Frequently asked questions

What are Retail Treasury Bonds (RTB)?

RTBs are medium- to long-term debt securities issued by the Republic of the Philippines (“ROP” or “the Republic”) through the Bureau of the Treasury (“BTr”). The RTBs are part of the government’s savings mobilization program designed to make government securities available to retail investors; hence, the name Retail Treasury Bonds. RTBs are fixed-income securities that pay a fixed interest rate per annum over a specified period of time with a promise to return the principal at the end of the term.

Where do the proceeds of the RTBs go?

The proceeds will be allocated to the country’s emergency, recovery, and resiliency funds. The funds will finance expenditures focused on:

1. Supporting sectors most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e., the unemployed, MSMEs, and the country’s healthcare system)
2. Construction of Infrastructure projects
3. Refinancing of existing debt
4. Other key national expenditures, focused more on the country’s efforts against the pandemic

Are RTBs safe investments?

Investing in RTBs is considered safe and low-risk because they are a direct obligation of the Philippine government. However, they are still affected by risk and opportunity cost. Thus, it is highly recommended that you understand it first and all the risks involved before investing in RTBs.

If I have concerns regarding the offer, who do I contact?

For more information, visit the Bureau of the Treasury’s website. You may also contact BPI Capital by e-mailing bpicapital@bpi.com.ph.

I used to think yoga and business mixed like oil and water.

I was convinced that by teaching yoga I’d be poor.

I was close to giving up my dream more times than I can count.

For three years, I went through a painful process of trial-and-error.

  • I stumbled my way through figuring out how to get studios to hire me.
  • I lost money on retreats and workshops.
  • I wasted time on non-viable strategies for YouTube and social media.

It wasn’t easy.

I had no path to success.

No mentor.

No proof that someone like me could earn a living doing what I love.

Four years deep into making my dream of teaching yoga full time a reality (right when I was about to throw my laptop at the wall) small successes trickled in.

  • A major yoga publication found an article I’d written on yoga blocks. They started paying me to write for them.
  • A large website picked up one of the YouTube videos I’d done proper keyword research on. They syndicated it, earning me thousands of views.
  • I advocated for myself, and finally got the primetime teaching slot at the most popular studio in my city.

I began seeing a pattern in the types of activities that resulted in more students and income, and focused on them.

I quit the types of activities that led to burn out and overwhelm.

The key was knowing the difference.

This is the knowledge I want to share with YOU through this new course.

Today, I run a multi-million dollar yoga business and employ an international team of ten… yet I can still remember exactly what it was like to be a newly minted YTT grad, with no idea what to do next.

This program is the GIFT 🎁  that I wish had existed for my newbie self.

LGet hired by studios?

LMake money teaching corporates, privates, and on Zoom?

LLaunch online courses and yoga challenges with templates (rather than figuring it out on your own)?

LDiscover your lucrative online yoga niche?

I’m always wary of programs and teachers that promise to teach you how to create a digital course… when they’re led by people who’ve never built anything other than courses about course creation.

I’m sharing this information not because I need to, but because I want to.

I want YOU to reach more students and have a big positive impact on our world.

I only teach what I’ve mastered. I never promote techniques that haven’t worked for me personally.

This course takes you step-by-step through my own journey as a self-made yoga millionaire, unpacking all my hard-earned lessons along the way.

I started with no capital and no technical skills.

From humble beginnings as a newbie yoga teacher trying to land my first studio job… to hosting my first membership site with live group calls… to launching seasonal yoga challenges. I take you behind-the-scenes on every step of my own journey and show YOU my shortcuts to success.

Unlike many programs which are theoretical, this course provides dozens of real world examples.

Go behind-the-scenes on my own launches.

Steal my email templates (literally ready for you to copy and paste!) for outreach to studios and corporations.

After Completing this Program, You’ll Be Crystal Clear On:

Your rate card and pricing for a variety of yoga teaching scenarios

How to launch a yoga challenge or digital yoga course from inception through to completion

How to design your emails, plan your social media, and monetize your lucrative niche

Empower Yourself!

This program is for you if you:

Finished a YTT 200-hour and now need help getting actual teaching jobs

Feel stuck around designing your website, collecting emails, and marketing strategy

Envision yourself teaching, but feel overwhelmed because you don’t know what to charge or what steps to take in what order

Yoga Business Launchpad FAQ

Who is the Uplifted Business Launchpad for?

This program is PERFECT for you if you’ve finished a YTT 200-hour and now need help getting actual teaching jobs, if you feel stuck around designing your website, collecting emails, and marketing strategy, or if you envision yourself teaching, but feel overwhelmed because you don’t know what to charge or what steps to take or in what order.

How much business experience do I need?

None! This is a back to basics, beginner friendly, step-by-step program that is accessible to anyone regardless of where they are in their yoga or entrepreneurship career. Just like you first needed an experienced yoga instructor to help you become the yoga practitioner you are today, I’m an experienced business owner who can help you build an online business as a yoga instructor.

Should I take this program if I’m an Uplifted YTT 200-hour or Kundalini University grad?

Yes! This program builds on concepts you were introduced to already but takes them to the next level. Even if you’ve completed a yoga teacher training with another yoga studio or school, this course will be helpful. Upon receiving your yoga certification, there isn’t much guidance on how to start a yoga business. This budget-friendly online course will help you establish a yoga business plan and identify the next steps in your yoga career. It’s also a great peek into some of what we cover in my 300-hour teacher training 🙂

Should I take this program if I’m an Uplifted YTT 300-hour grad?

YES if you’re enrolling now or graduating in 2022 or beyond! The program dovetails perfectly with our re-hauled Module 2 of your 300-hour training. If you completed your 300-Hour with us before July 2021, this course breaks out concepts you’re already familiar with, but could be helpful as a yoga business review.

Is the content the same as the business content in the Uplifted 300-hour training?

The Launchpad content is not the same as the business content in 300-Hour YTT. Launchpad is tactical and provides invaluable templates, worksheets and emails you can use to get teaching jobs or launch challenges or a digital course. 300 YTT takes these skills to the next level with mindset work, accountability, mastermind groups and live business coaching. A small handful of videos overlap between the two programs, for example, the trainings about the Youtube Algorithm, Filming Yourself and creating your Ideal Client Avatar. However, Brett filmed Launchpad as its own stand-alone program with its own manual/workbook that yoga teachers can work through at home.

The content in 300-Hour goes deeper and provides additional tools (for example, her Retreat/Workshop Calculator) and is an interactive experience with an emphasis not only on tactics, but how to overcome self-limiting beliefs, avoid burnout and discern exactly which strategy is best for your unique situation. Brett does live coaching with students to help them overcome any block they may be experiencing around money mindset, website design, pricing, and so much more! You also get to work in hand-picked Mastermind groups with classmates that have similar interests. It’s the best way to stay accountable and achieve your business goals with support from Brett and the group. Email [email protected] with any additional questions.

Is there live interaction?

This is a 100% home study course. If you want a live component to your training, do Brett’s 300-hour YTT! (Note: there are recordings of Brett coaching people on their yoga business strategy that were originally recorded live.)

I feel overwhelmed! I have lots of ideas, but I’m not sure what to do or in what order. Is this course still right for me?

Yes! In fact, this course is EXACTLY what you need. The framework and blueprints you’ll be provided with will quiet the overwhelm in your head in no time and replace it with actionable steps! The yoga industry is ripe with opportunities and, thanks to technology, it’s easier than ever to create an online business. From creating a yoga website to defining your yoga service, this course is designed to bring clarity and give actionable steps to starting your (very successful) yoga career!

I have no idea what I want to sell yet/ I’m early in my teaching career. Should I still sign up?

YES – brainstorming exercises are included. This course helps you build YOUR unique offer. Starting a successful yoga business, whether through an online yoga studio, creating an online course, leading teacher training courses or yoga retreats, or even teaching yoga in a physical studio, all begins with a plan. In this Yoga Business Launchpad, I’ll teach you how to identify what your key selling points are as a yoga instructor and how to create a yoga business plan. We will also go over the exact marketing strategy that I used to build my successful yoga business so that you can follow in my footsteps. Having no idea what you want to sell or what kind of yoga service you want to offer is EXACTLY the reason why I created this online course! It is designed to help the budding yoga instructor to launch their yoga career from scratch.

Fireworks and your Dog

How to prepare for the 4th of July if your dog has a problem with fireworks.

June is coming to a close, kids are out for the summer and you can smell the BBQ's cooking burgers and dogs on every block. The days are warm but the evenings are usually cool and peaceful so everyone is outside making it one of the best times of the year, for most.

Just around the corner is a great holiday that most Americans are looking forward to, Independence day on July 4th. We get to spend the day outside with family and friends eating, drinking, playing yard games and more. And for many the party doesn't end when the sun goes down, it gets started. The darkness means Fireworks!! Huge bright and intense explosions of many brilliant varied colors in cool shapes and designs. I love thinking of the movie "The Sandlot", where the 4th of July was the only time of the year they could play night games, but even in the middle of playing their favorite game of all time, they would stop to watch the marvel of fireworks. Who doesn't love them!! Dogs!!.

Even with all of this allure and elegance most dogs become extremely fearful of fireworks. Whether it is the sound, the earth shaking vibrations or the flashing lights most dogs have serious issues with them. So, what can we do about it? Well, I don't think we are going to ban fireworks so what can we do with/ for our K-9 companions? There are a variety of ways to look to ease their stress and work with them.

Many times the best way to "deal" with your dogs fear of fireworks is not to expose your pup to them. Look up when and where the local fireworks shows are being held and avoid them.

Some dogs get so afraid that they run away in panic. This makes things tough because no matter how responsive they be normally, if they get panicked you run a huge risk of losing your dog. So make sure that your 4- legged furry family member is wearing their tags and/or their microchip is updated.

You may wish to keep your dog in a more save and secure location. Indoors in their home would be best. But a crate can keep them from getting lost or hurting themselves and sometimes a car can work in a pinch.

Before the fireworks:

  • Fill up your dogs water bowl. If they are anxious they may become thirsty.

  • Feed your dog earlier then usual. When the fireworks start your dog may be too anxious to eat or may vomit up their food.

  • Grant your dog the opportunity to go to the bathroom before the fireworks. This way they also don't urinate or defecate themselves in fear.

  • Make sure you shut all doors and windows in your home and don’t forget to close the curtains. This will block out any flashes of light and reduce the noise level of the fireworks.

  • Make a safe den for your dog to retreat to if they feel scared. Make sure to fill it with their favorite blankets, toys, or an item of unwashed clothing, as these may help them feel safe.

During the fireworks:

  • Try to keep their ears and mind occupied by playing noise canceling sounds, white noise or music so they are less affected by the sounds.

  • Try to act and behave as normal as possible. Remain calm, happy and cheerful as this will send positive signals to your dog.

  • If your dog chooses to hide or comes to you for comfort, don't just coddle them. You will be rewarding the fear response. Try to talking happily and cheerful. Ignoring your dog could also only make things worse.

  • Always reward calm behavior with dog treats or playing.

  • Do not force your dog to face these fears – they may become more frightened. We can't explain how fireworks work in words that they can understand.

  • Don't get mad or disappointed at your dog for showing fear during fireworks. It is a very natural response that all animals will/should show.

  • If you need to open the front door, shut your dog safely inside a room first.

  • You can try a Thunder Vest for these times but I would still take other precautions.

I wouldn't:

  • I wouldn't take my dog to a firework display, even if he/she does not bark or whimper, don’t assume he/she is happy. Excessive yawning and panting are common symptoms of anxiety

  • I wouldn't tie my dog up while sitting under or being near by some fireworks. If your dog panics and tries running away, they run a serious risk of hurting themselves.

If you are still having serious issues, speak with a professional or ask your vet what you can use to help ease their tension and anxiety.

Fireworks are exceptionally loud and surprising particularly for you furry friends. Let's grant them peace and safety during these times because they deserve it.

Martin Guptill belted New Zealand to an eight-wicket win over Pakistan in a rain-shortened second one-day international on Tuesday.

Guptill blasted 55 off 31 balls after the rain break to be unbeaten on 86 as New Zealand reached their revised target of 151 in 25 overs with seven balls to spare.

Pakistan, boosted by a late run charge from Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan, made 246 for nine in their 50 overs and New Zealand were 64 for two after 14 overs in reply when the rain set in.

Under the Duckworth-Lewis revision, New Zealand had 11 overs to make a further 87 runs when play resumed.

Guptill’s whirlwind knock included five fours and five sixes while Ross Taylor, keen to yield the strike in their 104-run stand, had only four boundaries in his 45 off 43 deliveries.

Pakistan did have early success with the ball, removing Colin Munro in the first over without scoring and Kane Williamson for 19 to have New Zealand at two for 47 in the 10th over.

But the Pakistan bowlers were not allowed to settle when the weather cleared as Guptill and Taylor pounded the boundaries.

After Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat they recovered from an early collapse they recovered to reach 246 on the back of half-centuries by Mohammad Hafeez (60), Shadab Khan (52) and Hasan Ali (51).

Mohammad Hafeez held the first half of the innings together while Hasan and Shadab mounted a late rescue mission when Pakistan were 141 for seven.

The pair featured in a 70-run partnership off 49 deliveries for the eighth wicket which included 21 off one over by Todd Astle.

Lochie Ferguson was New Zealand’s chief wicket-taker with three for 39.

New Zealand now lead the five-match series 2-0 with game three in Dunedin on Saturday.

Why Mighty Networks is NOT The Best Tool For Your Online Courses/Community

March 29, 2021

You’re probably someone who has been using Mighty Networks or is considering using Mighty Networks for your online courses or your brand/personal community. I’ll do my best in order to give you an unbiased picture of the platform; what it’s great at and what it isn’t. All cards are on the table!

No doubt that it has a few cool features that enable you to manage your community but it’s far away from the all-in-one solution it claims to be. When you’re paying ~$100 for a community platform, you expect more than the basic features that countless free-to-use platforms offer. This is one of the core reasons why Mighty Networks fails to offer course makers and community leaders an end-to-end solution.

Let’s take a deeper look into the key pain points we’ve heard from multiple Mighty Networks users and why there is a need for a Mighty Networks alternative.

Problems with Mighty Networks

Expensive Pricing :

Mighty Networks does claim to be an affordable option with their dynamic pricing plans. But the real question here is, why pay for a service that offers the most basic of features that countless other platforms offer completely for free?

Non-intuitive Experience :

Having a ton of features is one thing while integrating all of them in a seamless way to make a simple user experience is a whole different ball game. I’ve heard countless users whine about how difficult it is to navigate through Mighty Network’s complex UI; eventually leading to their customers/community members dropping off.

Now when you’re paying for a service like this, you certainly don’t want your users to just leave because of user-experience issues.

Low Engagement :

This problem simply follows the previous one; if your community finds it hard to navigate through the platform, it gets even harder for them to engage. Moreover, there is literally no incentive for the members to navigate through all the conundrums.

No In-App Video Hosting :

You read that right. You’re paying for service nearly ~$100, to begin with, and now you’re having to pay another service like Zoom or a similar platform for their video-hosting services only so that you can embed it back onto Mighty Networks. How can one claim to be an all-in-one community platform without video hosting; a driver for live events that happens to be one of the basic pillars of a community or an online course.

Even if you do have a premium subscription to a video hosting service, why go through the hassle of integrating it onto Mighty Networks every single time for an event?

So What’s The Alternative to Mighty Networks?

A platform that solves each of the problems mentioned above is an ideal solution to a Mighty Networks Alternative.

A Reasonably Priced or Free Platform :

There are very few tools that let you manage your online course or run your community for a reasonable price or for free with all the feature sets you to need.

Reasonable Prices :

Tribe.so, Podia, Kajabi

Free Tools :

Discord, Scenes

Simple and Intuitive User Experience :

What good is a community platform if your community members drop off because the platform is hard to grasp. That is the definition of being counter-productive. Moreover, in 2021 where most internet users are logging in from a mobile device, it becomes crucial that the platform is built mobile-first.

Alternatives :

High Community Engagement :

A platform that has all the right ingredients to drive engagement. I know that’s a vague way of putting it but to get into a little more detail, a platform that has seamless chat integrations where most conversations happen, forums, incentivization features to reward your most loyal community members, etc.

Alternatives :

Discord, Scenes

In-App Video Hosting :

A platform that lets you start a live event in one or two clicks at max; where you don’t have to pay for or integrate third-party tools.

Alternatives :

Discord, Scenes

If you look at the alternatives and do a quick tally, Scenes is the one app that solves all the problems that Mighty Networks users and admins encounter. Let’s take a quick comparison between these platforms in a more detailed way.

US will lift curbs on vaccinated foreign travellers on November 8

Indians among those to benefit

foreign travel | United States | Coronavirus Vaccine

David Shepardson | Reuters  |  Washington

Read the terms and conditions carefully when zeroing in on a travel plan.
The US had lagged many other countries in lifting such restrictions, and allies welcomed the move.

The White House on Friday announced it will lift travel restrictions for fully vaccinated foreign nationals effective November 8, at land borders and for air travel.

Curbs on non-essential travellers at land borders have been in place since March 2020 to address the Covid-19 pandemic.

The White House announced on September 20 that the would lift restrictions on air travelers from 33 countries in early November. It did not disclose the precise date at the time.

Starting November 8, the US will admit fully vaccinated foreign air travelers from the 26 so-called Schengen countries in Europe, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Greece, as well as Britain, Ireland, China, India, South Africa, Iran and Brazil.

Restrictions on non-US citizens were first imposed on air travellers from China in January 2020 by then-President Donald Trump and then extended to dozens of other countries, without any clear metrics for how and when to lift them.

The US had lagged many other countries in lifting such restrictions, and allies welcomed the move. The US restrictions have barred travellers from most of the world, including tens of thousands of foreign nationals with relatives or business links in the US.

The White House on Tuesday announced it would lift restrictions at its land borders and ferry crossings with Canada and Mexico for fully vaccinated foreign nationals in early November.

They are similar but not identical to requirements announced last month for international air travelers. Unvaccinated visitors will still be barred from entering the from Canada or Mexico at land borders.

UK eases rules for inoculated Indian flyers

Fully vaccinated travellers returning to England from countries not on the travel ban red list can take a Covid-19 negative Lateral Flow Test (LFT) instead of the more expensive Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test under new rules effective from October 24. Travellers vaccinated in over 100 countries and territories, including India, will also be treated the same as returning fully vaccinated UK residents, the government said. These eligible fully vaccinated passengers arriving in England can take an LFT on or before day two of their arrival from October 24, rather than PCR tests. (PTI)

Mandi by-election: Jairam Thakur to represent BJP

Press Trust of India  |  New Delhi

BJP today announced the name of former Himachal Pradesh minister Jairam Thakur for the upcoming Mandi Parliamentary bye-election.

BJP President Rajnath Singh approved the recommendations of party's HP election committee regarding the bye-election by clearing the name of Thakur.

Jairam Thakur was Cabinet minister in Prem Kumar Dhumal-led BJP ministry in Himachal Pradesh and held the rural development and panchayati raj portfolio. He represents Mandi in the Himachal Pradesh Assembly.

Thakur is currently legislator from Seraj Assembly segment of Mandi district. He had won his first election in 1998, and after that continued his winning spree.

The Mandi Parliamentary seat fell vacant after Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh resigned from the seat to contest the Assembly polls and brought the Congress back to power in the hill state.

Congress is now seeking to nominate Virbhadra Singh's wife Pratibha Singh for the Mandi seat. She has represented the seat earlier.

The Mandi bye-election will be held on June 23 and counting will take place on June 27.

The necessary notification for the bypoll will be issued on May 29. The last date of making nominations is June 5 and after scrutiny on June 6. The last date for withdrawals is June 8.

Not many football fans give much thought to Bruce Rioch these days.

Indeed, many would struggle to put a face to the name.

After all, he last kicked a ball in anger in 1984 and he has effectively been gone as a manager for two decades.

Since leaving Wigan in 2001, Rioch did have brief spells in charge of Odense and Aalborg in Denmark.

But, once he got the boot from Arsenal in 1996, his career was off-Broadway. Rioch last worked in football 13 years ago.

It's often the way with promising managers who get a shot at a big club.

If things don't work out, they struggle to get back up the ladder.

Rioch had taken Middlesbrough and Bolton to promotions, and the latter to a League Cup final.

When Arsenal moved for him in 1995, he was 47 years old and seen as a rising managerial star.

Bruce Rioch on the day he took charge of Arsenal
Bruce Rioch on the day he took charge of Arsenal

In his only season at the club, Rioch took the Gunners to fifth spot in the top flight, as well as a League Cup semi-final.

But he was sacked just before the start of the next season after a row over transfer funds.

Arsenal replaced him with a Frenchman that few had heard of - some chap called Arsene Wenger...

Rioch left a lasting legacy, though, as he'd signed Dennis Bergkamp just a couple of months earlier. Bergkamp would go on to cement his status as an Arsenal great and he was an integral part of the Wenger revolution.

Parallels and differences

There are parallels to be drawn between the careers of Rioch and David Moyes - key differences too.

Moyes was at a similar age when he got his shot at a big club. He's just turned 50 when he succeeded Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager in 2013.

Like Rioch, Moyes is a Scot and he'd built his reputation the hard way - defying the odds at both Preston North End and Everton.

Like Rioch, Moyes was given little time at a dream job, and was out the door after less than one season.

He didn't leave behind a Bergkamp, though. Moyes signed four players for United - Guillermo Varela, Marouane Fellaini, Saidy Janko and Juan Mata. None of them really thrived at Old Trafford.

Moyes didn't thrive there, and he didn't when he left, either.

At Sunderland, at Real Sociedad, at West Ham, he floundered.

When he was brought back by the Hammers, plenty were rolling their eyes. Surely this was a sign of desperation.

But, last season, Moyes brought West Ham to sixth spot in the Premier League. They only missed out on a Champions League spot by two points.

This season, they're flying in the Europa League and are fourth in the top flight.

Last weekend, they went to Leeds United and won 2-1. That's the kind of result that makes it clear Moyes has made a huge impact.

West Ham have always had notions - often pushing 'The Academy of Football' nonsense.

That was rooted in a past where they had stylish players like Bobby Moore and Jimmy Greaves.

But, within the game, people have always had a different view of the Hammers.

They see West Ham as a soft touch, easy to roll over, eminently beatable.

Moyes has changed that. Even though Leeds are struggling to match last season's form, Elland Road is still a tough place to go.

It's exactly the kind of trip that West Ham teams detested for years. Not this West Ham team.

They have the steel and the jagged edge to embrace these kind of challenges.

Moyes took a while to find himself again after his bruising experience at Old Trafford - but remember he is third on the all time list of winners of Premier League manager of the Month gongs.

And it's no wonder that United took its toll on him.

The Chosen One

In the summer of 2013, when the Premier League previews were being put together, nobody saw what was coming down the tracks.

Sure, with three of the biggest clubs - United, City and Chelsea - appointing new managers, there was a whiff of change in the air.

But what was most significant of all was Ferguson leaving the dug-out to sit with Mick Hucknall in the Old Trafford stands.

Without Ferguson, United's aura frittered away to nothing. Everton beat United home and away for the first time since 1970.

United lost to Stoke for the first time since 1984, lost at home to Newcastle for the first time since 1972, and to West Brom at home for the first time since 1978.

United had never lost to Swansea before, either - and Everton, City and Liverpool all beat the reigning champions home and away.

Moyes was the chosen one, but the man who chose him cast a long shadow. Moyes's six year contract was ripped up after less than 12 months.

Moyes has his very own midfield maestro

During United's most glorious era, Alex Ferguson leaned heavily on his midfield maestro, Roy Keane.

In Declan Rice, Moyes has a 21st century version of Keane.

Rice is the complete package. Like Keane, he can play at centre-half too and is a born warrior.

Rice always wants the ball, never hides, and has a great attitude and temperament.

He's not as rash as Keane, either, but has the same ruthlessness and desire.

Michael Antonio is very important to West Ham and he has been excellent for West Ham.

But Rice is the biggest reason on the pitch why they've done so well.

I think this will be his last season with the Hammers because all the top clubs will want to get him.

Declan Rice and David Moyes
Declan Rice and David Moyes

To me, Rice is already one of the best midfielders in the world - and he's only 22!

How good will he be when he gets to his peak - which is a long, long way away?

Many players who’ve worked under Moyes have spoken of his attention to detail, his ability to organise. But his most obvious quality is Moyes' palpable desire to succeed.

And it looked as if his torrid - and brief - experience as United manager had only served to motivate Moyes to prove himself all over again.

That has helped West Ham, helped Rice. They're lucky to have him.

By Zsarlene B. Chua, Joseph L. Garcia, and Michelle Anne P. Soliman

FAIR-SKINNED, brown-eyed, and dark-haired, Ai-Da speaks with an English accent. She wears a white long-sleeved blouse and black trousers. Since April, she has been studying her subjects and sketching them using her bionic arm in a company in Cornwall, England.

Estela Vadal stands against the wall of a bookshop in Maginhawa St., Quezon City. Her bright eyes recognize the face of the person who stands in front of her and she takes a photo. After a few seconds, she asks the person to wait. Like a Polaroid photo, a printed receipt is then produced with the person’s photo and a short Filipino poem below. “Naghihintay lamang ako sa pag-ibig, upang ibalik ang lahat ng iyong nalimutan,” read the first stanza.

Ai-Da and Estela are both robots.

Art is driven by emotion, and since man started to think and feel, they have long considered art to be the sole purview of man. While animals can think, and feel emotions, humans have far more ability to execute and express desires and fears resulting in work that cements who they are in time.

However, recent developments in human-driven technology have created art done through artificial intelligence.

Machines capable of artificial intelligence, those that retain and improve upon information they received, have shown that they can perform tasks above the mundane: practicing law and journalism, for example, at near-human speed and efficiency.

While automation has long been feared by several labor sectors because of the mathematical efficiency of robots that do jobs usually performed by humans, those in the creative fields have sat back, assured that their contributions to society can never be replaced by a computer.

Until now.

Edmond de Belamy, a portrait, was auctioned off in October 2018 at Christie’s for $432,000, a leap from its estimate of $7,000 to $10,000. Edmond de Belamy was created by Obvious, an art collective based in Paris, using Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). “It’s an artificial intelligence algorithm used to synthesize images,” said the members of Obvious in an e-mail to BusinessWorld.

Obvious is composed of “three childhood friends [who] wanted to do something creative together”: Hugo Caselles-Dupré, Pierre Fautrel, and Gauthier Vernier. “We [were] all fascinated by technology and Hugo had the chance to study artificial intelligence in college. He came across GANs and that sparkled the idea of using AI to do art. The collective is called Obvious because we want to democratize AI and explain it so that it becomes obvious what AI is at the moment,” they wrote in an e-mail.

In an article on Christie’s official website, Obvious member Mr. Caselles-Dupré outlined the process of creating Edmond: “The algorithm is composed of two parts. On one side is the Generator, on the other the Discriminator. We fed the system with a data set of 15,000 portraits painted between the 14th century and the 20th. The Generator makes a new image based on the set, then the Discriminator tries to spot the difference between a human-made image and one created by the Generator. The aim is to fool the Discriminator into thinking that the new images are real-life portraits. Then we have a result.”

GAN was invented by scientist Ian Goodfellow in 2014. “GANs have been used for creative purposes since their creation in 2014,” said the members of Obvious. For example, they have been used to synthesize the faces of models and humans for advertisements, and improving upon images used in astronomical research.

Ai-Da, who was named after a British mathematician and computer pioneer Ada Lovelace, is considered to be the “first humanoid robot artist.” Created by British inventor and gallery owner Aidan Meller, she is built with cameras in her eyes and AI algorithms which help coordinate her arm to create art.

Rather than replicate the art she sees, she interprets it and produces a different output despite studying the same subject.

“We do not quite know how the output is going to be when she does a drawing. We just felt that she needed to have a[n] expressive style,” Mr. Meller told CBC radio.

Inspired by technologist Ross Goodwin’s AI machine which prints English poetry, Filipino programmer and poet Marlon Hacla created Estela Vadal (whom he named after his mother), the “first robot that prints poetry in Filipino.”

The engine that Mr. Goodwin used, explained Mr. Hacla, was based on the character-level language model called char-RNN by Andrej Karpahty, director of the artificial intelligence department and autopilot vision of American automotive and energy company Tesla. “[The engine is where] you can basically prepare a text that the software can study and after the software has learned the text, it can learn the text on its own,” Mr. Hacla told BusinessWorld in an interview on June 8 in Katipunan, Quezon City.

Mr. Hacla used Ross Goodwin’s engine as a basis in the creation of Estela.

Ang gusto ko lang was to see a robot na kayang tumula (I only wanted to see a robot capable of writing poems). Ganoon lang ka-simple yung motive (That’s how simple my motive was),” Mr. Hacla said about his motivation to create Estela. The robot evolved from a Twitter-bot that generated poetry that he made in 2017. “We’re in the age now [where] we have the technology to teach a machine to create poetry,” he said.

“I was interested [in getting] people to read the poetry,” he said. To encourage people to try the robot, Mr. Hacla added the camera feature.

The robot was completed in 2018 and was first exhibited at Roel’s Bookshop in Quezon City.

Andrew Conru, founder of the annual robotic competition Robot Art Competition Exhibition, said that artistic creations are diverse. “Every generation tries to come up with a new genre, a new style, a new category of art. I don’t see robot art as any different than yet another way for people to express themselves,” Mr. Conru said in an interview with Creators, a sub-domain of Canadian digital media company Vice Media.

Mr. Conru is an internet entrepreneur behind the first online dating site WebPersonals and Adult FriendFinder.

“The camera didn’t invalidate the portrait artist, as the portrait artist was often trying to capture a deeper emotion [rather than] a perfect copy of the sitter,” Mr. Conru writes on the competition’s webpage. “However, the camera opened up a whole new form of art — photography. Likewise, human-generated art will always be highly respected not only for its creativity, but… our shared human experience.”

“It’s a new type of art, which is really exciting. Think of it as the new camera: it gives the artist so much more ways to express himself,” the members of Obvious said of the new medium of artificial intelligence.

The new technology as incorporated in art has been a recent success. However, limitations remain and improvements are yet to be done.

“It’s very hard to make them work, it’s unstable, we don’t fully understand why it works… There a ton of room for improvement here and that’s what researchers are tackling,” wrote the members of Obvious.

According to Dave King, founder of creative AI company Move 37, creativity is not a God-given thing. It’s a process, and it takes practice. “Art is one of the last domains in AI where there is an optimistic view on how humans and machines can work together,” said Mr. King.

But then one comes up against the question: Should AI-generated artworks be considered art since these were not created by humans?

For art collective Obvious, it is considered art. “It is still art since the intention comes from a human.”

Richie Lerma, Salcedo Auctions director and former curator of the Ateneo Art Gallery, agrees. “The technologies behind AI are still created by human minds, and so it would stand to reason that they can still be considered to be human creations,” he told BusinessWorld in an e-mail.

On the other hand, Mr. Hacla said it remains a complicated situation. “I designed how she (Estela) learned and generates text. I would like to take credit since I designed the text she studied and how she generates it. I could claim na ’yung poems na gine-generate niya (that the poems she generates) are actually my poems. But that is not the case,” he said, adding that intellectual property in this case remains a debatable subject.

“That’s what is interesting. Who now owns Estela Vadal poems?,” he asked. “Akin ba siya? Kasi parang hindi. Akin yung robot. Pero hindi ko alam kung pwede ko bang i-claim na akin rin yung poems niya (Are they mine? I don’t think so. The robot is mine. But I do not know if I can claim ownership of its poems),” he said.

In the international scene, artist collective Obvious and Aidan Meller are not alone is exploring the world of AI-generated art.

The third Robot Art Competition and Exhibition received 100 submissions last year. The 2018 winner was Pindar Van Arman with three paintings: two AI-generated portraits “made with varying degrees of abstraction” (according to Van Arman’s website, and a rendition of Paul Cezanne’sHouses at the L’Estaque.

Mr. Van Arman said in his blog, “For each of the past three years, internet entrepreneur Andrew Conru has sponsored a $100,000 international competition to build artistic robots called His challenge was to create beautiful paintings with machines and the only steadfast rule was that the robot had to use a brush… no inkjet printers allowed.”

Even before the opening of Ai-Da’s first solo exhibition at St. John’s College in Oxford, England on June 12, her works on view — 20 paintings (actually canvases which are printed with her work then painted over by a human), two videos, and four sculptures — had already been sold for over $1.2 million.

According to her creator, Mr. Meller, the emergence of AI is an opportunity to experiment on its positive and negative effects.

“We’re doing it because we’re actually very, very concerned about the use and abuse of AI, Mr. Meller told CBC radio.

He added that there are future plans to make Ai-Da to paint and create pottery.

Meanwhile, Obvious noted that the scenario of AI superceding humans is yet unforeseen.

“It’s impossible to forecast such a thing. The best we can say is that for now AI Art is much more human than people tend to believe,” the members of Obvious wrote.

“What we can notice is that humans are very afraid of machines ever replacing them one day. Maybe this fear is what will prevent such a thing from happening,” they added.

As for the local art scene, more creations of AI-generated art are yet to be seen by the public.

“I would like these artworks to first be shown at galleries, whose task it is to develop and expand audiences,” Mr. Lerma wrote in an e-mail. “As an auction house, we deal primarily with the secondary market, and would thus gauge marketability on the local market’s response to AI-generated art.”

Estela Vadal has been exhibited in various art and literature festivals such as the 2019 Performatura at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the Philippine International Literature Festival (PILF) hosted by the National Book Development Board (NBDB), and the Manila Mini Maker Faire at the Mind Museum. According to Mr. Hacla, negotiations are ongoing with the Quezon City Department of Education (DepEd) for the robot poet to tour public schools in the future.

“[The presence of artificial intelligence] is now happening in the international scene. However, the way people are responding to it, they are not prepared. They do not know how they will respond to these kinds of artworks since it is something new. We are still trying to figure out how people are going to respond to it,” Mr. Hacla said.

As an example, Mr. Hacla said that he once invited students to try the robot while it was on exhibit at the bookshop. “I observed that the kids were only interested in getting their photo taken. But somehow, the kids went home with poetry even if they usually do not read poems. I did not realize na napabasa ko ng tula yung mga bata (I got the kids to read poetry),” he said.

“There are dynamics that you will only know when you show the artwork to the people. We can only try to present it to them and see how they will respond,” Mr. Hacla said.

As for how AI will affect the future of local art scene, Mr. Lerma remarked, “That remains to be seen.”

A JOURNALIST critical of the government of President Rodrigo R. Duterte on Wednesday pleaded “not guilty” of tax fraud.

Maria Ressa, chief executive of news website Rappler, Inc. was arraigned at a Pasig trial court for one of her five tax-related charges.

She was accused of failing to supply correct information over deficiency value-added tax for the second quarter of 2015 worth almost P300,000.

The charge sheet had been amended to include the company Rappler, Ms. Ressa said in a social media post. Ms. Ressa, a former CNN investigative reporter, also faces three tax evasion charges at the Court of Tax Appeals.

She and former Rappler researcher Reynaldo Santos, Jr. were convicted of cyber-libel by a Manila judge last month.

They were sentenced to an indeterminate imprisonment of six months to six years and were ordered to pay P400,000 in moral and exemplary damages to the businessman who sued them. They

have appealed their conviction. — Vann Marlo M. Villegas
