Family of OFW in death row appeals for Duterte’s help

GENERAL SANTOS CITY -- The family of an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) from this city, who is facing death penalty in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has appealed for help from President Rodrigo R. Duterte.

Rajima Dalquez, mother of convicted OFW Jennifer, asked the President on Wednesday to look into her daughter’s plight as they await the scheduled release on Saturday, Feb. 11, of a court decision on their appeal.

“Nananawagan po kami sa mahal na Presidente Duterte na matulungan po ang anak ko, si Jennifer Dalquez...sana matulungan mo po siya na makauwi dito sa aming piling (We’re appealing to our beloved President Duterte to help my daughter, Jennifer Dalquez... we’re hoping that you can help her come home),” she said.

Jennifer Dalquez, 29, who hails from Barangay Labangal here, was sentenced to death by a court in Al Ain, UAE on May 20, 2015 for stabbing her employer to death on Dec. 7, 2014.

During trial, she said the act was in self-defense after her Emirati employer had tried to rape her.

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) had assigned a lawyer to handle the appeal for Jennifer’s death sentence.

Personnel from the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) has been providing assistance and regularly monitoring Jennifer’s status at the Al Ain jail.

In late 2015, Rajima and husband Abdulhamid were able to visit Jennifer through the DFA’s assistance.

Use of aquaphonics pushed as alternative livelihood for fish kill-hit operators in Lake Sebu GENERAL SANTOS CITY -- Agriculture personnel in South Cotabato are pushing for the adoption of aquaphonics, a system that combines conventional aquaculture with hydroponics or cultivating plants in water, as alternative livelihood for fish cage owners in Lake Sebu who would be affected by a proposed moratorium in their operations.

The Provincial Environment Management Office and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) had recommended a moratorium of up to three years on fish cage operations at the lake due to the latest massive fish kill that destroyed around PHP124 million worth of tilapia.

Rex Vargas, fisher y coordinator of the South Cotabato Office of the Provincial Agriculturist, said Wednesday the area’s fish cage operators could be tapped to cultivate aquatic organisms that would be used in the lake’s rehabilitation.

He said a system could be set wherein the operators could receive grants and earn from such venture.

Aboitiz’s CSR has ‘electrifying’ impact Famous Moro cloth on Cotabato City senior high students to take center stage COTABATO CITY – Students of a state-run high school here have shown “electrifying” interests in taking up electrical engineering or related courses in college.

Thanks to the Aboitizowned Cotabato Light and Power Company (Cotabato Light) for the first ever electrical laboratory (e.Lab) for Canizares National High School of Arts and Trade (CNHSAT) in Barangay Rosary Heights 10, Cotabato City.

It has opened a door of opportunities to about 140 senior high students.

Among them was Eron Abohasim, 19 and Grade 12 student of CNHSAT, who

now focuses his education to electrical engineering, hoping one day he will become an electrical engineer.

“It’s a dream now and I am confident it will come,” Abohasim said after the Cotabato Light officially turned over the electrical laboratory to CNHSAT officials.

“Seeing the wonders of how electricity works, interests developed in me to become electrical engineer or related courses,” he said.

But Abohasim has a problem. His family is not capable of sending him to college due to poverty and the high cost of education.

His option? Seek for scholarship to realize his

dream of becoming a Muslim electrical engineer from his clan.

Another student, also a senior high, 20-year-old Adzmin M. Masukat, also eyes electrical engineering course. “Why not,” he said in an interview. “Others have done it, I see no reason why I can’t,” the very optimist Masukat said in Filipino.

If Masukat has to pursue his dream, it would not be a “walk in the park” as his father had died and only his mother is sending him to school. “Maybe I could only finish high school, after that I don’t know, but I will strive to reach that dream,” he said, adding that he is See impact, page A7

in Maguindanao Festival BULUAN, Maguindanao – With the famous Maguindanao fabric, used for centuries as “malong” (Muslim tube cloth) among Moro people gaining local and international exposures, more and more Muslim jobless women, including widows of former Moro rebels, now have a source of income, officials said Wednesday.

Maguindanao Gov. Esmael Toto Mangudadatu said his office is saving from extinction the “inaul” cloth weaving tradition and make use of this colorful tradition to boost eco-tourism development in Maguin-

danao and elsewhere in the country.

“Inaul” cloth, now even more famous, was elegantly used by candidates of the recently held Miss Universe 2016, during a fashion show in Davao City. Philippines’ Miss Universe Maxine Medina and other candidates, to include Ms. International 2016 Kylie Mendoza, stunningly displayed the Muslim popular cloth.

It will again take center stage when the First Inaul Festival commences here simultaneous with the Sagayan (war dance) Festival starting Thursday.

Jabagat said on Wednesday.

The act of adopting a child is an act of selfless love, ensuring full and complete protection over the adopted child or children. We call on all adoptive families and those intending to adopt to adhere to and be mindful of the adoption law, Director Jabagat urged.

“Let us make the life of our adopted child the happiest by providing the love and the security he or she needs most, so that he or she will grow up emotionally secure, healthy and responsible,” she added.

To further push legal adoption, the Adoption Resource and Referral Section

of DSWD Davao Region has been conducting orientation on Republic Act 9523 (DSWD Certification to Declare a Child Legally Available for Adoption) as well as Adoption Forum for social workers in local government units and child caring agencies, and to barangay health workers.

This year’s theme “Pagmamahal Palaganapin, Legal na Pag-aampon Ating Gawin (Spread Unconditional Love through Legal Adoption)” advocates the welfare and human rights of adoptive children who must also enjoy the same privileges as biological children do.

Adoption is a socio-

legal process of providing a permanent family to a child whose parents have voluntarily or involuntarily relinquished parental authority over the child.

In 2016, the Adoption Resource and Referral Section of DSWD Davao Region was able to serve 184 cases pertaining to adoption.

For the week-long event, DSWD will convene adoptive parents and prospective families in an Adoption Forum. A press conference to promote legal adoption will also be conducted through Kapehan sa Dabaw at SM City Annex while Adoption Inquiry Desk will be inSee uphold , page A6

Every goodness that you have done is your stored accounts at the bank The Gospel of Jesus Christ (February 10, 2017-Friday) Luke 10:38-42” He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left

me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part: Actually; money cannot buy happiness but this is only a tool to make us happy once this is used exactly and properly.

Mitigating Drug Menace through Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD)

By RONOR PACLAR-ESCABARTE SST-III, MOGCHS

The Misamis Oriental General Comprehensive High School has been always improving itself to mold its students and to steer them to the right path. In accordance to that principle, the highly recognized student organization, Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD) have been very active in empowering the youth and keeping them away from the destructive effects of both illegal and gateway drugs. This is in support of the government’s program and effort of our president Rodrigo “Digong” Duterte to eradicate illegal drugs in our country. BKD is a school-wide organization whose mission and vision is to prevent teenagers to engage on illegal drugs and to inform them about its destructive effects on the human mind and body. The organization aims to keep students busy and be active on school activities instead of trying to use illegal drugs. It informs students about how it could destroy relationships, kill one’s moral behavior and all the bad things a person could under the influence of drugs. It also wants the students to become their own leaders and start the change to becoming a disciplined and drug-free nation. Whatever you do, never run back to what broke you. Curiosity is a natural behavior of teenagers because they want to explore the real world, perhaps the youth wants to discover a lot of things that they think they needed to know in order for them to mature and not be called ‘ignorant’. If you once tried illegal drugs, try as much as possible not to try it again.

But if you haven’t try it, never dare to. Spare yourself from the bad effects of drugs. Live by the mission and vision of Barkada Kontra Droga.

As the students develop themselves, the faculty should guide them into the right path thus symposiums are appropriate to be held especially in schools which are the right place to nurture a child and monitor its developments.

The club holds an Awareness Campaign through inviting speakers to handle seminars for students and teachers as well. The club’s main activities are holding Drug symposiums for students to keep them constantly aware of what illegal drugs could affect to their lives once they try using it. In a drug symposium, the BKD members are invited and

the BKD officers take charge.

The symposiums are not only about Drug Awareness but also about HIV Awareness and Health Awareness. But nevertheless, all of these symposiums give a lot of benefits for the students especially those who are still curious about everything and those who are still blinded of reality.

The organization has held a lot of activities to derive attention from the students aside from forums and symposiums. These activities are creative enough to attract the students to listen and be active enough to learn about the BKD’s mission and vision.

They conducted drug awareness programs and some fun and exciting activities like poster making, slogan making, signage making, essay writing, composition of rhyme and songs, jingle making and info-drama about drugs. Different campaign banners and NDEP Corner are also present in the classrooms of the school. This is to always remind the students that drugs cannot give them positive effects and it will just ruin their lives as well as their future.

Other wholesome BKD activities that involve linkages with the community includes “Alay Lakad Kontra Droga”.

The said event was participated by the students, BKD Officers, parents, teachers, and school administrators.

The kick-off of the said event was at the Provincial Capitol and ended at MOGCHS Campus. During the parade, the participants are holding banner with quotes and sayings about promoting drug – free school community. Also the students worn apple green BKD T-shirts that indicates the full-support in the parade that educates, influences, encourages, and loud callings to all of the individuals in spreading the bad effects of drugs in body and how to eradicate them in the society.

This proves that, the school and students of this institution are very dynamic in all aspects even in a simple way but with a great impact to the people. Wide media information dissemination was conducted during the Drug Abuse and Control Week. The BKD Ambassador and Ambassadress were interviewed during the early morning show of ABS-CBN, Pamahaw Espesyal. The student leaders were guest of some radio programs advocating anti - drug campaigns.

The arrival orbit was set so it could deliver the Schiaparelli lander to Meridiani Planum near the equator with good communications. The change was achieved in three burns

Once science observations begin next year, the new 74 degree orbit will provide optimum coverage of the surface for the instruments while still offering good visibility for relaying data from current and future landers.

Learning Mathematics and Science in the 21st Century

By Emelda Arabala

In the advent of new technology and the generations Y and Z nowadays, and of course in the booming trends of the new millennials, the teaching strategies of the teachers must compliment and compensate the learning needs of the millennials as well.

That is why teachers now are encouraged to better adapt the changes among the 21st century learners so that they can still implement the Department of Education’s mission and vision in the most effective way possible.

As to the specific subjects of Mathematics and Science, as they deal with numbers and scientific facts and figures, the 21st

century learners, as they are considered as multi-taskers and technology-savvy, it posts a great challenge to the teachers on how they will deliver and provide the best and quality education to the learners considering those changes. Now, teachers must as well employ better teaching methodologies to cope it up with.

For Mathematics, of course we cannot deny the fact that some of the students cannot easily grasp the lessons and learning taught. Further, Mathematics teachers now are very creative when it comes to introducing and teaching numbers and mathematical equations so that their students will love the subject and the most, they give their

full assistance and guidance for them to able to reach their full potential as they go on learning and loving the subject Mathematics.

Same thing and approach when teaching and imparting Science. Same as the Mathematics subject in which not all of the students immediately or rightfully love it or to say like it. Again, teachers should apply the necessary teaching fittings to catch the attention and retain the span of the students towards the subject.

With this, it is with great commendation and appreciation to all the teachers who are committedly teaching the subjects Mathematics and Science to our 21st century learners.

To students, we request your eager cooperation and

participation so that together hand in hand we can achieve the best and quality education for you.

To my fellow teachers, let us continue to be a blessing and a living servant to our learners. I know this is not an easy task but with utmost dedication and commitment we can imprint changes to better the lives of our students and that they will be better members of the community and that they can be of great help in the nation-building.

But then again, this is a unified effort that is why I enjoined everyone to be stewards and partners for change and be of great assistance to our 21st century learners for them to learn the best.

tors aims to assess the status of each FT and to answer queries to the issues, concerns, and challenges affecting the implementation of the project.

Problem arising during the presentation includes nonpayment of loans to the cooperative by most of the members, thus increasing the accounts receivables to be collected from the members.

Accordingly, Assistant Regional Director (ARD) Engr.

Roxana H. Hojas, emphasized to the participants to craft a strategy that will easen the collection process of the accounts receivable and debts of the members from the coop.

“Credit is good but we need cash. Pwede man magpa-utang pero ayaw ipa-utang tanan.

Ginagmay-gamay lang, kung makabayad ayha na dayon pautang utro pero depende sa management ninyo. Pero kung ipa-utang lang ninyo na dili pa kabayad tagaan pa gyud ninyo,

Meanwhile, Daisy Canto, Bookkeeper of Mantibugao FT which was named as the outstanding FT of 2016 shared their strategy on collecting debts from their members. She said that their coop accepts payment from their members, in kind or

in cash, partial or full payment of their debts, as long as payment is made by the member.

The two-day event were participated in by four municipal and 20 barangay FT operators from the provinces of Bukidnon, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental, and Misamis Oriental. #(DEGabales, DA-RFO 10)

“If this system will be used, the lake will slowly but surely return to its grandeur,” he said in an interview.

BFAR said results of its water sampling on the lake and other physio-chemical parameters showed that Lake Sebu’s waters is “dying.”

Experts noted that overcrowding at the lake and the massive use of commercial feeds by operators have caused its waters to deteriorate, triggering fish kills.

Vargas said they recommended to the municipal government of Lake Sebu the strict implementation of Republic Act 8850 or Philippine Fishery Code of 1998, specifically the provision that sets 10 percent utilization of the lake’s area for aquaculture development.

Around 20 percent of the 354-hectare lake are presently occupied by fish cages or way higher than its carrying capacity.

“It should also enact an ordinance that would declare a specific period within the year, likely during the rainy season as closed season for fish cage culture,” he said.

The fish kill from Jan. 27 to Feb. 4 is considered as the worst in Lake Sebu.

It destroyed some 1,383,416 kilos of tilapia from 4,944 fish cages owned by 464 operators.

With the farm-gate price at PHP90 per kilo, the estimated damage value has reached around PHP124.5 million.

As a result of the fish kill, Vargas said the price of tilapia initially dropped to as low as PHP30 a kilo.

But he said the scarcity of tilapia in the local markets has brought the current average prices to PHP112.50 per kilo.

Based on market price monitoring, Vargas said the price per kilo of tilapia ranges from PHP100 to PHP125.

Aside from the critical Lake Sebu, the town also produces tilapia from lakes Seloton and Lahit.(PNA)

Social Welfare and Development and OWWA also provided assistance to Dalquez’ family, especially to Jennifer’s two children.

Rajima, who also sought help from the city council or Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP), said their family is hoping for a positive decision on the appeal as “Jennifer only defended herself from her abusive employer.”

“Her employer even burned her chest and private parts with cigarette during her ordeal,” she said.

City Councilor Shandee Llido-Pestano said she will ask the city council to look into Jennifer’s case.

“Right now, the most prudent thing for the SP to do is to study her case.

Although she was already sentenced, just the same, we want to know what really happened,” she said.

Llido said they are “sympathetic to the plight” of Jennifer’s family.

She said TESDA will then issue National Certification (NC) 2 or Certificate of Competency (COC) to the course passers which can be used as documentation in applying for gainful employment after they finish Senior High.

Using new electrical laboratory facility with 10 sets of training tables and assessment facility, 50 armchairs, information wall and white boards with an estimated cost of about PHP500,000, the laboratory is creating future electrical experts, Nataño said.

“This is Cotabato Light’s contribution to CNHSAT because we believed in the capability and competence of its teachers and students,” she added.

“We will not fail you, we will take care and make this e.Lab an instrument to produce electrical experts,” Malumpig Balawag, CNHSAT principal, told power firm officials after receiving the turn-over key.

Cotabato City Schools Division superintendent Dr. Concepcion Ferrer– Balawag, Al Hadja, lauded the Aboitiz firm for giving importance to education as one of the keys to eradicate poverty.

Nataño said Cotabato Light will continue to hold on to its commitment and thrust as a dependable electric provider in the area and partner in progress that will create greater and meaningful impact to the community.

CNHSAT senior high school program offers the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) track with

Bread and Pastries, ICT and Electrical Installation and Maintenance as areas of specialization, the Department of Education said.

“Inaul” is a hand-woven fabric/textile that is traded and is worn by modern women, and men, in Maguindanao.

According to Eman Aljani, Mangudadatu’s chief of staff, more than 100 jobless Moro women have been added to hundreds of female constituents involved in inaul fabric-weaving who underwent extensive training.

The 120 women weavers finished a 15-day training initiated by the provincial government in partnership with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

Aljani said the training was part of preliminary events in the First Inaul Festival.

Among them was 56-year-old mother Lagawlan Pagalad, who said she was happy the provincial government gave them the opportunity to shine and earn modest income for their families.

She was also glad the training gave her the oppor-

tunity to be part in efforts to revive the almost forgotten “Inaul” weaving industry.

Those who have been in the weaving industry said it took them a month to produce five pieces of “Inaul” malong that would cost PHP1,200 to P1,800 a piece.

Mangudadatu vowed to personally promote here and abroad “Inaul”, aside from the tourism department and other agencies of the government.

In a press briefing early Wednesday, Bai Ayesha Mangudadatu Dilangalen, tourism secretary for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), said promoting “inaul” can easily push for tourism development in the region.

She said the “Inaul” exhibit would educate the people on its historical relevance.

“It is deeply connected to Moro residents of Mindanao,” she told reporters.

She said the Miss Universe candidates fashion show in Davao City was one opportunity for the Inaul to gain international recognition. In fact, Dilangalen said, it is set to be exhibited next month in Berlin, Germany.

“The demand for the fabric is overflowing,” she said. However, she fears the local manufacturers of “inaul” could meet the rising

SM CDO Downtown Premier centrally located along CM Recto Avenue.

SM CDO Downtown Premier to feature built in Rainwater Catchment System When SM CDO Downtown Premier opens its doors to the

public in May this year, it will redefine lifestyle shopping in the

City of Golden Friendship. As the first premier mall develop-

ment in Cagayan de Oro city, the 177,743 square meter mall

will bring in an eclectic mix of fresh dining concepts and new styles with its fashionable range of contemporary global brands.

Centrally located along CM Recto Avenue, it will have 5 floors of retail, dining, and entertainment options including a Food Hall, a Cyberzone, a Bowling Centre, state of the art cinemas including 4 digital cinemas, 2 director’s club, and 1 large format digital cinema.

The fifth level will have a Sky Park with al fresco dining and entertainment, and the Sky Hall an 800-seater events venue.

SM CDO Downtown Premier will also have 8 floors of prime office spaces in the BPO Tower.

More than that, it will have sustainability features, including a rainwater catchment system for flood prevention. This comes at a time when heavy rains like the recent one last January 16 have made flooding a major

concern for residents.

The rainwater catchment basin lies underneath the main mall building that measures 75 x 40 meters floor area and as high as 6 meters which can hold up to 13,650 cubic meters of water.

As SM Prime Holdings Chairman of the Executive Committee and Board Director Hans T. Sy say “I keep on telling my team to be a responsible developer. With the increasing concern of the effects of climate change, it is imperative that when we enter a community, we take the environmental efforts into consideration. This is allied with our desire to help improve the lives, welfare, and well-being of Filipinos through a viable sustainability program.”

This initiative is one of SM Prime Holding’s commitments toward sustainable development in the communities it serves.
