The Code of Ethics By: Angelo Darel A. Caiña

The Code of Ethics for IRR Nutrition and Dietetics

Based on the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 10862 for Nutrition and Dietetics in the Philippines, for me here are the 3 key ethical principles ranked by importance:

Standardization and Regulation of Nutrition and Dietetics Education The standardization and regulation of education in Nutrition and Dietetics is crucial because it ensures that all practitioners possess a consistent level of knowledge and skills. This principle is essential for maintaining high educational standards, which directly impacts the quality of care provided to clients. Moreover, a well-regulated education system fosters trust in the profession, ensuring that registered nutritionist-dietitians (RNDs) are equipped to address diverse nutritional needs effectively.

Development of Professional Competence through Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Continuous professional development is vital for RNDs to stay updated with the latest research, techniques, and dietary guidelines. This commitment to lifelong learning not only enhances individual competence but also elevates the entire profession by integrating new knowledge into practice. As nutrition science evolves, RNDs must adapt their skills to provide evidence-based recommendations, ultimately leading to better health outcomes for their clients.

Integration of the Nutrition and Dietetics Profession The integration of the Nutrition and Dietetics profession emphasizes collaboration among healthcare providers and allied health professionals. This principle is important because it encourages a multidisciplinary approach to health care, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of their well-being. By working together, RNDs can contribute their expertise in nutrition while benefiting from the insights of other health professionals, leading to more effective treatment plans.

Based on the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers, I will rank and discuss three key ethical principles:

Prioritizing Learner Welfare Teachers must recognize that the interests and welfare of learners are of paramount importance, and must deal with students justly and impartially.1 This principle resonates deeply because education is fundamentally about nurturing and supporting young minds. By placing students' needs first, teachers create an environment of trust, respect, and genuine learning potential.

Professional Integrity and Continuous Growth Teachers must uphold the highest standards of quality education, make the best career preparations, and consistently participate in Continuing Professional Education (CPE) programs. The goal is to continuously improve efficiency, enhance professional prestige, and strengthen competence to remain nationally and internationally competitive.1 This principle matters because education is dynamic, and teachers must evolve to provide the most effective and relevant learning experiences.

Community Leadership and Moral Conduct Teachers are facilitators of youth development who should provide conducive learning environments. They are expected to actively participate in community movements and maintain high moral standards, behaving with honor and dignity while avoiding excesses like gambling, excessive drinking, or inappropriate personal conduct.1 This principle is crucial because teachers serve as role models who shape not just academic knowledge, but also character and societal values.

Hontiveros Urges PNP to Revoke Quiboloy's Firearms

Senator Risa Hontiveros called on the Philippine National Police (PNP) on April 22, 2024, to stop justifying their refusal to revoke Quiboloy's firearm license as unlawful.

Senator Hontiveros reiterated that according to the PNP’s Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), a citizen with firearms can lose their license due to legal disability, which includes "pendency of a criminal case with an imposable penalty of more than 2 years.”; referring to ongoing criminal case(s) unresolved by the judiciary system.

Aside from the cases issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Pastor Apollo Carreon Quiboloy has pending cases in the Philippine Senate such as human trafficking, labor violations, and sex-related criminal offenses. With these cases, Senator Hontiveros is skeptical about the length of time the PNP takes to confiscate Quiboloy’s firearms.

The senator calls on PNP Chief Marbil to “lead better” after admitting that they were unaware of Quiboloy’s private army. Hontiveros added that Quiboloy has the courage to hide because of the firearms protecting him, and the PNP should hasten their call to revoke Quiboloy’s firearms, as he is a high-profile fugitive who must be apprehended as soon as possible.

Can the PNP revoke Quiboloy’s firearms?

In the Republic Act 10591 otherwise known as the "Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act", one of the provisions regarding revocation, suspension, and cancellation of gun ownership is “(g) The applicant has not been convicted or is currently an accused in a pending criminal case/s before any court of law for a crime that is punishable with a penalty of more than two (2) years.”

According to PNP Spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo, the provision only applies to applicants for getting a license for owning firearms. However, Quiboloy was already a gun owner before the criminal cases were filed against him. She states that they are waiting for the resolution from the Firearms and Explosives Office (FEO) to be approved by the PNP Chief for possible revocation of Quiboloy’s firearms.

SEC reiterates mandatory grace period for loans amid quarantine

#PHnews: SEC reiterates mandatory grace period for loans amid quarantine

MANILA – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reiterated its directive for all financing and lending companies to provide borrowers more time to settle loans falling due within the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) and modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) period.

 In a statement Thursday, the SEC said it is currently investigating financing and lending firms that allegedly refuse to comply with the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act, its implementing rules and regulations (IRR), and other applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 “Any violation or noncompliance shall be dealt with to the full extent of the law,” it warned.

 The Commission, in an advisory issued on May 20, reminded financing and lending companies to strictly comply with these laws, rules and regulations.

 Section 4(aa) of Republic Act 11469, or the Bayanihan Act provides the President the power to implement a minimum 30-day grace period for the payment of all loans while the country battles the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.

 On April 1, the Department of Finance issued the IRR directing all lenders, including those under the supervision of the SEC, to apply an initial 30-day grace period to all loans with principal and/or interest falling due during the ECQ period.

 The initial 30-day grace period shall automatically be extended if the ECQ period is extended by the President pursuant to his emergency powers.

 Accordingly, all financing companies, lending companies, and microfinance non-governmental organizations (NGOs) shall apply the mandatory grace period to all loans with principal and/or interest falling due between 17 March 2020 and 31 May 2020.

 The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases also issued Resolution No. 33, series of 2020, directing all banks, quasi-banks, financing companies, lending companies, and other financial institutions to count the grace period from the respective due dates of qualified loans or until such time that the community quarantine is lifted, whichever is longer.

 Under the IRR, all covered institutions shall not impose interest on interest, fees and other charges to future payments or amortizations. 

 Borrowers may also pay the interest accrued during the grace period on a staggered basis over the remaining life of the loan.

 All covered institutions are further prohibited from requiring their borrowers to waive the application of the mandatory grace period. Borrowers may still choose to pay their obligations during the ECQ.

 Under the Bayanihan Act, refusal to provide a 30-day grace period shall be punishable with imprisonment of two months or a fine of not less than PHP10,000 but not more than PHP1 million or both, at the discretion of the court. (PR)

Walang bigay-bawi sa libreng edukasyon!

October 3, 2018 https://tonite.abante.com.ph/walang-bigay-bawi-sa-libreng-edukasyon.htm

Malaking tagumpay sa laban para sa karapatan sa edukasyon ng bawat Filipino ang pagkakapasa noong 2017 ng Republic Act 10931, ang “Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act.”

Ginawang libre ng batas na ito ang edukasyon sa lahat ng state universities and colleges (SUC) at paaralan ng TESDA.

Pangarap ng lahat ng magulang ang mapatapos ng kolehiyo ang kanilang mga anak. Matagal nang panawagan ng mga aktibista ang gawing libre ang edukasyon hanggang antas kolehiyo.

Naisabatas sa kabila ng ilang dekadang pagpapatupad ng gubyerno ng kabaligtaran – ang taunang pagbawas sa badyet ng mga SUC, paglaki ng Tuition and Other Fees, at pagpapatakbo ng mga paaralan bilang negosyo. Sa kabila rin ng mariing pagtutol ng mga economic manager ni Pangulong Duterte. Sa kasamaang pa¬lad, hindi pa rin sumusuko ang mga elemento sa loob ng administrasyong Duterte na kumokontra sa libreng edukasyon.

Dismayado tayo na Commission on Higher Education pa ang pinagmulan ng kontra-atake. Sa pangunguna ng CHED, inilathala ang Implementing Rules and Regulations ng RA 10931 noong Pebrero 2018. Ipinasok ng CHED sa IRR ang konsepto ng “Return Service.”

Nais nila gawing rekisito para sa lahat ng estudyanteng makikinabang sa libreng edukasyon ang kapalit na trabaho o serbisyo. Inaatasan ang bawat SUC na magdisenyo at magpatupad ng sariling “Return Service System.” Kung hindi maaari o ayaw ng estudyante ang return service, kailangang magbayad siya. Bilang isa sa mga may-akda ng RA 10931, nasubaybayan ko ang pinagdaanan nito mula sa filing ng bill hanggang sa bicameral conference committee na nagpinal nito. Kaya masasabi ko nang buong katiyakan na walang batayan sa alinmang probisyon ng batas na ito ang Return Service System na ipinuslit ng CHED sa IRR. Sa katunayan, winawasak nito ang pinaka-esensya ng batas. Kung hihingin ng gubyerno sa estudyanteng nakikinabang sa libreng edukasyon ang kapalit na serbisyo, hindi na tunay na libre ang kanyang edukasyon.

Nang talakayin ng Kongreso ang badyet ng CHED sa 2019 nitong nakaraang linggo, binatikos namin ni Rep. Sarah Elago ang CHED sa isyu ng Return Service. Hiningi ko sa CHED na tanggalin ang Return Service requirement. Dahil sa malawak na suporta ng iba pang mga kongresista sa ating posisyon (special mention kina Reps. Joey Salceda, Prospero Pichay, at Ann Hofer), nagbigay ng opisyal na komitment si CHED OIC Popoy De Vera na tatanggalin ang Return Service System sa IRR ng RA 10931.

Abangan natin ang susunod na hakbang ng CHED. Walang ¬bigay-bawi sa libreng edukasyon!

SIM Registration Act, nilagdaan; umani ng iba’t ibang reaksyon

PAGPIRMA SA BATAS. Noong Oktubre 10, 2022 ay pinirmahan ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos ang Republic Act 11934 o ang SIM Registration Act. Larawan mula sa Inquirer.net via Youtube.

Oktubre 10, 2022 - Tuluyan nang pinirmahan ni Pangulong Ferdinand ‘Bongbong Marcos Jr. ang Republic Act 11934 o ang Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Registration Act sa gitna ng pagtaas ng presyo ng mga bilihin at human rights violations sa bansa.

Sa ilalim ng batas na ito, kinakailangan nang iparehistro ng publiko ang mga bagong SIM card sa mga rehistradong Public Telecommunication Entities (PTE). Ang mga PTE ay mga pampubliko o pribadong establisyemento na binigyang pahintulot na mamahagi o magbenta ng mga serbisyong pang-telekomunikasyon. Bibigyan naman ng 180 araw ang mga existing user na iparehistro ang kanilang numero. Ang mga mabibigong sumunod ay maaaring mabigyan ng 120 araw na ekstensyon ng Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) upang makapagrehistro. Kung hindi magagawa sa kabila ng ekstensyon ay tuluyan nang ide-deactivate ang kanilang mga numero.

Umani ng samu't saring reaksyon ang pagsasabatas nito, partikular na sa panahon na ilalaan para sa proseso ng pagpaparehistro. Subalit, ayon kay Senador Win Gatchalian, sapat na ang anim na buwang palugit para rito. “My version was as early as 2013. So it's been 10 years since we've been talking about this. So in terms of infrastructure, in terms of process, I don't think it will be a problem with the telcos,” dagdag pa niya.

Pinuri naman ni Senador Grace Poe ang pagpasa ng batas. “We worked hard to pass the legislation anew as a crucial first step to fend off text scammers, while guaranteeing utmost respect to fundamental human rights.”

Iba-ibang pagtanggap

Positibo rin ang pagtanggap ng mga telecommunication company o telco sa paglagda ng batas. Sa inilabas na opisyal na pahayag ng Globe, bukas sila sa mungkahi na gamitin ang National ID System para sa masinsinang beripaksyon sa pagpapatupad ng batas. “Our position has been clear from the beginning, a National ID system must be in place to ensure the safe and successful implementation of this new law,” sabi ni Globe General Counsel Froilan Castelo.

Sa isa namang panayam ay ipinahayag ng kanilang Chief Privacy Officer na si Irish Almeida na ipapatupad nila ang pinakamataas na standard para sa data account privacy, na gagawin ng lahat ng telcos.

Suportado rin ng DITO Telecommunications ang paggamit ng National ID at pasaporte sa beripikasyon ng pagkakakilanlan ng subscriber. Ayon sa kanilang Telecommunications Officer na si Rodolfo Santiago, “Doing so will unburden the telcos of the need to establish another database to store biometrics data, which would be time consuming and resource heavy.”

Bukas ang Smart Telecommunications na lumahok sa paggawa ng Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) ng batas, na ilalabas 60 araw pagkatapos itong lagdaan. Samantala, nilinaw naman ng kanilang Vice President at Head of Regulatory Affairs na si Roy Ibay na kailangan pa rin na bigyan ng oras ang paghahanda at pag-test para masigurado ang ligtas na implementasyon ng batas sa pagkolekta ng mga personal na impormasyon.

Samantala, binatikos naman ng Secretary General ng Bagong Alyansang Makabayan na si Renato Reyes Jr. ang batas. Ayon kay Reyes, malaking banta ang bagong batas sa privacy rights ng publiko. “The Philippine government is a notorious human rights violator for years now, and any measure that would compromise privacy rights should be seen as a danger.”

Matatandaan na noong Abril 2022 ay hindi pinirmahan ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang batas. Kinakailangan pa raw pag-aralan ang pagsaklaw ng batas sa pagrerehistro rin ng social media accounts.

Reaksyon ng mga batang Isko

Nagbahagi rin ng reaksyon ang mga mag-aaral ng UPIS sa nasabing batas. Ayon kay Samer Lagunilla, mag-aaral mula Grado 12, maaaring makatulong at maging banta ito.

“Oo at hindi. Oo dahil maaari nang parusahan ang mga taong may mga SIM card na hindi registered at mataas ang halaga nito. Hindi dahil hindi natin alam kung gaano ka-accurate ang kanilang pag-filter sa mga messages at kung ano ang mga kino-consider nilang spam text at spam call,” aniya.

Mayroon din siyang pag-aalangan sa kanyang personal privacy dahil alam na ng gobyerno kung kanino ang mga SIM card at kung ano ang mga pinag-uusapan ng mga tao gamit ito.

Ngunit, sa kabila nito, mapipilitan pa rin si Samer na magparehistro kahit na wala siyang balak na gawin ito. “Wala akong balak, pero wala rin akong choice. Kailangan kong sumunod sa batas dahil ayaw ko naman magbayad o maparusahan dahil dito. Ngunit mananatili pa rin ang aking worry [para] sa aking privacy.” //nina Dante Aquino at Andre Panopio
