Yan po ang unang kataga na sinabi ng ating Presidente during the inauguration. Ang masasabi ko po sa inyong excellency, sir matutupad po,” he said.(My dream is also your dream. A strong economy, a well-functioning society, and a disciplined police force. Those were the first words spoken by our President during the inauguration. What I can say to Your Excellency, sir, is that it will be fulfilled.)“I am truly grateful to our President, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., for the honor you bestowed upon me today. Thank you po, Sir, for entrusting me with the significant responsibility. Thank you for your trust and confidence in me to lead the PNP and I assure you that all dedicated members of the PNP stand ready to work tirelessly with you to drive real change towards achieving the collective vision of a Bagong Pilipinas,” he added.Improvenent in the PNPMarbil vowed to ensure that under his leadership there will be both continuity and improvement, that the PNP remains effective in its job while evolving to become a modern Filipino police force for a modern Filipino society.He said that under his leadership, the PNP will focus on three things: enhancing the quality of leadership, knowledge, and ability, as well as professionalism within the ranks; expanding its capacity to uphold the law, maintain order, and combat local and transnational crimes in all forms and manifestations; and striving to increase the public's trust in the national police agency.“To this end, we commit to utilizing the best and innovative practices in law enforcement… We will focus on increased community satisfaction in our work as a key benchmark of our progress. We will work on enhanced partnerships with the local community because safety and order ultimately require our collaborative efforts,” said Marbil.“I am therefore committed to ensuring that each and every member of the PNP, including future recruits, will be supported in developing, improving, and refining the skills that are needed in our line of work and for their career and progression as law enforcers,” he added.Marbil raised the need for police officers to possess critical-thinking and problem-solving skills to address the many unique situations that arise and to become catalysts for the changes.He said police officers should also be able to communicate with the public well, display empathy, and conduct themselves at all times responsibly, ethically, and morally. Marbil said he will also prioritize integrating the PNP with a secured, mobile artificial intelligence-driven and real-time smart policing program and information and communication technology development roadmap in its operations, including an active drive to recruit and train a new generation of police officers and support staff with technical expertise and specialized IT skills. “In closing, mahusay, matatag at maasahan na kapulisan (competent, resilient, and dependable police force). This is our promise and commitment to our country as we undertake the internal and external changes necessary to improve our services to you,” said Marbil.“Expect that your PNP will do its best to safeguard the community it serves because we understand how safety, peace and order are intrinsically connected to economic growth and progress. Itataguyod natin ang isang ligtas ng Bagong Pilipinas, ligtas na tahanan at ligtas na pamayanan (We will uphold a safe New Philippines, safe homes, and safe communities),” he added.

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) Consider the Variety of Games 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.

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. (TPM/SunStar Philippines) licensed online casinos 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.
