One of the highlights of the 37th Kadayawan sa Dabaw Festival next month, the tribal village was built to showcase the rich culture and heritage of the city's 11 tribes.

Iligan to close city college for noncompliance with CHED rules

I

LIGAN City government on Tuesday moved to close its community college almost four years after it was opened. In a letter, Mayor Frederick Siao asked the City Council to pass an ordinance that will close Colegio de Iligan (CDI) for failure to comply with the minimum accreditation requirements set by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

Siao said the CDI’s closure was based on the letter issued by the CHED on July 13, which noted the cityrun college's difficulties complying with the requirements “in due t i m e .” O p e n e d t o the public on August 13, 2019 under the administration of then-mayor and now Rep. Celso Regencia, the CDI established a temporary campus at the building complex

formerly operated by the defunct National Steel Corporation. The CDI offered courses in criminology, midwifery, agriculture, and social work. Siao said his decision was also based on the recommendation of a task force he created earlier this month to pro b e t h e s c h o o l ' s compliance with CHED requirements. “ The task force found that CDI has been operating even without the

required Institutional Recognition (IR) and Certificate of Program Compliance (COPC) by CHED,” Siao said. In April, CHED issued an advisory that CDI was not yet recognized as an institution because of the pending compliance with the deficiencies required from the s c h o o l . D e s p i t e t h e m ove, t h e c it y government vowed to support students who will be displaced by providing scholarships and payment of their b o ard an d l o d g i n g should they transfer to other schools within Northern Mindanao.

Surigao Norte LGUs, coops get P9.9-M financial aid from DA BUTUAN City – Four local government units (LGUs) from Surigao del Norte and three other farmercooperatives in the Caraga Region have received P9.9 million worth of financial aid from the Department of Agriculture (DA). . In a statement Wednesday, the regional agriculture office in Caraga (DA-13) said the towns of Burgos, Pilar, Sta. Monica, and Placer got the government aid. “The financial grants were released through the DA’s Enhanced Kadiwa Financial Grant Assistance Program through the efforts of Sen. Ma. Imelda Josefa ‘Imee’ Marcos,” the DA-13 said. The town of Sta. Monica got P4 million; Pilar,

P1.5 million; Burgos, P987,000; and Placer, P300,000. Aside from the LGUs, three farmers’ cooperatives in the region were also recipients of the financial grant during Tuesday's release here. The cooperatives included the Magsaysay Multi-Purpose C o op erative in Madrid, Surigao del Sur with PHP1.5 million; Kangyat Farmers Multi-Purpose Cooperative in Talacogon, Agusan del Sur, PHP1 million; and the Nuevo Campo Development Cooperative in San Benito, Surigao del Norte, P612,500. Ronald Malaque, chair of Magsaysay Multi-Purpose Cooperative, welcomed the government support. “We will use it (grant) as working capital and a fund to purchase a delivery truck so that we can easily consolidate the local produce of

our farmer-members,” Malaque was quoted as saying. Louie Ville Lerona, Sta. Monica municipal agriculture office chief, said the LGU will use the fund to help at least two other farmers’ cooperatives in the town. DA13 Director Ricardo Oñate Jr. thanked Senator Marcos for her continuing support of DA's Kadiwa program, which primarily aims to assist community-based organizations in making their stores sustainable. “Under the leadership of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., we are doubling our efforts to ensure that the food supply and the food prices are within everyone’s reach,” he said. Since 2020, some 30 farmers’ cooperatives and four LGUs in the region have received financial grants through the Kadiwa program. (PNA)

Educating Learners with Special Needs: An Overview of SPED in the Philippines By: Juvilee S. Pabotoy Lorenzo Tan Memorial Central School Lorenzo Tan, Tangub City

Education of learners with special needs has come an extensive and lengthy way. It can be in a method from special education (SPED) to integrated education and it as process from integrated education to inclusive education. Despite the prop-up by a number of guidelines, policies and programs from time to time to speed up the bound of all the efforts made in this direction the regular schools with inclusive orientation face many barriers, roadblocks, impediments and challenges. However, SPED is currently a topical subject that is widely discussed and deliberated

upon in the field of education.

Philippines is included!

It has invariably been referred to as part of the global education for all agenda as a new education paradigm and as an educational reform goals to make our societies inclusive. The same is accepted in Philippines. However, the aspect of education for all is not effectively implemented despite of having policies and legal framework that advocate education for all specially in the implementation of SPED classes. The Declaration of the Rights of the Child adopted by the United Nations General

Assembly in 1959, affirmed that mankind owes to the child.

The education should enhance teachers who teach children with learning disability and also create awareness in the society to accept children with special educational needs. Therefore, there is a need to introduce comprehensive special needs education in all teacher professional development programs. Teachers and administrators are perceived to be integral to the implementation of inclusive education. They played a vital role in the successful implementation of inclusive education as they are viewed as linchpins in the process of including students with disabilities.

Hence, this focus on the issue of children with learning disabilities by exploring the challenges and challenges faced by SPED teachers who teach children with learning disability and how they try to overcome these challenges. There must be something to be done so that inclusive education must be truly inclusive. Government effort are already seen as years goes by but still there are lots to be done and there many to be included.

LandBank launches P10-B loan facility for rural banks affected by typhoon

L

ANDBANK of the Philippines (LandBank) has launched a lending program to aid the recovery of countryside financial institutions (CFIs) that were affected by typhoon Odette last year.

The bank’s loan program named Countryside Financial Institutions – Rehabilitation and Support to Typhoon Odette-Affected Areas or CFIRESTORE aims to strengthen rural banks by providing additional capital for them to expand their operations and address the damage caused by the typhoon.

Loans secured via the program can also be used to provide credit for those affected by the typhoon.

“In the face of unprecedented financial challenges brought about by calamities, LandBank stands ready to assist CFIs to sustain their operations. This is part of our commitment to advance local recovery and help build more resilient communities nationwide,” L andB ank President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo said in a statement on Sunday.

Under CFI-RESTORE, LandBank will support CFIs in

six regions previously placed by the national government under a state of calamity due to typhoon Odette. These include MIMAROPA (Region IV-B), Western Visayas (Region VI), Central Visayas (Region VII), Eastern Visayas (Region VIII), Northern Mindanao (Region X), and CARAGA (Region XIII).

Borrowers can secure up to 85% of their actual need for permanent working capital and capital expenditure, and up to 90% for sub-borrowers’ agricultural loans and 85% for non-agricultural loans.

“An interest rate of 4% per year shall apply, fixed for the

first three years and subject to repricing thereafter, and payable up to three years for working capital, ten years for capital expenditure, and ten years for term loan rediscounting,” the state-run bank said.

LandBank is also offering a loan restructuring plan under the program for CFIs with existing credit lines with the state-owned lender to help rehabilitate and restore their operational cash flow.

Eligible debtors for the program include rural, thrift and cooperative banks. The program will also cater to CFIs in areas placed under a state

PH firm to launch all Filipino-owned eCommerce platform THE first ever all Filipino-owned eCommerce platform will be launched around the second quarter of 2023.

The technology is currently being developed by LB TEKSystems, also an all-Filipino IT company operating locally.

“We are hoping to build a platform that would help online buyers and sellers alleviate the problems of rampant scamming and

customer dissatisfaction that plagued many on p opu l ar e C om me rc e brands and social me di a marketpl ace,” LB TekSystems chief operating officer Angelo Alejandro said in a media release on Wednesday.

More than an eCommerce app packed w it h fe atu re s fou n d o n c u r r e nt p o p u l a r shopping apps, the owner company is founded and headquartered in the Philippines.

This is good news

for Filipinos, as unlike competition which are owned and op erated by foreign companies, this new initiative will benefit the Philippines and the Filipinos with the tax revenue generated for the government and the additional jobs for more local workers.

With the cessation of the current pandemic still elusive, this new home-grown business promises better value to Filipinos.

That is, t he s ame easy-to-use buying and

selling capabilities with better stability, security and overall customer e x p e r i e n c e, an d t h e continuous thrust to promote Filipinism and a better Philippine economy.

LandBank’s net income in the first three months of the year soared by 141% to P13.2 billion from P5.48

billion a year earlier amid a one-time gain following its merger with United Coconut Planters Bank, as well as higher interest income from loans and investments.

Yields on gov’t debt rise on faster June inflation YIELDS on government securities (GS)rose last week after inflation surged to its fastest level in nearly four years in June.

GS yields, which move opposite to prices, rose by an average of 7.44 basis points (bps) week on week, based on the PHP Bloomberg Valuation (BVAL) Service Reference Rates as of July 8 published on the Philippine Dealing System’s website.

Yields climbed nearly across the board last week, except for the seven- and 10-year bonds, which lost 3.61 bps and 10.39 bps, respectively, to fetch 6.4363% and 6.9239%.

The rates on the 91-, 182-, and 364-day Treasury bills rose by 6.86 bps, 18.62 bps, and 8.71 bps to 1.8515%, 2.3971%, and 2.6928%, respectively.

The belly of the curve also went up as yields on the two-, three-, four-, and five-year Treasury bonds (T-bonds) increased by

14.25 bps (4.5713%), 17.71 bps (5.2604%), 15.04 bps (5.7258%), and 5.51 bps (5.9962%).

Likewise, the rates of the 20- and 25-year papers rose by 4.84 bps (6.6869%) and 4.32 bps (6.4597%), respectively.

GS volume reached P8.31 billion on Friday, higher than the P7.51 billion seen in the week ending July 1.

“Peso bond yields climbed week on week after the release of the June inflation data, which clocked in higher than expected,” a bond trader said in a Viber message.

ATRAM Trust Corp. Head of Fixed Income Jose Miguel B. Liboro likewise attributed the higher rates to the release of June inflation data.

“Key drivers [last] week were inflation and the fouryear [bond] auction. The move higher in June inflation was significant but in-line with market expectations,” Mr. Liboro said in an e-mail.

Rise to the challenge Think a minute...One man said, “I have problems flown in fresh daily wherever I am!”

Ever feel like you cannot get away from problems no matter where you go?

We all know that problems and challenges are a part of life. Some of them we face every day at home and at work. Then there is that once-in-a-lifetime challenge we must overcome. How we respond to challenges greatly determines how successful and satisfying our life will be. Remember: “A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor.”

The world of sports can help us see the kind of heart and courage we need to rise to the challenge. Years ago the Australian Herb Elliot was a great runner until he broke his foot and could not run for months. He was then forced to only watch as John Landy ran the mile in under four minutes.

Afterwards, Elliot told a famous running coach that he also wanted to run the mile in less than four minutes. The coach looked at him and answered: “Son, do you know what it takes

THINK A MINUTE

JHAN TIAFAU HURST to run a mile in under four minutes? Are you ready to run until you can hardly stand and you’re almost unconscious?” Young Herb Elliot rose to the challenge.

Less than one year later, at age 19, he broke the world record by running a mile in only 3 minutes and 54 seconds!

The great female athlete Babe Didrikson won two gold medals in the Olympics and was also a champion in tennis, golf, horseback riding, swimming, basketball . . . and then cancer.

ORLAN R. RAVANERA Today, the Rotary Club of East Cagayan de Oro marks its 51st year of existence with the induction of new set of officers headed by its newly elected President, my sister in-law, Ms. Jeanne S. Ong. The election of the Club’s President came not as a surprise.

Being the younger sister of my lovely wife, Helen, Jeanne has gone a long way in helping not only her relatives but the community as well, even generating job opportunities to those in need through her outstanding entrepreneurship and business acumen. What is even more amazing is that the Jeanne’s induction has coincided with the Club’s celebration of Rotary International with the theme, Imagine Rotary.

Devoid of the klieg lights to showcase the magnificent accomplishments of the Rotarians

whom I am aware of as no less than my amazing niece, Atty. Elya Kristine Ravanera Bago. is an outstanding Rotarian herself who have done so much for the environment and in serving the least of our brethren, may I underscore the relevance of the Rotary Club of East Cagayan de Oro and the Rotary Club International.

We are living in most turbulent times as the onset of a new age saw not only our country but the whole world beset with set of problems deeply rooted in poverty, gross inequities & social injustices not to mention the glaring threat of climate change that has put the earth in the state of planetary emergency described by thousands of concerned scientists and environmentalists as “one minute before midnight.” As concluded in the Study, “we are now in the 22nd year of the 21st century but we do not know whether we will reach the 22nd century which is just 78 years from now.” No less than Pope Francis in Lau Da Tu Si has encouraged humanity to hear the cry of the poor and of the earth. The Rotarians have been hearing the cry of the poor and

of the earth. It is the Club that are drawing those in the margins into the mainstream of development process.

Its scholarship program for the poor but bright students has become a springboard to provide a bright future not only to the scholars’ families but to their respective communities as well.

The Club is so amazing in its environmental protection and ecological sustainability projects. The Rotarians understand very well that climate change is not a far-off threat. It’s impacting communities all over the world at this very moment, and we ignore the scientific reality at our own peril.

But not the Rotarians!

No less than the United Nations has issued in 2015 the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as the countervailing measures to protect life on earth and to advance gender equity through women empowerment which ROTARY INTERNATIONAL is now focusing on. It has been said that if mankind has to achieve a sustainable kind of development, it is imperative to mobilize the other half of humanity composed of girls and women. When the

young girls develop their full human potentials and become professionals, they become assets to society, In more ways than one, The Rotary Club of East Cagayan de Oro has many narratives to share on how the Club is doing that such as providing scholarships to young girls. Indeed, you want to know the future?

When poor girls are empowered and capacitated as professionals to serve their communities, the future will be bright as such is a liberation path against hunger and poverty. Imagine that future based on our vision of making life better for the poor and the oppressed.

When you imagine, hear the cry of the poor and of the earth.

There is a saying that goes, “there is no greater grandeur sight in the world than that of a Club fired with a great purpose, dominated by one unwavering aim of making life better for the people.” That Club is bound to win, the whole world stands to one side and let it pass.

It always makes a way for the Club to win, not for fame, power or glory but to serve the least of ELECTS/PAGE 7

Land reform, history, and tsismis WITH a farmer’s blood in my veins, I still cannot leave the subject of agricultural productivity and what hounds it to date. There is one issue that has not come to the fore simply because it would impact on the p olit ica l charac ters t h at e m e rge d af t e r the government of the late Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos came to an end.

This includes not a few white collar employees who were beneficiaries in the regime change.

The political leaders before Marcos were adamant to institute an ag rar ian refor m program. Marcos did.

He wrote in his own handwriting Presidential Decree 27 that was to emancipate the tenant-farmers from the b ondage of the landlords. The dictum under PD 27 was clear: land for the actual tillers,

meaning tenants.

When Corazon Aquino took over the reins of government she scrapped PD 27 and replaced this, through a Presidential Pro cl amat i on , w it h Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program or CARP. This was later passed into law

by Congress.

T h e re i s a s t ar k difference between PD 27 and CARP. While the Marcos decree limits the beneficiaries to tenant farmers, Aquino’s CARP recognizes not only tenants, but any Tom-Dick and Harry who are landless to be beneficiaries of lands.

There is a whale of d i f fe re n c e b e t we e n Marc o s and C or y ’s doctrines of land reform.

Thousands of hectares of agricultural lands were awarded to individuals who hate the smell of

the earth but know the values of the land. Thus, what used to be rice lands became either idle or were converted into subdivisions.

In t h e s o - c a l l e d Martial Law museum, an article written about the agrarian reform program of t h e g ov e r n m e nt interestingly excluded the fact that PD 27 ended with the Presidential Proclamation 131 of Cor y Aquino under her revolutionar y government.

The article also cites that corporate farms were excluded under PD 27. On the contrary, operation land transfer then was dynamic. It initially focused on rice and corn lands for these are the areas where tenancy is most pre v a l e nt . L ate r, it considered co conut plantations which were run by laborers.

LETTERS FROM DAVAO

JUN LEDESMA There were a number of antagonisms in this sector but it went on just the same. Corporate farms using leased lands from the government were then ordered to allocate portions of the land for rice production.

CARP, more over, mongrelized the essence emancipation of tenant farmers. In a creative move, it allowed a stock option which was in the case of Hacienda Luisita — vast track of lands owned by Corazon Cojuangco Aquino and LAND/PAGE 7

As w e m ov e f o r w a r d to another year of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has already greatly affected our daily routines in ways that no one anticipated and created a new normal.

Activities such as outings with family, going to the mall with friends, or even taking a walk outside are risky for those who are not vaccinated or would rather avoid crowded places altogether.

This is why most of us choose to stay at home more to minimize the risk of being exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19.

Ho w e v e r, b e i n g at home would mean living a sedentary lifestyle wherein watching television or sitting down in front of a computer for long periods as well as eating snacks that are unhealthy to consume is the challenge for many. Hence, we must stay proactive.

It’s not uncommon that some people are still hesitant to return to the gym, but there are a few safe alternatives to getting the physical activity that you need.

You can start with aerobic exercises at home. Push-

ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, and even more exercises are great ways to stay fit. Other ideas include: * Walking around the house or up and down the stairs for 15-20 minutes at least 2-3 times per day. * Dancing along to your favorite music. * Wat c h e xe rc i s e v i d e o s o n Yo u Tu b e .

Yo u c a n a l s o f i n d ways to do simple mu s c l e s t r e n g t h e n i n g exercises, such as: * Lunges or single step-ups on stairs * Push-ups against t he w a l l or t he f l o or or the kitchen counter * Squats sit-tostands from a sturdy chair However, avoiding the crowds does not entirely mean avoiding nature. You can still go for a brisk walk or jog outside in uncrowded areas near your home that are considered safe. * Go for a bicycle ride * Start a front yard or backyard garden Doing these along with the right diet may improve your overall health and wellness.

Brigada Eskwela By: ROSARIO D. SALDUA Brigada Eskwela or t h e Nat i on a l S c h o o l s Maintenance Week is a nationwide initiative by the Department of Education (DepEd) that mobilizes t hous ands of p arents, alumni, civic groups, local businesses, non-government organizations, teachers, students, and individuals who volunteer their time and skills, including the private sector – to work together to prepare schools for the opening of the classes.

Brigada is a collaboration and a strengthening partnership engagement that complement DepEd efforts to implement the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) .

The same is done in City Central school. We started Brigada Eskwela last August 2021- February 2022. It only shows how we recognize the importance of community involvement.

To ensure the “delivery of quality basic education” amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the collective

and voluntary effort in line with the “Bayanihan” spirit.

One of the top schools in Region X, City Central School consistently wins awards in athletics, academic competitions, and Brigada Eskwela contests. Our school is known as "Home for the Champions," From the beginning until the last day, Sheila Salo, a teacher in grade two, and I, Rosario D. Saldua, a grade five teacher at City Central School, worked as the Brigada Eskwela coordinators. WE DID OUR BEST to support and guide our school in every way we could in order to keep it a winning school.

We won the City Schools Division search and received second place in the regional search for two years in a row, from the years 2020 to 2022, with God's assistance and the participation of the CCS administrators, teachers, parents, and stake holders.

PAL, AirAsia to hike fuel surcharge next month

C

ebu Pacific ‘still assessing the situation’ FLAG carrier Philippine Airlines, Inc. (PAL) and low-cost carrier Philippines AirAsia, Inc. (AirAsia Philippines) said they have filed an application with the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) to impose a higher fuel surcharge in the coming month.

The CAB said it now allows airlines to impose a Level 12 fuel surcharge in August from Level 11 currently, citing a higher average price of jet fuel from June 10 to July 9 of P54.73 per liter.

“Airlines w ishing to i mp o s e or c ol l e c t f u e l surcharge for the same p e r i o d mu s t f i l e t h e i r application with this office on or before the effectivity period,” CAB Officer-inCharge Maria Elben SL. Moro said in an advisory.

Villaluna said.

Fuel surcharge is a tool used by airlines globally to transparently ref lect the impact of fuel price volatility, she noted.

The flag carrier, she also said, will “remain faithful to the CAB matrix on fuel surcharge implementation.”

Un d e r L e v e l 1 2 o f the CAB matrix, the fuel surcharge per passenger ranges from P389 to P1,137 for domestic flights and from P1,284.40 to P9,550.13 for international flights.

A i r As i a P h i l i p p i n e s Spokesperson and Head of Communications and Public Affairs Steve F. Dailisan said the low-cost airline has also “applied” for a higher fuel surcharge.

The airline will “continue to be true to its promise of affordable world-class flights, notwithstanding the adjustments in fuel surcharge cost.”

“AirAsia understands that this slight movement in the fuel surcharge cost might be of concern to some guests. This is why we complement this uptick with regular sale promos, such as the ongoing P77 base fare in select domestic and international routes and the upcoming AirAsia BIG

Sale happening next week,” Mr. Dailisan said in a phone message.

Budget carrier C ebu Pacific, operated by Cebu Air, Inc., said it was still studying the situation.

“We are still assessing the situation. In the meantime, we are encouraging our customers to take advantage of Cebu Pacific seat sales which provide great value to passengers,” Cebu Pacific Chief Commercial Officer Xander Lao said.

C ebu Pacif ic Chief Financial Officer Mark V. Cezar said recently that the budget airline is still able to keep its fares lower this year than they were before the pandemic despite the higher levels of fuel surcharge being imposed.

The budget carrier absorbs some of the costs, he told reporters.

Demand for retail space returning to pre-Covid level DEMAND for commercial space is supporting the growth of the country’s property market with the easing of travel restrictions and recover y from the pandemic.

Real estate services company Santos Knight Frank reported Tuesday that vacancy rate in the commercial sector for the second quarter of 2022 was at 4.6 percent, which was close to pre-pandemic level.

B efore the C ovid-19 pandemic, vacancy rate for commercial space was at 3.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2019.

“The easing of travel restrictions, pent-up demand for consumption, high vaccination rates, and the return to office (RTO) are all being cited for the recover y in brick-and-

mortar retail, a sector that saw many businesses closing shop during the height of p a n d e m i c l o c k d ow n s ,” Santos Knight Frank said in a statement.

For the upcoming stores in Metro Manila alone, 32.7 percent of commercial space takers are for the food and beverage sector and 32.1 percent are for clothing apparel stores. “ ( T ) h e P h i l i p p i n e s’ property sector is likely to see significant recovery in the next two to three years into the administration of President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos, Jr., as demand returns on both commercial and residential property,” it added.

DIVISION TRAINING WORKSHOP ON SCIENCE PEDAGOGY AND AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT July 4-6, 2022 (Elementary) Hotel Conchita, Yacapin Street, Cagayan de Oro City

JEAN S. MACASERO EPS-Science Deped CDO Division

One hundred-one (101) teachers from the ten districts of the Department of Education-Cagayan de Oro City Division attended the Division Training Workshop on Science Pedagogy and Authentic Assessment. This event became an avenue for teachers for learning new trends in science teaching. It has also become an opportunity for the teacher to relearn approaches and strategies for teaching the subject in a blended modality and unlearning wrong concepts.

The first lecture, titled Basic Robotics, was given by Nedeliza Fe. O. Nacilla, DMD of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT). She demonstrated how robots are programmed as part of her lecture. She invited teachers to use robotics in their lessons as a method to inspire students to embrace technology as she closed her discussion.

The second expert speaker was Dr. Shirley A. Merida. Authentic Assessment was her subject. As the focal point of each lesson, she highlighted the significance of assessment. She provided strategies for teachers to accurately assess their students' learning needs, determine the best way to motivate them, and offer support. Dr. Merida concluded by quoting someone and giving a task.

Following the discussion, the teachers then presented their original performance tasks in GRASP format. Lunch Mark John Gabule, Division Program Holder, spoke on the subject of SouthEast Asian Schools' Real-World Problems and School Community Partnership as Contextual Scaffolds for Science Learning. during the talk. Dr. Gabule underlined that the community serves as an educational testing ground. He claimed that teachers may use local examples and recent news stories to make the lesson more timely and relevant.

He chose two of the many themes that

might be used in creating and presenting a lesson—other natural occurrences and global warming. Following the application of the concepts was an activity.

The next resource speaker was Mr. Ryan Z. Roa of South City Central School. Mr. Roa emphasized the value of employing augmented reality applications to enhance lesson presentations, incorporate technology into the classroom, and encourage and engage students in the learning process.

He asserted that it is critical for teachers to become relevant to their students.

The teachers looked into the Animal 4D program during the workshop. The presentation that the program provided was well-liked by the teachers. Among the comments they made were: The app is interesting.

The application is user-friendly.

The app is useful for blended learning modality.

The software is a good motivation tool for learners.

The teachers witnessed their colleagues' demonstration teaching on the last day of the training. Supervisors of the Public School District were tasked with observing the demonstration and facilitating the post-conference.

The teachers did an excellent job of putting their knowledge to use in the demonstration. The inputs given by PSDS made the day more productive.

There were twenty-eight volunteer demonstration teachers. The teachers were motivated and tasked with making sure that every student was put first in all their efforts inside the classrooms. The presence of Dr. Cherry Mae LimbacoReyes, the Superintendent of the Schools Division of the Division of Cagayan de Oro City, who visited each session hall, added to the high level of enthusiasm among the participating teachers.

is the top producer of such products globally,” BoI Managing Head Ceferino S. Rodolfo said.

The BoI said that the first five years of the project’s commercial operations and construction will generate 475 jobs. The project will utilize raw materials, specifically dehusked coconuts from Misamis Oriental and nearby provinces.

The company will be importing paring machines, dryers, and laboratory equipment worth P430 million from Sri Lanka, India, and Singapore, respectively.

“The project exploits the country’s competitive advantage in manufacturing and exporting desiccated coconut. Based on the Philippine Coconut Farmers and Industry Roadmap (2021-2040), the Philippines is the world’s largest exporter of desiccated coconut and has the greatest ability to compete in the global market,” the BoI said.

According to the BoI, the Philippines has the largest land area planted to coconut and the second-largest coconut output in the world, accounting for 23.4% of global production.

It added that the project will support one of the goals of the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan, which is to promote integrated processing systems to optimize use of the produce.

“In 2020, the total volume of desiccated coconut exported in the world (was) 438,052 MT. The Philippines sits at the top with 147,000 MT of desiccated coconut exported, representing 33.56% of the world exports, and the country’s top export destinations of desiccated coconut are the US, Netherlands, Australia, the UK, and Russia,” the BoI said.

“Coconut is the second largest crop in the country in terms of area planted at 3.6 million hectares in 2020, or approximately 26% of the country’s total agricultural land.

The Philippines represents 26.8% of global coconut exports which are valued at $229.79 million annually,” it added.

Regions VI, VIII and CARAGA were also recognized for sustained excellent performance with all their ECs consistently rated AAA. Region Ill was deemed the most improved region with all of its 14 ECs rated AAA for the first time.

NEA said from 2019, the number of ECs classified as mega-large increased to 79 from 72 while ECs classified as extra large fell to 22 from 28. Large ECs declinedto 14 from 17.

ECs classifid as medium and

small were unchanged at two and four, respectively.

NEA said the performance assessment for 2020 was delayed due to the pandemic.

The farmer who dumped the tomatoes was identified as Lod Guinayon of Kinati, Barangay Alanib, Lantapan town who was supposedly selling his 56 boxes of tomatoes – which is equivalent to 1,400 kilograms – to Westbound Public Market in Barangay Bulua in Cagayan de Oro City.

The DA-10 said the department continuously provides logistics support and facilities through its “Kadiwa ni Ani at Kita” to the local government units (LGUs), farmer cooperatives and associations which include the LGU Lantapan.

Carlene Collado, the DA10 regional executive director, urged farmer cooperatives and associations to coordinate with their respective Agriculture Office and to the DA-10, and participate in its program and projects that would capacitate and link them to proper market linkages.

The June headline print brought inflation in the first half to an average of 4.4%, above the central bank’s 2–4% target but still lower than its 5% forecast for this year.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, the Bureau of the Treasury raised P35 billion as planned from its offer of reissued sevenyear T-bonds. The bonds, which have a remaining life of three years and seven months, attracted P56.236 billion in bids.

Accepted yields for the paper ranged between 5.6% and 5.999%, with the average rate settling at 5.908%. This was 117.6 bps higher than the 4.732% average yield fetched for the tenor when it was last auctioned on Jan. 21, 2020.

“The currently elevated USD/PHP exchange rate isn’t also helping sentiment for peso bonds as it could also add to local inflationary pressures,” the bond trader said.

“It also looks like the US Federal Reserve will continue to be aggressive on its rate hike plans following the release of FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) minutes that Fed officials are open to a more restrictive monetary policy stance to tame inflation,” the bond trader added.

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Felipe M. Medalla last week said the central bank is prepared to raise its policy rate by 50 bps at its Monetary Board meeting on Aug. 18 as the peso hit the P56 level against the dollar on Thursday.

The peso hit another near 17-year low on Thursday after closing at P56.03 against the dollar. It was the weakest performance of the local unit against the greenback since the P56.30 against

the dollar on Sept. 27, 2005. It was also 39 centavos shy of the record low of P56.45 to a dollar on Oct. 14, 2004.

This week, the bond trader sees GS yields continuing to trade higher amid a lack of catalysts.

“If the 75-bp US Fed hike actually happens, the BSP’s policy rate will be on a par with that of the US Fed’s at the 2.5% level, barring any off-cycle rate hike by the BSP as its next policy rate meeting is scheduled on Aug. 18,” the trader said.

Mr. Liboro also expects rates to trend gradually higher, with the sevenyear bond auction on Tuesday seen as the main driver of trading activity this week.

“Current indications project market demand in the 6.80-7% area. Given expectations that inflation has yet to hit its peak for the year and more hawkish rhetoric from the BSP recently, we expect upward pressure on rates to persist over the month.

However, at the 7% area we see longer-term value on the tenor and expect decent demand at the level,” Mr. Liboro added.

her kin. It took several years of struggles and protests by the tenant farmers, not a few of whom were mercilessly killed.

Chief Justice Renato Corona who decided in favor of the farmers was later impeached by members of Congress and convicted by the centurions in the Senate.

Among the first “victims” of PD 27 was Danding Cojuangco, perceived to be a crony of Marcos, and Conrado Estrella, the 1st Secretary of the Department of Agrarian Reform. Their lands were among the first to be placed under operation land transfer (OLT). Cojuangco who has a nose for agriculture swapped his landholdings in Tarlac with a chunk of land in Bugsuk Island off the coast of Palawan. There he put up a nursery for what was a prolific coconut breed that can produce 5 tons of copra meat compared to the over-aged endemic Philippine variety that could only yield barely one ton.

Marcos wanted to help coconut farmers to be productive and he came to know of the new breed that was a cross of African tall from the Ivory Coast of Africa and Malaysian dwarf called Mawa.

The Catigan “bilaka” of Davao City is just like Mawa.

The seedlings were given free to farmers. In Davao del Sur, Cojuangco himself bought 1,000 hectares of what was then known as the Christensen Estate.

He planted this with coconuts intercropped with cacao. The prolific dwarf coconuts started bearing fruits in less than five years but not in Visayas as it cannot withstand typhoons. The fruits of cacao were something I have never seen before as they were so big like four times in size compared to the native variety. The plantation employed more than 200 farm

laborers. Sadly, the plantation was ordered sequestered by the Cory government. In less than a year, what used to be a successful agricultural venture deteriorated by utter neglect.

PCGG successfully annihilated the 1,000 hectares of coconut and cacao plantations and left more than 200 breadwinners without jobs.

Indeed what happened in the land reform program of the government had impacted on the food security of the country and even in our history.

Ella Cruz, an actress, stumbled on a sensitive issue when she referred to history as “tsismis” or gossip. Truly, historical facts are either stonewalled or buried in oblivion people merely indulge in gossips because much of the truths cannot be confirmed for so much had been twisted, revised and passed on as facts.

said: “Honey, I hope you’ll find someone to love you as much as I have loved you.” As her husband began to weep, she said: “It’s OK, dear. While I’ve been in the hospital I have learned that a moment of true happiness is a lifetime, and I have had a lot of happiness.”

That is character and courage rising to the challenge. To give your life to loving others and your Creator is what life is all about. Jesus will enable you to take whatever problems and pain are thrown at you and use them to grow and live a life full of love, truth, peace, power, and purpose.

From this day forward, won’t you choose to live your Maker’s way?

Jesus will always be with you to guide and strengthen you to rise to every single challenge you face—big or small. Just think a minute . . .

firms to the RTO last April, Santos Knight Frank has also seen an increase in activity in the office market.

“Second quarter was the first quarter for many employees to return to the office. With that, we also saw an increase in leasing activity for the first time in a while,” Santos Knight Frank senior director for occupier strategy and solutions Morgan McGilvray said in a press conference.

However, vacancy rate in April to June 2022 period has remained high at 23 percent as 228,500 square meters of office spaces were added in Metro Manila in the second quarter of the year.

“Lastly, the Philippines, as with India, South Korea, Singapore, and most of Asia, is likely to see a greater rate of RTO for employees than the rate in developed Western economies.

RTO in the Philippines is a result of both the office culture and the needs of its BPO occupiers,” the consultancy firm said. (PNA)
