Atty. TONY (APA) ACYATAN150 basis points and restricting deposits of investment management accounts or the singular fund accounts usually offered to retail investors in the facility. The purpose then was to encourage the moneyed people to use their funds in economic activities that are beneficial to economic growth. But then, the risks of inflation subsequently came about!

APEC 2015: The Philippines will host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting next year. This early, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) launched programs in cooperation with the private sector to take advantage of opportunities that go with the hosting of this big international event. One of the main programs is the 23rd APEC Economic Leaders Forum which we will be leading.

DTI hopes to underscore therein the significance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in our countrys economy, and their possible integration into the global supply chain. With stronger

To paraphrase Shakespeare, a pork by any other name, would still be pork.

This is in essence what Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago recently pointed out in the 2015 budget passed by the Senate which voted 13-0 in favor.

Santiago argued that there are pork barrel-like insertions in the budget and this is in violation of the recent Supreme Court decisions declaring unconstitutional the Priority Development Assistance Fund or PDAF.

These funds, regardless of the name, may be considered pork barrel, because they are national funds used for local projects selected by legislators, and they are granted in lump sums, she said.

Like a knight in shining armor out to rescue the embattled budget, however, Sen. Chiz Escudero, brushed aside the woman senators accusations.

While there may be lump sum appropriations in the 2015 budget he said, they are not necessarily pork.

And so that was what transpired in the Senate the other week.

Ask any veggie, and he or she will tell you smell carnivorous.

That this kind of debate came up in the Senate, only shows that nothing is over yet on the PDAF issue.

Lawyers call the act of skirting the provision of law as circumvention.

We call this budgetary gobbledygook.If indeed there are pork barrel insertions

in next years budget, as shown in the PhP 37.3 billion lump sums appropriations to five government departments, that is clearly a pre-election preparation.

This is also shows that the Presidents Tuwid na Daan is actually crooked. He is not being forthright with the people he swore to serve with honesty. That is not transparency, that is obfuscation.

It is about time that a child among us tell President PNoy, he is naked after all. And smells pork.

SMEs the Philippines can draw supplies from global sources even as local enterprises may export abroad products that we can produce cheaper and with better quality. Philippine SMEs account for 99% of total economic entities, even as they provide 65% of domestic jobs.

ELECTIONS: My wife and I are regular voters in all the past national and local elections. But we were threatened (like other voters) with disenfranchisement if we dont re-register with COMELEC under their digitalized system (with picture to boot). So we went to one of Lucena Citys malls where the electoral office set up a temporary registration station. As old voters, we had our records checked using our senior citizens IDs.

The registration for new voters and the re-registration of old voters were systematic (patterned after the systems adopted by the NBI and DFA). After revalidation (through computerized records) of our voters registration we were endorsed to the digital photo-section where our photos and fingerprints were inputted into a computer. We were done in fifteen minutes! Amazed at the positive change, we asked when our Voters IDs will be issued. The curt answer maybe in one years time po. Aray ko!

GODS ADVICES: Be alert and watchful! We dont know when our time will come. So, stay awake!

(PICPA past president and Hall-of-Famer, and ACPAPP Lifetime Achievement Awardee).

LIQUIDITY: Our domestic liquidity (M3 in technical terms) continued to ease last month (October) even as the Bangko Sentral adjusted upwards the reserve requirements of bank deposits and special deposit accounts (SDA). M3 the broadest measuring stick of liquidity expanded by 15.4% to P7.208 trillion last month. The rate is slower than those for the previous two months (18.3% in August, and 16.2% in September, 2014).

There was a recorded expansion of credit to the private sector. Its good, because the loans during the month were channeled to key production sectors wholesale and retail trade, real estate, renting, manufacturing, business services, utilities and financial intermediation. On the other side of stratum, public sector loans also went up (to P1.07 trillion) as government deposits with BSP were withdrawn to pay maturing obligations.

POLICIES: Threats of inflation surface when money supply exceeds credit demands of the economy. To siphon in excess liquidity the Monetary Board raised the reserve requirements on deposits (which reduce the banks credit utilization of deposits that they received from their customers. The reserve requirements on deposits were increased by 200 points (2%), while the reserves for SDAs were raised by 0.25%,

The liquidity tightening was actually in response to the Monetary Boards trial moves last year of reducing the SDA rate by

exercise, drink lots of water. Above all, consult your doctor.

Remember that toxic burdens on the body can manifest into disease with time.

Question: How can I have a beautiful complexion?

Answer: The best way is to detoxify your body. Remove a buildup of toxins from within.

Try this proven regimen: Sweat it outExercise three times

a week, daily if possible. Increase green vegetable intake,

preferably raw, to 75 percent of your meal intake.

HydrateDrink 10-15 glasses daily.

Increase vitamin C intake to 1,000 mg daily.

Consider intravenous drip therapy of vitamin C and glutathione.

Have a cleaning facial once a month.

Try a 20-minute session inside an infrared sauna.

Question: What does it mean when you say You are what you eat?

Answer: There is a Doctrine of Signatures, meaning that every whole food is symbolic of a vital organ in the body.

If within nature there is a code, maybe we should heed the signs.

For example:

CarrotWhen sliced, it resembles the eye. Take note that carrots are rich in vitamin A which benefits the eyesight.

WalnutIt looks like a small brain. This nut is known as a helper to three dozen neurotransmitters in the brain.

FigsFilled with seeds, figs hang in a pair from a tree, resembling the scrotum. Figs stimulate the health and number of sperm cells.

Sweet potatoesResembling the pancreas (which produces insulin), sweet potatoes are the best food for diabetics as it brings down the glycemic index.

Avocados (like eggplant and pears)These look like the female and male organs. Research has proven that when a woman eats one whole avocado once weekly, it helps balance hormones, prevents cervical cancer and helps in reducing excess weight brought on by pregnancy.

GrapesWhen clustered together, they look like the shape of the heart. Every single grape looks like a blood cell. Todays research shows that grapes are a blood-revitalizing food benefiting the heart.

Grapefruit, oranges, citrus fruitsThey look like breasts. They contribute to breast health and the movement of the lymph within the mammary glands.

TomatoWhen sliced, it resembles a heart with four chambers. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, considered blood food.

Celery (bokchoy and rhubarb) They look like bones.

Trivia: Bones contain 23 percent sodium and celery contains 23 percent sodiumnatures message contained in food.

Kidney beansThey look like kidney replicas. These beans maintain kidney function.

This weeks affirmation: I am open to limitless possibilities

Many people are getting sick and we can do many things for a healthy living. The following are excerpts taken from the column of a health guru, Cory Quirino entitled Is nature sending us a message? , in the Philippine Daily Inquirer dated October 14, 2014 which are helpful:

So many questions about healthy living and so little time to answer them all. But yes, there is a practical answer for every practical question.

Learn a little more with me today. You can only benefit from it.

Question: I sleep early and hardly stay out late. But why am I so sickly? I am home most of the time because I am a hands-on mom of five kids.

Answer: There are many possibilities. For one, you could be stressed and overworked as a full-time mother.

But there are other areas you should explore, like the air you breathe or the food you eat.

Do you know that about 80 percent of any health challenge can be attributed to ones eating habits?

And that there is a chance to turn around your condition simply by making adjustments on the quality of your meals?

Are you eating enough vegetables? Are they organic?

Do you drink enough water? Do you exercise at all?One crucial truth about environmental

effects on ones health is the poor air quality within the home. A tropical climate can be damp. High humidity is a perfect condition for molds to accumulate.

If you are asthmatic, you must address the mold air levels in your home.

Solution: Ionizing air filters are now available.

Also, leaking roofs that damage ceilings can become damp and create a proliferation of molds.

Consider putting a water filter in your home.

Increase your vegetable intake,

MArISSE TrIA SAN FELIPE

A pieceof Wit

First, I would like to thank my publisher Ben Babar for having faith in me that I am never too old to continue proving my craft. In itself, writing is not just a passion but it is more than setting a fulfilling career.

I had columns in the past telling readers about the importance of reading. And over a year, I valued the things I learned from reading articles about a woman who built the National Book Store (NBS). This person herself who never ashamed telling the people that she never had a college degree. And this woman I am saying is Socorro Nanay Ramos who caught my interest reading the last article she wrote at the Philippine Star sometime last year. She retired as a writer when she turned 90 last 2013. The same time I embraced her as my new inspiration who said that she started doing columns at the age of 83. Her words inspired me with a golden thought as she said: Whether you want to start a career or you want to say sorry, remember..its NEVER TOO LATE. So guys! I dont regret, neither feels sorry that I am still here for my PIECE OF WIT to inculcate within me the joy and wonder in this journey; to bring fulfillment not only for myself but for others as well.

Somehow, it makes me sad, because I was averse to reading in the past. I should have achieved more if I was not a person who loved pleasure than read books. So..opposite of what I used to be, now I instigate reading to every young people. Im just thankful I have children who read a lot. And more thankful I have a granddaughter who loves books most. I remember reading The Alchimist by Paolo Coehlo which took me days before I finished the book. My 9 year old granddaughter took it just overnight! My eldest daughter who is her mom, would always buy books for her. While I am the strict mentor in English speaking. At home she cant speak bicol or tagalog, not to pretend that we are Americans, but because I knew its an investment. You reap what you sow. Im not surprised she is launching her first article, which she wrote in school recently during her journalism workshop at Naga Central School. My granddaughter is turning 10 on December 13.

I may have failed to become the person I wanted to be, I hope

NAGA CITY --- Vice Mayor Nelson S. Lega-cion of this city received copies of the Bible, writ-ten in Bikol, from the Philippine Bible Society in view of the centennial celebration of the transla-tion of the Holy Bible into the dialect of this region and the 115th Foundation Anniversary of PBS as a bible society.

Legacion said the Bibles, given to him on Nov. 26 at the Universidad de Sta. Isa-bel Auditorium will serve as the inspiration as well as the reason why Naga shall continue to strive to make the best better.

All the systems we have established in the city for the empowerment and in-

volvement of our constitu-encies in charting the citys future are all anchored on the principles of disciple-ship and servant-leadership shared by Jesus Christ, Legacion said.

In his speech, the vice mayor thanked the mem-bers of the Philippine Bible Society for being reliable partners of the city govern-ment in its programs on good and principled gover-nance.

It is refreshing to have someone as your orga-nization to remind us about the value of reading again and again the Bible to strengthen further our foundation. Naga, as seen in our practice, is in one with the Philippine Bible

I grew up reading books. I feel that I can't live without reading. Everyone calls me BOOKWORM.

How did I fi nd interest in reading? Well, when I was still a baby my Mom started reading me stories and she did that as I was growing up. Then fi nally when I was old enough to read books by myself, she let me explore it on my own. My mother, relatives and friends would always give me books. They just know how I love books more than toys. When we are in a mall, a treat

Without the ability to read, we would not know a thing or two. Reading help us add knowledge and information that we can use in a daily ba-sis. Most of kids today, dont fi nd interest reading books. They prefer playing games and read by using the latest technology like WATTPAD- a trend style of reading nowa-days. Even though it is very much trending I still prefer the old fashioned way which is for me, better than Wattpad,

The Budget Offi cer inEducational Development

by FrANCIA N. MArTINEZAdmin. Offi cer III (Supply)

DepEd, Iriga City

In any undertaking much more in a big agency, whether private or public, a budget offi cer is of prime importance. In him lies the day-to-day transactions, month by month and ever more crucial are the yearlong doings. That is how necessary and critical rthe budget offi cer is. If he is not careful enough he can even shoulder the blame of a companys poor undertaking. But budget offi cers, know-ing their roles are trained more than enough to ccope with the demands of their works and their bosses.

The budget offi cer is the logical choice and a key par-ticipant in any economic endeavor such as those point-ed for development.. He is backed up by a fi nancial and conditioned training and experience in common budget matters and must not have a vested a vested interest as a proponent of any particular development plan or proj-ect. This, in effect, is telling us that a budget offi cer is a very objective person and his position is one of trust. He is someone who has the capability to weigh things whether they need to be given rooms for inclusion in any program or not. He is never subjective in his decision so that his accountability cannot be questioned.

He is burdened by the responsibilities among which are creating fi nancial incentives, analyzing and/or assisting with creating individual development properly, reporting development agreements, monitoring compliance of on-going development agreement and facilitating the devel-opment and ongoing economic development programs.

Addendum to his bigger tasks and responsibilities are : he must justify means of estimating economic and fi scal impact of a plan or strategy before they are imple-mented. He assesses fi nancial and economic impact of proposed plan, participate in the development of various fi nancial incentive tool , identify the general fi nancial cost and fi nancial impact and risk of using the capacity of the tool used, coordinating internal analysis of development programs and assisting in creating an economic develop-ment plan or strategy.

It cannot be said that the job of aa budget offi cer is easy but with a budget offi cer armed with the proper cre-dentials and a full knowledge of the responsibilities of his position, the agency where he serves in that capacity can say that the agency cannot go wrong and neither will the programs planned by the agency.

In the education sector with many projects and pro-grammed designed the year round duration or for a lon-ger time, the fi nancial offi cer is indeed a kay person. The budget offi cer takes the challenge of his position with con-fi dence.

PCA Bicol Regional Manager III Mateo B. Zi-pagan initiated the orga-nization of a Provincial Taskforce on Coconut Scale insect (COCOLISAP) , in cooperation with the Pro-vincial Government of Camarines Sur headed by Governor Miguel Migz Villafuerte and invited rep-resentatives from the me-dia, private and government agencies to be a part of the newly-formed taskforce.

someday my granddaughter will not just be the echo of myself, but the realization of my passion and dreams. A month ago she said to her mom..Before I used to dream of becoming a pilot. Now, I wish to become a famous writer and a book author someday. I felt graciously proud as I wrote her in a private message on FACEBOOK: Just believe in your dream. Have FAITH and just be humble. Use writing as a blessing from God, and value your craft as your own giftedness. Make praises on others achievements; NO, NO TO ENVIOUSNESS.

And when you want something, all the universe CONSPIRES in helping you to achieve it.. says Paolo Coehlo in his book THE ALCHIMIST. While Nanay Socorro Ramos said: Whenever I want something I really work hard to get it. There is no such thing as SWERTE!

bookWorM . . . ebooks or other hi- tech ver-sion of reading. Why?...OH, HOW I LOVE THE SMELL OF BOOKS! Reading brings me to a new world. It equips me with so much information and enhances my imagination. It is also my way of relaxation. It takes away all the stress I had for the day. It is an expo-sure to new words, widens my vocabulary which I can use in my studies & conversing with people. Reading also enhanc-es my memory and help me better in my writing skills.

Using hi-tech gadgets for gaming may be handy and lighter, but too much expo-sure to it may cause radiation which is bad for our health. In my case, reading through my tablet cause me headaches that is why I prefer reading using a real book, may it be hardbound or softbound.

If reading cannot be de-veloped, then how could we speak and communicate ef-ficiently? We learned words from books. I like reading very much, you can tell that with the number of books in my room. I dont judge peo-ple who choose to read thru gadgets because its still reading. But it should be done less, because for me its harmful to our health. Reading is one of the most important thing in our life to which some people dont find it convincing. But it is true! If not for reading, we cannot SPEAK INTEL-LIGENTLY, THINK and KNOW things around us. It must be part of our life. We were made to live fully & think for greater things. We should grow up reading, as long as we breathe READ!

LEGAZPI CITY -- At least 15,000 people from various sectors joined the foot parade and rally against drug abuse here on Friday afternoon in obser-vance of the Drug Abuse and Control Week, prompt-ing City Mayor Noel Ro-sal to declare the residents of the city are up against drugs.

This is a clear testimony that Legazpenos are ready to fight and crack down on drug addiction in the community and make this city a drug-free locality, he said.

Rosal was joined by Vice

Mayor Vitorrio Roces and other city officials led the ac-tivity which had for its theme A message of Hope: Drug use disorders are preventable and treatable. No to Marijua-na Legalization.

The participants included barangay officials, students from different schools and universities, police and mili-tary personnel, city govern-ment officials and employees, personnel of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, non-government organiza-tions, government agencies, senior citizens and women, among others.

The four-kilometer march started at the citys down-

town area in Barangay Rizal and ended at the Penaranda Park in Old Albay District.

The Drug and Preven-tion and Control Week is an annual activity of the city administration as part of the support to the enforcement of anti-drug abuse policies, programs and projects of the national government to keep away the people, especially the youth and minors, from the dangerous effects of ille-gal drugs.

Rosal expressed gratitude for the huge turnout of par-ticipants, saying, it was the biggest attendance so far in the history of the city.

He said the grand rally

would serve as an informa-tion tool to the public and make them more aware of the ill effects of illegal drugs to the society and to the health

of the people.The city chief executive

urged all officers and mem-bers of the Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Councils (BA-

DACs) of the 70 villages of this city to strictly enforce the citys curfew ordinance and closely monitor youth activi-ties in their respective areas.
