President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the Philippines has become a "victim" of its own success amid the shortage of healthcare workers, many of whom went abroad in search for better paying jobs.

Marcos made the remark during a meeting with members of the Business Executives for National Security (BENS) in Malacañang, which tackled US investments in the Philippines' health, digital infrastructure and energy programs.

"Unfortunately, in terms of health care workers, we have become victims of our own success in that the Filipinos did really well during the pandemic. And so every leader I meet says 'can we have more Filipino med techs, doctors and nurses?' So we're having a shortage here," Marcos said.

"So we are trying to find schemes so as to alleviate that problem. One of the things our Department of Health (DOH) has come up with is that we are coming to an arrangement with countries who will accept Filipino health care workers to at the same time train the equivalent number of health care workers that will stay in the Philippines," he added.

The president said the Department of Health (DOH) is addressing the shortage. It is working out a deal with other countries that will accept Filipino healthcare workers and "at the same time train the equivalent number of healthcare workers that will stay in the Philippines."

He also said the government plans to accelerate the board exam to produce more nurses.

Last June, Health Secretary Ted Herbosa announced the DOH's plan to hire nursing graduates who scored at least 70 to 74 percent in the board exam. The passing grade is 75 percent.

"So that's the adjustment that we are trying to make. So it's not only in the facilities, it's also in the training. We are very proud of them but we wish they'd stay home," Marcos said.

SEE YOU AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE, BROWNY

Isang tuta ang namatay matapos umanong ihagis ng isang security guard mula sa footbridge sa Quezon City nitong Martes, July 11, 2023.

Ayon sa Animal Kingdom Foundation, sinita ng security guard ang isang grupo ng mga bata dahil ayaw daw nilang umalis sa lugar. Bilang panakot, kinuha raw ng guwardiya ang tuta at inihagis. Browny raw ang pangalan ng nasabing tuta.

Matapos na ihagis ang tuta ay isang residente naman ang makikitang pumulot dito.

UPDATE: Sinisante na ng mall na kaniyang pinagtatrabahuhan ang guwardiya.

PBBM INAUGURATES HYDRO POWER PLANT IN AGUSAN DEL NORTE; ASKS PRIVATE SECTOR TO WORK WITH GOV'T IN PROVIDING AFFORDABLE, CLEAN POWER

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Wednesday called on the private sector to partner with the government in providing affordable, reliable, and clean energy, as he vowed to improve bureaucratic processes in the energy sector to attract investors.

"I call once again on our private sector partners to join us as we realize our goal of advancing affordable, reliable, and clean energy for the benefit of our people," President Marcos said during the inauguration of the 24.9 megawatt (MW) Lake Mainit Hydro Power Plant in Jabonga, Agusan del Norte.

"We assure you that this government will continue to improve bureaucratic processes in the energy sector to make it easier for investors to come in."

This lies at the very core of the administration's Eight-Point Socioeconomic Agenda as well as its commitment to mitigate the impact of climate change and combat other environmental threats.

"Let this inauguration that we are commemorating today serve as an encouragement to potential investors to invest in the country, especially in the power generation and the renewable energy sector," Marcos said calling on the local government of Agusan del Norte to provide all the necessary assistance to ensure the efficiency, safety, and productivity of the hydropower plant.

Marcos expressed gratitude to the Markham Resources Corp. and the J-POWER Group for their partnership to develop and operate the Agusan del Norte hydroelectric power project, as he looks forward to greater cooperation between the Philippines and Japan on renewable energy.

The Lake Mainit hydroelectric run-of-river power project offers several benefits and is expected to sustainably serve around 45,000 households.

Aside from producing power, it is also expected to generate socioeconomic opportunities for the people of Agusan del Norte and the rest of Mindanao.

Moreover, the project is also expected to help reduce carbon footprint and improve air quality as hydroelectric power produces very low or zero carbon emissions during electricity generation.

The hydro power plant is also seen to transform the energy landscape within the region by providing 100,871 megawatt hours of clean affordable energy to local communities each year.

The power plant endeavors to deliver reliable and accessible electricity to the consumers of Agusan del Norte Electric Cooperative Inc. (ANECO) and support ever-growing demand from both residential and commercial sectors in the CARAGA region. | PND

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. welcomed on Tuesday the commitment of the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. (MUFG) to help the Philippine government in the country's transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy. 

In a courtesy visit of MUFG Chairman Mike Kanetsugu, President Marcos said he welcomed the commitment of the MUFG as he emphasized that the Philippines is balancing the importance of both the renewables and fossil fuels. 

The President added the Philippine government is very sensitive to the climate change situation in the country. 

"We are also very conscious of our situation in the Philippines wherein we are very sensitive to climate change. It is very important that we play also a part to move the balance of renewables and fossil fuels more and more in favor of renewables," Marcos said.

Seoul, South Korea (July 12, 2023): A South Korean-made robot has wowed audiences with its ability to conduct an orchestra. The robot, named EveR 6, made its debut on Friday night at the National Theater of Korea, where it led the National Orchestra of Korea in a performance of traditional Korean music.

EveR 6 is a 5-foot-10-inch-tall (1.8-meter) robot that was developed by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology. The robot is equipped with motion-capture technology that allows it to replicate the movements of a human conductor. EveR 6 can also listen to the music and adjust its conducting accordingly.

On Friday night, EveR 6 led the National Orchestra of Korea in a performance of three traditional Korean pieces. The audience was reportedly impressed by the robot's ability to keep the orchestra in time and to bring out the nuances of the music.

"It was amazing to see a robot conduct an orchestra," said one audience member. "The robot was so precise and confident. It really made the music come alive."

EveR 6's performance has sparked a debate about the future of conducting. Some people believe that robots will eventually replace human conductors, while others believe that robots will simply be a tool that human conductors can use to improve their performances.

"I think robots have the potential to be very powerful tools for conductors," said one conductor. "They can help us to be more precise and to get the most out of our orchestras."

Only time will tell how the future of conducting will unfold. But for now, EveR 6 has shown that robots can be just as capable as humans when it comes to conducting an orchestra.

Here are some additional details about EveR 6:

The robot is powered by a lithium-ion battery and can conduct for up to two hours on a single charge.

EveR 6 is equipped with a camera that allows it to see the musicians and the conductor's score.

The robot can also communicate with the musicians through a wireless network.

EveR 6 is still under development, but the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology hopes to eventually make it available for commercial use.

S USCOMPANIES EYE COOPERATION, INVESTMENT IN HEALTH, DIGITAL INFRA, ENERGY IN PH 

The Business Executives for National Security (BENS) reaffirmed on Monday morning its commitment to boost the cooperation and investment of the US in terms of health, digital infrastructure and energy programs in the Philippines as part of the efforts to enhance the Philippine-US economic engagement. 

In a meeting with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. at the Malacañan Palace, members of the BENS asked the chief executive about his thoughts on business opportunities in the healthcare system in the Philippines especially on the nursing industry and on the digital infrastructure and energy. 

"So one of the main things that we are doing – in fact, we are groundbreaking a big multi-specialty hospital just outside Manila soon and we are going to open more of them as annexes hospitals," President Marcos told members of the BENS as he emphasized that the Philippine government aims to build more hospitals in the far-flung areas. 

"I'm always been a great believer of bringing healthcare down to the grassroots level. Right now, there is a tendency for us to only go to the hospital when it is absolutely necessary ... So healthcare has become an important part of this administration efforts," he added. 

The President also emphasized  that the Philippines became "a victim of our own success" especially during the pandemic where a lot of world leaders have asked for the country's help to deploy more Filipino nurses and medical practitioners abroad. 

But he said that the Department of Health (DOH) has already some plans on how to resolve the problem.  

"Unfortunately, in terms of healthcare workers, we have become victims of our own success in that the Filipinos did really well during the pandemic. And so every leader I meet says 'can we have more Filipino med techs, doctors, and nurses?' So we're having a shortage here," President Marcos said. 

"So we are trying to find schemes so as to alleviate that problem. One of the things our Department of Health has come up with is that we are coming to an arrangement with countries who will accept Filipino healthcare workers to at the same time train the equivalent number of healthcare workers that will stay in the Philippines," he added.

"We are trying to accelerate the board examinations of nurses so we can actually put out more. So that's the adjustment that we are trying to make. So it's not only in the facilities, it's also in the training. We are very proud of them but we wish they'd stay home."

President Marcos also told the BENS that the price, reliability and supply of energy is one of the problems being brought up by some of the foreign investors in the Philippines, including the problem on the ease of doing business. The President, however, emphasized that it is something that the government is working on. 

"The ease of doing business is something that we can do immediately about because putting up power plants no matter what kind of power plants, there are six, seven years, lead time. So maybe with the new technologies maybe we can do better.," the chief executive said. 

"So that we are certainly working on. The distribution has improved. The distribution is a factor because there are parts of the Philippines where they have ...  then there are certain areas where they do not, deficit. So that's what we are hoping to attend to in the near term," he added.  

Digital infrastructure

In terms of the digital infrastructure, Marcos said the government has amended some laws to make investment more attractive in the Philippines especially on the digitalization of the country's economy not only in the government, but also in the private sector. 

The chief executive also talked about the governments efforts to give importance to the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). 

"We are trying to bring them into the system of digital marketing. So we put up an app for small business to be able to use," Marcos said, referring to the "Paleng-QR Ph Plus Initiative" that aims to prop up economic activities in the Philippines. 

"We have encouraged all of these private NGOs who have had an interest in promoting start-ups. We are trying to create an environment that will be friendly to start-ups because we know that start-ups have higher rate of failure than other traditional businesses. So we need to be able to adjust to that new way of doing things," he added. 

The President also took pride on the country's booming business process outsourcing (BPO) industry as it continued its operations even during the trying times of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines through the so-called work-from-home scheme. 

"It derives from the very clear understanding that many of the challenges that we face today the solutions lie in new technologies. And that's why the retraining and re-skilling of our people have become important because we have to get them into that line of work so that we have enough people to occupy that," Marcos said. 

"Actually, the workforce is quite full when it comes to tech. But again, we need to catch up in terms of training, in terms of getting involved in the new technologies that we are seeing for many, many reasons: for the digitalization, for the climate change, for the cybersecurity," he added. 

For their part, the members of the BENS expressed their gratitude to the President as they recognized his excellent leadership in restoring the special and important alliance between the governments of the Philippines and the US. 

Members of the BENS present during the meeting with President Marcos were GardaWorld Federal Services President Pete Dordal; WinFertility President & CEO Roger Shedlin; Cavalry Asset Management Managing Partner & CIO John K. Hurley; Arnold & Porter LLP Senior Partner Ramon Marks; and Pescador Resources President David C. McDonald. 

SPG International President & CEO Steve Darnell; Crisis Response Company LLC President & CEO Robert Akin; Shield Capital Co-Founder & Managing Partner Raj Shah; BENS President & CEO Ret. Gen. Joseph Votel; and BENS Vice President of Programs Patrick Sweeney were also present during the meeting. 

US Ambassador to the Philippines MaryKay Carlson was also present during the meeting along with Political Counselor Brett Blackshaw, Defense Attache Col. Edward Evans, First Secretary David Sequeira, and Plans & Policy Chief, Joint US Military Assistance Group (JUSMAG) Mr. Jonathan Wachtel. 

The BENS, which is a 10-member business group in the US and founded in 1982, is currently in the Philippines until Thursday to engage with Philippine leaders at the nexus of business and national security and discuss potential areas for investment and cooperation in the country. | PND

Pag-IBIG Fund has earned the Commission on Audit's highest audit rating on the presentation of its financial statements for the 11th consecutive year, top officials announced on Monday (July 03).

State auditors, in a letter dated June 22, informed Pag-IBIG Fund that it has rendered an unmodified opinion on the fairness of the presentation of its financial statements for the years 2021 and 2022. In the same letter, COA upgraded its prior issued modified opinion on the agency's books for the year 2021, after Pag-IBIG Fund enhanced its data migration system following the state auditors' recommendations. These developments have enabled the agency to maintain its streak of garnering COA's highest audit rating for the 11th straight year.

"This is truly a significant milestone in Pag-IBIG Fund's history. Earning the highest opinion from COA for the 11th consecutive year is yet another proof that Pag-IBIG Fund has been, and continues to be, managed properly. This is a testament to how Pag-IBIG Fund upholds excellence and integrity in managing their funds, in the fulfillment of our mandates and in line with the directive of President Marcos of providing Filipinos with more stable and more prosperous lives," said Secretary Jose Rizalino L. Acuzar, who heads the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development and the 11-member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees.

COA rendered unqualified opinions on Pag-IBIG Fund's financial statements from 2012 to 2017 and unmodified opinions for the years 2018 to 2022. Auditors use both unqualified and unmodified opinions, which are the highest opinions that COA can give to a government agency or corporation, to mean that the financial statements of a company or agency are presented, in all material respects, in accordance with applicable financial reporting frameworks.

Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Marilene C. Acosta, meanwhile, emphasized the value of the state auditor's findings citing that these fittingly complete the agency's best performing year of 2022.

"The year 2022 stands out as our best performing year yet, as we posted our highest ever annual net income of P44.50 billion. We also posted record-highs in home loan takeout worth P117.85 billion which benefitted 105,212 members who now have new or better homes, membership savings collections amounting to P79.90 billion and loan payment collections worth P127.42 billion. We also extended P53.76 billion in short-term loans to aid a record-high 2,612,491 members with their financial needs. In the same year, we also launched service innovations such as the Virtual Pag- IBIG Mobile App and the Lingkod Pag-IBIG On Wheels, which now provide our members better access to our services and benefits." Acosta said.

"With our 2022 performance capped by this unmodified opinion from COA, this shows that we have achieved our best performance ever while maintaining the highest standards of financial integrity. This is what our members and stakeholders can expect from us, that we shall remain transparent in our operations and serve them with excellence and integrity," Acosta added. (END)

Rica and her older brother Riel Gutierrez both graduated cum laude from Ateneo.

"Kinikilabutan ako tuwing sasabihin sa iba na ang magulang ko na simpleng janitor ng Ateneo ay nakapagpatapos ng mga anak nila sa kolehiyo," Riel said in a Facebook post.

"Hindi lang basta nagsipagtapos, meron pang kakabit na latin honors," he added.

Elma and Ricky said they endured everything to send their children through school. The couple finished high school and had to work as students.

"Sa lahat ng silid-aralan, sa lahat ng kubeta, sa lahat ng faculty room, sa lahat ng dorm rooms na nilinis ng mga magulang ko, ito na ang naging bunga," Riel wrote.

Rica earned a degree in management economics this year, while Riel finished psychology in 2019. Riel Gutierrez/Facebook

Extrajudicial settlement of estate refers to a process by which the heirs or beneficiaries of a deceased person's estate resolve the distribution of assets without the need for court intervention. It is an alternative to the judicial settlement of estate, which involves court proceedings and the appointment of an administrator or executor to handle the distribution of assets.

In an extrajudicial settlement, the parties involved—typically the heirs—come to an agreement on how to divide the estate among themselves. This process is governed by the laws of succession and the rules and regulations of the jurisdiction where the estate is located. It is important to note that the specific requirements and procedures may vary depending on the laws of the particular country or state.

Here are some key points to understand about the extrajudicial settlement of estate:

1. Voluntary Agreement: The parties voluntarily enter into an agreement to divide the assets and settle the estate without court involvement. They negotiate and determine how the assets will be distributed among themselves.

2. Legal Requirements: There are certain legal requirements that must be fulfilled for an extrajudicial settlement to be valid. These may include obtaining the necessary documents, such as the death certificate of the deceased, and complying with the formalities prescribed by law, such as executing an affidavit of extrajudicial settlement.

3. Transfer of Assets: Once the agreement is reached, the parties proceed to transfer the assets in accordance with the terms of the settlement. This may involve transferring property titles, closing bank accounts, distributing personal belongings, and handling other relevant matters.

4. Taxes and Debts: It is important to consider any outstanding taxes or debts owed by the deceased during the settlement process. The settlement should address the payment of these obligations to ensure a proper distribution of assets.

5. Legal Assistance: While the extrajudicial settlement of estate generally does not require court involvement, it is advisable to seek legal advice from a qualified attorney to ensure compliance with the applicable laws and to protect the interests of all parties involved.

Internet and World Wide Web / Threads by Instagram
July 06, 2023, 05:05:15 PM
Share ideas & trends with text

Say more with Threads — Instagram's text-based conversation app.

Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what'll be trending tomorrow. Whatever it is you're interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world.

A few things you can do on Threads...

■ Access your Instagram followers
Your Instagram username and verification badge are reserved for you. Automatically follow the same accounts you follow on Instagram in a few taps, and discover new accounts too.

■ Share your point of view
Spin up a new thread to express what's on your mind. This is your space to be yourself, and you control who can reply.

■ Connect with friends and your favorite creators
Jump to the replies to get in on the action and react to commentary, humor and insight from the creators you know and love. Find your community and connect with people who care about whatever it is you're interested in.

■ Control the conversation
Customize your settings and use controls to manage who can see your content, reply to your threads, or mention you. Accounts you've blocked will carry over from Instagram, and we're enforcing the same Community Guidelines to help ensure everyone interacts safely and authentically.

On Wednesday, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the Instagram-powered, text-based app. With its premise of "sharing text updates and joining public conversations" netizens the world over believe Threads is poised to be yet another Twitter competitor.

"Our vision with Threads is to take what Instagram does best and expand that to text, creating a positive and creative space to express your ideas," Instagram wrote in its blog announcement.

According to Mark, more than five million people have already signed up with the new app in less than four hours since its launching.

Threads now joins the likes of Mastodon, Bluesky, and Substack Notes in angling for what people call the next Twitter.

Threads is available to download for free on the App Store.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. witnesses the signing of the Intergovernmental Energy Board (IEB) Circular on the Joint Award of Petroleum Service Contracts (PSCs) and Coal Operating Contracts (COCs) in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) in a ceremony at the President's Hall in Malacañan Palace on July 6, 2023.

The Joint Guidelines aim to operationalize the provisions of the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) that empowers the National and Bangsamoro Governments to jointly grant rights, privileges and concessions for the exploration, development and utilization of fossil fuels such as petroleum, natural gas and coal within the jurisdiction of the said Region.

Recognizing the significance of ensuring the responsible utilization of energy resources and strengthening the collective goals of both Governments, this endeavor will contribute to energy security of the country and will open opportunities for economic growth in BARMM, which is aligned with the Marcos Administration's eight-point socioeconomic agenda.

Business and Economy / Icon of the Seas
July 06, 2023, 07:11:32 AM
THE WORLD'S BIGGEST CRUISE SHIP IS ALMOST READY

A vessel that's set to be the world's biggest cruise ship has completed construction at a shipyard in Finland and has made its first foray into open water for sea trials ahead of likely delivery in October this year.

Royal Caribbean International's Icon of the Seas is a mammoth 365 meters long (nearly 1,200 feet) and will weigh a projected 250,800 tonnes. For comparison, that's like trying to keep two CN Towers afloat.

When it sets sail on Caribbean waters in January 2024, it will comfortably hold some 5,610 passengers and 2,350 crew. The boat's piece de resistance will be the world's largest waterpark at sea. Named Category 6, it'll feature six record-breaking water slides, but guests who want a more leisurely experience can also relax in the boat's seven pools and nine whirlpools.

It's being built at Meyer Turku shipyard, one of Europe's leading shipbuilders, in Turku, Finland. At an on-site press panel earlier this year, Royal Caribbean International president and chief executive Michael Bayley told media that the vessel was on track to join the Royal Caribbean fleet on October 26, ahead of its 2024 debut.

The current title holder of world's largest cruise ship is another vessel in the Royal Caribbean fleet, Wonder of the Seas, which made its inaugural voyage just last year and is a slightly teensier 1,188 feet in length, with a mere 18 decks to explore.

Royal Caribbean International is pitching Icon of the Seas as the cruise line's evolutionary peak, using the latest technology and building on 50 years of learnings through the company's history.

"We are positioning it as the ultimate family vacation and when you step back and look at all the energy and time that has gone into creating this ship it is mind-blowing," Bayley said.

The Icon completed its first set of sea trials on June 22, according to a Royal Caribbean statement.

"During her first set of sea trials, Icon of the Seas traveled hundreds of miles, during which the main engines, hull, brake systems, steering, noise, and vibration levels were all tested," the statement said. "Everything was done on time as outlined in the schedule, despite her departure being delayed due to wind conditions." | via CNN

How To Tips / 6 Laws to Win in Life
July 05, 2023, 04:14:50 PM
6 LAWS TO WIN IN LIFE

1. Stop telling people your plans

When you over share, you hurt your own progress. Keep things private and win.

2. Know when to say no

Strong people put their own well being before pleasing others. Practice saying no more often.

3. Make a decision, and commit to it

Too many people lack discipline and go back to their toxic patterns. Make a decision to change, and stick to it.

4. There is power in numbers

Nobody has made it in life all by themselves. You need a team that uplifts and supports you. Stop being a lone wolf.

5. Starve your distractions, feed your focus

Focus on your goals instead of
cheap dopamine. You will achieve anything you ever wanted.

6. Always provide value to others

There is only one secret to success: making other people's lives easier. In business and relationships, providing value will keep you their first priority.

Health and Food / Magpapayat ng Tamang Paraan
July 05, 2023, 01:40:32 PM
Magpapayat ng Tamang Paraan
Payo ni Doc Willie Ong

1. Sa mga nanay, sa palengke pa lamang piliin ang mga karne na konti lang ang taba. Ihiwalay ang taba sa laman bago pa ito iluto.
2. Mas healthy ang pag-ihaw at pag-steam ng pagkain kaysa sa laging pag-prito sa mantika. Puwede mag-ihaw ng karne o mag-steam ng mga gulay tulad ng talong, okra at talbos. Kung gusto ng healthy na sawsawan sa gulay, subukan ang suka, na nakapapayat pa.
3. Sa paggamit naman ng mantika, konti lang ang ilagay. Tandaan natin na may calories ang mantika at puwede itong magpataas ng inyong kolesterol.
4. Sa pagtimpla ng pagkain, hinay-hinay lang sa paglagay ng asin. Ang asin ang kalaban ng mga may altapresyon at may sakit sa puso. Kapag sobra ka sa asin puwede kang mag-high blood at magmamanas pa ang inyong paa.
5. Kapag naghahanda ng pagkain, bumili nitong maliit na plato. Ito iyung 9 inches na plato at huwag bumili ng 12 inches. Kailangan masanay ang ating pag-iisip na konti lang ang iyong isasandok na pagkain.
6. At kung ano ang inilagay mo sa plato, iyon lang ang kainin. Bawal ang dukut-dukot o second serving. Mga nanay, huwag piloting ubusin ang tirang pagkain. Tataba kayo niyan.
7. Bago mag-umpisa kumain, puwede ka munang uminom ng 1 basong tubig para mabusog ka ng kaunti. Puwede ding uminom ng clear soup. Kapag umiinom tayo ng mga likido, medyo nakukumbimsi natin ang ating utak na nabubusog na tayo.
8. Magbawas sa pagkain ng kanin. Kung dati at 2 cups ng kanin ang kinakain, gawin na lang 1 cup rice.
9. Huling payo. Dahan-dahanin lang ang pagpapapayat. Huwag gutumin ang sarili. Kumain ng pakonti-konti sa buong araw, tulad ng mansanas, saging o pandesal, para laging may lamang ang inyong tiyan. Good luck po.

Inspiration & Hope / Prayer for Travel Protection
July 05, 2023, 09:18:45 AM
Almighty God,

I come to you today as I prepare to travel. I ask for your protection on my journey.

Please watch over me and keep me safe from all harm. Protect me from accidents, illness, and other dangers.

Give me the wisdom to make good decisions and the strength to overcome any challenges that I may face.

Help me to be patient and kind to others, and to show your love to all that I meet.

I know that you are with me always, and I trust that you will guide me safely to my destination.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Here are some additional things you can include in your prayer:

The specific details of your trip, such as the destination, the mode of transportation, and the dates of travel.

The people who are traveling with you, if any.

Any specific concerns or fears that you have about the trip.

Your gratitude for God's protection and guidance.

You can also pray in your own words, using whatever language feels most comfortable to you. The most important thing is that your prayer comes from a place of faith and trust in God.

I hope this prayer helps you to feel safe and secure as you travel. May God bless you and your journey.

PBBM ADMIN SPEARHEADS EXPERTS FORUM TO ENHANCE, REVIEW PH RECLAMATION POLICY

In line with the development goals of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) initiated on Monday an experts' forum to craft policy recommendations for the eventual review and enhancement of the country's policies related to reclamations.

The DENR said that while the recently launched Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028 prioritizes economic transformation and builds community resilience from the hazards of climate change, it also fosters an enabling business environment to increase public-private partnerships (PPPs) in multiple sectors.

Even the President emphasized the issue in his 2022 State of the Nation Address (SONA) declaring: "Companies who exploit our natural resources must follow the law... there is no question that the preservation of the environment is the preservation of lives."

Among the forum's objectives include enabling dialogue among experts and stakeholders to get insights on reclamation, identifying gaps and entry points to enhance policy, and obtaining expert recommendations on enhancing national and local level policies on reclamation.

"The expected output is a set of policy recommendations on reclamation that will inform the review and enhancement of the country's policies related to reclamation," the DENR said.

The DENR said among the reclamation laws and policies needing review and enhancement include Executive Order No. 74 s. 2019, Philippine Reclamation Authority Administrative Order No. 2019-4 s. 2019, DENR Administrative Orders No. 2003-30 and 2018-14, and the Department of the Interior and Local Government Memorandum Circular No. 2022-018.

According to the DENR's concept note, the global sources on reclamation show how reclamation can potentially contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.

The reclamation undertaken in the Port of Rotterdam, The Netherlands, it said, is considered a good practice as shown by extensive studies, simulations and modeling, emphasizing the project's innovation, economic benefits, compliance to safety standards, as well as improvements in the social and environmental sea conditions.

In general, the concept note said there are differing opinions on what makes for a successful reclamation based on the experience of Hong Kong and Indonesia, which, while fostering economic growth, also came at significant ecological and social costs as claimed by various stakeholders.  | PND

Philippine Daily News / Mary Jane Veloso Case
July 04, 2023, 04:08:33 AM
PBBM: PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT NOT GIVING UP ON VELOSO'S CASE

The administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is continuously asking the Indonesian government to grant executive clemency to overseas Filipino worker Mary Jane Veloso, who has been in jail since 2010 over drug trafficking charges in Indonesia. 

Marcos told reporters during the 42nd ASEAN Summit and Related Summits in Indonesia that the Philippine government did not stop in asking the Indonesian government for Veloso's pardon, commutation of sentence, or even extradition to serve her sentence in the Philippines.

"But the Indonesians answered us that this is the law. Ito 'yung batas dito sa Indonesia kaya't kailangan natin ipagpatupad 'yan. And they have already given us postponement  ... but that doesn't mean it's done," Marcos said. 

The chief executive added that the Philippine government is not giving up on Veloso as he emphasized that they are always bringing up her case with their Indonesian counterpart, hoping that they might change their mind. 

"Sa ngayon, ganoon ang mga position natin," the President said. 

"We said, yes, we understand that she is convicted. We understand that the law in Indonesia is that way. But nonetheless, baka makahanap tayo ng paraan. Iuwi na lang namin 'yan. Kami na magpaparusa sa kanya, whatever. Basta't anyway to ask for clemency, to ask for grace when it comes to this," he added. 

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) had requested Indonesia on Sept. 6, 2022 to pardon Veloso who was arrested in Yogyakarta in 2010 after she brought a suitcase packed with more than 2.6 kilograms of heroin, and was sentenced to death in the same year.

PBBM ASSURES FILIPINOS OF IMPROVED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS, OPERATIONS, MANAGEMENT

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Saturday assured his administration will work hard to improve the public transportation systems, operations and management in the Philippines, vowing to resolve issues that would slow down the country's development. 

"I assure my fellow Filipinos that your government is working hard to improve the country's transportation systems, operations, and management for the benefit of present and future generations," President Marcos said during the ceremonial signing of a loan agreement for the Davao Public Transport Modernization Project (DPTMP) in Davao City. 

The President emphasized he is confident that the government's vision of a seamless, efficient, accessible and highly-connected transportation system will be within reach as long as the Filipino people are guided by the core of the whole-of-nation and whole-of-society approach. 

"We need to work together to pursue the much-needed modernization of our transport system in vital parts of the country, whether through better roads, highways and even railways.  It's not only good for the economy, but also, ultimately, for the health and general well-being of the public," the President said.

Witnessing the ceremonial signing of the loan agreement for the DPTMP, which aims to support the expanding economic activities of Davao City, the President considered it a very large leap toward realizing the government's goal to modernize the country's public transportation system.  

"As it opens its doors to visitors and investors, the city will be rewarded with increased business opportunities. Evidently, increased commercial activities necessarily bring more people which means more vehicles on the streets, busier roads, and hence, heavier traffic," Marcos said, adding that modernizing public transportation will address this inconvenience, while contributing immensely to the economic progress of the region.

The DPTMP will have an integrated network of 29 routes that will connect major commercial centers in Davao City, yielding various socio-economic opportunities for Davaoeños. It has been envisioned as early as 2010 with the help of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). 

President Marcos expressed his heartfelt gratitude to all the officials of ADB who were present during the event for their unwavering support in the various government projects and initiatives of the Philippines. 

"As we further our partnership, I am optimistic that we will come up and forge even more projects in the years ahead, especially those that aim to improve the lives and lessen the burden to the public," Marcos told the ADB officials, noting that the project can also be replicated and pursued in other highly-urbanized areas in the country.

While he acknowledged the positive developments that the DPTMP will bring to the city, the President assured the residents and the families who might be affected by the implementation of the project that the government is ready to provide them with financial and non-monetary assistance.

"Lest we forget, coupled with this grand vision of building an efficient mode of transportation are the unavoidable issues that also need our immediate attention, such as the families who will be displaced by the implementation of the program," Marcos said. 

"But I assure everyone that this project will also include social development interventions, such as financial and non-monetary assistance for those who are displaced. It will also ensure that the families affected by the construction are properly compensated and, if need be, relocated," he added.

The chief executive urged the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to strive to accomplish the DPTMP within the set timeline, ensure that it affects the least number of people and activities possible, and work together with the concerned agencies in addressing various concerns such as funding requirements. 

Marcos assured Davaoeños of his commitment that his administration will not fall short in delivering the services that they all deserve as he asked them for their full support once the project is completed and for them to take care of the buses and other forms of transportation. | PND

Philippine Daily News / PAF Anniversary
July 04, 2023, 03:55:17 AM
PBBM CONGRATULATES AIR FORCE AS THE CUSTODIAN OF OUR SKIES, PROTECTOR OF TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY AND MARITIME ZONES

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. hailed the Philippine Air Force (PAF) for upholding the territorial integrity of the Philippines and safeguarding its maritime zones.

The President praised the PAF during its 76th founding anniversary held at the Haribon Hangar, Clark Air Base in Mabalacat, Pampanga on Monday.

"The achievements exemplify the values that the PAF stands for: integrity, excellence and patriotism. As members of the Philippine Air Force, you must always uphold these values as the custodians of our skies, entrusted with the task of upholding our national interests, protecting our people, and defending our territory," he said.  

The President graced the anniversary celebration of the PAF as he witnessed its capability demonstration at Colonel Ernesto Rabina Air Base in Capas, Tarlac. He also led the awarding of outstanding PAF officers.

"The days ahead will not be easy and will demand every ounce of your strength and resilience. The winds of change signal geopolitical changes around our region and other parts of the world that as yet affect us. The Philippine Air Force's maritime air patrol missions are thus essential in upholding our territorial integrity and safeguarding Philippine maritime zones," he added.

In his speech, the President said he is honored to witness the PAF's anniversary, commemorating the 76 years of its selfless duty to the Philippines and the Filipino people as he looked back on the rich history of the air force, traced back from the stormy days of the First World War when military aviation was first introduced in the country.

The PAF was established on 1 July 1947 through Executive Order No. 94. This year's anniversary carries the theme: "PAF@76: Accelerating with Excellence Towards A More Capable, Credible and Sustainable Force."

"Throughout history, the dedication and sacrifice demonstrated by all the personnel has paved the way for the PAF's growth and success over the last 76 years. We stand today to recognize the outstanding PAF officers, members, and units who have shown exemplary dedication to securing our nation and defending our skies," President Marcos said.

"You have contributed in laying the groundwork for the enhancement of our aerial defense capabilities. So, in behalf of the Filipino people, I thank you for your service. May you continue doing your best in all the endeavors that you are given and inspire your fellow airmen and airwomen to do the same," he added.

The chief executive also took pride to see the great distance that the PAF has flown to ensure the security and sovereignty of the Philippines as he expressed gratitude for going beyond its service, extending into the depths of calamity and humanitarian crises.

President Marcos also valued the PAF's efforts to support the Philippine Army and other law enforcement agencies in upholding internal security, making the communities safe from various threats.

Before concluding his speech, the President reiterated his commitment to strengthen the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) including the PAF through acquisitions under the AFP Modernization Program as he wished the air force to continue soaring to greater heights.

He also reminded the men and women of the air force to remain united in purpose, indomitable in spirit and unwavering in its dedication to protect the Philippines and the Filipino people. | PND

Philippine Daily News / Housing Project in Pampanga
July 04, 2023, 03:54:05 AM
PBBM INSPECTS PAMPANGA HOUSING PROJECT, RENEWS COMMITMENT TO ADDRESS PH HOUSING BACKLOG

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. led the inspection of a housing project in San Fernando, Pampanga on Monday, renewing his administration's commitment to address the housing backlog in the country for the benefit of ordinary Filipinos.

During the inspection of the Crystal Peak States project, President Marcos expressed elation on the simultaneous launching of the government housing projects in the province under the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Housing (4PH) Program which, he said, is one of the priorities of the administration.
 
"Layunin po ng programang ito na magpatayo ng mga pabahay na malapit sa mga mahahalagang pasilidad na kinakailangan para sa mas produktibong pamumuhay," Marcos said, adding that the goal is to build one million houses each year until the end of his term as president.

"Maraming pamilyang Pilipino ang siguradong makikinabang sa mga komportable, abot-kaya, at ligtas na pabahay na ito," he said.

Marcos said the national government is working with local government units (LGUs) in the country -- from Luzon to Visayas and Mindanao -- to achieve the government's housing target.

The President thanked the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), the San Fernando City government, and the Social Housing Finance Corp. (SFHC) for spearheading the project.

"Magtulungan po tayo. Pairalin natin ang bayanihan sa lahat ng oras. Ito ang susi sa sama-sama nating pag-ahon mula sa pagsubok na ating kinahaharap," he said.

Located in Barangay Del Carmen, Crystal Peak States is a 9.8 hectare multistory project that can shelter more than 8,300 families both from the public and private sectors, including overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), as well as police and military personnel.

The housing project, being developed by SFHC, is composed of 30 12-story buildings with a mix of 25- and 28-square meter units to give future residents flexible options depending on their needs.

It features various amenities for social and physical wellness such as shophouses, commercial areas, clubhouses, basketball courts, and swimming pools.

The housing project under 4PH in nearby Minalin and Candaba were also presented to the President by the respective local chief executives, which they said could benefit more than 10,000 Kapampangans from various sectors.

The St. Andrews Residences will be built in a 5.7-hectare land in Bgy. Mandasig, Candaba, Pampanga. It will be composed of 18 mid-rise buildings with around 5,000 units.

On the other hand, the Minalin Housing Project will be situated in a 7-hectare land in Bgy. Sta. Maria, where around 24 low and mid-rise buildings will be constructed with housing units totaling 5,016.

The three projects will significantly reduce Pampanga's huge housing need pegged by officials at 91,000 units.

The DHSUD leads the implementation of the Pambansang Pabahay, which aims to address the 6.5 million housing backlog in the country.

The housing agency has so far signed more than 150 memoranda of understanding (MOU) under the program, which will be carried out in 28 locations across the Philippines. | PND

Science and Research / Use of Charcoal
June 28, 2023, 03:52:51 PM
This is another secret of Charcoal. Charcoal is something you must have on you all the time. In Case you never paid much attention, it's time to do it.

Here are the benefits of charcoal you never thought of:

1. Does your shoe smell bad? Just buy charcoal and put it in it.

2.  Do you have a bad smell in your room? Drop Charcoal that you think the smell might come from.

3. Does your refrigerator or freezer have a smell? Put a piece of coal in it.

4. Do you have a strong body smell? Just make a charcoal powder and use. Charcoal is very good to get rid of the bad smell.

5. Have you ever wondered why your parents always pick up the ashes of the coal pot to pour in the hen or toilet before sweeping? It was to get rid of the smell.

6. If you want your vegetables to be fresh all the time, make a solution with charcoal and leave your vegetables.

7. Nowadays, people complain about the use of fertilizer on plants and vegetables, making them unhealthy and toxic. If you have charcoal, you don't have to worry about it. All you need to do is leave the vegetables in a charcoal solution during the night and it will take care of the toxins.

8. If you suspect that a food contains too many chemicals, simply drop them in a charcoal solution for a few hours and you are ready to leave.

9. If you want to whiten your teeth, don't pay attention to all these ads on chemicals and bleaching technology. Just get charcoal and catch a plantain stem. Make a powder on charcoal, crush the end of the plantain stem, soak in charcoal powder and brush your teeth with a week.

10. Did your peanut or palm soup go wrong? You don't have to worry about everything. Just put it on fire and drop a piece of charcoal. This will extract all the bad taste and smell and restore soup to its fresh state.

11. Do you have a hangover of a drink with friends the previous night? Just have charcoal with you and chew on it. To make it more effective, make it a nice solution and drink. You're good at it.

10 LESSONS FROM RICH DAD, POOR DAD

1. Manage your money:

Many people are able to make money, but not everyone learns how to manage it properly.

Financial intelligence starts with learning the difference between assets and liabilities.
ensure that you have more money coming in than going out, which is what will make you richer.

2. Pay Yourself First:

Most people earn and spend their salary paying bills.

A rich person always pays himself.

Invest in
- Courses
- Books
- Experiences

3. Saving and investing are different:

Saving is considered a must and a good habit.

You need to invest your money instead where it grows at a higher rate than inflation.

Saving weaken the purchasing power while investment will increase the value of your money.

4. Learn taxes:

If you are rich and lack financial literacy, you will end up paying a lot of taxes.

The rich have their investments often in learning, so they have to pay fewer taxes.

You need to have financial IQ in different areas like accounting, investing, market forces, and the law.

5. Do not rely on a single source of income:

Most people rely on a single source of income.

You can never become rich and financially secure if you are one of those.

You should have 2 to 3 streams from where you earn money.

You will be in better position even if you face some financial crisis if you multiple income streams.

6. you become smarter by taking risk:

Unless you take a risk, you cannot grow, grow as in grow really big.

You should take a risk because some opportunities in life have the potential to change the course of your life.

7. Everyone needs to be a financially literate:

Intelligence solves problems and produces money.

Money without financial intelligence is money soon gone.

The sad part about the education system around the world is that it teaches to work for money.

The system never teaches how to make, manage, and keep the money.

You should learn how to create wealth and make a plan to achieve financial freedom.

8. Mindset is everything:

Poor dad always used to say" we can't afford this "whereas rich dad teaches him to replace it with "how you can afford it?".

In This way, replace your negative attitude into positive and you will definitely  find ways to do achieve that target.

Your attitude and mindset matters the most.

The first and foremost thing to do anything is that you must believe in yourself.

9. Surround yourself with people smarter than you:

There is a very popular saying 'If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.'

If you want to be smart, surround yourself with people smarter than you.

10. Control emotions:

The situation only gets worse for you when you are not able to control your emotions.

The statement holds good for both personal and professional life situations.

You should learn to control your emotional balance and be focused on accomplishing your financial goals.

Fitch Ratings Raises China's 2023 GDP Forecast

Fitch Ratings has raised its 2023 GDP forecast for China from 5.2% to 5.6%, citing a swifter-than-expected reopening rebound in the first quarter.

The ratings agency said that China's economy is expected to grow by 5.5% in 2022, before accelerating to 5.6% in 2023.

Fitch said that the Chinese government's stimulus measures are starting to take effect, and that the country's export sector is also benefiting from the global economic recovery.

However, Fitch warned that there are still risks to the outlook, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

"The Chinese economy has surprised on the upside in the first quarter," said Brian Zhang, a senior director at Fitch Ratings. "The recovery has been driven by a combination of factors, including the government's stimulus measures, the reopening of the economy, and the strong performance of the export sector."

Zhang said that Fitch expects China's GDP growth to continue to accelerate in the second quarter, but that the pace of growth is likely to moderate in the second half of the year.

"The risks to the outlook include the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and the potential for a sharp rise in interest rates in the United States," said Zhang.

Despite these risks, Fitch said that it is still confident in China's long-term growth prospects.

"China remains one of the world's fastest-growing economies," said Zhang. "We believe that the government's reforms will help to sustain growth in the long term."

The decision by Fitch Ratings to raise its GDP forecast for China is a positive sign for the Chinese economy. It suggests that the economy is on track to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and that the government's stimulus measures are having the desired effect. However, there are still risks to the outlook, and it remains to be seen how the economy will perform in the second half of the year.

World's First 16-MW Offshore Wind Turbine Takes Shape in China

Installation of the world's first 16-MW offshore wind turbine began on Tuesday in waters off southeastern China's Fujian province. The wind turbine, which is being developed by China's State Power Investment Corporation, has three 123-meter-long blades that will allow it to generate an average of 66 million kWh of clean electricity per year. This is enough to meet the annual demand of 36,000 three-person households.

The wind turbine is part of a larger offshore wind farm project that is being developed by SPIC in Fujian. The project, which is expected to be completed in 2024, will have a total capacity of 500 MW.

The installation of the world's first 16-MW offshore wind turbine is a significant milestone in the development of offshore wind energy. It is a sign that the technology is maturing and becoming more cost-competitive. As the cost of offshore wind energy continues to decline, it is expected to play an increasingly important role in the global energy mix.

The Benefits of Offshore Wind Energy

Offshore wind energy has a number of advantages over other forms of renewable energy. First, it is a very reliable source of energy. The wind blows consistently offshore, so wind turbines can generate electricity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Second, offshore wind energy is a clean source of energy. It does not produce any emissions of greenhouse gases or other pollutants. Third, offshore wind energy is a scalable source of energy. As demand for electricity grows, more offshore wind turbines can be built to meet that demand.

The Future of Offshore Wind Energy

The global offshore wind market is growing rapidly. In 2021, global offshore wind capacity reached 51.7 GW. This is expected to more than double by 2030, reaching 115 GW. China is a major player in the global offshore wind market. It is currently the world's leading market for offshore wind installations. In 2021, China installed 10.3 GW of offshore wind capacity, accounting for 20% of global installations.

The installation of the world's first 16-MW offshore wind turbine in China is a sign that the country is committed to developing this clean and renewable energy source. As the cost of offshore wind energy continues to decline, it is expected to play an increasingly important role in China's energy mix.

The MIIT's decision to make the 6GHz band available for mobile communications is a major boost for the development of 5G and 6G in China. It will allow Chinese operators to deploy faster and more reliable networks, which will in turn benefit businesses and consumers.

The MIIT's decision is also significant for the global 5G and 6G ecosystem. By making the 6GHz band available, China is helping to ensure that there is a consistent global spectrum allocation for these technologies. This will make it easier for manufacturers to develop equipment that can be used in multiple countries, and it will also make it easier for operators to deploy 5G and 6G networks around the world.

The MIIT's decision is a positive development for the future of mobile communications. It will help to accelerate the deployment of 5G and 6G networks, and it will ultimately benefit businesses and consumers around the world.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, the 6GHz band also offers a number of other advantages, including:

It is relatively free of interference from other wireless technologies.

It can be used to provide high-quality mobile broadband services.

It can be used to support new applications, such as augmented reality and virtual reality.

The MIIT's decision to make the 6GHz band available for 5G and 6G is a major step forward for the development of these technologies. It is a clear indication that China is committed to leading the way in the global 5G and 6G race.

xQc Signs $100 Million Deal with Kick, Shaking Up the Video Game Streaming Industry

In a move that has sent shockwaves through the video game streaming industry, xQc has signed a $100 million contract with Kick. com. The deal, which is reportedly non-exclusive, is the largest ever signed by a video game streamer.

xQc, whose real name is Félix Lengyel, is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch. He has over 12 million followers on the platform and averages over 70,000 viewers per stream. His content typically consists of him playing video games, interacting with his chat, and hosting reality shows.

The deal with Kick is a major coup for the upstart streaming platform. Kick is still relatively new, but it has been growing rapidly in recent months. The platform is known for its focus on gaming content and its high-quality production values.

The deal with xQc is a sign that Kick is serious about competing with Twitch for the top spot in the video game streaming market. It is also a sign that the video game streaming industry is maturing and becoming more lucrative.

"This is a historic moment for the video game streaming industry," said Ryan Morrison, xQc's agent. "This deal shows that businesses are finally starting to recognize the value of this medium. Video game streaming is no longer just a hobby, it's a legitimate form of entertainment."

The deal with xQc is also likely to have a ripple effect throughout the video game streaming industry. Other top streamers are likely to be looking for similar deals, and this could lead to a bidding war between streaming platforms.

It remains to be seen what the long-term implications of this deal will be. However, there is no doubt that it is a watershed moment for the video game streaming industry.

What does this mean for the future of video game streaming?

The xQc deal is a major sign of the growing popularity and potential of video game streaming. It is also a sign that businesses are starting to take this medium seriously.

This deal is likely to have a number of implications for the future of video game streaming. First, it is likely to lead to more competition between streaming platforms. As more and more businesses enter the market, they will be looking to sign top streamers to exclusive deals. This could lead to a bidding war and higher salaries for streamers.

Second, the deal is likely to lead to an increase in the production values of video game streams. As more money is invested in this medium, we can expect to see more high-quality streams with better graphics, sound, and overall presentation.

Finally, the deal is likely to lead to a wider audience for video game streaming. As more people become aware of the potential of this medium, they will be more likely to tune in to watch streams. This could lead to a boom in the video game streaming industry.
