TECO chief holds ocular in Subic and Pampanga

RAYMOND L.S. Wang, the representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in the Philippines visited Taiwanese business in Subic and Pampanga on March 6.

He attended a meeting with Subic Bay Development Management Center president Jeff Lin and a number of Taiwanese businessmen who relayed their experiences in putting up their respective businesses in the country. They cited difficulties such as applying for loans, paying taxes, and renting land.

Wang, in turn, promised to do his best to provide assistance and support to the business owners, and expressed hope that the Subic Bay Metropolitan Area will continue to prosper and be a hub for international businesses.

Among the businesses Wang visited is a watermelon farm in Angeles, Pampanga owned by Victor Peng, who is known in the local Taiwanese community as the “King of Watermelons.” Peng uses agricultural technology and seeds from Taiwan, coupled with soil from the Philippines, to grow sweet and juicy seedless watermelons in his 560-hectare farm.

He also met with businessman Huang Ming-Meng, vice president of Tong Lung (Phils.) Metal Industry Co. who explained process of manufacturing locks. Tong Lung is ranked fifth among lock companies worldwide, which posted a revenue of NT$3.17 billion (P4.6 billion) in 2011. His company employs 850 workers in the Philippine factory, and produces 1.3 million units a month.

Finally, the TECO chief visited Green Gardens, an 11-hectare organic farm in Zambales owned by Johnson Huang that promotes green agriculture, which uses farming techniques and methodologies that are environment-friendly.

Mercado: Mamac: Our Man in Angeles

LIBERAL party (LP) leaders from Central Luzon Region will convene at the LP national headquarters March 28 to conduct a “Facilitators Training and Seminar on Liberal Democracy”; it was learned from Balibago chairman Tony Mamac who also heads the LP Angeles City Chapter.
Mamac perceived the regional workshop as a preparation for the next elections and as a commitment to President Aquino’s good governance agenda.
The former police major heads the city delegates to the conference and joins Central Luzon leaders in expressing confidence in the President’s reform policies.
San Fernando City Mayor Oscar Rodriquez leads provincial party leaders of Central Luzon Region and has his own plans of consolidating and expanding existing and future forces for Liberal Democracy.
During the Presidential campaign, Noynoy Aquino was overwhelmed by the mammoth crowd mobilized by Mamac upon short notice. Impressed by that spectacle, Mr. Aquino had no second thoughts in naming the Balibago chairman as head of the LP in Angeles. “He found great potentials in the former police officer as a leader and willing apostle to his future “matuwid na daan” program,” it was learned from a businessman-director of a state corporation, now in the hands of Aquino-Mar Roxas adherents.
“To us in the barangay level, we are impressed by President Aquino’s campaign to curb corruption and eliminate red tape,” Mamac reported. On the larger scale the President’s reform agenda saw discernible improvement in the national savings rate, the ability to manage inflation and increase the nation’s credit ratings by global financial institutions, he added.
He believes that the “liberal democracy” orientation will reinforce and give life to the “matuwid na daan” principle and vision of Aquino.
Mamac said even if he may not run for higher office in the 2013 polls, he would spearhead the movement of local LP forces to help confront underhanded tactics by local detractors of the President.
*****
He said City Mayor Pamintuan and himself have no quarrel, nor intend to wage war against the city executive.
“I know his position and he knows mine. My beef is with the City Council which could not reasonably resolve or justify an ordinance regulating barangay clearance fees.
On the move concerning his barangay clearance fees, he said the Council has failed to accurately verify and properly validate alleged complaints and petitions received by the City Council and are, therefore, undocumented or classified as mere hearsay.
On the Ordinance creating a local motorized tricycle franchising regulatory board, he asked: Is this in consonance with the DOTC guidelines, specially its implementing sections? This issue covers transgression on the parameters of governmental powers and constitutional guarantees, he said.
*****
In allegorical reference to a saying in the old world that all roads led to Rome, this Friday, March 23, all roads will lead to Barangay Cabalantian, Bacolor, where Pampanga’s Grand Dame, Lolita O. Hizon is celebrating her birthday. Her guest list is a “who’s who” in Pampanga.
Doña Lolita is the celebrated activist-business leader who was credited in helping bring Fr. Eddie Panlilio to the Capitol. Soon, heeding public outcry on the priest-governor’s governance style and performance, Mrs. Hizon steered up a storm to remove Gov. Panlilio by recall. “I committed a grave mistake and had to correct it,” she explained. The rest is history.
In Panlilio’s place is Gov. Lilia “Nanay Baby” who is No. 2 in my list of “Twelve Most Influential Women in Pampanga.” PGMA is the first placer.
Doña Lolita ranks next, not only by virtue of her wealth but by the strength of her persuasion and commitment to the ideals of her favorite saint, John the Baptist. She has a legion of adherents especially in her crusade against fraud and deceit. On this occasion of her diamond natal anniversary, Mabuhay Dona Lolita! May you continue to serve God and your beloved province.
The other celebrities include the brave-heart Sis. Josefina Nepomuceno (Sister Jonep) O.S.B., Ms. Sonio Soto, former underground patriot now political adviser, Telecom executive, and broadcaster; Mrs. Asuncion “Siony” Timbol, famous wife of a Bar topnotcher, and close confidante of Atty. Estelito and Mrs. Rose Mendoza; Ma. Theresa Laus, icon in food franchise management who can any time deliver/disseminate mass information to thousands of TV-radio audience and newspaper readers; Party List Rep. Lina Bagasina, the Kapampangan Cinderella Girl who can move events and people in a fairytale setting; Dr. Arlyn S. Villanueva, Holy Angel University President who can influence some 15,000 minds and souls in a single event; Mrs. Herminia G. Pamintuan said to be the power lady behind the throne at the Angeles City Hall; Mrs. Myrna Bituin, export industry leader, and Anna York Bondoc Sagum, now anticipating her first child with spouse doctor-ex-mayor Sagum of San Luis She remains undefeated as congresswoman of the 4th district. Her leaders are confident Dr. Anna can deliver her child without much labor. “She can deliver her Congressional seat to her brother Rimpy even if the birds of Candaba will be registered as flying voters,” said a contractor from Sto. Tomas, now Mabalacat resident.

Court issues TRO vs new BIR regulation

ANGELES CITY – The Regional Trial Court (RTC) here has issued a 20-day temporary restraining order (TRO) against the implementation of a Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) regulation.
The subject of the said regulation is on the tax administration treatment of petroleum and petroleum products imported into the Philippines, including those coming in through Freeport zones and economic zones and registration of all storage tanks, facilities, depots and terminals.
Branch 58 Presiding Judge Philbert Iturralde issued the TRO after finding merit in the petition for prohibition/injunction filed by 1st District Representative Carmelo Lazatin against Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima and BIR Commissioner Kim Jacinto-Henares.
“Respondents (Purisima and Henares) and any of its representatives and/or instrumentalities are hereby enjoined and directed to cease and desist from implementing/enforcing the assailed Revenue Regulation No. 2-2012 for 20 days,” Iturralde said in his decision dated March 16, 2012.
Iturralde also set the hearing for a writ of preliminary injunction on March 21, 2012 for presentation of petitioner’s evidence and on March 29 for respondents’ evidence.
Lazatin has asked the court to resolve the issue involving Revenue Regulation No. 2-2012, which the lawmaker believes contradicts Republic Act 7277, the law that created Subic and Clark Freeport Zones.
Earlier, Lazatin and Tarlac 3rd District Representative Jeci Lapus in a House Resolution have asked the House Committee on Ways and Means to scrutinize the new rules issued by the BIR.
“If Revenue Regulations 2-2012 would not be shelved, it is like authorizing the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to introduce amendments to Republic Act 7227, which is a clear violation of the 1987 Constitution,” Lazatin said.
The BIR issued the new regulation to combat alleged rampant oil smuggling and ensure that proper taxes are correctly collected from petroleum and other oil products imported into the Philippines, including those coming through Freeport Zones and Economic Zones.
The resolution pointed out that the latest regulation runs contrary to several provisions of RA 7227, especially Section 12 which states that: “the Subic Special Economic Zone shall be operated and managed as a separate customs territory ensuring free flow or movement of goods and capital within, into and exported out of the Subic Special Economic Zone, as well as provide incentives such as tax and duty-free importations of raw materials, capital and equipment”.
“Whereas, if Revenue Regulations 2-2012 is upheld, it will be a dangerous predecent as the BIR can impose taxes on other and all importations by Freeport and Economic Locators,” the resolution stated.
Aside from the collection of oil taxes and duties, Revenue Regulations No. 2-2012 mandates oil companies to apply for tax refunds once they show proof that the imported oil was consumed within the ecozone or exported.
The new regulation also requires oil firms to register all their oil storage facilities within Freeports and economic zones.
RA 7227 provides that in lieu of all taxes, a five percent tax on gross income shall be paid by all registered business enterprises within the Freeport Zone.
The law also states that if an importer is located inside the Freeport Zone, such importation shall not be subject to value-added tax and excise tax. In addition, if the same importer sells such petroleum products within the Freeport Zone, no tax shall be due.

Kapampangan food firm wins international award

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Mekeni Food Corporation, a Kapampangan firm specializing in meat processing, has been recently conferred an international award in Geneva, Switzerland for the year 2012.
Mekeni President Prudencio S. Garcia announced the good news in a letter last Monday to businessman Levy P. Laus, chairman of the Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
“We would like to share with you and our PamCham members the good news that once again Mekeni Food Corporation had scored another first in the Philippines’ food industry by being awarded the Century International Quality Era-Gold Award,” Garcia said.
With the award, Mekeni has joined the elite group of CQE awardees belonging to top corporations worldwide, mostly included in the list of Fortune 500, Fortune Global 500, recognized for their distinct achievements in the realm of quality culture, Garcia said.
As this developed, Laus has lauded Mekeni for receiving the international award, which he described as huge and rare feat for Mekeni considering the global standard in quality culture.
“As Kapampangans and as fellow businessmen, we at PamCham are equally proud and honored by the outstanding achievement that Mekeni has reaped internationally,” Laus said in a statement.
Laus said Mekeni serves as a model to all Kapampangan and Filipino businessmen in terms of product quality and corporate excellence.
The CQE award, according to Garcia, is carried out by Business Initiative Directions (BID), a private organization with networks worldwide whose primary activity is oriented towards sharing quality culture of leading companies worldwide.
The basis for selection and evaluation are the criteria of the principles of the QC 100 TQM, a quality model implemented in over 100 countries. The criteria include customer satisfaction, communication strategies, benchmarking, information and data analysis, leadership, planning and decision making, human resources, processes and production, financial outcome and business results, among others.
“The Gold Award is another testimony to Mekeni’s continuing achievement to the highest standards of food quality and safety,” Garcia said.
“The triumph of Mekeni is the triumph for the Philippines and our kabalen,” he said.

Kapampangan films take part in film festival

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Kapampangan films took part in this year’s 4th Cinema Rehiyon Film Festival in Negros Oriental, joining other films by independent filmmakers from different provinces of the country.
The event that ran from February 7 to 12 is an annual non-competition film festival. Cinema Rehiyon is a project of the Cinema Committee of the National Commission on Culture and the Arts (NCCA) during the National Arts Month.
Three Kapampangan films represented Pampanga this year. These include “Ing Babaing Mapamalit SIM” (The Switcher) by Kragi Garcia of Macabebe; “Sumangid” (Other Side) by Jason Paul Laxamana of Angeles City; and “Aliwa Mu Aku” (Not Alone) by first-time filmmaker Kirby Araullo of the City of San Fernando, now based in Davis, California.
The works of the filmmakers of the province are screened continuously for free in a public venue, such as Gaisano Mall in Davao City in last year’s edition, and Robinsons Bacolod this year. The screenings are followed by an open forum with the directors and, if present, actors.
Laxamana, who has been participating in Cinema Rehiyon since the first year it was held, expressed his envy with other provinces like Cebu, Davao, and Negros.
“During the first Cinema Rehiyon, only one Kapampangan short film represented Pampanga, even though there was really no Pampanga category then. ‘Ing Bangkeru’ (The Boatman) was placed in the category ‘Other Parts of Luzon.’ During the second year, five Kapampangan films were programmed in the festival,” Laxamana said.
Laxamana said Pampanga enjoyed a powerful presence through the two best pictures of the first Sinukwan Kapampangan Film Competition: “Balikbalen” (Homecoming) by Kragi Garcia and “Ing Magdarame” (The Penitent) by JV Trinidad.
“Pupul” (Harvest) by former Bb. Pilipinas candidate Nicolette Henson was also part of the festival, along with “Ding Musa ning Minalin” (The Muses of Minalin) by Diego Dobles and his own short film “Dusing” (Dirt).
Brillante Mendoza also graced the event to support the Kapampangan filmmakers.
The first Sinukwan Kapampangan Film Competition did not have a sequel. As a result, only one Kapampangan film, albeit a star-laden, full-length one, made it to the third Cinema Rehiyon held in Davao City. The film was “Astro Mayabang” (Astro the Proud) by Laxamana, which was a finalist in the 2010 Cinema One Originals Film Festival.
“Astro Mayabang” starred Arron Villaflor, Megan Young, John Lapus, Hermes Bautista, Marco Morales, and Crystal Herrera, and was shot mainly in Angeles City in the Kapampangan language.
Laxamana said next year’s Cinema Rehiyon will be held in Los Baños, Laguna.
“By then, hopefully there will be more Kapampangan films to represent Pampanga.
Laxamana, who happens to be the Luzon representative of the NCCA Cinema Committee, looks forward to Angeles City hosting a future edition of Cinema Rehiyon.

Guv to town execs: Help prevent another landslide tragedy

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Governor Lilia G. Pineda asked concerned barangay and municipal officials of Arayat town to undertake urgent precautionary measures and prevent another landslide tragedy.
The warning was issued after huge boulders were found at Mt. Arayat, which could endanger the lives and properties of the residents at the slope of the mountain.
This developed as Pineda met with Arayat Mayor Luis Espino and members of the Association of Barangay Captains (ABC) in the locality during the turn over ceremonies of tricycle units to each of the town’s 30 barangays as their service patrol vehicles.
The governor showed the local officials took some photos of the boulders found at Mt. Arayat and stressed the need to implement necessary measures and strategies as she fears the repeat of another landslide similar to what occurred at the height of Typhoon Ondoy in 2009.
She likewise invited 703rd Army Infantry Brigade Commander Col. Gregorio Catapang, Provincial Police Director Edgardo Tinio, Mayor Luis Espino and barangay officials concerned to join her in the actual inspection of the site and come up with an accurate assessment of the dangerous situation.
Pineda also took the opportunity to inspect the newly completed 57 housing units for the victims of the landslide tragedy in San Juan Bano, Arayat.
The National Government through the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is funding the construction of the housing project; while the governor committed to shoulder the cost of labor for their construction as counterpart of the provincial Government.
Last year, the Provincial Capitol spent P5 million for the construction of 64 bunkhouses and provided other necessary relief assistance and services to the landslide victims.
Pineda assured Espino and the other officials of Arayat that the Provincial Government will provide the necessary support and services to address the peace and order, health and environmental concerns including construction of roads, schools and provision of water supply.
She also enjoined the local officials to continue their support in the various programs of the Provincial Government and ensure the maintenance of peace and order and delivery of health services and implementation of solid waste management.
The barangay officials was thankful to the governor saying that the service patrol vehicles given them would facilitate their monitoring activities in their respective communities, especially those in far-flung areas. Barangay watchmen also received uniform t-shirts.

The growing array of hotel resort accommodation, recreation and entertainment facilities, places to unwind and relax, fine dining and family restaurants, bars and pubs makes it increasing easy for tourists and visitors from Manila to spend quality time in a place of leisure in Clark, Pampanga.

To many visitors from Manila, a place of leisure or a good hotel or resort in Pampanga must be located in a city that is safe, clean and not so noisy. Convenience and accessibility are important considerations in choosing a holiday destination in Philippines. Clark Freeport is probably the easiest tourist destination to reach from Manila. Clark also has its own international airport with dozens of daily flights connecting Clark directly with Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Bangkok, Malaysia and South Korea. Clark is home to some of the best golf courses in Pampanga. Although golf continues to be one of the reasons why visitors from Manila travel to Pampanga, residents of Angeles City, Subic and Bulacan travel to Clark not just to play golf in one of the best golf courses in Pampanga but also to relax and unwind in the best resort in Philippines.

Hotels, resorts, vacation rentals, fine dining and family restaurants, bars and pubs, entertainment, nightlife, place of leisure, sports and recreation facilities in Clark and Angeles Pampanga are showcased for the convenience of visitors planning a getaway from Manila or a weekend out of town to relax and unwind in a clean and safe city.

Spa is not the only way to unwind for people who are stressed out by Manila traffic and noise pollution.

Clearwater Resort & Country Club offers several styles of accommodation from US$65 up inclusive of breakfast for two at the beautiful Breakfast Garden Restaurant overlooking the large Clearwater lake and beach. This is a good rendition of the lifestyle that the Americans left behind after they left the Clark Airbase. A good short description of this lifestyle is suburban laid-back slow-paced clean living, very suitable for tourists and guests looking for a way to unwind from the stress of living in Manila.

In a city like Manila, most residents rely on visits to spa and beauty parlor to unwind and relax. But with a short getaway to Angeles City Clark Pampanga one can de-stress by enjoying beautiful outdoor amenities of this beach resort, savoring what nature can offer.

Finally, Mabalacat gets lawmakers’ nod to become a city

For many years since he first became mayor here in 1995, Marino Morales has been lobbying to upgrade this town’s status into a component city in pursuit of a dream.
To Morales, the only local politician who was able to serve as chief executive for 17 straight years, this town’s conversion into a component city is a long-time dream.
His efforts initially produced a glimmer of hope in March 2005 when the Department of Finance officially certified that Mabalacat, where most parts of the Clark Freeport is located, had met the annual average income of P100 million as one of the requirements to become a city.
The next step was for Morales and the municipal council to ask the provincial board to endorse this town’s cityhood bid to Congress. But some board members refused, citing the town’s failure to remit several millions of pesos in accumulated real property taxes over the years.
It took the board about three years to pass a resolution of endorsement to Congress.
Even the League of Cities of the Philippines, which had vigorously campaigned against the conversion of 16 towns in various parts of the country into component cities, did not object to Mabalacat’s bid.
Mayor Oscar Rodriguez of the City of San Fernando, Pampanga, LCP president, earlier said Mabalacat had surpassed the requirements to become a component city, which include a locally generated average income of P100 million yearly for the past two consecutive years, a contiguous territory of at least 100 square kilometers, and a population of not less than 150,000.
Only Tarlac officials are opposed to the conversion due to a pending boundary dispute between Mabalacat and Bamban town in Tarlac.
In September 2007, Pampanga Rep. Carmelo Lazatin introduced House Bill No. 2350 (Mabalacat Cityhood Bill) in the House of Representatives. The bill, however, did not become a law until the 14th Congress adjourned in 2010.
Under the 15th Congress, it was an entirely different story.
On February 7, the Senate passed on third and final reading HB 4736 that seeks to convert this town into a component city. It was an echo of the House action on June 6 last year when 241 representatives approved Lazatin’s measure.
HB 4736 was sponsored by Senators Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Miriam Defensor-Santiago in the Senate after considering Senator Manuel Lapid’s Senate Bill No. 2926, which also seeks to convert Mabalacat into a component city. Lapid served as governor of Pampanga before he was elected senator.
In his sponsorship speech, Marcos noted Mabalacat’s rise “to become one of the most progressive municipalities in Pampanga.”
Local officials expect the town’s current P500-million income, including Internal Revenue Allotment shares, to increase to around P800 million once it becomes a component city.
“After 300 years, Mabalacat will be a component city, complete with an international airport, a freeport zone and modern expressways,” Morales said.
Once the cityhood measure is signed by President Aquino, a plebiscite will be held within a month to allow Mabalacat residents to vote on it.
FAST FACTS:
MABALACAT
Land area: 83.18 sq km
Population: 203,307 (as of 2007 census)

Philippines wedding planners and wedding reception caterers recommend Clark Philippines as this year’s premier destination for beach weddings and garden receptions. Wedding couples in Philippines no longer prefer traditional indoor venues and hotel ballrooms for wedding receptions in Manila, Angeles City, Subic and Clark Freeport.

Selecting a good and safe event venue in Philippines is not that easy. Many public event venues in resort hotels in Philippines can’t deliver assurances of safety and security. This exposes corporate and private events to risks that are not acceptable to event organizers in Philippines.

This exclusive hotel in Angeles Philippines is a place of leisure that is. The resort has the perfect ambience for a romantic beach wedding and a garden style wedding reception, exactly the kind of wedding venue we have been looking for to get married in the Philippines. Angeles City is near Clark Philippines and just 90 minutes from Manila. Clark is home to some of the best golf courses in Pampanga. Although golf continues to be one of the reasons why visitors from Manila travel to Pampanga, residents of Angeles City, Subic and Bulacan travel to Clark not just to play golf in one of the best golf courses in Pampanga but also to relax and unwind in the best resort in Philippines.

Garden style wedding reception can take place within a few meters from the beach of this hotel in Clark Philippines so guests and observe the ceremony at the comfort of their seats on the table.
