Authorities will re-engage with the New People’s Army (NPA), the military wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), for the first time in six years, both parties and facilitator Norway announced on Tuesday. “The parties agree to a principled and peaceful resolution of the armed conflict,” the two sides said in a joint statement, adding that the peace talks will address “deep-rooted socioeconomic and political grievances”.

If negotiations succeed, the rebels will end their armed struggle and transform into a political movement, according to Norway, which has mediated the island nation’s peace process for around 20 years. Despite the progress, the government announced no immediate ceasefire and said operations against the armed group would continue. However, military chief Romeo Brawner was hopeful an eventual peace deal would enable the armed forces to fully focus on “external or territorial defence”, rather than domestic conflict.

ABS-CBN: Bayan Muna condemns terrorism charge vs activists

Party-list group Bayan Muna has condemned the filing of anti-terrorism charges against its secretary general, Nathanael Santiago, as well as Anakpawis Campaign Director Servillano Luna, Jr., ASCENT Convenor Rosario Brenda Gonzalez, and Bulacan Ecumenical Forum volunteer Anasusa San Gabriel.

“The use of trumped-up charges, in conjunction with red-tagging, creates a toxic environment that undermines the principles of justice and human rights. We strongly and firmly reject these reprehensible tactics and demand an end to the harassment and persecution of activists and members of the political opposition,” Bayan Muna said.

In the counter-affidavit filed by Santiago before the Nueva Ecija Office of the Provincial Prosecutor, he denied the charges for attempted murder and murder under the Anti-Terrorism Act as well as violation of the Philippine Act on Crimes Against Humanitarian Law, Genocide and other Crimes Against Humanity.

Santiago said at the time of the supposed crime, he was working as Bayan Muna secretary general at the office of the party-list group in Quezon City.

Similarly, in the counter-affidavit of Gonzalez, she said was busy for a book launch during the first three weeks of October, with photos and testimonies attached.

Activist Renato Reyes Jr. on Twitter @natoreyes:

Four activists have been charged under the draconian Anti Terror Law. They are known activists Nath Santiago, Jun Luna, Brenda Gonzalez and Ansusa San Gabriel. Nath was himself an SC petitioner vs the terror law. Now he is charged under the same provision he questioned at the SC

This marks the first time national leaders or personalities have been charged under the ATL. The complaints were filed by the AFP in Nueva Ecija, They claimed the 4 participated in an armed encounter between the AFP and NPA - a completely blatant lie and a fabrication.

In 2020 we warned that the ATL will be abused by state forces to stifle dissent and suppress progressive organizations. That is exactly what is happening now with the filing of these trumped up “terror” charges in different regions.

Imagine being charged with terrorism, and not knowing you were facing charges because they sent subpoenas to a different address, to another activist already reported missing. Then finding out there’s already a resolution even without the fiscal hearing your side.

Late February na lang nila nalaman na may kaso pala sila sa Nueva Ecija. Buti nakapaghabol ng motion at nakapag file ngayong araw ng kanilang counter-affidavit. Inaabuso ang “terror law” laban sa mga aktibista, at kahit sa mga totoong rebolusyonaryo. [It was only in late Feb that they found out about these cases against them. It was fortunate that they were able to file counter-affidavits in time. The "terror law" is being abused to thwart activists, even the true revolutionaries.]

Emilio: "BASTOS TO A."

(( XDD ayan e, binawalan e sa trading. XDD di sila prends. ))

Anyway, Philippines and North Korea relations:

"During the Korean War, the Philippines allied with South Korea, against North Korea.

Efforts to establish formal ties between the two countries began as early as the 1970s, but such efforts saw no significant development by the 1980s. Factors hindering such efforts include the Philippines' traditional anti-communist foreign policy at that time as well as suspicions that North Korea had been supporting the Communist Party of the Philippines and its armed wing, the New People's Army (NPA).

Limited North Korean support to the NPA was alleged by a 1990 report of the Patterns of Global Terrorism by the United States Department of State.

It was also reported in the early 2010s, that North Korea proposed to establish a resident embassy in Manila, which Philippine officials rejected. The rejection was reportedly due to Philippine authorities' suspicion on North Korean diplomats as they were deemed to have a reputation to conduct "extra-diplomatic activities" such as smuggling and counterfeiting in other foreign countries. Philippine Foreign Secretary Siazon insisted that North Korea had never made such request. However, he remained open to the expansion of diplomatic ties between the two countries.

The Philippines, as an ally of South Korea and the United States, remains concerned and continues to condemn North Korea's nuclear missile tests which is considered to be in violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions banning North Korea to use ballistic technology in any purpose."

Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer | Communist Party of the Philippines

August 01, 2023

The Marcos regime and its military and police forces must be roundly condemned for the increasingly malevolent use of the deceitfully named Anti-Terrorism Law (ATL) in their heightened campaign of suppression against various democratic forces, critics, and political opponents.

Over the past few weeks, human rights defenders and members of cause-oriented organizations have been “designated” as “terrorists” by the Anti-Terrorism Council or charged in court for “terrorism” in a patently arbitrary manner, without due process and in utter violation of broadly accepted standards of judicial processes.

The ATL is now being used as a tool for suppression with impunity. The most recent victim of the draconian ATL is Hailey Pecayo, a 19-year old human rights worker, who earned the ire of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) for having actively exposed the role of the military for the killing of a nine-year old child in Batangas last year. She is now being charged by the AFP under the ATL, together with other members of their human rights group.

Before Pecayo, at least six others, including Windel Bolinget and three other members of the Cordillera People’s Alliance (CPA), were tagged as “terrorists” by the ATC. In a much earlier resolution, Dr. Natividad Castro, a medical doctor working for the Karapatan Alliance in Mindanao, was similarly tagged by the ATC. It is particularly noteworthy that the ATC resolutions against Bolinget and Castro both came after courts dismissed false charges filed by the AFP linking them to armed actions of the NPA.

The use of the ATL as a tool of suppression has now reached absurd and brazen levels with the ATC “designating” Congressman Arnolfo Teves and 12 others accused of perpetrating the March 4 killing of former Negros Oriental Governor Noel Degamo. Marcos officials have resorted to using the ATL against Teves after failing to build up a court case him. Aiming the ATL against Teves also serves as warning of the extent that Marcos will use the law for his purposes.

The CPP denounces the use of the ATL as a weapon of political suppression. The Party also expresses its continuing protest against the “terrorist designation” of the CPP, the New People’s Army and the National Democratic Front, of its leaders and representatives, and others being linked to the revolutionary cause.

Despite the September 21, 2022 ruling of the Manila Trial Court dismissing the petition filed by the government to declare the CPP and NPA as “terrorists” under the Human Security Act (the former name of the ATL), the Marcos regime and its agents insist on pinning the “terrorist” tag as part of its systematic campaign against all patriotic and democratic forces.

In light of the heightened attacks against the broad democratic sectors using the ATL, the Filipino people’s demand for the abrogation of the draconian law has become even more urgent. All democracy-loving people must make a stand and lend their voice to the struggle to defend the people’s rights and freedoms against state repression.

The Party supports the Filipino people’s clamor to end the so-called “war on terror” which, in fact, is a camouflage for unbounded state terrorism. This fascist framework has long been abused by the Philippine ruling class state, in order to justify the systematic erosion of the people’s civil and political rights.

The military and security establishment has used the “war on terror” to claim extraordinary powers to assert domination over society, take control of the functions of civilian agencies of government and carry out any and all acts of state suppression with gross impunity.

Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code — IBC-BOON OR BANE

Introduction

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016 has been enacted to merge the existing laws related to insolvency and bankruptcy. The IBC involves standard steps which is viable and understandable. So, everyone, be it creditors, debtors, companies, or shareholders etc. shall have a standard perform for any matters relating to insolvency.

“The IBC has been a real game changer in the Indian economy’s business reform initiatives in the last twenty five years. Ease of doing business is ironically the base premise for enacting the comprehensive Code to exit from the business.”

The IBC has made a spectacular progress in short span. The recent orders issued by the Adjudicating Authorities are beginning to have profound impact on defaulting business owners as the message is loud and clear “settle dues or cede control”.

Why was IBC enacted?

Initially there was Presidency Towns Insolvency Acts, 1909 which was applicable in Kolkata, Chennai and Mumbai and the Provincial Insolvency Act 1920 for the rest of India, for regulating the insolvency laws. The Act applied to individuals and partnerships but exempted corporations from within its ambit. Post Independence, the bankruptcy and insolvency were specified in Constitution and with the passage of time there were numerous acts which governed Insolvency and bankruptcy issues such as the Sick Industrial Companies (special provision) Act, 1985 (“SICA”), SARFAESI Act, 2002, the Recovery of Debts due to Banks and financial institutions Act, 1993 (“RDDBFI Act”), Companies Act, 1956 as well as Companies act, 2013.

But these regulations have not yielded satisfactory results. These regimes were high fragmented, borne out of multiple judicial forums resulting in lack of clarity and certainty of jurisdiction. Further, we had various adjudicatory bodies/Tribunals to deal with such issues and matters under different Acts stated above.

So, this led to the unclear knowledge about the authority as to whom the parties should approach in the related matters. Hence, this resulted in overlapping of decisions. There was no common regulatory authority to regulate the rights of the secured or unsecured creditors, employees etc. or to determine the priority of their claims. Large number of stressed assets such as NPAs with low recovery rates due to a lack of enabling environment for the enforcement of creditor’s rights. Moreover there was no adequate or credible data regarding the assets, indebtedness etc. of companies which further heighten the problems. Hence large number of legislations and non-statutory guidelines have made the recovery of debt a complex and time consuming process.

The IBC is a welcome overhaul which has directly addressed in resolving the insolvency and bankruptcy issues of corporates and simultaneously serving creditors and public financial institutions by helping them in recovery of bad and distress loans and ultimately tackling Non Performing Assets. The Main objective of Code is distribution of the effects of a debtor in the most expeditious, equal and economical mode. The Code lays down the complete procedure of Insolvency Resolution process which involves collating claims and reviewing the requisite financial and other relevant records of the company. The introduction of this Code has brought in ample opportunities for professionals ranging from being appointed as official liquidator to managing the financial health of corporates in case of distressed assets.

Present Scenario

Today we have IBC, 2016, which provides a…

 In the dynamic financial landscape of India, Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) have emerged as a significant challenge for banks and financial institutions. At Finlender, we aim to demystify NPA funding, providing clarity and insight into its mechanisms and implications.

What are NPAs?

NPAs, or Non-Performing Assets, are loans or advances for which the principal or interest payment remains overdue for a period of 90 days. NPAs are classified into three categories: substandard assets, doubtful assets, and loss assets. They indicate a deterioration in the quality of the bank's loan portfolio, impacting profitability and financial stability.

The Impact of NPAs

The high volume of NPAs has multiple adverse effects:

1- Reduced Profitability: Banks face reduced income due to non-receipt of interest payments.

2- Increased Provisions: Financial institutions must set aside a portion of their profits as provisions to cover potential losses, impacting their overall financial health.

3- Erosion of Capital: Persistent NPAs can lead to a significant erosion of a bank's capital base, affecting its ability to lend further.

NPA Funding: An Overview

NPA funding involves financial strategies and instruments designed to manage and resolve NPAs. It includes the following key aspects:

1- Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs): ARCs purchase NPAs from banks at a discounted rate, thereby cleaning up the banks' balance sheets. They then work on recovering the loan amounts through various strategies, including restructuring the loans or liquidating the underlying assets.

2- Debt Restructuring: Financial institutions may restructure the terms of the loan, such as extending the repayment period, reducing the interest rate, or converting a part of the debt into equity. This helps in making the debt more manageable for the borrower and increases the likelihood of recovery.

3- Government Initiatives: The Indian government has introduced various schemes and measures to address the NPA issue. Initiatives like the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and the establishment of the National Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (NARCL) aim to streamline the resolution process and enhance recovery rates.

4- Stressed Asset Funds: Specialized funds are set up to invest in distressed assets. These funds have a higher risk tolerance and expertise in turning around non-performing assets, providing a viable solution for banks to offload their NPAs.

How Finlender Can Help

At Finlender, we offer a range of services to assist banks and financial institutions in managing NPAs effectively:

Advisory Services: Our team of experts provides strategic advice on NPA management, helping institutions devise effective resolution plans.

Asset Valuation: Accurate valuation of distressed assets is crucial for effective resolution. Finlender offers comprehensive asset valuation services.

Investment Solutions: We facilitate investments in stressed assets through our network of investors and specialized funds.

In conclusion, NPA funding is a critical component in maintaining the health of the banking sector in India. At Finlender, we are committed to providing innovative solutions and expert guidance to navigate the complexities of NPA management. By leveraging our expertise, financial institutions can achieve better recovery rates and ensure long-term financial stability.

NPA Recovery Roadmap for Borrowers: Bank Debt Management Tips?

Recovering Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) involves a strategic roadmap and effective debt management techniques. Here are essential tips and a roadmap for banks to manage and recover NPAs successfully:

1. Early Identification and Classification:

Implement robust credit risk assessment to identify potential NPAs at an early stage.

Classify loans based on their repayment status and severity of default as per regulatory guidelines.

Regularly monitor loan accounts for signs of stress or default.

3. Loan Restructuring and Rescheduling:

Modify repayment terms, extend tenure, or lower interest rates to improve borrower repayment capacity.

Ensure that restructuring agreements are based on realistic borrower assessments and viability.

4. Negotiated Settlements:

Engage in negotiations with borrowers for one-time settlements or compromise agreements.

Evaluate the borrower's financial position and propose reasonable settlement amounts.

Ensure that settlement agreements are legally binding and provide sufficient recovery to minimize losses.

5. Legal Remedies and Recovery Proceedings:

Initiate legal actions promptly against defaulting borrowers.

Utilize legal remedies such as filing recovery suits, obtaining judgments, or issuing recovery notices.

Implement asset attachment, garnishment, or foreclosure based on legal provisions.

6. Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs):

Transfer NPAs to Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs) for resolution and recovery.

Collaborate with ARCs to manage and resolve distressed assets through asset sale or restructuring.

7. Collateral Management and Realization:

Efficiently manage collateral held against defaulted loans.

Conduct proper valuation of collateral assets and realize them effectively to recover outstanding dues.

8. Customer Engagement and Rehabilitation:

Adopt a customer-centric approach to engage with defaulting borrowers.

Provide financial counselling, debt management advice, or rehabilitation programs to support borrowers in resolving NPAs.

9. Continuous Monitoring and Follow-Up:

Establish dedicated recovery teams to monitor and follow up on overdue accounts.

Maintain regular communication with borrowers to understand their financial status and recovery prospects.

10. Regulatory Compliance and Reporting:

Adhere to regulatory guidelines and reporting requirements for NPA management and recovery.

Ensure transparency and accuracy in NPA classification, provisioning, and reporting to regulatory authorities.

11. Data Analytics and Technology Adoption:

Leverage data analytics and technology for predictive modelling and risk assessment.

Implement advanced tools for portfolio analysis, borrower profiling, and recovery strategy optimization.

12. Risk Mitigation and Prevention:

Enhance risk management practices to prevent future NPAs.

Strengthen underwriting standards, credit monitoring, and portfolio diversification to mitigate credit risks.

Conclusion: Implementing these strategies and following a structured roadmap can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of NPA recovery efforts for banks. It's essential to tailor recovery approaches based on the unique characteristics of each NPA case and borrower profile. Regular reviews and refinements of recovery strategies are crucial to adapting to evolving market conditions and regulatory changes.

In 2016, I met several Lumad leaders from the Philippines at the United Methodist General Conference in Portland, Oregon. The leaders were participating in Lakbay Lumad USA, a tour hosted by the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines and co-sponsored by the United Methodist Women and the Board of Church & Society.

During the speaking tour, the Lumad speakers shared their struggle against foreign mining companies and the militarization that came with the mining companies. Just a few months prior to their visit, 5,000 farmers in Southern Mindanao, home to the lumad, protested lack of government support and distribution of aid amid a drought. When the farmers peacefully protested, the police spared water cannons on them, and eventually fired bullets, killing one farmer and injuring others. The cry of the people become “Bigas Hindi Bala” or “Rice Not Bullets!” This was but one example of many instances of harassment and violence the Lumad people faced at the time. This video from the United Methodist Church gives an overview of the struggle of the Lumad.

The General Conference responded to the situation in the Philippines, amending and re-adopting Resolution #6118, which called for US restriction on military aid to the Philippines, the termination of US military agreements with the Philippines, and the resumption of peace talks in the country amid the ongoing civil war between the Community Party of the Philippines -NPA-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF) and the government of the Philippines.

Since General Conference, however, the human rights situation in the Philippines has largely worsened. After his election in 2016, President Rodrigo Duterte ran one of the most brutal and militarist regimes in Philippine history, shutting down progressive schools for Lumad children, opening up the country for more foreign mining, and waging an intense killing spree against activists via a counterinsurgency campaign and a so called “war on drugs.” To make things worse, Ferdinand Marcos Jr, son of one of the most brutal dictators in history, became President in May 2022. Intense repression, killings, and disappearances of activists have continued under Marcos Jr. with no sign of let up.

This September, news came that one of the Lumad leaders who visited the General Conference in 2016, Kerlan “Lala” Fanagal, was killed. Katribu, an indigenous organization in the Philippines, confirmed that Kerlan had joined the NPA in resistance to the government programs targeting the Lumad. Kerlan is one of many who have decided to join the NPA as a response to severe oppression in the country.

Snap Mabanta, staff member of the National Council of Churches in the Philippines, who recently toured the United States as part of the Just and Lasting Peace Speaking Tour, explained the basis of the civil war in the country in an interview: “Why is there a civil war in the Philippines? We think it is the poverty, the historical neglect and the lack of basic social services. These are the reasons people wage war in the country.”

Kerlan’s choice to fight for land and rights in the NPA was his solely, and not ours to judge – especially as people based in the United States, a country that has long held a necolonial relationship with the Philippines. Our role is to decide how we will respond to the social and economic crisis that Kerlan and the Lumad have helped expose, and to oppose the role the United States has played in worsening the crisis. While the United States continues to maintain the Philippines as a military outpost with nine bases, and as long as the U.S. continues to fund the Philippine military and police responsible for human right atrocities, it is our duty to organize in support of Philippine sovereignty and against US interference. If we want to contribute to peace in the Philippines, we must hold the US accountable for it’s perpetuation of war in the country. We can begin to do this through fulfilling resolution 6118 and push for the Philippine Human Rights Act, HR 1433, a bill that calls for the suspension of US military aid to the Philippines.

Isaiah 59 reads, “The Lord looked and is upset at the absence of justice”; let us also be upset, let us be in solidarity with people in the Philippines, let us be God’s image bearers, and devote ourselves to push for the Philippine Human Rights Act and for peace in the Philippines.
