STRENGTHENING THE ASEAN PARTNERSHIP
Dr. Jaime Aristotle B. Alip (left), founder and chairman of CARD Mutually Reinforcing Institutions
(CARD MRI) attended the ASEAN Business and Investments Summit (ABIS) on November 12-
14, 2017 at Solaire Casino and Hotel, Entertainment City, Manila Philippines. Together with
him is Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor, Nestor Espenilla Jr. (center) and Dr. Fer
Martinez (right) of Eastern Petroleum. ABIS is a culminating event that brings top stakeholders
from the ASEAN Economic Community together to provide investments opportunities for the
ASEAN member countries. With CARD MRI continuously extending its scope for possible
partnership with other ASEAN members, great opportunities of investments will emerge that
can help extend its services to other ASEAN countries.

Ken Tabuena, a student
from Bato, Catanduanes, said
the Philippine economy and
tourism will grow hand in
hand.
He also cited the Filipino
designers who were given
the chance to create and craft
modern Filipiniana outfits for
the world leaders would ac-
knowledge the skills of Fili-
pino designers.
"We should also be proud
that we are hosting this monu-
mental event in its golden
year. ASEAN continually
helps to pursue equality and
pushing boundaries to fur-
ther strengthen the economic
ties between countries (sic),"
Tabuena added.
Nong Rangasa, Local Cli-
mate Change Adaptation for
Development (LCCAD) ex-
ecutive director, for his part,
said the interests of the people
should be the main concern
right now as member nations
move forward towards a stron-
ger ASEAN Community.
He said ASEAN’s bold vi-
sion of attaining and achiev-
ing free flow of quality of
goods, services, investment,
and skilled labor in the region
can directly help the country
achieve higher productivity
and economic diversification
with the right action, adapta-
tion policies and program of
activities.
“As we continue to forge
stronger support and collabo-
ration to address the great-
est threats to our respective
nations and the region as a
whole -- terrorism, global
warming and climate change
-- we must ensure and build
on the increased competencies
and capacities of our people
and local communities to ad-
dress and contribute towards
our goal of fostering equitable
and progressive sustainable
economic development across
the region,” Rangasa said.
“As an ASEAN Commu-
nity, we want an integrated,
recalibrated, peaceful, stable
and sustainable community.
But much work needs to be
done in order that this com-
munity that we all seek to
build will be better and rel-
evant and will help usher in a
better life for all the people in
the region,” he added.
Col. Perfecto Penaredondo,
former Brigade commander
in Albay, said he expects the
summit to be smooth sailing
and substantive in terms of en-
abling ASEAN member states
achieve collective and respec-
tive national objectives.
Police Superintendent
Marlo Menese said: "Sana
mag-cooperate ang mga kaba-
bayan natin to sacrifice a little
inconvenience (traffic, restric-
tions of movement, etc.) re-
sulting from this summit. Any
positive result in business,
economics, environmental/
climate change, risk reduc-
tion, human rights, terrorism
issues, among others, from
this meeting will benefit each
and every Filipino".
"Also, any good reception
we gave to each and every
leader will likewise benefit
our OFWs working in their
respective countries. If our
OFWs are treated well, they
earn and remit or inject more
money to our economy," Me-
neses added.
Jocelyn Atos, a mother
from Legazpi City, said, "the
ASEAN Summit is in Manila
yet the impact or the result
would benefit the entire coun-
try. We must support our gov-
ernment if we want change."
Meanwhile, Christine
Villanueva, a teacher from
Davao City who has now
made Albay and Masbate her
home, said: "The government
is doing what's best for us.
The ASEAN summit would
boost our economy and it
would generate more jobs,

MUTUAL COOPERATION: The

ties between the two countries even as
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern revealed
that the Filipinos are well – loved in her
country. Signing of the Memorandum
of Cooperation between the New

Education authorities happened during
the bilateral meeting between President
Duterte and Ardern.
The agreement was signed last
November 14 by CHED Chairperson
Patricia Licuanan and New Zealand
Ambassador to the Philippines David
Strachan. Duterte, as chair of the 31st
ASEAN Summit, also chaired the EAS.
He arrived at the bilateral meeting
after attending the ASEAN Summit’s

bilateral meeting that the signing of the
agreement is in recognition of the Phil-

to strong domestic demand and public

the cause of the pain. My general check-

expanded by 6.6% in July to September,
marginally stronger than the 6.5%
expansion recorded in the 3rd quarter.
This is slower compared with 7.0% last
year.
Domestic demand likely remained
firm, as consumers benefited from
steady inflows of overseas worker
remittances and a healthy job market,
and investment stayed firm with
the government – led infrastructure
projects. Non-residential construction
permits were up 16.8% year-on-year
in the first half of 2017 after a 7.8%

likely boosted GDP growth, as demand

“INCLUSIVE GLOBALIZATION”: 2.32% in the third quarter of 2017
ASEAN, the group of 10 Southeast
Asian nations with varying degrees of
eco-development, called for “inclusive
globalization” seen as “backpedaling”
to the existing trading model that only
heightened economic disparity among
people in the region. It strongly pushes
for inclusivity where everyone emerges
as winners. ASEAN, perceived as
global growing economic power, has
a combined young population of 600
million but of which half are considered

I heard provincial board member
Salvador Simando say on radio DWNX
in the program of Ed Ventura and
Grace Inocentes, that the Sangguniang
Panlalawigan of CamSur passed a
resolution urging the abolition of the
Partido Development Administration in
view of the failure to serve the people
the lawful purpose for which it was
created. He said that the PDA was
created for political ends rather than
serve its constituents.
He said that the PDAs potable water
system has become a national liability
because the national government is
now paying for the loan. What is wrong
with that? The people of Partido who
drink the water are taxpayers. At least
it is the people who benefit from it.
What about the loans of the province
of Camarines Sur and provinces in
Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Aren’t
they national liabilities? The PDA paid
already P142 million for the loan and it
does not want to increase the low rate
of twenty one centavos per cubic meter.
When there was no Partido
Development Administration, there was
no potable water system project in the
ten towns of Partido. Now, because of
PDAs potable water system project, all
the ten towns of the 4th district have
potable water and there are no more
call home. To ensure that those in
the pyramid bottom can participate
in trade, the Philippines championed
the development of micro, small
and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
AEC’s priority for this year magnifies
the imperative for the gains presented
ongoing economic integration to be
fully realized, shared by everyone.
AGRI-GROWTH SLACKENS IN
Q3: The country’s agriculture sector
slowed down in the third quarter of
the year but has logged higher gross
earnings of P383B on the back
of higher prices recorded across
different , mainly at crops. Data
from the Philippine Statistics Authority
(PSA) released yesterday showed
that the agriculture sector grew by
(much slower than the 2.98%growth
same period last year).
January-September, agriculture
recorded a 4.64% growth output,
coming from a decline of 1.53% same
period in 2016. The sector’s growth
came from production gains in crops,
livestock and poultry. In the third
quarter 2017, the gross value of the
agri-products amounted to P382.5B
at current prices. This was 6.27%
higher than 2016 gross earnings.
On the average, prices received by
farmers across the country went
up by 3.86% in Q3 and went up by
4.19% in Q1-Q3 2017.

that prior to the PDAs potable water

Goa whre Cong. Noli Fuentebella

There are towns in Camarines
Sur without potable water systems.
Why don’t the CamSur provincial
board members attend to these
municipalities and help the people
there.
The CamSur Sangguniang
Panlalawigan as mentioned by
Board Member Simando is a great
disservice to the people of the 4th

on a much lower price than

ference in price has to do with
the different costs drugmak-

continued.
Moreover, Laguardia
talked about the harms of ir-
responsible antibiotic intake.
According to her, antibi-
otics are medicines that help
stop infections caused by
bacteria. There are generic
and brand-name antibiotics.
But it could do more harm
than good if taken irrespon-
sibly.
“The public should be cau-

be sure, we advise you to visit
your doctor first before taking
anything,” Laguardia said.
