Not only will it bolster the Philippines' resilience, but also significantly contribute to its progress. Additionally, this proactive approach underscores the government's commitment to adapting and thriving in an ever-changing global economic landscape.   A Comprehensive Financial Blueprint This budget is not just about numbers; it's a comprehensive financial blueprint that will guide the Philippines through 2024, touching upon every aspect of national development, from infrastructure to social services. It aims to address the immediate needs of the Filipino people while laying the groundwork for long-term sustainability and growth.  

PH Fiscal Stewardship

With President Marcos' anticipated signing of the 2024 national budget, the Philippines is poised to embark on a new chapter of fiscal stewardship. Consequently, this budget mirrors the administration's vision for the nation's future, thereby promising to become a cornerstone in the pursuit of economic stability and prosperity.

  Civil Disturbance Management Team Ready to Respond to Any Untoward Incident

The Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) is maintaining a state of high alert as it prepares for the second State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Monday. The event coincides with the commencement of a three-day nationwide strike organized by transport groups based in Metro Manila.  

BCPO Director Assures Readiness for SONA

Col. Noel Aliño, the BCPO director, assured the public on Sunday that "Team BCPO is 100 percent ready for the SONA." The civil disturbance management team is on standby and fully prepared to handle any untoward incidents that may arise during the event. Aliño emphasized that the BCPO will exercise maximum tolerance while ensuring the safety and security of Bacolodnons.   BCPO Assists Commuters Affected by Transport Strike In coordination with the city government, the BCPO will also deploy vehicles to assist commuters who may be affected by the transport strike. However, it is worth noting that the majority of public utility jeepney operators in Bacolod have announced that they will not be participating in the strike, including prominent groups like Sentrong Samahan ng Tsuper at Operators Negros and the Federation of Bacolod City Drivers Association.  

Metro Manila Transport Groups Protest PUV Modernization Program

The Metro Manila-based transport groups organizing the nationwide strike are protesting the December 31, 2023 deadline for the consolidation phase of the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program.

City Administrator Pacifico Maghari III clarified that there is no specific group in Bacolod joining the transport strike on Monday. Many transport leaders have expressed their decision not to participate, expressing gratitude for the efforts of Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez in assisting them with the issuance of provisional authority (PA) from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board.   Assistance for Stranded Commuters Maghari added that in anticipation of potentially stranded commuters, the BCPO will provide free rides through its "Libre Sakay" service. This initiative involves deploying mobile vehicles to specific locations covered by all 10 police stations in the city, aiming to alleviate the impact of the strike on the commuting public. Almost 1,300 traditional jeepneys in Bacolod granted PA until year-end, ensuring continued transportation options for residents.

Marcos Calls for Regular Upgrades of the Uniform Government Systems

  President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has directed the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to conduct a regular upgrade of the e-Gov system to ensure its effective implementation at the local level, Malacañang said Wednesday. Marcos issued the directive to Information and Communications Technology Secretary Ivan John Uy during a sectoral meeting at Malacañan Palace in Manila on Tuesday to discuss the Department of Information and Communications Technology’s pending projects and cybersecurity concerns, Communication Secretary Cheloy Garafil said in a statement. The President told Uy to help the local government units (LGUs) adapt to the rollout of the e-Gov system, a single operating system for all government transactions to ensure faster, more streamlined, and more convenient delivery of public services nationwide.   “So again, it all boils down to that. That’s really the essence of digitalization. Let’s be sure that we are able to upgrade this system. Set it up to get them (LGUs) ready, so they know how to operate it,” he said, as quoted by the Presidential Communications Office.   "Let's capacitate our LGUs so they can adapt to the system," Marcos told Communications Technology Secretary Ivan John Uy.   In December 2022, the Department of Information and Communications Technology launched the eGov Super App, a platform that seeks the development, implementation, and integration of e-Local Government Units (eLGU), e-Government Application (eGovApp), eGovpay, e-Travel, and e-Cloud. During the sectoral meeting, Uy said the eGov system would enable local government to save a lot of money and boost income generation.   “So medyo gagaan ‘yung ano natin downloading. Makakatipid ho sila (Downloading would be easier. They would be able to save a lot of money). And their income generation capacity will increase tremendously because there will be efficiencies in the collection,” he said.   Communication Secretary Cheloy Garafil said the eGov Super App is set to be launched early next month. She noted that the priority projects include centralizing government cloud services through e-Cloud; getting citizens’ feedback and complaints through e-Report; and integrating all government services into one platform through eGov app.  

Other Initiatives

Uy also enumerated the Department of Information and Communications Technology’s other priority initiatives during the sectoral meeting with Marcos, according to a Facebook post by state-run Radio Television Malacañang. He presented the National Information and Communications Technology Development Agenda 2023-2028 consisting of the National Broadband Plan, Digital Transformation of the National Government, and Enhancing Information and Communications Technology Competency of Filipinos through Upskilling and Reskilling. He also discussed the state of Philippine Cybersecurity, the proposed National Cybersecurity Response Organization, and the Department of Information and Communications Technology’s ongoing unified countermeasures. In 2022, the Philippines ranked 71st out of 131 economies in the global Network Readiness Index, a significant jump from its 85th ranking in 2021 because of its good performance on e-commerce legislation, high-tech exports, and Information and Communications Technology services exports.   Sources: THX News, Presidential Communications Office & Philippine News Agency.

Mindanao Peace Process: Opapuru's Keys to Success

  The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace, Reconciliation and Unity (OPAPRU) on Monday attributed the success of the Mindanao peace process to the support provided by local and international stakeholders.   "The success of the Mindanao peace process has a vibrant support from the stakeholders as well as the international community," it said in a statement.   OPAPRU bared this after Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian compared the situation of China with Taiwan to those in Mindanao. "We took note about the statement of Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian comparing the internal tension in China with Taiwan to the Mindanao peace process," the body said.   OPAPRU said the Bangsamoro peace process ever since has been facilitated by a third-party country to ensure fairness and maintain the integrity of the peace negotiations. "Now in its implementation phase, the role of the international community in the southern peace process is very crucial to help deliver the peace dividends," it added.   OPAPRU also noted that President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., during the UN General Assembly, has earlier showcased the positive experience in the Bangsamoro peace process to which other countries with internal conflicts can replicate. "We encourage countries with similar situations such as ours to follow the same path in resolving conflicts peacefully and not resort to unnecessary threat of force, intimidation, and/or violence," it added.   OPAPRU also believes that the success of the Bangsamoro peace process can be replicated no matter how difficult it is.
