ISAMIS Oriental: The prov incial government of Misamis Oriental distributes 64 brand-ne w vehicles worth P118.5 million for the prov inci a l c apitol department heads Thursday.

Quezon LGU forges ties with DA to steer farmers towards higher yield MAYOR Pablo M. Lorenzo III of Quezon municipality in Bukidnon province recently requested the Department of Agriculture in Northern Mindanao (DA-10) to support the town’s overall goal of increasing farmers’ income and improving livelihoods.

The mayor sought DA’s a s s i s t an c e p ar t i c u l ar ly on animal dispersal programs; abaca, vegetable and fruit production; and farm mechanization strategy, among other agriinterventions to help local farmers earn more amid the

Ozamiz to penalize health protocol violators

O

ZAMIZ CITY, Misamis Occidental--As COVID-19 cases continue to rise, Mayor Sancho Fernando Oaminal issued a memorandum addressed to the chief of police of Ozamiz to arrest violators of the minimum health protocols especially those who are not wearing or improperly wearing face masks. The mayor also implemented the local ordinance to penalize those who are caught without face masks or not wearing proper face masks with P3,000. During a press conference, May 7, Oaminal raised his concern over residents who still fail to observe the proper wearing of face masks when outside

amidst the ongoing threat of the pandemic. “Wear face masks to protect yourself and your families and everyone. The best and the most effective way to stop the spread of the virus is to follow the minimum health protocols,“ Oaminal said. On the fees imposed, the mayor reiterated that the government doesn’t want the people’s money as the former targets to get everybody’s cooperation. Thus, he urges the residents to continue on wearing a mask in situations where they would be close to other people. “Atong makontrol basta kita magtinabangay, basta kita mucooperate. Suportahan nato ang atong gobyerno (We can control the virus if we cooperate. Let us support

our government),” he said. As for the continuation of vaccination, Oaminal encouraged residents to get vaccinated because it is safe and it is necessary in order to recover from the virus. Despite the pandemic and expenses that the city is facing to end the pandemic, Oaminal assured that the Asenso Ozamiz administration is doing its best to continue giving the best services to Ozamiznons. “Hangyo mi mag-uban ta nga atong undangon ang pagkalat sa virus sa atong dakbayan (We are pleading to everyone to help us contain the spread of the virus in the city) by wearing face masks and by observing social distancing. We can only stop the spread if we do it together, help each other.”

NHA to provide free engineering, architectural design assistance for Marawi IDPs By CLAIRE R. GIGJE

MARAWI CITY-The National Housing Authority (NHA) through its Marawi Project Management Office (MPMO) is set to render free engineering and architectural design assistance for homeowners of the city’s most affected area (MAA) in line with the upcoming observance of Marawi Week of Peace on May 17 to 23 this year. Jamaloding Baute, Community Support Services Assistant of the NHA-MPMO, shared in the recent episode of Mashuara sa Radyo Pilipinas of DXSO that NHA will have its own booth at the Provincial

Capitol Gymnasium amid the anticipated celebration wherein at least four engineering and architectural designs will be presented to IDPs in which they can choose their preferred design. “Ang focus po natin is ang free design kasi nasa stage po tayo ngayon sa ground zero ng Kathagombalay which is kasali po ang NHA. As our GM’s commitment, walang kahit isang IDP ang hindi pwedeng magapply. Kailangan lahat ma-cater para sa ating architectural design dahil sa pagkakaalam natin, mahal po ang pagpapadesign,” he said as he reminded the listeners of the Kathagombalay, the processing of applications to secure permits and clearances for repair and construction of structures in MAA. [Our focus is free design because we are in a stage of the Kathagombalay for ground zero in which NHA is part. As our GM’s commitment, no IDP will not have the chance to apply. Everyone must be catered in our architectural design because as we know, [house] designing is expensive.] Baute also stressed that part of the inclusion of the assistance package is the cost estimate and technical plans. He further reiterated that engineering and architectural designs are requisite for Kathagombalay and that as per documented basis, the Task Force Bangon Marawi shall only allow homeowners to construct or repair their property in MAA if they successfully secure their own necessary permits. The NHA-MPMO also announced that there will be no posted schedule per barangay for the availing of the said DESIGN/PAGE 11

Surceasing the SAP?

The COVID-19 pandemic is the defining global health crisis of the modern time and the greatest challenge we have faced since World War II. As has been experienced, the pandemic is much more than a health crisis, it's also an unprecedented socioeconomic crisis. It creates devastating social, economic and political effects that will surely leave deep and longstanding scars. Every day, people are losing jobs and income, with no way of knowing when normality will return. The April 2021 data showed that unemployment rate is now at 17.7%, which means that 7.3 million Filipinos have become jobless. At the onset of this p and e m ic, w he n st r ic t community quarantines were imposed to arrest the spread of the virus, the national government has implemented the Social Amelioration Program to support the economically

The right motivation Think a minute… A school teacher was complaining about a little boy in her class who was not showing any interest in learning. She said: “David will not do his school work. He’s not even motivated to try!” But that same boy, David, will jump out of bed early in the morning to go fishing or play with his friends. He just needs the right motivation. Ever yone can be motivated. Just watch people leaving work on Friday. Even at the end of a long week of work, they still have plenty of motivation and energy to party that evening and throughout the weekend! Maybe you had a school teacher who made a certain subject interesting and exciting to you. He or she inspired and gave you the desire to learn. They explained things so you could clearly understand, and as a result you did much better in that teacher’s class than the other ones. B u t w e p a re nt s a re our kids’ most important teachers.

However, it is never an excuse to just let it stay as it is. The failure calls for actions, to say the least. The most pronounced is the need of a national database system which will be used not only for any SAP tranches but for relevant social welfare programs in the future.

JUN LEDESMA THIS brouhaha about debates over Scarborough and Duterte on a jet ski is nothing but boredom inducers. The previous administration gave it up and even allowed China to do reclamation work using the soil mined from the mountains of Zambales and mine tailings from Tawi-Tawi islands. Tonying Carpio and Berting del Rosario convinced Noynoy Aquino that they go to the Hague, hire judges to set up an arbitral court so they

can take back what they have given up. They knew that China will not participate in that moro-moro. Of course, that court ruled in their favor but there is nothing in that ruling which tells China to give back the island and other rocks around it to the Philippines. Debate? What would the proposition be? Will one still subject to a debate on the indubitable fact that the immediate past administration gave up the Panatag shoal? The more Carpio and Del Rosario fan the embers of that lost cause, the more they expose their motives. Did it ever occur to them that one day people will unearth why the Philippine panel would bring a retinue of about 50 people to watch that zarzuela at the Hague? There is really nothing in Hague to entertain them, but the steamy Amsterdam is just a wink away. If Joma

loves it there when he gets bored at Ultrech why not the 50 hangers-on? Uncle Sam will not go to war for the Philippines over that sheet of paper, as Digong would aptly describe it. Tonying and Berting are now pushing Digong to go to war for them. Look what happens to Hamas when they taunted the might of Israel. And now come to the childish stooges of the Otso Deretso having a photo taken of them with a jet ski. The jesters posted it on Facebook to remind us of Digong’s electoral ‘promise’ that he would ride a jet ski and plant the Philippine flag in the Scarborough. This after Digong declared that those who believe his joke about the jet ski ride are plain idiots. But what could be more shocking than the Ruling Party President, Manny Pakyaw, b elie ving the Chairman’s joke? He also

belittles Digong foray in engaging China’s Pres. Xi Jinping in a bilateral talk instead of following the line of Carpio and Del Rosario and their cabal. Frankly, I still cannot understand why President Digong is keeping a rat in his closet. Melvin Matibag, of PDP-Laban bared that party members are not comfortable with pugilist Pakyaw singing the opposition tune. When one sums up all the incendiary speeches and grandstanding these all boil down to the 2022 elections. Consider these: Tonying C ar pio had this dream of running for President. Thus he mounted a stage along with a coterie of whatever vestiges are left in the Aquino administration, the crumbling Liberal Party, Oust-Duterte movement, and a mishmash of leftist political party organizations LEDESMA/PAGE 11

Assuming the identity of Christ JHAN TIAFAU HURST learn to succeed and become their best in life. But to do that we cannot just tell our kids, we also must show them that we believe in them. We must spend time watching and listening to our children, so we can help them know what their natural, unique talents are. Then we need to encourage them in that area so they can fully develop their own special abilities— whether it is academics in school, business, social skills and relating to people, sports, music, or whatever they naturally enjoy and do well. You and I can motivate our children by always loving and accepting them without conditions, no matter what MOTIVATION/PAGE 11

WE have to be clear about this point. We are meant to assume the identity of Christ. And that is not a gratuitous, baseless assertion, much less, a fiction or a fantasy. It is founded on a fundamental truth of your faith that we have been created by God in his own image and likeness. And this truth of faith has been vividly shown to us since it is acted out in the whole history and economy of salvation that culminated in Christ offering his life and his very own self as the Bread of Life so we can have the eternal life with him, and so that he and us can be one. This history and economy of our salvation is still an ongoing affair insofar as we are concerned. We have to work it out so we can have our salvation or the

perfection and completion of our humanity. Of course, insofar as Christ is concerned, it’s already a done deal. He assures us of our salvation as long as we go along with him. We have to understand that it is only in him and with him when we can have the perfection and completion of our humanity, or when we can truly be God’s image and likeness as he wants us to be. And this going along with Christ involves nothing less than us assuming the very identity and life of Christ. This point can be proven by the fact that Christ did not only offer us a Way so we can follow him, nor a Truth so we can know him, at least intellectually, but rather a Life so that he and us can truly be one.

We have to arrive at that point where we can make St. Paul’s words as our own too: “I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.” (Gal 2,20) We just have to learn to set aside whatever difficulty or awkwardness we may have in dealing with this basic truth of faith about ourselves. We have to try our best to know Christ and to adapt his very own mind and will, his own ways, behavior and reactions to whatever situation we may find ourselves in. What is also clear is that Christ is actually already living with us. He is in us as the pattern and perfecter of our humanity, and the savior of our damaged humanity.

HINTS AND TRACES

ROY CIMAGALA We just have to learn to live with Christ. He is never far or indifferent to us. Even in our miserable and wounded condition, he continues to be with us, showing us with greater solicitude. It’s rather us who tend to ignore and contradict him.

TATE pension fund Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) has extended the application deadline for the GSIS Computer Loan program until December 31, 2021. "The GSIS Computer Loan is intended to assist government employees in purchasing a computer unit for their online work or even for the virtual classes of their children. Under the program, GSIS members may borrow Php30,000, payable in three years at an interest of 6% per annum. The loan is very member-friendly as it has a monthly amortization of only Php 983.33. And the application may be done online," GSIS President and General Manager Rolando Ledesma Macasaet said. Since its launch in November last year, a total of 109,000 government workers have so far availed of the loan. A GSIS member publicly expressed his appreciation for the program and posted it on social media. “Thank you very much for this Computer Loan Facility. I was able to buy a beautiful laptop, which I am using now both for my

personal and work-related matters. I sincerely thank you for this facility. Had it not been for this, I would not have a new laptop of my own. Ang galing ni PGM Macasaet po. Mabuhay ang GSIS,” wrote Ronald Allan Sta. Ana of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) in his Facebook account. "Dahil siguro kumpleto at tama ang in-attach kong documents sa online application ko, na-credit agad sa UMID account ko ang proceeds within the day. Hindi ko na kinailangang magpunta sa GSIS," Sta. Ana added. Sta. Ana is a Sr. Technical Education and Skills Development Specialist who develops guidelines for flexible learning delivery modes (online, distance learning, on-the-job training) used in technical vocational courses. As TESDA implements alternative work arrangements, he brings his new laptop to the office and when he goes home to Pangasinan. “Nakakatuwa naman at marami talaga ang nakikinabang sa GSIS Computer Loan Program.

Keeping the bayanihan spirit alive to address a hunger crisis THE rising need for food and other basic goods by disadvantaged families prompted many good-natured individuals like 26-year old Ana Patricia Non to put up community pantries in various places around the country. Designed specifically to help the poor and augment a day's meal for families caught by the devastating impact of the pandemic, the work of these good samaritans spread like wildfire over social media. As a way of extending support to its customers in need, Globe provided assistance to over 200 community pantries nationwide by leveraging on its partnership with PureGold through the PureGo app. “This is our way of showing malasakit to our customers. By staying close to them and their communities, they know we are here to support them. Once again, the Filipino bayanihan spirit comes to life at a time when many people are finding it difficult to cope with the health crisis,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability Officer and Senior Vice President for Corporate Communications. The country’s largest mobile network operator assisted 182 community

pantries in the National Capital Region (NCR), 11 in Luzon, as well as 16 in Visayas and Mindanao. Most of the community pantries are in Quezon City with 39, followed by 18 pantries in Manila, Marikina and Makati with 13, Pasay and Pasig with 12, Caloocan with 11, and Davao City with 7. Aside from providing grocery items to feed the hungry, Globe has also donated prepaid load cards. “Being one with the community is a real blessing. It is indeed wonderful to see people coming together to help members of their communities,” Crisanto added. The operators of the community pantries rely on donations from those who are capable and willing to share their resources. Locations of the over 500 community pantries nationwide may be accessed via https://saanyan.github.io/ saanmaycommunitypantry/. To continue supporting the growing number of community pantries, Globe customers may also donate their Rewards points to Walang Iwanan Alliance to fund the purchase of supplies

in support of the community pantries. For Globe and TM customers who have Rewards points, they may support via the Globe Rewards app. Just click “Donate” and choose Walang Iwanan Alliance. Each point is equivalent to P1.

They can also donate via the Walang Iwanan Alliance (GCash QR code) For additional hunger alleviation initiatives, donations may likewise be made to Rise Against Hunger (GCash QR code) and Gawad Kalinga’s Kusina ng Kalinga (GCash

QR Code). Last March, Globe employees rallied once more to fight hunger through an employee donation drive under the #OneGlobeVsCovid program, and have raised over P700,000 to support the

ACT survey reveals persistent access, safety issues half-way into school year; amplifies calls for increased state support The second part of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) Philippines’ survey assessing the first half of school year 2020–2021 revealed persisting problems in access to distance learning modalities, lacking education materials, and poor state of school facilities unfit for the conduct of face-to-face classes. The group urged the Duterte administration to consider the result of their survey in the Bayanihan 3 deliberations and to augment the budget for education through other means, such as the provision of supplemental funds and realignment of resources from ‘non-essential’ items in the 2021 GAA to enhance education delivery amid the pandemic. Persistent access, quality issues ACT noted a staggering 95% of teachers from NCR and 81% from other regions reported that their students continue to face problems with the cost of gadgets and internet connectivity. Of which, 48% and 53% respectively indicated that at least 30% of their students have difficulties financing the demands of distance learning. “Majority of our students come from low-income households, or those most hit in the economic recession

brought about by the pandemic. Some belong in homes that house two to three families, with only one or two gadgets shared by multiple learners. Many lost their source/s of income. The government is essentially forcing these families to choose between putting food on the table and ensuring their children’s education, as they reel from the various effects of a bungled pandemic handling,” lamented Basilio. ACT reiterated their demand for an additional budget of Php13.33 billion that is estimated to cover the provision of tablets and 10GB monthly data for the poorest 5% of learners, the funds for which ‘may be easily sourced’ from the NTF-ELCAC budget of Php19.1 billion. Another use for the same ‘non-essential’ task force money is the granting of a monthly Php1,500 internet allowance for teachers and Php150 mobile data provisions to the poorest 5% of learners, pegged at a total of Php20 billion. “These budgetary needs can likewise be addressed immediately through significant changes to the Bayanihan 3 recently approved by a House panel. Instead of the current version’s allotment of a pitiful Php5.6 billion to education, we can tap the lavish provision for military pension now at

Php54.6 billion which should be more than enough to cover the granting of gadgets and ample internet allowances to both teachers and students,” argued Basilio. Teacher-respondents also reported that their students are lagging behind in lessons. 95% of those from NCR and 86% from other regions admitted that portions of their classes lag behind, while 24% and 29% respectively said that 30% or more have difficulties keeping up. Meanwhile, teachers are also behind their lesson schedules as reported by 27% of respondents from NCR and 43% from other regions, with 22% and 34% respectively delayed by as much as one to two weeks. “These figures, however concerning, are sadly unsurprising, especially with the severely undersupported distance learning modalities and the overburdening of both teachers and learners. It is indicative of serious problems in DepEd’s education program, policies, and curriculum. It’s at best riddled with major lapses and at worst extremely unresponsive to the demands of providing accessible quality education amid multiple crises. These, however, are not merely the fault of DepEd but a result of the Duterte administration’s gross negligence of education,” said Basilio. Lacking printed modules The most employed learning modality remains to be the printed modular learning, indicated by 50% of teacher-respondents from NCR and 87% from other regions. However, the available modules for the first and second grading were incomplete, according to 32% of NCR teachers and 23% of teachers from other regions. “Half-way into the school year and we’re still significantly short of the most basic requisite of distance learning—

printed modules. Major factors to this are the delayed production of learning materials from the Central Office and the insufficient funds for module printing. This is a great disservice to millions of learners who are shortchanged in education, and to teachers as well who have been exhausting their means to fill in these shortages,” hit ACT Secretary General Raymond Basilio. He cited how teachers have had to make up for these by putting in extra hours to research and create their own materials and by procuring their own printers and bond papers either by shelling out money from their own shallow pockets or soliciting from their networks. However, instead of addressing the needs of the printed modular modality, DepEd opted to push for the shift to digital learning through the DepEd Commons platform ‘without enough consideration to the inaccessibility of such to its constituents, which was primarily why the majority chose to use printed modules.’ Unpreparedness to hold limited face-to-face classes ACT said that schools remain unsafe due to perennially unaddressed shortages in infrastructure, rendering it still unfit to hold in-classroom learning. In its survey, 83% of NCR respondents and 72% from other regions answered that they have insufficient to no school nurse at all. About 50% of the respondents nationwide indicated that their classrooms have poor ventilation. 42% from NCR and 52% from other regions also noted that their schools do not have enough comfort rooms, while 31% and 41% respectively said they have insufficient or lacking water supply in their schools. “These perennial shortages in education SURVEY/PAGE 10

Villanueva: Drive-thru, home delivery, workplace, open churches, village-organized vaccinations key to more jabs

N

OVEL vaccination modes piloted by local governments are one of the many ways in which vaccination can be ramped up “to save people from the virus and vaccines from spoilage,” Senator Joel Villanueva said today. Villanueva called on the national government to replicate the “drivethru, home delivery, and village-run” vaccinations which Metro Manila cities have tried with success. He added that the pandemic managers should also consider the offer of church leaders to open up places of worship to serve as an additional vaccine site. “And if we add company-run workplace vaccinations to the equation, we are opening five new tracks on which vaccine deliveries can speed through,” Villanueva said. He also urged the IATF to act on the clamor of some private hospitals to participate in mass ERRATUM In connec tio n with th e publication of DEED OF EXTRAJUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE WITH DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE published April 21, 28, & May 5, 2021 the correct name of one of the buyer should be TOMASINO IRENIO D.

vaccinations. "We need all hands on deck. The more sites, the better." Low supply plus slow rollout is a toxic combination friendly to the virus, the senator said. “The Philippine archipelago should not become some like subcontinent,” Villanueva said, referring to India’s runaway COVID 19 infection and death rates from a triple mutant virus the World Health Organization has tagged as a global threat. Employing other means to spike daily vaccination numbers will not only boost the nation’s protection against whatever variants there are, “but, at the same time, prepare us when vaccines will finally arrive in large numbers.” He said the “vaccinate at home” service for seniors, persons with disabilities, and sick persons being conducted by city governments in NCR is one way to increase our “vaccine absorptive capacity.” Drive-thru jabbing like the one Makati is holding is another effective means, he said. He said the villagerun vaccinations, done by volunteer doctors and nurses from among homeowners, are being done in Quezon City. “This can relieve overworked city health employees,” Villanueva EXTRA-JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF THE ESTATE OF REGINA FRIAS-DAOMILAS KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: That the late Spouses GALICANO DAOMILAS and REGINA FRIASDAOMILAS, who died in Cagayan de Oro City on July 8, 1952 and December 21, 1977, at the time of her death, left the following paraphernal properties with OCT/TCT # T-18572 situated at Camaman-an, CDO containing an area of 500 sq. m.

COVID19 Preparation and Precautions of Educators JESSELLE MARTINEZ MADERA Teacher 3 – Hinaplanan Elementary School

A key lesson learned during the pandemic is the important role of teachers by ensuring that learning continues. A lot will depend on teachers to ensure that children will be able to continue their education in a safe and healthy environment and make up for knowledge and skills that they needed and lost. Understanding COVID19, how it spreads and how we can protect ourselves and others is an important first step in establishing classroom procedures and protocols. Students need to understand what it is in order for them to follow the rules. Listen to their concerns and ideas and answer their questions in an age-appropriate manner. Current evidence indicates that COVID19 spreads primarily through respiratory droplets and short-range aerosols produce when an infected person cough, sneezes or talks in close

proximity to other people. At this time, long-range airborne transmission does not appear to be a primary way COVID19 spreads. There is not yet clear evidence that ventilation system spread the virus form space to space causing exposures. Studies indicates that people who are not showing symptoms (i.e., asymptomatic) can still spread the virus. COVID19 exposure may also occur form touching one’s mouth, nose or possibly eyes after contact with contaminated surfaces or objects, such as office equipment, workstations or break room tables. What we are learning from COVID19, similar to what we have seen in previous pandemics, is that preparedness is crucial. While different scenarios exist, several of them assume that the COVID19 spread will happen in waves, which means the process of addressing it should be cyclical.

they do. We must understand t he dif ference b etween approval and acceptance. Even when we do not approve of everything they do, our kids need to know we still always accept and love them without conditions. Then when our children do something well and right, we need to motivate and help them to become more confident by encouraging them. Maybe you yourself never had someone who motivated you to become your best. But today, if you will ask Jesus to take full charge of your heart with His real love and power, He can start changing your life. He wants to show you the special abilities He gave you, plus, He will help you fully develop them. Then as you become your best, you can share His love by encouraging and motivating others to become their best. Just think a minute.

Nonetheless, we don’t forget also our own power of ‘ameliorating’ our fellowmen from their dire situation.

to start his rocket to fame. Tonying even had a name for their opposition phalanx1Sambayan. It pretends to be united against Digong. Looking at the personalities, their ambitions, and their avowed ideologies, however, 1Sambayan is bound to self-destruct even before it can take off. Look, his tokayo Tonyo Trillanes just announced he is running for president in 2022 since VP Leni Robredo, so he claims, is running for governor in Camarines Sur. And see how quickly Robredo denied the claim of Trillanes that Robredo has given up on her bid for President. C ar pi o w ant s to b e Pre s i d e nt but s o d o e s Robredo and Trillanes. To ensure that he wins he chose the right enemy - Rodrigo Duterte. At least this Tonying, although not appointed by Gloria Arroyo and Noynoy Aquino to be Chief Justice, is bright enough to know that whoever Digong will endorse will win the 2022 presidential race. But note that while he demonizes

and destroys the President’s credibility, he side-swiped Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte, never mind if she is married to lawyer Mans Carpio. Tonying knew too well that Inday is the woman to beat. Mans dismissed Tonyings pot shots by saying “I cannot choose my relatives”. That’s Tonying Carpio and his elusive dream. With all his diatribes against the President and the Presidential daughter in all surveys he still can barely muster 1%. He should be grateful for that dismal performance for he doesn’t deserve a nudge from the iron lady who, unlike the father, simply ignored him. But for the fools hope springs eternal. In the case of Pakyaw, he better concentrate on boxing. The senate is not even fit for him but Filipinos are sentimental and kind. What is one senate seat in the slate of 12 for a man who got himself pummeled, won a title, and brought pride to the Philippines?. I spared one vote for him ...but the Presidency? Pakyaw should come to his senses or he will forever sleep with his ego in the dirty political canvas.

Let’s avail of the sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist, where Christ makes himself Bread of Life for us to eat so that even while here on earth, we can already enjoy the eternal life promised by him.
