Liveable Cities Labs: Green Buildings and Open Spaces
Stakeholders and advocates of green and clean are in for more relevant information through a webinar entitled “Green Buildings and Open Spaces”. With more people living in cities than ever before, rapid urbanization creates huge challenges on vital resources such as food, water, and energy. Rapid urbanization also adds to concerns about congestion, waste management, and pollution.
Can we have densely populated Philippine cities that also provide good connectivity, integrated transportation systems, efficient public services, and green open spaces? How can finite resources such as land be used more productively for buildings, mobility, and open spaces?
The 2021 Liveable Cities Labs, a continuation of our series of webinars which aims to equip cities with knowledge and insights for designing better solutions for their communities, through the sharing of best practices. The lab is presented by Liveable Cities Philippines and the League of Cities of the Philippines, in partnership with Globe Telecom, and Urban Land Institute (ULI).
Speakers include Paulo Alcazaren Environmental Planner and Landscape Architect, Dinky Von Einsiedel, President of Alliance for Safe, Sustainable and Resilient Environments, Mayor Jerry Trenas of Iloilo City, Cathy Saldana, Managing Director & CEO of PDP Architects. The event will also be graced by Jean De Castro, Chairperson of Urban Land Institute.
Should you have any questions/inquiries regarding this event please feel free to email then through dmin@liveablecities.ph.

IMPORTANT ADVISORY: FOREIGN EXCHANGE REMITTANCE SCAMS AND FRAUDULENT INVESTMENT SCHEMES
Hindi lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat na madami pa din ang nahihikayat sa atin, lalo na sa manggagawang pilipino sa ibang bansa (OFW) na ipamuhunan ang ating maliit na ipon sa munting negosyo o di kaya ipadala ang ipon sa Pilipinas para sa ating mahal sa buhay.
Iminumungkahi namin na pumunta lamang sa Government accredited overseas remittance services para sa pagpapadala ng mga sustento at ilagay natin ang ipon sa mga lehitimong institusyon. Para naman sa mga nagbabalak mag invest ng kanilang ipon, siguraduhin lamang na ito ay sa mga lehitimong Financial Institutions na may sapat na akreditasyon at pahintulot mula sa gobyerno.
Huwag agad mahihikayat sa taas ng kita o ng exchange rate na inaalok ng kausap. At kung sakaling may duda, huwag mahiyang mag tanong sa Philippine Trade and Investment Center ng Manila Economic and Cultural Office.
Maari rin po sumulat sa Taipei@dti.gov.ph o di kaya ay mag iwan ng mensahe sa aming Facebook account, The Philippine Trade and Investment in Taipei. Huwag kalimutan na isama ang mga dokumento hinggil dito.
Huwag po tayo agad agad maniniwala sa mga pangako lalo na kung ito ay masyadong nakakaenganyo. Ito po ay ating pag aralan mabuti at humingi ng mungkahi sa mga kawani ng gobyerno dito sa Taiwan upang makasiguro.
Maraming salamat po.

PRESS STATEMENT OF DTI SECRETARY RAMON M. LOPEZ
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has been closely monitoring the supply and prices of N-88 surgical mask.
Prices generally remained within the prescribed price range of one peso to 8 pesos per piece, but there were a number of price violations committed, especially by some wholesalers in Bambang Manila. After issuance of Notices of Violations to 18 establishments, cases have now been filed to these stores.
Meanwhile, supply situation has been very tight since the demand last week suddenly increased with the reported spreading of the NCOV cases outside China.
Major drugstores in the country and wholesalers have been running out of stocks and have reordered more stocks to refill their inventories, but these were again depleted fast last week with the surge in demand. They were asked to increase their reordering quantities. As of last Friday, Watsons still had stocks and their inventories were deployed nationwide, while Mercury and SouthStar drugstores and most wholesalers ran out of stocks. They reported that there will be incoming stocks this week.
We have also ordered last Friday the Philippine International Trading Corporation (PITC), an attached agency of DTI, to start sourcing 5 million masks, to augment the local supply, especially the needs of the Department of Health (DOH) and other health workers.
As of this morning of February 2, initial information gathered by the PITC revealed that suppliers from other countries also have limited stocks of N88 surgical mask, due to the surge in worldwide demand. Thru are awaiting feedback today from other sources.
Nevertheless, I have personally spoken with the owner of the lone local producer of masks, MedTecs, that is based in Bataan and they committed to supply the government, through the DTI, 100,000 pieces this week and 400,000 pieces per week thereafter. They can commit to supply Philippines around 2 million pieces per month, until this quantity is needed. While they produce on a limited capacity (80,000 pieces per day), MedTecs is now airfreighting more machines to increase their production capacity.
MedTecs, which has been operating in the country for the last 41 years, expressed their continuous commitment to support and prioritize the requirements of the Philippines. MedTechs is the same group that recently donated about 500,000 surgical masks for the victims of the Taal volcano phreatic eruption that were distributed through the Local Government Units (LGUs).
We have also intensified engagements to match parties with core capabilities that can extend to production of masks — including foreign companies in the country that have the technology, local companies that can readily provide factories and workers, and local producers in garments and sanitary paper or cotton-based products.
The Department continues to intensify its prices and supply monitoring activities to ensure that masks are sold within the price range set by the DOH, and that offenders will be dealt with the fullest extent of the law.
Consumers are enjoined to report to the DTI all retailers and suppliers selling overpriced masks by calling the One-DTI (1-384) Hotline or by sending an email to consumercare@dti.gov.ph.

We have also intensified engagements to match parties with core capabilities that can extend to production of masks — including foreign companies in the country that have the technology, local companies that can readily provide factories and workers, and local producers in garments and sanitary paper or cotton-based products.
The Department continues to intensify its prices and supply monitoring activities to ensure that masks are sold within the price range set by the DOH, and that offenders will be dealt with the fullest extent of the law.
Consumers are enjoined to report to the DTI all retailers and suppliers selling overpriced masks by calling the One-DTI (1-384) Hotline or by sending an email to consumercare@dti.gov.ph.
Season's Greetings!
Join us at Trabaho Negosyo Kabuhayan at NEGOSYOMECOnnect in Kaohsiung and Taipei
