MGB to stop mining in Australia tunnel in Diwalwal after underground flashflood DAVAO City -- The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) 11 is set to recommend the stoppage of mining operations in the Area S1, Destino 568 level of Australia tunnel to reassess the underground situation after the collapse of an old working area due to flashflood over the weekend. Engr. Fedelis Echavez of MGB 11 said they have initially assessed the affected area but reassessment is needed and can be done only after the dewatering operation. He however clarified that only the mining operation of the affected tunnel, will be recommended and not the whole operation Australia tunnel or the Diwalwal mining operation in Mt. Diwata, Monkayo, Compostela Valley province. Based on an MGB inves-
tigation, Engr. Joel Catulong said they found out that the screen gate railings of the old working area at 568 level was blocked by debris preventing water to flow freely to the exit points. After continuous rain from February 15 until February 29, there was a water build up and finally gave way last Sunday. Catulong said the screened gate railings or steel gate serve as dividing line between Australia Tunnel and Las Vegas. When the water flowed to the Australia tunnel, miners were trapped last Sunday. During the search and retrieval operation on Monday, three bodies were recovered. Hours after the incident, the body of miner Ernest “Erning” Loquiña was found inside the Las Vegas tunnel situated below Australia tunnel.
Of the 14 persons trapped inside the tunnels, four are confirmed dead; six were saved and three are still missing. The missing miners are Bryan Monsoon, Roel Dacaldacal and Richard Monsoon. Engr. Bruce Santillan of the MGB 11 said the steel gates, which served to separate tunnels of each mining cooperative operating in Diwalwal, has now become a safety issue following the underground flashflood incident. As for now, Santillan said operation for the search of the three missing miners continues and the dewatering operation. The engineers however said the incident was isolated, thus the recommendation to stop operation focuses only on Area S1, Destino 568 level. The small scale mining
operation of Mt. Dwata is managed by the Natural Reservation Development Corporation (NRDC) which is in charge of collecting and allocating of mining
share and the issuance of service contracts within the 729 hectare area. Australia Tunnel, Las Vegas, Blucor and other groups are two of the tun-
nels located in the Balite area while the Tinago area is contracted to JB, among others. (PNA) JBP/LILIAN C. MELLEJOR/LDP
DOH, DA espouse responsible pet ownership DAVAO City -- The Department of Health and the Department of Agriculture in Region XI is espousing responsible pet ownership as the country is commemorating Rabies Awareness Month this March. Dr. Armie Capuyan of the Department of AgricultureXI said that aside from providing rabies vaccination to your pets particularly dogs, they should also keep their dogs in their cages or on their leashes rather than allowing them to roam outside their homes where they can bite people. Capuyan said that even with a rabies injection, it is
not 100% safe that the dog would contact rabies thus extra care is taken to prevent pets from biting people. According to Capuyan, there has been a 400% increase in dog bite incidents from 2010 to 2015. There were about 10,000 cases of dog bites in the country in 2010 in 2015 there were recorded 37,000 dog bites. Dr. Vergel Jay Bautista of the DOH Rabies Control and Prevention Program said in case of a dog bite, one must immediately wash off the wound. A tenminute thorough washing using soap is said to lower the chances of rabies virus
by 50%. However to be sure prophylaxis is to be undertaken by means of anti-rabies vaccination. Bautista said rabies prevention is very necessary as the rabies virus has 100% fatality rate. “There is no known cure when a person is afflicted by rabies.” Bautista said. According to data Davao Region had 22 human rabies cases in 2014 and about 16 human rabies cases in 2015. Davao City has six cases of rabies in 2014 and five in 2015. The DOH meanwhile has discourage bites victims to go to Tandok or quack bite treatment which uses special stones or deer horns as a means to suck out rabies from the wounds.

Waiting for a ‘better calling?’ Mindanao Daily NEWS northmin . westmin . caraga . davao
CAREER is a rapid motion. A course of action. Sure! A professional conduct in life. Even a progress through life. Here we are! That means, a careerist is one, who rushes widely and makes his own personal advancement as well as his (or her) own aim in life! What can we do, if “career doubts” won’t go away? First, allow me to quote my bible, especially Jude (Watching out! Sounding an alarm!), who writes in a style of a teacher who is watching a freight train bear down on his student’s driver. Yes, bells ring out: “Be merciful to those who doubt.” (Jude 2:22). My parents always wanted me to become a banker. So far so good. Why not? Maybe I would have been much more happier in my job during those times. Maybe not? I wanted to be a journalist already at the age of 6... . Believe it or not! The pressure “to be” (or later NOT TO BE - thank you Mr. Shakespeare!), started early in my life. Not only my parents, also my peers and teachers began to exert their influences on me. Yes, I even didn’t know yet where my inclinations lay. I only knew, I wanted to become a journalist... . Suddenly being a doctor or a lawyer? Yes, I was
interested in law and medicine at that time. I really got very lucky becoming an editor of German law magazines during my last 18 years in Germany. But I never became a lawyer - or doctor! Now, I would ask myself - who cares? “The way that people pick up careers is incredibly primitive,” said Nicholas Lore, founder of the Rockport Institute, a career coaching firm, and author of “The Pathfinder”. Strong tobacco, indeed. That’s why so many people are indeed dissatisfied with their jobs. I wanted to be a journalist, but mass communications wasn’t my major subject yet. During the early 1970’s publishing house management, German language, marketing and writing skills training. Once upon a time in Germany... .

Have my say
Klaus Doring
Believe me, I always thought about a true calling for myself. Sure, people, whose careers aren’t the fight fit often feel like impostors, as Professor Robert I. Sutton, an organizational psychologist at Stanford University in Palo Alto, said. Very, very well said, Sir. How about you, my dear reader of this column? Are you also placing too high a value on the external rewards of job, like money, prestige and power? Of course, for many of us (most?) these things are indeed important. Hold on, please! The work you do and the skills your opportunity require and the value of your work are really more vital to fulfillment. Paperwork, or not…. You think, you find a better a career fit? Go ahead - but don’t expect that this your life’s career! I waited for my “better calling” (what a terrible term!) experiencing many even better and wonderful moments in life. I experienced also that several professional things I did in the past had been not very much compatible to me. But I stored many valuable experiences. Today, I am what I am. And, I am proud of it.

Friendship on fire
As a matter of fact, this was what the 1986 EDSA regimes had been doing, rather unsuccessfully, if you ask me, for almost 30 years now---prosecuting the Marcoses to make them accountable for their supposed misdeeds and recover their alleged ill-gotten wealth. But then, let us not allow anymore the continuing and unrelenting anger by, or on the part of, the Marcoses’ political enemies---which
THINK a minute. A wise teacher said: “Marriage is a friendship on fire.” A couple who had been married over 30 years was telling a younger couple how happy they were. The older couple said how much fun they were having together, and that their physical passion was hotter than ever! Besides that, they said they were doing all the things they had wanted to for years. They were traveling together visiting their kids and grandchildren. This older couple took walks and talked together every day. They were each other’s best and closest friend. They say love and friendship in marriage should be like wine… it only gets better with age. I know couples whose love has grown sweeter and more satisfying as their friendship has grown deeper and closer. But just as it takes work and care to build a fire, and then to keep it burning, so also a “friendship on fire” takes time, patience, and work. Sadly, there are many good parents who are often irritated and angry with each other. They might have friendships with other people, but they have a hard time getting along with each other. They frequently argue and fight, so they just don’t enjoy close companionship and peace in their life together. But when your marriage is built on trust, respect, and open communication, then you can have a very close and satisfying friendship. Neither the husband nor the wife needs to feel jealous or suspicious of the other. Best friends understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses, but they still love and accept the whole person, the good with the bad. So they’re patient with their best friend’s faults.

BOC uncovers new ‘modus’ of smugglers Mindanao Daily News, Monday, March 7, 2016
By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent
CAGAYAN de Oro City-The Intelligence Group (IG) of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) in Northern Mindanao is now closely monitoring the new modus of arms smugglers after the group seized a container van containing smuggled guns and other hot items at the Mindanao Container Port Terminal (MCPT) in Tagoloan town on Wednesday (March 2). Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS) Head Alvin Enciso of Northern Mindanao said his group is now conducting an indepth investigation into the new modus of smuggling of contraband weapons. “The BOC-IG in Northern Mindanao is conducting further investigation into the new arms smuggling modus where the parts are hidden on boxes and household appliances,” Enciso
said. He said the intercepted container van has been the subject of an alert order issued by BOC-IG under retired Gen. Jessie Dellosa even before it arrived at the Tagoloan sub-port last year. Enciso identified the broker as a certain Oliver C. Lisondra and Starling Trading as consignee of the shipment with Entry no. C-9709, Bill of Lading no. 210361100A, and Control no. MSKU4681783. He said the shipment arrived at the port of Tagoloan in Misamis Oriental from the United States last year. It was declared as contents of “Tractors.” “It was immediately monitored upon arrival last year after the Customs intelligence group received information that the shipment contained contraband instead of the declared contents of Tractors,” Enciso told the Philippine Star.

After the container was opened for examination on Wednesday morning, Enciso said they found parts of Tractor, second hand Harley Davidson motorcycle, and gun parts and accessories for pistols and high-powered firearms. He said the Harley Davidson and gun parts and accessories of pistols and rifles were placed at the far end of the container. Later, he said the gun parts were put together and they were able to assemble four complete firearms––three pistols, and a high-powered firearms. These are the Glock 42 (380 caliber), Ruger LC 380, Sti Caliber 40 with Caspian slide, and M4 Spikes Tactical (5.56 caliber) high-powered rifle. Aside from gun parts and accessories, the BOC-IG team found other undeclared items in the shipment such as night vision goggles,
flat televisions, washing and other personal effects. machine, tools, machineries, He estimated the hot
items confiscated to worth at least P1.4 million.
Office of Presidential Adviser for the Peace Process (OPAPP) Secretary Teresita Quintos Deles says that peace cannot be achieved on discussions over table alone, it should be felt by the communities. Thus, there should be convergence among national government agencies, stakeholders and different sectors of society. Deles keynoted the program held during the second and last day of “serbisyo caravan” on 4 February 2016 in Gingoog City. (Irene Dayo/PIA10)

AS a TLE teacher, I am happy of the developments of the ICT industry in our country. I am confident that many of our junior high school students in our school will opt the tech-voc track once they get to senior high this June. The two-year tech-voc track will ultimately entice students to 1) go on working in the ICT industry, 2) get an NC II certification first before working or 3) go to college and take an ICT-related course. In Cagayan de Oro City, there are two tech-voc institutions and there are seven universities and colleges offering ICT courses. The tech-voc institutions are Informatics and Vineyard Polytechnic
College while the institutions of higher learning offering ICT programs are COC-Phinma, Xavier University, Liceo de Cagayan University, Capitol University, SPC, MUST and STI. There is a big attraction right now for employers in the ICT industry to gobble up our fresh graduates. The challenge now is for the industry and the academe to match their respective expectations. The graduates will be better equipped and their skills and talents enhanced once they receive training which is what exactly what the industry needs. The ICT industry is a very flexible one wherever you go. That is why academic syllabuses must be flexible too.

people are unemployed,” Lagnada observed. He submitted that Butuan politics is like a vehicle whose driver appeared to be “direction-less” after six
years. Lagnada made it clear when he said, “It is high time to share my talents with you. It is really high time to serve.”
BUTUAN City -- Engr. Ronnie Vicente Lagnada noted that Mayor Jun Amante has no development/economic plan for the City of Butuan to speak of since he took over as chief executive in 2010. In a recent dialogue with residents of Barangays Agao, Datu Silongan and Urduja here, Lagnada disclosed that Amante had ignored his advice for the mayor to formulate a master plan for
the city’s economic development to serve as guided to his programs, projects and activities. Lagnada stressed the need of a master plan to know where the city is heading to as programs are implemented. As a businessman and head of Equi Parco Construction Company, one of the leading construction firms in the county, Lagnada confessed that he has been a stickler to plans and guided by them, he has
been successful in completing his projects according to schedule. Lagnada admitted to supporting Amante in the past but expressed his disappointment for the latter’s “lack of focus” in providing the city with basic necessities. “If you want to move forward and industrialize, you should make available the following utilities: water, power, reliable roads, and modern communications,” he said. “For the past six years as

To date, WPF has 574 partners – 6 platinum and 22 gold donors, 12 service partners, and 534 site partners. These site partners, mostly meteorological sites that are vulnerable to frequent weather disturbances, receive AWS units for free. An AWS measures its location’s rainfall, temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed and wind direction, and global solar radiation. These data are then processed through weather specialist MeteoGroup’s systems and uploaded as accurate five-day weather forecasts on WPF’s website www.weather.com. ph and WeatherPhilippines mobile app for both Apple EXTRAJUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF THE ESTATE WITH A DEED OF CONDITIONAL SALE Notice is hereby given that the intestate estate of the Late ROGELIO O.

and Android devices. WPF initially set to rollout 1,000 AWS nationwide to provide free, accurate, and localized weather information as a complement to the government’s effort to build a more resilient Philippines amidst a barrage of typhoons whole year round, by increasing community awareness and building capacity to prepare and respond to disaster. “We are on a mission to build a #WeatherWiser nation; we want to encourage every Filipino to use weather information for decision-making, pro-active risk management, and disaster preparedness,” said WPF General Manager Dave Valeriano. He noted that WPF is constantly seeking publicprivate partners to expand its AWS network and widen the scope of its educational initiatives. In 2015, WPF signed partnership agreements with the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation and Ayala Corporation, and started operationalizing its
agreement with the Department of Education with Weather 101 seminars to its disaster risk reduction and management council members.

In assessing open green space in urbanized Davao it pays to give attention to what are now internationally accepted standards.

Constructivism: A New Learning Style for the 21st Century Learners By CRISPINA R. BALINO Bonbon Elementary School
Constructivism sets a new paradigm in education. It allows learner to construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world, through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences. A constructivist teacher encourages learners constantly assess learners how the activity is helping them in order to gain understanding. With their own evaluation of the activi-
ties given to them learners will ideally become “expert learners”. This will give them a broadening tools to keep on learning. In this learning strategy pupils will work as a team, they are viewed as thinkers with emerging theories about the world. Generally the task of the teacher is only to facilitate learning activities. The Department of Education together with Knowledge Channel and other partners had been conducting workshop to all
school head and teachers in order to adapt the new learning strategy that will change the pace of education in the Philippines. Constructivism is a learning strategy that will make a teacher an effective individual far from the traditional way of teaching. It will allow every learner become more creative and develop its own critical thinking to every given situation. The central idea of constructivism is that human learning is constructed, that learners build knowledge
upon the foundation of previous learning. It represents one of the big ideas in education. Teacher must remember that, as educators they had to focus in their student’s welfare. To date, a focus on studentcentered learning may well be the most important contribution of constructivism. We are now in the 21st century, were Filipinos of today’s generation always aim to have an access to excellent and relevant education.

CRISPR a new tool in editing DNA By ERLYN P. BULAWIN TCNHS
CLUSTERED regularly-interspaced short palindromic repeats or CRISPR are segments of prokaryotic DNA containing short repetitions of base sequences. Each repetition is followed by short segments of spacer DNA from previous exposures to a bacterial virus or plasmid. The CRISPR system is a prokaryotic immune system that confers resistance to foreign genetic elements such as plasmids and phages and provides a form of acquired immunity. CRISPR spacers recognize and cut these exogenous genetic elements in a manner analogous to RNA interference in eukaryotic organisms. CRISPRs are found in ap-
proximately 40 percent of sequenced bacteria genomes and 90 percent of sequenced archaea. The CRISPR interference technique has enormous potential application including altering the germline of humans, animals and other organisms and modifying the genes of food crops. By delivering the Cas9 protein and appropriate guide RNAs into a cell, the organism’s genome can be cut at any desired location. CRISPRs have been used in concert with specific endonuclease enzymes for genome editing and gene regulation in species throughout the tree of life. Ethical concerns have been expressed about this nascent biotechnology and the prospect of editing the human germline.
Higher learning begets higher earning By ALEEN B. QUIPQUIPAN Teacher I
IT is our duty as teachers to inculcate the values of education in children as young as three years old. Why? Because based from each of our respective life experiences, we know that a person who has completed education will become successful throughout his or her life. And education starts from the nursery level. Actually, the first educator of a child’s life is his or her parents. But the moment the child goes to school, he or she spends the whole eight hours of the day in school. That is why it is our duty as teachers to monitor the children in our respective classrooms. We are like second parents to each one of them – maybe fifty in all in one classroom. Just as natural parents, we must look after the welfare of each child
especially their academic performance. We must also be alarmed if a child cannot immediately catch the lesson of the day up. This June as senior high school starts implementation, it is also our duty as teachers to inform wisely our high school students on what track they must take so they can immediately craft a lifetime career. Some may opt to start working after graduating from Senior High. Others may opt to continue with a vocational course, take an NC II certification exam and earn beyond minimum wage abroad. While others will continue four more years in college so they can grab a white-collar job here or in Manila. Whatever track the child chooses, he or she will ultimately earn high once s/he completes the education curriculum.

provisions from DA will help them in developing initially the five-hectare land to be planted with corn. Members of the group envisioned to expand the corn areas to come up with a plantation type of operation along with other commodities suitable for their area. DA’s support to the Manobo community of La Paz complemented the vision of LGU to increase production efficiency and reduce production costs by mechanizing critical field operation and contribute to the food sufficiency program of the government. DA Caraga is implementing the Corn Program, a major component of the Medium Term Agriculture Development Plan to ensure national sufficiency in corn and promote empowerment in the countryside by enabling farmers to raise their income.

shedding from March 3 to March 8 due to the continuing power supply shortage in Mindanao. “Due to the worsening power supply shortage in Mindanao, further reductions in Cepalco’s hourly power supply allocations are being implemented by State-run Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM), formerly National Power Corporation (Napocor),” said the power distributor in its advisory. Aside from Cagayan de Oro, Cepalco is also distributing power supply to the towns of Tagoloan, Villanueva, and Jasaan, all in Misamis Oriental. However, the Cepalco did not say whether its daily rotating brownouts have something to do with the scheduled preventive maintenance of Steag State Power Inc. (SPI), a coal-fired power plant in Jasaan, Misamis Oriental. Jerome Soldevilla, SPI spokesperson, told a local radio station that its second power turbine was placed under preventive maintenance from March 5-6. Soldevilla said the second power turbine has to undergo the preventive maintenance for it to be able to generate a stable power supply. On March 8 (Tuesday), Group 1 belonging to Feeder 1 and 4 in Camaman-an, Feeder 2 of Kauswagan, and Villa Feeder 2 will experience power interruptions from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon. Group 2, under Carmen Feeder 2, Pueblo Feeder 1, and Baloy Feeder 2, will have no power from 12 noon to 2:30 in the afternoon. Group 3, which belongs to Carmen Feeder 3, Macasandig Feeder 1, Tagoloan Feeder 1, Camaman-an Feeder 2, and Villa Feeder 1, will have no lights from 2:30 p.m. until 5 in the

Yes, teach our children history and about martial law, about reading, writing, and arithmetic, but we should also bring back their subject on good manners and right conduct, and even their subject on religion anchored on their respective faiths. If we do this now, we will be producing a citizenry who fears and love God and who would not, therefore, cheat, steal, and lie. From the time these subjects were taken away from our children, many of them became wayward and outrightly criminal and devilish, which became worse after then Sen. Francis Pangilinan authored a law that exempted children from arrests and any criminal liability.

We have all experienced having a hard time remembering something. May it be a lesson you’re supposed to remember for school, an appointment you need to attend, a presentation you must be confident about, a birthday of a friend or even your anniversary! Everything is relevant and you cannot afford to forget or miss out on any of it—even the detail it entails!
Those pieces of information are crucial and you don’t want to compromise your character just because of your forgetfulness. For better concentration, there is another way of helping you achieve the ample amount of focus, clear mind and better function of the brain. ATC Healthcare has made a dietary supplement from the oldest living tree—the Ginkgo Biloba. It has been
used for enhancing the brain since the ancient times. ATC Ginkgo Biloba is used for the management of memory loss, improvement of cognitive functions and primary senses. Also, it aids the regulation of blood flow to the brain thus lowers the possibility of having a stroke that may lead to serious hazards. It also protects and heals damaged cells that may even lead to Alzheimer’s disease and may manage the symptoms of dementia. Other than these extremely great benefits, it alleviates depression and mood swings as well. Note that, Ginkgo Biloba is not a medicinal drug and is not used to treat the symptoms of any disease. Do not put yourself in a position wherein people need to remind you the things you should do. Enhance your brain more with ATC Ginkgo Biloba at P6.00 SRP per capsule, available at all Mercury Drug stores and other leading drugstores and supermarkets nationwide!

geographical urbanized area under green cover. Taking these examples Davao City has a long way to go! The third international indicator is “Nature Nearby” meaning: Is there green space close to where you live in the city? Are the green open spaces well spread out over the urbanized land area? The international standard is: ensure that there is an accessible public park or recreational open space within 500 meters of every city resident. This standard aims to provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces particularly for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities. Conclusion: It is important to ask ourselves: what really makes a city attractive whether as resident, or as a casual or long-term visitor? Worldwide opinion polls time and again affirm that it is because of their varied
green, open, public spaces. That’s why, when we travel abroad, we like places like Singapore, we like cities like New York (Imagine, Central Park, 341 hectares smack in the middle of the city!), we like London (Hyde Park 142 hectares). It is therefore simply unimaginable to do away with the 10% green space. In fact it is way too little. It is also not a matter of getting stuck in legalese or getting around, making accommodations or loopholes in the laws or regulations. As citizens of Davao all of us, citizens, councilors, developers ought to take the moral high ground and push for more green open accessible spaces over and above what the law requires and not dilute it. That is sustainability, that is citizenship, that is what we owe to the generations of Davaoenos to come. *** [MindaViews is the opin-

He is also passionate about environmental care and is a board member of IDIS (Interface Development Interventions), Save Davao Shrine Hills advocate. He manages the family’s indigenous tree farm in Baguio District. He joined thousands of Dabawenyos in welcoming Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s veto of the ordinance that would have done away with the green space requirement and hopes the City Council will not override the veto).

They also are loyal and protect each other’s reputation with other people. Friends are honest with each other and talk about their real feelings, instead of staying angry inside and growing farther apart. They also know how to laugh and have fun together just doing simple, daily things. Friend, it’s never too late to change and get closer to your wife or husband. Becoming best friends for life is one of the greatest gifts and successes you’ll ever have! But it takes daily time, listening, forgiving, accepting, and changing by both of you. Yet your reward and profit is so big and great! So why not ask Jesus Christ to forgive you for your own wrong attitudes, unforgiveness, and self-centeredness in your marriage? Ask Jesus to take charge of your heart and help you to start changing. Then each day you can start enjoying a closer, happier friendship on fire with your wife or husband. You won’t regret it! Just Think a Minute.

square meters or almost one hectare. If we assume, for instance, that Davao City has a population of 1.5 million, it means that our open green space should aim for a total green urban area of around 1,350 hectares. This is equivalent to 3.3% of our 40,000 hectares of urbanized area. 3.3% should be enhanced, transformed or expanded into green open spaces. Now is the time to start. As of now the 25-year development plan of Davao City recommends only 0.5 square meter of park/open space per resident. It means that the Davao standard is only 6% of the internationally accepted standard! This brings us to the second standard. Open green space should be proportionate to the size of the urbanized land area. Studies indicate that green open space should never be less than 10% of the urbanized land area. As a point of comparison, Singapore has been able to reach 17%. A study of more than 430 cities in China in 1991 showed that on average more than 20% of each city’s land area was accessible, open green space and as the cities developed they made sure to even increase the green open space to 24% five years later. Overall Asia wide studies show that Asian cities well-known for their open spaces and sustainability have or aim for: 20 to 30% of the total
