Macasaet takes over SSS

President and Chief Executive Officer Rolando Ledesma Macasaet formally assumed the post as the 20th head of the Social Security System (SSS) from outgoing PCEO Michael Gonzales Regino during turnover ceremonies held at the Magsaysay Hall of the SSS main office in East Avenue, Quezon City on Tuesday, January 10, 2023.

Macasaet, who held the position of President and General of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) during the last four years of the Duterte Administration, was appointed by President Bongbong Marcos to head the SSS last week.

In his brief speech, Macasaet assured the SSS officials and employees that under his stewardship, the agency will continue with the reforms and innovations started by Regino to provide better social services to workers and pensioners.  

“I will continue with the path of growth started by PCEO Regino and explore new ways for the benefit of members, pensioners, and other stakeholders,” Macasaet said. “We will work doubly hard to provide our current members and pensioners what is just and due to them without jeopardizing the financial protection of members and future pensioners,” he added.

The new SSS Chief said he was grateful to President Marcos for giving him the opportunity to serve under his administration by overseeing the state-run pension fund for those in the private sector.

“President Ferdinand R. Marcos has high expectations from us to provide guaranteed safety nets to the Filipino people,” Macasaet said. “We have to work doubly hard so we could provide our current members and pensioners on what is just and due to them without putting in jeopardy the financial protection of current members and future pensioners.”

At the same time, Macasaet commended Regino for his dedicated hard work and professional as PCEO and for instituting various reforms and programs that made SSS a leading social protection institution in the country today.

“PCEO Regino managed to transform the agency into a government show window of reform, efficacy, and dedicated public service,” Macasaet said. “The records will show that under his leadership, the SSS achieved new heights in improved social security services, in better coverages and benefits to pensioners, in providing equitable loans, better investments and improved collections.”

Earlier in his own speech, Regino urged Macasaet, whom he described as his personal friend, to continue with the implementation with the innovations he introduced that will result to better services to at least 3.1 million SSS pensioners in the country.

Macasaet took his Oath of Office before Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin in Malacañang on January 5, 2023. Regino served as SSS PCEO for nine months after being appointed by former President Rodrigo Duterte in March 2022. Before that, he was a member of the Social Security Commission, the highest policy-making body of the SSS.

Both Macasaet and Regino are natives of Zamboanga City and were high school classmates at the Ateneo de Zamboanga University class of 1977. They started their professional careers in Metro Manila and were appointed to key positions during the Duterte administration.

During his term, Regino said the SSS increased its efficiency, built its investment portfolio and ensured the timely and proper delivery of benefits to SSS members.  In his nine-months as PCEO, Regino implemented innovative programs that benefit its members and employers.

Among these programs are the flexible contribution payment schedule for farmers and fishermen, the Contribution Subsidy Provider Program, the Consolidation of Past Due Short-Term Member Loans with Condonation of Penalty, Contribution Penalty Condonation Programs (CPCPs) for business and household employers, and the Workers’ Investment and Savings Program (WISP) Plus. The SSS also disbursed a record of P238 billion in benefits to members, pensioners, and their beneficiaries.

Before joining SSS, Macasaet had an extensive experience in public service as he served in various leadership capacities in several Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) from 1988 to 2005, such as the Philippine National Construction Corporation, Dasmariñas Industrial Steel Corporation, Skyway Corporation, and Tierra Factors Corporation.

Moreover, he has more than two decades of professional experience in financial services, banking, and public-private partnerships, most of it under the Philippine National Bank, which makes him a perfect fit to manage the pension fund. He also served as a Board Member of various companies such as San Miguel Corporation, Bank of Commerce, Private Infrastructure and Development Corporation, and PCI Bank.

Macasaet worked for the Bank of Montreal, served as Director of Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank in Beijing and with the Philippine National Bank (PNB) as vice president in Los Angeles and ASEAN based in Singapore.

He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Economics, Cum Laude, from the University of the Philippines and has earned a Master of Business Administration from the same university. He also finished an Executive Program in Finance at Columbia University and a Diploma in Management at Harvard Business School, both in the United States. (SSS)

Makakaasa po kayo na hindi namin ititigil ang aming mga operasyon kontra ilegal na droga at maging sa mga iba pang ilegal na gawain upang matiyak natin ang kaayusan, katahimikan  at siguridad ng ating mga mamamayan,” ayon kay Silvio.

‘Travel goals’ of politicians hamper the goal of educational tourism

‘Travel goals’ of politicians hamper the goal of educational tourism

Call it educational tourism or edu-tourism, but the fact remains that state universities and colleges’ overall mission on it is doomed to fail because of the “travel goals” of politicians. Private higher education institutions, for that matter, need to use their potential and stop following the practices of their counterparts in the countryside.

There is no doubt that we generally lack dynamic management and leadership skills simply because our local and national politicians use a huge sum of taxpayer pesos for their travel goals in America, Europe, and Asia. Just take a close look at university projects for edu-tourism, their health and environmental impacts if any, and you would instantly spot them on your own: Sayang.

Even short-term goals cannot be achieved, though educators have done and are doing their best enriching students with cultural and related experience by their educational travels. While the educators intensely provide high-quality curricular offerings in hospitality and tourism, Congress tolerates non-stop errors of judgment by some of its “honorable” members from its two chambers, whose horrible official travel expenses redound to benefits that are simply not great. It is the same Congress which does not have the balls or scruples to instigate high-level talks to make sure taxpayer money is spent wisely and judiciously in foreign trips of officials. “Juicylicious” funds and future support for political undertakings are going to happen should they keep mum on excessive foreign travel issues. Pundits note that Congress cannot see real threats to the public out of these secret deals made before and after the top officials travel abroad. Have we heard of a single congressional inquiry dissecting the budget rundowns of the official tours made in the last six months? Majority of congressmen and senators are a hit and miss in terms of exercising their check-and-balance power to override and reject extravagant ideas of going out of the country as their constituents keep on asking for basic social and health services to no avail.

We always hear university projects getting small budgets, while all we hear from our legislators and key government officials is that they triumph on their trips overseas. They trumpet billions and trillions of fresh investment “pledges,” but economic experts think otherwise. According to them, every nation-state pledge these days means nothing but an empty promise. You may even contemplate why these politicians allow these to happen; it is all because out of all these trips, they can successfully advance their art of PR.

But who are really going to invest in the Philippines and how ready are they to know that we are not ready for them? Neither for ourselves. On the bright side, educators and their institutions are focused on their educative mission, busying themselves more on the local edu-tourism, with many of them even extending their service to the service and agriculture sectors. Simply put, politicians’ “travel goals” must go away.

Mga tsika tungkol sa Coco Fest 2023 celebration sa PH

Mga tsika tungkol sa Coco Fest 2023 celebration sa PH

Unang ipinakilala sa mga Pilipino ng mga Espanyol ang mga fiesta noong kalagitnaan ng 1500s. Ang mga katutubo noon ay sumasamba sa maraming diyos at nagkaroon ng kani-kanilang mga kultura at tradisyon. Bilang bahagi ng kanilang estratehiya upang masakop ang Pilipinas, ipinakilala ng mga Kastila ang Kristiyanismo, nagtalaga ng mga patron sa bawat bayan at hinimok ang mga lokal na magbalik-loob at dumalo sa mga fiesta upang maligtas sa kasamaan.

Sa ngayon, bukod sa paggunita sa mga araw ng kapistahan ng mga patron, ang mga cultural exhibitions ay sabay-sabay na idinaraos upang isulong ang mga lokal na produkto at para parangalan ang kasaysayan ng bayan.

Ang mga pagdiriwang sa Pilipinas ay karaniwang binubuksan ng fireworks: isang parada ng mga street dancers na may makukulay na kasuotan at props na lahat ay gawa sa mga katutubo o recycled na materyales, saliw ng banda, isang friendly competition ng pinakamahusay na pinalamutian na mga bahay, isang misa bilang parangal sa patron ng ang bayan, at isang malaking piging para sa lahat. Nagtatampok din ang bawat festival ng isang hanay ng mga aktibidad, tulad ng sports fest, beauty pageant, cultural show at performances. Ang bawat pagdiriwang ay may natatanging tema na tumutukoy sa ‘flavor’ ng pagdiriwang.

Maraming pagdiriwang sa buong Pilipinas sa lahat ng oras ng taon. Ang Coconut Festival sa San Pablo City ay isa sa pinakatanyag na pagdiriwang sa Calabarzon at isang malakas na kandidato bilang isang national tourism event.

Ang Coco Fest ay isang linggong pagdiriwang sa San Pablo City, Laguna, bilang parangal sa patron na si Saint Paul the First Hermit. Ito ay ginaganap tuwing Enero 10 hanggang 15. Sinimulan ang selebrasyon na ito noong noong 1996. Ang pagdiriwang ay binubuo ng street dancing, float parade, beer plaza at mga konsyerto sa kalye, mga programa sa entablado sa plaza gabi-gabi bago ang pista ng lungsod at ilang iba pang mahahalagang kaganapan. Ngayong taon ay ilan lang ang Coco Cook Fest, CocoArt painting contest at Coco Zumba sa maraming activities na may kinalaman sa coconut.

Nakiisa ang Department of Trade and Industry-Laguna sa isang linggong piyesta. Mabibili sa mga fiesta booth ang iba’t ibang produktong handicarfts at food products sa reasonable na halaga.

Kilala rin bilang Coco Fest, nagbibigay ito ng mas maraming kulay sa city fiesta na ginaganap tuwing ika-15 ng Enero. Nakakaakit ito ng mga tao sa mga kalapit na bayan at mga turista pati na rin ang lokal at pambansang media. Pinapalakas nito ang kultura at tradisyon ng San Pableños.

Ang festival na ito ay nakakuha ng citation mula sa Association of tourism Officers of the Philippines (ATOP) at Department of Tourism (DOT) bilang pinakamahusay na Tourism Event para sa Festival Category City Level para sa Calendar Year 2010-2011-2012-2013 (PIA) na naglagay San Pablo City, isang tourist destination.

Nakakuha na rin ng “Pearl Award” ang “Coconut Festival” noong 2013 bilang Hall of Famer sa 14th National Convention ng Department of Tourism (DOT)–Association of Tourism Officers of the Philippines (ATOP) na ginanap sa Legazpi City, Albay.

Tatlong taon na hindi naipagdiwang ng bongga ang Coco Fest dahil sa Covid-19. Ngayong 2023, sa kumpas ni San Pablo City Mayor Vicente B. Amante ay babawiin ang tatlong taon ng pananabik sa makulay at masiglang piyestang San Pablo.

Tara ng mamiyesta!  Mag jacket ka, maginaw sa San Pablo.

Mabuhay ang San Pablo. Mabuhay sa habang panahon!

Local health workers in the Philippines champion COVID-19 safety on remote islands

Local health workers in the Philippines champion COVID-19 safety on remote islands

Over the past two years, people on the remote island of Manicani in the Philippines have built their resilience against COVID-19, with the help of a civil society organization, local government units, local health care workers and WHO.

In the early days of the pandemic, it was challenging for the 3000 residents of Manicani Island in the Eastern Samar province to separate sound advice on COVID-19 vaccinations from misinformation. Even those who wanted to be vaccinated faced the cost and hassle of a 45-minute boat ride to the nearest vaccination centers. As a result, vaccine uptake was low. 

Under WHO’s Civil Society Organisation (CSO) Initiative, WHO partnered with People In Need (PIN) Philippines, an international non-profit organization that works with vulnerable and hard-to-reach groups to provide humanitarian and development assistance, to better understand these barriers to vaccination and how to overcome them. 

The CSO Initiative was an accelerator project that aimed to strengthen civil society engagement in the response to COVID-19 at both the national and local levels. Through community-based interventions, WHO and its partners have worked to support some of the most vulnerable groups who are often left ‘unreached’ during health emergencies. In the Philippines, this initiative was also supported by the European Union. 

With support from WHO, PIN led the COVID-19 response on the island and worked closely with village health workers, local leaders and the Department of Health, to promote vaccine confidence and improve awareness and action around COVID-19 guidelines. 

The first step in understanding people’s reluctance to be vaccinated against COVID-19 was listening. The PIN team went house-to-house in Manicani’s four villages to understand people’s knowledge, perceptions, concerns and fears surrounding vaccination. To further understand and debunk these myths and concerns, the team organized meetings with residents of the island, local government units and health workers, who are trusted members of the community. Tailored and creative information, education and communication materials, translated into the local language, were also distributed and postered to help fill gaps in people’s knowledge, address rumors and provide science-based messaging. 

These efforts resulted in a significant increase in vaccine uptake and reduction of COVID-19 cases via community transmission. Every resident in Manicani island was reached with information and vaccination rates almost tripled, with 79% of the island’s eligible population being vaccinated by March 2022. Overall, trust in health workers was crucial in keeping people safe and for the success of the project. “We were the first to get vaccinated because we are the frontliners so we served as examples to other people in our barangay [village] that nothing bad will happen if you will get vaccinated.
