DOE pushes for smart
technos, e-vehicles
MANILA -- The list
goes on. High-efficiency
motors, photovoltaic sys-
tems, light-emitting diodes,
power banks, coolers, and
energy monitoring and
control systems are some
of the smart technologies
the Department of Energy
(DOE) is pushing for, so the
country can save on energy,
emit less carbon, that will
eventually make businesses
profit more.
The DOE is also pushing
for electric vehicles to further
promote green technology
options and a cleaner envi-
ronment.
“Smart energy technolo-
gies promote efficient energy
use, reduced energy cost and
greener energy options to
households and energy sec-
tors,” said Energy Assistant
Secretary Redentor Delola
during the E-Power Mo En-
2 HIGH-VALUE TARGETS . . .
October 10.
The PDEA team led by
agent Enrique Lucero con-
ducted the buy-bust at the sus-
pects' residence at about 9:45
p.m. Saturday (Dec. 2).
He said the suspects are
considered as major drug sup-
pliers operating in Albay.
According to Frivaldo,
the suspects are members of
drug supply group wherein it
was also the subject of a drug
buy-bust operation in October
where PDEA agents nabbed
Amerodin Cadayon alias
Oding -- also a resident of ba-
rangay Oro Site -- and seized
from him 230 grams of crys-
tal meth with a street value of
PHP1.3 million.
Frivaldo said, "our opera-
tions are focussed on the sup-
ply reduction as we continue
to pursue and arrest major
drug suppliers."
"While we are putting
more pressure on reducing the
drug supply we urge the vari-
ous local government drug en-
forcers to take the necessary
measure to assist in bringing

ence in Clark, Pampanga on

At the final leg of the E-

year, the energy department
highlighted the efficient use
of energy resources, as well
as conservation techniques
for the consumers.
The DOE is also imple-
menting the Government En-
ergy Management Systems
(GEMS), which aims to re-
duce government’s monthly
energy consumptions by at
least 10 percent from 2005
levels.
“The DOE will continue

Frivaldo said.
The suspects are temporar-
ily under the custody of PDEA
detention facilities here while
appropriate charges are being
prepared.
Meanwhile, in a follow-up
operation, joint PDEA agents
from Bicol and Region 4-A
nabbed three illegal drug sup-
pliers in a buy-bust operation
conducted at about 2:30 p.m.
Friday at the E. Aguinaldo
Highway, Barangay Anabu II,
Imus Cavite.
Arrested were Ronald
Paredes, 39; Salvador Durana,
24; and Jonathan Lara, 44.
Seized from the suspects
were three knot-tied plastic
bags containing shabu weigh-
ing 300 grams worth PHP1.5
million.
The suspects were pinpoint-
ed as the sources of shabu by
Marilex Arbuis who was arrest-
ed together with her companion
Ceasar Galiza in a buy-bust
operation last Nov. 23, 2017, at

Opening up Phl
Telco Industry
(Atty. APA – chairs Acyatan &
Co., CPAs-DFK International – is
past chair of ASEAN Federation
of CPAs, PICPA past president
and Hall-of-Famer, and ACPAPP
Lifetime Achievement Awardee).
TOP TELCOS: China’s big three
telecommunications firms may
soon enter the Philippine market.
This development could potentially
put an end to the “duopoly” that is
a concern among many Filipinos.
China’s telecom market is currently
served by three state-run operators:
China Mobile Ltd., China Telecom,
and China Unicom. All three
companies rank among the world’s
25 biggest telecom companies:
China Mobile (3rd) China Telecom
(9th), and China Unicom (24th).
During his bilateral meeting with
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang two
weeks ago, Pres. RRD offered
China the privilege to operate a third
PHL telecom carrier. Duterte has
long been calling for a third telco
player so that consumers can enjoy
better mobile and internet services.
The entry of a new player, however,
is not seen as a problem. Telco
giant PLDT officials said that they
are open to the entry of new players
in the industry. We look forward to
more efficient internet services!
OTHER VALUE CROPS: Filipino
farmers should focus their resources
on other high-value crops that have
a greater potential to compete in
the region. This was suggested
by the Research Program on
Climate Change, Agriculture and
Food Security (CCAFS), a unit of
the International Rice Research
Institute. It said PHL should further
Appreciate the people
who give you wings
The year 2017 is ending. We are
now in the last month of the year, a
time to give thanks to the Lord for
the days in 2017 he gave us. Others
do not even wake from their sleep.
Others met accidents. We are alive
and be thankful for it.
We should be thankful also to
those who have helped us and
to those who gave us wings – as
the following column of Marilyn C.
Arayata calls it in the Tempo dated
July 2, 2017: “Sometimes people
crawl just so their loved ones can
fly – they deprive themselves of
much-needed rest and a few treats
in order to see that their children are
well-fed, well-educated, and (I hope)
well-mannered. OFWs are a perfect
example. Remember these lines
from the movie “Anak” starring Vilma
Santos? “Sana tuwing umiinom ka

develop other existing crops aside
from rice, which may not be its
strength now – as Vietnam and
Thailand are able to produce rice
crops for export to the Philippines.
While PHL is close to meeting its
target of 100% rice self-sufficiency,
it remains way behind other ASEAN
countries like Vietnam, Thailand
and even Cambodia which have
long been exporting the main
staple. CCAFS urged PHL to take
inspiration on how Vietnamese
farmers view agriculture, which is
global in perspective. It emphasized
the need for improving efficiency of
technologies, building markets, and
strengthening crop quality. Their
crop technologists trained at UP
Los Banos (IRRI).
CHELATION THERAPY: I have
long been (Sy five years) undergoing
Chelation Therapy as a preventive
measure for the potential clogging
of my arteries. It was just a personal
whim which was endorsed by a
few of my doctor friends. Recent
events proved my practice as
sound and helpful. Two months ago
I underwent an angiogram. I was
ready for a possible angioplasty
or heart bypass. My cardiologist
did not recommend angioplasty
because my heart peripherals
(collaterals) are not blocked.
That was credited to my
chelation therapy. My emergency
bypass to clear major arteries was
downgraded to “elective” surgery,
requiring continuing evaluation
of my heart function – aided by
several medicines - and advice to
change diet (fruits and vegetables)
and to reduce stress from work/

nakahiga ka diyan sa kutson mo,

How many OFW parents have the
same sentiments?
How many of your Facebook
friends have posted something like
“Ni hindi muna mangumusta” and
complain about relatives who make
unreasonable demands for money
and other material things – as if they
are not struggling and sacrificing in
a foreign land? They call only when
they need something. “Hindi naman
kami namumulot dito ng pera”.
Many people who work abroad
do so to keep their families afloat,
people. I was prevented from
riding planes. We had to cancel
our visit to our daughter’s family
in California. Now I am under
intensive chelation therapy
hoping that the remaining arterial
blocks will dissipate. Your prayers
will surely help!
TALENTS: In our column last
week, we mentioned that all of
us must review our life and verify
what talents or gifts we have
received from our Lord. After
thanking God for these blessings,
the next question is – what did we
do with these gifts? Our Lord will
be pleased to know if we devoted
our Time, Talents and Treasures
for the glory of God. This means,
we should share our blessings
with our fellow humans or even
for our environment so that our
actions will be pleasing to God.
In my personal case – aside from
doing my best in serving others –
first as bank officer, and later as
a practicing CPA-Lawyer (and
journalist), our family established
the Acyatan Foundation – a non-
stock, non-profit corporation
devoted to helping others. Our
many beneficiaires include
indigents served by our Free
Medical Clinics and seasonal
Gift-giving, and promising youth
who are provided with partial
scholarships. Our children and
grandchildren participate in all our
endeavors that bring the joy of our
Lord to their hearts.
WISDOM: Sharing our God-
given talents with others is our
passport for entry into our Lord’s
kingdom.
but the trouble with being givers
or rescuers is that people take
advantage of their kindness.
These people do not know their
boundaries. They are angry when
a wish is not granted. “Parang
may patago.”
Do you have OFW parents,
brothers, sisters, aunts, and
uncles? How can you make their
burdens lighter? How can you
show them that their sacrifices
are not wasted? (Even those
who work locally have their own
struggles and sacrifices.) How
can you show them your gratitude
and appreciation, especially when
they are already old and sickly?

GNSR, hosted by Sena-
tor Bam and DJ Cheska San
Diego- Bobodilla, invited
guests that will inspire other

not to be afraid of change
through innovations and dis-
cover greater opportunities.
With GSNR’s theme,
‘Maliit na puhunan, tungo
sa malaking kabuhayan’,

program, Garcia and de Tor-
res shared each one’s journey
to have successful businesses
from a small capital.
Garcia’s Garden and
Farm, from a simple farm,
evolved into an Agri-Tourism
site and is now certified NC
II by TESDA. Moreover, it
also partnered with the Poly-
technic University and South
Luzon State University in of-
fering on-the-job trainings for
students on organic farming.
“I started a gift shop busi-
ness first, then my friends
told me that my farm could
be developed into a resort.
Later on, I realized I should
focus in organic farming,”
Garcia said.
“I am always open to oth-
er things I could do for the
development of my business,
I am always innovating,” she
added.
The other guest, de Torres,
also shared how her success-
ful business started small.
She started a buy-and-sell
business, which later turned
out to become a garden

Well, this is providing

national ID
system bill

MANILA – The Senate is
eyeing the passage of the bill
seeking to create a national
identification system for Filipi-
nos by early 2018.
Senator Panfilo Lacson,
chairman of the subcommittee
on the national ID system, said
the proposed scheme would
enhance the delivery of basic
services to the public, as well
as prevent crimes and expedite
transactions in the private sector.
Lacson said the Philippines
