DA: Slow documentation may jeopardize crop insurance in Central Luzon

Sunday, July 21, 2013

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The Department of Agriculture (DA) said that a P30 million fund has now been forwarded to the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC) for the coverage of 62,000 hectares of flood risk farmlands in Pampanga and Central Luzon (CL), but slow documentation on the part of municipal agriculturists may leave farmers in the countryside with no insurance coverage in rainy season.

DA Regional Director Andrew Villacorta told Sun.Star Pampanga that the fund is now ready and it is only a matter of municipal officials finalizing their respective master lists.

He added that they are calling on local officials to inform farmers in flood-risk areas of the program and expedite their respective lists to cover farmers in the program.

The crop insurance programs entails a premium on the part of the farmer of P500 per hectare which then translates to P3,000 if the farm is hit by floodwater and has damaged crops.

Farmers are also given an option to increase their enrollment coverage beyond the P500 premium to avail of bigger assistance.

The coverage would enable farmers, through their cooperatives or groups, to access the funds in disasters like floods that hit farmlands here yearly. The money may be used in buying new seeds or fertilizer and other farm inputs.

The DA said there are around 16,000 hectares and 13 hectares in Tarlac and Nueva Ecija identified as flood risk areas, with another 12,000 hectares in Pampanga. However, only 20 percent have been covered as of press time as DA still awaits other documentation requirements from different provinces for approval.

Villacorta said the move is part of DA’s initiative to achieve its production targets this season. He added that aside from the insurance coverage, DA has a buffer stock of 30,000 bags of certified seeds for seed subsidy for those that are not covered by the program or those that are not within the 62,000 hectares risk areas identified for coverage.

DA also called on local government officials to join in a counterpart program with DA in bringing more farmers into the insurance coverage and allocating at least P1,500 for farmers in the program to increase their enrollment premium or at least bring more farmers into the insurance coverage.

DA said it aims to achieve 3.6 million metric ton (mt) production of palay for this year. The Bureau of Agricultural Statistics, Villacorta said, has recorded 1.7-million mt production for the first semester of the year. He added that DA expects 1.9 million metric ton production this wet cropping season.

DA-3 has been topping DA’s production goals since last year reaching production goals and registering even substantial production beyond target goals.

There are numerous opportunities for investments between US$100,000 and $500,000.  These opportunities are especially attractive for semi-retirement lifestyles.  The best, easiest and safest way to go about with this kind of investments is to deal with an existing business – a locator as business in Clark is called – so the investor is spared of the hassle of dealing with red-tape and bureaucracy that is always present in third-world countries.  The existing locator has already cleared the path so to speak and even if it means asking for small premium for a partnership, it is very much worth the while of a new investor to take this route.  Business opportunities depend largely on the skills, interests and experiences of the investors but there is a strong demand for more establishments in these areas: entertainment, shops, office space, construction and engineering services, restaurants and bars, transportation and travel assistance.

 

Clark Freeport is one of the most attractive business propositions the Philippines has to offer for investors in many kinds of businesses from BPO, hospitality, resorts and leisure facilities to condos, retirement homes, restaurants, bars and shops.

The Business Cycle and Vision vis-a-vis The Family Cycle and Vision

Wednesday, July 24, 2013

THE operation of a business entity starts with the initial investment of cash by stockholders (the business owners), wherein a valuable resource (cash) is received by the business entity that in turn creates equity or an ownership claim (stockholders equity) of the business. The available initial cash from stockholders is then used to operate the business that in turn generates more cash that is either reinvested in the business or distributed to stockholders as dividends or profits. This is the business cycle in a gist.

The business cycle seems straightforward and simple; but operating the business to generate more cash is quite a complex process that requires right planning and execution across all levels of the business organization – from the high and mighty corporate board of directors, the top executive management, the middle management, and down to the supervisors and rank and file employees.

Before a company starts its business operations, it has to align all levels of the organization and lessen the complexities of business operations; and this is possible if a company has a vision of the future vivid picture of the company 10 or several more years, decades or generations from the time of incorporation. The vision of the future becomes the rallying point of all members of the corporate organization – their knowledge, skills, attitudes and values are harnessed, developed and focused in reaching the desired vision. A clear vision of the future for the company will indeed lessen the complexities in operating a business.

A clear vision of the future is what it takes to be successful for corporate or business organizations and even for individuals, associations or families; and that vision comes about when there is a need or a burning desire to do or achieve something – a purpose driven life or a life that was meant to discover the reason for our being.

In a way, a marriage relationship, created and made legal thru a marriage contract, is similar to a business organization. Couples, long before marriage, oftentimes set for themselves a vision of the future for both of them and their children. The matrimony makes legal the desire to create a future for couples just as an incorporation of a business makes legal its desire to achieve the company vision.

The operation of which I call a family entity, or the organization of the husband, wife and children, also starts with the initial investment of cash by the newly married couple whom I call family stakeholders. Similar to corporations, a valuable resource, which is cash, being part of the conjugal property is received by the family entity that in turn creates a semblance of equity or an ownership claim by the married couples to the family entity. The available initial cash from family stakeholders is then used to operate the family entity that in turn generates more cash, that is either reinvested in the operation of the entity for its further growth and attainment of the family vision, or distributed to the married couple (the principal family stakeholders), that may either form part of their retirement funds or shared to other family stakeholders (the children) to fund the childrenÕs own and personal vision of the future. This too is the family entity cycle in a gist.

I believe that the workings of a company or a business entity, organized by incorporators, and that of a family entity, that was formed by a couple, are quite similar; and I say that let us venture and uncover the similarities and follow the best practices of the most successful business entities and families. Right now, we know that both were created by law, both have visions shared across the organization, both use cash to grow more cash that is either reinvested in the operation of the entity or distributed to owners as dividends or profits, and to couples as either retirement fund or shared to other family stakeholders. From here, let us look into the operations of entities and copy and follow what works and discard what doesnÕt work.

Kumon, GEP: Maximizing a Child’s Potential

Friday, July 26, 2013

KUMON Philippines, recognizing that their associates and parents are their partners in the endless pursuit to maximize children’s potential, launched the Kumon Philippines’ Education and parenting Seminar (KPEPS), briefing of which was held at SM City Pampanga last July 13.

The first of two runs in the province, the next KPEPS seminar will be held in SM City Iloilo on August 3, Saturday, according to Kumon officials.

In Kumon Philippines’ effort to reach parents from the different parts of the country, they had decided to hold the seminar outside Metro Manila. KPEPS is usually being held in Makati, Pasay, Las Pifias, and just last year in Quezon City.

The Kumon Philippines’ Education and Parenting Seminar (KPEPS) series aims to educate and enlighten parents on the different topics that will aid in raising a responsible and happy child.

In this 6th year of KPEPS, Kumon Philippines has chosen to present Good Enough Parenting (GEP), because it shares a lot of views with GEP about parental role and responsibilities.

Good Enough Parenting

While no one’s parenting can ever be perfect, “Good Enough Parenting” can help show parents through a Movie Therapy, how to meet these core emotional needs, and provide parenting that is “good enough” to prevent “life traps” from developing in their children.

“In a world of too much information, “Good Enough Parenting” uses movies to teach parents how to meet core needs, and, at the same time, how to avoid passing down their own dysfunctional behaviors,” said Dr Jeffrey Young, of the Dept. of Psychiatry at the Columbia University, USA.

About Kumon

Kumon Philippines uses education as a vessel for nation-building, thus helping develop children into contributing members of community.

One of the main factors why Kumon students succeed in their Kumon journey is the involvement of parents. But even outside of Kumon, Kumon Philippines would like to empower the parents more in nurturing their children. Kumon seeks to partner with parents in the serious responsibility of raising their children.

Kumon, an after-school supplemental learning program, considers the individual needs of each student with academic advancement through self-learning as its main goal.

The Kumon Method makes use of worksheets that have been designed to enable the children to progress in small steps and study at the level most suitable for their academic ability.

The Kumon Math and Reading Programs equip each child with the necessary skills to reach his/her potential. Through the daily study of worksheets, the child acquires strong academic skills and solid foundations to prepare him/her for life.

Benefits

Kumon develops students’ self-learning ability. In the beginning, students study materials that they have already encountered. As they master these topics, they will gain the confidence and motivation to take on rfew challenges. By allowing them to study at their own pace and ‘just-right’ level, children can advance beyond their school grade level with minimal supervision and instruction. When students have the ability to self-learn, they will have the capacity to learn even advanced materials; thus improve their school grade and enjoy their school life to the fullest.

Aside from academic abilities that students develop through Kumon, they also acquire qualities such as independence, discipline, confidence, and good learning habits. This balanced combination of academic and life skills leads to improved grades in school.

Kumon, which is available in 47 countries and regions around the world, has over around 57,000 students in the Philippines where are more than 250 Kumon Centers. Kumon Philippines’ head office is in Makati, and with the addition of Kumon offices in Quezon City and Cebu, further expansion is expected.

Sponsors for the event include Faber Castell, Guard Insect Repellent, Universal Robina Corporation (URC), Nissin Pasta Express and Piattos Multigrain, while the event was managed by Alegre Events.

With new golf courses springing up in and around Clark Philippines and an ever-increasing patronage by tourists from neighboring South Korea, Clark Freeport is short on hotel accommodation.

 

Even with the addition of 27 holes in 2009 and 2010, there is an acute shortage golf tee times for at least 5-6 months each year.  Local players compete with frustrated (golf) tourists from Korea and China for tee times.  Unfortunately Clark Philippines doesn’t have the luxury of vast tracts of land suitable for this type of development.

 

Mimosa offers 36 holes of championship golf, visitors can pay and play, busy during the weekends but not that difficult to get on or join up with a group to form a 4-ball.   The new FAKCC offers 27 holes of world-class golf.

The Next Makati

Monday, July 29, 2013

OVER a year after the creation of Pampanga’s 3rd city, the best is yet to come to Mabalacat City which plays host to the ever growing Clark International Airport.

During the CSR activity of the Community Relations Department of Clark airport in Barangay Sapang Biabas, I had the chance to talk with Mayor Marino “Boking” Morales, the effervescent smile and good looks still visible. Morales told me that the city government will pursue development projects such as the multi-level public market that will be funded by the SM Group of business tycoon Henry Sy. “Ginagawa po natin ang lahat para mapabuti ang kalagayan ng ating mga nagtitinda sa public market at para na rin sa ating mamimili.”

Morales said the City Government and SM management had already been exploring avenues on the establishment of the new multi-level Mabalacat Public Market that will replace the old one along the MacArthur Highway. The first floor of the new Mabalacat Public Market will be devoted to the stall owners at the old public market.

A ‘Triple A’ slaughterhouse approved by the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) will also rise in the city. The chief executive said that more infrastructure projects had been realized under the city government, notable among them are the community high schools and a community college where hundreds of students are able to get quality and affordable education.

Morales said Mabalacat City will become the “next Makati north of Manila”, foreseeing the development of areas in Barangays Tabun and Dolores into a ‘central business district.’ The Clark Freeport Zone can actually extend the Freeport zone to include the northern part of Mabalacat where a wide swath of land is available for development. The area had been ravaged by the dreaded lahar flows in the past but slowly reemerging from the destruction wrought by the eruptions of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991.

Mabalacat City is a part of the Clark aerotropolis, an airport-driven development that is seen to generate economic activities in other areas encompassing the Clark airport.

The city plays host to the Clark airport and the Clark Freeport Zone. The modern Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway also cuts through the heart of Mabalacat City linking it to the deep-sea port of Subic Freeport Zone. “We have the international airport at Clark and we have the deep-sea port of Subic. Both will play a big role in the development of Mabalacat City,” said Morales, the only politician in Pampanga who graduated in the prestigious Asian Institute of Management.

The long-hackneyed “city of peace, progress and prosperity” has come full circle. Mabalacat has gone a long way and more developments will come.

Ocampo: Cash Management

Tuesday, July 30, 2013

CASH is the beginning and end of the Business Cycle. Assets of a business came from cash (excluding donated assets); and these assets are financial items waiting to be expensed to earn a revenue and profit. For example, cash is converted as a manufacturing machinery to increase production and sales volume and grow profits.

As such, cash, being one of the most valuable resources of business entities, including Local Government Units (LGUs), has to be managed and optimized for a cost- efficient and cost-effective business operation so that more revenues will be generated and more profits earned. This realm in business is called “Cash Management”.

The Cash Management Cycle begins with the receipt of cash which is then secured in the business vault until it is deposited in the bank and disbursed to fund the business’s operation or distributed as profits to business owners.

Cash is received from the following sources:

* Investments of stockholders

* Sale of the business’ products

* Services rendered

* Sale of fixed assets that are no longer used in operations

* Sale of inventories, other than finished goods inventory, that are no longer used in operations

* Interest and dividend income received from investing activities of the business

* Rental and other passive income

* Donations and grants

Cash coming from various sources is received by the business through its employees; while some are directly credited in the business’ bank accounts. Cash is received either from a customer, client, buyer, lessee or donor by the business’ collector or salesman that is then remitted to the business cashier for safekeeping until it is deposited in the bank. This process is part of the “Sales Settlement and Cash Deposit System”. Cash handling has a lot of risks involved. Hence, policies, procedures or processes have to be in place to ensure that cash is safeguarded and ultimately deposited in the bank.

In a Family set-up, cash is also the beginning and end of a Family’s Financial Cycle. Family assets come from cash with some assets coming from relatives and friends as gifts. Assets are financial items waiting to be expensed to earn a revenue and profit; but in a family set-up, cash is converted to assets mostly for the purpose of family enjoyment and personal use, and a small amount, if any, is used to grow the family coffer.

For example, cash is often used to buy the best TV brand, the latest mobile phone and other electronic gadgets that are usually for personal use and become outdated in a few years. The most significant use of the family cash is the purchase or construction of a family house especially in a high-end subdivision. A family house is not an investment as it does not earn; rather, it is a liability because it incurs expenses.

The sources of cash by families not engaged in a business usually come from the following:

Salary as a white-collar or blue-collar worker of a registered business

Income, salary, commission and/or service fee earned in an underground economy or sometimes called informal or unreported economy, such as fee or salary received by skilled and unskilled workers and sale of products or items by street vendors that are not reported to the BIR.

Cash handling risks are not significant as cash is directly received by the family. The evidence of cash earned is the Pay slip. A small amount of cash, if any, is left and deposited in the bank because the cash received is spent immediately for family needs (and wants). The problem in most Family’s Financial System especially those in the lower middle and lower class may be due to insufficient revenue and improper spending. The best practice of a business of optimizing the use of cash to grow revenues is worth adopting.

GRBank launches financial literacy campaign

Tuesday, July 30, 2013

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — GRBank continues to intensify its campaign to raise awareness to the public on proper handling of money and its benefits, partnering with Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to conduct a Financial Literacy Campaign entitled “Asensadong Buhay Bunga ng Wastong Paghawak ng Pera.”

The BSP conducted a forum on the security features of the new generation currency banknotes with GRBank’s own president Jose Blas L. Carlos, Jr. conducting the 2nd Financial Success Campaign where he shared some tips on how to properly handle money and become successful in life.

GRBank, in partnership with BSP, has conducted an orientation to invited GRBank clients recently at BSP building in Barangay Sindalan. The seminar discussed the importance of knowing the distinct security features of the new BSP banknotes and has further emphasized the importance of public awareness on the special characteristics, designs and security features of the new banknotes in order to avoid circulation of counterfeit money.

Along with this, the tips shared by Carlos have been very informative and helpful for the practical steps in achieving a successful life.

The campaign of GRBank to raise awareness on the importance of proper handling of money is extended not only to its clients but is further intensified by the bank’s efforts to continually visit schools and create more events where institutions like the BSP will have their share of promoting such goals as well.

GRBank’s goal to further emphasize the fact that the proper handling of money is the key to a successful life has only started and will continue to be persistent in reaching the public.

Kabalens hope Aquino takes up Clark issues on SONA

STA. RITA — Kapampangans and local businessmen have a list of topics they wish to hear from President Benigno Aquino III in his fourth State of the Nation Address (Sona), especially concerns ranging from the Clark Airport, agriculture, support for small and medium enterprises and even the proposed scrapping of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel of lawmakers.

Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PamCham) Vice Chairman Rene Romero told Sun.Star Pampanga that businessmen here are still advocating for the twin airport system that would make Clark Airport as a support airport for the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

Romero said they are hoping that Aquino would make definite pronouncements on the role of the Clark Airport, even as he added that local businessmen are also hoping for a better support system on the part of local business sector, and micro, small and medium enterprises throughout the region.

“We are also calling for the President’s support for the amendments to Republic Act 9178, or the ‘Barangay Micro Business Enterprises Act of 2002’ and the start of better incentive system for local businesses that are similar to those of foreign direct investors,” Romero said.

Romero also said businessmen here are wondering over the plans of Aquino on how he would be able to implement programs that will sustain the country’s fiscal growth and achievements in the last quarters.

“It is important that the fiscal gains are maintained so that the full benefit of these would be felt by those in the margins of society,” Romero said.

Meanwhile, ordinary Kapampangans said that they hope to hear Aquino discuss his programs for the agriculture sector and the status of his food security initiatives.

Joselito Mangiliman, a farmer, said they hope to hear more concrete programs in minimizing the cost for shipping and transporting farm produce to markets and urban centers. He added that while farm-to-market roads are in place, it is still expensive to transport farm produce which forces farmers to patronize opportunistic middlemen in the transfer of their farm produce to markets.

Mangiliman and Romero are also one in calling on Aquino to scrap the pork barrel funds to lawmakers. Romero said pork funds are mostly used by some unscrupulous politicians in advancing their political careers ‘through corruption.’

Aquino will deliver his Sona at the opening session of Congress at the Batasang Pambansa Complex.

DPWH urged to fast-track anti-flood infra

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Pampanga Provincial Board unanimously approved over the weekend a resolution asking the agency to fast-track the completion of flood mitigation projects in the province.

This even as the Provincial Board commended the Department of Public Works and Highways for a “job well done” on the San Fernando-Sto. Tomas-Minalin Tail Dike.

Fourth District Board Member and committee on environment and natural resources chairman Nestor “Bay” Tolentino, in a privilege speech during the Provincial Board’s regular session on Friday, emphasized that “fear and anxiety remains” among inhabitants in areas where the uncompleted infrastructures are, especially the rainy season is on.

“There are still flood control infrastructures that must be attended to, for which the Provincial Government under the able leadership of Gov. Lilia Pineda will give all-out support to fast track the completion of these projects and allay the fear and anxiety of our constituents,” he said.

Tolentino identified the projects as the widening from 20 meters to 60 meters of the pilot relief channel from Gugu Creek to Labuan channel including its confluence with San Francisco River in Minalin estimated to cost P70 million; the acquisition of a road right of way and spoil sites for dredged materials costing P4 million; and the heightening, strengthening and armoring of depressed sections of the tail dike, including the outfall at Magliman Creek worth P54 million.

He also pointed out the P1-million repair and maintenance of the Labuan Bailey Bridge and the construction of a retaining wall and improvement of the Gugu Dike where some P10 million has been allocated. He similarly noted of the heavily damaged setback levee in Arayat and the eroded portion of the Arnedo Dike along Eastern Pampanga.

“These are also two critical areas of concern that demand immediate attention. I believe it is expected of us to free our people from such danger,” stressed Tolentino.

He told Sun.Star Pampanga that the P139 million allocated for the projects had already been released about two months ago by the Department of Management.

“Our colleague Board Member Ric Yabut has informed us that the projects are now up for bidding, but our resolution approved as a whole is primarily meant to ask them to expedite and facilitate the implementation of the vital projects. We want to ensure public safety that will free our kabalens from any imminent danger resulting from flood waters. We would not want another Habagat or disaster this time,” concluded Tolentino.

PNoy kin: Luisita raffle timed for SONA

CLARK FREEPORT — President Benigno Aquino III’s uncle and Former Tarlac Congressman, Jose “Peping” Cojuangco, Jr., on Friday said the raffling off of nearly 5,000 hectares of Hacienda Luisita land was rushed before the president will deliver his fourth State-of-the-Nation Address today, Monday.

“The Sona has become the reason for the land distribution, not the improvement of the lives of the Hacienda farm workers and their beneficiaries,” Cojuangco told that media during a breakfast forum with members of the Capampangan in Media Inc. (Cami) in Clark.

Cami is a group of Kapampangan veteran editors and journalists from Manila and Pampanga who hold the forum every Friday at the Bale Balita in Clark.

Cojuangco, elder brother of the former President Corazon C. Aquino, said it (raffle) was political in nature because of the timing of the decision.

He also said that they will insist the government will pay the Cojuangcos for expropriating the estate with a just price.

“It (the government) cannot pay us at acquisition price because that is absurd and it’s unfair,” he said.

Over and above the politics and financial factors involving the issue, Cojuangco also expressed worries about the future of some 6,200 workers of the hacienda who started receiving their shares of land in a raffle conducted by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) last Thursday in Barangay Cutcut in the vast sugar estate.

“How can they survive on one-sixteenth of a hectare of land that they will receive?” Cojuangco asked.

The land distribution, he said, will not benefit the people in the long term.

Cojuangco said the land distribution will only break up land into uneconomic parcels that, along with the varying characteristics of the land itself, may not be as productive and profitable for the beneficiaries.

“Some of it is clay, some sandy and some either get flooded or get no irrigation while some is fertile or barren and nobody knows which one a worker will receive,” he said.

Cojuango warned that these situations could lead to hunger and, eventually, to social unrest and unstable distribution of the land’s wealth and its eventual produce.

He said about 96 percent of the Luisita workers favored the stock option over land distribution but were pressured by militant groups into accepting the latter scheme.

Cojuangco said they decided to offer the workers the stock option upon the request of his late father, Jose Sr., to take care of the welfare of the farmers of Hacienda Luisita.

“Hacienda Luisita workers were better off then because they were given free benefits and hospitalization apart from being the highest paid farm workers compared to their counterparts outside the estate,” he said.

DOST launches dengue alert website

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO–The Department of Science and Technology 3 (DOST-3) has formally launched the Dengue Vector Surveillance website for monitoring of weekly reports on dengue.

Designated school coordinators, who used to do their weekly reports manually by tediously filling up forms, can just text their reports which are then automatically encoded to the website.

This development is expected to help curb dengue cases even more as it will make it easier to monitor possible dengue sites and recommend interventions to local government units.

Each school will register to the website by indicating its own unique school ID to be able to submit updated data.
Belen Q. Garcia, DOST-3 Assistant Regional Director for finance and administrative services and regional focal person for the project, said the agency is hopeful that, with the new system, weekly reports will now be regularly sent by the schools so that a more updated situationer is available at any given time which may help local government units and other concerned sectors implement measures to pre-empt a full blown dengue outbreak in their localities.

The site carries information not only on mosquito population nationwide but dengue incidence and other mosquito-related facts as well.

Vector refers to an organism, in this case the Aedes aegypti mosquito, that carries the disease-causing dengue virus from one host to another.

Developed by DOST-Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD), the dengue alert website features a map with red and white balloons. Red balloons indicate “alert” which means that the population density of dengue-carrying mosquitoes in a certain area is too high which means interventions are needed to be put in place promptly.

Meanwhile, white balloons-dotted areas mean that the population of the dengue-carrying mosquito is too sparse, or none at all, to cause any dengue incident.

In June last year, the DOST distributed mosquito ovicidal/larvicidal trap (O/L trap) in 3,350 schools in the region to control the population of dengue-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.

A designated school coordinator back then submitted monitoring reports to the DOST via email. But schools without internet connection had difficulty with the set-up, prompting DOST to launch text monitoring.

DOST developed the monitoring map project in collaboration with the Department of Education, Department of Health, and Department of Interior and Local Government and LGUs. The public can access the site at http://oltrap.pchrd.dost.gov.ph.

The launching of the site was attended by the schools division superintendents of DepEd in Central Luzon.
