SAKO-SAKONG BASURA NANAKOT DAAN-daang volunteer mula sa gobyerno at pribadong sector ang nakilahok kahapon upang maglelong-tulong sa paghahakot ng mga sako-sakong mga basura mula sa dalampasigan ng Manila Bay sa may Las Pinas-Paranague Critical Habitat Ecotourism Area malapit sa Coastal Area. Ang mga sako-sakong basura ay nahakot matapos ang isang linggong pag-ulan dala ng habagat. Nagkalat ang plastic at iba pang mga basura sa ilang kilometrong haba ng baybayin sa habitat bago magsimula ang paglilinis da,kong 6:00 ng umaga. Napag-alaman na lingguhan naman ang ginagawang paglilinis sa naturang lugar mula nang magsimula ang Ma- nila Bay Clean-up project. Ayon sa pahayag ng Paratiaque City Environment and Natural Resources Office, wala ang mga naturang basura noong nakaraang Sabado matapos ang kanilangihuling sama- samang clean-up sa lugar.

ARAM1NG corrupt na opisyal at empleyado Msa Bureau of Customs (BOC). Katibayan dito ang 50 opisyal at empleyado na sangkot sa corruption na pinatawag ni President Duterte noong Huwebes. Bibigyan sila ng pagkakataong idepensa ang sarili sa proper forum. 'Palamak talaga ang corruption sa BOC at maa- ring hindi lang 50 opisyal at empleyado ang sangkot. Pati pala ang imported na basura kaya nakakapasok sa bansa ay dahil din sa mga corrupt sa BOC. Sila fang kasi ang nakaaalam kung may darating na shipment at alam nila kung ano Ito. Alam nila na basura ang parating at alam nilang bawal ang pag-eeksport ng basura ayon sa Basel Ban Amendment. Mahigpit na ipinagbabawal ang pag-eexport ng basura mula sa brr no,/ ' developed countries to developing countries. 1 9 Pero ang kautusan ay nala bag nang husto sapagkat 7 772119 naging bagsalcan ng basura ang Pilipinas sa matagal na panahon. At nangyari iyon dahil na rin sa matind- ing corruptions sa BOC. Lahat Hang pagkakakitaan ng mga gahaman sa nasabing tanggapan ay papa- slain kahit na nga ang basura. Alam nilang bawal magpasok nito pero dahil malaki ang perang sangkot, pinapayagang malcalusot. Pera-pera Lang ang usapan at makakalusot sa Customs. Kung hindi pa nagalit si President Duterte sa Canada, hindi kukunin ang itinambak nilang mahigit 100 containers ng basura na naglalaman ng mga used diapers, hospital wastes at iba pang toxic na bagay na delikado sa kalusugan. Pitong taon na nakatambak sa bansa ang mga basura at naibahlc lamang sa Canada noong Mayo. Pinauwi ni Duterte ang ambassador doon at iba pang embassy officials dahil sa isyu ng Canadian trash. Napilitan ang Canadian government na hakutin ang basura. Bukod sa Canada, nagdala rin ng basura sa bansa ang South Korea, Australia at Hong Kong. Nagkusa na ang South Korea na ibalik ang basura nila. Ang Hong Kong at Australia ay kumikilos na rin umano sa pagbabalik ng kanilang basura. Inatasan na ng Department of Finance ang BOC na btunuo ng strike team para mapigilan ang pagpa- sok ng basura sa bansa. Sinuportahan ng EcoWaste Coalition ang ginawa ng DOF. Bakit ngayon lang ito naisip ng DOF. Dapat noon pa? Ngayong unti-unti nang nawawalis (sana nga) ang mga corrupt sa BOC, maaaring hindi na makapasok ang mga imported at hazardous na basura.

Tinitingnan ng World Bank ang Filipinas bilang pinakamabilis na wnuttrilad na ekonomiya sa Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) sa kasalukuyan.

Preparations for 4th SONA in full swing By EFREN MONTANO MALACANANG said preparations for President Rod- rigo Duterte's fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA) are in full swing, adding that the Chief Execu- tive had been editing his speech during rehearsals last Friday. Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said that Duterte has always been the one editing his SONA since he assumed office. Andanar said Duterte cut down his speech from 28 to just 19 pages. '"The original 28-page speech was cut to 19 pages. We are still revising the speech as ordered by PRRD. It's 98 percent done. The speech will be about 45 minutes to an hour-long without adlib," said Andanar. During the rehearsals which ended around 10 p.m., Duterte was assisted by Andanar, Presidential Spokes- man Salvador Panelo and Senator Bong Go. Television and film director Joyce Bernal who was tapped to direct Duterte's fourth SONA was also present. Andanar said Radio Television Malacafiartg (RTVM) and Rental's team are ready for the event.

LGUs urged to ensure safety of high-rise buildings Local government units (LGUs) should ensure that high-rise structures are safe and would pose no threats to their occupants especially during times of natural calamities such as typhoons and earthquakes, a climate change expert said. Glenn Banaguas, executive director of De La Salle Araneta University's Environ- mental and Climate Change Research Institute, said that LGUs should conduct due diligence on structural integrity and adopt disaster resilient strategies and implement these in their locali- ties. Banaguas noted that China, for example, has implemented new reinforced bar or rebar standard rules, which also banned quenching and tempering of steel rebars. The new rebar stan- dard, which took effect on Nov. 1,2018, was aimed at preventing water-cooled bar disguised as hot-rolled rebar from being sold in the market. The changes in the rebar regulations were trig- gered by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, that killed over 69,000 people and injured 374,176. Banaguas added that LGUs should be stricter in granting building permits and ensure that only stan- dard materials are used in the construction of high-rise struc- tures. He said the reported prevalence of substandard steel in the market was a major concern. To ensure the safety of existing quench tempered steel in the market, Banaguas said it has to be tested more. "It has to undergo a series of tests," he said.

Building community resilience top govit priority There will be no letup in the fight against climate change and disaster risks as building resilient communities remains a top priority for government. Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu assured this recently during a pre-State of the Nation Address (SoNA) forum held in Davao City. "In the coming months, we will continue to strengthen our programs and policies to assure the resilience of our communities," Cimatu said. As a way forward, Cimatu said the Duterte administration will continue to pursue policy reforms that integrate climate and disaster risk considerations into development policies, strategies, plans and programs. Cimatu pointed out that the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will continue to coordinate closely with other line agencies under the Cabinet Cluster on Climate Change Adaptation, Mitigation and Disaster Risk Reduction to ensure that they work together toward the goal of establishing adaptive and resilient communities. The DENR chief co-chairs the cluster with Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, while the Climate Change Commission acts as the cluster secretariat. The members include the Executive Secretary, the Cabinet Secretary, and the heads of the Presidential Management Staff, the Department of Budget and Management, the National Economic and Development Authority, the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), the Department of Finance, and the Department of Science and Technology (DoST).
