‘Long overdue’: Gatchalian backs creation of CAR
by Seth Cabanban
Valenzuela 1st district Rep. Rex Gatchalian has expressed his support for the creation of the Cordillera Autonomous Region (CAR), something he described as “long overdue”.
“The establishment of the Cordillera Autonomous Region has been long overdue. It is high time that we legislate this very important measure that will give Cordillerans the right to freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development,” the chairman of the House Committee on Local Government said on Thursday, Nov. 10.
The CAR has been a transitory coordinating agency since 1987, following President Corazon Aquino’s Executive Order (EO) 220. HB 3267, if enacted, would grant it autonomy.
The local government panel approved House Bill (HB) 3267 or “An Act Establishing the Cordillera Administrative Autonomous Region” on Nov. 10.
“I congratulate the authors of this measure for their fortitude in tirelessly pursuing its passage. We assure our Cordilleran brothers and sisters that this Committee will continue to fully support this measure until its final approval in the House,” Gatchalian said. He is likely to sponsor the measure in plenary, as chairman of the Committee on Local Government.
Abra Rep. Ching Bernos, Apayao Rep. Eleanor Bulut-Begtang, Ifugao Rep. Solomon Chungalao, Mountain Province Rep. Maximo Dalog Jr., Baguio City Rep. Mark Go, Kalinga Rep. Allan Mangaoang, and Benguet Rep. Eric Go Yap authored the measure.
“The collective aspiration of the Cordillerans for genuine autonomy is rooted on the right to self-determination of the people fueled by a long history of struggle for the recognition of their rights. It is high time that we make good on this Constitutional mandate, and allow the Cordillerans to determine their political status and to freely pursue their economic, social, and cultural development,” the authors wrote
In the 18th Congress, a measure that sought autonomy for the Cordillera Administrative Region was approved on the third reading and was transmitted to the Senate but fell short because of a “lack of material time”, as Gatchalian put it.

Multiply Social Network Now A Go After 9 Year Deadlock
Wazzup Pilipinas!
The nine-year deadlock is finally over.
After nine years of being closed, Prosus N.V. has inked a consensus among shareholders to reopen Multiply as a social networking site.
Multiply was a platform where people uploaded various media such as photos, videos, and blog entries, but its real charm among many users was its unlimited photo sharing. With the unlimited photo sharing feature, people upload massive amounts of photos without losing so much of the photos’ quality. People had these photos sorted into different albums, and segregated into different dates.
An agreement with Prosus will be signed tomorrow, September 28 to finalize the re-opening of the Multiply.com social network.
Resolving the problem
Getting all parties to agree is among Multiply CEO Stefan Magdalinski's targets within the first 100 days of Marcos's administration, and it involved engaging all stakeholders in meetings in order to reach a consensus. In a meeting, last Sept. 8, Multiply founder Peter Pezaris and former country manager for the Philippines Jonathan Madrid agreed that the website is necessary to recover and retrieve blogs, photos, and videos from 2004 to 2013.
Legal tussle
The Enchong Dee feature project in UAAP Magazine started on September 23, 2012, during the first semester of UAAP Season 75 hosted by the National University, and has been on hold due to legal issues and scheduling conflicts.
On May 6, 2013, Multiply Philippines officially announced it will permanently shut down.
On May 31, 2013, Multiply had ceased its operations and shut down entirely.
The long closure of the website lasted for 9 years, to rehabilitate and resolve the issues surrounding Multiply, including financial problems as well as to recover and retrieve hosted blogs, videos, and photos.
However, when President Rodrigo Duterte came to power on June 30, 2016, the website remains closed.
According to the sources, the website would remain shuttered when the president was still in office until June 30, 2022.
On April 1, 2019, the company issued a bankruptcy court filing which stated that it would no longer auction off its intellectual property, since its controlling lender planned to "the business behind the Multiply brand name" with their new mobile app, delivering old accounts, photos and videos from the old Multiply from it's launch in March 2004 to March 15, 2013, and establishing new opportunities. The company evaluated that selling its brand at auction is "not reasonably likely to yield a superior alternative."
Magdalinski said he had proposed to the website’s board plans and strategies which would include another set of efforts that should bring the company to profitability in the next couple of years.
“I’ve actually presented to the board some of the things that I like to do and because of the current struggles of the business when it comes to views, and correspondingly revenues. So an important pivot that we will do is, of course, we will still continue to offer social networking, but we want to maximize the assets that we have, that have by putting in more shows that more and more people will use the computer,” Magdalinski said in an interview.
It is expecting to resume its operations next year, after it announced President Rodrigo R. Duterte lifted the closure on August 22.
“Hopefully, next week basta ma-comply nila lahat ng requirement (I hope net week for compliant operators),” Multiply.com Philippines president Katherine Chloe S. de Castro-Cruz told reporters in a briefing Friday.
On October 15, 2019, the response of Chief Presidential Legal Counsel and Spokesperson Salvador Panelo, when asked about the bankruptcy and potential demise of e-commerce and social networking site Multiply.
There was no direct response when asked if the President's previous statements were true that he would approve the reopening of a website, Panelo said.
Such statements by the president were simply out of frustration.
The management announced that it would engage in a decade-long rehabilitation effort, including the importation of old and new features such as similar to Facebook Live until Multiply is reopened by June 1, 2025; however, there were plans to partially re-open within 2021 depending on the social networking portion.
On December 30, 2019, Duterte again warned Multiply CEO Magdalinski that syndicated estafa charges “have no bail” and that he was determined to see them in jail.
On January 2, 2020, President Duterte doesn’t just make threats, he will pursue the filing of syndicated estafa charges against the CEO and owner of Indonesian E-commerce and global social networking giant Multiply over financial difficulties and corporate rehabilitation, Malacañang said on Thursday.
“Pag sinabi ni Presidente, tutuluyan niya iyan (When the President says something, he will really do it),” Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in a Palace briefing.
It then began the arduous task of resuming its operations.
To recall, according to Senator Grace Poe-Llamanzares, Chair of the Senate Public Services Committee, and Palawan Rep. Franz Alvarez on the process to reopen Multiply as a social networking site, to compete with Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, and Twitter.
The Securities and Exchange Commission of the Philippines granted their application for an increase in capitalization and amendments to Multiply's articles of incorporation and by-laws.

This Facebook page has rare footages of Regine Velasquez, ‘80s PBA, and vintage T.V. commercials
The collection of Jojo Bailon, the administrator of the Facebook page View on the 3rd, includes a wide range of materials, from the arrival of Pope John Paul II to the trailer of the comedy film 'Bagets 2.' Photo by JL JAVIER |
In the ‘90s, a boy was part of a commercial by the Philippine Gaming and Amusement Corporation (PAGCOR) that was taped in a public elementary school in Cavite. The boy died due to dengue a couple of years after the commercial aired.
The boy’s family had been searching for a copy of the PAGCOR footage for years. The brother of this boy came across View on the 3rd, a Facebook page that shares old and new T.V. show clips, commercials, photographs, CDs, laser discs, and VHS tapes, featuring foreign and local celebrities and personalities, among many others. The brother then asked Jojo Bailon, the administrator of the page, if he had stumbled upon the PAGCOR video.
Bailon says that he told them he’ll try his best but could not guarantee to find it among the stacks of tapes that he has. “Eksacto mismo, ‘yun ang unang lumabas,” he says, recalling that he randomly selected a tape, played it, and luckily got it on the first try. He told the family, that the mom of the boy started crying, and Bailon says this was one of the more memorable engagements he’s had since starting the page.
Where it all started
Bailon attributes his collection back to his grandfather’s affinity for music. He says his grandfather grew up a poor man but eventually made his fortune by traveling from Laguna to Bicol and vice versa to trade goods.
“Yumaman [ang] lolo [ko] so he built a big house. We still have that house. It's over a hundred years old na in Laguna, in Cabuyao,” he shares. “What he did was he bought one band. In Laguna kasi, it's called musikero.”

He shares that, while growing up, his bonding time with his dad would typically be in their music room, which was filled with expensive equipment — from amplifiers to turntables. “He taught me how to listen to music,” Bailon says.
When the Betamax was first available to the market in the ‘70s, his dad was in on the trend right away. They also had equipment that boosted the signal to have better quality videos. Some of the recordings his dad ranged from the premiere of the noontime variety show “Eat... Bulaga!” on July 30, 1979, the arrival of Pope John Paul II in 1981, the assassination of former Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr. to the movie trailer of 1985 comedy film “Bagets 2.”
“He's a very busy man eh,” says Bailon of his dad. “He would record shows kasi you can put the timer eh and then he will watch them Saturday night and then the whole of Sunday the shows that he missed that's why we have those tapes.

When Bailon started working, he also picked up the habit of recording shows he liked; his favorite being “Ryan Ryan Musikahan,” a late-night musical show led by musician and composer Ryan Cayabyab that aired weekly from 1988 to 1995 on ABS-CBN. He continued to record and collect for his own pleasure.
(However, it also includes the recordings such as the Weekly Family Appointment with El Shaddai from 1992 to 2020, GMA's papal visit coverage "The Pope in Manila" in 1995 and "Ang People's Pope sa Pilipinas" in 2015, EWTN's "The International Rosary" in 1986 and "The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy" in 1996 shot at the Congregation of Marians of the Immaculate Conception at Eden Hill, also another version produced by Apostolate of Family Consecration with Jim Cowan and Vinny and Erin Flynn, the 2007 Nakhon Ratchasima Southeast Asian Games coverage "A Time for Heroes" on NBN (now PTV), Bench "Uncut: A Bolder Look at the Future" denim and underwear show last July 2, 2010 at the Araneta Coliseum and 25th anniversary denim and underwear show "Bench Universe" last September 13 and 14, 2012 at the Mall of Asia Arena, the best of Enchong Dee including "My Girl," Your Song presents: "My Only Hope" and "Boystown," "Katorse," "Tanging Yaman," "Magkaribal," "Maria La del Barrio, "Ina, Kapatid, Anak," "Muling Buksan ang Puso" and "A Love to Last.")
To recall, Mr. Dee's projects were recorded in VHS format using Sony 6-Head Hi-Fi AV Stereo.
By this time, Bailon wants to see El Shaddai leader Bro. Mike Z. Velarde, because he told me "I saw him on TV during the playback."

Three years ago, he took to Facebook to use it as a sort of cloud storage, just so when family and friends ask him about a particular video file, he could digitize the tape by putting it inside a DVD recorder, burning it into a DVD, insert it in his computer, converting it to MP4, uploading to Facebook, and sending the Facebook link to his family or friends.
Bailon also inherited most of his dad's music and video equipment, which he still uses up to this day. He also still needs some of the equipment, such as the DVD recorder, to digitize the tapes. Photo by JL JAVIER |
“Sabi ko shit, nahanap,” he recalls. “Sabi ko, ‘Can you please not share it?’ Sabi niya, ‘Why?’ Sabi ko, ‘It's only a place where I want to put my … it's like a cloud or something diba? Eh siguro hindi niya natiis, shinare niya.”
The page started to get a steady stream of followers since then. Now, it has over 11,000 followers, and one of the videos (“Rated K” episode featuring Erich Gonzales who had just won “Star Circle Quest” in 2005 at the time of airing) reached more than 1.5 million views. This, he says, was an exception since most of the videos that would gain a lot of views and engagement would be either a station ID, a commercial, an El Shaddai gathering, anything Regine Velasquez, or a PBA game of the past (as in circa Atoy Co and Alvin Patrimonio).
“I don't digitize everything,” he clarifies. “I still have the tape kasi for me, the tape is still the best storage media. Can you imagine? Forty years and it's still working.”

Senate on ‘total lockdown’ on Monday following COVID-19 infections
Jauhn Etienne Villaruel, ABS-CBN News
The Senate building in Pasay City will be on “total” lockdown on Monday to undergo “thorough cleaning and disinfection” following the COVID-19 infections of several senators and some staff, Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri announced Friday.
“I have instructed the Secretariat to conduct a thorough cleaning and disinfection of all Senate offices. For this reason, there will be a total lockdown of our Senate building, and all Senate employees shall work from home and need not report to the Senate on Monday,” Zubiri said.
Zubiri said Senate sessions would resume on Tuesday.
Senators JV Ejercito, Nancy Binay, and Joel Villanueva are the latest members of the Senate to catch COVID-19 this month.
Senators Alan Peter Cayetano, Imee Marcos, Cynthia Villar and Grace Poe were earlier infected with the virus.
Comelec urges Maguindanao residents to vote with plebiscite preparations underway
The Commission on Elections has designated September 17 of this year for the holding of the Maguindanao plebiscite to determine whether or not the province will be divided into two.
At the Maguindanao Plebiscite Coordinating Conference in Cotabato City earlier this week, Comelec chair George Garcia urged residents of Maguindanao to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming plebiscite. Residents are voting to ratify Republic Act 11550, which President Rodrigo Duterte signed in May last year, dividing the province into Maguindanao del Norte and Maguindanao del Sur.
The commission is also set to print 818,790 ballots for the plebiscite.
"We're calling on Maguindanaoans to go out and vote. This is for your future, not just one person. It's for your future... I believe that because of the love of Maguindanaoans in their province, because these are your aspirations, whether you really want to divide, or if you really don't want it, the important thing is always to be able to vote."
"It is not enough for Yes to win or for No to win enough. We should make sure that the people can vote... We will remember, always, sovereignty resides on the people."
Garcia also appealed to the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines to ensure the security of poll workers and remain vigilant against election-related violence and other violations.
A gun ban has since been implemented in the province as part of the government's security preparations ahead of the plebiscite.
"Sometimes, the electoral exercises that we know will be quiet are the ones that suddenly doesn't go well. So, let's not ignore that it's just a plebiscite... That's why I'm asking all of you, how can we came together in 2022 May [elections], that would be our coming together, our coordination for this in the upcoming plebiscite," Garcia said.
"That is my request, especially to the PNP and the ace AFP that I hope our election officers, election assistants and all election workers will be protected... I hope no lives will be lost or hurt because of this plebiscite."
A similar plebiscite was held in Palawan in March 2021, wherein a majority voted not to divide the province into three.

Comelec asks PNP, AFP to secure poll workers in Maguindanao plebiscite
Willard Cheng, ABS-CBN News
Commission on Elections (Comelec) chairman George Erwin Garcia on Thursday led the coordinating conference for the Maguindanao plebiscite next month.
Garcia was joined by Comelec commissioners Aimee Ferolino and Marlon Casquejo during the event held in Cotabato City.
According to the Office of the Comelec Chairman, security and preparations for the Sept. 17 plebiscite were discussed.
The plebiscite seeks to ratify the division of the Province of Maguindanao into two, to be known as Maguindanao del Norte and Maguindanao del Sur.
The Maguindanao plebiscite will use 818,790 ballots.
Garcia appealed to the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines to ensure the security of poll workers.
“Yun pong kahilingan ko lang, lalo na po sa ating PNP at sa ating AFP, na sana naman po ang ating mga election officers, election assistants, at lahat ng manggagawa sa eleksyon ay ma-protektahan," he said.
"Kahit paano po, ang kanilang security ay masiguro natin. Kahit paano, na sana walang buhay na mawawala o masasaktan dahil sa plebesito na ito,” he added.
The printing for the first batch of official ballots has commenced at the National Printing Office (NPO) in Diliman, Quezon City, Comelec said.
The poll body said the manual election system is used for the conduct of plebiscites, and ballots are accomplished manually by the voters by writing the answer for the approval or rejection of the proposed measure.
Former President Rodrigo Duterte last year approved Republic Act 11550 which divided the southern province.
The two provinces will be created upon approval by the majority of residents in a plebiscite, the charter reads.
