DEPARTMENT of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Benhur Abalos welcomed the order of a Manila court on Saturday, February 10, 2024, for the cancellation of the passport of former Negros Oriental representative Arnolfo "Arnie'"Teves Jr., who has been implicated in the brazen murder of Negros Oriental governor Roel Degamo in March 2023.In an interview with reporters, Abalos said the court’s order only indicates that no one can be spared from justice.“Well, ganito lang ‘yan. ‘Yung tungkol sa pagkansela ng passport ni Mr. Teves, tandaan niyo ito, walang makakaligtas sa hustisya,” Abalos said.(Well, it's just like this. Regarding the cancellation of Mr. Teves' passport, remember this, no one will escape justice.)“Tandaan niyo ‘yan, sooner or later maski saan ka magtago hahanapin ka ng batas at mananagot ka sa mga kasalanan mo at yan ang sinasabi sa ating mga kababayan,” he added.(Remember that, sooner or later, no matter where you hide, the law will find you and you will be held accountable for your sins, and that's what we're telling our fellow countrymen.)The court’s order was directed to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).In its 14-page order, the Manila Regional Trial Court also instructed the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to bring back Teves whom it tagged as a “fugitive” back to the Philippines through proper procedures.“Further, his right to travel can be impaired as his case involves public safety per the findings/ designation of the Anti-Terror Council. His actions as well as his group indeed created fear and intimidation of the local population and government of Negros Oriental undermining public safety,” the order reads.“Thus, there exists basis or grounds for the Department of Foreign Affairs to cancel accused Teves, Jr.’s passport. Accused Arnolfo Teves, Jr. is not entitled to relief from the court,” it added.The court also noted Teves' failure to return to the country despite the expiration of his travel authority, the issuance of arrest warrant against him and his designation by the Anti-Terrorism Council (ATC) as terrorist.“In the normal course of events, after the issuance of a warrant of arrest, an accused is either arrested or voluntarily surrenders. In either case, an accused eager to prove or assert his innocence longs for the wheels of justice to move,” it said.“Not in this case. Accused Teves, Jr. in utter disrespect of the court and willful disregard of the law, refuses to yield. By his refusal to come back to face his cases and his consistent flight mode, he deliberately continues to frustrate the ends of justice,” it added.In a statement, Teves’ legal counsel Attorney Ferdinand Topacio said they will resort to all legal remedies to have the court reverse its decision.“There is still an entire slew of legal remedies available to us in order to reverse the same, and we fully intend to resort to all of them,” he said.Degamo’s killing on March 4, 2023 also resulted in the death of 11 other innocent individuals.Teves, who was being pointed to as the mastermind behind Degamo’s killing, was out of the country when Degamo was executed.He repeatedly denied accusations linking him to Degamo’s death, and he also refused to return to the country despite calls from government officials, including President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. himself.Teves claimed there is a serious threat against his and his family’s lives.Several suspects who allegedly directly participated in Degamo’s killing were arrested by the police including Teves’ reported close aide, Marvin Halaman.Some of them initially implicated Teves in the killing, but they later recanted their statements.

Philippines THE House of Representatives approved on third and final reading a bill seeking the revocation of the franchise of Swara Sug Media Corporation (SSMC), which operates Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI).The lower chamber approved House Bill (HB) 9710, which seeks to repeal Republic Act (RA) 11422, which extended the franchise granted to SSMC under RA 8122 for an additional 25 years in August 2019, after it received 284 affirmative votes, four no votes and four abstentions.Representative Ramon Rodrigo Gutierrez of the 1-Rider party-list filed the bill due to SMNI’s involvement in the proliferation of fake news, as well as red tagging, which stemmed from the claims of its two program hosts, former anti-insurgency task force spokesperson Lorraine Badoy and Jeffrey Celiz.Badoy and Celiz, who claimed to be a former high-ranking official of the New People's Army, said that House Speaker Martin Romualdez spent P1.8 billion in just a year for his foreign trips.Romualdez denied the allegation, while Celiz later admitted that the information was “unverified.” It was also cited in the bill other “serious corporate offenses” committed by SSMC after the SMNI “openly” admitted to transitioning from a non-stock, non-profit corporation to a sole corporation under Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy in 2006, the owner of SMNI.In 2023, the controlling stake was transferred to Brother Marlon Acobo, with both transactions taking place without obtaining congressional approval. This violates Section 10 of RA 11422, which stipulates the requisite congressional approval for such changes, explicitly prohibiting the sale, lease, transfer, or assignment of the franchise without prior congressional consent. Also under RA 11422, the Congress should be notified about any transaction involving the franchise's sale, lease, transfer, or assignment within 60 days or it may trigger the revocation of franchise.Romualdez defended the revocation of SMNI’s franchise, calling it a “decisive action” that “underscores our commitment to uphold the integrity of broadcasting standards and the public’s trust.”“Tinutupad lamang po natin ang mandatong ini-atang sa atin ng Konstitusyon at ng taongbayan. Walang personalan dito. Trabaho lang,” he said.HB 9710, along with Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) 7, which contains the House’s own version of the proposed amendments to the Constitution’s restrictive economic provisions, will be submitted to the Senate.RBH 7 was also passed on the third and final reading in a plenary deliberation on Wednesday afternoon.The chamber also approved 19 priority measures of President Ferdinand Marcos’ administration on third and final reading before the five-week Lenten break. These measures include the following:* Philippine Ecosystem and Natural Capital Accounting System* Negros Island Region* Philippine Maritime Zones Act* Amendments to the Anti-Agricultural Smuggling Act* Philippine Defense Industry Development Act (PDIDA)/Self-Reliant Defense Posture Act* Valuation Reform bill* Waste-to-Energy bill* Instituting a National Citizens Service Training (NCST) Program* E-Government/E-Governance Act* Anti-Financial Accounts Scamming Act (AFASA)* Enabling law for the Natural Gas Industry* Value Added Tax on Digital Services* Open Access in Data Transmission Act* Military and Uniformed Personnel Pension Reform bill* Blue Economy Act* Amendments to the Government Procurement Reform Act* Act Establishing the Department of Water Resources and Services * Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning (ARAL) Program Act and* Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises to Maximize Opportunities for Reinvigorating the Economy (Create More)Romualdez authorized, however, all standing and special committees to conduct hearings if deemed necessary, during the House recess from March 21, 2024 to April 28, 2024.“The House remains steadfast in its commitment to serve the Filipino people.

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) Traditional sabong reflection of Filipino culture PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has approved the adoption of the 10-year Maritime Industry Development Plan 2028 (MIDP), which aims to integrate development into the strategic direction of the country’s maritime industry.In a four-page Executive Order 55 signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on February 8, 2024, Marcos raised the need for MIDP in a bid to fully realize the country’s potential as a maritime nation.“To fully realize our potential as a maritime nation, the country requires a clearly defined and coordinated roadmap that shall accelerate the integrated development of the Philippine Maritime Industry,” said Marcos.Under the MIDP, the Philippine Merchant Fleet, which addresses sea transport requirements in support of national development, is envisioned to be stronger and more reliable.It is anchored on the administration’s “AmBisyon Natin 2024” of a strongly rooted, comfortable and secure life for all Filipinos.The MIDP requires the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) to adopt a system for the effective implementation, monitoring and review of the MIDP, and its component programs, which include modernization and expansion of domestic shipping and promotion, expansion of the overseas shipping industry.The component programs include the modernization, expansion and promotion of shipbuilding and ship repair industry; promotion of highly-skilled and competitive maritime workforce; enhancement of maritime transport safety and security; promotion of environmentally sustainable maritime industry; implementation of a sustainable maritime innovation, transformation, digitalization and knowledge center; and adoption of an effective and efficient maritime administration governance system.Government agencies and instrumentalities shall also align and harmonize their policies and courses of action to ensure its effective implementation while an MIDP Technical Board (TB) is created to assist the board in implementing, monitoring, updating and reviewing the program.The Marina Board representatives with rank not lower than of an assistant secretary, or its equivalent will serve as the MIDP TB.The TB may also invite or enjoin participation of other relevant agencies or instrumentalities as additional members, whenever necessary in the performance and functions.Marcos earlier certified as urgent the proposed Magna Carta for Filipino Seafarers, which aims to address recurring deficiencies in the domestic laws pertaining to the training and accreditation of thousands of Filipino seafarers that endanger their employment in the European market in particular, and the global maritime arena, in general.The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development listed the Philippines as among the top source of seafarers in the world in 2021.From 2016 to 2021, Marina said 400,000 Filipino seafarers were deployed overseas on average.But the European Maritime Safety Agency (Emsa) earlier flagged the country for not aligning with international maritime safety standards and marine education, particularly with the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW), putting thousands of seafarers’ jobs at risk. Among the deficiencies noted by the EU on the country’s maritime and seafaring sector are on monitoring, supervision and evaluation of manning training and assessment; examination and assessment of competence, programs and course design and approval; availability and use of training facilities and simulators; onboard training and issue revalidation and recognition of certification endorsements.
