Briefly Railway update

DAVAO City — The government is expecting to receive the shortlist of bidders for the first phase of the China-funded Mindanao railway from the Chinese Embassy within the month, a transport official said.

“The Embassy of China in the Philippines promised to send the shortlist of bidders for the Mindanao Railway Project (MRP) this month,” Transportation Assistant Secretary Eymard D. Eje, who handles the Mindanao cluster project implementation and special concerns, said in a phone interview last week.

The P82.9-billion project will be financed through an official development assistance (ODA) loan package from China.

AGAYAN de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno on Monday highlighted Kagay-anons resilience and indomitable spirit amid challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic and expressed hope and optimism that we shall all rise up and emerge stronger than ever.

Thank you for trusting us!

In his annual city report given Monday (June 15) in time for the city’s 70th Charter Day celebration, Moreno said the city--having survived and rebuilt from the ruins of both World War II and typhoon Sendong in 2011-- "will not only survive but overcome and build back better."

Poverty rate THE government remains on track to hit its target poverty rate of 11% by 2022 despite “temporary” setbacks in poverty-reduction efforts due to the economic fallout of the pandemic.

National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Acting Secretary Karl Kendrick T. Chua said Friday that the poverty rate is expected to increase due to the pandemic but there remains a “strong chance” poverty will hit target levels in the next two years.

“Given the virus, and the pandemic, (poverty) is expected to go up but there are many indications that this is only temporary, and we have a strong chance to still hit the targets that NEDA has set forth, the new targets, around 11%,” Mr. Chua said at an online briefing.

ACING an enemy that has changed the world, Cagayan de Oro City has shown resilience, and even growth and prosperity as it celebrates its 70th Charter Day, June 15.

In his annual report, Mayor Oscar Moreno said, "Today as we mark the 70th birthday [of the city], we are also experiencing a different challenge. With us today is an enemy that we do not see, an enemy that we do not know, an enemy that does not sleep, an enemy that does not rest, and an enemy that has changed the world. Dili tiaw kini nga sitwasyon (this is not an easy situation),"

as he refers to the city's fight against coronavirus disease (COVID)-19.

Noting that the city ranked lowest from the other 17 highly urbanized cities in the number of COVID-19 cases, Moreno commended the efforts of the Department of Health (DOH), Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC), and the City Health Office (CHO) as well as the frontliners in health, security and social services.

Despite the challenges, Moreno said the city has accomplished numerous feats to include 230.96 km paved road of which 3.48 km are completed for flood control structures

and 5.61 km for the bank and slope protection projects.

Moreover, a partnership between Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) are set to have an embankment project from Barangays Bonbon and Macabalan going to Barangays Macasandig and Balulang.

The project is targeted to be completed by 2022.

With this, "there will be no more Sendong" that will be experienced by Kagayanons, Moreno said.

As for infrastructure, CDO has completed 480 classrooms and 273 more

classrooms are currently built that include the 52 classrooms for City Central School. Also, since 2o13, 21 child development centers (CDCs) have been established, 5 are ongoing projects, and 14 more are to be built for the year.

In terms of hospital facilities, the city invested P125 million for the hospital in Lumbia where phases 1 and 2 have been completed with P50 million and P25 million budget, respectively.

Tablon hospital’s phase 1 has already been completed with a P25 million budget and for its second phase, P50 million is allocated by the LGU and is already at 95 percent completion.

Furthermore, the city government is set to purchase two reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) machines for COVID-19 testing in NMMC. Thus, the hospital can now provide more tests with its seven units of testing

machines.

Becoming a city in 1950, Cagayan de Oro, as Moreno stressed, has experienced 70 years of continuing progress and prosperity.

“Our growth, our prosperity has been aided to a large extent because of our strategic location and also given that Cagayan de Oro is the center of education not just of the province of Misamis but also of the upper half of Mindanao,” the mayor said. (RTP/PIA10)

DavOr’s tourism industry set for “new normal” DAVAO Oriental -Around 300 tourism establishments in Davao Oriental comprising mostly of beach resorts,

hotels, and restaurants have implemented new operation policies as the province embraces the “new normal”.

The Provincial Task Force on COVID-19 held a meeting on June 9 with tourism operators including owners and managers of resorts, hotels, and restaurants to discuss adoption of guidelines set by the Department of Tourism for the reopening of tourism establishments.

These guidelines are to be enforced as influx of tourists is anticipated.

As such, accommodation establishments may only open at 50 percent maximum operational capacity for social distancing purposes. With this, hotels and inns are TOURISM/PAGE 7

OPINION:

Green and sustainable developments: is CdO ready?

The recent lockdown and Covid-experience made us all more aware about the importance and value of living in a sustainable, green and healthy environment. Having been 'restrained' for a long period of time made us truly appreciate the comfort of open spaces and natural environment.

In fact, the spread of viruses and other diseases are drastically reduced where there is natural vegetation, plenty of sunlight, natural ventilation and breathable spaces. Now more than ever Green Building, passive green design and sustainable development concepts are all key factors in planning our future environments. But what is a Green Building?

“Green building is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally

responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction.” says the American Environment Protection Agency's website. The city's development plan (comprehensive land use plan 2019-2027) already envisioned a sustainable way of building new green low density areas, green belts, parks, open spaces, tree parks and tree strips along the main thoroughfares. In Cagayan de Oro there already are some green developments like for example Luxe Hotel in Limketkai that was actually certified as the first LEED Gold (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) building in the Philippines in 2013 and

2014. Another LEED certified building is the Pioneer House CdO, the only LEED Platinum Certified Building in the Visayas and Mindanao. Further there is Cepalco's Green Office Building along Mastersons Avenue in Uptown with it's photovoltaic panels and aim to be a 'Net Zero' building. A 'net zero' building is a building with zero net energy consumption, meaning the total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site.

And finally, as the only residential green building and EDGE certified development in Cagayan de Oro there is Primavera Residences and Primavera City developed by IDC (Italpinas Development Corporation). Both

projects have been awarded by important international recognitions like by the Philippine Green Building CouncilLeadership in Green Building Award and the International and South East Asian Property Awards.

EDGE is a green building certification system developed by the International Finance Corporation, which is part of the World Bank. EDGE stands for Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies, and the certification has the goal of reducing the environmental impact of buildings in three areas: direct energy consumption, water consumption, and the energy footprint of construction materials.

For example in IDC's both developments passive green design features are the type of exposure of the

building to the sun to minimise its impact evaluated during planning phase through a special software, the natural shading features created by various cantilevers, the natural ventilation created through the internal courtyard of the building (called chimney effect), the solar panels on the rooftop powering the common areas of the development. As the environment and our quality of life gets more and more important the focus of of both developers and homebuyers is set to shift to developments that

are green in design and architecture, sustainable, ecofriendly and most of all liveable. With CdO's development plans under way this is a great opportunity to become one of the leading green LGUs in the Philippines that values quality of life and respect for nature. Residents from Primavera Residences are actually some of the best witnesses to the great lifestyle of green condo-living and they are very eager to share their experience on how it really feels like living in a green building.

Life's surprises Think a minute… Remember Christopher Columbus? The bold explorer from Europe who intended to sail across the Atlantic Ocean to find Asia, but failed. Well, not completely. Instead of Asia he found the New World, now called America.

Louis Pasteur was looking for a way to keep wine from turning sour, but instead he found a way to kill the dangerous bacteria in milk.

His process of pasteurization has made milk safer to drink for millions around the world.

Willhelm Roentgen was working on a way to improve photography, but instead he found the way to make X-Rays, which has enabled doctors to save millions of lives.

How many times have you really wanted something and did not get it, but instead you ended up getting something as good or even better! So in the end, you were actually happy and thankful you did not get what you first wanted.

THINK A MINUTE

WEDNESDAY|JUNE 17, 2020

To avoid Covid-19, please read God's Book, the Holiest

The holiest of books is not one written by evangelists or well-known prophets but one authored by God Himself, evolving through billions of years, shown in the beauty of the universe. Neither is it written in words nor in any language and is opened 24 hours a day, has no literacy requirement and can be well understood using not one but five senses. If that “book” has been read, due respect could have been given to the sacredness of life of all species, then, “Paniki”or bats would not be a subject of man’s consumeristic attitude and there could be no corona virus. Such also took place when man began eating chimpanzees that brought forth, as a consequence, the HIV disease.

That book is said to be a manifestation of the Unseen using the great void as its pages and the four elements of the Universe as its alphabets, namely, Fire, Water, Earth and Wind. It is called the book of nature written through the ages that contains all the mysteries of life and the laws that must be obeyed irrespective of race, color, belief, gender and class.

The 250 million stars in the cosmos can well speak of that element called Fire that touches us through the glorious sun. Every time the sun proclaims a new day, that bursting of the light in the horizon shows that darkness can only be had in the absence of light and no way can the darkness defeat the light. In the same breath that truth

always prevails over lies, righteousness over diabolic acts, love over hate, the just over the unjust, and life over death.

But we also read in that book that even the darkness has some good in it because it shows us the stars.

From that element called Water we have learned that flowing is the essence of life as to stagnate means diseases, sorrows and death. For it to flow, it must seek a lowly path as it gains more power by falling down.

In the 70s during the height of the First Quarter Storm, we always heard the adage, “Let not a single drop of rain go out to the sea without serving the people.”

There is also that cleansing and healing power of water. It

JEROME DE LA FUENTE

As grocery shopping ( my pre-covid stress reliever ) remains a necessity during this pandemic,( post-covid stress trigger having to line up for an hour zzzzzzzzzzz) many people have questions about how to shop safely. We want to reassure consumers that there is currently no evidence of human or animal food or food packaging being associated with transmission of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. This particular coronavirus causes respiratory illness and is spread from person-to-person, unlike

foodborne gastrointestinal or GI viruses, such as norovirus and hepatitis A that often make people ill through contaminated food.

Although your grocery store may be temporarily out of certain products, there are no nationwide shortages of food. Food production and manufacturing are spread throughout the country .

D ur ing t his p andemic, consumers are getting most of their food from grocery stores, and many stores have modified their operating hours to allow for more time to restock shelves and clean.

In addition, many stores are providing special hours for seniors or other high-risk individuals to shop and are offering pick-up and delivery services. Check the store’s website or call the store to learn more.

To help protect yourself, grocery store workers, and other shoppers, it is important to keep a few things in mind: 1. Prepare a shopping list

in advance. Buy just 1 to 2 weeks-worth of groceries at a time. Buying more than you need can create unnecessary demand and temporar y shortages.

2. Wear a face covering or mask while you are in the store. All the stores are requiring before you even their premise and while inside.

3. Carry your own wipes, or use one provided by the store to wipe down the handles of the shopping cart or basket. If you use reusable shopping bags, ensure they are cleaned or washed before each use.

4 . Pr a c t i c e phy s i c a l distancing while shopping – keeping at least 6 feet between you, other shoppers, and store employees. Keep your hands away from your face.

5. Wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds when you return home and again after you put away your groceries.

6. Again, there is no

evidence of food packaging being associated with the transmission of COVID-19.

However, if you wish, you can wipe down product packaging and allow it to air dry, as an extra precaution.

As always, it is important to follow these food safety practices to help prevent foodborne illness: 7. Before eating, rinse fresh fruits and vegetables under running tap water, including those with skins and rinds that are not eaten.

Scrub firm produce with a clean produce brush. For canned goods, remember to clean lids before opening.

8 . Whe n u np a ck i ng groceries, refrigerate or freeze meat, poultry, eggs, seafood, and other perishables—like blueberries, strawberries, grapes, oranges, cut fruits or pineapple , lettuce, herbs, and mushrooms—within 2 hours of purchasing.

9. Regularly clean and sanitize kitchen counters SHOPPING/PAGE 7

From seed to fruit JHAN TIAFAU HURST want.” The fact is we often want things that are not good for us, things that in the end will make us and our family unhappy. Our problem is that we simply do not understand it yet. It is because God loves us so much that He tries to protect us from our own wrong desires—so He does not always give us what we want. Then there other times we want things that are actually good and we still do not get them.

We may feel disappointed, confused or angry. But then God surprises us by giving us something even better and more lasting!

Remember, since our Maker designed and created SURPRISES/PAGE 7

C h r i st h a s b e e n u s i ng commonly-identifiable and ordinary things to convey precious lessons rich in spiritual and supernatural dimensions. We know that he spares nothing to adapt himself to us, if only to recover us from our state of sin, exile, and alienation from God, facilitating our understanding of basic truths about our faith indispensable for our salvation.

One of these things is the seed which he uses, for example, to teach us about the duty to be like the fertile ground that makes that seed bear fruit a hundredfold, (cfr.

Mt 13,1-23) or that its growth depends on God’s grace even if we water and care for it, as in the parable of the growing seed. (cfr. Mk 4,26-29) Christ also talks about the mustard seed as an image of the Kingdom of God. It may be small, but when it grows

it becomes the largest among the garden plants. (cfr. Mk 4,30-34) Indeed, the concept of a seed is very useful if we have to consider the many different gifts we have received from God a nd ot hers. T hese gifts, like the gift of life, vocation, privileges, honors, commitments, etc., can be likened to a seed that needs to be sown on fertile ground and to be taken care of even if God himself takes care of them.

These gif ts a lso w i l l unravel to us their many potentialities, implications, and full consequences that at first we may not realize or expect. And we should just be ready to handle the demands and requirements that go with these potentialities and implications.

T hu s , w h e n e ve r we celebrate the anniversary of ou r bi r t h, voc at ion,

privileges and honors, and the commitments we have entered into, let us examine ourselves if the seed of these gifts have conformed to the expectations Christ has made about them.

Have we been the fertile ground that made those seeds of gifts grow to flower and bear a lot of fruit? Have we given them the proper care even if their development depends more on God ’s grace for which we should continually ask?

Are we ready to face and tack le the demands a nd requ irements of the actua lization of the unexpected potentialities and implications that they actually involve right from the beginning?

In the case of the seed of life and vocation, for example, we can say that everything is already defined there. The genetic code, so to speak, is

HINTS AND TRACES

ROY CIMAGALA already made. But we may not realize everything of its possibilities and implications at the beginning. And God, the giver of these gifts, may not let us know all about what are contained or involved in those gifts at the beginning.

The unfolding may come in a very gradual process, if only to give due consideration to the nature, character, l i m it at ion s , a nd ot her conditions of the receivers FRUIT/PAGE 7

Kiosko Kagawasan (freedom park) and attended by hundreds of government functionaries, the annual commemoration was instead aired live via cable channel and online stream on social media, in keeping with the Covid-19 health protocols.

"These are difficult times and there is a cloud of uncertainty hovering over us because of the pandemic.

But we in City Government have painstakingly made every effort and built partnerships with every stakeholder to address this crisis and beyond it all, we see and continue to believe in the indomitable spirit of every resident," Moreno said.

Some of the highlights of Moreno's report included the status of the eightpoint development agenda: health and hospital services, poverty alleviation, public order and safety, traffic and tourism, education and environmental management, "metropolization", revenue generation and resettlement, agricultural productivity, and inf rastr ucture and investments.

“Metropolization is an idea whose time has come.

Now people have realized that you cannot think parochial,” Moreno said. “You have to look beyond your boundaries as you get bigger, as you share vision with your neighbors.”

The mayor identified at

least 14 adjacent localities which can take part in the metropolization of Cagayan de Oro – the municipalities of Tagoloan, Villanueva, Jasaan, Balingasag, Opol, Alubijid, Laguindingan and Gitagum, and El Salvador City, in Misamis Oriental; and the municipalities of Malitbog, Manolo Fortich, Baungon, Talakag and Sumilao, in Bukidnon.

He said that together, these local government units can be a powerful collective in harmonizing their plans and lobby as one to other stakeholders, either in the government and the private sector.

“The chances of growth and prosperity for the whole region are enhanced. Di na mahimo nga ang atong focus ang ato kaugalingon.

Services are better managed and delivered if we do these together such as in the areas of health, peace and order, planning for growth and prosperity, etc.,” Moreno went on. “Imagine how the Laguindingan airport being expanded can help all the LGUs combined with teamwork and harmony in place. There will be more investments between Opol all the way to Initao and even all the way to Lugait and the city of Iligan.”

Earlier, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) projected that Cagayan de Oro City may become a metropolis by 2025 based on its population growth

and functional role as a major gateway and transshipment hub in the country.

As e arly as 1998, a Philippine Institute for Development Studies report has already envisioned a metropolitan Cagayan de Oro “considering the rapid urbanization being experienced in the area which will further accelerate as industrialization and trading activities are vigorously pursued.”

Moreno also thanked the various city departments, as well as the Department of Health (DOH) and the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) for their invaluable contributions amid the Covid-19 crisis.

He said their efforts will help in the "gradual easing of restrictions in the city in the days to come".

"In the beginning, the crisis seemed overwhelming. But thanks to CHO (City Health Office), DOH-10, NMMC, the men and women of City Hall and the private sector, we are slowly but surely building our testing capacity to serve not only Cagayan de Oro City but the upper half of Mindanao," the mayor said.

He said the virus may have affected the communities "but the city government will not give up". "We will overcome this if we all work together. We will rise to the next level and build a better City for our children and for the generations to come," Moreno said. –with PNA

four siblings of the market vendor were positive of COVID-19.

“The five are all asymptomatic and were already confined at the city’s isolation unit,” Retuya said.

Retuya also reported that a 60-year-old overseas Filipino worker (OFW), a resident of Barangay Bulua, was found positive of the disease when he was tested in Pasig City in Metro Manila.

He said the worker was about to report back to his work in Indonesia when he took the RT (reverse transcription) -PCR test in Pasig.

Retuya said the worker arrived in Cagayan de Oro from Indonesia on March 12.

He said the worker is now quarantined at the company’s condominium in Pasig.

“He was quarantined here for 14 days after arriving last March 12 and was later released after he showed no symptoms,” Retuya said.

Retuya said the 60-yearold OFW complied with all the necessary travel papers when he reported back for work last June 10.

With the six new cases, the Cagayan de Oro City Health Office said there are now nine active COVID-19 cases in the city, including that of the OFW.

one’s religious customs and individual routines. As educators, let us not allow the dreary conditions to redefine the significance of education. We must not cease in finding solutions in keeping our children erudite. Making them oblivious and ignorant is not an alternative despite of the inconveniences. Our DepEd Secretary, as Undersecretary Sevilla mentioned, has underwent sleepless nights painstakingly look into our curriculum and safety measures to ensure the programs of the department appropriate for the period of pandemia.

Having a sense of hope is not enough.

We need to do something to ease the situation. For this reason, a number of webinars are being launched to keep us educators abreast to the new technology and synergetically apply them in the context of spreading learning. Participating in various webinars are somehow in this manner we know advantages of online learning as well as it downsides. By personally taking part of the online discussions and activities we will be in one way or another knows how to effectively run or conduct our own real-time web instructions and trainings. We must engage ourselves in various trainings in order to uplift ourselves.

“Know by heart your core functions”, as Ma’am Cherry Limbaco stated. Which has been concretized by Ma’am Jean Veloso, that in every walks of life and avenues of learning Iike webinars, we must also be observant on the mannner it is managed and operated not to codemn its downfalls and defeciencies but to be compassionate and proactive in contributing solutions. As Ma’am Cherry Limbaco would resoundingly would say, “Don’t blame others – OWN IT.” We must be responsible and accountable leaders. Likewise, we must emphaticaly radiates vibrance and benevolence in order to triumph over the odds.

Classroom management in the new school year

By LIEZEL V. ANTONIO Teacher III Prenza Elementary School Prenza, Tangub City

Amidst uncertainties, as school head, we are challenged to be creative and to be relevant in finding solutions and opportunities. Indeed our creativity will eventually brings us to bigger answers as one persitently endure to be inventive and resourceful so that our prevalent problems becomes lesser and pave a way to a more vivid future. Our illustrious schools division superintendent, Jonathan S. Delapeña spearheaded programs like MODEM, SOAR 2.O and BE MORE, which we strongly support, is his creative ways to perpetuate learning among students. He challenges us not to be defined by restrictions and not to allow ourselves to feel less in the midst of dreadful circumstances. According to him, that the first step to take in this new normal is to be optimistic rather than be succumbed by cynicism and hoplessness.

The global pandemia is a path for personal instrospection for everyone on how far as we as an educational leader and how are we apply optimization and maxmization principles which bears within the banner program of our division that is “BE MORE”. The program is intended to be done in away of achieving the best results through threshold utilization of resources of our control and posession.

These cornocupia of resources are: treasure, talent, technology and time which proposed challenges in revisiting and realligning them in order to respond the relevant needs of the society. This time is pivotal to the phase of instant alteration of conventions which we termed as new normal if ever this miserable situation is continue for long years then our nose and mouth will be misconstrued by the newborn individuals as one of our private bodily parts and to be physically distant to everyone is the best way of living. What I mean is that the new situations instanteneously redifines how one buys commodity, fulfill

CLASSROOM management is a term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by some students. The term also implies the prevention of disruptive behavior. It is possibly the most difficult asp e c t of te aching by many teachers, indeed experiencing problems in this area causes some to leave teaching altogether.

Classroom management is crucial in classrooms because it supports the proper

execution of curriculum development, developing best teaching practices and putting them into action.

Classroom management can be explained as the actions and directions that teachers use to create a successful learning environment, indeed having a positive impact on students achieving given learning requirements and goals.

In an effort to ensure all students receive the best education, it would seem beneficial for educator programs to spend more

time and effort in ensuring educators and instructors are well versed in classroom management. Teachers do not focus on learning classroom management because higher education programs do not put an emphasis on the teacher attaining classroom m a n a g e m e nt . In d e e d , the focus is on creative a conducive learning atmosphere for the student.

Classroom management is closely linked to issues of motivation, discipline and respect.

BIR ditches mayor’s permit as registration requirement

By MARICEL E. LAMPERA

BIR is no longer requiring entrepreneurs to submit a mayor’s permit to register and start operations. The mandatory requirement was scrapped to further enhance the law on easing business transaction with the government.

Applicants must submit complete papers to secure immediate approval. The bureau will not process or approve incomplete or deficient applications. The registration requirements are listed in the circular like applications by self-employed individuals, corporations, partnerships, estates and trusts.

This, as only 24.9 percent of taxpayers paid ahead of the June 15 deadline. The government needs money badly to finance COVID-19 response. Large taxpayers are

those with authorized capitalization of at least P300 million registered with SEC, multinational enterprises with authorized capitalization or assigned capital of at least P300 million, publicly listed corporations, universal, commercial and foreign banks and taxpayers with authorized capitalization of at least P100 million belonging to the banking, insurance, petroleum, telecommunications, utilities, alcohol and tobacco industries and corporate taxpayers engaged in the production of metallic minerals.

Meanwhile, BIR is offering online sellers enticements like financial aid during a national crisis such as COVID-19 to encourage them to list up their small businesses. Such perks are available only to those who register their businesses.

only to open single and double room occupancy (for couples or family members who share the same household).

In addition, the establishments are required to implement temperature screening and disinfection, sanitizing mats or foot baths, floor markers, and hand sanitizers, among many others.

Moreover, Dr. Reden Bersaldo, Action Officer of the Provincial Task Force on COVID-19, requested tourism operators to provide a dedicated space purposely for isolation as a contingency measure. “In case there are guests who develop symptoms, it will serve as a containment area while the authorities are being coordinated for appropriate action,” said Dr. Bersaldo.

For visitors and guests, they are required to wear face masks at all times. As well, they must fill out a ‘health declaration’ form which will indicate their travel history and presence of symptoms.

Bersaldo emphasized that while the province has re-opened tourism and business activities, it will continue to enforce strict health protocols to ensure prevention of COVID19 local transmission.

On June 12, tourism establishments have started to open doors for tourists after the province opened its borders on June 10, loosening up movement restrictions.

This is why asking Him to take charge of your life and living His way every day is not only the right thing to do, it is clearly the smartest thing you can ever do. So once and for all, won’t you decide right now to start following Jesus each day for the rest of your life?

to the earth as their final destiny.

The message is resoundingly clear: man has to continuously move on to seek his destiny but only by being humble can he be exalted. Once he flaunts his arrogance in utter disregard of the book of nature, he dictates his own death sentence. He cannot continuously arrogate upon himself that false belief that he has been bestowed dominion over God’s creation.

On the contrary, there is now the increasing consciousness of bio-equality recognizing the right to life of all God’s creation.

Often disregarded, even the unseen Wind has its own story to tell as its fundamental role is only recognized in its

absence. How can one live without air to breathe yet it is always taken for granted?

Like our love ones whom we have more often than not, taken for granted, yet so integral to us that we cannot live, in fact, without them.

The b o ok of nature presents laws which are very easy to understand but have been violated all these years.

It says that everything is interconnected. When forests are denuded, soil erodes forming silts which are carried by the rivers to the sea, destroying the coral reefs which are the habitats of fish and other marine life. This scenario gives credence to that saying that what evil deeds man does in the uplands are felt by those in the coastal communities.

The worsening ecological disasters are the concrete evidence of why it has become imperative for us to now give high reverence to that book as indeed, there is no such thing as free meal in nature.

Just pause for a while and reflect on the laws of nature that we have wantonly violated and in effect, have mocked the book God Himself has written. Every page of that holy book has been torn and burned by Homo Sapiens with utter disregard to its sanctity as creation is a reflection of the creator.

Now, let us well understand that there is no free meal in nature: all boomerang to our own destruction in terms of ecological disasters and in our inability to sustain life on earth.

Classroom management personalized

By LIEZEL V. ANTONIO Teacher III Prenza Elementary School Prenza, Tangub City

C L A S S R O O M management is beyond making lesson plans. It is b e yond i nte r a c t i ng with each student in the room individually. It is the holistic actions that you do in managing your class as the room adviser.

It can b e as trivial as establishing procedures on when should a student speaks. Many teachers establish these rules at the beginning of the school year. In short, classroom management is the process of ensuring that classroom less ons r un smo othly, implying the prevention of disruptive behavior.

C l a s s r o o m management is closely linked to issues of motivation, discipline and resp e c t. Students will inherit positive consequences when rules are followed. One example

is making the students see how their effort pays off in the classroom. By creating this kind of environment, students will be motivated to do well. Ideally this transforms a classroom into a community of wellbehaved and self-directed students.

Now that we are in the era of online learning, educational management has shif te d l argely to students studying in their own homes without compromising the quality of education. To guide us on how to do this, t he re are e du c at i on a l manage me nt s of t w are available in the market and I believe it is the responsibility of DepEd to purchase such software and download copies at the Division level to be disseminated to individual schools.

BDO cautions clients against fake social media sellers

B

DO Unibank warns clients who shop online against fake sellers. Some of these scammers, often pretending to be page administrators of online shops, bait victims with attractive deals.

They lure interested

buyers in social media and messaging app communities, and urge them into making a deposit immediately to seal the deal.

After getting the payment, they become unreachable.

“Other fake social media sellers post “PM is key,” which means

buyers should send them a private message to know the product’s price and other details.

This tactic is a red flag and against the law. The Republic Act (RA) No. 7394 or the Consumer Act as well as RA No. 7581 require all sellers to display product prices explicitly,” BDO said.

Non-compliance, according to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), can result in a fine from P5,000 to P2 million and may face maximum imprisonment of 15 years. Consumers may report vendors, online or otherwise, who violate this law to the DTI. With the new normal driving more people to shop online, BDO reminds its clients to be wary of vendors they negotiate with on social media. While not all are scammers, some are—so it’s urgently crucial to

stay vigilant and get to know them well before sending them money.

Spotting social media seller scammers There are red flags to identify a fake social media seller: 1. They offer branded products with prices that are unbelievably lower than their market prices.

“All in na po ‘yan!” is a common assurance. As the saying goes: “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

2. They build big expectations to entice and excite the buyer, but do not provide sufficient information about the product’s history and features. “Orig po ‘yan, galing sa US, good quality!” Oftentimes, they give inconsistent answers when buyer clarifies.

3. They are vague and elusive. They provide little to no information about deliveries or return/refund policies.

“Ipa-deliver po namin sa address inyo pag napadala nyo na ang print screen ng bayad” is a usual promise. They also do not have contact information on their profiles.

4. They insist on immediate payments and outside the legitimate shopping website or platform, often via direct deposits to their accounts. “Last stock na po ‘to! Para po masiguradong makuha nyo po ‘to, ipadala nyo na po yung bayad sa bank account ko po imbes po sa shopping website.” They may even offer additional discounts to be more persuasive and rush the purchase.

5. As an alternative payment method, they may ask for the buyer’s credit card numbers to make the transaction themselves. They may even ask for personal information, including

birth dates, mother’s maiden name, and other unique details.

Protecting personal information BDO reminds clients to never allow anyone to make transactions on their behalf by providing their personal information.

“Never give your personal information to anyone because this can be used to steal your identity and money from your bank account.

Personal information includes your OneTime Pins (OTPs) which serves as another layer of protection when you bank online,” the bank said.

OTPs can be used once and only within a short span of time. They are unique six-character codes sent by the bank to complete a mobile number’s registration to BDO Online Banking, and confirm an online transaction.
