By Rod Sevilla Davao Regional Editor

DAVAO CITY -- An executive committee has been created by Mayor Sarah Duterte–Carpio to prepare for the 80th Araw ng Dabaw celebrations, through Executive Order No.3 dated Feb. 6, 2017. Mayor Inday Sara will be represented by City Administrator Suleika Lopez. This year’s private sector co-chair is Renato “Gatche” Gatchalian owner of Saging Republika and President of Davao Tourism Association (DATA) Vi c e M a y o r Pa u l o Duterte is the vice–chair while the members include City Mayor’s Office Chief-of-Staff Raul Nadela Jr., City Tourism Officer Regina Rose Tecson, Assistant City Administrator Tristan Dwight Domingo, City Accountant Vingelina Bajan and Councilor Al See dabaw, page A2

DAVAO CITY — The New People’s Army (NPA) in Southern Mindanao has agreed to talk with Davao City mayor and Presidential daughter Sara Duterte who earlier offered her “hand in peace” to the rebels. In a statement e-mailed to the media late Sunday afternoon, NPA-Southern Mindanao spokesperson Rigoberto Sanchez said they will suspend their operations for a few hours and order any NPA camp in the city and nearby areas to host

the talks with the mayor at a mutually agreed time and date. “The NPA would gladly discuss any matter that she would like to take up with the revolutionary movement, the duties and responsibilities of the people’s democratic government, the role of the NPA, the on-going all-out war of the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) and the GRP-NDFP (governmentNational Democratic Front of the Philippines) peace negotiations,” he said. He said they are look-

Davao envisions to become PHL’s cacao capital DAVAO CITY -- The Davao region is expected to become the country’s cacao capital especially when the five-year Davao Agricultural and Fisheries Development Plan 2018-2022 is completed. “Agriculture is one of the priorities of Mayor Sara Duterte and with her pronouncements we are confident that Davao will become the cacao capital of the Philippines,” said Councilor Marissa Abella, chair of the Committee on Agriculture and Food of the City Council. Abella said the plan was drafted as early as 2012 but it needs to be updated. Mayor Sara is set to issue an executive order reconstituting the technical working group to work on the plan. Hopefully, she said, cacao will be included in the plan as there should be a program that will focus on production, and the monitoring of the area’s cacao production. “Farmers need to have access to a state-of-the-art facility so they can come up with value added for cacao such as cacao liqueur and cacao butter for export,” she said. Cacao liquor is made from pure cocoa beans See become, page A7

ing forward to substantial negotiation with Duterte for the welfare of the masses. He said he was optimistic the mayor would “judiciously discern the realities of the civil war, not merely through the statistics of AFP casualties and its civilian victims but by seeing the imperative to address the roots of the armed conflict.” He said the talks would be “auspicious,” following the encounter between military and rebel forces last February 16 in Paquibato and Calinan Districts that

DATU PAGLAS, Maguindanao -- A newly designated battalion commander in Mindanao vowed to pursue anti-illegal drug campaign in support to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) following the discovery and recovery of almost PHP500 million worth of prohibited drugs from suspected big time drug lord in a remote village here Saturday.

Ryan Alejandre. The Executive Committee (Execom) members are appointed to plan smooth coordination of events, activities, and programs for the annual celebration. Greater participation from the private sector organizations is also encouraged. Funds for the celebration will come from the sponsorship of the private sector and from the city government of Davao, totaling P10 million, Mayor Sara said.

poration (NGCP) reported Mindanao posted a surplus of 436 mw. Among Mindanao’s major coal plants are the twounit 232 mw STEAG State Power Inc. and another two-unit 270 mw Filinvest Group’s FDC Utilities, Inc., both in Misamis Oriental. The first of two units of the Sarangani Energy Corporation was switched on last January 26, 2017 with President Rodrigo R. Duterte as the guest of honor. A groundbreaking for the second unit was also held on the same day. “Science is good but technology is expensive. And Mindanao has had a shortfall for so many years of energy. We cannot develop until we have the power. And power is sometimes being challenged from all sides,” he said at that time. For diesel, 59 mw Southern Philippines Power Corp. (SPPC) in Alabel, Sarangani, 32 mw SPC Power Corp., two plants of Therma Marine Inc. in Nasipit, Agusan del Norte and Maco, Compostela Valley with 100 mw each, 113 mw Western Mindanao Power Corp. in Zamboanga City, and 103 mw Mapalad Power Corp. in Iligan City in Lanao del Norte. Chinkie Pelino-Golle, executive director of the Environmental group Interface Development Interventions (IDIS) said this is a backward development “given the fact that we used to have higher percentage of renewable energy sources.” She said the govern-

ment opened Mindanao for non-renewable instead of maintaining the hydropower plants. “Instead of maintaining or enhancing it, the government opened the market for more non-RE sources that pose threat to people’s health and the environment. Even if they say they are applying the safe technology, we can’t really be sure of it. We don’t have the capacity and competence to conduct our own safety tests of these coal fired power plants,” she said. She alleged the DOE failed to implement fully the Republic Act 9513, or the “Renewable Energy Act”, which promotes “the development, utilization and commercialization of renewable energy resources,” because “it if does, the non-renewable energy (RE) sources may have not outnumbered the RE sources in Mindanao.” “We challenge them to present their RE plan as well as the concrete steps on how this will be implemented. They have to allocate funds for RE sources because this will help us gradually wean from hazardous energy sources such as CFPP (coal-fired power plant),” she said. She said they support the local industrialization and development but it should be done in a way “will ensure protection and sustainable utilization of our resources and ensure that the future generation will also have safe and healthy environment.” (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

She wanted this year’s celebration to be promoted locally and internationally through various media outlets. Included among the official events are as follows: Art Exhibit from Feb. 3 – March 23, at Museo Dabawenyo Duwa Dabaw; Misa Pasasalamat and Pasidungog Garbo sa Dabaw, an event honoring Dabawenyos; “Davao Life Is Here” logo- making contest; a women’s summit scheduled on March 3; Dabawenyo Ako, a three hour storytelling and presentation activity, which is about

Davao history, landmarks and programs, instilling Dabawenyos pride to selected elementary students from the District Schools of Davao. Also included are the Davao Red 80’s street party; Organic Agri Day; Civic Parade; and Mutya ng Davao. These events will be held on March 1, 3, 6, 10 and 13 to 15. Meanwhile, Tecson assumed that tight security will be implemented to ensure the safety of the Dabawenyos and tourists attending the festivities.

DAVAO CITY -- A total of six rebels of the New People’s Army (NPA) in the Davao region have surrendered to authorities, the Philippine Army has reported. One of the NPA rebels yielded to the Army in Compostela Valley last Thursday, and another five gave themselves up to authorities on Friday morning in Davao Occidental, 10th Infantry (Agila) Division chief information officer, Capt. Rhyan Batchar, said. Batchar identified the rebels by their aliases -Jany, 23; Rudy, 20; Richard, 25; Brix, 18; Bunso, 18; and Egan, 18. “We need to keep their identities as of the moment for security reasons. They are also being processed for possible assistance from the government,” he said. Batchar added that Jany, a resident of Calinan, Davao City, had served as squad leader of guerrilla front 33. He turned himself in to the 25th Infantry Battalion and the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Montevista town, Compostela Valley. Rudy, a team leader, and Richard are from Datal Anggas, Alabel, Sarangani province; Brix and Bunso, both residents of Pinalpalan, Malita, Davao Occidental, had served as team leader and vice-team leader, respectively ; and Egan, a resident of Pangaleon also in Malita town, was a squad political guide, who also turned over an M-16 Armalite rifle. The five, all members of guerrilla front 71 operating in the provinces of Sarangani and Davao Occidental, gave themselves up to troopers of the 73rd Infantry Battalion in Malita. Batchar said they decided to return as their families and communities all shared the difficulties they experienced while in the Communist movement. “The Communist leaders failed (to keep) their promises. Hardships and fear prompted them to return to the fold of the law. They are now in their respective custodial units for interview,” he added. Maj. Gen. Rafael Valencia, 10th ID commander, said NPA members are encouraged to return to the fold of the law and avail of the government’s program. “The NPA, which is never a people’s army, has become a nuisance propaganda army of the Communists, hence their members have become unwitting pawns of the aging CPP (Communist Party of the Philippines) leaders wallowing in the comforts of foreign lands,” Valencia pointed out. Batchar said a total of 33 NPA rebels have already left the Communist movement since February 1. (PNA)

Too Much Tech Harms Reading Retention in Young Children By AZENITH D. JONDONEROJ - II Pinamangguan Elementary School Pinamagguan, Kadingilan, Bukidnon

For today’s children, technological devices such as iPads, smartphones, and e-readers are quickly replacing more traditional “toys” as sources of learning and entertainment. With then- capacity to contain a multitude of activities within a single device, tech devices are the new norm and are being utilized from a young age. Many critics have explored the negative implications that technology

has on reading and learning, and while it may seem like iPads and other technological devices are a convenient way to keep young children entertained and distracted, it has also been shown that reading habits are negatively impacted when reading is done on a device. Technology overuse can contribute to developmental delays and decreased personal interactions and experiences that encourage the use of cre-

ativity and imagination. As a result, it is suggested that children’s exposure to technological devices should be limited. The advent of e-readers, handheld devices in which electronic versions of books and other reading materials can be read, has changed the world of reading. For the sake of convenience, many parents opt to give their children e-readers rather than physical books. E-books can be downloaded and opened with the click of a button. However, as Jabr (2014) points out, e-readers have few benefits for young children. A

Pragmatism Philosophy of Education By PATRONILLO A. BENTILLO San Luis National High School San Luis,Malitbog Bukidnon

Engaging students to love English more By Mona Liza G. Lacro

In the advent of the digital age and modern technology nowadays, it cannot be denied that the educators must as well maximize these to better off use it as a medium, as an avenue for the learners to learn more and eventually do more. Well, as for an English subject, most Filipinos love

English, many are fluent in it and almost can speak it. That is why, since most love English, given it is, as educators, the more we can do is to engage them more to love English, to more love it as a subject. Thus, classroom activities like role playing, stage drama or the like, having scripts in English is one of the dynamic classroom activities that would

TLE as a subject By Girlie L. Abejo

Teaching Technology and Livelihood Education is not as easy as A, B and C. Fundamentally, it requires patience, dedication and commitment as not all of the students have the same skills. There are those who are skilled and also there are those who are not. It is but a tedious task but I have been so passionate in teaching and advocating this. For example, if the students have learned a lot from school then there is a big chance that they will apply it in their homes. Beyond the classroom, they can be of great help to

their parents and relatives, be it in cooking, food processing, dress making, ICT, welding, beauty care, households, drafting, and electricity. With these skills, they can compete with the outside world eagerly. Let me specify one area, the beauty care. Beauty care, thus, teaches students proper hygiene and proper grooming, not only cleaning hand and foot nails but beauty care in general. It also implies that as a teacher or adviser of it, we must as well set as a good example of it. It further teaches students good discipline, not only in taking care of themselves, but other’s

not only develop the learners to be confident but they can also gain lessons and experiences as such expressing their feelings and emotions in English. Probably, at its jumpstart, may be not all students would cope with it or adjust but eventually they will and they can. Plus, there can be a lot more classroom and school activities that would engage them in so beauty as well. That is why, it has always been my inspiration and aspiration to change lives and impact and influence their lives to be better members of the society and the community. I am always happy to be at service to these young ones and see them succeed in their chosen fields and in their lives after school. I wish them all but the happiness and success and may they continue to preach what they have learned and share it with their fellows as well. TLE is a fun and learning-full subject plus you will have to learn great and new things, in short, TLE is full of surprises.

study found that when reading their three to five- year old children an electronic book with sound effects, parents had to pause in the middle of their stories to stop their children from playing around with the buttons on the screen. This type of distraction leads to lower retention rates and a lower attention span of the children as they were reading. Living in the digital age does not mean that parents are required to expose their children to technology practically from the moment of birth. now with the use of our cellular phones,we can easily contact our loved ones for just a second.Another is the use of typewriter as means of writing materials,but now,typewriter is no longer in use.The computer is already advanced and easily used because you can easily edit the text which do you think you need to change if our loved ones are working abroad,before we are using the telephone,but now we can see them talking by using the skype.So advancement of technology is very much in use. doing. More so, as educators of the 21st century and as an educator to the millennials, let us capacitate more and engage our students more, for us to bring the best out of them, for us to bring them into their aspired academic success. English is just only a one subject but this subject can change the outlook, the perspective of the students to the world. doing.

Special Education: Blending In By Janet C. Ardales – Teacher III Maramag Central Elementary School Maramag, Bukidnon

The awareness of Special education is slowly but surely growing. It all started way back S.Y. 2010 – 2011 with one speed teacher Mrs Maris Fe P, Papasin, courageously accepted and accommodated four types of disability right after her training specializing in teaching children with visual impairment. Today, the number of enrollees tripled, indicating that citizens of Maramag as well as other neighboring municipalities namely: Pangantucan,Don Carlos and Dangcagan are aware that the program exist and 4 more teachers were added. Each of these teachers have their own specialization which attracts parents and the guardian to enroll in Maramag SPED center. Parents together with their children who have disability are coming out. Knowing that there is a place for their children to learn together with the regular pupils without any sort of discrimination. A place where difference is not only accepted but is also celebrated.

Special education classes having a happy moment.

SPED pupils are now blending in and included in the regular curriculum. In fact, 3 pupils with visual impairment are now mainstreamed in the regular classes, 3 in grade 1 and 2 in grade 111 and 1 with autism is now grade 11. There are 6 pupils are in pull out placement, 2 in kinder and 4 in grade 1. SPED pupil teacher are hoping and praying to mainstream more pupils with exceptionalities in the regular classroom, Inclusion will not remain a dream.

They Must Be Treated Equally By Merilyn P. Gono Teacher I Dominorog Elementary School Talakag District II Division of Bukidnon

An individual is unique. He may differ from the other with regards to name, gender, age, behavior, ambition, desire and etc. Siblings have the same family name but they are different with their visions in life, attitude, and intellectual capacity. Some people like identical twins have the same physical appearance but they really differ in some other cases like talents, dreams in life, and even with their likes and dislikes. At school, children have different names, ages, behaviors, faces, physical appearances, talents and intelligence quotient. They come from families with different races, dialects or languages, ethnic

groups and economic stabilities. Yes they are different from each other but they come to school for one reason. They need to be at school to learn the things they should have to know. So, in spite of these differences, they should be given the chance to go to school and learn. They have the right to be at school during their school age to interact and play with their classmates regardless with their differences. Teachers have the responsibility to accept them whole-heartedly at school and teach them the things that they should have to learn and experience. These children should be treated fairly and equally by teachers at school and the people in the community.

Information & Communication Teaching: A Trend of 21st Century Instruction By Ederni M. Khu Balingasag Central School

C hi ldren are visua l learners. They learn fast when they see it and touch it. Aside from being visual learners, children love playing games. With these characteristics of the 21st century learners, the teacher has a very significant role in dealing and handling these children in this kind of classroom setting. As a teacher, one must keep abreast of the latest

trend in teaching. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is today’s trend in education. The use of ICT devices in the classroom help the teachers in delivering the academic instructions to the children. The use of television, DVD players are oftentimes useful to illustrate Science topics through short videos. Moreover, the Department of Education has a computerization program in which the department distributes computer packages to ev-

ery school. This computer package is placed in an eclassroom. It is manned by a computer literate teacher. The computerization program of the department continues and gives more support in the so-called e-teaching, which means teaching using electronic devices as instructional aid. The Depar tment of Education envisioned that Philippine education will align to the global trend of education and it competitiveness.

You will question Him for allowing the pains The Gospel of Jesus Christ (February 27, 2017-Monday)Matthew 16:2428”Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in

exchange for his soul? “For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: Can you give up everything for the sake of God? This kind of service is advice only to a single person to leave everything. But for us married, this is not applicable to leave everything because it will damage the future of our

children. Being married, it is not easy to balance your life to serve God and find money to survive. This is what I believe that doing this double task is the same in carrying our own crosses in life. On the other hand, salvation is only for the strong and brave people who are willing to face the different challenges of life. Those who are afraid to die for the sake of God have no room in heaven unless repented. 2 Timothy 1:7”For

God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. Are you courageous to offer your life for the salvation of others? Are you brave to tell others about the goodness of God? If you have this courage, starts it right now. God wants to see you positive in handling yourself. You need to focus your interest to inline with the interest of the living God. Sometimes you will come

Biblical reflection to the point that you will misunderstand our God for not helping you in times of your sufferings in life. You will question him for allowing the pains and misfortunes.

Mayor Renante Inocando of this town recently expressed commitment to support the promotion, production and utilization of Adlay, a rice-like indigenous cereal crop which is seen with potentials to actually substitute rice. In a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the

rural development action plan and project (RDAPP) entitled – Institutional Mobilization and Industry Cluster Organization of Adlay Stakeholders for Food Security and Agri-Enterprise Development, the Cabanglasan Chief looks at further empowering his farming constituents and communities thru the establishment of Adlay-based agricultural production areas

Adlay is an indigenous cereal crop that can be cooked as an alternative to rice. It is also processed into food- and non-food products that can provide added income to product processors. Earlier, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)-Bukidnon Director Ermedio Abang has committed to support the conduct of trainings on the production of Adlay-based products and market-linkage support to Adlay product processors in Cabanglasan in line with the DTI’s one-townone-product advocacy. Supporting these developments, the Department of Agriculture-10 thru Research Division Chief and Adlay National Technical Working Group (TWG) Chair Juanita Salvani has also pipelined a region-wide research, development and extension project that will further spur and sustain Adlay production and utilization as a staple food and commercial crop. A Memorandum of Understanding among institutional stakeholders from the DA, DTI, LGU-Cabanglasan, Adlay farmer-representative, MPM-RD students and other partners has been inked in a mutual commitment to address food security particularly in the realization of Adlay-based sustainable livelihood and development of enterprises in Northern Mindanao.

in the municipality. Cabanglasan, which is a major corn production municipality in the province of Bukidnon, is seen as a viable area for Adlay production. “We are opening doors for more Adlay production endeavors especially for our lumad farmers,” Inocando said. Adlay may not be as popular compared to rice and corn, but it has high potential as an additional Filipino staple food crop. He further cited the health and nutritional benefits of Adlay which may be used as substitute of rice in preparing traditional household recipes such as Champorado, or Adlay caldo, and as snack servings in feeding programs

as a food and commercial crop. The DTI has also commitment to support farmers in linking their Adlay and Adlay-based products to more markets. “We are encouraging the serving of Adlay, aside from rice, in food service industries – carenderias, canteens and cafeterias. This will promote Adlay and further ensure sustained demand for its utilization as a rice alternative not only in the households, but also in cafeteria businesses,” Macabugto said. In support to the Research and Development programs and RDAPP on Adlay, DA-10 Research Division Chief and National Adlay Technical Working Group (TWG) Chair has also committed the conduct of

a series of information, education and communication (IEC) activities for the pipelined Region-10 Adlay Awareness Month this September 2017 which will highlight Adlay’s importance in attaining food security and in opening Adlaybased sustainable livelihood and development of enterprises in the countryside. The RDAPP has lined-up sub-events to include campaigns for the public, Adlay producers and policy-makers; poster-making, Adlay recipe-making contests, among other activities for the month-long Adlay awareness activities on September.

DPWH wants inspection of buildings before re-opening SURIGAO CITY - The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has advised against the reopening of any buildings here until after they were checked by engineers. DPWH Assistant Secretary Dimas Soguilon issued the advice following a round of inspection of government projects with Regional Director Danilo Versola three days after the February 10 earthquake struck here and caused the crumpling of façade of some buildings and severe cracks to concrete structures. Soguilon directed structural engineers to declare in full details the structural conditions of all public buildings along with the issuance of expert certification. At least seven people reportedly died and more than a hundred were hurt when the 6.7 magnitude earthquake shook this city

at 10:03 pm. “The advisory is to seek first full detailed inspection by a structural engineer with recommendation for repair and rehabilitation or total closure and reconstruction before any public building is re-opened for public use,” Soguilon said. He added, “This recommendation applies to all private and public buildings, especially schools, bospitals, malls, and terminals that were badly affected because we have observed that the damage may worsen through periodic aftershocks.” An inspectorate team from members of the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE) and Association of Structural Engineers in the Philippines (ASEP) arrived on February 13 to assist in the conduct of damage assessment after DPWH Secretary Mark Villar, during his visit here on February 12, ordered the

Laws vs. porno, trafficking of minors pushed CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- The City Council committee on women and family relations in Cagayan de Oro is pushing for the enactment of ordinances against pornography and trafficking of minors. At the recent meeting, the committee, headed by Councilor Edna M. Dahino, continued its discussions on the proposed ordinances against pornography in relation to Republic Act 9775, and the travel ban for minors. Atty. Donald D elegencia of the City Legal Office suggested that the committee make a separate ordinance prohibiting inns, motels, hotels and other establishments from accommodating minors who check-in with someone who is not a family member. One possible penalty for violation thereof, as

suggested by another lawyer participant, could be the revocation of the business permit. As t h i s d e ve l op e d, councilor Dahino asked the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the City Social Welfare and Development Department, the Cagayan de Oro Hotel and Restaurant Association, the National Bureau of Investigation and the Cagayan de Oro Travel and Tours Association to help the committee in drafting the proposal on the matter. “Ato kining paspasan p ara magamit k ini s a atong kapolisan (We will hasten this so the police could use this),” Dahino said. The committee will hold another meeting as soon as the proposals from stakeholders shall have been submitted. (EF/SP)

To Be a Teacher is To Be a Well-Rounded Person By Merilyn P. Gono Teacher I Dominorog Elementary School Talakag District II Division of Bukidnon

To be a teacher is not easy. He must teach the children all the knowledge he has. But, the task loaded on his shoulder is not only like that. He should be a researcher for more strategies and techniques that will effectively lead him to success upon delivering his lesson. He will be acting like an actor on the stage upon sharing a story to the children. He will be a doctor or nurse who gives first aid for those children who suffered headaches and stomach aches inside the classroom. To be an adviser to those students who needs to be advised of. He serves as a nanny to a child who may pee on his pants. Or act like an attorney who defend the right of his student from accusations from other children and advise him if he’s guilty of. Like a janitor that will clean the room inside

and out when he’s assigned to the kindergarten level. To be a driver on his own car or motorcycle in going to school and going back home. As a photographer in school activities who takes pictures for documentation purposes. To be a speaker for other schools during graduation programs in order to encourage children to pursue their dreams in life and never give up on it. To be a writer for articles published in a newspaper. To be a fashion model who will wear his uniform with proper grooming. To be a student at a graduate school to broaden his knowledge with regards to the teachinglearning cycle. As a provider who will give papers, ball pens and pencils to their students who don’t have any of these. And finally, to be a parent to all children who are under his care. That’s the role of a teacher. It’s not merely teaching alone but to be everything for the children he cared at school.

HOW DOES POVERTY INFLUENCE LEARNING By Anita T. Damaolao - Teacher III Quezon Central Elementary School

Poverty often place constraints on the family’s ability to provide other materials resources for their children as well. They may have limited access before or after school care, and limited physical space in their home to create private or quite environment conducive to study. They may not own computer or have the fiscal resources necessary to complete class project. Mobility often places another kind of constrain on the family. The ability to provide students often move from one place to another because the parents are in search of work. Frequent moves almost always has a negative academic and social

impact in student. Much is known about the far- reaching influence of poverty on the students learning and understanding of these factors provides invaluable knowledge to educators who live on the effort to support to teach students who lives in poverty, to the century, it leads to empahty and understanding of the differentiation and support that students may need high expectation. When children and adolescents know that their teacher care about them and are trying to do their best to relate the realities in their lives, they become more inclined to trust and actively engage in learning.

DepEd, DPWH to construct additional quake-resilient school buildings in 2017 By AZENITH D. JONDONEROJ - II Pinamangguan Elementary School Pinamagguan, Kadingilan, Bukidnon

PRIOR to the 6.7-magnitude earthquake that hit the province of Surigao del Norte, Education, Secretary Leonor M. Briones has met with officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to reconstitute the joint Technical Working Group (TWG) on the Basic Education Facilities. This is to target the prompt execution of school-building construction under the 2017 budget of the Department of Education. A memorandum of agreement provides the roles and respon-

sibilities of the DepEd and the DPWH in the implementation of the School Building Project. It also discusses the technical and financial system to be followed in the implementation. On February 10 the quake jolted Surigao, causing damage in the following schools: Caraga Regional Science High School, JR Clavero Elementary School, Ipil Elementary School, Mariano Espina Memorial Central Elementary School, Surigao City Elementary School, Suklayang Elementary School, Mat-I Elementary School, Cabrera Altres

Educating the young minds By Mona Liza G. Lacro

Educating our youth, our young and active learners does not only contend and end in the four walls of the classroom but a lifetime. As said, the way the youth are being brought up at home or at school will be their ways when they grow up and it will have a

great impact for the rest of their lives. Hence, we have to educate them as young as they are. As teachers stand as second parents and acts as parents of the children in school, it does not mean that it is only applicable inside the school premises. It is applicable, again, for a lifetime. In school, these learners

Teaching Beauty Care By Girlie L. Abejo

One of the areas being specialized in the Technology and Livelihood Education is the beauty care. Wow, probably teachers teaching it have an advantage because everyone is concerned about beauty and of course, they care about it and further, they are being conscious of what and how they look. Everyone

wants to look fabulous and beautiful. And I say, God has created the human kind all beautiful and fabulous. But, how can we teach beauty care? First, we must set as a good example to them. Show them how should an educator dress and groom and then better off transpired it to them, pass it to them that before everything else, students also must sit as a

Senior High School and the DepEd Division Office. The education chief, along with Undersecretary for Administrative Services Alain del Pascua, joined President Duterte and other Cabinet members in inspecting the destruction and encouraging the disaster-stricken Surigaonons to be strong in the face of this challenge. The DepEd and the DPWH also agreed to design new school buildings based on the latest National Structural Code of the Philippines 2010 and on the Minimum Performance Standard Specifications to make the structures physically resilient. The buildings are designed to withstand strong

winds and major earthquakes. The structural component of the building, such as footing, columns and beams, are made bigger. Briones recommends the construction of school buildings that can withstand wind velocity at 350 kilometer per hour after the heavy destruction on classrooms brought about by typhoons Nina and Lawin that hit Cagayan Valley and the Bicol Region. Both agencies are working on the finalization of the new school-building design, which they target to implement this year. The total budget of the DepEd for 2017 is PI 09 billion to cover the construction of classrooms for K to 12, technical-vocational workshop laboratories and replacement of old and dilapidated classrooms.

are being taught value-laden aspects, good attitude for them to have a good character, yes, definitely aside from being taught with the basics and fundamentals of Mathematics, Science and other subjects, they must learn good moral and proper conduct. As early as in Pre-school and Kindergarten, educators must instill in the minds and hearts of the learners that to

have good values is of utmost necessity. We have to educate their young minds. And, on the process of educating these young minds, fellow educators, let us not forget to always inject patience, perseverance and utmost understanding to them. It is of much importance and significance as well that we must set as good examples for them to follow.

good example. Well, it does not take or require polish nails for our nails to be beautiful, but let us just remind our students that we should always have clean nails. And yes, as always said, “Cleanliness is next to Godliness”. Moreover, it does not require a teacher to at all times wear heavy make-up just because she is a teacher of beauty care. Being simple with a smile is always a giant hook. They

are only there to enhance our beauties but remember everyone, you are all beautiful, we are all beautiful. Aside from polishing nails, doing hair and makeup, I believe, again that there is more to teaching and imparting beauty care to our students. Not only that they can use is as a skill but indeed, beauty care might as well and can our children’s future.

TABLON ES “BOX OF JOY” By Ella Cleofe O. Barquez – Pasco, MAEd Teacher III Tablon Elementary School

Christmas brings joy to everyone. It is the most awaited time of the year. It is the merriest celebration in the Philippines. For kids, Christmas is the time that each one receives gifts either from parents or from godparents or even from close friends and classmates, relatives and friends. But what is really the meaning of Christmas? Is it receiving? or giving? Let me clear this to all of you. The Supreme Pupil Government (SPG) of Tablon Elementary School shares the meaning of Christmas through a “gift-giving” activity. It is a planned activity because it was done ahead of time. Each officer, member

and friends donated pair of slippers sizes 31-33 and a toy (either for a boy or for a girl). The purpose of this activity is to share their blessings voluntarily to the Grade I pupils of Tignapuluan Elementary School and other school in the Southwest District with the hope that the simple things they share could help them in a little way and most of all inspire these kids to pursue and finish their studies. This is also another way of giving them comfort and making them realize that even simple children like them still have the right to be happy on Christmas day. The “Box of Joy” was realized through the combined

efforts of the Supreme Pupil Government (SPG) Officers of School Year 2016-2017 through their President Ralph Angelo B.

But Sanchez said the NPA finds “ominous” the mayor’s statement that should the NPA decline her gesture, a viable alternative would be to “leave it everything to the AFP.” In the mayor’s statement issued on February 20, the mayor said she wants to talk with the rebels as a group to discuss her plans. “My offer is limited by my authority over the area of my responsibility,” the mayor said, as she urged the NPA to “think about this offer seriously since this will benefit you, our

She said this will help growers improve their income, create jobs, livelihood and spur economic activities in the city and the region. Data from the High Value Commercial Crops Development Program shows that 90 percent of the total cacao production in the country is sourced mostly from Mindanao. The same data shows that 80 percent of this comes from the Davao Region.

Muslim Mindanao (PDEAARMM) in launching an offensive against some 15 persons involved in illegal drugs in its hide out in the middle of banana plantation in Barangay Lipao here. “We will take active roles now, we will cleanse our AOR of drug personalities,” Cabunoc told reporters. The anti-drug operation against Abdulatip Pendaliday, alias “Commander Gras Cutter,” also led to the injury of two of his followers and two soldiers, including an Army lieutenant. Cabunoc withheld the identities of the injured soldiers and the suspects “because follow-up operations are still going on against Pendaliday.” Pendaliday, a known bigtime drug lord, has surrendered to the police during the implementation of “Oplan TokHang” last year with a promise he will do away with illegal drug trade. As the soldiers were closing in on two shanties in the middle of vast banana plantation, Pendaliday’s followers opened fire on government forces, triggering brief fire fight ensued that lasted about 15 minutes. Then the drug pushers, including Pendaliday escaped to different directions. However, two of his followers were injured and arrested by government forces. Cabunoc and PDEA operatives more than PHP500,000 methamphetamine hydrochloride, drugs paraphernalia, cash and an Armalite rifle. Cabunoc said Pendaliday was trading illegal drugs in the middle of the plantation to avoid detection by pursuing PDEA operatives. His clients come in the guise of clearing the plantation of unwanted grass to secure the stuff. After the firefight, Cabunoc then directed his men

to bring the two wounded drug pushers to the 33rd IB headquarters and were given first aid treatment. Cabunoc, former AFP public affairs office chief, assumed a week ago as chief of the 33rd IB. He vowed to cleanse his area of jurisdiction of illegal drug personalities in compliance to directive from AFP national headquarters. (PNA)

IBP Misor chapter elects officers By MARK FRANCISCO

ATTY. Eddie Cuaresma became the newly-elected Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) Misamis Oriental chapter president after his election into office last February 25 at Grand Caprice Restaurant in Cagayan de Oro City. Cuaresma’s journey to the IBP’s local top spot was a short one. When he was the regional executive director of the National Youth Commission (NYC) 10 in the 2000s, Cuaresma was still a law student. After he finally aced the bar exams early this decade, he resigned from the commission and became active in private practice, first as an activist lawyer with the Union of People’s Lawyers of Mindanao (UPLM). Now Cuaresma intends to bring his widespread leadership style at the IBP local chapter which has a total of more than 1,000 members on board. Cuaresma said he intends to strengthen the chapter through establishing a new group insurance among lawyers.

On top of that, he said the local IBP chapter will also fully support the Supreme Court’s (SC) fast-tracking of the transfer of the regional Hall of Justice at their new temporary place along Masterson Ave. in Upper Carmen. A dozen regional trial court and municipal trial court in cities salas are currently cramped at City Hall after the old Hall of Justice was razed down in January 2015. Cuaresma is hoping that the new Hall of Justice – which will sit in an existing but renovated two-storey building – will be put into use by April this year. Meanwhile in his valedictory message, Raagas said the IBP has assisted dozens of indigents who cannot afford litigation. One of their clients is Maria Leouruppe Barros, widow of tokhang victim and former Claveria, Misamis Oriental administrator Benildo Barros. She is challenging Claveria police chief Chief Insp. Salvador Castillon Jr. and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) led by Region 10 director

THE Tau Gamma Phi (Triskelion) Cagayan de Oro City Council held an outreach for a hundred kids – combined residents of

Boystown Cagayan de Oro and Tahanan ng Kabataan. Kids who are not yet in their teens and who are abandoned from their parents are housed at Boystown while juveniles aged 13 to 18 who have

pending conflicts with the law are living in Tahanan ng Kabataan. According to event organizer Josephus Olario, a past president of the Tau Gamma Phi Cagayan de See holds, page A7

Teresa Pimentel, convenor of the event, said the feeding program launch was the Mindanaoans’ version to celebrate the anniversary of the 1986 People Power that led to the downfall of the martial law regime. Ms. Pimentel pointed out that it was in Mindanao where the seeds of the protest movement against the then President Ferdinand Marcos took roots when then Mayor Aquilino Pimentel Jr., the senator’s father, openly criticized him.
