THE PHILIPPINES AND FOOD PHILIPPINES The Philippines has established itself as one of the world’s most robust and promising markets. Since 2010, the Philippines has been one of the fastest-rising global economies in terms of gross domestic product (GDP). In 2016, the country grew by 7.1 percent in its 3rd quarter, recording the highest in Asia. The Philippines is seen to expand more than 6 percent until 2018 to rank among the fastest-growing in the world, according to Bloomberg. A backbone of this major breakthrough is the country’s manufacturing industry, contributing around 23-24% of the annual GDP. One of its primary sectors is food, which accounts for nearly half of the country’s total manufacturing output. As of 2016, the Philippines’ food manufacturing growth remains the second fastest in Southeast Asia. Labor productivity also recorded a significant increase by as high as 6% in 2015. Another economic driver is the surge of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that are becoming more globally competitive in exploring new market innovations, technologies, and products.

    19 APRIL 2021, MONDAY ✓ Headline STRATEGIC April 19, 2021 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 2 Opinion Page Feature Article 100 New Mining Deals Could Net P21B—MGB BYJONATHAN L. MAYUGA APRIL 19, 2021 3 MINUTE READ WITH the lifting of the moratorium on new mining projects following the signing of EO 130 by President Duterte, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) is looking at granting new mining contracts that could generate additional revenues and boost the economy within the next five years. Mines and Geosciences Bureau Director Wilfredo G. Moncano said at least 100 new mining projects currently in the pipeline can generate additional revenue of P20 billion in the form of excise tax and another P1 billion in annual revenue in the form of royalty tax. These new mining projects can generate at least 42,000 new jobs in the mining sector which currently employs around 230,000 persons. While the new mining projects can generate 42,000 new jobs, the employment opportunity from the multiplier effect of 4 persons for every 1 person benefiting direct employment will give mining hosts the much-needed economic boost, officials noted. “In the memo that we submitted to the office of the President, with the lifting of Section 4 of E.O. 79, we estimate additional taxes of P20 billion and royalty of about P1 billion. Plus there will be about an additional P58 billion worth of export because most of the minerals are exported. We estimate 42,000 new employment,” Moncano said in a radio interview. Under the Phase 1 Priority Mining Projects, there are at least 35 mining projects that are a step or two steps away from gaining their Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA), he added.

  • Pablo Picasso Perhaps a Closer Examination of What the Renowned
    1 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION “Everything you can imagine is real”- Pablo Picasso Perhaps a closer examination of what the renowned painter actually means is that if a human being can imagine something in the scope of the natural laws of reality and physics, then it exists. This rings true for visual art. Whatever a person can conjure in his mind, whether a creature of imagination or an event, the fact that he thought about it means it exists in the realm of reality—not necessarily the realm of physical reality but in the realm of cognitive and mental reality. Pablo Picasso’s quote has been proven by the dominance of visual culture at the present. Today, fascination and enhancement of what people can do and what people can appreciate in the visual realm has seen a significant rise among the people of this generation. With the rise of virtual reality and the Internet in the West, combined with the global popularity of television, videotape and film, this trend seems set to continue (Mirzoeff 1999). In a book titled An Introduction to Visual Culture by Nicholas Mirzoeff, he explained that visual culture, very different from it’s status today, suffered hostility in the West: “a hostility to visual culture in Western thought, originating in the philosophy of Plato. Plato believed that the objects encountered in everyday life, including people, are simply bad copies of the perfect ideal of those objects” (1999, 9). Plato had the idea that what artists do are mere copies of the original, which makes it lose significance because copying what already exists, for Plato, is pointless: 2 In other words, everything we see in the “real” world is already a copy.

That growth continued into the first quarter of 2013, with a 7.8 percent year-on-year increase. The growth rate is projected to stay at about six percent or higher in 2013. • Government and consumer spending fueled the growth. On the production side, the service sector drove the acceleration, with the industrial sector (primarily construction and electricity/gas/water supply) also contributing to growth. Remittances by Overseas Foreign Workers (OFW) continue to be a major economic force in the country’s economy. GDP-per-capita has risen to about $2,600. • The national government’s fiscal deficit ended 2012 at 2.3 percent of GDP, below the programmed 2.6 percent-to-GDP ratio but up from two percent in 2011.

Marianito G. Rufano, the forester of the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office in Bunawan, Agusan del Sur who was slain on Oct. 28, 2020. (Photo courtesy of Herzon Gallego/ PNA/ MANILA BULLETIN) Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) 13 (Caraga) Information Officer Herzon Gallego disclosed on Friday that suspect Sonny Yagong yielded to the Army’s 25th Infantry Battalion, and named Wilson Yagong, Tirso Yagong, and Jenefer O. Sudijana as the other suspects in the killing of Marianito G. Rufano. Rufano and his co-workers were in Barangay Bunawan Brook in Bunawan town on Wednesday afternoon to retrieve illegally cut logs when he was slain. “The suspect also handed over upon his surrender the murder weapon, and identified the other suspects,” Gallego said. He said Rufano confronted a group of men whom he suspected of being timber poachers, but was attacked by the latter instead. “The DENR-Caraga will file criminal charges today (Friday) against the suspects,” Gallego said. Aside from murder, DENR-13 will also file charges for violations of Presidential Decree 705, or the Revised Forestry Reform Code of the Philippines, for stealing forest products inside a forestland owned by the government, he added.
