Online Survey : Study on the Competency Level of Academic Librarians

Dear Fellow Librarians,

Good day!

In most educational institutions, Librarians are conducting Information Literacy (IL) sessions, building the skills of students and faculty on how to make use of information tools and resources correctly and ethically in finding the right information for their research. It is in this light that we are conducting a study on the competency level of academic librarians, particularly from the CALABARZON areas.

You and your librarians' response to this survey will be a great help for the success of our study. Your responses will be confidential and will not be used for any purposes other than this research.

We would very much appreciate if you could spare a few minutes of your time to answer our survey.

National Peace Consciousness Month

We celebrates the National Peace Consciousness Month every September as mandated under Proclamation No. 675 issued in July 2004 by then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The Presidential Proclamation was issued to “instill greater consciousness and understanding among the Filipino people on the comprehensive peace process to strengthen and sustain institutional and popular support for and participation in this effort, as well as in the global movement spearheaded by the United Nations to promote a Culture of Peace based on nonviolence, respect for fundamental rights and freedoms, tolerance, understanding and solidarity.”

This year theme is “Mithiing Kapayapaan: Sama-samang Isakatuparan” the month-long celebration calls for a unified action towards the shared aspiration for a just, comprehensive, and enduring peace regardless of ideology, religion, and culture.

The carrier tagline of this year’s Peace Month is “Peace Na Tayo” a simple way to communicate the theme’s call for a participative pursuit for peace.

EDITORIAL

September 14, 2018

TRAIN 2 to tax books?

Various sectors have reacted with alarm to what some alert citizens have discovered in the pages of Senate Bill No. 1906, filed by Sen. Vicente Sotto III. SB 1906, first called “TRAIN 2,” has been repackaged as “Trabaho” (Tax Reform for Attracting Better and High-quality Opportunities) to disassociate it from the unpopular TRAIN, which has been blamed for the inflation and painful economy now besetting the country. The House of Representatives passed its counterpart bill to SB 1906 this week.

Sotto’s measure contains a provision that seeks to repeal Section 12 of Republic Act No. 8047, or the Book Publishing Industry Development Act enacted in 1995, which exempts books, magazines, periodicals, newspapers, including book publishing, printing, distribution and circulation, from the expanded value added tax. Should the provision be retained and enacted into law, such goods and services will be taxed. The prices of books, including textbooks and raw materials for publishing, are likely to increase as a result.

The local book community is up in arms over the provision, warning that it would kill the country’s reading culture by making books even less accessible and affordable.

“You can tax cigarettes to discourage smoking. You can tax sugar for healthy living. But taxing books will not promote reading,” said Clem Malubay, owner of the independent Aklatan Bookstore and author of an online petition against the repeal in change.org.

Filipino writing organizations Linangan sa Imahen, Retorika, at Anyo  and the Unyon ng mga Manunulat sa Pilipinas, in their joint petition on Facebook, said: “Ang libro ay hindi lamang karaniwang libangan o aliwang maaaring patawan na lamang ng buwis, kung nanaisin. Hindi ito bisyo, tulad ng maraming ibig buwisan ngayon. Isa itong daan patungo sa pagkatuto, paglikha, at pagkilala sa sarili at daigdig. (A book is not a common form of entertainment that should be taxed at whim. It is not a vice, unlike other goods that are being taxed. It is a means of learning, of creating and discovering the self and the world).”

Those who have signed the petitions raise valid questions: Why tax educational materials, of all things? Why turn book ownership, in effect, into a privilege for a few?

Contrary to observations that Filipinos no longer read books given the current dominance of social media and television as sources of information, huge turnouts at book fairs like the Manila International Book Fair and Big Bad Wolf show otherwise.

A survey released by the National Book Development Board in 2012—the most recent data available—showed that “there still exists an enormous market in the Philippines for producers of all sorts of reading materials,” with 88 percent or almost 50 million Filipino adult readers. This figure, however, represented a slight decline from 94 percent in 2003 and 92 percent in 2007.

Those numbers could only further decline with the proposed book tax, and eventually kill the publishing industry.

This is not the first time that the government has attempted to tax books. Eight years ago, the Bureau of Customs imposed duties on a shipment of the popular young adult novel “Twilight,” causing a domino effect on other book imports. The book community loudly protested, citing the Unesco Florence Agreement of 1950, which binds signatory states, including the Philippines, not to impose customs duties on imported educational, scientific and cultural materials. The strong lobby managed to convince the administration of then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to scrap the customs duties.

Responding to the growing concerns over the problematic TRAIN 2 provision, Euvimil Nina Asuncion, Department of Finance legal and communications director, has reached out to Malubay through Aklatan’s Facebook page. She gave the assurance that enough legal safeguards are in place to ensure that books will remain exempt from tax and customs duties.

Such assurances are welcome, but not enough. Until the worrying provision is definitively stricken out of the final draft of the tax bill, the reading public has to stay vigilant and continue speaking out against it. Taxing books and making educational materials more expensive—rendering them out of reach, eventually, to many ordinary Filipinos—is antidemocratic, an assault on the essential republican ideal of an informed and critical citizenry.

UPSE Discussion Paper : Federalism Linked to Greater Inequality

Reposted below as sort of a "Library Newspaper Clipping" the article on federalism and providing the link to the cited paper. As the debate of whether or not to change the existing form of government intensify, Filipino librarians need to collate/collect all available published materials on the subject and made them readily available to our library users for them to have an informed and intellectual discussion on the pros and cons of federalism.

Federalism linked to greater inequality, UP study finds

By Leo Jaymar G. Uy, Research Head

FEDERALISM is a “strong predictor” of higher income inequality in developing economies and higher poverty on average for all countries, a study by the University of the Philippines School of Economics (UPSE) said.

“The pro-federalism position claims that federalism will cause poverty to fall and the distribution of income to be more equal. Our regression results bear neither of these claims,” wrote economists Raul V. Fabella and Sarah Lynne Daway-Ducanes in a UPSE discussion paper, “Federalism and Inclusion in Developing Economies.”

“On the contrary, federalism strongly predicts greater income inequality in developing countries. Our results also show that federalism strongly predicts higher poverty incidence and severity on average: it does not reduce poverty incidence and severity in developing economies,” the report added.

The study covers 105 economies during the 1987-2016 period, and used the Gini coefficient as a measure of inequality while the poverty gap ratio and poverty head count ratios were used as measures of poverty.

The Gini coefficient looks at the distribution of a nation’s income and is most widely used as measure of inequality. The income distribution of a country is said to be more unequal the higher its Gini coefficient.

The poverty gap ratio shows the average shortfall of the total population from the poverty line (expressed as a percentage of the poverty line) — reflecting both the severity and incidence of poverty. The poverty head count ratio, meanwhile, is the percentage of population that lives below the poverty line.

For the poverty lines, the study used the World Bank’s “extreme poverty line” of $1.90 per day and the $3.2 per day standard for lower-middle-income countries.

Among the determinants used in the study were the real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate, “trade openness” (expressed as a percentage of the sum of imports and exports against GDP), the International Monetary Fund’s financial institutional access index (expressed as bank branches per 100,000 adults and automated teller machines per 100,000 adults), and the inter-country risk guide (ICRG), a measure of institutional quality.

While the paper showed that federalism “negatively associates” with income inequality on average, it has an “inequality-increasing effect” in developing economies — defined in the study as those having a real GNI (gross national income) per capita of not more than $10,000 in 1992.

Meanwhile, it found that federalism “has either no effect or a poverty-raising effect.”

“The federalism dummy [variable] in each case has an unconditionally and strongly significant and positive correlation with poverty incidence and poverty severity. In the case of developing economies, it is shown that federalism has no effect at all on poverty incidence or its severity,” said Mr. Fabella and Ms. Daway-Ducanes in the report.

“Federalism thus appears to be on the wrong side of inclusion — in terms of both poverty reduction and greater income equality.”

The authors concluded: “On the debate whether we should shift to federalism, if inclusion is the criterion, our research results finds no support in favor of such despite the claims of proponents. Indeed, the results show that poverty incidence and income inequality could become worse. The contemplated shift appears to be a jump from the frying pan to the fire.”

The National Economic and Development Authority has proposed a five-phase transition to a federal form of government to avoid disrupting the economy’s growth momentum. Economic managers earlier warned that the proposed changes could cause the fiscal deficit to rise beyond the 3% threshold against gross domestic product ratio, the rule-of-thumb level for prudent borrowing.
