 Ni Mortz C. Ortigoza, MPA

Ang Pilipinas ay nahaharap sa lumalaking problema sa kumpiyansa ng mga mamumuhunan habang ang mga tagapamahala ng pondo sa ibang bansa ay patuloy na lumilipat ang atensyon sa ibang lugar. Isa sa mga nangungunang ehekutibo sa pamumuhunan sa bansa ang nagbabala na ang Pilipinas ay halos naging "hindi na mahalaga" o "negligible" sa paningin ng ilang pandaigdigang mamumuhunan.


“π‡π€π‹πŽπ’ 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐀 𝐍𝐀 π“π€π˜πŽππ† 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐆𝐀”? Nagbabala ang Presidente ng BDO Capital na si Ed Francisco habang iniiwan ng mga dayuhang mamumuhunan ang Pilipinas."

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan – Nagdeklara ng State of Calamity (SoC) ang malaking lalawigan ng Pangasinan kung saan ilalaan ang mga bagong pondo para sa mga residenteng naapektuhan ng pinalakas na hanging habagat. Halos isang buwan nang binabayo ng mga pag-ulan ang lokal na pamahalaan ng apatnapu't apat na bayan at tatlong lungsod, kung saan mahigit kalahating bilyong piso na ang halaga ng mga nasirang ari-arian at produktong agrikultural.




“Ang Lalawigan ng Pangasinan ay opisyal na inilagay sa ilalim ng State of Calamity simula noong Agosto 31, 2026 sa pamamagitan ng Provincial Resolution No. 985-2026. Ang deklarasyon ay ginawa kasunod ng malawakang pinsala sa agrikultura, imprastraktura, at mga komunidad na dulot ng magkakasunod na bagyo at patuloy na malalakas na ulan,” ayon sa opisyal na website ng lalawigan na nag-post ng deklarasyon ngayong umaga.

 By Mortz C. Ortigoza, MPA

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan – Sanggunian (legislative council) all over the country will be seeing their members debating, compromising, and passing laws with a member of the Indigenous Peoples (IP) based on the instruction of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) that an IP representative will be part of the legislature.


Based on the national policy nagbigay ng kautusan ang national government and the different national agencies with regards to the implementation of the installation of an I.P sector or sectoral representative not just sa sanggunian panlalawigan even the sanggunian bayan when applicable. Kaya ang utos po ngayon ng national government, of course, the sanggunian panlalawigan would follow the guidelines,” said by Pangasinan Vice Governor Mark Ronald Lambino.
