Duterte says Sen. Pangilinan law gave rise to criminality By ALEXANDER LOPEZ

Thursday

DavNor dads ‘tight lip’ on Floreindo-Alvarez rift

President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday blamed Senator Francis Pangilinan for hurrying the passage of the Juvenile Justice Welfare Act which he said caused the rise of criminality in the Philippines. “The reason why there is so much criminality… nobody respects the law anymore. It’s because of that Pangilinan law,” Duterte said during the investiture ceremony of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines in Malacañang. He said that because of the Pangilinan law, young adults aged 15 and below who commit crimes such as murder and rape can simply be returned to their parents without any accountability. “The problem with Pangilinan, he was too (much) in a hurry, pinalusot niya ‘yon kaya we produced about -- 15 years ago ‘yon -- we produced about five, six generations of people who committed crimes and released on the same day irrespective of Silence on Floirendo-Alcarez rift runs unimpeded in the august hall of DavNor SP during the regular See law, page A7

The Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Davao Del Norte chose to keep the lid on the simmering rift between the two of their representatives during the regular session here last Monday afternoon. It is no more hush-hush talks on the conflict between first district Cong. Pantaleon Alvarez and second district Cong. Tonyboy Floirendo as it has been prominently lapped up as national news in both mainstream and social media news as developing stories. But the SP session proceeded and ended without a single word on the conflict. During the session’s privilege hour, no one from the 11 attending board members stood, at least, to call for ceasefire.

DAVAO CITY -- The government will open four drug rehabilitation centers in Mindanao in the last quarter of 2017, Health Secretary Paulyn Jean Ubial said Tuesday. Ubial told a press conference at the Royal Mandaya Hotel here that the centers are located in Calinan District in Davao City, Malaybalay City in Bukidnon, Sarangani and Agusan del Sur. Each center has a capacity of 250 to 350 beds and will be built with support from the Chinese government and the private sector, she said. She said the center in Bukidnon will be funded by a Chinese businessman. The one in Davao will get support from the state-run

Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. and Resorts World Manila, and those in Sarangani and Agusan del Sur rehab centers from the Chinese government. She said the country has a total of 30 state-run and 14 private rehabilitation centers. “The private are really very small – less than 1,000 beds,” she said. Ubial said they will employ a six-month community-based rehabilitation program that must be implemented by the cities and municipalities. Barangay health workers and officials will assist the “mild” and “moderate” drug users to help them quit using illegal drugs. She said the Department of Health (DOH) has some P3 billion budget for drug See rehab, page A7

BIR intensifies tax drive, targets Mayor Sara defends choice of city’s top cop PHP1.1T from large taxpayers DAVAO CITY-- The Large Taxpayer Division (LTD) of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) is going all-out in its tax campaign to meet its 2017 target collection of PHP1.1 trillion from large taxpayers. This as the LTD opened its new office in Cabaguio, Davao City on Monday spearheaded by BIR Commissioner Caesar Dulay and Finance Undersecretary Antonette Tionko. LTD –Davao bureau chief Avia Globasa said

the opening of the LTD office would serve large taxpayers who have been contributing more than 60 percent of the BIR’s tax collection. Globasa said that large taxpayers contributed 62.44 per cent of BIR’s overall collection target in 2016, which is PHP2 trillion. “In 2016, we had a 62.44 per cent or PHP924 billion contribution to the bureau’s collection and for this year, we hope to contribute 65 percent to the target col-

lection,” Globasa said. Initially, LTD–Davao already enlisted 219 large taxpayers in Mindanao area. Globasa said the list is just a starter for the opening of the Davao office, which is the sixth LTD office in the country with one in Cebu City and five at the National Capital Region. Under BIR Revenue Regulation No. 17-2010 issued on December 14, 2010, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue (CIR) is authorized to prescribe

the place for payment of internal revenue taxes by large taxpayers and prescribing the coverage and criteria for determining large taxpayers. Large taxpayers include corporations with an authorized capitalization of at least PHP300 million, multi-national enterprises with an authorized capitalization or assigned capital of at least PHP300 million, and universal, commercial and foreign banks, among others.

DAVAO CITY -- Mayor Sara Duterte defended Police Senior Superintendent Alexandar Camilon Tagum as the Davao City police director who assumed the post yesterday April 3. Tagum was known as the provincial police director of North Cotabato during the violent dispersal of farmer rallyists in Kidapawan City last year which resulted in the deaths of 2 demonstrators. In an interview with media to day (April 4) Duterte said she carefully vetted the incoming police

chief. “I really thought about it.” The Mayor said. Duterte bared that she looked into the track record of Tagum, including the event which transpired in Kidapawan. “I’m sure he learned a lot from that experience and that situation so that if a similar event will happen here in Davao City, he will know what to do.” The City Mayor said. She said that the police would still practice maximum tolerance to rallies and protests in the city. See defends, page A7

TESDA’s BKKK Program successful - Mamondiong Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Director General, Secretary Guling “Gene” Mamondiong has cited the success of the agency’s Barangay Kasanayan para sa Kabuhayan at Kapayapaan (BKKK) program which offers free skills training in remote areas. Mamondiong said that the BKKK program is instrumental in uplifting the livelihood of the people through free skills training and would eventually help them in their employment. The TESDA chief said that the agency has sought the assistance of local government units and even the

barangays in continuously promoting the program to far-flung areas. “The program is anchored on President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s agenda of inclusive growth, where every “Juan” must be taken care of in whatever aspect of government services to help them alleviate their living conditions. On TESDA’s

part as government agency, basically, the skills training and development programs will be enhanced to serve the people even in the remotest areas of the country,” Mamondiong said. The TESDA chief traced the success of the BKKK program through the cooperation of barangays nationwide, particularly the

By SHIELA S. GOSANES Teacher – Applicant Division of Cagayan de Oro City

It might sound as a cliche, but it is embedded in the mind of people, especially to us Filipinos, the value of having an education. That is why most Filipino parents go heaven

and earth just to send their children to school. For one, attaining education is a passport in going through real life, the life one has to face after school. Hunting for a job is commonly the beginning of this called “real life “. Looking for a job is unde-

niably tough, knowing that there are several people who badly want to be accepted too. B eing educated will make a person understand critical situations, provide wise answers and achieve smart decisions. These skills are necessary during appli-

cation, In order to convince and gain the approval of company employers. Having education is preparing oneself to bigger challenges in life. This is a form of equipping tools to win all these challenges in the future. Education is the passport for better future.

Do You Teach? Or Do You Educate? By Pearl Angelie F. Cabasan (Teacher Applicant)

As a teacher, it is a necessity to teach, at the same time, to educate. Teaching is simply giving information about things; to make someone learn about anything - while, educating is teaching by means of inculcating values and principles that a person will carry out through his entire life. Teachers impart knowledge to the students. They

are the ones who help us learn our abc’s and 123’s, aside from our parents. Teachers are there to guide us as we learn about a lot of things in school and are considered as our second parents. They give us useful information not only about the things we need to learn, but also about the things that we “have” to learn. And by that, I meant

about the good attitude and behaviour, and manners, as well. They teach us not only the lessons from books and other sources, but also lessons about life. An educator educates – inspires us in everything we do. They could be our parents, our siblings, our teachers or the people around us. They are the ones who help us socially, emotionally and spiritually so that we develop a healthy well-being.

They are experienced enough to give us lessons that we should learn about life. According to Socrates, “Intelligence plus character is the goal of a true educator.” It simply means, a true educator aims to impart knowledge and teach good character to students, which helps them to prepare for the future. At the end of the day, as a teacher, do you teach? Or do you educate?

ICT integration in classroom teaching: a continuing struggle By LOVELLA L. MAGRINA School ICT Coordinator West City Central School

The demands of quality education are increasing and so are the kinds of instructional materials that are often associated with quality education. Nowadays, it is common for a teacher to say that she is computer literate, meaning that she is able to use the computer and its applications according to a set of standards. What that might mean is that the teacher is able to turn on

the computer, open to MS Word and write paragraphs to make monthly reports and the like. However, upon closer scrutiny, that might practically be the only thing that many teachers know and represents the extent of what computer literacy means for them. In a time when the K ti2 program of the Department of Education is gaining ground and taking root in the country’s system of education so are its expectations of teachers’ level of knowl-

edge and skills in terms of Information and Communication Technology otherwise known as ICT. Many teachers in the field, however, fall short of this expectation as they remain traditional in skills and materials when it comes to their classroom teaching. Teachers continue using the so-called “bitaymax” or visual aids written or glued on manila paper or cartolina. This long-held practice continue to be popular among teachers because it is what they are

used to and most comfortable with, despite calls for the importance of using the computer and computer applications in teaching. This poses a challenge not only for the Department of Education but for the teachers themselves, that they need to embrace the changes of time and the needs of their pupils. The children now are born in the age of technology and if they must learn best, efforts must be made, especially among teachers, to integrate ICT in teaching them.

CONTEMPLATING ON SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

By Jocelyn D. Eng, T- III Upper Carmen Elem. School

Every day we live our lives going on our daily routine making us very busy leaving trails behind. We tend to overlook these trails which will inevitably cause a problem in the future. These trails that we talk about are called waste. Solid wastes are the discarded leftovers of our advanced consumer society. This growing mountain of garbage and trash represents not only an attitude of indifference toward valuable natural resources, but also a serious economic and public health problemJimmy Carter In the Philippines, dealing with solid wastes and solid wastes management itself is a challenge. Many issues rouse in connection with solid waste such as flash floods, degradation of animal habitat, water contamination and etc. How did this happen? Do you remember those days when we just secretly dropped the candy wrapper along the streets? When after we drank the water from the

bottle , throw it away to the sewers and creeks? When we were so lazy to segregate our garbage from bio to non – biodegradable? Yes, everybody is to be blamed without exemptions. All of us are liable to the death of the flood victims, extinction of animal species, and contamination of drinking water which resulted to a number of people suffering from diarrhea and amoebiases day after day. It is really how we like things to happen? In the effort of resolving such issues we took several actions such as doing active advocacies, ordinances, studies, seminars and even have a law, which is the R.A 9003 otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management. Are we aware of these things? Yes,Do we abide with these rules? No. Did we already exhaust all possible options to resolve our problem with waste? Or let’s try to change the question, do we really have to treat wastes as leftovers and of no value at all? Three things can resolve our long time problem.

These are proper EDUCATION, DISCIPLINE and COMMITMENT, and BUSINESS. First, with proper education and implementation of the law, advocacies, and ordinances, we can expect people to be fully aware of the effects of waste mismanagement and how this could negatively affect us. Second, discipline and commitment, everything starts within and with our selves, understanding comes right after learning this is the application stage, we must act and start small because collectively each of these small efforts results to a big impact to our society. Lastly we should learn to see business in every perspective, we should be creative and think of ways to earn money with these what we so call as wastes. Every businessman knows how to value things, stop seeing the value in it and you are throwing money. How can we make this happen? My answer is Education. A place where people can learn and nourish their selves to achieve life time goal. Solid waste management has always

been a part of the curriculum ordered by the Department of Education – DepEdwherein schools throughout the country tries to practice segregating wastes from Biodegradable and Non – Biodegradable but did we already reach the pinnacle of applying what we learnt from these curriculum and the school ? No. We can do way better than this. as to what the first stanza of the song “Greatest Love of All” say “ I believe the children are our future teach them well and let them lead the way , show them all the beauty they possess inside , Give them a sense of pride to make it easier , let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be.” Thinking out of the box and encouraging creativity in every student and children and our believing in them will be our way out of the cage of limitations. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Respond .Four simple things to keep in mind but means a lot to changing the world to be a better place. Do it now, because the Future is Now.

We pinpoint others for not doing the right things The Gospel of Jesus Christ (April 06, 2017-Thursday)Luke 10:38-42” He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serv-

coverage of these benefits. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) reminded the ARB’s on the importance of ensuring employee’s safety in the workplace and the dif-

ing alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part: It was their culture to entertain a certain visitor but take note; Jesus had many companions because he never journeyed alone. Take note; every goodness that you have done is your stored accounts at

Your efforts in doing the right things are not wasted. Your kindnesses are not forgotten because it is recorded in the book of life.Revelation 20:12”And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book

was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. Martha did the rights things to prepare something to eat. Mary listened to Jesus intimately. Both these Women did great things. This is an image of a balance life. Ora it Labora. Pray and work. Martha showed her irritation to Mary for not helping her; but Jesus defended Mary

for choosing the right thing. Anyway; Jesus never questioned Martha for preparing the foods but for her reactions to Mary. Sometimes we are questioning others for not doing the same things. We pinpoint others for not doing the right things: Printing paid by: Edith Ranoa - Jordan and Crespina Ranoa - Bobong Balino– Cagayan De Oro: # 09187148435: Listen to me via Thunder Radio 97.9 FM- Cagayan

Our education today allows learners to demonstrate creativity inside the classroom where they develop their communication skill and learn to work collaboratively. This educational system delivers content which is translated into various skills that direct individual learners to become digitally literate, critical thinkers and socially

responsible. The Department of Education (DepEd) issues DO No. 35, s. 2016 – The Learning Action Cell (LAC), a K to 12 Basic Education Program School – Based Continuing Professional Development Strategy for the Improvement of Teaching and Learning. This policy is an innovation to sustain DepEd’s commitment in

supporting our teachers’ professional growth to meet emerging educational challenges and be successful in their career. This Learning Action Cell (LAC) is an avenue in the school level where teachers team up in sharing knowledge on content, planning lessons and effective teaching strategies. It provides intellectual discussions specifically in working out teaching – learning issues and even in general,

school problems affecting the learning environment. LAC contributes in strengthening professional working relationship among school heads, teachers, learners, parents and stakeholders. The Department of Education (DepEd) cannot provide all teaching and non – teaching personnel for trainings, seminar – workshops either in the division, regional or national level, hence, LAC as an enclosed policy, empowers every school to be a training place of professional endeavours appropriate to every school needs. It is now therefore the school’s resourcefulness to make every LAC session productive. The full utilization of this policy adds force to the different programs and projects of the K to 12 Basic Education. It is effective in continuing professional development of teachers to become competent and facilitate schools in establishing best practices in educating our 21st century learners.

the gravity of the offense,” Duterte said. The President pointed out that in the juvenile welfare laws of US states like New York and Washington from which Pangilinan copied his law, youth offenders are sent to a correctional facility or halfway house to be reformed before being released. “There, they are lectured on responsibility sa gobyerno mo . Then the sense of accountability sa ginawa mong masama . Kaya ikukulong ka doon at lekturan ka. Hindi kulungan ‘ yan . Correctional. I-correct ka lang . Correctional facility,” Duterte said. But since this provision was absent in the Pangilinan law, youth offenders have no more fear of violating the law. The President likewise said that the drug problem could also be blamed on the Pangilinan law. “Generations of labaspasok, using these guys as couriers of shabu . You cannot arrest them, 15 years old. They can be used and reused and utilized. Tapos labas-pasok sila. Lumaki sila na ang psychological setup is that there is no law or if there’s one, it does not have a bite,” he said. “And now na malaki na sila, we have produced people who are of criminal minds.

Another SP kibitzer said it dawned a so early political mood in the province, adding that it was Floirendo who’s to blame for bringing in Alvarez as his congressional bet last year than former Vice Gov. Baby Suaybaguio, the supposed coalition’s congressional bet who turned against gu-

Floirendo got his own dose of medicine in the political lobotomy they staged against Suaybaguio minutes before the deadline for the filing of candidacy last year, the kibitzer added. “Tonyboy could have no Alvarez problem now had he chosen Baby,” he added.

Our frontline is health workers who will be trained in assessing the surrenderees whether they are mild, moderate, or severe. If severe, they need a residential rehabilitation treatment,” she said. She said that under a community-based approach, “mild” and “moderate” drug users will be offered short courses at the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority or the Alternative Learning System of the Department of Education to help them recover fast. Rehab program upgrade Ubial said DOH is planning to upgrade its drug rehabilitation program that will give drug users a strong lifetime support system to help them fully recover from drug use. She said they are planning to copy a program implemented by the Japanese government that provides a strong support mechanism to former drug users to ensure they would not return to drug use. “The concept of Japan is like, once you try drugs, you are (always) vulnerable,” she said.

She added the support group helps former drug dependents find job opportunities and homes to give them a semblance of normalcy after quitting drugs. The secretary added they are planning to emulate this kind of support mechanism for drug dependents who have finished the community-based rehabilitation and after-care program. She said drug users classified as “moderate” and “mild” will be enrolled in a community-based approach while the “severe” drug dependents will receive an after-care treatment in rehab centers. She said city and municipal health workers play a vital role in the communitybased rehabilitation program as they will be tapped to do the assessment and give drug dependents the support so that they can drop the use of drugs. “What is important is that they have something to do and they are monitored, so that they will not have any access to illegal drugs. They also get tested randomly at any point in time in the community-based rehabilitation program,” she said. (Antonio L. Colina IV/ MindaNews)
