Candidate for Mayor launches bid with promise to make Las Piñas a progressive and modern city

carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Las Piñas, former City Councilor Carlo Aguilar launched his election campaign for the office of Mayor with a promise to make the city both modern and progressive, according to a Manila Bulletin news report. For the newcomers reading this, Aguilar is s the nephew of former senator and business tycoon Manny Villar and is running under the banner of the Nacionalista Party (NP). He filed his candidacy for Mayor months ago.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…

Las Piñas mayoral aspirant Carlo Aguilar officially launched his campaign on Friday, March 28, vowing to transform Las Piñas into a progressive and modern city.

Aguilar detailed his vision for a “New Las Piñas,” a stark contrast to what he described as “Last Piñas,” lamenting that the city has been left behind in terms of infrastructure, economic development, and quality of public services compared to other Metro Manila cities during his campaign rally held at San Ezekiel Moreno Parish Church along C5 Extension in barangay Pulanglupa Uno. 

The campaign kickoff was attended by all local candidates under the Nacionalista Party including party chairman Cynthia Villar who is running for the city’s lone seat in Congress.

In his speech, Aguilar underscored the urgent need for a leadership shift in Las Piñas, stating that the city’s decline in competitiveness, urban planning, and basic services has made life increasingly difficult for residents.

“We were once a leading city, but today, we are lagging. Roads remain congested, economic growth is stagnant, and our services have not improved. It’s time for a new Las Piñas. We need leadership that listens, leadership that acts, and leadership that puts the people first.” Aguilar said.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, what is your reaction to this development? Do you think new leadership at the City Government is needed to truly modernize the city and make it progressive? If the local elections were held today, would you be voting for Carlo Aguilar for Mayor? Do you consider Las Piñas a less competitive city compared with other Metro Manila cities?

Festival Mall – the popular shopping mall in Filinvest City in Alabang – is now fully owned by Filinvest REIT Corp. (FILRT) as the deed of exchange with Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI) has been formally signed recently, according to a BusinessWorld news report. Previously it was reported that the value of the transfer of ownership was worth over P6 billion.

FILINVEST REIT CORP. (FILRT) has executed a deed of exchange with its parent company and sponsor, Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI), for the transfer of ownership of Festival Mall in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.

The two companies executed the memorandum of agreement and the deed of exchange on March 5 as part of a P6.26-billion property-for-share swap transaction, FILRT said in a regulatory filing on Thursday.

Under the transaction, FILRT will issue 1.63 billion shares at P3.85 each to FLI in exchange for the ownership of the 121,862-square-meter (sq.m.) main mall of Festival Mall. The addition of Festival Mall will increase FILRT’s total gross leasable area by 37% to 452,310 sq.m.

The deal expands FILRT’s portfolio into the retail mall segment. Previously, its portfolio consisted of 17 office buildings and 2.9 hectares of land leased to the owner and operator of Crimson Resort & Spa Boracay.

Following the addition of Festival Mall, FILRT’s portfolio mix will comprise 67% offices, 6% hospitality, and 27% retail.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you hope to see improvements or expansion projects at Festival Mall now that it has a new owner?

Muntinlupa City issues public warning about the rise of local rabies cases

Muntinlupa City issues public warning about the rise of local rabies cases

carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, the City Government issued a warning to the public about the rise of animal rabies that happened locally in four different barangays, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

The Muntinlupa City government warned the public of a rise in animal rabies cases in the city.

“Bilang babala sa mga mamamayan ng Muntinlupa, ipinagbibigay alam na merong naitalang kaso ng Rabies sa hayop sa mga nasabing lugar (As a warning to the citizens of Muntinlupa, we are hereby informed that there have been recorded cases of Rabies in animals in the said areas),” the Office of the City Veterinarian Muntinlupa City posted on Facebook.

It said animal rabies cases were recorded in Purok 2 in Barangay Cupang; Katarungan Village in Barangay Poblacion; Southville 3 housing project, Barangay Poblacion; Lakeview in Barangay Putatan; and Villa Carolina I Subdivision in Barangay Tunasan.

“Bilang pagiingat, siguruhing bakunado ng Anti-Rabies ang inyong mga alagang aso at pusa at huwag hayaang pagala-gala sa kalsada o iba pang pampublikong lugar (As a precaution, make sure your pet dogs and cats are vaccinated against Rabies and do not let them roam the streets or other public areas),” the veterinarian’s office added.

The Department of Health said rabies “is a viral infection that is spread mainly through animal bites. It attacks the nervous system and is almost always fatal; recovery is rare.”

In 2024, 426 rabies cases were recorded in the country and all of them died. It said 45 percent of the cases came from pets.

“It is caused by the rabies virus, which is spread almost always through infected saliva. This occurs most commonly through animal bites, but may also happen through scratches, abrasions and other similar circumstances that involve exposure to infected saliva (e.g. direct contact of eyes and the linings of the mouth and nose to infected saliva),” the DOH added.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, did you notice any news about rabies happening in your local community?

Michelin opens new office in Alabang

carlocarrasco

The French multinational tire manufacturing company Michelin very recently opened a new office in Filinvest City in Alabang to provide service and support to its customers, according to a GMA Network news report. This development added business credibility to the corporate city of Filinvest and Muntinlupa City in general. The Michelin Alabang office is in the Polaris Building.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the news report of GMA Network. Some parts in boldface…

Michelin on Thursday announced the opening of its new official office in the Philippines, which will focus on strengthening the brand in the Philippines, and invest in local talents moving forward.

The new office — located in the Polaris Building, Filinvest Corporate City, Alabang in Muntinlupa City — will serve as a hub for enhanced customer engagement and support, to reflect its “dedication to the growing Filipino market.”

“We are excited to open our new office in the Philippines. We recognize the country’s strong market potential, and this move enables us to reinforce our partnerships, enhance customer support, and further establish Michelin as the preferred choice for mobility solutions in the region,” Michelin Asia Pacific (Singapore) Philippines Branch Office managing director Jonathan Khong said.

According to Michelin, the new office will strengthen collaboration with local partners, provide them with better resources, tools, and expertise to enhance their business operations, and boost the Michelin brand in the country.

The opening of the new office also “reflects Michelin’s continued dedication” to the Philippines, and will strengthen sales and after-sales services through support to partners, and investment in developing local talents.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa, do you feel confident that the presence of Michelin in Alabang will add a lot to the economic dynamism of the city? Do you know a lot of Michelin customers living in Muntinlupa and in nearby cities? Do you think Michelin’s presence in the city will convince other international businesses to set up new offices or service centers in Filinvest City in the near future?

Economist says election-related spending won’t add much to nation’s economic growth this time

Economist says election-related spending won’t add much to nation’s economic growth this time

carlocarrasco

As far as one economist is concerned, spending related to this year’s national and local elections (scheduled for May 12, 2025) will not add much to the nation’s economic growth this year, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

Elections and related spending no longer provide the same economic boost as they once did. As a result, an economist at Ateneo de Manila University expects the Philippine economy to grow below goal this year, despite the upcoming midterm elections in May.

Luis Dumlao, associate professor and senior research fellow at the university’s economic research arm, Ateneo Eagle Watch, forecasted that there won’t be any “extraordinary GDP [gross domestic product] spike” due to election-related activities during the first half of this year.

During Ateneo Eagle Watch’s 2025 economic briefing last Thursday, March 6, Dumlao projected that annual GDP growth could potentially accelerate from 5.6 percent in 2024 to 5.9 percent in 2025.

If Dumlao’s forecast proves accurate, it would mark the third consecutive year that economic growth falls short of the government’s target, following a peak of 7.6 percent in 2022—the year of the last presidential election, which President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. won.

The Marcos administration targets growth of six to eight percent for 2025.

In the past, elections—even midterm polls—bolstered the economy. GDP grew by 6.1 percent in 2019 and 6.8 percent in 2013 due to midterm election-related spending.

In 2016, when former President Rodrigo Duterte won the presidency, economic growth reached 7.1 percent. Back in 2010, when former President Benigno Aquino III was voted to the top position in the land, GDP expanded by 7.3 percent.

Despite his below-expectations GDP growth estimate for this year, Dumlao also projected that annual inflation would average 2.4 percent, falling within the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) two- to four-percent target range for manageable price increases.

His headline inflation forecast for 2025 is lower than the 3.2 percent in 2024. As of end-February, inflation averaged 2.5 percent, mainly due to rice deflation or declining prices of the Filipino food staple.

With the election campaign season rolling in, Dumlao noted that the practice of politicians giving away dole-outs or “ayuda” may no longer be as feasible.

While such spending was effective as a band-aid solution during the Covid-19 pandemic, when there was a greater need for financial support to sectors badly hit by the health and socioeconomic crises it wrought, Dumlao emphasized that “there’s no excuse” for continuing such expenditures post-pandemic.

“Ayuda was excused during the pandemic… However, for some reason, the government’s expenditure [on dole-outs] grew” even after the pandemic.

“There’s still [ayuda] spending as if it’s still the pandemic,” he said.

As elections gradually lose their hefty contribution to economic output, Dumlao urged the government to focus on key industries that would foster long-term growth.

“The economic drivers right now are accommodation like hotels, retail, trade, and construction. Business process outsourcing (BPO), too. Those are the fastest-growing subsectors,” he said.

Dumlao also suggested a further push for privatization of certain infrastructures and utilities.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you still think that election-related spending can still add a lot to the growth of the national economy this year? Do you think further privatization by the government will prove to be more crucial and helpful to enhancing economic growth? Did you notice how the local politicians and election candidate have been giving away assistance or ayuda to local communities recently?

Muntinlupa City sets guidelines and requirements for PWD ID cards issuance

Muntinlupa City sets guidelines and requirements for PWD ID cards issuance

carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, the requirements and guidelines for the issuance of identification cards to persons with disabilities (PWD) will be set very soon as a result of newly signed legislation, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

The Muntinlupa City government approved an ordinance setting the requirements and guidelines for the issuance of IDs to persons with disabilities (PWD).

Ordinance No. 2025-310, enacted by the Muntinlupa City Council on Feb. 17, was signed by Mayor Ruffy Biazon on March 3.

The ordinance states that “the Muntinlupa Persons with Disability Affairs Office advocates the digitalization, verification and streamlining of the Person with  Disability Identification Card issuance  to protect the welfare and privileges  of the genuinely  identified  Muntinlupa  Persons with Disability.”

Muntinlupa’s Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) will issue the PWD IDs to eligible applicants.

Under the ordinance, PWDs “refer to people suffering from restrictions or different abilities as a result of mental, physical or sensory impairment to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for human beings.”

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, do you think the new guidelines and requirements for the issuance of PWD IDs make sense? Do you think the guidelines and requirements will prove to be effective in preventing fraud?

carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, local police officers arrested two women for selling the illegal substance shabu during a buy-bust operation in Alabang, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

The Muntinlupa police arrested two women after they sold shabu to an undercover officer in Alabang on Feb. 27.

The buy-bust operation was conducted by the Muntinlupa Police Station Drug Enforcement Unit at about 2:40 a.m. at the Old City Terminal in Alabang, leading to the arrest of suspects identified as Nobaisa, 38, and Milla, 34, both residents of Purok 4, Balbanero Compound in Alabang, Muntinlupa.

Authorities seized a plastic sachet of shabu, the item sold during the undercover transaction. The police confiscated three more sachets containing shabu from the suspects. The total confiscated shabu weighed 55 grams valued at P374,000.

Also seized during the operation were a genuine P500 bill and 10 pieces of counterfeit P500 bills used as boodle money. The seized illegal drugs will undergo laboratory examination at the Southern Police District (SPD) Forensic Unit.

The two suspects are detained at the Muntinlupa police’s custodial facility. They will face charges for violation of Section 5 (sale of dangerous drugs) and Section 11 (possession of dangerous drugs) under Republic Act 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002).
