Ichikawa WHO Award 2004 Marikina
Report of Visit to Marikina City Introduction In 2004, Ichikawa City received the “WHO Awards for Healthy Cities 2004”.This award was presented for the “Program about Diet Improvement and Nutrition at a Health Center” and the “Plan to Improve Smoker’s Manners with Cooperation from the Whole Community”, suggested in cooperation with Marikina City in the division “Promotion of healthy diet and physical activity through urban planning”. To date, Ichikawa City has entered an exchange program with other healthy cities in the world that are committed to futuristic endeavors. On this occasion, we thought that the effort in Marikina City serves as a useful reference and we decided to become partner cities. Prior to this visit, in May 2005, we received a mission consisting of four persons from Marikina City, and we held the exchange program to inspect Ichikawa City’s efforts as a health city, focusing on the diet improvement program and the Citizens Manners Act. The objective of this visit is to inspect and evaluate the specific efforts of Healthy City Marikina. The outline of Marikina City Marikina City makes up about 3.5 per cent of the gross area of metropolitan Manila, and it is located about 16 kilometers from Metro Manila. Its population is approximately 420,000. The young population consisting of children aged 5 to 20 in both genders is high, which differs from Japan’s aging society with fewer children. The gross area is about 21.98 square kilometers. The inner city is divided into 15 areas called Barangay and each Barangay has its own independent budget. -

President Rodrigo Duterte's Economic Team
Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 07/31/2020 6:07:26 PM Media Releases (February to June 2020) 1. March 16 Media Release: Philippine DoF pledges over USD525 million to support health authorities and provide economic relief during COVID-19 March 16, 2020 PRESS RELEASE Gov’t economic team rolls out P27.1 B package vs COVID-19 pandemic President Rodrigo Duterte’s economic team has announced a P27.i-billion package of priority actions to help frontliners fight the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and provide economic relief to people and sectors affected by the virus-induced slowdown in economic activity. The package consists of government initiatives to better equip our health authorities in fighting COVID-19 and also for the relief and recovery efforts for infected people and the various sectors now reeling from the adverse impact of the lethal pathogen. Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III, who chairs the Duterte Cabinet's Economic Development Cluster (EDC), said on Monday the measures in the package “are designed to do two things: First is to ensure that funding is available for the efforts of the Department of Health (DOH) to contain the spread of COVID-19. Second is to provide economic relief to those whose businesses and livelihoods have been affected by the spread of this disease.” “As directed by President Duterte, the government will provide targeted and direct programs to guarantee that benefits will go to our workers and other affected sectors. We have enough but limited resources, so our job is to make sure that we have sufficient funds for programs mitigating the adverse effects of COVID-19 on our economy,” he added. -
2014 Presidential Awards for Filipino Individuals and Organizations Message Overseas
My warmest greetings to the organizers, partners, nominees, and recipients of the Year 2014 Presidential Awards for Filipino Individuals and Organizations Message Overseas. The Philippines now enjoys its rightful place in the global community due to our determination to seize all opportunities for growth, uplift lives, and help restore the Filipino’s distinction in this highly competitive climate. It has been four years since we began to transverse the straight and righteous path, and we have come far: Change has indeed set in. We have regained our people’s confidence in our bureaucracy and institutions; we have endeavored to establish the necessary reforms to empower our citizenry; and we have transformed our country from the “Sick Man of Asia” into one of the top performing economies in the world. We have achieved all these because of our solidarity towards equitable progress, ensuring that, as we move forward, no man is left behind. This is why we in government promote volunteerism and social corporate responsibility: To cascade the benefits of our socio-economic programs to the grassroots level and enable more of our countrymen, especially the poor, to lead dignified lives. I join the Commission on Filipinos Overseas as you hold this search to pay tribute to Filipino individuals and organizations that have contributed greatly to Philippine development initiatives and have served the interests of Filipino communities overseas. I congratulate your BENIGNO S. AQUINO III Lingkod sa Kapwa Pilipino, Kaanib ng Bayan, Banaag, The President of the Philippines and Pamana ng Pilipino Awardees as well, for your efforts to better the conditions of our kababayans here in the Philippines and abroad, and represent the Filipino MANILA talent and industry in your adoptive homelands. -

22 JANUARY 2021, FRIDAY Headline STRATEGIC January 22, 2021 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 1 Opinion Page Feature Article DENR confiscates P124,000 worth of unregistered chainsaws IAN OCAMPO FLORA January 21, 2021 ELEVEN unregistered chainsaws worth more than P124,000 were confiscated by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in its intensified anti-illegal logging campaign in Pampanga in 2020. Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (Penro) head Laudemir Salac said their campaign against illegal chainsaws came from the marching order of environment secretary Roy Cimatu to prevent the actual cutting of trees in the forest areas to save the remaining natural resources. “This is one of our strategies or innovations to curb timber poaching in our forest lands in the province. Instead of the traditional approach of apprehending suspected illegal loggers while transporting forest contrabands, we go after those unregistered chainsaws, which may be used in illegal cutting of trees,” he explained. He said timber poachers usually used chainsaws which are not registered with the DENR and this approach may help prevent the actual cutting of standing trees in our forest. “Along with this, we also intensify further our illegal logging operations including the strict monitoring of lumber sources and supply of our registered lumber dealer and hardware,” he added. Section 6 of Republic Act No. 9175 or the Chainsaw Act of 2002 states that all persons who own or are otherwise in possession of chainsaws must register with the DENR. It identifies those persons authorized to possess and use a chainsaw such as those with subsisting timber license agreement or a private land timber permit, an orchard, tree, and industrial farmer, a license wood processor and the chainsaw shall be used for cutting of timber that has been legally sold to the applicant, and those shall use for a legal purpose. -
