THE country’s unemployment rate further eased to 3.1 percent in December 2023, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024.In terms of magnitude, the number of unemployed Filipinos in December 2023 was estimated at 1.60 million, lower than the 2.22 million recorded in the same month lin 2022. Employment rate, on the other hand, rose to 96.9 percent from 95.7 percent in the same month last year. This translates to 50.52 million employed Filipinos for the month, higher than the 49 million Filipinos with jobs in December 2022.“We welcome the news of a record-low unemployment rate, signifying the economy’s sustained momentum and resiliency of our labor market,” said National Economic and Development Authority Secretary Arsenio Balisacan in a statement. “Further, the Marcos Administration is steadfast in its commitment to prioritize creating high-paying jobs to address the longstanding vulnerabilities in our country’s employment and lower the underemployment rate, an indicator of job quality. We will continue ramping up social and physical infrastructure investments and dramatically improve human capital to strengthen our people’s employment prospects.”Given these promising labor market conditions, Balisacan expressed confidence that these favorable trends will continue as the government pushes for more investments by creating an enabling policy and regulatory environment and relentlessly addressing constraints in critical areas identified by the private sector. These include the cost of energy and logistics, the ease of doing business, the competitiveness of the country’s labor force and the consistency of rules and regulations.Labor force participationThe PSA also reported that the country’s labor force participation rate, or the estimate of the economy’s active workforce, was posted at 66.6 percent or 52.13 million Filipinos aged 15 years old and over as of December 2023.Average weekly hours worked of an employed individual in December 2023 was estimated at 40.6 hours per week, higher than the 40.3 average hours per week posted in December 2022.Of the Filipinos with jobs, 6.01 million expressed the desire to have additional hours of work in their present job, or to have an additional job, or to have a new job with longer hours of work.More jobs were generated in the construction (777,000), agriculture and forestry (715,000), accommodation and food service activities (498,000), transportation and storage (174,000) and human health and social work activities (140,000) during the month.On the other hand, there were employment losses in the wholesale and retail trade (-660,000), administrative and support service activities (-250,000), and fishing and aquaculture (-159,000), financial and insurance activities (-132,000); and arts and entertainment (-16,000).The PSA also noted an increase in the youth underemployment rate, rising to 11.6 percent from 9.2 percent in the same period last year.“We will continue to advocate for interventions to support a more agile and adaptive workforce, such as the Apprenticeship Bill, Lifelong Learning Bill, and Enterprise Productivity Act. These efforts will complement the various initiatives to provide upgraded and expanded employment facilitation services to support our robust labor market,” Balisacan added.

Rep. Joel R. Chua (Manila, 3rd district), in a statement Wednesday, April 17, 2024, suggested that the style of National Government's Kadiwa, which sells discounted basic goods, could be applied to fuel subsidies for motorcycle riders, motorcycle taxis, tricycles, and public utility jeepneys (PUJs).Chua said the use of Pantawid Pasada debit may still continue or not if the DOE and DOTr succeed in finding partner gasoline stations.According to Chua, the DOE and DOTR will be responsible for choosing which fuel companies and stations shall sell the discounted fuel at the designated pumps. In consultation with the Department of Finance and Department of Budget and Management, they would also determine the amount of the discount and the budget.The lawmaker's proposal would expand the current coverage of targeted fuel subsidies for land transport, which are currently limited only to legitimate PUJs and tricycles who have Pantawid Pasada cards. "I am suggesting the expansion because the current coverage is too limited and does not include other Filipinos who are in the poor and low-income segments of our population," Chua said.The selling of the discounted fuel could also be done on a schedule, perhaps once a week or on Sundays, to avoid the high costs of daily sales, according to Chua. The lawmaker said if his proposal is adopted by the DOE and DOTr, the expanded fuel subsidies could be pilot tested in Manila and a few other cities and towns before being rolled out to other areas.Last Tuesday, April 16, oil companies implemented a minimal price hike.Pilipinas Shell, Cleanfuel and Seaoil implemented a P.95 per liter price increase for diesel, P.40 per liter for gasoline and P.85 per liter on kerosene.On Tuesday, April 9, these three oil companies implemented a P1.10 per liter price increase for gasoline, P1.55 per liter on diesel and P1.40 per liter on kerosene.Last week, DOE-Oil Industry Management Bureau Director Rino Abad said the continuous increase of oil prices may be expected in the coming months considering the higher demand from China, India and the United States, which were the top three oil consumers.Abad said the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries has also implemented a production cut of 2.2 million barrels per day, affecting the global oil supply. These oil price hikes in the past two weeks have prompted Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines to file a petition before the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board asking for a P2 increase in the minimum fare of traditional jeepneys, raising it from P13 to P15.

(KAL) Legal na Operator ng Paghuhusga sa Pilipinas MOALBOAL Mayor Inocentes Cabaron has issued a stern warning to tourists in that southern town, particularly those engaged in water activities, to refrain from disturbing marine life.“We will not tolerate actions such as this,” said Cabaron after a video surfaced online last Monday, March 11, 2024, showing a female tourist touching a sea turtle while snorkeling in Panagsama Beach, one of Moalboal’s top tourist attractions. The video concerned netizens. It gained 3.4 million views as of 8 p.m. Friday, March 15.“Shoutout to the woman who can’t understand simple instructions. She’s been told numerous times that it’s ‘prohibited’ to touch the turtles. Not only did she touch them, she even pushed them,” the uploader under the TikTok handle “HomeWorkoutBasic” said in Pilipino. The incident reportedly happened on Saturday, March 9. “What happened to this woman? She’s not following the rules! She knows that touching sea turtles is not allowed,” another Facebook user said while sharing a SunStar Cebu post on the matter. Moalboal officials have since issued a reminder to the public on Wednesday, March 13, emphasizing the importance of respecting marine wildlife and refraining from any activities that may cause harm to them. Cabaron expressed disappointment saying that tourists are given a thorough briefing on proper conduct before participating in any activities. “They are told not to touch the marine life because we have a local ordinance that [protects] them. It is disappointing that despite the briefing and regular reminders, incidents like this happen,” said Cabaron.The mayor explained that there is a local ordinance in place that aims to protect marine life, and anyone caught violating the ordinance will be fined P2,500.The ordinance entitled “Institutionalizing and regulating the conduct of snorkeling and island hopping activities within the Pescador Island, marine protected areas, and other coastal areas within the municipal waters, and the establishment of the environmental user’s fee system” was passed on Sept. 27, 2021.Section 20 of the ordinance lists 13 violations, including a prohibition on touching any marine life.Moalboal officials are now looking for the tourist and her local guide that was seen in the video.“We treasure and protect our marine life because as a tourist town, it is a major factor in our economy. We will not tolerate actions such as this and we will ensure that the individual will be fined to discourage similar reckless actions,” Cabaron said.Wild animalsMylene Panuncial-Sadagnot, a marine biologist for 21 years and professor at Cebu Normal University, said turtles, like other wild animals, are not domesticated pets that go about and seek people’s attention at times.She also said touching turtles could provoke them to retaliate or bite if they feel agitated by the presence of humans viewed as a potential threat.Sadagnot observed that turtles in Moalboal do not necessarily reproduce there, as they primarily use the area as a feeding ground rather than a breeding site. Male turtles eventually migrate and depart for the breeding season, leaving female turtles accustomed to the environment.She explained the situation is dangerous for both humans and turtles as it could result in bites or wounds that could be severe for humans; and secondly, turtles might be vulnerable to poaching.Poaching refers to the illegal hunting, capturing, or killing of wildlife, typically for commercial gain. Additionally, the waters of Moalboal are part of the Tañon Strait Protected Seascape, located between the islands of Cebu and Negros. It is the largest marine protected area in the Philippines, covering 5,182 square kilometers.Under Presidential Proclamation 1234, which created the protected seascape in 1998, the entire Tañon Strait is protected, and all cetaceans are afforded full protection by local and national laws.Cabaron said the local tourism office is moving to improve the quality of snorkeling guides by having them accredited by the Department of Tourism. To achieve this, officials recently conducted a seven-day seminar for around 200 guides in Moalboal. The seminar mainly focused on teaching proper protocols in handling guests and marine life. / KJF, CDF

(KAL) licensed online casinos MOALBOAL Mayor Inocentes Cabaron has issued a stern warning to tourists in that southern town, particularly those engaged in water activities, to refrain from disturbing marine life.“We will not tolerate actions such as this,” said Cabaron after a video surfaced online last Monday, March 11, 2024, showing a female tourist touching a sea turtle while snorkeling in Panagsama Beach, one of Moalboal’s top tourist attractions. The video concerned netizens. It gained 3.4 million views as of 8 p.m. Friday, March 15.“Shoutout to the woman who can’t understand simple instructions. She’s been told numerous times that it’s ‘prohibited’ to touch the turtles. Not only did she touch them, she even pushed them,” the uploader under the TikTok handle “HomeWorkoutBasic” said in Pilipino. The incident reportedly happened on Saturday, March 9. “What happened to this woman? She’s not following the rules! She knows that touching sea turtles is not allowed,” another Facebook user said while sharing a SunStar Cebu post on the matter. Moalboal officials have since issued a reminder to the public on Wednesday, March 13, emphasizing the importance of respecting marine wildlife and refraining from any activities that may cause harm to them. Cabaron expressed disappointment saying that tourists are given a thorough briefing on proper conduct before participating in any activities. “They are told not to touch the marine life because we have a local ordinance that [protects] them. It is disappointing that despite the briefing and regular reminders, incidents like this happen,” said Cabaron.The mayor explained that there is a local ordinance in place that aims to protect marine life, and anyone caught violating the ordinance will be fined P2,500.The ordinance entitled “Institutionalizing and regulating the conduct of snorkeling and island hopping activities within the Pescador Island, marine protected areas, and other coastal areas within the municipal waters, and the establishment of the environmental user’s fee system” was passed on Sept. 27, 2021.Section 20 of the ordinance lists 13 violations, including a prohibition on touching any marine life.Moalboal officials are now looking for the tourist and her local guide that was seen in the video.“We treasure and protect our marine life because as a tourist town, it is a major factor in our economy. We will not tolerate actions such as this and we will ensure that the individual will be fined to discourage similar reckless actions,” Cabaron said.Wild animalsMylene Panuncial-Sadagnot, a marine biologist for 21 years and professor at Cebu Normal University, said turtles, like other wild animals, are not domesticated pets that go about and seek people’s attention at times.She also said touching turtles could provoke them to retaliate or bite if they feel agitated by the presence of humans viewed as a potential threat.Sadagnot observed that turtles in Moalboal do not necessarily reproduce there, as they primarily use the area as a feeding ground rather than a breeding site. Male turtles eventually migrate and depart for the breeding season, leaving female turtles accustomed to the environment.She explained the situation is dangerous for both humans and turtles as it could result in bites or wounds that could be severe for humans; and secondly, turtles might be vulnerable to poaching.Poaching refers to the illegal hunting, capturing, or killing of wildlife, typically for commercial gain. Additionally, the waters of Moalboal are part of the Tañon Strait Protected Seascape, located between the islands of Cebu and Negros. It is the largest marine protected area in the Philippines, covering 5,182 square kilometers.Under Presidential Proclamation 1234, which created the protected seascape in 1998, the entire Tañon Strait is protected, and all cetaceans are afforded full protection by local and national laws.Cabaron said the local tourism office is moving to improve the quality of snorkeling guides by having them accredited by the Department of Tourism. To achieve this, officials recently conducted a seven-day seminar for around 200 guides in Moalboal. The seminar mainly focused on teaching proper protocols in handling guests and marine life. / KJF, CDF

A MANILA lawmaker has urged the Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of Transportation (DOTr) enter into agreements with select and strategically located gasoline stations to sell discounted fuel to drivers in the public transport sector. Rep. Joel R. Chua (Manila, 3rd district), in a statement Wednesday, April 17, 2024, suggested that the style of National Government's Kadiwa, which sells discounted basic goods, could be applied to fuel subsidies for motorcycle riders, motorcycle taxis, tricycles, and public utility jeepneys (PUJs).Chua said the use of Pantawid Pasada debit may still continue or not if the DOE and DOTr succeed in finding partner gasoline stations.According to Chua, the DOE and DOTR will be responsible for choosing which fuel companies and stations shall sell the discounted fuel at the designated pumps. In consultation with the Department of Finance and Department of Budget and Management, they would also determine the amount of the discount and the budget.The lawmaker's proposal would expand the current coverage of targeted fuel subsidies for land transport, which are currently limited only to legitimate PUJs and tricycles who have Pantawid Pasada cards.
