THE Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) generated a total of Php 14.2 million from the sale of 31 closed banks’ properties at its public bidding held last May 24, 2018 in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija. The bidding yielded an aggregate premium of Php 1.4 million against the aggregate minimum disposal price of Php 12.8 million. Sold assets consisted of 27 residential lots, three residential lots with improvement and a commercial lot with improvement located in Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, and Pangasinan.
Proceeds from the sale of closed banks’ properties are added to the pool of liquid assets of these banks for distribution to creditors and uninsured depositors in accordance with the rules on concurrence and preference of credits.
The expeditious liquidation of assets is one of the strategic directions of PDIC as liquidator of closed banks. To help ensure that recoveries from closed banks’ assets are maximized, PDIC sells assets via competitive biddings and auctions.
Unsold assets from public biddings may be acquired by interested parties via negotiated sale. Interested buyers are encouraged to visit the PDIC website at www.pdic.gov.ph and click the Assets for Disposal section for information on available inventory of assets for sale. Prospective buyers may also communicate with the PDIC Public Assistance Department at (02) 841-4630 to 31 or at e-mail address pad@pdic.gov.ph.
Those outside Metro Manila may call the PDIC toll-free hotline at 1-800-1-888-7342 or 1-800-1-888-PDIC. Inquiries may also be sent as private message at Facebook through www.facebook.com/OfficialPDIC.|#BALIKAS_News

SENATOR Cynthia Villar on Friday lauded the Philippine Environmental Science Association (PESA) for its role in addressing environmental challenges confronting the country.
Villar noted that PESA members, composed of professors and students, are not only concerned about the problems of the environment, but are committed towards finding solutions.
“The goal for which the PESA was organized is to strengthen the value of environmental science as an inter-disciplinary field in analyzing and providing solutions to the perennial environmental problems of the country,” said the chair of the Senate committee on environment and natural resources.
Villar was in this town as guest speaker of the 7th Annual International Conference on Environmental Science (ACES) held at the University of Eastern Philippines (UEP) here on June 13-15.
This year’s theme was “Environmental Science, Green Technology and Society: Pushing Boundaries Towards Sustainability”.
The senator said she believes that science research and technology play a very important role in solving various problems related to environmental degradation.
“I saw how science and technology, coupled with research and education, have paved the way in solving most of the problems and challenges of environment and agriculture sectors,” Villar added.
She expressed support for PESA’s pro-active stance to continuously upgrade and advance the level of environmental science research and actions to address the environmental problems.
Villar recognized participants for tackling key environmental topics and issues, such as climate change, biodiversity and conservation, disaster risk management and sustainable solutions.
“The input and research output of the participants in this conference, from the academe, (to) other stakeholders, research institutions, government agencies, (and) private organizations, will surely be very useful and helpful in finding solutions and implementing strategies to address environmental problems,” she said.
PESA is a consortium of higher education institutions that aims to strengthen the value of environmental science as an interdisciplinary field in analyzing and providing solutions to perennial environment problems in the country, in partnership with UEP and the University of the Philippines-Los Baños School of Environmental Science and Management.|PNA

BATANGAS City –SUMAILALIM sa trainor seminar sa Basic Life Support (BLS) and Standard First Aid ng Department of Health (DOH), Region IV-A Calabarzon, June 14, ang mga pangunahing responders ng lunsod sa panahon ng emergencies o kalamidad. Ito ay upang makapagturo sila sa mga concerned sectors kung papaano sumagip ng buhay bago pa man madala sa ospital ang isang taong nasa kritikal na kondisyon.
Ang mga responders na ito ay mula sa City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (CDRRMO), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Batan-gas City PNP, City Health Office (CHO), Philippine Coast Guard at Batangas Medical Center.
Itinuro rin sa kanila kung paano mag-assess, organize, grade, record at evaluate ng pagsasanay.
Sinabi ni Dr. Voltaire Guadalupe ng DOH Region 4-A Calabarzon na “nais po namin na pagkatapos ng training na ito ay magkaroon na po ang Batangas City ng sarili niyang mga trainors upang mas maikalat pa ang kaalaman tungkol sa BLS na hindi na kailangan pa kumuha ng taga labas at maari na silang mag-conduct ng sariling training.”
Aniya, higit pa sa pinaka-magaling na doktor at hospital ang maitutulong ng isang trained sa first aid at BLS sa agarang intervention o pagsaklolo sa isang taong nanganganib ang buhay.
Ayon sa isang participant, malaking tulong ang seminar na ito sa kanila dahil bukod sa nadadagdagan ang kanilang kaalaman ay makakapagturo pa sila sa komunidad, paaralan at barangay.|#BALIKAS_News

Faster connectivity improved business and tourism during Sarbay Fest
TALK about Philippine beaches, and world-famous Boracay quickly comes to mind. But it’s a province in Mindanao that holds the distinction of hosting what the Department of Tourism bills as the country’s “biggest beach party,” the Sarangani Bay Festival.
Held in the third week of May, SarBay Fest draws local and foreign tourists to outdoor events such as boat racing, skimboarding, beach soccer and volleyball, sand sculpting, all-night concert and partying.
While boosting tourism, the festival also brings a bonanza to local entrepreneurs.
Fisherman Rene Boy Sajulga, from the quiet barangay of Gumasa in Glan town, says he and his wife make brisk business on the shore, selling food and water.
Prepaid load in demand
Of late, another commodity in big demand is prepaid load. “Usually, our load wallet gets drained on the first day alone, the kids are very fast when it comes to buying load,” Sajulga’s wife says. Cellular and data communication are an integral part of the SarBay experience, she adds, and this means extra income for the family.
PLDT wireless arm Smart Communications Inc. (Smart) has been supporting the Sarangani Bay Festival since it began 12 years ago. Every year, Smart boosts the cellular and data connectivity in Gumasa to help improve the mobile and internet experience of SarBay Fest revelers.
The area further leveled up this year when Smart rolled out Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) technology, boosting the download speeds in Gumasa to as high as 40 Mbps. Festival-goers were able to stay connected with their families and share their SarBay Fest experience on social media while on the beach.
“Data signal this year is stronger,” confirms Devine Alberca, a student and SarBay Fest regular. “My friends and I were able to post live videos and stories on social media easily.”
Stronger signal, more customers
Daphne Garcia, a tourism officer from Davao and a SarBay Fest newcomer, says: “In my experience, in laidback and far-flung places, especially beaches, the signal is usually weak. But things are different here in Glan, my Smart would register more than 40 Mbps. I was really shocked and surprised!’
For local businesswomen Glicen Lou Monton, better connectivity translates to bigger sales volume and revenue for her food and beverage, garments, and events organizing enterprises.
“It’s a big help especially for food-related businesses like ours, because better mobile data experience will encourage our customers, like students, to stay and dine. So it is expected that sales will increase,” she says.
“Because connectivity is now part of daily life, customers wouldn’t come if they knew that the internet connection is slow. Some would order a little just so they can check internet speed, and would only order some more if you have good data signal or Wifi connection,” she says. Clearly, faster and more stable data connectivity in Glan is a big factor in the economic growth and commercial potential of the municipality.
LTE-A roll-out
Smart is accelerating its deployment of LTE, LTE-A and carrier aggregation across the country as part of Smart’s efforts to improve mobile data experience nationwide.
Carrier aggregation (CA) is a feature of LTE-A which enables the combination of two or more radio frequency bands in order to deliver much faster data speeds to mobile phone users. 2-Component Carrier (2CC) carrier aggregation features the combination of two frequencies, while 3CC involves three frequencies and 4CC, four bands.
Smart is doubling the number of LTE base stations to about 17,700 nationwide and raising the number of LTE-equipped cell sites to more than 6,800 this year, using frequencies that are compatible with CA-capable smartphones available in the market today.
Aside from Sarangani, Smart has also expanded its network coverage to include other high foot traffic areas such as tourist destinations Baguio, Sagada, and Batanes, in line with its commitment to the National Telecommunications Commission to bring high-speed mobile data using LTE, LTE-A and 3G to over 90% of the country’s cities and municipalities.
Parent company PLDT has committed historic levels of resources to support network transformation. Capital expenditure is expected to reach P58 billion this year, including allocations for the aggressive rollout of its fiber broadband service, which also supports the stepped-up deployment of the mobile network by providing high-capacity links for cellular base stations.|
