PCL backs Pres. Duterte’s war vs corruption, crime

By Alexander Lopez

DAVAO CIT Y -- The 16,500-strong members of Philippine Councilors’ League (PCL) from 1,400 towns and cities in the country have signified support to the continuing campaign of the Duterte administration against corruption, crime and violence.

Davao City Councilor Danilo Dayanghirang told reporters here on Monday during the Kapehan sa Dabaw that the PCL approved a resolution last week supporting the priorities and advocacies of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Dayanghirang, who is the newly-elected PCL chairman of the board, said the league also passed a resolution supporting federalism, a form of government that the President has been advocating for years.

“PCL’s support is vital in order to gain achievements in the programs and projects of the present administration,” Dayanghirang said.

PCL, he added, is “a big group that can influence political decisions of the national leadership and at the same time, can do changes through legislations.”

He said the “PCL can also advocate and gather support to major programs and projects of the government.”

“PCL will rally behind President Duterte, his administration and its priority programs and projects,” Dayanghirang reiterated.

The newly-elected officers of PCL took their oath of office before Duterte on April 1 in Pasig City.

Envi Groups push for Mt. Apo’s continued closure DAVAO CITY April 3 (PIA)Environmental groups are pushing for the continued closure of Mt. Apo to allow the total rehabilitation of the mountain.

A huge fire broke out in March last year, which devastated hundreds of hectares near its peak. The fire reportedly caused by an unattended forest fire

caused the closure of the mountain.

However the Protected Areas Management Board (PAMB) citing the clamor of indigenous community in the area has reopened the mountain to climbers with a P2,000 trekking fee for climbers.

Mylai Santos executive director of Ecoteneo (an

environmental group based in Ateneo de Davao) said the closure must be sustained to allow the mountain to recover from the fire.

Santos who went to the fire shortly after the fire said a huge part of the mountain was totally scorched. The participants to the third volunteer climb reported that burnt area is starting

to regreen.

She said that climbing must not be for tourism purposes but for replanting and adoption of burnt areas. Santos said that the indigenous community must be part of the rehabilitation efforts like supplying the seedlings and maintaining the replanted areas where they are paid for their ef-

forts.

Santos said that the rehabilitation of Mt. Apo needs three to five years.

Various environmental groups and concerned citizens slammed the reopening of the country’s tallest mountain stating the Mt. Apo’s recovery is the foremost priority. (PIA/ RG Alama)

Your goodness to others is God’s basis for judging you The Gospel of Jesus Christ (April 04, 2017-Tuesday)Luke 16:19-3”In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried out and said, `Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.’ “But Abraham said, `Child, remember that during

your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. `And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us: The rich man was put in hell not because he did wrong to Lazarus but because he had done

You chose to do nothing because you don’t want to be involved and bothered, but this is a big sin in the eyes of God. You are accountable for the progress and development of others. You are born to do something amazing to others. Do not

keep yourself away from the reality that you will not be saved if you are just alone. Your goodness to others is God’s basis for judging you at the end.

You need to grab the opportunity that there is somebody who needs your presence. The rich man did not know that he was accountable to anyone like Lazarus. He was insensitive to the situations of others around him because his wealth became the wall between

8 injured in Tacurong City explosion

TACURONG CITY -- Eight persons were wounded in an explosion here Monday morning perpetrated by a man now being hunted by authorities, police said.

Senior Supt. Raul Supiter, Sultan Kudarat police director, said the improvised explosive device (IED) was thrown by the suspect beside a fried banana vendor, not far from the Valdez Mother and Child Hospital and Sultan Kudarat Electric Cooperative (SUKELCO) main office at around 8:30 a.m.

“It was an improvised bomb that will explode when lobbed,” Supiter said.

Police and bomb experts

found cut nails and metal fragments in the blast site along the busy national highway in front of a private university.

The injured include the woman banana vendor and seven workers of SUKELCO, who were to attend a forum in an open space fronting the electric cooperative office.

The motive of the attack remained unknown but the Tacurong City police are following up a lead that could eventually arrest the perpetrators, said Supt. Romeo Galgo Jr, spokesperson of the Police Regional Office 12.

Supiter said that after

the blast, the suspect fled on foot towards a waiting motorcycle driven by an accomplice.

Galgo said Janice Alacdo, 34, the banana vendor and resident of Barangay New Carmen this city, was seriously injured since the IED landed near her roadside stall.

The cooperative’s employees sustained minor injures and are now out of danger.

The police in Sultan Kudarat have been placed on heightened alert following the bomb attack, the seventh in Region 12 or Soccsksargen region since Tuesday last week. (PNA)

Mawab kicks off illegal drug intervention program Byb Michael Uy of PIA-11

NABUNTURAN, Compostela Valley -- Some 50 illegal drug personalities took oath of undertaking yesterday, March 28, at the municipal gymnasium as the municipal government of Mawab started the activities of the Oplan Liwanag program.

According to the program’s coordinator Mario Angelo Sotto, Oplan Liwanag is a province-wide commu-

NDF indicts PNoy, North Cot officials on Kidapawan dispersal; Duterte says ‘that’s for the courts to decide’ DAVAO CITY -- The National Democratic Front in Southern Mindanao indicted former President Benigno S. Aquino III, North Cotabato Gov. Emmylou TaliñoMendoza, Kidapawan City mayor Joseph Evangelista, North Cotabato Representative Nancy Catamco, among others, for “war crimes, crimes against humanity,” and other serious human rights violations over the violent dispersal of 6,000 farmers in Kidapawan on April 1, 2016.

In a statement issued on the first anniversary of the tragedy last Saturday, the NDFP said it found a compelling evidence to indict the respondents for ”gross neglect and apathy and willful acts and/of omissions” and held them criminally liable for gross negligence, and failed to act promptly, if at all, ease the suffering and ameliorate the livelihood of the people.

MindaNews sought Mendoza, Evangelista and Catamco for reactions. Evangelista said, “no comment for now.”

Mendoza and Catamco had not sent their reply as of 8 p.m.

In Cagayan de Oro City, President Rodrigo Duterte said, “that is for the courts to decide,” when a reporter

asked him to comment on the NDF’s indictment of Aquino and the North Cotabato officials.

“There could be but it’s a..

I really do not know but at the end of the day kung ako man, akin talaga yan” (if it’s me, I’ll take responsibility), he said.

He said he is ready to be jailed and “kung ihabol ninyo si Aquino, okay lang” (if you let Aquino follow, that’s okay), The NDFP said the respondents also violated the fundamental rights of civilians guaranteed in international tenets, covenants and instruments such as the government (GRP)-NDFP 1998 Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law, the 1996 International Covenant on Civil Political Rights, the 1966 International Convention on Economics, Social and Cultural Rights, and the Geneva Conventions of 1949.

“The indictment described the inutility of the reactionary national and provincial government over the widespread damage caused by the severe drought to the lives and livelihood of the Lumad and farmers,” it said.

“It, likewise, underscored

that in the face of such devastation, the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) with the consent of the provincial reactionary officials continued to unleash fascist abuse in the countryside, especially in arming and mobilizing the paramilitary Bagani in North Cotabato.”

On April 1 last year, some 6,000 farmers from several parts of North Cotabato, Kitaotao in Bukidnon, and Sultan Kudarat province blocked the national highway in Kidapawan to ask for the release of 15,000 sacks of rice as food assistance due to the drought.

But the protest later turned into a violent dispersal that killed two – farmer Darwini Sulang from Arakan town and Enrico Fabiligar from Kidapawan City who was passing by at the time of the incident - and 34 others seriously injured, including 22 people who sustained gunshot wounds.

Citing as grounds for indictment, the NDFP said authorities willfully shot at the protesting farmers that resulted in “multiple violent deaths and serious injuries, the incarceration and the maltreatment of civilians were all deliberate acts of aggression against defenseless civilians and

vulnerable sections of the civilian population long considered under the IHL as protected persons.”

It also added that the “premeditated and arbitrary use of superior and overwhelming armed force and military might against defenseless civilians constitute a most severe crime of mass murder – what ensured was a massacre in broad daylight on a national highway ordered by state officials and implemented by state forces, without compunction or fear of accountability and with extreme prejudice.”

The NDFP added that the “naked terror persisted after the barricade was fully destroyed and the civilians were subjected to more contemptible attacks.”

It added that the indictment recounted the illegal arrest and detention of the civilians who were also physically assaulted by the fully-armed Philippines National Police (PNP) and Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) personnel.

“It also showed how the respondents connived to conceal the facts regarding the cause of death of the civilians in order to shrouad their culpability,” NDF said.

nity-based transformative intervention program for the voluntary surrenderers for reformation (VSRs).

Sotto said that under the Oplan Liwanag, the VSRs will undergo two months of rehabilitation and reformation activities for the VSRs, which includes a three-day spiritual encounter and session with the surrenderers’ families.

One of the highlights of the program is the testimony of Nabunturan Councilor, Mark Tristan Humol, who was nabbed September last year by the authorities in a raid in a drug den.

Humol appreciated the efforts and the courage of

the VSRs to undergo the said program for their family and the community as a whole.

He urged them to throw away their illegal drug apparatus to prevent them from being tempted again to be victims of the illegal drugs.

Meanwhile, Mayor Ruperto Gonzaga III guarantees the VSRs that they will land a job if they will graduate in the program.

He said that those who have skills in driving and proficient in computers will have jobs in the municipal government, while others can improve their skills and get NCII certificates through the program. (PIA11, Michael Uy)

Thus, 21st century learning advances new process of learning, new types of learners, and of course, new spaces and dimensions of learning.

Thus, as public school teachers, as facilitators of teaching and learning, teachers should guide, instigate and motivate learners to learn.

And, we should always remember that, we are a facilitator and not the sole source of learning that uses appropriate instructional strategies and creates positive learning environment.

Above all, my salute to all fellow 21st century teachers!

Let us keep up the good work!

Facilitating 21st Century Learning

The 21st century education clarifies that the world of teachers and learners is expected to continue to change dramatically where a paradigm shift in the way of teaching and learning is delivered duly emphasizing the attributes of the 21st century education of integrated and interdisciplinary, technologies and multimedia, global classrooms, creating/ adapting to constant personal and social change and lifelong learning, student-centered, 21st century skills, projectbased and research-driven, and relevant, rigorous and real world.

That is why with this change, public school teachers should fit the 21st century learners and should strategize new parameters for teaching and learning. These basically includes, new environment of learning wherein it is innovative and modern ways of teaching and learning using technology as a teaching tool.

Moreover, it has new content of learning wherein in the 21st century learning, it is, learner-centered, it focuses on intellectual abilities, it is demand-driven, it enables cooperative learning, it focuses on the acquisition of learning tools, it is balance, and it balances on general versus vocational components.

and it does not even cost a penny or a peso to do so; thus, we should never hesitate to do so.

Aside from it brings the positive vibes, it also fosters team teaching and collaborative learning for the good and welfare of our learners. If teachers establish good relationship with each other, then team teaching and even sharing of good teaching strategies and learning materials can be a two-way process. Sharing of ideas and life experiences can be rewarding and fulfilling.

On the other hand, as public school teachers, we

should not forget that this is a learner-centered public institution, therefore, it is always first the priority of the learners, and for the learners, we should set aside personal issues and concerns among fellow teachers or fellow personnel for the common good of the learners.

It should be on top of the list all the time.
