Online Lottery Pilipino-Consider the Variety of Games - Philippines

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. (TPM/SunStar Philippines) Consider the Variety of Games Philippines THE Mandaue City Government has signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) Cebu City Chapter to expedite the release of certain inmates, particularly those under preventive detention, to help decongest the Mandaue City Jail. The agreement was made through the program “Humanity Behind Bars: An Integrated Jail Decongestion and Management” at the Office of the City Mayor on Monday, Feb. 26, 2024.The MOA signing was attended by officials of the Mandaue City Government and the Mandaue City Police Office (MCPO), and representatives from the Mandaue City Jail male and female dormitories, among others. Participants discussed the key components of the program which include the introduction of a digital platform called Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) Management Data designed to inventory and monitor the case status of PDLs, decongest jails, and facilitate efficient correctional facility management.During the event, the IBP Cebu City Chapter presented Oplan Bilis Laya, a legal aid service aimed at assisting in the timely release of PDLs who have completed their sentence or are eligible for probation, pardon, parole, or early release. The service is provided with the help of law students who work under the supervision of the IBP Cebu City Legal Aid Service Group. The IBP Cebu City Chapter has established MOAs with Cebu law schools for their various initiatives.Challenges Mary Grace Casano, executive director for legal aid of the IBP Cebu City Chapter core team, presented common challenges faced by courts and jail facilities that impede the Philippine justice system. The challenges include institutional barriers such as the lack of drug courts causing delays in court proceedings. According to the IBP, there is an unbalanced number of drug courts even though 90 percent of PDL cases involve violations of Republic Act 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Act of 2002.There is also a shortage of judges, prosecutors, public attorneys, parole and probation officers, and court personnel. Moreover, inadequate and substandard facilities and living conditions in jails, delays in drug dependency examination (DDE) due to the lack of accredited DDE physicians, the financial incapacity of PDLs, jail congestion and overcrowding contribute to the problem.Jose Glenn Capanas, dean of the University of San Carlos School of Law and Governance said based on Supreme Court (SC) records in 2023, approximately 70 percent or roughly 335 out of the 478 jail facilities nationwide are overcrowded. Out of around 126,000 inmates in the country, 69.51 percent or around 87,500 are under preventive detention; while only 30.49 percent, or around 38,400 had been convicted and sentenced.Quoting SC records, Capanas said around 87,203 out of the 126,000 inmates nationwide are facing charges related to illegal drugs, while 39,144 have non-drug-related cases. While the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) reported a drop in jail congestion (367 percent in 2023) compared to 600 percent in 2018, Capanas said the country’s jail congestion rate has remained relatively high. Therefore, there is a need for collaboration between judges, jail personnel, local government units, and other stakeholders to lower congestion, he said.The SC defines preventive detention as the temporary confinement of an alleged suspect in jail or prison while undergoing investigation or trial and awaiting final judgment. Mandaue jail Over at the Mandaue City Jail (MCJ), Jonathan Baltar, superintendent of the male dormitory, said out of around 1,506 male PDLs, 406 persons were under preventive detention as of Tuesday, March 5. Shela Serrano, superintendent of the MCJ female dormitory, also reported that 87 out of the 126 female PDLs were under preventive detention.In 2015, the MCJ was ranked as one of the most congested jail facilities in Central Visayas with a congestion rate of 1,701 percent, according to the BJMP Its male facility, originally designed to accommodate around 95 inmates, hosted around 1,000 male inmates at the time, while its female dormitory which could accommodate only around 22 PDLs catered to about a hundred female inmates.According to court officials, the main reason for the slow disposal of cases was the lack of trial courts to handle the large volume of cases in Mandaue City. There are only three Regional Trial Court (RTC) branches in Mandaue City compared to 22 in Cebu City. Mandaue City RTC Branch 83 Executive Judge Alan Garciano said they are implementing a new system to expedite the release of PDLs who have served their maximum sentence. The system involves acknowledging the release of the PDLs without need for a court order, as long as jail personnel can verify that the PDL has indeed completed their sentence. “The court is informed of the release seven days before the PDL’s release, as stated by the Office of the Court Administrator Circular No. 201-2022,” said Garciano.To help decongest the MCJ, the Mandaue City Government has built a wider jail facility with a larger inmate capacity. In September 2023, the MCJ male dormitory moved to its new location in Sitio Dunggoan, Barangay Basak which significantly improved their congestion problem, Baltar said.However, PDLs at the female dormitory have yet to transfer from the old MCJ facility in Barangay Looc to Barangay Basak as the new area for the female dormitory remains swampy.Serrano said as soon as an embankment is built, the transfer would take place. The new MCJ facility has an ideal capacity of 280 inmates for its male dormitory and 40 inmates for the female dormitory. / HIC

INSTEAD of going after delinquent employers, the Social Security System (SSS) has changed its approach to encourage them to seek assistance from their respective SSS offices on how to fulfill their obligations. This, after the SSS noticed a significant number of employers, particularly in Cebu and Bohol, have yet to register their businesses under SSS in 2023.In a press conference on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, Alberto Montalbo, head of SSS Visayas Central 1 Division, discussed the rebranding of their “Race” campaign. Previously defined as “Run Against Contribution Evaders,” Race now stands for “Relief Afforded to Challenge Employers.”Montalbo said the campaign rebranding that began in 2022 and will be further strengthened in 2024, has produced more positive results than the previous Race campaign.He said the campaign aims to encourage more investors to venture, especially in Cebu, and to alleviate their fear towards SSS.Installment Montalbo said the SSS is planning to allow employers to pay their unpaid contributions through installments.This will enable employers to pay at least five percent of their total computed delinquency as downpayment. The duration of the installment payment will be assessed based on the employer’s total amount of delinquency and penalties.The new payment scheme could last up to 24 months or two years. Employers are advised to prioritize remitting SSS contributions for employees who highly need SSS benefits while availing of installment payments.Delinquents Unesco Pacarro Jr., head of the SSS legal department, reported during the press conference that around 193 employers were targeted by the Race campaign in the provinces of Cebu and Bohol in 2023.Of this number, 65 were discovered to have failed to register their businesses under SSS, 40 fully paid their delinquencies, 10 chose to partially pay their unpaid contributions, and five were found to have closed their companies.As a result of the Race campaign, an estimated P36 million worth of unpaid contributions or delinquencies from employers were recorded.Montalbo said as of March, the SSS already collected P30 million of the P36 million unpaid contributions from employers.Criminal cases for violation of Republic Act 1161, or the SSS Law, were also filed against nine out of the 193 employers; while the rest of the employers availed of installment, restructuring, and condonation programs offered by SSS to settle their contribution disputes.Employers who violate the SSS law may be fined up to P500,000 or face a minimum of six months imprisonment, or both, depending on the court’s decision. The law requires employers to register their business under SSS, report their employees from the first day of their employment, and pay their contribution a month after employment.Race 2024From January to March 2024, 56 employers were subjected to Race operations in the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay.The operations recorded roughly P9.6 million in delinquencies and also identified non-SSS registered companies.On Wednesday, a simultaneous Race operation was conducted across five SSS branches in the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu, Talisay and the Cebu-North Reclamation Area.The operation found that a computer supplier company based in Mandaue was the most delinquent with 17 employees, surpassing P1 million in SSS delinquencies since 2019.The SSS ended the press conference by reminding employers to prioritize their employees’ future by providing them with SSS benefits.The SSS said this would be advantageous to the company in the long run, as it would encourage employees to stay and perform their best for the company. / HIC

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.

THE Mandaue City Government has signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) Cebu City Chapter to expedite the release of certain inmates, particularly those under preventive detention, to help decongest the Mandaue City Jail. The agreement was made through the program “Humanity Behind Bars: An Integrated Jail Decongestion and Management” at the Office of the City Mayor on Monday, Feb. 26, 2024.The MOA signing was attended by officials of the Mandaue City Government and the Mandaue City Police Office (MCPO), and representatives from the Mandaue City Jail male and female dormitories, among others. Participants discussed the key components of the program which include the introduction of a digital platform called Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) Management Data designed to inventory and monitor the case status of PDLs, decongest jails, and facilitate efficient correctional facility management.During the event, the IBP Cebu City Chapter presented Oplan Bilis Laya, a legal aid service aimed at assisting in the timely release of PDLs who have completed their sentence or are eligible for probation, pardon, parole, or early release. The service is provided with the help of law students who work under the supervision of the IBP Cebu City Legal Aid Service Group. The IBP Cebu City Chapter has established MOAs with Cebu law schools for their various initiatives.Challenges Mary Grace Casano, executive director for legal aid of the IBP Cebu City Chapter core team, presented common challenges faced by courts and jail facilities that impede the Philippine justice system. The challenges include institutional barriers such as the lack of drug courts causing delays in court proceedings. According to the IBP, there is an unbalanced number of drug courts even though 90 percent of PDL cases involve violations of Republic Act 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Act of 2002.There is also a shortage of judges, prosecutors, public attorneys, parole and probation officers, and court personnel. Moreover, inadequate and substandard facilities and living conditions in jails, delays in drug dependency examination (DDE) due to the lack of accredited DDE physicians, the financial incapacity of PDLs, jail congestion and overcrowding contribute to the problem.Jose Glenn Capanas, dean of the University of San Carlos School of Law and Governance said based on Supreme Court (SC) records in 2023, approximately 70 percent or roughly 335 out of the 478 jail facilities nationwide are overcrowded. Out of around 126,000 inmates in the country, 69.51 percent or around 87,500 are under preventive detention; while only 30.49 percent, or around 38,400 had been convicted and sentenced.Quoting SC records, Capanas said around 87,203 out of the 126,000 inmates nationwide are facing charges related to illegal drugs, while 39,144 have non-drug-related cases. While the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) reported a drop in jail congestion (367 percent in 2023) compared to 600 percent in 2018, Capanas said the country’s jail congestion rate has remained relatively high. Therefore, there is a need for collaboration between judges, jail personnel, local government units, and other stakeholders to lower congestion, he said.The SC defines preventive detention as the temporary confinement of an alleged suspect in jail or prison while undergoing investigation or trial and awaiting final judgment. Mandaue jail Over at the Mandaue City Jail (MCJ), Jonathan Baltar, superintendent of the male dormitory, said out of around 1,506 male PDLs, 406 persons were under preventive detention as of Tuesday, March 5. Shela Serrano, superintendent of the MCJ female dormitory, also reported that 87 out of the 126 female PDLs were under preventive detention.In 2015, the MCJ was ranked as one of the most congested jail facilities in Central Visayas with a congestion rate of 1,701 percent, according to the BJMP Its male facility, originally designed to accommodate around 95 inmates, hosted around 1,000 male inmates at the time, while its female dormitory which could accommodate only around 22 PDLs catered to about a hundred female inmates.According to court officials, the main reason for the slow disposal of cases was the lack of trial courts to handle the large volume of cases in Mandaue City. There are only three Regional Trial Court (RTC) branches in Mandaue City compared to 22 in Cebu City. Mandaue City RTC Branch 83 Executive Judge Alan Garciano said they are implementing a new system to expedite the release of PDLs who have served their maximum sentence. The system involves acknowledging the release of the PDLs without need for a court order, as long as jail personnel can verify that the PDL has indeed completed their sentence. “The court is informed of the release seven days before the PDL’s release, as stated by the Office of the Court Administrator Circular No. 201-2022,” said Garciano.To help decongest the MCJ, the Mandaue City Government has built a wider jail facility with a larger inmate capacity. In September 2023, the MCJ male dormitory moved to its new location in Sitio Dunggoan, Barangay Basak which significantly improved their congestion problem, Baltar said.However, PDLs at the female dormitory have yet to transfer from the old MCJ facility in Barangay Looc to Barangay Basak as the new area for the female dormitory remains swampy.Serrano said as soon as an embankment is built, the transfer would take place. The new MCJ facility has an ideal capacity of 280 inmates for its male dormitory and 40 inmates for the female dormitory. / HIC licensed online casinos INSTEAD of going after delinquent employers, the Social Security System (SSS) has changed its approach to encourage them to seek assistance from their respective SSS offices on how to fulfill their obligations. This, after the SSS noticed a significant number of employers, particularly in Cebu and Bohol, have yet to register their businesses under SSS in 2023.In a press conference on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, Alberto Montalbo, head of SSS Visayas Central 1 Division, discussed the rebranding of their “Race” campaign. Previously defined as “Run Against Contribution Evaders,” Race now stands for “Relief Afforded to Challenge Employers.”Montalbo said the campaign rebranding that began in 2022 and will be further strengthened in 2024, has produced more positive results than the previous Race campaign.He said the campaign aims to encourage more investors to venture, especially in Cebu, and to alleviate their fear towards SSS.Installment Montalbo said the SSS is planning to allow employers to pay their unpaid contributions through installments.This will enable employers to pay at least five percent of their total computed delinquency as downpayment. The duration of the installment payment will be assessed based on the employer’s total amount of delinquency and penalties.The new payment scheme could last up to 24 months or two years. Employers are advised to prioritize remitting SSS contributions for employees who highly need SSS benefits while availing of installment payments.Delinquents Unesco Pacarro Jr., head of the SSS legal department, reported during the press conference that around 193 employers were targeted by the Race campaign in the provinces of Cebu and Bohol in 2023.Of this number, 65 were discovered to have failed to register their businesses under SSS, 40 fully paid their delinquencies, 10 chose to partially pay their unpaid contributions, and five were found to have closed their companies.As a result of the Race campaign, an estimated P36 million worth of unpaid contributions or delinquencies from employers were recorded.Montalbo said as of March, the SSS already collected P30 million of the P36 million unpaid contributions from employers.Criminal cases for violation of Republic Act 1161, or the SSS Law, were also filed against nine out of the 193 employers; while the rest of the employers availed of installment, restructuring, and condonation programs offered by SSS to settle their contribution disputes.Employers who violate the SSS law may be fined up to P500,000 or face a minimum of six months imprisonment, or both, depending on the court’s decision. The law requires employers to register their business under SSS, report their employees from the first day of their employment, and pay their contribution a month after employment.Race 2024From January to March 2024, 56 employers were subjected to Race operations in the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay.The operations recorded roughly P9.6 million in delinquencies and also identified non-SSS registered companies.On Wednesday, a simultaneous Race operation was conducted across five SSS branches in the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu, Talisay and the Cebu-North Reclamation Area.The operation found that a computer supplier company based in Mandaue was the most delinquent with 17 employees, surpassing P1 million in SSS delinquencies since 2019.The SSS ended the press conference by reminding employers to prioritize their employees’ future by providing them with SSS benefits.The SSS said this would be advantageous to the company in the long run, as it would encourage employees to stay and perform their best for the company. / HIC
