Durian sales down DOMESTIC demand for durian, typically high during the harvest season in April and May, fell sharply this year due to lockdowns impose during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis. “People are staying at home,” Candelario B. Miculob, former president of the Davao Durian Industry Association Council, said in an email interview. He said growers had a good crop this season but sales have been low.
Fresh relief for drivers THE government is studying the possibility of giving another round of cash aid to public utility jeepney (PUJ) drivers affected by the community quarantine amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). “Pinag-aaralan na po na bigyan ng pangatlong buwang ayuda ang mga jeepney drivers na nawalan ng hanapbuhay po dahil hindi pa po pinapayagan na bumiyahe ang ating mga jeepney (The government is studying the third tranche of cash aid for jeepney drivers who lost their livelihood because they are not permitted to travel yet),” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a virtual presser from Davao City. Roque said the cash aid will still come from the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act or Republic Act 11469.

Amid COVID crisis, Agusan corn farmers enjoy bumper harvest By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN, Contributing Editor
LOS ARCOS, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur--- Amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis, farmers here expect a much better bumper harvest of their 10-hectare corn fields, an area here which have been consistent national awardee since 2017 for Good Agricultural Practices
(GAP) by the Department of Agriculture. The farmers tilling the 10-hectare model farms under the Corn Production Livelihood Program of the National Center of Electric Cooperative Consumers, Inc. (NCECCO), are expected to harvest at least 11 metric tonnes (MT) of corn grits per
hectare of the hybrid pioneer corn variety in the next ten days. Lorenzo Mandahuyan, consultant of the program who is a retired municipal agricultural technician, said NCECCO program farmerbeneficiaries will gain an improved production since he had devoted more of his time teaching them better HARVEST/PAGE 7

DA gives livestock to Bukidnon IPs for food production
KITAOTAO, Bukidnon -- The Indigenous People (IPs) of Kitaotao town received farm animals worth P346,000 from the Department of Agriculture in Region 10 (DA-10)-Special Area for Agricultural Development (SAAD) Program. Bae Merry Anne S. Lindongan, women’s leader of the Lorega Ancestral Management and Development for All Generation (LAMDAG) received 10 heads of carabao and 10 heads of goat for their communal farm, mostly planted with corn.

NFA-10 explains palay aid, rice release price
T
HE sacks of rice distributed by DSWD and LGUs from NFA nowadays are fresh and newly milled from the palay we procured from our farmers in the region since last harvest season. This is a wellmilled rice just like the commercial rice sold at the markets at P40-45 per kilo.” Engr. John Robert R. Hermano, National Food Authority (NFA)10 regional director explained in one of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Session hearings citing its
judicious release of government subsidized rice which is in good quality as distributed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and local government units (LGUs). Under the Rice Tariffication Law (RA 11203), NFA-10 is no longer allowed to import rice as it is mandated to maintain sufficient buffer rice stock through procurement solely from local farmers. NFA-10 buys “palay” (unhusked rice) up to P19 per kg depending on the percentage of its moisture content, purity, and damaged and discolored kernels. The agency observes high quality standards as it buys palay so as to produce and maintain
good quality rice in its inventory for buffer stocks. To come up with a price estimate on rice trading, the commercial price of rice is obtained from the doubled farmgate price. As NFA enters into a third party contract for its operational activities, it incurs operational expenses for its handling, trucking and milling services. Thus, with the agency’s P19/ kg buying price, the government incurs a total break-even cost of P38/kg. The P25 release price of NFA is subsidized by the government for its social function. Under this operating system, NFA-10's field offices at present prioritize the release of NFA
rice to identified relief agencies to ensure that such losses will serve its purpose. Both NFA palay support price of P19 and its rice release price of P25 per kilogram are set by the NFA Council. Chaired by the Department of Agriculture (DA) secretary, the NFA Council is composed of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP), Department of Finance (DOF), National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), Representative from the Office of the President, Farmer Sector Representative, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and NFA as vice chair. In response to COVID-19 pandemic, NFA-10 has served a total of 138,342 bags of 50 kgs rice requirements of government relief agencies from March 19 to June 2, broken down as follows: 38,352 bags to DSWD and its local units in the region; 99,870 bags to the LGUs, and 120 bags to legislators, namely Senators Cynthia Villar and Grace Poe.

Metro Pacific provides PPEs to Mindanao hospitals
M
ETRO Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC) has provided personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontliners in hospitals, medical institutions and local government units in Mindanao in their fight against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The move comes as MPIC Chairman Manuel V.
Pangilinan in the early days of the pandemic cited the need to increase the PPE supply and mobilized companies in the group to prioritize the health and safety of health workers in hospitals under the group. The group expanded its supply reach to hospitals outside its network, especially those in Davao and Zamboanga that have reported high cases of the dreaded disease.
DTI adjusts grace period for residential, commercial rent THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) released on Tuesday Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 20-29 providing that the grant of a minimum 30-day grace period on residential and commercial rents shall commence from lifting of covered community quarantine. This changed the previous MC guidelines which determined the start of the 30-day grace period
from “the last due date of rent which fell within the ECQ.” The DTI made the amendments as the InterAgency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) expanded the lockdown measures from enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) to modified ECQ, general community quarantine (GCQ), and modified DTI/PAGE 7
Through PLDT Inc.’s logistical resources, the full PPE kits were flown to Mindanao and delivered to the hospitals for distribution to their determined recipients. Each kit included a surgical face mask, an N95 facemask, a disposable head cap, disposable shoe covers, a disposable surgical gown and a pair of anti-fog goggles or a faceshield.
MPIC said the kits were given to Dr. Jorge P. Royeca Hospital in General Santos City, Cotabato Regional Medical Center, Bishop Joseph Regan Memorial Hospital in Tagum, Kidapawan Doctors Hospital, Zamboanga City Medical Center, South Cotabato Provincial Hospital in Koronadal, and Northern Mindanao Medical Center in Cagayan de Oro City.
The recipient local government units are Butuan City, Agusan del Norte province, and Surigao del Norte province, through its four Mindanao hospitals. The provision was intended to augment the depleting number of protective equipment used by their doctors, nurses, and hospital staff during the two month-long COViD-19 defense.
Consumer group vows to help guard lower medicine prices LABAN Konsyumer Inc. (LKI) has vowed to help the government in monitoring retail prices of drugs and medicines as Executive Order 104 regulating their prices took effect Tuesday. “Laban Konsyumer will strictly monitor the full compliance of the maximum drug retail price and that consumers continue to have access to affordable and quality
medicines,” LKI president and founder Victorio Mario Dimagiba said in a text message Wednesday. The new EO 104 “Improving Access to Healthcare through Regulation of Prices in the Retail of Drugs and Medicines” imposes maximum retail price (MRP) and/or maximum wholesale price (MWP) on 87 drug molecules or 133 drug formulas.
Price ceiling under MRP applies to retailers and customers, while MWP applies to wholesalers, distributors, or traders and retailers. Under the new EO, medicine prices were reduced by as much as 50 percent. Medicines included in the EO are those for hypertension, diabetes, chronic pain, asthma, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, and breast, lung, colorectal cancers, chronic kidney disease, psoriasis, and depression. A week before the EO took effect, the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Association of the Philippines (PHAP) appealed to the government to review MEDICINE/PAGE 7

Man of the house Think a minute . . . Chris Spielman was a professional football player in the U.S. for 10 years. He was famous for his aggressive playing and tough tackling. But just before the 1998 professional football season, his wife discovered she had cancer. Chris chose to sit out an entire year of his professional career so he could give full-time care to his sick wife. He, in fact, helped her win her fight against cancer. A ye ar l ate r at t h e b eg inning of t he 1999 football season, when he was returning to his career, Chris Spielman injured his neck so badly that he was forced to stop playing professional football for the rest of his life. Think of the sacrifice this husband made to take care of his wife. He never played professional football again. Yet Spielman told news reporters that he gladly chose to stop playing to care for his sick wife, since he loves her and their children much more than his career as a professional athlete. This is what he said to reporters: “I told my wife Stephanie that

conducting protest rallies daily for more than a week now ignited by the unjust k i l l i n g of an A f r i c an American, Mr. George Floyd, by Law Enforcers. The strong message is ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Such brought to the fore the truism that hundreds, if not thousands of black Americans, have already been killed under arrest in silence. What made the killing of George Floyd different was it was on video showing the victim failing to breathe for almost nine minutes when the law enforcer put his knee on the victim’s neck in utter disregard to the victim’s plea that he could not breathe The protesters by the t h o u s a n d s a re b r av e l y converging, not minding the serious threat of the corona virus pandemic which has already killed more than 100,000 Covid-19 victims in
the US which is the highest in the world and in utter disregard to Pres. Trump’s deployment of the National Guards to stop the increasing protests, the passion for justice and equality keeps the fire burning in the hearts of the Americans, irrespective of class, color, race or gender. In fact, many Filipinos in the US are among the protesters. Indeed, the protesters are looking beyond the horizon, focusing more on deep inequality, climate change, racial, social and economic injustices being perpetuated by an economic mo del called neo-liberal capitalism perpetuated especially by global corporations not only in the United States but in the whole world. That truism is very true in the Philippines, more particularly in Mindanao especially in the life of the Indigenous People. I have
known the pains of the Indigenous People when I began my stint as Editor of the School Organ in a State University. I visited a group of Higaonon and Manobo in Barrio Panalsalan, Maramag, Bukidnon and was so surprised to see the IPs in a barrio fenced by a rich and powerful Congressman from the Visayas, turning their barrio into a ranch surrounded by six feet barbed wire. They could not benefit from their crops as the cows were the first to “harvest.” When they go to the Chapel, they could hardly find their way as cows were moving around. The children were entering the classrooms in the presence of the cows. Every time they shoo away the cows, they would be arrested, accused of malicious mischief. In FORCE/PAGE 7

JUN LEDESMA REMEMBER Agnes Calllamard? She is the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR) special rapporteur investigating the mythical extrajudicial killings and human rights violence that detained Senator Leila de Lima and out-of-sync former S en. Antonio Tr i l l anes who importuned President Rodrigo Duterte. Well, what do you know? Amidst the unprecedented
scale of violence and deaths in the pandemic-stricken United States of America, Callamard emerged from the blue to resume her manic diatribes against Duterte. This time she denounced the government for its strict enforcement of rules and regulations at the height of enhanced community q u a r a nt i n e . C a l l a m a rd made a big issue out of the presence of military men but skirted the fact that they were called to help in the enforcement of law order and in most instances aid in the delivery of foodstuffs and cash assistance to families that had lost their livelihood on account of the pandemic. Agnes Callamard is not only shooting from the hips but as usual, with blinders. Had she been true to her calling, she should have castigated and denounced first the magnitude of human
rights abuses and violence that are taking place around her. The brutal killing of George Floyd in the hands o f M i n n e ap o l i s p o l i c e authorities has enraged people all over America and by the looks of it the riots and violence have not yet seen the peak. The fault of Floyd: he used a counterfeit 20-dollar bill for a pack of cigarettes. There is no telling yet whether he himself was a victim since there have been no adverse reports yet that came out of the probe. George Floyd, a black man, was accosted and handcuffed by police officers who tackled him on the pavement. He as well as some onlookers pleaded for his life but the officer persisted on pressing his knee on the neck of the victim which eventually killed him. The brutal killing sparked protests all over the USA. As
I write this piece people are out of the streets unmindful of their exposure to Covid-19 pandemic that claimed the lives of thousands of Americans. The National Guards had been called to come to t he re s c ue of over w helmed p olice authorities. For now, they are using rubber bullets against the crowds but had seriously inflicted wounds to demonstrators including a number of journalists covering the events. Why UNCHR and Agnes Callamard renewed their tirade against Philippine President Duterte instead of denouncing the brutalities and violence that have reached Trump’s tower in Chicago and the doorsteps of the United Nations truly partakes of the incorrigible prejudice of the Human Rights Commission and CALLAMARD/PAGE 7
The cornerstone, the vine JHAN TIAFAU HURST I want to be the one who takes her to the doctor for medicine and treatments. I want to be the one who holds her hand. I want to be the one who takes care of our kids when she is not able to.” It takes a truly strong man to let go of his own desires and dreams, so he can take care of his wife’s and children’s needs first. But that may be what it takes to be the “man of the house” that our wife and kids really need. Our challenge is that we do not naturally have that kind of inner strength and character to put our wife and children first. Yet that is what a real leader does: he serves the ones he is leading, even if HOUSE/PAGE 7
It’s good that we review the parables of the cornerstone (cfr. Mk 12,1-12) and the vine (cfr. Jn 15,1-17) if only to strengthen our conviction that we need to be united to Christ. We have to understand that in this condition, there should be no exception whatever our circumstances, views and positions in life may be. Especially when our differences and conflicts become sharper and more, and the possibility of committing mistakes is huge, we need to realize more deeply that in the end what matters is whether we are with Christ or not. The ultimate reason is that we come from God and we belong to him. And Christ who is made alive in us through the Holy Spirit is the son of God who is the very pattern of our humanity that is created in God’s image and likeness, and the redeemer of
our humanity that is damaged by sin. We cannot be without Christ. It would be crazy on our part to be otherwise. We have to understand that Christ is the cornerstone that holds together all the other building blocks of the over-all edifice that is supposed to be the people and the family of God of which we are supposed to be the organic parts, the living stones as St. Peter described us. (cfr. 1 Pt 2,5) He is also the vine that gives life and fruitfulness to all the branches. Especially in these times of the COVID-19 when even the men of science and other experts have different and even conflicting views on the matter, leading us to also have different and conflicting positions, we should see to it that all of us are united in Christ. That, in the end, is what matters. Wit h C h r i s t a s t h e
cornerstone and vine in our life, everything will be taken care of. Christ not only gives us life and fruitfulness. He is the very principle of unity among the very wide diversity that we can find ourselves in. He knows how to make everything work for the common good, much like in a synergy. Even our mistakes, failures and sins, so unavoidable in our life, can be taken advantage of by him to work for the good. With him, our mistakes can be corrected, our wounds and illnesses can be healed, our weaknesses can be appropriately supported. And those that cannot be solved anymore humanly speaking, he knows what to do. What is impossible with us is always possible with him. We should do everything to be truly united to him. We should pray and look for him

Dul-an 300 stranded OFWs, LSIs nakapauli na’s MisOr DUL-AN 300 ka stranded overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) ug Locally Stranded Individuals (LSIs) ang nakapauli sa Misamis Oriental sukad Mayo 25 hangtud Mayo 31, 2020. Nahimo kining posible tungod sa paningkamot sa Provincial Task Force for COVID-19 sa pagpangulo ni Task Force chief Dr. Jerie Calingasan, ug sa hangyo ni Gov. Bambi Emano nga dili gayud sila pasagdan magdugay pa sa Luzon o bisan asang dapit kung diin dunay kompirmadong
local transmission sa coronavirus disease 2019. Mikabat sa 262 ka OFWs ug 37 ka LSIs ang malampuson nga nakapauli sa lalawigan human makompleto ang rekisitos ug uban pang dokumentaryo sa ilang byahe pauli. Kaabag sa Task Force ang Department of Tourism – Region 10, Overseas Workers Welfare Administration - Region 10, Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, local chief executives sa 23 ka lungsod ug duha ka dakbayan
sa Misamis Oriental, Provincial Health Office ug Public Employment Services Office (PESO). Si Atty. Jeffrey Saclot, ang tigpamaba sa Interagency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases sa Misamis Oriental, nagkanayon dili tiaw ang screening ug profiling sa returning stranded individuals, lakip na ang 14-day mandatory quarantine sa mga Barangay Isolation Units (BUIs) una pa sila nakapauli sa ilang tagsatagsa ka pamilya.
Kawani sa kapitolyo, gitagsaa’g thermometer
GIHINGUSGAN pa sa Provincial Task Force for COVID-19 ug ni Gov. Bambi Emano ang depensa batok sa coronavirus disease 2019, pinaagi sa paghatag tagsa ka thermometer ang mga empleyado sa kapitolyo niadtong Martes, Hunyo 2, 2020. Sa primero, nakurat ang mga kawani sa kapitolyo, apan nakasabot ra gihapon sa katuyoan ni Health Officer ug concurrent Provincial Task Force for COVID-19
chief Dr. Jerie Calingasan ug Gov. Emano, aron sila na mismo mokuha sa ilang kaugalingong body temperature kaduha matag adlaw. Matud sa duha ka opisyal, bisan anaa na sa MGCQ kon luag nga paglihok-lihok sa mga tawo, samot palig-unon ang depensa sa matag usa pinaagi sa pagsuta sa body temperature matag karon ug unya. Dili man gud mahimo nga kanunay dunay mosuta sa kainit sa ilang lawas, apan maayo
nga ang mga empleyado na mismo adunay responsibilidad sa ilang kaugalingon. Matag adlaw’ng Biernes, kolektahon sa matag ulo sa departamento ang recorded body temperature sa matag kawani sa kapitolyo aron sa pagsuta kon angay ba kini ipaubos sa makuting health safety protocols. Kung ang body temperature 37.7 degrees celcius, itaho gilayon kini sa PHO aron maatiman.

DOH-10 urges vulnerable sector to be more cautious amid new normal CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- The Department of Health (DOH) is now intensifying its services for the vulnerable sectors in the midst of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
DOH-10 Regional Director Adriano Subaan said the health department would look after the health of the vulnerable groups in the society such as senior citizens, pregnant women, people with underlying
health problems during this time of transition to the new normal. As COVID-19 is attacking the victim’s respiratory system and aggravating the condition of individuals with underlying health issues, DOH-10 is now looking at individuals who are at high-risk and vulnerable to the virus. Suba-an reiterated the guidelines to be observed by the public especially the vulnerable individuals as follows: to stay at home unless necessary, to wear a face mask, always carry hand sanitizer or alcohol when going out, apply physical distancing, avoid mass gatherings, proper handwashing etiquette, maintain a healthy lifestyle and to give importance to mental health.
“We want to advocate and protect our high-risk people around us. This is the new normal and we need to help each other. And for our vulnerable brothers and sisters, we encourage them to utilize our family health services to mitigate the spread of the virus," DOH10 Health Education and Promotion Officer (HEPO) Aian Rebollido Caridad said. In addition, they want to encourage the public to see this as an opportunity to give service to the public, which starts from seeing the bigger picture, as how one acts can ripple throughout the whole community. The DOH-10 would like to emphasize that we are all connected, and each of our actions can affect the flow of the crisis. (VPSB/PIA10)

Norte to be taken out of the list of the country's 20 Poorest Provinces in five years. “This is the formula that we will embrace -- identify the strengths of an area, develop and strengthen it and set a target and timetable. This will be the same formula which we will use as we wade into the ring in the fight against poverty in the other provinces of Mindanao,” he added. Being the MinDA chair, he urged the workers of the agency that even as they pursue such big-ticket projects like the Mindanao Railway System, Economic Zones, and others, the poverty incidence in the different provinces should also be given focus. "Discover the strengths and re s ou rc e s of e a ch province and use those as the foundations in building a people-based economy which could withstand the shifting political sands. This was my marching order to the MinDA staff,” Piñol said. “I have decided to establish a MinDA satellite office in Roxas, Zamboanga del Norte
because I believe that if we really would like to fight poverty, we should jump inside the ring and do the fighting, he added. He said that the making of bottled Spanish Sardines, which is premium compared to the canned Sardines with tomato sauce, has long been a home industry in the province but the lack of access to the market of fishermen's families prevented it from attaining its full potentials in improving people's lives. “The thrust now is to organize the wives and daughters of fishermen and improve their skills in making Spanish Sardines while supp or ting them with the basic equipment and infrastructure for the industry,” he said.

Republic of the Philippines REGIONAL TRIAL COURT OF LANAO DEL NORTE 12TH Judicial Region BRANCH 07 Tubod, Lanao del Norte IN RE:
PETITION FOR CANCELLATION OF THE CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH OF HYATHEA MARIE YRAY MAGLANGIT Otherwise known as HYATHEA XANTHEA MARIE MAGLANGIT ARELLANO in the OFFICE OF THE MUNICIPAL CIVIL REGISTRAR OF KOLAMBUGAN LANAO DEL NORTE under Registry Number 87-464.
SPL. PROC. NO. 349-07-2020
HYTHEA MARIE YRAY MAGLANGIT, represented By FLORENCE O. PEROCHO, her attorney-in-fact., Petitioner. -VersusThe LOCAL CIVIL REGISRAR OF KOLAMBUGAN, LANAO DEL NORTE. Respondent. X -----------------------------------------------------------------------/ ORDER Filed before this Court is a Petition for cancellation of the Birth Certificate of HYATHEA MARIE YRAY MAGLANGIT otherwise known as HYATHEA XANTHEA MARIE MAGLANGIT ARELLANO in the Office of the Local Civil Registrar of Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte by the herein Petitioner through her Attorney-In-Fact, FLORENCE O. PEROCHO, praying among others that upon due notice, publication and hearing, judgment be issued granting the petition. Petitioner is a Filipino, of legal age, single, and a resident of Lower Austin Heights, Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte and now presently residing at Apt. 1L #20 San Pablo St., Kapitolyo, Pasig City. Respondent is sued in her official capacity as such. The petitioner is the daughter of MARIA FE YRAY MAGLANGIT and RUBEN OKAMURA CABALLERO who was born on August 21, 1987 at Balagatasa, Maigo, Lanao del Norte. That during her birth, her mother was not married yet to her father. That at the instance of her grandmother, MATERNA CAPANGPANGAN YRAY, her birth was registered at the Local Civil Registrar of Maigo, Lanao del Norte who assumed herself to be the mother of the petitioner with pure intention of protecting her then unmarried daughter MARIE FE YRAY MAGLANGIT and the family and with the honest belief that the best interest of the child may be served, made it to appear that she was the mother of the petitioner. In order to correct the erroneous entries found in the Certificate of Live Birth of the petitioner registered in the Local Civil Registrar of Maigo, Lanao del Norte, petitioner filed a Petition for Correction of Entries before the Regional Trial Court of Branch 1, Iligan City which was decided on April 19, 2018 by Honorable Ali M. Balindong and the Certificate of Finality was issued on December 28, 2018. When the petitioner went to the Office of the Philippine Statistics Office (PSA) in order to secure the authenticated copy of her Certificate of Live Birth registered at the Local Civil Registrar of Maigo, Lanao del Norte, she was surprised to find out that her birth was previously registered in the Office of the Local Civil Registrar of Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte on 9-27-87. There is no showing therein who is the informant. In effect, there is a double registration of birth of her birth, one in the Local Civil Registrar of Maigo, Lanao del Norte and the other one, is the one registered in the Office of the Local Civil Registrar of Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte. That while the late registration of birth of petitioner was entered on September5 30, 1991, however, petitioner has been using that Certificate of Live Birth, one that was registered in the Local Civil Registrar of Maigo, Lanao del Norte. In fact, it was that Birth Certificate which she petitioned in Court for Correction and Change of her name. That the existence of that Certificate of Live Birth registered in the Office of the Local Civil Registrar of Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte had resulted to the obstacle and bar to her personal interest. That in order to attain and sustain her best interest and benefit, there is a need to cancel the record of her birth in the Office of the Local Civil Registrar of Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte. That the cancellation of her first Certificate of Live Birth would not prejudice the interest of any person or government. On the contrary, it will result to the best interest of the petitioner. Set the initial hearing of this petition to August 26, 2020 at 8:30 in the morning before the sala of this Court. Any person interested to the said petition may come to Court on said date and time to show cause why said petition should not be granted. Furnish copy of this Order to the Office of the Solicitor General in Makati City, the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Tubod, Lanao del Norte, the Office of the Local Civil Registrar of Kolambugan of Lanao del Norte, the Philippine Statistics Authority at East Avenue, Quezon City, Atty. Dorothea S. Basalo, the Petitioner’s counsel and to the Petitioner Hyathea Marie Yray Maglangit of Apt. 1L #20 San Pablo St., Kapitolyo, Pasig City through her Attorney-in-Fact, Florence O. Perocho at her known address. Let copy of the Order containing the petition be published in a newspaper of general circulation for three (3) consecutive weeks at the expense of the petitioner. Another copy be posted at the Bulletin Board of this Court. SO ORDERED. June 03, 2020. Tubod, Lanao del Norte. BWM: June 5, 12 & 19, 2020

MinDA will work on this with the help of other line agencies of government, including its partner ODAs (overseas development assistance) who have been involved in the peace and development efforts in Mindanao,” he added. He also vowed to assist the poor fishing families in the coastal areas, as MinDA will craft programs for those living in the agricultural and upland areas of the 700,000-hectare province. Piñol also said that tree farming, along with highvalue products like cacao, coffee, mango, abaca, and others could also help reduce poverty in the hinterlands of the province. “In our consultative meetings with the leaders of the province, it was agreed that MinDA will partner with the local government unit in implementing these programs,” he said.

Meeting the challenges of education in this time of pandemic ANA MARY NABO GO MT-1 Jasaan Central School Upper Jasaan, Jaasaan, Misamis Oriental
“It takes a village to educate a child,” there goes an old maxim that has become famous anew in this time of pandemic. In the fight of stopping the spread of coronavirus, strict measures were implemented by the government. Events t hat encourage crowd gathering are being put into halt. Residents are ordered to stay home unless they have important tasks to do outside. Physical distancing, washing hands regularly and using alcohols to disinfect, among others are made as "new normal." Education however has to continue and will be done following the new normal. T he s cho ol s , p are nt s , students and communities need to join hand in hand
that midst the pandemic, classes were to continue. Putting classes online and in modular is the current strategy of education sector decision-makers. Online classes, having said, is attending classes through the use of internet and respective gadgets. Teacher an d stu d e nt s i nte r a c t through a screen as if in they are in the same place. Modular on the other hand is using the modules supplied by education department. This is beneficial especially to those who cannot purchase gadgets and loads to allow attending the online learning. Now, what is the role of parents in their child’s education, given the introduction of new types of
delivery of lessons? Needless to say, their role is essential. Teachers are not physically with the child, therefore, parents’ intervention is needed such as guiding the child to consistently attend on schedule or checking if instructions in the modules are strictly followed. Indeed, very basic but important. It will sustain the child’s learning throughout the adjustment phase. The pandemic has caused fear to all entities but to some, life should not stop running so as to educating our children. Trying out different strategies other than traditional ones is truly challenging but who knows, even America was explored by Columbus through a believing in a theory first.

at times it costs him his own personal needs and wants. This is why God showed us the perfect example of a real man and leader when He humiliated Himself by becoming a human being to suffer, die and sacrifice Himself for us whom He deeply loves. And Jesus wants to give you His same power and strength of character so you can become a true man and servant-leader of your family. A husband and father who will do whatever it costs to give the true love and leadership your wife and children need. That’s the only way you can provide for them the secure, happy life they long for. Won’t you ask Jesus to start changing your heart and character as the true “man of the house?” Just think a minute .

fact one Christmas time in the ‘70s, some 25 of them spent their Christmas inside the prison in Maramag, Bukidnon for just shooing away the cows that were e at i n g t h e i r c ro p s . In desperation, a father put Thiodan in the family’s food during dinner and after that, he then ate the remaining food to commit suicide. What was worse was when a head of the family became insane, set fire to his house with his family inside. I took pictures of the burnt house and narrated their sad stories in an article entitled, A Barrio in a Cage. After the publication, I was arrested and put to prison for libel after all the threats by the armed cowboys to silence me. The Panalsalan stor y is just a tip of the iceberg.

It was their forefathers’. But not anymore. A series of evictions came beginning in the 1930s up to the 1970s when powerful clans in Bukidnon turned the land into cattle ranch and grazing areas.
What could be more painful for our IPs than to see vast tracts of land that once their forefathers owned, now converted into massive plantations as 70% of the land areas of Mindanao (the choicest) are controlled by TNCs! Where are the dipterocarp forest where their ancestors had lived sustainably for thousands of years? The finest timber in the world had gone to the powerful and influential loggers as our country has supplied the timber needs of the world in the last one hundred years. All the IPs are asking now is for their rights to be respected especially rights to their ancestral domain that include water rights. They are also appealing that those that they considered sacred, i.e., Mindamora Falls should not be tampered upon for money making purposes of the rich and powerful. For so long, the issue that they have been advocating a re j u s t v oi c e s i n t h e wilderness. Today, with one collective voice through their cooperatives, they are advancing the empowering path under the Present Dispensation that is now empowering the IPs through cooperativism.

He will teach us how to be charitable in a way that was expressed eloquently by St. Paul when he said: “Bear each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Gal 6,2) So, let’s not waste time fighting each other. If there is anything to clarify, to suggest or to correct, let’s do it charitably, never in anger, envy or hatred. Of course, for us to do this, we need always to be humble, keeping under control our ego that is always eager to dominate regardless… Let us spread this Good News about Christ as the cornerstone and vine of our life. Not only should we teach and preach it. We have to act it out and live it. With this COVID-19 time, we actually have a golden opportunity to learn this precious lesson, to live it and spread it around more widely!

This shall apply regardless of whether or not lessee opts to go back to work or resume business operation,” the MC 20-29 said. During the Laging Handa public briefing Tuesday, DTI Undersecretary Ruth Castelo said tenants have the option of paying the cumulative rents in monthly installment for six months. “The requirement is they will execute a promissory note or any letter indicating their intention to pay in installment and give it to their landlord or landowner,” Castelo said.

inspiring teen visual artist
I
By MARK FRANCISCO, Lifestyle Editor
N these trying times where many adults wave endless tantrums and behave like kids instead of helping each other, it’s inspiring to note that one teen is behaving like an adult in her own simple way by inspiring others through art.
Fifteen-year-old Nhadine Deatras – an incoming tenth grader at Misamis Oriental General Comprehensive High School (MOGCHS) here in Cagayan de Oro City – is making productive use of the seemingly endless quarantine period by painting. And not only that, Nhadine has just created a vlog to galvanize fellow teens to discover their artistic inclinations and be like her. Instead of whining about “lost” time due to COVID-19 restrictions, Nhadine turned to art to continue being productive. “By this time, we’re supposed to already do practices in school as a band
majorette. Now I’m using idle time to do art, showcase them online and be an inspiration to others,” she quipped in this interview. Indeed her decision paid off. Nhadine has already sold quite a few pieces of art work in these four months of quarantine not just here but abroad many thanks to her mom who flaunted her works online. “Many of my mom’s friends were impressed and they started inquiring. That’s why in just a few weeks, I have already sold portraitures in color and charcoal to clients in Iran, India and the UK,” she went on. Nhadine’s discovery of her
artistic skills started when a family friend stayed for a few months in their home along Corrales avenue. This artist-friend introduced her to the wonderful world of art and to her surprise, she easily learned because she already had that innate talent. “He taught me how to draw portraits, how to mix colors,” Nhadine recalled. That friend has since transferred to Cebu. Fast forward two years later today, Nhadine already has a small art studio in their abode plenty of murals and portraitures (some are
already done, some are works in progress). Whether it’s in charcoal, color pencil, oil paint or latex, Nhadine tries to be in her excellent form when doing each piece. “Never compare yourself to other artists. Rather, you can compare yourself through your past works and ask, could have I done better?” Nhadine talked in of her YouTube videos. Nhadine Deatras can be contacted on Facebook (Nhadine O. Deatras), Instagram (NhadineArts) or YouTube (Nhadine Deatras).
