MANILA, JUNE 13, 2011 (STAR) By Iris C. Gonzales - The National Government’s outstanding debt rose by P247.5 billion or 5.6 percent to P4.7 trillion in March compared to year-ago level as the Aquino administration continues to rely on foreign and local debt to pay maturing obligations. |
Month-on-month, the debt stock increased by 1.1 percent or P50.3 billion from the end-February level of P4.65 trillion. |
Divided over a population of 94 million, theoretically, the P4.7-trillion debt stock comes out to P50,053 in debt for each Filipino. |
Of the P4.7 trillion outstanding debt, domestic borrowings amounted to P2.7 trillion in March, up 5.1 percent or P130 billion from a year ago and by a slight 0.1 percent from February as the government issued more treasury bills and bonds than the amount of maturing debt notes during the period. |
The National Government’s foreign borrowings also increased as of end-March by 6.1 percent or P117.5 billion to P2.039 trillion from a year ago. Month-on-month, the increase was slightly lower at 2.4 percent or P47.9 billion from P1.99 trillion in February as the government borrowed more from the external debt market t... |
A stronger peso against the dollar helped reduce foreign public debt figures by roughly P11 billion. In March, the average exchange rate was P43.51 against the dollar, stronger than the P43.70-to-the-greenback in February. |
The debt stock excluded contingent debt of the National Government which stood at P525 billion in March. |
Contingent debts are guarantees issued by the National Government. These turn into actual liabilities each time a state-owned agency or corporation with guaranteed loans fail to pay their obligations. |
In March, contingent debts were lower by P60 billion or 10.3 percent from a year ago and by P21 billion or 3.8 percent compared to the February contingent debt level. |
This as domestic contingent debt of the government went down by P9 billion as a result of the repayment of zero-coupon bonds of state-owned National Power Corp. (Napocor). |
The government borrows from the local and foreign debt markets to finance maturing obligations and to plug a budget gap. |
The Aquino administration hopes to slash the budget deficit as a ratio of gross domestic product (GDP) to 2 percent in 2013 from the projected 3.2 percent this year. |
This year, the deficit is projected to hit roughly P290 billion from the P314.4 billion recorded in 2010. |
STOCKHOLM, July 18 (Reuters) - Sweden’s Assa Abloy , the world’s biggest lock maker, reported on Wednesday a second-quarter operating loss, which included an earlier flagged large writedown, in line with market forecasts and preliminary guidance. |
The group, which said in early July it would book a 6 billion crown writedown on its Chinese business in the quarter, reported an operating loss of 2.69 billion Swedish crowns ($303.03 million), against a year-ago profit of 3.11 billion, matching a mean forecast in a Reuters poll of analysts. |
It said adjusted operating income excluding write-downs of operating assets was 3.31 billion crowns, in line with the preliminary guidance given in connection with its recent profit warning. |
Organic sales growth accelerated to 5 percent from 4 percent a year earlier, in line with the preliminary reading. |
Maucere will be joined at the state tournament, which takes place at the Times-Union Center Feb. 22-23, by six of his St. Anthony's teammates. The Friars won the team title with 303 points. |
Preston Maucere didn’t want to wait any longer to wrestle in the state tournament in Albany. |
In order to speed up the process, the St. Anthony’s senior made quick work of his opponents in CHSAA state tournament Sunday at Holy Trinity, capping his run with a 46-second fall over Keith Sherry of Kellenberg in the 132 pound final. |
Maucere missed out on a wild-card to the state tournament because of a concussion when he finished second at 99 as a freshman in the Suffolk tournament while wrestling for Deer Park. He wasn’t eligible to wrestle in the CHSAA tournament last season because of transfer rules. |
Maucere will be joined at the state tournament, which takes place at the Times-Union Center Feb. 22-23, by six of his St. Anthony’s teammates. The Friars won the team title with 303 points. Chaminade was second with 254.5 and Kellenberg was third with 184.5. Chaminade, Kellenberg and St. John the Baptist all had two fi... |
In all, the Friars had nine finalists. Jordan Wellington beat teammate Mick Brown, 4-2 at 99, and Sean Flick pinned Jake Podolsky in 47 seconds at 106, both rematches from last weeks league final. |
“I just wrestle every opponent the same, that’s it,” Flick said. |
Joe Schultz, at 160, and Tyler Podolsky, at 170, are also headed upstate. |
Tommy Szilagyi had a rematch from the league final and once again defeated St. John the Baptist’s Joe Vacca, 5-4, in a tight battle at 138. |
Szilagyi was able to hang on to the victory after Vacca got a reversal with 15 seconds left in the match. |
There was no such drama for the Friars’ Christian Hansen, who won his second straight CHSAA state title with a 13-2 win over Matt Baldwin of Canisius. |
A government shutdown forces everyday people to struggle. |
I am a law enforcement officer at a federal prison in Florida, and I put my life on the line daily to protect my community in an environment where correctional officers are heavily outnumbered. |
Prisons are already severely understaffed. Officers across the country are being assaulted while being mandated to 16-hour shifts, more than 70 hours a week. The shutdown forces us to cancel all leave and come to work without pay or face disciplinary action. This is likened to “involuntary servitude.” Shutting down the... |
Many employees barely make ends meet. Now, before the holidays, we come to work to face furloughs or not knowing whether or when we will get paid because officials in Washington want to play politics. |
-- Ray Coleman; Tallahassee, Fla. |
President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress blew holes in a bipartisan effort to fund the government until February that would have avoided a partial government shutdown! |
Trump made a promise to his Republican, anti-immigrationists that he would build a "big beautiful wall," and is shutting down the government because he didn't get his way. Let's hope Trump's wrangling doesn't affect too many of his loyal Republican supporters' holiday plans. |
-- Ron Lowe; Nevada City, Calif. |
So I woke up this morning to read that the government is in a shutdown. |
And then I remembered that the Democrats are blaming Trump for it because they thought he was going to cave, even after the White House meeting that we all saw. |
So with the government shutdown, we see who is for upholding his oath of office to protect and defend this country, and who isn't. |
Democrats all of a sudden care about an expenditure that is less than 1 percent of the budget. |
-- Barry Levy; Hawthorne, Calif. |
Republicans will no doubt defend to the end Trump's government shutdown. Trump stated he would accept full blame for the shutdown on national television (while acting like a child). |
Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer were forced to watch Trump's border wall temper tantrum, unable to do anything but shake their heads in disbelief as Trump raged about funding the wall. The fact is this Christmas, 800,000 government employees are going on furlough or work without pay. |
Trump criticized former President Barack Obama back in 2013 during a different shutdown. That was to save the Affordable Care Act. Trump's shutdown is all about him and the wall Mexico was going to pay for. |
But really, why is anyone surprised that Trump is willing to shut down our government when it's clearly not the one he works for? |

After three weeks and 56 games, the 2018 World Cup field of 32 has been winnowed down to eight. Here’s what to look forward to in the quarterfinals from the eight teams — seven, if we’re being completely honest — that have a chance of lifting the FIFA World Cup Trophy on July 15. |
France finally showed what it’s capable of during a thrilling 4-3 victory over Argentina in the Round of 16. Of course, Argentina’s defense is laughably bad, while Uruguay’s, led by the central defensive partnership of José Giménez and Diego Godín, might be the best at the World Cup. The Uruguayans will probably be wit... |
Mbappé’s scintillating play against Argentina allowed a glimpse of how good France can be. If he can replicate that form Friday, even defenders as good at Uruguay’s might not stand a chance. |
Prediction: Uruguay wins a tense and disjointed game with a controversial late goal. |
Led by Neymar’s first real team performance of the tournament, Brazil put in one of the best performances of the Cup in the Round of 16, comfortably beating a strong Mexican side, 2-0. While Belgium has the offensive talent — Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne — to give Brazil’s disciplined backline some tr... |
While Brazil might be able to stop Belgium’s offense, it’s hard to imagine the opposite happening. Because of that, Belgium will need its midfield, particularly the defense-minded Witsel, to impose itself on the game and disrupt the Brazilians from getting their beautiful, free-flowing offense going. |
Prediction: Though the first half is close, Brazil pulls away late to show why it’s favored to win it all. |
When England went out of its way to not win Group G, this is the game it, and its fans, had their eye on. Now Harry Kane and company just have to win it, which won’t be easy considering how quietly impressive Sweden and its defense, anchored by captain Andreas Granqvist, have been all Cup. If an English offense that’s ... |
Part of the reason England’s offense has looked so halting is because Alli, perhaps the team’s most talented player, has been battling injury all tournament long. A good performance from him, though, and the team’s offensive issues should be a thing of the past. |
Prediction: England scores early to win an otherwise unwatchable game. |
That’s right, Russia, the lowest-ranked team of the Cup and coincidentally the hosts, finds itself in the quarterfinals. Though it claimed a major scalp last round in Spain, in what was probably the upset of the tournament, a very strong Croatia side will be another thing entirely. Coming off a too-close-for-comfort wi... |
What Modrić does, maybe better than anyone on the planet right now, is control the flow of the game. He struggled to set the tempo against a Denmark side that had no interest in playing fluid soccer, but should find little trouble imposing his will on Saturday’s proceedings. |
Prediction: Croatia looks like it did during the group stages and wins easily. |
Q: At our previous rental we gave 30-day notice that we were relocating to another city. Within that notice period the property manager told us that the landlord was anxious to begin remodeling and that he was willing to "work around us." The property manager said he needed the key to gain access so he could have an ov... |
We were going to be making several trips to our new home city and wouldn’t even be there so we thought that the request was reasonable. We trusted the property manager so we gave him an extra key and even asked him to put any items that were in his way on the back patio until we could pick them up. |
Our move did not go quite as smoothly as we planned since I unexpectedly fell ill and made it clear to both the landlord and the property manager that I needed help from my family to help move the last of the items. I also knew that I would need to pay any prorated rent into the next month, which I had agreed to do. |
To our horror, they disposed of a roomful of valuable family possessions without attempting to contact us and against our specific instructions that these items were being picked up. |
When I questioned the landlord, he knew nothing about the items or any agreement we had with providing a key, and then referred us to the property manager. The property manager who had been so friendly when we gave our notice and let him have the key suddenly had a much different attitude and wouldn’t take my calls. |
When the property manager finally responded weeks later in a formal letter, he said that we had "given up possession of the property" and that neither he nor the landlord was required to honor or protect our possessions. I didn’t put any of our agreements in writing and so I am concerned that it is now my word versus t... |
What recourse do we have at this point in time? |
A: Your situation is most unfortunate, as you were trying to help the property manager and the landlord, and your good deed has turned sour for you. Your landlord is responsible for the actions of the property manager. I would immediately put your claim in writing, just as you have done in your question to me, and also... |
Hopefully, you have receipts and, ideally, photos of the items that were left behind and improperly disposed of by the property manager to help you establish their authenticity and value. You should also file a police report, although law enforcement will likely consider this situation to be a civil dispute and not a c... |
If the insurance claims are not successful to cover any or all of your loss, and the landlord and his property manager refuse to offer you a reasonable settlement for the value of the items you lost, then you should consider a small claims action. You didn’t have any written agreements about this arrangement, but you m... |
The rules of evidence in small claims courts are often much more reasonable than in more formal, higher monetary jurisdictional matters, and this could be very helpful, as you just need to present a plausible foundation to support your claim. |
Start with the 30-day notice and then look for any emails or texts or voice mail messages between yourself and the property manager. Your phone records may also show some calls. For example, any phone records indicating that you made calls from your new city to the property manager could be helpful in supporting your s... |
If the value exceeds the small claims jurisdictional limits, then you will need to contact an attorney and discuss a formal court action and discuss the pros and cons of such a lawsuit and the higher standards for evidence required to prove your case. |
Virtually all the ingredients that have made Studio Ghibli movies so appealing around the world — a wide-eyed young protagonist, a freewheeling supernatural adventure and clean, colorful animation drawn by hand — combine to form the first feature from Studio Ponoc, a new independent Japanese anime company formed by Ghi... |
British novelist Mary Stewart’s beloved “The Little Broomstick” predates J.K. Rowling’s hit Harry Potter series by more than a quarter-century, which means the source material is original, even if its gorgeous big-screen adaptation feels a bit derivative in places — and derivative of not just Rowling’s more richly imag... |
Produced with a fraction of the budget and crew that Studio Ghibli typically had to work at its disposal, this remarkable achievement functions as a compelling proof of concept for Studio Ponoc and has been justly rewarded with strong box office in Japan. And yet, however considerable the film’s charms (it’s first-rate... |
That said, “Mary and the Witch’s Flower” does diverge somewhat even from Yonebayashi’s previous features, which were also adapted from British young-adult novels, in that it calls for a couple of thrilling chase sequences and several bombastic set pieces. After introducing the magical plant of the film’s title — a phos... |
Mary desperately wants to be of help, but she’s kind of a klutz, and even the blond-haired neighbor boy Peter (Louis Ashbourne Serkis) doesn’t know what to make of the backwards new girl. One day, she spots what appears to be a color-changing cat (the actual explanation is a cute surprise) and follows it into the woods... |
Mary is understandably overwhelmed by her discovery, and it takes her some time to realize, first, that she’s not dreaming and, later, that she has the strange plant to thank for her newfound (yet temporary) powers, impressive even to magical schoolmasters and Madam Mumblechook (Kate Winslet) and Doctor Dee (Jim Broadb... |
As the new kid in an unfamiliar setting, Mary doesn’t yet have many acquaintances, which leads to an unusual connection with her “little broomstick” — as she calls the device, which swiftly becomes her new best friend (and even forces her to tears when it snaps late in the story), although the bond is never as strong a... |
Curiously enough, though director Yonebayashi clearly fetishizes the romantic countryside setting of such European stories for Mary’s time with her family, the school itself is quite unlike anything we’ve seen — making it easy to understand why Mary might think she’s dreaming. The first creature she meets is a talking ... |
It’s here in the movie’s more fantastical details that Yonebayashi’s imagination runs free — and Studio Ponoc’s potential shines brightest. The world they’ve created may not be logical, but it is intuitive, as Mary adapts to whatever hallucinatory wonder or obstacle the filmmakers can throw at her, from a helpful herd ... |

A professor of economics at Harvard University from 1983-1991, Lawrence Summers served as chief economist of the World Bank and secretary of the Treasury before returning to Harvard University as its president in 2001. |

LAWRENCE SUMMERS: There were only a certain scope of ideas that were acceptable to talk about, and that was very much framed by the results of research and analysis.
