His Nine-Point Program focuses on: 1)Health and Wellness; 2) Local History and Culture; 3) Education and Youth; 4) Livelihood and Employment; 5) Peace and Order; 6) Socialized Housing; 7) Good Governance; 8) Economic Development; and 9) Environmental Protection. mallets and hammers destroyed the machines, especially their motherboards serving as brains of the gambling systems. The coin slots were also smashed to pieces. Domagoso said that most people who patronize video karera — featuring animated horseracing on which bets are placed — are also drug users. Many drug dealings happen while players are betting on fruit and video karera games along alleys or clandestine places that host the machines, he said. The mayor warned operators of the illegal gambling games, as well as their protectors among barangay and police, that he will hound them and prosecute them to rid the city of their ilk.

Break craving “It’s high time for all sectors of the society to break our craving for plastic bags and other single-use disposables that have become a bane for the environment, especially our oceans which are now choking with macro and microplastic waste,” Chee said. Miss Earth, activists push alternatives. She cited a study by scientists that “there are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris in the ocean. Of that mass, 269,000 tons float on the surface, while some four billion plastic microfibers per square kilometer litter the deep sea.” “Aside from polluting the oceans, plastic bags that end up being burned or buried in disposal facilities also emit harmful pollutants that can contaminate the air we breathe and the soil where we grow our food, posing threats to human health,” Saldua added. Toxic substances According to the report “Plastic & Health: The Hidden Costs of a Plastic Planet,” all plastic waste management technologies “lead to direct and indirect exposure to toxic substances for workers and nearby communities, including through inhalation of contaminated air, direct contact with contaminated soil or water, and ingestion of foods that were grown in an environment polluted with these substances.” “Toxins from emissions, fly ash, and slag in a burn pile can travel long distances and deposit in soil and water, eventually entering human bodies after being accumulated in the tissues of plants and animals,” the report said. Ban altogether For her part, Zero waste campaigner Ochie Tolentino of the EcoWaste Coalition challenged By Anthony Ching a detailed hazard map and a concrete course of action in the event of a major earthquake.

MOST INNOVATIVE BROADSHEET 2018 44TH PHILIPPINES BUSINESS EXPO ROACH MOCKS HURMAN D24 RUSSIAN NUKE SUB EXPLODES B14 Jun Vallecera, Editor Thursday, 4 July 2019 Daily Tribune BUSINESS MOVING FORWARD WITH AN INDEPENDENT BSP B12 B9 KNOW YOUR PRIVACY Raymund E. Liboro COMMENTARY Complying with DPA’s data breach management requirements “ The team’s core focus shall be to “assess and evaluate a security incident, restore integrity to the information and communications system, mitigate and remedy any resulting damage, and comply with reporting requirements. A data breach is not necessarily a disaster. Unless if you mishandle it. Then, that would be a sure-fire way of making a big problem, bigger. To prevent this from happening, your organization must set in place a set of functional data breach management protocols, as outlined in the National Privacy Commission’s (NPC) Circular 16-03. Preparation is the key to management success in any crisis scenario. Thus, being prepared for a breach begins with having instituted your Security Incident Management Policy, which governs the actions you should take in case of a security incident or personal data breach. It mainly touches on concerns about your data breach response team, as well as the implementation of security measures and incident response procedures. It also covers mitigation of harms and negative consequences, and of course, how you may ensure timely compliance with NPC breach notification requirements. Your overall success in managing data breaches largely hinges on the competence and passion of the data breach response team. As the name suggests, the team shall be your organization’s first responders in case of any security incident and potential data breaches. It is a must that it includes at least one member with the authority to make immediate decisions on critical action. Depending on management discretion, the team may include your organization’s data protection officer. The team’s core focus shall be to “assess and evaluate a security incident, restore integrity to the information and communications system, mitigate and remedy any resulting damage, and comply with reporting requirements,” as laid out in the Circular. In the event of a security incident, the team is responsible for the following: -The timely discovery of security incidents; person or persons responsible for regular monitoring and evaluation of security incidents; -Clear reporting lines; -Preliminary assessment; -Evaluation; -Contacting law enforcement; -Conduct of investigations; -Notification procedures and; -Mitigating possible harm to data subjects; Notifying the NPC and affected data subjects is mandatory when it involves sensitive personal information or any other data that may be used for identity fraud; information may have been acquired by an unauthorized person; and unauthorized acquisition is likely to give rise to a real risk of serious harm to any affected data subject. The PIC must notify the NPC and affected data subjects within 72 hours upon knowledge of, or when there is reasonable belief that a personal data breach has occurred. Post crisis, your organization is also mandated to institute measures for moving forward. This includes adopting new safeguards intended to prevent similar breaches from happening or improving existing measures so you may at least minimize the negative impact. Conducting Privacy Impact Assessments, vulnerability scanning, capacity building of personnel, as well as the testing, assessment or evaluation of related security measures are just some of the steps you may take. If you have questions or concerns, you may contact the National Privacy Commission via 234-22-28 (local 114) or email info@privacy. gov.ph.

CHINA DAILY Diokno bares sanguine GDP, inflation prints Diokno intends to bring reserve requirement ratio down to a single-digit The outlook for both inflation and local output growth measured as the gross domestic product growth (GDP) is forecast in a better light the rest of the year, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Benjamin Diokno said on Wednesday. Consistent with the forecast inflation DIOKNO in June, Diokno said price pressures in the third quarter should prove lower than that posted in the second quarter. “If we just look at the base effects, the third quarter will really be around 2 percent (or) even lower than 2 percent,” Diokno told reporters. Earlier, the BSP forecast NG debt up 15.8% For the month, higher external debt can be attributed to the effect of currency fluctuations of both dollar and third-currency denominated debt amounting to P6.14 billion and P10.09 billion, respectively The indebtedness of the national government (NG) continued to widen in May when this grew by more than a tenth of the amount registered in the same month a year-ago, the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) said on Wednesday. BTr data show NG outstanding debt for the month total P7.91 trillion, 15.8 percent higher than the P6.83 trillion reported in May last year. Also, the figure is greater by 1.7 percent than the P7.29 trillion NG debt reported in April. Of the overall stock, 66.4 percent were borrowed domestically while the remaining 33.6 percent were from external sources. Domestic debt expanded by 18.8 percent to P5.25 trillion in May this year from only P4.42 trillion reported in the same month last year. Likewise, foreign borrowings hiked 10.4 percent to P2.65 trillion from only P2.40 trillion on the same comparable period. “The higher level for May (for domestic debt) was caused by net issuance of government securities amounting to P50.95 billion which added to the P60 million revaluation of onshore dollar bonds due to peso depreciation,” the BTr said. “For the month, higher external debt can be attributed to the effect of currency fluctuations of both dollar and third-currency denominated debt amounting to P6.14 billion and P10.09 billion, respectively,” the BSP said. Net availment of foreign loans which amounted to P61.48 billion including EUR750 million in Eurobonds as part of the NG’s effort to diversify funding sources for infrastructure investment and human capital development, contributed to external borrowings growth. The total NG guaranteed obligations or debt contracted by public entities that become direct NG obligations at default, expanded by P3.18 billion or 0.7 percent month-on-month to P486.15 billion. Joshua Lao June inflation to settle within the 2.2 percent to 3 percent range, significantly lower than the actual headline print of 3.2 percent in May. In terms of economic expansion, Diokno supported the view expressed earlier by Deputy BSP Governor Diwa Guinigundo that GDP growth for the period could hit 6 percent. “At least 6 percent,” Diokno reiterated, noting that government and consumer spending activities during the period should prove enough to drive continued and higher growth. According to him, lower inflation during the period allowed for greater purchasing power for Filipino consumers and help the economy gain more momentum. The phased reduction in the banks’ deposit reserves also provide additional boost to the economy with the release of previously captured liquidity expected to translate to greater lending activities down the line. Diokno intends to bring reserve requirement ratio (RRR) down to a single-digit. “The (RRR) is really high. Plus, we are, by law, given another instrument to (capture) liquidity if needed. Right now it is at 16 (percent) and we’re sticking with the original plan to cut,” Diokno said. Joshua Lao
