Rice sellers’ aid continues
Rice retailers who were hit hard by the implementation of Executive Order 39 continue to receive subsidies of P15,000 each throughout the country, the Department of Trade and Industry reported on Saturday. Along with representatives of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, DTI representatives successfully distributed cash assistance to the first batch of micro rice retailers in Northern Mindanao from 13 to 15 September 2023. The cash assistance was through DSWD’s Sustainable Livelihood Program (cash assistance for micro rice retailers). According to the DTI, 92 percent or 36 out of 39 qualified micro rice retailers in Northern Mindanao, which consists of Bukidnon, the island province of Camiguin, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental, and Misamis Oriental, received cash assistance during the simultaneous payouts. Meanwhile, the remaining three rice retailers are set to receive cash assistance in their respective DSWD provincial offices within the week. “DTI Region 10 commits to the fast-tracking of the profiling of more qualified beneficiaries in the region in preparation for the next round of financial assistance distribution while also conducting day-to-day monitoring of prices and supply of rice in the market,” the DTI statement said. Meanwhile, in the Caraga Region, the DTI said 100 percent of verified micro rice retailers received cash assistance. The post Rice sellers’ aid continues appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Bill seeks more Shari’ah Courts
Senator Robinhood Padilla has filed Senate Bill 2215 pushing for the establishment of additional Shari’ah Courts in the country to make an “equitable and speedy justice system” become accessible to more Muslim Filipinos. SB 2215 proposed amendments to Presidential Decree 1083, citing the 1987 Constitution’s provision that the “State shall recognize, respect and protect the rights of indigenous cultural communities to preserve and develop their cultures, traditions and institutions.” “This is to ensure that our Muslim brothers and sisters across the archipelago will have better access to the specialized knowledge and expertise of Shari’ah judges, promoting fair and equal treatment of Muslims under the law, regardless of their geographic location,” Padilla told reporters on Saturday. Padilla also stressed the growing number of Muslim Filipinos and the increasing rate of migration across the country “calls for the need to establish additional justice districts” to resolve disputes involving Muslim customary and personal laws. Under the proposed measure, three Shari’ah districts shall be established in addition to five existing district courts, which have territorial jurisdiction only over the Mindanao areas including in Sulu; Tawi-Tawi; Basilan, Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur and Dipolog, Pagadian, and Zamboanga Cities; Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur and Iligan and Marawi Cities; and Maguindanao, North Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat and Cotabato City. The bill pushed for the sixth district for Bukidnon, Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Camiguin, Cagayan de Oro City and provinces in Davao Region and Caraga. Seventh district for provinces within Western Visayas, Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, and Mimaropa; while the eighth district shall be built within Metro Manila Cordillera, and Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Calabarzon and Bicol Region. The bill also seeks for the establishment of permanent stations should the three new districts will be established in Davao City (sixth district); Cebu City (seventh district); and Manila City (eighth district). So far, the existing permanent stations are in Jolo, Sulu; Bongao, Tawi-Tawi; Zamboanga City; Marawi City; and Cotabato City. These Shari’ah courts are under the supervision of the Supreme Court of the Philippines. Shari’ah District Court is roughly equivalent to the Regional Trial Court in the regular and secular Philippine court system — which is primarily bound by Islamic laws for the protection of life, property and mind of Muslim Filipinos.
