Philippines THE Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has recorded an increase in the February 2024 headline inflation, which clocked in at 3.4 percent.In a statement, the PSA said the February 2024 headline inflation, which is .6 percentage points higher than the 2.8 percent January 2024 inflation, was due to the higher year-on-year increase in the heavily-weighted food, non-alcoholic beverages and transport.The year-on-year increase in the heavily-weighted food and non-alcoholic beverages was recorded at 4.6 percent in February from 3.5 percent in January, while that of transportation increased from .3 percent to 1.2 percent.Higher inflation was also recorded on housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels, as well as alcoholic beverages and tobacco.The PSA noted that food and non-alcoholic beverages contributed 1.8 percentage points in the total February 2024 headline inflation, .5 percentage points from restaurant and accommodation services, and .2 percentage points from housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels.The national food inflation stood at 4.8 percent, higher than the 3.3 percent in January 2024, due to the slower year-on-year decrease in vegetables, tubers, plantains, cooking bananas and pulses index at 11.0 percent. Meat and other parts of slaughtered land animals index recorded a 0.7 percent annual increment.Cereals and cereal products, which include rice, corn, flour, bread and other bakery products, pasta products, and other cereals, also contributed to the upward trend of food inflation in the country which registered a faster annual increment of 17.0 percent in February from 16.3 percent in the previous month.Lower inflation rates, on the other hand, were noted in the following indices:* Clothing and footwear -- 3.6 percent from 3.8 percent;* Furnishings, household equipment and routine household maintenance -- 3.3 percent from 3.9 percent* Health -- 3.0 percent from 3.3 percent;* Information and communication -- 0.4 percent from 0.5 percent* Recreation, sport and culture -- 3.8 percent from 4.0 percent* Restaurants and accommodation services -- 5.3 percent from 5.5 percent* Personal care, and miscellaneous goods and services -- 3.8 percent from 4.0 percentThe following food groups also indicated lower annual growth rates:* Fish and other seafood -- 0.7 percent from 1.2 percent* Milk, other dairy products and eggs -- 3.5 percent from 5.6 percent;* Fruits and nuts -- 8.7 percent from 10.0 percent; and* Ready-made food and other food products not elsewhere classified -- 4.6 percent from 4.7 percentMeanwhile, in a statement, National Economic Development Authority (Neda) Secretary Arsenio Balisacan assured that the government is intensifying its efforts to mitigate the effects of the El Niño phenomenon, which is one of the factors seen to affect the increase of prices or goods and services at a certain period of time, and help keep the inflation rate within the government’s target.Balisacan noted rice as a top contributor to the month’s inflation, accounting for 2.1 percentage points, while the slight acceleration in meat inflation was attributed to price increases in pork and beef.“As we navigate the economic landscape, it is imperative that we remain vigilant and proactive in our approach to managing inflationary pressures. While we have seen some relief from certain inflation risks, we must not become complacent. The potential impact of a strong El Niño weather pattern on food prices is a significant concern for our community. Rising transportation costs, electricity rates, and volatile oil markets are putting pressure on household finances. Our team is actively formulating robust strategies with the concerned agencies in response to these challenges. We must be agile, adaptive, and forward-thinking,” he said.Balisacan said they are hopeful as international rice prices have started to ease, and local supply is expected to increase with the dry season harvest beginning this month through April. He said the Department of Agriculture (DA) is collaborating closely with the International Rice Research Institute to increase the country’s rice production.Meanwhile, the next phase of the vaccine test for African Swine Fever (ASF) is awaiting Food and Drug Administration approval.Once the ASF vaccine is proven efficacious, the government will roll out a vaccination campaign to help ensure adequate pork supply in the country.

THE Philippine National Police (PNP) assured on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, that sufficient safeguards are in place to prevent the spike of violent incidents involving firearms amid concerns in allowing civilians to own semi-automatic weapons.In a press conference, PNP Civil Security Group director Major General Benjamin Silo Jr. said the current safety measures being implemented by the Firearms and Explosives Office (FEO) before and after owning those firearms are more than sufficient to protect the public from possible harm.“The stand of CSG and FEO [is] there are more than sufficient safety measures before and after owning. I think we are just protecting the public of their rights because under the law, they are allowed. We cannot do otherwise but implement the different provisions of RA (Republic Act) 10591,” Silo said.“We just corrected the IRR (Implementing Rules and Regulations) because the law allows it. The IRR should also allow it. The problem here is way back 2018, the revised IRR limit the ownership to sports shooters only na hindi sinasabi ng batas. So we just simply amended ‘yung particular provision na yun. We go back to comply with the real intent of the framers of the law,” he added.Silo noted that among the requirements for acquiring firearms are passing the neuro-psychological tests and drug tests. Applicants are also required to submit a police clearance, which will ensure that they are not facing any criminal charges.“Right now, we requested the DIDM. Tinitingnan namin for five years ilan ba ang crimes na nacommit using 7.62 caliber down with semi-automatic mode. We are just waiting pero sa tingin ko very isolated itong paggamit,” he said.“Those who can own are only those who passed our neuro, drug test and then after passing and owning those firearms, mas marami hong restrictions kasi andaming grounds for revocation. If I have to mention, if they commit crimes involving the use of firearms automatically ground na po para irevoke yan. Kung convicted naman sila sa crimes involving moral turpitude or penalty exceeding six years, i-rerevoke din namin yan. Ngayon kung may naviolate silang any provision ng drug law natin referring to RA 9165, ground din yan sa revocation at kung pagmamay-ari na nila ito, dapat hindi nila dalhin sa labas kung wala silang PTCFOR (Permit to Carry Firearms Outside Residence),” he added.In a separate press conference, PNP chief of the Public Information Office Colonel Jean Fajardo said they are looking at the amendment of the IRR as a preventive measure against the proliferation of loose firearms, as there were individuals owning such caliber but failed to register it due to the earlier prohibition.As of February 16, 2024, there were 703,703 expired firearms registrations.“The intention really here is gusto rin natin inadvocate ‘yung responsible gun ownership dito sa ating ipinush na amendment and in fact, umaasa rin tayo na mga lisensya and registration for those civilians na in possession nitong mga ganitong klaseng baril ay maeenganyo na rin sila irehistro at kumuha ng License To Own and Possess Firearm (LTOPF) of this particular category para mabawasan ‘yung mga nandun sa category ng loose firearms kasi kapagka hindi niyo nairenew yung mga lisensya at rehistro ng mga baril, itong mga baril na ito will be categorized as loose firearms,” Fajardo said.Earlier, Senator Imee Marcos and Francis Tolentino criticized the PNP’s decision to allow civilians to own firearms not more than 7.62mm or M14.Marcos feared the possible increase in criminality, terrorism, arms smuggling, and widespread violence especially ahead of the 2025 elections.She said it also complicates the government’s effort to decommission rebel firearms."The PNP is shooting itself in the foot and compromising law enforcement efficiency and, above all, public safety," Marcos said."Do we want a proliferation of shooting violence like in the US? Who is lobbying for firearms manufacture and imports?" she asked.Meanwhile, Silo also said that the validity of License to Own and Possess Firearms has been extended to five years to 10 years, from one to two years.This means that instead of renewing LTOFP within one or two years, gun owners are given five to 10 years before renewal.

We are just waiting pero sa tingin ko very isolated itong paggamit,” he said.“Those who can own are only those who passed our neuro, drug test and then after passing and owning those firearms, mas marami hong restrictions kasi andaming grounds for revocation. If I have to mention, if they commit crimes involving the use of firearms automatically ground na po para irevoke yan. Kung convicted naman sila sa crimes involving moral turpitude or penalty exceeding six years, i-rerevoke din namin yan. Ngayon kung may naviolate silang any provision ng drug law natin referring to RA 9165, ground din yan sa revocation at kung pagmamay-ari na nila ito, dapat hindi nila dalhin sa labas kung wala silang PTCFOR (Permit to Carry Firearms Outside Residence),” he added.In a separate press conference, PNP chief of the Public Information Office Colonel Jean Fajardo said they are looking at the amendment of the IRR as a preventive measure against the proliferation of loose firearms, as there were individuals owning such caliber but failed to register it due to the earlier prohibition.As of February 16, 2024, there were 703,703 expired firearms registrations.“The intention really here is gusto rin natin inadvocate ‘yung responsible gun ownership dito sa ating ipinush na amendment and in fact, umaasa rin tayo na mga lisensya and registration for those civilians na in possession nitong mga ganitong klaseng baril ay maeenganyo na rin sila irehistro at kumuha ng License To Own and Possess Firearm (LTOPF) of this particular category para mabawasan ‘yung mga nandun sa category ng loose firearms kasi kapagka hindi niyo nairenew yung mga lisensya at rehistro ng mga baril, itong mga baril na ito will be categorized as loose firearms,” Fajardo said.Earlier, Senator Imee Marcos and Francis Tolentino criticized the PNP’s decision to allow civilians to own firearms not more than 7.62mm or M14.Marcos feared the possible increase in criminality, terrorism, arms smuggling, and widespread violence especially ahead of the 2025 elections.She said it also complicates the government’s effort to decommission rebel firearms."The PNP is shooting itself in the foot and compromising law enforcement efficiency and, above all, public safety," Marcos said."Do we want a proliferation of shooting violence like in the US? Who is lobbying for firearms manufacture and imports?" she asked.Meanwhile, Silo also said that the validity of License to Own and Possess Firearms has been extended to five years to 10 years, from one to two years.This means that instead of renewing LTOFP within one or two years, gun owners are given five to 10 years before renewal.
