NGCP WARNS OF "PROBABLE" GRID COLLAPSE" IN MINDANAO

NGCP warns of “probable grid collapse” in Mindanao

           System operator National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has warned of probable grid collapse and prolonged brownouts if bombing of its transmission facilities would not be abated.

           “Mindanao is facing probable grid collapse if the situation persists since there is only one line remaining to deliver power from the Agus hydro-power complex – the 138-kilovolt Maramag-bunawan line,” the transmission firm had noted.

           The company added “if the said line is in any way compromised, no power will flow from the remaining Agus hydro facilities to south in Mindanao where the bulk of power demand is located.”

           In particular, it noted that “both Davao City and General Santos City are located in the South, and are in real danger of being completely cut off from the bulk supply coming from the hydro facilities.”

           The bombed transmission line servicing Agus 1 and 2 plants had been “unserviceable since Christmas Eve when it was bombed by unidentified lawless elements.”

           NGCP has noted that failed negotiations with landowners of which property is straddled by transmission facilities had been hobbling restoration efforts on the power lines.

           “The owners of the property where the tower is located – Johnny, Intan and Naguib Sambitori – refused NGCP entry to repair the damaged transmission facility.” the transmission firm has reiterated.
           It stressed that “negotiation with the Sambitoris were unsuccessful because the owners alleged that government failed to pay their claims long ago.”

           Just two weeks ago, two towers of NGCP – including that tower #25 – had been downed by bombings orchestrated by anarchic elements and this cut off the Agus 1 and 2 hydropower plants from the grid’s supply.

           “As a result, as much as 150 megawatts of power had been isolated from Mindanao consumers,” the company said.

           NGCP has emphasized that longer rotational power interruption may be expected then for the affected areas in the island.

“Failure to restore tower will aggravate the supply deficiency in the region,” the transmission company has stresses further.

The transmission firm thus reiterated its appeal to the public and consumers as well as law enforcement  agencies-primarily the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines-“To help monitor the safety of the towers so that transmission services remain uninterrupted.”


It likewise extended its plea to the local government officials and community leaders in Mindanao “to help the identity the perpetrators of the bombing to prevent longer power interruption.” By: Myrna M. Velasco

SAUDI – IRAN DEPLOMATIC RIFT AFFECTED WORLD STABILITY & OFW’S

SAUDI – IRAN DEPLOMATIC RIFT AFFECTED WORLD STABILITY & OFW’S

GENERAL SANTOS CITY - January 6, 2016, the presence situation of the recent diplomatic row between Saudi Arabia and Iran will affect OFWs. ASec. Charles Jose said, “We are monitoring very closely the developments in Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia and Iran relations. So far there are no indications that the safety and well-being of our OFW’s are in danger”.

Nevertheless, our Embassies’ are prepared to assist our OFW’s under any contingency. And the Philippine government is ready to use all the resources at its disposals to insure the safety of our OFW’s.

“We have demonstrated in the pass crisis this resolve in capability when we repfratreted thousands of our OFW’s from Libya. Iraq, Syria and Yemen in recent years and we accomplished our mission successfully for safety returned home of our OFWs, ASec. Jose said”.

Meanwhile – Tension in disputed sea might escalate in South-east Asia after China’s “Test Flight” on the Artificial Island. According to the Philippine government spokesman Charles Jose said, “We intend to file a protest versus China’s test flight on the Fiery Cross Reef (Artificial Island) constructed by the Chinese regime and has already completed on schedule.

China’s first landing of a plane on one of its artificial island runway in the South China Sea shows powerful Beijing’s facilities in the disputed region are being completed on time schedule and fears by nearby neighbor regions military flights will inevitably follow, foreign officials and security analyst said.

China’s increasing military presence in the disputed sea lane could effectively lead to a Beijing-controlled air defense zone, analyst said, rising up tension with other claimants and with the United States in one of the world’s most volatile areas, expert said.

Chinese foreign officials confirmed on Saturday that a test flight by a civilian plane landed on an artificial island built in the Spratlys, the first time Beijing has used a runway in the area.
Vietnam launched a formal diplomatic protest while Philippine foreign department spokesman Charles Jose said Manila was planning to do the same. Both have claims to the area that overlap with China.

“That’s the fear, that China will be able take control of the disputed sea lane and it will affect the “Freedom of Navigation and Freedom of over flight,” Jose told reporters in Manila.

UN moves to defuse Saudi-Iran tension-

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon calls on Tehran, Riyadh to avoid escalating riff, oil price.

UNITED NATION (PNA/PTI/REUTERS) – United Nations (UN) chief Ban Ki-moon has asked Saudi Arabia and Iran to avoid actions that could further escalate tensions even as he stressed that the break in Riyadh’s diplomatic ties with Tehran was deeply worrisome International Community.
As this developed, Iran wants to avoid an oil price war in global market with rival producers and only gradually lift exports once sanctions against it lifted, senior official said, in what would be a major shift away from planning to ship as much fuel as soon as possible.

Iran, which has some of the world’s biggest petroleum reserves, has repeatedly urged fellow members within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to make room for a supply jump from the Islamic Republic, pledging to ramp up exports as soon as sanctions on its oil industry are lifted under a nuclear deal with world powers.

At the same time, Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida and US Secretary of State John Kerry held talks over the phone on Wednesday, agreeing to seek to resolve tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran through dialogue.

Secretary-General Ban phoned Saudi Foreign Minister Abel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to urge them to avoid “avoid any actions that could further exacerbate the situation,” his spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.

OPEC alarmed over the over-supply of the oil in the international markets and also low price. oil prices are near 11- year lows below $37 per barrel and some analyst like Goldman Sachs say price may tumble as low as $20 as supply keep rising.

Elementary analysis, “The law of supply and demand miscalculated by OPEC”, it need a thourough review economic books by the OPEC officials to sharpen their mind setting.


This rising tension in the Middle East and Southeast Asia will surely create global economic disorder and instability, internayional community must acts now, not just to wait and see as spectators in sport arena. By: Abs Damahan

PRESIDENT AQUINO ADMINISTRATION (127) DAYS LEFT IN OFFICE

Blog- PHL Politics

PRESIDENT AQUINO ADMINISTRATION (127) DAYS LEFT IN OFFICE

GENERAL SANTOS CITY, JANUARY 03, 2016 – President Benigno C. Simeon Aquino III has almost completed the 6 years of his presidency.  The term limit as mandated in our Constitution and in the Omnibus election Laws. Starting from January 2016 to May 09, 2016 the president has only one hundred twenty seven (127) days left in office.
Whether we like it or not he must exit from power on June 30, 2016 because of the six (6) years term limit.
If I were the president I will not much indulge to politics even, he is the titular head of the Liberal Party. The president like other head of the states, he must now prepare for his graceful exit from Malacanang Palace at the end of this term. Let other members of the party likes: Sec.  Mar Roxas and other members of the LP to continue the “Right Path” (DAANG MATUWID) as he started during his first term in office until he finished his term. Sa bisaya pa (Bahala na si Mar Roxas maningkamot.
It is public knowledge that in some point, he has done is the steady growth of the Philippine economy for six years and a noted fundamental reform of our financial system for the country. His success as his legacy to PHL credited for his administration. The President must be happy now; he is not tag a lame duck president by the news maker Political Pundits group critics to him, including me as blogger.

Noted accomplishments: Sound and credible PHL Financial system and road networks improvement on his (DAAN MATUWID) “flagship programs”.  On the other side he had also a failure. A success of a Leader is in the barometer of the poverty line and measurements.

On the latest IBON foundation survey results: Mindanao has a greater number of poverty which is reported as 70-60 percent, in the Visayas regions which is in line second to the poverty ratio, 55-50 percent, while in Metro Manila, which has a low poverty rate. And the rest of Northern and Southern Luzon has also the poverty reduction ratio.

While Philippine Economy has improved a lot on growth rate. But it doesn’t felt by the marginalize poor, on particular Agri-sector rural farmers and fishery sector, It is good for the PH economy to bounce back; as we are the number two (2) fastest growing economy in the world second to India, China and Vietnam. And the Philippine is now under the financial stability rated by the World Financial Organization likes:  Meryll  Linch and Standard and Poor’s (S&P).

Some list of His failure of the Aquino administration:

1.)    Maquindanao Massacre
2.)    Palampaya funds  Scam
3.)    PDAF and DAF Scams
4.)    Metro Manila Traffic
5.)    Transport System
6.)    BBL
7.)    Mamasapano
8.)    Selective Justice system
9.)    Graft and Corruptions (under his administration)

Poll Uncertainties to Deter Investors

BSP seen to keep rates unchanged

Robust consumer and election spending would bring about a slight uptick in economic growth next year, but uncertainties brought by the national election-especially the most recent developments on two presidential candidates-might deter the entry of more investors, The Hongkong and shanghai Banking Corp. (HSBC) said.

“With private consumption expected to stay strong throughout election cycle, we forecast growth to increase slightly in 2016,” HSBC economist Joseph Incalcaterra said in a note titled “wake me up when 2015 ends.” The government had projected gross domestic product or GDP growth of 7 to 8 percent in 2016, faster than “realistic” 6 to 6.5 percent expansion expected this year.

But while the upcoming election would bolster both government and private expenditures, it is also seen to push investors on the sidelines as they adopt a wait –and-see stance (miron).

“(T)he large degree of election uncertainty, particularly concerning the disqualification of former leading candidate Grace Poe-a decision that she is appealing-and the rise of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, a candidate who has yet to elaborate an economic agenda.

Suggestion to Mayor Duterte-
Suggesting by Blog writer to Mayor Duterte as soon as possible his economic advisers should draw the line of his economic agenda (plata-forma) to be known for public scrutiny, may result in more subdued private investment over the next two quarters,”Incalcaterra said.

“(O)ur analysis of past electoral cycles shows that this is almost always the case, “he pointed out.
Strong manufacturing sector-

NEDA expect 6% GDP growth this year

The Philippine economy may grow 6.0 percent due to strong industry and manufacturing sectors, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said.

In a briefing, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio M. Balisacan said the country’s economy remains steady despite external uncertainties, numerous domestic challenges, and the impact of natural disasters.

In January to September 2015 the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew 5.6 percent, while in the third quarter; its output increased 6 percent due to strong domestic demand, more jobs and more public and private investments.

“This puts the Philippines as one of the fastest-growing major economies in Asia, just after India, China and Vietnam.

We expect our high growth trajectory to continue in the fourth quarter of the year as domestic demand continues to be strong,” Balisacan said.

“We are very optimistic that the Philippine economy will grow at 6 percent for full-year 2015,” he added. Note: My first blog for 2016.
