DepEd ready for opening of classes in June

THE Department of Education (DepEd) is more than ready to welcome students this June 2 even if some classes would just be conducted in temporary learning spaces in typhoonravaged areas.

“We are very, very ready.

If we are able to reopen schools as early as December (2013) and January 6 we are more than ready for June 2. You will not find all the classrooms brand new but our schools are ready to welcome our students,” stressed Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro on Monday here.

He pointed out that some classes will be held in spaces that are not “ideal” because DepEd is gearing to construct disaster-resilient facilities to withstand earthquake and typhoon with strength of 250 kilometers per hour (kph).

He explained that building of classrooms, some See CLASSES, page 11

He said Alawi’s driver, Mr. Saiben Doron Baiza, 46, also sustained multiple

Government authorities are now conducting thorough probe to unmask and arrest the suspects behind Monday’s ambush slay of a prosecutor in Marawi City, an official disclosed, the Philippine News Agency reported.

CA refuses to allow Napoles to go on bail THE Court of Appeals (CA) has refused to allow businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles to go on bail.

Napoles is the alleged “brains” behind the P10billion pork barrel and the P900-million Malampaya Fund scams.

This, after the CA did not stop the Makati City Regional Trial Court (RTC) with the plea of Napoles to allow her to post bail in the serious illegal detention case filed against her for allegedly abducting Benhur Luy. In a two-page resolution of the CA Special 7th Division, it instead ordered Makati City RTC Branch 150 Presiding Judge Elmo Alameda and whistleblower Luy to submit their explanation in the petition for certiorari filed by Napoles on April 10, 2014.

The resolution was dated May 14, 2014 and written

Cagayan de Oro City–– On May 8, 2014, the Department of Agrarian Reform turned over a Php 40.5 M farm-to-market road covering barangays Bauk-Bauk, Kabangasan and Mapua in the municipality of Balingoan, Misamis Oriental.

PA R P O I I Z or ai d a Macadindang of Misamis Oreintal said that the 6.33179 km FMR project was funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Government of the Philippines (GOP) and implemented by the Department of Agrarian Reform and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

The event started with a convoy going to Barangay Bauk-Bauk, where the concreting of the road started, for the cutting of ribbon and the unveiling of the first post and proceeded to the second post in Barangay Mapua, where the road ended.

The turn-over was formally held in Barangay Mapua which was graced by the presence of Balingoan Mayor Pedro Panulaya, Vice-Mayor Bella Veja Dilla, DPWH District Engr.

Leonardo Paulican and staff, DAR-10 Regional Director Felix Aguhob together with his staff, and the barangay

chairmen from Bauk-Bauk, Kabangasan, Mapua and Dahilig.

RD Felix Aguhob expressed heartfelt gratitude that the project is completed and is now being turned over. “Gibuhat ang dalan alang sa katuyuan nga unta mapalambo ang atong mga kayutaan. Ug aron usab nga ang inyong mga produkto mas sayon ihatod sa merkado (The road was made with the intention of making the land productive. And so that you [farmers] can easily bring your products to

the market), ” Aguhob said.

Lydia Balaquit, 56 years old, a farmer in Barangay Mapua said, “Kaniadto dili nalang me motugbong sa merkado kung mag-ulan kay delikado tungod kay digyas kayo ang dalan. Pero karon mag raincoat lang ok na. (Before, we didn’t want to go to the market when it rained because the road was very slippery and it was very dangerous. But now we can just wear a raincoat and it’s ok).”

Marivic Requerme, 36 years old, a wife of a farmer

and a kagawad of Barangay Kabangasan said that unlike before when the road was just a meter wide, the newly constructed two-lane road now makes transporting their goods to the market a lot easier.

Engr. Paulican urged the people of the barangays to take good care of the road.

“Ang usa sa pag amping aron kining inyong kalsada motaas-taas ug serbisyo mao ang paglampas sa mga sagbot unya kun moabot na sa dalan ug pag-atiman sa mga kanal-kanal aron walay tubig nga mokankan sa semento sa kalsada. (One way of taking care of your [farmers] road so that it will last long is to cut the grass if it reaches the road and see to it that there’s no water stuck in drainages or canals that could ruin the road),”Paulican said.

Engr. Paulican also said that he had talked with Mayor Panulaya about a water fall in Barangay Dahilig that could possibly be turned into a tourist site. He added that the Department of Tourism (DOT) won’t have a hard time funding the additional road going to the falls since there is already an existing road.

National school feeding program for preschool, elementary public school children nears Committee approval MISAMIS ORIENTAL - A Misamis Oriental legislator’s proposal to institutionalize a national school feeding program for public pre-school and elementary school children is nearing approval by the House Committee on Basic Education and Culture of the 16th Congress.

“The technical working group (TWG) of the said Committee has come up with a draft consolidated bill that took into consideration our House Bill 1548 titled ‘An Act Providing For A Mandatory National Child Nutrition Program In All Public Elementary Schools And Barangay Day Care Centers.’ With the impending committee approval, the said consolidated bill titled ‘National School Feeding Program Act’ will go to plenary for second reading and eventual approval of Congress,” Misamis Oriental second district Rep. Juliette Uy said.

“In recent years, the feeding programs in public schools were implemented only for a limited duration and in select areas.

With this measure, the National School Feeding Program (NFSP) will be gradually implemented in all public schools in the

country," Rep. Uy said.

The feeding program shall be implemented in all public schools throughout the country since most of all school children suffer various degrees of undernourishment and malnutrition since they come from poor families.

“The children’s absorption capacity for school lessons to attain average academic performance cannot be expected to if they are able to go to school but are hungry.

The draft consolidated bill shall thereby make the Department of Education (DepEd) the lead agency among other executive offices to make the NFSP annually funded and appropriately implemented by the national government,” the Misamis Oriental lady legislator said.

The Fourth Quarter 2013 Social Weather Survey conducted by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) on December 11-16, 2013, revealed that 18.1 percent (3.90 million families) of the population experienced involuntary hunger at least once in the past three months.

Moderate Hunger was surveyed at 5.4 percent while Severe Hunger was pegged at 2.7 percent by the said

survey.

“The proposed consolidated measure of the Committee on Basic Education and Culture will help the government ramp up its Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) 20112016 to critically address malnutrition that is also anchored on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially those related to nutrition that target halving number of underweight among school children and households with inadequate energy intake.

The NFSP bill will help the government address the challenges of hunger and child under-nutrition,” Rep. Uy said.

The said House panel is headed by Pangasinan Rep. Kimi Cojuangco and the legislators who have authored similar bills on the NFSP are Reps. Uy, George Arnaiz, (Negros Oriental), Raul del Mar (Cebu City), Neri Colmenares and Carlos Zarate (Bayan Muna Party-List), Rufus Rodriguez (Cagayan de Oro City), Maxie Rodriguez (Abamin Party-List), Bellaflor Angara-Castillo (Aurora), Pryde Henry Teves (Negros Oriental) and Sol Aragones (Laguna).

Banning premature campaigns?

A veteran lawmaker has moved to “reinstate” the prohibition against premature campaigning and revive election offenses committed prior to the start of the campaign period.

HB 4105 prohibits “electoral campaign or partisan political activities except during the campaign period and providing a penalty therefor.”

But under the present state of our laws, there is no longer any prohibition against premature campaigning.

Premature campaigning has already been decriminalized in the 2009 case of Penera v. Comelec, et al, (G. R. No. 181613, Nov. 25, 2009, En Banc).

Based on the Penera case, the rule now is that two (2) facts must concur in order for a person or aspiring candidate to be liable to an election offense: first, he must have filed his certificate of candidacy; and second, the campaign period has commenced.

This means that a candidate in our (automated) elections could campaign much earlier than the start of the campaign period and not incur any criminal liability for premature campaigning under our election laws.

To say that the legal conundrum arising from such a jurisprudential rule not only decriminalizes premature campaigning, but any and all election offenses committed prior to the campaign period as well is debatable..

Whether the majority of the Court realizes this

grave implication from its ruling, it merely washes its hands by conveniently stating that “the forum for examining the wisdom of the law, and enacting remedial measures, is not this Court but the Legislature..

Whether the fault lies in the flawed phraseology of the law on automated elections (as the majority seems to imply), or the infirm legal reasoning or interpretation of the ponencia (as the minority suggested), one thing clearly stands out – “there is an urgent need for remedial legislation in this particular area of our election law,” thus Congress should do something about it.

Section 1 of HB 4105 states: “Prohibition against premature campaigning – It shall be unlawful for any person, whether or not a voter or candidate, or for any party, or association of persons, to engage in an election campaign or partisan political activity except during the campaign period: Provided, that the person or aspiring candidate in whose favour the premature campaigning was done eventually files his/ her certificate of candidacy; and provided further, that the prohibition against premature campaigning shall apply in all kinds of election, whether done manually, automated, or otherwise.”

Section 1 further states: “Nothing in this Act shall prohibit parties or association of persons from holding conventions or meetings to nominate their official candidates within thirty days before the commencement of the campaign period and forty-five days for Presidential and Vice-Presidential election.”

Statement

Don’t vote for those involved in pork scam LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…`Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?’…” (Genesis 41:38, the Holy Bible).

-oooDESTABILIZATION FROM POLITICAL PERSECUTION: Former Sen. Edgardo J. Angara is right: the pork barrel scam is likely to destabilize and ultimately cause the downfall of the Aquino government. But this downfall will come only if President Aquino will not do the right thing in this scandal. What is this right thing that the President should do so the pork barrel scam will not bring down his government?

He should stop covering up for his allies whose names are now also being dragged into the controversy. Aquino should see to it that these allies of his are likewise properly charged in court, like what his Department of Justice and his Ombudsman did with Senators Juan Ponce

The P10 billion pork barrel scam will destabilize and cause the downfall of the Aquino government only if it persists in using the scam as a political weapon to assure the decimation of the probable opponents of President Aquino’s candidate for the presidential elections in 2016. The Filipinos are now aware that this is what Aquino is doing, and they are not going to just accept this.

-oooALTERNATIVE SOLUTION TO NATURAL CALAMITIES: The warning aired by the Department of Science and Technology

(DOST) that widespread and destructive and deadly floods will hit Davao City in the days to come could have been a warning, too, for many other areas in the Philippines. But then again, that warning was no warning at all, since it did not offer any solution other than the inutile evacuation of people.

We all know that evacuation is not going to work at all. Disaster risk reduction and management, under the present government, did not also work to save our countrymen from previous environmental calamities.

Yet, our political leaders and government officials continue to insist on similar

approaches, thereby endangering the lives of more Filipinos once again.

Since all previous solutions proferred by the Aquino government already proved ineffective in helping our people during times of natural tragedies, it is time to try to implement for alternative solutions. One solution untried before is the spiritual solution---reading the Bible and obeying its commands insofar as rains, floods and winds are concerned. One set of verses on this is Matthew 7:24-27.

-ooo“DO NOT VOTE FOR THOSE INVOLVED IN SCAM”: Now that the Inquirer is coming out with the list of lawmakers and other government officials who have been tagged by whistle-blower Benhur Luy as being involved in the P10 billion pork barrel scam, it is going to be wise for Filipinos not to vote anyone of these politicians in any See SCAM, page 11

Helping hands One day, after a super typhoon “Yolanda” slammed Eastern Visayas, I received a phone call from the German TV news channel N24 in Berlin to deliver some live reports, because during that time I was the only “available German journalist” in this country. Since that day, “Yolanda” and all news about it remain as a daily part of my journalistic work.

The fact is, the rehabilitation work goes on; life is “somehow back”, but many international organizations pledged more support for rebuilding efforts as they noted some encouraging signs of recovery in areas

Have my say Klaus Doring hit by “Yolanda”. They also acknowledged the massive scale of work ahead and the remaining gaps in the response to the crisis, lapses that even the government’s rehabilitation czar had publicly admitted.

The UN, ever so diplomatically, described the situation in the typhoon zone “as fragile”.

There are still many helping hands needed. One of these angels is German national Andreas Engelhardt, who contacted Mr. Ulrich Behmann from the German NGO Interhelp Hameln, which prepared already a Medic Rescue Team during that time. Interhelp financed several projects in Cebu, Ormog, Tacloban and

Guiuan, Ilo-Ilo, Paola and Gapas/Santa Fe and worked very well together with a rescue team from Manila under the leadership of Mr. Peter Negrido. 32,000 EUROS have been donated for these projects.

Maraming salamat po and God bless.

The next projects of Andreas Engelhardt and Interhelp/Germany are planned for Ilo-Ilo, Estanzia: Helping to take matters and a youth village in Davao City. +++ Email: doringklaus@ gmail.com or follow me in Facebook or Twitter or visit www.germanexpatinthephilippines.blogspot.com

Of Constitutionalism and the Bangsamoro Basic Law

By Michael Henry Ll. Yusingco of MindaNews

MELBOURNE, Australia–– The Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) is expected to be enacted by Congress before the next State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Aquino. Meantime however, some provisions in the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) have already invited scrutiny from Constitutional Law experts such as Fr. Joaquin Bernas, S.J. and Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago.

Pertinently, the Philippine Constitution Association recently described the CAB as “littered with constitutional infirmities.” The Transition Commission (TC) certainly faces a huge challenge to “accommodate and entrench” any contested provisions of the BBL within constitutional parameters.

Amending or revising the Constitution is an immensely unsettling undertaking. The country has stubbornly avoided this path for the 1987 Constitution despite the various Cha-Cha movements that sprouted along the way.

Indeed, this quality of immovability makes the words “accommodate” and “entrench” associated with the amendment process seem misplaced. An underlying utilitarian motivation behind the BBL is hard to ignore for any amendment proposals arising from it is palpably a mere step to overcome potential Constitutional objections.

Such a limited approach to the amendment process is objectionable because it overlooks the significance for a nation-state to have a written constitution. I would like to believe that the Constitution means so much more than a piece of legal document that can be trifled with.

It is generally known that a constitution establishes the institutional allocation of government power. More profoundly though, a nation’s constitution embodies

its peoples enduring values and principles. In the 1987 Constitution for example, two legacies of the Filipinos’ victory over 20 years of dictatorship are firmly entrenched, i.e. direct democratic participation and respect for human rights.

Indeed, this monumental document signifies the Filipino nation’s character, our people’s soul. Clearly, its provisions cannot be altered simply to “accommodate”

transitory contingencies.

Nevertheless, whether a thorough reform of the 1987 Constitution should be undertaken is still a legitimate question to ponder on. Its Preamble states that Filipinos desire “to establish a Government that shall embody our ideals and aspirations.” A corollary of this goal is the intent “to prohibit political dynasties” (Section 26 of Article II).

No need to elaborate here

but the current government certainly does not embody our ideals and aspirations whilst traditional elites continue to have a firm grip on the country’s political system. These two unfortunate realities clearly point to an anomalous area in the Constitution that begs to be addressed.

A more organic irregularity in the Constitution was illustrated by See LAW, page 11

GPH, MILF negotiators discuss CAB, BBL in Davao multi-stakeholders forum D AVAO CITY - Government Chief Peace Negotiator Miriam Coronel-Ferrer and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) Vice Chair for Political Affairs Gadzali Jaafar led a panel of discussants at a multi-stakeholders summit on the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) held at the Ateneo de Davao University (AdDU) on Saturday afternoon.

Bangsamoro people.“This is only differences of our approach to the problems in Mindanao,” he said, adding that the MNLF has a different approach on how to solve the Bangsamoro problem.

Jaafar said MILF’s approach is anchored on the principle of the late MILF leader Salamat Hashim that negotiations is best and most civilized way to resolve Bangsamoro issues.

He said others have different interest. The MILF’s interest is to deliver home to the Bangsamoro.

On the constitutionality of the BBL which was earlier questioned by Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago,

Ferrer assured there is engagement between the executive and legislative departments to make sure the efforts of President Benigno S. Aquino III can be delivered.

Ferrer stressed that both panels have recognized that there is a separation of powers between the executive and legislative departments.

She underscored that the issue on constitutionality was best responded in talks to explain the details of BBL. Both Ferrer and Jaafar said BBL is now under review in Malacañang before it will be submitted to the House of Representatives

for deliberations.

About 60 organizations coming from the government security forces, civil society groups, academe, Indigenous Peoples, Muslim and Christian leaders in Mindanao attended the summit was convened by the Al Qalam Institute for Islamic Identities and Dialogue in Southeast Asia and Bantay Bayanihan-Davao for AdDU. It was aimed at raising awareness on the CAB and the salient points of the prospective Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) and the discourses on Mindanao peace and security in the light of the recently inked agreement.

DAVAO C I T Y — A 10-wheeler truck from Bukidnon rammed into pedestrians and at least 14 vehicles along the national highway in Calinan district late Sunday afternoon, causing what the Davao City government said was a “multiple casualty incident vehicular accident.”

The city government’s Official Facebook Page had yet to post the number of dead and injured as of 11:45 p.m. although Mayor Rodrigo Duterte (with mic) calls for the pullout of troops in Paquibato District radio stations have been during a presscon with the Makabayan coalition that conducted a fact-finding mission reporting var ying twoin the area on alleged human rights violations.

claimed he lost his brakes that led to the fatal accident near the NCCC shopping center in Calinan’s centro shortly before 6 p.m.

Gumtang said Icoy was brought to a government hospital for liquor and drugs test.

Ferrer and Jaafar took turns in answering varied questions and suggestions such as possible talks with the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), constitutionality of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), and fight against

corruption and nepotism in a Bangsamoro government.

On talks with MNLF, Jaafar declared the MILF is open to direct talks anytime with the MNLF for the good of the whole Bangsamoro people but emphasized “they are not enemies.”

Congratulations and more power to

Happy 3rd Year Anniversary...!

Jaafar recalled that the MILF and MNLF leaderships had been talking in the past about how to address peace in Mindanao, conducting meetings, one of which was in Davao City with the Central Committee, to explain what each group wanted for the

Bukidnon’s Impasugong— Home of the country’s finest cowboys IMPASUGONG, Bukidnon, May 4 (PIA)—Famous for its flourishing forest and healthy livestock, Impasugong town in Bukidnon is the home of the country’s finest cowboys, where the spectacular rodeo show draws large crowds to watch spills-and-thrills as “vaqueros” (cowboys) show off skills in a cattle roundup.

Impasugong town Mayor Mario T. Okinlay, a professional rodeo cowboy, said there are nine commercial cattle farms in the area holding more than one thousand heads in all.

“The local government also manages a communal ranch in a 649-hectare grazing land that holds 300 cattle heads,” the mayor said.

PRESERVING HERITAGE IN CHANGING TIMES Villagers used to herd cattle across long distances. However, since it requires more time and skill, becoming a cowboy was every herder’s dream.

For over several decades, the “dreamers” gradually learned to perfectly tend cattle and perform many of their duties on horseback.

The town still has preserved its cultural heritage and ethnic identity, which led Star Cinema to unveil the beauty of Impasugong.

The blockbuster film “Love Me Again” starring Angel Locsin and Piolo Pascual was shot in the town’s vast grazing land and valleys.

Its colorful mountains, grassland, rocky canyons and gorges are all fabulous tourist spots.

With the town’s richness derived predominantly from cattle farms—aside from pineapple, palm oil trees, and high value crops—rodeo shows also prospered.

Okinlay said the town’s cowboys work actively in ranches, trail riding and handling cattle and horses.

“They also compete in rodeos to demonstrate their unique skills in a specially prepared are-

na. We are inspired and honored as they top in almost all rodeo events,” the mayor said.

THE RODEO CHALLENGE In the annual Kaamulan Festival, rodeo became the most watched sports race.

Cowboys compete in five rodeo events namely breakaway roping, steer wrestling, team roping, bull riding and calf ribbon picking.

The Breakaway Roping: A roper is on horseback with one end of the rope tied to the saddle horn. When the calf is released from the chute, the roper will be in hot pursuit, with lasso swirling in the air overhead.

When the loop is thrown, it must pass completely over the calf ’s head. As the calf pulls away from the rider, the rope grows taut and the string will break away from the saddle horn. The fastest run wins.

The Steer Wrestling: This involves strength, speed, and precision. A cowboy on horseback, with an assistant known as hazer, chases a steer (neutered bull), drops from the horse to the steer, and then wrestles the steer to the ground twisting its horns. The fastest cowboy to plunge the bull to the ground wins the race.

The Team Roping: This features a steer and two riders. The first roper is the “header” who ropes the front of the steer, usually around the horns or neck. The second is the “heeler” who ropes the steer by its hind feet. The fastest performer wins.

The Bull Riding: Involves a rider getting on a large bull and attempting to stay mounted while the bull bucks or jumps upward. The rider must tightly fasten one hand to the bull with a long braided rope. A rider who stays longer atop the bucking bull wins.

The Calf Ribbon Picking: This is also a timed event where a horsemounted ‘muse’ (cowgirl) ropes or lassoes a calf, leaps from her horse, and picks the rib-

Scam... from page 6

election anymore, particularly in 2016.

I mean, even if the lawmakers or other officials mentioned by Luy would be denying their participation in this scam, or not be charged in court by the Aquino government for one reason or another or, if they are acquitted later on, Filipino voters must take this as an opportunity to effect a cleansing of our political system and rid it of grafters and misfit.

But I guess this is going to be too much for the asking, as it were. Considering the prevailing spiritual poverty, lack of political maturity, and continuing dependence of many Filipinos on political warlords, the controversy generated by this pork barrel scam would not really cause any beneficial change in the country today. Sad, really sad.

actually form a “shrivelled state.” Essentially, the Constitution has established a schizophrenic state which is once again a sad reality that clearly yearns for remedial action.

Clearly, the changes required cannot be attained via simple amendments.

Therefore, the utilitarian treatment of the amendment process in the CAB can hardly be justified given that a complete overhaul of the Constitution is warranted.

Obviously, the revision process cannot deviate from the procedure prescribed in the Constitution [ARTICLE XVII]. However, it can be augmented to ensure the widest opportunity for the public to deliberate and reflect as well as to actively participate in the drafting process. Time should not be bound by anything less than allowing the people to take ownership of the revision process itself. This way Filipinos will see themselves not merely as passive observers in the sidelines but as continuing stakeholders to the Constitution’s evolution.

Hence, I suggest a preConstitutional Convention phase be added to the whole revision process. The Philippine Association of Law Schools (PALS) could be officially tasked to produce a working draft of the revised Constitution. Members of this organization could conduct grassroots consultations at the provincial level. Summarized provincial findings shall then be pooled at the national level and out of this the PALS could produce a working draft. The latter shall then be used as a starting point for the eventual Constitutional Convention.

This additional preliminary stage not only significantly expands public participation but also professionalizes the writing process.

congratulations!

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

The next phase could be any of the procedures prescribed in the Constitution. I suggest only two modifications. The first is to use the PALS as an official consultant during the proceedings. Second, for the campaign period not be treated as a simple yes or no proposition. I think this time should be spent explaining to the people that the revision of the Constitution is not a zero-sum game. On the contrary, the outcome of this process is about ALL Filipinos forming a strong democratic nation.

Indeed, a written constitution is the unequivocal proof of the people’s decision to constantly strive for social cohesion and integration amidst the robust diversity among them. Sadly and without even realizing it, overeager campaigners for the BBL could be pushing Filipinos, Muslims and NonMuslims alike, towards the opposite direction.

Biblical reflection

Bro. Edcel L. Closas

Wrong

Special Gospel of the day: Luke9:79(May20, 2014-Tuesday) Luke 9:7-9-Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead; And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him: This gospel emphasizes the acceptance of Herod to his criminal act against John the Baptist. In Matthew 14:10-And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. Therefore, Herod was a mortal sinner for killing the innocent John the Baptist but unfortunately, there was no justice prevailed since Herod was in the highest position on earth.

This is the same to our present society that criminals who are rich and powerful are not sentence to death.

They are not convicted because they can bribe the Judge in a certain crime committed.

In Proverbs 17:23-A wicked [man] takes’ a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. But look, Herod was disturbed upon hearing the name of Jesus since of the wrong belief that John was resurrected for revenge. This is normal for a guilty person because his conscience is disturbing him deep inside. Take note, our “conscience” is the little voice of God speaking within us: Printing paid by: Neneth - Bobong Balino- Dr. Edith, PhDTony Jordan - CDO.

City was very lucky and proud to have obtained the second rank among the qualifiers’ list of said academic scholarship. The students belonging to Top Ten of the said list were recognized that day.

One more glory brought by students of Macabalan NHS was the fact that the school has eighteen (18) qualifiers, highest number among the twenty-one (21) National High Schools in the Second Legislative District, partly including the First District,

which follow the regular class or Secondary Education Curriculum.

The other seventeen (17) qualifiers in the said school are the following: GANTALA, JOMARK; TUMIMBO, EDUARDO; ELMEDULA, DWIGHT KENT; MISOLES, ISMAEL; SUMAYO, LOIGE ROBERT; BITAIZAR, JENS PATRICK ; GAITERA, CEDRIC; MENDOZA, EMMANUEL; ZARATE, JOVI ROSE; VILLAJIN, BERNADETTE; MACEDA, NILVON; PAGARA, JOHN

The school may have ranked last in the 2013 National Achievement Test, but this scholarship result surely erases any doubt that Macabalan NHS students perform very well in academics.

Success favors a well prepared mind. To God be all the Glory!
