Chief Justice, Ombudsman part of ouster plot? Duterte thinks so

PRESIDENT Rodrigo R. Duterte believes the Ombudsman and Chief Justice are being used by political forces to remove him from the presidency, his spokesman said on Monday, Oct. 2. Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto C. Abella said in a press briefing that even though Mr. Duterte respects the Ombudsman as an institution, he emphasized that certain practices of people inside the institution may be the reason why he refuses to submit himself to investigation.“The President believes the Supreme Court Justice and the Ombudsman have allowed themselves to be used by certain political forces to discredit him and his administration in order to spark public outrage and eventually oust him from the Presidency.”

“In other words, he finds them suspect. And it is his prerogative to ask them to resign. He respects the institution. However, the practices of certain people, (that) may be suspect,” Mr. Abella said.

On Saturday, Mr. Duterte dared Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales and Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes P.A. Sereno to resign with him. He vowed anew not to submit himself to the Ombudsman’s investigation, repeating his accusation that the constitutional body has engaged in corrupt activities by accepting bribes from several law enforcers and lawmakers.

In a statement, Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador S. Panelo said “the President is not threatening the Office of the Ombudsman or any of its officers. He is merely reprimanding the body for not following the appropriate procedure for investigation and strongly reminding it to strictly observe the process as mandated by law and its own internal rules.”

Mr. Panelo also said that it is just proper for Mr. Duterte “to refrain from submitting himself to the jurisdiction of the Office of the Ombudsman given that the procedure being undertaken by is flawed at the onset.”

Mr. Abella for his part said Mr. Duterte has documents to back his allegations against Ms. Sereno.

“I’m sure he does. He’s a lawyer. He knows he must speak out of substantial evidence,” Mr. Abella said. — Rosemarie A. Zamora

Group flags ‘dismal’ record in licensure exam for teachers

THE COUNTRY’S overall performance in the Board Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (BLEPT) has been “dismal” for the past nine years and is even further declining, according to private sector-led advocacy group Philippine Business for Education (PBEd).

In a press briefing on Monday, Oct. 2., PBEd cited among its “key findings” in this area of education the “dismal” overall performance in the exam also known as Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET), a “consistently poor performance” among teacher education institutions (TEIs) and “more graduates falling behind” through the years dating back to 2009. This, despite teacher education ranking high among such priority disciplines that include medicine, business administration, and engineering, among others.

“We see it as symptomatic of a much bigger problem of teacher quality in the country,” PBEd President Chito Salazar said in a statement by the advocacy group. For her part, executive director Love B. Basillote noted in Monday’s presentation that “more than half (of TEIs) are performing below” the established national average of 50%.

“And that’s already putting the bar fairly low because the national average is not that high. It’s actually the lowest performing licensure exam in the country,…at 30%,” she added. This is in comparison with the Philippine Development Plan’s target last year of 53%, a range in which the field of medicine ranked the highest at 58%, according to figures credited to the Commission on Higher Education.

PBEd also presented other figures showing poorly performing TEIs outnumbering the good ones in at least nine regions, and the rise among LET repeaters again failing the exam.

ZERO PASSING RATES
Citing data from the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), PBEd presented a list of 27 poorly performing TEIs of which 13 have zero overall passing rates.

“You might notice that in the (poorly) performing schools, a lot of them are in Mindanao,” cited PBEd research manager Dylan S. Dellosa, adding that a number of them are in the city of Marawi.

The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and the Zamboanga Peninsula are among the regions that rank high among the poor performers, which, to be sure, are also represented by other regions elsewhere, notably the Ilocos, Bicol and the Visayas regions.

“Of this 27, you may note that nine or a full third are running on government funds, either local or state. So (right there), we already have questions on accountability. We need to institute… measures to (en)sure that at least the publicly funded ones have some level of accountability in terms of whether their programs (should) continue to operate,” Mr. Dellosa said.

PBEd calls for the closing down of at least 22 of the TEIs as an immediate solution to their poor performance.

“The exam itself (also) needs to be reformed. We must open it up to validity testing and item analysis, involve TEIs in test development, and revive the three-strike rule for takers,” Mr. Dellosa said, noting further that the said rule, akin to the Bar exams, “used to be the case with the LET” until this was revised by a memorandum.

Mr Dellosa noted the refusal “to release the questionnaire in every instance.” LET “remains one big mystery. Nobody really knows what happens in LET’s development.”

Ms. Basillote for her part said, “We’re also calling on the new PRC chair to release (the) exam, after each test instance, so experts can scrutinize whether or not it’s really a good screening mechanism.” — R.S. Torre with PBEd statement

PHL holds talks with China, Japan, other partners on energy ventures

By Victor V. Saulon
Sub-Editor

THE DEPARTMENT of Energy (DoE) said on Monday that the Philippines has held bilateral talks with China, Japan, Singapore, and the US-ASEAN Business Council on a possible cooperation in oil exploration and the natural gas industry.

It said the Philippine delegation, led by DoE Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi, also covered areas on renewable energy and emerging technologies during the talks.

“The Philippine government is committed to ensure necessary assistance to all energy investors from cooperation partners, and uphold to the government commitments for the benefit of both parties, and most importantly, of the Filipino energy consumers,” Mr. Cusi said.

The discussions were an offshoot of the 35th ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting hosted by the Philippines last week, on which Mr. Cusi said “the Philippines is attuned with the ASEAN’s vision of being the bright spot for energy investments and development in the global arena.”

The Philippines is finalizing policies on natural gas and may have agreements with development partners, including China, Japan, and Singapore after the publication of the policy on Oct. 30 “to fully embark on viable LNG cooperation projects,” he said.

Other areas of cooperation are on renewable energies with possible joint ventures with Singapore on waste-to-energy, floating solar photovoltaic and battery technologies; with the International Renewable Energy Agency on scaling up geothermal energy and renewable energy mini-grids for rural electrification; and with US-ASEAN Business Council greening the grid and renewable energy zoning.

The DoE said the bilateral talks also covered initiatives on fuel marking to avoid counterfeiting of petroleum products, benchmarking of commodities for price transparency, smart grids using advanced digital information communication technology, electric vehicles for lower carbon emissions, the Visayas-Mindanao interconnection project, nuclear energy utilization and the building of power generation facilities, particularly in island provinces.

Mr. Cusi said his office had requested Japan through its Manila embassy for a non-project grant to assist the rebuilding of Marawi’s damaged electrical infrastructures and facilities. The Philippines’ armed forces continue to fight it out with a terror group to regain control of the southern city.

He also said he had informed the Chinese delegation on the latest update regarding Service Contract (SC) 57, covering the area offshore Calamian northwest of Palawan.

SC 57 was awarded in 2007 to PNOC Exploration Corp. with pending farm-in agreement with Mitra Energy Ltd., and state-run China National Offshore Oil Co. as endorsed to President Rodrigo R. Duterte for clearance.

New Los Ultimos de Filipinas version a highlight at Spanish film festival

CONSIDERED THE biggest Spanish film festival in Asia, the Pelicula-Pelikula Spanish Film Festival returns for its 15th year from Oct. 5 to 15 at the Greenbelt 3 cinemas in Makati City.

This year’s catalog contains more than 20 Spanish and Latin American films from various genres – from romance, comedy and drama to documentaries, thrillers, and animation.

Included in this year’s lineup is 1898, Los ultimos de Filipinas, a 2016 film by Salvador Calvo which tells the story the Baler siege, where a group of Spanish soldiers resisted for 337 days without knowing that the war was over. Mr. Calvo will hold a Q&A after the screening on Oct. 6 at 9:30 p.m.

One the same day (Oct. 6) Spanish director Sally Gutiérrez will present her 2017 documentary Ta acorda ba Tu el Filipinas?

The Manila screening will be the world premiere of Ms. Gutierrez’s work.

AN ACTRESS, A WRITER
Also included in this year’s lineup is La noche en que mi madre mató a mi madre (2016) by Ines Paris which tells of an actress, desperate to return to the limelight, who invites a famous Argentine actor to star in a film helmed by her husband and his ex-wife but things don’t go as planned.

El ciudadano ilustre (2016), a film from Argentina by Gaston Duprat and Mariano Cohn, is about an Argentinian writer who won the Nobel Prize for Literature who returns to his hometown after accepting an invitation from the local government – but the welcome is not as warm as he expects.

Other films from Argentina include Koblic (2016) by Sebastian Borensztein about a Navy captain on the run from the constant threat of dictatorship, and El auge del humano (2016) by Eduardo Williams, a documentary about three men from Argentina, Mozambique, and the Philippines working boring jobs who starts to see their lives from a different point of view.

Oil, LPG prices up

AFTER STAYING unchanged for a fortnight, gasoline prices will increase this week by P0.25 per liter (/L) to reflect the movement of prices in the international market, oil companies said. The price of diesel and kerosene will also increase — both by P0.55/L. Most retailers have set the price rise at 6:00 a.m. today, Oct. 3. Earlier, oil companies that sell liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) advised that effective Oct. 1, the price of the product will increase by P4.90 per kilogram (/kg), or a net increase of P10.58/kg since January this year. The LPG price increase for October translates to a P53.90 increase for each 11-kg cylinder. The Department of Energy said that based on its price monitoring of household LPG in Metro Manila, prices range from P523.90-P773.90 per cylinder. — Victor V. Saulon

Barangay Ginebra diffuses TNT in Game One of semis series

By Michael Angelo S. Murillo
Reporter

DEFENDING Philippine Basketball Association Governors’ Cup champions Barangay Ginebra San Miguel Kings claimed Game One of their best-of-five semifinal series with the TNT KaTropa last night, winning, 121-94, to set their bid to a good start.

Found themselves clicking on both ends of the court for much of the contest, the Kings proved to be difficult to handle for the KaTropa in the series opener as they surged to the victory.

Both teams fought it tight to start the opening quarter, winding up tied at 19-all with three minutes on the clock.

The Kings though would outscore the KaTropa, 12-3, the rest of the way to pick up a 31-22 lead at the end of the period.

Barangay Ginebra continued to keep TNT at bay in the second canto.

It extended its lead to 13 points, 45-32, in the first four minutes before the KaTropa cut their deficit to just eight points, 56-48, with under one minute left.

Baskets from Sol Mercado and LA Tenorio after, however, gave the Kings more breathing space, 60-48, at the halftime break.

The Kings had another quick jump in the third quarter, going on a 13-5 run a third into the frame to take a 20-point cushion, 73-53.

TNT tried to claw back but got little headway as it still found itself trailing big, 95-75, three-fourths into the contest.

With the game under their control, the Kings just grew more confident, opening the payoff quarter with 9-0 run to establish a lead of 29 points, 104-75, with 7:50 on the clock.

The Kings extended their lead some more in the next three minutes, 113-79, and then sailed away for the closeout.

Justine Brownlee, who did not play in the fourth period, led Barangay Ginebra with 21 points on top of eight rebounds and five assists.

Joe Devance had 19 points while Greg Slaughter finished with 16 points, seven rebounds and five assists.

Mark Caguioa had 13 points with LA Tenorio, Japeth Aguilar and Jervy Cruz each having 10.

TNT, meanwhile, was led by Glen Rice, Jr. with 26 points and 10 rebounds.

Jayson Castro had 16 points and seven assists while Roger Pogoy had 12 markers.

“We are just happy to get the win. We had good offense and good defense and that did it for us,” said Mr. Devance, named player of the game, in the postgame interview.

“I know though that they will make the adjustments in the next game and we just have to play our best,” he added.

Game Two of the TNT-Barangay Ginebra semifinal series will be tomorrow at the Batangas City Coliseum.

Cartoon Network at 25: sketching out a cutting-edge future

LOS ANGELES – Sunday marked a quarter century since the Cartoon Network (CN) burst upon the pastel-colored landscape of American television animation, redefining the way kids’ entertainment was beamed into homes.

Launched when ratings for morning cartoons were dropping and The Simpsons was starting to dominate prime time, many thought Turner Broadcasting Systems’s $320-million purchase of the Hanna-Barbera library was lunacy.

But Ted Turner, whose company already owned extensive back catalogues from MGM and Warner Bros., believed there was a gap in the market for a round-the-clock, seven-day channel showing cartoons that young and old could enjoy.

His vision has been spectacularly vindicated, with CN growing from a modest start-up to one of cable TV’s most popular programmers, seen in around 100 million American homes and in more than 170 other countries.

“The thing that separates us is that we have artists driving the process here for everything,” chief content officer Rob Sorcher told AFP and other media outlets on a recent tour of its headquarters in Burbank, California.

“That is a fundamental difference from most other studios, because the artists are telling the stories through drawings. There aren’t scripts getting done in most cases, and then animators animating them.”

In its infancy, the network showed reruns of The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Scooby Doo Where Are You!, Tom and Jerry, Popeye and many other classics.

It went into original programming with The Moxy Show in December 1993, following up with Space Ghost Coast to Coast and, from 1997, Johnny Bravo, which raised eyebrows with its adult humor but became iconic.

More recently the network has churned out numerous hits including Steven Universe, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Powerpuff Girls, Regular Show, and Adventure Time.

DEVOURING INFORMATION
Ben 10, its longest-running franchise about a boy that can turn into aliens, has enjoyed widespread critical acclaim, winning three Emmys, with the associated merchandising estimated to have been worth almost $5 billion.

Writer Steven T. Seagle, whose Man of Action Entertainment studio produces the show, said one of the challenges has been to crank up the pace for viewers who are getting increasingly quicker at devouring information in the smartphone age.

“When I was a kid, if I found out about something I liked, I’d have to go to a library which might take a day to get to. I’d have to find some book somewhere and read it,” he said.

“Now if anything piques their fancy, they usually have a device, they find out about it immediately and they exhaust it. They’re through it completely by the end of the day and on to something else.”

Marking CN out from other animation studios, the network has a “shorts unit” in which artists aren’t expected to pitch their ideas, instead just making their seven-minute films and then showing the executives the result.

It is a process that has spawned nine full series – including big hits like We Bare Bears – and accounts for 80% of the company’s development of new projects.

We Bare Bears – about the adventures of three ursine brothers – is made by Annie Award-winning creator Daniel Chong, 38, whose credits include Pixar’s Inside Out and Cars 2, and Disney’s Bolt.

CREATIVE CONTROL
“It’s great to be part of the Pixar machine – but it is a machine. You’re taking a script and boarding it at the behest of the director,” he said.

“I’m now in control of the product, every decision goes through me. We don’t have the budget of Pixar or the time, but I get to tell the stories that interest me.”

With many entertainment networks losing prime time viewership, CN has been making gains, finishing number one among ad-supported cable networks in its core kids 6-11 demo for the first time in 2015.

As well as competition from traditional rivals like Nickelodeon, CN is under increasing pressure from Netflix’s burgeoning slate of children’s programming, not to mention Google’s YouTube Kids and many other video apps.

Keen to stay ahead, CN delivered triple-digit growth in 2015 for its app and, earlier this year, launched TV/mobile app hybrid OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes – about a young wannabe who lives in a world populated by superheroes.

While it may be a brave new world in terms of technology, some things never change, says OK K.O.! creator Ian Jones-Quartey, whose team spends about nine months making each 11-minute episode.

“Our method of working on the cartoons is we sit in a room, we look at pictures and drawings and we pitch them to each other, and we work on the jokes individually,” the 33-year-old said.

“That’s the same exact way Warner Bros. cartoons were made back in the day. That’s how all the Disney movies were made, like Pinocchio, Snow White – all those cartoons.” – AFP

Meralco Bolts eye 2-0 series lead over Star

By Michael Angelo S. Murillo
Reporter

FASHIONED out a gutsy come-from-behind victory in their Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Governors’ Cup best-of-five semifinal series opener on Sunday, the Meralco Bolts shoot for a commanding 2-0 lead over the Star Hotshots when they reengage for Game Two today in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

To be played at the Sta. Rosa Multipurpose Complex at 7 p.m., the Bolts, top seeds entering the playoffs of the season-ending PBA tournament, are out to build on their 72-66 victory in Game Two where they pulled the rug from under the Hotshots after playing catch-up for much of the way.

Import Allen Durham and Jared Dillinger came up big for Meralco down the stretch to stun Star, which was seemingly heading to claiming the first game until the Bolts decided to spoil things.

Down by six points, 66-60, with a little over three minutes to go in the contest, the Bolts thereafter made a run that proved too hard to stop for the Hotshots.

Back-to-back triples by Ranidel de Ocampo and Mr. Dillinger leveled the count at 66-all inside the last two minutes.

Mr. Dillinger then put Meralco on top, 68-66, with a drive to the basket at the 1:02 mark of the ball game.

Mr. Durham then starred in the succeeding plays, first forcing Star’s Paul Lee into a turnover before connecting on a fadeaway jumper moments later to pad their lead to four, 70-66, with 33 ticks to go.

Jio Jalalon tried to narrow the gap for the Hotshots but his attempt in the middle of the paint was foiled by the Meralco defense.

Two free throws from Garvo Lanete seconds later sealed the comeback win for the Bolts.

Mr. Durham once again posted big numbers for his team, finishing with 23 points and 23 rebounds while Mr. Dillinger came off the bench to chip in 15 points and five assists.

Guard Baser Amer had 10 points and four dimes.

Star, meanwhile, was led by Mr. Jalalon with 15 points to go along with six assists, followed by Mr. Lee and Mark Barroca with 11 points apiece.

Hotshots import Kris Acox, limited by foul trouble, had seven points, 16 rebounds and two blocks.

“It took us a while to get our game going but we just fought back. This is our first game in a span of a week and some of our guys were banged up. But we continued to play. In the playoffs it’s about making the big shots. And luckily we hit ours down the stretch,” said player of the game Dillinger, whose team shot 35% from the floor throughout the match and was held to just seven points for the entire first period.

“But this is just one game and we have to be ready for Star once again,” he cautioned.

The winner of this series faces the victor of the other semifinal bracket between the TNT KaTropa and defending champions Barangay Ginebra San Miguel Kings, which began their own series last night.

Meralco is looking to redeem itself after losing in the Governors’ Cup finals last year while Star is angling to return to the finals after an eight-conference absence.

Sex and the City 3 is over, but actress Kim Cattrall says she’s not to blame

LOS ANGELES – Sex and the City will not be back for a third movie, despite years of on-again, off-again plans, but actress Kim Cattrall says she is not the one to blame.

“It’s over. We’re not doing it,” Sarah Jessica Parker, who played Carrie Bradshaw in the 1990s TV series and two subsequent feature films, told celebrity TV outlet Extra on Thursday.

“I’m disappointed. We had this beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, joyful, very relatable script and story. It’s not just disappointing that we don’t get to tell the story and have that experience, but more so for that audience that has been so vocal in wanting another movie,” she added

The prospects of a final reunion between the TV show’s four original stars Parker, Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis, have been discussed for years, despite the lukewarm critical reception to the 2010 movie sequel Sex and the City 2, which was set in Abu Dhabi.

Parker gave no details about why the plans had been shelved but Cattrall on Friday shrugged off media reports that she was responsible, while making clear she was not in favor of it.

“The only ‘DEMAND’ I ever made was that I didn’t want to do a 3rd film…. & that was back in 2016,” Cattrall said on Twitter.

HBO’s Sex and the City comedy series ran from 1998-2004, won multiple Emmy awards and was credited with capturing an empowering era for young women, and for its frank sex scenes.

Each of the actresses, now in their 50s or 60s, have blown hot and cold since 2010 about whether its time to say goodbye to their gossipy, fashion-loving New York characters.

Warner Bros., the Hollywood studio behind the first two movies, had no comment on Friday. – Reuters

No signs of property bubble in latest data — BSP

By Melissa Luz T. Lopez,
Senior Reporter

HOUSING PRICES in the Philippines remain volatile, a senior central bank official said, although latest signals allay fears of an asset bubble after property costs actually slipped during the second quarter.

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Deputy Governor Diwa C. Guinigundo said the real estate sector is far from seeing a credit crunch, with the central bank having observed that prices dropped from a year earlier.

Housing prices dropped by 4.6% between April-June, according to the results of the BSP’s residential real estate price index (RREPI) released over the weekend. This marks the first time in two years that property costs declined, and compares to a 1.2% increase recorded between January-March and the 11.6% surge in prices posted during the same year-earlier period.

RREPI measures the average change in housing costs across building types and locations, which allows the central bank to monitor overall real estate and market conditions.

“House prices could really be very volatile as seen in the last few quarters run of RREPI. Property bubbles shall have been formed if property prices have gone up multiple times as in Singapore and Hong Kong lately until they started implementing various forms of macroprudential measures,” Mr. Guinigundo said in a text message, as he noted that current signals do not point to an unsustainable price trend.

An asset bubble forms due to perceived rising demand for housing units, driving developers to build more, and is said to “burst” as demand stagnates, which will lead to an abrupt drop in property prices that could potentially jolt the banking system.

“Property prices are considered serious if their escalation is one, generalized across different property groups and two, a singular uptrend. These two quick metrics do not emit warning signals. But having clarified these issues, close monitoring is always being done by the BSP,” the central bank official added.

It was cheaper to buy homes in the provinces during the three months to June as prices posted an 8.2% decline from a year earlier. Meanwhile, those who acquired houses within Metro Manila paid for the properties at rates which are 2.5% higher from the prior year.

Single-detached home prices dropped 9.9% nationwide, and are the dwellings of choice for Filipinos living in the provinces.

Condominiums, which are the preferred property among those in Metro Manila, saw prices rise by 5.1%.

Philippine banks handed out P1.644 trillion in property loans as of end-June, according to BSP data. Of the amount, roughly a third at P561.311 billion were extended for home acquisitions, 16.6% higher than the P481.315 billion in approved housing loans in June 2016.

In September, the central bank announced tighter reporting requirements, telling banks to submit more detailed data on property loans and project finance. Fitch Ratings said the new rules would give the regulator a more comprehensive view of the property sector in order to quell potential bubbles.

Comelec checkpoints and gun ban in effect

THE COMMISSION on Elections (Comelec) gun ban in line with the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections, which is still scheduled on Oct. 23 pending an official declaration of postponement from Congress and signed by the President, is now being implemented by the police nationwide. It is in effect from Oct. 1 to 30.
