Koko: Sack police scalawags; don’t send them to Mindanao mark francisco, Section Editor EDITOR: CHENG ORDOñEZ

By Mindanews

DAVAO CITY — Senate President Aquilino Pimentel III on Tuesday called for an immediate stop to the practice of reassigning erring policemen to Mindanao. In a press statement, Pimentel said Mindanao is “deserving of honest and disciplined lawmen like the rest of the country.” Two weeks earlier, Governor Mujiv Hataman of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) also called for an end to the practice, stressing the region is “not a dumping ground for erring and corrupt police officers involved in illegal drugs.” In his midnight press conference in Malacanang on January 29-30, President Rodrigo Duterte repeatedly said he would have these police scalawags sent to the ARMM provinces of Basilan, Sulu and Lanao del Sur. “I would like to establish control sa Basilan pati sa Jolo (Sulu). Diyan sa Lanao there’s a fight going on. Doon muna sila mag-duty. Basta ‘yung may mga kaso lahat. (Let them go on duty there. All those who have cases). In the latter part of his press conference, he repeated his need to “have a strong presence in Basilan and in Jolo.” “Sila ‘yung paunahin ko doon. Eh kung marunong itong manakot ng mga magnakaw eh ‘di doon sila” (I will let them go there. If they know how to scare thieves, let them be there), Duterte said, adding even those who are about to retire will be sent there and to places like Bongao (Tawi-tawi). “They will have their sightseeing days before they go,” the President said.

DAVAO CITY – Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana on Tuesday urged the public to cooperate with the Armed Forces of the Philippines “to avoid any untoward incident or injury” as he declared the “all-out operations” against terrorists in Mindanao “is in full swing.” “I would like to inform my fellow Mindanaoans and Filipinos that operations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines against the See war, page A3

Once an individual is being able to comprehend what he or she is reading then it bears a huge impact to his or her existence. Reading comprehension is very much applicable whether one is at school, at home, at work, or at any other places that may require therein. Basically, the goal of reading is to derive meaning.

Creating equity in classrooms By CATHERINE L. ANCHEZ Teacher I Don Victoriano Central School Don Victoriano District Lalud, Don Victoriano, Misamis Occidental

INEQUITIES in teacher attention and class participation begin long before a particular student walks into your classroom. However, these patters can be changed.

Paying particular attention to classroom dynamics can profit all students and result in a higher level of intellectual performance. Promoting equity in the classroom does not necessarily mean treating all students equally though it does mean giving all students equal opportunities to succeed. It may also mean giving some students more

dents who experience the same type of frustration every day. They don’t possess adequate reading comprehension skills to do what is expected of them. Without comprehension, reading is simply following words on the page from left to right while sounding them out. The words on the page have no meaning. And while students read for so many different reasons, the chief goal is to derive some understanding of what the writer is trying to convey and make use of that information- whether for fact gathering, learning a new skill, or for pleasure. That is why reading comprehension skills are so important. Without it, the reader cannot gather the information and use it to

you hope that you have some money to rebook. How about in education? Is time on task applicable? I remember one time when our school principal asked us teachers whether we arrived late in our first period class. If late, what would be the reason? What solution should we

efficiently function and enjoy the richness of life. Reading is a multifaceted process that develops only with thorough and enough practice. There are certain aspects of reading, such as fluency and word recognition. These basic must be mastered but at the same time reading comprehension should be emphasized and achieved in the process. Students can parrot words on a page all day long but if they do not have the necessary comprehension skills they will not able to make predictions about what will happen next, monitor their understanding of content, sequence or characters, clarify confusing parts of the text, or connect what they are reading

to their own experience or prior knowledge. And that is what true comprehension is all about. This as reading comprehension embodies so much importance to the students as this may function very significantly in the achievement of different works and responsibilities. Without prior comprehension, then, one may not be able to understand and comprehend things and in general what life is all about. As teachers, let us in one way or the other achieve better reading comprehension among our students and we will be making a big and great difference into their lives.

to be assets and not liabilities for the organization. “Life is 10% what happens to me and 90 % how I react to it”, so think before you speak. Learning how to handle your emotions makes you in control of the situation. Different situations call for different actions. We get to deal with different people of different attitudes and dispositions in life. Each of us was reared differently which makes each one of us unique, as they say “No two people are the same”.

So as professionals, we need to know how to identify the need to be addressed because what may apply to Situation A may not be applicable to Situation B. Leaders must display versatility and open-mindedness to have a whole grasp of the scenario. One needs to be excellent in observation and decision making and maximizing the use of the senses in order to see the real score in a certain situation

encouragement to perform in class or structuring your class in ways that promote greater participation form a wider number of students. Explicitly encouraging quieter students by calling on them or by placing them in group settings where participation seems easier or less threatening is one example of how ensuring equity sometimes calls for additional measures. Paying closer attention to

gender dynamics in the classroom leads both to better teaching and to better learning for male and female students. Give all students equal attention in advising and mentoring. Don’t overlook capable but quiet students. Revise curricula if necessary to include female experiences and to include them in more than just stereotypical ways.

give to address tardiness? My answer was sometimes I came late and suggest a solution to change the time of first period class to start from 6:30 a.m. to be around 7:00 a.m. Punctuality is the characteristic of being able to complete a required task or fulfill an obligation before or at a previously designated time. Punctual is often used synonymously

with on time. According to each culture, there is often an understanding about what is considered an acceptable degree of punctuality. In cultures which value punctuality, being late is seen as disrespectful of others’ time and may be considered insulting. Being punctual is as important as ever throughout history.

4P’s- A CHALLENGE AND INSPIRATION FOR FILIPINOS TO ACHIEVE GOALS

By LOVE JOY E. LOZARITA Imbatug Elementary School

POVERTY- a very common word we heard from most Filipinos who stop dreaming for a brighter future. In the early age of 10, most of the Filipino children stop schooling due to poverty. Some of these children found working to earn money from farm just to survive. We even cannot deny the fact that we have many street children asking for any peso from people who passed by. This problem is because of poverty. Because their parents cannot sustain the daily needs of their children. As their problem arises at home, ideas of letting the young members of the family begin to exist. The Government was aware about the problem and they implemented the 4P’s. 4 P ’s ( PA N TAW I D

PA M I LYA N G P I L I P I N O PROGRAM) is one of the responses of the Philippine Government to the challenge of meeting the Millennium Development Goals. This program aimed to free people from hunger and diseases and enlarges freedom. To provide assistance to the poor, to alleviate their immediate needs and to break the intergeneralizational cycle of poverty through investment in human capital such as education, health and nutrition. The beneficiaries of the program are the Pregnant household, children 0-5 years old and children 6-14 years old. This program is implemented in 17 region, 80 Provinces and 733 cities and municipalities in which 4P’s covered already 1 million poor households by end of 2010. 4P’s provides conditional cash grants to beneficiaries through Landbank cash card. Beneficiaries will be receiving

6,000.00 per year or 500.00 per month per household for Health and nutrition Grant and 3,000.00 per year or 300.00 per month per child for 10 months a year, to a maximum of 3 children per household for education. A household with three qualified children receives a subsidy of 1,400.00/month during the school year or 15,000.00 annually as long as they comply with the conditional ties. The conditionalities are the regular checkups which include the weight monitoring, the management of childhood diseases for sick children and deworming them twice a year in school and maintain a class attendance rate of at least 85% per month. This conditionlities never burden the members of 4P’s, yet, challenge each one of them to be active and more responsive citizen of our nation. The CABANGL ASAN

DISTRICT is very thankful being one of the Districts wherein Parents and children of 26 schools are receiving benefits from this program. This encourage the pupils of 26 schools of Cabanglasan District to be more interested in going to school, active in school activities and even letting them continue aiming to be well educated person. It challenge and inspire them to reach their goals in life. Now, we can see few children in streets asking for help. Ad through this program, we believe that soon, no more children in streets asking for centavos. We salute the Philippine Government for implementing 4P’s to challenge and inspire the Filipinos, especially the children who were said to be the HOPE OF THE NATION to continue their journey in life…

In due time we will reap if we do not grow weary The Gospel of Jesus Christ (February3, 2017-Friday) Matthew 25:31-46”Then He will also say to those on His left, `Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe

the Abu Sayyaf and other local terrorist groups are now in full swing. Your AFP will use its ground, air and sea assets against our enemies and leave them no room for escape,” Lorenzana said in a statement e-mailed to media Tuesday afternoon. At the midnight press conference in Malacañang on January 29-30, 2017, where President Rodrigo Duterte ordered a “full press operations” against terrorists, Lorenzana said, “you can say it is an all out war” against the Maute group in Lanao del Sur, noting that Abu Sayyaf leader Isnilon Hapilon and 40 of his people from Basilan are now with the Maute Group in Lanao del Sur “with the intention of organizing the ISIS-connected group.” Lorenzana, a retired general who hails from Mindanao, said the military will ensure the public’s “safety and those of the poor hostages who are being heartlessly used as human shields.” He asked the public to cooperate with the AFP “to avoid any untoward incident or injury.” “Huwag ninyong tutulungan ang mga terorista. Kung tatakbo sila sa mga bahay n’yo, huwag ninyo silang patutuluyin, kakanlungin at itatago. Kung mga kamag-anak o kaibigan ninyo sila at gusto n’yo silang sagipin, kumbinsihin n’yo silang magbalik-loob sa pamahalaan habang may panahon pa,” (Do not help terrorists. If they run to your houses, do not let them in, provide refuge or hide them. If they are your relatives or friends and you want to save them, convince them to surrender to government while there is still time), Lorenzana warned. He explained the war against terrorism and violent extremism is not just the responsibility of the AFP but is “a war every Filipino citizen must fight in order to attain lasting peace and usher in development to Mindanao and the entire nation.”

Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ “Then they themselves also will answer, `Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ “Then He will answer them, `Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ “These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous Lorenzana also announced during the midnight press conference that “for the first time,” the AFP used its FA 50 combat aircraft on January 25 “to deliver our bombs and it was also supported by the Broncos and helicopters plus in the morning ‘yung mga artillery naman natin ang ginamit to support our troops.” Not the first time But this was not the first time the Duterte administration launched operations against the Abu Sayyaf in the island provinces of Sulu and Basilan and the Maute Group in Lanao del Sur. In both operations – the Abu Sayyaf in August-September and the Maute Group in November- December – the military reported success and in the case of Butig, Lanao del Sur, the area already supposedly “liberated” by December 2016. Duterte, the country’s 16th President and first Mindanawon to lead the nation, is the fifth Philippine President to attempt to destroy the Abu Sayyaf Group and the second to attempt to destroy the Maute Group. Both groups are based in Mindanao – the Abu Sayyaf in the island provinces of Sulu and Basilan and the Maute Group in the mainland. Former Presidents Fidel Ramos, Joseph Estrada, Gloria MacapagalArroyo and Benigno Simeon Aquino III had launched their own “all-out war” and “all-out operations” against the Abu Sayyaf but the group has remained, its kidnapping and other terror acts even worse than before. Duterte announced in a midnight press conference in Davao City in late August 2016 that he had ordered the military and police to “seek out the Abu Sayyaf and destroy them.” “Seek them out in their lairs and destroy them… Ang mga Abu Sayyaf destroy them, period,” Duterte said in a midnight press conference, hours after the Abu Sayyaf was reported to have beheaded an 18-year-old male resident of Sulu who was kidnapped

into eternal life: Hebrews 9:27”And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment. This gospel is talking about the last day of the people and probably, some people of our next generation can experience this judgment. Take note, you will be judged according to your works every day. 2 Corinthians 5:10”For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, by the terrorist group on July 16. “My orders to the police and armed forces against all enemies of the state: Seek out, seek them out in their lairs, whatever and destroy them. Ang mga droga destroy them. Ang mga Abu Sayyaf, destroy them. Period.” Primacy of the Peace Process Drieza Liningding, SecretaryGeneral of the Bangsamoro National Movement for Peace and Development and chair of the Moro Consensus Group, told MindaNews that while they acknowledge the “threat and danger posed by these so-called terrorist groups whom in the past were tainted as colluding with some government agents,” they would like to appeal to the government to “respect the primacy of the peace process.” Liningding said that if the government is serious in neutralizing these groups, “they should seek the help of major Moro fronts,” referring to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) with whom government has signed peace agreements, “in combating terrorism and expand the mandate of peace mechanisms like the Ad Hoc Joint Action Group (AHJAG) which is mandated to interdict criminals in communities dominated by the MILF.” He noted that military operations against the Abu Sayyaf are near the camps of the MNLF while operations against the Maute Group are near MILF camps. He said there have been success stories “where the MILF drove out these rogue groups (and) in the case of MNLF, at one time Misuari group engaged the Abu Sayyaf in a firefight and were also instrumental in freeing some of the Abu Sayyaf ’s kidnap victims.” “The more the Government is unilaterally doing this, the more we suspect that these operations are just an excuse to further militarize the Bangsamoro areas,” adding , they “wish that a parallel all out peace by

so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. In your present status, how ready are you to face God if ever he is calling you right now to face him? Galatians 6:9-10”Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those implementing peace agreements be accelerated soon” because the “slow progress” has not been helping the situation on the ground. Before the meeting, President Duterte held a joint military-police command conference Sunday night. MindaNews asked Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Jesus Dureza if the military option was the only option left for the Mindanawon President, Mindanawon Peace Adviser, and Mindanawon Defense Secretary, in dealing with the terror groups. Dureza had yet to reply as of 9 p.m. “Takot ako sa kanila” In the Jan 29-30 midnight press conference, Duterte said there is a “full time military operation” against the Maute Group in Lanao del Sur, following reports that the Hapilon is already in the area. “Takot ako sa kanila (I am afraid of them) because historically they use bombs, bomb, IED and they did it several times in my city,” Duterte said, citing the latest, the Roxas night market bombing in Davao City on September 2 last year. The bombers, allegedly affiliated with the Maute Group, were later arrested. Duterte said violent extremism “would be the more dangerous thing for us. And I have ordered a full-press military operation kasi uulit iyan, uulit iyan (they will do it again, they will do it again). And if they are desperate enough they would resume bombing,” Duterte said. “Embargo the place, you contain them in that area alone, Lanao. Sana huwag nang lumabas sa ibang lugar. Diyan na lang tayo magbakbakan” (Hopefully we can contain the fighting there), he added. He said he asked the AFP to “use all available and all the weaponry that’s at our disposal” and sent an “urgent message to China to help us kung meron silang mga (if they have) precision-guided arms, they can give us a loan or….” (Carolyn O.

Sack...

from page A1 “Mindanao deserves nothing less” But Pimentel said the Philippine National Police (PNP) should file administrative cases against these erring personnel “so that they could be expelled from the PNP” or be sent “back to the Police Academy for reeducation and re-orientation of values.” He said he was expressing the “dismay and apprehension” of law-abiding citizens in Mindanao. “Mindanao should be treated by the PNP with the same respect that all Filipinos deserve regardless of their faith, their culture, and their economic status,” Pimentel said, adding the PNP must give Mindanao “the best men in uniform.’ “Mindanao deserves nothing less,” the Senate President added. Pimentel urged PNP Director-General Ronald de la Rosa to stop the practice of sending erring cops to Mindanao as part of his reforms in cleansing the 160,000-strong PNP amid complaints of police abuses in the government’s war against illegal drugs. Dela Rosa, like Duterte and

Pimentel, are from Mindanao. Pimentel said erring cops should “not be recycled and sent to far-away postings as punishment” because it will “merely transfer the problem, not put a stop to it.” “We need the best.. not the worst” Hataman said the ARMM is confronted with poverty, hunger, and the rise of terror groups “and we need the best of our country’s police on our side – not the worst.” He said erring law enforcers must be held accountable and penalized. Hataman explained that sending these policemen to the ARMM “is not a disciplinary action; rather it is a move that portrays our region as undeserving of dignified and dedicated public service.” Asked during the midnight press conference if sending police scalawags to Mindanao would solve the problem of corruption in the PNP, Duterte replied he wants a “strong presence in Basilan and in Jolo” and that those who do not want to be assigned there should get out of the police. “Ayaw mong magpa-assign doon? Umalis ka sa police,” Duterte said. As early as his first week in office, Dela Rosa had already

warned erring cops that they would be transfered to Sulu, Basilan and Tawi-tawi, a move criticized by fellow Mindanawons. Bias and prejudice “It reflects bias and prejudice,” Fatmawati Salapuddin, Commissioner representing Tausugs at the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) told MindaNews. “Dela Rosa comes from Mindanao, a Mindanao settler who still carries biases and prejudice against Muslims and yet we shared MSU (Mindanao State University) with him.” Dela Rosa spent a few semesters at the MSU main campus in Marawi City before he entered the Philippine Military Academy. Fr. Eliseo Mercado, Jr., former President of the Notre Dame University in Cotabato City, said, he hopes Duterte, the country’s 16th President and the first Mindanawon to lead the country, “will put an end to this practice.” “This is the usual practice and woe to poor provinces that deserve better…. The scoundrels and scalawags ought to be dismissed and NOT assigned to Sulu or Basilan or Tawi Tawi! These places deserve decent and good policemen snd women,” Mercado said. In a press briefing on July 4, dela Rosa said he would send scalawags “to Sulu, Basilan and Tawi-Tawi to fight the Abu Sayyaf.” Sharifa Pearlsia Ali-Dans, Assistant Secretary at the Department of Interior and Local Government in the ARMM, who hails from Sulu, said her province is “not a garbage can meant only for undesirables. What we need are officers with the zeal and dedication to restore public order, where everyone is safe and secure. This is the clamor of the people,”

Dans said in July. (Carolyn O. Arguillas / MindaNews)

UPLACFA has 35 active members most of whom are corn farmers and some cassava producers. PDI corn program coordinator Rico Galinato said personnel from the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) visited the association’s communal farm. “U P L AC FA h a s b e e n qualified to be a corn seed producer. They are now in the process of complying with administrative and technical requirements so they can start its bid to supply OPV corn seeds,” Galinato said. UPLACFA is the first corn seed producer in the region. Currently, Caraga sources corn seeds from other areas in Mindanao. Aside from the farm tractor, the association also received a mini corn mill. Corn is one of the leading staple foods in the island along with rice and root crops. Cagdianao has 80 hectares potential areas for corn farming.

I considered myself lucky being given the chance to read the book “Unleash Your Highest Potential” by Vic and Avelynn Garcia which presented remarkable topics. One that struck me was about the law of Atrophy. Encarta Dictionaries defines the medical term Atrophy as wasting away, the shrinking in size of some part or organ of the body usually caused by injury, disease or lack of use; weakening or lessening of some ability. In plain terms, the law of Atrophy suggests that what you don’t use, you lose! Undeniably, the law of atrophy is true in life. If a person considers himself inferior than others and limits the things that he does will forever be inferior. As a mentor, I should not content myself with the notion of retiring as Teacher-1. On my second year of teaching, I have let opportunities passed me by because I did not have that desire to improve and

enhance myself because I am content of receiving my salary and being teacher -1. At that time, I was apprehensive of accepting bigger responsibilities thinking that I can’t do it. However, this book opened my mind about the potentials that I possessed. I am now eager to accept responsibilities that can be a venue to unleash my expertise. No one is born stupid and dull. We are born with lots of potentials; ready to be discovered and be honed. In our workplace, we need to use and share our Godgiven talents and abilities. If you dream of becoming a great person, then use your ability and competence to achieve what you dream of becoming. If we won’t make use of this dexterity in us, we’ll eventually lose them. As the law of atrophy means that what you don’t use, you lose! God has bestowed a marvellous gift- your brain! Use it! Don’t let it go into atrophy!
