SEC Cebu cracks down on bogus investment firms
The Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday warned Cebuanos on fraudulent investment companies amid its crackdown against unlicensed securities sellers. “The prevalence of fraudulent investment solicitations is something we have to keep in mind. Never invest in companies that have no secondary license from the SEC,” Atty. Sheara Lupangco-Tamayo, director of the SEC Cebu Extension Office, said. “Our mandate to investigate and take out these criminals who threaten the public’s financial safety is never-ending. The public can cooperate by reporting violators, companies and/or individuals,” Tamayo added. SEC Cebu’s Enforcement and Investor Protection Department has filed a criminal complaint against two companies for soliciting investments from the public without the proper license from the SEC, in violation of Republic Act 8799 or the Securities Regulation Code. The EIPD charged Astral Fuel, Apollo Drugstore and Diagnostics Center Inc., One Oasis Premier Holdings Corporation and Kalahari Leisure Farm Club Inc. for violating Sections 8.1, 26, 28 and 51.3 of the SRC. The complaint is directed at Astra Fuel and Apollo president and chairman Ramon Julius Grajo, who also established One Oasis and Kalahari. Included in the complaint were 50 other beneficial owners, directors and officials of the mentioned companies. The case stemmed from various inquiries from the public in March 2021 regarding the authority of Astral Fuel and Apollo to solicit investments from the public. On 23 September 2021, the EIPD posted an advisory on the SEC website, warning the public against investing in Apollo. SEC received several complaint-affidavits from the public stating that Astral Fuel and Apollo conducted investment solicitation activities through social media sites such as Facebook, Youtube and Google which were verified by the EIPD. Both Apollo and Astral Fuel are registered with SEC, but they don’t have license to solicit investments nor applied for such license. The SRC prohibits the sale or distribution of securities in the Philippines without a registration duly filed with and approved by SEC. Brokers engaged in the business of buying or selling securities are likewise required to be registered with the SEC. The Daily Tribune tried to interview Grajo for his side, but he has not replied as of presstime. The post SEC Cebu cracks down on bogus investment firms appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»

NASA launches final pair of storm tracker satellite quartet
NASA has launched the final pair of a satellite quartet designed to track tropical cyclones hour by hour, in a project that could improve weather predictions on devastating storms. The storm trackers, sent into orbit on a rocket built by US company Rocket Lab and launched from New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula early Friday, completed the TROPICS constellation of shoebox-sized satellites. They can fly over hurricanes (or typhoons in the Pacific) every hour, compared to every six hours with current satellites. "As a lifelong Floridian, I know firsthand how critical it is for millions of Americans to have timely and accurate forecasts for hurricanes," NASA administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement. "More intense rainfall and increased coastal flooding are devastating livelihoods and taking lives, demonstrating the importance of NASA's cutting-edge science to help answer questions that nobody else can." The first pair of satellites were launched successfully earlier this month. The information gathered on rainfall, temperature, and humidity could help scientists determine where a hurricane will make landfall and how intense it will be, helping people living in coastal areas be better prepared for possible evacuations. In the long term, a better understanding of the formation and evolution of these storms could help improve climate models. The constellation was originally intended to have six satellites, not four, but the first two were lost when a US Astra rocket malfunctioned shortly after lift-off last year. Hurricanes, or typhoons, are becoming more powerful as the ocean surface warms, scientists say. Hurricane Ian, which devastated Florida in 2022, killed dozens of people and caused more than $100 billion in damage, making it by far the world's most expensive weather disaster of the year. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Thursday predicted a "near normal" hurricane season with 12 to 17 named storms packing winds of at least 39 mph (63 kph). After three seasons with an atmospheric phenomenon called La Nina, which worsens hurricanes in the Atlantic, NOAA predicts an El Nino to develop this summer, which has a suppressive effect on hurricane activity. But this could be offset by more localized conditions favorable for hurricanes, such as an above-normal West African monsoon, "which produces African easterly waves and seeds some of the stronger and longer-lived Atlantic storms," NOAA said.
