A lifelong learner can be defined in a variety of ways, but most people would agree that it refers to someone who continuously seeks to learn new skills or who draws on their extensive life experience to do so. People discover and select an interest of their own, which is the notion of interest-driven learning. This engagement encompasses learning and development over a protracted length of time.

These learning can take many different forms, such as at-home instruction, cultural learning, individual learning, spiritual learning, staying current with technology, learning about local medical sciences, etc. Learning from life's experiences enables a person to view the meaning of life from a fresh angle that motivates them to be selfconfident.Lifelong learning can assist us in achieving personal fulfillment and pleasure, whether we are following personal interests and

Parent involvement often refers to parents' actions at home and at school that assist their kids' academic development. Measures of parent involvement frequently include participation in school events and activities as well as the effectiveness and frequency of communication with teachers. By maintaining continuity between the home and school contexts, the parent's involvement is conceived as the result of the interaction between the impacts of the two settings. Parents might offer resources and support for a teacher's learning objectives at home, for instance, if they are aware of the teacher's instructional goals. In the same way, parental engagement may aid in the creation of consistent discipline methods at both home and school in terms of social development.

teachers; they impart the majority of the knowledge a child acquires during the first few years of life. The youngster doesn't begin to learn from another instructor until they begin to attend an early years setting. Throughout school and the rest of their life, parents and teachers both continue to have a significant impact on the learning of their children. Consider family involvement as serving as a springboard for family engagement. Although they can provide guidance, family and other caregivers can often have valuable knowledge about a child that instructors may not be aware of. A student’s learning experience is enriched when both bring their perspectives to the table. With family engagement, home and school come together as a team.

Promoting family involvement goes beyond just good manners. It's among the greatest methods for fostering a supportive learning environment for all pupils. Even though both assist student success, family involvement and engagement in school are two separate things. Family involvement in school-related events or activities is one aspect of involvement, and instructors often provide learning resources and information on their students' grades. Teachers have the major duty for establishing educational objectives. Families and caregivers are viewed by them as the child's academic counselor rather than as a learning partner.

All these years, no title has been issued. What is more trou bling is the information from the DENR in Central Office that a document has reached Malacanang that the farm ers in Kibaritan have signed a document that is giving their consent to have the 195 hectares be part of the Mili tary Reservation. Glaringly, these officers have betrayed their innocent members for money making. They collected gargantuan amount from their poor members to have their land titled as just an alibi but using their signatures to give out their precious land as military reservation, perhaps for some favor? In connivance with whom? With the former mayor who was then one with military officials to convert the farmers’ land into a military reservation? Mr. President, such declaration that they have given their consent is a blatant LIE. Those who sent that to Malacanang must be made ac countable as they have fooled the Office of the President.

Think a minute . . . This is the true story of a boy named Jim who started working on farms at the young age of eight. By the time he was age 20 Jim was training as a store manager, and within a year was a successful salesman. Then in 1901 he married a young woman named Berta. After a couple of more years Jim was put in charge of a brand-new store. He put a big sign on the front that read, Golden Rule.
Jim worked hard to manage his store from early morning until late at night. He and Berta lived in a small room above the store that was an unfinished attic. Their dining table was just a box turned upside down and shoe cases for chairs. But their Golden Rule store was on its way. Jim’s wise, hard work paid off. After twelve years he had 71 stores. Three years later he had 177 stores; and eleven years later Jim owned a chain of more than 1,000 stores acrossMaybeAmerica!you have heard this true story of the J.C.

His Excellency, it has been said that in this country, no one is above the law, all must bow down to the majesty of the law because we follow the rule of law and not of men. Apparently, the rule of law has not been followed but the rule of power, money and guns. Pity the poor farmers in Sitio Kibaritan. If further investigation is needed, they are willing to cooperate. As shouted to them by Col. Lomas-e, “Ang titigas ng ulo ninyo. Mabuti pa, mag rebelde na lang kayo.” Mr. President, please be informed that we will seek for social justice not through armed struggle.

It is so painful to know of the sad plight of some five hundred poor farmers in Sitio Kibaritan, Malinao, Kalilangan, Bukid non who have been living in extreme poverty but instead of being helped, they have become victims of oppression and even of corruption. Their forefathers, some were Ifugaos & Igorots (Indigenous Peoples from Benguet & Mountain Province) were former soldiers who have been occupying their land as settlers since the fif ties. Apparently, the present occupants as children and grandchildren, have already acquired prior right to own the land, the 195 hectares of land that their ancestors have been tilling which were classified then in 1953 as Alienable & Disposable (A&D).

NOW THEREFORE , the above mentioned defendants are hereby summoned and required to file with the Clerk of Court, Regional Trial Court, Branch 07, Tubod, Lanao del Norte, Philippines, their ANSWER to the above-quoted complaint within sixty (60) days from publication of the summons and to serve copy of the said answer upon plaintiff’s counsel at his given address indicated in the complaint.

15. Such legal easement has been consistently recognized and applied by the Supreme Court in a long line of cases, where it ruled that a landowner whose property is subject to the legal easement imposed by Section 112 of C.A. 141 is not entitled to compensation for the portion thereof covered by the 60-meter easement of right-of-way, except only for the value of the existing improvements that will be affected.
30. The purpose of summons in actions quasi in rem is not the acquisition of jurisdiction over the defendant but mainly to satisfy the constitutional requirement of due process. Since the issuance of writ of possession is ex-parte, ministerial, and non-litigious in nature, the issuance thereof, even prior to the service of summons, will not violate defendants’ right to due process as the same can be done even without defendants’ participation. Besides, the issuance of a writ of possession does not prevent defendants from raising objections to and defenses against the expropriation of their property.

9. Defendant SONIA PAREDES is of legal age, Filipino, and a resident of Iligan City. Considering that the specific address of defendant cannot be ascertained despite diligent inquiry, plaintiff undertakes to cause service of summons to her by publication pursuant to Sections 16 and 17, Rule 14 of the Rules of Court. Moreover, she is impleaded herein in accordance with Section 1 Rule 67 of the Revised Rules of Civil Procedure, being the alleged claimant of the subject property.
24. Notwithstanding that R.A. 10752 does not specifically apply to plaintiff, it shall deposit the said amount with this Honorable Court consistent with the purpose of the said law and OCA Circular No. 113-2019 to simplify the deposit requirement in expropriation cases for the benefit of the defendants and in the interest of immediate implementation of projects intended to benefit the public.
29. The purpose of summons in actions quasi in rem is not the acquisition of jurisdiction over the defendant but mainly to satisfy the constitutional requirement of due process. Since the issuance of writ of possession is ex-parte, ministerial, and non-litigious in nature, the issuance thereof, even prior to the service of summons, will not violate defendants’ right to due process as the same can be done even without defendants’ participation. Besides, the issuance of a writ of possession does not prevent defendants from raising objections to and defenses against the expropriation of their property.
14. Sections 111 and 112 (as amended by P.D. 1361) of C.A. 141 provide: Sec. 111 – All persons receiving title to lands under the provisions of this Act shall hold such lands subject to the provisions hereof and to the same public servitudes as exist upon lands owned by private person xxx

“On record is a Motion for Leave of Court to Effect Service of Summons by Publication filed by the plaintiff and it appears from the Sheriff’s Return of Summons that defendants Corazon Valiente and Sonia Paredes whereabouts, cannot by diligent inquiry be ascertained, as prayed for in the Plaintiff’s aforesaid motion, let summons by publication be served to defendants Corazon Valiente and Sonia Paredes in a newspaper of general circulation, once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks in a local newspaper and plaintiff is directed likewise to send copy of this order, summons, and complaint to the defendants to their last known address.
28. An action quasi in rem names a person as defendant, but its object is to subject that person’s interest in a property to a corresponding lien or obligation. In a proceeding quasi in rem, jurisdiction over the person of the defendant is not a prerequisite to confer jurisdiction on the court, provided that the latter has jurisdiction over the res.
19. Plaintiff negotiated with defendants informing them of its intention to take immediate possession of Lot No. 2412, PLS-13 for the implementation of its project. Plaintiff likewise offered defendants the value of the improvements to be affected by its project and the acquisition cost for Affected Area-Tower Site. Defendant Terence Jake Olmedo, through Jaime Olmedo accepted the cost of improvements. However, no agreement was reached by the parties with respect to the affected portion of the subject property. Hence, plaintiff has no other recourse but to file the instant complaint.

It is impleaded because the property was mortgaged to Cooperative Rural Bank of Lanao del Norte which is placed under receivership of PDIC.
Iligan City, 13 November, 2020.
25. Upon deposit of the provisional amount, plaintiff would have fully complied with the requirements for the issuance of a writ of possession as mandated by law. In a long line of cases, the Supreme Court ruled that, once the above requirements are complied with it, it becomes the ministerial duty of the trial court to issue the writ of possession in favor of the plaintiff, without need of any further hearing. Therefore, the Honorable Court can already immediately issue to the plaintiff an order to take possession of the property and start the implementation of the26.project.However, since the subject property is covered by Section 112 of C.A. 141 and defendants are not entitled to compensation for the Affected Area-Easement of Right-of-Way, the provisional deposit representing the 100% BIR zonal value of the said affected area amounting to FIFTY-SEVEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE PESOS (Php47,475.00) should remain in custodial egis until the issue on the applicability of Section 112 of C.A. 141 in this case is resolved with finality.
