Over the past 20 years, annual trade in energy-related critical minerals has increased from $53 billion to $378 billion.Marcos also called for the revival of the Philippine-European Union (EU) Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations to further enhance the trade relations of the two countries.“We believe that the resumption of these negotiations will be a big step in furthering our trade relations, with the end view to establish a stable, predictable, and enabling business environment that promotes inclusive and sustainable growth and development,” he said.Negotiations for the PH-EU trade and investment agreement were launched on December 22, 2015, followed by the second negotiations, which took place in February 2017.The negotiations, however, have since been put on hold until July 2023 while the EU and the Philippines announced their intention to begin technical discussions to potentially resume negotiations. Marcos said the Department of Agriculture is not conducting explanatory talks with its Czech counterparts as the Philippines eye to exploring trade in meat products with Czech Republic as he expresses interest in the medicines used by the country to ensure the quality of its meat and livestock products.He said representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic are expected to visit the Philippines by next week to formalize the agreement.Czech Republic Prime Minister Petr Fiala visited Manila in April 2023 where he sat in a bilateral meeting with President Marcos and expressed the readiness of his government to support the Philippines in the agriculture sector, among others.In terms of contributing to the workforce of Czech, Marcos said the two countries agreed to intensify their collaboration.He said he has ordered the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) to strengthen its ties with its counterparts in the Czech to protect the rights and ensure the welfare of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).A Joint Communique on Labor Consultations Mechanism between the Philippines and the Czech Republic aimed at establishing a system to discuss areas of mutual interests, including the proper procedure for employing Filipino citizens in the Central European country was signed during Marcos’ visit.The Joint Communique will greatly favor Filipinos already working in the Czech Republic as well as those planning to enter its labor market, Marcos said.“This is my commitment: to provide our society with a principled, accountable, and dependable governance, to attain a better future for all Filipinos,” the President said.“Ipinapangako po sa inyo na sisikapin pa natin na lalong pagandahin at palaguin ang ating ekonomiya dahil ito ay karapatan ng bawat Pilipino. At kayo, aking mga kababayan ay nagsisilbing inspirasyon. Kayo ang inspirasyon namin ng mga taga-gobyerno upang ipagpatuloy ang aming ginagawa, ang aming trabaho,” he added.(I promise you that we will work hard to improve and grow our economy because it is the right of every Filipino. And you, my countrymen, serve as an inspiration. You are the inspiration for us and the government to continue what we are doing.) (TPM) The Philippines Online Gambling Guide 2022 Philippines [UPDATED] TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan's strongest earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island during the morning rush hour Wednesday, April 3, 2024, damaging buildings and highways and leaving nine people dead.In the capital, Taipei, tiles fell from older buildings as the earthquake shook the city, and schools evacuated their students to sports fields, equipping them with yellow safety helmets.Some children covered themselves with textbooks to guard against falling objects as aftershocks continued. Afterward, a five-story building in Hualien County, near the offshore epicenter, was left leaning at a 45-degree angle, with its first floor collapsed.Taiwan's national fire agency said nine people died in the quake, which struck just before 8 a.m.The local United Daily News reported three hikers died in rockslides in Taroko National Park and a van driver died in the same area after boulders hit the vehicle.The agency said authorities have lost contact with 50 people in minibuses after the quake downed phone networks. More than 70 other people are trapped, but believed to be alive, including some in a coal mine. Another 882 have been injured.Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency said the quake was 7.2 magnitude while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.4. It struck about 18 kilometers (11.1 miles) south-southwest of Hualien and was about 35 kilometers (21 miles) deep.Multiple aftershocks followed, and the USGS said one of the subsequent quakes was 6.5 magnitude and 11.8 kilometers (7 miles) deep.Shallower quakes tend to cause more surface damage.The earthquake triggered a tsunami warning that was later lifted.Authorities said they had expected a relatively mild quake of magnitude 4 and accordingly did not send out alerts. Still, the earthquake was strong enough to scare people who are used to such shaking.“Earthquakes are a common occurrence, and I’ve grown accustomed to them. But today was the first time I was scared to tears by an earthquake,” said Hsien-hsuen Keng, a resident who lives in a fifth-floor apartment in Taipei. ”I was awakened by the earthquake. I had never felt such intense shaking before.”Television images showed neighbors and rescue workers lifting residents, including a toddler, through windows and onto the street. All appeared mobile, in shock but without serious injuries. Doors had been fused shut by the pressure of the tilt.The national legislature, a converted school built before World War II, and sections of the main airport in Taoyuan, just south of Taipei, also saw minor damage.Traffic along the east coast was at a virtual standstill after the earthquake, with landslides and falling debris hitting tunnels and highways in the mountainous region. Train service was suspended across the island of 23 million people, as was subway service in the capital, Taipei, where a newly constructed above-ground line partially separated.The Japan Meteorological Agency said a tsunami wave of 30 centimeters (about 1 foot) was detected on the coast of Yonaguni island about 15 minutes after the quake struck. Smaller waves were measured in Ishigaki and Miyako islands.The earthquake was felt in Shanghai and several provinces along China’s southeastern coast, according to Chinese media. China and Taiwan are about 160 kilometers (100 miles) apart. China issued no tsunami warnings for the Chinese mainland and all such alerts in the region had been lifted by Wednesday afternoon.The initial panic after the earthquake quickly faded on the island, which is regularly rocked by temblors and prepares for them with drills at schools and notices issued via public media and mobile phone.By noon, the metro station in the busy northern Taipei suburb of Beitou was again buzzing with people commuting to jobs and seniors arriving to visit the hot springs or travel the mountain paths at the base of an extinct volcano.Stephen Gao, a seismologist and professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology, said Taiwan’s earthquake preparedness is among the most advanced in the world, featuring strict building codes, a world-class seismological network, and widespread public education campaigns on earthquake safety.Hualien was last struck by a deadly quake in 2018 that collapsed a historic hotel and other buildings. Taiwan's worst quake in recent years struck on September 21, 1999, with a magnitude of 7.7, causing 2,400 deaths, injuring around 100,000 and destroying thousands of buildings.Taiwan lies along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” the line of seismic faults encircling the Pacific Ocean where most of the world's earthquakes occur.The economic fallout from the quake has yet to be calculated, but Taiwan is the leading manufacturer of the world's most sophisticated computer chips and other high-technology items that are highly sensitive to seismic events. Parts of the electricity grid were also shut down, possibly leading to disruptions in the supply chain and financial losses.Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC, which supplies semiconductors to companies such as Apple, said it evacuated employees from some of its factories in Hsinchu, southwest of Taipei. Hsinchu authorities said water and electricity supplies for all the factories in the city’s science park were functioning as normal.The Taiwan stock exchange opened as usual on Wednesday, with the index wavering between losses and gains.

A DAY before the Fire Prevention Month celebration, Cebu City already recorded 51 fire incidents since the start of 2024 which translates to a 45.7 percent rise from the 35 fire incidents recorded during the same period last year.Of the 51 incidents this year, 30 happened in January, resulting in property damage of about P19 million, said Senior Fire Officer Wendell Villanueva, information officer of the Cebu City Fire Office (CCFO).Meanwhile, a total of 21 fire incidents were recorded in the month of February with two of the fires happening in the afternoon of Feb. 29.Villanueva urged the public to heighten fire precautionary measures, especially during the dry season when the risk of fires is higher due to dry weather conditions.Proclamation 115-A issued by President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. on Feb. 24, 1966, declared March as Fire Prevention Month to remind people about the importance of fire safety and prevention.“We need to raise awareness among people about the dangers of the hot season. A small mistake could lead to a fire outbreak as things, and homes tend to get extremely dry during this time,” Villanueva said. “As water is scarce, we should be extra cautious and take all necessary measures to prevent any incident,” he added, taking into account the existing El Niño phenomenon.The CCFO will embark on several educational programs and campaigns to inform people about fire hazards, proper fire safety measures and emergency preparedness.Earlier this week, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas reported that Cebu will be affected by a dry spell due to El Niño.According to Pagasa, a dry spell occurs when there are three successive months of below-normal rainfall or two consecutive months of “significantly below-normal”rainfall.Below-normal rainfall refers to a reduction of 20 to 60 percent from the average precipitation levels for a specific area, while significantly below-normal rainfall indicates a decrease of more than 60 percent compared to the norm.Villanueva urged the public to conserve water, particularly during this time, so that the fire department can respond swiftly in case of fire emergencies.The CCFO, which sources water from the Metropolitan Cebu Water District, is currently not having any issues with its supply, said Villanueva.To mark the opening of Fire Prevention Month on March 1, the CCFO held two motorcades traversing routes from north to south to spread fire safety information in various areas. / KJF

[UPDATED] TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan's strongest earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island during the morning rush hour Wednesday, April 3, 2024, damaging buildings and highways and leaving nine people dead.In the capital, Taipei, tiles fell from older buildings as the earthquake shook the city, and schools evacuated their students to sports fields, equipping them with yellow safety helmets.Some children covered themselves with textbooks to guard against falling objects as aftershocks continued. Afterward, a five-story building in Hualien County, near the offshore epicenter, was left leaning at a 45-degree angle, with its first floor collapsed.Taiwan's national fire agency said nine people died in the quake, which struck just before 8 a.m.The local United Daily News reported three hikers died in rockslides in Taroko National Park and a van driver died in the same area after boulders hit the vehicle.The agency said authorities have lost contact with 50 people in minibuses after the quake downed phone networks. More than 70 other people are trapped, but believed to be alive, including some in a coal mine. Another 882 have been injured.Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency said the quake was 7.2 magnitude while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.4. It struck about 18 kilometers (11.1 miles) south-southwest of Hualien and was about 35 kilometers (21 miles) deep.Multiple aftershocks followed, and the USGS said one of the subsequent quakes was 6.5 magnitude and 11.8 kilometers (7 miles) deep.Shallower quakes tend to cause more surface damage.The earthquake triggered a tsunami warning that was later lifted.Authorities said they had expected a relatively mild quake of magnitude 4 and accordingly did not send out alerts.

(AP) licensed online casinos A DAY before the Fire Prevention Month celebration, Cebu City already recorded 51 fire incidents since the start of 2024 which translates to a 45.7 percent rise from the 35 fire incidents recorded during the same period last year.Of the 51 incidents this year, 30 happened in January, resulting in property damage of about P19 million, said Senior Fire Officer Wendell Villanueva, information officer of the Cebu City Fire Office (CCFO).Meanwhile, a total of 21 fire incidents were recorded in the month of February with two of the fires happening in the afternoon of Feb. 29.Villanueva urged the public to heighten fire precautionary measures, especially during the dry season when the risk of fires is higher due to dry weather conditions.Proclamation 115-A issued by President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. on Feb. 24, 1966, declared March as Fire Prevention Month to remind people about the importance of fire safety and prevention.“We need to raise awareness among people about the dangers of the hot season. A small mistake could lead to a fire outbreak as things, and homes tend to get extremely dry during this time,” Villanueva said. “As water is scarce, we should be extra cautious and take all necessary measures to prevent any incident,” he added, taking into account the existing El Niño phenomenon.The CCFO will embark on several educational programs and campaigns to inform people about fire hazards, proper fire safety measures and emergency preparedness.Earlier this week, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas reported that Cebu will be affected by a dry spell due to El Niño.According to Pagasa, a dry spell occurs when there are three successive months of below-normal rainfall or two consecutive months of “significantly below-normal”rainfall.Below-normal rainfall refers to a reduction of 20 to 60 percent from the average precipitation levels for a specific area, while significantly below-normal rainfall indicates a decrease of more than 60 percent compared to the norm.Villanueva urged the public to conserve water, particularly during this time, so that the fire department can respond swiftly in case of fire emergencies.The CCFO, which sources water from the Metropolitan Cebu Water District, is currently not having any issues with its supply, said Villanueva.To mark the opening of Fire Prevention Month on March 1, the CCFO held two motorcades traversing routes from north to south to spread fire safety information in various areas. / KJF
