Koronadal eyes passage of speed limit ordinance KORONADAL CITY -Alarmed with the rising cases of road accidents here, a city councilor is pushing for the passage of an ordinance that would set speed limits for vehicles plying the area’s major streets and highways. City Councilor Mark Lapidez, chair of the city council’s committee on transportation, said Monday they are currently studying the possibility of setting minimum and maximum speed limits in the city to prevent road crashes or accidents. He specifically cited
accidents involving over speeding motorcycles that led to 22 deaths last year. Around 3,000 cases of road crashes were recorded in South Cotabato province last year, with 875 caused by over speeding. Koronadal City topped the list with 1,083 cases. “This (setting of speed limit) is timely and relevant as we see the increasing number of road crashes in the city, and of course the growing number of motorcycles, which is the major vehicle involved in road mishaps,” Lapidez said in See passage, page A7

Lopez said the generosity of the Chinese government is a step towards the realization of the current administration’s trust on education and the provision of basic needs to every single Davaoe?o.

Oras, mahalaga nga ba? Pagpatak ng orasan sa ikaapat ng umaga,tila nakatatamad bumangon. Paano kaya makapagsimula sa gawaing mahalaga? Sa halip na sayangin at Pagpaliban lang ang panahon, itingin akonang pasulong sa bagong araw na parating. Naranasan mo bang sayangin o hayaan na lang ang oras? pagpaliban at Pagbalewala lang? Paano kaya ito pahalagahan? lyan ang mga bagay na dapat nating Pagtuunan sa oras. Dahil oras ang kaagapay sa maagap, matiwasay na pakisalamuha at pakikipagkapwa sa araw-araw na karanasan.

Ang tao ay tila nabubuhay sa masalimuot at walang balance sa gawain saan mang dako, sa eskwela man o sa trabaho kapag oras ay di pinahalagahan.Kaya sa anumang sitwasyon, importante ang pagbibigay-halaga sa oras.

Intensifying the DepEd Child Protection Policy By Lucille N. Quiriado Libona National High School
According to DepEd Order No. 40, s. 2012 re Policy Guidelines on Protecting Children in School from Abuse, Violence, Exploitation, Discrimination, Bullying and other Forms of Abuse and pursuant to the 1987 Constitution, that the State shall defend the right of children to assistance, including proper care and
nutrition, and special protection from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation and other conditions prejudicial to their development (Article XV, Section 3 [2]). Thus, the Department of Education, in collaboration with its partners and stakeholders, shall ensure that all schools are conducive to the education of children. The best interest of the child shall be the paramount consideration
in all decisions and actions involving children, whether undertaken by public or private social welfare institutions, courts of law, administrative authorities, and legislative bodies consistent with the First Call for Children, as enunciated in the Convention in the Rights of the Child (CRC). Moreover, the Department recognizes that cases of abuse may arise as a result of the difficult situations faced by
Parental Role for Child’s Misbehavior By Michael I. Galleros, Teacher I Lumintao Elementary School Lumintao Quezon, Bukidnon
“I value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control”, says Tim Ferris. Misbehavior of a child is the most common problem of the parents nowadays, some might say that they that disciplined is the best way to correct the behavior of a child but discipline
means a lot of things. Let’s have the dictionary defines discipline as punishment inflicted by way of correction and training. But nowadays punishing a child is prohibited by the law you can be imprison for punishing a child. What’s the parent supposed to do if the kid is going crazy and won’t listen? A small smack or a spanking
seems only appropriate. If you slap them across the face, or punch them it’s a different story. Hitting your children can cause them to misbehave and eventually start hitting other kids, thinking it’s just okay. As a child I was hit for my misbehavior and it caused my mother abusing me. Hitting your children can easily get carried away. Abuse is different from discipline. There are abusive parents out there that strongly
teachers and other officials within and outside school. With this, as a teacher, we must be well-equipped and well-informed about this policy so that we would be able to be fully guided on the pros and cons of our courses of actions. As we are a learner-centered public institution, the welfare and common good of our learners should always be on the top of every situation. believe they’re doing the right thing by beating up their child, but other parents are very good at disciplining their children without having flared up. Some kids nowadays don’t respect their elders and misbehave. A slap on the hand or small spanking can always straighten any children who misbehave. “Action speaks louder than words”, as long you do not go too far as to beat the kids because punishment should be a small spanking or slap on the hand.

EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT By Lelybeth M. Paguta – Teacher I Zubiri Village Elementary School Quezon I District
Education is the pillar of modern society and as such is the backbone to creating participants in the nation development. Education is the principle instrument awakening the child to cultural values and is the strongest development and growth of a child in preparing him to be responsible, intelligent, strong and healthy citizen. Realizing the importance of education many developing countries adopted policies that seek to increase the
availability of educational institution while encouraging enrollment and regular attendance. Students learning experience depends largely upon the classroom environment, availability of extra-curricular or classroom activity and the student’s workload. The imbalance of these elements may lead to school boredom and frustration.Students interest in school describe as their investment for the better future, but this is a very crucial invest-
ment for preparing students interest towards learning. Since disinterest leads to disengagement and may not develop the intellectual capacity, curiosity of challenges possessed by those who are interested. The implication of disengagement may hinder educational attainment, unemployment, economic instability. A students involvement in school is also dependent upon the behavior of teachers and parents. A good relationship of teacher, parent and student plays important role in education.
Transformational Leadership in Practice By Susan M. Ermac, T-I
Leadership is about saying “How can I interact and improve other peoples’ performance, is it by giving them enough motivation to keep them motivated and help them realize their potential?” A transformational leader is a type of person who is not limited by his or her followers’ perception. Instead they lead, challenge and inspire
their followers with a sense of purpose and excitement and also create a vision of what they aspire to be, and communicate this idea to others. They serves as an inspirational mentor who encourages workers to do better and be better. The transformational leaders are also outward looking,drive change in organizations, make things happen,have a clear sense of
direction and focus, develop a shared vision and bring people along with them,communicate positive expectations, accessible, approachable, honest consistent and act with integrity ,motivate and empower employees and help them cope with change. Its objective is to work to change followers’ needs and redirect their thinking and focuses on high expectations from employees. Typical be-
DENR-11 urges PENRO to start livelihood for families in eco-tourism sites MATI, Davao Oriental -Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) - Region 11 Regional Director Ruth M.

KALAHI Stakeholder By CRESTITA RUSSEL BACTONG LOBUSTA Teacher I Kalanganan Elementary School
BEFORE, the road going to our beloved Kalanganan Elementary School used to be made of dirt only with culverts littered on the side. Compounding our misery was the rain every now and then throughout the year since Kalanganan Elementary School is situated in the colder part of Bukidnon, particularly in the municipality of Baungon, right at the foot of Mt. Kitanglad. When rains become floods threatening our drains, kids were discouraged to go to school. Thus there used to
be a high absence rate in our school. Ironically due to the deluge, even we teachers and parents prevented the kids from going to school. Thanks to KALAHI, our bridges are now more elevated and the threat of flooding eliminated. The KALAHI engineers even caused the paving of the road here in Kalanganan. Because of their efforts, there is now high attendance rate among our schoolchildren. KALAHI was found to be especially effective in facilitating broad-based participa-

Learners from the city are different from the learners in the remote areas. In the city, learners are well-provided with books at school, new buildings, school supplies, foods and needs. They are well-supported with their parents because most of them are professionals. Some of them are not professional but still they have jobs that the salary can suffice the needs of the family. Learners are taught in advance at home. As they enter school, they
are very much ready to read and write. They are advance in learning because they have tutorials at home. Their nanny helped them with their home works. Their private teachers trained them well. Unlike with those learners from the remote areas that could hardly see a book at home. None of the member of the family can read and even write. No enough food to eat three times a day. Some of them can eat only twice a day. They crave for delicious viands because they could hardly eat like “adobo, roasted pig and fried chicken” and haven’t experienced to eat French fries from Jollibee. Who come to school

In Unity, there is strength! By CHERRIE MAE B. SAJULGA, Teacher I Zubiri Village Elementary School
It is a common fact that technology has played a significant role in the teachinglearning process. When appropriately and moderately used, its impact on the attention, sustained interest, participation of pupils and an optimum learning among pupils is not impossible. With all these in mind, Mrs. Cherrie Mae B. Sajulga initiated a Bayanihan partnership innovation project for the TV set to be realized and utilized in her class. Since, DepEd strongly upholds the “No Collection Policy” among the parents in the public school, the teacher innovatively create a partnership with her Central Mindanao University Laboratory High School (CMULHS) classmates Batch 2000 through their Facebook group “Walay Nahitabong Reunion Hangtud Karun”.

Indeed, the old adage “In unity, there is strength” is a binding rope to CMULHS batch 2000 in which the adviser is a member. The partnership that has been created was indeed fruitful, successful and significant to the learning of the grade VI pupils.

barefooted due to the lack of money and can’t afford to buy one. Some have slippers but they will just hold it with their hands or put them inside the bag because they are afraid that if they will wear it then it will be destroyed and can’t be replaced immediately. Few of them come to school with no pencils and papers. When the teacher will instruct them to copy something on their notebook, they will just write it on their papers because there’s no notebook at all. With regards to their performance, learners from the city are more active in the classroom and indulge at school activities. While the learners which come from
the remote areas have no retention. But let us clearly state this, “that not all of the city learners are good and not all learners in the remote areas are not good in their performance”. And, it doesn’t matter at all. All a teacher would need is to do his/her best on how to satisfy the needs of the pupils in terms of learning. Every learner has the right to know the things that he should have to. A child must be given all the knowledge and treated fairly regardless with his residence, color, age, race, belief or religion and ethnic group. All of them should be treated equally.
Nowadays, we are living in a world where cruelty is everywhere. Bullying and even killing are just ordinary news. All of these things happen because some believe that they are right and they must prevail. Humility is vanished and hypocrisy rules. If we tolerate these things and just let this happen, time may come that the world we have now will be gone and I don’t want this to happen. As an education student and a teacher someday, I believe that we can have a peaceful world and can attain peaceful lives if we just help hand in hand. We should start it with ourselves, as the song goes “let
there be peace on earth and let it begin with me”. Let us make peace and not war. Living in this world, human as we are, we commit mistakes, faults, and flaws but everything can be subject to change. Learn to admit your mistakes and never forget to say sorry. If somebody will say sorry, then who are we to reject it? Forgiveness makes our lives easier. It will also relieve our stress, thus it can make us look younger. If we learn to forgive and forget then we can achieve happiness. If in case you encounter a person, who is in the middle of his anger, just listen and understand, for understanding is the key to attain peaceful lives.
Moral Values for Students: A Necessary Part of the Curriculum ByIrenea D. Lumbab-Teacher III San Nicolas Elementary School Don Carlos District I
Why teach moral values ? When people talk about school curriculum about Math, Science, Social Studies, Language courses. Seldom do we hear or read moral values as being part of the curriculum. The problem is that the neglect of teaching moral values in school is hurting our students causing problem in society. If a person has never been learned any moral values, hoe is he/she discern the difference between right or wrong? That is basically the essence of Moral Values. Why moral values for students? As parents and educators
we should all advocate in our school the following reasons: we are preparing our children for their future role in society. Knowledge gained in the school is the only one goal of education .The primary goal of education should be enabling students to gain knowledge and moral values .Every day the kids are expose to violence, dishonesty, and other social media and the real world. Many role model of the young people are setting bad examples, so moral values plays a big role in the life of each individual of the students.

God sees the goodness of your heart The Gospel of Jesus Christ (February 23, 2017-Thursday) Lursuke 11:1-4 “Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.” And He said to them, “When you pray, say: `Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. `Give us each day our daily bread. `And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation: The beauty of praying is not to remind
God of what you need, but to remind yourself that you need God. You have a duty to communicate always to your heavenly father because you are his beloved child on this earth. You need to connect him constantly because this is the greatest way to have a good relationship with him. There are many relationships broken because of miscommunication. God is God of surprises.

“PRECAUTION IS BETTER THAN CURE” By IRENE JANOBAS
It is an old proverb which holds true in our daily endeavor. Practically in life, if all of us follow this saying, maybe there would be no prisoners, there would be no murderers and probably there would be no teenage moms. In every actions we will make, we are the one who are the main recipient for its consequences. All I want to say is that if we will make this saying us our basis maybe many of us will become successful
in the future. And maybe those who do not observe this principle are the ones who suffer even if they are intelligent and hardworking. The wisdom of this saying lies in the fact that it is better to be careful and not do something, than do that something and regret it afterwards. Many of us experiences failures in our lives because sometimes we are not so cautious with our actions. We could be happy in our lives if we will be responsible in our every decisions.

EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS IN EDUCATION By Glaiza F. Culita, T-I; Cabulohan-Paradise National High School - Annex
External stakeholders are the school community who are organized to support or implement SBM. They expand school wide support for the implementation of SIP (School Improvement Plan) priority programs and projects and continuously support school improvement institutionalized. The school cannot function as an effective station for learning if the system of management itself does not know its responsibilities. Teachers can do something for the fulfillment of learners’ knowledge but cannot pursue their goals without the support of external stakeholders. One thing that we should put in mind to every one of us that success in education
can be achieved if and only if each side of the group has only one goal. Unity is the best way that we can do and others will just follow. What we can do something in order to treasure the benefits that have given by the external stakeholders is to maintain good system of management in the school that will of course head by the administrator and so everything will be followed. Good relationship within the school can also bring it outside. Every good vibes led the school can create also good plans for improvement and may include external links. Having a good relationship can keep inside atmosphere long and better relationship.

ishment because of many reasons. Several of the reasons for this problem are; parents are too busy to prepare nutritious food for their children and have no time to watch over them during mealtime. Some kids don’t go home during lunch time so their packed lunches are mostly fried foods. Even their snacks are mostly junk foods and soft drinks. There are also children who can’t
and won’t swallow vegetable and timidly eat the prepared food for them. On the other hand, some of the malnourished children who came from poor families are usually thin, pale and have low performance academically because they are always hungry and have to skip from classes because they don’t have an allowance and even rice at home. When School Feeding

THE NEED FOR TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERS By CHERRIE MAE B. SAJULGA, Teacher I Zubiri Village Elementary School
An effective school leader can change the face of the school. Significant researches revealed that principals are the cornerstones in the enormously complex workings of a school. They assume huge responsibilities and perform varied roles that help shape the school system to run effectively. Such a post needs so much expertise and very good leadership style of providing direction, developing and implementing plans,
and motivating people. There are many different leadership styles that can be exhibited by leaders in the political, business, or other fields. One that is strongly encouraged in the Department of Education is transformational leadership. A transformational leader is a type of person in which the leader is not limited by his/ her followers’ perception. The main objective is to work for change or transform his/her followers’ needs and redirect their thinking. Leaders that
follow the transformation style of leading, challenge and inspire their followers with a sense of purpose and excitement, create a vision of what they aspire to be, and communicate this idea to their subordinates and followers. Undeniably speaking, in public schools today, school leaders exhibited different leadership styles. But, if one wants to significantly make a difference in order to be productive and successful in every educational endeavour, he has to be a transformational leader. It’s not yet too
The Role of Parents in Education By Susan M. Ermac, T-I
As observed in many public schools in the country parents are sometimes unsupportive to the needs of their children in school. They thought of sending their child to school is enough. Some of them do not give attention in providing them even complete sets of school supplies. This attitudes of parents towards their pupils’ education
make their kids discouraged and not motivated in going to school. It is said that family involvement is the strongest predictor of child educational outcomes and beneficial factor in young children’s learning. Home-based Involvement activities, such as reading to a child at home, providing a place for educational activities, and asking a child about
school, evidenced the strongest relationships to later preschool classroom competencies. These activities were related to children’s approaches to learning, especially motivation and attention/persistence, and were found to relate positively to receptive vocabulary. The parental attitude can be negative or positive. The negative attitude of the parents regarding education and
How To Motivate Your Students By Lelybeth M.Paguta -Teacher I Zubiri Village Elementary School Quezon I District
The best lessons, books and materials in the world won’t get students excited about learning and willing to work hard, if they are not motivated. Motivation, both intrinsic and extrinsic is a key factor in the success of the students at all stages of their education and teachers can play pivotal role in providing and encouraging
motivation in their students, of course, that’s much easier said than done. As all students motivated differently and takes time and lot effort learn and to get a classroom full of kids enthusiastic about learning. Working hard and pushing themselves to excel. Even the best educated teacher sometimes lack of skills to keep kids on track, so, whether
you’re a new teacher or an experienced one try using methods to motivate your students and encourage them to live up their true potential. While guidance from a teacher is most important to keeping on task and motivated, allowing students to have some choice over what happens in the classroom is actually the best way to keep them engaged. It can be frustrating for students to complete an assignment or
The significance of Music in Our Daily Lives By Cynthia T. Niala Cabuluhan - Paradise National High School
Music is the greatest creation of man, which touches the soul and also helps man to sympathetically manifest unspoken desire and humanity in him. The effect of music in man is what that separated him from other animals. Due to the high effect of music in the life of human being, it is
capable of breaking boundaries to unite people from different backgrounds and cultural heritage. This article is dedicated to pinpoint some importance of music. Indeed, due to the power of music in the heart and bone marrow of human being, it can draw millions of people from
different parts of the world and uplift them emotionally. For that reason, music can easily be used as instrument of peace when there is chaos between people of different origin and background. You can easily notice this particular effect of music when you have issue with your partner and he or she started playing music you love to hear.
late to become one! May those who are in the position today be a catalyst of change, the one who continually inspires and stimulates others to do more than what originally thought was possible. A kind of leader who knows how to empower his subordinates and acknowledges the significance of shared leadership for the welfare of the learners. Today is a high time to call the transformational leaders! Hopefully, many will respond to this call. schooling can prevent their children from getting education. With less parental support in school work, low level of motivation and poor self-esteem of children can result Positive attitude of the parents can be beneficial to their children in many cases and can be reflected in improvement in class performance, creating interest among children to learn, and higher achievement scores in reading and writing. even to behave in class, if there aren’t clearly defined objectives. Students want and need to know what is expected of them in order to stay motivated to work. Students even the best ones can become frustrated and demotivated when they feel like they’re struggling or not getting the recognition that other students are. Make sure that all students get a chance to play and valued. It can make the world of difference in their motivation. Whether you are music enthusiast or not, the best way you can express your feelings, anger, love, passion, joy and other kinds of feelings is simply through music. It is rightly said that when words and letters failed the best option is music. You will be able to express the intent of your heart through music which ordinarily may not be possible for you to either do in words or letters.

Gadgets for Students…. Right or Wrong? By MADELYN M. GINETE Special Education Teacher - I
DO 70, s. 1999Prohibiting Students of Elementary and Secondary Schools from Using Cellular Phones and Pages During Class Hours But, whether we like it or not, the use of modern technology is inevitable. Most of the students are using Android phones if not a laptop in schools. They are considered essential supplies for students nowadays. And in some aspects, we began to weigh the educational benefits, against the potential negative side of it that it is a huge distraction and can encourage cheating and untimely chatting during class hours. As the society is becoming more technologically advanced, education systems have to keep up with the trend for the better preparation of life outside the school life. Hence education system has introduced the electronic gadgets with the impetus for integrating technology standards for real life. As we can find that kids are more exposed to the digital devices and find it interesting to learn and play with these devices. Using electronics gadgets engages all the learning styles with audio, video, digital cameras, security de-
vices etc. The children are safe and secured learning through these devices with proper guidance.These gadgets have made the learning environment more engaging and interesting. The introduction of high-tech digital devices in schools make the teaching work easier than before. Due to the high-tech device, it helps to improve the quality of educations in today’s schools. Kids enjoy all the required privileges of learning with electronics gadgets. However, It is easy to become addicted to gaming, texting, talking on the phone or socializing online. Some students may attempt to do this in class, which disrupts their learning, and at home, it detracts from study time. Kids putting in long hours on their gadgets will give less attention to assignments and may be irritable when they are away from their gadgets. They might also sleep less, which can slow down their thinking the next day. Gadgets make study easier. If we use it in a constructive way with limited usage then it is definitely a good thing to be appreciated. However, anything that is used beyond its need and limits, it will definitely give us its adverse effects.
Gender and Development ByIrenea D. Lumbab-Teacher III San Nicolas Elementary School Don Carlos District I
“Development is the progressive realization of the capabilities, abilities and talents of each individual for his or her own satisfaction and enhancement of the social good...” − HE President Cheddi Jagan Life in the 21st Century promotes equality among men and women especially in terms of opportunity and development. In here, development should be broad-based in full sense. However, women often remained marginalized in the process. Their experiences as a group are far worse than men on a number of fronts, ranging from the incidence of poverty to protection under the law, and from access to health care to decision-making power. In most published articles, “Gender” is about the relationship between men and women. However, as defined by societal norms and practices, and supported by societal attitudes, this relationship is usually skewed in favor of men. This gender-based discrimination is both a cause and a consequence of deep-rooted disparities in society. Publication Notice R.A. 10172
In order for truer development to take place, gender-related issues should be addressed. There should be no room for discrimination. The abilities of women to do great things, make good use of decision-making power, and talents and skills among others should be recognize. Further, the state should give a unique opportunity to among women and to discuss things forward. Along with fully harnessing the overall human capital, might be male or female, people can hope to enhance the social good. It is important that the wide-ranging significance of gender issues is realized. As what the 1995 Commonwealth Plan of Action on Gender and Development states, a key strategic objective of government should be to “integrate gender in all government agendas, policies and programmes and create a culture within government which is gender-sensitive and where gender issues become the responsibility of all.” GAD is implemented already. However, it needs to be strengthen in a way.

Earthquake Drill and Preparedness By Susan M. Ermac, T-I
It is important to orient people on earthquake preparedness in order to be aware on what to do before, during and after this phenomenon. During an earthquake, school children are one of the most defenseless. In that way, it is important for teachers to be informed how to conduct an earthquake drill.
Zubiri Village Elementary School has implemented the earthquake drill every year. This is a region wide activity. A day before the drill, the teachers in Zubiri Village Elementary School headed by the School Disaster Risk Reduction Coordinator Mrs. Avita Y. Libardos oriented the pupils on what to do when an earthquake come. During the
drill, the teachers ring the bell once. If teachers and pupils heard it they cover their head and hide under the table. The ringing of bell continues teachers and pupils duck and went to a safe and open place. After that, children formed their lines in an open area and still cover their head and duck. Then, each pupil in every section counted and

The children cooperated well as the drill is going on. The children participated as if it was real. The teachers were happy because the pupils have knowledge on what to do during real situations.

THE K TO 12 PROGRAMS By Glaiza F. Culita, T-I; Cabulohan-Paradise National High School - Annex
The most highlighted and the latest educational program that has implemented in the Philippines was the K to 12 Program where it is covering the Kindergarten, six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School and another two years of Senior High School. The purpose is to provide mastery of skills,
develop lifelong learners, and to prepare them for tertiary education, employment and entrepreneurship. The additional two years or the Senior High level is a great help for learners to choose the right career through the given specific tracks (Academic, Tech-Voc and Sports and Arts) which are under the core curriculum (Languages, Literature, Communication, Mathematics, Philosophy,

In their professional practice, they model respect for spiritual and cultural values, social justice, confidentiality, freedom, democracy and the environment. We teachers must practice respect. Third was Integrity which embodies honesty, reliability and moral action. Continual
reflection assists members in exercising integrity in their professional commitments and responsibilities. Lastly was Trust which conquers fairness, openness and honesty. Members’ professional relationships with students, colleagues, parents, guardians and the public are based on trust. That is why all school still integrate the saying “Honesty is the Best Policy”. Once you master honesty, the trust and loyalty will live in the heart of the learners.

First, all teachers and staff must be oriented by the School Head regarding the plans and offers on Senior High School Program. Second, all teaching personnel must have enough knowledge and oriented on the things needed in teaching

BUREAU OF ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM By Glaiza F. Culita, T-I; Cabulohan-Paradise National High School - Annex
Most of the learners enrolled in the ALS were out of school youth, belonged from maturity age up to old, and under the low income members of the society. Through this system, they were given a great opportunity and chance to become educated and better members of the community. The government supported it
until the present is aiming to increase the literacy and skills development of the learners. It is not easy to deal with learners with different intellectual abilities and behaviors. Some of them were eager to proceed on to the next level of learning and some were just joined in the group because they were just influenced by their barkadas. Then after that, they stopped at the middle. So as a teacher, whether in public
or in ALS, we need to practice our class management by updating and adapting good and effective possible strategies in order to decrease the dropping out routine of the learners and to maintain the number of learners at the end. Teachers should also get emphasize on knowing and understanding the background of each of the learners so that we could make steps to do something better for holding and maintaining the
Importance of Sports in our Life By Cynthia T. Niala Cabuluhan - Paradise National High School
A healthy nation is always a wealthy nation. Therefore, it is necessary to put emphasis on sports. One can think of a healthy mind only in a healthy body. Both physical and mental well being are the prerequisites of great achievements in man’s life. History shows that young men who excelled in the field in sports could prove
their worth in the battlefield as valiant soldiers in later life and get the laurels of victory. Sports are the sources of recreation and a sense relaxation in a life of monotony. Children from their start must realize the utility of sports and games. Drills and other methods of physical fitness should be introduced from the beginning by well trained teachers and coaches.
The necessity of sports is felt to be so great in life that impart a sense of discipline, fellow-feeling and togetherness. They teach the value of time and how it is important to note how a minute, a fraction of a minute and even of second decides the fate of a young sportsman in the field of competition.

The graduation month is fast approaching and this is the time when teachers are finalizing the list of graduating students. But sad to say, every year there are students who can’t be part of the graduation because of failure due to absences, and not passing the required average grade. There are a lot of reasons
for students’ failure. One of the reasons is, the school does not satisfy students’ interest. They tend to look for activity to pour out their energy, and enthusiasm such as computer games, and sports. Some left school to prioritize job rather than their studies because of poverty. Planting and harvesting in the farm, preparing ingredients
for the cafeteria, working in a shop, selling fish with parents, and watching over the store are few of the responsibilities given to the so-called students turned to workers. Family obligation compromises their studies such as older siblings have to take care their siblings so that their parents can work. In some way, if a member of the family gets sick they are obliged to take care of the sick. Some

Teachers must do something which could uplift their capabilities and determination in doing responsibilities in order to help learners achieve what is right for them and mold their personalities as good citizen in the community. capable of meeting the challenges in future life. The greatest educational value of the sports and games is to provide stimulation for study and for hard work. It is not the sound and the fury that counts but effort in the right direction to make a mark. Keeping this in view, it is high time that we spot out our sports talents and provide all necessary facilities to train them properly so as to enable them to compete with world champions with no feelings of diffidence. students have to be absent from class because they have to do chores at home. The distance of school from home also hinders the attendance in school because they have to walk 3 km or more and others have nothing to eat or allowance to bring. But above all these reasons, if parents are determined to have their children finish school then they will find ways to bring back their children to school.

My Success Story as a Special Education Teacher
By MADELYN M. GINETE Special Education Teacher - I
Being a successful teacher depends on many things, not a few of which derive from personal characteristics, attitudes, and commitment for the teaching profession. Of course, a demonstrable aptitude for helping students grasp new material, information and concepts goes without saying. That said, there is no “one way” to become a successful teacher. There are commonalities, however, and key attributes that most successful teachers bring to their pedagogical practice. On my own, I really don’t know if I am really that successful in
my career as a special education teacher. But as I look back on how I started as a SPED teacher, I realized that the pupils that I have now, their accomplishments, are worth to be shared to others. I was a fresh graduate in Master of Arts in Education major in Mathematics Teaching when my school principal at that time approached and requested me to attend training for two months about special education. Without any hesitations, I accepted his request thinking that aside from free training in which I can learned a lot of knowledge, I can go to other places for a long time after my graduation last March 2010.
During our training, I realized that it is not that easy to handle children with special needs. I learned also that after the training, I need to implement the SPED Program in our school as stated in the Memorandum of Agreement. At first, I was really afraid and worried that I might not be able to provide the needs of these special children and thought of quitting. When I came back to our station, I even talked to our principal and asked him why he chose me. And he answered that because he found me to have a kind heart for these children. I don’t know why he said those words before. Maybe because he just want to encourage me and let me believe in myself that I can and he was successful with his strategy because those words were implanted in my heart and in my mind and made me realized that these special children needs a teacher that would understand them, and that’s me. So, at the beginning of the school year 2010 – 2011, I was very happy welcoming children with different special needs. I just can’t express my feelings at that time but I know that God was with me because I was able to handle children with different disabilities though I was just trained to handle children with visual impairment. I attended different trainings about special education for me to be equipped in handling children
with different special needs. I even share my learnings to the parents and my co-teachers for them to help also their children because I do believed that the best way to help these kind of children is for the people around them, specially their parents, siblings, and teachers understand and accept their situations. As a SPED teacher, I was very much grateful when I see my pupils that they gradually becomes independent despite of their exceptionalities. As of now, I have one Grade – VI totally blind pupil who is very determined to finish her studies someday. She is Cherry and she was able to join the Palarong Pambansa thrice already and me as her coach and I am happy that she is also qualified for the Palarong Pambansa this year at Antique this coming April 2017. She started schooling when she was 12 years old, that was the time that we opened SPED classes, and that even the word boy/girl, she don’t understand the meaning of it. Her question before, “Ngano dugay man naay SPED dinhi Maam? Karon pa hinuon ko nakaskwela nga dako nako”, gave me more strength and courage to continue as a SPED teacher, especially during those times that I almost want to give up. Now, she can understand Tagalog and English words and still learning more words. She did not stop in fact, she loves to read books. She can manage

also to walk independently from my classrooms to some of her classrooms in our school. I also had one grade four totally blind pupil who is very smart and always included on the list of honor pupils in her class. She started as a very spoiled child and diagnosed as ADHD. I considered her as a big challenge for me specially that most of her self-help skills were not yet developed. Now, she grown-up to be more matured and can control herself for being an ADHD. Another mainstreamed pupil of mine is diagnosed as child with autism. I could still remember when he started that every time he had something to say, he will kick my foot and do some actions with her hands. He is echolalia. He is also organized when it comes with his things. He is now a Grade five pupil and I am very happy because most of the comments of the teachers in his regular class are positive. He can even express his needs or feelings by saying simple sentence. I also had a pupil once who was diagnosed with learning disability who is now in high school. I always share to her before a successful student that was introduced to us during the SPED Congress at Cebu who is also suffering learning difficulties for her to be inspired and not lost her hopes. And now I am happy to see her on facebook in which she can post and comment to some posts. She is happy now with her high school life and felt belongingness to the community she had and we Publication Notice R.A. 10172
became really good friends. They were just some of my pupils that I handled when I was transferred to the SPED classes. I considered them as my treasures and I am always thankful for having them because I know that they are also blessings. They need to be loved just like the other children. That’s why, all of my pupils, I considered and treated them as my own children. Aside from teaching them academically, I always remind them also the real life situations for them to be prepared in the future. I really disciplined them just like the regular children if necessary. And I am happy because though it is not that perfect, but I know I was able to touch and change their lives and attitude. I am forever grateful to all the people who gave me chance to become a SPED teacher (because not all teachers are called to be one) especially to our Almighty God because I was able to be part of the lives of these so called children with special needs. With these, I considered myself as successful with the profession I chose to take. My goal as a SPED teacher is to help these children to become independent and be accepted and treated well in the community. I will be very happy seeing them to have good accomplishments in their own little way. Thanks God for always giving me the strength, courage, inspiration, hope, will and power to help these children with special needs to achieve their dreams in life.

He is a native of Agusan del Sur province. “Hardships and fear within the communist organization following the relentless combat operations of the military pushed Mar to abandon the movement to live a new life,” Batchar pointed out. What Mar feared of is the warning of death given by their leaders once a member of the movement decides to leave. “Mar now feels more secure in the custody of the military,” Batchar said, pointing out that a number of Mar’s comrades are also planning to bolt the movement at any opportune time. Batchar added that Mar is now undergoing custodial debriefing and validation for enrolment to the Comprehensive Local Integration Program (CLIP) for rebel returnees. Brig. Gen. Macairog S.

a radio interview. Dr. John Julliard Go, a World Health Organization representative in the Philippines, supported the move, noting that “peed is an important risk factor in road safety.” “Soccsksargen is among the regions with high incidence of road mishap in the country,” he said, citing a report from the Philippine Statistics Authority. Region 12 or Soccsksargen comprises the provinces of South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and North Cotabato, and the cities of General Santos, Koronadal, Tacurong, Kidapawan and Cotabato. In 2014, the municipality of Tupi imposed a 40-kilometer per hour (kph) for vehicles passing a major stretch of the national highway at the town center. The speed limit was patterned after the same regulation implemented by
Davao City. Polomolok town had also set a 50 to 60 kph speed limit along portions of the national highway traversing the town proper. Prior to the imposition of the speed limit, the Tupi municipal police station said an average of 500 road crashes were recorded every month in their main roads. But last year, only 60 road accidents were reported in the area. Lawyer Sophia San Luis, Imagine Law executive director, said Tupi and Davao City are among the local government units (LGUs) in Mindanao that have high success rates in terms of the implementation of speed limits. Imagine Law has been helping LGUs develop speed limit ordinances. The group is currently working on template ordinance that may be adopted by LGUs.(PNA)

EDUCATION FOR ALL
By Glaiza F. Culita, T-I; Cabulohan-Paradise National High School - Annex
Education for All or EFA Program focused on the early childhood care and development where they taught learners from their childhood stage and starting develop learner’s intelligence and discovering skills. In that way, they could provide universalization of quality primary education. They provide continuing education and eradicate illiteracy until learners become independent and skilled. These alternative non-formal education delivery schemes were developed and implemented for selected cultural communities. Some major targets they want to minimize were about poverty, climate change and devastating disaster and armed conflict threats to the safety and security of school. Poverty because we know Philippines became one of the countries in Asia reported
as belonged to poverty line due to the inconsistent management of our economic system.Climate change and devastating disaster because young learners are soon to be the leader of their community. If majority of the children not educated regarding our environmental situation, probably they cannot help conserve our environment and may violate the rules and destroyed causing it to experience climate change and devastating disaster. And also armed conflict threats may also happen in our country because if young learners do not understand the impact of education and the illiterate in analyzing the situation in our community, probably they would be recruited by the new people’s group and become the theaters of the people causing it to have armed conflict threats to the safety and security of community included the school.
DROP-OUT INTERVENTION PROGRAM
By Glaiza F. Culita, T-I; Cabulohan-Paradise National High School - Annex
Policymakers in most developing countries are concerned about high dropout rates and poor student learning in primary education. The government of the Philippines initiated the Dropout Intervention Program in 1990–92 as part of its effort to address these issues. This Drop-out Intervention Program (DIP) provides multi-level learning materials, ensures parentteachers partnership, conducts school feeding activity and provides school supplies for the selected leaner beneficiaries in order to reduce drop-out and improve achievement in schools. Most of the schools experienced drop-out system where the students’ population from the start had decreased at the end of the school year. This situation was now discouraged by the school heads and informed teachers to aim for achieving zero drop-out rates by the end of the school year. If these would be followed,
there are more learners given an opportunity to finish and pass to the next level of learning in a right period. Drop-out Intervention Program aims to decrease the drop-out rate by the end of the school year and improve achievement rate in school. These would be successful if the government does ways to make this program reinforce and become practice to the teachers involved in classroom management to develop their capacities and strategies maintaining the zero drop-out rates. Though it finds challenging because there were some factors to be more considered by the teachers before proceeding to decisions but if the government could find ways also to maximize the budget for every school, providing all important needs of the students, possible that the learners will encourage themselves to pursue schooling than to stop and find job or stop because they don’t understand the essence of education.
EDUCATIONAL INNOVATIVE
By Glaiza F. Culita, T-I; Cabulohan-Paradise National High School - Annex
There were four key terms to characterize educational innovation. It was about to change, development, novelty in a sense that it implements new program for the system, and improvement in a way that applies changes in order to progress. Applying innovation may cause critical incidents such like all practices that are seemed unsatisfied and thought it as a problem at first. It may also connect with the history of innovation in language teaching (Wagner, 1988: pp.99). It may also change of agents and their strategies in such a way that individuals act as catalyst for change. It can be found among administrators, teachers and even students. Other may include consultants, evaluation team, and other recognized by the educational culture. Initiation, implementation, and continuation were
the three broad phases involved in educational innovation. Initiation should begin with a diagnosis of the problem facing the system and a prescription for improvement of that situation. Implement initial attempts and put it into practice. And continue the time which change is either accepted, built in and adopted over a period of time, or be discarded. The government is looking for the improvement of our countrymen in terms of educational attainment. But there’s no time to see that we could grab the opportunity being successful because sometimes there are instances to consider that the government cannot give all specific needs just to provide good quality education to the learner. There some periods that they need to be trained and mastered their responsibilities to ensure there are good outcomes.

Benefits of a Healthy Lifestyle By Cynthia T. Niala Cabuluhan - Paradise National High School
Lifestyle should be a way of living, and not just a temporary fix for a cold or to negate a gluttonous weekend. Once you get into the habit of maintaining a healthy routine, you will be able to see, feel, and experience the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. There are significant and long lasting benefits in im-
proving the way you live to ensure that you live a healthy and long life. The benefits of a healthy lifestyle can be broken down into two parts: the benefits of an active lifestyle and the benefits of eating well. Let’s take a look at both of these to give you some insight and incentive into changing the way you live.
Some people would be surprised to find out that exercising does not benefit your physical appearance, but also your mental health, relationships, and overall happiness. Regardless of whether or not you are an athlete, here are some ways that exercise can improve both your cardiovascular and mental health. After a long day of work or studying, sometimes the last
The Value of Catechism at School By Maria Denia M. Matabalan, T-III Maramag Central Elementary School
The majority of the school’s population is Christians but many of these kids don’t go to church with their family. So, the need for catechism and other religious instruction is valuable for the growing kids because even how parents, teachers and other people teach them the appropriate values to act in the society, it is just difficult to teach them what
they don’t observe in their environment. With the help of catechism, children are taught with facts about Christ, the values of Christianity and to grow spiritually. Even if we say that not all children appreciate their presence but several of these children are thirsty of hearing the words of God and to learn how to pray. Through catechism, chil-
dren are brought back to the church, were encouraged to pray and do good acts every day. They learn how to value God’s works and creations. Though catechism is purely on Roman Catholics but some children are not required and even prohibited to attend to their classes. Thus, children were able to identify themselves based on their faith and spiritual growth. Even if catechism is not required in school but every-
Reading- A tool to improve 0ne’s knowledge By Michael I. Galleros, Teacher I Lumintao Elementary School Lumintao Quezon, Bukidnon
Reading not only has tremendous power when it comes to fueling the development of all aspects of language ability, its importance to the entirety of a human life in this day and age really can’t be overstated. To help underscore this point, we initiate something to showcase on the power and
importance of literacy. Cut yourself a big piece of cake and read along with me… Reading is so important to motivate child interest in learning and to make studies more meaningful to him. Reading means a lot of things and it has purposes. Maybe it’s for learning or it just for fun, but there’s a hindrance
Curriculum Innovation By Alma A. Moreno – Teacher I Libertad Elem. School - Division of Bukidnon
Innovations are the processes in translating an idea into a desirable output in which the one who innovates create additional ways on how to improve it and make it more fruitful and effective in order to satisfy a specific need. Being
innovative is about looking beyond what we currently do well, identifying the great ideas of tomorrow and putting them into practice. Innovation gives chances to our leaners to learn at their own pace in the way they will do it out of their best.
In classroom and school settings, conflict is natural, necessary and normal. How we manage conflicts determines whether it is functional or dysfunctional- productive or destructive, and of course, there are a variety of conflict styles that each have advantages in each situation. Collaborative approaches to conflict are most likely to protect the relationship.
Conflict is natural. Conflict to differing degrees, occurs daily in everyone’s life. However, effective implementation of conflict management strategies requires various skills and abilities for addressing conflict.

body knows its value in our spiritual well being. Teachers may not only teach the academic subject but also good values nonetheless, the role of the catechism is greatly appreciated because not all people are blessed with skill or gift of a prayerful person and captivating the spiritual side of a person.

Making the lessons more lively, creative and full of life wherein learning is not a threat to our learners is making our curriculum more meaningful and fruitful.
Managing conflicts at school By Lucille N. Quiriado Libona National High School
thing you might want to do is run around at the gym. However, one of the most effective benefits of exercise happens to be stress relief. Working up a sweat and getting your endorphins running can help manage a person’s physical and mental stress by increasing the amount of norepinephrine in your brain.
