Ben&Ben to hold fundraising online concert

INDIE folk pop band Ben&Ben is holding an online performance on March 27, 7 p.m., on its Facebook page to raise funds to assist the frontliners of the COVID-10 pandemic in the Philippines.

“As artists, we believe that in a crisis like this we are called to do what we can to help — may it be by sending messages of hope, making efforts in raising funds for this crisis, or others,” the nine-piece band in a statement on Sunday.

The performance, called Puhon: A Ben&Ben FB Live Event for the COVID-19 Efforts, aims to raise as much as P5 million to buy Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for medical workers, COVID-19 testing kits, and relief goods for daily wage workers.

The event will also launch the band’s community-initiative website, puhon.ph, where people can donate.

Puhon is a Bisayan term for “hopefully” and “God-willing.”

“To aid us in championing these causes, we are in collaboration with TeaM Energy Foundation to receive and distribute the funds as well as YSEALI (Young South East Asian Leaders’ Initiative), Limitless Lab, Asian Institute of Management Team Energy Center for Bridging Leadership and multiple sponsors who, with open heartedness, are all willing to lend out during this difficult time,” the band said in their puhon.ph donation page.

The Facebook Live performance will last one hour and will see the band performing its hits such as “Maybe the Night,” “Ride Home,” “Leaves,” “Pagtingin,” and “Kathang Isip.”

The donation page has so far raised more than P1.45 million, P1.3 million of which came via offline donations.

The Ben&Ben Puhon concert is on March 27, 7 p.m. at https://www.facebook.com/BenandBenMusic. — ZBC

Condo complex to rise in Davao

DAVAO CITY — Two local business families here have teamed up for a four-building condominium complex, called Legacy Leisure Residences, that is targeted for young families as well as buyers who intend to rent out their units to tourists and long-term occupants.

Clark Lawton S. Yap, vice-president of project developer Crisron Holiday Builders, Inc., said they are setting up a separate company to manage the complex once completed and ensure standards are maintained by both residents and renters.

“We are still in the process of setting it up. It will be in-house and it will handle everything for the unit owners who want to make their units as investment like Airbnb,” Mr. Yap said in an interview during the project launch earlier this month, referring to the online marketplace for accommodations.

His partner and fellow company vice-president, Wesley C. Bangayan, added that they will provide specific terms and restrictions for leasing, which will be implemented by the planned Crisron Holiday Property Management firm.

“We will insert restrictions on short-term lease, mid-term lease, or long-term lease. For example, for one-bedroom unit which will be offered for short-term lease, we can only allow four occupants regardless of age,” he said.

Mr. Bangayan also said that the project will have a “resort feel” and “the amenities will be the main feature.”

Among the planned amenities in the 2.8-hectare complex are an Olympic-size swimming pool, multi-purpose function room, and courts for tennis and basketball.

The condominium will have no studio units, with each flat having one to three bedrooms.

“We are targeting start-up couples and families, and retirees. It can be a home away from home,” Mr. Bangayan said.

The project, located along Ma-a Road, will also have a commercial strip in front for retail, dining and other shops.

Mr. Yap said they have started constructing one of four 15-floor buildings with an initial budget of P1 billion, half of which will be sourced from internal investments and half from bank loans.

“We have initially discussed with some banks the credit line for the project,” he told BusinessWorld.

Crisron Holiday Builders Inc. is a joint venture between the Bangayan and Yap families, each with established businesses in real estate, tourism, retail, and transport. — Carmelito Q. Francisco and Maya M. Padillo

Highly recommended arcade anthology

Psikyo Shooting Stars Bravo
Nintendo Switch

NIPPON ICHI Software America has released Psikyo Shooting Stars Bravo, the second of two anthologies of classic shoot ‘em ups produced by Kyoto, Japan-based Psikyo, a videogame development company established in the early 1990s, and, not surprisingly, it winds up approximating the quality of its predecessor. As with Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha, the collection is made up of six shooters that preserve the look and feel of their arcade source material. And, as with Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha, it boasts of an overall gameplay experience that, with updated graphics and sounds, exceeds expectations.

Psikyo Shooting Stars Bravo makes a decent attempt at sense and sensibility. It isn’t merely a haphazard stab at compiling titles. Rather, it’s a well-thought-out collection, with three contributions each from the Samurai Aces and GUNBIRD series. That said, there is a glaring lack of homogeneity. There are five traditional shooters — three with vertical, and two with horizontal, orientations — and one brick breaker. Moreover, four can be enjoyed in TATE mode using the third-party Flip Grip, which allows for control precision with the Switch tablet rotated 90 degrees.

Samurai Aces was a hit when it first made its way to arcades in 1993. As the first title ever produced by Psikyo under the tutelage of company founder Shin Nakamura, it shows both its roots and its age. Homages to Japan are evident in both the story and the game design. Six characters from the feudal Sengoku era venture on a deadly and potentially fatal mission to rescue Princess Tsukihime, the Shogun’s kidnapped daughter, prior to her death as a prerequisite to the resurrection of the demon god. There is need for significant suspension of disbelief in negotiating the top-down shooter, but gamers’ investment of time will otherwise be rewarded despite its outdated audio-visual presentation.

Forget about originality. TENGAI’s story is practically the same as that of Samurai Aces. Princess Futsu, the Shogun’s daughter, is taken for the purpose of resurrecting the demon god, and it’s up to five playable characters to stop the shadowy cult behind the abduction. Thankfully, the sequel, which shifts to a horizontal orientation, boasts of superior gameplay in bringing the melding of feudal Japan and steam-highlighted technology. And though, as with its predecessor, it offers multiple endings and branching levels, it amps up difficulty considerably, the challenges mitigated only by unlimited replays.

Samurai Aces III: SENGOKU CANNON sticks out as the only title in the collection without arcade roots. Originally released on the PlayStation Portable in 2005, it suffers from programming quirks that undoubtedly stem from the limitations of the hardware for which it was made. The fact that X-Nauts took over development likewise didn’t help. In any case, the result leaves a lot to be desired; the attempt at modernizing the presentation by way of three-dimensional backgrounds is stunted — negated, even — by stunning slowdowns. The choice of any of four (with two more ready to be unlocked) characters becomes moot; none do well in the final analysis. The platform simply fails to translate the vision of a Steampunk-injected Sengoku period in a manner that does justice to the series.

GUNBIRD first hit Japanese arcades in 1994, and has, since then, been re-released on various consoles, with ample reason. As a vertical shooter, it features unique mechanics that incorporate randomized stages with outstanding level design — and aided by anime-inspired visuals and immersive soundtracks. It even makes use of humorous cutscenes, not uncommon with Psikyo titles, but, in this case, especially effective in offsetting unusual hitboxes which would have otherwise led to frustration.

GUNBIRD 2, released in 1998, is similar to its predecessor, but superior in all the aspects that matter. The level designs and audio-visual presentation are even better, but what makes it truly worth the time of gamers is its intrinsic fairness. Make no mistake: It’s very hard (make that very, very hard), and not simply because of the absence of a level-select option; dodging enemy fire is especially a chore, with input lags a given and the speed of projectiles rising on second pass of the seven levels on tap. That said, rage-quitting doesn’t become an option; the improved power-up meter and storage level the playing field and make beating it a function of familiarity and choice.

Lastly, Psikyo Shooting Stars Bravo includes GUNBARICH, a Breakout clone decked in shooter clothing. Its uniqueness is a come-on at the outset: Traditional shmup dodging and power-up mechanics combine with modified Arkanoid-like objectives. Instead of a paddle, flippers attached to the top of gamers’ ships are used to force back a ball and break a barricade of bricks within a fixed time frame. Two characters are on offer, with the choice of GUNBIRD series regular Marion or new addition Grutan presenting distinct handling options through 22 levels of bright, colorful backgrounds and catchy tunes. It becomes progressively harder to the point of chagrin, albeit offset by the benefit of increasing the number of lives to nine from the default three topped up with unlimited continues.

In sum, Psikyo Shooting Stars Bravo is a decided steal at $39.99, never mind the dearth of any extras to round out the experience. Lumping Samurai Aces III: SENGOKU CANNON with titles that can be purchased separately on the Nintendo eShop, it gives gamers a complementary compilation of shooters designed to provide hours upon hours of fun. Standing out as a superior companion piece to Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha, it’s a boon for fans of retro shooters in general, and followers of Psikyo’s arcade releases in particular. Highly recommended.

THE GOOD:

• Offers Samurai Aces III: SENGOKU CANNON for the first time

• Extremely challenging but addictive

• Uncomplicated controls

• Visually and aurally pleasing remasters

• TATE option a decided plus

THE BAD:

• No Extras at all

• Unavoidable input lags raise difficulty

RATING: 9/10

POSTSCRIPT: The onset of community quarantine for COVID-19 containment has made things difficult for gamers who prefer physical copies. With videogame stores closed and mobility hampered, they’re forced to turn to digital options. For instance, they wound up heading to the Nintendo eShop to purchase Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the first day of its availability over the weekend. Even as a good number of them already had standing preorders for the highly anticipated title, they were effectively compelled to double dip in light of the uncertainty of the immediate future and their inability to wait.

Judging from the increased engagement on gaming discussion groups, the latest addition to the hugely popular Animal Crossings franchise is a certified hit. And no wonder; it has been absent on Nintendo consoles for a while now. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer hit store shelves for the handheld 3DS platform, while Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival on the Wii U was a miss for more reasons than supporters care to remember. At the same time, the life-simulation elements make it a perfect match for the Switch; it’s a marvel to play both at home and on the go.

THE LAST WORD: The demo of Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories is now out on the Switch and the Sony PlayStation 4, and the initial feedback has been extremely positive. The title, set to hit store shelves late next month, has a young protagonist trying to deal with the effects of a massive earthquake in Tokyo, Japan. The immersive storyline puts gamers at the epicenter of the tragedy, aiming to survive in the midst of natural, environmental, and man-made threats.

Lopez companies start relief efforts

LOPEZ-LED companies have been extending their help in various relief operations to aid those affected by the Luzon-wide lockdown.

First Philippine Holdings Corp. (FPH) donated P100 million to the fund-raising campaign of sister company ABS-CBN Corp. to deliver food and other necessities to poor residents stuck at home amid the COVID-19 (new coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic.

In a statement on Monday, the Lopez’s holding firm of renewable energy, real estate, and construction estates said the initiative can be further expanded to other parts of the country.

“Personnel of FPH subsidiaries in the provinces are ready to coordinate with LGUs (local government units) in the provinces so the FPH subsidiaries can help poor families living both in host and nearby communities affected also by the virus,” its statement read.

ABS-CBN Corp. launched its “Pantawid ng Pag-ibig” campaign on Thursday night, assisting the COVID-19 relief efforts of LGUs around Metro Manila.

In an e-mail to BusinessWorld, FPH Vice-President and Head of Corporate Communications Ramon A. Carandang said some of their units were undertaking small initiatives to help distressed families affected by the lockdown.

For example, employees of Energy Development Corp. (EDC), a unit of FPH’s First Gen Corp., have launched donation drives across its project sites in the country to help frontline health workers and to assist local government units in its relief operations.

EDC Corporate Social Responsibility Head Allan V. Barcena told BusinessWorld in a separate text message that it has also provided food assistance to personnel in checkpoints around Kananga and Ormoc City in Leyte, Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental, and Kidapawan City in North Cotabato.

“We are likewise helping our employees cope with COVID-19,” Mr. Carandang also noted.

“For instance, our people are working from home as much as possible. We likewise released early last week [the] 14th month pay, while all contractual workers remain on the payroll despite the work stoppage caused by the enhanced community quarantine,” he added. — Adam J. Ang

Felcris group allots P1.2B for hotel, convention center

DAVAO City-based Felcris Hotels and Resorts Corp. is planning to build a hotel and convention center with an estimated budget of P1.2 billion.

Felcris President Clark Lawton S. Yap, in an interview on the sidelines of a recent launching event for a condominium project, said the hotel and convention center will be located at its 5.9-hectare Felcris Centrale complex along the city’s coast.

The complex currently has a shopping mall and office building that caters mainly to business process outsourcing firms.

Mr. Yap said they are now “on the design stage” of the project and targeting to have it completed by April 2022.

The plan, he said, is a 16-floor building with 280 guest rooms.

Felcris Hotels and Resorts, which operates a hotel in La Union, will be managing the facility.

“We did talk to (international hotel management companies), however, they are demanding a large amount (as management fees),” he said.

The company is part of the Felcris group, whose ventures include supermarkets, department stores, and convenience stores, and is the franchisee of Figaro Coffee Co. — Carmelito Q. Francisco

Ex-SMC Global chief succumbs to COVID-19

FORMER SMC Global Power Holdings Corp. President and Chief Operating Officer Alan T. Ortiz died in Paris, France on Monday morning due to COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019).

“He died in Paris, where he was invited by the French government for a security conference, and contact tracing has already been done. His last known contacts in the Philippines are in good health,” his family said in a Facebook post.

Mr. Ortiz was said to have visited Manila last March 3.

The president of the non-profit think-tank Philippine Council for Foreign Relations used to lead the National Transmission Corp. as president.

Previously, he was board adviser to the Philippine National Oil Company. He had also served as a board member of the Manila Electric Co.

Netflix goes heavy on Korean content, with crime, sci-fi, romance, and drama

This year, streaming service Netflix announced that it is going hard on Korean content as the popularity of such content is going global on the back of titles such as Kingdom, according to a Netflix executive. Now, the company has revealed its slate of Korean shows with genres spanning crime and sci-fi, alongside romance and drama.

“When it comes to Korean content, Asia is still our biggest market, and our Asian audience really loves watching Korean content, but what Kingdom has shown actually is that depending on the show, there’s a possibility to actually expand the audience base beyond Asia and beyond romance,” Minyoung Kim, vice-president for Korean content in Netflix, told reporters during a March 20 video conference.

Kingdom started airing in 2019 and is a political supernatural period drama about a deceased king coming back to life as a plague spreads which turns people into zombies.

Now in its second season, Ms. Kim said the show is “the best example to explain how we’re contributing into expanding that audience base,” as the show became a hit in Asia and “traveled really well outside of Asia.”

In January, Netflix announced that it had inked deals with South Korean entertainment companies CJ ENM’s Studio Dragon and JTBC to beef up its Korean slate.

“Our goal has been to build Netflix as a home for best in class Korean content, whether by licensing or originals. And we have a strong belief in the Korean creative community… we’re becoming more and more confident that Korean [content] is very important in helping us grow in Asia,” she said.

In late 2019, Netflix uploaded Crash Landing on You, a romantic drama about a South Korean woman crash-landing into North Korea and into the hands of a North Korean soldier.

The series made it into the top ten lists in the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.

Ms. Kim noted that Bong Joon-ho’s film Parasite (2019), which won the 2020 Academy Award for Best Picture among other awards, helped in opening up the market for Korean content.

“[Parasite] made the gate wider for a lot of these great stories… outside of Korea and Asia. And [it helped] a lot of our audiences to also lower the barrier that existed… they are more open to experiencing shows that are not in their local language,” she said.

NEW SHOWS COMING
Starting March 28, Netflix will be streaming Rugal, a sci-fi series about a disgraced police officer accused of murdering his wife and then joining a special organization trying to defeat a terrorist organization.

Thriller Extracurricular, which airs starting April 29, follows a group of high school students who turn to a life of crime to pay their tuition and how their actions come back to haunt them.

The King: The Eternal Monarch meanwhile is a romantic-fantasy-drama about relationships of people in two parallel universes. It airs in April (no specific date).

In June, Netflix will release It’s Okay Not to be Okay, a romantic drama about two people who fall in love as they heal each other’s emotional and psychological wounds.

Currently, the newest shows to hit Netflix are Itaewon Class, Hi, Bye Mama!, Hyena, Hospital Playlist, Kingdom Season 2, and My Holo Love.

Netflix also announced three more titles currently in production: a travel reality show Twogether about two celebrities going on a trip to various cities in Southeast Asia to meet their fans and become friends; The School Nurse Files, a paranormal series about a school nurse who has supernatural abilities; and another paranormal series, Sweet Home, about a boy moving into a haunted apartment complex after the death of his family. — Zsarlene B.

Phoenix to power GBP Cebu plants

PHOENIX Petroleum Philippines, Inc. is set to power Global Business Power Corp. (GBP) after the firms’ exclusive agreement on Monday.

The listed oil company will supply a total of 1.1 million liters of fuel to GBP’s two power plants based in Toledo City in Cebu for three months.

“This partnership is a result of the consistent and excellent service experiences we provide for our partners, as well as the high-quality fuel products we continue to offer to them at the best value,” Phoenix Petroleum Chief Operating Officer Henry Albert R. Fadullon said in a statement.

Phoenix Petroleum will be meeting the fuel requirements of the two GBP plants every month starting April.

Gov’t rejects all bids for T-bills as rates spike due to uncertainty

THE GOVERNMENT rejected all bids for the Treasury bills (T-bills) auctioned off on Monday as rates spiked with the offer undersubscribed as investors opted to hold cash amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

The Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) rejected all bids for T-bills worth P14.5 billion across all tenors yesterday, which made up only 72.5% of the P20-billion offering.

Broken down, bids for the 91-day T-bills totaled P7.53 billion against the P6-billion initial offer. Had the three-month papers been fully awarded, the average rate would have risen 81.7 basis points (bps) to 3.841% against last week’s rate of 3.024%.

For the 182-day papers, the Treasury rejected all bids worth P4.12 billion against the P6-billion program. Had it made a full award, the six-month papers would have fetched an average rate of 4.766%, jumping by 136.8 bps from the 3.398% fetched previously.

The BTr likewise did not award any 364-day papers as total tenders stood at just P2.85 billion or only 35.62% of the P8-billion plan. If fully awarded, the one-year securities would have fetched an average rate of 5.35%, higher by 179.3 bps than last week’s rate of 3.557%.

National Treasurer Rosalia V. de Leon told reporters in a Viber message that they opted to reject all bids across the tenors due to higher rates, as investors made “throwaway bids” since they want to hold on to their cash amid uncertainties due to the virus.

“Throwaway bids. Preference to hold cash with lingering virus. Not serious bids,” Ms. De Leon said.

She said this trend of higher rates and low bids is “expected to continue” but will “hopefully not” spill over to the next quarter.

The BTr has yet to release its borrowing program for the second quarter.

Meanwhile, a bond trader said the result was expected as demand for T-bills is still low as the “market was not able to fully absorb the T-bills auctioned off last week.”

“Last week’s auction was an evidence that the trend of falling yields for T-bills is over. The BTr probably rejected the bids to prevent yields from rising again. Investors prefer cash and that may just be the trend for a while,” the trader said in a Viber message.

The trader said a “throwaway bid” is a defensive way of bidding where investors place offers for higher returns as these are expected to be “rejected or awarded close to the high accepted yield.”

President Rodrigo R. Duterte placed Luzon under enhanced community quarantine until April 13 to contain the spread of COVID-19 that has infected 396 and killed 33 people in the country as of Monday.

On Tuesday, the BTr will offer P30 billion worth of fresh seven-year Treasury bonds (T-bonds).

The Treasury has set a P420-billion local borrowing program this quarter, broken down into P240 billion in T-bills and P180 billion via T-bonds.

The government plans to raise P1.4 trillion this year from local and foreign lenders to plug its budget deficit, which is expected to widen to as much as 3.2% of gross domestic product. — Beatrice M. Laforga

FDCP to help quarantine-affected audio-visual workers

THE Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) has created a program to assist audio-visual workers displaced by the suspension of work due to COVID-19.

“The FDCP DEAR (Disaster/Emergency Assistance and Relief) Program is not a one-off initiative. Though this was inspired by the COVID-19 crisis, we want to learn from this and make sure that the agency is better prepared in handling such cases in the future. As a permanent program of the FDCP, this disaster fund will be activated every time there is an emergency and the State of Calamity declared by the President,” FDCP Chairperson and CEO Mary Liza B. Dino, said in a statement on Monday.

The council noted that many of the workers in the audio-visual (AV) industry — mostly the freelancers, which include talents, production staff, and technical crew members — are paid on a “per day” basis and follow a “no work, no pay scheme,” and are thus left without means to support themselves while the crisis continues.

The program will include audio-visual workers registered in the FDCP National Registry “which maintains the database of the different sectors of the audio-visual industry including AV industry workers” and “provide assistance in accessing social services, skills development workshops and program, basic legal assistance, and work opportunities,” according to the statement.

The DEAR program will provide “financial assistance to disaster-affected freelance AV workers who suddenly lost work as a direct result of a major disaster,” and is meant to complement the COVID-19 Adjustment Measures Program (CAMP) of the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) which covers private companies whose employees regardless of status (regular, contractual, project-based).”

Those qualified for the program are AV workers who have suddenly become unemployed for at least seven working days as a direct result of a major disaster and are not eligible for other government-instituted benefits. A flat-rate financial assistance of P8,000 will be given to those with approved application and is for one-time only.

Those who are not part of the registry may apply for both the program and the registry concurrently.

“FDCP emphasizes that DEAR benefits are not payable to individuals who are entitled to or qualified for regular unemployment compensation, waiting period credit, or benefits from the DoLE, Social Security System (SSS), their local government unit, their own employer, and similar agencies,” the statement read.

The FDCP aims to give financial aid to 2,000 AV workers on its initial launch and priority will be given to low-income individuals such as technical crew and production staff.

“The FDCP guarantees that it will be working to get more funds and hopes to expand its support to as many as 20,000 freelance AV workers to cover the other sectors of the industry through the program,” it said.

“The audio-visual industry is unique. While we have the regular employees that can be covered by government instituted programs, there is the 70% of the workers in this industry who are not under an employer-employee relationship, without 13th-month pay and leave credits. It’s FDCP’s goal to make sure that they are not left behind. They may not have an employer to run to, but they should have us, the government, that they can turn to in these hard times. It’s time to band as one so we can look after our industry. We can weather this pandemic together,” Ms. Dino said.

In exchange for the assistance, FDCP beneficiaries “must commit to rendering return service by participating in at least two FDCP-led or FDCP-supported events, activities, or projects as a volunteer worker or professional, serving in the capacity of their field.”

“The return service must be rendered for free within two years upon the receipt of the DEAR Program assistance,” the council said.
