City Councilor Prexy Elipe, chair of the council committee on finance, said that hospital patients who are earning P 10,000 or less a month will benefit more from the new revenue code.

only this week that they were able go here and report what happened to them on late September.

About 20 students of Mindanao Interfaith Services Foundation, Incorporated (MISFI) Academy in Kapalong, Davao del Norte, were reported to have been in the group who were fired upon by members of the tribal militia, called Alamara.

On September 28, Alamara miiltiamen stopped the students to search through their school supplies, even though the students have asked their permission a day before they were to return to the school.

The students went downhill to Sitio Patil, the commercial center of Barangay Gupitan, to buy school supplies. From there the group decided to stay overnight, but asked permission from

the Alamara that they would be returning to the school the following day.

Yanyan, one of the students, said Sitio Patil, is an hour walk from the the school’s location in Sitio Muling, and it is the nearest commercial place where they have been buying all of their supplies.

On September 28, early in the morning, Yanyan told DepEd officials that they were stopped by the paramilitary group asking them to show them what they are bringing and after the checking, one member of the paramilitary group yelled at them saying bad words.

Yanyan recalled that one militiaman “shouted at us calling us demons”. “Mga yawa mo! Dili mo garespeto sa amoa! (Demons! You’re not respecting us)”.

Yanyan told Davao Today that they were clueless as to why they shouted at the students as the military also demanded that they ask for forgiveness from the Alamara. In fear that they might be shot dead or interrogated, Yanyan and his friends asked for forgiveness so that they can go home.

“After that, we just heard gunshots, three gunshots,” Yanyan explained. One of his companions ran due to fear but all the rest stayed down thinking that it could be their death.

Yanyan said, “I already did not think of running for they [Alamara] are just close to us, we could be killed if we will run.”

Yanyan said that it was a few minutes after they were ignored by the paramilitary group that they left the place and go home. (davaotoday.com)

National Rabies Control Program declares Surigao town rabies free S

By AUREIUS ARAIS, Contributor

OCORRO, Surigao del Norte – Strolling along the streets alone or with friends is one way of stress-unwinding activity.

But if threats from dog attack always exist, staying at home is a better option.

In Socorro town here, the situation is different nowadays. Everyone is free to roam around and chances of encountering stray dogs have become nil. I never saw a roaming canine during my short stint here as reporter for the Department of Agriculture (DA)-Caraga.

This was the result of a massive campaign by the local government against rabies.

In a ceremony last October 22, 2014 here, the National Rabies Prevention and Control Program through its National Manager Dr, Raffy Deray announced that Socorro has been officially declared as one of the areas in the country as rabies-free.

The rite was witnessed by officials from the Department of Health and DA-Caraga headed by Regional Director Edna Mabeza, Surigao del Norte provincial and town officials, barangay leaders and residents.

Regional Rabies Coordinator Dr. Esther Cardeño said credit should be given to the close collaboration of various government agencies such as the DOH, DA, Department of the Interiorr and Local Government (DILG), Department of Education, the Socorro local government, non-government organizations, and academe.

The Socorro government actively supported the campaign by promulgating an ordinance regulating the town’s canine population.

The local law obliged dog owners to have a dog house in their respective residences and penalized violators.

The DA provided the needed vaccines as it implemented dog population management and conducted massive information campaign.

Socorro Vice Mayor Dominador Taruc said that following his town’s being declared rabies free, the “great task” of maintaining the record lies on its officials and residents.

Socorro is the second town in Mindanao declared as rabies-free after Camiguin. To date, 23 areas nationwide have been declared jointly by DA and DOH as Rabies Free Zones.

ANTI-RABIES MANIFESTO - Department of Agriculture in Caraga Acting Regional Director IV Edna Mabeza signs a manifesto committing to continue the campaign against rabies in a ceremony in Socorro, Surigao del Norte. Officials from DILG, DOH, Surigao del Norte province, Socorro town, and barangay leaders followed suit. During the program,Socorro town was declared by National Rabies Program Manager Dr. Raffy Deray rabies-free.

Stiffer penalties to stop wildlife exploitation Stiffer penalties must be instituted to stop the exploitation of wildlife species and their respective habitats penalize its illegal trade, because it has worsened the conservation status of the country’s endemic species.

Amendments to the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act introduced in Congress provides recognition of additional prohibited acts and increased penalties for the improved protection and conservation of wildlife.

The continued illegal trade of wildlife, locally and internationally, has worsened the conservation status of the country’s endemic species, which led to the dwindling population in the wild.

“In fact, wildlife offenders have become more brazen in their illegal trade as illustrated by cases like the apprehension of a foreign

Editorial fisherfolk who had at least 200 individual live and dead pawikan species in their vessel,” according to the proponent. This is a fact.

There are a lot of violations occurring agauinst wildlife preservation, suchg as the recent discovery of a 50-foot container van in North Harbor filled with stuffed Pawikan, dried black corals, and other marine life.

Inded, there is a pressing need to increase the deterrent aspect of the law and improve protective measures because violators are not only targeting individual wildlife but whole populations as well.

The bill amends Section 27 of the Wildlife Act which reads that “Any person who shall induce another or conspire to commit any

of the following illegal acts or suffer their workers to commit any of the same, shall be liable in the same manner as the one actually performing the act.”

Section 27 further states that it shall be unlawful for any person to exploit wildlife resources and their habitats or undertake acts such as which cause death to wildlife species.

The bill prohibits treasure-hunting and prospecting, engagement in kaingin, or causing forest or bush fires, establishing or introducing any exotic species, which are detrimental to endemic species.

The bill imposes a penalty of not more than 12 years and a fine of not more than P1 million on any person who inflicts or undertakes illegal acts against wildlife species listed as critical.

But if such illegal act

is inflicted or undertaken against more than one head of such species, imprisonment of not more than 20 years and a fine of not more than P2 million shall be imposed.

The bill calls for the creation of the Critical Habitat Management Office (CHMO) to be headed by a Critical Habitat Superintendent and to be established in each DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) regional and or field office having designated critical habitat areas.

The Critical Habitat Management Office shall head the protection of the critical habitat, in coordination with the local government units (LGUs) and other concerned groups and shall have a complement staff, supported by wildlife enforcement officers. Let all concerned support this noble endeavor.

There was a man who was the only survivor from a shipwreck.

He drifted to an uninhabited island where he built a hut for his shelter.

One evening after he returned from searching

for food, he found his little hut on fire.

Early the next morning he awoke to find a ship that had come in during the night.

When the captain came on shore he told the man: “We saw your smoke signal so we came to rescue you.”

Everything this man owned and valued in his hut had to be destroyed before he could be saved.

army’s 8th Infantry Battalion, were captured in Impasug-ong, Bukidnon on July 22, 2014.

He said that the NPA has earlier asked for a 10day SOMO and SOPO to facilitate the release of the two soldiers to a third party composed of the religious and human rights groups and the local government units.

Juanito said that the military instead launched an offensive operation under pretext of rescuing the two soldiers which resulted in seven encounters in the provinces of Bukidon and Misamis Oriental which resulted in the killing of 11 on the military side.

The National Democratic Front (NDF) has reduced the number of days for the SOMO and SOPO hoping that the military will consider the safety of the two soldiers now held in captivity, Juanito said.

Juanito, however, assured the families, relatives, friends of the captive soldiers that as Prisoners of War the rights of the soldiers are protected in accordance with the Articles of War on POWs under the Geneva Convention.

The video release also showed that the two captive soldiers are well and healthy while listening as Juanito reads the appeal for the SOMO and SOPO in compliance with the NDF order to release the two soldiers.

The NDF is showing sincerity in its renewed call for the government and the NDF to return to the negotiating table in order to hammer a lasting peace agreement with the communist rebels, Juanito said.

Key members of the Ampatuan family suspected of involvement have been arrested and currently detained in a jail in Metro Manila while court proceedings that began on January 5, 2010 continue.

They include former Maguindanao governor Andal Ampatuan Sr. and his sons Andal Jr., former mayor of Datu Unsay town, and Zaldy, former governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

The victims were to file the certificate of candidacy (COC) for governor of then Buluan vice mayor Esmael Mangudadatu, who eventually won the contest in the May 2010 polls.

Their convoy was flagged

down by around 200 gunmen then commandeered towards a hilly portion where they were massacred.

Some of the victims were civilians who passed by the road at the wrong time.

Mangudadatu was spared from the massacre because he sent his wife and several female family members to file his COC. The slain media workers were part of the convoy to cover the COC filing. (Ferdinandh B. Cabrera/MindaNews)

ILLANUEVA, Misamis Oriental -- Major Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) players in Mindanao signed a tripartite memorandum of understanding (MOU), Friday, October 31, consisting of STEAG State Power Inc. (SPI), Oriental Motolite Markerting Corporation (OMMC) and the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) to support two major undertakings -the Balik Baterya Program and the Learning Enhancement and Assistance Project (LEAP).

SPI agrees to donate its Used Lead Acid Batteries (ULABs) and the used Uninterruptible Power Supply Batteries (UPSBs) to OMMC for proper treatment and recycling. OMMC, in return, values the ULABs and UPSBs at a premium price and remit the cash value of the donated used batteries to support PBSP’s Project LEAP on education, which includes provision for textbooks and workbooks, conduct of remedial reading, supplemental feeding, teachers training and desk chairs.

Dr. Carsten Evers, power plant manager of SPI, said during the MOU signing at the Mindanao Power Plant that batteries cannot just be dropped anywhere. “It has to be disposed off properly,” Dr. Evers said.

SPI’s C SR prog ram geared on education sees fit to support the PBSP’s education program by way of Social Empowerment through Education (SEEd) and OMMC’s Balik Baterya Program, said Ms. Ma. Teresa Alegrio, SPI community relations manager.

Ms. Connie Deligero, CSR officer of OMMC, said, “We owe this (project) to our children and the future,” referring to the impact of the project to the environment.

“In keeping with its commitment to protect the environment, SPI ensures that disposal of these materials comply with the applicable environmental rules set by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR),” a statement released by SPI also said.

SPI’s partnership with OMMC and PBSP provides

for the right mechanism for the disposal and recycling of these materials, at the same time, provide opportunities to support community development initiatives, it said.

At the signing ceremony were Dr. Evers, Ms. Alegrio, community relations manager of SPI and Mr. Francis Libao, SPI Environment, Safety and Health officer, representing SPI; PBSP Regional Manager Garibalde Alvin Enriquez; and Ms. Deligero for OMMC. SPI donated approximately 660 pieces of used b atter ies acc umu l ate d through the years since the start of its power plant operations in 2006. These batteries, valued more than P40,000, are presently kept at the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) of SPI’s power plant in Villanueva.

Through the years, SPI has been actively engaged in various social and environmental protection programs as part of its continuing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts. SPI’s flagship CSR programs include Social Empowerment through Education (SEEd); Livelihood and Enterprise Development (LEAD); Enhancing Governance for Local Development (EGoLD); Water, Sanitation and Health (WaSH); Fostering Rural Electrification and Energization (FREE); and Environmental Conservation (ECo) programs.

M’nao farmers ready for ASEAN Integration CAGAYAN de Oro City “When you look at ASEAN and beyond, the Philippines is already well-positioned, but we have to unite around the AEC game plan; the government has a role, but private sector is the key,” said Atty. Adrian S. Cristobal, Jr.,Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) undersecretary in his keynote speech during the Mindanao Food Congress held in Cagayan de Oro City recently.

In consonance with its theme: “Aligning Mindanao Food Security in the ASEAN Market,” the convergence of key players and stakeholders in the agriculture and other related industries in Mindanao aims to identify areas in food production that needs enhancement through public-private partnership.

This is seen to boost the competitiveness of the agriculture sector and make the country be at par with its neighbors in the ASEAN region on the onset of the implementation of the ASEAN Economic Integration.

The event also serves as a venue for food producers

and other stakeholders to explore for more available financial windows and to share their best practices in their respective fields and in turn, learn from each other and replicate them.

Cristobal emphasized that the country needed to enhance competitiveness, improve compliance, promote collaboration and intensify communication in order to have more access in the ASEAN market. He revealed that the government has been conducting information campaign and has implemented projects in order to prepare the industries for the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).

Meanwhile, Dr. Rolando T. Dy, executive director of Center for Food and Agribusiness of the University of Asia and the Pacific also revealed that among the potential export champion commodities, the country is already competitive on pineapple and cavendish banana as to productivity, cost, quality, supply reliability and branding. He stressed that in order to maximize the

country’s export potentials with commodities such as cacao, coffee, cardava banana, corn, coconut, palm oil and rubber, all stakeholders must collaborate in order to fill the competitiveness gaps.

He reiterated that it should be addressed through private sector-driven initiatives, but in accordance with the road maps crafted by the government.

Accordingly, the Department of Agriculture (DA) presented its six-year (2014-2020) development program. Director Shandy M. Hubilla of the Philippine Rural Development Project (DA-PRDP) Luzon B Project Support Office revealed that the PRDP will center on the value-chain focusing on the priority commodities and climate change resiliency and adaptation in the implementation of its sub-projects.

The PRDP which has a P27-billion budget aims to provide key infrastructure, facilities, technology and information to increase income, productivity and competitiveness among small holder farmer and fisherfolk

groups in the countryside through a partnership with the local government units and the private sector.

Within its six-year implementation, the PRDP has allocated P2-billion for infrastructure development for the Mindanao cluster. This will include farm-to-market roads and facilities. The said budget is the biggest compared to the other clusters in the country. Moreover, for 2014 PRDP has allocated around P251-million for agri-enterprise development for Mindanao. This will be for the commodities such as rubber, cassava, coconut and abaca.

The Mindanao Food Congress is a collaborative effort of Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry Foundation, Inc., the local government unit of Cagayan de Oro, the Mindanao Development Authority together with the regional offices of the DA, DTI, National Economic Development Authority and the Mindanao Business Council.

MIA DURANO Anatomy of a fashion blogger

By MARK FRANCISCO, Assistant Lifestyle Editor

MEET Mia Durano. Fashionista. Socialite. Blogger.

She’s the de facto quintessential princess of style in CDO. At the tender age of 18, Mia started her blog TheHandmadeTurban.com. Two years later today, it has already commanded quite a following among young fashionistas in Cagayan de Oro. Coming from a prominent family in Cebu, you would expect Mia to be the maarte type.

She’s the opposite instead.

In this interview conducted last Friday at Starbucks Centrio, Mia shows up in a simple black tank top with very minimal makeup and all. She converses in a bubbly and carefree way, recounting her blogging, travels and experiences in casual joy.

“It is but natural for a girl or a woman to be conscious of how she looks and how she carries herself at all times. It’s not being fashionista, it’s just being who we are,” Mia says.

Sometime in April 2012, this AB International Studies senior from Xavier University chanced upon an online tutorial on how to make your

own turban. Mia tinkered with all the sewing stuff, taking photos in the process and posting them online.

This was the birth of TheHandmadeTurban.com.

Today, Mia updates her blog once a week. “My priority is my studies first.

We have an ongoing thesis to defend but while I have the time, I blog,” she says.

Assisting Mia in taking up pictures of her in various outfits is her 16-year-old younger sister Aniana who is a budding fashionista herself.

Staying in CDO for the past eight years has also inspired Mia to start her blog.

“The fashion sense among Cagayanons has definitely evolved. Our looks have become more vibrant,

T’s an initial big triumph for Move this World-Pilipinas, ROTA Philippines, Inc. and Green Hand, three Cagayan de Oro-based groups, who are included among the ten nominees from Mindanao shortlisted for the prestigious Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (TAYO) 2014 awards.

Anti-bullying lobbyists Move this World-Pilipinas, mountaineers-with-a-cause ROTA Philippines, Inc. and gardening advocates Green Hand will join eight other groups to compete in the two-day Area Finals for TAYO 2014 this November 10 to 11 here in Cagayan de Oro City.

Youth Builders (Compostela Valley), Hearts and Brains Youth Volunteers (General Santos City), Holy Trinity College ENACTUS (General Santos City), New Breed Special Force (Davao City) and SDSSU 4-H Club (Taglina).

Move this World’s journey is an inspiring one. Started in 2013 in Cagayan de Oro City by physical education teacher Primitivo Ragandang, it has introduced dance workshops all over Mindanao as a peace and stress-relieving tool especially at schools in conflict-rdden areas.

By late 2013, they have shifted focus to fasttrack the implementation of Republic Act (RA) 10627, otherwise known as the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013.

They train both teachers and

students on movement- and dance-based workshops that will discourage bullying and promote empathy, mediation, diversity appreciation, anger management and conflict transformation.

Topics discussed include Social and Emotional Learning in a Safe School Climate, Gamebased Approach of Understanding Emotional Learning, Biological and Scientific Triggers to Behavior, Somatic Safe Space Building, Dance and Empathetic Behavor, Sports for Bullying Prevention, among others.

HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE PART 11 http://www.chinkeetan.com/ insensitive that he/she doesn’t care if he/she has offended you with his words and actions? Is your spouse your greatest source of criticism and discouragement? Does he/she express his/her regrets that he/she married you? I am sorry to say but technically speaking you are a battered husband/wife.

KINDS OF ABUSE

TAN

by CHINKEE

HOW TO WIN BACK YOUR DIGNITY AND CONFIDENCE? Disclaimer: This blog can happen to both male and female.

Have you been hurt by your partner or spouse?

Not physically but verbally, mentally and emotionally?

Have you ever heard someone telling you these lines: “Sino magtiyatiyaga sa iyo, tignan mo nga itsura mo?”

“Ang pangit mo na, ang taba taba mo pa! “ “Wala nang magmamahal sa iyo!”

“Wala kang silbi. Daig mo pa ang inutil.”

This is where the BPS comes in, also known as the “Battered Person Syndrome.”

Reality speaking, even if it’s not physical abuse it can still be considered as BPS because abuse can come in many different ways. Are you being compared to someone else so many times? Is your spouse always highlighting your mistakes? Does he/ she emphasize on the things that you can’t do, rather on the things that you can? Do you have a spouse who is so

VERBAL Verbal abuse occurs when one person uses words and body language to inappropriately criticize another person.

It is defined as improper or excessive use of language to undermine someone’s dignity and security through insults or humiliation, in a sudden or repeated manner.

MENTAL Mental abuse is a form of violence that affects the mind, often leaving the abused feeling worthless and lacking empowerment. You’ll know that you’re mentally abused if your partner/spouse are doing things that make you feel unloved and unworthy of respect.

This type of abuse prevents healthy lifestyles because the abused feels he/she is unable to reach goals or participate in healthy behaviors. A person who is mentally abused often feel insecure, depress and miserable.

EMOTIONAL Emotional abuse may be occurring if “you are being treated in a way that makes you upset, ashamed or embarrassed.” Furthermore, your partner may say mean things to you, threaten you, insult you, put you down, and tell you that you make poor decisions, make you feel crazy, isolate you from friends or family, or

ignore your feelings. Common phrases an emotional abuser may say are, “You’re so stupid,” “Nobody else would ever want you,” “You look disgusting” and “You’ll never be good enough to do that.”

Our tongue is so powerful.

It can bring healing and it can bring pain; it can bring life and it can bring death; it can build and it can destroy. It’s amazing that even though our tongue doesn’t have bones, it can strike a person down. Imagine how small it is yet so powerful that it can destroy not just one’s dignity and confidence but most importantly lives and relationships. (James 3:1-12) People often say hurtful words and statements especially when they are angry or disappointed, when they’re tired or exhausted, when they’re in a bad mood. But for some, it’s like a habit that they’re unaware of. It’s just too sad that when they’ve finally realized how they’ve been too harsh and abusive, it already ruined someone else’s self esteem. Damage has been done. Wounds have been made. You can say sorry and apologize, but words spoken cannot be taken back. You can be forgiven, but the words you spoke will never be forgotten.

So don’t mix your ‘bad words’ with your ‘bad mood’ because you’ll have many opportunities to change your mood, but you’ll never get the opportunity to replace the words you spoke.

Words and hearts should be handled with care for words when spoken and hearts when broken are the hardest things to repair. Be sure to ‘taste’ your words before you spit them out.

Now, the question is, if you were the victim of verbal, mental and emotional abuse, how can you win back your dignity and confidence?

DECIDE Enough is enough! Decide and resolve to protect yourself from these abusive patterns.

You need to protect & love yourself. This abuse will not stop unless you decide to do something about it. Wake up, stand on your ground and reject those abuses against you.

Maybe you’re thinking, “Who will change my spouse or my partner, I am the only person who can help him change and understand.” May I ask, “How can you help others if you cannot help yourself?”

Prioritize yourself before your prioritize others.

Maybe you’re asking, ‘do you mean to say I should leave my spouse?’. No, the only time you should consider leaving is when there’s a threat to your life and your kids. Okay, you’ve decided to protect yourself from these abuses,

now, what practical steps can you do: 1. Talk to your spouse about what you’re feeling and the possible consequences both of you can experience if this continues.

2. Do not absorb all the ‘painful words’ your spouse is telling you. Allow it to enter with your left ear then let it go out with your right ear. Don’t let it dwell in your heart and mind, just let it go. It will not help you anyway. So if your spouse is throwing ‘trashes’ on you, don’t store it, throw it away. Don’t keep it.

3. Let those ‘negative statements’ challenge and motivate you to excel more in everything. Prove your spouse wrong by living victoriously.

BREAK THE CYCLE Try to determine how and when the abuse started. Know its source. Maybe it all starts from a minor and petty disagreement, needs that weren’t met, unfulfilled expectations, unresolved issues from the past, a bad habit he/she inherited from his/her family, lack of attention, etc. Know its roots, break it, and reconcile by appeasing the victim.

SEEK HELP You can’t deal with this alone. Admit to yourself that you need help. Tell someone you trust; who can take extensive measures to protect your safety and privacy, such as your doctor or a professional counsellor. A professional counsellor can help you understand what you’re going through and can help you get out of that situation (being abused). Find a support group too that can provide information, a place to stay, counseling and emotional support, as well as point you to legal help.

You also need spiritual and emotional strength. Join a church fellowship/community, a small group or a bible study group that can pray and help you as you go through this season of your life.

BELIEVE IN THE TRUTH, NOT IN A LIE Never believe to what the person is telling you because that’s not the truth.

“Walang kang kwentang tao!”

“Wala nang magtiyatiyaga sa iyo!”

“Wala nang magmamahal sa iyo!”

The Bible clearly tells us the opposite: “You are fearfully and wonderfully made for He created your inmost being...” (Psalm 139:14) “He will never ever leave you nor forsake you...” (Hebrews 13:5) “He have loved you with an everlasting love...” (Jeremiah

Read it, reflect on it and keep it in your heart and mind. Do not be deceived by the abusive words that you hear from your spouse or from anyone else.

Remember who created you, and how much God deeply and endlessly loves you. His love for you is so great that He gave His one and only Son so you can have eternal life.

THINK. REFLECT. APPLY. Are you being battered by your spouse?

What are you planning to do about it?

Have you made an effort to reach out and break the cycle of abuse?

...MIA from Page B1 I’m happy that our sense of style has changed,” Mia quips.

“When dressing up, I always make comfort my number 1 priority. I like to feel free and easy in the clothes I wear, and not fussy and hot. I guess you could say tiis ganda doesn’t apply to me. It’s all about the comfort with the right amount of sexy,” she says in one of her posts.

And then there’s the difference between being fashion-conscious and brand-conscious. Whether it’s a Mango top or a jacket bought from her friend’s online shop, Mia says she doesn’t mind at all as long as she looks good in them.

Mia looks up to Guess fashion ambassador Chiara Ferragni and Japan-based Dutch fashion blogger Rumi Neely as her icons. Locally, she roots for Krystle Uy (WAGW).

Mia maintains her figure by practicing jiujitsu at CGY Fit. She also loves pampering her hair and nails (right now, she has her hair dyed dark blue.)

For more of Mia’s adventures, go to TheHandmadeTurban. com.

...TAYO from Page B1 the inclusion of their respective parents, school officials and the community in general.

Move this World has discovered that according to studies, there were 34 percent fewer incident reports for schools engaged in Move this World program and 80 percent decrease in student suspensions, dropping from 52 to 16 in one year in one school for instance.

According to Ragandang, mesosystemic interventions such as what they are doing have shown success comparable to efforts to effect individual change.

Empathy education will also develop leadership growth in children. The development of empathic abilities aids in communication and social bonding, leading to a change in attitudes toward diversity, including a deeper awareness of one’s culture which can lead to the identification of a common humanity.

“Conciliatory gestures such as an outstretched hand, an embrace, a kiss and a smile are behaviors aimed at reducing violent behavior,” Ragandang

said.

He added that it is critical for teachers to be exposed in empathy education because they “can raise the larger community’s consciousness of the role and importance of empathy in social transactions.”

Move this World also has chapters in Baltimore, Newark, New York City, Washington (DC), Colombia and Germany.

On the other hand, Rebirth Outdoor Trekkers and Adventurers (ROTA) Philippines, Inc. is a non-government organization (NGO) composed of mountaineers and volunteers, mostly based in Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro City. The organization has been in existence since 2010 with advocacies focusing on nature and nurture.

ROTA Philippines, Inc. started with “nature” programs on tree growing and waste management, later evolving to include “nurture” programs on health and education. The organization also actively participates in disaster response and fund-raising for children with medical needs. They promote adventure, enjoyment, reforestation and safety. They welcome new members who are interested in their nurturenature related outdoor activities.

Meanwhile, Green Hand is an Indahag-based group which is promoting gardening in schools. They are trying to replicate their project to other schools and barangays as well.

These ten youth groups have bested other organizations in Mindanao, proving that the Filipino youth have what it takes to solve different problems of society. All of them are composed of at least 15 members, more than half of which are between 15 to 30 yeas old.

The entries will be judged based on the following criteria: impact of project entry on stakeholders, harnessing the spirit of volunteerism and citizenship, creativity and innovation, and sustainability and effective use of resources.

TAYO is the Philippines’ only award giving body that recognizes and supports the outstanding contributions of youth organizations to the country. Since it started in 2002, TAYO Awards Foundation, Inc. has successfully established itself as the country’s only award giving body that recognizes and supports the outstanding contributions of youth organizations to the country. To date, more than a thousand youth organizations have joined the search and are now part of the growing network of the youth foundation.

TAYO Awards Foundation, Inc., the National Youth Commission and Senator Paolo Benigno Aquino IV organize the search. It is presented by The Coca-cola Foundation Philippines and sponsored by the Philippine Airlines, Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Smart Communications, Inc., SM Cares Foundation, Lenovo Philippines, Pagcor and Jolllibee.

Apart from the prestigious recognition, the winning organizations will receive an especially commissioned trophy sculpted by Toym de Leon Imao and a grant of P50,000 intended to fund new projects or continue their long term programs.

IT’s not just on November 1 and 2 that Catholics remember the dead. From November 1 to November 8, Catholics believe that anyone who consistently visits the cemetery each day and pray for his loved ones’ souls to go to heaven will gain indulgence. So what exactly is an indulgence?

Indulgence is the remission before God of the temporal punishment due for sins which are lesser in magnitude. Temporal punishment will be given to a person after death through purgatory. But in life, he may forego with the temporal punishment

by works of mercy and charity as well as by prayer and the various practices of penance. That is indulgence.

Indulgence comes in many forms and one of that can be practiced between November 1 to 8 by the actions that I have indicated earlier. If we Filipinos cannot go to our home provinces this November, there is usually a chapel in each cemetery or memorial park in the country where Catholics stop to pray and earn their indulgences.

But the practice of remembering the dead extends beyond November

8. It is during the whole month that the Church meditates on the communion of souls which links the faithful who have already reached heaven, the faithful departed who are still expiating their sins in purgatory and the pilgrim faithful here on earth.

Throughout November, the Church remembers the faithful departed. This remembrance is expressed not only in public and private prayers but especially in the offering of the holy sacrifice of the Mass for the repose of souls.

Throughout November, the Church prays for all

The power behind your words is volatile, and you may find yourself going to extremes in order to get your point across. Be careful about making promises you can’t fulfill. It could be that you’re so adamant about your point of view that you make up hyperbolic situations just to get your ideas across.

Be careful about releasing all this energy at once, even though you may not seem to have a choice.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - It could be that you feel a bit of pressure today to start or create something that you aren’t quite ready for, Taurus. There is hesitation on your part that indicates you should take it slowly and learn more of the facts before you jump into the fray. Position yourself in such a way that you take control of the situation rather than become a victim of it.

If so, consider the possibility that you simply aren’t challenging yourself enough. Remember that you’re responsible for lighting your own fire. You have the perfect opportunity to get something started today, so go for it. Feel free to get other people to help.

LEO (July 23 – August 22) - People are apt to try to hit you square on the head with their ideas and thoughts today, Leo, so be ready for the onslaught of information that may come your way. There’s a distinct advantage to listening to the whole spiel before you react with your own facts and emotions. The problem is that you’re going to be tempted to argue instead of calmly resolve the matter.

“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.” “O Lord God omnipotent, I beseech Thee by the Precious Blood, which Thy divine Son Jesus shed in the Garden, deliver the souls in purgatory, and especially that one which is the most forsaken of all, and bring it into Thy glory, where it may praise and bless Thee for ever.

Amen.”

who are in the “fires” of purgatory, waiting for the day when they will join the company of the saints in heaven. The celebration of Mass is the highest means the Church can provide for charity for the dead but we can also relieve their sufferings through our personal prayers and penances. We can also help the souls in purgatory by doing acts and prayers that have indulgences attached to them. See, it’s not just us who will earn indulgence, it’s the dead as well.

S ome of t he more popular prayers for the dead are the following:

The Chameleon

S p ec i a l G o s pel of the day:John16:29-33Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: Matthew 13:1416-And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

This is the reason of Jesus why He used proverb or parables in His preaching. On the other hand, in our Gospel we can notice that the disciples of Jesus said that Christ speaks to them plainly and clearly. The indication of this is our God communicates to us in many ways, in direct way and indirect way.

This is our challenge if we can “recognize God

in our daily lives.” In our Gospel, it is clearly emphasized that Christ knows everything and because of this, “we cannot hide ourselves from God.” Hebrews 4:13-Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

This is the truth, if we can “hide” from human eyes but in the eyes of God, no one can escape: Printing paid by: Neneth - Bobong Balino- Dr. Edith, PhDTony Jordan - CDO.

God loves you!!!

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - Anchor yourself in practical matters before you try to prove your point to others. There’s a great deal of primal energy rising within you today and searching for some sort of outlet. Be aware of overextending yourself when it comes to issues of the mind. You may be so anxious to prove your point that you end up losing sight of the reality of the situation.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - Don’t take no for an answer today, Libra.

Know what you believe in and stick with it. There’s a distinct advantage to holding true to your inner nature. Don’t let others throw you off course with their views on how things should be done. Be confident and don’t worry about taking things over the top.

There’s no such thing as excess today. “The more the merrier” should be your motto.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - Be a pioneer thinker today, Scorpio.

There’s a noble courage in your thoughts, so don’t let this quality go to waste.

You will be surprised at how cutting edge you can be when you put your mind to it. Take a walk by yourself and contemplate the next major move that you’d like to make in your life. Feel free to brainstorm bold ways to execute this plan.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - Be aggressive and forceful when it comes to exerting your will, Sagittarius. Let others know that you won’t be a pushover. Your opinions are extremely important, and they need to be heard by the people who matter the most. Have faith that whatever you say has the power to come true, especially when you enlist the help of those around you.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - Today may be one of those days in which you come to a four-way stop and no one knows whose turn it is. Don’t sit and wait for everyone else to go first, Capricorn. If you know it’s your turn, be bold and make your move. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to signal others that you’re going ahead. People might not be used to you taking such an aggressive role.
