Pakil, Laguna. The Department of Trade and Industry – Laguna Provincial Office (DTI-Laguna), through its Negosyo Center Pakil, conducted a webinar on Forex Trading for Beginners: What You Need to Know and How Does It Work last 16 February 2023 via the online conferencing platform Zoom. The 2-hour webinar session was attended by eighty-four (84) participants from Pakil and nearby towns. The webinar was discussed by a #BITS graduate and Forex Trader, Mr. Argel Carl Platon.

It commenced with an opening prayer led by Macuha followed by an opening remarks from the Officer-in-Charge of DTI-Laguna, Mr. Christian Ted Tungohan, who warmly welcomed the participants and expressed his gratitude not only to them but also to the invited speaker as well. After such, Macuha continued with the program by giving a brief introduction of the speaker.

Platon, a graduate of the pioneered program of DTI-Laguna #BITS (Boosting Innovation and Technology Start-ups), began his discussion by giving a quick background of his career and how Forex Trading had caught his interest. He then proceeded to his topic by describing how trading is done in the Foreign Exchange industry. He also covered the two types of analysis that traders must combine and manage. Prior to trading, he advised participants to build foundations since it is preferable to have the proper knowledge, mindset, training and execution in order to limit risk in trading. Lastly, he invited everyone to a week-long workshop should they be interested in the world of Foreign Exchange.

Gem Castillo Amante receives 2022 Outstanding Philanthropist Award

Gem Castillo Amante was recently awarded Outstanding Philanthropist of the Year 2022 during the third Southeast Asian Achievement Red Carpet awards night on February 19, 2023 at the Manila Grand Opera Hotel.

The Southeast Asian Achievement Award (SEAAA) is an award-giving organization that recognizes the most passionate and promising achievers to inspire others and honor those who are meant to make a mark of legacy.

The Outstanding Philanthropist award honors an individual with a proven record of exceptional generosity who, through direct financial support, demonstrates outstanding civic and charitable responsibility and whose generosity encourages others to be philanthropic.

Gem has had great personal success in both the private and public sectors. But that has never been enough for her. She has poured her time, energy, and resources into making San Pablo City a better place for all members of its community. She has inspired many others to do the same. She has given her own time, money, and talents but has also inspired an army of others to participate in advancing their communities.

Encouraging and motivating others to give is at the core of all, Gem believes her greatest legacy is to have inspired others to generously give back—to invest time, talents, money, and energy into making their communities as healthy and supportive of families and with as much social and economic justice as possible.

Full blown accounting ng Covid-19 vaccines, hiniling ni Escudero

Full blown accounting ng Covid-19 vaccines, hiniling ni Escudero

Nanawagan si Senador Francis Escudero noong Lunes para sa ganap na pag-audit ng mga gastusin sa bakuna sa coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) na nagsasabing may karapatan ang publiko na malaman ang lahat ng pagbili ng bakuna sa panahon ng pandemya.

Sinabi ni Escudero na hindi matukoy ang kabuuang halaga ng nagastos dahil nagdududa rin siya kung ang tinatawag na “non-disclosure agreement” (NDA) na nilagdaan ng gobyerno sa mga manufacturer ng bakuna bago ang pagbebenta ay maaaring gawing dahilan para itago ang mga detalye ng bilihan.

“The NDA goes against Section 6 (the transparency clause) of Republic Act 11525 or the Covid-19 Vaccination Program Act of 2021, which requires the publication of the approved budget of contract and the amount of contract awarded on vaccine purchases. Millions of vaccine shots have unfortunately expired. But what does not go stale is the responsibility to disclose the details of the billions spent for them. The vaccines do not carry an immunity from accountability,” ayon kay Escudero.

Inilarawan niya ang NDA bilang isang “new breed of an excuse” upang maiwasan ang pananagutan at dapat itong itigil.

Dahil dito, hinimok ng Bicolanong senator ang Commission on Audit (COA) na mag-subpoena ng mga dokumento at ang Department of Health (DOH) at iba pang ahensya ay dapat sumunod.

Naiulat na sa 245 milyong dosis ng mga bakunang Covid-19 na binili o natanggap ng gobyerno nang libre, humigit-kumulang 44 milyon ang nag-expire sa pagtatapos ng 2022.

“Hanggang ngayon, walang price list na lumabas kung magkano ang Sinovac, ang Moderna, ang Pfizer at iba pa. And yet, we fine small grocery stores for not complying with the price tag law. ‘Yung tindahan na hindi nailagay ang presyo ng sardinas, may multa. Itong sa bukana, deadma,” ayon pa rin kay Escudero.

Nakipag tulungan na rin ang Energy Development Corporation sa lokal na pamahalaan ng Camalig at sa mga ahensya ng gobyerno sa paghahanap at pagsagip sa mga sakay nito.

“Hindi natin inaalis ang possibility na baka sumabay ang body ng mga sakay ng eroplano doon sa tubig na galing sa Mayon. Siguro pabalik ng Manila. Hindi po natin alam kung bakit napunta doon sa may crater ng Mayon,” ayon pa rin sa alkalde.

Kinumpirma ng Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) noong Sabado na nawalan ng kontak ang Bicol International Airport air traffic controllers sa Cessna 340 airplane (Caravan) aircraft na may registry number RP-C2080 na umalis ng Bicol International Airport dakong 6:43 a.m.

Palasyo: Peke ang memo sa 2-day salary deduction para sa mga gov’t workers

Ibinasura ng Malacañang kanina at idineklara bilang “fake news” ang diumano ay memorandum circular sa dalawang araw na bawas sa sweldo sa sahod ng mga manggagawa ng gobyerno upang magtatag ng relief fund para sa mga biktima ng lindol sa Turkey at Syria.

“This is not true,” ayon kay Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Secretary Cheloy Garafil sa kanyang mensahe sa mga reporters.

Sinabi ni Garafil na ang Office of the Executive Secretary ay “nakikipag-ugnayan din sa mga awtoridad” upang imbestigahan ang mapanlinlang na memo.

Ang pekeng memo ay ginawa na parang nilagdaan ni Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin sa pamamagitan ng pahintulot ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

“The unfortunate earthquake occurred in Turkey on 6th February 2023 has caused significant human and livestock casualties as well as widespread damage to private homes and public infrastructures. Damage to infrastructure has worsened the humanitarian situation. To extend maximum support to Turkish government and people to help them cope with the destruction caused by the earthquake, a fund has been established/opened as ‘President’s Relief Fund Fur Turkey Earthquake Victims’. It is further proposed deduction of salary from government employees. The President considered the proposal and approved the deductions…” ayon sa pekeng memorandum.

Binanggit dito na ang mga officials at officers na nagtatrabaho sa mga ministry, mga dibisyon, mga departamento, mga awtoridad, mga korporasyon, mga kumpanya, mga institusyong pinansyal at mga komisyon na nagtatrabaho sa ilalim ng “federal government” ay makakatanggap ng dalawang araw na kaltas sa sweldo.

Nakasaad din sa mapanlinlang na memo na ang mga opisyal at opisyal ng civil and armed forces, mga officers at officials na may hawak na mga contractual na posisyon gayundin ang mga pakete ng lump sum pay, at ang mga officials at officers na lokal na ni-recruit sa foreign missions  ay magkakaroon din ng dalawang araw na kaltas sa sweldo.

‘Pagsikhay’ (efforts) of Sta. Rosa citizens recognized during the SIkhayan 2023

Sta. Rosa City, Laguna. Mayor Arlene B. Arcillas once again recognized the efforts of every individual in the City of Santa Rosa in this year’s Sikhayan Festival held on February 18 at the City of Santa Rosa Multi-Purpose Complex. 

Sikhayan was derived from the words “sikap” at “kabuhayan” which intends to celebrate and recognize the efforts of the people in the city. 

In her message during the opening of the festival, Mayor Arlene said that the “pagsisikhay” of the citizens was the key to the development of Santa Rosa from the former municipality which thrived from farming and fishing towards becoming a commercial and industrial city that it is today. In addition to the investors that entered and have continued to stay inside the city for many years. 

Mayor Arlene also called on everyone’s participation for the continuous development of Santa Rosa consistent with the theme of Sikahayan 2023.

“Sikhayan is a testament to the unity and efforts not only of the City Government, not only of the industries, but of each and every Santa Rosa family,” she said.

The late Mayor Leon C. Arcillas who is considered the “Ama ng Lungsod” was also recognized by Mayor Arlene for having faith in the potential of the city and its citizens to reach the progress it is enjoying today. 

She also added that in the celebration of the 25th Sikhayan Festival in 2024, companies and industries inside the city will be invited as participants in the street dance competition.  

“Let us all prove that the Lion City will keep on roaring and will keep on developing… Santa Rosa will be the best city to play in, do business in and live in not only in South Luzon but in the whole of the Philippines,” in her ending statement.

Santa Rosa was formerly known as Barrio Bukol which is part of Bian. It became a separate municipality on January 18, 1792, and the celebration of Sikhayan Festival coincides with the anniversary of its establishment as a separate town. 

Participatory governance since 2007

The City of Santa Rosa, under the leadership of Mayor Arlene, has been implementing the participatory style of governance ever since. It is a style of governance in which the officials give importance to the participation and contribution of every sector in creating and implementing the plans and programs. 

Because of the solidarity of every sector, the city continues to receive recognition every year. Some of the recognitions received in year 2022 include the Seal of Good Local Governance Award, Outstanding Anti-Drug Abuse Council in 2021 from the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG); Outstanding SUBAYBAYAN LGU in Calabarzon -Top Subaybayani Compliant LGU and Top LGU Implementer (Cities and HUC) from the DILG-4A; Top 9 Most Competitive (Economic Dynamism) – Component Cities from the Department of Trade and Industry; NHA Maintainer Award 2021 from the Calabarzon Regional Sub-Committee on Nutrition; Gawad Kalasag Seal of Excellence – Beyond Compliance from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council; and Finalist in the Most Business-Friendly LGU for City Level 2 Category of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

PBBM: Hindi gagamitin ng PH ang MDT sa US hinggil sa pag-laser ng China

PBBM: Hindi gagamitin ng PH ang MDT sa US hinggil sa pag-laser ng China

Walang balak si Pangulong  Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.  na ipanawagan ang Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) sa Estados Unidos  kasunod ng laser-pointing incident ng China sa West Philippine Sea.

“If we activate that, what we are doing is escalating the — intensifying the tensions in the area and I think that would be counterproductive. Besides, despite the fact that it was a military-grade laser that was pointed at our Coast Guard, I do not think that that is sufficient for it to trigger the Mutual Defense Treaty,” ayon kay Pangulong Marcos  sa media interview  sa Philippine Military Academy (PMA) alumni homecoming sa Baguio City.

“So we are in constant contact, of course, with our treaty partners, not only with the United States but also our ASEAN partners and our partners here in Asia and that I think is the better recourse rather to go directly to the Mutual Defense Treaty, which again, I am very concerned would provoke the tensions rather than cool the tensions down,” dagdag ng Pangulo.

Noong Pebrero 6, naiulat na gumamit ang Chinese Coast Guard vessel na may bow number 5205 ng military-grade laser bilang bahaging maneuvers, laban sa  Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) vessel BRP Malapascua (MRRV-4403) habang nagsasagawa ng resupply mission para sa  Filipino troops sa Ayungin Shoal sa West Philippine Sea.

Ito ang tinurang dahilan ng pansamantalang pagkabulag ng ilang PCG personnel.

Nang tanungin naman ang Pangulo kung ano nag-udyok dito upang  pigingin ang  Chinese Ambassador para talakayin ang isyu, sinabi ng Pangulo na ang laser-pointing incident ay bahagi lamang ng pinag ibayong aksyon ng maritime militia, coast guard at  navy ng  China.

“Actually, I said we have to find a way around this because if we are such close friends such as China and the Philippines, these are not the kind of incidents that we should be talking about between the President and the Ambassador to the Philippines from China,” ayon kay Pangulong Marcos.

“And I reminded him that this was not what we agreed upon with President Xi (Jinping) when I visited him in Beijing,” dagdag ng Pangulo.

Umaasa naman ang magkabilang panig na  makakakuha sila ng tamang paraan upang tugunan ang paglusob sa Philippine maritime territory at maging ang agresibong aksyon na nakikita ng Pilipinas noong mga nakaraang linggo. 

Naghahanap ang Beijing ng direct line sa pagitan ng PH, China defense agencies

Sa bukod na report, umaasa si Chinese Ambassador to Manila Huang Xilian na magkaroon ng hiwalay na direktang linya sa pagitan ng Beijing at ng mga defense establishments ng Maynila sa gitna ng lumalalang tensyon matapos ang pagharang ng Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) ng Philippine Coast Guard vessel na BRP Malapascua noong Pebrero 6.

Ang pahayag ay ipinarating noong Biyernes, ilang araw matapos i-activate ng Beijing ang linya ng komunikasyon na itinatag sa pagitan ng Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) at ng Chinese Foreign Ministry bilang resulta ng state visit ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. sa China.

“[W]e are also exploring some new… more communication mechanisms and I do believe that we also need to have some mechanisms between either the Navies (or) defense establishments of our two countries,” ayon sa kanya sa isang media briefing.

Nanawagan din si Huang paconsultations” na nagsasabing ang mga partido ay dapat pigilin ang “hyping up” ng isang isyu, na tumutukoy sa BRP Malapascua laser incident.

Samantala, pinanindigan niya na ang ginamit sa insidente ay “hindi isang military-grade lase at hindi nagdudulot ng pinsala sa alinmang tauhan o kalakal.”

Aniya, nakipag-ugnayan na ang CCG sa PCG hinggil sa insidente.

“Both sides have shown the good intention to avoid such incident from happening again. At the end of the day, that water is a disputed area so in order to avoid such incidents I think that both sides need to exercise restraint and refrain from taking any unilateral actions,” dagdag niya..

Kultura ng bullying sa mga ospital pinai-imbestigahan ni Tulfo

Naghain si Senador Raffy Tulfo ng resolusyon na naglalayong imbestigahan ang mga ulat ng pambu-bully sa hierarchy ng ospital, na ayon sa kanya ay nagdudulot ng banta sa physical, psychological at mental health and safety ng mga apektadong medical workers and professionals.

Sa kanyang Senate Resolution No. 467, binanggit ni Tulfo na ang mga apektado ng bullying ay mga clerk, interns, residente, nurse at iba pang medical professionals.

Binanggit niya ang isang libro ni Dr. Erwin Manzano na pinamagatang, “Hospital Bullies in the Philippine Clerkship and Residency Training” na nag-ulat na “ang ilang ospital at klinika ay nagpatibay ng kultura ng pananakot kung saan ang mga senior na residente at consultant ay nakakasakit at mapang-api sa mga junior na residente, trainees , mga klerk at mga mas mababa ang ranggo, ngunit nanatiling hindi nalalantad dahil sa pagiging maimpluwensyah nila o itinuturing silang mataas at iginagalang na mga miyembro sa propesyon.

“The highest degree of professionalism must be upheld and observed in the medical profession at all times, ensuring a harmonious environment where medical professionals can communicate with each other and work together with respect, such that patient’s safety and welfare is safeguarded at all times,” ayon sa SR 467 ni Tulfo.

“It is necessary to conduct an inquiry in aid of legislation to determine the extent of the problem and to propose measures to address the situation,” dagdag pa ni Tulfo nong hiniling nya sa Senate Committee on Health and Demography na imbestigahan ang mga isyu.
