Rillera took over the 6th ID’s leadership from the now WestMinCom chief Lt. Gen. Roy Galido in a turnover rite here Friday, January 27, officiated by Philippine Army chief Lt. Gen. Romeo Brawner, Jr.

Galido was commander of the 6th ID from August 2022 until he took over WestMinCom’s highest post also last week.

Rillera told reporters he will sustain the peacebuilding projects of his predecessors, particularly in securing the surrender and reintroduction into mainstream society of New People’s Army guerillas and members of local terrorists groups inspired by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

“I’m confident the new division commander, Gen. Rillera, will do better than us, who led the 6th ID before him,” Galido said after the turnover of command.

Galido and Rillera had separately assured of their support, as 6th ID and WestMinCom commander, respectively, to the peace programs of the Bangsamoro government and Malacañang that aim to put diplomatic closure to the “Moro issue” hounding Mindanao since the 1970s.

Ali said the Red Orchid Award is an award system developed by the DOH to encourage the LGUs, government offices and hospitals to ensure a 100 percent TobaccoFree Environment.

In her acceptance speech, Jail Superintendent Faridah Ali, a medical doctor, said the government’s anti-smoking campaign are not only keeping safe civil servants and the people around hospitals and government offices but “our respective families, too.”

“This program (Red Orchid Awards) is really very helpful, we were made instruments to help save others from killer diseases due to smoking,” said JSupt. Ali, also the BJMP-BARMM assistant regional director. EOF government officials in central Mindanao had, since 2017, secured the surrender in batches of more than 400 members of the outlawed Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters and its allies, the Dawlah Islamiya and the Al-Khobar.

No fewer than 200 NPAs had also returned to the fold of law, through the intercession of the 6th ID and local executives, in the past 14 months. JFU

Soldiers inside Lanao BIAF camps not disarmed, says MILF

THE Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has clarified that it did not disarmed 39 Army Special Forces (SF) who accidentally entered an MILF camp in Lanao del Sur Tuesday.

Butch Malang, chair of the MILF coordinating committee on the cessation of hostilities, stressed that the MILF forces under the Bangamoro Islamic Armed Forces (BIAF) 103rd base command in Barangay Dilimbayan, Maguing, Lanao del Sur “only requested the

Army to set aside their guns| while a dialogue was on going.

“The MILF referred the matter to the GPH-MILF ceasefire panel and the issue of uncoordinated entry of SF to MILF areas was settled,” Butch Malang told the Philippine News Agency in a phone interview.

“It appeared the soldiers were unaware they were already within the MILF camp in Maguing, the MILF politely requested them to lay down their guns assuring them they will not be harmed and the soldiers agreed,” Malang added.

Malang said the 39-man Special Forces were allowed to leave the MILF camp Wednesday afternoon “with the government forces shaking hands with MILF fighters like brothers.”

An Army official said the SFs are part of the Army units hunting down terrorist groups and remnants of Dawlah Islamiya in Lanao del Sur.

Performance Task Strategy on Memorized Speech

By LOURDES T. SOLANO, Teacher III-English Datu Siang National High School

Nothing else but listening and watching to the speaker, that’s what learners expect from an hour of class during performance task on memorized speech. Having already known every word the speaker would say, the whole hour may sound boring for the students. Traditionally, the teacher watches and records using rubric for scoring while the rest are busy practicing for their turn. The success of the class, no matter what the topic or activity, depends on the strategy the teacher applies.

The challenge is how to make the class meaningful. How will the teacher make this activity attention-getter, self-motivating, collaborative and fun. Here is the technique want to share that might interest you.

1. The teacher will present the rubric.

2. The students will rate the speaker. The rating sheet will also serve as the second task of the day. This promotes meaningful silence and determination to pay attention. Furthermore, self- driven to give their best as they serve as judges too.

3. The teacher will ask students to reveal their scores for the speaker; then teacher reveals hers. Students feels happy of confirmation on their ability to score. The scoring becomes fair and transparent.

4. The teacher must observe positive comments only, and must sustain the level of energy like the emcee in an event who is empowered to hold the mood all the way.

Old but Gold

By Desiree S. Romo, MAELT

This year marks the “Golden Year” of Kimpo Elementary School (KES). Gold, a precious metal, a valuable element associated with grandeur, prosperity and wealth and its color symbolizes the same. This year has been the most opulent and prosperous one so far, true to its definition and to the priceless ideal it stands for.

A small school situated where diverse culture of different people from different walks of life meet and share the same values for education. The school’s simplest facade and the small lay-out structure fascinates the eyes of many for its lively and welcoming ambiance.

Kimpo has been a developing institution since its founding in 1973. Its name reverberates not only among the district’s neighboring schools but also throughout the entire region, demonstrating its value as a competitive institution and bringing honor to its name.

“We are not old but gold” is a powerful message that emphasizes the idea that age should not be a barrier to achieving greatness. Our humble institution can inspire pupils to reach their full potential and overcome any obstacles that may stand in their way.

A legacy lasting 50 years is remarkable. A celebration of the past that also helps us look forward to better days. A chance to pause and consider one’s accomplishments in the past as well as one’s preparations for the challenges that lie ahead.

The greatest gifts of this school have been the brilliant and talented young minds, dedication and commitment of the teaching staff, and unwavering support of internal and external stakeholders.

In the next 50 years, we will continue to produce capable leaders and professionals. We’ll keep leaving our mark and upholding the principles and ideals that the school instilled in us. We’ll keep succeeding and proving to the rest of the world that we’re the global standard in education.

one confirmed patient, six in Lake Sebu and four in Tantangan.

Aturdido said explained that HFMD is a viral infection that affects foot soles, palms, mouth, and skin and exhibited by vesicular eruptions.

He added it is caused by a group of viruses called Enteroviruses, most commonly Coxasackie Al6 and Enterovirus A71.

“Vesicles from HFMD are oval in shape, unlike those from in measles and chicken pox which are round. This is highly contagious, especially among children,” he added. Described as highly contagious almost similar to the dreaded COVID-19 virus.

Aturdido said the viruses can be passed on from person to person by coming into contact with poop, saliva, phlegm, or the fluid inside the rashes of sick patients, most commonly through dirty hands and contaminated surfaces.

Calls for the declaration of state of calamity in town mounted as more cases were reported. Putting the town under calamity will allow the local government to use its calamity fund for HFMD patients.

Sinarimbo said Shiek Khalifa was one of the pioneers, together with some students in Cairo, Egypt of “modern day Bangsamoro resistance against oppression and injustices.

He said Shiekh Khalifa led some of the most epic efforts in strengthening the Bangsamoro resistance movement and a constant source of wisdom and advice in the transition to peace and governance of the MILF.

The Wali, Sinarimbo said, had been very active “even during these past few months in carrying out his role as symbolic head of the Bangsamoro Government and in visiting Bangsamoro communities in the islands and even in northern Luzon.”

“To date, we intensify our disinfection activities in schools in areas with high cases of HFMD,” Franco said in a radio interview.

Chief Minister Balawag Ebrahim said: “His demise is a great loss to the Bangsamoro government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Sheikh Nando is one of the founders of the Moro Fronts and has devoted his life to championing the Bangsamoro struggle since the 1960s.”

“As a forerunner in the armed struggle and a brother in the Islamic faith, we mourn the passing of Sheikh Nando, who is a true Mujahideen. He left a void that is impossible to fill. As we weep for the passing of the Wālī, we find comfort and refuge in the fact that Sheikh Nando is with our departed comrades now in the hands of the Almighty Allah,” Ebrahim added.

The young Khalifa

Sheikh Khalifa co-founded the MILF with the late Founding Chair Salamat Hashim and the current Bangsamoro Mufti Abu Hurayra Udasan.

He was one of the students in Madrasah Al-Rasheedah at Pandag (then a village of Buluan), Maguindanao del Sur. In this town, he learned to read the Qur’an, Arabic language, and other subjects such as the Aqeedah (Islamic Ideology), and Fiq’h (Islamic Jurisprudence), among others from Sheikh Omar Bajunaid of Hadhramaut, Yemen.

AT 17, Nando was one of the early Moro students sent for a 2nd Batch on a diplomatic scholarship program to Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt in 1, where he met his senior, Salamat Hashim, along with other forerunners and pillars of the Moro Fronts such as Ibrahim Abdulrahman alias “Abukhalil Yahya” and Sheikh Omar Pasigan.

In a book published by Salah Jubair (2014), entitled Bangsamoro: A Nation Under Endless Tyranny, it was noted that Sheikh Nando, along with Hashim, Yahya, and Ismael Guiamel a.k.a. “Castro”, organized the Philippine Students’ Union (PSU) in Cairo, Egypt in 1962.

They were the figures who brought the then-pressing issue of injustices committed against their people in the Bangsamoro homeland into the international forum.

While the struggle for self-determination in Mindanao, Shiekh Khalifa and his peers worked with different political linkages in Sabah, and other Moro students and leaders, which include the Moro combatants and trainers known as the “Top 300.” (with reports from BIO-BARMM)
