Opens 1st Certified Store in Mindanao:
Building on the Future, with a heart L EGO opened its 6th Certified Store in Centrio Mall, Cagayan de Oro City last Saturday, 01 April 2017. A LEGO Certified Store has a Pick-a-Brick wall (a custom-built fixture where shoppers can hand-pick the brick they need); fully assembled LEGO sets; and a play area in the middle of the store. It is also the global toymaker’s first Certified Store in Mindanao. “The LEGO brand goes beyond being one of the top global toymakers,
we are a beloved builder of childhood fantasies,” said LEGO Executive Sharlene Ortiga. “We aim to inspire and engage the world’s builders by injecting fun into play.” LEGO Centrio is the fifth in a series of stores that will open from Manila to Davao in the country under the company’s “Better With Every Brick” campaign. LEGO has partnered with UNICEF Philippines to work together to help build the first National Center for Children with Disabilities at the Philippine General
Hospital. UNICEF is the United Nations agency which promotes children’s welfare by protecting and defending the rights of children across 190 countries and regions. “This particular partnership with UNICEF Philippines resonates well with this dream to extend the opportunity to help more children by bringing the National Center for Children with Disabilities to reality,” Ms. Ortiga added. To support UNICEF’s program, a portion of the sales at LEGO Certified Stores across the country will help build the Center’s construction. For a minimum single receipt purchase of P3,
999.75, on any LEGO item from the LEGO Certified Store Centrio from April 1-30, 2017, P1, 000 of the sale proceeds will go to UNICEF to help build the Center. In addition, LEGO customers can also buy LEGO polybags to support the fundraising campaign for the National Center for Children with Disabilities with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the UNICEF Project. Each collectible bag features four different designs for only P100 each and comes from the LEGO Ninjago, LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Friends and LEGO Duplo lines. As part of the opening rites for the LEGO Centrio Store, a symbolic Youngest Lego Builder reaches for his dreams. (photo by Mike Baños, NPN) lego/PAGE 10
CDO female programmers push for limelight Story and Photo by MARK FRANCISCO
FOR several years now, female computer programmers have taken a backseat.
“One of the inspiring moments i experienced during the Kaamulan is witnessing the preservation of the heritage and tradition of the seven Hill Tribes of Bukidnon; I witnessed the richness of the tribes-people’s heritage and tradition, the historical culture passed from generations to generations. These ethnic cultures and heritage were translated into a thanksgiving, and that is the gathering.” photo by clement dampal
computer programmers in Northern Mindanao As Syntactics web are women. assistant engineering lead Maandig wants the Jhai Maandig would put percentage to rise equally at 50 percent. “After it, only 20 percent of the all, we have the same technical capabilities as the men. We receive the same training, we absorb the same learnings.” It is in this premise that Syntactics Pink was born. Syntactics Pink is the corporate social responsibility of the leading IT solutions provider in this part of the country. But beyond CSR, Syntactics Pink’s concern is really to entice graduating female students taking up
Information Technology and Computer Science in college to practice what they have learned in school by employing themselves as computer programmers. “It’s a sad truth that many female IT graduates contend themselves with being call center agents and other jobs. They have not practiced what they have learned – HTML and CSS coding, etc.,” Maandig said. It’s no coincidence that Syntactics Pink was started because the company’s CEO is a woman.

Tumapon, the former Vice President for Internationalization and currently Professorial lecturer Liceo de Cagayan University Graduate School, related to Dr. Montero how Liceo begins its MD freshman proper by June, 2017. “It took two years to receive the gosignal of the CHED, to start in June,” said Dr. Tumapon. “St. Luke has given their MD a flavor ---molecular medicine.

Thus they graduate with MD-MBA (in Public Health). “ Dr. Tumapon expressed her willingness to lend her willing ear, hand and mind to help realize the project. “In the Filipino setting, there are gatekeepers. Your enthusiasm will help open the gates,” she noted. Earlier last March 15-16, 2017, MMM’s Eyesight 20/20 Optometric mission team headed by Dr. Chris Buniel, and the Eyesight Board of Cagayan de Oro headed by Carlo Romero, MD and Dr. Vic Cinco and the Rotary Club was hosted by the J.R.

local optometrists/ ophthalmologist and Rotarians. Our MMM flagship Eyesight 20/20 project chaired by Dr. Chris Buniel, President of Optometric Association of the Philippines, readily arranged for the 300 folks who availed of the newly purchased and framed eyeglasses. They were veterans, school children, indigents including the indigenous Badjao tribe,” noted Dr. Montero. “The 300 new reading eyeglasses we afforded the most deserving veterans, children and indigents including the Badjao tribe was quite exhilarating as shown on their grateful smiles,” said Dr. Montero. “Those that needed cataract surgery were immediately referred to Dr. Romero’s care. Yes, we are most grateful to all the kindhearted volunteers.” Last March 17, 2017, also witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding among three entities: MMM, CdeO City Hospital, CdeO
Eyesight Board by Mayor Moreno and Dr. Montero. “On my return to Metro Manila, I met with Rotarians to discuss the launching of a future MMM Diabetes Care project in the Philippines, and with colleague surgeon friend, MMM Advisor Dr. Ike Ona, former Secretary of Health and founder of the National Kidney Transplant Institute.” With the latter initiative, Dr. Montero is eyeing a potential Kidney Dialysis MMM 6th sustainable project. Montero Medical Missions was created to provide medical missions and create sustainable healthcare projects for physicians and allied health professionals with international roots; to share blessings and healthcare with their fellow countrymen Montero Medical Missions (MMM) is a non-profit, 501[c][3] tax-exempt status, through which belief in God is expressed in the heart of the actions and reflected in the deeds of its members. “We are dedicated to the

DISPLAY OF FAITH Trust or reliance? What means faith for you? To say it clearly: without faith we are really nothing. Faith is belief; believe in us, beliefs in our works, talents and personalities. We also should believe in our parents or better, in the whole family including the black sheep, who can be found every where. We should also believe in our friends, even sometimes it seems to become a very difficult task. A friend? A real friend? An expatriate friend...? Without faith, we will be reaching the rock bottom. Please don’t say, it’s a likely story. The German poet Johann Christian Friedrich von Schiller (17591815) mentioned in his drama “Maria Stuart”: “Even the word might be dead, but faith keeps it alive.” Yes, I can live with this. Faith and hope belongs together. In his book “Through the Valley of the Kwai”, Scottish officer Ernest Gordon wrote of his years as a prisoner of World War II. The 6’2’’ man suffered from malaria, diphteria, typhoid, beriberi and jungle ulcers. Many circumstances quickly plunged his weight to less than 100 pounds. Lying in the dirt of the death house, he waited to die. But every day, a fellow prisoner came to wash his wounds and to encourage him to eat parts of his own rations. As this fellow prisoner nursed Ernest back to health,
he talked with the H ave M y Say agnostic Scotsman of his own strong faith in God and showed him that, even in the midst of suffering - there is hope - and faith! Faith is indeed Klaus Doring tantamount to convincing and conviction. Richard Wagner, a German classical composer and poet found the following lyric: “Blessed are those people, who know how to life their life in humility and faith!” Well, let’s even continue believing in our government. Faithful hope is loyal, reliable, exact and honorable. Faith looks beyond the transient life with hope for all eternity. The hope we read in scripture is not a wishy-washy optimism. First and second Chapter of Thessalonians, for example, give encouragements to all Christians, who have been undergoing persecution for their faith. And, Corinthians 13:2 says: “If I have faith it can move mountains!” +++ Email: doringklaus@gmail.com or follow me in Facebook, Linkedin or Twitter or visit www.germanexpatinthephilippines.blogspot.com or www.klausdoringsclassicalmusic.blogspot.com .

T
he Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) gave skills training to family members of Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) personnel who were killed in the line of duty. TESDA Director General, Secretary Guiling “Gene” Mamondiong said that the skills training is part of the memorandum of agreement (MOA) signed among government

The first tranche of the SFA shall immediately be given to legitimate KIA/KIPO and WIA/ WIPO beneficiaries amounting to P250,000 and P100,000
respectively. The second SFA tranche, amounting to P250,000 for KIA/ KIPO and P150,000 for WIA/WIPO, will be released to beneficiaries upon their completion of the financial literacy training by the BSP, entrepreneurship training from the DTI, and skills training at
TESDA. The government also conducted the Special Skills Training for AFP and PNP Battle Casualties and Dependents at the 1st Division (Tabak) Headquarters, Upper Pulacan, Zamboanga del Sur last March 27-29 for the immediate release of financial assistance.

Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) executives and employees formally welcomed Dr. Francisco T. Duque III, former chairman of the Civil Service Commission (CSC), as the pension fund’s new chairman in ceremonies held in GSIS Head Office in Pasay City. In his message, Duque said he considers it a privilege to serve the government again, particularly in GSIS, recounting how he personally witnessed its transformation over the last six years.

The nominee must also be free from any criminal liabilities, belongs to a household that is at least 85% compliant to all the program conditionalities, and a recognized role model within his household and community. Alfredo’s wife left the family when their eldest was only 5 years old. Since then, he raised his children and provided for their needs through
various works in a local mill, then as habal-habal driver and recently as motorela driver, a public local transport in Camiguin. Despite financial challenges and the emotional burden of being snubbed by his wife for many years, he inculcated good morals to his children and respect for others. To date, all of his children are regular students and of good moral character with academic merits. He also supports a niece and a nephew. His children, with his eldest being 16 years old, are very much supportive of him and are looking up to him as their role model. He also devoted time to community activities. He is a social role model among parent leaders, majority of which are women, of the Pantawid Pamilya. An active lay minister of the Roman Catholic Church here, Nahial is also a volunteer in disaster response, a president of the ParentsTeachers Association, and a volunteer for the projects of Kalahi-CIDSS NCDDP (Kapit Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan — Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of
Social Services -National Community—Driven Development Program) of DSWD. He also attended various trainings and seminars such as on Parent Effectiveness (PES) incorporating Empowerment through Reaffirmation of Paternal Abilities (ERPAT), DTI livelihood trainings, among others. During validation and interviews, Nahial displayed his capabilities in communication and in expressing his thoughts on positive discipline, on gender equality, on various laws relating to protecting the rights of children and women. Alex Abaladejo Jr of Negros Island Region settled the 1st RunnerUp post; Benny Binando of Region 2 (2nd Runner-Up); Concrado Achuela of Region 1 (3rd Runner-Up); and Martial Gepte Sr of Region 11 (4th Runner-Up). The Pantawid Pamilya is a national government’s intervention for poor families by investing in their children’s health and education. It also gives them access to livelihood opportunities in order to support them socio-economically.

check of P500,000.00 was turned over to Ms. Lotta Sylwander, UNICEF Representative in the Philippines. This amount is part of the P10-million target total for the Center’s construction. “UNICEF is lucky to be a partner of LEGO in the Philippines because as it happens, LEGO’s local distributor, Mr. Patrick Pesengco, has been a UNICEF partner these past many years,” Ms. Sylwander said in the sidelines of the store launch. “In 2016, Patrick and his wife Ross joined UNICEF on a visit to the Philippine General Hospital in an effort to address the issue of children living with disabilities.” Local estimates suggest there are some 5 million children aged 0-18 years old in the Philippines living with disabilities but could be higher. They are often more likely to be among the poorest members of the population, thus children with disabilities are among the most marginalized and excluded. “The Center aims to be a one-stop shop for children with all types of disabilities-be it vision, hearing, mobility or learning – so that they can get diagnosed, have the devices they need, and enjoy the therapy they require in this public hospital,” said Ms. Sylwander. “This model will be the first of many-when we do this quickly and succeed, the DOH will take it on so that other areas of the Philippines, including Mindanao, can enjoy the same services,” she added.

Ate Devon ang buong Pilipinas pag may out of town shows. Actually dito ko na nabuo yung confidence ko eh. I am beyond Thankful. I am proud to endorse MyPhone dahil ito po talaga ay tatak Pinoy” When asked if they aren’t afraid to be compared with other phone brands with bigger stars, Inyi Yruma says “Hindi naman, Dumaan na tayo diyan eh and for the record, MyPhone started that trend naman eh, we are grateful to our past endorsers that we worked with, they’ve all contributed to where is MyPhone now. but yun nga, iba na ang direction ng MyPhone, we’re now a multimedia company and we will focus more to digital platform. When I was tasked by Sir David to form a group, the first thing that I checked is how they communicate with their followers, and we are confident that our new ambassadors Hashtags Jon, Jimboy and Paulo, with Angelica Villaf lor and DJ Chacha, will do the same magic for MyPhone like Devon and Kyle.” Joining Devon Seron and Kyle Vergara are Hashtags Jon Lucas, Jimboy Martin and Paulo Angeles with Angelica Villaf lor, a 17 year-old talented girl who is famous in Facebook right now with her Vines videos, and the award winning DJ of MOR 101.9, DJ Chacha. According to MyPhone, aside from building more digital contents like AGILA Rewards, a lock screen app that rewards its android phone users in daily and weekly draws, and 1 million pesos on the grand draw that is extended until April 30, MyPhone will be very active too on on-ground events like mall shows and campus tours.

pioneers of the contact industry in Region 10, was an instant and eager listening ear to Maandig’s clamor. It was only in November 2016 – while Maandig was employed as the only woman among 18 programmers in the company – when Syntactics Pink was born. The idea was introduced to local IT practitioners during the GDG DevFest at the then Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST) Performing Arts Theater (PAT) in Cagayan de Oro City that month. The pitch was received with eagerness by female participants in the crowd which included students from MUST (now University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines), Xavier University, Capitol University and even selected USTP Senior High pupils. This initial wave of students were the first batch of Syntactics Pink disciples to appreciate more what they’ve been studying throughout their college lives. The first meetup that occurred last January garnered 35 participants. The female students had a gleeful time enjoying the whole day learning Python basics, UI/UX design, online marketing and how to pitch the perfect product. In fact, after the two-day workshop, the participants were able to produce three prototypes – a parking system, an interior design app and a platform to be used by breastfeeding moms. The next event for Syntactics Pink was last Saturday. A VR event, the entertaining activity was made for members to bond stronger so they could together open the eyes of fellow female students that the world of information technology in Northern Mindanao must not be dominated by men only.
