PAGCOR Photography Contest 2023 winners bared
The results of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation’s Photography Contest 2023 were revealed today, 13 September, with PAGCOR’s announcement of the 24 grand winners from among 5,400 entries nationwide. The 12 winners in the conventional photography category received P80,000 each in cash prizes, while the 12 winners in the mobile category took home P35,000 each – the biggest prizes so far in the history of PAGCOR’s photo contest. PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco, who graced the event, said the agency was overwhelmed by the huge turnout of participants for the competition, which made a comeback this year following a six-year hiatus. “We were overwhelmed by the significant number of participants who joined this photo competition. Because of this project’s success, we will make this photography competition an annual event,” Tengco said. “At dahil naging matagumpay ang photo contest na ito, we will refine this para maging isang kilalang photography competition organized by PAGCOR. Umasa din kayo na dadagdagan pa natin ang prizes sa mga susunod na taon,” he said. Tengco said this year’s contest, with the theme “Sa’n Tayo Next?”, showcased relatively unknown but beautiful destinations of the Philippines that hold huge potentials of becoming major tourist spots. “The winning photos showed just how beautiful the Philippines is. So, instead of going abroad, we encourage all Filipinos to explore the beauty of our country and help promote domestic tourism,” he added. There were three winners each from Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao and Metro Manila in both categories. The non-winning grand finalists for the conventional category also received P25,000 while the mobile category grand finalists received P10,000. “The Golden View of Mt. Utopia”, captured by 32-year-old self-taught photographer Reymund Requina from Cebu City, bagged one of the grand prizes under the conventional category. “Sobrang blessing in disguise ng photography sa akin. Nung panahong walang wala ako, itong photography ang sumalba sa akin kaya sobra-sobra talaga ang pasasalamat ko rito,” Requina said. The other conventional category winners were Aljon P. Tugaoen (Over and Under the Rocks of Pangil); Gerardo S. Pacios, Jr. (Batok); Dionisis Q. Silva (Amazing Cave); Louie Lawrence B. Lacson (Side Trip Tayo sa Kabalin-An Pond); Jumelito S. Capilo (The Elusive View of Panimahawa); Alvin B. Cempron (Malitbog); Oliver M. Atienza (Kalinaw sa Malinao (Tranquility of Malinao)); Earl Ryan G. Janubas (Splendid Impasugong); Klienne M.

Palaganas (Remnants of the Golden Past); Rowell C. Clenuar (The Alicia Panoramic Park); Jack David C. Ponpon (Philippines meets the Pacific); Daryl P. Anahaw (Playground of the Gods); Anthony T. Into (Green Dots of Hope); Jessie James Jalon F. Esteban (The Next Chapter: Discovering New Frontiers of El Nido Beach); Sherbien M. Dacalanio (Warzone to Wow Zone); Alvin Mike M. Mahait (The Gentle Pawikan of Negros); Gerard Jonathan C. Laserna (Gentle Beast); and Ronald P. Portula (Tropical State of Mind). Mindanao regional screening judge and nature and commercial photographer Edwin Martinez commended PAGCOR for reviving the competition, which highlighted the country’s vast tourism potentials. “This is a very good project as it does not only help develop the talent of our photographers but, more importantly, promotes our tourism industry especially the places that are not so famous but can rival the other known spots in the country in terms of beauty,” he said. The other prominent photographers and artists who served as judges were Jijo de Guzman, Bobot Go, Lauren Malcampo, Wig Tysmans, Pepper Teehankee, Edwin Tuyay, Jo Avila, Jilson Tiu, Ernie Sarmiento, Wawi Navarozza, Sherwin Magsino and Noel Guevara.

AI and business: Insights from UPMG Philippines confab
The United Print Multimedia Group Philippines held its general membership meeting on 30 August 2023, at Escolta Lucky Chinatown Hotel. The event aimed to delve into the dynamic interplay between artificial intelligence and the media landscape. UPMG President Barbie L. Atienza set the tone for the day's discussions: learning from UPMG members who had recently participated at the 74th World News Media Congress on 28-30 in Taipei, Taiwan. Sherly O. Baula, UPMG Treasurer and Credit and Collection Manager of Chinese Commercial News, shed light on the pros and cons of AI integration in newsrooms, citing concerns on job displacement and authenticity on one hand, while also highlighting AI's potential to streamline newsroom processes and innovate content creation, such as AI-generated listicles engaging animated videos. A notable example she cited was the debut of the AI-generated news anchor named "Fedha" on a Kuwaiti news channel. Baula's also unpacked policies and rules that now govern AI in newsrooms worldwide, touching on issues such as transparency, ethics, data quality, verification methods, staff expertise and collaborations between data scientists and journalists. One key concern was restoring public trust, particularly given AI's potential to disseminate misinformation through tools like deepfakes. Baula proposed a robust framework for newsrooms, including AI usage guidelines, transparent labeling of AI-generated content, human oversight and rigorous fact-checking by seasoned news editors. In conclusion, Baula stressed that AI remains an evolving technology, requiring the integration of human oversight to balance creative and ethical dimensions of news production. Jay Sarmiento, Vice-President of UPMG, and Sales & Marketing Director of Philstar Media Group, shared his insights on a range of business models that news outlets can leverage amid the AI revolution. She underscored the potential for AI to enhance operations rather than supplant traditional journalism. With decentralization of the web gaining momentum, Sarmiento emphasized the need to refine business models and urged news organizations to embrace AI's transformative potential and chart strategies beyond established Big Tech, as this approach could yield untapped intellectual property revenue streams. Sarmiento introduced a spectrum of 15 business models that news companies could consider, ranging from paid content provision to data mining and affiliate marketing. News companies should capitalize on their unique strengths to select three models that align with their core competencies, thereby creating fresh revenue streams, she said. Angel V. Guerrero, UPMG Board Secretary and Publisher of Adobo Magazine, closed the event by noting that the meeting was a shared journey of exploration, learning and empowerment for UPMG members.

TOFA honors this year’s Presidential Volunteer Service awardees
The Outstanding Filipinos in America, an organization that honors the achievements of Filipinos in the USA, named the 2023 Presidential Volunteer Service Awardees during the recent awarding ceremony at the Triad Theater in New York City. Founded by New York-based journalist Elton Lugay, TOFA acknowledged individuals who rendered their talents and skills, expertise and wisdom in diverse community events around the United States. The distinction was acknowledged by the office of The White House in Washington, D.C. This year’s recipients included senior creative manager Angelene Coronel, healthcare worker Richie Garcia, special education teacher Deirdre Levy, public health expert Rachelle Peraz Ocampo, civil rights advocate Clifford Robin Temprosa and digital creators Dennis Almario, Chris Labaco, Jonathan Maravilla, Erwin Pajarillo and Eric Relucio. Dominating the roster were artists and performers Arianne Aldecoa, Denise Kara Almario, Bernice Bernabe, Eric Celerio, Marga Empress, Manilyn Gemproso, Asia Guzman, Melody Himarangan, Erno Hormillosa Jr., Gene Juanich, Hansel Mendoza, Morris Montilla, Marcus Oche, Bobby Ramiro, Ellis Young, Hannah Zapanta and Mark Anthony Atienza. Atienza, a graduate of Bachelor of Arts in Music Production from the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, recalled that he was surprised with the recognition. He thought he was just only attending the affair. “I feel honored and blessed to receive this award. It continues to motivate and inspire me to constantly give back to the community,” he said. Since residing in the US since 2021, he sang in Filipino restaurants, including Kabayan and Kusina Pinoy Bistro. Atienza was the opening act of some biggest celebrities’ concerts, such as Morissette Amon, Marcelito Pomoy, Erik Santos, Gary Valenciano and KZ Tandingan. He likewise has been part of special traditional Masses such as Simbang Gabi and social gatherings of the Philippine consulate and the Philippine Independence Day Council Inc. With his determination and passion, Atienza, along with his fellow TOFA singers Almario, Guzman, Relucio, Young, Zapanta, Neeko Delos Santos and Geo Rebucas, showcased their vocal prowess with the US National Anthem during the Filipino Heritage Night at a National Basketball Association game at Madison Square Garden in November 2022. They were also invited to serenade the White House for its Christmas Open House in December 2022. Despite missing his home country, Atienza shared that he temporarily decided to stay abroad because of the opportunities which opened up for his career. “As an independent artist during the pandemic, it was really hard for me because I had no place to perform,” he stated. “No way to somehow make a living with my music.” He lauded all musicians and digital creators in the industry for inspiring him to become a better person. “I hope and pray that with your art and contents that you’re making, you’ll continue to use it to make an impact on our society.” Atienza wrote songs for multimedia companies GMA Music and Viva Music. His original pieces were also featured in the movie Walwal, which was directed by award-winning filmmaker and Benilde Digital Filmmaking chairperson Jose Javier “Joey” Reyes. He recently released his debut album 20/20, which was based on his own experiences of love and heartbreak during the coronavirus pandemic.

Acuzar banners house trading expo
Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar will be the main guest at the convergence of real estate practitioners, as the National Real Estate Association holds its three-day housing trade exhibit and mid-year membership meeting this 17 July at the Activity Center, Ayala Malls, Makati City. According to NREA chairperson Imelda Magtoto, One Filipinos Worldwide Partylist Representative Marissa “Del Mar” Magsino, Makati City Mayor Abigail Binay-Campos and Glorietta Malls general manager Sherlene Cruz will also be gracing the gathering. On the other hand, National president Ruth Marie Atienza said the mid-year meeting will honor NREA officers for the successful holding of NREA’s 2023 Chairman’s Cup Golf Tournament held last 30 May at Wack-Wack Golf and Country Club, and NREA’s national convention. Both were held with DHSUD. Among the mid-year meeting awardees are NREA trustee and executive vice president Red Rosales, who served as the overall national convention chairman; adviser and golf tournament co-chairman Bansan Choa; Emie Pulido, treasurer and golf tournament co-chair; Adviser Marcelino C. Mendoza; and the NREA Secretariat — EA Lhane Sta. Juana, Aileen Garlitos, Ma. Lourdes Angeles, Paul Santos and Bernardo Ejada. Moreover, Department of the Interior and Local Government-Bureau of Local Government Development Director Anna Liza Bonagua will also be awarded for her contribution to inviting all the LGUs nationwide to join the NREA national convention. Honorary members and new NREA members will also be inducted during the event. The national convention, held last 1 and 2 June, focused on catalyzing housing sectoral convergence behind the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino or 4PH Program of the Marcos Jr. administration. The 4PH program aims to build one million housing units annually until 2028 to address the country’s housing gap. Earlier, Acuzar expressed his support for Senate Bill 2108, filed by Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go, which aims to institutionalize the 4PH Program. The bill provides a mechanism to subsidize amortization and interest for the beneficiaries, with potential buyers. Further, the NREA convention attracted the participation of some 250 delegates, including 15 city/municipal mayors, officer-representatives of local government units (LGUs) from around the country, NREA members nationwide, partner organizations and other professionals. LGUs are the main proponents and implementers of housing projects under 4PH. Also launched during the convention were NREA’s Multi-listing System, a database of realty properties for sale, and a directory/network of NREA real estate brokers and salespersons. The event is supported by OFW Partylist; Chanti Gems; Mapecon Philippines, Inc.; Duraville Realty and Development Corporation; PHirst Park Homes, Inc.; Bria Homes, Inc.; Davies Paint Philippines, Inc.; E.

Sustain Dermalog warrants, CA asked
One of Dermalog’s joint venture agreement partners has urged the Court of Appeals to sustain the arrest warrants issued by Branch 224 of the Quezon City Regional Trial Court to detain four company officials in connection with a case for estafa. Verzontal Builders Inc. filed the petition before the CA in connection with the case it brought against the respondents in September 2021. The company claimed that after finishing their obligations under the JVA, it has not received from Dermalog the entire amount agreed upon as payment. Dermalog was accused by Verzontal of theft in the amount of P797,505,023. A German biometrics company, Dermalog served as the IT provider of the Land Transportation Office related to its driver’s licensing system. The prosecutor did not recommend bail for the respondents’ temporary release from custody due to the size of the amount. RTC Judge Zita Marie Magundayao Atienza-Fajardo ordered the arrest of Dermalog officials Gunther Mill, Randolf Sitz, Michael Schutt and Lynne Ocampo. Dermalog representatives were compelled but failed to appear before the Senate Blue Ribbon conducting public hearings on problems facing the LTO’s IT platform, including delays in the provision of services and alleged undue fees. The last hearing of the Senate committee snubbed by Dermalog was last 8 June. Its officials were in Germany, according to its lawyer. Dermalog, the senators noted, is also facing allegations of wrongdoings in Indonesia, Angola, and Haiti. The LTO’s IT contract is currently being audited by the Commission on Audit to see if the problems auditors identified in the 2021 audit report had been fixed.
