Ang Bureau of Customs (BOC) at ARISE Plus Philippines kamakailan ay nag-organisa ng malawakang "Integrated Risk Management (IRM) Awareness, Risk Analysis, and Treatment Workshop." Layunin nito ang mapabuti ang kahandaan ng BOC sa pagsunod sa mga pangako nito sa ilalim ng World Trade Organization – Trade Facilitation Agreement (WTO-TFA), Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA), at mga umuusbong na pambansa at internasyonal na mga kinakailangan.

Sa pakikipagtulungan ng International Trade Center (ITC), ang mga workshop ay idinisenyo upang magbigay ng masusing talakayan at buong-likas na diskarte sa pagpapabuti ng mga tradisyonal na pamamahala ng panganib sa loob ng BOC Risk Management Office (RMO). Aktibong nakilahok ang mga opisyal ng customs sa praktikal na pagsasanay, kung saan nakikilahok sila sa iba't ibang mga senaryo ng negosyo.

Ang mga pagsasanay na ito ay nakatuon sa pagtatatag ng mga pangunahing elemento para sa matagumpay na pagpapatupad ng mga diskarte sa pagsusuri ng panganib. Kasama dito ang mga paksa tulad ng pagtukoy sa mga paglalarawan ng panganib, pagtukoy sa mga mapanganib na lugar, at pagtatatag ng pamantayan para sa mga profile ng panganib. Ipinalabas rin ng mga kalahok ang mga praktikal na paraan ng pagtrato sa panganib, mga rehistro ng panganib, at ini-explore ang mga makabagong diskarte sa pamamahala ng panganib.

Binigyang-diin ni Ms. Chisa-Hasiena C. Mamowalas, Officer-in-Charge ng Risk Management Office (RMO), ang kahalagahan ng pagsasama ng mga elemento na itinataguyod ng BOC RMO sa kanyang pambungad na pananalita. "Ang paggawa ng desisyon na nakabatay sa peligro ay pinakaepektibo kapag isinasama ang mga itinataguyod na elemento ng Integrated Risk Management, kabilang ang synergy sa mga TRGA at customs, at ang aplikasyon ng matatag na sistema ng ICT."

Sinabi ni Commissioner Bienvenido Y. Rubio, "Ang inisyatibang ito ay napakahalaga dahil binibigyan nito ng kasanayan ang ating mga opisyal na makakatulong sa pagsusunod-sunod ng mga proseso sa kalakalan, na mahalaga sa 5-Point Priority Program ng ating ahensya."

Enchanted Kingdom receives several government recognitions; and finalist for the IAAPA 2023 Brass Ring Excellence Awards for two categories

Enchanted Kingdom (EK), the first and only world class theme park in the Philippines, garnered three government recognitions this year from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and the Department of Tourism (DOT) – amplifying the company’s steadfast vision to be a world-class integrated attractions destination in Asia, and the Philippine leader in wholesome family leisure and entertainment

EK was recognized by BIR as the Top 2 Highest Value Added Tax contributor in the Biñan - West Laguna District for the first semester of 2023. The said recognition stands as proof of the company’s prompt and accurate payments, making a significant contribution to the attainment of the district’s revenue goal for the first half of 2023.

EK’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Melissa Y. Monicayo emphasized the company’s commitment to pay the right taxes on time to the BIR. “This is in part of EK’s obligation to give back to our community, as we recognize our impact to the progress of our region,” she explained. In fact, Santa Rosa City Mayor Arlene B. Arcillas acknowledged EK as one of the city’s top taxpayers during EK’s Giant Parol Lighting held last November.

Last November, the DTI-Bureau of Domestic Trade Promotion (BDTP) gave a special recognition to Enchanted Kingdom for being the first and longest Go Lokal retail partner during the FlexPinoy: Saludo sa Go Lokal! Retail Partners appreciation ceremony held at the DTI Head Office in Makati City. The event recognized Go Lokal retail partners and store operators who have made significant contributions to the continued success and growth of the innovative market access program of the DTI-BDTP.

According to Ms. Ma. Cherina Consunji, Head of Merchandise Division, Enchanted Kingdom embraced the “Go Lokal” initiative and promotes indigenous products through the establishment of “Pugad” in 2016. “Pugad is EK’s local souvenir shop which aims to provide access to new markets and a bigger audience for artisanal products in the country,” Ms. Consunji furthered.

And most recently, EK was one of the awardees during the "Mabuhay at Salamat Po! Filipino Brand of Service Excellence (FBSE) Recognition Celebration of Love" held last December 12 at the Makati Diamond Hotel, Makati City. Led by DOT Secretary, Maria Christina Frasco, the event recognized the significant contributions of Enchanted Kingdom and other institutions in advocating the FBSE and contributing greatly to the achievement of training more than 124,000 tourism frontliners for 2023.

As of this writing, 89% of EK’s full-time Cast Members have been trained under DOT’s flagship program which is envisioned to enhance and uplift the quality of tourism services in the country aimed at fostering excellent service to tourists as part of our distinct Filipino brand. Pauline C. Barreiro, EK’s Learning and Development Manager and a certified FBSE enterprise trainer shared that EK is geared towards training 100% of its full-time Cast Members by next year.

Moreover, Enchanted Kingdom’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) Dr. Cynthia R. Mamon also shared that the world-class theme park is a finalist in two categories for the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Brass Ring Excellence Award, which recognizes significant achievement in the global attractions industry.

EK is a finalist for the Human Resources Excellence: Best Health and Wellbeing Strategy category and the Games and Merchandise Excellence: Best Retail Visual Merchandise Display category. Winners will be officially announced and the awarding will be in the The Venetians, Las Vegas in March 2024.

“The year 2023 is a remarkable year for Enchanted Kingdom, as we recover from the impact of the recent pandemic. We are looking forward to a more magical 2024 as we continue to deliver world-class leisure and entertainment to all Filipinos. As our Anniversary slogan goes, “Be the Magic… Be Enchanted!” Dr. Mamon said.

APAT NA TAONG PAGSAMA-SAMA NG MGA MUSIKERO SA TATLONG BAYAN SA QUEZON MATAGUMPAY NA IDINAOS KAGABI SA INFANTA

Matagumpay na isinagawa kagabi araw ng linggo December 31, 2023 na maituturing na Reunion ng mga musikerong nagmula sa bayan ng Real, Infanta at General Nakar sa lalawigan ng Quezon.

Isang makabuluhang tugtugan at awitan bilang paghahanda sa pagsalubong sa bagong taon kasama ang buong pwersa ng mga musikerong tinutulungan ni Infanta Vice Mayor L.A. Ruanto sa panahon ng pandemya hanggang ngayong kasalukuyan na ginanap sa mismong bahay ng bise alkalde.

Kasamang nakiisa ang Pachicha Band, Panomas band, Manibalang band, Akizum, 7Signs, November Av, JB Duo at Quezelco band na mga kilala sa naturang lugar.

Ayon kay Ruanto, napakalaking tulong ang musika upang mai-divert ang kaisipan ng mga kabataan na nalulong sa masamang gawain.

Sinabi rin ng bise alkalde, na lalo pang paigtigin o mahasa ang talento ng bawat isa upang mas lalo pang makikilala ang bawat grupo na mas lalo pang mabigyan ng oportunidad pagdating sa mga tugtugan hindi lang sa kanilang lugar pati na sa iba't-ibang karatig probinsya.

Hinihikayat din ni Vice Mayor Ruanto ang mga musikero na kapag may bakanteng panahon ay kailangang makapaglaan ng oras na makapagbahagi sa iba pang mga kabataan na may passion sa mundo ng musika na maturuan ang mga ito.

Inaasahan din na susunod na taon ay magkakaroon ng music festival sa Bayan ng Infanta upang mas madami pang madiskubre na mga mahihilig sa musika.

Kasabay nito, nagkaroon ng pagpupulong ang mga musikero at nagkasundo ang bawat kasapi nito na mas palawigin pa at gawing mas makabuluhan pang higit ang tradisyong nasimulan sa pamamagitan ng mga programa at galaw na hindi lamang sa musika, sa halip ay kada taon ay may iiwanang programa o act of kindness na makakatulong sa mga kapatid sa musika na higit na nangangailangan.

Kaya naman kagabi habang nakikinig ng tugtugan ay may kaunting kasiyahan na may masasarap na pagkain at tradisyunal tagayan.

Bago umuwi ang bawat musikero ay hindi nawawala ang papasko o panghanda na iuuwi handog mula kay Governor Doktora Helen Tan at pinasaya rin ni Vice Mayor L.A. RUANTO ng pa cash gift. (JR Narit)🧧🎁

SM Foundation brings cutting-edge care to 200th health center

Rural health centers are more than just buildings—they're lifelines, offering a comprehensive range of health services at a minimal cost or even free to the most vulnerable. The presence of dedicated healthcare providers, who truly grasp the local struggles and share the community's cultural fabric, imbues these centers with a profound sense of purpose, fostering genuine trust.

Underscoring its firm belief in the power of health centers to improve lives and strengthen communities, the SM group’s foundation has recently unveiled the revitalized Santa Cruz Rural Health Unit (SCRHU). This marks a significant milestone for the organization, representing its 200th health center nationwide.

Service amidst challenges
SCRHU lies in the bustling landscapes of Laguna province, serving nearly 140,000 residents. Its reach extends beyond the immediate community, welcoming those from neighboring municipalities, primarily from low-income households.

For nearly a decade, Dr. Elmina Montesa has been the guiding force behind the old SCRHU. For years, she and her fellow health workers continued to extend services amidst the cramped spaces, inadequate facilities, and timeworn structure.

“Marami kaming programa na hindi namin malagyan ng lugar kasi kulang ang space kaya’t naghahagilap kami kung saan ito ipu-pwesto. Minsan, dahil sa challenge ng space, napapaisip kami kung sa labas na lang ba namin gagawin ang ibang programa. May kakulangan din po sa furniture noon,” she shared.

“Napupuno po kami lalo na pag may diabetic clinic—puno sa labas. Bagamat may tent, hindi sapat ito lalo na kapag umuulan. Hindi namin sila mapapasok dahil wala silang pu-pwestuhan. Hindi namin mai-provide ang comfort na nararapat para sa mga pasyente,” she added.

Despite the challenges, Dr. Montesa and her dedicated team of health workers report for duty daily, their hearts set on serving the community, particularly the most vulnerable—because for them, public service wasn't just a job; it was a calling.

“Iba ‘yung nararamdaman mong fulfillment sa trabahong ito. Napakasaya tuwing natutulungan mo ang pasyente at kita mo sa mga ngiti at mata nila na thankful sila dahil binigay mo sa kanila ang pangangailangan nila ng walang kapalit,” she said.

Uplifting community anchors
Dr. Montesa emphasized the value of health: “Kayamanan ng tao ang kalusugan. Kahit wala kang masyadong pera, pero intact ang kalusugan mo, maituturing mo nang kayamanan iyon.”

One with Dr. Montesa, SM Foundation collaborated with Sta. Cruz, Laguna to provide the best possible care to communities to increase access to healthcare and boost the morale of modern-day heroes.

From the once cramped center, the SM Foundation elevated SCRHU, following DOH’s guidelines. It now has clearly defined areas for different programs and functions, including patient consultation, examination rooms, treatment rooms, utilities, and staff areas. It improved the center’s layout to ensure accessibility, ample lighting and ventilation, and spacious walkways to avoid congestion and contamination.

It is equipped with a rainwater catchment facility for non-potable purposes to help lessen their reliance on municipal sources and contribute to water conservation efforts.

Beyond this, through the much-needed rehabilitation, the center now exudes warmth, with comfortable waiting areas for patients and reception area for health workers. Ensuring that the center remains community oriented, SCRHU has designated facilities for breastfeeding mothers, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. It also has a mobile play cabinet with gender-neutral toys to nurture comfort and promote coping in the face of illnesses.

As SM Foundation turned over the health center, Dr. Elmina and SCRHU turned over a new leaf in health care. “Masaya,” she smiled as she looked around the new SCRHU. “Dati, nakakapaghatid kami ng serbisyo kahit hindi conducive to working ang lugar. Kaya’t itong renovation mas magiging fulfilled kami dahil maganda ‘yung environment na aming gagalawan. Mas mapapaigting pa namin ang pagsisilbi namin sa komunidad.”

“Iba kasi pag maganda ang surroundings mo. Minsan, ‘yun lang ay sapat na para gumaan ang pakiramdam mo. Ngayong comfortable na ang center, mae-enhance na ang communication namin. Sa tulong ng organized at good environment, maipaliliwanag ng mabuti at magagawa kung ano ang nararapat na treatment para sa pasyente,” she added.

MPT South Gears Up for 2023 Holiday Traffic Surge on CAVITEX and CALAX

Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South), a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), is gearing up for the anticipated surge in traffic on the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX), including its C5 Link segment, and Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) as the holiday shopping and travel season enters full swing.

From the third to the last week of December 2023, the toll road company anticipates a 15% to 20% surge in traffic for CAVITEX, primarily from motorists in Cavite heading to Manila. The average daily traffic count is projected to increase to 208,000 vehicles, up from the current 181,000. Meanwhile, for CALAX, MPT South expects a significant 35% increase in traffic, rising to 47,000 from last year’s 35,000 figures. This surge is attributed to travelers from Manila going to Tagaytay and nearby cities and municipalities via the recently opened Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange, providing motorists with quicker access to tourist destinations.

With this, MPT South will be placed on ‘high-alert’ status and reinforce “Safe Trip Mo, Sagot Ko”, a motorist assistance program mobilized during holiday peaks across its high-speed road networks, starting 6AM of December 22 to 6AM of December 24, 2023; 6AM of December 26 to 6AM of December 27, 2023; and from 6AM of December 30, 2023 to 6AM of January 2, 2024. This program includes additional on-ground manpower for services like traffic management and toll collection, standby emergency medical services, and incident response teams. Motorist assistance is also accessible through 24/7 Customer Service Centers, a 24/7 Customer Care Hotline at 1-35000, and 24/7 social media channels (Facebook: fb.com/cavitexpressway, fb.com/OfficialCALAX, Twitter: twitter.com/caviteXpressway, twitter.com/OfficialCALAX) to ensure stress-free journey.

As part of the SMSK program, free towing for CLASS 1 vehicles up to the nearest exit will be provided during the period.

"As we gear up to ensure a safe and smooth journey for our motorists this holiday season, we advise everyone to plan their trips and check their vehicle’s health to avoid untoward incidents. We also encourage our motorists to take advantage of using their Easytrip RFID for quicker toll transactions, and even stand a chance to win in our MPTC’s Happy Holideals promo if they reload their account via MPT DriveHub App,” said, Mr. Raul Ignacio, MPT South President and General Manager.

The MPT DriveHub app provides users with convenient access to a range of Easytrip and CCLEX RFID services. With just a few taps on their phones, users can reload in real-time, check their balances, plan routes, and receive assistance in roadside emergencies.

MPTC 2024 HAPPY HOLIDEALSMPTC earlier announced the comeback of its Happy Holideals Promo as a way of giving back to its motorists with an extensive promo period from December 8, 2023- March 7, 2024. Motorists passing through any MPTC toll road at least 4x during the promo period stand a chance to win exciting prizes, including brand-new Chevrolet Tracker LS, Php 50,000, and Php 100,000. Two winners of brand-new Chevrolet Tracker LS, 40 winners of Php 50,000, and 10 winners of Php 100,000 will be selected during the promo period.

To earn points, motorists must download and link their RFID account to MPT DriveHub App. For every reload of Php 200.00 via the app, motorists also earn an additional point. Each point is equivalent to one raffle entry. For full promo mechanics, visit https://www.mptdrivehub.com.ph/promos/holideals. Per DTI Fair Trade Permit No. FTEB-179965 Series of 2023.

MPTC is the biggest toll road developer and operator in the country. Aside from the CALAX and CAVITEX network of toll roads, MPTC’s domestic portfolio includes the concessions for the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the NLEX Connector Road, the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) and the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) in Cebu.

PRO4A presents Accomplishment on Operations against Loose Fi****ms

Camp BGen Vicente P Lim – The Police Regional Office CALABARZON led by the Regional Director, PBGEN Paul Kenneth T Lucas presented significant accomplishments in its ongoing efforts to combat the proliferation of loose fi****ms within the region held today, at MPC Hall, this camp.

From October 1 to December 13, 2023, PRO4A personnel conducted various operations, including search warrants, Oplan Katok, and other strategic initiatives, resulting in the confiscation, seizure, recovery, and surrender of a substantial number of fi****ms.

Operating units confiscated 191 and recovered 8 loose fi****ms, while 28 were surrendered and 551 were turned in to authorities. With this accomplishment, PRO4A was able to arrest 182 individuals and filed cases to court in relation to violation of RA 10591 or Comprehensive Fi****ms and Ammunition Regulation Act.

“Our primary goal in these operations is to mitigate shooting incidents and other criminal activities involving the use of illegal fi****ms to ensure the safety of our communities,” PBGEN Paul Kenneth T Lucas said.

The fi****ms seized were often in the possession of individuals involved in criminal activities posing a direct threat to public safety. Through these efforts, PRO4A aims to curtail the potential for violence and create a secure environment for the residents of CALABARZON.

The PRO4A continuously implements robust preventive measures to avoid indiscriminate firing and related incidents such as public awareness campaigns to intensify efforts to educate the public on the dangers of indiscriminate firing and the legal consequences associated with it.

“Our personnel will conduct heightened patrols and set up checkpoints in strategic areas to deter any unlawful activities, including the illegal discharge of fi****ms. We are also collaborating closely with local government units, community leaders, and other stakeholders to foster a collective approach in maintaining peace and order during this festive season,” RD Lucas added.

The Regional Director also urges the public to partner with authorities in creating a secure environment, especially during the coming Yuletide season.

The loose fi****ms presented will be turned-in to the Regional Civil Security Unit 4A for proper disposal.(RPIO4A/Joel Cabactulan))
