Nation of 100-million prays for Pacquiao T "I am proof of God's power to create something from nothing."

his statement made by Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao in an interview with American TV host Katie Couric touched off a renewed Pacquiao-mania not only in the deeplyreligious Philippines but also in conservative America and other Christian nations like Mexico.

Religious groups immediately identified themselves with Manny Pacquiao, the man of God, who in another interview said: "I will say this: The Lord, my God that I'm serving, will deliver him into my hands on May 2."

In Davao City, Phil-

ippines, where the City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte is a close friend of the Filipino boxing icon, religious leader Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy will dedicate May 3 as a Day of Prayer for Pacquiao's success.

"The Kingdom Nation of 6-million will pray for Manny Pacquiao on May

3," said Quiboloy, also a friend of Pacquiao who was among the first religious leaders who contributed to the boxing icon's religious re-awakening.

While the fight will be nighttime of May 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada, it will be seen in the Philippines morning of May 3, Sunday, a day when most Filipinos would be in church.

"This is no longer just a boxing match. This is a celebration of God's power to lift up his sons and daughters who believe in Him,' said Pastor Quiboloy on Friday when he celebrated his 64th birthday in the sprawling

public service.”

In news reports, several employees of the GMA Network in Cebu and Cagayan de Oro were surprised to receive notices of their separation from the company without any advanced notice.

There is no exact data as to how many of the employees lost their jobs but in reports, the number ranges from 80 to 100.

In its official statement GMA said the move is a “strategic streamlining being undertaken by the Network is geared towards increasing ratings and revenues of all of its regional stations for more efficient operations.”

“We are not closing down any regional station. Pend-

ing completion of the study and recommendation of the Regional TV Review Committee, all the existing regional stations other than Cebu, Iloilo, Davao and Dagupan will be continued as satellite selling stations,” said GMA. GMA also said that “(t) hough some regional programs in the morning and afternoon were cancelled, the afternoon news programs of Cebu, Iloilo, Davao and Dagupan remain and will be further strengthened.”

In Davao City, morning show Una Ka Bai aired its last show Friday but afternoon news program Saksi still aired afternoon of Monday.

The network also said that “(a)s mentioned in our

Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound in Davao City.

At the back of the KJC compound is a massive structure called the King Dome which could seat 65,000 people which Quib oloy hop es would b e opened in 2016 with a Manny Pacquiao fight.

Religious leaders who have b e e n supp or t i ng Manny Pacquiao are also holding hands in prayer for the Filipino boxing icon's victory.

"Manny's success will have a deep impact on the religiosity of people," said Pastor Kino Natividad, one of the closest religious leaders to the Filipino

boxing icon.

Even in America, deeply religious Americans are rooting for Manny Pacquiao and have even went to as far as calling the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight as a battle between "Good and Evil."

It is a label which the May weather camp has protested.

But the deeply religious could not be dissuaded from making labelling the fight as such insisting that while Pacquiao invokes the name of God in everything he does, Mayweather has always bragged about his money even calling himself as Floyd "Money"

Mayweather.

Actor James Caviezel, who played the role of Jesus Christ in the movie Passion of Christ and who visited Pacquiao at the Wild Card Gym on April 1, told the Filipino boxing icon "You will prevail in this fight because you are a man of God." Prayers, they say, can move mountains.

Prayers could just as well help believers win very difficult and dangerous boxing bouts.

On May 2, millions of Prayer Warriors will join Manny Pacquiao in the toughest and deeply symbolic fight of his life.

earlier statement, all affected personnel will be offered severance packages.”

It also said that “this undertaking is not connected to the impending talks with Mr. Ramon S. Ang” who reportedly bought 30 percent of the network last year.

In a February 9 post in its website this year, GMA claims to be the “No.1 station in the country”, while in a November 14 post last year said “(l)eading broadcast company GMA Network (GMA) reported a net income of P422 million in Q3 2014, up 66 percent versus the previous quarter.”

But Tupas said “strategic streamlining” are “sweet words for business as usual for the company at the peril

of its workers.”

He said “satellite selling stations” is “marketing jargon for profit-only venture of the network, which completely disregards media’s supposed social contract in society, its obligation to serve the public interest before profit.”

“It raises many questions about how media owners undermine and circumvent labors laws to serve their corporate interests, devalue employees who are mostly journalists, and put the media’s role in a democracy in total jeopardy,” said Tupas.

Tupas said that “regional stations play a crucial role in the delivery of information relevant to the communities where they are located.”

“(B)ut just because they are deemed unprofitable, these stations are now being closed.”

He said that “in a country touted as one of the world’s most dangerous place for journalists to work, what the profit-oriented network is doing only worsens the situation of journalists, who are not only being killed by bullets but also by the ruthless exploitation and oppression by corporate media owners.”

Tupas “call(s) on all journalists, media workers and citizens to unite and fight this latest onslaught on journalists’ rights, which is also an attack on press freedom and the people’s right to know.”(davaotoday.com)

Journalists outraged over pre-Labor Day “termination” of TV employees DAVAO City – A local chapter of a journalist group said it is outraged over the termination of around 200 employees of a television network a little over a week before the commemoration of the International Labor Day. Jefry Tupas, chairperson of the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines Davao City Chapter, said the GMA Network’s preLabor Day termination of its regional station employees “shows the shocking truth about media organizations controlled by capitalists who consider journalism more of a business enterprise than a

Exempt Senior Citizens from paying passenger terminal fees Senior citizens should be granted exemption from paying passenger terminal fees for air and sea travels.

We welcome HB 4697 because it aims to provide a twenty percent (20%) discount on all terminal fees in airports, sea ports and bus or vehicle terminal for senior citizens.

The bill seeks to amend further Section 4 (a) of Republic Act No. 7432, as amended by Republic Act No. 9994, otherwise known as the “Expanded Senior citizens Act of 2010.”

I am old-fashioned. Since many years, I love collecting old magazine and news paper clippings. Can you imagine how my office looks like? Anyway, in a very old issue of PHILADELPHIA NEWS columnist Larry Fields confessed: “I lead a life of wine, women and song (by the way, a wonderful waltz of Johann Strauss!)

- it’s cheaper than petrol, food and rent!” Mmmhhh....

Some marriages are made in heaven. You know some?

I do. The best of the rest are down-to-earth. Maybe also yours? I was blessed and happy celebrating my 32th wedding anniversary last March 2015... .

Maybe you remember this: “Then the prince swept the lovely young maiden into his arms and carried her home to his castle. And they live happily ever after!” Indeed, they did. Meanwhile, I met several couples, who

Editorial Moreover, the inclusion of passenger terminal fees from the list of exemptions can help bolster tourism all over the country by promoting discounted local travel to senior citizens.

The measure would surely help the economic status of senior citizens while promoting local tourism.

Under the latest amendatory law (RA 9994), senior citizens are granted 20%

discount on actual and advanced booking transportation fares for domestic air transport and sea shipping vessels and the like..

Passenger terminal fees however, are not included.

Most, if not all domestic airports do not give a 20% discount on passenger terminal fees for senior citizens.

In fact, in a strict interpretation of the amended law, the Office of Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC) Opinion 86, series of 2011 even declared that

Happily (N)ever after

would say: happily never after!

What I would like to see is an autonomous in home affairs study of all these title of nobility bearers seven years after their happilyever-after marriages. or even earlier, because the so-called darned and tricky seventh marriage year could be even the first one already.

The truth is that life isn’t made up of the continual highs found in the initial stages of courtship.

Of course, flirting is fun and a wide groove existing.

But after a while our system needs a rest. Unanimously we’re in the second stage sooner or later and our marriage life needs badly a new outside coating.

All of a sudden, the partner prefers day and night watching all the sports channels, falls asleep while you’re revealing your innermost secrets and even

forgets the anniversary for the first or even second time . Just bear in mind: You’ve won each other’s acceptance and sometimes even feelings terrible gloomy. This acceptance shouldn’t be undervalued.

Even we see a house that has to be cleaned, many other things have to be organized, and the partner, who looks as fatigued and bored as you feel. Logical

the 20% discount accorded to senior citizens under the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010 is not applicable to passenger terminal fees.

Under HB 4697 inserts the following provision to Section 4 of RA 7432, as amended by RA 9994, or the “Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010” or the list of exemptions: “xxxxx (10) on the terminal fees for all domestic and international air transport services and sea transport vessels, bus and vehicular transport services, and the like.

And suddenly, we experienced the third stage and learned, why it’s worth the ups and downs. Maybe we men don’t mention any more, how incredible she looks, but we enjoy bleating and grousing at her spending innumerable hours putting her together. But then, suddenly, we men are to unload the garbage without being asked for.

Although no marriage is continually blissful - it can be pretty good most of the time. When we lasted through arguments, money worries, and kid’s problems or slowly but surely coming up mid-life crises, we should face reality that our relationship is not always a big day celebration.

It’s because the fundamental reason for a marriage has outlasted the craSee doring, page A11

Mercy: What a Gift Think a Minute…

There’s a story about a very poor family who inherited $100,000. The mother knew this was their only chance to buy a nice little house and a better life. The daughter saw the money as her only chance to go to medical school and become a doctor. But the older brother wanted the $100,000 to start a business with his friend. He promised his mother and sister that he would soon pay back the money.

Well, the mother decided to give her son the one chance he needed to start a business and become successful. But just a few days later, that son’s business friend took all the money

and ran. That family’s only hope for a better life was completely gone.

You can imagine how terribly guilty the son felt.

His sister was so angry she hated him for what he had done. She called him the worst names she could think

of. But her mother stopped her and said to her daughter: “Don’t you know that the time to love somebody is not just when they’re doing well. That’s not real love.

Real love is loving someone when they’re at their worst and failed. When they can’t believe in themselves. It’s now that your brother needs our love and acceptance the most! And if you haven’t learned that, then you haven’t learned anything!”

That’s the kind of love and mercy God has given you and me. There’s no possible way we can ever earn or deserve God’s love and forgiveness. We’re like the soldier in Napolean’s army who was being punished for

a crime he had done. His mother begged the great leader Napolean for mercy on her son. Napolean said: “Woman, your son does not deserve mercy.” And the mother answered: “I know, sir. If he deserved it, then it would not be mercy.”

You see, it’s God’s mercy and love that Jesus Christ died to give us. Because He knows it’s our only hope for a better life both now, and after we die. So won’t you ask Jesus right now for His gift of mercy and new life?

Just ask Him to forgive you for all your wrongs in the past, and to help you start changing with Him in charge of your life today, and every day.

More graft raps readied against Mayor Moreno Bukidnon • Camiguin • Lanao del Norte • Lanao del Sur • Misamis Occidental • Misamis Oriental

XJ Romulado, and Northern Mindanao Medical Center Director Jose Chan immediately after the said Senate Committee approved Rodriguez’ House Bill 31 which increases the bed capacity of the Northern Mindanao Medical Center from 300 to 600 beds.

CAGAYAN de Oro City-The City Council here is filing graft cases against incumbent City Mayor Oscar Moreno for the alleged purchase of lots without the approval of the local august body.

City Councilor Prexy Elipe, chair of the city council committee on finance, ways and means, on Monday did not disclose the amount involved although he hinted that Moreno had purchased a lot for a school site worth millions of pesos without the knowledge of the City Council.

He said that Moreno reportedly transferred the “Deed of Sale” immediately to the School Division to make it appear that the local School Division purchased the lot.

“We are now collating evidences about this trans-

action in preparation for the filing of the graft case against Moreno,” Elipe said.

According to Elipe, the city mayor reportedly used the city’s Special Education Fund (SEF) in the purchase of the questionable lots and the construction of the school building.

“The city council wrote a letter to Moreno to inquire on the source of the fund in the acquisition of the lot. However, the city mayor only replied that that the City Council has no business asking about the transaction,” Elipe said.

While there is a provision that the city executive can disburse the SEF without the approval of the City Council, the city executive cannot enter into a contract without the approval of the City Council, Elipe said.

He said that the process involving the purchase of lots by the city government requires an approval from the City Council, which the

City Mayor clearly violated.

Elipe said that the City Mayor has given the City Council no option other than filing an appropriate graft charge with the graft court involving the acquisition of the lots without the consent of the City Council.

Elipe erred On one hand, City Information Officer Maricel Rivera said Councilor President Elipe erred in saying that the purchase of lots by the city government from the Special Education Fund needs to be approved by the City Council.

Rivera said that the Special Education Fund was specifically created by Republic Act (RA) 5447 for local governments to utilize it without necessary legislation.

Culled from one percent of the real property tax of the local government unit (LGU), the Special Education Fund is intended speSee raps, page A11

Butuan, Agnor town readied for K-12 classroom deficiency

By PAT SAMONTE Regional Editor Caraga

BUTUAN City – Agusan del Norte First District Rep. Lawrence Lemuel Fortun has focused his attention to narrow down classroom deficiency here and in Las Nieves town this year in time for K-12 implementation.

In response to K-12’s full implementation, Fortun has

turned over several newlybuilt classroom buildings in his district in recent months.

As cited in the Official Gazette, data showed that of 7,914 public high schools, the Department of Education (DepED) has identified 5,020 as potential senior high schools expected to accommodate 1.6 million to 2.2 million students. The remaining 800,000 to one million students are ex-

pected to go to non-DepED providers such as private high schools, state universities and colleges (SUCs), and local universities and colleges (LUCs) offering senior high schools.

The DepED expects 1.2 million students from public high schools to enter Grade 11 in 2016 and 2017.

The retention of students in most high school institutions calls for the need to

increase educational infrastructure facilities. Fortun said this would require the opening of a sizable number of classroom buildings as a long-term support to elevating education as well as immediate response to inevitable demands brought

by K-12 implementation.

On top of this, the Congress is also making effort to increase allocation for hiring of new teachers. Col-

Summer Reading Camp: An outdoor intervention for Kids

By Phoebe W. Taruc Teacher III/ City Central School

Summer is a time every kid is looking forward to after ten months of learning in the school. It’s a time for vacation, recreation and creative explorations, or just a time to relax for two months.

However, not everybody experiences enjoyable summer as others do.

Some just stay idly in their homes, watch televisions, or simply interact with gadgets, not gaining something worthwhile.

Pupils with reading deficiencies become more inactive with reading because not all parents provide their kids with opportunities to develop the skill at home. Hence stagnation occurs.

To address the problem and to bridge the gap between the end and beginning of school year, the Summer reading Camp has been institutionalized in. schools. Recognizing reading as an essential tool for learning, public schools are directed to conduct such activity during summer. This program aims not only to improve slow readers’ reading capability and nurture their love for reading, but also prevent possible summer loss due to non-exposure to reading activities and materials which kids can engross during vacation.

Likewise, advanced readers are equally afforded

with various learning opportunities that can enrich their comprehension which is the focus of the said initiative. All subject areas are involved, making it an integrated approach to teaching and learning.

Unlike the usual school set-up which takes place within the confines of the four corners of the classro om, enjoyable mind-boggling outdoor activities await learners such as plays, games, videos, and various literary exercises, as this is a reading camp.

This year, City Central School, the biggest elementary school in the division of Cagayan de Oro City will hold its Summer Reading Camp on May 4-8, 2015 inside the campus. This years theme, “ Imagine, Discover. Empower” sums up what reading can do: allow children to imagine opportunities that bring them to greater heights; discover new insights and explore endless possibilities; and empower them to be better citizens.

Teachers who participate in this event will be granted service credits as this is yet a vacation time which they could have spent with their families.

Parents are encouraged to let their children join the affair and turn their summer into a meaningful learning experience.

The Importance of Home Visitations

By Sheilla B. Diango Teacher – I Laguindingan National High School

Teachers have more responsibilities aside from teaching students how to count, write or read. More than that, they are assigned to observe the behaviour of students, and from that, strategized a best method on how to instill knowledge and encourage them to appreciate learning.

There are times, however, that classroom interaction is not enough to make students appreciate the beauty of knowledge.

Students fail, make a number of absences and more saddening than that, they neglect to go to school again.

Thus, it is important that teachers should conduct home visitations.

There are many possible goals for these home visits including: bridging cultural barriers, reporting on academic progress, en-

listing parental support to increase academic achievement, and giving parents the tools to do so.

This meeting is important because it helps the parent and student become acquainted with the teacher in a non-intimidating way. This visit can also help teachers find out about the needs and interests of individual students and have a better understanding of the various strengths and challenges faced by each student, for them to meet the student and their family in a relaxed setting.

Educating youngsters involved understanding the life that they live and how they grow as a person in entirety. It takes so much time and patience, but it is significant for them to be taught easily and effectively.

Develop a Reading Hobby

By Barbara C. Nayve – Teacher II Mat-i National High School Mat-i, Claveria, Misamis Oriental

Reading is an adventure of mind; it is giving a break from the daily routines which provide learning experiences, the hobby that gives opportunity for being quiet, having a peaceful time alone and is the perfect way to relax after a busy day and various pressures of the real world.

It is an activity that can be enjoyed anytime and anywhere according to Wawashane, 2012.

A reading hobby can keep the mind sharp and continually absorb knowledge. It is a way of learning and gaining new insights or inputs to the readers either the material you read is a fiction or not. There

are no definite genres to choose from, nothing definite can be said as long as it catches attention like light novels and detective stories to philosophical and scientific works, either old or modern literature deserves special attention.

So, there is a need to read and appreciate different reading materials.

Reading gives an idea of a pleasant past time but many would, instead prefer to hang out in groups at shopping malls, watch movies, play video games or chat over internet chatrooms. These are very expensive activities but many people especially teenagers are doing these kind of recreation instead

of staying in a quiet place and read. So, how many people do actually read?

How many students do we find spending time in libraries? It’s sad to say that in today’s generation we seldom find people who value or give importance on reading as a hobby; in fact, it is a good habit that empowers the reader with all kinds of information and facts as emphasized

by Yeop, 2010.

It is a mere fact that reading had been taught since kindergarten for the purpose of understanding and interpreting the written message correctly.

Simple, isn’t it? Then as the child grows older he must develop this reading skill as one of his day to day routines. There is a need for teacher-parent partnership to nurture

this skill to the kids at an early age. Parents have to play a crucial role in developing the minds of the young and nurturing the READING habit that was cultivated at a young age.

As an English teacher, one of the least mastered skills of my students is reading comprehension.

I think their reading skill is not fully developed at an early stage.

That’s why I recommend reading hobby for them to comprehend any reading materials.

Make it a habit by doing it even 10-15 minutes a day. Spend your leisure time in reading. It would bring you anywhere as a traveller travels to any part of the world, since it is an adventure of mind.

ON TV, we hear of Scandal’s Olivia Pope and the Leverage team specializing with crisis management to clients who can exceptionally afford to pay them. These clients, no matter how rich they are, get entangled by crises which they cannot squirm away with unless they run to such prestigious firms run by Pope or the Leverage team. But then again, this is television fiction although of course we know that lobbyists in Washington, DC and New York and Fortune 500 corporations deal with crisis management day-today in real life.

I have brushed past Jerome Soldevilla in countless interviews and in media events in the past but it was just last Thursday when I became seriously quiet and sat down on his lecture about crisis management. Here’s the guy who is the local version of Olivia Pope, I thought, while Mr. Soldevilla continued speaking with a group of esteemed HR managers, all from the City by the Bay. And so here are some of the salient points of his lecture that struck me. According to Mr. Soldevilla, an

individual or a company’s credibility depends largely on the perception of its targeted market. Thus, it is important from the start that an entity should ensure everything that society would be impressed by its day-to-day existence and operations. Once a company’s reputation is built and sustained, it will have a smooth running all along.

The only worry that a CEO should have is a crisis.

Mr. Soldevilla said that if a crisis is not handled properly, it can greatly affect an organization’s profitability or worse, the ability to operate. That’s why that in any crisis event, there should someone to be designated

Jerome further said that the company must record its own press conference or media statement interviews for they could easily be retrieved for clarifications.

Then Jerome went on saying that the chemistry of effective communication is the message, the messenger, the manner the message is conveyed and the timing.

No comment means you’re guilty.” Then Jerome has this advice to PR spinsters and corporate communications managers – never call a crisis by its specific incident because the media and the public will take note of that and will instigate them to discuss the subject more using the specific incident (for instance #corruption or #oil_spill or #crash or #rape_accusation, etc.).

Jerome suggested instead to use the word “incident”
