Ways to stay focused at work

By EDEN C. FACIOL Admin Aide IV Kapatagan Provincial Hospital

YOU can only be productive when you love what you are doing. Thus, do not find a job that you don’t love. It will always stress you out. If you’re a graphic designer, when you report to work at 9:00 a.m. each day, it’s as if you’re just tinkering with your hobby. Why? Because graphic designing has always been your love. That’s also true if you’re a soldier, an architect, a nurse, etc.

The advantage of having a work that conforms with your hobby is that your creativity will be spurned. For instance, if you are a book author or a TV series director, you can always create scenes

in your mind on how to satisfy your target readers/ viewers. It comes natural to you. And you get paid for it.

Because an office setting entails eight hours of work each weekday, then make sure you get the most comfortable seat possible.

It also helps if your work station is organized. If you’re female, then I’m pretty sure you have loads of mushy things in your mind on how to arrange and sort of decorate your workstation. That way, when you report to work each day, you will always see a very welcoming office environment that is not cluttered and will instead motivate you to work for the next eight hours of shift.

15-year-old Lumad stude killed in Davao DAVAO City--A 15-year old Grade 3 student of the Salugpongan School in Talaingod, Davao del Norte, was killed Sunday reportedly by the paramilitary group, Alamara, the Save Our Schools (SOS) Network said.

Citing reports from the community, the SOS Network in Southern Mindanao said in its press release that student Alibando Tingkas was reported killed in Sitio Laslasakan, Barangay Palma Gil, Talaingod by a member of the Alamara whom community members identified as Joven Salangani.

“We are enraged and saddened by this incident. The paramilitary group and their military cohorts will not stop from attacking and even killing lumads in the name of their counter-insurgency

operations, even children are not spared anymore” Rius Valle, spokesperson of the SOS Network in Southern Mindanao said.

Valle said witnesses saw Tingkas and two adult companions walking home at around 3 p.m. Sunday, walking from Sitio Nasilaban, Brgy. Palma Gil heading towards Sitio Bayabas “when suddenly they were fired upon in Sitio Laslasakan, just a half-an-hour walk from Sitio Nasilaban.”

Valle said Tingkas was shot at the chest twice.

He said they have yet to confirm if the suspect, Salangani, was alone or with a group.

Valle noted that the suspect is from Sitio Barobo, “a known Alamara territory where a detachment of the 68th Infantry Battalion (is)

located.”

He said the community believes that the Alamara was organized and funded by the 68th IB, an allegation the 68th IB commander denied.

The SOS said that the Alamara, like the Magahat-Bagani in Surigao del Sur and other paramilitary groups in Mindanao, “are believed to be funded and organized by the Armed Forces of the Philippines to augment their forces for its counter-insurgency program Oplan Bayanihan in Mindanao.”

Lt. Col. Vicente Edgardo de Ocampo, commander of the 68th IB, told MindaNews “wala pong Joven Salangani na part ng 68th IB, sundalo or CAFGU (Citizens Armed Forces Geographic Unit).

Wala din pong Alamara sa

lugar ng Talaingod. What we have are CAFGUs. Wala din po kaming detachment sa Sitio Barobo” [There is no Joven Salangani in the 6th IB, either as soldier or as CAFGU member. There is also no Alamara in Talaingod. What we have are CAFGUs. We also do not have a detachment in Sitio Barobo.]

The SOS Network said Tingkas was the “29th child victim of extrajudicial killing” under the Aquino administration’s “Oplan Bayanihan.”

Valle also said they have just received information that “teachers of Salugpongan school all over Talaingod have received threats from Alamara.”

“They said they will kill teachers in Sitio Tibucag, Sitio Nasilaban, Sitio Dulyan and Sitio Kamingawan on preposterous claims that these teachers are NPA (New Peoples Army) members,” Valle said.

He said the SOS Network will conduct further investigation as he called on local government officials in Talaingod “to also investigate and apprehend those responsible, and for the national leadership to take heed lest things go out of hand and they will also suffer the consequences.”

No quorum besets passage of BLBAR

By GERRY LEE GORIT

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, chairman of the Ad Hoc com-

mittee on the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), yesterday admitted that lack of quorum continue to hound the passage of the Basic Law for the

Good Education

By Rolly G. Flores, Principal I Mantangale Elementary School District of Kinoguitan

As we get older, we develop a theory of getting a good education. Getting a good education depends on the person. Our parents also play a part in preparing you to receive it. From the first day of school parents want them child to do well in school.

They encourage their child to do homework, study, and help them when needed.

Parents want the best for their children.

Some people think that getting a good education depends on the school you attend. Just because someone sends their child to private school does not make their education better than a child that has attended public school.

Going to intercity or suburban school is looked at when determining who has received a good education. It is ever you make out of it. It all depends on whether or not you want to sit there and take in what the teacher is teaching.

Having good teachers that know what they are doing is also important. If we have a teacher that we

cannot follow then what is the point of trying to learn?

Getting help when needed can also help better our education. The key thing in having the best education is understanding. We all know that education is an important tool that is applied in the contemporary world to succeed, as it mitigates the challenges which are faced in life.

The knowledge gained through education enables individuals’ potential to be optimally utilized owing to training of the human mind. This opens doors of opportunities enables individual to achieve better prospects in career growth.

Education has played a paramount role in the modern industrial world. This is attributed to the fact prospective employees must be qualified adequately to perform various tasks effectively. Education enables the society to interpret the world around them rightly, innovating to new ways and means that conform to their environment.

Let us all have a good education.

Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (BLBAR).

Rodriguez said only 70 out of 290 lawmakers were present when the session resumes at the House of the Representatives on January 18, 2016. “We need at least 145 lawmakers to constitute a quorum,” he added.

With a few days left, the lawmaker remained optimistic that the BLBAR can still make it should the lawmakers would attend the remaining sessions left before the Congress adjourns on February 8.

“We are still in the period

of amendments,” he said, but there is no more to amend as all the unconstitutional provisions have already been stripped when he introduced the BLBAR. Rodriguez said he has already removed the Bangsamoro Command, the Bangsamoro Police, the Commission on Audit (COA), the Civil Service Commission (CSC), and the Commission on Elections (Comelec). All these provisions, he explained violate the Philippine Constitution.

He said the “Wali” or, the supposed head of the state of the proposed Bangsamoro

BUSINESS . northmin . caraga . davao Your Mindanao-wide Community Newspaper

government, including the issuance of an exploration permit on strategic minerals of the country have also been removed from BLBAR. “We practically have nothing to discuss since we have already amend all unconstitutional provisions,” explained Rodriguez, adding, “what we need is a quorum.”

He said: “I urged my colleagues to attend the remaining session in the House so we can decide on the fate of the BLBAR.” “It doesn’t matter whether you are pro or against the BLBAR,” said the lawmaker

from Cagayan de Oro apparently referring to his colleagues, who he said were busy for the upcoming elections.

With the perennial lack of quorum, Rodriguez said there is no longer hope of having the BLBAR passed under the administration of President Benigno Aquino III. He said it will be up for the next president whether to continue or not the peace talks with the Moro rebels to achieve lasting peace and development in Mindanao.

“Sayang (What a pity),” Rodriguez quipped.

Should electronic devices be banned from school?

By Rodulfo C. Atchedillo, Jr. Head Teacher III Biray Elementary School

Many agreed that devices should be banned from school such as iPods and cellphones. It should not be out during school hours. Technology also has disadvantages at some points. iPods and mobile phones prove to distract many young students from the job they are mend to do at school. Making it permissible in school is distracting them from studies. Electronic devices should be used as

a mode of entertainment, not distraction.

The apps that can serve as a huge educational purpose could be used in the students free time. We are sure that the apps are not part of the curriculum. The school provide students with the information they need to understand and pass the class. Whether the ipod or cellphone has information or not is irrelevant. If the student wishes to use the device as a form of study on

their own time is fine, but to manage work at school in unnecessary. Therefore, devices at school are just an increased chance of distraction and fooling around that hold absolutely no benefit to the student. We know that the ipod and phone are not all fun and games.

They have education and values to then as well.

There are apps that you can get that serve a huge educational purpose to them.

Some people did not agree with the banning because they said it can be used for research and learning

and emergencies. There are also learning apps in devices. Well, it’s okay if we bring phones to school as long as we know how to control and how or when to use it. Yes, it’s important. We can really use it for emergencies.

We must teach everyone especially students to use their devices for important matters.

Once caught using devices for entertainment, we can let the teachers confiscate it so that the students will learn their lesson.

No justification for Philhealth premium hike For 2016, Philhealth announced that monthly contributions may increase due to additional benefits they will accord senior citizens and indigent patients. Philhealth keeps on deceiving the public to justify the impending premium hike.

Why would they propose an increase in monthly contribution to provide additional benefits for senior citizens and indigent patients when already, a large chunk of the health budget amounting to Php 43.8 billion is already allocated for Philhealth in 2016?

Philhealth and its policy makers should get a dose of reality and stop deceiving the public.

For the record, Philhealth is not the answer to the Filipino people’s health-related woes as is deceptively assured by Aquino and Roxas’ Daang Matuwid – an overhyped slogan but nothing more than an empty rhetoric. It is a vehicle of patronage politics and fails to reach all those who are in dire need of health care.

On the other hand, Philhealth accounts for a mere fraction of a member’s hospital bill while Filipino “households continue to bear the heaviest burden in terms

of spending for their health needs as Private Out-of-Pocket accounted for 56.3 percent of the total health expenditure in 2013,”according to the Philippine Statistics Authority’s (PSA) Philippine National Health Accounts (PNHA) released in August 4, 2015.

Increased out of pocket expenses in a national health insurance system has brought more burden than ease among Filipinos – a result of a collapsing health care sytem that has long been taken over by big foreign and local private/corporate business interests.

Philhealth is not the answer to the public’s burden on health. Health expenditures should be shouldered by the state and given directly to public health facilities and providers so that health care can be free, progressive, and comprehensive.##

OUR country expressed alarm our “kababayans” more than two millions of them working in the Middle East might join the terrorist group as fighting rising to alarming levels. I am concerned too and the only thing we can do for the moment is to ask the families of our compatriots to advise their relatives there to be very careful about joining terrorism or they die.

000 Some Filipino media outlets here who cater news reports from the Philippines are either ignorant on reporting or stupid or whatever. They offer more news reports about movie stars, bickering between husband and wife, splits, tsismis, foolishness, etc. which do not attract us.

I urge these media institutions to send their reporters to college and study journalism to serve us better here with professional style and techniques. We do not need such reporting. Of course,

Following Germany’s lead, Vienna plans to send as many refugees as possible back to its southern border. “Right now on the Austrian-German border, only those seeking asylum in Germany are being allowed in. Those who want to go further are being turned back,” Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner said in a radio interview.

Hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees have streamed through Austria and into Germany as they flee conflict and poverty in the Middle East, Afghanistan, and North Africa. Around 90,000 have applied for asylum in Austria itself, but many more wish to go on to Germany or even further north to Denmark, Sweden, and Finland.

there are “bakya” Filipino Americans too but their number is so little because they are busy working as caregivers.

000 The government should create special courts to handle plunder cases only to eliminate the crooks fast in our system. All corrupt government officials should be behind bars now and not allowed to walk freely as if they have not victimized the country of their stupid adventures. Better still re-

store the death penalty and make corruption a capital offense.

000 The time has come when the three mayoralty contenders in Cagayan de Oro namely Incumbent Mayor Oscar Moreno, Dongkoy Emano and Rufus Rodriguez, should engage in serious political battle. Open your mouths now and say all the things you want to say. The people would be so glad to hear the dirty things in politics . After the elections, everyone should work together for the interest of the city and its people.

000 I was laughing when about 10,000 Cebuanos booed VP Jejomar Binay when he went up the stage to deliver a speech during the celebration of the Pit Senor.. The people must be very mad about the vice president for his history of dishonesty and plunder. The only thing he uttered was

dling the refugee crisis. A rising number of Germans believe the country cannot handle the massive influx of refugees, are concerned of rising crime and a threat to their culture, and question Chancellor Angela Merkel’s policies, according to a poll by public broadcaster ZDF published als on Friday.

That puts German opinion increasing at odds with Merkel, who has repeated the mantra “we can manage” in response to the 1.1 million asylum seekers who arrived in the country last year. Still, a majority of 57 percent also do not believe a proposal to set an upper-limit on the number of refugees at 200,000 as advocated by the Christian Social Union (CSU), the sister party to Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU), would work.

Of course, and here I strongly agree: there is a concern over crime.

The rising negative sentiment appears in part a See doring, page A11

“Viva pit senyor” and he went down. Well, according to the famous American president, Abraham Lincoln “you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all the people all the time.”

000 I agree with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel that Iran should not be allowed to posses nuclear weapons. A nuclear weapon is not a small matter that can be ignored. It should be in the hands of responsible countries and leaders only.

Its danger is so enormous beyond imagination.

000 In the Philippines, it is so easy to know who are the corrupt politicians, the bad leaders, etc. The electorates will shun these animals but the problems is the power of cash that would hit them on voting day. I would suggest these people to accept the money for your votes but See emata, page A11

BCWD to save P8.62M monthly as TASC project operates in June

By PAT SAMONTE Caraga Regional Editor

A knowledgeable source said that for three years, TASC will supply water to BCWD at P11 per cubic meter for the water distribution firm’s daily consumption of 40,000 cubic meters. Computing B CWD’s operation and maintenance cost of P18.19 per cubic meter less TASC’s water rate of P11, and multiplying the P7.19 difference to 40,000 cubic meters, it will result in savings of P297,600 per day or P8,620,000 in 30 days. For the first three years, BCWD would earn P310,320,000 in savings that it could use for expansion and improvement of services, the source said.

While the source dismissed issues raised against the water project, he noted that the undertaking will not cause any increase in water rates charged to consumers.

The source emphasized that the project will in fact result in the following benefits: l. Ensure stable supply to BCWD; 2. No financial risk to BCWD; 3. Increased water supply will result in increase in revenue and income for BCWD which will give it financial capacity for expansion, service improvement, stability of tariff rates and even possible discounts on

rates.

For the first time in Butuan’s history, consumers will enjoy stable and abundant supply of tap water and businessmen will come in and put their money in agriculture-based industries, the source said.

The excess electricity provided by hydro-power generating plants in Caraga in contrast to other regions in Mindanao will attract more investors that will spell economic boom and progress, and importantly, more employment here and neighboring provinces, the source added.

According to the source, the entry of a true-blue Butuanon in the water supply project and hydro-power generation “will be the best thing that happened to Butuan City and Caraga.”

The source was referring to businessman Engr. Ronnie Vic Lagnada, president and chief executive officer of Equi Parco Construction Company, owner of Taguibo Aquatech Solutions Corporation.

Better classroom management

By Rodulfo C. Atchedillo, Jr. Head Teacher III Biray Elementary School

One of the factors that needs to be considered in delivering quality education is the management of the class, management of the classroom, in which it bears a big impact to the pupils in the process of learning. No matter how systematic the organization or structure is, if the classroom is not handled orderly, then the delivery of education will be affected. That is why every teacher should take into best consideration the way he or she handles the class.

One way is that make your pupils understand why they are in school. Respect your pupils as much as you

want to earn respect from them. Treat them as your children and make them understand that acquiring best education is anchored on valuing and living good values also.

Another, listen to their needs, beliefs and ideas. For sure, these children have differing insights and ideas over a matter but on how you respond to them, is that all they will remember. Hear and appreciate their voices as they hear and appreciate your voice and thoughts.

The moment they feel that they are being heard and attended, then that’s the moment they will listen without the teacher instilling

fear over them, without the teacher begging the pupils to.

Set as a very good example. Well, what you basically do and say, in the eyes of your pupils, it’s the right thing to do. Before you reprimand your pupils, you have to make it sure

that you are portraying the good values, in which they can see you doing it. In their very eyes, what their teacher does and say, for them it is right and just.

Thus, better classroom management depends more importantly on the classroom manager, the teachers.

Let us all be best examples to our pupils.

Education: Most Powerful Weapon

By Rolly G. Flores, Principal I Mantangale Elementary School District of Kinoguitan

Education is the key to eliminating gender inequality, to reducing poverty, to creating a sustainable planet, to preventing needless deaths and illness, and to fostering peace. And in a knowledge economy, education is the new currency by which nations maintain economic competitiveness and global prosperity.

Education must enable a man to become more efficient, to achieve with increasing facility the legitimate goals of his life.

Education must also train one for quick, resolute and effective thinking.

To think incisively and to think for one’s self is very difficult. We are prone to let our mental life become invaded by legions of half-truth, prejudices, and propaganda. EducaEXTRAJUDICICIAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE Notice is hereby given that the intestate estate of the Late JOSE MARIA MONTILLA, who passed away last October 26, 2013, left a parcel of land situated in Balubal, Cagayan de Oro City and which property described as follows; Lot No. 2114-C-4, Psd-1031346 respectively, containing an area of THREE HUNDRED NINETEEN (319) square meters more or less is the subject of EXTRA-JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE.

tion must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction. The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society.

The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason but with no morals. We must also remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character--that is the goal of true education.

The complete education gives one not only power of

concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate.

The broad education will, therefore, transmit to one not only the accumulated knowledge of the race but also the accumulated experience of social living. If we are not careful, our colleges will produce a group of close-minded, unscientific, illogical propagandists, consumed with immoral acts. Be careful teachers.

Let us all be careful!

Education should prepare young people for life, work and citizenship.

Another NGCP tower bombed in Lanao del Sur

Editorial: e-mail: mindanaodailynews@gmail.com • Advertising: e-mail: mindanaodaily.ads@gmail.com Contact: 0917-7121424, 0947-8935776

By Antonio L. Colina IV of MindaNews

DAVAO City--Another tower of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) was bombed on Monday morning by unidentified men in Lanao del Sur, the second attack on power facilities in Mindanao this month.

In her Facebook post on Monday, NGCP Mindanao spokesperson Milfrance Capulong said Tower 50

of Agus 2-Kibawe 138 KV line, located in Brgy. Pantar, Dimayon Bubong, Lanao del Sur was not completely destroyed and restoration works would start as soon as the area is declared safe.

She said the attacks on NGCP towers have only worsened the Mindanao power situation.

Last year, 16 towers were bombed, of which nine were completely toppled. All except tower 25 in Lanao del

Sur were restored on December 24, 2015.

Capulong said an emergency restoration structure had to be put up to connect the power sources back on the grid.

“NGCP stresses that the bombings only aggravate the tenuous power situation in Mindanao. The incoming 600MW of generation capacity from new power plants will not be sufficient to relieve Mindanao of its

energy problems unless the bombing of transmission facilities are stopped,” she said.

She added sufficient supply and strong transmission are both integral to a stable power situation, as she encouraged support from the public, local and national governments, police, military, and community leaders to ensure the security of the towers and identify the perpetrators.

NGCP completed last Saturday repair works on tower 63 in Purok 4, Brgy.

Pagangan in Aleosan town, North Cotabato after it was destroyed on Thursday by still unidentified men.

Capulong said tower 25 in Ramain, Lanao del Norte has remained isolated as the landowners won’t allow NGCP personnel to enter the location to conduct repair works, pending unsettled claims with the National

Transmission Corporation.

“NGCP was denied access to tower 25 by the landowners who demand payment from Transco for their decades old claim. The dispute remains unresolved to this day,” she said.

She said the NGCP “appeals for the expedite resolution between landowners and Transco so that it may begin repairs at the soonest possible time.” (Antonio L. Colina IV/MindaNews)

in effectively managing such resources.

“Addressing environmental issues requires good environmental governance,” DENR Secretary Ramon Paje said in a speech Environment Undersecretary Jonas Leones read at the launch.

Paje noted sustainable development requires protection of the environment and natural resources to provide present and future generations’ social and economic welfare.

Through the learning program, DENR provincial and community environment and natural resources officers, their local government unit (LGU) counterparts and other stakeholders

concerned can build and strengthen their capacity to manage the country’s natural resources.

UP President Alfredo Pascual said the program also covers conduct of environmental governancerelated policy research and development of policy recommendations to produce “more conscientious, relevant and informed initiatives to manage our country’s natural heritage.”

“The need to protect our environment has never been more urgent,” he said at the launch.

He noted climate change’s destructive impacts on the country elevated urgency for environmental governance.

Comprising the program are various modules which the UP spearheaded devel-

oping through its Center for Integrative and Development Studies (CIDS).

Such modules cover environmental governance and the nature of environmental issues in the Philippines, frameworks for environmental governance, environmental leadership and principles of conflict management as well as environmental planning and decision support systems.

The modules also cover managing environmental risks and resiliency as well as human, financial and material resources management.

“We hope the modules will serve as legacy to the environment and natural resources sector,” UP-CIDS Executive Director Dr. Edna Co said at the launch.

DENR said 30 provincial environment and natural resources officers comprise the program’s first batch of participants.

“In the long term, other environment and natural resources stakeholders and managers such as local governmentofficials/employees, the private sector and civil societyorganizations will likewise be targeted as participants in the program,” UP said.

Twenty-two UP professors will serve as trainers in 19 sessions scheduled for the program’s maiden run from Jan. 18 to Feb. 20 this year, DENR noted.

“They’re expected to promote the program’s primary objective of strengthening competence of environmental authorities, especially

those at the forefront of implementing government’s policies on naturalresource conservation and protection,” said DENR. DILG Secretar y Mel Senen Sarmiento considers the program a milestone for the country.

He noted the program’s modular approach to learning will help bring forth capacity training that’s more systematic and purposeful.

“The modular approach to learning is a very systematic and purposeful way of addressing human resource competency needs,” he said in a speech DILG-National Capital Region OIC Regional Director Maria Lourdes Agustin read at the launch.

Also Finnland want fewer refugees. Finland last year received the largest number of refugees in its history, which has lead to growing anti-immigration sentiments.

Finns demand at Finnish-Swedish border in a demonstration to not allow refugees to enter.The arrival of 30,000 refugees last year in Finland - a country of roughly 5.5 million people prompted more open manifestations of anti-immigrant feelings, from anti-migrant street patrols to a wave of racist statements in the public.

Previously, refugees seldomly made their way all across Europe to Finland, and most of the arrivals came through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). In the early 1990’s it was the Somali civil war that brought the first bigger group of refugees to the North.

CDOTC’s 12th Wedding of the Century features Vianncy Unabia as grand bride Story by MARK FRANCISCO Photos by LADY CHRISTINE VELASCO

CONGRESSIONAL daughter-in-law Vianncy

Grand bride Vianncy Ramos-Unabia

Ramos-Unabia walked the wedding aisle for the “second” time as she graciously accepted the invitation of Cagayan de Oro Talent Center (CDOTC) founder Gabby Bacarro to be the grand bride of the 2016 edition of the Wedding of the Century of the premier talent pool of Northern Mindanao.

The event, which was held last Sunday at Limketkai Events Center, marked the 12th year in a row that CDOTC organized a so-called Wedding of the Century.

Newly-installed Cagayan de Oro Talent Center Mara Castro (third from left) delivers her acceptance speech before her fellow officers following their oath taking. Looking on at extreme left is CDOTC founder Gabby Bacarro.

During the event, the grand bride and her entourage showcased beautiful wedding gowns to enhance the confidence and personality of the models pool of CDOTC to walk the runway.

Before her marriage to the son of Rep. Peter Unabia, Vianncy was an original CDOTC talent due to her membership of the Bombastic Girls and Hip 101.

It was also during the activity that premier dance choreographer Mara Castro was inducted as this year’s president of CDOTC.

Her position would mean that she would rein in the hundred-plus models and dancers under the tutelage of CDOTC. Castro graciously accepted her appointment as 2016 president, saying that she would do her best to make the whole year as lively for Cagayanons as possible for CDOTC talents to entertain and make the group a local household name.

Reigning Little Miss Kagay-an 2015 Exin Guingao also graced the event and even jammed with the newly-launched CDOTC Dancing

Models. Guingao’s cameo was impromptu and she easily learned the simple choreography steps taught to her by Castro as the veteran dancer gleefully guided her at the sidelines all throughout the number.

Castro’s reign will indeed be a vibrant one.

On January 31, the models of CDOTC will conduct a half-day crash course on modeling to professional and licensed tour guides of Region 10 who are slated to hold their own fashion show.

By afternoon on the same day, there will be a Chinese New

Year cosplay featuring the MTC cosplay models from Iligan and Bukidnon. They will be accompanied by the Mindanao Talent Center Unified Martial Arts headed by national champion Owen Charlie Macabit. The affair will be held at Gaisano Activity Center.

On Chinese New Year itself on February 8, CDOTC models will escort expert lion dancers from a well-known Chinese school at 2:00 p.m. also at Gaisano. To mark the occasion, the CDOTC models will don themselves in red.
