EWLY-appointed chair of the Mindanao Development Authority Secretary Datu Abdul Khayr Alonto said the recent visit of Japanese Prime Miniter Shinzo Abe -- the first head of state to come to the country’s south since Malaysia’s Prime Minister Dato Seri Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad in 1994 -- not only rekindles the historic ties between Davao City and Japan, but has brought Philippine-Japan relations to a deeper level based on a shared aspiration for Mindanao’s peace and progress.

Many of us define success in different ways. All of us are always aiming for the word success. Yes, success!

Education is one of the best successes that we ever have. Education always brings success. To be able to gain education places our self to school. School a place of learning- where something like everything happens, where education life bloom us to real scene of

life. School serenade our life to educate to open our minds, nurture our knowledge, broaden our learning, widen our ideas, looking beyond the big pictures ahead to us, changing our life, give reasoning, and living a life to hand success.

Truly indeed, school a home for success because no one is going to hand success. You must go out and get by yourself. Success is something that we need to work out with action, goal, love and faith, where action plays the fundamental key to success. Many of us, experiencing sometimes we win and sometimes we lose but learning to life never be reason to give up but to keep fighting for the word

SUCCESS! I have something to share where success hand me to become what I become now. H.O.P.E is my key.

H- Having good attitudes to achieve my ambition and believe the future can be better than the present.

The Hippie and The Old Man Think a minute…There was a young, intelligent university student named Bill. Bill was what some people call a “free spirit” or “hippie.” He had wild long hair, always wore the same old and torn T-shirt, jeans and no shoes. Across the street from the university campus was a conservative church. The people there were rich, older and well-dressed.

They wanted to help the university students nearby, but they did not know exactly how to do it.

Well, one day Bill decided to go visit this church by his university. As usual, he went wearing his only jeans, old, torn T-shirt and his dirty long hair. The church service had already started and was full, so Bill walked down the center aisle looking for a seat.

People were getting more and more uncomfortable as they watched this unclean, wildlooking young man. Finally, Bill got to the front and saw there were no more empty seats, so he just sat down on the floor right in front of the preacher. No one had ever done that in this church before! By now, everyone was upset and distracted.

Then, a respected old church deacon got up and started toward the front.

Everyone was thinking: “You

THINK

A Minute

Prejudices against our beloved president? Against US-president-elect Donald Tr u m p ? A g a i n s t y o u r lot-neighbor or your coworker? Yes, unlimited and unrestricted, we do have prejudices! Everyone of us.

Prejudices give a sense of pride in our one and only world.

Try to make a fundamental and common definition of “prejudice”: it’s an opinion, of course, favorable or unfavorable (more often the latter!). many times; it’s an opinion formed without fair examination of facts.

Prejudice creates biases, bad influences, and inquiries. Do you still remember the latest

election campaigns? What a shame sometimes!

A possible correction afterwards is seldom given or will be even rejected. Very often prejudices become coarse, rude and gross generally.

In all parts of our globe, we find an ethical hierarchy.

It’s an indirect status with fixed judgement and points of view. Social distance and discrimination predominate and make it easier to use categories such as “race”, “nation” or “culture”. Social differences have been built up.

Gays and lesbians are “unnatural” (?), all black people are “dirty” (?), all white

people are “rich”? - Heaven forbid! But I experienced it myself many times: I stayed in Israel sometime in 1978 and was not really welcomed by the people, because of my”Nazi-roots” (though I was born 1953!).

Later, I have been rejected from the Golan Heights, because I came from (enemy!)

Israeli territory. Staying in South Africa sometime in 1980, I experienced the terrible racism and fascism of the former apartheid government and its painful effects and consequences.

Yes, I mentioned such things already earlier in the corner.

Most racial prejudices have its roots from the heritage

How to become more productive when facing obstacles These days, I juggle between business administration being an adjunct professor, and visual arts. My greatest challenge is how to handle both with outcomes that really encourage.

I have learned that it takes a deliberate effort to concentrate on a task. For instance, painting needs an attempt to b e come spontaneous, especially amid responsibilities I need to fulfill as a mentor. With a brush and paint ready for a canvas, the process does not seem to flow like a leisure-walk or a dance. Many times, an artist confronts an empty space, but still the concept does not come after an hour.

For creatives like artists and musicians, the innovative ways to j our ne y for a masterpiece vary. No strategy works for everyone that is why each must discover his tipping point. I then realize that to get closer to my masterpieces, I need to paint for hours—even while thinking and feeling that the effort is stressful— until I begin to trek as if it is not work but a journey to dreamland. Once I reach that point, it is easier to work

with my other sculptures and paintings. Otherwise, doing them is like tying my hands with a ton of metal.

Based on that experience, a work of art should, therefore, be done in a time that I do not think of tasks that disrupt and where there is no noise.

Such disruptions steal my journey and it will take hours to process another trek towards a commendable output. If I do not make artworks consistently, the energy seems to come after several hours of attempting.

Universally, it is still important to set clear goals and put them into writing.

These goals should include long-term and daily targets.

After creating them, I urge myself to write steps to reach these goals. My passion is ignited by having goals and doing the steps to get closer to them.

Proofs that this strategy works: my fruitful endeavors span between fine arts and business management arenas.

I have had three solo exhibits even when I was working full-time during exhibitions.

I already published eight research articles—five of

them in the international publications--in both business and fine arts fields. By God’s grace, I availed a competitive indiv idu a l comp et it ive grant in research from the National Commission for culture and the Arts. I did not also exclude community outreaches as trainer, curator and hosting partner of visual arts development projects sponsored by a Makati-based foundation and another l o c a l n on - g ov e r n m e nt organization.

Productivity is a matter of strategy.

There was a big lumberjack who bought a brand new chainsaw and was told it could cut down at least 100 trees a day.

But on the first day, he only felled 25 trees. Then he tried harder and finally cut down 33 of them in the forest. On the third day, he started early, and even shortened his lunch break, and he still managed to cut down 48 trees.

He went back to the store and complained to the manager. He told him about his efforts and the results.

The manager could not quite understand what had gone

lucell larawan wrong, so he asked to take a look. He grabbed the starter rope and pulled hard, and the motor started with a roar.

The lumberjack jumped back in surprise and yelled, “Hey, what’s that big noise?”

That is a humorous account of not knowing what method to use for increasing productivity. Sometimes, however, we also rely too much on our methods which is risky.

So I should still exercise faith in the journey or else fall prey into the inevitable as quoted by George MacDonald: “In whatever man does without God, he must fail miserably or succeed more miserably”.

Tetangco’s last SOBA? Jhan Tiafau Hurst can’t blame the deacon, he really should correct this disrespectful young man.”

Everyone was watching. Even the preacher stopped his sermon when the old man finally got to the front. Then, they were all completely surprised to see the old deacon drop his walking stick and very slowly sit down on the floor next to this young hippie. He did not want this young man to sit alone and feel unaccepted. The people in the church were moved to tears. Finally, the preacher said: “What I am preaching about today you will probably never remember. But what you have just seen you will never forget!”

Friend, it does not matter how you look or how much money or education you hurst/PAGE 11

Every January, the Governor of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) traditionally renders to the banking c o m mu n i t y a n d o t h e r stakeholders what may be considered as the Governor’s State of Banking Address (SOBA).

This year, Gov. Amando M. Tetangco, Jr. delivered what could be his farewell SOBA before industry leaders, government functionaries (led by Senate President Koko Pimentel), and various stakeholders.

Usually held at the lawn of the historic Fort Abad within the BSP Complex, this year’s address had to be moved indoor to the adjacent Me t ro p o l it a n Mu s e u m because of inclement weather.

The equally impressive alternate venue is home of the vast gold artifacts collection of the BSP as well as current displays of contemporary

Filipino artists.

Tetangco is scheduled to end his unprecedented second term as BSP Governor of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas on July 2, 2017. This assumes that the powers-that-be are unable to convince Tetangco to accept a third term.

Term extension, according to observers, should not be a problem, considering the administration’s super majority in Congress which could pass an amendatory law lifting term limits.

Current limit is two terms of 6 years each.

Wh e t h e r Te t a n g c o’s address was a valedictory - or a pre-inauguration remains to be seen. As the song goes: “que sera, sera” , “what will be, will be”.

What is clear, however, was how well both the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and the Philippine banking community superbly

performed in 2016. This, despite the extreme external volatilities, uncertainties and threats during the year.

Remember that 2016 was the year when the Chinese stock market went on a seeming free fall, when a very jittery market closely watched Fed moves, when Britons unexpectedly voted to leave the European Union, and when Donald trumped Hillary in a stunning electoral upset.

Despite all these unsettling factors, the BSP continued to deliver on its primary mandate of price and financial stability.

Once again, the Philippines achie ved a convergence of low inflation (below 2 per cent) and high growth. Equally important, the banking community played a significant role in helping sustain the pace of growth.

AboitizPower project bond deal bags global awards T HE proje ct bond issued for the TiwiMakBan (MakilingBana haw) G e othermal Energy Project of AboitizPower bagged the 2016 Bond Deal of the Year of the prestigious Project Fi n an c e Inter n ati on a l magazine of Thomson Reuters.

The awarding ceremony will be held on Feb. 1, 2017 at the Hilton, Park Lane in London.

The project bond has also been touted as one of the best in Asia, getting the Best Renewable Deal of the Year

by Alpha Southeast Asia, to

be awarded on Jan 25, 2017 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The PHP12.5-billion local currency, multi-tranche bond issuance, backed by the Asian Development Bank, was the first green bond issuance in Asia and the Pacific.

AboitizPower through its subsidiary AP Renewables, Inc. (APRI), used the issuance to finance the rehabilitation of the Tiwi-MakBan geothermal power facilities, which it bought from the government in 2009 and to partially fund its operating expenditures and future capital investments.

The Importance of School and Community Collaboration

By MARIANO S. PLAZOS JR., Teacher Sanipon Elementary School

In the face of such overwhelming need what does collaborative action offer? Most people would agree that it’s considerably easier for children to develop and learn with the support of strong families who in turn enjoy the support of individuals and institutions collectively agree upon their goals and everyone benefits.

S chools enjoy the support of families and c om mu n it y m e mb e r s .

Families have many opportunities to contribute to their children’s education and communities look forward to a responsible workforce. Benefits accrue to the staff of schools and community agencies as well: they can boost morale, high engagement in their work and feeling that their work will net results.

Schools offer to communities a focal point of educational services for children. Symbolically, schools are seen by many as the last enduring public i n s t i t u t i o n s i n m a ny

communities. Instruction typically includes lessons in social and cultural skills-particularly in the e l e m e nt a r y g r a d e s - i n addition to acculturation into mainstream values and ethics. Mostly, schools have potential to build well-educated individuals ready on responsibilities as contributing community members.

By working together it enables to construct a bamboo-bridge for the pupils of Sanipon E/S situated in a plateau-like elevation where pupils frequently have to pass and walk across a small river. During rainy days, the water rises to a level not crossable anymore for the children or even adults.

By this, I decided to construct a bamboo bridge to facilitate convenient passage of pupils to and fro the school premises, with PTA and barangay official’s collaboration this was realized and is now fully operational.

Laguna (MakBan), as well as in Tiwi, Albay combine for 390 MW of clean renewable power for the Luzon grid.

“This award proves we are on the right path, both in our efforts to find power generation technologies that support global commitments to address climate change and in our intention to find innovative and viable financing options to support our plans,” AboitizPower President and Chief Operating Officer Antonio R. Moraza said.

“It has always been our goal to provide ample, reliable and reasonably priced power through a balanced mix of generation assets so we can

support the energy needs of the Philippines,” Moraza added.

The climate bond for TiwiMakBan was certified by the Climate Bonds Initiative and is considered the first in Asia and the Pacific.

AboitizPower has one of the widest portfolios of energy sources in the country.

Thirty-nine percent of its 3,350 MW sellable capacity comes from its renewable power plants – geothermal, large hydro, run-of-river hydro and solar power plants.

The company also operates a number of coal power plants for base-load capacity and oilfired power plants for reliable peaking supply. (PNA)

Teacher Student Relationship

By Ace Mark Andrew B. Sadicon Teacher 1 Maramag Central Elementary School

Teacher student relationship is very important to the children. A positive relationship between student and teacher is difficult to established, but can be found for both individuals at the end.

A teacher and students who have the qualities of good communications, respect in a classroom and show interest in teaching from point of view of the teacher and learning from the student will establish a positive relationship in the classroom.

On the other hand, there are students who fool around and use the school for entertainment, teaching then become difficult; especially if there is no proper communication. Yet, teachers creating positive relationship with their students, will not necessarily control all the disruptive students.“ The B ook Responsible Classroom Discipline “written by Vernon F. Jones and Louise

Jones discuss how to create a learning environment approachable for children in elementary school.

According to Jones,”students disruptions will occur frequently in classes that are poorly organized and managed where the students are not provided with appropriate and interesting instructional tasks. The key is, teacher needs to continue monitor the students in order for him/her to be aware of the difficulties the student is having. Understanding the child problems, fears and confusion will give the teacher a better understanding of child’s dif f ic u lt ies. S o, t he communication between teacher and student provides a better atmosphere for a classroom environment. The more the teacher connects or communicates with their students, the more likely they will be able to help students learn at a high level and accomplish quickly.

Common Social vices In School

By Alden R. Arca - Teacher 1 Sinuda Central Elementary School

Most children that engage themselves in vices are from the broken family.

Negligence of the parents can make the wards turn to their friends for love, emotions and care. It is rare to find a school or institution void of social vices. These defects are present in the primary level, secondar y and tertiar y level. It is defined as bad habit and immoral activities among young people. This includes indecent dressing, robbery, drug addiction, gambling, premarital sex and all forms of vices that harm them.

Peer pressure is the maj or c aus e of yout h involvement in social vices.

Students spend more time with their friends in school or at home. No one cares for them and due to this weak nature and tender age, they can be easily influence by their surroundings.

They have high level of

curiosity and learn to have fun and practice new things like smoking, drinks and sometimes go beyond the boarder for trials.

Another factor is the negligence of the parents or broken family, they are lack of parental guidance, care, super visions and attention that can make their children engage in social vices which affect the society as a whole, mental, physical, academic and moral aspect of individual are negatively affected.

In order to help the children, mother should be close to their kids, close monitoring, and time should be given to children by their parents. They should be taught of moral and spiritual values and word of God. Government should organized forum that will enlighten the student’s mind on dangerous associated social vices. School should have high level of discipline.

Is teaching a stressful job?

By Janet P. Dacut – Teacher lll Maramag Central Elementary School

Ev e r yon e k n ow s t h at teaching is not an easy profession and the most stressful job and being severely stressed, they end up to quit for their job. But what is it about teaching that make it sick or stressful job? There are some obvious causes of teachers stress.

Perhaps the most glaring is that a lot of children misbehaved. These days it’s common for a single teacher to have 30 or more pupils in the classroom especially in elementary level, many of whom might be climbing in chairs, crying, throwing things and generally being challenging, and this right away creates a lot of stress as you have move from one crises to another, while same time being aware of what’s going on in the classroom, this can get very tiring.

Teacher stress is the sheer fact that many children are actively trying to make their teacher stressed. This is perhaps, one of the only job there is where you have to face a large group purposefully pushing your

buttons to see if you will break and stress caused partly by simple social stress that emerged from having to spend time with lots of people. Teachers are also subject to scrutiny because people wants your attention and also carried away by the mood of the people and it adds to your stress. Another aspect that make teaching stressful is when you stand up and perform. Speaking in public is something pretty-much always going to trigger and acute stress response. They feel stress from parents, regulars inspectors and from head masters and deputies.

As te acher it is your responsibility to help craft children into functioning adults with repertoire of social and educational skills under their built. All this pressure is added to a simple fact that teaching is a big responsibility.

But still teacher believed that teaching is a noblest profession that she/he embraced though it’s a stressful job.

Importance of Active Participation of Parents & Teachers Association at Brigada

By RUFINO G. SARAOS Teacher I Balintad Elementary School

PA R E N T S w h o a r e constantly online and have social network account are also influenced in joining Brigada Eskwela as they make groufie or selfie documentation thus helping in the positive outcome of the program.

Radio, print media, Internet, TV infomercials and news updates are also badgering to those who are reluctant to join the Brigada Eskwela.

As the Brigada Eskwela spanned for two decades, t h e s c h o ol’s n e e d on early preparation and encouraging the parents to participate change overtime.

The mindset of leniency t o w a r d s i nv o l v e m e n t was reformed. Level of awareness was raised into beyond expected level. Way back in the 19809s, the school was a mess after

two months of vacation.

Weeds have outgrown the landscaping, Dried fallen leaves conceal the entire ground. Fallen branches, animal droppings, cobwebs, trashes from lenient visitors, gutters are overflowing when torrential rain pours down, blasting downspouts. All of these ugly eyesores were efficaciously obliterated during the Brigada Eskwela week.

Parents, teachers and community gather together to do cleanup and repairs to prepare the rooms for the beginning of the new school year. The volunteers do the cleanup on school grounds, make the necessary operations on classroom tables and chairs and parents and private businesses offer the necessary supplies and materials.

from 1.6 percent in 2016, the World Bank said, while emerging and developing economies will see growth accelerate to 4.2 percent this year from 3.4 percent last year.

“A f t e r y e a r s o f disappointing global growth, we are encouraged to see stronger economic prospects on the horizon,” World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim said in a statement.

“Now is the time to take advantage of this momentum and increase investments in infrastructure and people.”

Howe ve r, t h e re w a s considerable uncertainty surrounding the forecasts, which did not incorporate t h e e f f e c t s of v a r i o u s

policy proposals from US President-ele c t D ona ld Trump, which are expected to include increased fiscal stimulus from tax cuts and infrastructure spending, and a more protectionist trade stance.

The World Bank forecasts 2017 US growth at 2.2 percent versus 1.6 percent in 2016, but the increase could be considerably larger -- and have effects far beyond US shores.

“A surge in US growth -whether due to expansionary fiscal policies or other reasons -- could provide a significant boost to the global economy,” the bank said.

Strategic intervention materials: A revamp for learning

By FREDERICK L. TANDE, Teacher I Kisawa Elementary School Kibawe, Bukidnon

Innovation makes Kisawa Elementary School stoke their performance this year.

Teachers and stakeholders share their creativity in thinking up new things that unlocks new value with SIM. Revamping of instruction materials is the effort on the part of a school to take into account individual pupils characteristics and needs, and adaptable instructional practices, in organizing the learning environment.

In accordance with DepeD Memo 459, s. 2005, Kisawa Teaching Staff and stakeholders generated outputs and believed that SIM is an alternatives for traditional learning materials. These can be used as enrichment and reinforcement materials. As they conducted workshop with the barangay officials and parents they crafted

inter vention materials that can attract pupils in learning, uplift pupils’ performance and to eliminate the stereotype behavior of students on books.

SIM is very important specially to those pupils are maybe one or two below the standard deviations of means according to the results of standardized testing. As of now pupils in Kiawah E/S are given the opportunity to explore various ideas and concepts that would enrich their understanding of varied subject matters that sharpen their competencies.

Furthermore, the benefit of the strategic intervention materials is not only for the teacher’s convenience and system in teacher but also for the easy grasp of the learners.

Majority of Filipino households unbanked: BSP survey MAJORIT Y of Filipino families remained unbanked in 2014, based on the central bank’s latest C onsumer Finance Survey (CFS) that saw more a third of households spending beyond their means.

Only two in 10 families have been saving their money in banks, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said, with more unbanked Filipinos in the provinces than in Metro Manila.

Of t hos e w it h b an k accounts, only 70% actually had interest earnings. Peso deposit accounts had a median balance of P5,300 that year.

“The foremost reason cited by households for not

having a deposit account was not having enough money to keep an account,” Monetary Board Member Felipe M. Medalla said in a press briefing on Friday at the central bank headquarters in Manila.

“B as e d on t he o dds ratios, results show that m aj or it y of hou s ehol d heads who are employed in private establishments and government are banked,” the BSP also said in the report, adding that those who worked in the informal sector were largely unbanked.

By JAMESRUEBEN C. DURAN, TEACHER I STA. ROSARIO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Kitaotao, Bukidnon

ONE aspect of non-verbal communication is the use of the eyes to convey messages. The eyes are a powerful tool for both the teacher and the learner yet much classroom time is spent with eyes firmly fixed on the book, the board, the floor, the window or roaming randomly around the teaching and learning environment.

Teachers working in all disciplines in secondary schools have always been advised to develop the look as part of their teaching persona. The look ranges from “be quiet please” through “I’m not going to tell you again” to “don’t mess

with me, sonny” and in this respect is seen as having a disciplinary function.

The look indeed works but don’t overdo it or you will become a caricature of yourself. Establishing a management role in the classroom involves eye contact from the outset combination of eye contact and their name as they enter the room. Talk to your learners, not to the book, the board or the screen. Eyes can set the tone of a lesson.

As the lesson starts, walk around the room looking to check whether the learners are ready – books out, pens and paper handy, mobile phones off.

Grandeur of School-based Adopt A School Program Management (SBM) Charma Legaspi Burgos ,Teacher-II Kitaotao Central Elementary School

What is s cho ol b as e d (SBM)?

School-based management (SBM) is a strateg y to improve education by transferring significant decision-making authority from state and district offices to individual schools.

SBM provides principals, teachers, students, and parents greater control over the education process by giving them responsibility for decisions about the budget, personnel, and the curriculum. Through the involvement of teachers, parents, and other community members in these key decisions, SBM can create more effective learning environments for children.

Allow competent individuals in the schools to make decisions that will improve learning. Give the entire school community a voice in key decisions.

Focus accountability for decisions. Lead to greater creativity in the design of programs. Redirect resources to support the goals developed in each school; Lead to realistic budgeting as parents and teachers become more aw are of t he s cho ol’s financial status, spending

limitations, and the cost of its programs; and improve morale of teachers and nurture new leadership at all levels.

Movies replacing books?

By RUFINO G. SARAOS Teacher I Balintad Elementary School

CAN students’ time in reading class be spent as profitably with a bowl of popcorn and a movie as with a novel and notebook?

We know that worldwide, schools have had a longstanding immunity against the introduction of new technologies. In 1922, Thomas Edison predicted that movies would replace textbooks. In 1945, one forecaster imagined radios as common as blackboards in classrooms. In the 1960s, BF Skinner predicted that teaching machines and programmed instruction would double the amount of information students could learn in a given time. Filmstrips and other audiovisual aids were fads 30 years ago

and the television, now seen as a supplier of brain candy, once had a sterling reputation as an education machine.

As tablets have become more prevalent, a new debate has formed over whether K-12 school districts should switch from print textbooks to digital textbooks on tablets.

Proponents of tablets claim that they are supported by most teachers and students, are much lighter than print textbooks and improve standardized test scores.

They say tablets can hold hundreds of textbooks, s ave t he environment by lowering the amount of printing and increase student interactivity and creativity.

SPL. PROC. NO. 2411-16 IN RE: CHANGE OF NAME [SURNAME] IN THE CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH OF FATMAH BAGONTE DAMPAC UNDER REGISTRY NO. 2005-3662 REGISTERED WITH THE LOCAL CIVIL REGISTRAR OF MARAWI CITY FATMAH BAGONTE TAMANO, Petitioner, -versusLOCAL CIVIL REGISTRAR OF MARAWI CITY, LANAO DEL SUR and CIVIL REGISTRAR GENERAL, PHILIPPINE STATISTICS AUTHORITY, (PSA),

Respondents.

X----------------------------------------------X ORDER Before this court is verified petition for change of name in the certificate of live birth of FATMAH BAGONTE TAMANO dated 13 September 2016, and which reads in part: 1. Petitioner is a legal age, Filipino, single and presently a resident of Tuca Ambolong, Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, where she may be served with notices, orders and other court processes of the Honorable Court; 2.

Respondent Local Civil Registrar of Marawi City is the custodian of all records of birth of persons born in Marawi City and, is impleaded as nominal party in order to accord complete relief to petitioner pursuant to Section 6, Rule 103 of the Rules of Court. It may be served with notices, orders and other court processes at the Ground Floor, Marawi City Hall, City Hall Complex, Tubacan Street, Bangon, Marawi City; 3.

Respondent National Statistician and Civil Registrar General of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), is impleade as the central custodian of all records of birth in the country and, may be served with notices, orders and other court processes by the Honorable Court at the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), NSO Building, East Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City; 4.

Petitioner is the daughter of Tamano B. Minalang and Emmah Minalang Bagonte. She was born on 18 January 1999 at Tuca Ambolong, Marawi City and, was named by her parents as FATMAH BAGONTE DAMPAC. A copy of her Certificate of Live Birth is attached as ANNEX ‘’A’’; 5. Petitioner’s parents are all overseas Filipino workers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Copies of their respective passports are attached and marked, ANNEXES ‘’B’’ and ‘’C’’, respectively; 6.

Since birth up to the filing of this petition, petitioner had been bearing the name Fatmah Bagonte Dampac under a difficult circumstance owing to her ridiculous surname. Her surname sounds ridiculous and dishonourable as it denotes irrelevant connotation, such as, wild beast, among others. Petitioner is always the subject of an extreme prank and practical joke on account of her surname by her friends and classmates; 7. Besides, a change of name will erase such an impression that her surname connotes. It is also to her best interest as will facilitate her parent’s intended petition to have her join them in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where its Islamic law requires a child to bear the first name of his/her father as the surname or family name; 8. The petitioner’s desire to adopt the first name of her father as her surname is made in good faith and without prejudicing anybody, not to mention that her present surname causes embarrassment; 9.

There is no showing that the desired change of name was for a fraudulent purpose or that the change of name would prejudice public interest. It will rather enhance parental lineage rather than deviate from ancestry; 10. Petitioner has been bonafide resident of Marawi City, Province of Lanao del Sur, since 1999 or, for a period of eleven (18) years prior to the filing of the instant petition; 11. This petition is filed without any slightest intention to defraud the government or any individual person, but solely for the purpose of setting the record straight of the petitioner. Neither petitioner is charged of administrative, civil and criminal offense.

Finding the aforesaid petition to be sufficient in form and substance, it is hereby ordered that the same be set for hearing before this Court on JANUARY 24, 2017 at 8:30 o’clock in the morning.

Let a copy of this Order be published at the expense of the petitioner in a newspaper of general circulation in LANAO Del Sur or Marawi City or Iligan City for three (3) consecutive weeks.

The Local Civil Registrar of Marawi City and the Civil Registrar General, or any person or party who has an interest in the petition, may file his/her opposition thereto within fifteen (15) days from notice of this Petition or form the last day of publication of this Order.

Further, let this Order be posted for fifteen (15) days prior to the date of hearing in the Bulletin Board of the Local Civil Registrar of Marawi City and the Bulletin Board of this Court, also at the expenses of the petitioner.

The petitioner is directed to notify this Court of the publication of this Order not later than three (3) days before January 24, 2017.

Furnish copies of this Order, together with the copies of the petition to the Local Civil Registrar of Marawi City, the Hon. Solicitor General, Makati City; and the Hon. Civil Registrar General, National Statistics Office (NSO), Santa Mesa, Manila.

SO ORDERED.

Economic Statistics, said during the briefing that respondents were now more interested in placing their extra money with the banks, with the figure rising to 43.3% from 39.4% in 2009.

FINANCIAL INCLUSION The BSP said the survey results highlighted the need for greater efforts towards financial inclusion by allowing the entry of more micro-banking offices to unbanked areas, while also improving financial education strategies for Filipinos.

“The ownership of assets remains limited, the usage of banking services is small... they don’t think banks are useful for their own purpose given the requirements. This is a challenge also to the regulators, the BSP in making sure that bank branching is given encouragement so that more presence is felt by the population,” BSP Deputy Governor Diwa C. Guinigundo said.

The National Baseline Survey on Financial Inclusion published by the central bank in 2015 showed that only 43% of Filipino adults held savings, with 68% of them keeping their money at home rather than in financial entities.

To add, the survey results bared that only 2% of households had credit cards, while 15% of households relied on other forms of borrowing via personal, salary, multi-purpose, and business loans to pay tuition and medical fees, settle existing debts, or fund expansion plans.

Only 5.2% of home owners said they borrowed money to purchase their houses, with 75.5% of households saying they owned their place, which also happens to be the biggest asset held by Filipinos.

Still, the “sangla ATM” scheme where borrowers use their bank card as collateral remained the most popular means to secure a loan.

Only one in four Filipinos had retirement or insurance plans, with the majority covered by purely work-based programs led by the Social Security System, the BSP said. Coverage stood at 24.2% in 2014, against the 42.7% tallied in 2009.

In contrast, the BSP observed increasing interest to set aside savings among families. Rosabel B. Guerrero, director of the BSP’s Department of

behavior of Filipino consumers.

The 2009 CFS -- which covered 10,520 households in Metro Manila and the Ilocos, Central Visayas, and Davao regions -- reported that 21.5% of Filipinos had bank accounts back then.

Annual incomes averaged P178,607 in 2013, with bulk of the wages often spent on food and drinks (42.7%) and for housing rentals (12.2%). One in eight households relied on money transfers from abroad to sustain their daily expenses, the BSP added.

SPENDING A third of households said they actually spend beyond what they make, leaving them without money for emergencies.

“Almost 50% of households reported not holding any cash on hand for emergency and unexpected expenses.

For those who had cash on hand for emergency, the average and median amounts of cash holdings were P3,964 and P1,000, respectively,” the BSP said.

The share of overspenders, however, dropped to 33% from a 43.8% rate seen in 2009.

open and ready for business,” Mr. Alonto said.

Japan, one of the major markets for Mindanao’s banana exports, has previously expressed interest to venture or participate in infrastructure projects in the Philippine’s south, including the longstanding proposal for a Mindanao Railway System, which is seen to significantly improve cargo movement.

Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. President Ronald C. Go is also optimistic that “better things are yet to come in Mindanao.”

“With a G7 leader finally visiting Davao, we are excited with the prospects for more business opportunities here.

He shows not only the people of Japan that he is confident in this area, but the rest of the world as well,” Mr. Go said.

EAGLE NAMED SAKURA Meanwhile, Messrs. Abe and Duterte held a short closed door meeting at the Waterfront Insular Hotel before leading the ceremonial naming of a Philippine eagle adopted by the Japanese government.

The Philippine eagle was declared the national bird in 1995.

The juvenile female eagle -- rescued last month in Talaingod, Davao del Norte after being found with an injury from an airgun pellet and now under the care of the Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) in Davao City -- has been named Sakura, meaning cherr y blossom, Japan’s national flower “We don’t know if we can release it to the wild again, depending on the status of the eagle. Last week, (it was still) limping,” said Dennis I. Salvador, PEF executive director in an interview.

Mr. Salvador said the adoption and naming of the eagle is symbolic of the Philippine’s continued strong partnership with Japan.

M r. D u t e r t e a l s o accompanied his first foreign leader guest in a visit to the Mindanao Kokusai Daigako, a school here mainly for Jap a n e s e d e s c e n d a nt s , residents and migrants, before heading to the Davao International Airport. Mr. Abe departed at noon for Australia.

Labor Service Cooperative to work at the 6,453-hectare Hacienda Luisita sugar plantation in Tarlac owned by the Cojuangco family.

The land was supposedly covered by the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) which was enacted during the incumbency of former president Corazon Aquino, a member of the wealthy Cojuangco clan.

But the farmers said the land has since become a symbol of the country’s paralyzing oligarchy and 12 farm workers have already died in past violence between

government and the protesting farmers demanding fairer wages, increased benefits and a greater commitment for land reform.

In the latest controversy, Memper claimed that the farmers were promised P900 worth of wages a day but were only given P9.45 in lieu of daily wage totaling eight hours of work per day six days a week.

“Nahimong pakyawan ang sistema sa suholan ug gani, daghang kargada nga wala giapil og kwenta sa among suweldo,” Memper said.

Of the 161 farmers, 42 were able to escape last November. The rest are still holed up in Hacienda Luisita with guards monitoring them every day so they could not take a break, Memper said.

The farmers are now planning to file multiple counts of human trafficking against Greenland Labor Service Cooperative so that the other farmers would be rescued immediately. They are asking assistance from the Departments of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and Agrarian Reform (DAR) to back them up in their criminal complaints.

and resources to recover from crises, to minimize losses from future disasters, and to eventually rise from poverty is among the most imp or tant programs of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in the country,” said FAO Representative in the Philippines José Luis Fernández.

Through a USD3-million grant from the New Zealand Government, FAO is currently supporting the recovery of 10,475 farming and fishing households in the Province of Cotabato.

The project, which will operate until October 2017, aims to re-start agricultural livelihoods and improve the coping abilities and resilience of smallholders i n f ive mu n i c ip a l it i e s : Aleosan, Kabacan, Midsayap, Pigkawayan and Pikit.

T h e d i s t r i but i on of farm and fisheries inputs is currently underway. This includes rice, corn and vegetable seeds, fruit tree seedlings, fertilizer, drying nets, small farm machinery, post-harvest equipment, hand tools, livestock and poultry, tilapia fingerlings and gill nets.

To complement these res ources, FAO is als o conducting climate-smart farmer field schools and ot he r l ivel i ho o d sk i l l s trainings, training on basic planning for disaster risk reduction and management in agriculture including in agriculture hazard and vulnerability mapping and analysis, good practice options and technologies, and early warning and disaster preparedness.

“We have seen how peace, food security and economic growth are often mutually reinforcing. It is from this perspective that we emphasize

the need for communities to be provided the kind of support that the Government of New Zealand is enabling us to deliver,” Fernández added.

Food security situation National accounts reveal that 11 of the 20 poorest provinces are found in agriculture-dependent Mindanao. Some threefourths of the population of Mindanao or about 12.6 million people fall under levels 2 (mild chronic food insecurity), 3 (moderate chronic food insecurity) an d 4 ( s e ve re ch ron i c food insecurity), on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification. Of these, 1.96 million were found to be suffering from severe chronic food insecurity in 2015.

FAO program in Mindanao Since 2015, FAO has been working with the Government to address priority agricultural development issues in the region through its Mindanao St r at e g i c P ro g r a m f o r Agriculture and Agribusiness (MSPAA). While yet to be fully-funded, the MSPAA has served as a framework for the implementation of at least five projects in areas most severely affected by natural and man-made calamities.

FAO’s work in Mindanao is implemented in close partnership with the Government through its various agencies on t h e n at i o n a l , re g i o n a l a n d l o c a l l e v e l s . FAO also coordinates with the Mindanao Development Authority and works closely with the Department of Agriculture, Department of Agriculture and Fisheries in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao the Bangsamoro Development Agency, the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process and other pertinent agencies and local government units.

But the rest are open,” Lopez said in his speech.

The t rade chief a ls o stressed the administration’s

go a l to spu r e c on om i c g r o w t h o u t s i d e Me t r o Manila, particularly bringing developments in Mindanao.

He encouraged Japanese businesses to participate in the development programs for the southern Philippines.

Moreover, Lopez noted t hat t he U SD 9- bi l l ion official development assistance (ODA) committed

by Prime Minister Abe to the Philippines for the next five years is higher than the ODA that the government got from President Rodrigo D ut e r t e’s s t at e v i s it t o China. (PNA)
