From our early support to Bohol’s development plan in the 1970s to the recent disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) trainings of the local government and communities, Bohol proves to be a model showcase of a successful cooperation between Japan and the Philippines,” said JICA Senior Representative Takahiro Morita. To further boost DRR in Bohol, JICA dispatched recently a group of LGU officials from the Municipality of Tubigon to train in Japan, including participants from Bohol’s Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) and Bohol Island State University (BISU).

PH startup bags up to $500,000 in equity investments
Acudeen Technologies, a startup that helps small and medium enterprises (SMEs) overcome financial constraints, recently bagged equity investments of up to $500,000 after besting other participants from over 66 countries in the SeedStars World Summit in Switzerland. Founded by a Filipino startup entrepreneur Mario Jordan “Magellan” Fetalino III, Acudeen Technologies is a financial-technology company that provides support for Philippine small businesses coping to make ends meet as they await payments from their clients. Financial stability is one of the top problems faced by most micro, small, medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the country. While MSMEs acquire big contracts with larger companies, they find themselves financially disabled while they wait for their invoices to be paid that are usually in 30-60 day cycles. This scheme forces most MSMEs out of business. With this prevailing problem, Acudeen Technologies provides an innovative solution. It transforms SMEs’ invoices into cash through discounting of their receivables providing them with necessary working capital which they fail to get from banks. “This is an outstanding work of a Filipino entrepreneur which does not just boast of the innovative capacity of Filipino startups to provide solutions to existing problems, but also reflects the bayanihan spirit among Filipinos that continue to help our small businesses in the country to thrive,” said Department of Trade and Industry’s Trade and Investment Promotion Group Undersecretary Nora K. Terrado. “We hope to encourage more startups like this in furthering our innovative economy. We encourage them to avail various initiatives of the public and private sector such as the QBO Innovation Hub,” added Terrado. The Philippines, with increasing collaboration between the public and private...No Results Found

Move to unify anti-rabies ordinances gets EBA nod
GOVERNOR Erico Aumentado vowed Thursday to send a memorandum to all local executives in an attempt to unify all municipal ordinances to the newly passed Bohol Anti-Rabies Ordinance. Aumentado’s action came as the Bohol Rabies Prevention and Eradication Council (BRPEC) met at the Mansion to resolve issues that hinder the province-wide implementation of anti-rabies prevention and eradication program. BRPEC has initially sought the governor’s help to resolve the issue non-uniformity of applicable laws in the dog registration and vaccination in the towns. The program calls for massive dog registration and vaccination, dog-population control, elimination after impounding, bite management, public education as well as putting up local mechanisms to bring the campaign to the communities with barangay workers as front-liners. With different enforceable local laws legislated in the towns, the council members has asked the governor for help to guide local program implementers as to which law would assure sustainability to the program which aims to make the province rabies free by 2010. Sustainability can be assured if barangays are allowed to get shares in the implementation as well as in the collection of dog registration and vaccination fees. The fees would assure a revolving fund for vaccine and dog-tag acquisition as proof of vaccination. The provincial ordinance mandates that dog registration would be P50 for a female and P100 for a male dog. It also states that 50% of the money collected goes to the provincial government as anti-rabies program revolving fund while 30% goes to the frontline barangay government while the remaining 20% goes to the municipal government. The registration also goes with a subsequent vaccination and dog-tagging....6 Boholano election registrars assigned to go to Mindanao for the ARMM elections
