Laurea MANILA — The Philippines’ Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is among the recipients of “Oscar on Best Policies” award. Secretary Roy A. Cimatu, during the online awarding ceremony of Future Policy Award 2021 held recently, acknowledged the Special Award for Lead in Paint category which the Philippines received as a result of the issuance of DENR’s Administrative Order (DAO) No. 2013-24 or the Chemical Control Order for Lead and Lead Compounds. The DAO mandates the prohibition on the use of lead and lead compounds in the production/manufacturing of packaging for food and drink, fuel additives, water pipes, school supplies, cosmetics, and paints. Cimatu said the award bespeaks the commitment of the national government in protecting human health and the environment through responsive policies. The Philippines is among the top five awardees from the 55 policies nominated, and the first Southeast Asian country to win the award. The Future Policy Award dubbed as the “Oscar on Best Policies” is an annual event of the Germany-based World Future Council. Last December 23, 2013, then DENR Secretary Ramon J. Paje issued DAO 2013-24 pursuant to Republic Act 6969 otherwise known as the Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Act of 1990, and to other previous DAOs and implementing policies. The DAO 2013-24 aims to increase awareness about the toxicity of lead and lead compounds and the availability of the technically superior and safer alternatives.

  • Rose, Broschuere Israel Defense Forces.Pdf
    Editorial ie israelische Armee – ihre offizielle Bezeichnung „Israelische Verteidigungsarmee“ (Israeli Defense Forces – IDF, auf Hebräisch Zahal) – ist ohne Zweifel die bei D weitem stärkste Armee des gesamten Nahen Ostens. Bereits beim ersten israelisch-arabischen Krieg 1948 stellte sich sehr rasch die Überlegenheit Israels heraus, was einerseits auf die massiven Waffenlieferungen aus Europa, die weitaus bessere Ausbildung und Motivation der israelischen SoldatInnen aber auch auf die mangelnde Organisation, Koordination und Ausbildung der arabischen Armeen zurückzuführen war. Das bis heute von Israel und seinen Lobbyisten genährte Narrativ der existentiellen Bedrohung Israels durch „die Araber“ stellt daher eine zynische Verdrehung der Tatsachen dar. Wenn man von einer tatsächlichen Bedrohung sprechen kann, dann von einer der arabischen Staaten durch den in den Nahen Osten implantierten jüdisch- zionistischen Kolonialstaat. Die (Mit)schuld Europas und der USA an den Verbrechen am jüdischen Volk im Rahmen des Holocaust ausnützend hat es Israel mit Gewalt verstanden, beträchtliche arabische Gebiete zu erobern und zwar weit über die von der UNO im Teilungsplan von 1947 (Res. Nr. 181 der UN-Vollversammlung vom 29.11.1947) zugesprochenen Territorien hinaus. Israel hat sich aggressiv gegen alle arabische Nachbarstaaten verhalten und im Laufe der 65-jährigen Geschichte des Konfliktes von jedem betroffenen Staat (Ägypten, Jordanien, Libanon und Syrien) Gebiete besetzt und erobert. Die Besatzung ägyptischer jordanischer und libanesischer Gebiete dauerte Jahrzehnte an, der syrische Golan ist seit 1967 unter israelischer Kontrolle, ebenso der arabische Teil Jerusalems. Heute stellt aber die seit 1967 massiv betriebene – völkerrechtswidrige – Besatzungs-, Landraub- und Siedlungspolitik Israels in den palästinensischen Gebieten (hier geht es vor allem um die sogenannte Westbank) das Haupthindernis für jegliche politische Lösung des palästinensisch-israelischen Konfliktes dar.

Hindi ko matandaan yung exact words niya pero [sinabihan niya kami] na ‘alisin na ‘yan.’ Parang gano’n e. Kaya inalis naming lahat,” he added. (It’s like that but I can’t remember his exact words but he told us to take it off, so we did.) Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri, who was also in Malacañang Wednesday night, confirmed that the President did ask them to take their face shields off.
