“WORKING TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE INCLUSIVE PROSPERITY”
by M.A.P. President MARIFE B. ZAMORA on 31 January 2017
In 1993, Maya Angelou read the concluding lines of the poem ‘On the Pulse of
Morning’. The poem's themes are change, inclusion, responsibility, and our role in
establishing economic prosperity. Capturing the hope embodied in the human
spirit, it was a solemn and joyful reminder that all things are possible and that a
new day is dawning.
I would like to thank Atty. PERRY PE for leading the MAP in 2016, and the
members of last year’s MAP Board of Governors for their valuable contribution to
the MAP’s mission of promoting management excellence through nation-building.
MAP’s Strategic Thrust
In conducting our programs for 2017, the MAP Board will abide by the MAP’s
continuing Strategic Thrust with the following 3 pillars:
Members Benefits
Advocacies for
Good Governance
Global Competitiveness
Inclusive and Sustainable Growth
Climate Change
Programs for Management Excellence
2017 M.A.P. Theme
As in the past years, our activities this year will be guided by a theme, and our
2
theme for 2017 is “Working Together to Achieve Inclusive Prosperity.”
How do we operationalize the M.A.P. theme?
1.
We will commit to the “Moral Imperative of Modern Leadership” - - - the
concept of integrity – 'doing well by doing good' with strategies that reward
positive social and environmental outcomes while promising healthy financial
returns.
2.
We will respond to the “Call to Action” by collaborating on humanitarian
and development efforts to reward innovation and critical thinking to deliver
economic freedom to the millions who have been left behind.
We will encourage M.A.P. members to heed the urgent call for the 'noble vocation'
of businesses to help create a more inclusive and humane economy.
Inspired by the need to provide more and better jobs, broader prosperity and
lasting ways to help the less fortunate, the M.A.P. will encourage transformative
actions and an economic system that promotes growth and spreads its benefits
more broadly.
3.
We will promote “Decent Work for All” by addressing growing skills void
that stunt economic growth threatening far-reaching social and political
repercussions thru education that enrich.
In pursuing its mission of promoting management excellence for nation-building,
the M.A.P. will push for reforms and policies that are geared towards eliminating
poverty, capitalizing on disruptive technologies, and enabling a more sustainable
business environment where everyone has room to succeed.
4.
We will harness the “Economic Power of Women” by sharing our
learnings to foster a more equitable workforce and provide more opportunity for
this critical population.
TOP PRIORITY PROGRAMS FOR 2017
We in the 2017 Board have agreed to pursue the following Top Five Priority
programs for 2017:
First, TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
We plan our lives and schedules based on traffic such that all of us have become
time-poor. The traffic problem continues to adversely affect business and
employee productivity so we will continue pushing for the implementation of the
M.A.P.’s Traffic and Infrastructure Recommendations that were submitted to the
government in August 2015 through a paper entitled “Traffic and Transportation
Problems of Metro Manila: A Holistic Approach.”
Second, EASE OF DOING BUSINESS
3
We will continue the flagship program of the 2016 Board which is the “Ease of
Doing Business” program.
We will continue to offer practical business solutions for government’s
consideration that will help improve the business registration/accreditation process
and address bureaucratic problems faced by prospective investors.
Third, ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Through our EMERGE Program or the Educated Marginalized Entrepreneurs
Resource GEneration Program, we will continue assisting the entrepreneurs who
would like to go into businesses which have big potential for growth and job
generation.
The EMERGE Program today is now blessed with 3 ongoing projects, 19 Partnersin-Mission and 35 Volunteer Mentors.
Fourth, EMPLOYMENT GENERATION
Economically, employment provides income to families, stimulates demand for
goods and services, and promotes sustainable growth.
Socially, employment promotes social development, keeps the talent in the
country, encourages the immersion of marginalized sectors of society, and
improves social welfare.
Fifth, WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
We have created a Women Empowerment Committee that will address women
empowerment issues like the ability of women to enjoy their rights to control and
benefit from resources, assets, income and their own time, as well as women’s
ability to manage risk and improve their economic status and well-being. This
Committee will also be expected to help increase the number of women members
of the M.A.P. and help encourage top women executives to go up the ladder and
reach the top positions in their respective organizations.
Member Benefits
In order to make the M.A.P. more relevant to its members amidst the rapidly
changing environment here and abroad, we will continue to have more interesting
learning sessions and more networking fellowship activities this year.
Members’ Participation
As expert business leaders and managers, M.A.P. members will share their
talent, time and treasure in our programs that address traffic management, ease of
doing business, entrepreneurial development, employment generation, women
empowerment, among others.
4
I call upon each and every MAP member to please support your Board’s efforts
and participate in the various activities of the M.A.P. this year.
In closing, I would like to thank my family - my son Ian who is represented by his
wife Jhoana and my grandson Ayrton, my daughter Tina and my siblings. I
wouldn’t be where I am today without my work family in IBM and of course,
Convergys. I am also grateful for the support of my friends from UP, Sigma Delta
Phi, Sylk and the SheEOs of the Filipina CEO Circle. Thanks too to my
colleagues in the BPO industry, the AmCham and the Integrity Initiative for their
support. Finally, I would like to thank the M.A.P. general membership and the
2017 Board of Governors for affording me the honor and privilege of serving as
the 3rd woman president and the 68th President of the M.A.P.
In conclusion, let me leave you with a quote from Pope Francis,
“If we want security, let us give security.
If we want life, let us give life.
If we want opportunities, let us provide opportunities.
The yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us.”

Updates on the EMERGE Program

Circular No. 011 – 2017
Subject:
Updates on the EMERGE Program
Dear MAP Member:
Blessed New Year!
Thank you to all those who gave their time and resources to EMERGE, M.A.P.’s inclusive
growth program through job creation. Your participation as partners-in-mission, funders,
mentors and/or committee members helped marginalized communities in Lanao del
Norte, Zambales, Cavite and Batangas.
The EMERGE Program stands for Educated Marginalized Entrepreneurs Resource
GEneration Program which aims to provide jobs and income to the educated
entrepreneurial poor with a business potential for growth but hindered by lack of
resources. EMERGE tries to bridge this gap in entrepreneurial start-up by providing
mentoring, values formation and funding.
Mentoring will cover management skills, governance, regulatory compliance and values
formation. As part of mentorship, we help prepare the financial projections and evaluate
the viability for approval by the M.A.P. Board for funding assistance and mentorship
support. Funding will provide initial equity requirement for a possible loan.
Launched in 2015, total donations to the EMERGE fund amounts to P3.6 Million, P1.6 M of
which was lent out to 3 projects as follows: P500,000 to Ecosustain Solutions, Inc.
(EcoSol)for an abaca farming project in Rogongon, Lanao del Norte; P300,000 to
farmer/landowner Mr. Filomeno Limeta through AgriDevelopment, the buyer of
alternative fuel from napier plants in Nasugbu, Batangas and P300,000 to Community
Health Education Emergency Resource Services (CHEERS)for the production of tropical
flour from malunggay and cassava farmed by tribes in Zambales, used in the production
of nutritional food & emergency food reserves for disasters, manufactured in Cavite.
7
EcoSol is ably handled by social entrepreneur Engr. Regina Antequista who has been with
the community for the past 5 years. Passing fiber quality and moisture content
requirements, the abaca farming and trading as of September 2016 delivered shipments
to its sole client, New Tech Pulp, Inc., a New York-based company. Napier, on the other
hand, is in partnership with the sugar company of Roxas Holdings, Inc. Napier or
pokchong costs less to grow but can be harvested 3 times yearly. Twenty (20) farmers
will earn additional income from this project.
In the pipeline among others are coffee trading in Davao, virgin coconut oil farming and
processing in Zamboanga and organic vegetable farming in Luzon.
In our visits to potential funders and partners-in-mission, new directions lead us to offer
mentoring services to foundations and CSR programs, hook up proponents to corporate
value chain or develop projects in communities or locations where companies operate.
The work of “mercy for the lost and confused and compassion for the poor and the
needy,” (Pope Francis) continues. We are constrained to reach out to other communities
due to limited funds.
Should you wish to participate in the EMERGE program through projects, funding or
mentoring, please send us an email at [email protected] or please call M.A.P.
Secretariat at Tel: 751-1149.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
FRANCISCO F. DEL ROSARIO, JR.

“Accountant's creed”
from M.A.P. Tax Committee Chair and M.A.P. EMERGE Committee Vice
Chair ALEXANDER “Alex” B. CABRERA’s “As easy as ABC” Column in THE
PHILIPPINE STAR on 29 January 2017
I beg the indulgence of my readers this Sunday as I share here instead an excerpt
of my keynote speech last Thursday before the Association of Certified Public
Accountants in Commerce and Industry (ACPACI):
There were times, during the last decade or so, that accountants grabbed the
limelight for the wrong reasons. Enron, AIG and Lehman Brothers, to name a few,
were accounting-assisted scandals. External auditors were quick to be identified
for crucifixion, but what can’t be missed is the role of the accountants inside the
corporation – those accountants in commerce and industry.
If at all it is a saving grace, accountants are not the most guilty in a fiscal scandal.
They are, at best, pawns; and at worst, accomplices.
These exceptions do not define the accounting profession. But they can define a
global economy that can be brought to its knees by the ripples of a collapse of a
giant financial institution, assisted by accounting mistakes, if not accounting fraud.
I have difficulty defining our profession to the guy next to me because I cannot
point to a tangible product. It is easier to say that we tabulate the Oscars or the
Miss Universe votes as that is relatable to all, but tabulation does not define us.
I envy engineers or architects because they can show to any person the result of
their labor, whether it be the three towers of the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore or
the smaller three towers of Rockwell Business Center at Ortigas Avenue. I have a
friend claiming that he got involved in designing the bridgeway connecting the two
buildings of SM Megamall (a novelty when that was built), but I could not create
the same impact explaining that we once performed an audit of the financial
statements of SM.
It’s easier for a doctor to point to a source of pride by naming the persons whose
lives he saved or whose illnesses he cured. For an accountant, it just doesn’t sound
the same to say that you saved costs for a company by doing tax-efficient
structures.
It must be said, though, that accountants have gone beyond non-traditional
accounting products like environmental accounting, forensics, data analytics and
technology-related services. But even these new service offerings cannot define an
accountant.
14
What really defines an accountant is its real commodity, and that commodity is
trust.
Think about it. If people don’t trust that the money they part with will be
accounted well, they will not deposit their money in banks. Then there will be no
banks, no financial institutions, no pooling of funds for economic advancement.
Without the financial reports, people will not invest in a company that they do not
personally know anyway, and then there would be no public listing, no stock
exchanges anywhere in the world.
If you cannot measure growth without a validated base figure of past performance,
then how can you aspire for growth? If you cannot figure out employee bonuses
without a verified result of operations, then how can you at all reward employees?
We may not build skyscrapers, but we can build a higher level of trust and
confidence in the recorded transactions and in financial reports. We may not save
lives, but we can elevate the standard of living because through transparency,
people will be compensated with what they deserve. We may not be able to invent
cure for diseases, but we know governance. And governance can be the cure to
many corporate ills.
So the next time we are asked, “What is your profession?” I would suggest an
answer: “Our profession is about the preservation of trust.” Our real role is to
protect what is true. As accountants, our real job is to be custodians of the truth.
And that should be our source of pride.

“One Wins, One Loses”
from M.A.P. Governor PETER WALLACE’s “Like it is” Column in the
PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER on 26 January 2017
Think of this. It takes months, even years to pass a bill through the House of
Representatives. It took the House more than 10 years to pass the Department of
ICT and RH bills. The much-needed FOI bill is still pending in the Lower
Chamber after more than 20 years. Last December, House Bill 4144 passed
through all three readings in an incredible two weeks ― no, not months, not years,
but weeks. Only two committee meetings were held to address the bill.
So it must have been of utmost national importance. Maybe more important than
the Emergency/Special Powers we all sufferers of traffic pray for. Or the proposed
reduction of our taxes Duterte’s government has promised us.
But, no, nothing like that, it was a bill not only not on the President’s priority list,
15
it wasn’t on any list at all. In fact, not only was it not government priority the
Department of Finance even strongly opposes it. It just sought to stop the carefully
thought-out law, RA 10351, designed to reduce, even stop smoking. And raise
revenues for government’s health programs and to support tobacco farmers. It
seems congressmen saw this as so urgent as to give it a priority never given before.
So what is the change the House so urgently wants? It’s to stop the shift to a
single, high, deterrent tax that came into effect on January 1, 2017. And introduce
a two−tier system. Less tax for cheaper cigarettes (presumably, to help the poor die
faster) and a higher one for the more expensive kind. Those arguing for a 2-tier tax
system for cigarettes are working on a wrong premise. They think it is unfair to
charge the poor as much as the rich because it is unfair to the poor. Indeed it is, if
you want people to smoke. I don’t and no health expert does. Cigarettes are bad for
you.
The National Tobacco Administration say they want a 2-tier tax system so people
will smoke low quality, cheaper local tobacco leaf. But the tobacco growers are
opposing it saying increased taxes will hurt them. I thought one of the goals of the
Sin Tax was to allocate funds to help some farmers switch to another crop.
Coconut or corn would be a good choice. They could make good money while
keeping Filipinos healthy. What a nice combination.
In any case Filipino tobacco farmers needn’t suffer if people smoke less. Data
from the National Tobacco Administration showed that in 2014, total tobacco leaf
production amounted to 68 million kilograms. Of which, 56% or 38 million
kilograms was exported unmanufactured leaf tobacco. It shouldn’t take too much
effort to increase that, by improving the quality of their crop, to compensate for
any loss in the domestic sales they are so worried about.
So why was it proposed? Well there are only two major players in the cigarette
business: PMFTC that makes brands in both cheap and expensive forms. And
Mighty that makes only the cheaper ones.
What happens when there’s a two−tier system is that many smokers down shift to
cheaper, less taxed brands that one company relies on for its business. And like
everything in this world you get what you pay for. Meanwhile forget the harm
done by smoking and its impact on the poor, or the farmers who will presumably
suffer by the hikes in tax proposed in this Bill. So is the intent of two tiers to
hasten the death of the poor? That seems to be the curious argument.
A two tier system results in PMFTC losing sales, and Mighty gaining them. The
nonsense that congressmen are foisting on us – the tax is regressive and Filipino
farmers will suffer – is just that: Nonsense. Yes, of course, its regressive it’s
designed to be. To encourage poorer people not to waste their limited funds on
smoking but instead look after their health. This is not an economic issue revolving
around the tax being regressive if single tier, it’s a health issue, what best preserves
the good health of people. Not smoking, or at least smoking less must be the focus,
and the aim.
A single tier will help do that. Two tiers won’t. You don’t want economics experts
16
discussing this, you want health experts.
One would expect the Senate as a more independent, thoughtful body, will not
agree to this strange railroading.
