The Philippine Atmo-

the low pressure area is

Mercado said the LPA

THE Senate unanimously approved on third and final
reading its version of the proposed Bangsamoro Basic
Law (BBL) after midnight yesterday, following marathon
deliberations that started Wednesday afternoon prior to
the closing of the Second Regular Session of the 17th
Congress.
The chamber approved Senate Bill 1717, or the Act
Providing for the Basic Law on the Bangsamoro Auton-
omous Region, with 21 affirmative votes and no negative
votes after ending deliberations at around 1 am.
Only senators Manny Pacquiao and Leila de Lima,
who is currently detained, were not present during the
final deliberations and thus were not part of the voting.
The Lower House approved its own version of the
BBL Wednesday afternoon with a vote of 227-11 with

CTIVISTS would launch the so-called “Black
Friday Protest” here today even as it starts a
signature campaign for the repeal the Tax Re-
form for Acceleration and Inclusion (Train) Law.
Wildon Barros, spokesman of Bayan Muna and
Kilusang Mayo Uno in northern Mindanao, said vari-
ous groups would be doing the rounds in workplaces,
farms and urban poor communities to gather signatures
against RA 10963, otherwise known as the Train Law.
Barros said the campaign of the “Stop Train Net-
work” is aimed at showing the Duterte administration
that most citizens don’t want the Train Law and they
want to get rid of it because it has made prices of basic
commodities to shoot up to astronomical levels.
“Ang among pirma nga matigom dinhi, among

Duterte says govt
needs more money
PRESIDENT Duterte has emphasized the need to im-
plement the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion
(Train) law to raise more funds to run the country.
“We have, all the while, (been) having problems, in-
flation is always there. There are many reasons, but also
actually one of them is the Train. But I need money to
run the country,” Duterte said on Wednesday.
Some lawmakers call for suspension of the additional
excise tax brought by Train law implementation while
others suggest postponing implementation of the entire
law amid rising inflation rate.

When technocrats fail
PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has, on
numerous times, told his audiences that
Plateau’s Voice the most that he hates
are figures because
he hates mathematics
very much.
With this pro-
nouncements, he has
virtually given the
free reign on Finance
Secretary Carlos
Cesar Gorillo Dominguez II to
man the way we plan
to increase the country’s finances no
matter whether they bring disaster to the
country or not.
I am talking about this dangerous
“Train” law of the Finance secretary.
This is supposed to free six million
workers from paying their personal
income taxes and recover the billions in
losses from the 100-percent collectible
income taxes and slap this on oil, sugary
drinks and other commodities.
But how about the other 94 million
of the population that do not have fixed
incomes? They will be the ones to bear
the brunt of the losses of the income tax
because the taxes that will have to be
A never mind governance
NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental -- What
can be better to a foreign policy that
develops strong ties and
strengthens friendly re-
lations with a giant and
powerful neighbor?
Where foreign invest-
ments are promised
to rise sky high to
provide employment
to the poor, hungry
William Adan and jobless? And
foreign assistance in the building of road
and bridges, railways and other trans-
port systems will come like manna from
heaven?
Never mind that in exchange of all
these promises is the deafening silence
of the vassal-behaving state on the en-
croachment of the giant into the latter’s
sovereign territory, constructing sur-
reptitiously military bunkers, and safe
havens for the giant’s naval warships
and air bombers.
Never mind if the initial billion pesos
of promised investments came in the
form of smuggled illegal drugs (meth-
amphetamine) that has provided busi-
ness opportunities to local drug lords
and death-courting employment as drug
pushers to the poor and jobless.
Liaison or ‘layason’?
A LIAISON officer, in its strict sense,
is one who makes it possible for two or-
Hapsay na bai! ganizations or groups
to work together and
provide information to
each other. He or she
serves as the go be-
tween so two organi-
zations could commu-
nicate and coordinate
their activities. The
Egay Uy main job, it seems, is to
establish a working relation-
ship, typically in order to cooperate on a
matter of mutual concern.
A sample job description of a real
liaison officer requires the job holder
to be organized, efficient, communica-
tive (not the chika kind) to coordinate
between the employer’s or home office’s
business and other entities.
The purpose of the position is to
streamline operations and resolve issues

recovered will be imposed on the most
important product which is oil and any
increase in taxes on this very important
product will definitely drive the prices of
basic commodities upward.
In other words, inflation will definite-
ly result. Why? Because transportation
means the basic movement of goods,
people and services and any increase
in oil will result in increases in fares,
trucking and shipping costs and eventu-
ally, on the goods carried by these trucks
and ships.
Simple arithmetic. You cannot simply
throw a basket of eggplants in the air
from Lantapan, Bukidnon, so that it will
land in Cogon, Cagayan de Oro City.
You will load them in trucks, travel up
to 130 kilometers and every increase in
cost per kilometer will mean increase in
the price per kilo of that eggplant. And
so with other vegetables. And so with
rice. And so with flour. Increase in the
price of oil equals inflation.
Not only that, workers will have
to pay additional fares. Electric compa-
nies will increase their costs of oil and
impose higher rates on consumers, and
See GORILLO/p.7
Never mind if, as a consequence,
millions of young people’s lives are
ruined by addiction.
Never mind if the eradication of the
drug menace is one the centerpiece pro-
grams of the regime.
Never mind, never mind, as long as
the head of the vassal state is assured of
his perch in power no matter what.
So what do we get from a never-mind
governance? Nothing but promises and
contradictions and more promises of an
imagined paradise from its build-and-
build program. But, nothing has been
built so far except those friendly Chinese
military structures in the country’s Scar-
borough Shoals and the “eco-friendly”
resort hotel in the midst of the diminish-
ing forest of Boracay island. Of course
in the pipeline is the Chinese Galaxy
mega $500-million Casino Resort Hotel
that can accommodate accordingly 5000
guests at any given time which is to rise
in a 26-hectare island property in 2019.
Never mind if the island is ordered
closed to undergo massive rehabilitation
because it already stinks, its carrying
capacity having been breached long time
ago.
With the clear and imminent danger

(not create them as in cases when the
supposed liaison spreads rumors picked
up along the way or which the liaison
himself or herself started). In a way, the
purpose is to improve communications,
not to spread chika, and generally ensure
that the working relationship is mutually
beneficial and harmonious.
Loosely, as used in some government
offices, liaison refers to an employee
who is supposed to be a go-between for
his or her home office and other offices
in order to serve and receive documents,
follow up action on certain documents,
or in other words, “tig” as in tig-follow
up, tig-hatud papeles, tig-papirma, tig-
hatud supplies, etc..
But are liaison officers, as the posi-
tion title is loosely used, really necessary
in government offices? The answer that I
can offer is both yes and no.
Offhand, I thought that “liaison

Impossibly
impossible
IN “Christopher Robin,” which will be
shown in August 2018, Winnie-the-Pooh
says, “People say nothing is impossible,
but I do nothing every
Ms. Behavin’
day.”
“Winnie-the-
Pooh” is a book writ-
ten by A.A. Milne and
was first published
in 1926. Almost
100 years later and
Winnie-the-Pooh still
remains relevant. See Netnet
how a book endures? Camomot
Reading one book
may take 100 years if you’re checking
out Facebook, playing video games
and watching Netflix instead of reading
that book. The usual movie, however,
may take less than three hours to watch.
So, between book and movie, the latter
always wins if you don’t have time to
read.
Well, let’s compare pa more. Water
vs. soda. Yogurt vs. ice cream. Sen.
Manny Pacquiao vs. Lucas Mathysse.
This is not about the midterm elec-
tions—not yet, anyway. This is about
rehydration and, yes, Sen. Pacquiao
belongs there because as a boxer with
multiple championship belts, he does
know how to rehydrate.
At home, water may be from the fau-
cet or the dispenser although for some
areas in Cagayan de Oro last weekend,
the faucet was as dry as the Sahara. If
it’s 32 degrees Celsius and there’s no
water... Whew.
By Monday afternoon, however, the
weather went from hot and humid to
lightning and thunderstorms. Ano ba tal-
aga, Kuya? Confused much? Which can
be you—confused—while watching a
superhero movie if you’ve not watched
any other superhero movie.
Spoiler alert! There’s this scene
in “Deadpool 2” where the real Ryan
Reynolds is reading the “Green Lantern”
script and then, Deadpool, who’s played
by Reynolds, shoots him in the head
and says, “You’re welcome, Canada.”
Reynolds is from Canada, in case you’re
wondering. He also starred as “Green
Lantern” in 2011, that’s where he met
his now-wife Blake Lively, which could
be the movie’s only redeeming quali-
ty because it was, hmmm, what’s the
word? Boring.
Yup, a boring superhero movie. How
is that possible?
Here’s another way to make the
impossible possible. Janet Lim-Napoles.
Does the name still ring a bell? If it
doesn’t, let’s borrow “Deadpool 2” Ca-
ble’s time machine and Doctor Strange’s
Time Stone to return to July 12, 2013
when Napoles and the P10-billion pork
barrel scam became breaking news. All
along we thought graft and corruption
fled to Hawaii at the height of the 1986
People Power, and then, there’s the
pork barrel scam to prove that it’s still
possible.
For a while there, it did seem like
Napoles would finally have a brighter
future when she was placed under the
Witness Protection Program but that has
been removed as her perk and she’s now
back to where the Pinoy believes she
belongs.
The pork barrel scam might have
been overtaken in popularity by the
Marawi siege, “Tokhang,” extrajudicial
killings, Boracay’s rehabilitation, Buhay
Carinderia and the other reported she-
nanigans at the usually fun Department
of Tourism, top it all off with the shock
and awe heaped on the news that Tito

so with water companies. And
so with construction suppliers.
Then follows the increase in
house rentals. In other words,
what the government elimi-
nated in income taxes from
workers, the resulting inflation
would be definitely higher in
additional costs of living than
the taxes that the government
exempted them to pay. Wrong
arithmetic!
And here comes govern-
ment agents inspecting fuel
retailers. Of course, they have
to increase their prices because
they will stop their business if
they incur losses.
Some government officials
are coming out on TV that the
government is ready with dole-
outs to poor Filipinos who may
be affected by the Train law.
But here comes people from the
Department of Social Welfare
and Development (DSWD)
asking more understanding
because about eight million
recipients did not receive their
share yet.
What kind of idea is this?
You impose higher costs of
living and then give back to
compensate them? This idea
is impossible to implement be-
cause it is very hard to pinpoint
who are really affected given
the 7,100 islands that we have.
We simply have no personnel
to make the survey.
And the funny thing is
that there are proposals to
suspend the implementation
of the Train Law. This another
crazy idea. You cannot do it.
Train is already a law and the
implementing rules and regu-
lations have come out and it is
very hard to untangle the whole
implemented system.
Here comes Diokno of the
Department of Budget and
Management (DBM) saying
that it is at the great disadvan-
tage for the Philippine economy
to suspend it. That is right be-
cause the income resulting from
the Train Law has already been
programmed to cover to the
costs of so many government
programs that need billions and
billions of pesos such as the
free college education in state
universities, the doubling of
salaries in the Armed services
and the “Build Build Build”
program.
With these huge need for
government funds for a gov-
ernment that programs billions
of cash needs, all of us must
already expect massive infla-
tion in the coming months and
years.
We dreamed so much be-
yond our means and we are
now starting to pay the price for
those impossible dreams.
I am getting very afraid!
Adan
From page 6
in West Philippine Sea, the
worsening economy driven to
the drain by the out-of-control
rampaging anti-poor Train, and
the unsettling political atmo-
sphere, the country is in bad
form, to say the least. But the
President is not worried nor is
afraid because he had solicited
and accordingly got the support
and assurance of bosom friend
Xin Jinping that he remains in
place and that China will never
invade the Philippines, as if it
has not done it yet.
The future is bleak. It has
never been bright anyway, said
some. But if our primus leader
continues to waggle in the dark
and is continuously egged by
his millions of blind followers
to push through the darkness,
how far and how long can we
see the glint of hope?

officers” may no longer be
necessary if those who perform
functions or tasks as part of a
process will only be conscious
that their outputs are the inputs
of other offices or personnel,
hence they should not wait to
be followed up. However, I
then saw that transactions in
government offices, those that
really do their mandates, are
simply voluminous that what
I thought may not be perfectly
workable.
The tasks of liaison officers
must therefore be redefined
to for it to do justice to the
position title assigned to the
function. This is because there
are supposed-liaison officers
who merely deliver or retrieve
documents from the mother
office to another, vice versa, but
do not add value to that phase
of the document flow.
For example, when the
“liaison” delivers the payroll
of the employees of his or her
home office, she should know
more details beyond the mere
act of delivery of documents,
e.g., when will the pay be avail-
able, what other requirements
must the employees submit to
complete the process, or wheth-
er the documents delivered
contain the required signatures.
There are transactions that
are not completed despite the
delivery of documents because
the supposed “liaison” does not
add value to the act of delivery,
such that when asked, all she
could mutter would be, “gida-
la na man nako sa didto ang
papel.” And what makes this
worse is when the attention
of the supposed “liaison” is
not even called by the head of
office.
It is always best to do one’s
job well. Otherwise the posi-
tion title better be changed to
“layason.”

From page 6
Sotto is the new Senate Presi-
dent, but the scam should never
be taken lightly. It should serve
as a lesson for those attempt-
ing to steal from the national
treasury.
It’s indeed alarming to learn
that P500 and P1,500 were
allegedly distributed for the
recent barangay elections. The
candidates who were giving
away that much moolah would
have to recoup that somehow in
the future.
President Rody Duterte’s
speeches that are often laden
with p***ng in* and the way
he has been firing government
officials lately have not exactly
stopped drug addicts from us-
ing drugs nor discouraged some
government pehpohl from earn-
ing “commissions.” Perhaps
the perks are way much higher
than the fear of getting caught.
His administration, though,
is bent on increasing govern-
ment funds, through the Tax
Reform for Acceleration and
Inclusion (Train), for its “Build,
Build, Build” program, and
of course there’s the skeptical
and cynical Pinoy suspecting
a certain percentage of these
funds will be diverted into
undeserving pockets.
The Train’s overall effect on
the madlang pehpohl is a work
in progress as it began only five
months ago, on Jan. 1. Train
2 may also be implemented
within this year, so, expect
the opposition to again offer
suggestions to make it more
palatable to the Pinoy.
But stopping Train’s prog-
ress at this point may only result
to confusion as businesses and
accountants have already ad-
opted the new tax law.
Remember when red meat
was considered as bad for the
diet? Now, the ketogenic diet
says red meat is okay. So, here’s
the dieter going from low-fat to
low-carb to no-sugar to no-arti-
ficial sweetener as health gurus
change their minds every year.
Even the popular “An apple
a day keeps the doctor away”
is morphing into an egg a day
keeps the doctor away. So con-
fusing. And the same thing can
happen to Train which, by the
way, has not exactly stopped
people from buying cars, fuel,
cigarettes, alcohol, soda and
fruit juices, some of the items
whose prices have increased
due to excise taxes. Call it the
Pinoy resilience.

confused on why a Winnie-the-
Pooh movie is titled “Christo-
pher Robin,” here’s unsolicited

Kadamay, for its part, called

Bill 7653 that is being pushed

Lower House.
The proposal seeks the
following:
• restoration of the previous
excise tax base in the National
Internal Revenue Code in order
so that there would be “zero
tax” on fuel other petroleum
products;
• scrapping of excise taxes
on sugar-sweetened beverages;
• removal of provisions on
the distribution of incremental
income, specifically, the 70
percent for the “Build, Build,

for social measures;
• scrapping of the personal
exemption amounting to P50
thousand, and P25 thousand for
the dependent;
• restoration of the val-
ue-added tax exemption on
selling of electricity from
power-generation companies,
transmission by any entity,
and distribution companies,
including electric cooperatives;
• restoration of the val-
ue-added tax exemption for
low-cost housing even beyond
January 2021; and
• restoration of the
three-percent tax exemption
for cooperatives, self-employed
and professionals with gross
receipts of P2 million or lower.

The Kilusang Mayo Uno in

Moro Islamic Liberation Front

Agreement on the Bangsamo-

The proposed act would
establish a new autonomous

Autonomous Region of the
Bangsamoro that would re-
place the current Autonomous
Region in Muslim Mindanao

The approval of both
chambers of Congress came
after President Duterte certi-
fied the measure as urgent.
The President’s certifica-
tion was vital in the proposed
bill’s passage as it did away
with the three-day period be-
tween the second and third

After approval on third and
final reading, the bill would
go through bicameral confer-
ence committee meetings to
reconcile the conflicting pro-
visions of the two legislative
chambers.
Finally, the final version
of the bill would be ratified
in plenary by both chambers
before being sent to the Office
of the President for Duterte’s
signature.
After the voting, Senate
President Vicente Sotto III
immediately appointed Senate
Majority Leader Juan Miguel

BBL in the chamber, to head

Other members appointed
to the bicam are Senate Mi-

tors Aquilino Martin Pimentel

The bicameral conference
committee is expected to tack-

ing the six-week recess with
the aim of ratifying the final

Police to secure schools in Davao Region on first day of classes
DAVAO City — The Police
Regional Office (PRO-11)
will deploy a “maximum
number” of personnel to
secure public and private
schools in Davao Region
for the opening of classes
on June 4, PRO 11 spokes-
person Chief Insp. Mil-
grace Driz said.
Driz said at least two
police personnel will be
assigned to each school to
ensure the security of the
students, but the number
may increase depending
on the need.
She said every police
station will help in the
cleanup drive and provide
information on how crim-
inals operate to strengthen
the “Ligtas balik Eskwela.”
She said police will pa-
trol major routes leading to
all schools and within their
vicinity to prevent bully-
ing and protect students
from getting victimized by
“budol-budol” (swindling).
She said they will es-
tablish Police Assistance
Desks (PADs) in all school
campuses to provide public
safety and security cov-
erage, and deploy explo-
sive and ordnance disposal
units.
“We encourage ev-
eryone to report any in-
cidents of bullying and
other street crimes to
police officers assign in
your respective PADs to
the nearest police stations
and their hotline numbers
or to the national emer-
gency hotline numbers
911,” she said.
Police will direct traf-
fic as well as assist the
pedestrians in crossing the
Editor: Cong B. Corrales
streets, she said.
Driz added they have
involved communities in
public safety awareness to
enhance the collaboration
between the security sector
and the stakeholders.
She said they have
been directed by the PRO-
11 director Manuel Gaer-
lan “to keep our alertness
and vigilance to maintain
peace and secure all stu-
21
dents in all schools of the
region.”
She said the police will
coordinate with the local
government units to pro-
hibit the overloading of
public utility vehicles to
prevent road crashes.
The Department of
Education 11 has yet to
release the number of en-
rollees in the region. (min-

DEPARTMENTS of trade and
agriculture are seriously look-
ing into the feasibility of putting
suggested retail prices (SRPs) on
major agricultural products.
In an emergency meeting of
the National Price Coordinating
Council Wednesday, Department
of Agriculture (DA) Undersecre-
tary Ariel Cayanan said the move
to put SRPs on agricultural prod-
ucts is a joint initiative of De-
partment of Trade and Industry
(DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez
and Agriculture Secretary Em-
manuel Piñol.

THE Department of Finance
(DOF) on Tuesday said that the
country’s nine-notch drop in
competitiveness ranking could
serve as a “wake-up call”, but

They do not have savings
since their daily income in the
market was hardly enough for
their daily needs.
“It was embarrassing to beg
people to lend us some money,
but we do not have the choice
and it is sad,” said Saturnina
said in local dialect.
“It was when CARD came
here [Montevista] that I felt
like there is hope to be allevi-
ated from poverty,” she added.
In 2007, Saturnina joined
Center for Agriculture and Ru-
backed up by actual data.
The IMD World Competi-
tiveness Report showed that
the Philippines ranked 50th this
year, down from the 41st spot
in the 2017 survey, suggesting
it had the “most significant de-
cline” in Asia.
“The reasons for such drop
include a decline in tourism and
employment, the worsening of
public finances and a surge in
concerns about the education
system,” the IMD report stated.
Finance Undersecretary and
chief economist Gil Beltran said
the ratings methodology em-
ployed by IMD “mechanically
ranks cold numbers without un-
derstanding the dynamics of the
economy”, noting that bench-

She started with a P3,000
loan and added it as an addi-

“From that initial financial
assistance, I was able to grow it

Saturnina.

marks were not even used to
gauge relative performance.
“The result is that rankings
tend to be volatile... Neverthe-
less, the dip in ranking is still a
wakeup call, notwithstanding
its being a false alarm in some
respects,” Beltran said in a state-
ment.
Beltran argued that the coun-
try’s employed persons rose 6.1
percent in January 2018 and un-
employment rate dropped to 5.3
percent.
He added that the Philippines
welcomed 1.4 million interna-
tional visitors for the period of
January-February 2018, which
represents a 16.1 percent in-
crease compared to the same
period last year. It reached an

“If you do not give it, fine,”
he said.
For some skeptics, Duterte
reassured them that he would
never allow anyone to use tax-
payers’ money in illicit activities
and personal interest.
“Congress was quite skeptic
that it will just end up in corrup-
tion. That’s why I said, if that is
how you think of us, me, then
forget it,” Duterte said.
“I will look for other ways
of doing it, maybe longer. But
if they said I will steal, then I
don’t need that. What I can say,
no transaction of government
ever reaches me,” he said.
Despite the limited resourc-
es of government, Duterte ex-
pressed optimism that his ad-
ministration would be able to
bring modest improvement to
the Filipinos’ lives.
“We will maybe reach a
modest improvement. I do not
see any fantastic happening but
with the limited resources of our
country, many were helping. I
said a modest improvement of
what we have now would be
okay,” Duterte said.
Train is the first package of
the comprehensive tax reform
program envisioned by Duter-
te’s administration to correct a
number of deficiencies in the tax
system to make it simpler, fairer,
and more efficient.
According to the Depart-
ment of Finance (DOF), Train
pushed up inflation by only 0.4
percentage point, lower than its
projected 0.7 percentage point.
Other factors, such as the rise in
global oil prices and the better
collection of cigarette excise
taxes drove inflation to 4.5 per-

At present, Saturnina said
their lives have changed.
They learned how to save

through insurances offered by
the said institution.
They do not have much, but
they have enough for daily and
future needs. And more impor-
tantly, they have each other.

million tourists visiting the
country.
The chief economist also de-
scribed the IMD’s claim that
the state of public finance is
worsening as “simply laugh-
able” and a reflection of “gross
research incompetence” on its
part. “We won’t go to lengths to
dispute such statement regard-
ing our fiscal affairs but would
like to refer to other third party
assessments--credit rating agen-
cies and the IMF,” Beltran said.
“If the state of our public fi-
nance was really deteriorating,
credit rating agencies would
have taken notice and have
downgraded us accordingly.
But no, we’re still investment
cent in April this year.
As a result of Train, dispos-
able income rose about 15 per-
cent on average for wage-earn-
ers as income tax rates were
reduced, it added.
Finance Secretary Carlos
Dominguez III has warned that
suspending Train law would
derail the government’s “Build,
Build, Build” program which is
meant to sustain the economy’s
high-growth momentum.
He said suspension would
possibly even imperil the free
tuition program in state universi-
ties and colleges; salary hike for
police and military personnel;
and conditional cash transfer
program. (pna)

He said it is better to have
an assurance of safety from

hold a dialogue and agree on
how they could serve the inter-

the “toiling masses of workers
and peasants through the peace
negotiations and cooperation
under the principles of national
sovereignty, democracy and
social justice.”
During the Presidential Se-
curity Group (PSG) Change

ed that the IMD has failed to
distinguish between short-term
adjustments and long-term pros-
pects, and thus mistook the for-
mer for loss in competitiveness.
He cited as an example that
the 2017 current account surplus
earned the country a rank of 31st
in the current account measure
but the deficit the following year
resulted in a demerit in competi-
tiveness so that the country now
ranks 41st.

rency was also noted and was
associated with more instability.

that a country’s competitiveness

that,” he said.
He explained that he under-
stands the communist leader’s
ambivalence and that he knows
how he feels as they both lost
men to armed encounters.
The fifth round of GRP-ND-
FP peace talks was aborted
for the second time just two
days before it would resume on
Nov. 25 to 27, 2017 when the
President issued Proclamation
360, accusing the NDFP of
“lack of sincerity,” following a
New People’s Army (NPA) am-
bush that killed four-month-old
Walysha Manchorao and similar
incidents.
Duterte subsequently signed
Proclamation 374, designating
the CPP and its armed wing as
terrorist organizations.
Duterte said Sison is free to
leave the country “unhampered,
unfettered, unbridled” if the
talks would turn out unsuc-
cessful.
“But this time, sabi ko nga,
sabihin ko sa kanya, ‘Please,
if it is unsuccessful, please go
home.’ Ihatid ko siya sa airport.
Walang Aquino style na pa-
tayan, na barilin ko sa likod,”
he said.
Duterte reiterated that he
would not agree on a coalition
government with the communists.
“Come home and talk, and
as long as you do not ask a
coalition government, which I
cannot give and will never give,
you can come home and talk to
me and the others, and maybe
in the fullness of God’s time we
can achieve peace in our land,”
he said. (antonio colina iv of

TUCP calls
on wage
boards to
hold crisis
meetings
ASSOCIATED Labor Unions-
Trade Union Congress of the
Philippines (ALU-TUCP) called
on all Regional Tripartite Wages
and Productivity Boards nation-
wide to immediately convene for
the purpose of setting emergency
wage increases so workers can
cope with the surge in inflation.
In a statement Thursday,
ALU-TUCP national executive
vice president Gerard Seno urged
all 17 regional wage boards to
voluntarily meet and “declare the
existence of supervening condi-
tions” which will pave the way
for the granting of across-the-
board wage increases.
ALU-TUCP, touted as the
country’s largest labor organiza-
tion, said that it is “alarmed over
the heightened increases in the
prices of goods and commodities
in recent days.”
Due to rising inflation, the
purchasing power of the P512
minimum pay in Metro Manila,
which is the highest minimum
wage set anywhere in the coun-
try, has eroded by P186/day,
Seno explained.
This means that the actual val-
ue of the minimum wage in the
NCR today is only equivalent to
P326/day when compared to the
peso’s pre-inflation surge pur-
chasing power, Seno said citing
reports from the Bangko Sentral
and National Wages and Produc-
tivity Commission.
The labor group said that the
Filipino family consisting of five
members today needs a daily
budget of P1,200 just to get by.
Seno also appealed to Presi-
dent Rodrigo Duterte to extend a
PHP500 monthly subsidy to the
estimated 4 million minimum
wage earners to augment their
budget for purchasing grocery
items. (PNA)

growth in
digital deal
revenues
THE digital enterprise unit of local
telco giant PLDT, Inc. has regis-
tered a strong performance for the
first quarter of the year, driven by its
ongoing nationwide deployment of
digital services.
The information and communica-
tion technology revenues of PLDT
Enterprise reached P5.59 billion,
increasing by 6 percent from P5.3
billion for the same period last year.
The growth in revenues were
contributed by Data Center rev-
enues, which was higher by 14 per-
cent, Managed IT services up by 23
percent, and Cloud Infrastructure
and Software as a Service, which
increased by 51 percent.
Overall, data, broadband and
digital platforms continue to drive
PLDT’s revenue growth, increasing
by 13 percent to P18.3 billion at the
end of March 2018, accounting for
50 percent of total service revenues
for the first three months of the year.
“We continue to grow in the right
places -- specifically data and digi-
tal services,”said Jovy Hernandez,
Senior Vice President and head of
PLDT and Smart Enterprise Busi-
ness Groups. (PNA)

to public
INVESTING public can now
help the government raise
much-needed funds to sup-
port its massive infrastructure
program, with the Bureau of
Treasury’s (BTr) retail treasury
bonds (RTBs) offer from May
30 to June 8, 2018.
This is after the BTr accepted
P66 billion of the total P92.8
billion tenders in the initial auc-
tion of new three-year RTBs
with a coupon rate of 4.875
percent.
Due to the strong demand
for the said RTBs, the auction
committee decided to increase
the offered amount to P66 bil-
lion from the initial offering of
P30 billion.
“The increasing interest of
Filipinos in RTBs has been
particularly encouraging. We
are delighted that more and
more Filipinos are getting into
the habit of investing as well
as in taking part in the fund-
ing of the national government.
RTBs are a viable way for Fili-
pinos to achieve their financial
goals and prepare for the future,
while helping the Philippine
government in its financing
needs,” National Treasurer Ro-
salia De Leon said.
“We are confident that our
advocacy of getting more Fili-
pinos into the habit of investing
their hard-earned money could
enable them to reach their per-
sonal and financial goals, while
meaningfully contributing to
nation-building,” De Leon
added.
The public can invest for
a minimum of P5,000 in the
RTBs. Investors shall have peso
account with banks that are ac-
credited selling agents of RTBs.
