 against Israel and was released on Nov. 24 through efforts of the govern-

ment and other organizations.

“We know that this aid package cannot undo the physical and psychological scars that Jimmy Pacheco suffered while being held hostage in Gaza. We cannot begin to imagine what he has witnessed and what pain he has experienced,” Romualdez said after meeting Pacheco.

“But we do hope that this government assistance will send a message to Jimmy, his family and to all Filipinos that the government is there for you and that it will do everything to show that it cares for you, especially during times of great need,” he added.

In its advisory, the weather bureau said the low-pressure area (LPA) – which used to be tropical storm “Kabayan” -- and the shear line may bring a significant amount of rain in the next three days.

The remnant LPA of Kabayan was seen to exit the Philippine area of responsibility last night, located 185 km south of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.

Scattered rains will be experienced in Zamboanga Peninsula, Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Western Visayas, and MIMAROPA, especially Palawan.

The shear line will bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Zamboanga Peninsula, the Bangsamoro region, Western Visayas, Mimaropa, Calabarzon, Bicol Region, and Aurora, PAGASA said in another advisory.

as well as Metro Manila, Rizal, Palawan, Negros Occidental, Basilan, and Maguindanao are among the areas experiencing dry spells, PAGASA said.

Abra, Batanes, Bohol, Bukidnon, and Misamis Oriental, on the other hand, are experiencing dry conditions.

The state weather bureau said the El Niño phenomenon is expected to persist next year. Climate models suggest it will likely peak around March or April.

PAGASA’s chief of climate monitoring and prediction section Ana Solis said that in the last four weeks, temperatures have continued to rise in the Tropical Pacific.

PAGASA forecast showed the western portion of Luzon will bear the brunt of below-normal rainfall.

If coupled with long periods of drought, this could impact soil moisture.

“This will have a big implication because even if the rainy season starts, if we are coming from a long dry spell, it would take time to replenish the moisture,” Solis said.

The PUVMP lays down the process for the mandatory consolidation of individual operators under transport cooperatives and corporations and the issuance of new franchises in favor of these entities as part of the PUVMP. These orders would pave the way for the eventual phaseout of jeepneys starting Jan. 1, 2024, the petitioners said.

Piston was represented by its chairman, Mody Floranda. He was joined by petitioners Bayan Muna party-list coordinator Gaylord Despuez, PARA-Advocates for Inclusive Transport member Edrich Samonte, No to PUV Phaseout Coalition of Panay member Elmer Forro, and Kmyut spokesperson Ma. Flora Cerna.

The petitioners argued that the orders and circulars violate the constitutional provisions that guarantee freedom of association, right to due process, right to equal protection of laws, right against unreasonable seizures and the right to gainful employment and livelihood.

They added that the orders are an invalid exercise of police power and a usurpation of legislative prerogative.

“In the end, every line in this budget when translated to projects -- from roads, to schools, to hospitals -- will transform our country for the better and the lives of our people for the better,” he said.

Speaker Martin Romualdez, for his part, said the House of Representatives is committed to continue funding the new P60-billion Ayuda sa Kapos ang Kita (AKAP) program in 2025.

AKAP is part of almost P500 billion “ayuda” for at least 12 million poor and low-income families in 2024.

“We intend this to be a continuing program to help our people. Thus, it is critical that we should make it work in its first year of implementation,” Romualdez said.

“We just have to make sure that the beneficiaries are qualified under government criteria and the money reaches them on time and with sufficient safeguards in place,” he added.

Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert Ace Barbers supported Romualdez’s push, saying passing laws to circumvent prohibitions in the Charter are admissions to the flaws in the 1987 Constitution and its failure to adapt to the changing needs of the country.

Barbers, a member of the House committee on constitutional amendments, said that a revised Constitution “will be a better tool for our President, now and in the future, to sell the country to investors and navigate the global business network for our people.”

He added: “Instead of going out to work, they will be staying to man and run businesses both foreign and local that may choose the country if the right climate prevails.”

“Passing laws in the hope of curing the flaws of the Charter is an admission of the need to amend it. Even if Congress passes thousands of eco-

nomic laws in contravention of the Constitution, nothing will change.

They will be questioned before the Supreme Court. It is a waste of valuable resources. It is an admission that the Charter has failed us economically, politically, and socially. What are we waiting for, to be at the bottom of the ladder?” Barbers asked.

“In ASEAN alone, from the leader, we are now number eight out of 10 nations. Vietnam and Cambodia have overtaken us. How much more in Asia and the world? We have to wake up from our deep slumber and constant denial of the need to change. It is time for a reality check. The time is now,” Barbers said.

In the political provisions, Barbers said the admissions of some of the framers of the Constitution that they had no concrete basis for putting the three-year term caps on the House members is in itself a reason to consider a Charter review. “Why the distinction and discrimination?

chief vows PBBM’s trust-approval rating gains LTO to open more slightly, Sara suffers minor decline plantilla posts P RESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. gained a slight recovery in his approval and trust rating as 2023 draws to a close, an independent survey showed.

In contrast, Vice President Sara Duterte suffered a minor decline which the pollster PAHAYAG said was “particularly pronounced” in her own bailiwick—Mindanao.

PAHAYAG’s “end of the year” research, conducted from Nov. 29 to Dec. 4, indicated that Mr. Marcos’ approval rating rose from 55 percent during the third quarter of the year to 58 percent this month.

On the other hand, Duterte suffered a three percentage point setback, or from 62 percent to 59 percent during the same survey period.

The President’s recovery was “notably driven by increased support in North-Central Luzon (NCL) from 56 percent to 62 percent, special land (SL) from 49 percent to 55 percent, and Visayas from 52 percent to 57 percent,” the study revealed..

It added that Mr. Marcos’ resurgence was “also buoyed by middle-nncome voters (51 percent to 60 percent), Catholics (51 percent to 57 percent), and the self-employed group (54 percent to 62 percent).”

In Mindanao, Duterte’s rating dropped from 84 percent to 76 percent.

“Contributing to the decline are various demographic groups, including the age groups 40-49 years old (68 percent to 63 percent), 50-59 y years old (56 percent to 51 percent), senior citizens (57 percent to 49 percent), low income (66 percent to 62 percent), high income (60 percent to 53 percent), private workers (65 percent to 60 percent),

government workers (70 percent to 61% percent, unemployed (54 percent to 50 percent), non-OFW families (62 percent to 56 percent), vocational (70 percent to 58 percent), and college (62 percent to 59 percent).”

Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri also bounced back from 43 percent during Q3 to 47 percent in Q4, attributed to increased support in special land (SL) from 35 percent to 47 percent.

Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez appeared to encountered a continuing setback as evinced by his rating of 42 percent in Q2, 37 percent in Q3, and 36 percent in Q4.

LRMC conducts test run along Cavite rails

By Darwin G. Amojelar THE Light Rail Manila Corp. on Wednesday announced it has completed the first test run on the tracks of Cavite Extension Phase 1 as part of its commitment that the new rail line is finished by the last quarter of 2024.

The LRMC which operates LRT Line 1 said the first test run aimed to provide a compatibility check and assess the interface between vital infrastructure components such as train pantograph and the Overhead Catenary System, train wheels and rail tracks, and platforms including other viaduct trackside structures.

The start of a series of test runs featured a second generation train set at a running speed of up to 4.5 kilometers per hour (kph) as part of safety measures. The Gen-2 train set is the widest in terms of car body making it the most strategic option to check for initial compatibility with station platforms, walkways, cableways, and other features, the LRMC said.

Further train test runs were scheduled in the coming weeks to include the other train generations of LRT-1 traveling at various speeds and load capacities.

“It was a proud moment for us to see our train running along the extension line of LRT-1 from Redemptorist Station to Dr. Santos Station. As we near the completion of this much-awaited railway project, the general public will begin to see more trains undergoing test runs and trial runs,” said Juan Alfonso, LRMC president and chief executive officer. “ These activities serve as a testament to the dedication and hard work of LRMC team, our contractors, and partners in making the LRT-1 Cavite Extension a reality,” he added.

LAND Transportation Office chief Vigor Mendoza II has committed to open more plantilla positions in the next two years to reward hard working and deserving personnel who have already spent years as contractual employees.

“As early as now, we are planning to open more plantilla positions, positions that would be available for deserving, competent and efficient people who want to serve in the LTO,” Mendoza said.

Lawmaker says Meralco can lower power rates ‘if it decides to do so’ T

By Maricel V. Cruz

HE Manila Electric Company (Meralco) can lower its rates if it only decides to do so, a lawmaker said.

But Meralco has reiterated that its rates undergo a strict review process, ensuring that what the distributor charges is “fair and reasonable,” amid allegations that the power company has been charging high rates.

In a hearing conducted by the House Committee on Legislative Franchises, Rep. Presley De Jesus of the Philippine Rural Electric Cooperative Association Inc. (Philreca) party-list group, noted

that if small electrical cooperatives in the provinces can offer cheap power to its residential customers, why can’t Meralco--purportedly the country’s largest power company--do the same?

The said committee chaired by Parañaque City Rep. Gus Tambunting is investigating allegations that Meralco was engaged in monopolistic and monophonic practices.

what we’re focused on, the energy sector, so in economies of scale, just for comparison, we have electric cooperatives offering residential rates as low as P6.50 per kilowatt hour,” said De Jesus during the House hearing.

He cited some of the cooperatives offering low power rates as Pelco II, Casureco I, Perelco, Surceco I and Neco 1. De Jesus said rates being charged by these cooperatives to consumers range from P6.50 to P8 per kwh.

According to Meralco, it charges P12 per kwh in residential rates to its estimated 7.7 million subscribers as of 2023.

The partylist solon said he sees something unusual in Meralco’s

higher rates which the Energy Regulatory Commission should investigate. He said another concerning report was the possibility of Meralco expanding its franchise area further, even encroaching on localities that are already being served by smaller utilities.

De Jesus said the House should already review the Meralco franchise and its possible split into three for better service and lower rates.

Meralco had denied behaving as a monopoly. Meralco vice president and head of corporate communications Joe Zaldarriaga also stressed that Meralco complies with all government regulations.

Villar bill hopes to deter agricultural smuggling, abusive market practices

By Macon Ramos-Araneta SENATOR Cynthia Villar hopes to deter smuggling and abusive market practices once Senate Bill No. (SBN) 2432 or the Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act is signed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. into law.

These illegal practices, she said, threaten the well-being of agricultural producers and welfare of the consumers, and the economy as a whole.

Villar, chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Food, and Agrarian Reform, said the bill defines the crime of agricultural economic sabotage as any act or activity that disrupts the economy by creating artificial shortage, promoting excessive importation, manipulating prices and supply, evading payment or under-

paying tariffs and customs duties, threatening local production and food security, gaining excessive or exorbitant profits by exploiting situations, creating scarcity, and entering into agreements that defeat fair competition to the prejudice of the public.

The senator, principal author and sponsor of the measure, said the following agricultural and fishery products are covered under the bill: rice, corn, beef and other ruminants, pork, poultry, garlic, onion, carrots, other vegetables, fruits, fish, salt and other aquatic products, in their raw state or which have undergone the simple process of preparation or preservation for the market within the primary and post-harvest stages of the food supply chain, palm oil, palm olein, raw and refined sugar, and tobacco.

perative to uphold theirresponsibilities.

“Let us maintain a professional and conducive working environment even during year-end and holiday celebrations,” he said.

Under CSC Resolution No. 1100039, the consumption of alcoholic beverages such as, but not limited to, malt, wine, and intoxicating liquor in the workplace among government officials and employees during office hours is prohibited.

The mere act of consuming alcoholic beverages in the workplace during office hours as well as reporting for work while under the influence of alcohol shall be considered as an administrative offense, separate and distinct from the offense of Habitual Drunkenness.

Officials and employees caught consuming intoxicating liquor and other alcoholic beverages during office hours, or reporting for work under the influence of alcohol, will be subject to disciplinary action and

may be found guilty of Simple Mi conduct.

Simple Misconduct in this regard is punishable by suspension for one month and one day to six months for the first offense, and dismissal from service for the second offense.

Exceptions to this rule include alcoholic beverage consumption during programs and rituals, such as ceremonial toasts and observance/honoring of local customs and traditions.

Go vows commitment to mental health SENATOR Christopher Go, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography, renewed his commitment to focus on advancing the country’s mental health initiatives.

During the 95th Founding Anniversary of the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) in Mandaluyong City on Dec 18, Go emphasized the need for enhanced mental health services, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the mental well-being of Filipinos.

He highlighted the staggering effects of the pandemic on mental health. He noted the increase in cases of anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions, aggravated by the pandemic’s social and economic fallout.

In today’s world, he cited the need to pay attention not only to physical

health but also to mental well-being. The NCMH serves as a guide and sanctuary for those in need of support and understanding in this matter.

During his visit to NCMH, Go also checked on the operations of the Malasakit Center inside the hospital. As principal author and sponsor of the Malasakit Centers Act, Go stressed that patients and their families can conveniently avail of medical assistance here or in any of the 159 Malasakit Centers operational nationwide.

Go then outlined several legislative measures he has championed to address mental health concerns. These measures aim not only to provide necessary support for those suffering from mental health issues butalso to destigmatize mental health care in the Philippines. Macon Ramos-Araneta

Salceda hails Go as newest gov’t adviser ALBAY Rep. Joey Sarte Salceda welcomed Frederick Go’s recent designation as the inaugural secretary of the newly-created Office of the Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs (SAPIEA).

Salceda, chairperson of the House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means, said Go’s promotion as President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s main man on economic matters bodes well for the country.

Go is the erstwhile Presidential Adviser on Investment and Economic Affairs, a position that he has held since January 2023.

“Secretary Deck Go is one of the most preeminent names in Philippine business, and is a strong partner of the House Committee on Ways and Means,” Salceda said in statement Wednesday.

Go is also currently the president and CEO of Robinsons Land Corp. He is the nephew of the late taipan John Gokongwei.

“Deck and I have been working together on various reforms ever since he was appointed. I enthusiastically welcome his appointment as Special Assistant to the President,” said Salceda.

“His designation as basically the President’s man on all things related to the economy will also entail stronger coordination of our priorities and programs,” the economist-congressman said of Go. “I look forward to continuing our partnership as he takes on a strengthened role in President Marcos’s Cabinet,” added Salceda.

Group urges public to reuse holiday ‘trash’ AS part of its campaign for a “Zero Waste Pasko,” the EcoWaste Coalition is urging the public to reuse, recycle or upcycle wrappers and other gift materials instead of simply tossing them in the bin, or setting them on fire.

“Reusing, recycling or upcycling used wrappers, bags, boxes and accessories will surely extend the useful life of these materials, and cut the volume of ‘holitrash’ that is sullying the season of giving,” said Ochie Tolentino, Zero Waste Campaigner, EcoWaste Coalition.

“By not dumping or burning them, we also avoid pollutants from being formed or scattered into the environment,” she said. “These environmental pollutants contaminate our surroundings, including the air we breathe and the food we eat.”

Depending on what is being burned, the open burning of garbage, for example, can result in smoke and ash containing heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury, persistent organic pollutants like dioxins, greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide, as well as volatile organic compounds and particulate matter.

To protect public health and the environment from garbage and pollution, the country’s environmental laws, particularly the Clean Air Act and the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, have outlawed open dumping and open burning.

Regional maritime security cooperation

The President must initiate CHARTER change can only happen with strong presidential support, along with a well-crafted and properly executed communications plan.

A reader who identifies himself as Kokis Bailes reacted in the same way well-meaning friends have chided me about my charter change advocacy -- that the trapos who profit from the present system will not allow such ‘political’ revisions of the charter.

The Speaker and the President cited there is a need to make the country more “welcoming” to foreign investments, and these may need revision of the 1987 Constitution’s economic provisions.

Yet if we look at the most common complaints of foreign business already here which reverberate across the investment capital-rich nations of the world, these are not about the economic restrictions in the charter.

Amendments to the Public Service Act have been legislated, although questions about its violating constitutional restrictions still pend.

If we need to further open up, about the only issues remaining would be land ownership and the exploitation of natural resources.

But these would also be the most contentious.

Land ownership in the Philippines is a much more emotional issue than it is to people in the Western hemisphere.

The fear that land prices (already higher in the Philippines than Thailand and Indonesia) will further increase with the influx of foreign buying is quite real.

NCR lording it over the allocation of budgetary resources and the Manila-centric policies of government without having to federalize due to economic costs and wealth disparities.

Now a president with a 61 percent mandate, armed with the right reasons for change, should get enough public support for regionalizing the Senate, and a return to the simpler 2-party system which would cut the multi-knotted Gordian confusion of our multi-party flags of convenience, and curtail the proliferation of dynasties.

Would the LGU ‘trapos’ fight the abolition of ‘bokales’ and ‘konsehales?’ Would not a mayor or governor prefer having less ‘baggage’ to carry in campaigns, along with hefty savings on their expenses, minus these multitude of officials?

And wouldn’t the public prefer that their barangay chairs would likewise constitute the local legislatures, pass the budget and ordinances being more attuned to their needs at the barangay level?

Elected municipal mayors as well could be better at crafting legislation, knowing the needs of their respective constituencies.

More like a board of directors crafting policies because they are stakeholders/stockholders in the province.

Here, we merge executive and legislative functions on the local level, and with political maturity evolving, we could then shift to a parliamentary system in the future, as in the French template where presidents are in charge of national security and foreign policy, while a chosen prime minister handles day-to-day management of the economy and other domestic affairs.

With a two-party system, government can absorb remunerating party inspectors at the precinct level, while a shorter list of candidates would also cut massive Comelec expenses, just as the two parties and their candidates save on election costs.

The amount that government spends on remunerating so many elected officials, along with staff and perks under the present system can thus be ploughed back to the taxpayers in the form of better on-the-ground service in health, education, food security and maintaining peace and order.

Am I being too much of a dreamer? Perhaps.

But if an ordinary citizen like me can dream of such major revisions, why not a President who possesses the largest mandate ever?

The biggest problem of this benighted land is its government, a multi-headed hydra that is so costly to maintain yet is service-ineffective.

Simplify the system and reduce the level of political contests every three years into six years with less elective positions is a major, major step into rationalizing the politics of this country and making the public concentrate on economic and social conditions instead of being at the ‘service’ of traditional politicians and family dynasties.

But, as the title of this column states, only IF the President initiates, fully supports, and campaigns for these revisions in the flawed 1987 Constitution that has been in effect for 37 years, longer than the 1973 charter of 13 years and the 34 years when we were under the 1935 Constitution, before martial law was declared.

Boldly expend your huge political capital NOW, Mr. President, on changing the ineffective political system, rather than watch that capital erode as economic headwinds in the next two years become more and more daunting. *** This writer will sign off for the rest of the holiday period, and resume writing on Thursday, Jan 8.

I wish every reader of this esteemed paper all the blessings in this season of grace and well into the coming year.

Boldly expend your huge political capital NOW, Mr. President, on changing the ineffective political system

Foreign control of extractive industries such as mining will be contradicted by environmental groups and even the numerous Church.

Investors shy away from the country because our laws and the corrupt implementors of the laws make running a business more difficult for them than it is in Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand.

And the all-too-often changes in playing rules by both the national government and LGUs. High cost of electric power and other utilities is another major complaint. Add to that traffic and mobility problems for both cargo and worker transport.

They flock to communist Vietnam, where all land is owned by the state, and leases are allowed for 50 years. Even in China, a 50 to 70 year land lease is acceptable to foreign investors.

Still. as stated in last Monday’s column, I submit that it is the political framework in our 1987 charter that needs revision.

This writer advocates a return to the twoparty system under a presidential form of government, and a drastic reduction in the number of elected officials, especially in the local government level.

Taking off from Sen. Padilla’s proposal to have a total 54 senators with four-year terms, I propose instead that we do away with nationally-elected senators and give an equal representation of two senators for each of our 17 regions, for a total 34.

My suggestion addresses in part the cry of the less developed regions about imperial

COA’s vigilance on DepEd’s accountability IN A recent revelation from the Commission on Audit, the Department of Education has come under scrutiny for its failure to remit P4.4 billion in premiums and loan payments to the Government Service Insurance System.

This significant lapse, outlined in the 2022 annual audit report, raises critical questions about financial management within one of the country’s vital government agencies.

Kudos must be given to COA and its Chairman, Gamaliel A. Cordoba, for conducting a thorough and comprehensive audit, bringing to light the non-remittance of GSIS contributions and loan amortizations.

The audit not only identifies the financial discrepancies but also emphasizes the potential consequences for teaching and non-teaching personnel, exposing them to penalties and

limitations in enjoying GSIS privileges and benefits.

Region 6, with an unremitted amount of P2.19 billion, has the highest share of the discrepancy, followed by Region 9 with P580.8 million.

This calls attention to the localized nature of the issue, emphasizing the need for targeted solutions across different regions.

The audit reveals a concerning pattern with several regions accumulating substantial unremitted GSIS dues, including Region 5, Region 4-A, Region 3, National Capital Region, and others.

This inconsistency demands urgent attention to rectify the situation and prevent further financial strain on the affected personnel.

COA rightly points out that timely remit-

F THERE’S one significant outcome of the recently concluded summit in Tokyo between leaders of ASEAN and Japan, it must be the agreement to strengthen maritime security cooperation.

While the summit was geared mainly toward boosting economic ties, it appears there was consensus among the participants that they should address China’s growing regional assertiveness as well.

Building a robust united front based on close maritime security cooperation is vital as Beijing claims almost the entire South China Sea, a vital global trade corridor, on the basis of a fictional ten-dash line that’s sorely lacking in both historical and legal foundation.

Japan is well-placed to assist membernations of the regional in seeing to it that the South China Sea remains open to global trade.

It has begun to beef up its military capability in recent years as soon as it became apparent that China would increasingly try to force its will against other countries like the Philippines also claiming ownership of parts of the South China Sea.

Duty Calls

Japan is also engaged in a territorial despite with Beijing over Senkaku island.

Hence, it has been ramping up defense spending lately despite its post-war pacifist stand not to rearm itself.

—“—

Our security ties with Japan are expected to deepen with negotiations on a Reciprocal Access Agreement

But with the changed geopolitical situation in the Indo-Pacific region, it has decided to boost its own military capability and to enhance security cooperation with other countries in the Asia-Pacific region to protect its own national interest.

Last month, Japan agreed to provide the Philippines with loans amounting to billions of US dollars for new coast guard vessels and a sophisticated radar system.

This, after Chinese Coast Guard vessels harassed our own vessels with water can-

nons and deliberate ramming incidents.

Our security ties with Japan are expected to deepen with negotiations on a Reciprocal Access Agreement that would include provisions for the deployment of troops on each other’s soil. This is a positive development that bears watching.

It’s not just with the Philippines that Japan is forging security arrangements.

Reports indicate that Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has discussed with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim the possibility of providing Malaysia with rescue boats and drones under a new security framework.

In September, militaries from ASEAN nations held their first-ever joint exercises, although host Indonesia insisted they were non-combat drills, focusing on areas such as disaster relief and maritime patrols.

The recent ASEAN-Japan summit stressed the need for a “rules-based IndoPacific region that is free and open”, the peaceful settlement of disputes, and respect for territorial integrity. But is China listening?

That’s not likely, we’re afraid.

Asked about the ASEAN summit, China’s foreign ministry said it “believed that any cooperation should be conducive to advancing mutual trust and promoting common development…and any cooperation should not target third parties,” apparently referring to the United States.

Here we go again

SOMETIMES, I really wonder whether the DOTr understands what it is doing.

The social media report saying the DOTr is willing to study or consider the rehabilitation of the traditional jeepneys to be part of the public transport modernization program has left me shaking my head.

Perhaps the DOTr said that just to placate the striking jeepney associations.

But that is exactly the kind of action that keeps the problem going.

In the first place, what does the DOTr mean by rehabilitation?

For the information of the DOTr, these jeepneys were assembled using 20-year-old imported diesel engines.

This is the reason why studies have shown one of the major culprits of air pollution in the Metro area is the diesel fumes from the thousands of traditional jeepneys plying the streets of the National Capital Region.

Does rehabilitation mean replacing their engines with new ones?

The installation of air-conditioning is another which, if we add all the improvements undertaken, might cost as much as the new jeepneys.

The DOTr must therefore define the exact meaning of rehabilitation to avoid confusion.

It may interest the DOTr to know that one enterprising jeepney operator “modernized” his jeepney years ago by enclosing it and installing an air-conditioning system.

He thought it would work and attract interest but it did not and the effort was quietly abandoned.

The President has made a decision.

The only thing left for the DOTr to do is start planning for the efficient implementation of the President’s decision with the least disruption to all concerned.

This will entail a lot of planning and work to avoid delays and disruptions.

Come January, what preparation is the DOTr doing if a large number of traditional jeepneys will not form cooperatives but still continue operating?

Give them another extension?

My advice to the DOTr/LTFRB is to get to work because one thing the government cannot afford is another transport chaos in the New Year. It should also stop issuing confusing statements.

Part of what the LTFRB/DOTr should do is make a list of those participating in this ongoing two-week transport strike so that legal actions could be taken against the striking operators and drivers.

It is the duty of both agencies to maintain the credibility of the Public Service Law. Otherwise, this law become useless and will always be ignored as they are already.

From my vantage point, part of the reason why the LTFRB and the DOTr are apparently so helpless in enforcing the Public Service

Law is probably the absence of a master list of operators and jeepney drivers.

It is also possible the LTFRB has it but is avoiding taking action in the vain hope these transport associations can be persuaded not to paralyze public transport.

But as we have been constantly seeing, these government gestures were apparently being interpreted as signs of weakness.

We cannot have a public transport system that is always under threat of stoppage every time the operators cannot have their way.

It is time the government took control of the situation for the public good.

Look at what is going on, a few days before Christmas and we are grappling with a transport strike. Unbelievable.

Right now, majority of the people accept the inevitability of the modernization program.

This goes thru with many drivers and traditional jeepney operators.

Only the association officers of Piston and Manibela are vehemently against the program.

In fact, 70 percent of people interviewed favor the new jeepneys.

And why not?

They are clean, air-conditioned and comfortable which the paying public deserves.

My advice to Piston, Manibela and the rest who cannot let go of the old jeepney is it is time to move on.

No one can stop change.

Aside from death and taxes, change is one of the few things that is sure in this life.

After 78 years, the old jeepney has become a relic of the past and we shouldn’t be stuck with a Jurassic transport system.

The 21st century is beckoning for all of us to be part of it.

Merry Christmas to all.

tance is crucial for members to access privileges and benefits rightfully due to them.

The failure of DepEd offices to remit premium contributions not only denies employees loan privileges but also deprives them of dividends and other benefits, causing undue harm.

of government agencies and safeguard the welfare of their employees.

The response from seven DepEd regions, committing to specific actions, is a positive sign. Issuing memoranda, assigning trained personnel, updating records, and facilitating remittances are necessary steps to address the issue at its roots.

However, it is crucial to monitor the implementation of these actions and ensure their effectiveness in resolving the problem.

DepEd’s collaboration with GSIS, as highlighted by spokesperson Michael Poa, is a positive development.

Regular meetings and the signing of a memorandum of agreement (MOA) demonstrate a commitment to resolving the issues at hand.

The provision of account officers dedicated to DepEd personnel concerns is a proactive step that can streamline communication and problem resolution.

Yet, the focus must be on concrete outcomes. Ongoing reconciling activities between DepEd and GSIS, as well as steps taken to address previous financial irregularities, are encouraging. The assurance that COA rendered an Unqualified Opinion in favor of DepEd for 2022 indicates progress but also underscores the need for sustained effort to prevent a recurrence.

Recommendations moving forward in-

volve a continued collaborative effort between DepEd and GSIS. The memorandum of agreement should be effectively implemented, with clear lines of responsibility and accountability.

Regular monitoring and reporting mechanisms should be established to track progress and address emerging challenges promptly.

Additionally, DepEd should consider internal reforms in financial management, including enhanced transparency and oversight.

The creation of mechanisms to prevent unauthorized or unnecessary transactions, as seen in the P362-million worth of dormant bank accounts, is crucial.

Periodic internal audits can help identify and address potential issues before they escalate.

In conclusion, COA’s diligence in bringing financial discrepancies to light serves as a safeguard for public funds and accountability.

DepEd’s collaboration with GSIS and the steps outlined by the seven regions are positive signals, but tangible and sustained efforts are required to resolve the issue comprehensively. The ultimate goal should be to ensure that the financial management practices of government agencies align with the highest standards of transparency, efficiency, and accountability, safeguarding the welfare of their employees in the process.

HE head of Hamas was due in Egypt on Wednesday for talks on a ceasefire in Gaza, after Israel said it was willing to agree to another pause in exchange for more hostages.

International pressure is mounting for a new truce that could ramp up aid to the besieged Palestinian territory, with the United Nations due to vote on calling for a ceasefire.

Hamas sources said Wednesday at least 11 people had been killed overnight in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip.

Qatar-based Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was expected to lead a “high-level” delegation to Egypt for talks with the country’s spy chief and others on “stopping the aggression and the war to prepare an agreement for the release of prisoners”, a source close to the group told AFP. Israel’s leaders are facing growing calls to secure the release of 129 hostages they say are being held in Gaza and, on Tuesday, signalled a willingness to return to the negotiating table with Hamas.

Israeli President Issac Herzog said his country was “ready for another humanitarian pause and additional humanitarian aid in order to enable the release of hostages”.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had recently sent his spy chief on two trips to Europe in an effort to “free our hostages”.

Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad, meanwhile, released video footage on Tuesday it claimed showed two hostages alive in its custody in Gaza, ramping up pressure on Israel.

US news site Axios reported Monday that David Barnea, head of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, met with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and CIA director Bill Burns in Europe to discuss a potential new deal to free hostages.

Axios also reported Tuesday that Israel had offered to pause the fighting in Gaza for at least one week in exchange for more than three dozen hostages held by Hamas.

The war began when Hamas militants burst out of Gaza on Oct 7, killing around 1,140 people in Israel, mostly civilians, and abducting about 250, according to the latest Israeli figures.

Vowing to destroy Hamas, Israel began a campaign of bombardment, alongside a ground invasion, that Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry says has killed 19,667 people, mostly women and children.

Qatar, backed by Egypt and the United States, helped broker a week-long truce and hostageprisoner swap in November in which 80 Israeli hostages were freed in exchange for 240 Palestinian prisoners. AFP

A parcel of land located at Palo, Leyte, in the name of the decedent with fair market value of Two Million Four Hundred Seventy-Seven Thousand Eight Hundred Pesos (Php 2,477,800.00).

It appears that the Testator’s Will was left in the custody of her remaining living son, Augusto Juan P. Gonzalez, who lived in the same household as the Testator. However, Augusto died in 2021. It was only upon Augusto’s death that the Testator’s Will was found among his belongings by herein Petitioner, one of the Testator’s Grandchildren. Not being aware of the requirements of law, it is only recently that the subject Will was brought to the attention of the other heirs, and the advice and services of the undersigned counsel/s were secured for appropriate action. In the Will, Gloria Natividad Gonzalez Sena is named as the executor and that in case Gloria Sena becomes incapacitated to perform her duties as such, the Testator’s granddaughter, Andrea Marie G. Sena, shall be her substitute. Unfortunately, the name executor and her named substitute are not residents of the Philippines and, pursuant to Rule 78, Section 1 of the Rules of Court, are therefore incompetent to execute the duties of an executor. Considering that the named executor and her substitute are both incompetent to perform the duties of an executor, herein Petitioner Angelique Gonzalez, likewise next of kin and a devisee named in the Will, prays that she be appointed as executor and letters testamentary and/or of administration be granted in her favor pursuant to Section 6(a) of Rule 78 of the Rules of Court.

WHEREFORE, finding the petition to be sufficient in form and substance, let this case be set for hearing on February 6, 2024 at 1:30 in the afternoon before this Court located at Room 703, 7th Floor, Hall of Justice, Diliman, Quezon City, at which place and on which date and time, any person who has objections to the petition may appear and file his opposition thereto.

Let a copy of this Order be published, at the expense of the petitioner, once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation throughout the Philippines, chosen by raffle.

Further, let a copy of this Order and the Petition, with its annexes, be served by registered mail upon the known heirs, legatees, devisees and the creditors of the deceased, Natividad Gloria Perez Gonzalez, at their respective addresses.

JISHISHAN, China – Survivors of China’s deadliest earthquake in years huddled in aid tents on Wednesday after overnight temperatures plunged well below zero, with the death toll rising to 131.

State broadcaster CCTV said at least 113 people were killed in northwestern Gansu province and 18 more in neighboring Qinghai after a shallow tremor on Monday night damaged thousands of buildings.

Almost 1,000 were injured across the two provinces, according to state news agency Xinhua.

The quake was China’s deadliest since 2014, when more than 600 people were killed in southwestern Yunnan province.

AFP reporters saw families sheltering in makeshift tents constructed from wooden poles and tarpaulins outside the local Majiahe mosque near the epicenter in Gansu’s Jishishan county, with outdoor stoves and blankets salvaged from their homes their only sources of warmth.

Residents crowded around stoves in large tents set up by the local government on a basketball court in Liugou township.

One resident told AFP some tents had as many as 35 people huddling inside. AFP

Putin calls for ‘severe’ response to foreign agents who aid Ukraine, destabilize Russia RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin called on Wednesday for a “severe” response to foreign agents who aim to destabilize Russia by aiding Ukraine.

“The Kyiv regime with direct support of foreign special services has taken the path of terrorist methods, practically state terrorism,” Putin said in a video address.

“These are acts of sabotage against civilian sites, transport and energy infrastructure, attacks against civilians and representatives of authority,” he said.

Numerous sabotages on Russian railroads and drone attacks attributed to Ukraine have been reported since Moscow launched its offensive in Ukraine in February 2022.

“The attempts by foreign special agents to destabilize the political and social situation in Russia must be severely stopped,” Putin said in his address

on security agency workers’ day.

“Security services have no easy task. But you have all the necessary potential, all the possibilities in order to ensure the security of the state, of society and our citizens.”

Meanwhile, Ukraine said nine people, including four children, were wounded by Russian shelling in the southern city of Kherson as drones also targeted the capital Kyiv and the second-largest city Kharkiv.

“During the evening shelling of Kherson by the Russian occupiers, nine people were injured, four of them were children,” said Roman Mrochko, head of Kherson, adding that the children were between two and 13 years old.

A mother and her three children were hospitalised but “their condition is moderate. They have contusions and… explosive injuries”, Mrochko said on Telegram. AFP

In seismic move, Colorado court blocks Trump from presidential primary ballot LOS ANGELES, California – Donald Trump is ineligible for the US presidency because of his involvement in the January 2021 assault on the Capitol, Colorado’s supreme court ruled Tuesday, setting off a political earthquake that could upend next year’s election.

The stunning legal decision -- which Trump’s campaign said it would appeal -- drew immediate condemnation from Republicans across the spectrum, and looked set to light a fire under the former reality TV star’s claim to political persecution.

The ruling, which only applies to the Colorado primary ballot, is the first of a number of legal actions across the country to successfully invoke the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which bars from office anyone formerly sworn to protect the country who later engages in insurrection.

“A majority of the court holds that President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution,” the Colorado high court wrote. AFP

Stocks end flat as market awaits more cues on Fed action

By Jenniffer B. Austria PHILIPPINE stocks ended nearly flat Wednesday after investors took a breather from the market’s recent rally.

The bellwether Philippine Stock Exchange index lost 0.52 points, or 0.01 percent, to close at 6,520.75, while the broader all-shares index inched up by 1.70 points, or 0.05 percent, to settle at 3,434.41.

Regina Capital Development Corp.

Luis Limlingan said investors were waiting for more cues on the planned rate cut by the US Federal Reserve.

Limlingan said the Fed’s recent dovish shift lifted the stocks in the past trading days.

Total value turnover reached P5.38 billion.

Meanwhile, Asian equities rallied Wednesday, following another record performance on Wall Street as trad-

ers continue to bet on the US Federal Reserve slashing interest rates several times next year.

The advances come even as central bank officials try to push back against expectations, which have set markets up for a healthy end-of-year rally.

The next key event this week will be the release of the US personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, which is the Fed’s preferred gauge of inflation.

The reading’s fall in recent months, along with consumer prices and a slowing jobs market, has been among the main reasons decision-makers are feeling confident that they are on the right track.

Still, they are trying to prevent investors getting ahead of themselves by tempering expectations.

The latest was Atlanta Fed boss Raphael Bostic, who said: “For me, I’m

thinking inflation is going to come down relatively slowly in the next six months, which means there’s not going to be urgency for us to pull off our restrictive stance.”

That comment came after Chicago Fed chief Austan Goolsbee said he was confused by the strong market reaction and New York Fed chief John Williams said traders were being premature.

Still, Wall Street enjoyed another strong day, with the Dow finishing at a fifth straight record high, while the S&P 500 approached its own all-time peak.

Asia and Europe were happy to pick up on the positive vibes.

Tokyo and Seoul rose more than one percent, while there were also healthy gains in Hong Kong, Mumbai, Sydney, Bangkok, Singapore, Taipei, Manila and Jakarta, though Shanghai and Wellington sank. With AFP

Alternergy, Shell surrender wind contract to DOE

By Alena Mae S. Flores

HE joint venture of Alternergy Group and Shell Overseas Investment B.V. found technical challenges in the Calavite Passage offshore wind (OSW) project and decided to return the contract to the government.

T

The joint venture concluded the preliminary studies and initial assessment on the technical feasibility of four offshore wind energy service contracts (WESCS) awarded by the Department of Energy (DOE).

Alternergy Holdings Corp. said in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) Wednesday that the preliminary study was done to screen possible locations and determine the best sites for the OSW development over the contract areas covered under the four WESCs. It said while the results of the preliminary study showed positive indications for three sites, the fourth one met technical issues.

“As with any offshore wind deManila velopment, preliminary studies are Standard used to understand the complexity TODAY and feasibility of the contract areas to select the best sites for development. Based on these studies, the three sites are deemed feasible for offshore wind development exploration,” Alternergy president Gerry Magbanua said.

The three sites are situated over the Tablas Strait issued to Tablas Strait Offshore Wind Power Corp.

(TSOWPC), the project company.

RCBC unit gets BSP approval as new trust corporation THE trust and investments arm of Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. (RCBC) will soon operate as RCBC Trust Corp. (RCBC Trust), a stand-alone trust corporation.

A trust corporation is engaged primarily in trust, other fiduciary business and investment management activities.

RCBC Trust president and chief executive Robert Ramos said said the Bangko Sentral

ng Pilipinas (BSP) granted RCBC Trust the authority to operate on Oct. 10, 2023.

Ramos said it was on its final preparations for the transition and would commence operations on the first business day of 2024.

He reassured clients that the transition would not change the way the accounts are managed and that all terms and conditions of clients’ existing agreements will remain

the same, except for the change in trustee or agent from RCBC Trust and Investments Group (RCBC TIG) to RCBC Trust Corp.

“Once we complete the transition and start operating as RCBC Trust Corp. in 2024, we will continue to provide the same level of personalized service that our clients have grown accustomed to over the years,” Ramos said.

Illicit trade on vapor nicotine, non-nicotine products thrives —“— Out in the Open Ray S. Eñano

ILLICIT trade is a bane among our tax collectors. It deprives the government of billion pesos worth of revenues and the practice finds ways to circumvent product standards.

The illegal trade continues to pose challenges to the government.

As an archipelago with porous borders that encourage smuggling, the Philippines is at the receiving end of illicit trade.

Importers and manufacturers also devise schemes to make big profits and skirt taxes at the same time. We’ve seen this before in the case of Mighty Corp., a tobacco company that ceased to exist after evading P37.88 billion worth of taxes by using counterfeit tax stamps.

The illicit trade is prevalent in the e-cigarettes sector as well.

While the government implements laws imposing excise taxes on various sin products (including e-cigarettes), the persistence of illicit trade on “vapor nicotine and non-nicotine products” shortchanges the government on its intention to collect excise taxes to fund the country’s universal healthcare system.

The private sector and the academe are naturally alarmed by revenue losses from excise taxes. The Federation of Philippine Industries estimates the illegal trade practices cost the Philippine government P26 billion in 2022. A recent study from the University of Asia & the Pacific (UA&P) projected a P43-billion loss over the next four years, if the government would not reinforce its enforcement of anti-smuggling laws.

Popular e-cigarettes The growing popularity of vapor nicotine and non-nicotine products, or e-cigarettes, has apparently emboldened sellers and manufacturers to resort to the illegal practice. Acting on an intelligence tip, the Bureau of Customs (BOC) raided a Valenzuela City warehouse storing 14,000 illegally-imported boxes of e-cigarettes.

The raid confiscated around 1.4 million pieces of 10 ml disposable e-cigarettes marked with Flava labels. The quantity of confiscated products amounts to almost P700 million in value and P728 million in taxes.

The House Committee on Ways and Means, meanwhile, has received independent reports that certain products in the market contain higher nicotine content, contrary to the formally registered amount. Among these e-cigarettes are Flava products and Chillax.

Per their labels and registration, these products merely declare freebase nicotine. However, third-party test results show they also

As an archipelago with porous borders that encourage smuggling, the Philippines is at the receiving end of illicit trade.

contain nicotine salts and benzoic acid. The misdeclaration has significant implications because excise tax rates for freebase nicotine and nicotine salts are different.

Per the 2020 NTRC Research Journal, the 2023 excise tax rates on freebase nicotine and nicotine salt stand at P60 per 10ml and P52 per 1ml, respectively.

The Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives conducted two investigation hearings, in aid of legislation, on the developments on Nov 28 and 12 Dec 12, 2023. The committee said it would issue a report shortly recommending the filing of criminal charges based on prima facie evidence presented during the two hearings against the unscrupulous industry players involved on the issue.

Universal health care The early detection of the alleged illicit trade practices of Flava Corp. and partner Denkat Trading Philippines augurs well for the government’s tax collection drive to fund budget priorities like healthcare.

Albay Rep. Joey Salceda in a House report correctly points out the evils of illicit trade and its adverse impact on government social services and the whole business community.

“Eighty percent (80%) of revenues from vape sin taxes are spent towards universal health care and government hospitals. So, the health impacts of smoking vape aside, tax evasion in this product, is stealing from our hospitals and our sick,” he says.

The excise taxes of P728 million on Flava’s products would cover a significant part of the P10-billion budget cut for the Department of Health (DOH) for 2024.

In addition, since these confiscated e-cigarettes were not officially declared, there is no assurance about their quality and compliance to health standards. Given the continued prominence of counterfeit products, these illegally imported e-cigarette products might contain dangerous substances and ingredients considered toxic to humans.

To sum it up, government agencies must undertake steps to ensure fairness and equity in the implementation of business laws and send a message to all other businesses involved in illicit trade practices that the long arm of the law excuses no one.

sults of the study for the Calavite Passage site located offshore and onshore Occidental Mindoro, identified several technical issues that could potentially make the development unfeasible at this time given the available technical innovations and market conditions.

The Calavite area has a potential of 5 gigawatts of wind power. Alternergy and Shell’s service contract has a potential capacity of 1 GW. “The WESC covering the Calavite Passage located offshore and onshore Occidental Mindoro will be returned to the DOE pursuant to our obligations under the WESC while the development of the three Tablas Strait WESCs will be further explored,” Magbanua said.

Alternergy said the board of Calavite Passage Wind Power Corp.

(CPWPC) discussed several technical issues that make the development of the Calavite Passage offshore wind power project “unfeasible.”

“As such, the board of CPWPC approved to surrender Wind Energy Service Contract No. 2022-02-198 covering the Calavite Passage Project to the Department of Energy,” it said.

BSP rules out rate cut as inflation still a risk

By Darwin G. Amojelar

IGHER consumer prices remain a challenge for the Philippines, despite the easing inflation in the past two months, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said Wednesday.

H

“We’re still not out of the woods when it comes to inflation,” BSP Governor Eli Remolona Jr. told reporters in a news briefing.

Data from the Philippine Statistics

Authority (PSA) showed that inflation eased to 4.1 percent in November from 4.9 percent in October and 6.1 percent in September.

The November inflation brought the

average rate to 6.2 percent, exceeding the BSP’s 2 percent to 4 percent target this year.

The Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC) earlier said the average inflation rate for 2023 was expected to settle at 6 percent.

Remolona said the BSP was unlikely to cut interest rates in the next few months.

The policy-making Monetary Board earlier kept the overnight borrowing rate unchanged at 6.50 percent and the overnight deposit and lending facilities at 6.0 percent and 7.0 percent.

DTI forecasts stronger GDP growth in 2024

FLI DONATION. Fifty employees of Filinvest Land Inc., the property developer behind the Spatial Davao mid-rise condo community, team up with the Davao City Environment and Natural Resources Office and local community volunteers for a treeplanting activity in Sitio Malamboon in Barangay Buacana, Davao City. FLI also donated 12 shovels, 15 meters gardening net, 100 sacks, 1,000 seedling bags and 50 pairs of gardening gloves.

By Othel V. Campos TRADE Secretary Alfredo Pascual forecasts a healthier economy in 2024 amid the government efforts to remedy domestic issues despite the global headwinds.

“The forecast is that the Philippine economy will grow better [in 2024] than this year, and even faster than our neighbors in the ASEAN,” he said Wednesday.

Pascual said the proposed revision of economic provisions in the 1987 constitution would help magnify investors’ trust in the local business environment.

He said the country should continue to welcome foreign direct investments (FDI) to generate more employment for Filipinos.

He said the recent presidential visit to Japan would not only add new capital investments in major economic sectors, “but all of these will translate for decent jobs for Filipinos.”

Philippine Export Confederation of the Philippines (PhilExport) president Sergio-Ortiz Luis said employment in the country continued to improve with more and new investments coming in.

“The challenge now is how to get the informal sector in the fold. There is a huge number of people who are doing odd jobs, part time jobs and those that are in the grassroots. It is our goal to give them regular employment,” he said.

BAZAAR FESTIVAL.

An assortment of artisanal handicrafts and Filipino delicacies from Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan take center stage at the World Bazaar at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. Their products include upcycled chimes and candle holders, chocolate cashew, coco vinegar, powdered calamansi juice, virgin coconut oil, coco bagoong, marble, Bamboo baskets, nito products, woodcrafts, rattan bike planters, south sea pearls, dried fish and shrimp paste.

Remolona said, however, the BSP may consider cutting interest rates if the “numbers point to the right direction” and the inflation rate settles around 3 percent.

The government expects an inflation rate of 2 percent to 4 percent between 2024 and 2028.

Remolona said the economy, as measured by the gross domestic product (GDP), was expected to grow “relatively strong” in the fourth quarter or similar to the 5.9-percent expansion in the third quarter.

11-month BOP posted $3-b surplus; GIR rose to $102.7b THE country’s balance of payments position posted a deficit of $216 million in November, lower than the $756-million shortfall recorded in the same month last year, data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas showed Wednesday.

“The BOP deficit in November 2023 reflected outflows arising mainly from the national government’s payments of its foreign currency debt obligations,” the BSP said.

It said that in the first eleven months of 2023, the cumulative BOP position registered a surplus of $3 billion, a

reversal from the $7.9-billion deficit recorded a year ago.

“Based on preliminary data, this development reflected mainly the improvement in the balance of trade alongside the higher net inflows from personal remittances, trade in services and foreign borrowings by the national government,” the BSP said.

“Further, net inflows from foreign direct investments contributed to the surplus, albeit lower during the covered period,” it said.

The gross international reserves (GIR) level also increased to $102.7

billion as of end-November 2023 from $101.0 billion in October.

The BSP said the latest GIR level represented a more than adequate external liquidity buffer equivalent to 7.6 months’ worth of imports of goods and payments of services and primary income.

It was also about six times the country’s short-term external debt based on original maturity and 3.7 times based on residual maturity.

BOP is the difference in total value between payments into and out of a country over a period.

Pag-IBIG approves P12-b funding for over 9,000 4PH housing units PAG-IBIG Fund approved a P12billion revolving credit line for the National Housing Authority (NHA) to finance the development of 9,110 housing units, with an initial 6,967 homes to be built in Quezon City, Valenzuela, Zamboanga and San Juan as part of the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Housing or 4PH Program, top officials said Wednesday.

“We are happy to report that the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program of the Marcos administration continues to gain momentum. PagIBIG Fund’s approval of a revolving credit line for its fellow key shelter agency, the National Housing Authority, not only shows the government’s united front in addressing the housing backlog but also shows our shared commitment to provide our fellow Filipinos with decent yet affordable shelter in sustainable communities,” said Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar, who heads the Department of Human

Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) and the 11-member PagIBIG Fund board of trustees.

Pag-IBIG Fund’s revolving credit line for the NHA will initially finance the construction of medium and highrise condominiums consisting of 4,111 units in Quezon City, 1,377 units in Valenzuela, 944 units in Zamboanga and 535 units in San Juan.

The revolving credit line is equipped with safeguards for the proper and efficient use of funds, with the NHA providing the corresponding loan collaterals. Each drawdown from the credit line has a maximum payment term of three years and includes provisions to ensure the release of funds for the intended housing projects.

Once constructed, intended beneficiaries of these projects who are active Pag-IBIG Fund members may purchase the housing units through a Pag-IBIG Housing Loan under the 4PH Program.

Meralco to cap offered capacity on baseload supply

By Alena Mae S. Flores POWER retailer Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) will issue a bid bulletin revising the maximum offered capacity for its 1,800-megawatt (MW) baseload supply requirement.

Meralco senior assistant vice president and regulatory affairs head Jose Ronald Valles said the bid bulletin for the 1,800-MW competitive selection process would incorporate the recommendations of Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) chairperson Monalisa Dimalanta.

Valles said the recommendations were incorporated in the CSP terms of reference, and one major change “was the capping of the maximum offered capacity.”

“Under the TOR, any bidder can offer a maximum of 1,800 MW, so she recommended to cap it to a certain level. We recommended 1,200 MW which I think was acceptable to her,” he said.

He said the amendment in the TOR could be done through the issuance of a new bid bulletin, which is allowed under the rules.

Valles said six groups expressed interest in the 1,800-MW baseload supply.

“We have written the ERC chair, that because there are recommendations and that we have already incorporated to the TOR, we’re seeking guidance if we can proceed with the bid opening on Dec. 27,” he said.

Grizzlies’ Morant dazzles in return LOS ANGELES—Ja Morant made a scintillating return from a 25-game suspension Tuesday, driving for a game-winning layup as time expired to lift the Memphis Grizzlies to a 115-113 NBA victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.

The basket capped a 34-point, eight-assist, six-rebound performance from Morant, who was suspended by the league for the first 25 games of the season after a pair of social media posts in which he displayed guns.

He looked a little rusty to start, and a little weary at the finish, but ultimately Morant delivered everything the Grizzlies could have hoped for and more.

“I ain’t played a game in eight months,” he told broadcaster TNT. “Had a lot of time... a lot of hard days where I went through it.

“But you know, basketball is my life, what I love, therapeutic for me and I’m just excited to be back.”

The Pelicans, led by 34 points from Brandon Ingram, were up 60-41 at halftime, but the Grizzlies hit back in the third quarter, cutting the lead to 10 entering the final period.

With 1:20 left to play, Morant connected with a floater that put them up 111-109 -- Memphis’ first lead since the first quarter.

It was tied at 113-113 when Morant grabbed the rebound of a CJ McCollum miss and after a timeout took the ball up the court and sliced into the lane for the game-winner.

“I felt like it was the perfect ending, perfect day, being able to come back and play and also deliver a game winner for us,” he said.

Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said before the game that Morant was “fired up,” adding that his message to the 24-year-old was “go out there, have fun, build chemistry with your teammates and just enjoy this opportunity to be back on the floor.”

Tapales not intimidated by foe ‘Monster’ Inoue

By Randy Caluag

F

ILIPINO ring warrior Marlon Tapales is teeming with confidence as he primes himself up for the much-anticipated belt unification clash against the formidable Naoya ‘Monster’ Inoue next week in Japan.

In a recent media workout held in Paranaque, Tapales made a resolute vow to be fierce and fearless, emphatically declaring that the highly esteemed Japanese star holds no power to intimidate him when they face off for the undisputed super-bantamweight championship on Dec. 26 at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo.

Inoue, widely recognized as one of the best poundfor-pound fighters globally, is set to put his World Boxing Council and World Boxing Organization straps on the line.

For his part, Tapales brings the World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation belts to the table, aiming to be the Philippines’ first undisputed champion.

Unlike many of Inoue’s previous adversaries, Tapales stands undeterred by the Japanese star’s fearsome reputation.

“I have no fear. That’s an advantage, I think, because

most of his opponents got intimidated easily,” said Tapales, downplaying the considerable odds stacked against him.

Throughout his recent fights, Tapales has consistently embraced the underdog role, often taking on opponents on their home turf.

However, the impending clash with Inoue presents a new echelon of challenge. Recognizing the necessity for extraordinary performance, Tapales underwent a rigorous training regimen, including an extensive stint in Las Vegas before relocating to Baguio City.

With a ring record of 37-3 and 19 knockouts, Tapales acknowledges that his statistics pale in comparison to Inoue’s impressive numbers—25 wins, 22 by knockout, in as many fights.

Nevertheless, Sean Gibbons of MP Promotion places unwavering faith in Tapales’ unique style.

Gibbons emphasizes that “styles make fights,”

Superal launches back-to-back drive in Asia Cup THE second Simone Asia Pacific Cup unfolds Thursday (Dec. 21) in Indonesia with defending champion Princess Superal expecting a heightened level of competition despite the absence of major champions with world No. 9 Atthaya Thitikul of Thailand and Japan’s Nasa Hataoka adding a touch of star power to the 56-player roster.

Superal scripted a narrative of triumph, outshining luminaries like New Zealand’s Lydia Ko, Korean Hyo Joo Kim and Hinako Shibuno of Japan, to claim her maiden pro championship worth $100,000 in last year’s inaugurals of the event at the Pondok Indah Golf Course in Jakarta, winning by three over former US Women’s Open champion So Yeon Ryu of Korea.

But the 26-year-old Superal anticipates a more challenging competition with Thailand and Korea fielding an impressive lineup of players eager to dominate both the individual and team championships.

The 54-hole tournament, put up by the Asia Golf Leaders Forum to advance the

development of women’s golf in the Asia Pacific region, offers not only a substantial total prize of $750,000 but also carries the allure of world ranking points.

The individual competition offers a total prize purse of $550,000 while the team event stakes a total pot of $200,000.

Superal, embracing the role of a key contender, has diligently prepared for the demanding battles head, flanked by a troika of equally-talented compatriots – fellow ICTSI-backed Bianca Pagdanganan and Dottie Ardina, and Daniella Uy. Pagdanganan, riding high on the momentum of reclaiming her LPGA Tour card, forms a dynamic partnership with Superal in team play, amplifying the Philippines’ prospects for success after Superal and Pauline del Rosario finished second to Ryu and Bo Mee Lee last year.

Like Superal, the big-hitting Pagdanganan is also making a homecoming of sort to Pondok Indah, where she won the individual bronze and helped lift the Philippines to the gold medal finish in

highlighting the Filipino southpaw’s solid stance and tactical brilliance as potent weapons capable of disrupting Inoue’s ambitious plans to move up in weight and claim additional world titles.

Ardina and Uy will make up the other Phl squad in the 16-nation event that extends beyond individual performances with team dynamics also shaping the competitive landscape.

Meanwhile, Smart is facilitating live coverage of the event through its Smart Livestream app, available for free download on the Apple App Store or Google Play. No charges or subscriptions are required to enjoy the tournament, making it accessible to a wide audience of Filipino golf fans. The app will also offer full stream and highlights via video-on-demand for those unable to catch the event live.

“Princess’s victory last year was a great moment for Philippine golf. We think there’s a good chance of another Pinay lifting the trophy this year, so we are making our coverage of this event accessible to a wide audience of Filipino golf fans,” said Jude Turcuato, the First VP/Head of Sports for PLDT and Smart.

Cebuano lifters dominate Batang Pinoy meet

By Peter Atencio

Jeamae Paligtiw of Mandaue City

THREE young lifters from Cebu came up with the heaviest lifts in weightlifting, while swimmers Jasmine Mojdeh and Arvin Taguinota claimed their fourth gold medals on Day 3 of the Philippine National Games-Batang Pinoy meet.

Sixteen-year-old Alberto Bacaro gave Cebu City its fifth gold medal when he hoisted a record total 194 kilograms on Wednesday morning in the 16-17 year old 55-kg category at the Dacudao indoor court of the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.

Bacaro, who went down in weight for the competition, was below his personal best of 200 kgs, but this was the most he can do, according to his coach and former Olympian Ramon Solis.

“Nagbawas siya kasi ng timbang.

Pero ito na rin ang pinakamabigat na

nabuhat niya against sa mga competitors dito,” said Solis of the student from University of Cebu.

Seventeen-year-old Cyrinne Inan of Angono, Rizal also made his coach Pep Agosto proud, as she fought off fatigue and pushed herself to the limit with a hoist of 129 kgs in the 16-17, women’s 45-kg action.

“Nahihilo po ako. Nagba-black na po ako sa bigat, pero kinaya ko po,” said Inan, whose sister Lovelyn Inan bagged a silver in the recent Southeast Asian Games.

Inan’s effort of 73 kgs in the clean and jerk was higher than her usual of 70 kgs and this contributed to her record showing on Tuesday evening.

Meanwhile, 12-year-old Jeamae Paligtiw of Mandaue City raised a best lift of 127 in the 40+ kg category, beating her closest rival Caroline Torrecampo of

Manila by 12 kgs when the latter took the silver with a 105-kg performance.

“I just increased the power of my lift, and had a positioning in posture. That’s why I got it,”said Paligtiw, who equalled Rhianne Cabalida’s efforts last year.

Meanwhile, the 17-year-old Mojdeh, who just returned from training in the United States, delivered her fourth gold medal for Paranaque City by dominating the 16-17 year old girls’ 400-meter individual medal in the early morning swimming events at the Teofilo Yldefonso pool of the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.

Mojdeh, who will enter college next year on a student-athlete scholarship with University of Southern California, was almost 14 seconds ahead of the opposition, with Pasig’s Ma. Francesca Barretto, settling for the silver in 5:26.03, and Lia Amoguis of Davao City earning the bronze.

Swimmer Fernandez reaps most PNG medals STUNG by a close loss in a previous event earlier in the day, Quendy Fernandez charged back strong in handily topping the women’s 18-over 200-meter backstroke event, becoming the first quadruple gold medalist in the Philippine National Games at the Philsports pool in Pasig City yesterday.

In an intense duel between UP varsity squad teammates, Atasha dela Torre foiled Fernandez’s bid for a fourth straight gold in the women’s 18-over 50-meter freestyle after wins in the 50-meter butterfly, 100-meter backstroke and relay events the previous day.

Representing Ormoc City, Leyte, Dela Torre beat Fernandez by touch in winning the women’s 18-over freestyle event in a time of 28.04 seconds to the latter’s 28.16 seconds in the sportsfest organized by the Philippine Sports Commission.

It was Dela Torre’s second gold medal in three days, counting her victory in the women’s 18-over 100-meter freestyle last Monday, in the meet backed by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp, PBA, Milo, Pocari Sweat and Chooks to Go. Representing Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Fernandez, the UAAP Season 86 Swimming MVP and Rookie of the Year, shrugged off the setback an hour or so later in romping off with the mint in the women’s 18-over 200-meter backstroke in time of 2:29.52. ”I am very happy for Atasha. It was a close race but it only inspired me to do better in the 200-meter backstroke,” Fernandez, who missed her medal ceremony because she had to rush back to UP Diliman to complete some school requirements, said.

The brand commits to provide an eventful PBA season, leaving a lasting and deep connection between the brand and the organization. This christmas, ArenaPlus intends to “give back” to the community by supporting PBA games and bringing forth top notch sports entertainment.

As the year ends, ArenaPlus and PBA brings in the PBA Christmas Games, dedicated to all PBA fans who supported the league throughout the season.

The event was welcomed by a ceremonial toss participated by the big bosses from both organisations.

Hundreds of fans gather to cheer their favourite team including NorthPort Batang Pier, Magnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots, NLEX Road Warrios, Blackwater Bossing, Meralco Bolts, and Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.

W

ASHINGTON —Jake Paul, a YouTube sensation turned pro boxer, will partner with USA Boxing to provide an inside look at preparations for the Paris Olympics on his social media accounts.

The US sport governing body announced the plan on Tuesday that will include Paul mentoring fighters on becoming a brand in and out of the ring.

Paul will join the US 2024 Olympics squad in Paris, as well as at the

US Olympic training facility in Colorado Springs in a bid to boost attention for amateur boxing next summer in France.

“It has always been my goal to shine a spotlight not just on boxing as a sport, but on the people who work so hard to be the best within it,” Paul said.

“The Olympics are the greatest stage in the world and I’m honored to help bring awareness to USA Boxing and mentor these young, inspiring athletes as they fight for gold.”

Paul, a social media influencer and rapper who began boxing in 2020, hopes to shine a brighter spotlight on Olympic boxing.

His Boxing Bullies organization, a non-profit group established in 2021, uses boxing to develop youth

courage, self-confidence and leadership and oppose bullying and has renovated fight gyms in US and Puerto Rican cities.

“Within just three years of becoming a professional boxer, Jake Paul has become a standout inspiration to younger generations and has emerged as one of the most exciting, influential figures in boxing history,” USA Boxing executive director Mike McAtee said.

“Jake’s mentorship will be a vital resource to the young athletes on Team USA to ensure they capitalize on building brand IP (intellectual property) as they get the opportunity to perform on the biggest stage in the world at the most iconic contest in history—the Olympics.” AFP

Musumeci joins The Apprentice: ONE Championship Season 2

Chatri Sityodtong

ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Champion Mikey “Darth Rigatoni” Musumeci is taking on a new challenge, but it won’t come from the confines of the global stage of ONE Championship.

Instead, it will take place in a rather unfamiliar setting of a boardroom as he joins nine other candidates from all over the world in the second season of its critically acclaimed reality series, “The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition,” which airs on Netf lix across Asia starting next week, December 28.

ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong will once again test the candidates in a series of highstakes competition, and just like in the first edition, physical challenges will go hand in hand with the business aspect of the show.

The candidates will battle it out for the grand prize of a US$250,000 job offer to work at ONE’s headquarters in Singapore under Sityodtong.

“The first season of ‘The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition’ was a huge success, ranking in the Top 10 on Netflix in multiple countries and trending on Netflix all around the world,” Sityodtong said.

“Our new crop of candidates will face the toughest ‘Apprentice’ season ever. I can’t wait to showcase this.”

The second season of “The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition” was filmed across different locations in Singapore and Qatar, and was co-produced by Qatar Media City.

Like the f irst season, Singapore’s Ref iner y Media will once again handle the show’s production, and they promise to be even better after the f irst season.

“Building on the success of Season 1, this upcoming installment of “The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition” will showcase captivating new locations, innovative challenges and a diverse set of candidates,” Karen Seah, Refinery Media founder, said.

“Our commitment to delivering engaging content remains steadfast, and we’re confident that both returning and new viewers will enjoy the dynamic twists and turns in this latest chapter. Get ready for a compelling journey that introduces a new level of excitement and discovery.”

Special guest CEO appearances throughout the season include Ooredoo Group Managing Director and CEO Aziz Aluthman Fakhroo, Doha Film Institute CEO Fatma Hassan Al Remaihi, Everstone Capital CEO Sameer Sain, V3 Group CEO Ron Sim, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison CEO Vikram Sinha, Horizon Sports & Experiences CEO David Levy, Mission Holdings Board Director Soon Loo, and ONE Co-Founder & Group President Hua Fung Teh. The new season will also feature superstar athlete appearances from ONE Atomweight MMA World Champion Stamp Fairtex, ONE Lightweight Submission Grappling World Champion Kade Ruotolo, MMA superstar Roberto Soldic, Muay Thai legend John Wayne Parr, and more.

THE University of Santo Tomas Tiger Cubs capped their first round with a huge roar, beating the National University Bullpups, 85-78 in the junior division of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines 86th Season at the Fil Oil Arena in San Juan over the weekend.

Spitfire Lanze Ronquillo showed his prowess as a court general in playmaking and shooting as well as he led his team to the hard-earned victory that put the Espana boys to a tie for third (4-3) with the Far Eastern University Junior Tamaraws in the team standing, where the Adamson University Young Falcons are lording it over with a 7 -0 clean slate.

The NU Bullpups remained in second, 5-2, going into the second round elimination after the holiday season.

University of the East and Ateneo are tied with 3-4, while De La Salle Zobel is holding a precarious 2-5 card. The UPIS is cellar dweller with 0-7 mark.

“Thank you Lord for this victory, kay coach (Manu Iñigo) at teammates ko na na- develop na namin nang husto ang communication sa game. A fitting way to end our first-round elimination with a bang,” said the young Ronquillo, the game’s best player who scored 15 points, to go with 3 rebounds and 6 assists.

Cocolife, the country’s leading insurance company, headed by it’s president/CEO Atty. Jose Martin Loon, SVP Joseph Ronquillo, VP Rowena Asnan and Atty Elmore Omelas, supports the UST Tigers’ basketball operation from seniors to juniors division this season.

OMEDIENNES Eugene Domingo and Pokwang are playfully urging Vilma Santos to attend the premiere of their film Becky and Badette, an official entry to this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).

As devoted fans of the Star for All Seasons, the duo has called upon their idol to witness the cinematic offering by the IdeaFirst Company at the 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival.

“Sana Ate Vi, please, kung may time ka sa Dec. 21 (premiere night). Baka may time ka (manood).” Meanwhile, Pokwang added, “Manonood din kami ng When I Met You in Tokyo parang tawiran ganern para magkatulungan.”

A highlight of Becky and Badette is a scene where Uge and Pokie pay homage to the performances of Christopher De Leon and Ate Vi in the 1982 film Relasyon. The film, as described by director Jun Robles

Lana, serves as a heartfelt tribute not only to Vilma Santos and her contributions but also to other icons such as Sharon Cuneta, Maricel Soriano, and Dolphy.

“When you watch Becky and Badette, you’ll be surprised that Star for All Seasons Vilma Santos plays a significant role in the characters’ lives. It’s in the script. There’s a reason why you’ll see Ate Vi as a big part of the film. Many scenes are being re-enacted, and it’s crucial to the story. Besides that, it’s a love letter to Philippine cinema,” the director noted.

Meanwhile, recounting their friendship, Eugene shared the story of how they met during the Clown in a Million contest in 2004. Pokie, a standout contestant, left a lasting impression on Eugene, who initially thought Pokwang was gay.

“I first saw Pokie during that show.

I was invited to speak to the remaining contestants, and she truly stood out. I commented that she’s naturally funny, even without engaging in conversation; she exudes fun. It was only later that I realized, ‘Oh, she’s a girl?’ And she

emerged winner,” the seasoned actress and comedienne recalled.

“Uge is a giver,” Pokwang described her friend. “She’ll go along with your ideas. She knows what will work well or what will turn out beautifully. For example, when I come up with a punchline, she’ll go along with it, and the outcome becomes even better. She also contributes input to Director Jun.” In the movie, Eugene and Pokwang team up again (they first worked together in 2006) as two high school best friends who navigate life’s challenges through a series of hilarious misadventures.

Joining them in the movie are Romnick Sarmenta, Agot Isidro, Adrian Lindayag, Angie Castrence, Peewee O’Hara, with special appearances by Iza Calzado, Sunshine Dizon, Karylle, Empoy, Moira dela Torre, Christian Bables, Janice de Belen, Gladys Reyes, Sheryn Regis, Sharlene San Pedro, Timothy Castillo, Joross Gamboa, Sigrid Bernardo, Via Antonio, and Ice Seguera.

Becky and Badette opens in cinemas nationwide this Dec. 25.

Statement trophy from vintage Side A LIKE a talented basketball player who had his heyday yet kept turning back the hands of time to perform great games alongside new faces, seasoned band Side A sent a clear message in that regard after bagging a trophy at the latest edition of Awit Awards.

The iconic band won the category for Best Ballad Recording with their digital single “Clueless,” released in November of last year. It is, should we say, a statement trophy for a veteran artist hailed as a topnotch act when it comes to ballads. The victory is proof that the group still has what it takes to win at such a level, as there is no doubt the Awit Awards is the Philippines’ version of the Grammys.

Back in the ‘90s, Side A went on a tear with a string of trophies at Awit Awards, acknowledging their brilliance and helping them establish a footing in the mainstream music scene. Their song “So Many Questions,” the tune behind a shampoo commercial that paired future showbiz couple Lucy Torres and Richard Gomez, also won the same award, in addition to Best Performance By A Group plum, in 1994.

The following year, the group took home from the Awit Awards ceremony, a repeat of the Best Performance by a Group citation for the track “By Your Side,” and Best Jazz Performance with Vocals for “True Love Can Always Wait.”

In hindsight, Side A reached its peak with the release of “Forevermore,” which earned nods for Song of the Year and, for the third straight year, Best Performance

By A Group when Awit staged its ninth edition on June 14, 1996. The EP of the

same title sold more than 90,000 copies, a first for a Filipino recording.

For emphasis on the band’s longevity, Awit’s Album of the Year winner in 1996 was “Cutterpillow,” Eraserheads’ magnum opus. This year the album and song honors went to a Filipino-Japanese named Ena Mori and a band from Baguio called Dilaw, respectively. That’s a quick picture of what a generation gap is. No problem, Side A is keeping up.

“Clueless,” a lyrical, mid-tempo piece with a steady beat, had been penned by Side A’s current bassist Ned Esguerra. The everfamiliar “Forevermore” is a masterpiece by their then bass player Joey Benin.

“Coz it’s cold outside your window, as I wait for your reply,” says a key line in the song.

If the combo behind some of the highly rated Filipino love songs, now reaching its 40th year in the biz, was knocking at the door of Awit Awards for some assurance of their durability, then the award-giving body replied with a bang.

Side A is now signed to Icons Music, a division of Widescope Entertainment which made it two in a row as “Manatili,” a song penned and sung by Ebe Dancel which it released in 2021, won in the previous year’s race for Best Ballad.

Side A led by long-time members Naldy Gonzalez and Ernie Severino had also been named a finalist for this year’s Best Performance by a Group. At the same time, Sitti, another Widescope A-list act, got a nomination for Best World Music.

Current lead singer Yubs Esperat and lead guitarist Leevon Cailao complete Side A’s active personnel.

Toxic traits we wish to bid adieu to in 2024 Job Well Done Joba Botana

E

very New Year, we often read articles or posts on social media platforms about New Year’s resolutions, sometimes known as “promises that some of us will most likely break.”

Job Well Done gathered thoughts from industry colleagues and came up with a list of some of the many toxic traits that we wish to be banished— cross fingers—starting this New Year.

Being late. Being *forever* late can take a toll on the relationship between colleagues and friends.

Whether it is a work-related meeting, an event you said ‘yes’ to, an appointment with your doctor, or a meet-up with friends, chronic lateness displays a lack of respect for people.

Unless there’s a valid emergency, consistently adhering to “Filipino time” should be abandoned entirely.

Toxic masculinity. Hegemonic masculinity, such as misogyny, homophobia, and violent dominance, are some socially destructive traits. When promoted at home among children, they carry these traits with them into adulthood, and these can have negative side effects not just on their health but on the people around them.

Admire masculine strength, not toxic dominance.

Your health is a top priority, and selfcare should not be a source of guilt or judgment.

Not respecting boundaries. If you don’t set healthy boundaries, others will keep crossing your line, and most likely, you are at their mercy. Having boundaries allows us to have privacy, In with positive change, out with toxic traits this coming year and when it is respected, then we feel heard, validated, and appreciated.
