Its embassy in Manila said the assistance would be channeled through the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

“Taking the strong bilateral ties between Japan and the Philippines into consideration, which are re-affirmed by Prime Minister Abe and President (Rodrigo) Duterte on a number of occasions, Japan has decided to extend the humanitarian grant aid to support the affected population in Mindanao,” it said in a statement.

Flow of goods in Normin remains stable: BOC-10 www.businessweekmindanao.com

HE f l ow of go o ds and services has remained stable in Northern Mindanao amid the implementation of Martial Law. If at all, military rule has even created a stable environment for peace and order that encouraged importers to ship their goods in the region, said Alvin Enciso, chief of BOC-10’s Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS).

President Rodrigo Duterte declared martial law on May 23 following the siege of Marawi City of an ISIS- inspired extremist group that has resulted to the displacement of thousands of residents and the death of hundreds of civilians.

The installation of checkpoints, specifically in highways that cut through the cities of Iligan and Cagayan de Oro, has been perceived as advantageous by the importers since their cargoes pass through these highly secured areas, said Enciso.

Collection figures are also up since Martial Law was imposed, Enciso said, adding that “even our imports have gone up.”

In June, the Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT) sub-port in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, where the bulk of the imported materials arrive from other countries, recorded a collection of P811.23 million, or 12.50 percent increase from its P721.11 million target, said Samson Pacasum, the port collector.

The MCT is one of the sea ports under the jurisdiction and management stable/PAGE 11

more “safety nets” for workers who might be displaced as a result of t he cont inuing crackdown against

labor contractualization.

Ford Philippines Kicks off 10th Year of Driving Skills for Life Program Ford Philippines recently kicked off the 10th year of its global Ford Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) program, a United Nations-recognized training initiative that educates drivers about smart and safe driving skills to help minimize road accidents and promote fuel-efficient driving.

The kick-off of this year’s DSFL coincides with the implementation of the Department of Transportation’s AntiDistracted Driving Law, which similar to Ford’s DSFL, aims to promote safe and disciplined driving among motorists to keep roads and passengers safe.

“We’re proud to be celebrating the 10th of

DSFL in the Philippines, and to continue helping raise awareness about driver and road safety, as well as the dangers of distracted driving,” said EJ Francisco, AVP, Communications, Ford Philippines.

This year, Ford is planning for at least 1,500 drivers to participate in the DSFL training sessions. A specific focus this year will be on public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers such as bus, jeepney, school bus, and taxi drivers, recognizing their role as motorists is critical in ensuring that roads and passenger journeys are safe.

DSFL is also expanding this year to cover key areas and locations nationwide such as Rizal, Pampanga,

Baguio, Batangas, Laguna, Cebu, and Davao.

“We’re expanding the program to reach more drivers around the country and instill the importance of driver discipline and road courtesy,” explained Francisco.

At this year’s kick-off, Ford is partnering with Uber Systems Inc. by

providing DSFL sessions for around 200 Uber drivers from greater Manila.

“We share Ford Philippines’ advocacy for road safety and are happy to take part in this endeavor. We believe this complements our own efforts to promote road ford/PAGE 11

think a minute

jhan tiafau hurst Think a minute.Have you ever stood by a fire when the smoke was so thick you almost thought you could grab it with your hands. But if you try, the smoke just disappears right through your fingers. It’s like that when we try to be humble.

We grab for humility, but as soon as we think we’ve got it, it disappears like smoke through our fingers. You see, we trick ourselves when we start to think that we’re humble, because in our mind and heart we actually start feeling proud of ourselves that we’re humble. So you see, we’re still very proud.

Our problem is the subtle, deceptive nature of pride.

It makes us self-conscious, thinking about ourselves and how we good we are or look in front of others.

Our pride competes and

compares ourselves with others. That’s why we get angry when someone treats us like we’re not important.

Our pride makes us want to act and impress others with how humble we are, when inside we still think we’re more important than some people. This is also why many people want to become rich millionaires.

You see, if everybody in the world had a million dollars, then not many people would really want to be a millionaire because they would not be richer than anyone else. If everyone in the world had a high political position of respect and power, then not many people would want that kind of position because they would not be more respected and powerful than anyone else.

Did you know that it is our pride which causes most of the problems in our life, whether it’s in our family, at work, school, or with friends and neighbors. Our hidden, tricky pride is the reason we get hurt and angry at others. It’s also the reason we will not forgive them, but instead even try to hurt them back. So is there any hope for us? Can we ever start becoming genuinely honest hurst/PAGE 11

are an arnis expert working there, you will be surprised that you can charge as much as US$100 per session if you mentor the self-defense sport as a sideline.

I am thankful that in this arnis mentoring initiative at Busao, I have partnered with Mr. Evasco who is a like-minded patron in sports. His priority aligns with the country’s pursuit for patriotism as he promotes the sport-art in his hometown.

We envision the barangay to become the hub of arnis experts in the province who can multiply their skills like a virus. With our initiative to redeem this dying art, we hope to see the heirs of Dagohoy truly becoming warriors of change—no longer looking down on themselves as they compare with other nations.

We are not praying for mishaps, but the province of Bohol had just encountered some Abu Sayaff members months ago. Even without guns, the art—practiced with or without sticks or weapons-gives one more chance of survival if confronted with larawan/PAGE 10

Revisiting Balangiga

Member:

A tricky problem

appreciation should not be the basis for defining what is glamorous and otherwise: I teach arnis because I am a Filipino and I understand what makes Filipinos become world-class—and that is not merely copying other people’s ideas.

My goal is to make Boholanos comprehend that as sons and daughters of Dagohoy, they should not just love some foreign ideas—a practice that unwittingly takes away our sense of pride and unity, leading to a lesser capability for an upward trek. Consider that this is a world-renowned martial art shown in box office movies like The Bourne Identity and Taken. Consider that Germany already has a yearly arnis festival; while locally, we do not even showcase such festival every two decades, albeit the much-acclaimed sport-art originates in the Philippines. Know that in many countries, arnis has gained the status of a Basquiat in visual arts or a Manny Pacquiao in boxing.

Try working in the Middle East so you will know. If you

In 1901, the small town of Balangiga in Eastern Samar became famous overnight in America.

Describing the US debacle in Balangiga which transpired the previous day, The Salt Lake Herald in its issue of September 30, 1901 (September 29 in the Philippines} reported “Terrible Defeat at Hands of Filipinos”.

T h e Eve n i ng Wor l d described what happened

at Balangiga as “the most over whelming defeat encountered in the Orient”.

Other reports compared the US debacle at Balangiga to the annihilation of General George Armstrong Custer and his men by the unified tribes of American Indians at Little Big Horn.

About a month earlier, the US Commander in the Visayas moved troops to seal off three Samar key ports – namely, Basey, Balangiga and Guiuan. The objective was to force the end of Filipino resistance by cutting off their flow of supplies.

Company C of the 9th Infantry was assigned to guard Balangiga. The 11th Infantry took up position in Basey.

At around 6 oclock in the morning of September 28, as soldiers of Company C were about to have breakfast, the town folks, led by the chief of

police Valeriano Abanador, attacked the Americans with boloes.

Earlier, men, dressed as women, pre-positioned themselves at the nearby church. They gained entry at the church by carrying coffins of children who died of cholera. Unknown to the Americans, the coffins also concealed bolos.

According to eyewitness accounts, the full-scale attack was signaled by the pealing of the Balangiga church bells and the blowing of conch shells.

Company C suffered 48 dead and scores were wounded. Only 4 survived unscathed. The survivors fled to Basey.

The Filipinos suffered 28 killed and 22 wounded but were able to capture 100 rifles and 25,000 rounds of ammunition.

American retalation was

swift. An American gunboat bombarded Balangiga the following day (September 29). Then, the 11th Infantry in Basey, guided by the American survivors of Balangiga, rushed to the town. They caught and executed 8 Filipinos on the spot at the town plaza. The 11th Infantry then put the church and the whole town of Balangiga to the torch.

The soldiers also took back as “war booty” 3 bells from Balangiga church as well as a 400-year-old British Falcon cannon. One bell, the smallest, is now kept at the 9th Infantry Regiment headquarters in Camp Red Cloud, South Korea. The two other bells and the cannon are now at the 11th Infantry Regiment headquarters at Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Failure of spiritual teaching Kakampi mo ang batas

Batas Mauricio LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge…

Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests… The more priests there were… the more they sinned against me; they exchanged their glorious God… They feed on the sins of my people and relish their

wickedness…” (Hosea 4: 6-8, the Holy Bible).

-ooo FAILURE OF SPIRITUAL TEACHING: One of the most poignant passages in the Bible (Hosea 4) shows God lamenting the lack of knowledge among His own people. Because His people lack knowledge, they perish. “Perish” here means they experience difficult lives while they are here on earth, and are bound for eternal damnation in the life hereafter.

Who did God blame for this? He blamed the priests and the religious leaders.

From God’s point of view, the priests and religious leaders failed to instruct the people about His laws, causing them to sin. Consequently, God’s

punishment is promised by Him, both against the priests and against the people they lead.

Therefore, any Christian aspiring to work for God must endeavor to fully learn God’s laws, and then make these laws known in earnest to the people. This is the true work of Christians---read the Bible, meditate on it, and obey everything that is written in it, and then go and preach to the world, so salvation--against the vagaries of life here on earth and against the never-ending fire and worms of hell---could come to them, too.

-ooo PREACH, OR DIE…: The duties to “go and make disciples of all nations, to baptize them in the Name

of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and to teach them everything that Jesus commanded them to do” are Christian duties that carry a grim penalty if they are not carried out. The Book of Ezekiel (Chapters 3 and 33, in particular) attests to this.

Ezekiel was ordered by God to preach His Word. If he preached God’s Word and people listened and turned away from sin, not only would the sinner be saved, but Ezekiel as well. On the other hand, if he preached the Word of God and yet the people will not stop sinning, the people will perish, but Ezekiel himself will be saved.

If Ezekiel did not obey God’s orders for him to preach the Word, and man batas/PAGE 10

ITSUBISHI Motors Philippines Corp. (MMPC) has kicked off the mass pro du c ti on of Mir age hatchback in the Philippines.

MMPC outgoing president and chief executive officer Yoshiaki Kato led the unveiling of the first Philippine-made Mirage hatchback Thursday evening at the Solaire Resort and Casino in Parañaque City.

Mirage hatchback is

Cebu Landmasters intensifies Visayas expansion Cebu Landmasters Inc (CLI) continues to be bullish in real estate as it widens its foothold in the Visayas where demand for housing, offices and commercial spaces is soaring.

The newly listed company recently acquired a 4.6-he c t are prop er t y in Bogo City, Northern Cebu and will soon unveil projects in Bacolod, SibulanDumaguete, and Iloilo. These acquisitions are all funded from the IPO proceeds.

“We acquire properties with the intent of developing them and giving more for the Filipino family,” disclosed

CLI President and CEO Jose R. Soberano III, who was recently named the “Entrepreneur of the Year” by the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The subdivision project in Bogo City is envisioned to create 700 socialized housing units. It will be the second of the company’s Villa Casita socialized housing series that offers homeowners well-designed homes, wellplanned site development, and sizable green spaces for parks and community facilities traditionally found only in mid-market or upscale developments.

CLI’s first Villa Casita is in Balamban, Cebu, a first-class municipality 64 kilometers away from Cebu City. The property is in the same barangay as West Cebu Industrial Park, a 274-hectare development employing about 14,000 workers mostly from shipbuilding and related support services.

“Many of the workers had to travel to and from Balamban to work. Villa Casita provides them with a home, in simplified living spaces, to enjoy the basic necessities of life while surrounded by nature’s

MiVesa Garden Residences – a new and exciting addition to Cebu’s best selling development (CBRE 2016 (Santos Knight Frank)

element a l b e aut y,” Mr. Soberano said.

CLI is also set to launch within the third quarter of this year an economic housing development on a 6-hectare coastal property in Sibulan, Negros Oriental.

The site is close to the airport and just 15 minutes from the city center of Dumaguete.

The property will feature beautifully designed economic communities in a coastal living with worldclass amenities and open spaces.

A mixed-use property will also be launched on a 1-hectare property located

at the heart of Bacolod City in Negros Occidental. It will be the latest edition of CLI’s fast-selling garden series currently in Cebu City, Davao City and Cagayan de Oro City.

The Cebu-based company also recently purchased a 5-hectare property in Jaro, Iloilo City intended to provide more than 500 economic housing units with facilities and amenities comparable to high-end subdivisions.

Mr. Soberano emphasized, “CLI always has the mindset of adding more to what markets exp ect f rom a

developer.”

“It is the vision of Cebu Landmasters to be the No. 1 local housing developer in the Visayas and Mindanao by 2020,” he added.

CLI’s reservation sales during the first half of the year reached P2.87 billion, almost surpassing t he P2.94 bi l lion tot a l sales registered for the entire 2016. These figures were mostly driven by the company’s 38 Park Avenue condominium project in Cebu IT Park, MesaTierra Garden Residences in Davao City and Casa Mira South in Naga City, Cebu.

Villa Casita socialized housing series offers homeowners well-designed homes, well-planned site development, and sizable green spaces for parks and community facilities traditionally found only in mid-market or upscale developments.

The growing interest against ‘GBV@Work’ comes as the ILO Governing Body finally decided to place a standard setting item (double discussion) on violence and harassment against women and men in the world of work starting at the 107th Session of the ILO in June 2018.

“We have been preparing for this well in advance,” said ITUC-AP General Secretary Shoya Yoshida.

“We gather evidence to support the trade union advocacy and campaign for a comprehensive ILO convention and recommendation on ‘Violence and Harassment

against Women and Men in the World of Work’ - with a strong focus on gender-based violence (including domestic violence),” Yoshida added.

The said meeting took the next step with building and preparing the Asia Pacific national focal points for campaigning around GBV@ Work.

Several sessions reviewed the discussions and decisions of the ILO governing body and the meeting of experts, the ILO law and practice report, walked the participants through the international labor standards and standard setting procedures and other preparatory work.

Participants from Taiwan and Mongolia shared the importance of strengthening t he e vidence b as e d on domestic violence and its impact at work and using the national survey findings to improve protection of women.

The meeting also showcased participants’ experiences and suggestions i n i n c re a s i ng wom e n’s representation in the ILC. Participants gained insights from the sharing of the Philippine tripartite partners on building a unified position on the adoption and violence/PAGE 9

ILIGAN City -- In a simultaneous Operation Ti m b a n g a n i n s p e c t i on conducted by the Local Price Coordinating Council (LPCC) of Iligan City, spearheaded by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), a total of 136 weighing scales without valid sticker were seized in Pala-o and Central Markets and nearby areas, this city.

Aside from ensuring the safety and security of the residents amidst the Marawi crisis, LPCC chairperson Mayor Celso G. Regencia of Iligan wants the buying public to feel the active presence of the government in protecting consumers from unscrupulous business

establishments through the LPCC. Operation Timbangan was also conducted due to the significant number of verbal complaints recently from consumers on purchases involving the utilization of weighing scales in spite of the presence of Timbangan ng Bayan facility to verify the grams or kilograms of goods bought, or items to be handled like in laundry stations, said Provincial Director Ruel B. Paclipan of Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)- Lanao del Norte Provincial Office.

OFW fund hiked to P1B

T

HE National G o v e r n m e nt h a s more than doubled the O vers e as Fi lipino Workers (OFW) fund from P400 million to P1 billion, according to ACTS-OFW partylist Rep. John Bertiz III. B ertiz welcomed the approval of the increased budget. “We have been requesting for P1 billion but unfortunately it was vetoed by the past administration,” B ertiz saidduring the “Usapang Balita Media Forum” held at the Quezon Memorial Circle Thursday.

Bertiz indicated that the additional funds may be used to address the needs of migrant Filipino workers who are languishing in prison or on death row.

Citing the case of Jakatia Pawa, who was executed in Kuwait last January, Bertiz explained that it would now be possible to hire lawyers as in the case of Pawa who maintained her innocence until she was executed in Kuwait last January.

B ertiz also proposes the creation of a 24/7 legal attaches in host countries to respond to the legal needs of

Peso predicted to reach 52-level vs. greenback AN analyst forecasts the Philippine peso to weaken beyond the government’s 48-50 target range for 2017 but considers this as still okay as long as depreciation is not beyond 10 percent.

Emilio S. Neri Jr., vice president and lead economist of Ayala-led Bank of the Philippine Island (BPI) projects the peso to end the year at 52.50, way beyond the range set by the country’s economic managers.

By end-2018, the economist projects the peso to be at the 54-level to a greenback.

Neri has repeatedly said that a 52 to a dollar level for the local currency this year and beyond is not bad at all because this will make the local unit more competitive against the other currencies.

“We think (that) as long as annual depreciation is less than 10 percent it’s ok as it will unlikely lead to unmanageable inflation,” he told PNA in an e-mail message.

In the first half of 2017, rate of price increases averaged at 3.1 percent, slightly above the mid-point of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) two to four percent target range for 2017-20.

Last June alone, inflation decelerated further to 2.8 percent from month-ago’s 3.1 percent and after peaking so far this year at 3.4 percent last March and April.

The central bank continues to see manageable inflation ahead, with the 2017 figure seen to average at 3.1 percent and lower to three percent in the next two years.

Traders have said that central bank’s presence in the foreign exchange market is seen as if the peso is depreciating.

Philippine monetar y officials said it does not meddle with the foreign exchange rate in the country

given its market-determined exchange rate policy although the BSP joins in the trading but only to address extreme volatility.

This foreign exchange operation is among the reasons for the decline in the country’s gross international reserve (GIR).

“Failure to depreciate w h e n c u r re nt a c c o u nt position swings from surplus to deficit can mean BSP is selling its GIR inventory too fast,” Neri said.

The Philippines’ current account (CA) position is now in deficit, after more than a decade of surpluses, because o f h i g h e r i mp o r t at i o n to meet rising domestic demand.

BSP data show that in the first quarter of 2017, the CA component of the balance of payment (BOP), or the sum of a country’s total transactions with the rest of the world, registered a deficit of USD318 million, which is equivalent of 0.4 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP).

Monetary and economic officials as well as analysts said this turn-around is not bad because the higher i mp o r t at i o n i s d u e t o domestic expansion and is met by strong fundamentals and strong foreign exchange reserves.

Central bank data show that as of end-June 2017, the country’s foreign exchange reser ves amounted to USD81.41 billion, enough to cover 8.7 months’ worth of imports of goods and payments of services and primary income.

It is also equivalent to 5.6 times the country’s shortterm foreign debt.

Economic and monetary officials said a country is considered to have a healthy GIR level if it is enough for its three months requirements.

Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW). ” We are hoping that with the establishment of legal assistance in the host countries, we will be better prepared unlike in the past where the only time our government acted was when the execution date was near,” Bertiz said.

The congressman lamented the fact that there were other cases similar to Pawa but due to the lack of funds of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the government was not able to provide legal assistance.

Bertiz, however, clarified that the PHP1 billion could not be used for repatriations because the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) already has a fund to take care of financial concerns of documented OFWs.

”The PHP1B fund can also be used for the research on how we can be able to strengthen the reintegration program of our OFWs. Thousands of undocumented workers were sent home from Saudi Arabia. Many have also lost their jobs in Kuwait. What we need is to identify those talents and skills that we can utilize for the country’s ‘Build, build, build’ initiative,” Beriz said.

Since many of these displaced workers are skilled professionals like engineers and train technicians, Bertiz suggested that these are exactly the kind of workforce the country needs to solve the problem of bogged-down trains and other problems. ”This is precisely why we need to create a Department of Filipinos Overseas. We are 10 million strong including their families. Most of the

OFWs in those countries helped in their development.

Long before they became developed, OFWs were already there,” Bertiz said.

Bertiz also indicated that the Congress will scrutinize where the previous budget allotted to the DFA was actually used. Congress will also require that the DFA submit an itemized proposal on where they intend to use the P1 billion budget.

Meanwhile, Congress is in the process of writing the Rightsizing Bill whereby redundant agencies of the government will be scrapped to better increase efficiency and improve services while at the same time, generate savings for the government. ”We will be able to save more money,” Bertiz said.

“There are a lot of agencies funded by the government that are redundant in function

and of little use to our OFWs like the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), Commission on Overseas Filipinos (CFO) and social welfare attaches of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and OWWA,” he added.

Dissolving these redundant agencies will result in a savings of P7-8 billion annually, according to Bertiz. At the same time, a department dedicated to Filipinos overseas will also address the needs of immigrants and tourists who run into trouble or imprisoned. ” This Department of Filipinos Overseas will be for all Filipinos abroad and not just the OFWs,” Bertiz said.

Cusi Creates Transition Panel to Manage PEMC, WESM Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi on Friday ordered the creation of a transition committee for the interim management of the Philippine Electricity Market Corporation (PEMC) and the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM).

Under the department order that Cusi issued, the committee is to be chaired by Atty. Oscar E. Ala which shall exercise the functions of the PEMC president until one is appointed by the PEMC board. In addition, the Transition Committee is

tasked to assess PEMC’s existing structures, systems, and resources and propose a way forward for the WESM to meet the challenges ahead. The order gives the committee seven months from August 1, 2017 to complete its tasks.

Cusi said the creation of the Transition Committee is in line with President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s thrust of ensuring the protection of the Filipino electricity consumers, who are affected by the operation of PEMC and the WESM. Cusi said the PEMC

shall continue to effectively govern the operations of WESM for the benefit of all electricity stakeholders.

On the organizational level, Cusi assures the PEMC employees that the PEMC leadership shall continue to improve and advance their welfare as WESM operations

continue to evolve.

The PEMC was incorporated in 2003 and was constituted as the autonomous group market operator to oversee market governance and perform the functions of the market operator in the WESM. Aside from Oscar

Escobar Ala as Chairman, the Transition Committee Members are Engr. Jose Mari T. Bigornia, Atty.

Jose M. Layug, Jr., Atty.

Francis C. Saturnino Juan and Mr. Rauf A. Tan. The PEMC will be governed by a new Philippine Electricity Market Board composed of: Alfonso G. Cusi as

Chairman with Ronald Dylan P. Concepcion, Victor Emmanuel B. Santos, Emmanuel V. Rubio, Neeraj Bhat, Deon James, Rolando M. Cagampan, Octavius M. Mendoza, Allan L. Laniba, Noel V. Aboboto, Jesus L. Arranza and Peter L. Wallace as Board Members.

When teaching seems so tiring…

By: Leizl C. Magallanes Teacher I, South City Central School

It has been said that teaching is the noblest profession. In fact it is not just a profession but a vocation as well. So much work is expected from a teacher. He/she is not just teaching but he he/she acts as the second parent in the classroom which is composed of pupils with different unmet needs from their respective homes.

Such pupils expect their teacher to meet all their needs. Varied tasks are at our shoulders. Then there comes a point that a teacher will be tired and the profession becomes tiring.

When teaching seems so tiring… endless questions come across the mind of a teacher.

Whe n we e nte r i n the field of teaching, we know what it takes to be a teacher. We hear different stories from the teachers who already are in the field but still it doesn’t matter at all. We who are passionate enough to be a teacher pursue our dreams and we became a teacher. And we are now in the field of teaching. The teaching profession gives us many opportunities to learn more, grow professionally and develop our personality as a person. It is also our bread and butter so there is so much to be grateful about this teaching profession.

In life there is always a season for everything.

What if a teacher enters in a season wherein we could not understand what is happening? Pupils are unruly, works are overloaded, and varied tasks are to be accomplished.

When teaching seems so tiring… what now?

Everyone has his own limitations. There are times in a teacher’s life that we will become so tired. We are also human being who have our own life, family, issues and concerns even our own needs. Since we are teachers, we are expected to act as normal and happy as possible in

front of our pupils who also have different needs that we have to address.

So when teaching seems so tiring… what are we going to do?

Jesus Christ, the greatest teacher of all times knows very much that human as we are, we will come to the point that we will be tired so He encouraged us in His Word in the book of Matthew as He said, “Come to Me all you who are weary and are heavy – laden and I will give you rest.” Such promise that He will give us rest seems so comforting. When teaching seems so tiring, maybe surrendering it all to Jesus, the greatest teacher of all could be a great help. When teaching seems so tiring, maybe responding to His invitation to come to Him would benefit us. When teaching seems so tiring, maybe being inspired by His wisdom and guidance would help us find the purpose why we are called to be teachers. Finding our purpose in everything that we do will inspire us more to do our best even if it seems so tiring.

According to Richard Cumberland, “It is better to wear out than to rust out.” For those of us who were called to be teachers, when teaching seems so tiring, maybe it is good to remember that unless we teach, we will miss out on many of the joys and benefits of life itself. So when teaching seems so tiring, maybe we just have to concentrate on the things we like about this profession and its benefits.

Lastly, when teaching seems so tiring, let us be encouraged by the story teller of all time, Zig Ziglar as he said “Give your job that extra burst of energy you always have on the day before vacation. Not only will you enjoy your work more, but also raise and praise will both come your way.”

MARAWI CITY- Department Of Energy Asst. Secretary Redentor Delola, Lanao del Sur Electric Cooperative, Inc. (LASURECO) General Manager Nordjiana Ducol and other members of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Securing Energy Facilities commit to fully energize Marawi as soon as the fighting stops and normalcy returns to the beleaguered city. Delola also visited the site where the temporary houses will be built for the Bakwits of Marawi.

Meanwhile, LASURECO also gave assurance to provide power in the area for the construction requirements and to power immediately the homes for the Bakwits.

The main re as on w hy teachers in the field of education must engage in action research is for him to learn from a certain problem and apply solution to it with a sole purpose to improve teaching approach.

According to J.Best, Action research focused on the immediate application and not on development of theory. In other words, it has placed emphasis on real problem within the local setting.

To which the role of a researcher is to focus on specific problem, solution and action to improve

practices and work condition.

In like manner, classroom action research is a reflective pro cess t hat wi l l help the educator to become responsive on the need of a learner. Exploration on certain aspects that requires immediate full attention to expand further the knowledge and understanding of the student. Just like a glorious torch paves a way to conquer the boulders of load as carried by the learner and the mentor.

More so, it’s high time to adopt classroom action research because it is a means

of finding a way out with improved student learning capacity. Though the process is doable, yet the fruit is sweet smelling because in the process the methodology has a mixture of personal and informal way with definite time to address the problem.

A pedagogue must have a deep sense of passion for teaching and a deeper compassion on the learner.

By then, the learner is engulf by knowledge, skills, and understanding because the teacher finds solution on the problem encountered.

Identifying the concern in more specific would perhaps produce ideal retort.

Classroom action research must be given ample time because the

objective is to develop the interpersonal relationship in a classroom set up through regular scheduled meeting for a learner to explore and ameliorate. A direct answer to indirect situation will become beneficial for both parties. Each one will find joy and comfort because each one overcomes the journey from darkness to light precisely because the teacher establishes the appropriate solution amidst of all storms.

Thus, action research particularly in classroom set up is definitely a thoroughfare for improvement because something is being discovered the better yet s olut ion to a det ai le d problem.

terrorists hostage-takers or robbers. The training keeps one from panicking too much in crisis situations.

Arnis-- also called pananandata in Tagalog; pagkalikali, Ibanag; kabaraon and kalirongan, Pangasinan; kaliradman, Bisaya; and didja, Ilokano—has become our national martial art and sport since 2009. Based on RA 9850, it is defined as an indigenous Filipino martial art and sport characterized by the use of swinging and twirling movements, accompanied by striking, thrusting and parr ying techniques for defense and offense. This is usually done with the use of one (1) or two (2) sticks or any similar implements or with bare hands and feet also used for striking, blocking, locking and grappling, with the use of the same principle as that with the canes.

Arnis has already been prioritized in Palaro games since 2006. There have been already initiatives made by the Department of Education (DepEd) in emphasizing the national sport, such as the DECS Memorandum No. 294 Series of 1995 which entailed the Arnis Development Program Phase 1. But until now, we do not yet see a strong Filipino martial art program among many schools. In some provinces like Bohol, how can the citizens appreciate a national sport when it is “alien” or alienated as it tails in the priority of school initiatives?

What I see is the schools’ inability to deal with the supply side in bringing in the important intangible heritage. How can schools compete for a national sport if they do not have arnis mentors? How can they have competitive arnis teachers if they seem to just set aside the issue and be content with such a rationale—that there are no experts around and they do not know where to find them?

The time calls for a decisive action. I suggest that school division superintendents create items for an arnis mentor per school. The arnis master needs not comply with academic requirements and passing the board exam used in teaching other subjects because he or she should be hired as a specialist. But he or she should not be hired like computer encoders or janitors. Take him or her as a Filipino teacher—only that verbs are executed in solo or doble baston porma and the elegant art of surprising a weapon-yielding attacker with bone-breaking barehand techniques. The master should just be a college level and a certification that he or she is at least a plain black belt or an equivalent. Upon entry, the arnis master can demonstrate the art with expert jurors who also validates the competence of the mentor.

School leaders should consider that there are nine types of intelligences and the Filipino martial art does not

lag behind the linguistic and mathematical intelligences.

This is true, especially if we acknowledge that we have bodily-kinesthetic geniuses in our midst-- Pacquiao and a few arnis grandmasters.

Making our arnis appreciation at par with other countries’ appreciation demands that we nurture our forefathers’ brainchild.

Legislators should help by passing a law that supplements RA 9850, requiring the DepEd divisions to hire arnis teachers as specialists who do not anymore tinker with other matters in the academia.

There is no other way.

the succeeding months may have been the pre-cursor of My Lai in South Vietnam decades later.

Gen. Jacob H. Smith ordered his men to reduce Samar to a “howling wilderness” and to kill all Filipino males capable of bearing arms, including children above 10 years old.

Smith’s troops even went further by shooting all farm animals on sight.

American historians place the Filipino casualties at 2,500. Some historians place the death toll at 50,000. The latter figure, however, appears severely bloated because the 1904 census showed Balangiga’s population at a little less than 5,000. At no time between 1904 and the present did the town’s population exceed 21,000.

Regardless of the true casualty count, the brutality with which the retaliation was waged by the Americans was enough to raise an outcry in the United States.

Smith and his top officers were court martialed. But just like what happened to the perpetrators of the My Lai massacre decades later, Smith walked off with no more than a slap on the wrist. Smith was merely admonished and forced to retire from the service.

Over the years, the return of the Balangiga B ells (never mind the cannon) has become the object of several concerted actions here and abroad. President Fidel V. Ramos made the initial request to his counterpart President Bill Clinton.

To f r e e d o m - l o v i n g Filipinos, the bells symbolize a huge victory in the fight to defend independence.

The bells, thus, rightfully form part of Filipino cultural heritage.

In the US Congress, Congressman Bob Filner (in 2005) , Dana Rohrabacher and Ed Case (in 2006) sponsored separate resolutions urging the President of the United States to return the bells of Balangiga. Unfortunately, these initial attempts failed to gain momentum because of the low level of awareness among the American public.

A welcome move was initiated in 2015 by a group of US-based Fil-Ams to rekindle interest in the recovery of

the bells. The group – The Committee for the Return of the Bells – has sponsored the production of a very touching video, narrated by Actor Danny Glover – explaining the significance of the bells to Filipinos.

In a surprise announcement, during last Monday’s SONA, President Duterte provided the movement an unexpected and welcome boost.

Hi s d e m a n d , i n n o uncertain terms, for the return of the bells definitely caught the attention of the US Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim who was in the gallery.

O v e r- a l l , P r e s i d e n t Duterte’s SONA received mixed reviews, ranging anywhere from 5 to 10. Even if only for sheer dramatic effect, this particular demand, as far as I am concerned, rates a 9, or even a 10.

wasn’t able to know the Word of God so that he continues to sin, the sinner will perish.

But because Ezekiel did not preach the Word of God as he was ordered to do, he himself will perish.

Preaching, therefore, is an important work that must be carried out assiduously by those who believe that Jesus is God and Savior, and is God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

-ooo WORK FOR ALL AND KNK MEMBERS: PREACH: Among the members of the Anak ng Diyos Kadugo Ni Kristo (or AND KNK, Children of God Blood Kin of the Christ) Church, a Church that accepts and believes in Jesus as God and Savior and as God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the marching orders for each one of them are to preach the Word and save souls, whatever be their stations in life.

AND KNK members believe that these twin duties to preach and save are basically found in Matthew 28:19-20, 2 Timothy 4:1-2, Jude 23, Proverbs 24:11-12, and Matthew 24:14. There are other Bible verses in support of these duties for all AND KNK members, of course, but they will be discussed at a later time, God willing.

This belief proceeds from their perception, based on Biblical and historical support, that Jesus has His own Church (see Matthew 16:18), which He will call from the “east” or “far-off land” (Isaiah 46:11), which is the Philippines (there is a proof from history on this), to fulfill His end-time purpose (Matthew 24:14) to proclaim Jesus as God and Savior, as the basis of salvation for the coming Judgment Day. -ooo WATCH “ANG TANGING DAAN” AT FACEBOOK: “Ang Tanging Daan” is a Bible exposition and prayer session for everyone, in

APRI has won the Saringaya Award since 2012.

This year, the company was commended for such initiatives as the development of climate-resilient Mt. Malinao biodiversity and conservation project (with Bicol University’s College of Agriculture and Forestry), Ad o p t - a - R i v e r P r o j e c t (with DENR-EMB 5), Rain Water Collector, VermiComposting and Nursery Faci lity, and A-Park, a biodiversity enhancement project of the Aboitiz Group.

APRI president and COO, Felino Bernardo, cited the local governments’ continued support for the company’s proj e c ts and cor p orate social responsibility (CSR) programs.

“Our initiatives would not be possible without the support of local governments and our host communities,” Bernardo said. “We value this recognition from DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) as much as we value our partnership with them, as well as other government organizations, with whom we continuously collaborate for projects that benefit people and the environment.”

He also said that the award reinforces AboitizPower and APRI’s commitment to producing reliable and reasonably priced power supply in a responsible manner.

AboitizPower said it continuously expands its RE businesses as it strives for a balanced portfolio of both RE and conventional energy sources to ensure reliability and affordability of power supply for customers.

The company and its partners currently have a net sellable capacity of more than 1,200 MW from its RE portfolio of geothermal, hydro, and solar power plants all over the country.

Moreover, Dytianquin said that MMPC has yet to feel the benefit of cost of local production of Mirage.

“We have not yet felt the benefit of the localization, being done locally made because we’re still in the first stage of the localization. So the first stage, there’s still a few local component,” he explained.

“But on the second stage, that would be probably where there will be changes already because the second stage will involve already stamping of the metal parts. We are set to have the stamping plant open next year that will contribute probably on some savings,” Dytianquin added. (KMC/ PNA)

In the same period last year, MCT had only collected P589.795 million, or 20.19 percent lower than its P739 million target.

Pacasum said MCT aims to collect some P8.53 billion by the end of 2017. BOC-10’s overall target for this year is P11 billion.

Enciso also credited the upbeat collection target to the measures instituted by the newly appointed BOC-10 district collector, Jamail Marohomsalic, who assured to “put premium on collecting more taxes” to help the government realize its big-ticket infrastructure projects.

Marohomsalic, who has served the port of Davao for 25 years in various capacities, was appointed by Pres.

Duterte as port collector of Davao before his current posting in Region 10.

Fuentes said the province is threatened by such move as it might eventually lead to massive retrenchments.

S h e n o t e d t h at t h e province hosts a number of companies, among them fruit giant Dole Philippines Inc., as well as cooperatives and manpower agencies that hire contractual workers on a regular basis.

“We’re really worried by this situation as it will also result to other problems,”

the governor said in a radio interview.

Fuentes clarified that she’s not opposing efforts to end illegal labor contractualization but cited that the government appears not ready to face it at this time.

She acknowledged that such reform needs to be done but said even government agencies and local government units could not implement it.

“We can’t even make all our workers permanent, so how much more for our businessmen?” she asked.

The governor said the government should come up with more clear-cut measures to address the problem, especially in the countryside. “ We w a nt t o k n o w what more safety nets the government can give to workers that will eventually lose their jobs because of it,” she added.

D OLE has launche d a crackdown against establishments and companies that are practicing “endo” and labor-only contracting arrangements on orders from President Rodrigo R. Duterte.

In March, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III issued Department Order No. 174 that sets the prohibition on “repeated hiring of employees by contractors under an employment contract of short duration that falls short of the mandated six months to qualify for regularization.”

It also identified various labor contractualization schemes that are deemed illegal under existing laws.

In Region 12, DOLE earlier ordered the regularization of some 2,175 private workers from eight companies who

were found employed under illegal contractualization schemes.

Six of the companies have signified to comply while the two others have filed appeals before the Office of the Secretary. (MindaNews)

said the new flights will strengthen “Zamboanga Inter nat iona l Air p or t’s business and leisure travel connections.” “ T h i s i s pro of t h at Zamboanga’s economy is continuously vibrant and booming.”

In a briefing in Davao City after the arrival of the maiden flight from Dumaguete, Ma. Rosario L. Lagamon, Cebu Pacific head for corporate communications, said the two new routes add to the airlines’ existing 148 flights to and from the Davao International Airport.

“We are launching these new routes because we are confident in the Davao market and that this is in answer to the clamor both of ordinary travelers and those in business,” Ms. Lagamon told BusinessWorld, noting that Davao flights have an average load factor of 80%.

The Davao-Dumaguete flights will be four times weekly and three times a week for Davao-Tacloban.

Dumaguete Mayor Felipe Antonio B. Remollo, who led the contingent from his city, said he sees the air service creating a big impact on domestic tourism.

“There are people who wanted to travel (between the two cities), but they did not pursue because there was no air linkage. With the

Yes, that’s the great news!

God the Son humiliated Himself by becoming a

human being to die and pay the penalty for our sinful pride which separates us from God. But He also will set us free from the power of our sinful pride. Jesus Christ will forgive you right now-if you ask Him. Then He will also give you His power and love, so you can start changing to become the truly humble, honest, and successful person He created you to be. Just Think a Minute.
