THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) attracted 691 voter registrants in its pilot implementation of the Register Anywhere Program (RAP) in Central Visayas on Feb. 27-28, 2024.Comelec started at the University of San Carlos (USC) Talamban Campus in Cebu City on Feb. 27, registering 210 individuals, including students, faculty and staff. The following day, Feb. 28, Comelec served 481 registrants at the Cebu Doctors’ University (CDU) in Mandaue City.The Comelec Central Office also held separate voter education seminars for USC and CDU, covering topics such as voter rights, responsibilities and candidate information.RAP at USC Comelec Cebu spokesperson Omar Sharif Mamalinta said that through RAP, individuals are no longer confined to their local Comelec offices for registration. He said designated sites across the country will host Comelec facilities serving as convenient hubs for voter registration.He said participants can register regardless of their current residence.Aside from accommodating first-time voters, other RAP services cover individuals who are relocating, returning from overseas, needing to correct information, and reactivating deactivated registration at any RAP site.For first-year computer science student Shawn Clifford Veloso, 20, the event proved to be convenient for students to register. Hailing from Tacloban City in Leyte, Veloso said the event made the registration “easier and more accessible” for would-be first-time voters like himself. He was joined by three of his classmates in the registration.Adrian Auman, 18, a first-year industrial engineering student, echoed Veloso’s sentiments. He said registering was easy for them because the event took place inside the campus, particularly at the School of Architecture, Fine Arts and Design building. Voter’s educationMeanwhile, the voter’s education seminar held at the university’s Michael Richartz Center was led by Emmalyn Masongsong of the Comelec Central Office’s Education Information Department.Among the topics discussed were rules on electoral campaign.Mamalinta said: “If they will have sufficient or enough knowledge on voter’s education, they will be able to vote wisely... We want to educate them on who to vote or who not to vote.”Mamalinta added that other institutions may request their office to conduct satellite registration, including RAP, in different areas, such as malls, universities and barangays. However, he specified that there must be at least 200 registrants.RAP at CDUThe registrants from CDU included 110 applicants from Lapu-Lapu City, 111 from Cebu City First District, 141 from Cebu City Second District and 119 from Mandaue City.Mamalinta said the pilot tests were carried out in an orderly manner at the USC and CDU, as the Comelec personnel did not face any technical difficulties during the program’s implementation.A voter’s education seminar was also held at CDU. It was attended by 1,300 National Service Training Program students of the university. Other RAP schedulesMamalinta said neighboring provinces in Central Visayas will have their respective RAP pilot tests throughout the year. Negros Oriental will have its RAP pilot test in April, Siquijor in May, Cebu Province in June and Bohol in July.The nationwide implementation of RAP aims to provide more options and opportunities for voter registration in areas with higher concentrations of foot traffic and gatherings of individuals eligible to vote. / KJF, HIC How to play online casino in Philippines using gcash Philippines Joshua Usigan & Ma. Anna Primero, BipsU InternsA SENSE of hopelessness hangs in the air as vegetable and fruit vendors in Carbon Public Market in Cebu City grapple with the effects of El Niño, causing distress among those who face financial ruin. For Susan Bajenting, a vegetable vendor, coping with the sight of her hard-earned produce rotting away is a bitter pill to swallow.“Among baligya malawos ug madaot, ug inig malaya, amo na pong hugasan butangan og ice para mopresko apan makuhaan gyud og timbang so lugi gihapon,” Bajenting said.(Our products are susceptible to spoilage. When they start to wither, we must rinse them and place them on ice to maintain their freshness. Nonetheless, this process still leads to losses due to its impact on their weight.)“Para namo maapektuhan g’yud mi kay gamay nalang man ang supply... gamay og kita para lang naay gamay na kwarta, makabayad sa tag-iya,” she added.(The El Niño phenomenon significantly affects us as it affects our supply chain. Despite minimal profits, we must sell to cover rent for our stall.)Bajenting said they initially sold their lettuce at P100 per kilo, but last week, due to cost considerations, they raised the price to P120 to cover expenses. With the dry season affecting supply, she said they are contemplating a further increase to P200 per kilo.As the temperature soars and the rainfall becomes erratic, the once-fresh produce will now wilt prematurely, succumbing to decay before it reaches the hands of the consumer. Rico Daral Jr., also a vegetable vendor, shared the same frustration with Bajenting as he also experienced a sudden drop in earnings.He said the sales are slow and it’s quite challenging to store certain vegetables, which are not high in demand, in foam and ice due to their inability to withstand the heat.Likewise, fruit vendors are also taking a hit with the prevailing dry season, having a ripple effect on consumers, with vendors adjusting the prices significantly.For instance, a kilo of avocado, previously priced at P150, now sells for up to P200, while cucumbers, previously priced at P25 per kilo, now cost P50 per kilo. Fruit vendors, however, are capitalizing on increased demand, especially during this year’s Holy Week when people seek fruits and vegetables as meat alternatives during the Lenten period.“We earned a bit this week because it’s Holy Week. During such occasions, fruits and vegetables are really in demand,” Samuel Montemayor, a fruit vendor and supplier, said in Cebuano.The repercussions of El Niño extend beyond the market stalls, casting a long shadow over the wallets of consumers, but they have little choice but to pay up. An eatery owner, who asked not to be named, said she usually buys squash, eggplant, cucumber, and other leafy vegetables, and he can attest to the rise in prices for these items.However, he acknowledged that vendors are also affected by the hot weather and understood their need to adjust prices accordingly.While there might be some rain in the city during this period, the El Niño is expected to persist for several months -- possibly prolonging the struggle of vendors to make ends meet.

What gambling is legal in Philippines? THE Senate approved on third and final reading on Monday, February 19, 2024, a measure seeking to increase the daily minimum wage of workers in the private sector by P100.With 20 affirmative votes, zero negative votes and no abstention, the Senate passed Senate Bill 2534, or “An Act Providing for a 100 Pesos Daily Minimum Wage Increase for Employees and Workers in the Private Sector," which was authored by Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri and sponsored by Senator Jinggoy Estrada.Senators Lito Lapid, Imee Marcos, Cynthia Villar and Mark Villar were not present in the session hall during the voting.The measure covers all minimum wage earners in the private sector in the entire country, whether agricultural or non-agricultural. Currently, there are 4.2 million minimum wage earners in the country.In a statement, Estrada said the measure is responsive to the needs of the Filipinos, especially amid the rising cost of living and soaring prices of basic commodities.He noted that the last legislated wage hike that was implemented in the country dates back to 1989 with the enactment of Republic Act (RA) 6727, or the Wage Rationalization Act.Under RA 6727, wages would be set on a regional basis by the regional wage boards.Estrada said that while he recognizes the concerns that the proposed law could adversely impact businesses and impede economic growth, “a flourishing economy relies on the vitality of its workforce, who are considered the lifeblood of enterprises.”"At dapat nating pangalagaan at unahin ang interes ng ating mga manggagawa (And we must protect and prioritize the interests of our workers)," he said."Let us not underestimate the ripple effect of the Senate's collective action. A higher minimum wage does not only impact the lives of those directly affected but reverberates throughout our communities, stimulating local economies, and ensuring that people would have more money in their pockets to meet their basic needs," he added.Senator Grace Poe noted that based on a study conducted by the Ibon Foundation in January, a family of five in the National Capital Region needs P1,193 per day or P25,946 a month to live decently. She said it is almost half of the existing minimum wage in the region which is pegged at P610.“Ano bang mabibili ng P610 (What can P610 buy)? Considering the food threshold, a family of five will need at least P300 daily to meet the minimum basic food needs. This leaves the household around P310 to cover such needs as housing, tubig, kuryente, medical care, education at transportation. So 'yung para sa iba sa atin, na pag sinabi, nakita natin ang value meal ng McDonald's or Jollibee na less than P100, parang mura ba 'yon kung ganito kaliit ang sinusuweldo mo, talagang pang espesyal na okasyon na lamang ang mga ganito,” she said.“Today, I join our colleagues and the good sponsor in this noble pursuit to provide our hardworking Filipino labor force with a decent living wage,” she added.Senator Francis Escudero clarified that the proposed measure will not affect the Wage Rationalization Act of 1989, the Barangay Micro Business Enterprises Act of 2002 or small companies that only have 10 employees or those with an investment of P3 million or less.Meanwhile, in a television interview, Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma warned of the possible increase I the prices of basic goods and services if the bill is passed into law.“Alam po natin na karamihan ng ating mga negosyante, nandoon sa maliliit na kategorya. Subalit meron po sigurong kakayanin, meron ding hindi kakayanin,” he said.(We know that most of our entrepreneurs are in small categories. But there are people who can handle it, and there are people who can't handle it.)“Kapag merong pag-uusap tungkol sa pagtaas ng suweldo, medyo nakakaramdam na po tayo ng pagtaas ng presyo ng pangunahing bilihin. Iyon pong may kinalaman sa transport. So para pong ano 'yan chain reaction. Kaya ang lagi naman pong tinatanaw ng DOLE sana mabalanse,” he added.Laguesma said, though, that they will come up with interventions to aid micro and small businesses in case the minimum wage increases by P100 and to ensure that workers will remain employed.Federation of Free Workers president Sonny Matula urged the House of Representatives to immediately approve the counterpart bill of SB 2534, House Bill 7871, which proposes a P150 daily wage hike, and members of Makabayan bloc’s House Bill 7568, which seeks an across-the-board daily wage increase of P750.“Ang bola ay nasa House of Representatives. Di dapat sila matutulog tungkol dito,” he said.“Our eyes are now on the HOR. We will persuade them to shoot the ball,” he added. (TPM/SunStar Philippines)

Joshua Usigan & Ma. Anna Primero, BipsU InternsA SENSE of hopelessness hangs in the air as vegetable and fruit vendors in Carbon Public Market in Cebu City grapple with the effects of El Niño, causing distress among those who face financial ruin. For Susan Bajenting, a vegetable vendor, coping with the sight of her hard-earned produce rotting away is a bitter pill to swallow.“Among baligya malawos ug madaot, ug inig malaya, amo na pong hugasan butangan og ice para mopresko apan makuhaan gyud og timbang so lugi gihapon,” Bajenting said.(Our products are susceptible to spoilage. When they start to wither, we must rinse them and place them on ice to maintain their freshness. Nonetheless, this process still leads to losses due to its impact on their weight.)“Para namo maapektuhan g’yud mi kay gamay nalang man ang supply... gamay og kita para lang naay gamay na kwarta, makabayad sa tag-iya,” she added.(The El Niño phenomenon significantly affects us as it affects our supply chain. Despite minimal profits, we must sell to cover rent for our stall.)Bajenting said they initially sold their lettuce at P100 per kilo, but last week, due to cost considerations, they raised the price to P120 to cover expenses. With the dry season affecting supply, she said they are contemplating a further increase to P200 per kilo.As the temperature soars and the rainfall becomes erratic, the once-fresh produce will now wilt prematurely, succumbing to decay before it reaches the hands of the consumer. Rico Daral Jr., also a vegetable vendor, shared the same frustration with Bajenting as he also experienced a sudden drop in earnings.He said the sales are slow and it’s quite challenging to store certain vegetables, which are not high in demand, in foam and ice due to their inability to withstand the heat.Likewise, fruit vendors are also taking a hit with the prevailing dry season, having a ripple effect on consumers, with vendors adjusting the prices significantly.For instance, a kilo of avocado, previously priced at P150, now sells for up to P200, while cucumbers, previously priced at P25 per kilo, now cost P50 per kilo. Fruit vendors, however, are capitalizing on increased demand, especially during this year’s Holy Week when people seek fruits and vegetables as meat alternatives during the Lenten period.“We earned a bit this week because it’s Holy Week. During such occasions, fruits and vegetables are really in demand,” Samuel Montemayor, a fruit vendor and supplier, said in Cebuano.The repercussions of El Niño extend beyond the market stalls, casting a long shadow over the wallets of consumers, but they have little choice but to pay up. An eatery owner, who asked not to be named, said she usually buys squash, eggplant, cucumber, and other leafy vegetables, and he can attest to the rise in prices for these items.However, he acknowledged that vendors are also affected by the hot weather and understood their need to adjust prices accordingly.While there might be some rain in the city during this period, the El Niño is expected to persist for several months -- possibly prolonging the struggle of vendors to make ends meet. licensed online casinos THE Senate approved on third and final reading on Monday, February 19, 2024, a measure seeking to increase the daily minimum wage of workers in the private sector by P100.With 20 affirmative votes, zero negative votes and no abstention, the Senate passed Senate Bill 2534, or “An Act Providing for a 100 Pesos Daily Minimum Wage Increase for Employees and Workers in the Private Sector," which was authored by Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri and sponsored by Senator Jinggoy Estrada.Senators Lito Lapid, Imee Marcos, Cynthia Villar and Mark Villar were not present in the session hall during the voting.The measure covers all minimum wage earners in the private sector in the entire country, whether agricultural or non-agricultural. Currently, there are 4.2 million minimum wage earners in the country.In a statement, Estrada said the measure is responsive to the needs of the Filipinos, especially amid the rising cost of living and soaring prices of basic commodities.He noted that the last legislated wage hike that was implemented in the country dates back to 1989 with the enactment of Republic Act (RA) 6727, or the Wage Rationalization Act.Under RA 6727, wages would be set on a regional basis by the regional wage boards.Estrada said that while he recognizes the concerns that the proposed law could adversely impact businesses and impede economic growth, “a flourishing economy relies on the vitality of its workforce, who are considered the lifeblood of enterprises.”"At dapat nating pangalagaan at unahin ang interes ng ating mga manggagawa (And we must protect and prioritize the interests of our workers)," he said."Let us not underestimate the ripple effect of the Senate's collective action. A higher minimum wage does not only impact the lives of those directly affected but reverberates throughout our communities, stimulating local economies, and ensuring that people would have more money in their pockets to meet their basic needs," he added.Senator Grace Poe noted that based on a study conducted by the Ibon Foundation in January, a family of five in the National Capital Region needs P1,193 per day or P25,946 a month to live decently. She said it is almost half of the existing minimum wage in the region which is pegged at P610.“Ano bang mabibili ng P610 (What can P610 buy)? Considering the food threshold, a family of five will need at least P300 daily to meet the minimum basic food needs. This leaves the household around P310 to cover such needs as housing, tubig, kuryente, medical care, education at transportation. So 'yung para sa iba sa atin, na pag sinabi, nakita natin ang value meal ng McDonald's or Jollibee na less than P100, parang mura ba 'yon kung ganito kaliit ang sinusuweldo mo, talagang pang espesyal na okasyon na lamang ang mga ganito,” she said.“Today, I join our colleagues and the good sponsor in this noble pursuit to provide our hardworking Filipino labor force with a decent living wage,” she added.Senator Francis Escudero clarified that the proposed measure will not affect the Wage Rationalization Act of 1989, the Barangay Micro Business Enterprises Act of 2002 or small companies that only have 10 employees or those with an investment of P3 million or less.Meanwhile, in a television interview, Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma warned of the possible increase I the prices of basic goods and services if the bill is passed into law.“Alam po natin na karamihan ng ating mga negosyante, nandoon sa maliliit na kategorya. Subalit meron po sigurong kakayanin, meron ding hindi kakayanin,” he said.(We know that most of our entrepreneurs are in small categories. But there are people who can handle it, and there are people who can't handle it.)“Kapag merong pag-uusap tungkol sa pagtaas ng suweldo, medyo nakakaramdam na po tayo ng pagtaas ng presyo ng pangunahing bilihin. Iyon pong may kinalaman sa transport. So para pong ano 'yan chain reaction. Kaya ang lagi naman pong tinatanaw ng DOLE sana mabalanse,” he added.Laguesma said, though, that they will come up with interventions to aid micro and small businesses in case the minimum wage increases by P100 and to ensure that workers will remain employed.Federation of Free Workers president Sonny Matula urged the House of Representatives to immediately approve the counterpart bill of SB 2534, House Bill 7871, which proposes a P150 daily wage hike, and members of Makabayan bloc’s House Bill 7568, which seeks an across-the-board daily wage increase of P750.“Ang bola ay nasa House of Representatives. Di dapat sila matutulog tungkol dito,” he said.“Our eyes are now on the HOR. We will persuade them to shoot the ball,” he added. (TPM/SunStar Philippines)
