MVP eyes MPTC float by next year
After the voluntary delisting of his infrastructure investment firm Metro Pacific Investments Corp. or MPIC from the local bourse, businessman Manuel V. Pangilinan is now planning to offer the shares of his tollways venture Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. or MPTC to the public by next year. “After the delisting, we will list our tollways... next year. The Maynilad has got to list by 2026. We will list our major subsidiaries,” Pangilinan said in an interview with reporters on the sidelines of the Mining Philippines 2023 International Conference and Exhibition on Wednesday. MPTC is the operator of the North Luzon Expressway, Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway, Cavite-Laguna Expressway, Manila-Cavite Expressway, NLEX Connector, and Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway. On the other hand, Maynilad, MPIC’s joint venture with DMCI Holdings, and Marubeni Corp., serves the west zone of the Greater Metro Manila area, covering 17 cities and municipalities. Tender offer closed Relatedly, in a separate disclosure to the stock exchange on Wednesday, MPIC confirmed that the tender offer for its shares is now closed. The company report stated that the total of tendered shares, excluded shares, and other non-public shares is equivalent to 97.22 percent of MPIC’s total issued and outstanding listed shares and has exceeded the threshold required to complete the voluntary delisting. Once tendered shares are accepted and crossed, MPIC’s public float will fall to 2.78 percent. Its total tendered shares, excluded shares, and other non-public shares, on the other hand, will be above the voluntary delisting threshold of at least 95 percent. Thus, bidders can now expect MPIC’s delisting around October. The Cross Date is scheduled for 26 September, while the Settlement Date is scheduled for 28 September. Commenting on these MPIC developments, Pangilinan said: “It’s amazing that the acceptances have been more than 99 percent. What are the implicit messages of that, the times have moved on. My theory is that conglomerates are passe.” Pangilinan noted that companies are now focusing on their ventures that are easier and simpler to analyze with only one product. “Filipinos have a natural aversion to something big, that is why our stock exchange is too small. And because it’s too small it impinges on the issue of liquidity. Investors, even foreign investors, want to go in and be able to get out whenever they want to,” he explained. MPIC currently owns 47.5 percent of Manila Meralco, 99.9 percent of Metro Pacific Tollways Corp., 52.8 percent of Maynilad Water Services Inc., 20 percent of Metro Pacific Health Corp., and other assets. It is the Philippine arm of Hong Kong-based investment holding firm First Pacific Company Ltd. It has interests in tollways, water distribution and sewerage services, railways, hospitals, power generation, and distribution.

High seas treaty moves closer to reality with first signatures
Dozens of nations on Wednesday began signing a first-ever treaty on protecting the international high seas, raising hopes that it will come into force soon and protect threatened ecosystems vital to the planet. "It's an amazing moment to be here and see such multilateral cooperation and so much hope," said actor Sigourney Weaver said in New York as the signatures opened. The treaty marks change in "the way we view the ocean, from a big garbage dump and a place where we can take stuff, to a place that we take care of, that we steward, we respect," she told AFP. Around 70 countries are set to sign the treaty on Wednesday on the sidelines of the annual UN General Assembly, including the United States, Chile, Fiji, Norway, and the European Union as a whole. But each country must still ratify the treaty under its own domestic process. The treaty will come into force 120 days after 60 countries ratify it. "It is clear that the ocean is in urgent need of protection," said Belgium's deputy prime minister, Vincent van Quickenborne. Without action, "it's game over," he said. After 15 years of discussion, the United Nations sealed the first treaty on the high seas in June by consensus, although Russia said it had reservations. The start of signatures marks "a new chapter" of "establishing meaningful protections" for the oceans, said Nichola Clark of the Ocean Governance Project at The Pew Charitable Trusts. The high seas are defined as the ocean starting beyond countries' exclusive economic zones, or 200 nautical miles (370 kilometers) off coastlines -- covering nearly half the planet. Nonetheless, they have long been ignored in discussions on the environment. A key tool in the treaty will be the ability to create protected marine areas in international waters -- only around one percent of which are now protected by any sort of conservation measures. The treaty is seen as crucial to an agreement to protect 30 percent of the world's oceans and lands by 2030, as agreed by governments in a separate historic accord on biodiversity reached in Montreal in December. 'Race to ratification' Mads Christensen, interim executive director of Greenpeace International, voiced hope that the treaty would come into force in 2025, when the next UN oceans conference takes place in France. "We have less than seven years to protect 30 percent of the oceans. There is no time to waste," he said. "The race to ratification has begun and we urge countries to be ambitious, ratify the treaty and make sure it enters into force in 2025." But even if the treaty draws the 60 ratifications needed to come into force, it would still be well below the universal support for action sought by environmental defenders. Oceans are critical for the health of the whole planet, protecting often microscopic biodiversity that supports half of the oxygen breathed by land life. The oceans are also critical to limiting climate change by helping absorb greenhouse gas emissions. The treaty, officially known as the treaty on "Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction" or BBNJ, also introduces requirements to carry out environmental impact studies for proposed activities on the high seas. Such activities, while not listed in the text, would include anything from fishing and maritime transport to more controversial pursuits such as deep-sea mining or even geo-engineering programs aimed at fighting global warming.

High seas treaty to move closer to reality with first signatures
Dozens of nations are set Wednesday to sign a historic treaty on protecting the high seas, seeking the quick entry into force of an accord designed to protect ecosystems vital to the planet. The United Nations in July sealed the first treaty on the high seas after 15 years of discussion. The start of signatures, during the annual UN General Assembly, "represents an important step to establishing meaningful protections," said Nichola Clark of the Ocean Governance Project of The Pew Charitable Trusts. "We begin a new chapter where the global community must take bold action in order to realize those protections, and ensure the ocean's enormous reservoirs of biodiversity continue to provide benefits for ocean health and the communities across the globe that depend on it," she said. The text of the treaty was formally adopted by consensus even though Russia said that parts of it were unacceptable. The high seas start beyond countries' exclusive economic zones, or 200 nautical miles (370 kilometers) off coastlines -- covering nearly half the planet.

BPO group sets $59-B growth goal
The Contact Center Association of the Philippines, made up of more than 150 business process and outsourcing companies, has pegged its growth target for the industry to reach $59 billion by 2028, given the continuous development in the sector, particularly the enduring embrace of digitization. In a press conference on Tuesday at the Peninsula Manila, CCAP managing director Rosario Cajucom-Bradbury said of the revenue target of $59 billion by 2028 — about $49 billion of which is expected from CCAP-member companies. The sector has posted actual revenue of $27 billion in 2022, which accounts for 84 percent of the total revenue of the IT-BPM industry ($32 billion). The aggressive target is part of the 2028 IT-BPM Roadmap, which was launched in the third quarter of 2022, coinciding with the start of the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. It also sets a target of 2.5 million full-time employees (2.3 million to be accounted for by CCAP-member firms) and a 40 percent countryside expansion. The aggressive target is part of the 2028 IT-BPM Roadmap, which was launched in the third quarter of 2022, coinciding with the start of the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. In 2022, the contact center sector employed 1.4 million individuals, which is 87 percent of the 1.6 million total employment of the local IT-BPM industry. Also, she shared that their group is working hand-in-hand with the government, particularly the Department of Information and Communications Technology to transform the countryside into a BPO industry ready. The CCAP and DICT consider Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, Metro Clark, Bacolod City, Davao City and Iloilo City as BPO centers of excellence, while the Cities of Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Dumaguete, Dasmariñas in Cavite, Lipa in Batangas, Naga and Sta Rosa in Laguna as next wave cities.

Pampanga’s Best Western Plus redesigns for MICE tourism
The hotel industry shared the biggest burden from the lockdowns brought on by the two-year pandemic. This, however, forced hotel owners to redesign their facilities to cater to customers besides tourists. To appeal to more businesspeople, the four-star Best Western Plus hotel in Pampanga is upgrading into a lifestyle center and food destination. “The opening of the new wing of the Best Western Plus hotel came at the right time. We were building it and deciding almost every day as the pandemic unfolded. We had to decide, follow through and look past the pandemic,” Jack Uy, chairman and chief executive officer of Savers Group Holdings, Inc. told the Daily Tribune. Uy said the hotel is still being renovated to add retail shops after welcoming its first guests in March at the new wing with 186 rooms along MacArthur Highway, Balibago, Angeles City, Pampanga. [caption id="attachment_131550" align="aligncenter" width="525"] Presidential Suite.[/caption] He said the hotel has expanded through its lifestyle center, which occupies an entire building floor and features modern, luxurious and globally branded appliances and furniture for home, office and industrial. These cater to customer segments consisting of businesspeople and those in the middle to upper socioeconomic classes with more sophisticated tastes and combine business and leisure. “We call this our lifestyle center. People now shop because they build a lifestyle more than fulfilling a need. So, they’re not looking for just one or two items but everything that matches their lifestyles, from the appliance to the furniture,” Uy said. [caption id="attachment_131551" align="aligncenter" width="525"] Conference Room.[/caption] Uy said most of their guests, or 70 percent, are corporate executives and staff from local and multinational firms who gather for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibits tourism. “Unlike other provinces, Pampanga does not have a lot of natural attractions like the beaches in Boracay or Palawan. That’s why over half of our visitors check in because of company meetings, events and team-building activities. It helps that we’re located near the airport and Clark Freeport Zone, an economic zone.” Property consultancy Colliers Philippines said Pampanga housed 36 percent of all offices in the country’s provinces. Information technology and business process outsourcing firms expanded outside Metro Manila in the first quarter of this year. This industry is expected to grow further by eight percent to 10 percent each year, as the Philippines has emerged as the world’s top IT-BPO destination, according to US-based Nexford University. [caption id="attachment_131552" align="aligncenter" width="525"] Lobby.[/caption] Last year, Colliers reported the Philippine Economic Zone Authority identified 42 ecozones in Central Luzon, including Pampanga, as the location for biotech centers, defense industrial complexes, halal and food production hubs, and jewelry parks, among others. The move is part of the government’s Philippine Development Plan 2023 to 2028. The hotel also features several restaurants serving international cuisines: Mexican at Cactus Jack Smokehouse, Japanese at Namari, and Hong Kong at Legend. “Most people also visit Pampanga as the Culinary Capital of the Philippines. But we want our local and foreign guests to have as diverse experiences as possible,” Uy said. The post Pampanga’s Best Western Plus redesigns for MICE tourism appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
