Phl, Australia boost partnership, mull more bilateral military exercises
The Armed Forces of the Philippines and Australian Defense Forces are mulling more bilateral military exercises that will further strengthen and boost both of their military forces. This development came after ADF chief Gen. Angus Campbell paid a courtesy call to AFP chief Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. on Tuesday at the AFP general headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City. Brawner and Campbell discussed the existing defense partnership between the Philippines and Australia as well as the joint Exercise ALON. "We want to showcase the close ties that we have among our Armed Forces. We would also like to thank you for the recent exercise,” Brawner said. For his part, Campbell emphasized that the ongoing Philippine-Australia bilateral drills serve an “expression of an important message and a demonstration of cooperation among partner nations.” “We want to make sure that the particular form of the military is evolving in ways that the Armed Forces of the Philippines want and that would see mutual benefit and partnership. I want to make sure that we remain a partner that listens and adapts,” Campbell said. Brawner, meanwhile, thanked the Australian Defense Force Chief for the continuous support that they have given to the country. "All have seen how the relationship between both our Armed Forces has grown, from counterterrorism and now shifting to territorial defense. There is a lot of room for us to work together,” Brawner said.

(Photo by AFP PAO)[/caption] From Comprehensive to Strategic Partnership Department of National Defense Undersecretary Ireneo Espino on Tuesday also announced that the Philippines and Australia are now elevating bilateral relations from a Comprehensive Partnership to a Strategic Partnership following their biggest bilateral Cooperative Amphibious Serial exercise. “Indeed, the importance of our two countries' place on security partnership comes at the crucial junction in our regional security landscape with challenges becoming more complex by the day,” Espino said during the closing ceremony of Philippines-Australia Exercise ALON 2023, which was held at Camp General Emilio Aguinaldo in Quezon City. “Our partner can rest assured that DND stands ready to further heighten the Philippines' friendship and cooperation with Australia,” he added. Meanwhile, Bgen, Jimmy Larida, executive director for Exercise ALON-23, described the newly concluded combined amphibious drills between AFP and ADF as a “very resounding success,” noting that the strategic objectives were met throughout the exercises. “We were able to identify what particular procedures where we are already good in dealing with Australia and what particular tactical procedures that we should improve further so we will do everything to improve during the next iteration of this exercise,” Larida said. AFP Public Affairs chief, LtCol. Enrico Gil Ileto, said the largest bilateral exercise conducted between the AFP and ADF included an air assault exercise in Palawan on 21 August and a combined amphibious assault exercise in Zambales on 25 August —which was carried out by launching a combined amphibious landing force from the Navy ships to secure the beach landing sites, followed by parachute insertion to seize the objectives and a simultaneous landing via landing craft and USMC MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. The Palawan air assault exercise in Rizal was designed to simulate realistic combat scenarios, enhancing the forces’ preparedness and operational readiness across air, sea and land actions. It featured over 600 soldiers from the AFP, ADF and USMC, and close air support by Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) F-35A Lightening II and E-7A Wedgetail. Ileto said the assets used in these drills included HMA ships Canberra and Anzac, with the Tarlac-class BRP Davao Del Sur (LD 602), close air support from RAAF F-35A Lightning II aircraft, Australian Army M1A1 Abrams tank and two Philippine Marine Corps Amphibious Assault Vehicles. To mark the final phase of the exercise, the AFP and ADF will hold a live fire training as the final phase in Capas, Tarlac on 31 August. Exercise ALON was designed to enhance both military forces’ capability in conducting combined operations and improved their tactics, techniques and procedures for amphibious operations. Participants were composed of 1,000 personnel from the AFP and 1,200 from the ADF, with support from 150 US Marine Corps.

DENR taps private audit firm on MGB, EMB review
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has recently partnered with Isla Lipana & Co./PwC Philippines to review the systems and processes in the two line bureaus of the DENR — the Mines and Geosciences Bureau and the Environmental Management Bureau. The partnership was formalized through the signing of a memorandum of understanding on Friday at the DENR Central Office in Quezon City. The agreement was signed by DENR Secretary Antonia Loyzaga and Alex Cabrera, chairman emeritus of Isla Lipana & Co. PwC Philippines is a professional services firm engaged in delivering audit and assurance, and tax and advisory services within and outside the Philippines. In a statement, Loyzaga said the recent DENR Field Operations Management Conference has shown areas in the agency where there are gaps in their processes and have the potential for synergy. “This will be an opportunity to actually address those gaps and to build value on the efforts done by everyone in the department,” Loyzaga said. Loyzaga added that the DENR recognized the need for organizational transformation through governance and risk-management as it evolves and adapts to the changing environment and social landscape. This involves critically evaluating the DENR’s existing processes, compliance and identifying opportunities for improvement. In support of the DENR’s transformation initiatives, the project with PwC aims to review the existing policies of the MGB and EMB to identify the major gaps on their processes and functions. MGB is mandated to formulate and implement policies and programs pertaining to geology and the exploration, development, conservation and utilization of mineral resources; while EMB is the primary line bureau responsible for the formulation, supervision and implementation of policies and programs in relation to the prevention and control of pollution, as well as waste management, and environmental impact assessments. The project shall conduct comprehensive assessment using appropriate governance, risk management, and compliance tools to review and assess risks in the existing systems, and processes of MGB and EMB.

It shall also develop a five-year transformation roadmap with corresponding action plans and recommendations for improvement to strengthen the DENR towards better organizational performance. Through the MoU, PwC shall provide technical partnership and assistance to deliver the DENR’s desired outcomes of strengthening the agency and its bureaus, particularly the existing systems and processes in the MGB and EMB. At the end of the project, PwC shall submit a Completion Report with the results of organizational/process diagnosis and assessment; observations and areas for improvement, and an indicative five-year transformation roadmap. Cabrera said that PwC Philippines, as a company that believes in integrity and sustainability, is impressed with the DENR’s plan, which focuses not only on top-level strategic initiatives but also includes sampling a few critical departments referred to as “the center of gravity.” “If we are able to solve these important issues at the most difficult spots of the agency, then it will be no problem solving the rest of the issues,” Cabrera said. Also present during the MoU signing were DENR Undersecretary for Organizational Transformation and Human Resources Augusto dela Peña, Chief of Staff and Supervising Undersecretary for Strategic Communications Marilou Erni, and DENR Legal Affairs Services Director Norlito Eneran; and PwC representatives Geraldine Apostol, Alvin Dave Pusing and Aaron Manalete. Loyzaga had previously said that under her leadership, there will be a comprehensive review of the DENR’s people, processes, products, and services to ensure that the agency will “respond to all stakeholder needs in relation to the directives of the President” and the preservation of the environment and the country’s natural resources.

Move It eyes 1-M app users for year
Banking on its recent mobile application upgrade, homegrown motorcycle taxi company Move It targets to grow its current user base to as much as one million by the end of the year. At a media briefing on Tuesday, Move It general manager Wayne Jacinto said he is optimistic that the technological innovation introduced by the app will attract more commuters to trust the company’s services. “Right now, we have hundreds of thousands of users. For this year, we target to hit one million users. The reason for this optimism is we want to have a higher standard. We are positive about this because of the new app’s features and reliability,” Jacinto told reporters. Tap habal riders Jacinto noted that Move It will reach more areas with plans to tap the informal habal-habal industry and “professionalize” riders. Move It is conducting onboarding campaigns to maximize its current supply allocation of 15,000 riders. “We are firmly advocating to professionalize the motorcycle taxi industry, and that extends to the habal-habal riders as well. Our vision is to create a safe, professionalized, and empowering environment where all our rider-partners, including habal-habal riders, can thrive,” Jacinto said. “Right now, we have hundreds of thousands of users. For this year, we target to hit one million users. The reason for this optimism is we want to have a higher standard. We are positive about this because of the new app’s features and reliability,” Revamped app version Move It officially launched a revamped version of its mobile application for both rider-partners and passengers, which integrated safety and reliability functions from its technology partner Grab. With a focus on reliability and efficiency, the app guarantees an impressive 99.95 percent uptime — ensuring a seamless booking experience, especially during peak hours. Safety features Move It also enhanced safety features, introducing an in-app VOIP calling feature, a Share-My-Ride feature, and a 24/7 Safety Center that provides round-the-clock emergency assistance. Integrating GrabMaps and Navigation, an advanced online mapping system powered by Grab’s extensive data, Move It provides optimized routing that adapts to real-time road changes and updates. The integration ensures precise pinning for pick-up and drop-off locations, significantly improving the overall user experience. To recall, senators recently suggested the removal of the supply cap on motorcycle taxis, especially since motorcycle taxi companies only operate at 30 percent of their capacities, especially during rush hour. The same hearing also revealed that other countries do not impose limits for operating motorcycle taxi units. The post Move It eyes 1-M app users for year appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»

Women initiate change within rigid environment
Women have the capacity to break ground due to their inherent strength, UnionBank executive vice president and chief human resources officer Michelle Rubio said in a forum. “Women have to be honored for being able to do many things, so we can be that change that we want to see for the world,” she said, naming Rosa Henson, a comfort woman in World War II, as one of her key influences. Having that drive for progress is the most crucial factor in climbing the so-called corporate ladder, she added. “As one of the leading banks in the Philippines, UnionBank guarantees a dynamic working environment that adapts to the new demands of the industry,” Rubio underscored. ‘Unlearning’ an asset Despite being open to change, Rubio emphasizes the importance of being intentional. For instance, Rubio has started taking steps to realize her dream of becoming an entrepreneur when she retires from her corporate career. No matter the extent of ambition, intention and drive are key ingredients to achieving them, Rubio said. “My juniors and peers have taught me the importance of unlearning, relearning and learning. We are a product of our past but what is important is moving forward and having that inertia for change. This is not just about the company, but also within us. We need to be adaptive and open.” Rubio said. Constant change plays big role Having gone through it herself, Rubio said that change plays a big role in her current job. Being in human resources, she handles the transformational aspect of UnionBank’s employees. As its chief human resources officer, she harnesses employees’ strongest assets to unleash their full potential. Prior to her job in the bank, Rubio was a practicing engineer. In the process of dabbling in quality assurance and manufacturing, she discovered a talent for managing people — a pivotal moment in her career. My juniors and peers have taught me the importance of unlearning, relearning and learning. “Trust the capabilities of people to contribute, because everyone wants to do great things. Create a space for them to flourish and grow and enable that dynamic culture to happen. This is the culture of the bank: it’s innovative, it’s dynamic, it’s agile,” she said.

World’s ‘oldest’ tree able to reveal planet’s secrets
In a forest in southern Chile, a giant tree has survived for thousands of years and is in the process of being recognized as the oldest in the world. Known as the "Great Grandfather," the trunk of this tree measuring four meters (13 feet) in diameter and 28 meters tall is also believed to contain scientific information that could shed light on how the planet has adapted to climatic changes. Believed to be more than 5,000 years old, it is on the brink of replacing Methuselah, a 4,850-year-old Great Basin bristlecone pine found in California in the United States, as the oldest tree on the planet. "It's a survivor, there are no others that have had the opportunity to live so long," said Antonio Lara, a researcher at Austral University and Chile's center for climate science and resilience, who is part of the team measuring the tree's age. The Great Grandfather lies on the edge of a ravine in a forest in the southern Los Rios region, 800 kilometers (500 miles) to the south of the capital Santiago. It is a Fitzroya cupressoides, a type of cypress tree that is endemic to the south of the continent. In recent years, tourists have walked an hour through the forest to the spot to be photographed beside the new "oldest tree in the world." Due to its growing fame, the national forestry body has had to increase the number of park rangers and restrict access to protect the Great Grandfather. By contrast, the exact location of Methuselah is kept a secret. Also known as the Patagonian cypress, it is the largest tree species in South America. It lives alongside other tree species, such as coigue, plum pine and tepa, Darwin's frogs, lizards, and birds such as the chucao tapaculo and Chilean hawk. For centuries its thick trunk has been chopped down to build houses and ships, and it was heavily logged during the 19th and 20th centuries. Park warden Anibal Henriquez discovered the tree while patrolling the forest in 1972. He died of a heart attack 16 years later while patrolling the same forest on horseback. "He didn't want people and tourists to know (where it was) because he knew it was very valuable," said his daughter Nancy Henriquez, herself a park warden. Henrique's nephew, Jonathan Barichivich, grew up playing amongst the Fitzroya and is now one of the scientists studying the species. In 2020, Barichivich and Lara managed to extract a sample from the Great Grandfather using the longest manual drill that exists, but they did not reach the center. They estimated that their sample was 2,400 years old and used a predictive model to calculate the full age of the tree. Barichivich said that "80 percent of the possible trajectories show the tree would be 5,000 years old." He hopes to soon publish the results. The study has created excitement within the scientific community given that dendrochronology -- the method of dating tree rings to when they were formed -- is less accurate when it comes to older trees as many have a rotten core. This is about more than just a competition to enter the record books though, as the Great Grandfather is a font of valuable information. "There are many other reasons that give value and sense to this tree and the need to protect it," said Lara. There are very few thousands-years-old trees on the planet. "The ancient trees have genes and a very special history because they are symbols of resistance and adaptation. They are nature's best athletes," said Barichivich. "They are like an open book and we are like the readers who read every one of their rings," said Carmen Gloria Rodriguez, an assistant researcher at the dendrochronology and global change laboratory at Austral University. Those pages show dry and rainy years, depending on the width of the rings. Fires and earthquakes are also recorded in those rings, such as the most powerful tremor in history that hit this area in 1960. The Great Grandfather is also considered a time capsule that can offer a window into the past. "If these trees disappear, so too will disappear an important key about how life adapts to changes on the planet," said Barichivich.
