Malacaang says government welcomes decision of Moro Islamic Liberation Front to form political party

The Aquino administration welcomed the decision of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to form a political partythat will run in future elections, a Palace official said on Monday.

Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte issued the statement during the regular press briefing in Malacanangon Monday following reports that the MILF led by chairman Al Hadj Murad Ebrahim, will form a political party to field

candidates in future elections.

"The government welcomes the political plans of the MILF for 2016. As you all know the road map towards theestablishment of the Bangsamoro ends in 2016 and, understandably, the MILF needs to prepare for that to make thenecessary preparations," Valte said.

Valte said the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the MILF are determined to finish during the term of PresidentAquino the implementation of the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro, the new autonomous political entity thatwould replace the 23-year old Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).

"Well, work on the three annexes are continuing and the panel will provide updates to the media as soon as they areavailable. Allow us to say at this point that both parties are determined to complete the implementation of the BFA orthe Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro and its annexes within the term of the President so as not to leave anyunfinished business for the next administration," Valte said.

The GPH and the MILF are now working to complete the annexes on Wealth-sharing, Power-sharing andNormalization, to complete the comprehensive peace pact for the establishment of the Bangsamoro.

In December last year, the President issued Executive Order No. 120 creating a Transition Commission that will draftthe proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law provided for in the Framework Agreement signed by the government and theMILF on October 15, 2012.

The EO will provide a mechanism for authentic democratic collaboration in the crafting of a proposed law where theaffected people themselves are actively involved.

Among the commissions major work is to coordinate with Congress and other government agencies to craft the basiclaw that will pave the way for a Bangsamoro region in Mindanao.

Last February 11, President Benigno S. Aquino III led the formal launching of the Sajahatra Bangsamoro project aimedat accelerating the transition of conflict-affected communities into productive areas in Sultan Kudarat in Maguindanao,while the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) iron out the final peace agreement with the Muslimsecessionists.

"Weve seen this in the socio-economic initiatives that weve launched the Sajahatra, and I would defer to SecretaryDeles and to the members of the panel if any sort of assistance towards their political plans have been discussedamong themselves," Valte said. PND (js)

Valte said the families of the slain soldiers will receive pension, burial and financial assistance, among others.

"Ang importante sa kanila yung pension dahil killed in the line of duty po sila. So makaka -receive po, kung may asawana po sila, iyong kanilang may-bahay na naiwan, makukuha ang kanilang pension; at kung wala naman ay samagulang mapupunta," Valte said.

"Pangalawa, meron din po silang educational assistance na matatanggap. Kung meron pong naiwang mga anak,makatatanggap ng scholarship sa kolehiyo," she noted.

The government condemned the attack perpetrated by armed men against government troops, Valte said.

Valte also said authorities are now conducting investigations to identify the perpetrators.

The government also condemned the attack perpetrated by armed men against the PNP's elite Special Action Forcethat resulted in the death of seven policemen in Allacapan, Cagayan province on Monday morning.

"I dont want to comment first on the identity, primarily, because we are still getting reports on the incident. However,what I can confirm at this point, is that meron nga po tayong seven na fatalities at meron po tayong pito na wounded,"she said.

Valte said the PNP is currently conducting pursuit operations against the perpetrators.

Reports said that a truck carrying members of the PNP-SAF hit the landmine while travelling in Barangay Cataratan at

8:30 a.m. After the land mine exploded, armed men fired at the PNP-SAF members.

"Without divulging the operational details of what the actions are, what I can say at this point, is that they areheightening their operations. Pinapaigting ho ang paghabol sa mga may sala sa mga pangyayaring ito," she said. PND(js)

The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) is helping Filipino fishermen who were affected by themaritime disputes in the West Philippine Sea, a Palace official said on Monday.

Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said during the regular press briefing in Malacanang that the BFARhad already deployed aggregate fishing devices called "payao" in the waters off western Luzon to help local fishermenwho were affected by the maritime disputes in the Scarborough Shoal or Scarborough Reef also known as PanatagShoals and Bajo de Masinloc.

"Iyong mga payao po na tumutulong doon sa mga mangingisda natin ay nandun pa para hindi na sila lumayo mula sapampang," Valte said.

The payao, each composed of a metallic float --an anchor made of stone, rope and leaf fronds-- will enable small-scale fishermen catch big fish without having to go to the Scarborough Reef.

Valte said the BFAR had also encouraged local fishermen to find alternative fishing grounds.

"Hindi naman ibig sabihin na wala na pong ibang lugar," she said.

The Aquino administration remains steadfast in using diplomatic solutions in resolving the maritime disputes in theWest Philippine Sea, Valte said.

She said the government opted not to respond to provocative statements and provocative actions that would tend toescalate the situation.

"We have consistently reiterated that what is ours, remains ours, but there is a deliberate choice to avoid or to notrespond to any provocative actions. Weve decided to take it to the proper forum. Weve chosen to take it to the arbitraltribunal and we are pursuing that particular action," Valte said.

The government will adhere to a rules-based approach in finding a peaceful solution to the maritime disputes,including the Ayungin Shoal, Valte noted.

"I will have to defer to the DFA on that. As far as I know, they have already filed the diplomatic protest," she said.

According to news reports, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said the Philippines has filed a diplomatic protestto complain Chinas encroachment into the Philippines established maritime borders, with the entry of at least three

Tanggap ng gobyerno ang pasiya ng Moro Islamic Liberation Front na magtayo ng isang lapiang pampulitika,sabi ng Malacanang

Tanggap ng administrasyong Aquino ang pasiya ng Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) na magtayo ng isang lapiangpampulitika na lalahok sa mga halalan sa hinaharap na panahon.

Inihayag ito ni Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte sa pulong-balitaan sa Malacanang Lunes pagkaraangmabalita na ang MILF na pinamumnuan ni Al Hadj Murad Ebrahim ay magtatayo ng lapiang pampulitika upangmagkaroon ng mga kandidato sa mga halalan sa hinaharap na mga panahon.

Tanggap ng pamahalaan ang mga balak pampulitika ng MILF para sa 2016. Alam naman nang lahat na ang pagtatatagng Bangsamoro ay magtatapos sa 2016 at angkop lamang na paghandaan ng MILF ang naturang bagay, sabi pa niValte.

Idinugtong pa ni Valte na titiyakin ng Pamahalaan ng Pilipinas (GPH) at ng MILF na matatapos sa temino ng PangulongAquino ang pagpapatupad ng Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro, ang bagong autonomous political entity napapalit sa 23 taon nang Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).

Patuloy na ginagawa ang tungkol sa tatlong annexes at ipababatid ng panel sa media agad ang bagay na ito sasandaling matapos. Sa panahong ito, sinisikap ng dalawang panig na matapos ang pagpapatpad ng BFA o FrameworkAgreement tungikol sa Bangsamoro at ang mga annexes nito sa loob ng termino ng Pangulo para hindi na maiwan sasusunod na administrasyon ang ano mang hindi tapos na bagay, dugtong ni Valte.

Kasalukuyang tinatapos ng GPH at MILF ang mga susog sa Hatian ng Kayamanan, Hatian ng Kapangyarihan atNormalisasyon para matapos na ang malawakang kasunduan ukol sa kapayapaan upang maitatag ang Bangsamoro.

Noong nakaraang Disyembre, inilabas ng Pangulo ang Kautusang Tagapagpaganap Blg. 120 na lumikyha ng TransitionCommission na babalangkas ng panukalang Bangsamoro Baisc Law na itinakda ng Framework Agreement nanilagdaan ng pamahalaan at ng MILF noong Oktubre 15, 2012.

Mahalagang gawain ng komisyon ang pakikipag-ugnayan sa Kongreso at iba pang sangay ng pamahalaan nabalangkasin ang isang batas na magiging daan ng paglikha ng rehiyon ng Bangsamoro sa Mindanao.

Noong Pebrero 11, pinangunahan ng Pangulong Benigno S. Aquino III ang pormal na paglulunsad ng SajahatraBagnsamoro project na naglalayong mapabilis ang pagpapaunlad ng mga pook sa Sultan Kudarat sa Maguindanao naapektado ng mga kaguluhan habang ang pamahalaan at ang Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) ay nagsisikap namagkaroon ng pinal na kasunduang pangkapayapaan sa mga sesesyonistang Muslim.

Ipinauubaya natin kina Kalihim Deles at sa mga kagawad ng lupon ang pagpapahayag kung sa pamamagitan nginilunsad na Sajahatra ay may mga natalakay nang ano mang tulong sa kanilang mga panukalang pampulitika,dugtong pa ni Valte. PND (js/zaf)

Pangalawa, mayroon din po silang educational benefit para sa kanilang mga naulilang m ga anak. Ito po ay hanggangsa kolehiyo na iskolarsip, sabi ni Valte.

Binigyang diin ni Valte na kasalukuyang sinisiyasat ng maykapangyarihan kung sino ang mga sumalakay sa mga kawalng pamahalaan.

Samantala, sinalakay rin ng mga sandatahang lalaki ang Special Action Force ng Pambansang Pulisya sa Allacapan,lalawigan ng Cagayan Lunes ng umaga.

Ayoko pang tumukoy ng pangalan sapagkat hinihintay pa namin ang mga karagdagang ulat. Ngunit ibig kongpatunayan ang report na mayroon nga pong pitong namatay at may pito pa ring sugatan, dugtong ni Valte.

Sinabi ni Valte na tinutugis na ng Pambansang Pulisya ang mga may kagagawan ng pananambang.

Ayon sa mga ulat, isang trak na may sakay na mga tauhan ng PNP-SAF ang nakasagasa sa landmine habangbinabagtas ang lansangan sa Kataratan dakong ika-8:30 ng umaga. Nang sumabog ang landmine, pinaputukan pa ngmga sandatahang lalaki ang mga tauhan ng PNP-SAF na lulan ng trak.

Ang masasabi ko po lamang, pinaiigting po ang paghabol sa mga may kagagawan sa mga pangyay aring ito. Hindi kopo maibubunyag ang mga detalye ng operasyon, sabi ni Valte.

Tinutulungan ng Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources ang mangingisdang pilipinong apektado ng gusotsa West Philippine Sea

Tinutulungan ng Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) ang mga mangingisdang Pilipino na apektado ngsigalot sa West PhilippineSea.

Sinabi ni Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte sa pulong-balitaan sa Malacanang Lunes na naglagay na angBFAR ng payaw o gamit pangisda sa karagatang nasa may Kanlurang LuZon upang tulungan ang mga lokal namangingisdang hindi makapalaot dahil sa sigalot sa katubigang nasa Scarborough Shoal o Scarborough Reef na kilalarin bilang Panatag Shoals at Bajo de Masinloc.

Ang mga payaw po na tumutulong sa mga mangingisda natin ay naroon pa rin para hindi na sila lumayo sa pampang,dagdag ni Valte.

Ang payaw, bawat isa ay binubuo ng metallic floatisang anchor na yari sa bato, lubid at leaf frondsay makatutulongsa mga mangingisda na makahuli ng malalaking isda nang hindi na kailangang tumungo pa sa Scarborough Reef.

Idinugtong pa ni Valte na hinihimok ng BFAR ang mga mangingisda na humanap pa rin ng ibang mapangingisdaan nila.

Hindi naman ang ibig sabihin ay wala na pong ibang lugar, wika ni Valte.

Naninindigan ang administrasyong Aquino sa paggamit ng solusyong diplomatiko sa paglutas sa gusot sa WestPhilippine Sea.

Ayon kay Valte, minarapat ng pamahalaan na huwag nang pansinin ang mapaghamong mga salita at kilos na lalo pangmagpapalala sa kalagayan.

Ulit-ulit na nating nasabi na ang mga bagay na atin ay mananatiling atin, subalit sinisikap nating iwasan na ang anomang mapaghamong hakbang. Ipinasiya nating idulog ito sa kinaukulang tanggapan na siyang magsisilbingtagapamagitan. Iyan ang minarapat nating hakbang na gawin, pahayag pa ni Valte.

Binigyang diin ni Valte na igigiit ng pamahalaan natin ang mga hakbang na naaalinsunod sa paghanap ng mapayapangkalutusan ng sigalot sa karagatan, pati na ang sa Ayungin Shoal.

growth, particularly infrastructure and social services, he said.

The new budgeting regimes introduced so farthe one-year validity of all appropriations, the policy against lump sum

funds, procurement innovations that enable the early tender of projects, and tighter focus on the administrations

increase year-on-year. Meanwhile, interest payments grew by a slower rate of 6.4 percent year-on-year to P122.0

billion. The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) will release within this week a more detailed assessment of

government disbursements as of April.

The Government reported that it achieved a P36.8-billion budget surplus in April, a record-high for the traditionally

surplus month. Better revenue collections, which reached P190.0 billion in April or 24 percent higher year-on-year,

contributed to the surplus.

The cumulative deficit in the first four months of this year has reached P29.7 billion. In contrast, the deficit in the same

period of last year was only P2.9 billion.

Bank lending standards remain generally steady in Q1 2013

Source:http://www.bsp.gov.ph

Results of the Q1 2013 Senior Bank Loan Officers Survey showed that overall credit standards were generally steady

as most of the respondent banks maintained their credit standards for loans to both enterprises and households during

the quarter. Most banks indicated generally unchanged bank credit standards for the sixteenth consecutive quarter

starting Q2 2009, based on the percentage of responding banks indicating whether they tightened, loosened, or

maintained their credit standards.

Based on the diffusion index (DI) approach, a minimal net easing of overall credit standards for loans to both

enterprises and households relative to the previous quarter was noted with a DI of -9.7 percent and -4.2 percent,

respectively. 1,2 The details of the DI computation are found in Table 1. In the previous quarter, credit standards for

both business and household loans also showed a minimal net easing following the DI approach.

The survey consists of questions on perceptions relating to the overall credit standards of universal/ commercial banks

(U/KBs) in the Philippines, as well as factors affecting the supply of and demand for loans by both enterprises and

households.3 All of the 35 U/KBs included in the survey4 responded to the Q1 2013 survey, representing a 100-

percent response rate.5 The analysis in the survey is based on comparisons with data for the immediately preceding

quarter. The BSP has been conducting this survey since Q1 2009 to enhance its understanding of banks lending

behavior, which is an important indicator of the strength of credit activity in the country. The survey also helps the BSP

assess the robustness of demand conditions, potential risks in the asset markets, and possible strains in the bank

lending channel as a transmission channel of its monetary policy.

Lending to Enterprises

Most banks continue to indicate generally unchanged credit standards for enterprises.6 However, a few banks eased

their credit standards for enterprises citing an improved profile of borrowers and profitability of banks asset portfolio, a

more favorable outlook on the domestic economy, and an increased deposit base of banks as important factors that

contributed to the easing. In particular, some banks reported less strict loan covenants and longer loan maturities

across all types of business loans. Banks responses also indicated narrower loan margins, increased credit line sizes,

and less strict collateral requirements, except in the case of micro enterprises. Meanwhile, some banks appeared tohave reduced the use of interest rate floors, particularly for top corporations and micro enterprises.7

In terms of borrower firm size, the percentage of respondent banks that reported easing credit standards for top

corporations and large middle-market enterprises remained low but was higher than those indicating the opposite for

the fourth and third consecutive quarter, respectively. Overall credit standards for small and medium enterprises

(SMEs) also showed a slight net easing after being unchanged in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, credit standards for

micro enterprises continued to show a slight net tightening, consistent with the expected net tightening indicated by

banks responses in the previous quarter.

Over the next quarter, most of the respondent banks expected credit standards for loans to enterprises to remain

unchanged. However, the percentage of banks foreseeing a slight easing of credit standards for loans across all firmsizes was higher compared to those expecting otherwise. Those responding banks cited expectations of an

improvement in the profitability and liquidity of banks asset portfolio as factors behind the potential easing of

standards.

Lending to Households

The survey results likewise showed most of the respondent banks reporting unchanged credit standards for loans

extended to households.8 However, some banks indicated a slight easing of credit standards for household loans in

Q1 2013 for the third consecutive quarter on the back of improved profitability of banks asset portfolios, more

aggressive competition from banks and non-bank lenders, increased tolerance for risk, and improved profile of

borrowers. In particular, a few banks reported increased credit line sizes for the fourth consecutive quarter. Some of

the respondent banks also indicated longer maturities and reduced use of interest rate floors for housing loans, whilecollateral requirements and loan covenants were unchanged, except for auto loans. Banks responses also reflected a

net widening of loan margins for all types of household loans.

With regard to specific types of household loans,9 banks responses indicated a slight net easing of standards for

housing and personal/salary loans, but unchanged credit standards for credit card and auto loans based on the DI

approach.

Most of the respondent banks foresee maintaining their credit standards over the next quarter. However, some banks

expect credit standards across all types of household loans to ease further given expectations of improved profitability

in the asset portfolio of banks, more favorable economic outlook, and increased tolerance for risk.

Loan Demand

The survey results also showed a net increase in overall demand10 for loans from both enterprises and households.

For loans to businesses, the net increase in loan demand was attributed by banks to increased accounts receivable

financing and working capital needs. Meanwhile, the net increase in demand for household loans reflected higher

housing investment and household consumption, lower interest rates, and banks more attractive financing terms.
