Former OTS chief lambasts cultural decay at airports
The former Office for Transportation Security chief lambasted the cultural decay in the airport security teams that allows negligent screeners to continue working there, this before he could begin an internal purge. Ma. O Ranada Aplasca, who resigned from his post over the airport screener caught on closed-circuit television swallowing $300 bills taken from an outbound Chinese national, said the problem with airport security is “more than systemic, it is cultural.” “There was the problem with ‘tanim-bala.’ Maybe the problems were not highlighted in the past because no one was caught. Based on our records, for the past several years, no one was dismissed in the OTS for violations of our disciplinary policies,” he said. Aplasca said when he was the director of the PNP Aviation Security Group, his initial task was to clear the country’s airports of the “tanim-bala” scheme, in which airport inspectors hid bullets in travelers’ luggage to extort money. “That tanim-bala was the first marching order to me by former President Duterte, and that’s where I felt his 100-percent support; that’s why, in less than one month, we were able to solve the problem,” he said. Aplasca said that before his resignation Tuesday, the OTS had initiated 68 cases against erring personnel, with at least 11 people dismissed. Found guilty Meanwhile, DoTr Secretary Jaime Bautista said the female Security Screening Officer and three other OTS screeners involved in the cash swallowing incident last 8 September were “found guilty of stealing.” Bautista said the guilty verdict was included in the investigation report handed to him by the OTS group of investigators, which included the CCTV footage that showed the lady scanner stuffing the money into her mouth at Terminal 1’s final security checkpoint at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. The four SSO screeners face administrative and criminal cases. “The investigation showed that she was guilty and swallowed the money. However, what she said in an affidavit was that it was chocolates. But the investigators saw that she was guilty,” Bautista said in Filipino in an interview with the media after a Senate hearing on Tuesday. The CCTV footage showed that at around 8:20 p.m. on 8 September, a Chinese passenger, identified only as Mr. Cai, placed his shoulder bag on the inspection tray at the final security checkpoint. After trying to promote the gateway to potential foreign investors who may want to operate the NAIA, Bautista expressed frustration and dismay at the incident. He authorized the imposition of the maximum penalty on those found guilty to demonstrate the Department of Transportation’s determined push to rid the NAIA and attached agencies of scalawags. Aplasca submitted his courtesy resignation last Tuesday, 26 September, to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. through DoTr Secretary Bautista after House Speaker Martin Romualdez told him to resign or the Speaker would personally block the budgets of the DoTr and OTS. Not enough Meanwhile, Senator Grace Poe said Wednesday the resignation of Aplasca would not be enough to stop the criminal activities at the country’s airports. “A resignation at the top does not clean up the ranks,” said Poe, who chairs the Senate Committee on Public Services. “More than ever, the Office of Transportation Security needs steady leadership to implement much-needed reforms,” she said. “There should be zero tolerance for criminal acts and unprofessional behavior,” she added. “While a witch hunt might put a syndicate on pause, the OTS urgently needs to review and tighten its security program,” she said. She continued: “Our airports should improve the physical layout of the security screening stations and provide proactive measures to prevent further incidents.” She also noted that the challenge now is to appoint someone with “immense political will to overhaul the agency and stop these incidents once and for all.” The senator stressed that the OTS must improve its hiring system and enforce ethics training. “Employees must undergo extensive background checks,” she said. “In the long-term, we should also look into providing better compensation and benefits to these employees so they would not be enticed to do this nonsense,” she added.

Cloud aids banks scale up operations
One of the world’s leading open platforms for composable banking, Temenos, underlined that cloud applications can help banking institutions efficiently scale up operations. Temenos serves 3000 banks from the largest to challengers and community banks in 150-plus countries by helping them build new banking services and state-of-the-art customer experiences. Temenos Banking Cloud, the company’s SaaS offering, is used by over 700 clients across more than 30 jurisdictions. During Temenos Cloud Forum 2023 forum for bank professionals in the Philippines, graced by representatives from the leading banks in the country, Temenos Financial Services Partner for Ernst and Young, Anurag Mishra, discussed “Banking Transformation” explaining that the cloud could help banks to efficiently scale their operations and design customer experiences which are more engaging. “One of the most important shifts that is happening is on the customer side. Banking is going to transition while customers are demanding ‘hyper-personalization’ and that requires new technologies. Today is the best time to shift from a technology perspective because the number of options to deliver on customer experience is huge and the cloud can solve specific problems,” according to Mishra in his presentation. On the other hand, Temenos Business Solution Lead for ASEAN, Rishi Sarin, explained the changing landscape and the challenges in the banking industry. “In a recent report published by Accenture “The ultimate guide to banking in the Cloud 2022,” 94 percent of banking respondents said that about 50 percent of all their banking business and technologies will migrate to the cloud in the next three years, while cloud adoption increased 2x in 2022 compared to 2021. There are currently huge investments by Cloud providers in the market so when we offer it as a service, it’s not only the reliability that comes in, but we can also provide security, stability and resilience,” Sarin said. He reiterated that the traditional set-up in which banks usually manufacture and distribute their own products, is changing fast as end-customers are demanding financial services at the point of need and it doesn’t necessarily matter to them who is providing those services. This fundamental shift is giving rise to new business models like embedded finance or Banking-as-a-Service. Temenos Principal Solution Consultant for Digital Banking Solutions for Asia-Pacific, Bala Carcharla, highlighted the three stages of “Lifestyle Banking.” The post Cloud aids banks scale up operations appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
‘You are supposed to preserve life’: Hontiveros slams PNP over Jemboy Baltazar’s death
A Senate panel on Tuesday tackled the recent killing of Jerhode Jemboy Baltazar by six members of the Navotas Police Station. During the hearing, Senator Risa Hontiveros slammed the actions of members of the Philippine National Police who are supposed to protect citizens from harm and any type of danger. Hontiveros questioned why the PNP allowed members of the Special Weapons And Tactics Philippines or SWAT team as well as their intelligence service to conduct the operation against the unarmed 17-year-old Baltazar, who later on turned out to be the victim of mistaken identity. Hontiveros likewise lambasted the police officers for leaving the victim’s body after shooting him dead, saying their act was a violation of PNP policies. “Sirs, you are supposed to preserve life, not take it,” she said. Hontiveros chided the PNP for filing only reckless imprudence resulting in homicide cases against the involved policemen. “Parang ang lumalabas, aksidente lang ang nangyari, na walang intensyong pumatay nang pinaulanan nila ng bala ang bata (It appears that it was just an accident, that there was no intention to kill when they rained bullet on the child). I want to know the reasoning behind filing such a case. 'Yang lahat-lahat na yan, yan na ba ang sinasabing new era of policing? (All these, is this what's called the new era of policing?), ” she stressed. Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa said the chamber’s hearing seeks clarification on the status of administrative and criminal cases involving PNP personnel involved in shooting incidents during police operations. “Similar to all our other hearings, we are here not to point fingers nor to determine the guilt or innocence of anyone, but we will focus on the three policy considerations,” he said. Dela Rosa said the Navotas police officers involved breached the PNP’s rules of engagement. The Senate panel is looking at whether the PNP guidelines on the use of body-worn cameras were strictly followed, and if there are sufficient training programs being conducted by the PNP to ensure that their personnel are, at all times, knowledgeable with policies and procedures on police operations.

Up the stairs and into the Turf Room, Sigma Deltans gathered, the setting gorgeous with fresh flowers, twinkling lights, a stage set with glittering decorations. And for that extra detail that never fails to thrill, a little gift to each attendee lay by each plate, courtesy of the generous Monalisa “Mona” Lacanlale ’68 — president and chairperson of the Board. [caption id="attachment_146591" align="aligncenter" width="525"] Mona Lacanlale inspires everyone with her plans and programs.[/caption] Her team members, of course, came in full force, never mind the uncertainty of the weather that day.

Toward this end, the new Board laid out its goals for the next two years. Along with ongoing projects like digitalization and keeping certain traditions, two major projects will be established. The first is mangrove restoration in selected locations across the country, to be led by Maria Fe “Marife” Recinto ’83 (3rd VP, Chairperson of Social Action and Civics Committee; Environmental Concerns Committee). Feeding programs in each locale will be organized as part of the mangrove sustainability campaign. “Mangroves are very important as they are breeding sites of many sea creatures. What’s more, they help against erosion and are protection against tsunamis. Have you also ever stopped to see the beauty of their roots?” said artist Ofelia Gelvezon Tequi ’59 in a Viber chat. Musical production The second project is closest to the heart of SDP, a Society of Dramatics and Fine Arts. Announcement of a musical production was met with loud applause. “The project on the musical is a long time due, and it will entail a lot of time and work, but this is a great project,” commented Cecille ’74.

Celera 2000 (Corporate Secretary); and Maribel Guevara Cabrera ’75 (Head Executive Officer) led the dancing, though it took not much prodding for fun-loving sisters to join in. “Never saw dancing like this. The entire place was a dance floor. Everyone danced in front, at the sides and back. Those that cannot walk danced!” commented Maribel the next day. “It was something different,” recalled Board president Mona, who made sure every detail was perfect. All 123 guests enjoyed a feast, music and a camaraderie that transcended age and time. Till the next At-Home!

Joy, fear as India’s population becomes world’s biggest
Exhausted, elated and cradling her newborn daughter in a rundown government hospital, young mother Manu Bala had just helped make India the world's most populous nation. Tears of joy and relief streamed down Bala's cheeks as her as-yet-unnamed child -- one of more than 67,000 born across India on Monday -- rested on her chest. It was also the day the UN announced that India, already home to more than one in every six humans on the planet, would this week eclipse China with more people than any other country. "I am very happy that my child was born on the day India left behind China -- it feels special to become a mother on this day," the 22-year-old housewife told AFP from her bed. "I want my baby to study hard and become whatever she wants to become. I want to give her a good life." Bala had writhed in agony on her gurney inside the crowded and somewhat decrepit maternity ward of her Himalayan town's public hospital. Flanked by nurses in green and white overalls, her face turned pale as she lay on a bare bed with her feet mounted in stirrups. "Push harder," the doctor urged the first-time mother in the labor room, while her husband and mother-in-law waited anxiously outside. Sweat trickling down her forehead, Bala winced in pain and clasped the sides of the bed before the final push, met with a round of cheers from the staff. Holding the baby to her chest with relief writ large on her face, she mustered up one final reservoir of energy to thank the doctor and nurses. Bala's husband Rohit, a state government employee, was relieved that the birth was without complications and ecstatic about becoming a father. He already has his mind turned to the weeks ahead: the family will have a naming ceremony 11 days after the birth, with the assistance of a Hindu priest consulting astrological charts for an auspicious moniker. But beyond that, Rohit was fretting over the future awaiting his daughter. "There are many problems we have to face because of the growing population," the 30-year-old told AFP. "Even for seeing the doctor here we had to queue up for so long." India faces huge challenges in providing electricity, food and housing for its growing population. Many of its cities struggle with water shortages, air and water pollution, and packed slums. Millions of young people are entering the workforce each year and struggling to find opportunities in an economy that does not have the capacity to provide them all with jobs. "Already there is so much unemployment in the country. It will become all the more difficult to get a job," Rohit said. "I think one baby is enough in today's times."
