PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will bring home $4 billion, or P220 billion worth of investment deals from his visit to Germany.On Tuesday, March 12, 2024, the Department of Trade and Industry held the Philippine-Germany business forum in Berlin where eight different types of agreements, three letters of intent (LOI) from different German companies, two memoranda of agreement (MOA), and three memoranda of understanding (MOU), covering various sectors, were signed.The LOIs were for the development of a partner hospital to become a training center to support the training needs of other lower tier hospitals, Innovation Think Tank (ITT) hub and “spoke model” to address the strategic target of an inclusive innovation ecosystem in the Philippines, and for the strategic and digital partnership in healthcare with the Department of Health (DOH) with the goal of revolutionizing healthcare in the Philippines, ensuring safety, quality, accessibility and affordability.Through a memorandum of agreement the Philippine government and a German company will embark into a Public Private Partnership to rehabilitate, reclaim, and recultivate degraded farm lands in the Philippines, while another MOA is aimed at expanding potential collaborations in mobility solutions, software services, manufacturing, factory automation, logistics services, energy, security, safety systems for buildings, consumer appliances, and healthcare.Marcos also witnessed the signing of MOU for the establishment of fully integrated solar cell manufacturing facility in the country, manufacturing facility that will modify automobiles into high-end 1 of 1 version and armor protected cars, as well as manufacture military grade armored personnel carriers for the Asian market and data centers that will host a digital insurance platform that will serve the Philippines and Asean region as the group’s main expansion outside of the European Union.In his speech, Marcos expressed gratitude to the German business leaders for participating in the event.He touted the Philippines as the “best choice for investments,” as he reiterated his administration’s commitment to ensure efficient support to foreign investors through purposeful reforms of key legislative amendments.“Together with you as our strategic partner, we can make these investments happen in the Philippines. I invite esteemed German business leaders to continue to keep in mind the Philippines as a reliable partner that can support your market expansion and your operations,” he said.“We prioritize the ease of doing business, exemplified by efforts to simplify tax payments and to streamline regulations, showcasing our unwavering support for businesses,” he added.Marcos noted the amendments to the Public Service Act (PSA), Foreign Investments Act (FIA), Retail Trade Liberalization Act (RTLA), and Renewable Energy (RE) Act, which “mark a new era for strategic investments.”He added the streamlined business registration, infrastructure development and the Comprehensive Tax Reform Program (Create Act), which made the Philippines one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia.The President also highlighted other government efforts such as the overhaul of fiscal incentive structures and responsive policies and the public-private partnership (PPPs), which all play pivotal roles in promoting private sector participation.Marcos also cited the establishment of the Maharlika Investment Fund, “which underscores the government’s dedication to financing priority projects and driving socioeconomic impact.”The chief executive also said that the Philippines is turning to Germany to further foster strong business partnerships and collaboration particularly in renewable energy being European Union’s biggest economy both in Gross Domestic Products and population and a global force in technology and innovation.He said he is always elated by the interest of German companies to support the country’s commitment to sustainability and climate resiliency.“To further support these investments, we have put in place several energy transition policies including investment enablers designed to incentivize energy efficiency,” said Marcos.“We are also working on developing programs that will support and facilitate the efforts to decarbonize our economy. I have high hopes that we can welcome the opportunity for greater cooperation on climate change and energy transition,” he added.He noted that the Philippines is positioning itself as a regional hub for smart and sustainable manufacturing by attracting sustainability-driven strategic investments powered by renewable energy.Marcos said the country recognizes that there are complementarities to be explored in critical minerals, and it is open to having a dedicated dialogue with German companies on the sustainable processing of green metals to be supported by strong adherence to high labor and environmental standards.With the recent global challenges, the President underscored the dangers of limited sourcing, or concentrating supplies in a single country, as he urged for the urgent need to diversify production locations and explore alternative materials to de-risk and minimize disruptions in supply chains.“Moreover, the transition to a low-carbon or net-zero scenario has further propelled the de-risking trend,” Marcos said.“The Philippines and Germany both have aspirations for de-risked and diversified production and market value chains, which future-proofs our economies from the geo-political vagaries of our times,” he added.Marcos also expressed gratitude to the Filipino community in Berlin for their unwavering support as they contributed to the government’s efforts to secure foreign investments through their invaluable work.“You are the envoys, para kayong mga ambassador lahat ng ating kultura. You exemplify the values of family, faith, honesty, hard work, compassion, and solidarity wherever you go,” Marcos told the Filipino community gathering.“Your presence in host countries fosters, hindi lamang dito sa Germany kundi lahat ng ating mga kababayan na nagtatrabaho sa iba’t-ibang bansa at -- the host countries foster goodwill and understanding. It strengthens the bonds between our two nations. It enriches the global community,” he added.Marcos vowed that his administration will continue to work hard and match their contributions by reforms and programs under the “Bagong Pilipinas” agenda.Marcos was the first Philippine president to address German business leaders in 10 years, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the Philippine-Germany diplomatic relations.

The previous deadline was March 31.The executive department requested for the extension of the deadline through a letter from City Treasurer’s Office (CTO) head Mare Vae Reyes dated Feb. 19 to Cebu City Councilor Noel Wenceslao, chairman of the committee on budget and finance.Wenceslao then filed a resolution for the extension, which was approved by the City Council during its regular session on Wednesday, March 6.The councilor, in his resolution, urged the council “to approve the extension of time for the payment... in order to compensate the lost time due to long weekend and/or to give reasonable and sufficient time to the taxpayers of the taxing jurisdiction of Cebu City to pay their taxes.”Reyes, in her letter to Wenceslao, said the malfunction on their payment system started last Feb. 13.Reyes told SunStar Cebu in a text message on Thursday, March 7, that the system was fixed last Feb. 22.Not only was the payment system affected by the software malfunction last February, but it had also affected various lines of services in City Hall, said Reyes in her letter.Another reason for the executive department’s request for extension was the observance of Holy Thursday (March 28) and Good Friday (March 29), which are non-working holidays.She also said March 31 falls on a Sunday, which is a non-working day.The RPT is one of the main sources of City Hall’s local revenue.Since 2022, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama has been pushing for the updating of the Real Property Tax Code of Cebu City.While the City aimed to raise P50 billion for its 2023 annual budget, only P7.5 billion had been collected from various sources as of October 2023. / JJL

The video concerned netizens. It gained 3.4 million views as of 8 p.m. Friday, March 15.“Shoutout to the woman who can’t understand simple instructions. She’s been told numerous times that it’s ‘prohibited’ to touch the turtles. Not only did she touch them, she even pushed them,” the uploader under the TikTok handle “HomeWorkoutBasic” said in Pilipino. The incident reportedly happened on Saturday, March 9. “What happened to this woman? She’s not following the rules! She knows that touching sea turtles is not allowed,” another Facebook user said while sharing a SunStar Cebu post on the matter. Moalboal officials have since issued a reminder to the public on Wednesday, March 13, emphasizing the importance of respecting marine wildlife and refraining from any activities that may cause harm to them. Cabaron expressed disappointment saying that tourists are given a thorough briefing on proper conduct before participating in any activities. “They are told not to touch the marine life because we have a local ordinance that [protects] them. It is disappointing that despite the briefing and regular reminders, incidents like this happen,” said Cabaron.The mayor explained that there is a local ordinance in place that aims to protect marine life, and anyone caught violating the ordinance will be fined P2,500.The ordinance entitled “Institutionalizing and regulating the conduct of snorkeling and island hopping activities within the Pescador Island, marine protected areas, and other coastal areas within the municipal waters, and the establishment of the environmental user’s fee system” was passed on Sept. 27, 2021.Section 20 of the ordinance lists 13 violations, including a prohibition on touching any marine life.Moalboal officials are now looking for the tourist and her local guide that was seen in the video.“We treasure and protect our marine life because as a tourist town, it is a major factor in our economy. We will not tolerate actions such as this and we will ensure that the individual will be fined to discourage similar reckless actions,” Cabaron said.Wild animalsMylene Panuncial-Sadagnot, a marine biologist for 21 years and professor at Cebu Normal University, said turtles, like other wild animals, are not domesticated pets that go about and seek people’s attention at times.She also said touching turtles could provoke them to retaliate or bite if they feel agitated by the presence of humans viewed as a potential threat.Sadagnot observed that turtles in Moalboal do not necessarily reproduce there, as they primarily use the area as a feeding ground rather than a breeding site. Male turtles eventually migrate and depart for the breeding season, leaving female turtles accustomed to the environment.She explained the situation is dangerous for both humans and turtles as it could result in bites or wounds that could be severe for humans; and secondly, turtles might be vulnerable to poaching.Poaching refers to the illegal hunting, capturing, or killing of wildlife, typically for commercial gain. Additionally, the waters of Moalboal are part of the Tañon Strait Protected Seascape, located between the islands of Cebu and Negros. It is the largest marine protected area in the Philippines, covering 5,182 square kilometers.Under Presidential Proclamation 1234, which created the protected seascape in 1998, the entire Tañon Strait is protected, and all cetaceans are afforded full protection by local and national laws.Cabaron said the local tourism office is moving to improve the quality of snorkeling guides by having them accredited by the Department of Tourism. To achieve this, officials recently conducted a seven-day seminar for around 200 guides in Moalboal. The seminar mainly focused on teaching proper protocols in handling guests and marine life. / KJF, CDF

A SOFTWARE malfunction was experienced at the Cebu City Hall for more than a week last February, leading to several real property owners and taxpayers failing to pay their tax obligations.The incident prompted the City to extend the deadline of the RPT payment for the first quarter of the year to April 5, 2024.

I invite esteemed German business leaders to continue to keep in mind the Philippines as a reliable partner that can support your market expansion and your operations,” he said.“We prioritize the ease of doing business, exemplified by efforts to simplify tax payments and to streamline regulations, showcasing our unwavering support for businesses,” he added.Marcos noted the amendments to the Public Service Act (PSA), Foreign Investments Act (FIA), Retail Trade Liberalization Act (RTLA), and Renewable Energy (RE) Act, which “mark a new era for strategic investments.”He added the streamlined business registration, infrastructure development and the Comprehensive Tax Reform Program (Create Act), which made the Philippines one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia.The President also highlighted other government efforts such as the overhaul of fiscal incentive structures and responsive policies and the public-private partnership (PPPs), which all play pivotal roles in promoting private sector participation.Marcos also cited the establishment of the Maharlika Investment Fund, “which underscores the government’s dedication to financing priority projects and driving socioeconomic impact.”The chief executive also said that the Philippines is turning to Germany to further foster strong business partnerships and collaboration particularly in renewable energy being European Union’s biggest economy both in Gross Domestic Products and population and a global force in technology and innovation.He said he is always elated by the interest of German companies to support the country’s commitment to sustainability and climate resiliency.“To further support these investments, we have put in place several energy transition policies including investment enablers designed to incentivize energy efficiency,” said Marcos.“We are also working on developing programs that will support and facilitate the efforts to decarbonize our economy. I have high hopes that we can welcome the opportunity for greater cooperation on climate change and energy transition,” he added.He noted that the Philippines is positioning itself as a regional hub for smart and sustainable manufacturing by attracting sustainability-driven strategic investments powered by renewable energy.Marcos said the country recognizes that there are complementarities to be explored in critical minerals, and it is open to having a dedicated dialogue with German companies on the sustainable processing of green metals to be supported by strong adherence to high labor and environmental standards.With the recent global challenges, the President underscored the dangers of limited sourcing, or concentrating supplies in a single country, as he urged for the urgent need to diversify production locations and explore alternative materials to de-risk and minimize disruptions in supply chains.“Moreover, the transition to a low-carbon or net-zero scenario has further propelled the de-risking trend,” Marcos said.“The Philippines and Germany both have aspirations for de-risked and diversified production and market value chains, which future-proofs our economies from the geo-political vagaries of our times,” he added.Marcos also expressed gratitude to the Filipino community in Berlin for their unwavering support as they contributed to the government’s efforts to secure foreign investments through their invaluable work.“You are the envoys, para kayong mga ambassador lahat ng ating kultura. You exemplify the values of family, faith, honesty, hard work, compassion, and solidarity wherever you go,” Marcos told the Filipino community gathering.“Your presence in host countries fosters, hindi lamang dito sa Germany kundi lahat ng ating mga kababayan na nagtatrabaho sa iba’t-ibang bansa at -- the host countries foster goodwill and understanding. It strengthens the bonds between our two nations. It enriches the global community,” he added.Marcos vowed that his administration will continue to work hard and match their contributions by reforms and programs under the “Bagong Pilipinas” agenda.Marcos was the first Philippine president to address German business leaders in 10 years, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the Philippine-Germany diplomatic relations.

A SOFTWARE malfunction was experienced at the Cebu City Hall for more than a week last February, leading to several real property owners and taxpayers failing to pay their tax obligations.The incident prompted the City to extend the deadline of the RPT payment for the first quarter of the year to April 5, 2024. The previous deadline was March 31.The executive department requested for the extension of the deadline through a letter from City Treasurer’s Office (CTO) head Mare Vae Reyes dated Feb. 19 to Cebu City Councilor Noel Wenceslao, chairman of the committee on budget and finance.Wenceslao then filed a resolution for the extension, which was approved by the City Council during its regular session on Wednesday, March 6.The councilor, in his resolution, urged the council “to approve the extension of time for the payment... in order to compensate the lost time due to long weekend and/or to give reasonable and sufficient time to the taxpayers of the taxing jurisdiction of Cebu City to pay their taxes.”Reyes, in her letter to Wenceslao, said the malfunction on their payment system started last Feb. 13.Reyes told SunStar Cebu in a text message on Thursday, March 7, that the system was fixed last Feb. 22.Not only was the payment system affected by the software malfunction last February, but it had also affected various lines of services in City Hall, said Reyes in her letter.Another reason for the executive department’s request for extension was the observance of Holy Thursday (March 28) and Good Friday (March 29), which are non-working holidays.She also said March 31 falls on a Sunday, which is a non-working day.The RPT is one of the main sources of City Hall’s local revenue.Since 2022, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama has been pushing for the updating of the Real Property Tax Code of Cebu City.While the City aimed to raise P50 billion for its 2023 annual budget, only P7.5 billion had been collected from various sources as of October 2023. / JJL licensed online casinos MOALBOAL Mayor Inocentes Cabaron has issued a stern warning to tourists in that southern town, particularly those engaged in water activities, to refrain from disturbing marine life.“We will not tolerate actions such as this,” said Cabaron after a video surfaced online last Monday, March 11, 2024, showing a female tourist touching a sea turtle while snorkeling in Panagsama Beach, one of Moalboal’s top tourist attractions. The video concerned netizens. It gained 3.4 million views as of 8 p.m. Friday, March 15.“Shoutout to the woman who can’t understand simple instructions. She’s been told numerous times that it’s ‘prohibited’ to touch the turtles. Not only did she touch them, she even pushed them,” the uploader under the TikTok handle “HomeWorkoutBasic” said in Pilipino. The incident reportedly happened on Saturday, March 9. “What happened to this woman? She’s not following the rules! She knows that touching sea turtles is not allowed,” another Facebook user said while sharing a SunStar Cebu post on the matter. Moalboal officials have since issued a reminder to the public on Wednesday, March 13, emphasizing the importance of respecting marine wildlife and refraining from any activities that may cause harm to them. Cabaron expressed disappointment saying that tourists are given a thorough briefing on proper conduct before participating in any activities. “They are told not to touch the marine life because we have a local ordinance that [protects] them. It is disappointing that despite the briefing and regular reminders, incidents like this happen,” said Cabaron.The mayor explained that there is a local ordinance in place that aims to protect marine life, and anyone caught violating the ordinance will be fined P2,500.The ordinance entitled “Institutionalizing and regulating the conduct of snorkeling and island hopping activities within the Pescador Island, marine protected areas, and other coastal areas within the municipal waters, and the establishment of the environmental user’s fee system” was passed on Sept. 27, 2021.Section 20 of the ordinance lists 13 violations, including a prohibition on touching any marine life.Moalboal officials are now looking for the tourist and her local guide that was seen in the video.“We treasure and protect our marine life because as a tourist town, it is a major factor in our economy. We will not tolerate actions such as this and we will ensure that the individual will be fined to discourage similar reckless actions,” Cabaron said.Wild animalsMylene Panuncial-Sadagnot, a marine biologist for 21 years and professor at Cebu Normal University, said turtles, like other wild animals, are not domesticated pets that go about and seek people’s attention at times.She also said touching turtles could provoke them to retaliate or bite if they feel agitated by the presence of humans viewed as a potential threat.Sadagnot observed that turtles in Moalboal do not necessarily reproduce there, as they primarily use the area as a feeding ground rather than a breeding site. Male turtles eventually migrate and depart for the breeding season, leaving female turtles accustomed to the environment.She explained the situation is dangerous for both humans and turtles as it could result in bites or wounds that could be severe for humans; and secondly, turtles might be vulnerable to poaching.Poaching refers to the illegal hunting, capturing, or killing of wildlife, typically for commercial gain. Additionally, the waters of Moalboal are part of the Tañon Strait Protected Seascape, located between the islands of Cebu and Negros. It is the largest marine protected area in the Philippines, covering 5,182 square kilometers.Under Presidential Proclamation 1234, which created the protected seascape in 1998, the entire Tañon Strait is protected, and all cetaceans are afforded full protection by local and national laws.Cabaron said the local tourism office is moving to improve the quality of snorkeling guides by having them accredited by the Department of Tourism. To achieve this, officials recently conducted a seven-day seminar for around 200 guides in Moalboal. The seminar mainly focused on teaching proper protocols in handling guests and marine life. / KJF, CDF
