Too good together to be so apart these days
and now more than ever
we need to talk face to face
we stopped moving forward
and now we're some place else
but the more we fool each other
the less we fool ourselves
Cause our hearts never lie
they just feel the love
Try so hard to deny
There's no reason to act like we don't care
when the truth is always there
Oh hearts never lie
Why should we
This whole thing is crazy
Building walls to keep out the pain
when there's no changing
mistakes already made
So let's start all over
one emotion at a time
Beginning with this feeling
that we've never lost inside
Cause our hearts never lie
they just feel the love
Try so hard to deny
There's no reason to act like we don't care
when the truth is always there
Oh hearts never lie
Why should we
Does the word love scare you away
Does forever seem too long to stay
Now it's time we end this nowhere charade
and a real good place to start
is to listen to your heart
Cause our hearts never lie
they just feel the love
Try so hard to deny
There's no reason to act like we don't care
when the truth is always there
Oh hearts never lie
Why should we

Can't You See

You took me wrong just because we kissed
And now I don't know how to say goodbye
I know it's wrong when you're holding me like this
Still won't you stay, let me love you for awhile
You know I'm not that strong when I see you smile
Can't you see
This is all a big mistake
I should try and walk away
But I need someone to hold me
And I know there's no way that this can last
Still I know that if you ask me to
I know I would stay
Tonight, just for tonight
You look at me and you don't understand
You know I'm not the one that could fill your dreams
I can't believe that this is how I am
Still won't you stay, let me love you for awhile
You know I'm not that strong when I see you smile
Can't you see
This is all a big mistake
I should try and walk away
But I need someone to hold me
And I know there's no way that this can last
Still I know that if you ask me to
I know I would stay
Tonight
I love the way you watch me
I love you the way we move
But in my heart I know
I'll never be in love with you
Can't you see
Can't you see
This is all a big mistake
I should try and walk away
But I need someone to hold me
And I know there's no way that this can last
Still I know that if you ask me to
I know I would stay
Tonight, just for tonight
Lacson sees implementation of national ID system this year
The national ID system may be implemented this year after the bill proposing it hurdled bicameral conference, Senator Panfilo Lacson said on Wednesday.
Lacson said the bicameral committee has agreed to adopt the Senate’s version of the Philippine Identification System Act with minor amendments and suggestions from the House of Representatives.
Once ratified by both chambers, the bill will pass into law by the end of June or even earlier as it was an enrolled bill, according to Lacson.
“Kasi ‘pag ‘di pinirmahan in 30 days mag-lapse into law. So give or take by June end or before end of June, batas na ‘yan,” he said.
The country’s first national ID system has an initial funding of P25 billion.
Lacson said he hopes President Rodrigo Duterte would mention the national identification law in his third State of the Nation Address in July.
“This is a landmark legislation. It’s been languishing in both Houses for 18 years,” he said.
Lacson said the national identification card would be beneficial to Filipinos as it could serve as a “back up” ID.
“At least mababawasan ang katakot-takot na ID sa bulsa at bag ninyo. Pag transact ng business it will be very convenient,” he said. /muf

Palace welcomes approval of PH ID system bill
Malacañang welcomed the approval by the bicameral conference committee of the bill seeking to establish the Philippine Identification (ID) system
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a text message that the Palace finds the recent development a good news.
“That’s good news! It’s a priority administration bill,” Roque said in a text message to Palace reporters Wednesday afternoon.
The bicameral committee approved the Senate version of the bill Tuesday night. According to Senator Panfilo Lacson, only minor amendments were made to Senate Bill 1738 or the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) Act of 2018.
“They agreed to adopt the Senate version with minor amendments. May suggestion sila. Basta substantially Senate version yan (They have suggestions. But, substantially it is the Senate version),” Lacson said.
“Ie-enrol. Enrolled bill. Then pag enrolled ang bill, punta sa Malacañang. Within 30 days kailangan pirmahan (The bill will be enrolled. Then it will go straight to Malacañang where it needs to be signed within 30 days,” he added.
Lacson said that the implementation of the bill will be this year. It has an initial funding of P25 billion. He also hopes that Duterte will report about the National ID law during his third State of the Nation Address (SONA) in July.
“I hope so [it gets mentioned in the SONA]. This is a landmark legislation. It’s been languishing in both Houses for 18 years,” he said.
In March this year, Roque said he believes that President Duterte will most likely sign the bill due to the overwhelming support for a national ID system.
“I believe so, because in the last Cabinet meeting, there was an overwhelming consensus for the need for the national ID system,” the Palace official responded when asked if the President will approve the law.
“And there’s already a budget allotted in the 2018 national budget for the national ID,” he added.
Duterte, during his visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia last year, addressed the desire of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) for the Philippines to have a national identification system just like in Saudi Arabia. He said then that it would be “good” to have a national ID in the country.
The proposed Filipino Identification System will consolidate all government-issued ID systems into one to improve government services and limit red tape in government transactions. It is also seen to lower costs, streamline transactions, and provide ease and convenience.
The first time it was proposed was during the time of former President Fidel Ramos in 1996 through Administrative Order 308 but was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court (SC).
In 2005, former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo mandated government agencies, through Executive Order 420, to streamline and harmonize their ID systems under a Unified Multi-Purpose Identification System. The SC this time upheld the legality of the said EO.
However, the opposition to the proposal revolves on the perceived threat to security and violation of privacy by the government’s collection of personal information. (Argyll Cyrus B. Geducos)

Marriott makes Cebu comeback
AFTER ending its two-decade partnership with the Ayala group last year, international hotel chain Marriott will be back in Cebu.
Marriott International and Intercontinental Resort and Lifestyle Inc., a subsidiary of Cebu’s Tanchan Corporate Group, signed an agreement early this month to open a 241-room Courtyard by Marriott Cebu.
Construction of the new property is expected to begin later this year and will be completed by the second quarter of 2021, in time for the celebration of the 500th anniversary of Ferdinand Magellan’s arrival in Cebu.
This will be the second Courtyard by Marriott-branded hotel in the Philippines after Courtyard Iloilo, which is opening this month.
Paul Foskey, Asia Pacific chief development officer of Marriott International, said they are excited about the brand’s return to Cebu, having had a successful run in the past two decades.
“The signing of Courtyard by Marriott Cebu marks an exciting new chapter for us in expanding our presence in the Philippines, adding to our robust pipeline, as we anticipate the needs and expectations of the next generation of trailblazing business leaders and travelers whose work and life are fueled by their passions, and who are always moving forward in pursuing their personal and professional successes,” said Foskey, in a statement.
The new Courtyard by Marriott Cebu will be located in downtown Cebu City.
It will be part of a new, 31-storey mixed-use property with retail and residential facilities, and will have easy accessibility to major corporate demand generators such as business process management (BPM) services, banks and other companies.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Marriott International to bring the Courtyard by Marriott to Cebu,” said Giovanni Carlo Tanchan Ong, in behalf of the shareholders of Intercontinental Resort and Lifestyle Inc.
“In this project, we are combining our decades of experience in the Philippine market with the prestige and global brand recognition of the Marriott International name to offer business travelers to Cebu a hotel like no other. We are excited to be bringing the Courtyard by Marriott brand name to Cebu because of its stellar international reputation as being an established brand that’s fueled by passion,” he added.
The Courtyard by Marriott Cebu will showcase the brand’s signature modern-classic interior design, with spaces and amenities that allow for interaction, collaboration, and exploration.
Guests will enjoy spacious, well-appointed guestrooms and suites, a 24/7 fitness center and seamless, intuitive technology throughout the hotel.
It will also feature an array of food and beverages—the 100-seat Cebu Kitchen / Momo Cafe, which will feature a semi-open kitchen with live stations and a display buffet; The Market that will offer guests the convenience of grab-and-go facilities, and; The Courtyard that will offer traditional dining options.
The hotel will also have a pool bar that will offer refreshments in the hotel’s outdoor swimming pool and sun deck area.
Besides the F&B, Courtyard by Marriott Cebu will also feature a 400-square-meter ballroom, as well as two multi-purpose meeting rooms complete with state-of-the-art facilities for casual and formal events, functions, and business meetings.
The Courtyard by Marriott is a new addition to the growing number of foreign brands that are coming to Cebu—Ascott Limited (Citadines and lyf), Dusit Thani Princess, Radisson Red, Sheraton, and Holiday Inn.
Members of the Hotel, Resort, and Restaurant Association of Cebu (HRRAC) said they welcome the entry of big hotel players as their presence would lift Cebu’s image in the global map.
“When tourists Google Cebu and see these international hotel chains, it increases the value of Cebu as a destination,” said HRRAC president Carlo Suarez.
Courtyard by Marriott is present in 1,100 locations.
