CLARK FREEPORT—It was how he would have wanted it.
New Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II channeled his predecessor, the late Jesse Robredo, last week as he handed out to local governments in Central Luzon awards that were decided upon before Robredo was killed in a plane crash in August.
“The assessment of, grading and decision to give recognition to these top performing local governments were made during [the watch of] Secretary Jesse,” Roxas told reporters on Wednesday.
For excellence in the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS), Roxas conferred awards in administrative governance on Cabanatuan City, San Felipe town in Zambales and Angeles City; for social governance on Cabanatuan City, Tarlac province, Camiling town in Tarlac and Angeles City; and for economic governance on Dipaculao in Aurora, Bulacan province and Palayan City.
The environmental governance citation went to Tarlac province, San Clemente town in Tarlac and Dipaculao in Aurora; and the valuing fundamentals of good governance award to Tarlac province, Angeles City and City of San Fernando.
Angeles City and Candaba in Pampanga received special recognition for getting high marks in the LGPMS categories since 2009.
Robredo involved civil society groups in validating the LGPMS, an online self-assessment tool that enables provincial, city and town governments to determine their capabilities and limitations in the delivery of basic services, a Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) report said.
Roxas also awarded the Seal of Good Housekeeping (SGH) to the provincial governments of Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales, and the highly urbanized cities of Angeles and Olongapo.
The SGH is given to local governments that have excelled in planning, budgeting, revenue mobilization, financial management and budget execution, procurement and resource mobilization, said Florida Dijan, DILG regional director.
As of Oct. 25, Dijan said the seven provinces as well as 13 cities and 117 towns in Central Luzon had obtained the SGH.
Conceptualized and implemented during Robredo’s term, the SGH is also an incentive through which local governments can avail themselves of the Performance Challenge Fund (PCF).
The DILG, on its website, said the PCF was an “incentive fund to eligible local governments in the form of counterpart funding for local development projects in the Annual Investment Program and funded by the 20-percent Local Development Fund.”
Roxas said the standards for qualifying for the awards would be “upgraded to raise the [performance] targets of local governments.”
Robredo also introduced the full disclosure policy for transparency and accountability in local governance. It is a requirement in the SGH.
DILG reports said 856 local governments had qualified for the SGH, getting a total of P1.1 billion for the PCF.
The Seal of Disaster Preparedness, which Robredo also started, showed 8,504 local governments with functional disaster management councils and 1,539 of these with command centers and alarm systems.Tonette Orejas, Inquirer

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — For almost a week, they again came jumping, leaping, singing and dancing into the limelight — that is, both frogs and humans — as the City of San Fernando celebrated the 10th “Pyestang Tugak” or Frog Festival which culminated with a grand show of Fernandino talent Saturday at Robinsons Starmills.
Themed “Pamakibage, Pamanantabe, Pamia-abe,” this year’s festival, as Mayor Oscar Rodriguez aptly put it, “reminds us of the humble beginnings from where we came and the heights that we have scaled toward a better life through giant strides, much like those vigorous leaps that frogs are capable of making. Lowly regarded yet admirable for their resiliency and flexibility are these creatures we fete with such festivities like the street dance competition, choral and frog mascot contests, the ‘padwasan and sukluban’ and frog leaping and race.”
With the frog becoming a symbol of the city’s resiliency, flexibility and leaping to greater bounds since the festival’s inception in 2003, Rodriguez stressed: “Let us also keep in mind the need to save the frogs from extinction by exercising proper care of the environment. There is an on-going campaign by the city government for practices to sustain frogs and the environment as a whole. May the Frog Festival continue to be fruitful and worthwhile as we all take a higher leap in keeping the city the best place to live in.”
Heeding Rodriguez’s call, hundreds took on the frog stance to make the festival successful. Twelve barangays trooped to the St. Jude Village Oval frog farm Wednesday for the “padwasan” where both professional and kiddie frog catchers, using the native bamboo “padwas” or rod, competed for the prize catch of P4,000.
It was eventually won by Barangay Alasas and students from San Isidro Elementary School in the kids’ division.
“Out-croaking” the competition, the San Lorenzo Ruiz Center for Schools and Studies bested five other chorales in the Frog Choral Competition Thursday for the P10,000 grand prize, followed closely by a very young choir from Juliana Elementary School in second place.
The culminating activity proved to be tough as street dancers leaped-frogged their way to the top Saturday at the Atrium of Robinsons, with Baliti Integrated School topping the elementary school level in the free dance interpretation and bagging the best costume and headdress awards.
The City College triumphed in the college division with their moves and headdresses, while San Nicolas Integrated High School was awarded as best in costume.
This year, San Nicolas Integrated School stole the crown from defending champion San Lorenzo Ruiz Center for Schools and Studies in the Frog Mascot contest, while Juliana Elementary School was named champion in the elementary school level.
“We hope that next year will be a bigger Frog Festival with many more professing to participate in the annual festivity. And we thank all who have supported us in this festival which you can only find here in San Fernando. Only in Pampanga, where leaping is more fun in the Philippines,” said City Administrator Ferdinand Caylao.

MANILA — Giant oil firm Petron Corp. has announced significant price rollbacks ahead of the observance of All Saints Day and All Souls Day next week, traditionally marked by high fuel consumption due to the transit of people to and from the provinces.
In its text advisory Saturday afternoon, Petron Corp. said it would cut prices of premium and unleaded gasoline by P2.15 per liter, regular gasoline by P1.70 per liter and diesel and kerosene by P1.35 per liter.
Petron’s rollback would take effect at 12:01 a.m. Monday, Oct 29.
“This reflects the movements in the international oil market,” the oil firm said in its text advisory.
Early Saturday morning, independent oil player Flying V Philippines jumped the gun on its rival companies by implementing a smaller—yet still sizable—price drop Saturday.
At 12:01 a.m. Saturday, Flying V reduced its prices of unleaded and premium gasoline by P1.50 per liter and diesel by P1 per liter.
Other oil firms have yet to announce a price adjustment as of press time, although they are expected to follow.
Dept. of Energy Undersecretary Jose Layug Jr. himself noted that the international market price of petroleum products plunged during last week’s trading, particularly from October 22 to 25.
During that span, international prices of gasoline and diesel dropped by an equivalent P2.30 per liter and P1.40 per liter, respectively.
The majority of oil firms are actually coming off a wave of price cuts, which they implemented only last Tuesday.
The previous rollback amounted to P0.90 per liter on unleaded and premium, P0.40 per liter on regular, P0.35 per liter on diesel and P0.25 per liter on kerosene.
As of yesterday, the average price of fuel products in Metro Manila stood at the following levels: premium (including unleaded), P55 per liter; diesel, P43 per liter and kerosene, P54 per liter.
Layug dispelled assertions that oil companies are always looking to jack up prices in the days leading to All Saints Day and All Souls Day in order to maximize their profit.
“What we have monitored the past couple of years is that there is a decrease on pump before (Undas),” he said.

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) may bid goodbye to its goal of enlisting one million overseas Filipino voters by the end of October.
Based on their latest tally, Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes said they have registered more than 900,000 already but is still far from target.
But Brillantes said they are already comfortable with what they have achieved.
“The OAV (overseas absentee voting) has now reached 915,000 from the original of about half a million (in 2010). We practically doubled our registration,” he said.
Sticking to the October 31 deadline, Brillantes said they have even declined the request for a month-long extension of OAV registration from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
Brillantes said the decision was made by the en banc, with only him and Commissioner Lucenito Tagle favoring the request.
The Comelec started OAV registration in various Philippine foreign posts last October 31, 2011.

For Nokia, it comes down to this: Is Microsoft’s new phone software going to get it back in the smartphone race, or is it going to be too late?
After being the top seller of cellphones in the world for 14 years, Nokia failed to meet the challenge when Apple in 2007 introduced the dazzling iPhone that caught the imagination of design-conscious customers and rattled mobile markets.
The Finnish company hit a downward spiral that has led to shrinking sales and market share, plant closures, thousands of layoffs and downgrades by credit agencies to junk status.
On Friday, research firm IDC said that in the July-to-September period, Nokia slid for the first time off the list of the top five smartphone makers in the world. It’s still the second-largest maker of phones overall, but sales of non-smartphones are shrinking across the industry, and there’s little profit there.
The ailing company’s CEO, Stephen Elop, sees Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 8 software as a chance to reverse that trend, describing it as a catalyst for the new models.
On Monday, Microsoft Corp. is hosting a big launch event for the software at an arena in San Francisco. The first phones from Nokia, Samsung and HTC are expected to hit store shelves next month.
The launch of Windows Phone 8 follows on the heels of Windows 8 for PCs and tablets, which Microsoft released Friday. That operating system has borrowed its look from Windows Phone, meaning Microsoft now has a unified look across PCs and phones — at least if people take to Windows 8. The company has also made it easy for developers to create software that runs on both platforms with minor modifications.
Analysts are calling this a make-or-break moment for Nokia.
“Nokia is placing a huge bet on Microsoft and if the gamble doesn’t pay off, the losses can be high,” said Neil Mawston from Strategy Analytics, near London. “It’s putting all its eggs in one basket and that’s quite a high-risk strategy.”
In February last year, Nokia announced it was teaming up with Microsoft to replace its old Symbian and next-generation MeeGo software platforms with Windows. This move was made in the hope that it would rejuvenate the company and claw back lost ground.
Eight months later, they produced the first Nokia Windows Phone. Consumers didn’t warm to it, and it soon became clear that these phones, based on Windows Phone 7, were going to become obsolete. They can’t be upgraded to Windows Phone 8. Lumia sales slumped to 2.9 million units in the third quarter after reaching 4 million in the previous three months.
“Retailers withdrew marketing and promotion because no one wants to sell customers a device that ages in a few months,” says Michael Schroeder, analyst at FIM Bank Ltd. in Helsinki.
“Had there been a seamless transfer to Windows 8 from the old (Lumia) devices, sales figures would have been much higher last quarter.”
Mawston gives Nokia until April to prove it’s still in the race.
“If Nokia does not have more than 5 percent of the global smartphone market by the end of the first quarter 2013, alarm bells will be ringing,” Mawston said.
Analysts estimate Nokia’s current global smartphone market share to be some 4 percent — down from 14 percent a year ago. Meanwhile, uncertainty clouds its new venture with Microsoft.
“We’re a bit in the dark here,” Schroeder said. “Right now we can’t really say anything about Nokia’s future. Everything depends on how the new devices are received in the market.”
Nokia says its Lumia 920 and 820 phones are just the beginning of a new range of Windows Phone 8 devices, but early evaluations suggest they lack the “wow” effect necessary to make a dent in the smartphone market.
Also, Windows Phone 8 lags behind in the number of third-party applications available. There are some 100,000 available. Google’s and Apple’s stores have six or seven times as many.
“It’s a perception thing really,” Mawston of Strategy Analytics said. “Like in supermarket wars, if you have a store with lots of shelves with lots of apps, then consumers will choose you over a smaller store that has a smaller offering — even if you can’t use all those apps.”
Analysts expect 700 million smartphones to be sold worldwide this year. While network operators and retailers may welcome a third software system to challenge the dominance of Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android, it is the consumer who will ultimately decide Nokia’s and Windows Phone 8’s fate.
Beside the smartphone challenge, Nokia is feeling the pinch in the lower end with manufacturers in China and in Asia producing cut-rate non-smartphones — Nokia’s former domain. Earlier this year, Samsung overtook it as the world’s No. 1 mobile phone vendor, ending Nokia’s reign that peaked in 2008 with a 40 percent market share.
“Dumb” phones continue to be the backbone of Nokia operations, including in India where it’s a top seller. With strong and extensive distribution networks and a brand well-known in emerging markets, all might not be lost for the company that grew from making paper and rubber boots to being the biggest manufacturer of cellphones.
Mawston says that in theory, Nokia and Microsoft have a good chance of success as they offer an across-the-board system that stretches across home computers, mobiles, laptops, tablets as well as in the office, backed by Nokia’s strong distribution and hardware and Microsoft’s multi-platform software.
“If they can exploit that underlying market platform … and tie it all together in a good hardware portfolio, then potentially Microsoft and Nokia could be a very, very strong partnership — a bit like bringing together Batman and Robin,” Mawston said. “But, in practice, whether they can execute on that reality still is a great unknown and remains to be seen.” (AP)

Monday, October 29, 2012
MANILA (Updated 10:20 a.m.) — Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has decided not to enter any plea on plunder charges in connection with the alleged misuse of funds of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).
Before a packed courtroom of Sandiganbayan’s first division, Arroyo lawyer Anacleto Diaz said Monday they will wait for the decision of the Supreme Court regarding their request to further stop the hearings of the case due to lack of merit.
As a result, the Court entered a not guilty plea on behalf of Arroyo while the preliminary conference has been set on December 3, 2012 and pre-trial on February 14, 2013.
“Under the rules, a no plea is equivalent to entering a not guilty plea. We did not expect that,” lead prosecutor Diosdado Calonge told reporters.
Arroyo, who arrived an hour before the 8:30 a.m.arraignment, was accompanied by her family led by husband Jose Miguel Arroyo and children Ang Galing party-list Representative Juan Miguel Arroyo, Camarines Sur Representative Dato Arroyo and Luli Arroyo.
Showing their support for Arroyo as well were members of the Karapatan Youth Movement, who lined up outside the court’s premises.
After the arraignment, a white shuttle brought Arroyo back to her detention suite at the Veteran’s Memorial Medical Center (VMMC), less than 30 minutes away from the Sandiganbayan in Quezon City.
Security was tight inside and outside the anti-graft court as bomb disposal units of the Philippine National Police (PNP) were stationed while some policemen were tasked to secure the route between the VMMC and the court.
Arroyo’s close-in security meanwhile was provided by the PNP Police Security and Protection Group.
The Pampanga lawmaker has since denied the charge that she benefitted from the misuse of some P366 million worth of PCSO intelligence funds from 2008 leading to the presidential elections in 2010.
In her petition for temporary restraining order (TRO) SC last week, Arroyo said the Office of the Ombudsman, which filed the case, failed to establish that she received a single centavo of the encashed checks.
Her lawyers said Arroyo’s involvement was only limited to the approval of the funds, which was intended for tracking down people or organizations behind illegal gambling games (jueteng) under the guise of small town lottery and sweepstakes scams.
Arroyo should have entered her plea last October 15 but it was reset to Monday after she was found suffering from coronary ischemia.

MANILA — With the All Saints and Souls’ out of town exodus peaking, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Monday urged all seagoing travelers to be on the port and terminal of their embarkation three hours before their scheduled departure to avoid any confusion or being left behind by their ship.
Lieutenant Commander Armand Balilo, PCG spokesperson, said the three-hour margin will ensure that the travelers will have ample time for traffic, having their baggage checked by security personnel, and buying food and drinks for the trip ahead.
He also urged ship passengers to refrain from carrying unlicensed firearms, narcotics, bladed weapons, explosives or pyrotechnic devices and gasoline or liquified petroleum gasoline (LPG) cookers as they could be arrested for bringing these.
Rear Admiral Luis Tuason Jr., PCG vice commandant for operations, earlier said all Coast Guard units in port and ferry terminals are now placed in a high-state of alert as part of the efforts to ensure that the annual holidays will be incident-free.
“There is a recent mandate to all Coast Guard Personnel nationwide to be on heightened alert for security purposes upon the Department of Transportation and Communication Secretary Joseph Abaya’s instruction and prompted additional personnel deployment on all critical ports to ensure orderly, safe, convenient and secure sea travel”, Tuason said.
He added that all PCG units are also advised to ensure that all maritime activities are monitored 24/7 and that all PCG personnel and assets are ready and prepared to respond to any maritime incident.
The maritime law enforcement agency also directed ship inspectors and Coast Guard K-9 teams to exercise extra vigilance in ports with random checks on passengers and luggage more than the usual.
He also appealed for patient understanding and cooperation of the passengers with regards to the tighter security steps enforced for the passenger exodus to ascertain their travel safety.

CHEMICAL watchdog EcoWaste Coalition called on the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to also follow the recall order of the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) over Korean noodles found positive for a cancer-causing substance.
Similar actions have already been made by Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong authorities as the group said there is no reason for the Philippines not to pull out the items from store shelves.
“We request our local FDA to look into this food safety issue and take appropriate action,” said EcoWaste Coalition’s Project Protect Aileen Lucero in a statement.
Last week, the KFDA announced the recall of nine types of instant noodles, including six products manufactured by Nongshim Co. Ltd., after detecting concentrations of benzopyrene in the powdered seasonings.
EcoWaste’s call was made after they were able to purchase some of these products, namely: Mild Neoguri, Spicy Neoguri, Neoguri Cup Noodles (small), Saewootang Cup Noodles (large), and Seng Seng Udong from local Korean stores.
The benzopyrene-containing noodles were found being sold in Korean specialty stores, particularly in Makati City and Quezon City.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxicity and Exposure Assessment for Children’s Health (Teach), benzopyrene is “a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that is a byproduct of incomplete combustion or burning of organic items, e.g., cigarettes, gasoline, and wood, and is commonly found with other PAHs in cigarette smoke, in grilled and broiled foods, and as a by-product of many industrial processes.”
The US EPA classifies benzopyrene as a probable human carcinogen based on studies in several adult animal species demonstrating that the substance can increase the incidence of tumors.
Similarly, EcoWaste also called on Korean shop owners to immediately return the remaining stocks of the “potentially-cancerous” products to the manufacturers.

Roxas channels Robredo at award rites
News About ClarkCLARK FREEPORT—It was how he would have wanted it.
New Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II channeled his predecessor, the late Jesse Robredo, last week as he handed out to local governments in Central Luzon awards that were decided upon before Robredo was killed in a plane crash in August.
“The assessment of, grading and decision to give recognition to these top performing local governments were made during [the watch of] Secretary Jesse,” Roxas told reporters on Wednesday.
For excellence in the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS), Roxas conferred awards in administrative governance on Cabanatuan City, San Felipe town in Zambales and Angeles City; for social governance on Cabanatuan City, Tarlac province, Camiling town in Tarlac and Angeles City; and for economic governance on Dipaculao in Aurora, Bulacan province and Palayan City.
The environmental governance citation went to Tarlac province, San Clemente town in Tarlac and Dipaculao in Aurora; and the valuing fundamentals of good governance award to Tarlac province, Angeles City and City of San Fernando.
Angeles City and Candaba in Pampanga received special recognition for getting high marks in the LGPMS categories since 2009.
Robredo involved civil society groups in validating the LGPMS, an online self-assessment tool that enables provincial, city and town governments to determine their capabilities and limitations in the delivery of basic services, a Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) report said.
Roxas also awarded the Seal of Good Housekeeping (SGH) to the provincial governments of Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales, and the highly urbanized cities of Angeles and Olongapo.
The SGH is given to local governments that have excelled in planning, budgeting, revenue mobilization, financial management and budget execution, procurement and resource mobilization, said Florida Dijan, DILG regional director.
As of Oct. 25, Dijan said the seven provinces as well as 13 cities and 117 towns in Central Luzon had obtained the SGH.
Conceptualized and implemented during Robredo’s term, the SGH is also an incentive through which local governments can avail themselves of the Performance Challenge Fund (PCF).
The DILG, on its website, said the PCF was an “incentive fund to eligible local governments in the form of counterpart funding for local development projects in the Annual Investment Program and funded by the 20-percent Local Development Fund.”
Roxas said the standards for qualifying for the awards would be “upgraded to raise the [performance] targets of local governments.”
Robredo also introduced the full disclosure policy for transparency and accountability in local governance. It is a requirement in the SGH.
DILG reports said 856 local governments had qualified for the SGH, getting a total of P1.1 billion for the PCF.
The Seal of Disaster Preparedness, which Robredo also started, showed 8,504 local governments with functional disaster management councils and 1,539 of these with command centers and alarm systems.Tonette Orejas, Inquirer

Fernandinos celebrate Frog Festival
About Angeles City, Clark, Subic and PampangaCITY OF SAN FERNANDO — For almost a week, they again came jumping, leaping, singing and dancing into the limelight — that is, both frogs and humans — as the City of San Fernando celebrated the 10th “Pyestang Tugak” or Frog Festival which culminated with a grand show of Fernandino talent Saturday at Robinsons Starmills.
Themed “Pamakibage, Pamanantabe, Pamia-abe,” this year’s festival, as Mayor Oscar Rodriguez aptly put it, “reminds us of the humble beginnings from where we came and the heights that we have scaled toward a better life through giant strides, much like those vigorous leaps that frogs are capable of making. Lowly regarded yet admirable for their resiliency and flexibility are these creatures we fete with such festivities like the street dance competition, choral and frog mascot contests, the ‘padwasan and sukluban’ and frog leaping and race.”
With the frog becoming a symbol of the city’s resiliency, flexibility and leaping to greater bounds since the festival’s inception in 2003, Rodriguez stressed: “Let us also keep in mind the need to save the frogs from extinction by exercising proper care of the environment. There is an on-going campaign by the city government for practices to sustain frogs and the environment as a whole. May the Frog Festival continue to be fruitful and worthwhile as we all take a higher leap in keeping the city the best place to live in.”
Heeding Rodriguez’s call, hundreds took on the frog stance to make the festival successful. Twelve barangays trooped to the St. Jude Village Oval frog farm Wednesday for the “padwasan” where both professional and kiddie frog catchers, using the native bamboo “padwas” or rod, competed for the prize catch of P4,000.
It was eventually won by Barangay Alasas and students from San Isidro Elementary School in the kids’ division.
“Out-croaking” the competition, the San Lorenzo Ruiz Center for Schools and Studies bested five other chorales in the Frog Choral Competition Thursday for the P10,000 grand prize, followed closely by a very young choir from Juliana Elementary School in second place.
The culminating activity proved to be tough as street dancers leaped-frogged their way to the top Saturday at the Atrium of Robinsons, with Baliti Integrated School topping the elementary school level in the free dance interpretation and bagging the best costume and headdress awards.
The City College triumphed in the college division with their moves and headdresses, while San Nicolas Integrated High School was awarded as best in costume.
This year, San Nicolas Integrated School stole the crown from defending champion San Lorenzo Ruiz Center for Schools and Studies in the Frog Mascot contest, while Juliana Elementary School was named champion in the elementary school level.
“We hope that next year will be a bigger Frog Festival with many more professing to participate in the annual festivity. And we thank all who have supported us in this festival which you can only find here in San Fernando. Only in Pampanga, where leaping is more fun in the Philippines,” said City Administrator Ferdinand Caylao.

Petron announces big rollbacks ahead of ‘Undas’
Press ReleasesMANILA — Giant oil firm Petron Corp. has announced significant price rollbacks ahead of the observance of All Saints Day and All Souls Day next week, traditionally marked by high fuel consumption due to the transit of people to and from the provinces.
In its text advisory Saturday afternoon, Petron Corp. said it would cut prices of premium and unleaded gasoline by P2.15 per liter, regular gasoline by P1.70 per liter and diesel and kerosene by P1.35 per liter.
Petron’s rollback would take effect at 12:01 a.m. Monday, Oct 29.
“This reflects the movements in the international oil market,” the oil firm said in its text advisory.
Early Saturday morning, independent oil player Flying V Philippines jumped the gun on its rival companies by implementing a smaller—yet still sizable—price drop Saturday.
At 12:01 a.m. Saturday, Flying V reduced its prices of unleaded and premium gasoline by P1.50 per liter and diesel by P1 per liter.
Other oil firms have yet to announce a price adjustment as of press time, although they are expected to follow.
Dept. of Energy Undersecretary Jose Layug Jr. himself noted that the international market price of petroleum products plunged during last week’s trading, particularly from October 22 to 25.
During that span, international prices of gasoline and diesel dropped by an equivalent P2.30 per liter and P1.40 per liter, respectively.
The majority of oil firms are actually coming off a wave of price cuts, which they implemented only last Tuesday.
The previous rollback amounted to P0.90 per liter on unleaded and premium, P0.40 per liter on regular, P0.35 per liter on diesel and P0.25 per liter on kerosene.
As of yesterday, the average price of fuel products in Metro Manila stood at the following levels: premium (including unleaded), P55 per liter; diesel, P43 per liter and kerosene, P54 per liter.
Layug dispelled assertions that oil companies are always looking to jack up prices in the days leading to All Saints Day and All Souls Day in order to maximize their profit.
“What we have monitored the past couple of years is that there is a decrease on pump before (Undas),” he said.

Comelec unlikely to meet 1M overseas voters target
Press ReleasesTHE Commission on Elections (Comelec) may bid goodbye to its goal of enlisting one million overseas Filipino voters by the end of October.
Based on their latest tally, Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes said they have registered more than 900,000 already but is still far from target.
But Brillantes said they are already comfortable with what they have achieved.
“The OAV (overseas absentee voting) has now reached 915,000 from the original of about half a million (in 2010). We practically doubled our registration,” he said.
Sticking to the October 31 deadline, Brillantes said they have even declined the request for a month-long extension of OAV registration from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
Brillantes said the decision was made by the en banc, with only him and Commissioner Lucenito Tagle favoring the request.
The Comelec started OAV registration in various Philippine foreign posts last October 31, 2011.

Future of Nokia hangs on Windows Phone 8 rollout
Press ReleasesFor Nokia, it comes down to this: Is Microsoft’s new phone software going to get it back in the smartphone race, or is it going to be too late?
After being the top seller of cellphones in the world for 14 years, Nokia failed to meet the challenge when Apple in 2007 introduced the dazzling iPhone that caught the imagination of design-conscious customers and rattled mobile markets.
The Finnish company hit a downward spiral that has led to shrinking sales and market share, plant closures, thousands of layoffs and downgrades by credit agencies to junk status.
On Friday, research firm IDC said that in the July-to-September period, Nokia slid for the first time off the list of the top five smartphone makers in the world. It’s still the second-largest maker of phones overall, but sales of non-smartphones are shrinking across the industry, and there’s little profit there.
The ailing company’s CEO, Stephen Elop, sees Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 8 software as a chance to reverse that trend, describing it as a catalyst for the new models.
On Monday, Microsoft Corp. is hosting a big launch event for the software at an arena in San Francisco. The first phones from Nokia, Samsung and HTC are expected to hit store shelves next month.
The launch of Windows Phone 8 follows on the heels of Windows 8 for PCs and tablets, which Microsoft released Friday. That operating system has borrowed its look from Windows Phone, meaning Microsoft now has a unified look across PCs and phones — at least if people take to Windows 8. The company has also made it easy for developers to create software that runs on both platforms with minor modifications.
Analysts are calling this a make-or-break moment for Nokia.
“Nokia is placing a huge bet on Microsoft and if the gamble doesn’t pay off, the losses can be high,” said Neil Mawston from Strategy Analytics, near London. “It’s putting all its eggs in one basket and that’s quite a high-risk strategy.”
In February last year, Nokia announced it was teaming up with Microsoft to replace its old Symbian and next-generation MeeGo software platforms with Windows. This move was made in the hope that it would rejuvenate the company and claw back lost ground.
Eight months later, they produced the first Nokia Windows Phone. Consumers didn’t warm to it, and it soon became clear that these phones, based on Windows Phone 7, were going to become obsolete. They can’t be upgraded to Windows Phone 8. Lumia sales slumped to 2.9 million units in the third quarter after reaching 4 million in the previous three months.
“Retailers withdrew marketing and promotion because no one wants to sell customers a device that ages in a few months,” says Michael Schroeder, analyst at FIM Bank Ltd. in Helsinki.
“Had there been a seamless transfer to Windows 8 from the old (Lumia) devices, sales figures would have been much higher last quarter.”
Mawston gives Nokia until April to prove it’s still in the race.
“If Nokia does not have more than 5 percent of the global smartphone market by the end of the first quarter 2013, alarm bells will be ringing,” Mawston said.
Analysts estimate Nokia’s current global smartphone market share to be some 4 percent — down from 14 percent a year ago. Meanwhile, uncertainty clouds its new venture with Microsoft.
“We’re a bit in the dark here,” Schroeder said. “Right now we can’t really say anything about Nokia’s future. Everything depends on how the new devices are received in the market.”
Nokia says its Lumia 920 and 820 phones are just the beginning of a new range of Windows Phone 8 devices, but early evaluations suggest they lack the “wow” effect necessary to make a dent in the smartphone market.
Also, Windows Phone 8 lags behind in the number of third-party applications available. There are some 100,000 available. Google’s and Apple’s stores have six or seven times as many.
“It’s a perception thing really,” Mawston of Strategy Analytics said. “Like in supermarket wars, if you have a store with lots of shelves with lots of apps, then consumers will choose you over a smaller store that has a smaller offering — even if you can’t use all those apps.”
Analysts expect 700 million smartphones to be sold worldwide this year. While network operators and retailers may welcome a third software system to challenge the dominance of Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android, it is the consumer who will ultimately decide Nokia’s and Windows Phone 8’s fate.
Beside the smartphone challenge, Nokia is feeling the pinch in the lower end with manufacturers in China and in Asia producing cut-rate non-smartphones — Nokia’s former domain. Earlier this year, Samsung overtook it as the world’s No. 1 mobile phone vendor, ending Nokia’s reign that peaked in 2008 with a 40 percent market share.
“Dumb” phones continue to be the backbone of Nokia operations, including in India where it’s a top seller. With strong and extensive distribution networks and a brand well-known in emerging markets, all might not be lost for the company that grew from making paper and rubber boots to being the biggest manufacturer of cellphones.
Mawston says that in theory, Nokia and Microsoft have a good chance of success as they offer an across-the-board system that stretches across home computers, mobiles, laptops, tablets as well as in the office, backed by Nokia’s strong distribution and hardware and Microsoft’s multi-platform software.
“If they can exploit that underlying market platform … and tie it all together in a good hardware portfolio, then potentially Microsoft and Nokia could be a very, very strong partnership — a bit like bringing together Batman and Robin,” Mawston said. “But, in practice, whether they can execute on that reality still is a great unknown and remains to be seen.” (AP)

Court enters not guilty plea for Arroyo on plunder
Press ReleasesMonday, October 29, 2012
MANILA (Updated 10:20 a.m.) — Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has decided not to enter any plea on plunder charges in connection with the alleged misuse of funds of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).
Before a packed courtroom of Sandiganbayan’s first division, Arroyo lawyer Anacleto Diaz said Monday they will wait for the decision of the Supreme Court regarding their request to further stop the hearings of the case due to lack of merit.
As a result, the Court entered a not guilty plea on behalf of Arroyo while the preliminary conference has been set on December 3, 2012 and pre-trial on February 14, 2013.
“Under the rules, a no plea is equivalent to entering a not guilty plea. We did not expect that,” lead prosecutor Diosdado Calonge told reporters.
Arroyo, who arrived an hour before the 8:30 a.m.arraignment, was accompanied by her family led by husband Jose Miguel Arroyo and children Ang Galing party-list Representative Juan Miguel Arroyo, Camarines Sur Representative Dato Arroyo and Luli Arroyo.
Showing their support for Arroyo as well were members of the Karapatan Youth Movement, who lined up outside the court’s premises.
After the arraignment, a white shuttle brought Arroyo back to her detention suite at the Veteran’s Memorial Medical Center (VMMC), less than 30 minutes away from the Sandiganbayan in Quezon City.
Security was tight inside and outside the anti-graft court as bomb disposal units of the Philippine National Police (PNP) were stationed while some policemen were tasked to secure the route between the VMMC and the court.
Arroyo’s close-in security meanwhile was provided by the PNP Police Security and Protection Group.
The Pampanga lawmaker has since denied the charge that she benefitted from the misuse of some P366 million worth of PCSO intelligence funds from 2008 leading to the presidential elections in 2010.
In her petition for temporary restraining order (TRO) SC last week, Arroyo said the Office of the Ombudsman, which filed the case, failed to establish that she received a single centavo of the encashed checks.
Her lawyers said Arroyo’s involvement was only limited to the approval of the funds, which was intended for tracking down people or organizations behind illegal gambling games (jueteng) under the guise of small town lottery and sweepstakes scams.
Arroyo should have entered her plea last October 15 but it was reset to Monday after she was found suffering from coronary ischemia.

‘Undas’ travelers urged to arrive early at port
Press ReleasesMonday, October 29, 2012
MANILA — With the All Saints and Souls’ out of town exodus peaking, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Monday urged all seagoing travelers to be on the port and terminal of their embarkation three hours before their scheduled departure to avoid any confusion or being left behind by their ship.
Lieutenant Commander Armand Balilo, PCG spokesperson, said the three-hour margin will ensure that the travelers will have ample time for traffic, having their baggage checked by security personnel, and buying food and drinks for the trip ahead.
He also urged ship passengers to refrain from carrying unlicensed firearms, narcotics, bladed weapons, explosives or pyrotechnic devices and gasoline or liquified petroleum gasoline (LPG) cookers as they could be arrested for bringing these.
Rear Admiral Luis Tuason Jr., PCG vice commandant for operations, earlier said all Coast Guard units in port and ferry terminals are now placed in a high-state of alert as part of the efforts to ensure that the annual holidays will be incident-free.
“There is a recent mandate to all Coast Guard Personnel nationwide to be on heightened alert for security purposes upon the Department of Transportation and Communication Secretary Joseph Abaya’s instruction and prompted additional personnel deployment on all critical ports to ensure orderly, safe, convenient and secure sea travel”, Tuason said.
He added that all PCG units are also advised to ensure that all maritime activities are monitored 24/7 and that all PCG personnel and assets are ready and prepared to respond to any maritime incident.
The maritime law enforcement agency also directed ship inspectors and Coast Guard K-9 teams to exercise extra vigilance in ports with random checks on passengers and luggage more than the usual.
He also appealed for patient understanding and cooperation of the passengers with regards to the tighter security steps enforced for the passenger exodus to ascertain their travel safety.

Philippines urged to recall ‘cancer-causing’ Korean noodles
Press ReleasesCHEMICAL watchdog EcoWaste Coalition called on the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to also follow the recall order of the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) over Korean noodles found positive for a cancer-causing substance.
Similar actions have already been made by Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong authorities as the group said there is no reason for the Philippines not to pull out the items from store shelves.
“We request our local FDA to look into this food safety issue and take appropriate action,” said EcoWaste Coalition’s Project Protect Aileen Lucero in a statement.
Last week, the KFDA announced the recall of nine types of instant noodles, including six products manufactured by Nongshim Co. Ltd., after detecting concentrations of benzopyrene in the powdered seasonings.
EcoWaste’s call was made after they were able to purchase some of these products, namely: Mild Neoguri, Spicy Neoguri, Neoguri Cup Noodles (small), Saewootang Cup Noodles (large), and Seng Seng Udong from local Korean stores.
The benzopyrene-containing noodles were found being sold in Korean specialty stores, particularly in Makati City and Quezon City.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxicity and Exposure Assessment for Children’s Health (Teach), benzopyrene is “a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that is a byproduct of incomplete combustion or burning of organic items, e.g., cigarettes, gasoline, and wood, and is commonly found with other PAHs in cigarette smoke, in grilled and broiled foods, and as a by-product of many industrial processes.”
The US EPA classifies benzopyrene as a probable human carcinogen based on studies in several adult animal species demonstrating that the substance can increase the incidence of tumors.
Similarly, EcoWaste also called on Korean shop owners to immediately return the remaining stocks of the “potentially-cancerous” products to the manufacturers.
