‘Butuan On’ BUTUAN CIty – Last-termer Mayor Ronnie Vicente Lagnada vowed Thursday to continue his "BUTUAN ON" program, which he said has translated into better services for residents in the last six years. “We are right on the mark of our plans,” Lagnada said in a speech after the took oath of office for the last time as chief executive. He said BUTUAN ON, or a city ascending, is a journey with the aspiration of making Butuan a livable and sustainable city.

Microeconomic aid A NUMBER of displaced families in Marawi City managed to start their own successful businesses through the microeconomic initiative (MEI) program of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Amer Hassan Sanggacala, ICRC Communication Officer for Mindanao, said the MEI is an intervention for recipients who are families of missing persons following the 2017 Marawi siege that leveled the city. “The program is composed of three phases.

One of them is the proposal (where beneficiaries will propose their business ideas). If it is approved, it will undergo assessment in the economic security department,” Sanggacala said in an interview Thursday.

NSTALLATION of critical components of the MindanaoVisayas Interconnection Project (MVIP) has already been completed, according to transmission system operator National Grid Corporation of the Philippines.

In a status report furnished to the media, the transmission company indicated that it already installed the Santander and Dapitan cable terminal stations; the 350-kilovolt (kV) submarine cable; and the Lala-Aurora 138kV transmission line.

NGCP said the completion of the MVIP project is still “on track” by end this year. Once the facilities of the linked power systems reach commercial operations, that will finally concretize the country’s long-time dream of having an interconnected single national grid.

BUTUAN City – The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has maintained its red tide alerts in two areas of the Caraga Region.

In its latest shellfish bulletin, the BFAR said Lianga Bay in

Surigao del Sur and Litalit Bay in San Benito, Surigao del Norte remain positive for red tide.

“Latest laboratory results indicated that shellfish collected in said areas still positive for Paralytic Shellfish Poison or

toxic red tide that is beyond the regulatory limit,” the BFAR bulletin issued Thursday said.

The agency warned residents in the two areas that all types of shellfish are not safe for human consumption.

However, it noted that fish, squids, shrimps, and crabs collected in the specified areas are still safe for consumption so long as they are fresh and washed thoroughly, and their internal organs and intestines

are removed before cooking.

The shellfish bulletin added that the coastal areas of Hinatuan, Cortes, and Lingig, and Bislig Bay, all in Surigao del Sur, are now free from toxic red tide. (PNA)

Recreational Instruction through Games and Plays By: KIMBERLY T. CLAPANO Teacher I Tangub City Central School Central District A Division of Tangub City

Inside a regular classroom setting, playing games is a motivational act to increase learners’ eagerness to do classroom tasks and activities.

Children like and love to play.

They always connect learning into playing and playing into

learning. It is an integral part of the learning process.

But in a classroom with children having special needs, games and plays are great help for the teachers and parents to stimulate learning. Children with special needs require

special toys to help them realize their full potential.

According to the author Tamara R. Meredith, the use of games for learning increased learners engagement and fostered a “rewarding, fun and memorable experience” ( Meredith, 2016). Games and plays are recreational activities. It is fun; it can increase social interaction within the classroom. Other than these, games and plays help the educators to hold learners’ attention, create interest in the tasks at hand and improve confidence, especially with the learners with disabilities, (Wajiuhullah et al, 2018).

Moreover, in a regular classroom setting or in even in special education classroom; still, diversity of learners happens to be always present.

The teachers need to understand the diversity that occurs among learners that they meet in the learning institutions. Different learners have different abilities in learning and, as far as possible, they should be provided with individual attention to supply their educational needs.

What is important, as molder of young individuals, is to see to it that individual differences are accommodated in a way that it used to be using recreational instructions through games and plays as teacher’s innovation to cater learners in special education.

C

ABADBARAN CITY, Agusan del Norte— One hundred fourteen former rebels (FRs) of the Communist Terrorist Group (CTGs) who decided to surrender have received the financial assistance promised by the government through its Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) on July 01, 2022, at Hotel Oasis, Butuan City.

Among the 114 E-CLIP beneficiaries, 6 FRs surrendered to the 29th Infantry (Matatag) Battalion, which is under the leadership of Col. Jason M. Saldua. Each of them received a

total of PHP 65,000 for livelihood and immediate assistance, plus an additional amount for firearms remuneration, which was awarded by the Department of Interior and Local GovernmentAgusan Del Norte headed by the Provincial Governor, Hon Ma. Angelica Rosedell Amante-Matba and 2nd District Representative of Agusan del Norte, Hon Dale B. Corvera.

Meanwhile, Danilo Falco, one of the FRs who received the E-CLIP assistance, expressed his gratitude to the government for all the assistance accorded to them so that they may live peacefully with their loved

ones and be able to go back to mainstream society. In his statement, "Dako kaayo akong pasalamat sa tanang ahensya sa gobyerno nga mitabang kanako. Pinaagi niining E-CLIP nahatagan ako ug paglaum ug higayon nga mabuhing malinawon kauban ang akong mga minahal sa kinabuhi.

Makatilaw na kanunay ug lami nga pagkaon akong anak ug dili na mamroblema akong asawa nga magtago mi para sa among seguridad. Isa pud sa akong ginapasalamat ug dako karon kay nasundalo na ko para sa tarong nga gobyerno“(I am really thankful to all the agencies of

the government who helped me. Through this ECLIP I was given a chance and hope to live peacefully with the people I love.

My son can now eat delicious food and my wife will no longer worry about having to hide for our security. Also, I am really thankful that I became a soldier for the right government.)

Col. Jason M. Saldua, Commanding Officer of 29IB, said, "I am deeply grateful and happy to see how mindful the government is of its people, especially in fulfilling its promise to help those former rebels who have once lost their way but have now found their way back. This

Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) of the government is truly a blessing to our brothers and sisters who are now willing to change for the better."

"So, to all other rebels who are still doubting and having second thoughts about surrendering, cast away your doubts and beliefs.

The troops of 29IB will be here to assist and help you as you surrender. Lay down your arms now and experience a new life with your family like these fellow surrenders. Truly, there is hope for every rebel who desires to change and live a normal life," Col. Saldua added.

Parents' training Think a minute . . . Scientific studies have shown that if you put a frog into boiling water, it will jump out immediately to save its life. But if you put that same frog into water that is normal room temperature, then raise the heat of the water very slowly, the frog will just sit there until it boils to death! Why? It gets comfortable with the water at each slightly raised temperature, so it does not realize how dangerously hot its environment has become— until it is too late.

In a similar way, our chi ldren’s lives c an b e destroyed if we do not r e a l i z e h ow g r a d u a l l y they are being negativelhy influenced by their bad social environment of the wrong friends—and even by our daily bad examples as their parents. Before we know it, our kids have grown older without becoming the honest, self-controlled, loving and courageous adults we want them to be. Even though we are living with them every day, we fail to see the dangerous direction their character and friends are taking them. We need to save our kids from

THINK A MINUTE

JHAN TIAFAU HURST this destructive, increasingly “hot water” by changing our unhealthy parenting habits before it is too late.

Today and tomorrow we will talk about a few of the most important things that can help us train our kids well, so they can become the honorable adults we want them to become.

First, nagging and yelling at our children can become a bad daily habit that is actually counterproductive and does not work. An angry family is not a happy family! We might think getting angry will get our kids to obey; but the more we yell and nag, the more our kids learn to tune us out and take us less seriously.

ORLAN R. RAVANERA In expressing opinions, it is always done in prose. This time for a change, let me do it in poetry as the outpourings of words do not just come from the mind but direct from the heart. This gives more credence to the adage in the LITTLE PRINCE that “it is only through the heart that one can see clearly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.” That supreme force in the universe called love beacons all of us to exemplify the spirit of oneness irrespective of color, creed or class as we are all in fact, the sons and daughters of Mindanao, It now behooves upon us to shed-off our apathy, unlike that frog that was boiled-up to death because it cannot detect temperature changes.

You know that experiment is Biology 101? You take a frog and put it in a pot of

cold water. Put the pot on a stove and turn it on to start boiling. As the water in the pot gradually heats up, you tell the frog to jump to save itself, but the frog, if it can talk, will just say, “what are you talking about, nothing is wrong, am ok.” So, it will just sit there until it is boiled up to death.

We were just like that frog in many ways. We called Electric Cooperatives as cooperatives but according to the ruling of the Supreme Court they are just cooperatives in name only. The trillion of pesos as capital share of the 13 million member-consumer-owners (MCOs) have not been recognized all these years since the rural electrification law was passed in the late sixties. The existence of the so-called Electric Cooperatives is a great social injustice committed against the Filipino People by the Oligarchs. Electricity like air and water is a means to life and should not be a means of so much money making by the oligarchs.

First Poem : A Million Hearts Content for Peace O Mind anao, w here ecological wealth abounds,\ So rich in fisheries,

agriculture, forests and mines,\ Where beauties do not end at the shorelines,\ But in the Midanaons’ courageous hearts and minds.\ There in the land of the brave and the free/ Amidst nature bounties lies hunger and poverty,\ Why a few with so much to enjoy?/ Yet the many with too little or nothing at all!/ Each shapes the Mindanao we hold dear, / Behooving upon us to shed off apathy and fear/ Now listen to the cries of the multitude/ Hear what they agonize in their solitude/ Empowerment of the poor and the oppressed the solution/ Let us dismantle structure of social exclusion/ To put the people in the mainstream of progress,/ Let us wage peaceful revolution, / A million voices to illuminate darkness/ For we are all waves of one sea and leaves of one tree/ We now must unite, otherwise we all fall in demise.

2nd Poem: The Wind of Change The wind of change now hovering from the mountains to the cities,/ From the hills to coastal communities, it is the dawn of a new day, in the land of the free,/ For the people to be free from hunger and poverty, / That

is our mission,/ Amidst the darkness of helplessness and inequities,/ We will light the torch of social justice and progress,/ We are one family, / Highly committed to serve the poor and the oppressed,;/ working for their liberation through peaceful revolution./ We will harness collective potentials, rallying all stakeholders,/ We will advocate, we will empower,/ We stand as one dedicated to s e r ve, . / Now s o c i a l transformation in the offing,/ gaining headways, taking responsibilities,/ Let us be reminded of our impending victory,/ The people united can never be defeated.

3rd Poem: Veritas Liberabit Vos (The Truth Shall Set Us Free) My name is Veritas,/ So simple is my language,/ Mankind runs after me because I am a precious possession,/ But to the rule of the so-called Electric Cooperatives,/ I am a threat,/ So I have to be crucified by the Electric Cartel and be prosecuted / For doing my mandate as CDA Chairman,/ S o I have to b e found administratively guilty and criminally prosecuted and be imprisoned in the “dungeon” POEMS/PAGE 7

Ruffy Biazon, from 'tito' to 'tatay' of Muntinlupa City I was fortunate to witness last Thursday an historical transition in Muntinlupa City. Before a crowd which filled up the Filinvest Tent in Alabang, Mayor Rufino Rozanno Biazon took his oath shortly after 4 pm, as the fourth city mayor of this progressive city. A few minutes earlier, Congressman Jaime R. Fresnedi took his oath, also before Muntinlupa RTC Executive Judge Myra Quiambao, as congressman of the lone congressional district of Muntinlupa.

Biazon later administered the oath of Vice Mayor Artemio Arevalo Simundac and the elected city councilors, led

by Atty. Raul C. Corro. Corro who is acknowledged as the architect of the cityhood of Muntinlupa, is expected to be re-elected as majority floor leader.

The other city councilors were (from District 1) Rachel Arciaga, Ivee Arciaga-Tadefa, Paty Katy Boncayao, Allan Aman Camilon, Alexson Diaz, Valentino Niefes , Jedi Presnedi and (from District 2) Lester Baes, Ryan Bagatsing, Luvi Constantino, Arlene Hilapo, Eliot Martinez, Dado Moldez, Marissa Rongavilla and Jun Metong Sevilla.

Attendees consisted of the elected officials, their families and guests, city government p e rs on nel, for me r cit y officials, representatives from the business sector, heads of national government offices based in Muntinlupa, judges and prosecutors, education officials and school principals, civic and religious groups, and various people’s

organizations.

The scenario is unprecedented. The new officials are all members of One Muntinlupa – the first local political party in Muntinlupa officially recognized by the Comelec.

One Muntinlupa - which Biazon described as a “local political party with clearly st ate d p ar ty pr inciples an d p ar t y pl at for m of government” – swept the political opposition, 19-0, last May 9. One Muntinlupa r a n o n a p l at f o r m o f “equitable service for all, inclusive policies and programs, participator y governance, responsible, prudent and transparent f iscal management and accountability”. The success of One Muntinlupa, Biazon said, hopefully “will end politics of convenience and usher a new politics based on a shared vision for the people of Muntinlupa”.

No doubt, One M u n t i n l u p a’s v i c t o r y is attributable largely to outgoing Mayor Fresnedi, who is leaving office with a n e nv i a b l e re c o rd o f good governance, sound f iscal management and meaningful programs, especially in education and infrastructure. Biazon vowed not to squander the gains achieved during the Fresnedi administration.

Biazon served five terms in Congress during which time he authored 993 bills and 275 resolutions. 82 bills became laws. He also extended assistance to 2,400 scholars, 70,000 medical

assistance beneficiaries, 10,500 emergency employment beneficiaries, 102 rolling business livelihood beneficiaries, and released 39,000 food packs at the height of the pandemic.

He was instrumental in the construction of 40 school buildings (with a total of 572 classrooms) and the repair of kilometers of roads and drainage.

Biazon acknowledged that having served a long time in Congress, he will be venturing into a new field of local governance. From being a “tito”, who was available to assist whenever asked, he is now transitioning as a “tatay”, who has to run the household and provide for all its needs on a daily basis. He vowed to continue, and hopefully improve on, the programs of his predecessor. Biazon said he will pursue a 7-point K agenda which focuses on Kabuhayan, Kalusugan, Karunungan, Kaunlaran, Kapayapaan, Kalikasan at Katarungan – all based on the UN sustainable development goals.

The next three years will be a “pandemic recovery p e r i o d ”, B i a z o n s a i d .

Emphasis will be placed on Kalusugan, Karunungan and Kabuhayan.

Kalusugan involves the improvement of medical services, upgrade of health centers, converting at least two into “sup er health centers” with capability of de a ling w it h he a lt h emergencies, and the upgrade of the Ospital ng Muntinlupa.

Karunungan involves

t h e C ov i d - pro of i ng of school facilities ensuring their safety for face-to-face classes, the enhancement of the scholarship program and the conduct of training and development programs for teachers.

Kabuhayan involves 1. enhancement of the current livelihood and training programs and grant of interest free livelihood loans.

2. launching of Support Muntinlupa industries and Local Entrepreneurs (SMILE).

3. further improving the ease of doing business. 4. de veloping Muntinlupa lake shore area as a tourist destination. 5. continuing to de velop Muntinlupa as a SMART city through connectivity, using the latest available information and communication technology.

In order to hit the ground running, Biazon is retaining the services of all incumbent department heads, led by city administrator Engr. Allan Cachuela. Biazon expressed confidence that the same team which helped Fresnedi propel Muntinlupa to its position of leadership will be able to sustain the city’s growth momentum.

SSS-PPSC agreement to benefit nearly 200 job order, contract of service workers

T

HE Social Security System (SSS) said nearly 200 job order and contract of service workers will get social security coverage after SSS and the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) last June 24, 2022.

SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Michael

Regino lauded PPSC in their effort to provide social protection to their fellow workers in the government not covered by the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS). "Regardless of their employment status, workers deserve to have a basic safety net in times of contingencies through SSS membership," Regino said.

Under the MOA,

PPSC’s contract of service and job order workers will be classified as selfemployed members of SSS. Government contract of service and job order workers are not covered by the GSIS due to their employment status.

WHAT IS LIFESTYLE MEDICINE

By DIANA TAN VILLANUEVA MD, DIBLM, FNC, CHWC, MMHA

What is Lifestyle Medicine?

Lifestyle Medicine is a medical specialty that uses a researched-based approach to treating, preventing, and reversing disease. It encomp ass es co aching, motivational interviewing, educating, and motivating patients to change their behaviors to healthier ones.

How is it different from Traditional Medicine?

Lifestyle Medicine addresses the lifestyle causes of the disease. Traditional medicine uses pills and surgeries primarily to manage medical conditions, while Lifestyle Medicine prescribes medications but emphasizes the use of 6 pillars of health: • Plant-predominant Diet • Regular Physical Activity • Restorative Sleep • Po s it ive S o c i a l Connections • Avoidance of Risky Substances • Stress Management Whole food, plant-centered Diet Lifestyle Medicine physician encourages patients to eat food as grown and from plants. These include whole grains like unpolished brown rice, quinoa, oats, and corn. Another healthy food is legumes- beans, peas, and lentils. Fruits and vegetables, seeds, and nuts are also part of a healthy diet.

Regular physical activity T h e C D C ' s c u r r e nt physical activity guideline is 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic exercise

through a salary-deduction scheme under its KaltaSSSCollect Program.

“As SSS self-employed members, they shall become entitled to social security benefits such as sickness, maternity, retirement, disability, and death benefits. They shall also become eligible for loan programs which include salary, and calamity, among others.

Likewise, they will also have additional coverage from the Employees' Compensation Program (ECP) for work-related contingencies,” Regino added.

As of May 2022, SSS has partnered with 1,261 local government units (LGUs), 398 national government agencies, 98 state universities and colleges (SUCs), and 58 local water districts covering job order and contract of service workers through the KaltaSSS-Collect Program with a total collection

exceeding P2.9 billion.

Petitioners Spouses John Paul and April Ilano through counsel filed before this Court a verified petition for correction of entries in the Certificate of Live Birth of Francesca Sophia Clordearta Ilano, a minor.

Petitioners aver that they are the representatives and the biological parents of minor Francesca Sophia Clordearta Ilano. Spouses Ilano were married on March 28, 2012 before the Honorable Oscar V. Badelles, Presiding Judge of RTC-Branch 5 Iligan City, Lanao del Norte.

Francesca is 12 years old minor, born on October 21, 2009, two years before the marriage of the petitioners and is their first born. At the time Francesca was born, petitioners were still not married to each other. Hence, the entry indicating the date and place of marriage of the petitioners in the Certificate of Live Birth of Francesca as September 08, 2009- Cagayan de Oro is erroneous, but belatedly noticed by herein petitioners.

grids will enable the sharing of at least 450 megawatts of surplus capacity from Mindanao grid to Visayas, that in turn, could also be funneled to energy-starving Luzon grid.

“We hope this would finish on time, but factors beyond our control required an adjustment to our project timeline. We are working double-time to complete the overhead transmission line

portions and advance the project to its commissioning stage to connect the Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao grids,” the transmission firm stressed.

Based on the project’s or ig ina l bluepr int, t he completion timeline was or i g i na l ly t arge te d for December 2020, but because of the physical work hurdles wrought by the coronavirus pandemic, there were adjustments made in the timeframe of work to be carried out in the MVIP.

Impact of blended distance learning modality in the new normal

By MELCHIE ABRINICA PADERANGA Teacher III Bongbong Elementary School District 9 Division of Ozamiz City

AFTER almost a year and a half of disrupted schooling due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most students will be heading back to t r a d i t i o n a l i n - p e r s on school in the fall of 2021.

However, many parents wonder what the impact of distance and/or hybrid learning has been on their kids.

To varying degrees, most kids across the country (and the world) spent significant chunks of time doing school from home. Research and ane cdot a l rep or ts tel l us that many kids faced significant challenges.

We don't yet fully know what the lasting impacts of distance learning may be.

However, ongoing research offers insights on what the effects of learning via a computer at home may be for various groups of students.

It ' s i mp or t ant t o remember the extraordinary challenges many students faced dur ing dist ance

learning, including family illness (and in some cases the death of loved ones), job loss, financial insecurity, chronic stress and uncertainly, loss of normalcy, and losing out on activities and social connections.

Schools, teachers, p arents, and students alike all had to scramble to figure out how to "do" school in quarantine.3 So, any success with schooling during the stresses of living through a pandemic should be celebrated.

That said, remote learning has taken a huge toll on many kids and their families. Many parents left jobs to help supervise their children's learning. Other families had to leave their kids at home unsupervised while they went to work.4 Even many students who had parents who could be home with them struggled with the demands and expectations of online school.

Technology and innovative methods shields of teaching

By MARY JOY F. EDUSMA Teacher I Dimaluna Elementary School District 9 Ozamiz City Division

SOME of our most inspiring and unforgettable movies are of teachers and professors who use innovative methods of teaching to reach out to the minds of the students and win the hearts of the audience while doing so.

While a few years ago, one would only see such innovative and effective teaching on the screen, today technology has given teachers across the world a number of tools to enhance teaching methods.

While this form of teaching does not include technology, it is an enriching experience for the student as well as the faculty. Here, the learning happens in an informal setting such as after-school learning clubs, or trips to museums and exhibition. The teacher can link the educational content with the experiences that the students are having. This

teaching is further enhanced and deepened by adding questions related to the subject. The students can then add to the classroom discussions through field trip notes, photographic projects and other group assignments related to the trip.

Smart boards are an effective way to bring the classroom to life while helping students experience a deeper level of engagement and understanding. This is done by making the course content interactive and visual. The smart b o ard s t r ans for m t he teaching experience into an interactive and collaborative experience as the teachers use dynamic multimedia content, to help convey the topic more effectively to the students and making it a visual, engaging experience.

The cable terminal stations in Santander, Cebu and Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte are among the concluded core components of the project – and these two areas will serve as the landing sites for the power transmission interconnection.

Additionally, there had been two 92-kilometer 350kV high voltage direct current (HVDC) power cables, as well as two 92-km fiber optic cables (FOCs) that were already laid for the link-up of the grids.

“Site acceptance tests (SATs) were conducted at the Dapitan and Santander cable terminal stations to ensure the said facilities meet NGCP’s requirements,” the transmission firm noted.

It emphasized that work on the submarine cable component kicked off in November 2018; and was initially targeted to be concluded by June 2021.

NGCP, nevertheless, stated that the “restrictions on entry of foreign experts, work suspension, and manpower reduction brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to significant del ays in t he proj e c t’s execution.”

The company similarly specified that the “damage to submarine cable no.1 caused by a third-party vessel also delayed construction activities — with repairs NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the Intestate Estate of the Late MANUEL CLARETE SILFAVAN who died intestate on April 19, 2020 at Cagayan de Oro City is the subject of the Extrajudicial Partition of Estate located at Villanueva, Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro City by and among the Heirs as per Doc.

On work-components for the completion of the entire project, NGCP has reiterated its appeal “for the support of the local and national government to push this into fruition,” with it adding that “delays in local government permitting, and right-of-way issues from slow judicial processes and unsupportive landowners continue to delay our efforts.”

Then we may actually lose control and seriously hurt our children with our words, or even physical harm, to force them to obey us simply out of fear.

The healthiest, most effective way to discipline our kids is to take away their favorite possessions or privileges for a short time. This way they learn the natural consequences of their own bad choices and behavior. Then, they have only themselves to blame.

That is how they learn to control themselves and change for the better.

Today you can ask Jesus to forgive you for whatever wrong, unhealthy ways you have been teaching and disciplining your kids? Only He can help you change so you do not make the same mistakes with your kids that your parents possibly made with you. Just think a minute.

with its plan of establishing its own industrial economic zone.

Cambaya explained that the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) requires an area of at least 25 hectares to qualify as an industrial park.

He said the city government acknowledged the need to establish industrial parks that could host foreign firms that choose to invest in the city and take advantage of the fiscal and non-fiscal incentives granted by the national government for locators in identified economic zones.

According to the PEZA, non-fiscal incentives include the granting of special nonimmigrant visas with multiple entry privileges for nonresident foreign nationals in a PEZA-registered economic zone enterprise, particularly investors, officers, and employees in supervisory, te ch n i c a l, or a dv is or y position, and their spouses and unmarried children under 21 years of age; employment of foreign nationals; and long-term land lease of up to 75 years.

IGP- Income Generating Project/s in School By: RAYANLY Y. BANTILAN Teacher 1 Pangabuan Beach Elementary School South A District Tangub City Division

Schools nationwide require resources to operate, and that typically boils down to money.

With funding principles that are relatively needed to continuously address good service to education, variety of resources and allocation determined in various ways.

Financing of education has been shared partnership between the government and the other development partners.

Though, MOOE or the Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses allocated funds for public elementary and secondary schools that can be spent on activities and necessities, there is still a need to acquire others resources for schools sustainability and/ or other programs. There is an alternative that can be of great help to add school funds. This is what we called IGP or Income Generating Project.

What is income generating project? This is an activity t h at m a k e s m o n e y t o finance a program. It can be of used to improve school facilities, finance a project for innovation in school and the like. Income generating

project is very beneficial f or s c h o o l s t o re a l i z e instructional and physical development for it helps in generating revenues used to ensure financial sustainability of the institution.

It is not the school alone can benefit from IGP but most importantly, the merit towards the proponent of the project. During ranking and selection for promotion, first from the list which has the highest points is the innovation. This innovation includes IGP-the income generating project in school.

the lapse of the period for income tax holidays; tax-andduty-free importation of capital equipment, raw materials, spare parts, or accessories; ValueAdded Tax (VAT) exemption on importation and VAT zerorating on local purchases for goods and services directly or exclusively used in the registered project or activity of export enterprise for the period of registration of the said project or activity; domestic sales allowance of up to 30 percent of total sales; and exemption from payment of local government taxes and fees for the duration of the period of availment of special corporate income tax.

There are 22 agro-industrial economic zones in the country, according to PEZA. Cambaya added that the local government would undertake a pre-feasibility study to give government officials “a bird’s eye view” of what kind of park and what other areas in the city have potential for conversion into economic zones.

He said the DCIPC hopes to open the competitive bidding for the pre-feasibility study next month, start with the preliminary assessment by September this year, and come out with the initial result by January next year.

Cambaya added that a fullblown study will be undertaken next year.

“We acknowledge the need for industrial parks in the city because these are eco zones that are actually needed by investors, especially foreign,” he said.

NDRE JOHN CUE finished in the top 5 of the 2022 Mister International Philippines held recently at the grand ballroom of Okada Manila in Parañaque City on June 27.

Andre was only 18 years old when he joined the pageant and finished it at the age of 19 when he celebrated his birthday last June 9 during the pageant which featured a monthlong pre-pageant program, workshops, preliminary swimwear and formal wear

competitions, a beautiful national costume show, rounds of interviews, and the live grand coronation.

Andre’s star shone brightly in the annual search for the country’s representative to the 2022 Mister International pageant as he was tagged as one of the

early favorites among the strong field of 33 aspirants, eventually finishing fourth runner up to place his native Cagayan de Oro in the country’s glam map.

He was the youngest candidate and won the following Pageant Awards: Darling of the Press, One of

the Faces of David Salon and DermaWorld. He was also chosen as one of the 5 models for the collaboration of world global fashion icons Michael Cinco Couture and Jojo Bragain Shoes.

Andre is the third of four sons of businessman Oliver John and former commer-

cial model and entrepreneur Mags Cue of MAGS Fashion Apparel. His siblings are Patrick, Paolo and younger brother Anton. He is a Senior High School graduate of Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan.
