Cebu Pacific increasing international flights

First A330neo delivery to Cebu Pacific

BUDGET carrier Cebu Pacific said it recently resumed thrice weekly flights to Bangkok, as well as weekly flights to Fukuoka and Jakarta.

This in response to the Philippine government’s decision to make it easier for travelers to come to the country amid a global health crisis, the airline said in a statement e-mailed to reporters on Tuesday.

“Fully vaccinated passengers from visa-free countries can [now] visit the [Philippines] for business or leisure purposes, and are no longer required to observe mandatory facility-based quarantine upon arrival, as long as they present a negative RT-PCR (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) test result taken 48 hours prior arrival,” the budget carrier noted.

The airline also intends to resume flights to other international routes from Manila in March, including Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) on March 1 and Taipei on March 2.

At the same time, it plans to resume its daily Dubai-Manila flights starting March 1 after the United Arab Emirates lifted capacity restrictions.

“We continue to bank on the rebound of domestic tourism this year while remaining agile in addressing demand for international travel as well,” Cebu Pacific Chief Commercial Officer Xander Lao said.

“We are encouraged that with these positive indicators, more OFWs (overseas Filipino workers) can also fly back home easily and safely to their families,” he added.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has said the Philippine government’s move to open its borders to fully vaccinated foreign travelers will help facilitate the recovery of the aviation industry and the tourism sector.

But it also noted that more measures are needed to boost passenger confidence in air travel.

“We urge the Philippine government to take the following additional actions: make permanent the standardization of measures and exemption of quarantine, improving from the current temporary suspension; accept antigen tests for pre-departure testing; recognize digital vaccination certificates and testing certificates that are presented on digital platforms, such as the IATA Travel Pass,” Philip Goh, IATA’s regional vice-president for Asia-Pacific, said in  a statement. — Arjay L.

Aces leaving PBA after 35 years

The most dominant team in the 1990s winning 9 titles

By Olmin Leyba

AS the Alaska Aces make their last hurrah in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), officials, players and aficionados go past the initial shock to celebrate the legacy one of the greatest ballclubs is leaving.

For the last 35 years, the Alaska franchise has been an integral part of Asia’s first play-for-pay league and accomplished one of only five grand slam feats in history. The Aces were the most dominant team in the 1990s, winning nine of their 14 overall titles during that period, which was highlighted by the 1996 treble under coach Tim Cone.

“Great memories! Honored to be part of this family/team’s history,” said Poch Juinio, who won Most Improved Player accolade on the year he and fancied teammates led by Jojo Lastimosa, Johnny Abarrientos and Bong Hawkins swept the competition 26 years ago.

Kenneth Duremdes, who came on board during the 1997 Governors Cup, agreed with the general consensus that Alaska was “the greatest team of the 1990s.”

“Yes, it is,” said the 1997 MVP who won four of his six PBA rings with the Milkmen. “All I can say is we take pride in every game — refusing to lose and preparing hard everyday.’”

More than the trophies,  Alaska gets plaudits for its integrity.

“Much respect to Alaska. A class organization. The Aces will be a big loss to the PBA,” former Commissioner Noli Eala said of the franchise that he described as “one of the independent teams” in the league.

“I feel genuine sadness with the departure of Alaska, “said Rain or Shine co-team owner Raymond Yu. “Nothing but respect for a classy organization. Indeed, they won with integrity.”

Top honcho Fred Uytengsu, with a heavy heart, himself announced the “retirement” of the Alaska team from the PBA on Wednesday.

“We thought long and hard before making this final decision. However, we believe that this will allow us to focus on providing affordable nutrition for Filipino families. The decision is also aligned with the global directive of AMC’s parent company, FriesIslandCampina, to implement an organizational transformation that ensures long-term sustainability,” he said.

Mr. Uytengsu said the organization took pride in doing the right thing throughout its PBA journey.

“We always wanted to win with integrity. We tried to treat our players friendly. We tried to respect our opponents. Hopefully, history will judge that we did it the right way at Alaska,” he said.

Meantime, the Aces have made it their mission to go out with a bang and capture their 15th crown in their Governors’ Cup swan song.

“This will be our last conference as Alaska Aces, (we) will definitely make it count!” said forward Jeron Teng.

The PBA is set to convene in a special board meeting soon to discuss the next step following Alaska’s departure.

“It’s a sad day for Philippine basketball, especially the PBA,” said commissioner Willie Marcial.

BTS to hit the stage in South Korea for first time since COVID began

SEOUL — South Korean boy band BTS are to put on their first shows for their home fans since the coronavirus pandemic began, with three concerts in the capital, Seoul, next month, their agency said on Wednesday.

The concerts, part of their Permission to Dance on Stage tour that has been disrupted by the pandemic, will be at Seoul’s Olympic Stadium on March 10, 12 and 13, and will also be live streamed, Bit Hit Music said.

“We would like to thank all ARMY for patiently waiting for an in-person concert to be held in Korea,” the company said on its online fan platform, Weverse, referring to the band’s global fan base known as Adorable Representative MC for Youth.

Since their 2013 debut, the band have spearheaded a global K-Pop craze with catchy, upbeat music and dances, as well as lyrics and social campaigns aimed at empowering youngsters.

The seven-member band made history in November, becoming the first Asian artists to win the top prize at the American Music Awards.

Their last concert for South Korean fans was in Oct. 2019, a couple of months before the coronavirus emerged.

As the pandemic spread in 2020, the band postponed and then called off what was meant to be their biggest international tour involving nearly 40 concerts. They held some online shows instead.

They played their first in-person concerts since the onset of the pandemic in November, in Los Angles, and some die-hard South Korean fans flew in for the shows.

The pandemic has also affected some members of the band, though all are fully vaccinated.

V, the singer and songwriter whose real name is Kim Tae-hyung, was on Tuesday confirmed as the band’s fifth member to contract coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Bit Hit said. V had no symptoms apart from a mild fever and sore throat, and all other members had tested negative.

“He is currently undergoing treatment at home,” the company said in a separate statement, promising a speedy recovery.

Rapper RM, vocalist Jin, and rapper Suga tested positive in December shortly after their return from the US shows, and singer Jimin contracted the virus last month. — Reuters

Term deposit yields mixed as gov’t retail bond offer starts

BW FILE PHOTO

YIELDS on the central bank’s term deposit facility (TDF) ended mixed on Wednesday following the start of the government’s retail Treasury bond (RTB) offering and concerns over tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

Demand for the central bank’s term deposits reached P637.875 billion on Wednesday, surpassing the P570 billion auctioned off by the central bank but lower than the P666.222 billion in bids last week.

Broken down, the seven-day deposits fetched bids amounting to P302.236 billion, above the P190-billion offering and the P266 billion worth of tenders seen the previous week.

Lenders asked for yields ranging from 1.65% to 1.7125%, slimmer than the 1.6175% to 1.75% band last week. This caused the average rate of the one-week papers to drop by 2.13 basis points (bps) to 1.6858% from 1.7071% previously.

Meanwhile, tenders for the 14-day papers amounted to P335.639 billion, below the P380-billion offer and the P399.432 billion in bids a week ago.

Accepted rates for the tenor were from 1.65% to 2.2%, wider than the 1.625% to 1.7% margin seen in the previous week’s auction. With this, the average rate of the two-week deposits increased by 2.57 bps to 1.7044% from 1.6787%

The BSP has not offered 28-day term deposits for more than a year to give way to its weekly auctions of securities with the same tenor.

The term deposit facility and the one-month bills are used by the BSP to gather excess liquidity in the financial system and to better guide market rates.

TDF yields ended mixed on Wednesday as the offer came a day after the price-setting auction for the five-year RTBs being offered by the National Government, Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. Chief Economist Michael L. Ricafort said.

The Treasury raised an initial P120.764 billion on Tuesday through the five-year RTBs that fetched a coupon rate of 4.875%. This is already more than six times the P30 billion initially targeted by the government.

Proceeds from the transaction will fund pandemic recovery efforts. The bonds will be sold until Feb. 28, while its settlement will be on March 4.

RTBs target small investors who want low-risk, higher-yielding savings instruments backed by the government.

Mr. Ricafort said the market was also cautious due to geopolitical concerns caused by the rift between Russia and Ukraine.

Kyiv appeared to blame Russia for a cyberattack on Tuesday as US President Joseph R. Biden warned that more than 150,000 Russian troops were still amassed near Ukraine’s borders after Moscow’s announcement of a partial pullback was met with skepticism, Reuters reported.

World powers are engaged in one of the deepest crises in East-West relations for decades, jostling over post-Cold War influence and energy supplies as Moscow wants to stop the former Soviet neighbor ever joining the NATO military alliance.

Western nations have suggested arms control and confidence-building steps to defuse the standoff, which has prompted them to urge their citizens to leave Ukraine because an attack could come at any time. Russia denies it has any plans to invade.

Hours after Moscow’s announcement, Ukraine said the online networks of its defense ministry and two banks were overwhelmed in what is called a distributed denial-of-service. The maneuver works when hackers flood a network with unusually high volumes of data traffic to paralyze it.

Although Kyiv did not name who was behind the incident, a statement suggested it was pointing the finger at Russia. — Luz Wendy T. Noble with Reuters

Jollibee to launch Edinburgh, Glasgow stores

Jollibee will soon be opening its first restaurant in Scotland on 24th of February.

JOLLIBEE Foods Corp. (JFC) is set to open two stores in Scotland, with stores located in areas with a “large student presence and [an] active youth community.”

“This is an important moment for us as we introduce Jollibee to Scotland with not only one but two restaurants launching within a month, showing our commitment to expand in Europe,” JFC President and Chief Executive Offer Ernesto Tanmantiong said in a statement on Wednesday.

In April last year, the company said it wanted to have 50 stores across Europe in the next five years. The company said it had allotted €50 million for its expansion in the continent.

The listed fastfood giant said it is opening a store at 136 Princes Street in Edinburgh on Feb. 24, Thursday. Meanwhile, the second store will be located in Glasgow and will open on March 25, Friday.

JFC said both its Edinburgh and Glasgow stores will serve halal meat “to cater to all communities in both cities.”

“We are optimistic that opening now in Scotland is an opportune time for Jollibee and will bring customers something different and exciting. Most people have not been able to try new things in the last few years, so bringing the fun, joyful, and colorful Jollibee restaurant to customers will be a great start to 2022,” said Adam Parkinson, JFC’s business head for Europe.

Jollibee has over 1,500 stores in 17 countries. The brand has several stores in the United Kingdom, which are located in London, Cardiff, Newcastle, Nottingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Reading, and Leicester Square.

The company said sales from its UK stores rose 417% in the last 18 months.

JFC shares at the stock market closed higher by 0.88% or P2.20 to finish at P251 apiece. — Keren Concepcion G. Valmonte

HK police arrest singer for alleged sedition — media

TOMMY YUEN INSTAGRAM

HONG KONG — Hong Kong (HK) police said on Tuesday they had arrested a 41-year-old man for suspected sedition and money laundering, whom local media identified as singer Tommy Yuen.

The Hong Kong police’s national security department confirmed that a 41-year-old had been arrested for public comments and online posts that authorities deemed carried “seditious intent.”

“He hoped to incite hatred towards the Hong Kong government … and to stoke discontent among the Hong Kong public,” senior superintendent Steve Li told reporters. He declined to confirm whether the arrested man was Mr. Yuen.

Yuen couldn’t be immediately reached for comment.

Last November, Mr. Li said the man had performed a song broadcast live online with the words “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Time,” a popular protest slogan during the city’s protracted 2019 pro-democracy protests. Mr. Li said this slogan had already been found by a Hong Kong court to be capable of inciting people to commit secession in the city’s first national security case last year involving a former waiter, Tong Ying-kit, who was jailed for nine years.

Another man was also arrested by police, Mr. Li added, in connection with the case, that also involved suspected money laundering.

Mr. Yuen is well known in Hong Kong for his advocacy of democratic causes including during live concerts and protest marches. His Facebook page carries the words “We Die for Fight.”

China imposed a national security law on Hong Kong in June 2020 punishing acts of subversion, terrorism, collusion with foreign forces, and secession with possible life imprisonment. Critics, including Western governments, say the law has been used to silence dissent, with scores of pro-democracy campaigners arrested, civil society groups disbanded and free speech curtailed. Hong Kong and Chinese authorities say the law has brought stability to the city after mass anti-government protests.

Another Hong Kong pop star, Denise Ho, was detained by police in December for a separate national security case, but released on police bail pending further investigations. — Reuters

Fil-Am alpine skier Miller crashes out anew in slalom

ASA MILLER — REUTERS

FIL-AM alpine skier Asa Miller’s hopes of coming through with a better finish ended up in disappointment after he wound up with another DNF (did not finish) in men’s slalom on Wednesday that concluded his Beijing Winter Olympics campaign at the Ice River track in Yanqing, China.

The 21-year-old Mr. Miller had another disastrous performance that came three days after he had a DNF in giant slalom on Sunday when he stumbled right at the starting block amid the harsh track conditions, heavy snowfall and nearly zero visibility.

While conditions were better on Wednesday, Mr. Miller just couldn’t avoid suffering the same fate.

Unlike in giant slalom, the Oregon native had lasted longer on this one as he checked in at the first intermediate run in 12.93 seconds while clocking 36.51 seconds in the second run.

Then disaster struck in the third as he came stumbling down to crash out of the race that capped what had been a gloomy campaign for Mr. Miller, whose trip was bankrolled by the Philippine Sports Commission.

It was truly heartbreaking for Mr. Miller, who was hoping to improve on his 70th-place effort in the 2018 Pyeongchang Games.

“I have a fault also,” said a teary-eyed Mr. Miller.

Mr. Miller, who was flagged off at 65 of the 86 participants, was not alone though as 33 others also had a DNF.

Will Gregorak, Mr. Millers’ coach, blamed the uneven snow.

“With this type of snow, the skis were not responding very well for him so it’s very difficult to get his feeling on the skis and that’s how it goes sometimes,” said Mr. Gregorak. “You hoped that it wouldn’t happen in the Olympics, but that’s ski racing and that’s the nature of the sport, and that’s slalom racing.”

Mr. Gregorak said he still proud of Miller despite the mishaps.

“I’m really proud of Asa (Miller) for the composure he showed this week. The difficult hills, the difficult conditions and all the work and focus he put on it — that’s all about being an athlete,” said Mr. Gregorak. “You cannot guarantee the result, but Asa (Miller) proved to be a formidable Olympian.” — Joey Villar

Insurance awareness in PHL increased due to pandemic, Manulife says

AWARENESS of insurance in the Philippines has been growing during the pandemic as more individuals recognize the significance of these products compared with other countries in the region, Manulife Philippines said.

“What we’ve seen over the past two years is that the awareness and the appreciation for the importance of insurance has actually increased quite a lot,” Manulife Philippines Senior Vice-President and Chief Marketing Officer Melissa Henson told ABS-CBN News Channel on Wednesday.

A Manulife survey conducted in November found 91% of Filipinos recognize the importance of insurance, higher than seven other markets surveyed in Asia.

However, the country’s overall insurance penetration rate or the industry’s contribution to gross domestic product is only at about 2.03% as of the third quarter of last year.

“(There’s) a lot of growing interest to purchase. In 2020, when we ran the survey, 77% told us they wanted to buy insurance or were planning to buy insurance in the next 12 months. This time, that number is up to 86%,” Ms. Henson said.

“The interest is there. What we need to balance is there still are serious concerns around their economic situation.”

More than half of surveyed Filipinos said their monthly income is not lower because of the pandemic, while 17% said they lost their jobs.

This means that savings are lower, as 79% of respondents said their savings would only last for up to a year.

“The perception is that the pandemic will go on for at least nine more months. So the restrictions and all of those things are weighing down heavily on the perceptions of financial wellness, and we need to balance that because there is a growing recognition of the need for insurance, which is great,” Ms. Henson said.

“What we’re working on at Manulife is trying to balance that and making sure we’re coming up with solutions that meet all of these evolving needs because the concerns have changed so rapidly in the past two years. So we want to make sure we’re offering new, relevant solutions that cater to evolving concerns but in a much more accessible and affordable manner.”

Manulife declined to release figures for its performance targets.

About 86% of Filipinos surveyed by Manulife said they plan to buy insurance products in the next 12 months, mostly in hospitalization, health, and life.

Most said they want simple insurance products, or those that can be bought online and are affordable.

Manulife surveyed 8,726 people in mainland China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam.

Insurance Commissioner Dennis B. Funa has said he expects the insurance penetration rate last year to have surpassed the record 1.71% seen at the end of 2020. — J.P. Ibañez

SM Supermalls sees full recovery by 2023

SM SUPERMALLS is projecting the full recovery of its shopping mall chain from the economic effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic by 2023, according to its president.

SM Supermalls President Steven T. Tan said 2022 will be focused on recovery, with the mall chain recording a double-digit increase for the first two months of the year.

“Should I say that we are already back at pre-pandemic level? I don’t think so. This (2022) will be the year of recovery. Little by little, but we are not far from where we were in 2019. We’re expecting this most probably to recover fully by 2023,” Mr. Tan said in a recent interview on One News.

SM Supermalls is owned by listed property firm SM Prime Holdings, Inc.

Further, Mr. Tan said the mall chain’s occupancy rate has not declined amid the mobility restrictions and operating capacity guidelines set by the government due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Our occupancy rate has not really dropped. We have maintained a healthy (rate), around 85% to 90% occupancy all throughout the pandemic. As a matter of fact, there are still a lot of new tenants that are opening even during the pandemic,” Mr. Tan said.

Mr. Tan also disclosed that retailers are “very bullish” with the country’s economy despite the pandemic.

“When the pandemic hit in 2020, definitely it really hit us. It hit everyone. We were down by nearly 50% of our revenue. We were definitely affected. However, what we saw was there was a constant increase year on year. [In] 2021, [we] definitely did much better, double-digit growth from 2020,” Mr. Tan said.

Malacañang previously announced that the National Capital Region (NCR) remains under Alert Level 2 until Feb. 28. Alert Level 2 has been implemented in NCR since the beginning of February.

Under the said alert level, establishments are permitted to have 50% indoor capacity and 70% outdoor capacity. — Revin Mikhael D. Ochave

P.J. O’Rourke, renowned political satirist and journalist, 74

P. J. O’Rourke — JAMES KEGLEY /GROVEATLANTIC.COM

P.J. O’Rourke, the American journalist, political satirist, and best-selling author who rose to fame as editor-in-chief of the now-defunct humor magazine National Lampoon, has died at the age of 74.

Grove Atlantic, a New York-based publisher of his books, confirmed that he passed away Tuesday morning after a battle with lung cancer.

“P.J. was one of the major voices of his generation. He was also a close friend and partner for more than 40 years,” said Grove Atlantic CEO and publisher Morgan Entrekin, adding that O’Rourke played a key role in helping the company stay independent.

“His insightful reporting, verbal acuity and gift at writing laugh-out-loud prose were unparalleled.”

Patrick Jake O’Rourke authored more than 20 books whose topics included politics, economics and cars. Two of them topped the New York Times Bestsellers list: Parliament of Whores, in which he used humor to explain the inner workings of Washington, D.C., and Give War a Chance, a book about international conflict and crisis.

His work also appeared in publications like Rolling Stone, The Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair, and The Daily Beast, among others.

After growing up in Toledo, Ohio and graduating from Miami University in Ohio, Mr. O’Rourke left the Midwest for the East Coast to attend Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. He launched his writing career at small newspapers in Baltimore and New York.

Mr. O’Rourke joined National Lampoon in the early 1970s and later assumed the roles of managing editor and editor in chief. Later in his career he was the H.L. Mencken Research Fellow at Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, and a panelist on the NPR’s weekly current events quiz show, Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me.

He is survived by his wife, Tina O’Rourke, and three children, according to his publisher. —  Reuters

No Ra Gun-A for South Korea; no Kai Sotto for Gilas

RA GUN-A (20) of South Korea and Kai Sotto of Gilas — FIBA

GILAS Pilipinas’ rival South Korea is in danger of missing the services of naturalized player Ra Gun-A due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) protocols a week before the first window of the 2023 FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers.

Mr. Gun-A, who plays for Jeonju KCC Egis in the KBL, yielded a positive COVID-19 result in a rapid antigen test on Wednesday and has quickly undergone a confirmatory RT-PCR test according to a report by Sports Chosun.

The result of Mr. Gun-A, also known as Ricardo Ratliffe, is expected to be out today as Korean Basketball League (KBL) faces a spike of COVID-19 cases in the association.

Also waiting for a confirmatory result is Kim Jong Kyu (Wonju DB Promy) while Kim Sun Hyung (Seoul SK Knights) and Lee Woo Seok (Ulsan Hyundai) are already under quarantine after their positive tests earlier this week.

South Korea, which released a 14-man pool for the WC qualifiers, is set to enter a brief bubble camp tomorrow before it departs for the Philippines next Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Kai Sotto’s former NBA G League Ignite teammate Princepal Singh has been included in the 22-man pool of India as New Zealand features two former UAAP players in its 21-man pool.

For Gilas that will have no Mr. Sotto in the meantime, coach Chot Reyes said the 21-man pool submitted to International Basketball Federation (FIBA) is already final.

“Yes, we can’t add anymore,” Mr. Reyes told The STAR in the pool led by a dozen TnT players plus young guns Thirdy Ravena, Dwight Ramos and naturalized player Ange Kouame.

Gilas, South Korea, India and New Zealand are all in Group A of the WC qualifiers locking horns this Feb. 24-28 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. — John Bryan Ulanday

BSP bullish on inclusion goal as basic deposit, e-money accounts rise

THE CENTRAL BANK chief said more Filipinos are now part of the formal financial system. — BW FILE PHOTO

THE CENTRAL BANK is bullish that its goal to have 70% of adult Filipinos be part of the financial system is achievable amid the growth in basic deposit and e-money account holders, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Benjamin E. Diokno said.

“We estimate that from 2020 to the third quarter of 2021, around 20 million unbanked adults have been onboarded to the financial system, based on the increase in the number of basic deposit accounts and active e-money accounts,” Mr. Diokno said at a briefing on Wednesday.

“So from 21 million banked adults in 2019, we estimate that about 41 million or 53% of adult Filipinos already have a transaction account as of the third quarter of 2021.”

“There is a strong likelihood that we’re going to meet our target to onboard 70% of adult Filipinos by 2023 [into the banked population], sooner rather than later,” he added.

Based on the 2019 Financial Inclusion Survey, only 29% of adult Filipinos are part of the banked population, leaving behind 51.2 million unbanked. Still, this improved from the 23% of Filipinos that were part of the banked population in 2017.

Mr. Diokno said the 2021 Financial Inclusion Survey will be released in May 2022.

He said 3.6 million new basic deposit accounts were recorded from the fourth quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2021. There were also seven million previously unbanked Filipinos that opened accounts with the Land Bank of the Philippines as the lender had co-located in registration areas for the National ID.

The basic deposit account was introduced in 2018 to encourage more Filipinos to become part of the financial system. It has a low opening amount capped at P100, no maintaining balance requirement, no dormancy charges and has a maximum balance limit of P50,000.

Meanwhile e-money accounts rose by 16.8 million from the end of 2019 to 2020, Mr. Diokno added.

Last month, the central bank unveiled its National Strategy for Financial Inclusion for 2022 to 2028. Mr. Diokno said this focuses on micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and agriculture financing.

The BSP will look at MSMEs’ access to formal credit and guarantee coverage for loans, said Ellen Joyce L. Suficiencia, director at the BSP’s Financial Inclusion Office.

Under the updated strategy, the central bank will monitor not just the number of Filipinos with a bank account but also how many individuals have at least P10,000 in their savings and are covered by insurance.

The BSP will also monitor financial literacy, the use of digital financial services by mobile phone owners and the turnaround time for complaint resolution, Mr. Diokno said. — L.W.T. Noble
