Paying OJTs possible, says DOLE exec

DAVAO City--The proposal of incoming Education Secretary Leonor Briones to pay on-the-job (OJOT) students for their service would be possible but guidelines should be put in place to prevent possible abuses on the part of the academe and companies, a labor official in Davao Region said Tuesday.

Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) 11 director Joffrey M. Suyao told MindaNews that they welcome any proposal that will further improve the internship program of the students while noting that there are government agencies like the labor office and other private companies who pay the OJTs for their service.

“All of these things are welcome. You have to review because this is for the improvement of the program and for the betterment of the students. Should paying OJTs become a policy, then that would be good because it will help our students also in the process. They will be earning while they are still studying,” he said.

But Suyao added such scheme is vulnerable to abuses that certain measures must be put in place to protect both the students and the companies.

Youth grouth slams DepEd, urges Briones to scrap K+12

By RUEL V. PELONE Managing Editor

THE College Editors Guild of the Philippines (CEGP) in Northern Mindanao yesterday slammed the Department of Education (DepED) for its failure to accommodate all aspiring Senior High School (SHS) students this school year.

In a statement, CEGPNMR Vice Chairperson Anjon Fredrick Mamunta urged incoming Education Secretary Leonor Briones to look into the flaws of the K+12, President Benigno

Aquino III signed into law Republic Act No. 10533 on May 15, 2013, otherwise known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 into law, more commonly known as the K-12 program.

“We denounce her previous statement during her latest press conference last June 6, the CEGP said, adding, “she [Briones] stressed her support to K-12, saying that the number of years in high school matters, yet did not even mentioned a single loophole on the said program.”

The CEGP said the K+12

only serves as an argument for private higher education institutions to increase tuition and other school fees, a clear manifestation of a highly commercialized education system ubn the country.

Not only the K+12 contradicts the Filipino youth’s constitutionally-guaranteed right to free public basic education, but also denied them access to higher education as mandated by law.

The CEGP said the education department failed to accommodate more SHS See YOUTH, page A7

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Only 160 out of 1,700 municipalities and cities nationwide have complied with an important provision of the 2009 Climate Change Act – formulating their own climate change mitigation action plan.

The catch – unlike the Solid Waste Management Act, there are no penalties for non-compliant local government units (LGUs).

Thus, it is the duty for Climate Change Commission Secretary Emmanuel L. de Guzman to convince hardheaded mayors to come up with their respective plans.

By the start of 2016, de Guzman and the meager staff of the Climate Change Commission began touring nationwide, tapping the academe and experts from non-government organizations (NGOs) to train noncompliant LGUs. In his visits here in Mindanao, Mr. de Guzman discovered that many small LGUs are hesitant to come up their own climate change mitigation action plans because they don’t have expertise in certain fields such as formulating a cost-benefit analysis for instance.

CHED set to continue reform agenda under Duterte admin

By Filane Mikee Z. Cervantes of pna

THE Commission on Higher Education (CHED) will continue rolling out its Higher Education Reform Agenda (HERA) under the incoming administration of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte.

“We will continue on the main things that we have been doing,” said CHED chairperson Patricia Licuanan, who will be heading the agency until 2018.

Licuanan highlighted the mile-

stones of the HERA over the past six years which were focused on access, quality, excellence, and efficiency.

Access to higher education has expanded through the strengthening of Student Financial Assistance Programs for lower income and disadvantaged groups, she noted.

Meanwhile, several measures to upgrade the quality of higher education include enhancing the programs offered, improving qualifications of faculty through development programs, and in-

creasing academe-industry linkages for updated labor market information.

Excellence, on the other hand, involves making higher education institutions “very competitive” and at par with international standards.

“We look around us and we see that our Asian neighbors are truly moving forward… we want to really be ahead of the pack or right there with everyone else,” said Licuanan.

“We partnered with top univer-

sities abroad in order to develop the capacity of the Philippine institutions to do cutting-edge research,” she added.

Aside from granting aids for research and development (R&D), there is also an existing program to confer higher education institutions (HEIs) with centers of excellence or development status.

Licuanan said rationalizing the public higher education system for greater efficiency is “compatible” with President-elect Duterte’s proposal of federalism.

“We try to bring regional higher education institutions together so that they will work in a more coordinated manner and raise their quality… Ostensibly, the reasons for that are so that you get out of imperial Manila and develop the regions,” said Licuanan.

She expressed confidence that the reforms on higher education will continue along the same lines, seeing that Duterte favored the K-12 program despite initial qualms about it. (PNA)

OWWA, PhilHealth team up for MEDplus DAVAO City––OWWA Administrator Rebecca J. Calzado and PhilHealth President and Chief Executive Officer Alexander A. Padilla signed last week a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the implementation of the Supplemental Medical Assistance Program for OFWs or MEDplus, a medical assistance program for OFWs that supplements the benefit provided by PhilHealth.

The MEDplus, approved for implementation by the OWWA Board of Trustees in September 2015, is a one-time financial assistance provided to active OWWA and PhilHealth members who are diagnosed with and subsequently hospitalized due to a dreaded disease whether in the Philippines or in their country of employment.

It matches the benefit granted by PhilHealth to its members under its case rate system but not to exceed fifty thousand pesos (P 50,000) per member.

News in Focus A3

High cost, poor quality of Internet ail ICT market THE Information and communication technology (ICT) services in the country remain one of the most expensive in the Asia-Pacific Region, according to the recent study conducted by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS). Worse, Internet speed is not proportional to the costs.

The PIDS said the problem is primarily caused by the lack of comprehensive policies on ICT development, which, in turn, results in unequal distribution of digital dividends or the development effects of ICT. The study, authored by PIDS Senior Fellows Jose Ramon Albert and Ramonette Serafica, and former PIDS Research Analyst Beverly T. Lumbera, asserts that there is a direct relationship between increased ICT access and economic growth. A World Bank study likewise concluded that for every 10-percent increase in high-speed Internet connection, economic growth increases by 1.3 percent.

“ICT, especially the Internet, promotes inclusion. Micro and small firms can connect with potential buyers in another country through Internet and social media. They can also gain knowledge and skills to trust a new business partner based on information gained from the Internet,” the PIDS paper stated.

Thus, the authors argue that for the Philippines to sustain its good economic performance and boost its growth, government must invest in building a reliable, accessible, and affordable ICT infrastructure. Maximizing the benefits from ICT, according to them, requires formulating and implementing policies that would boost ICT development, promote competition, and further interconnectedness.

According to the International Telecommunication Union’s ICT development index, the Philippines placed fifth among countries across Southeast Asia in terms of the number of people who have access to the Internet. Internet access or Internet penetration has grown the most in the last six years, from 9 percent in 2009 to 25 percent in 2010. By 2014, the Philippines is expected to have 40-percent Internet penetration.

The Philippines improved its performance ranking in the global ICT ranking from 105th in 2014 to 98th in 2015. This can be attributed to the increase in access to mobile phones and broadband subscription services. However, policymakers should look beyond widening access, the authors said.

Internet Report on Asia Pacific is at 2.8 megabits per second (Mbps), the second lowest in terms of average connection speed. The global average is 5.2 Mbps.

To maximize digital dividends, the authors urge policymakers to target ICT development, widen access, and promote competition and further interconnectedness.

“Part of ICT development should improve regulations regarding Internet exchanges. Telecommunication companies exact fees to let other

mindanaodailynews@gmail.com

companies pass through their physical networks; in turn, this racks up the costs of providing connection,” they explained.

The authors lamented the fact that despite the high cost paid by consumers for poor quality connection, there is little action from government.

Effective implementation of rules and regulations is also lacking; thus, telecommunication companies have gotten away with providing a lot less speed than advertised.

With the passage of the Philip-

pine Competition Act, the authors are hoping that these would give regulators more legal ammunition to address anticompetitive practices and bad performance, and hold telecommunication companies accountable.

“The responsibilities lies with the National Telecommunications Commission and the Department of Trade and Industry. They need to reform some regulations and rectify penalties that are no longer effective to prompt better competitive practices,” the paper suggested.

Other policies being monitored include the Data Privacy Act of 2012, which covers the protection of personal privacy and data, cybersecurity, and digital literacy. The paper noted that access is a good priority, but making sure access remains open and safe is equally critical.

The authors noted that the quality of the national Internet backbone is so bad that 70 percent of domestic Internet traffic runs through Hong Kong. The lack of a national broadband policy makes Internet services expensive yet

slow. Meanwhile, the foreign equity restriction of 40 percent dissuades capital and expertise from coming into the country to help improve the ICT sector.

In conclusion, the authors emphasized that the government and the private sector have to work together to address the bottlenecks that impede ICT development. ### If you wish to know more about this study, you may download the Policy Note here and the full Discussion Paper here.

By Fr. Shay Cullen PREDA Foundation

Young people by the thousands are dropping dead by consuming chemicals into their bodies to forget their problems or just to get an exciting high and overcome inhibition. A few weeks ago in an open air dance concert in Manila, another five people collapsed in the outdoor dance area and died on the spot or later in hospital from presumed drug overdose. Ecstasy and a powerful variety of marijuana and crystal meth are easily available. These young people were seemingly victims of the drug culture.

What a tragic loss of young lives and pain and suffering for their family and friends.

They could be your children or grandchildren, nephews or nieces- all are targets of the drug pushers and dealers. We cannot stand idly by wringing our hands helplessly. We must act and campaign for a drug-free society, not a society that tolerates, ignores, or as in some Northern hemisphere countries legalizes dangerous drugs.

Murdering drug pushers or denouncing them without evidence or a trial or accusing them before TV cameras is wrong. It is a violation of their rights. In that system anyone can accuse you or me and we could be shot without due process.

Any person accused is entitled by law to due process and a fair trial. Vigilante

killing of suspects without a trial is not a solution, it is murder. More pushers, drug lords and dealers will take their place, who would they be? If they are politicians with hit squads who kill suspects they are no saints and can easily take over the drug business and remain in power forever. Goodbye democracy, here come the goons.

It is only by having a high value of our lives and health of our children and all our citizens and teaching our children by good example to be drug and alcohol-free and eat healthy food will they have a healthy, productive meaningful life.

The drug users did not have these values and are victims.

They need recovery, therapy and rehabilitation.

The youth must be taught to be smart, knowledgeable and committed to a life of drug-free dignity. When we end the demand, then we end the supply. This can be done by the inspiring words and deeds of responsible youth, parents, teachers and national leaders. They must give moral leadership and good example of a disciplined drug, alcohol and vice-free life.

Public campaigning and government legislative action and public education has driven back the smoking scourge and now its hip to be tobacco free. That is an example of success and a non-violent solution.

Knowledge is power and we have to empower others and ourselves with the truth to oppose the drug use and make it unacceptable in society.

Drug abuse can be defeated. In other countries, activists must prevent it being legalized as is happening in some places in the USA and Europe.

The sex trade and human trafficking is drug driven. The v i c t i ms are lured, made dependent or forcibly addicted in order to subdue and control them. Before they are abducted and trafficked, they are frequently tranquilized with drugs to make them docile and submissive. Then they are sold into sex slavery to many customers who are high on drugs especially marijuana with high levels of THC. Government must stop giving operating permits and licenses to the sex brothels and bars.

Campaigners in Northern hemisphere countries are protecting youth and children from the dangers of drugs by working to stop the legalization of some dangerous drugs especially cannabis. Their campaign is knowledge-based and backed by cutting edge scientific research and important findings. These are the great unsung, but often criticized, heroes of our time.

The decades-long cam-

even more.

Since then there was true peace in the country but we salute to two flags, that of America and our own. In schools and government offices during flag ceremonies, we sang two national anthems and raised two flags. I was a witness to this scenario because I was a little boy attending the primary school in my town.

It was the Americans who granted us Independence on July 4, 1946 shortly after World War II. It was the true Independence when we brought down from the flagpole the American flag.

That was the beginning of the Republic of the Philippines that metamorphosed from just the Philippine Islands. There was glory in the heart of every Filipino and from that moment we

celebrate every July 4 as our Independence Day. From that time on, we exist as an independent nation with full sovereignty.

Things have dramatically changed during the time of then Pres. Diosdado Macapagal. History would tell us that Macapagal visited Washington to ask the American government some favors which the US congress denied for some reasons. When he returned to the country, he ordered the celebration of Independence Day not on July 4 anymore but on June12 - - utterly to show his displeasure of America.

Whether we like it or not, America has been the backbone of our growth and development until these days. To further the friendship of the two countries, America established its military bases for no other reason but to protect us in case an invasion by foreign power occurs. Filipino arrogance and ungratefulness, however, surfaced and we closed their military bases.

Many of our young men and women who worked in the two bases were terminated while business firms like hotels, nightclubs, bars and stores had to close.

paigner Grainne Kenny, honorary president of Europe Against Drugs (EURAD) and Irish Laureate 1989 Women Of Europe Award for her campaign to save youth from drug use, has this to say to those working to decriminalize cannabis use.

“Decriminalization will bring the drug problem out of the scope of penal (criminal) law. Law enforcement will no longer be provided for the export. Import, manufacture, distribution, sale, publicity, possession and use of drugs that are up till now controlled within the scope of international conventions. The consequences are that society will have no law or lever to use to direct drug addicts towards help and treatment. Neither does society have means to suppress trafficking”.

Top NPA leader nabbed in Surigao del Norte BUTUAN City -- Another suspected New People’s Army leader was arrested in police operations against wanted persons at a coastal municipality in Surigao del Norte on Monday afternoon.

Surigao del Norte Police in its report to the police regional headquarters on

Tuesday said that the joint team of the Regional Intelligence Division (RID) 13 Tracker Team and the Regional Public Safety Battalion 13 arrested Jonathan Cadaan Penaflor, who is also known as “Jojo Penaflor”, “Larkan” and “Albert” was arrested at his rented home located at Purok-7, Brgy.

Ladgaran, Claver town in Surigao del Norte, at 2:00 p.m. on Monday.

Police said that Penaflor was arrested on the strength of an arrest warrant issued against him on December 27, 2013 for “Murder” issued by Hon. Emmanuel E. Escatron, Acting Presiding Judge of the Regional Trial

Court, Branch 30, 10th Judicial Region in Surigao City. It was served at the suspect’s residence.

Penaflor, according to the police is the commanding officer of the Sangay Sa Partido Platoon 21C of the Guerilla Front Committee 21 of the Northeastern Mindanao Revolutionary

Committee (NEMRC) of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA). The arresting team recovered from his residence a Combat Commander Colt and Para-Ordnance Caliber .45 pistols and ammunition.

The suspect was arrested after a year of surveillance.

According to the police, they were tipped of his presence at the locality a week ago.

He was linked to several atrocities committed by the rebels in the region. He did

not resist arrest however.

It could be recalled that police under the RPSB 13, also arrested four suspected New People’s Army leaders of their “Militia Ng Bayan” in Brgy. Tungao, a hinter village in Butuan City on Friday last week. The authorities also confiscated various firearms, ammunition, explosives and subversive documents during the incident. A case of illegal possession of firearms, ammunition and explosives were already filed in court against the suspects.(PNA)

in children of the next generation.

Dr. Akira Miroshima, authority on cytogenetic and formerly of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons said: “… in my twenty years of research on human cells, I have never found any other drug, including heroin, which comes close to the DNA damage caused by marijuana.”

If cannabis or marijuana is legalized and then damage to children is shown in their DNA, then the governments that legalized the drug and the companies who sold it will be liable for huge damage claims into the billions of dollars as happened with other legalized drugs that caused harm.

It is our duty to protect our children of this generation and of the next by preventing harm and hurt. This is by making drug use the social menace and pariah in society and teaching our children to stand against it and resist peer pressure to use it. shaycullen@ preda.org

occupied some parts of our territory in the Spratleys, we woke up to realize how much we needed America. China which is a thousand miles away from the port of Palawan, constructed islets and airport runways and declared the place is within its sovereignty.

Now we realized again we missed a true friend, ally and defender, hence the signing of the Enhance Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) Under this agreement, America will get back to our country with even more military bases - - a thing resented by China and leftist groups in our country.

Many observers and analysts think that had it not been of America, we would be bowing our head to the communist rulers. I guess our country will fall to the caprices of China and eventually become communist ourselves and be part of its domain. I can see very well how God intervened in our favor and put things in its right perspective.

Back to the commemoration of our Independence Day, the people have no recourse but to celebrate it on June 12 as mandated in the Constitution. Of course, this is fake but we honor it just the same to show our respect to our erring leaders. And to please America, we still celebrate July 4 every year but lacking its solemnity and honor. It is not independence day anymore but Philippine-America Friendship Day. BEN EMATA Bennex News Service

Doris Mongaya, Visayas media coordinator of the Duterte Campaign Team and member of the One Love, One Nation Cebu organizing team, said they are still discussing details on the party, including the venue.

She said it will be open to all supporters who have helped in the campaign, among them, the Cebu for Duterte, Let’s Do it! and other groups. (PNA)

companies may no longer see it necessary to hire regular employees because they can just tap the OJTs from the academe to work for them.

“What is happening is that there are industries [who] take opportunities of these schemes. For example, some companies don’t hire regular employees anymore because they just hire OJTs or tie up with schools who send a lot of OJTs to various companies.”

Suyao said.

On the part of the graduates, he said that there are some who still go into OJTs even though this is already beyond the school requirement.

Suyao noted that going into an OJT program is requirement for graduation. Problem is, there are reports that some graduates abuse this program, working as OJT even though they already graduated, he added.

He proposed that lawmakers should set clear guidelines and safety nets to avoid these abuses, maximize the time that the students allocate for internship and ensure that they are learning during the program.

Suyao wants certain measures be set that will make sure OJTs keep their hands busy upon the start of their internship, so that the companies will arrive at the sound and objective decision “whether they pass or they fail, whether they qualify to graduate or not.”

The students, he said, do nothing in their OJT. “They’re being asked to make coffee. There is no proper way how to do it because ideally, if you go into OJT, there should be a contract and an outline what you want the students to do,” Suyao added.

Paul then asked David if he would like to ride in his car. “Oh, Yes!” he answered. “I’d love to!”

Paul and his new friend had been riding a while when David said: “Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?” Paul smiled, thinking David wanted to show his friends that he was riding in a new car. David asked Paul to stop in front of a certain house. The boy jumped out of the car and ran into the house.

A few minutes later, Paul saw David coming back out carrying his crippled, little brother. He carefully sat his brother down on the steps in front. Sitting down next to his brother, David pointed to Paul’s new car. He said to his brother: “See that car, Buddy!

This man’s brother gave it to him for Christmas. And someday, I’m going to give you one just like it.

Then you can ride in it and see for yourself all the nice Christmas things in the stores that I’ve been telling you about.”

Paul got out and lifted the crippled, little brother on to the front seat of his new car. David climbed in beside his brother, and the three of them went on a very special and unforgettable Christmas ride. That Christmas

years,” the statement reads.

It added that from DepEd’s initial prospect of 2.4 million enrollees for Grade II, it plummeted to 1.5 million for this school year, a difference of over a millionb students who were unable to enroll for Grade II. “Rubbing salt into the wound, students were forced to enroll in private schools because they were not able to get absorbed in public schools. And with expensive tuition fees, the government’s voucher system is not enough to help the student in pursuing his studies in senior high,” the CEGP statement said.

Profits for oligarchs “Allowing K-12 to continue is like tolerating crime. This is not the change hoped for by many who voted for (President-elect Rodrigo) Duterte. Ang K-12 ay pabigat at pahirap sa ordinaryong pamilyang Pilipino. Ang oligarkiya na nagmamay-ari ng private schools lamang ang bebenipisyo,” said Anakbayan national chairperson Vencer Crisostomo.

The youth group urged the incoming maverick president to hear the side of students, parents, and teachers instead of being fooled by the promoters of the K-12 program from the Aquino administration who are only out to ensure the profits of oligarchs in the school business at the expense of ordinary Filipinos.

“Many of the votes for Duterte were votes rejecting the K-12.

Many supported Duterte’s stand against the Aquino administration’s flagship education program.

Reversing his opposition to K-12 now will only be a betrayal of ordinary Filipino families who expected to be part of the change promised by a Duterte presidency,” he said.

While Duterte opposed the K-12 program during the campaign, he said the other day that he will change his position. “I said I was against it early on when it was being implemented. But some of the bright guys in DepEd came to see me here in Davao and explained to me how we are lagging behind our neighbors,” Duterte told the media.

“These ‘bright guys’ from DepEd apparently only told the incoming president good things about the K-12 program while leaving out problems like the acute shortages of teachers and facilities. They left out telling him that implementing K-12 will force many students to shift to private schools or just drop out from schooling,” said Crisostomo.

According to DepEd, only 800,000 to 1.1 million of 2 million incoming Senior High School students (SHS) can be accommodated by the country’s public school system. The remaining 800,000 to 1 million students will be forced to enroll in private schools through DepEd’s P12.2 billion budget SHS voucher program.

“The K-12 is a criminal program favouring oligarchs with the SHS program designed to

ensure more enrolees for private schools and automatic profits in the form of vouchers. Fact is DepEd officials may already have received commissions from private school owners thus their insistence on pushing through the K-12 program,” said Crisostomo.

Thus, the Climate Change Commission decided to approach the three Ateneo institutions in Mindanao to help them out and train the non-compliant LGU officials. The three – Ateneo de Davao University, Ateneo de Zamboanga University and Xavier University – heeded in without hesitation.

Xavier University president Fr. Roberto Yap said his faculty will be tapped to train LGUs that are part of the Cagayan River Basin, which comprise the municipalities and cities within Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon.

Mr. Yap expected that they will finish training around 500 LGUs by the end of 2016. By that time, they could produce a draft of their respective climate change mitigation action plans.

Mr. de Guzman said training is composed of 11 modules.

Participants of the training will be the mayor, the budget officer and the local environment and natural resources officer. The four-day session will be capped with a writeshop.

The 160 LGUs which already have their own climate change mitigation action plans will also be part of the training pool, he added. Among them is the disaster resilience campaign of Makati City and the Climate Smart Village of Los Banos, Laguna.

In Cagayan de Oro, Mr. Yap said the immediate plan would be to close down the existing open dump and create a sanitary landfill instead. Already, local government officials here are facing charges before the Ombudsman for failing to close the open dump as mandated under the Solid Waste Management Act. MF

In his welcoming remarks, DepEd Nueva Vizcaya Schools Division Superintendent Samuel Soliven expressed gratitude to all the donors “who have come here to share their resources to the last, the least, and the lost.”

DepEd Region II Regional Director Estela Carino said she is deeply thankful for giving her office the chance to hold the

1st Year Anniversary Celebration & Installation of new set of officers of ROYAL VECTORS EAGLES CLUB on May 22, 2016 with Kuya Karl Ugsod (REGIONAL EXECUTIVE INFORMATION NMR1), Kuya Dondon Cabasa Allorin (GOVERNOR NMR1), Kuya Felix Josue Sabando II (CHARTER PRESIDENT OF RVEC), Kuya Doc Ferdie Miranda (KEYNOTE SPEAKER) & Kuya Andy Tiro Paurom (REGIONAL PEIL DIRECTOR NMR1).

“We have decided to hold Brigada Eskwela here in Nueva Vizcaya. Every year, we bring the national kick-off ceremonies to different regions to convey the message that Brigada Eskwela is for all,” Undersecretary for Partnerships and External Linkages Mario Deriquito said.

Deriquito added: “We have been doing this for 14 years since 2003. Let us make sure that everything in our schools gets fixed... let us emphasize and give priority to safety.

Let us identify the underserved schools and let us help them.”

“Brigada Eskwela is not just for schools, but for the whole community,” Luistro said.

‘Kayang kaya pa’ In a separate press conference, Luistro said that DepEd wanted to hold the Brigada Eskwela kick-off program in an indigenous community.

Sta. Cruz Pingkian National High School caters to learners

from indigenous communities.

“K to 12 is about the last mile also.

It’s also about nonformal education.

It’s also about the IP (indigenous peoples) communities. It’s also about 6th class municipalities,” Luistro said.

“If you look at the map of where we are putting up the senior high schools, we wanted to make sure that all the way to the 6th class municipalities,

there are senior high schools. The special groups that we have included in the last mile efforts—street children, those with disabilities, IP groups—they are all part of this,” he added.

“Looking at the landscape, Kayapa has the best population of all of those last milers; besides, Kayapa can also be read as ‘Kaya pa.’ Last push, kayang kaya pa,” Luistro noted.

Your goodness is continues even to the undeserving T h e G osp e l o f Jesus Christ (June9, 2016-Thursday) Matthew 13:54-58”He came to His hometown and began teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers? Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? “And His sisters,

are they not all with us?

Where then did this man get all these things?”

And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.” And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief: Law of over familiarity is very dangerous many times to most leaders and ministers of God. It was done to Jesus Christ

by his own people. He was rejected because they knew him very well.

This is the reason why a certain prophet has no honor in his own town because of jealousy or insecurities by the people. The respect is gone because of too much information acquired from that person. Supposedly, the more familiar this person to you, the more you are willing to respect him and show your goodness

The more you are closed to someone, the lesser respect is being shown.

The right attitude is; your goodness is continues even to the undeserving individual around you. Be good as your naturalism.

God appreciates your goodness once you are not selective in doing it.

Anyway, not all people like this attitude. The reason as far as I am concerned to this is

because the boundary between you and that person is broken already.

How many times that you never respect a certain individual? Take note, they are still human beings who are prone to sins and temptations.

As a teacher, we must establish a mind set for better classroom management, greatly considering on making and preparing a classroom management plan for the good and welfare of both the teacher and the pupils.

A classroom management plan includes on systematic and organized approach on dealing with the pupils not only on their behaviour but also

on their performance at school. As teachers, we must always update our pupils not only on their academic performance but also on their relationship with their classmates. With a classroom management plan, we may be able to guide our pupils on the do’s and dont’s in the classroom without merely sacrificing each other’s relationship and bond.

Like for example, if it is included in your plan that in a classroom there should be a rule to be followed, hence this example that before speaking or leaving your seat, the pupil must raise their right hand.

Accordingly, all pupils will follow this instruction as it is clear to them and actually it is simple. Thus, it is just one of the sets that as a teacher, you can include in your classroom management plan.

With this, classroom management mind set, everyone is guided on the rules and everyone has a better avenue on improving oneself not only on the academic performance but to a holistic education approach. sun, SCES was inspired because volunteers who came every day even without cash in return.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL – IT’S EVERYBODYS’ CONCERN

By Josephine R. Quiroquiro, PhD., RGC Head Teacher III Iligan City East High School, Iligan City

The battle cry of the Department of Education (DepEd) which is “Tayo Para Sa Edukasyon” leads to the realization of its programs and projects. At present, the focus of the DepEd is the implementation of the Senior High School (SHS) this school year 2016 – 2017. The Senior High School or the additional of two (2) years at first was not welcomed by the parents and some of the educators. For the parents, the additional two years entail additional expenses and there will be other unexpected expenses. On the side of the educators, specifically the teachers, they cited the lack of funds for the educational needs of the learners like books, chairs, facilities, school buildings, etc.

Nevertheless, due to the massive information advocacy done by the DepEd and those who are the front liners like the school administrators, faculty and stakeholders, the parents and those with

negative attitudes and perceptions towards SHS were able to accept and embrace the program. Thus, the DepEd is moving Earth and Heaven to be ready for the implementation of SHS this school year. “Tayo (Stand)/ Tayo (Us) Para sa Edukasyon” is therefore the exact wake up call for everybody.

With the implementation of SHS, the educators, parents and stakeholders, are looking forward that graduates of this program will indeed attain the DepEd’s goal that they will be ready for employment (trabaho) due to the skills they will gain; they will be ready to pursue higher education (kolehiyo); and, they will be ready to be an entrepreneur (negosyante) in the future. The key word for the implementation of SHS is “READINESS” in order to meet the desired goal of DepEd. Senior High School is the highlight of the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

However, the realization of this goal is through the concerted effort

The Power of Social Media

of everybody in the educational system and the stakeholders.

Everybody has a role to portray in this gigantic task place in our shoulder. But, the big question is “Are we really ready to give chance to the Senior High School Program this year.”

Generally, the government is considering all walks of life in the successful attainment of SHS Program In other words, EVERYBODY - you, me and us have a role to play – and this role is very significant, no matter how small or big it is. But, we have to remember that in education the end product is the future leaders of our country – in this case, it’s the graduates of the K to 12 program, the Senior High School graduates. Indeed, we have to be serious in accepting the challenge coupled with dedication and commitment in order to produce a high quality breed of graduates. LET US THEREFORE JOIN THE BAND WAGON in launching the Senior High School this school year.

By Ener B. Salcedo, Teacher III Lugait Central School

Social media nowadays plays a vital role in the industry, academe, education and other institution. Its power is highly acknowledged in the realm of all aspects of life specifically in the abrupt change of technology today wherein ever ything comes in miniature.

Social media is significant in education and teaching schemes of teachers. Well, some teachers use the power of technology in imparting to their pupils and students the lessons and insights they ought to learn; others would do different challenging learning activities online.

Teachers can also assign home works that would involve online research. Somehow, researching now is just one click away and then you can have all the information you need right in front of you after one second. In this way, you can also teach the children on how to be upbeat with technology in a good and productive way plus it will be a bonding moment for the children and their parents.

At times, allowing your pupils to go online is also allowing them to get socialize with others, for them to get acquainted also but as teachers, we should be constantly reminding them on the good

attributes of social media, it’s good practices.

As teachers, we should not stop our pupils to go online as it can also help them not only in their education but also in some aspects of their life. We should not limit them specifically on the use of social media but we should not limit ourselves also in reminding them its advantages and disadvantages, more so we should linger on its advantages and good side.

Social media is a very powerful tool; it can make and break people so as relationships. It should be well taken care of. Remember, social media is now part of our everyday lives.

We’re breaking new ground!

Allied Care Experts (ACE) Medical Center Cagayan de Oro Inc., makes state-of-theart health care facilities become a reality for the city of Cagayan de Oro as it breaks ground on Sunday, June 12, 2016. The 10-story, 300-bed Level 3 hospital located in Rosario Drive, LKK, Lapasan, is just one of a group of ACE hospitals nationwide that seeks to make health care accessible and affordable where and when the patient needs it most. Local residents need not seek medical care elsewhere, as modern facilities – coupled with the

organization’s mission to provide quality health care with altruism, compassion and excellence will be readily available locally.

The Corporate Board is composed of 23 medical specialists from Cagayan de Oro who have been actively practicing in the city for sometime, as well as 37 medical specialists based in other parts of the country whose expertise and experience will make the hospital’s services at par with the best in the country and soon even in surrounding Southeast Asia.

It is chaired nationally by Dr. Amado Manuel C. Enriquez Jr., a thoraco-cardiovascular surgeon with practice in Manila.

Other existing Allied Care

Experts (ACE) hospitals in the country are located in Valenzuela, Baliwag, Pateros, Quezon City, and Baypointe, Subic Bay Free Port Zone. Construction is ongoing for other Allied Care Expert (ACE) hospitals in the Visayas such as in Cebu, Bohol, Dumaguete, Iloilo and Tacloban. Soon, other ACE hospitals will rise in Mindanao specifically in Davao, Butuan City, Zamboanga, General Santos City and now in Cagayan de Oro. This network of experts and facilities elevate health care into an exciting opportunity for Cagay-anons and people from nearby provinces to enjoy Allied Care Expert’s commitment to providing outstanding care and quality service all over the country.
