IN A bid to sustain the country’s current growth momentum and make its economy stronger, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said his administration is focusing on re-skilling and upskilling the Philippines’ workforce, enhancing efforts to adapt to new technologies and attracting more investments.During the question and answer session of the World Economic Forum (WEF) on East Asia at Malacañang on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, with WEF President Børge Brende, Marcos raised the need for Filipino laborers to improve their competitiveness and keep up with the advancements under the new economy, both domestically and internationally.“Whenever we speak on investments I always ask the prospective investor if we have in fact a training program, if there is a transfer of technology, because this is going to be essential,” he said.“This continuous training and upskilling of our workers is conducted not only so that they are able to work in the areas that are important in the new economy. And also we have a very significant part of our economy is dependent on our overseas workers,” he added.Marcos said they are also paying attention to directing investment properly to ensure that it actually helps the country’s economic growth.“We now move on with the initiatives that we would like to introduce. And those are, what I spoke of in my speech, the investment that comes from private partners (but) government to government investments are also something that we are hoping to increase,” the President said.“And these investments also must be directed properly. They cannot be just investments that are perhaps very profitable but do not really help the economy grow. So [it] is still the main aim. I think, we [have] grown the idea… that we grow the economy out of the doldrums of the post-pandemic situation,” he added.Capital investment in new sectors will also be key, Marcos said, citing investments in digital space, new technologies and industries such as green minerals processing and battery production.In his speech during the WEF, Marcos highlighted the reforms his administration instituted for economic development and the ease of doing business in the Philippines to entice more investors to put up or expand their businesses in the country.He noted the revised implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of the Build-Operate-Transfer Law followed by the revisions of the Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) Code.He reiterated that now is the right time for foreign investors to invest in the country, saying that “our economic liberalization measures signal the dawn of a new era of investments here in the Philippines.”“Clearly, the Philippines is in a prime position to enter into a sustained period of robust economic expansion over the next couple of years,” Marcos said.“I extend an invitation to our guests and partners here today to join us in this exciting new phase. The members of the economic team are here today ready to discuss those opportunities that I speak of in greater depth,” he added.Marcos highlighted the 185 Infrastructure Flagship Projects, which offer high rates of return and benefit from a streamlined process. These projects strategically target important sectors for sustainable development in the Philippines, including physical and digital connectivity, agriculture, energy, health, and climate-resilient infrastructure.He also noted that investments, particularly in durable equipment and public construction, emerged as a key driver in the full-year growth of the Philippine economy.The WEF Country Roundtable in the Philippines is the first high-level to be convened in the Asia-Pacific region since the end of the pandemic.OptimismBrende said it was the result of Marcos’ participation in the WEF in Switzerland in January last year that created a lot of interest and optimism in the Philippines.“There is a lot of optimism in the Philippines but also around the Philippines globally. We had a dialogue there and it was very, very well-received and a lot of companies that are partners with the World Economic Forum said that they would like to have a roundtable, to meet with the Filipino secretaries, [and] also to meet with President Marcos,” he said in a press conference.“Go a little bit deeper on the reforms and outlook for the Philippines and since then, in one and a half years’ time, the economy here has really shown how resilient it is,” he added.Brende expressed belief that if the Philippines continues its current policy reforms, upgrading infrastructure, as well as investing in renewables and other areas, it will continue to grow and could remain bullish.“I think that this can be in the coming decade, US$ 2 trillion economy if there are foreign investments in education, in infrastructure, and also able to draw on the great [competence] of the people of the Philippines,” he said.“The youth is considerable. There [are] also opportunities when it comes to the knowledge-based economy because it’s a big change, it’s a paradigm change we face right now. Productivity can be increased by 30 percent in the coming decade. So if we want to see continued economic growth you have to be part of the intelligence economy,” he added. (SunStar Philippines) Top Online Gambling Sites in the Philippines Philippines A LOCAL legislator is blaming the lack of a final route and other aspects of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) for the non-approval of the city’s Local Public Transport Route Plan (LPTRP), which has affected some public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers.Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who also chairs the Traffic Management and Coordination Committee, was surprised after learning during the executive session on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024, that another feasibility study is needed to come up with the final route.Gealon said Cebu City’s final LPTRP is dependent on this.Benedicto Guia, program manager of the Department of Transportation (DOTr), said a feasibility study will have to be conducted to determine the economic viability of the project since the result will eventually dictate the route the buses will officially traverse.“It (final route) might go outside the given the route, we still don’t know,” Guia told members of the City Council.The current length of the BRT’s dedicated lane is 13.8 kilometers, based on previous reports.The update did not sit well with Gealon, who said the City’s lack of an LPTRP is not due to its failure to comply with any requirement of law, rule or regulation or its ineptness or negligence.Instead he blamed the DOTR.“What a blunder!” he said.Gealon said the DOTr has not approved the city’s LPTRP despite having been filed and re-filed continually at varying times during different administrations through the City Planning and Development Office.“By that admission is the exact reason why LPTRP is in limbo. The reason why our drivers and operators of public utility vehicles have been pestering us, and rightfully so, for the longest time, on what route they will take,” he said.Modern jeepneys operated by Bagong Jeep (Beep) ceased operations for six months starting last Oct. 1, 2023, leading to the suspension of its 58 units plying the Cebu City Hall to IT Park, Banawa to Panagdait, Tabunok to IT Park, and Minglanilla to IT Park routes.Its drivers and passenger assistance officers have been on floating status since.Based on previous reports of SunStar Cebu, one factor that contributed to the suspension was the delay in the approval of a route modification request that affected Beep’s ability to maintain its market position and profitability.The LPTRP is a plan detailing the route network, mode, and required number of units per mode for delivering land transport service, which shall be the minimum requirement prescribed for the issuance of PUV franchises.“This is a genuine concern of PUV operators and drivers as they are only operating on a temporary basis, which does not help at all, if only to give them peace of mind in their livelihood -- this being their means of living,” said Gealon.Guia, in response to Gealon’s concern, acknowledged that they already have a copy of the LPTRP the City submitted, saying it is being looked into by a consultant.He said that once Package 1 of the CBRT is completed, they will utilize the Cibus to ply the route. The Cibus will adopt the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board fare rate, he said. However, Guia said the feasibility study will determine the number of buses based on the projected number of ridership, as well as the model of the buses that will be deployed in relation to operations and maintenance viability. He said they are still looking whether to acquire the buses through a public-private partnership or by other means.Guia said they will adopt necessary measures once the result of the feasibility study comes out.

Thirteen incidents where fishermen discover blocks of cocaine floating in the seas were recorded since 2018.Another brick of cocaine found; 3 groups suspectedThe PDEA then said that it is either that the Philippines is being used as a transshipment point, which means that the illegal contraband is intended for another country or these were part of a diversionary tactic by syndicates while they smuggled bigger hauls of narcotics into the country elsewhere.

A LOCAL legislator is blaming the lack of a final route and other aspects of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) for the non-approval of the city’s Local Public Transport Route Plan (LPTRP), which has affected some public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers.Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who also chairs the Traffic Management and Coordination Committee, was surprised after learning during the executive session on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024, that another feasibility study is needed to come up with the final route.Gealon said Cebu City’s final LPTRP is dependent on this.Benedicto Guia, program manager of the Department of Transportation (DOTr), said a feasibility study will have to be conducted to determine the economic viability of the project since the result will eventually dictate the route the buses will officially traverse.“It (final route) might go outside the given the route, we still don’t know,” Guia told members of the City Council.The current length of the BRT’s dedicated lane is 13.8 kilometers, based on previous reports.The update did not sit well with Gealon, who said the City’s lack of an LPTRP is not due to its failure to comply with any requirement of law, rule or regulation or its ineptness or negligence.Instead he blamed the DOTR.“What a blunder!” he said.Gealon said the DOTr has not approved the city’s LPTRP despite having been filed and re-filed continually at varying times during different administrations through the City Planning and Development Office.“By that admission is the exact reason why LPTRP is in limbo. The reason why our drivers and operators of public utility vehicles have been pestering us, and rightfully so, for the longest time, on what route they will take,” he said.Modern jeepneys operated by Bagong Jeep (Beep) ceased operations for six months starting last Oct. 1, 2023, leading to the suspension of its 58 units plying the Cebu City Hall to IT Park, Banawa to Panagdait, Tabunok to IT Park, and Minglanilla to IT Park routes.Its drivers and passenger assistance officers have been on floating status since.Based on previous reports of SunStar Cebu, one factor that contributed to the suspension was the delay in the approval of a route modification request that affected Beep’s ability to maintain its market position and profitability.The LPTRP is a plan detailing the route network, mode, and required number of units per mode for delivering land transport service, which shall be the minimum requirement prescribed for the issuance of PUV franchises.“This is a genuine concern of PUV operators and drivers as they are only operating on a temporary basis, which does not help at all, if only to give them peace of mind in their livelihood -- this being their means of living,” said Gealon.Guia, in response to Gealon’s concern, acknowledged that they already have a copy of the LPTRP the City submitted, saying it is being looked into by a consultant.He said that once Package 1 of the CBRT is completed, they will utilize the Cibus to ply the route. The Cibus will adopt the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board fare rate, he said. However, Guia said the feasibility study will determine the number of buses based on the projected number of ridership, as well as the model of the buses that will be deployed in relation to operations and maintenance viability. He said they are still looking whether to acquire the buses through a public-private partnership or by other means.Guia said they will adopt necessary measures once the result of the feasibility study comes out. licensed online casinos THE Philippine National Police (PNP) is looking into the possible source of the P111.8 million worth of cocaine found floating in the waters of Arteche, Eastern Samar.In a press conference, PNP chief of the Public Information Office (PIO) Colonel Jean Fajardo said an investigation was launched to identify where the 20 bricks of cocaine, which were recovered by a fisherman on March 8, came from.“Tinitingnan natin based doon sa panayam before ng mga units na nag-imbestiga nito ay possibly mga drugs na ito may have come diyan sa area ng South American ang tinitingnan natin ang Pilipinas ay ginagamit pong trans-shipment points na hindi talaga intended for local distribution kasi maliit pa naman talaga ang market ng cocaine dito sa Pilipinas. Ang No. 1 pa rin talagang abused drugs dito sa atin ay shabu,” she said.(We are looking at it based on the interview before with the units that investigated it. It is possible that these drugs have come to the South American area. What we are looking at is that they are looking the Philippines as trans-shipment point but that is not really intended for local distribution because the cocaine market is still really small here in the Philippines. The No. 1 drug that is really abused here is shabu.)“But we are not 100 percent sure whether ‘yung mga narecover before, particularly ‘yung 2009 and 2010, is the same source of the recovered drugs ngayon,” she said.“Itong drugs smuggling, trafficking entail an elaborate funding from a drug syndicate, so possibility talaga na meron talagang foreign drug traffickers that infiltrated itong ating Philippine market,” she added.(This drugs smuggling, trafficking entail an elaborate funding from a drug syndicate, so there is possibility that there are actually foreign drug traffickers that infiltrated our Philippine market.)Following the recovery of the illegal contraband, Fajardo said the PNP, together with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), Philippine Coast Guard, and Philippine Navy, has intensified their seaborne operations to guard the country’s coastline against intrusions by international drug smugglers and poachers.She said they are also coordinating closely with their foreign counterparts for the interdiction of such illegal items.In 2019, several blocks of cocaine worth millions of pesos were found floating off Camarines Norte, Siargao and Dinagat Islands. Thirteen incidents where fishermen discover blocks of cocaine floating in the seas were recorded since 2018.Another brick of cocaine found; 3 groups suspectedThe PDEA then said that it is either that the Philippines is being used as a transshipment point, which means that the illegal contraband is intended for another country or these were part of a diversionary tactic by syndicates while they smuggled bigger hauls of narcotics into the country elsewhere.
