Greetings to everyone on our 44th Anniversary as we also celebrate the 26th Probation and Parole Week on July 18-24, 2020. Why RESILIENCE? – Because we need to get back on our feet as fast as we can! Resilience means… ‘the ability to recover from a misfortune or change’. Definitely, the COVID-19 pandemic brought a radical change in our lives, in the way we do things nor- mally, or as we are used to doing things. But let us not despair, let us not resist. Let us embrace this change, because we need to find an oppor- tunity in this difficulty rather than see difficulty in this opportunity… an opportunity to create solutions! Let’s not be pessimists, who complain about the wind; not optimists, who expect the wind to change. But let us be realists who adjust the sails to manage the wind. Let’s just be patient. Sometimes we have to go through the worst to get to the best. Let us see this pandemic as both a lesson and a blessing. LESSON because it taught us to revisit, rethink, reboot or reconfigure our mindset; to take a paradigm shift. After all, it is not our situation but our reaction to the situation that makes things difficult as we find it hard to depart from our comfort zone. Yet, life begins beyond our comfort zone. If we accept the change and try to adapt, then we find that we can just as well survive and thrive. Because as Darwin said, “It’s not the strongest nor the smartest, but the most adaptive species that survive”. BLESSING because during this pandemic, when you arise in the morning, just think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to move, to enjoy, and to love! If you come to think of it, others aren’t so lucky. Others can hardly breathe. They can hardly move. And sometimes they just stay and remain in the hospital bed. There they stay in the Mona Lisa Hospital, where they just lie there… and they die there. We are indeed so blessed that we are alive, kicking and bustling. So do not worry much, because this, too, shall pass. Just stay alive, trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper! And keep in mind that… what we do well yesterday, we can do better today. So… Let’s Be Resilient. Happy Anniversary! ALLAN B. ALCALA OIC-ADMINISTRATOR 24 July 2020 Page 4 Community Corrections Journal PPA Joins the 2020 Virtual FOI-FRO Hangout he Parole and Probation Administration (PPA) participated in the 2020 Freedom of Information T (FOI) Receiving Officers Hangout held last September 25, 2020 by the Presidential Communica- tions Operations Office (PCOO). Attended by almost 170 Receiving Officers from different national government agencies, the annual gathering was conducted online and facilitated by Ms. Danica A. Orcullo and Ms. Patricia Marri O. Ma- ranan, FOI Senior Compliance Officer and FOI PBB Validating Officer, respectively. The event was opened by Assistant Secretary Kristian Ablan with welcome remarks, while Secretary Jose Ruperto Martin Andanar delivered his message. During the hangout, the PCOO reported on the status of FOI program implementation in the country and the compliance rate of all national government agencies, government-owned and controlled corpora- tions, state universities and colleges and local water districts in the program. According to PCOO, 100% NGAs, 92% GOCCs, 96% SUCs and 41% LWDs are implementing the program. On the other hand, 490 offices are already onboard the eFOI portal and had acted upon a total of 39,970 requests from November 2016 to September 2020. To date, a total of 69,611 requests, both paper-based and electronic, were received during the same period. The PCOO also bared that the government agencies with the greatest number of FOI requests during the lockdown were the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Social Security System, Depart- ment of Overseas and Local Employment, Department of Education, Overseas Workers and Welfare Administration and the Department of Health. Prior to the hangout event, the PCOO and the National Privacy Commission (NPC) jointly conducted the 1st Data Privacy and FOI Congress of 2020 wherein various clarifications were made on the relevant and critical issues surrounding the implementation of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 specially during the pandemic. The said conference also served as a venue to debunk the myth about DPA and FOI being contradicting concept on information accessibility. /ecl Access the FOI website here: https://www.foi.gov.ph Turn to page 5 Community Corrections Journal Page 5 PPA QMS Internal Audit Team Conducts Audit n preparation for the forthcoming external audit of TUV NORD in November 2020, the Quality Man- I agement System (QMS) Core team of the Parole and Probation Administration started to conduct its internal audit of the concerned offices or sites from September 7 to October 29, 2020.

  • Overcoming Roadblocks to the New Silk Road - How China Can Win Over the Filipino People by Following Japan’S Investment Strategies in Vietnam
    A Publication from Creative Connect International Publisher Group 11 OVERCOMING ROADBLOCKS TO THE NEW SILK ROAD - HOW CHINA CAN WIN OVER THE FILIPINO PEOPLE BY FOLLOWING JAPAN’S INVESTMENT STRATEGIES IN VIETNAM Written by Brigitte Ann Castro 3rd Year J.D. Student, California Western School of Law Introduction While news outlets have been discussing the cooling of trade relations between the People’s Republic of China (“China”) and the United States (“U.S.”), there is a warmer reception for China on the other side of the world: the Republic of the Philippines (“Philippines”). The answer as to why the Philippines is welcoming, even after winning in an arbitration against China regarding control of the South China Sea,1 lies in one word: “DuterteNomics.”2 The Philippines government introduced this term to describe President Rodrigo Duterte’s (“Duterte”) economic programs and policies for bringing Philippines to the forefront of economic growth in Southeast Asia.3 Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar discussed a main program of DuterteNomics called the Build Build Build Infrastructure Plan (“BBB”), which is meant “to [solve the puzzle] on how to grow the economy, reduce poverty and [ease] congestion in Metro Manila.”4 It appears that the final puzzle piece lies with China’s Belt and Road Initiative, also called the One Belt One Road Initiative (“BRI”).5 China’s ambitious BRI has received mixed 1 The South China Sea Arbitration (Phil. v.

  • Philippine Federalism's Fortunate Falter
    ISSUE: 2018 No. 55 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore |13 September 2018 Philippine Federalism’s Fortunate Falter Malcolm Cook* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • President Rodrigo Duterte came to office in June 2016 committed to transforming the Philippines into a federal state during his term. • Despite the submission in early July of the draft federal constitution by the president’s hand-picked Consultative Committee to Review the 1987 Constitution, the push for federalism is faltering. • It is unlikely that a federal political system will be introduced before the end of Duterte’s single-term presidency. • This likely failure is good for the Philippines. * Malcolm Cook is Senior Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2018 No. 55 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION On 2 March 2016 in Dagupan City, Pangasinan, Rodrigo Duterte claimed that federalism was the centrepiece of his presidential election campaign.1 His surprise victory two months later as the standard-bearer for PDP-Laban, a party established in the early 1980s to promote a federal Philippines, meant that for the first time a presidential administration commenced with the central goal of transforming the Philippines from a unitary to a federal state. The administration wants to have a new federal constitution approved by plebiscite and the new federal structure of government established in time for the next scheduled presidential election in May 2022. This push for federalism progressed well in the first few months of the Duterte administration. PDP-Laban quickly transformed itself from a small minority party from Mindanao into the largest party, and the head of a massive majority in the House of Representatives and a majority in the Senate.

  • Institutionalizing Transparent Governance Secretary Silvestre H
    Institutionalizing transparent governance Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III Freedom of Information Awards Presidential Communications Operations Office Manila Peninsula, Makati December 12, 2019 Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, Congressman Alfred Vargas, Secretary Karlo Nograles, Secretary Martin Andanar, Assistant Secretary Kristian Ablan, Director Redempto Parafina, fellow public servants, good afternoon. In behalf of all the employees and officers of the Department of Labor and Employment, I thank the Presidential Communications Operations Office for shortlisting and recognizing DOLE’s Freedom of Information Program. Since our assumption at the Labor Department, we immediately initiated programs at the DOLE in answer to our President’s directive to all public servants to bring government to the people, improve public services, and ensure inclusive growth for all. Our reforms focused on institutional reforms that strengthened DOLE’s mandate to improve gainful employment, sustain workers’ rights and welfare, ensure industrial peace, and secure the rights of our migrant workers and OFWs. But underpinning these reforms were our thrust to improve service efficiency, promote optimum transparency, and ensure public accountability. Public trust is important for us for the President doesn’t tolerate inefficiency and, we all know, that he does not countenance corruption from anyone in government. Again, our gratitude to the PCOO for recognizing our efforts at institutionalizing transparent governance. These initiatives include: substantially reducing our Average Processing Time, having a constantly updated FOI Manual, ensuring a refined “No-Wrong-Door Policy,” instituting dynamic visibility and feedback mechanisms, and a sound information platform. For us, the FOI Award is a validation of our unwavering commitment and support to the President’s instructions against corruption and inefficiency.

Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs 3/2016: 111–137 The Spectacle of Violence in Duterte’s “War on Drugs” Danilo Andres Reyes Abstract: This article argues that, in Duterte’s “war on drugs”, state power is exercised through the body in a spectacle of humiliation and violence. The analysis draws from the work of Foucault (1979) on the political value of a spectacle of the body to explain the distinctive character of Duterte’s violent war on drugs; of Feldman (1991) on the use of the body as an object in which violence is embodied to send political messages; of Agamben (1995) on eliminating life supposedly devoid of value; and on Mumford et al.
