Mariing ipinag-utos ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa iba’t ibang ahensya ng gobyerno na magtulungan para i-assess ang epekto ng oil spill matapos ang paglubog ng isang oil tanker sa Bataan.

Partikular na inatasan ng Pangulo ang Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), at Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) na pangunahan ang assessment.

“Can we add an instruction to the DENR to make already an assessment on the environmental impact of this?” ayon sa Pangulo sa idinaos na situation briefing sa Presidential Security Command compound.

Nais matukoy ni PBBM ang eksaktong lokasyon ng lumubog na tanker.

Bukod dito, pinatutukoy din ng Pangulo sa mga environmental expert ang mga baybaying apektado ng oil spill at ipinahahanda na ang tulong sa mga maaapektuhan.

Umangat ang puwesto ng Pilipinas sa global anti-red tape ranking.

Ayon sa Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA), nasa ika-49 na pwesto ang Pilipinas sa 2024 World Competitiveness Report ng International Institute for Management Development, mula sa 67 bansa sa buong mundo.

Mas mataas ito ng tatlong pwesto kumpara sa naunang ulat. Nangangahulugan itong mas efficient at produktibo na ang pamahalaan.

Matatandaang suportado ng ARTA ang panawagan ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa mga ahensya ng pamahalaan at local government units (LGUs) na isulong ang “ease of doing business” upang mas mahikayat ang mga negosyante na mamuhunan sa bansa.

Tiniyak naman ng ARTA na ipagpapatuloy nito ang pagpapabilis at pag-digitalize sa mga serbisyo ng pamahalaan upang mas maging competitive at business-friendly ang Pilipinas.

As Metro Manila grapples with severe flooding caused by Tropical Cyclone Carina and the Southeast Monsoon, SM Foundation has activated its Operation Tulong Express (OPTE) to aid affected communities.

Responding to this, SM Foundation has begun distributing over 4,000 Kalinga Packs containing essential goods to hard-hit areas in Rizal province, including Angono, Masinag, San Mateo, and Taytay, as well as in Manila City and Quezon City.

The SM Group is set to expand its OPTE activation to other areas in need. Additionally, SM Supermalls have set up OPTE booths for community participation and are providing free overnight parking, WiFi, phone charging stations, and help desks in affected locations.
