Pag-angkat ng 150K metric tons ng asukal, kailangan para matugunan ang posibilidad ng kakulangan – PSA

Posted on: May 18th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

NAGPALIWANAG ang sugarcane regulatory Administration sa pangangailangang mag-angkat ng asukal mula sa ibang bansa.

Kahapon nang opisyal na inaprubahan ni Pangulong Marcos ang pag-angkat muli ng 150,000 metrikong tonalada ng asukal dahil sa posibilidad ng kakulangan sa mga darating na buwan.

Ayon sa SRA, magkakaroon ng negative ending stock ang bansa ng hanggang sa 552,835 metrikong tonelada pagsapit ng Agosto 2023. Ito ay kasabay na ng pagtatapos ng milling season.

Kung hindi mag-aangkat ang bansa ng sapat na supply ng asukal, tiyak umanong kukulangin na ang supply nito sa merkado.

Batay sa pagtaya ng SRA, maaaring abutin lamang sa 2.4 Million metric tons ang local production ngayong taon, na pinapaniwalaang kukulangin para tugunan ang pangangailangan ng mga consumer sa bansa.

Paliwanag ng SRA, ang 150,000 metriko tonelada ng asukal na aangkatin ay maaaring madamit upang pantustus sa anumang kakulangan ng supply nito sa mga merkado.

Pinayuhan na ‘wag basta-basta magpapadikta: PIA to MICHELLE: ‘Bring the Philippines with you yes, but still be YOU’

Posted on: May 18th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

LAST Saturday, May 13, itinanghal na Miss Universe Philippines 2023 si Michelle Marquez Dee, na magiging pambato natin sa Miss Universe sa gaganapin sa El Salvador bago matapos ang taon.

At ilang araw, pagkatapos nang pinag-usapan na pagkasungkit ng korona, nag-post si Michelle ng winning moment photos, na kung saan in-explain kung bakit niya napiling irampa ang black gown na gawa ng pamosong fashion designer na si Mark Bumgarner sa coronation night ng beauty pageant.

Panimulang caption ni Michelle, “Mark said it best: An evening gown with restraint.

Pagpapatuloy pa niya, “In pageantry, every queen’s goal is to stand out and wow the crowd. One of the best ways to do that is to wear a gown that looks and feels like the ‘winning look’ for the night, full of anything that would add shimmer, shine and extravagance.

“Mark and I had a different vision. We didn’t want to go the typical ‘pageant patty’ route. We wanted an iconic masterpiece that would bring out my best assets and to stay true to who I am: daring, elegant, fierce – and of course in my color, BLACK.”

Dugtong pa ng Kapuso actress, “To me, this gown symbolizes that in this life, its not about always being what everyone expects you to be.

“It’s about having restraint and choosing to stay true to yourself even if it’s so much easier to just follow what everyone wants you to be.

“That in being yourself, you will find people who will believe and see the potential within you. In choosing to be yourself, you will find enough strength and power to achieve anything you set your mind to.

“Thank you @markbumgarner for going on this journey with me! You had full reign from its sketch all the way to the MUPH stage and we couldn’t ask for a better outcome.”

Say naman ni Mark, “I remember at the photostudio, when you both tried on the two gowns, the moment u walked out in black, we all collectively said “thats it, etonna yun” thats when we decided its the dress fornthe finals. You have a good team.”

Tugon naman ni Michelle, “@markbumgarner it was in that moment WE KNEW.”

Nagbigay naman ng komento at payo si 2015 Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach ng kanyang pagsuporta sa bagong pambato ng Pinas sa Miss U…

“YES!! Beautiful! I love how you stayed true to who you are and did not let pageant trends or chiefs dictate how you should be.

“It stood out perfectly! Please maintain that til Miss Universe! We want to see YOU. Michelle Dee.

“Dont let other ‘chiefs’ dictate how you should represent yourself. As Esther advised me before, too many chiefs ruin the fun. And at this point everyone will act like an expert, even strangers.

“It’s YOU Michelle who’s gonna be on that stage. And that’s a once in a lifetime experience. Bring the Philippines with you yes, but still be YOU.”

Nag-reply naman si Michelle sa magandang komento at payo sa kanya ni Mrs. Jeremy Jauncey, “@piawurtzbach AMEN QUEEN!!! I always find strength from your advice & you couldn’t have said it any better. I’ll take this to heart.”

Say naman ng mga netizens…

“Pia, we need more people who doesn’t sugar coat like you.”

“Perfectly said coming from Queen.”

“this is powerful. Love u, Queen P!

“Very well said Queen Pia. Go for the crown @michelledee

“You always give the most raw and real advice, Queen P. Yung talagang nangyayari. Walang halong charot.”

“The Queen has spoken kaya iyak na lang mga bashers.”

“True prove them wrong MD. Di mo kailangan maging crowd favorite para manalo walang audience impact sa MU.”
“I am so happy you won Miss Universe Philippines you should have won last year! Good luck at the Miss Universe beauty pageant! I am an avid fan of your Mum and of course you as well!”

Goodluck Michelle, bring home the crown!

Pulis na dawit sa 990-kilo shabu na-contempt, kulong sa Senado

Posted on: May 18th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

KULONG sa Senado ang pulis na dawit sa nakumpiskang 990 kilo ng shabu matapos patawan ng contempt ng Senate committee on public order and dangerous drugs.

Hindi nagustuhan ni Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa ang tila pag-iwas sa katanungan ni PNP-Drug Enforcement Unit Special Operations Unit chief Capt. Jonathan Sosongco, kaugnay sa pagkakasamsam ng 990 kilo ng shabu na nagkakahalaga ng P6.7 bilyon.

Sa pagdinig ng komite, hiniling ni Dela Rosa kay Sosongco na ibigay sa kanya ang numero ng kanyang impormante matapos tumanggi ang ibang pulis na sangkot sa mga operasyon na tumanggap ng tip sa 990 kilo ng shabu.

Sinabi ni Sosongco na wala na ang teleponong ginamit niya sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa impormante.

“Your honor, wala na po ‘yung cellphone ko na gamit po…’Yung cellphone na ginagamit sa trabaho hindi naman ito ang ginagamit. Wala na, your honor,” ani Sosongco.

Dahil dito, hiniling ni Dela Rosa kay Sen. Robin Padilla na gumawa ng mosyon para i-cite ng contempt si Sosongco.

“Sobra na itong panloloko na ginagawa sa atin dito. Nauubos na ‘yung oras natin dito,” ani Dela Rosa.

Sinuportahan ni Padilla ang panawagan ni Dela Rosa at naaprubahan ang mosyon. (Daris Jose)

Witness-suspects vs Teves, ‘umaatras’

Posted on: May 18th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

BIGLA umanong nanahimik ang mga testigong suspek laban kay suspended Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves, Jr. dahilan para muling maantala ang paghahain ng kasong murder sa kongresista.

Sinabi ni Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla na ang muling ‘delay’ sa pangako nilang pagsasampa ng kaso kahapon ng Lunes ay dahil sa pagtanggi nang makipagkooperasyon ng mga nadakip na witness-suspects.

Nang madakip ang mga suspek may 12-14 araw makaraan ang pagpaslang kay Governor Roel Degamo at siyam na iba pa, nakapagbigay sila ng pahayag sa mga prosecutor at sa mga imbestigador ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). Tinutulungan sila noon ng mga abogado ng Public Attorney’s Office.

Ngunit biglang nagkaroon na ng mga pribadong abogado ang mga witness-suspects at inabisuhan na manahimik at huwag nang magbigay ng pahayag.

Dahil dito, napilitan ang mga imbestigador na balikan ang kanilang mga naunang pahayag at pag-aralan ang mga rekord ukol sa case building.

“So, we were able to build the case. We were able to get the facts within our knowledge and that went very well. We were able to charge them,” pagtitiyak ni Remulla.

“Some of them have refused to speak already and issued another statement. We suspect they will be changing statements later on, and make recantations of sorts,” ayon pa sa kalihim.

Nananatiling tiwala naman si Remulla sa kaso nila laban kay Teves dahil sa mga naunang pahayag. Sinabi pa niya na maaaring masampahan na ng kaso ngayong linggo si Teves na kabibilangan ng 10 bilang ng murder, ilang bilang ng frustrated murder at attempted murder. (Daris Jose)

GLOBAL ACTION ICON WU JING IS BACK IN THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED PREQUEL “THE WANDERING EARTH II”

Posted on: May 18th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Action icon Wu Jing has been very busy.

This month, the prolific Chinese actor, director and martial artist (“Wolf Warrior” films, “Shaolin”) will be seen in “The Wandering Earth II,” prequel to the 2019 futuristic blockbuster “The Wandering Earth.” Given the fate of Jing’s character in the first movie, it would have been impossible to include him in a second movie but fortunately, director Frant Gwo came up with the perfect solution. “Wu provided us with a lot of selfless help in the first installment,” said Gwo in an interview with China.org.cn. “I wanted to show gratitude to him, but I didn’t want to write some unconvincing plot about his resurrection. So, I said, let’s do a prequel.”

Watch the trailer for “The Wandering Earth II”: https://youtu.be/ZCuE5HntgeM

In an interview with Chinese paper Global Times to promote the first film, Jing said he hoped that “The Wandering Earth” would spark children’s interest in science. Having young children of his own, it’s no surprise that Jing wanted to be part of the prequel, too.

In “The Wandering Earth II,” after learning that the sun is rapidly burning out and will obliterate Earth in the process, humans build enormous engines to propel the planet to a new solar system, far out of reach of the sun’s fiery flares.

However, the journey out into the universe is perilous, and humankind’s last shot at survival will depend on a group of young people brave enough to step up and execute a dangerous, life-or-death operation to save the earth.

The film, to be released by Warner Bros. Pictures exclusively in cinemas in the Philippines on May 31, also stars international star Andy Lau.

Besides the highly anticipated futuristic prequel, Jing will star in another fan-favorite follow-up, “Meg 2: The Trench,” in cinemas August 2.

About “The Wandering Earth II”

Directed by Frant Gwo, with a screenplay by Frant Gwo and Gong Ge’er, “The Wandering Earth II” (a prequel to the 2019 futuristic blockbuster “The Wandering Earth”) is based on the book by Liu Cixin.

The film stars Andy Lau, Wu Jing, Li Xuejian, Sha Yi, Ning Li, Wang Zhi and Zhu Yanmanzi.

In cinemas May 31, “The Wandering Earth II” is distributed in the Philippines by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Discovery company.

75 NA IMMIGRATION OFFICERS, NAGSIPAGTAPOS

Posted on: May 18th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

MAY kabuuang 75 na panibagong batch ng mga Immigration Officers ang nagtapos sa ilalim ng Bureau of Immigrations (BI) Philippine Immigration Academy (PIA).

Ang mga nagtapos na mga BI Immigration ay pormal na kikilalanin sa isang graduation ceremony sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3.

Sinabi ni BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco na ang 75 ay sumailalim sa isang makabagong fast-tracked course na naglalayon na maibigay ang ” brief and concise learning experience” para sa mga bagong IO’s na magsisilbing frontliners sa mga paliparan.

Lahat ng immigration officers ay sumailalim sa pagsasanay sa ilalim ng BI-PIA kabilang ang immigration laws, rules, and procedures. Matatagpuan ang academya sa Clark, Pampanga, pero ang mga bagong officers ay nagsanay sa NAIA para sa mas holistic at on-the-ground training.

Ang mga bagong IO’s ay sinanay sa pinakabago at tamang kaugalian sa immigration industry at maaari silang mai-deploy pagkatapos ng kanilang kurso.

Ang mga bagong nagtapos ay binubuo ng 22 babae at 63 na lalaki at dinaluhan ni Secretary of Justice Jesus Crispin Remulla, bilang guest of honor at speaker.

“I am proud to have been given an opportunity to address you this morning,” ani Remulla sa kanyang talumpati. “Soldiers you are, warriors you are, but given a task sometimes called so mundane, but actually very significant at a time when terrorism other crimes have crossed borders without limit. You are the ones who limit the movement of people who will not do our country good favor,” ayon pa kay Remulla.

Ayon kay Tansingco, ang karagdagan na mga personnel ay dagdag sa pangangailangan sa airport at iba pang sangay ng BI.

“As we continually recover from the woes of the Covid-19 pandemic, we need a new breed of officers to cope with the increasing volume of passengers,” ayon sa BI Chief. “We also trust that through this action, we strengthen our drive to combat human trafficking and thwart the entry of unwanted aliens in our borders,” dagdag pa nito.

Ang 75 na bagong mga IO’s ay karagdagan sa halos 1,000 personnel na idineploy sa iba’t-ibang paliparan. GENE ADSUARA

Halos 60K Pinoy nagbenepisyo sa P400 milyong medical assistance – PCSO

Posted on: May 18th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

IBINAHAGI ng Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) na hindi bababa sa 60,000 Pilipino ang nakinabang sa mahigit P400 milyon na inilabas ng ahensya sa tulong medikal sa unang quarter ng 2023.

“Nasa 60,779 kababayan natin ang natulungan sa kanilang gastusing pang-medikal, na umabot sa P410,427,957.55 na inilabas ng PCSO sa pamamagitan ng Medical Access Program,” ani PCSO Chairman Junie E. Cua.

“Asahan po ninyo na tuluy-tuloy lang ang PCSO sa adhikain nitong matulungan ang sambayanang Pilipino. Paiigtingin pa natin ang serbisyo para mas marami pang kababayan natin ang makinabang,” dagdag pa ni Cua.

Ayon sa PCSO, ang Medical Access Program (MAP) ay sumasaklaw sa iba’t ibang mga request para sa fund augmentation para sa mga medical concerns tulad ng confinement, dialysis injection, paggamot sa kanser, hemodialysis, laboratoryo, diagnostic, at mga imaging procedures, gayundin sa implant at mga medikal na kagamitan, atbp.

Anila, ang MAP ay kinuha mula sa Charity Fund na binubuo ng 30 porsiyento ng mga net receipt, at eksklusibong ginagamit upang pondohan at suportahan ang mga programang pangkalusugan, tulong medikal, mga serbisyo, at mga kawanggawa na may national character.

Ang PCSO ay kumakalap ng mga pondo sa pamamagitan ng mga sweepstakes, karera ng kabayo, lottery at mga kahalintulad na aktibidad.

Nagpahayag si Cua ng positibong pananaw na ang ahensya ay makakapaglingkod sa mas maraming Pilipino ngayong taon at lalampas sa mga numerong naitala nito noong 2022 kung saan nakapaglabas ang PCSO ng P1,395,310,206.43 sa 210,731 benepisyaryo.

Tungkol sa autism ang advocacy ni Michelle.

Sa isang video, ipinakilala ni Michelle ang mga kapatid: “These are my brothers, individuals on the spectrum. This is Adam, my younger brother, and this is Mazen, my older brother as well. So, all of us grew up here.

“When you have brothers in the spectrum, they also need a lot of excercise, kaya lagi akong tumatakbo dito. Dito sila nag-e-exercise just to wind down and relax.”

(Ang lugar na binanggit ni Michelle ay sa Salcedo Park in Makati)

“This is why I advocate for autism awareness. because my brothers needed it and every one on the spectrum needs it too.”

Marami tuloy ang nagtatanong kay Rhian, bakit hindi siya sumasali sa mga beauty pageants, gayung pasado naman ang kanyang beauty?

Kasama nga ni Rhian na nanood ang mga friends din nila ni Michelle na si Kapuso actress Max Collins at Janina Manipol.

Sinagot ni Rhian ang tanong kung bakit ayaw niya mag-join ng beauty pageant: “If you ever wonder why never dumaan sa isip ko ang sumali sa kahit anong pageant, dahil wala akong poise, composure or emotional control. Pang-drama lang talaga ako.”

Sa ngayon ay busy sa taping ng new teleserye niyang “Stage Wife” si Rhian.
