Carabao mangoes ng Pilipinas, ie-export na sa Australia

Annalyn 'Apol' Mabini | TFC News Australia AUSTRALIA - Sisimulan na ngayong Hunyo ang pag-e-export patungong Australia ng carabao mangoes ng Pilipinas ayon na rin sa anunsyo ng Philippine Embassy sa Canberra, Australia. Ilang taon na ring tinatangkilik ng mga Australian ang pinatuyo o dried mangoes ng Pilipinas bilang healthy snack. “It is now time for Aussies to enjoy our much-beloved fruit in the Philippines,” pahayag ni Philippine Ambassador to Australia H.E. Ma. Hellen B. De La Vega. Ang mga protocol para sa pagluluwas ng napakatamis na mangga ng Pilipinas patungong Australia ay nasimulan na taong 2016 kabilang na ang Specific Commodity Understanding o SCU. Ang SCU ay isang uri ng arrangement document para sa pagpapadala ng mga mangga mula ‘Pinas patungong Australia sa ilalim ng Australia’s Biosecurity Act 2015 na patuloy na inaamyendahan para maisama ang mga oportunidad para sa pag-e-export ng mga mangga ng Pilipinas, ayon na rin sa Bureau of Plant Industry-National Plant Quarantine Services Division o BPI-NPQSD sa ilalim ng Department of Agriculture. Ngayong taon, naging posible ang pag-e-export ng carabao mangoes patungong Australia sa pamamagitan ng Fastboxph, isang Sydney-based e-Commerce at logistics provider kasama ang 1Export, isang one-stop platform para sa cross border trade and fulfillment services, at ng Philippine Trade and Investment Center o PTIC Sydney at ng BPI-NPQSD. Ibinahagi naman ni Ambassador De La Vega na ang carabao mangoes ng Pilipinas ay maaaring pitasin o anihin sa buong taon habang ang Australia tuwing Setyembre hanggang Abril lamang nakaka-harvest ng kanilang mga mangga. Kaya naman ani Amb. De La Vega na sa winter season mahalagang mag-export ng PH mangoes sa Australia para matiyak na magiging available sa mga kababayan at Australyano ang tinaguriang national fruit ng Pilipinas-ang mangga. “Australia has always been supportive of our efforts to improve our agricultural trade, particularly the exports of mangoes. In 2018, the Australian Embassy in the Philippines reported that the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) provided AUS$1.1 million grant funding to a 4-year project which passed on farming technology that improved mango quality and size for Davao farmers... Our mission is to work with government authorities and industry partners to bring to Australia the highest quality Filipino products and help lift trade between our two countries,” sabi ni Philippine Trade Representative to Australia Alma Argayoso.

UP Diliman Professors Share Scientists’ Procurement Struggles at Senate Hearing

By Harvey Sapigao Senate hearing of the revised procurement law (Photo credit: Senate of the Philippines) College of Science (CS) Dean Giovanni Tapang held up a little white device as he finished his presentation. “This is a ₱150,000 component,” he described. “Isa lang gumagawa nito sa buong mundo, pero ang hirap pilitin sila na magregister sa PhilGEPS,” he continued, referring to the requirement that foreign companies must first register to the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) before they can sell products to local scientists. Marine Science Institute (MSI) Deputy Director Dr. Irene Rodriguez explained that the small device is a resin that filters metals in water. “May budget tayo,” she said, “pero ang problema ko ay ‘yung resin na ito.” This and other bottlenecks brought about by the procurement law, or the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184), slow down research and development in the country.

Gaza war rages into fourth month as Blinken tours Middle East Adel Zaanoun with Ilan Ben Zion in Jerusalem, --- Agence France-Presse

The Israel-Hamas war raging in Gaza entered its fourth month on Sunday as the army again pounded the besieged Palestinian territory and US top diplomat Antony Blinken was back in the region seeking to avoid a wider escalation.

It said two journalists were killed when their car was struck. The ministry, medics, and witnesses identified them as Mustafa Thuria, a video stringer for Agence France-Presse, and Hamza Wael Dahdouh, the son of Al Jazeera's bureau chief in Gaza who earlier lost his wife and two other children in an Israeli strike. Israeli bombardment also claimed other civilian lives in the southern city of Khan Yunis and in the Rafah area near the Egyptian border, where many of the territory's displaced people have sought refuge, AFP correspondents reported. Relatives were mourning the dead at Khan Yunis' European Hospital, am
