FROM WAGE FREEZE TO WAGE CUTS:

Pnoy government pilotstwo-tier wage system

The House Committee on Labor announced last March their imminent sub-mission for plenary debates of the P125 wage hike bill. After holding public con-sultations, they concluded that indeed, Filipino workers both need and deserve the raise, and capitalists can afford it.

But the Aquino govern-ment unveiled a new wage policy called two-tier wage system last May. Since then, we hear no more updates on wage hike legislation. Now, based on media reports, the

BEFORE May 1 this year, there was talk in Congress that the decade-long proposal to legislate a P125 ($2.99) minimum wage hike is finally nearing plenary consideration.

battle lines for wage hike seem to be drawn between the labor sector decrying the P30 ($0.72) staggered wage hike granted in the National Capital Region as paltry – but one they will take anyway – and the employers who want it re-scinded.

The real wages of Filipino workers have “f lattened,” or did not increase in real value, over the past decade, said the independent think-tank Ibon Foundation. It said that the wage orders have failed to make up for

lost purchasing power over the years, as prices increase without letup, led by price and rate hikes of products and services of deregulated strategic industries such as oil, utilities, healthcare, etc. Various labor groups cite this as reason for pressing for substantial wage hike via legislation. Another reason they often cite is the rising productivity and profits of companies in the Philippines.

Employers shortsighted by profit-taking?

Independent think-tank Ibon Philippines said in March that the economy can afford to grant the long-time demand for a P125 ($2.99) wage hike. In a study, it said that establishments, taken as a whole, would only take a 12-percent cut in their profits when they pay their workers an additional P125 ($2.99) across-the-board. Ibon’s research also showed that the net income of the country’s Top 1,000 corpora-tions have steadily increased from P116.4 billion ($2.8-b) in 2001 to P804.1 Billion ($19.25-b) in 2010.

But all these profit hikes proved inadequate still for the Employers’ Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP), who appealed the NCR wage order, calling the P30 ($0.72) Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) “confiscatory for employers,” “excessively unjustified,” and “not economically feasible.”

The ECOP appeal drew condemnations from diverse labor groups, from the gov-ernment-backed Trade Union

Congress of the Philippines to the progressive labor center Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU), which described ECOP’s moves as the “highlight of its greed and irresponsibility.”

Employers’ representa-tives in the NCR wage boards had reportedly refused to sign the wage order that granted P30 COLA. ECOP’s conster-nation probably stemmed from the fact that previously, Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz and President Be-nigno “Noynoy” Aquino III announced a lower than P30 ($0.72) pay hike.

There is a reason why this NCR wage order granted a slightly higher COLA, said a labor think-tank.

The “P30 ($0.72) COLA is a cheap come-on” for the Aquino government’s new wage policy, the two-tier wage

system,” said the Ecumenical Institute for Labor Education and Research (EILER) in a statement.

This year marks the first time the regional tripartite wage and productivity boards are explicitly tasked by the government to issue wage orders supposedly linked to productivity. Though Labor Secretary Baldoz is proud of the new wage system, labor rights advocates and the progressive labor center Kilusang Mayo Uno have warned the working people that it is another deceptive way of denying workers a living wage.

“It appears that the Aqui-no administration had hoped that the P30 COLA increase will make a productivity-based pay palatable

SATURDAY-SUNDAY | AUGUST 11-12, 2012

TUBOD, Lanao del Norte––Rep. Imelda Quibranza-Dimaporo and former Rep. Abdullah Dimaporo of this province strongly condemned the recent ambush of government troops at Mindanao State University (MSU)-Marawi campus.

The incident which took place last August 8, 2012 at around 9 o’clock in the eve-ning left three soldiers dead and 10 soldiers wounded.

Slain were Pfc Rodel C. Alada, 25; Pfc Brucelee A. Putod, 25; and Pfc Rogem T. Polenza, 25.

Marawi police authori-ties reported that there was also a 10-year old child who died in the ambush and another three civilians wounded in the crossfire.

“We condemn in the strongest term the atroci-ties committed against the soldiers of the 65th Infantry Battalion. This is clearly an unprovoked attacked by lawless elements especially that under the leadership of Col. Lucero no military

P1.5m livelihood assistance released to city’s beneficiariescommunity organiza-tions in the city recently.

The assistance is part of the City Liveli-hood Assistance Pro-gram (CLAP) under the administration of Mayor Joseph R. Peñas.

There are about 50 recognized associations in the city. The city will soon release the second tranche of the mon-etary assistance for the remaining 31 organiza-tions.

Each group will re-ceive some P80 thousand to finance their selected livelihood projects.

In addition to infra-structure projects, Mayor Peñas said it is also a priority program of the

city to boost the liveli-hood endeavors of the poor constituents.

Peñas added that fi-nancial assistance brings positive impact on the economic situation of the people in the city.

abuses have been commit-ted,” Abdullah Dimaporo expressed.

In an interview by media with Col. Daniel Lucero, Commanding Officer of the 103rd Infantry Brigade stationed in Lanao del Sur, said that his troops were inside the MSU-main cam-pus after school officials requested for additional security for the students. Many of whom were alleg-

edly threatened by some locals should they fail to register themselves at the Commission on Elections (Comelec) under fictitious names.

While traversing the King Faisal road inside the MSU campus, the soldiers were suddenly fired upon by around 15 assailants.

“This is the fourth inci-dent wherein army person-nel were targeted by these

gang members because of our unrelentless sup-port to the PNP against anti-criminalities,” Lucero added.

According to Lucero, the active participation of the army in the reduction of ghost voters in Marawi City from 67-thousand to 43-thousand during the last general voters’ registration is seen as a threat by some groups.

The Dimaporos are the political leaders of Lanao del Norte and they have continuously supported the peace initiatives of national government to achieve last-ing peace in Mindanao.

“The military have not committed any violations or abuses. They were sim-ply there to perform their duty which is to protect the civilians and yet they were attacked by these criminals,” Rep. Imelda Dimaporo explained.

Police and mil itar y forces are now conducting joint hot pursuit operations against the perpetrators.

Jesus...from page 4

it means to be a dis-ciple of Jesus. Verse 57, “I will follow you.” Verse 59: “Follow me.” Verse 61: “I will follow you.”

The point in this phrase is that being a disciple of Jesus, that is, being a Chris-tian, is more than learning about him; it includes fol-lowing him where he goes.

Now what was Jesus do-ing in responding the way he did to these three would-be followers? No place to lay your head. Let the dead bury their dead. Put your hand on the plow and don’t look back. What was he doing? He was teaching, and he was testing.

He was teaching that the Calvary road through Jerusalem will be a very hard road, and will require sac-rifices of home and family. And he was testing to see if he himself was the greatest treasure of their lives.

They said, “I’ll follow YOU.” And Jesus said, “Re-

ally? You love me, you trea-sure me that much? Here’s what it will cost.” So he is testing how much they treasure the “you” in “I will follow you,” by telling them what the “follow” will cost.

In other words, the point of all these tough words as Jesus interacts with different people is not to create laws that all disciples have to keep: You shall give a part of your income. You shall go without a bed.

The point is that Jesus knows everyone’s idol. Jesus knows perfectly what is competing in your heart with affection for him. He looks everyone of us in the face this morning and sees right to our heart.

Let him do that for you now. Don’t take offense. He does this to win us for himself. “Follow me!” is the goal.

Being with Jesus is the goal. It won’t be easy. But it will be good. There will be joy even if there is sorrow. Because he will be with us.

Pag-IBIG fund putting up satellite offices, say

GOVERNMENT housing agency Pag-IBIG fund is setting up satellite offices in Metro Manila and other provinces in Luzon to accom-modate the expected surge of application for calamity loans by its members.

Vice President Jejomar Binay, concurrent chairman of Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council which administers Pag-IBIG Fund, also said Pag-IBIG members from disaster-hit areas may borrow as much as 80 percent of their total contributions at an interest rate of 5.95 percent.

The loan shall be amortized in 24 months with a grace period of three months.

Those who want to avail themselves of the loan should bring a duly accomplished Pag-IBIG Calamity Loan Application Form, signed and certified by the employer, and two identification cards.

“Our goal is to provide immediate assistance to those affected by the disaster. Through the satellite offices, their applications for calamity loan can be fast-tracked,” Binay said.

Police patrolling mine site ambushed, killed

KIBLAWAN, Davao Del Sur-- Violence erupted anew in a mining area in Barangay Kimlawis, Kiblawan when armed men ambushed and killed a police officer patrolling the area Thursday.

Alleged B’laan bandits led by a certain Daguil Capion pep-pered PO1 Rommel Paccial with bullets as he left the site after inspecting the area. He sustained gunshot wound in the chest. Doctors pronounced Paccial dead on arrival the Davao del Sur Provincial Hospital.

Paccial works with the Davao del Sur Provincial Public Safety Company (DSPPSC) in Kimlawis village.

Police regional spokesperson Marcial Magistrado said it was the third ambush staged against patrollers securing the Sagittarius Mines Inc. (SMI), a local partner of Australian mining firm, Xtrata.

On June 17, a security guard under SMI’s security service provider Catena was slain when an unidentified suspect shot him while he was on duty.

Three days later, armed men ambushed and killed retired police colonel Villamindo Hectin, SMI security consultant, and PO2 Rey Tonzo. Their companions, Wenefredo Sengonigue and PO1 Glen Beltran, were wounded in the attack.

Ms. Chedy V. Ansale (left), DA-HVCDP 10 Regional Coordinator spearheads the creation of the regional comprehensive farm mechanization roadmap during the Regional Farm Mecha-nization and Postharvest Technology Consultation with the local government units, private sector and other stakeholders.

TO fortify the delivery of appropriate development support services to farmers and other stakeholders in the region, the Department of Agriculture-High Value Crops Development Pro-gram (DA-HVCDP 10) held a Regional Farm Mecha-nization and Postharvest Technology Consultation recently.

The assembly tackled on the creation of a re-gional comprehensive farm mechanization roadmap that will be the basis for

DA-10 to intensify farm mechanization in Normin

the implementation of farm mechanization projects from 2013 to 2016.

Thus, participants were given the opportunity to identify possible farm mech-anization and postharvest projects that are deemed necessary in their respec-tive areas for production development, post harvest handling and value-adding activities for the next four years.

Most of the projects identified and proposed by the participants range

from farm equipment and post harvest equipment.

As of writing, the pro-posed projects were 33 hand tractors with trailers, 40 shredders, 42 banana chip-pers, 28 peanut dehullers, 20 multi-purpose drying pave-ments, 24 display centers, 28 weighing scales and 13 bi-cable tramlines; technical trainings and other process-ing equipment for coffee, fruits and vegetables.

These proposed proj-ects have reached a total of 110,312,000 budget require-

ment for 2013 to 2016.Ms. Chedy V. Ansale,

DA-HVCDP Regional Co-ordinator explained that project proposals are needed to access these projects, pro-vided these are included in the LGU’s Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Plan (AFMP) submitted to DA-10.

Furthermore, Ansale announced that all proj-ects from all DA banner programs require 10% eq-uity from the partner Local Government Unit starting

June 2012.Equity will only apply

to agri-infra projects that require construction as well as for heavy equipment, while other projects will be granted to the beneficiaries for free.

DA-HVCDP 10 will also distribute 32,000 pieces of coffee seedlings to those areas that have submitted their proposals as part of their continuous effort to revive the coffee industry in the region.

Over 62% of the fifty

million peso HVCDP pro-posed budget for 2013 will be allocated for produc-tion support services such as distribution of seeds, planting materials, farm animals, equipment and machineries and establish-ment of facilities, biological/organic fertilizer plant and 815 school gardens.

The event was attended by agricultural officers, rep-resentatives from the private sector, PhilMech, RAFC and other stakeholders.

THE natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof.

It is an environment that encompasses the interac-tion of all living species.

The concept of the natural environment can be distinguished by components:

• Complete ecological units that function as natu-ral systems without massive human intervention, including all vegetation, microorganisms, soil, rocks, atmosphere and natural phenomena that occur within their boundaries.

• Universal natural resources and physical phenomena that lack clear-cut boundaries, such as air, water, and climate, as well as energy, radiation, electric charge, and magnetism, not originating from human activity.

The natural environment is contrasted with the built environment, which comprises the areas and components that are strongly influenced by humans. A geographical area is regarded as a natural environment.

It is difficult to find absolutely natural environ-ments, and it is common that the naturalness varies in a continuum, from ideally 100% natural in one extreme to 0% natural in the other.

More precisely, we can consider the different aspects or components of an environment, and see that their degree of naturalness is not uniform.

If, for instance, we take an agricultural field, and consider the mineralogic composition and the struc-ture of its soil, we will find that whereas the first is quite similar to that of an undisturbed forest soil, the structure is quite different.

Natural environment is often used as a synonym for habitat. For instance, when we say that the natural environment of giraffes is the savanna. (web)

THINK a minute.In 1919, just after World

War I, the cholera disease broke out all over Europe killing many thousands of people.

The British government sent doctors all over the world to find a cure for cholera.

These doctors later came back and said that the Chi-nese did not get cholera because they boiled their water before they used it.

Soon all the radios and newspapers in England were telling everyone to boil their water before they drink it.

They even sent this mes-sage to the Pacific Islands since they had British sol-diers there.

Yet later, they heard that the cholera disease had still

broken out in the islands killing many thousands of Islanders.

The British leaders ques-tioned the people in the island villages and asked them if they were boiling their water?

The Islanders answered yes, they definitely were boiling their water to drink.

But this is how they did it. They boiled just a small amount of water and put it in a bottle. Then only once

or twice a day, they would get the bottle and drink a small teaspoon of the boiled water, like taking medicine.

Then they would put the bottle away again and the rest of the day they drank unboiled, dirty water. No wonder people still got cholera and died!

Yet many of us do that with Jesus Christ.

We don’t want to live Jesus’ way every day, so we go to church one day a

week to feel better about ourselves. Then we go back to living our own way the other 6 days of the week.

Or, if we’re not religious church people, we think that if we’re a good, kind person, then God will ac-cept us into heaven after we die.

But just like 1 teaspoon of clean water a day will not keep you healthy, only one day a week of living for Jesus Christ, or just trying to be a good person, is not even close to our Maker’s standard of pure goodness.

The only kind of good-ness God can live together with is perfect, pure good-ness of all our thoughts, motives, words, and actions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Laundering history

Speaking Out

IGNACIO BUNYEIGNACIO BUNYE

MANY of us have probably heard of the term money laundering and wondered what it really is.

The word laundering gives us a clue: it has to do with cleaning money.

And this is what it really just is, cleaning dirty money.

A look into the history of money laundering would ex-plain how it originated and how it has developed and evolved over the decades.

Scholars and historians have agreed that money laundering is as old as crime itself. Money laundering has been used to conceal crime and criminals for hundreds of years.

Author Hannah Purkey, in her article “The Art of Money Laundering ” writ-ten for the Florida Journal of International Law, said that more than two centuries ago, rich Chinese merchants engaged in money launder-

ing to cleanse the profits of their illegal activities after regional governments banned various forms of commercial trading.

During medieval times, financiers created methods to evade the Roman Catho-lic Church’s disapproval of usury (lending money at high interest)—methods that are still used today.

However, Purkey said the practice was not known as “money laundering” until around the 1920s, short-ly before the prohibition era in the United States. Money laundering origi-

nally described the Mafia’s attempts to “launder” il-legal money through cash-intensive washing salons or coin laundries, which were controlled by company acquisitions or business for-mations. Purkey explained that organized criminals have traditionally utilized financial institutions and the physical movement of money in order to transfer large bulks of illicit cash.

Traditional methods, according to anti-money laundering specialist Greg Baldwin, were once eas-ily recognizable: involving

“scruffy-looking characters delivering hordes of cash in cardboard boxes, pa-per shopping bags, duffel bags, suitcases, and the like.” Baldwin recounts a classic example of tradi-tional money laundering: A Miami bank in which over US $242 million in cash was deposited in one checking account of one branch in the span of just eight months, all in cash and delivered to the bank by unkempt characters bearing boxes and bags.

However, the Financial Action Task Force – an international body bent on combating money launder-ing and terrorist financ-ing – has said that when governments take action against certain methods of money laundering or ter-rorist financing, criminal activities tend to

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, seek my face, and turn away from their wickedness, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land…” (2 Chronicles 7:14, the Holy Bible).

-ooo-DIVINE INTERVEN-

TION & ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS: Both Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and Sen. Loren Legarda are correct in their respective assessments of how we can mitigate the death and de-struction coming from rains, floods, and winds. Enrile is right in seeking divine intervention, but Legarda is also correct in pushing for stricter implementation of laws that seek to protect the environment.

But, with due respect, their assessments fall short of what we can really do to address, eliminate, or at least mitigate, the dam-age from rains, floods, and strong winds. While divine intervention is necessary to help our people, and while

implementation of environ-mental laws will go a long way in addressing nature’s degradation, there is some-thing more that people of their stature should try to do, to find a solution.

Both Enrile and Le-garda should also study very carefully the spiritual and Biblical dimensions of rains, floods, and winds, and even of global warm-ing, climate change, and environment destruction, and then craft a spiritual solution fashioned out of the verses of the Bible. This is something that, surprisingly, has not been done in the past but which may have to be explored urgently as the death and destruction from natural calamities continue to skyrocket annually.

THREE men of different backgrounds were chanced upon with Jesus in one of their travels.

The scripture tells us in Luke 9:57-62, As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will fol-low you wherever you go.” Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

He said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.” Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to

The cost of following Jesus

the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”

God is an all-knowing God. In every event in our life, God is always doing unusual things that we do not know.

The designs and the ef-fects of every event from the fall of a bird, or the birth of a baby, the designs and effects of every event are unfathomable.

God is always doing

more than one thing in everything he does. The passage describes this un-usual and shocking series of encounters.

Three would-be fol-lowers meet Jesus. And Jesus says to each of them something very hard and very sweet.

The first man says, “I will follow you wherever you go,” he says, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the

Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

Jesus takes the initiative and calls another, “Follow me.” The man responds, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”

To which Jesus replies, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.”

Then a third candidate for discipleship says, “I will follow you, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home.”

To this Jesus responds, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and look-ing back, is fit for the king-dom of God.”

There is a word which was mentioned three times here. The word “follow”,

SUSPECTED Moro rebels of the breakaway Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fight-ers strafed the evacuation center in Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao at the height of armed skirmishes with government forces on Thursday.

Killed was Manan Beda Santo, 35, village council-man of Kakal, Ampatuan, Maguindanao. Seriously wounded was Tambunga-lan Kendatu, 54 years old, of Lambuay, Ampatuan, Maguindanao.

The suspects disguised

Moro rebels strafed evacuationcenter one killed, one wounded

themselves as health work-ers arrived Thursday af-ternoon in the evacuation center as health workers from Maguindanao pro-vincial health office were attending 136 displaced families when the Moro rebels staged a simultane-ous attacked on army post in Maguindanao Sunday evening.

Senior Supt. Marcelo Pintac, Maguindanao police provincial director, said police have the identities of the attackers who disguised as among the evacuees but were armed with assault rifles.

He said military au-

thorities in coordination with MILF military forces police have launched a joint manhunt operation against the suspects.

Dr. Tahir Sulaik, Magu-indanao health chief, said that without provocation, the gunmen opened fire at a group of internally displaced persons lining up for medical check-up, hitting two persons.

Sulaik said the health workers and everyone in the vicinity of Barangay Labo-Labo elementar y school were surprised and scampered for safety.

The gunmen fled using the same motorbike towards

the interior portion of Ba-rangay Labo-Labo.

Sulaik condemned the attack, saying the health workers and the internally displaced persons were all non combatants and unarmed.

"We should be spared, our workers are there to help the people affected by the armed conflict," he said.

He urged the military and the police to secure health providers and relief workers while they are per-forming their jobs as health workers are now reluctant to perform their duties due to security reasons. WITH WIRE REPORTS

TOTAL cash dividend payments of leading tele-communications company Globe Telecom will reach P8.6 billion by September this year, representing about 86% of its 2011 core net income.

Globe Telecom’s Board of Directors recently ap-proved the declaration of the second semi-annual cash dividend of P32.50 per common share payable on September 18, 2012 to shareholders on record as of August 28, 2012.

Last March 16, Globe also issued a cash dividend of P32.50, bringing total cash dividend payments this year to P65 per com-

Globe cash dividend paymentsto reach P8.6 billion by 3Q 2012

mon share.This year’s payout is

also higher by P400 million compared to P8.2 billion dividends in 2011 which was equivalent to 84% of prior year’s net income.

“We at Globe take pride in the company’s consis-tent performance over the years and in increasing shareholder value. It has always been our aim to provide superior returns to our shareholders and these cash dividends show our commitment to achieving

this vision,” said Ernest L. Cu, President and CEO.

Earlier, data from Thom-son Reuters StarMine showed that Globe was able to offer the highest dividend yield of 8.3 among 39 stocks in the Philippines.

Under the amended Globe dividend policy, shareholders will receive 75% to 90% of prior year’s core net income instead of reported net income.

Core net income ex-cludes all foreign exchange and mark-to-market charg-

es, as well as non-recurring items such as accelerated depreciation charges arising from its IT transformation and network modernization programs.

The policy change en-sures that dividends and yields remain competitive.

Over the years, Globe continues to provide one of the highest dividend yields in the local mar-ket and among telecom companies in the region, thereby, earning it the top spot in the Most Consistent Dividend Policy award of Alpha Southeast Asia and Commitment to a Strong Dividend Policy award of FinanceAsia last June 2012.

Looking 7 years younger, in an instantLooking 7 years younger, in an instantIt’s true anti-ageing

products do the trick, but they also put holes

in your pockets. Let us take a look at some ways we can maintain our bod-ies and look younger with-out the cost of imported and expensive products.

Drinking 5-6 glasses of fluid every day keep your skin hydrated and help flush out toxins. It doesnt always have to be

water, black or green tea also gives you flavonoids which boosts health. Fruit juices and vegetables have been proven by German scientists to dramatically improve skins hydration.

Salmon, sardines, wal-nuts and eggs, give you Omega 3 fatty acidss that help plump up our skin cells.

Wholegrain foods con-tain more antiageing an-

tioxidants than the white alternatives, and the fibre helps stop bad fats and toxins from damaging skin. Also, we need vitamins A, C and E that your skin totally loves.

Silica holds moisture in the skin and helps maintain its elasticity. It is found in celery, cucumber, green beans and strawberries.

Carotenoids, found in leafy greens, fruits and

root veggies gives the skin a healthy glow.

Smile, and the world smiles back. UK research-ers found out that when men and women were shown photos and asked to guess the persons age, happy faces were voted the youngest looking.

Walking helps too. Non-surgica l ways of staying young are really painless, fun and FREE.

walking has been seen to help us keep fit and young. Scientists in Canada say a brisk walk daily can delay the ageing process by 12 years: It helps the body use oxygen more effectively and increased oxygen levels help stimu-late the bodys immune system. All you need is a good pair of trainers, a buddy maybe, and a bottle of water.

Begin by walking for 15-20 minutes, five days a week and build up; as you get stronger, swing your arms to burn more calories and pull in your tummy to strengthen your core abdominal muscles. Keep it interesting by varying the route, alter-ing your speed, and don’t forget your trusty old MP3 players. Keep safe while walking.

How Tea Helps

just before lunch, and after, and in the afternoon snack, and in the night time. Whether that is still healthy or not remains debatable.

Green and Black Tea have shown the power to help reduce the risk of this fatal disease.Still wondering why our Asian neigh-bors love Tea?

The new generation is taking technol-

ogy for granted and it seems that they spend much on gadgets they don’t fully understand and utilize all the apps for good use.

Basically, kids now-adays are much too happy to show-off their iPhones, Galaxies, and whatever have you, yet in emergency cases - scramble to find “load”.

Though mobile com-munication companies give us a lot of options on the prepaid schemes, and they are many, I still think the new gen-eration ought to slow it down a bit.

I am writing this piece inside big red bus go-ing to Iligan City to do some marketing thingy using the pad.

Since, our daily grind at the newspaper keeps us on the go and we have a daily task to do, i find this mobile device to be quite useful.

This has been with me for quite a number of months now, basi-cally use it for facebook, instagram, and email.

Until I found out you can actually use this as a laptop, without the bulk. In the appstore, there are a lot of appli-cations we can use for word processing. The one I’m using now is a free app called “Docu-ments2”.

The two hour or so trip to Iligan, given the c i rcumstance of the road “ repa i rs ” , may get a little bumpy. But given this won’t stop me from finishing up on my writings for the

papers I handle. Call it multitasking

if you may, instead of wasting my time sleep-ing on the bus, knowing that I have some writ-ings to edit and hope-fully when I get to Ili-gan, find a wifi spot and send this (along with the other edits) to my colleague Ron who’s going to sub for me in layouting my pages for today.

My point is... kids, you have to use these expensive gadgets you bought to your advan-tage, use it wisely, in-stead of just using it for facebook. It would be cheaper on your side if you just go to an internet cafe and pay less than a dollar for an hour.

I ma in l y use my pad for business and market ing stuf f , l ike send ing documents wherever I am, show my clients the e-mag (pdf) of BWM, if you want a copy just let me know and I would gladly “bump” it to you. Bump is an app introduced to me by my wife, who got introduced to it by one of her colleagues. It’s a file sharing app where we need to re-ally “bump” our monile devices and Viola!!! File transfers.

Wrapping this up, if you should go for an expensive gadget, make sure you can use it for school, work, presenta-tions, and the like. And of course, it should have music and games to keep it balanced, you won’t be working al l the time. Work Hard, Play Hard!

Wage...from page 1

to workers. But such mea-sly increase in allowance can hardly hide the failure of the government to approve a leg-islated and signifi cant wage increase,” said Anna Leah Escresa, executive director of the Ecumenical Institute for Labor Education and Research (EILER).

On paper the two-tier wage system is now being pioneered in two regions, in the National Capital Region starting November and in Southern Tagalog starting earlier this year. Labor Sec-retary Rosalinda Baldoz told Bulatlat.com the two-tier wage system’s piloting is fo-cused in Southern Tagalog, in Region 4-A.

“We are monitoring its strengths and weaknesses,” Baldoz said, adding that so far (as of June), “more than 30 investors or foreign locators (in the area) have welcomed it.” She said other regional wage boards will come up with their two-tier wage scales.Th e two-tier wage system,

how it works…Under the two-tier wage

system, a productivity-based wage setting is implemented on top of a new fl oor wage per region. Workers’ wages would now consist of “a fl oor wage” tier and a productivity-based tier. In other words, wages would now be part-fi xed, part-productivity-based. Only the “fl oor wage” is mandatory or fi xed; the productivity-based pay is “conditional” or not assured, and variable.

Th e two-tier wage is to co-exist for the meantime with minimum wages, which are frozen at its current levels.

Th e regional wage boards set the amount of fl oor wage, based on the “poverty thresh-old” or the minimum amount a family needs to qualify as not poor. Th e second tier is determined by a productivity committee, to be formed per company, using company- or industry-wide productivity as basis.

Labor Sec. Rosalinda Bal-doz told Bulatlat.com that “when the two-tier wage sys-tem is fully implemented, the minimum wage becomes fl oor wage or safety nets, to be paid to all workers without exemption.”

Based on its piloting in Southern Tagalog and based on interviews with offi cials of the labor department, the new wage system appears designed to further bring down Filipinos’ wages.

…How it cuts down the Filipino wages

Th e two-tier wage system sets a “fl oor wage” cheaper than the current minimum wage. It whittled down the basis of fixing mandatory wages to just the poverty threshold. Prior to that, the poverty threshold itself was also whittled down.

Since last year, the Aquino government reduced the pov-erty threshold per Filipino per day from P52 to P46 ($1.24 to $1.10). Th ey replaced the contents of the food bundle with the cheapest alterna-tives, so people who used to be “food poor” are now out of that category, even if their food intake has not improved.

EILER predicted that the

poverty threshold would be reduced further per region and per province. Th is is also the experience with regional minimum wages – the farther away you are from the capital, the lower your minimum wage becomes.

Th e basis of “fl oor wage” is more bare-boned, compared to the basis of the minimum wage, which factors in the cost of living. Minimum wages theoretically also factor in productivity and competi-tiveness, two things which KMU legal counsel Remigio Saladero had tagged as the bases oft en cited by employers to keep the minimum wages low. But in factoring them as bases for determining the mandatory minimum wages, Filipino workers are suppos-edly entitled not just to try to keep pace with the cost of living, but also, theoretically, to share in the profi ts.

In the two-tier wage sys-tem, this would no longer be the case.

The minimum wage is higher now than the fl oor wage, but, Baldoz said, “it will evolve over a certain period, say, fi ve years.” Aft er that, Baldoz said, “we can now say there is an eff ective fl oor wage.”

Th e second tier or produc-tivity-based part of the wage is “conditional.” It would have to pass through company-based deliberations. Th e workers have no guarantee that they would receive this. And if they receive this, there is no guarantee, too, if the amount is commensurate indeed to their productivity.

“Productivity has a l-ways been a variable which capitalists can tinker with through various means, such as through use of technology or volume of inputs,” EILER executive director Anna Leah Escresa said. Th e Philippines generally has a low level of productivity due to the back-ward level of technology and dependence on inputs from foreign countries.

Pegging wage increases on productivity “completely binds workers’ wages to the whims of capitalists,” Escresa explained, “because in the Philippines, productivity is mainly determined by fac-tors under the control of companies.”

Aft er the Aquino govern-ment decided to make this part of wage “conditional” and variable, it also made it “more diffi cult and complicated” for workers to avail of it, as the leaders of Pamantik, the KMU in Southern Tagalog, told Bulatlat.com.

Th is part of Aquino’s new wage policy may work only if the government upholds its workers’ democratic rights, including their rights to form unions and engage in mass action. A strong union move-ment can dare companies to release their productivity report and sit down with the worker’ representatives to talk about pay hikes.

But conditions remain hostile to union organizing in the Philippines “due to 1) increasing preference of capitalists – and government approval – for contractual labor and 2) continued at-tack on existing unions and organizers,” as the Center for Trade Union and Human Rights said in their appraisal

of the labor situation under Aquino. As a result, to date, only 1.78 million Filipino workers are unionized and only 229,000 are covered by collective bargaining agree-ments. Th is means that only 1 out of every 12 wage-and-salary workers is unionized, and only 1 out of 8 unionized workers are covered by a col-lective bargaining agreement.

How would workers assert their productivity-based pay in such an environment? Th is part or tier of wage could not realistically make it into many workers’ pockets, and the Aquino government knows that. Every year, its labor department pats itself on the back for having “succeeded” in forcing industrial peace.

Th e new wage system, said Pamantik-KMU, is “an obvi-ous adherence of the Aquino government to the demands of the capitalists who do not want to give a single cent out of their pockets for their employees.”

Furthermore, the produc-tivity–based second tier is meant to bleed workers dry with higher quotas, higher demands and more exploit-ative working conditions. Already, workers, especially in export-processing zones suff er from urinary tract infections because they could not go to the toilet when they need to as this would disrupt the production process.

migrate to other meth-ods. As a result, criminals who need to clean their dirty money are increasingly turn-ing to non-fi nancial institu-tions to do so.

Baldwin said that from “scruff y-looking” men, money launderers have now evolved into well-dressed, well-spo-ken individuals employing the most complicated and sophisticated international investment techniques, never physically moving cash but instead operating in the far more eff ective and effi cient world of electronic and wire transfers of funds.

Despite this development,

and Savior, in Matthew 7:24-27 of the Bible. He said the rains, floods, and strong winds will surely come, bring-ing death and destruction, and only those who listen to Him and obey His commands will be saved.

Jesus said those who listen to Him, but do not obey Him, will surely die (my translation of the Bible uses the phrase “great crash”, and that could only mean death, of course). Therefore, viewed from this Biblical and spiritual perspec-tive, one solution that could afford relief from rains, floods and winds, would be training our people in spirituality---teaching them to read the Bible, and obeying God.

In fact, in another book of the Bible---in Deuter-onomy 28:15, 22-23---global warming, climate change, and environmental destruction were predicted to hit people who no longer listen to God and who no longer obey Him. Very clearly, there is a specific instruction from the Book of the Law as to how these natural calamities could

road security “to ensure the safety of the public.”

However, Dela Cruz said the highway will be closed to traffic from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. because the BIFF forces who have employed guer-rilla warfare could strike anytime.

At least 20 BIFF forces were killed in fierce firefight Wednesday and Thursday when the military, taking orders from 6th Infantry Division chief Maj. Gen. Rey Ardo, conducted “surgical operations and punitive actions.”

Dela Cruz said he based the casualty figure of BIFF to body counts seen by ground troops and civilians in areas where they were buried by their comrades.

“We are still assessing

Purkey clarifi ed that organized criminals still use fi nancial institutions to launder money. Financial institutions are the ideal markets to move large bulks of cash without attract-ing much suspicion, she said.

Purkey added that an-other method that organized criminals have utilized to launder money is through the purchase of real estate. Real estate serves as an ef-fective way to launder money because it is a highly valued commodity and the exact price for a piece of property is relatively speculative: Th e price depends upon how much a buyer is willing to pay, and cash transactions are usually allowed.

Organized criminals who purchase real estate to launder money purchase the property with dirty money then resell the property to obtain “clean” money from the transaction.

Lastly, Purkey pointed out that art likewise provides an ideal means to launder illicit gains. Dealers set the price for an expensive piece of art and this price can easily be increased or decreased, be-ing set only by the amount a buyer is willing to pay.

He said the BIFF forc-es have fled deep into the marshland during the two-day massive military of-fensives and clearing op-erations.

On Sunday night, about 500 fully armed men, under Commander Ustadz Ca-larian BIFF chief of staff, simultaneously launched attacks on Army detach-ments in Ampatuan, Datu Unsay, Shariff Aguak, Datu Saudi and Datu Piang to avenge the death of a BIFF member in the hands of the military.

Following the opening of the highway, relief workers in the Autonomous Re-gion in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) have intensified their own “offensive opera-tion,” that is relief goods distribution to about 33,000 internally displaced persons in Maguindanao’s 11 towns.

Jesus said they will come, and so it is clear that there is no one who can stop those rains, floods and winds now.

Side by side with gov-ernmental efforts to address the problems brought about by those natural calamities, we should ask our people to precisely do what Jesus said must be done, to avoid their devastating effects---which are, to listen to Him and obey Him. In other words, we must ask our people, as a matter of strategy for national survival, to go concretely back to God.

How do we concretely go back to God? Joshua 1:8 gives us one definite way of doing it, when it said: “Do not forget to read the Book of the Law; meditate on it day and night; and carefully obey everything that is written in it. Then you will become prosperous and successful.” Let us do this now, while there is still time.

MANILA, Aug. 9 -- Manila of the Philippines, the team no one wanted

to help, blasted West of Los Angeles, 14-2, in only five innings and gifted the country its first girls softball Big League World Series championship for age 16-18 Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) at the main field huge Vanderbilt Ballpark in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

The Golden Girls, who arrived at the tournament site with only 10 players after three of its members were left behind for lack of funds, capped an seven-straight winning run, including six in the elimination round to finally bring home the bacon, denied them three times in the last four years.

Against a team not coming from the host State for the first time since 2008, the Golden Girls of coach Ana Santiago, eight of them coming from the UAAP champion Adamson University, played with ease relative and lesser pressure as they virtually wrapped up the crown as early as the top of opening frame where they rained the enemies with three runs

from the City Angels never really threatened.

Nineteen-year-old Rizza Ber-nardino, the right-handed wonder from Sta. Cruz, Laguna, had the Los Angeles batters in the palm of her hands limiting the Americans mere five hits while she and her teammates peppered three rival pitchers with 14.

Such display of hitting prowess produced Team Manila four more runs in the second period, one each in the third and four in the fourth before pouring everything on their hapless opponents with five in the fifth forcing organizers from proceeding with the regular seven-inning contest.

Shortstop Queeny Sabobo batted in three runs in two-of-three trips to the plate underscoring the Golden girls’ superiority with their bats where all nine of batters Santiago fielded in connecting at least once.

Four other Manilenyas each sent home two each of their teammates – Bernardino herself, left fielder Mary Joy Floranza of Polytechnic University of the Philippines on two-of-four at bat, second base girl Krisna Paguican (2-of-4), and right fielder Kristina Lacupa, of the

University of Santo Tomas (1-of-3).Third base girl Michelle Lentija

and catcher Glesyl Opjer had one RBI each

“Sa wakas, nakuha rin. Mabuti na lang hindi ang host ang nakala-ban sa championship,” Santiago, who also engineered the Philippines Blu Gir ls gold medal tr iumphs in the 2007 and 2011 Southeast Asian Games sighed with relief reminiscing her sad experience thrice in 2008, 2010 and last year where Manila ended up bridesmaid, losing the title to host Central of Michigan State.

Manila’s 2008 and 2010 runner up finishes were fashioned out under Manila Charter presidents, engineer Robert Evangelista and Filomeno “Boy Codinera, respectively.

Manila Councilor Che Borromeo was responsible for the 2011 silver medal feat as well as this year’s tile victory.

“Akala ko nga mahihirapan na naman, expecially noong hindi makasama ang tatlong player dahil walang pera,” she said.

“Its’ good nakasunod, kung hindi pilay talaga kasi lalabas isa lang ang substitute. Siyam na player ang

kailangan para maka-kumpleto ng team sa isang laro, di ba?”

Except for Sabobo, everybody in team Manila’s murderous row suc-ceeded in crossing the plate as the Golden Girls further complemented their offensive threat with superior base-running.

Team Manila’s triumphant march to the championship was the second for the country in the World Series for the eight-division, eight-age Little League International boys baseball and girls softball programs.

IN 2003, the girls softball team of Bacolod City in the Junior League (13-14) category, likewise, romped off with the World Series diadem in their division in the championship held in Kirkland, Washington.

Five of Santiago’s starter are mainstays of UAAP titlist Adamson Lady Falcons – Bernardino, Pagui-can, Lentija, Sabobo and Opjer. Center fielder Gene Joy Parilla, Lacupa and catcher Charmaine Joy Oria are from UST.

Rounding out the lineup are Maria Luna Amparo of UST and Adamson’s Mary Jane Fabellar, Andrea Mae Gonzales and Baby Jane Raro. (PNA)

Filipino rider Danny Caluag, the country’s last hope for an Olympic

medal in London, bows out of the race to the Games’ BMX semifinals on Thursday.

Caluag raced for 5 runs in the quarterfinals, but didn’t make it for the semifinal round.

His loss effectively signaled the Philippines’ campaign in the 2012 London Olympics.

During the 5-run race, the competitors were awarded points according to their places for each run. Those with the lowest points advanced to the semis.

Caluag incurred a total of 29 points after 5 runs in heat 3.

He tumbled with 6 other riders during the run, but he recovered fast and finished 5th in the group.

The 25-year-old Filipino-American, who finished second to the last in the seeding phase,

The Filipino-American tallied a better finish in his third run, ranking 6th among the 8 riders.

Caluag incurred 18 points, after 3 runs, 15 points away from Connor Fields of the US, who only incurred a total of 3 points in 3 runs.

The Filipino finished all 5 runs with a total of 29 points, ranking 6th in his group dur-ing their final run.
