    11 SEPTEMBER 2020, FRIDAY Headline STRATEGIC September 11, 2020 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 2 Opinion Page Feature Article Cimatu aims to increase the width of Manila Bay beach Published September 10, 2020, 7:55 PM by Ellayn De Vera-Ruiz Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Roy Cimatu said beach nourishment in Manila Bay may help increase the width of the beaches as they are “very narrow.” Environment Secretary Roy A. Cimatu (RTVM / MANILA BULLETIN) This was part of the DENR’s response to a letter sent by the office of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno last Sept. 7, seeking the agency’s clarification on the safety of dolomite to public health. In his response dated Sept. 8, Cimatu pointed out that beach nourishment is the practice of adding sand or sediment to beaches to combat erosion and increase beach width. Beach nourishment, he explained, should be applied in Manila Bay because “Manila Bay is not considered prone to coastal erosion as it is mostly protected by seawalls, but the beaches are very narrow.” He cited that under the writ of continuing Mandamus issued by the Supreme Court on Dec. 18, 2016, a marching order was given to 13 government agencies, including the DENR to spearhead the clean up, rehabilitation, and preservation of Manila Bay “to make it more suitable for swimming, skin diving, and other forms of contact recreation and for protection of coastal communities.” “After dredging and clean up of the Bay, it was agreed upon by members of the different agencies involved in the rehabilitation of Manila Bay that the initial beach nourishment in Manila Bay will be applied in segment between the area fronting the US Embassy and the Manila Yacht Club to mimic a sort of a ‘pocket beach,’ the northern portion protected by the compound of the US Embassy and the south side sheltered by the Mall of Asia compound,” the letter read.

  • Electoral Disinformation: Looking Through the Lens of Tsek.Ph Fact Checks Yvonne T
    FEATURE Electoral Disinformation: Looking Through the Lens of Tsek.ph Fact Checks Yvonne T. Chua and Jake C. Soriano Elections are fertile ground for disinformation. The 2019 midterm elections, like the 2016 presidential election, buttress this observation. This ugly side of electoral contests is documented by Tsek.ph, a pioneering collaborative fact-checking initiative launched by three universities and eleven newsrooms specifically for the midterms. Its repository of fact checks provides valuable insights into the nature of electoral disinformation before, during and after the elections. Clearly, electoral disinformation emanates from candidates and supporters alike, on conventional (e.g., speeches and sorties) and digital (e.g., social media) platforms. Its wide range of victims includes the media no less. Keywords: Philippines, elections, Tsek.ph, fact-checking, journalism If there was one bright spot in the May 13, 2019 Philippines midterm elections, that certainly would be the groundbreaking collaborative fact- checking initiative undertaken by media and academia to help counter the escalation of political disinformation in the country. Launched February 11, the eve of the campaign period, Tsek.ph was instrumental in addressing newsroom rivalry and other barriers that for years had deterred newsrooms from working alongside one another, not even after the Philippines was dubbed “Patient Zero” of the modern disinformation age as early as 2016 (Rappler, 2018). During the presidential election that year, an insidious, sophisticated network

  • The 17Th Congress: an Overview
    CongressWatch Report No. 191 Report No. 191 13 June 2016 The 17th Congress: An overview The 2016 Philippine Election proved to be successful in terms of voter turnout, with over 44.3 million Filipinos (84% of total registered voters) participating, resulting to a substantially higher turnout rate than those of previous election years. And with the conclusion of the canvassing of votes by the COMELEC and the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC), we now have an overview of the incoming 17th Congress. The Senate Of the 24 senators serving in the 17th Congress for the next three years, six are from the Liberal Party (LP), five are Independent, four are from the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA), three each from both the Nacionalista Party (NP) and the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC), and one each from Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP), PDP-Laban, and Akbayan. Out of the 12 incoming senators in 2016, only three are incumbents and majority (9 out of 12) are first-term senators, though four of them have already served previously in the Senate. Of the remaining 12 who started their terms in 2013, five will be finishing their second terms by 2019. From the 16th Congress, six senators are ending their second terms; out of the six, one will be serving in a lower position (Sen. Pia Cayetano won as the Representative of the 2nd District of Taguig), two others ran for higher and lower offices but lost, while the remaining three opted not to seek any other elective position. Shortly after the results of the elections were released to the public, Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas- CMD), NP, and NPC signed a coalition agreement with PDP-Laban, incoming President Rodrigo Duterte’s political party, thereby, comprising the presumptive majority bloc in the Senate.

Prospects for CY 2021 MANDATE, MISSION AND VISION MANDATE The Mines and Geosciences Bureau is the primary government agency under Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) responsible for the conservation, management, development and proper use of the country’s mineral resources including those in reservations and lands of public domain. In pursuing the mandate, it envisions a mining and minerals industry that is not only prosperous but also socially, economically and environmentally sustainable, with broad community and political support while positively and progressively assisting in the government’s program on revitalizing the minerals industry and contribution to the general economic well-being of the nation. MISSION The MGB, as steward of the country's mineral resources, is committed to the promotion of sustainable mineral resources development, aware of its contribution to national economic growth and countryside community development. It fully recognizes that the development of a responsive policy framework in partnership with stakeholders to govern mineral exploration, mining and investment decisions and an effective institutional structure, are fundamental requisites for the sustainable utilization of the country's mineral resources.
