GRIND program takes spotlight in Davao Sur college roadshow

through a project entitled "Mainstreaming the Sur State College."

MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Monday welcomed the signing of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) and the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA), citing its importance in fending off cyber attacks on energy infrastructure.

Monday’s signing is a continuing effort of the country to protect itself against any cyber attacks, Marcos said in his speech during the event held at Malacañan Palace.

Since the NGCP is in charge of a very critical aspect of the daily lives of Filipinos, Marcos said when it comes to war strategy, “we do – we conduct our wars in the same manner that we conduct our business.”

The President raised the parallelism between the previous global wars and industrial development at the time with the current advancements in business through cyberspace.

“And that is why we are continuing to shore up our defenses when it comes to cybersecurity,” Marcos said.

“And since NGCP is a critical part of our security, of our ability to continue to function as a society, then this is an important day because now we have made more robust the defenses against any possible attacks on our power systems,” he added.

Marcos said the MOU signing is a very good step as the country develops its cyber systems to secure collected data and information and prevent external actors from using them against the Philippines.

Under the MOU, NICA is tasked with integrating collected intelligence informa-

tion from various government instrumentalities, making an analysis, assessing the data and recommending actions in safeguarding NGCP’s transmission assets.

Conversely, the NGCP can share vital information on energy-related security issues and provide technical advice to the NICA.

Through the MOU, NICA commits to supply the NGCP with intelligence information to support the protection of power transmission assets that NGCP operates and maintains across the country. In contrast, it commits to provide technical assistance to NICA to support and strengthen its cyber security capability.

The NGCP forged the MOU with NICA to effectively deal with attacks from lawless elements after experiencing sabotage and bombing incidents that injured its personnel and military escorts patrolling the transmission operator’s area of jurisdiction.

The NGCP is a privately owned corporation operating, maintaining, and developing the country's state-owned power grid. This interconnected system transmits gigawatts of power in thousands of volts from generators to consumers.

On the other hand, NICA is the primary intelligence gathering and analysis arm of the government, carrying out overt, covert, and clandestine intelligence activities.

NICA directs, coordinates, and integrates all government activities involving national intelligence and serves as the focal point for the preparation of intelligence data of local and foreign situations which serve as inputs and guides to the day-to-day decision and policy-making functions of the President as other entities.

Wanted: A Perfect Storm

NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental (MindaNews) – A downed industrial tanker off the coast of Oriental Mindoro with 800,000 liters of fuel is killing softly the living organisms – animals and plants alike – in the municipal waters.

The water currents move the oil sludge towards the south, extending the environmental devastation to the coasts of Antique and Palawan.

As oil tends to spread thin on the water surface, it would cover a wider area as it drifts. The oil slick creates a barrier for some time between atmospheric oxygen and the ocean water, suffocating thus not just planktonic

It is also likely that the planktons that have stuck to the oil would be ingested by animals in the marine food chain, the toxin of which is carried down to higher level consumers, to include humans.

The oil sludge also smothers the corals, eel grass and algae, including mangrove saplings. It, in effect, destroys

It would take months for an oil slick to become so thin so as no longer to deprive ocean lives of oxygen, by the action of strong waves, currents and other oceanic disturbances. It would, however, take years for corals to recover and restore its productivity.

Accordingly, the oil spill has become a health hazard to the coastal dwellers of Oriental Mindoro. The oil stench has been reported to have caused fever, headaches and dizziness.

Pray for a perfect storm.

Airports mirror country's image

FOR the longest time, the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) had been ranked among the worst and most stressful airports in the world, with travelers complaining of long queues, numerous security checks, lack among other things.

Last year, a survey conducted by travel website Hawaiian Islands named NAIA the third most stressful airport in Asia and Oceania, next to Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport in Australia and Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Vietnam. The results were based on Google reviews of travelers on more than 500 airports across the world.

Another travel website, Guide to Sleeping in Airports, described NAIA last year as a “large and often frustrating airport.”

In its report, it advised travelers to expect to wait in of scams, particularly the prevalent “tanim bala” scheme where bullets were planted in a traveler’s bag by inspec-

The outage shut down communications, radar, radio, and internet access prompting the suspension of airport operations which affected 56,000 inbound and outbound travelers.

A planned week-long strike that started Monday last week was lifted on the second day after a dialogue in Malacanang with transport groups Manibela and PISTON.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. last Wednesday thanked transport groups for lifting the strike and vowed they would review the modernization program. Marcos said the December deadline would give them enough time to ensure the modernization program will address the concerns raised by transport groups.

In Davao City, Retired Col. Dionesio Abude, head of the City Transportation and said the local government hopes to see HPBS running

Llanos said the amount that will be received by owners of old jeepneys for every unit scrapped would be on top livelihood assistance that the government will provide as part of the social development

package for affected drivers and operators.

Llanos noted that the private sector is set to establish a “scrapping facility” in the city.

15-year old jeepneysigon, focal person for PUV Modernization Program of the LTFRB-Davao, explained that only those over 15 years old and no longer roadworthy units would be scrapped.

If these old jeepneys pass the Land Transportation assessment, owners can keep them but only for private use.

Retired Col. Dionesio Abude, head of the City Transportation and Traffic Management Office, added that drivers of the scrapped jeepneys would be prioritized for hiring by operators of the HPBS buses but they will be required to undergo trainingtion and Skills Development them with skills before they can qualify to be bus drivers.

“It’s very embarrassing, alarming, and it really makes you furious. How can we even entice foreign tourists to our shores if no less than our airport personnel keep on victimizing them?” he was quoted as saying in a report.

“It sounds a bit extreme, but circumstances call for extreme measures. If government personnel commit criminal acts against foreign visitors the minute they land at the airport, it says a lot about our country, so it needs to be addressed sternly,” he added.

All these should serve as an eye-opener for the agencies concerned, particularly the Manila International Airport Authority which manages the main gateway, as well as the DOTr’s OTS, to enforce stronger rules and disciplinary actions on erring employees to effectively stop the commission of such activities.

The state of our airport and the conduct of our people are among the things that leave a lasting impression on foreign visitors, and it is very critical that we get our act together, especially as we aim to change the reputation of the NAIA from being one of the worst to being one of the best in the world.
