Redesign of telecom network key to climate change response: Smart exec SMART Communications Inc. said it has strengthened its network infrastructure to provide vital communication services even during extreme weather disturbances.

During a conference hosted by the Partnerships for Disaster and Climate Resilience on Tuesday, Smart head of technology Rolando G. Peña said the company has redesigned its cell towers to withstand stronger winds.

Furthermore, the comp any has deploye d super-sized base stations with back-up power systems to cover wider areas.

Smart has also adopted an overlapping umbrella network coverage deployment strategy in heavily populated areas so subscribers will have contiguous signal even if some base stations go down.

If a base station goes down temporarily, nearby base stations have the capability to comp ensate for and boost signal so that service disr uption experienced by subscribers is kept to minimum.

Peña said Smart drew l e s s ons f rom Ty ph o on Yolanda, whose record-strong winds toppled power lines, knocked down buildings and flattened entire villages, claiming over 6,000 lives.

“Resiliency has been always part of our network design but after Typhoon Yolanda, we looked into ways to further improve and adopt.

We mapped out critical areas around the country and started reconfiguring our facilities for even greater geographic redundancy – which meant setting up more

robust fallback systems so that we continue to provide affected areas with voice, text and data services,” Peña said. “ We k n o w t h a t a simple call, text or online communication could equate to relief or assistance for affected individuals,” he said.

Smart parent Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co (PLDT) had earmarked P32 bi l lion for capit a l exp enditures this year, including investments to strengthen its transmission and access networks in anticipation of climate change.

Besides these adjustments, Smar t is re ady to rol l out Quick Deploy Telco Systems and will continue to leverage on partnerships with government agencies

and organizations, such as Telecoms Sans Frontieres and the Vodafone Foundation, in providing interim communications solutions to affected communities.

“What we need to have are new mindsets about how to deal with extreme events like Yolanda. That’s because climate change is here and the Philippines is the frontlines,” Peña said.

With the largest 4G network in the country, Smart has over 10,000 4G broadband stations serving 1,465 of the country’s major municipalities and cities.

Smart’s resilient network design enabled the telco to remain largely operational even during the height of Typhoon Glenda, which directly hit Bicol, Southern Luzon and Metro Manila.

Pancake House to change corporate name to Max’s Group PANCAKE House Inc. is changing its name to reflect the consolidation of the Max’s Group of Companies’ assets under the listed firm.

Teaching strategies towards effective learning FIBECO 32ND ANNUAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEMBERSHIP

By Blue R. dela Cerna Teacher-III Upper Montol Elementary School Upper Montol, Bonifacio, Misamis Oriental

The main aim of teaching is to instill lessons to students that are beneficial to them.

These learnings are given first through theories and ideas.

The schools, most of them, are already enveloped in modernization. This is because each student has mind that evolves through time, making it challenging to educators. In result, educators tend to modernize teaching methods as well.

Different methods are used in teaching, not just to upgrade their forms of doing so, but also to attract student attention considered

as hard to achieve sometimes of most teachers.

Multimedia presentation is one of those strategies. It is through using gadgets such as computers or laptops. This is considered as an effective tool of teaching. Under this method is through using slideshows, videos or movies.

Internet exploration is another modern method.

It uses the benefits given by the internet. There are situations like a teacher will just provide a web link and students will simply read and familiarize content. This form of teaching encourage

independent learning to the students.

Small group discussions is also considered as modernized teaching. It is different from the rest for it does not make use of modern technology but adapts the thinking of modern generation. In this technique, students are required to form a group and let them discuss a topic among themselves. Method like this could also boost confidence and self-trust of the students.

Defining teaching methods that are appropriate for the kind of students one has is very important. In this way, teaching lessons to students will be efficient and as well as, effective.

The destructing effects of bullying in schools

By Aileen Rosario G. Pilapil Teacher-I Camp Allere Elementary School District of Salvador Division of Lanao del Norte

Conflicts are just normal in an environment where varying personalities reside.

However, fact be told, there are conflicts that can cause problems that are long-term and worse, destructing.

Bullying is one of these.

Bullying is an improper activity of students in schools.

It commonly occurs in physical for like punching, pushing, kicking, hazing, school pranks, fighting and teasing. It could also in emotional form that include belittling, saying hurtful sentences, pretending the victim is non-existent, ignoring person on purpose, making fun of certain person, keeping a person out of a group and spreading rumors about a certain person, among others.

In a study done by a

research group American Psychological Association, bullying could happen to anyone regardless of his grade level, socio-economic status, gender, religion or sexual orientation.

This improper practice could cause long term impact to both bullied person and bullies.

Bullied person could feel depression and anxiety as a result of being a victim of bullies. There is also big possibility of increased feelings of sadness and loneliness, that would result to changes in sleep and eating patterns and loss of interest in doing things he used to be interested at.

To bullies, on the other hand, the effect of bullying to him may worsen up to having violent and other

risky behaviors until in his adulthood. Eventually, he could involve himself into alcohol abuse, fights, vandalizing prop er ties, s cho ol drop out, e arly sexual activity engagement, criminal convictions and traffic citations. As adult, he could be also harmful to his romantic partners, spouse or children.

Education department plays a big role in preventing bullying activities in schools that are threat to children in all levels. Bullying is a serious problem that should be address soonest as possible.

S c h o o l a d m i n i s t r at i o n should conduct intervention programs and prevention strategies. It is better to stop bullies before they start.

B u l l y i n g a c t i v it y i s harmful and threat to human success for it damages mental, emotional and physical health of the students. Thus, it should be stopped before it start.

The President’s Message I am truly privileged to extend my warm greetings to the entire cooperative community of FIBECO in the occasion of our 32nd Annual General Membership Assembly.

It is my great honor to serve our beloved cooperative especially in these highly competitive times overwhelming the power sector industry.

With the advent of Republic Act (RA) No. 10531 otherwise known as the National Electrification Administration Reform Act of 2013, Electric Cooperatives (EC) throughout the country are grappling with an enormous challenge of “keeping up” with the exacting standards set forth in the law. As aptly provided for in section 9 thereof, “a cooperative is vested with all the powers necessary or convenient for the accomplishment of its CORPORATE PURPOSE xxx such powers shall include but not limited to: (a) construct, acquire, own, operate and maintain sub-transmission lines; (b) engage in power generation within its franchise area through (i) construction of embedded generating facility in accordance with cross ownership and market share standards, (ii) acquisition of privately-owned generating facility or government-owned generating facility in the main grid”.

While cooperatives do not function like typical consumerbased companies, they should pick up relevant lessons from these entities owing to the mandate of RA 10531 which encourages the ECs to upgrade into corporate type of management and operations.

We do not need to look far and wide to learn for ourselves lessons in corporate governance.

Striving to reach our roadmap, FIBECO has reinvented itself using innovative strategies to meet the current demands and challenges in the electricity industry.

In FIBECO, our current management structure had already put into practice such corporate management long before the passage of the law. In fact, our cooperative has become a show-window to some of the best leadership and operational strategies adopted which made it a favorite benchmarking destination among other electric cooperatives in the country today.

Our cooperative has attained its present status because of your support and participation.

We are proud of our success which evidently adds to the foundation from which our future achievements will rise. Indeed, it is true pleasure to serve as the President of your duly elected

Board of Directors. Your leaders comprising the August Body are dedicated in continually striving to achieve the goals and roadmap of FIBECO. They are serving their district constituency through the guiding principles embodied in our cooperative culture of generosity, palabra de honor, thrift, hardwork, honesty, discipline and teamwork.

This annual assembly is also an opportunity for our institution to find solutions to the challenges and concerns that we are currently facing in the power sector. Let this event be a reaffirmation of the excellence and integrity that our Board, Management and Staff and most of all, our member-consumers have committed upon themselves in raising the banner of FIBECO into greater heights.

For all that these successes meant, let this be the most meaningful Annual General Membership Assembly---so far.

The uses of computer towards the teaching of Mathematics

By Dante M. Alboroto MT-I Placida Mequiabas National High School Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte

Mathematics is a school subject that encourages more research and exploration. Thus, computer, being a machine which prime use is to provide information is a great use to teaching Math.

In a book written by education researcher Suppes, he said that computer changes the face of education. His view implies that students could learn without any help from others through computer.

Another researcher Seymor Papert also argued the same, but different to Suppes, Papert advocated that the use of computer is used not as a teaching machine but as a device to further put more understanding to what a teacher has introduced before his class. Computers develop learner’s intellectual skills through writing their own programs to direct the computer.

For an instance, there are these spreadsheets such as excel, computer algebra systems, databases and communication facilities.

These are the tools used for educational computing. These tools analyze and process words and numbers programmed by a student and suggest results.

Mathematical association also enumerated uses of spreadsheets to mathematical education. These include drawing graphs and giving comparisons, finding the second and thirds roots of numbers through iteration, finding for instance, length of the inside edge of cubicle box given the volume numerically, calculating the area under a curve, introducing the function concept and solving differential equations, among others.

Fact be told, technologies are made in order to make life easier and more comfortable.

Computers are not exception on that. In the given example, through the use of spreadsheets data handling can be done in a minimum amount of time and effort, allowing the students interact with the data focus on the interpretation of it. Hence, children can understand data more easily. They can get rid of many unnecessary calculations which inhibit the learning of main objectives of a Mathematics lesson, the mathematical concepts.

It is also helpful to teachers.

Through spreadsheets, grades could be solved in no time allowing the teacher to give more time in teaching inside the classrooms.

Computers indeed contribute great in mathematical education. The same to what mathematician Dr. Emin Aydin said, although not having been able to solve all of the problems of education by itself, this powerful machine, no doubt, will continue to occupy a very central place in education.

How to Debate with Your Mate

T

hink a minute…A wise marriage counselor asks every couple wanting to get married if they have had a real argument yet. Often they answer: “Oh, no! We love each other. We never fight!”

This marriage counselor tells every couple to fight first before they get married.

He says that when couples disagree, they must learn to listen and understand each other’s feelings so they can solve their differences and forgive each other each time they disagree.

A very important skill in building a happy marriage and life together is learning how to debate with your mate.

But there are rules you must follow to have a fair, good debate, so you will still be close friends afterwards.

First, before you start, both of you should agree to stick only to that issue. Don’t bring up past problems and hurts.

Second, remember that your goal is not to win the argument, but to understand each other’s feelings. In other words, TUNE IN. Really listen to what each other is thinking and feeling. Try to understand how you are causing them to feel hurt or wronged. Put yourself in their place and see things from their side. Remember,

THINK

A Minute

By Jhan Tiafau Hurst

feelings are not right or wrong, but they are very real to your mate. So how your wife or husband feels should be important to you.

Third, never argue and talk about personal, private matters in front of other people. Number four, stop the fight if either of you loses control of your anger or words.

And the final rule on how to debate with your mate is TONE DOWN. This means we must try to stay calm, kind and gentle. They say that 90% of the tension and anger in families is caused by the wrong tone of voice.

Many times it’s not what we say, but how we say it. What we say may be right, but how we say it is wrong. We need to kindly and gently say how hurst/PAGE 11

never trust someone above 30!

B

orn in 1953, I started my life at a period, when more babies have been entering the German population than never before. As I said: 1953.

Nowadays it looks very much different.

World War II, more or less the end of the world -as my late grandmother mostly described that time -has ended.Of course, even difficult to believe, it was not the end of everything.

The world economic crises changed into another economical world wonder.

During the 1960s, we looked upon the youth culture of Woodstock as a symbol of the power of music, the pursuit of self expression, the values of peace (!), love (!) and community (!), and the rejection of “the establishment” - even in the midst of torrential rain and

an aftermath of food-deep mud.

I enjoyed our flower power peace generation with long hair. Yes, I confess, many times, I was really cynical about my parents’ values and rejected anything that suggest tradition.

By the way, that’s one thing, which can be observed also in the Philippines since several years. The slogan “Never trust someone above 30” had to be abandoned since I crossed that divide myself.

Now, hopefully at the second half of my present life, “30” looks impossibly young. Once upon a time... . And guys, let’s be honest to ourselves: aren’t we facing the same realities our parents did before?

Raising families, needs to pay school, rent, water, electricity et cetera et cetera? We have held fiercely to freethinking

and the untraditional ways our parents - shaped by the “depression”, World War II, and much more - yes, never had the luxury to feel.

Those of us who have made good money hold fewer illusions like a big house and a Mercedes (or any other brand!) in the garage. Items of likely bringing happiness?

But guys, what seems most precious to us nowadays? I experienced everything. Even earnings via a job, I didn’t like. Painful - but I didn’t get another choice. Again: once upon a time. But, isn’t it much more painful waiting jobless for nothing while being fed by a friend?

Failed marriages, difficult mid-life attempts, something that might pass away a family, yes, I think, we all kn ow the rarity of solid and long living relationships with a partner

or friends, with children or difficult and hard to find friends and possible business partners.

We may even dare to speak the language that 30 or 40 years ago would have seemed “uncool”. Call it God or describe it as spiritually, but it would probably be the quest for the sense of life, the hope and the faith, that one exsists.

“PNoy, A Cancer That Must Be Removed”

L

IFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…`I will make mere youths their officials; children will rule over them’...” (Isaiah 3:4, the Holy Bible).

-ooo “PNOY, A CANCER IN OUR MIDST WHICH MUST BE REMOVED”: From Facebook, a post by Ado Paglinawan: “What happens when the insane runs the asylum? BS Aquino must go now before he destroys our Constitutional democracy.

As we speak, he has become a bull in a china shop.

Impeachment? Remove this cancer from our midst, by whatever means possible.”

-ooo PNOY BEING CHILDISH, AND BIBLE’S WARNINGS: Sen. Sergio Osmena III is right: President Aquino is “disrespectful and childish” in his rants against the Supreme Court, confirming the charge of former Sen. Joker Arroyo that Aquino’s government is a “student council” government---or a government of mere children.

But, did not God, in Isaiah 3:4, warn us that He will

make mere children and the youth a country’s leaders if the people are sinful, and are no longer listening to, nor obeying, His Word?

We must be warned indeed: Isaiah 1 to 3 speak not only about children being made officials of government, but also of God depriving people who have turned their backs on Him with food, water, and all supply---a deprivation that is happening to the Filipino nation, even now! We must all wake up, while there is time!!!

-ooo DID RP BENEFIT FROM TESDA’S P1.6 B DAP? In celebrating the 150th birth anniversary of Apolinario Mabini in Tanauan City, Batangas on July 23, 2014, Pre s i d e nt Aqu i no s ai d there were three projects that benefitted from his “disbursement acceleration program” or DAP, portions of w h i ch t he Supre me Court recently declared as unconstitutional.

The first of these projects were the P1.6 billion given to the Technical Education Skills

Development Authority or TESDA to train some 223,615 students. But has the President heard the reports that, before any school is to be accredited for this training, it has to agree to shell out some P20,000.00 per student first? Multiplying 223,615 by P20,000.00, this results to a whooping P4.4 billion going to someplace else, right?

-ooo PROJECT NOAH, A FAILURE: The second project which Aquino said benefited from his DAP was the Project NOAH, or the Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards. This project aims to spare Filipinos from death and destruction from impending typhoons and other natural calamities. But, did the nation really benefit from Project NOAH, especially if we take into account Typhoons Yolanda and Glenda?

In Glenda alone, some 100 Filipinos died, despite the “zero-casualty program” of the Aquino government, some 55,000 homes were destroyed, and about P8 billion crop-damage was

sustained by farmers in the affected areas. Surely, with death and destruction from Glenda as grave as these, can we really say that DAP benefitted the countr y?

Indeed, Project NOAH is one big failure!

-ooo GO TO EL NID O & CORON, MR. PRESIDENT: Then, the President also boasted that DAP funded the construction of some 66 roads leading to tourist destinations in the Philippines. I really do not know whether this claim is true or not, but then, DAP did not benefit the long stretch batas/PAGE 11

Prepare to be a Sacrificial Lamb

T

o be very realistic in life, we have to be ready and eager to become a sacrificial lamb. This is not bad news.

This is Good News. Let me explain.

Our problem is that, unfortunately, the expression, sacrificial lamb, has suffered a g re at d i m i nut i on of appreciation in the world today. It is simply considered in the context of practical advantages and disadvantages of a given situation.

Obviously, with that frame of mind and only and exclusively with that attitude without any other higher consideration, no one would like to be a sacrificial lamb. Even the commonest

of common sense would be averse to that idea. Everyone would like to flee from that predicament as much as possible.

But the phenomenon of sacrificial lamb actually has a very wonderful significance.

Our Christian faith tells us that given who and what we are, we have been taught right from the beginning of humanity, that we need to offer a sacrifice as a way of expressing and affirming the truth that we come from God and we also belong to him.

God, our Father and Creator, has been the one who teaches us about this duty. He has also equipped us in our nature so that we

can comply with this duty that only shows the intimate relation we have with God. In short, God, who is love, has been teaching us, who are his image and likeness, how to love.

This whole business of offering sacrifices is actually the language of love. It acts out the dynamics of love which is that of mutual self-giving between the lover and the beloved. Each party becomes both lover and beloved in the ideal state of love.

In the beginning, the sacrifice was made by offering things. This started, when man was still in the state of original justice, as something easy and spontaneous to do.

But with the entry of sin, this offering of sacrifice became more and more difficult and complicated to do.

In spite of sin, God continued in the flow of cimagala/PAGE 11

Cebu Pacific and Tigerair Make Progress With Interline Agreement

Cebu Pacific and Tigerair, the two largest lowcost carriers in the Philippines and Singapore respectively, have made further progress on their interline agreement with the first interline flights available for sale on the Tigerair website from 23 July 2014. Tigerair flights will be available on Cebu Pacific's website from September 2014. With the interline agreement facilitating both domestic and international collaboration between both airlines, Cebu Pacific and Tigerair have created the biggest network of flights from the Philippines to the region.

The interline agreement is part of a wideranging strategic alliance entered into between the two carriers earlier this year and will enable both airlines to leverage their respective strengths to enhance their network coverage and jointly market interline routes. Travellers can enjoy seamless connections between the two airlines, with easy one-stop ticketing for connecting flights and baggage check-in. The ability to cross-book flights on a single itinerary will pave the way for greater connectivity between the two carriers, allowing customers to connect seamlessly within Asia Pacific and the Middle East.

Specifically, Tigerair's customers will be able to fly from South East Asia to 34 Philippine cities, Korea and Japan on Cebu Pacific's network, and Cebu Pacific's customers in the Philippines will be able to add Tigerair's destination calls

in Australia (via Perth), India, and China to their flight itineraries. Customers on such extended itineraries will be able to connect through Singapore Changi Airport and Ninoy Aquino International Airport in the Philippines.

Chief Operating Officer of Tigerair, Mr Ho Yuen Sang said, "The interline arrangement harnesses the strengths and networks of Tigerair and Cebu Pacific. We look forward to offering greater convenience to customers with the increased flight frequencies, enlarged network and more seamless options for both business and leisure travel."

President and CEO of Cebu Pacific Air, Mr. Lance Gokongwei said, "Together with Tigerair, we are proud to offer the largest, most extensive low cost network to and from the Philippines. Tigerair's network reinforces Cebu Pacific's strong presence in Asia, and expands our network with new destinations in Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Maldives and Thailand. We look forward to offering our trademark low fares and fun flights to both Cebu Pacific and Tigerair customers."

Customers who wish to purchase connecting Cebu Pacific flights can do so from 23 July on Tigerair's website. Tigerair connecting flights will be made available for booking on Cebu Pacific's website (www. cebupacificair.com) from September.

Tabor said the suspect, Melvin Pacaña, refused to talk to him although he already made a verbal statement to Senior Inspector Dick Cale, Caraga police CIDG chief, admitting released more or less 1,800 sacks of NFA rice worth P2.4 million to “unknown traders” without proper authorization.

The committee however made a bag-to-bag inventory and found out there was an actual 1,890 sacks of rice that went missing.

Last July 18, Cale and officials of NFA Agusan del Sur inspected about 9,000 sacks of NFA rice only to find out that 1,800 sacks went missing.

The police then discovered that the missing rice sacks were replaced with 133 pieces of decoy wooden crates covered with empty rice sacks.

The police then discovered that the missing rice sacks were replaced with 133 pieces of decoy wooden crates covered with empty rice sacks.

Tabor said they will deploy a team to conduct a “palengke watch” in the public markets in the province who will be tasked to monitor rice dealers and even make a daily inventory to the number of sacks left in their stocks before they will close the stores.

“It is more likely that the unscrupulous trader would sell the rice at high commercial prices to the detriment of the consumers,” Tabor said.

The public will just have to log on to www.dpwh.gov. ph/dots, click on “Search here,” then enter pertinent information, including the tracking system transaction code.

He said that the system will then provide the latest status of the transaction, including the routing, current processing stage, date and time received and sent by the processing offices, and target dates of completion on each process.

The new system would be time and cost-efficient to monitor the processing, since instead of travelling to the DPWH offices, one could now check the works progress in the comfort of homes and offices, Tolentino said.

He said that DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson has ordered the development of the DPWH web-based portal online tracking system to address bureaucratic delays, and transparency by allowing the DPWH transaction documents available online to the public. (PNA)

The new shares will be taken out of a pending increase in Pancake House’s authorized capital stock from P400 million to P1.40 billion, subject to the approval of the Securities and Exchange

Commission.

In February, the Max’s Group completed the takeover of Pancake House, acquiring 89.95 percent of the listed firm’s outstanding capital stock to become the biggest player in the local casual dining restaurant category.

Pancake House’s firstquarter profit fell to P29.680 million from last year’s P40.553 million, as the 6 percent increase in expenses outpaced the 3.5 percent growth in revenue.

time to tutor humanity about this duty of making sacrifices. This process of divine tutelage passed through tumultuous route g i v e n m a n’s w o u n d e d condit ion. A l l s or ts of resistance and rejection, distortion and confusion, tended to empty the meaning of sacrifice.

But God persisted by sending us his only Son who became the perfect and ultimate sacrifice, the true sacrificial lamb, who out of completely gratuitous love, and without deserving to suffer in any way, assumed all our sin, died to them and offered us a way to reconcile ourselves with God in a perfect way.

It was John the Baptist who pointed out Jesus to us, calling him the Lamb of God. “Behold, the lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world.” (Jn 1,29) Christ is the one who bore all the sins of man, showing us the way of perfect love.

We have to understand from all this that the life and death of Christ, especially the supreme sacrifice of his life on the cross, should be the model and motive of our life and death as well.
