DBM recommends Northrail deactivation
The Budget department is recommending the deactivation of North Luzon Railways Corp. (Northrail) under a government plan to trim the number of state-owned firms.
The Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG), Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno said, is currently also considering the abolition or mergers for other government-owned and –controlled corporations.
“For… the Northrail, we are recommending for its deactivation because it makes a lot of sense,” Diokno told reporters in an interview.
Northrail, a subsidiary of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), was created in 1995 to develop construct, operate and manage a railroad system that would serve Metro Manila, Central Luzon and Northern Luzon.
A project to rehabilitate and upgraded an existing line ended up being shelved in 2011 over corruption allegations and Northrail was subsequently embroiled in an arbitration case filed by a Chinese contractor.
The Duterte administration has revived the project but placed it under the Department of Transporation, prompting the BCDA last year to call for Northrail’s dissolution.
Diokno said deactivating a GOCC means the firm will no longer receive a budget from the national government, which means that it will no longer be able to operate.
This is different from abolition, which requires the repeal of the law that created the GOCC.
“[T]here are agencies with 11 board members but only have six employees. It does not make sense. It should be abolished to save on the office space, the cars etc.,” Diokno noted.
GOCCs were initially said to number 158 but the GCC has said that this is being revised following reviews that found several in the list to be research institutions or already inoperational. Others were added once these were “discovered”, the agency said.
As of mid-2016, 108 GOCCs are listed as under GCG.
The agency has said that its long-term goal is to reduce the number of state-run firms to less than 90.

Gov’t to deactivate NorthRail GOCC
The Governance Commission for Government-Owned or -Controlled Corporations (GCG) has recommended for deactivation the state-run firm that was formed to oversee the controversial NorthRail project.
Budget Secretary Benjamin E. Diokno, an ex-officio member of the GCG, told reporters recently that deactivating the North Luzon Railways Corp. meant that the GOCC will no longer be provided a budget, hence cannot operate anymore.
“It was not yet abolished; I think you need a law to repeal it,” Diokno said.
A flagship project of the Arroyo administration, the 80-kilometer railroad was to link Caloocan City with an international airport in the former Clark Airfield in Pampanga.
When he took over in 2010, former president Benigno Aquino III ordered a review of the contract between NorthRail and the China National Machinery and Equipment Corp. Group (CNMEG) to build the railway.
This has been hounded by allegations of overprice, its cost rising from an initial $503 million to about $2 billion, according to reports.
A 2005 study by the UP Law Center showed that the NorthRail contract had been improperly packaged as an executive agreement to evade public bidding.
In 2007, the Monetary Board approved a $500-million long-term loan from ChinaEximbank that would finance the first section of Phase I of the project.
The completion of the first phase of the project, a 42-kilometer train line that will connect Caloocan City to Malolos City in Bulacan province, was earlier moved to 2013.
In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that CNMEG-NorthRail agreement was not an executive agreement, and that CNMEG was not immune from suit.
It remanded to the Makati regional trial court for further hearing a case questioning the validity of the contract, and the loan agreement.

DBM moves to ‘deactivate’ Northrail
Non-performing GOCCs to be abolished
By Chino S. Leyco
The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) wants to stop government’s support to the North Luzon Railways Corp. (Northrail) starting next year as the Duterte administration plans to abolish or merge nonperforming state-owned companies.
Budget Secretary Benjamin E. Diokno said they are recommending the “deactivation” of Northrail, citing the Department of Transportation-attached agency has more number of board members than employees.
“We are recommending deactivation of Northrail because it makes a lot of sense. For example, the agency has 11 board members and only six employees, which is absurd,” Diokno told reporters in a recent interview.
Asked about the term “deactivation,” Diokno explained that it means the Duterte administration will give zero budget to Northrail, noting the DBM has no authority to abolish any government-owned and controlled corporation (GOCC).
Northrail is under DOTr and a subsidiary of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority. The state-owned firm is in charge of constructing, operating, and managing railway systems servicing Metro Manila, Central Luzon, and Northern Luzon.
Meanwhile, Diokno also said that the Duterte administration is planning to reduce the number of GOCCs to save up office space, vehicles, taxpayers money, among others.
The DBM chief cited that among the GOCCs eyed to be merged are the housing agencies, while they are also contemplating on dividing the mandate of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
“Rightsizing does not really mean reduction, in fact we are thinking about a Department of Housing and Urban Development, so the housing bodies will be merged. Another proposal will be Department of Local Government, split the local government and homeland security,” Diokno said.
Diokno is currently pushing for the passage of Rightsizing the National Government Act of 2017 that once passed into law will abolish executive agencies with overlapping or redundant operations and functions.
According to Dikono, this will result in ineffective and inefficient in the delivery of public services.
Diokno, meanwhile, emphasized that the program is not about forced retirement or separation of affected regular employees.
Regular personnel whose positions would be affected in the implementation of the law shall have the option to avail of retirement benefits and separation incentives, or be placed by the Civil Service Commission in agencies needing additional personnel.

LRT Line 1 North Extension
The LRT Line 1 North Extension Project (Closing the Loop) involves the construction of a 5.71 km elevated line fromMonumento Station of Line 1 to North Avenue Station of Line 3. The scope of works include: (1) Civil and Architectural Works, including construction of 3 new stations (Balintawak, Roosevelt and North) as well as improvements in Monumento Station, modification of pedestrian overpasses and the provision and installation of all the required elevators and escalators thereat, (2) Electro‐Mechanical Works (except rolling stock) shall have parameters which are the same as that of CAPEX II‐ A.
The Project is divided into the following construction packages, namely:
1. Package A: Construction of Viaduct and Pedestrian Overpasses
Package A1 – Construction of Viaduct from Caloocan to Balintawak Area, Pedestrian Overpass and Walkways
Package A2 ‐ Construction of viaduct from Balintawak to Trinoma Area
2. Package B: Construction of Stations and Station Modifications
3. Package C: Electro‐Mechanicals Works
EMS – 1: Signalling
EMS – 2: Telecommunications
EMS – 3: Automated Fare Collection System
EMS – 4: Trackworks
The estimated project cost is P6,322.85 Million with a project duration starting from May 2007 and the two stations operational in 2010. The construction of Common Station in SM North is targeted to commence in the 2nd quarter of 2011 and will be completed by 2nd quarter of 2012. The North Extension Project is financed from domestic funds through appropriations from the General Fund as well as proceeds from the flotation of the National Development Company (NDC) Bonds.
In December 2009, LRT Line 1 was already physically connected with MRT 3 thus closing the loop between LRT 1 and MRT 3 systems.
Commercial operation of Balintawak and Roosevelt Stations to the revenue operation of Line 1 in 2010.
The last phase of this project is to build a Common Station that will connect the Line 1 and MRT Line 3, and in the future with Line 7 as well.
Construction of the common station had been put on hold due to legal issues.
The cancellation and deferment of the project was contributed to the arrest and detention of former president and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo from a controversy, the impeachment trial, conviction, removal and death of former Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona and outgoing plunder trial case of former senators Jinggoy Estrada and Ramon Revilla, Jr. and the arrest warrant against Senator Leila de Lima for allegedly violating the drug trafficking law.
Even if the physical infrastructure connecting the two rail systems are in place and successfully tested, commuters have to go down at the Roosevelt station of LRT-1 and walk over or take a tricycle or jeepney for the one kilometer distance to the Trinoma terminal of MRT-3.
SM Prime Holdings had earlier given the Light Rail Transit Authority P200 million for “naming rights” over the station.
But Trinoma, of Ayala Land, is already enjoying the actual naming rights in the public mind of the MRT terminal. Ayala also raised some issues over how the common station was to be organized.
On July 30, 2014, the SMPHI obtained a TRO from the high court to prevent the then Department of Transportation and Communications from transferring the common station near Trinoma.
The Supreme Court has extended the restraining order it issued against the relocation of the common station.
DOTC and LRTA’s petition to lift the TRO was denied
The TRO enjoined the LRTA and DOTC from proceeding with the transfer of the common station in front of SM City North EDSA to a new site in front of the Trinoma mall.
Based on the decision, the court cannot turn a blind eye to the serious implications of a change in the location of the common station.
It must undergo the legal process if the DOTC wants to start the construction of the common station to its new location for the sake of the riding public.
The SC also deferred action on SM Prime Holdings Inc.’s petition for injunction in Pasay Regional Trial Court.
The SMPHI had entered into an agreement with the LRTA on September 28, 2009 to put up the common station in front of SM City North EDSA.
Compromise talks were initiated by Abaya, but a resolution was never reached until President Aquino III stepped down last June 30. At one point, Abaya had suggested building two common stations—one each to be located near SM North Edsa and Trinoma—to urge SM to withdraw its lawsuit.
The two-station plan was eventually abandoned and deferred as private sector stakeholders said it would inconvenience commuters.

SM to open mall in Tuguegarao on October 12
SM Center Tuguegarao Downtown will be SM's 2nd mall in the Cagayan Valley region
SM Prime Holdings Incorporated, the country's largest mall operator, will open SM Center Tuguegarao Downtown on Thursday, October 12. This will be its 65th mall in the Philippines.
SM Prime told the local bourse on Tuesday, October 10, that its newest mall will provide an additional 37,000 square meters (sqm) in gross floor area (GFA) to its portfolio, bringing its total GFA to 8 million sqm in the Philippines.
SM said its new mall in Tuguegarao is strategically located at the corner of Luna and Mabini streets, which are main thoroughfares in the major urban city in the north. (READ: FAST FACTS: SM Investments Corporation)
SM Center Tuguegarao Downtown is set to open with 90% of its space lease-awarded. Stores include SM Hypermarket, ACE Hardware, Surplus, Watsons, Miniso, Simply Shoes, and BDO Unibank.
"The opening of SM Center Tuguegarao Downtown will provide SM Prime a sturdier foothold in the northeastern part of the Philippines, along with our other mall in the region, SM City Cauayan in Isabela," SM Prime president Jeffrey Lim said in the disclosure.
"We are very excited [for] how this new mall will give a unique shopping experience to this urbanized city in northern Luzon and how it will contribute further to the development of [Cagayan]," Lim added.
In 2017 alone, SM Prime has launched malls in Puerto Princesa in Palawan, Cagayan de Oro, Pasay City, and Antipolo in Rizal. (READ: Doing business under Duterte? Philippines' richest family shows how)
Mall operations remained the top contributor to the net income of SM Prime, which increased by 15% to P7.79 billion during the 2nd quarter of the year.
This brought the bottomline of the country's leading integrated property developer to P14.39 billion in the 1st half of 2017, 14% higher from P12.59 billion in the same period last year.
The SM group aims to have developed 10.96 million sqm of shopping malls; 139,000 residential units; 2,500 leisure homes; 460,000 sqm of leasable space; and 2,187 hotel rooms by 2018.

"The opening of SM Center Tuguegarao Downtown will provide SM Prime a sturdier foothold in the northeastern part of the Philippines, along with our other mall in the region, SM City Cauayan in Isabela," SM Prime president Jeffrey Lim said in the disclosure.
"We are very excited [for] how this new mall will give a unique shopping experience to this urbanized city in northern Luzon and how it will contribute further to the development of [Cagayan]," Lim added.
In 2017 alone, SM Prime has launched malls in Puerto Princesa in Palawan, Cagayan de Oro, Pasay City, and Antipolo in Rizal. (READ: Doing business under Duterte? Philippines' richest family shows how)
Mall operations remained the top contributor to the net income of SM Prime, which increased by 15% to P7.79 billion during the 2nd quarter of the year.
This brought the bottomline of the country's leading integrated property developer to P14.39 billion in the 1st half of 2017, 14% higher from P12.59 billion in the same period last year.
The SM group aims to have developed 10.96 million sqm of shopping malls; 139,000 residential units; 2,500 leisure homes; 460,000 sqm of leasable space; and 2,187 hotel rooms by 2018.
Duterte forms committee to organize papal visit and world youth day
The national committee is tasked with ensuring the smooth visit of Pope Francis in January 2018
About 3 months before the expected visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines, President Rodrigo Duterte formed a national organizing committee to ensure the smooth flow of his visit for the world youth day.
In a memorandum released Friday, October 3, Duterte called for the creation of the Papal Visit and World Youth Day 2018-National Organizing Committee (PVWYD-NOC) to coordinate preparations. The Committee is chaired by Executive Secretary Salvador Meldidea and vice-chaired by Foreign Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano.
Other members include:
On Wednesday, Duterte also announced that the Filipino peacekeepers, who successfully escaped a standoff with Syrian rebels in the Golan Heights, have been tasked to secure the Pope.
“As instructed by President Duterte, all heads of the different government departments, local governments as well as the private sectors are encouraged to participate and coordinate all efforts to make sure that the visit of His Holiness in our country next year will be well organized and peaceful,” Meldidea said in a statement.
Among the duties of the committee are ensuring cooperation between public and private sectors, particularly with the central committee of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP); peace and order; and traffic management.
The memorandum, effective immediately, also established two local executive committees – one in Manila and another in Leyte and Marawi – where the Pope is expected to visit. The local committees will “serve as the on-site full-time, day-to-day operations arms of the PVWYD-NOC,” said the statement.
Pope Francis will be making a stop in Leyte and Marawi to visit disaster-hit victims. His visit comes three years and eleven months after Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) killed more than 6,000 people, mostly in Tacloban City in Eastern Visayas and five months after Marawi siege killed 974 militants, 12 militants captured, 168 government forces killed (12 by friendly fire), 1,400+ government forces wounded and 87 civilians dead.
This will mark the first time in three years – only the third time ever – for a pope to go beyond the Philippine capital, Manila, as the first Latin American pontiff vows to reach out to the world's “peripheries.”
The Pope is expected to visit the Philippines on January 17 to 22, 2018. His trip will be the second by a Pope since Pope John Paul II's visit in 1995 and himself in 2015.

Committee approves bill promoting urban agriculture
The House special committee on food security chaired by Rep. Leo Rafael Cueva (2ndDistrict, Negros Occidental) on Tuesday approved a substitute bill seeking to promote integrated urban agricultural development in all metropolitan areas nationwide to address food security concerns.
The unnumbered bill titled “Integrated Urban Agriculture Act” substituted House Bills 2818, 4337, 4354 and 4422 authored by Reps. Estrellita Suansing (1st District, Nueva Ecija), Orestes Salon (Party-list, Agri), Michael Romero Ph.D. (Party-list, PBA), and Harlin Neil Abayon III (Party-list, Aangat Tayo), respectively.
Suansing said the bill seeks to institutionalize integrated urban farming in the highly urbanized cities and municipalities nationwide. This in turn will help address food security concerns and regenerate ecosystem functions.
Suansing, chairperson of the committee on ecology, said world population has been projected to double in 50 years. Relatedly, studies have shown that new land will be needed to grow enough food for everyone, she said.
“Urban agriculture and vertical farming will not only clean our environment and further avoid climate change, but also provide residents with safer, healthier food, at the same time keep farmers in business. Furthermore, urban agriculture and vertical farming will help reduce poverty,” said Suansing.
Salon said that while the Philippines was hailed as one of the fastest growing economies in Asia for gaining 6.9 percent domestic growth product (GDP) in the first quarter of 2016, there is undeniable food shortage in the country as shown by its dismal ranking of 74th among 109 countries studied in the 2015 Global Food Security Index.
“Urban agriculture is a food-producing activity that is community-based and would definitely help an urban area in its quest for sustainable development,” said Salon.
The bill declares it is the policy of the State to reaffirm the fundamental right of every person to adequate food and be free from hunger. As such, the achievement of self-sufficiency and sustainability in food production and security is hence adopted as a primary State policy.
Toward this end, the State shall develop climate change resilient communities in the metropolitan areas through the promotion of modern, appropriate, cost-effective and environmentally safe agriculture technologies to ensure food security, promote a healthy citizenry, and advance an improved quality of life for urban dwellers.
The measure defines integrated urban agriculture as the development paradigm that encompasses principles, management, technologies, and the policies relating to the practice and application of agricultural production of food and goods in urban areas.
It refers to food security as a situation wherein foods are available and affordable at all times and where all people have access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life.
The bill provides that urban agriculture shall apply to all urban spaces such as idle, government or private lots or buildings, available land resources in state or private universities and colleges suitable for growing crops and raising poultry and livestock, and for agriculture.
It mandates the Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary to establish an office to be known as the Office of Urban Agriculture (OUA) to be under the DA. The OUA shall formulate the implementing guidelines, programs and operating principles consistent with government policies and objectives of the Act.
It also mandates the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries (PCAF) to monitor and ensure proper implementation of the Act. The PCAF shall have as members the Department of Health (DOH) Secretary, National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) Chairperson, Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP) Chairperson, representative from the private sector who has expertise in urban farming and vertical farming, and Lead Convenor of the Urban Agriculture Practitioners Network of the Philippines.
The PCAF shall ensure that programs established by the Act are implemented in ways consistent with the goal of poverty reduction, food security and healthy eating habits in urban communities.
Meanwhile the OUA, in coordination with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and the DOH shall develop the research agenda on urban agriculture in the country’s metropolitan areas.
Idle and/or abandoned government lots and buildings owned by either the national government or local governments or available land resources in state colleges and universities shall be considered for growing crops, raising livestock, and producing food.
Safety standards, good agricultural practices, and handling practices must be emphasized and promoted at all times. The OUA, DOST, DENR, DOH, and the local government units (LGUs), together with the pertinent agencies shall oversee the promotion of agriculture and minimize risks of microbial food hazards.
The bill also mandates the inclusion of urban agriculture in the academic curriculum for elementary, secondary and tertiary level students of both public and pivate academic institutions offering courses in Agriculture, Practical Arts, Home Economics and other agriculture-related subjects. A course curriculum on gardening shall be developed and included in the regular curriculum of elementary and secondary education.
For universities and colleges, urban agriculture shall form part of the required period of time spent by students in the National Service Training Program or the Citizens Military Training.

Salceda: PNR South long haul project on track for 2022 opening
LEGAZPI CITY — The Philippine National Railways (PNR) South Long Haul Project, spanning some 581 kilometers from Manila to Matnog, Sorsogon, is now on track towards its target opening by second quarter of 2022.
“Dagos po an Bicol Express (the Bicol Express pushes through),” Albay 2nd District Rep. Joey Sarte Salceda announced here last week.
He based his announcement on the project’s revised funding structure approved by the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) board recently.
The project, originally proposed years ago by Salceda, now forms part of the Duterte administration’s flagship projects under the massive infrastructure “Build Build Build” program.
It is envisioned as a backbone of economic development designed to enhance the connectivity of major airports and seaports in Southern Tagalog and Bicol Region.
From a proposed budget of PHP171 billion originally, and later PHP185 billion, it is now allocated PHP299.4 billion, one of the government’s biggest infrastructure investments.
Salceda, who is senior vice chair of the House committees on appropriations and ways and means, said some PHP800 million and PHP7 billion have been appropriated for the project in the GAA 2016 and GAA 2017 budgets, respectively, of Department of Transportation’s (DOTr), not PNR’s as announced previously, and another PHP3 billion has been requested by DOTr for FY 2018.
The project is also included in the first basket of projects to be financed and built with the assistance of China. A Memorandum of Understanding setting out the scope of China’s assistance for the project will be signed during the ASEAN Summit in November 2017.
Proceeds from the loan will become available under GAA 2018’s ‘Unprogrammed Appropriations’ in addition to the PHP3 billion DOTr has already requested for 2018. Implementation works for the project are ongoing, especially for right-of-way acquisition.
Consultations have already been held with Bicol local chief executives and lawmakers, and the DOTr have been working with HUDCC, NHA, SHAFC, and PCUP towards implementing the resettlement of the families that will be affected by the project.
Based on recent changes, its Commuter Line segment which spans 72 kilometers with 23 stations, now starts from Solis-Hermosa in Manila to Los Baños, Laguna. The Long Haul segment picks up from Los Baños and runs through Batangas, Quezon and the Bicol provinces of Camarines Sur and Albay to Sorsogon.
Salceda said the PNR South Railways is now “a priority investment project of the government” and ia a vitally urgent infrastructure for Southern Luzon. It was approved and strongly recommended by the Bicol Regional Development Council in 2015, during Salceda’s term as chairman.
When completed, it will vastly improve connectivity and efficiency among Southern Luzon’s urban centers and regional growth hubs and thus enhance productivity in the industry, services and agriculture sectors.
It is seen to further boost Bicol’s tourism industry by as much as 30 percent which forms part of the predicted 24 percent economic returns it will bring to the countryside when fully operationalized, he added. (PNA-PR)

5,000 laymen volunteer to help distribute Holy Communion during Luneta Mass
VOLUNTEER Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHCs) and ushers were reminded to safeguard the sanctity of the Eucharist during the Concluding Mass to be led by the Holy Father at Luneta Park on Jan. 21.
Fr. Genaro Diwa, liturgy head of the Archdiocese of Manila, told around 6,000 volunteers during their general assembly Saturday (Jan. 6) to emulate Pope Francis’ service to the Church.
“Ito po `yung ibig ng Simbahan lalo na sa ating mga maglilingkod, na bago tayo pumunta sa Luneta, ay napagnilayan na natin, para pagdating natin doon at pinakinggan natin ang Santo Papa, alam na natin, at maisasapuso na natin kung ano pang mapakikinggan natin sa kanya’t mapapalawig natin ang katotohanang ito: mercy and compassion … Hindi naman po lingid sa inyong kaalaman na si Pope Francis, magmula noong siya ay nagsimulang akayin tayo bilang isang Simbahang Katolika, ay ito na ang nangibabaw sa kanyang paglilingkod sa Simbahan,” Fr. Diwa said during the meeting at the El Shaddai International House of Prayer in Parañaque.
Mercy and compassion makes us “human,” Fr. Diwa said, citing the parable of the prodigal son. “Hindi porke’t naglilingkod tayo, bagama’t kayo ay naka-polo at nasa harap ng altar, animo tayong mga Diyos na at amoy Diyos. Madalas tumatakbo tayo sa Diyos palayo tulad ng alibughang anak. At ang bawat kasalanan [ay] paglayo sa Diyos [at] pagsira sa pagkatao,” he said. “Bago tayo pumunta sa Luneta sa darating na Jan. 18, sana maging tao tayo, may awa at habag.”
Eight billion people are expected to flock to Luneta for Pope Francis’ final Mass in the country before he leaves for the Rome the following day. Around 500,000 priests from all over the the world and 250 local and foreign bishops will be con-celebrating the Holy Father.
Priests will give Holy Communion near or around Luneta’s Quirino Grandstand, while 5,000 EMHCs will be spread throughout the park. EMHCs from the Archdiocese of Manila and the dioceses of Novaliches, Caloocan, Cubao, Pasig, Parañaque, and Antipolo offered help to give Holy Communion to an estimated 2.5 million faithful.
Fr. Marthy Marcelo, coordinator of the liturgy committee of the Papal Visit Central Committee, said the goal of the volunteer EMHCs would be to give Holy Communion in an orderly manner, protect the consecrated hosts from desecration, and secure the “communion tents.”
The following communion tents, each named after the different titles of the Blessed Virgin Mary, will be installed from Roxas Boulevard to Maria Orosa Street and other areas: Tent 1 (Our Lady of Guadalupe) at the elevated area near the food court and Parade Grounds; Tent 2 (Ina Poon Bato) at the middle portion of the elevated area near the statue of San Lorenzo Ruiz; Tent 3 (Our Lady of Peñafrancia) on Roxas Boulevard and South Drive; Tent 4 (Nuestra Señora de Guia) near Manila Hotel and Burgos Street; Tent 5 (Neustra Señora del Pilar) at the right side of the San Lorenzo Ruiz statue; Tent 6 (Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu) at the Burgos area; and Tent 7 (Our Lady of Piat) in front of Manila Hotel.
Tent 8 (Our Lady of Caysasay) will be on Kalaw Street; Tent 9 (yet to be named) also on Kalaw Street near the National Historical Commission; Tent 10 (Our Lady of La Naval) at the Noli Me Tangere Garden; Tent 11 (Immaculate Conception) at the National Library; Tent 12 (Our Lady of Lourdes) behind the Rizal Monument; Tent 13 (Our Lady of Manaoag) near the Central Lagoon Fountain; and Tent 14 (Our Lady of Assumption) at the end of Maria Orosa Street.
Tent 15 (Our Lady of Mt. Carmel) will also be located on Maria Orosa Street; Tent 16 (Our Lady of the Abandoned) opposite the Central Lagoon Fountain; Tent 17 (Nuestra Señora de Salvacion) near the Chinese Garden; Tent 18 (Our Lady of Consolacion) on Burgos Street near Rizal Park Library; Tent 19 (Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje) on Roxas Boulevard at the end of Burgos Street near the Light and Sound Theater; and Tent 20 (Our Lady of Peace) near the statue of Jaime Cardinal Sin.
Each tent will have 3,000 EMHCs and 3,000 ushers, and will serve around 4,968,000 communicants. Portable restrooms and medics will also be stationed near the communion tents. Gena Myrtle P. Terre

Fr. Marthy Marcelo, coordinator of the liturgy committee of the Papal Visit Central Committee, said the goal of the volunteer EMHCs would be to give Holy Communion in an orderly manner, protect the consecrated hosts from desecration, and secure the “communion tents.”
The following communion tents, each named after the different titles of the Blessed Virgin Mary, will be installed from Roxas Boulevard to Maria Orosa Street and other areas: Tent 1 (Our Lady of Guadalupe) at the elevated area near the food court and Parade Grounds; Tent 2 (Ina Poon Bato) at the middle portion of the elevated area near the statue of San Lorenzo Ruiz; Tent 3 (Our Lady of Peñafrancia) on Roxas Boulevard and South Drive; Tent 4 (Nuestra Señora de Guia) near Manila Hotel and Burgos Street; Tent 5 (Neustra Señora del Pilar) at the right side of the San Lorenzo Ruiz statue; Tent 6 (Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu) at the Burgos area; and Tent 7 (Our Lady of Piat) in front of Manila Hotel.
Tent 8 (Our Lady of Caysasay) will be on Kalaw Street; Tent 9 (yet to be named) also on Kalaw Street near the National Historical Commission; Tent 10 (Our Lady of La Naval) at the Noli Me Tangere Garden; Tent 11 (Immaculate Conception) at the National Library; Tent 12 (Our Lady of Lourdes) behind the Rizal Monument; Tent 13 (Our Lady of Manaoag) near the Central Lagoon Fountain; and Tent 14 (Our Lady of Assumption) at the end of Maria Orosa Street.
Tent 15 (Our Lady of Mt. Carmel) will also be located on Maria Orosa Street; Tent 16 (Our Lady of the Abandoned) opposite the Central Lagoon Fountain; Tent 17 (Nuestra Señora de Salvacion) near the Chinese Garden; Tent 18 (Our Lady of Consolacion) on Burgos Street near Rizal Park Library; Tent 19 (Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje) on Roxas Boulevard at the end of Burgos Street near the Light and Sound Theater; and Tent 20 (Our Lady of Peace) near the statue of Jaime Cardinal Sin.
Each tent will have 3,000 EMHCs and 3,000 ushers, and will serve around 4,968,000 communicants. Portable restrooms and medics will also be stationed near the communion tents. Gena Myrtle P. Terre
Netizens weigh in on Ubial’s CA rejection
Minutes after Dr. Paulyn Jean Ubial’s rejection as Secretary of Health (SOH), the words “DOH Sec” landed fifth spot on Twitter’s list of trending topics.
Social media users have different reactions on the rejection of Ubial, who has been a public health servant for nearly 30 years.
Many expressed sadness over the rejection of Ubial, including Sen. Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito.
“I am biased for career individuals who have already given many years of service to the gov’t. Sad that Sec. Ubial was rejected by the CA,” the politician tweeted using his verified Twitter account, @jvejercito.
“It was expected but still shocking for politicians to reject appointment of Ubial as Secretary of Health. She is the best that we can have,” wrote Twitter user @monsplp.
“COA rejected Gina Lopez, Ma’am Judy Taguiwalo, Ka Paeng Mariano and now, Dra. Paulyn Ubial. And we have Mocha Uson as ASec? Get outta here,” said @thegiogeorge.
“She was very supportive of HIV/AIDS campaign in DOH,” @vinceliban stated with a sad face.
Some, on the other hand, approved of the decision of the CA.
“DOH deserves a far better head,” wrote F. Tree Hugger.
“For once, I agree with CA. Good riddance!” said FB user J. Capistrano.
“Good. So many competent than Ubial. She is intelligent but her approach to health care and governance in the ground is not effective. They need someone brilliant but strong person to implement properly,” M. Paredes stated.
While some wondered about the next head of the Department of Health (DOH).
“With Ubial’s rejection by the CA, I wonder who becomes the next health secretary,” @mockingjason tweeted.
Others have been mentioning names of “doctors who deserve to be the next DOH chief,” including DOH Assistant Secretary Eric Tayag and social media personality and public health servant Dr. Willie Ong.
The Commission on Appointments (CA) today rejected the ad interim appointment of Ubial. Senator Gregorio Honasan, chair of the CA health committee, said 13 CA members voted “not to proceed” with Ubial’s confirmation. Honasan stated that Ubial’s achievements were outweighed by the issues raised by her oppositors.

Caloocan fire linked to MRT-7 project? Residents think so
Fire hit a barangay in Caloocan City early Sunday morning, with residents blaming it on arsonists and linking it to the MRT-7 project, GMA News' Bernadette Reyes reported on 24 Oras on Monday.
Four suspicious looking men were suspected to have started the fire that occurred in Barangay Pangarap Village in Caloocan past 2 a.m. on Sunday.
"May apat na kalalakihan — 'yung isa po parang medyo mga military cut po ang buhok — naglagay po ng anim na galon ng mga gasolina na may halo po na pulbura, ignition equipment, 'yung parang mitsa, and then sinindihan po nila 'yun," Barangay 182 Councilor Emmanuel Llorca said.
Llorca said the fire could have been started by a local developer to evict the residents in the area and clear the way for the construction of the planned MRT-7.
"Gusto nila, lahat ng madadaanan ng MRT-7, matanggal po 'yan along Araneta Avenue and Banaba Street," Llorca said.
The 24 Oras report said developers denied any knowledge and involvement in the fire incident, but said they are open to communicating with barangay officials to help investigate the matter. They did not give any further comment.
For its part, the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) said several similar incidents have already been reported, but no cases have been filed yet.
"Iniimbestigahan po namin 'yan lahat, kung anong pinagmulan. Kung ito'y sinadya, kailangan namin ng witness kung namukhaan nila 'yung nag-sunog. Kasi kung na-find out namin na arson 'yung kaso, sasampahan namin ng kaso," FO1 Ronald Samillano said. —Jon Viktor D. Cabuenas/KBK, GMA News

China funding for long-haul rail project seen available in 2018
The Department of Transportation is targeting to secure loan commitments from China in 2018 for the funding of a long-haul railway line that will connect Manila to Matnog, Sorsogon, in the Bicol region of southern Luzon.
Cesar Chavez, DOTr undersecretary for rails, said the project, formally known as the Philippine National Railways South Long Haul project, was among the “first basket” of infrastructure deals to be funded and built with China’s help.
He said on Friday that a memorandum of understanding between Manila and Beijing would be signed during the Asean Summit in November this year.
“After the loan agreement for the project is signed in 2018, the loan proceeds will become available under GAA [General Appropriations Act] 2018 unprogrammed appropriations,” Chavez said, referring to funding for the 2018 national budget.
On the government’s “Build, Build, Build” online portal, the PNR South Long Haul is expected to cost around P151 billion to build. It is a 581-kilometer standard gauge railway line, which mainly involves the “complete reconstruction of the legacy PNR railway into a single track, at-grade railway.”
“The railway will connect cities, international seaports and economic zones, allowing for faster transportation of passengers and freight,” according to the government website.
Chavez said the PNR South Long Haul project would be operational by the second quarter of 2022, or before President Duterte’s term ends.
“Implementation works for the project are also ongoing, especially for right-of-way acquisition,” he said. Chavez noted that between P800 million and P7 billion have been appropriated for the project for the 2016 and 2017 budgets, respectively. He said another P3 billion had been requested for 2018.
The PNR South Long Haul project is one of three railway projects approved by the board of the National Economic and Development Authority last Sept. 12.
Also given the go-ahead was the PNR South Commuter line, a 72-km railway system that will run from from Manila to Los Baños, Laguna. The PNR South Commuter project, which will also be financed via an official development assistance (ODA) loan of yet to be determined origin, has a budget of P134 billion and is slated for completion by December 2021.
Also approved by the Neda Board chaired by President Duterte was the P355.6-billion Metro Manila subway project, which will run from Quirino Highway in Quezon City, to Taguig and end at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport complex in Parañaque City.
The DOTr said the plan was to start construction by end-2018, with completion seen by 2025.
The country’s first subway will be funded by a loan from the Japan International Cooperation Agency, with signing targeted around November this year. It will be a 40-year loan with an interest rate of 0.1 percent and a 12-year grace period.

DOTr eyeing blacklist of MRT maintenance provider
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) is considering to blacklist Metro Rail Transit (MRT) maintenance provider Busan Universal Rail Inc. (BURI) from entering into any contract with the government amid the recent breakdowns of the railway system.
The DOTr has reiterated its position that it will terminate the maintenance contract of BURI, arguing that it was void from the beginning.
In an inquiry by the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability last week , DOTr Undersecretary for Legal Affairs and Procurement Reinier Paul Yebra said his office has already recommended the termination of the BURI contract and is now awaiting report verification by the MRT-3 management.
The department also plans to file charges against those involved in the MRT maintenance contract before the Office of the Ombudsman.
MRT officials likewise denied the claims of BURI that it did not bill the government for two Vehicle Logic Units (VLU) amounting to P4 million.
During the hearing, they presented documents from BURI that would prove that the firm has billed the government for the 2 VLUs and installed them in cars no. 6 and 63.
A VLU, which costs P2 million each, is part of the Automatic Train Protection system which controls the speed and brakes of a train to avoid overspeeding, keeps safe distance between trains, and applies brakes to avoid collisions.
It was also disclosed that BURI was only issued its Certificate of Incorporation from the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) after it was awarded the MRT maintenance contract.
“DOTC awarded the maintenance contract to BURI on Dec 23, 2015 but such consortium was only registered with SEC January 4, 2016. Hindi lang fake ang spare parts. Fake din ang contract (Not only the spare parts are fake but also the contract),” Pampanga Rep. Aurelio ‘Dong’ Gonzales said.
The committee asked the MRT-3 management to submit all documents including the maintenance contract signed during the previous administration and a list of names involved in the approval of the contract for the next hearing.
It also directed the MRT management to submit its own investigation report.
The DOTr recently withheld the payment of the VLUs due to the failure of BURI to provide the necessary supporting documents such as the Factory Inspection Report and Certificate of Origin.

DOTr clarifies Metro Manila subway project sked
The Department of Transportation on Sunday clarified that the construction of Metro Manila’s first subway system would start in the latter part of next year, contrary to reports that it would already start next month and aggravate traffic conditions in the coming holiday season.
The DOTr was reacting to social media posts and comments saying residents and motorists should brace themselves for monstrous traffic jams because of the project, with the worst supposedly expected in Parañaque City.
In a statement, the department said the groundbreaking for the depot, training center and the first stations of the Japan-funded Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP) is scheduled in the third and fourth quarters of 2018, after which construction will follow.
What will happen next month, it said, is the signing of the exchange of notes (EN) between the Japanese and Philippine governments on the MMSP, after the project was approved by the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) board on Sept. 12.
The signing will take place at the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit in Manila, with President Duterte and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as witnesses.
“The EN will set out Japan’s commitment to finance MMSP, including the terms for such financing,” the DOTr said.
The 30-km MMSP is among the flagship infrastructure projects under the Duterte administration’s Build Build Build Program. The subway is expected to be running partially by 2022, and fully operational by 2025.
The proposed route of the MMSP Phase I or the Central Zone starts at Mindanao Avenue-Quirino Highway in Quezon City and ends in FTI, Taguig City, with a proposed depot in Barangay Ugong, Valenzuela City.
There will be 13 underground stations traversing six cities: Valenzuela (for the depot), QC, Pasig City, Makati City, Taguig, and a small portion of Parañaque City. —Jerome Aning

MPIC says P7.3-B deal for Calax inked soon
INFRASTRUCTURE conglomerate Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC) will soon sign a P7.3-billion contract with Leighton Contractors Philippines Inc. for the construction of the second segment of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (Calax).
Luigi L. Bautista, who sits as president at MPCala Holdings Inc., said his group targets to seal the deal for the construction of the Cavite portion of Calax with Leighton in November.
Signing the deal in the said month means that the contractor can start building the road by the first quarter of 2018.
“So, by January, we’ll start,” Bautista said in an interview over the weekend.
The contract for the construction of the Laguna segment of the expressway project was inked in March with D.M. Consunji Inc. (DMCI).
For her part, Public Works Undersecretary Maria Catalina E. Cabral said the government is committed to deliver the right-of-way to the company to complete the whole expressway in two years’ time.
“We’ve already acquired the right-of-way. The marching order for us is to finish our programs under the term of President Duterte. The target completion for Calax is two years from now,” Cabral said.
She said the delivery of the needed easement is as scheduled, but declined to disclose how much right-of-way has been delivered so far.
“We’re on time, significantly with the construction time,” Cabral said.
Calax, a 47-kilometer thoroughfare that will link the Manila-Cavite Toll Expressway and the South Luzon Expressway, aims to enhance trade and socioeconomic activities in the Southern Tagalog region.
MPCala Holdings, a unit of Metro Pacific, won the right to financing, design, construct, operate and maintenance of the entire four-lane toll road for P55.9 billion.
The project will include the construction of centralized toll plazas, a toll-collection system, viaducts and bridges. Metro Pacific holds a 30-year concession to 2050.
Luigi L. Bautista, who sits as president at MPCala Holdings Inc., said his group targets to seal the deal for the construction of the Cavite portion of Calax with Leighton in November.
Signing the deal in the said month means that the contractor can start building the road by the first quarter of 2018.

“We’ve already acquired the right-of-way. The marching order for us is to finish our programs under the term of President Duterte. The target completion for Calax is two years from now,” Cabral said.
She said the delivery of the needed easement is as scheduled, but declined to disclose how much right-of-way has been delivered so far.
“We’re on time, significantly with the construction time,” Cabral said.
Calax, a 47-kilometer thoroughfare that will link the Manila-Cavite Toll Expressway and the South Luzon Expressway, aims to enhance trade and socioeconomic activities in the Southern Tagalog region.
MPCala Holdings, a unit of Metro Pacific, won the right to financing, design, construct, operate and maintenance of the entire four-lane toll road for P55.9 billion.
The project will include the construction of centralized toll plazas, a toll-collection system, viaducts and bridges. Metro Pacific holds a 30-year concession to 2050.

SM set to open 2 new malls this year
SM Prime Holdings Inc., the country’s leading shopping mall operator and developer, plans to open two more malls in the Philippines before the end of the year, bringing its total outlets to 66 with eight million square meters of retail space.
SM Prime chief finance officer John Ong said in an interview at the sidelines of the COL Financial Property Market briefing the company would launch next week SM Center Tuguegarao Downtown in the Cagayan Valley region. The mall will have 30,000 sq. m. of gross retail space.
Ong said the company will also launch SM Center Lemery in Batangas province by December, bringing the group’s total mall openings this year to six.
SM Prime this year launched SM CDO Downtown Premier in Cagayan de Oro, S Maison at Conrad Manila in Pasay City, SM Cherry Antipolo in Rizal and SM City Puerto Princesa in Palawan.
Ong said the company remained on track with its five-year plan of establishing a combined 10.5 million sq. m. of retail space from mall operations both here and in China starting in 2013.
SM Prime operates seven malls in China with 1.3 million sq. m. of retail space. Its biggest mall in China is SM Tianjin offering 540,000 sq. m. of retail space. It had a soft opening in in December 2016.
Ong said the company would open the second phase of Tianjin after the first phase, which offered roughly 180,000 sq. m. of retail space, was nearly 90 percent leased out to tenants.
Meanwhile, Ong also said SM Prime was finalizing an e-commerce venture that would enable shoppers to select items online and pick up or collect the purchased items in the malls.
Ong said the company was considering plans to team up with an e-commerce developer for an e-commerce platform to launch the “click-to-brick” program.
The company plans to launch the venture in the fourth quarter of the year in time for the holidays.
Ong said despite development of e-commerce, Filipinos still want to go to the malls.
“Filipinos don’t go to the malls just to shop but to do other things, like bond with their family, watch a movie, for leisure or entertainment,” she said.

==Doctrine==
The JMCIM Apostolic doctrine believes in three manifestations in one GOD: as God the Father in creation, as Son of God in redemption, and as Spirit of God in regeneration.
They also adhere to the [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal]] formulation of [[baptism]], whereby believers are baptized in the name of [[Jesus Christ]], commonly referred to as [[Jesus' Name doctrine|Jesus-name baptism]], rather than using the [[Trinity|Trinitarian]] formula, and promote Pentecostal standards of holiness in conversation, appearance, and way of thinking.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.upci.org/about.asp|title=Doctrinal Views|date=2010-07-06|publisher=United Pentecostal Church International}}</ref>
The church also follows the Pentecostal worship practices of spending many hours in worship and singing praises to God.
As a charismatic group, the Jesus Miracle Crusade believes in [[speaking in tongues]] and [[faith healing]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Brouwer|first1=Steve|last2=Gifford|first2=Paul|last3=Rose|first3=Susan D.|title=Exporting the American Gospel: Global Christian Fundamentalism|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781136672194|url=https://books.google.com.ph/books?id=6UNdAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA97|accessdate=21 November 2016|language=en}}</ref>

==Doctrine==
The JMCIM Apostolic doctrine believes in three manifestations in one GOD: as God the Father in creation, as Son of God in redemption, and as Spirit of God in regeneration.
They also adhere to the [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal]] formulation of [[baptism]], whereby believers are baptized in the name of [[Jesus Christ]], commonly referred to as [[Jesus' Name doctrine|Jesus-name baptism]], rather than using the [[Trinity|Trinitarian]] formula, and promote Pentecostal standards of holiness in conversation, appearance, and way of thinking.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.upci.org/about.asp|title=Doctrinal Views|date=2010-07-06|publisher=United Pentecostal Church International}}</ref>
The church also follows the Pentecostal worship practices of spending many hours in worship and singing praises to God.
As a charismatic group, the Jesus Miracle Crusade believes in [[speaking in tongues]] and [[faith healing]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Brouwer|first1=Steve|last2=Gifford|first2=Paul|last3=Rose|first3=Susan D.|title=Exporting the American Gospel: Global Christian Fundamentalism|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781136672194|url=https://books.google.com.ph/books?id=6UNdAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA97|accessdate=21 November 2016|language=en}}</ref>
