Re-electionist Sen. JV Ejercito bats for the creation of ‘Luzon Growth Triangle’
RE-ELECTIONIST Senator JV “Mr. Healthcare” Ejercito on Friday batted for the development of a “Luzon Growth Triangle” which would stimulate rapid economic boom as well as sustain growth in the region.
He said the growth triangle should also include the full development of Clark International Airport, a modern railway system, and vital road networks “to ensure seamless delivery of goods, services, and people.”
“I have been very vocal in pushing for the creation of a ‘Luzon Growth Triangle’ composed mainly of Subic, Manila, and Batangas. This will not only bring economic growth in the region, which will benefit the whole country also, but also create jobs for our workers,” he said.
Ejercito, who remains popular among Filipinos due to his many achievements and bills passed, said Luzon should evolve into an “investment magnet” that would attract both foreign and local investors.
“I am really for massive infrastructure program and modern railway system. I am running now for my reelection because I really want to push for these. One of the reasons why I would want to run (again) kasi gusto ko talagang tutukan ito. I am the only one that is really passionately talking about the railway system, the modernization plan of airports at kapag nanalo ako, talagang tututukan natin ‘yan,” he said.

New Sulu King research book by Chinese author debuts in Philippines
A NEW SULU King research book, presented by China's Guangxi Normal University Press Group and the Philippines' 1986 Summer House Publishing, debuted on Friday in Manila to introduce the history of ancient Sino-Philippine exchanges for Filipinos.
The book, named "The Bridge of Sino-Philippines Friend: Marking the 600th anniversary of Sulu Sultan's Visiting to China", was published in 2017 with Chinese version and updated in 2018 with the Philippine version.
At the launch ceremony, the author, history professor of Dezhou University, Wang Shoudong, said the book mainly tells about the journey of Sulu King's visit to China 600 years ago. With piles of solid historical materials and pictures, readers can know the period of history better through the vivid stories.
In 1417, a large goodwill mission led by three kings of Sulu, in what is now the southern Philippines, ploughed through the Pacific Ocean to China to pay tribute to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
On his way home, Paduka Pahala, the East King of Sulu, died in Dezhou, a city in east China's Shandong province. The Emperor Zhu Di commissioned artisans to build a tomb for the king, which still stands today in the Chinese city.
Some descendants of Paduka Pahala remained in China as grave keepers and were attended to by three Chinese families who were relocated to live with them. They picked up the surnames An and Wen during the Qing Dynasty, and now more than 3,700 descendants live in different parts of China.
"Paduka Pahala's visit to China opened up a new era of Sino-Philippines relations. Nowadays, the story of Sulu King's visit has been known in China and the Philippines, which both countries are proud of, " Wang said.
Christopher Lucas, the chief operating officer of 1986 Summer House Publishing, said it is the first Chinese book he introduced in Philippine book market. He believes that it is a milestone for both publishers to boost cooperation in the realm of culture and publishing.
"The book is a historical record of 600th anniversary of Sulu King visiting China. His visit served as a cornerstone of the long-lasting friendship between the Philippines and China. I assure the bond of the two countries will be more tight in the future, " said Yang Shengjiang, the chairman of Sino-Philippines Association of the Descendants of the Sulu King. (Xinhua)

New Israeli envoy meets with Cebu biz leaders
CEBU CITY – New Israeli Ambassador to the Philippines Rafael Harpaz met with Cebuano business leaders and discussed ways to boost economic cooperation between the two countries.
“I’m here in Cebu to further strengthen our economic relations with the Philippines,” Harpaz told reporters during his recent visit here where he met with members of the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Harpaz, accompanied by his wife, Shulamit, and honorary consul Emily Chioson, said Cebu has also become a favorite tourist destination among Israelis, adding, more tour operators in Israel are promoting packaged holiday trips to the province. “The Philippines is easy to sell in Israel. This is why we encouraged the Philippine Airlines to open direct flights to Tel Aviv from Manila and vice versa,” he said.
He said these direct flights translate to economic growth for both countries through tourism because these would bring more Filipino pilgrims to the Holy Land and Israeli tourists to the beautiful islands of the Philippines.
More joint business ventures between Israel and the Philippines could also be forged with the opening of the direct Manila-Tel Aviv flights, he said.
Harpaz said the Israelis owe the Filipinos a great deal as the Philippines did not only open its doors for the more than a thousand Jews during the Holocaust, but was also the only Asian country to vote for the independence of Israel in the 1947 United Nations General Assembly.
Harpaz also met with Governor Hilario Davide III, Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña, and Mandaue City Mayor Luigi Quisumbing.( Luel Galarpe)
