Misor dads to probe MisOrCareS opens two serial killings in Opol more extension offices By Mark D. Francisco Staffmember

CAGAYAN de Oro City-The Misamis Oriental Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) committee on peace and order is set to investigate next week what appears to be a continuing series of murders in Opol town. Committee chair Benedict Lagbas compared what is happening at barangay Barra in Opol to what hap-

pened in Gingoog City last April where a series of drugrelated killings took place. It was only when the Philippine National Police (PNP) sent in a huge police presence in the area that the homicide rate drastically went down. Now Lagbas and fellow SP member Boris Actub, who incidentally hails from Opol, wants to replicate the See probe, page A11

Mindanao gets P380 billion budget for 2016 By Antonio L. Colina IV of MindaNews

DAVAO City -- Mindanao will get P380 billion out of the P3.002 trillion approved national budget for 2016, an official of the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) said. Mindanao’s share this year is 12.7 percent of the national budget. Compared to last year’s P302.4 billion share, the island’s budget increased by 25.7 percent this year. Northern Mindanao – composed of Camiguin, Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte, and Bukidnon – will receive the highest chunk at P78.53 billion, having the biggest contribution to Mindanao’s growth, said Romeo Montenegro, director for Investment Promotion, International Relations and Public Affairs of MinDA. “On account of strong contribution to Mindanao

growth, it has the biggest share in terms of the need for infrastructure to accelerate further its output in agriculture,” he said during the Kapehan sa Dabaw at SM City on Monday. Davao Region (Davao City, Davao del Sur, Davao del Norte, Davao Occidental, Compostela Valley, and Davao Oriental) will receive the second highest budget at 67.6 billion. The Zamboanga Peninsula, composed of the three Zamboanga provinces, will get P66.61 million. The SOCCSKSARGEN – which consists of South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, and General Santos City – will receive P63.2 billion. The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) will get P53.47 billion. The C araga Region (Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, and Dinagat

Islands provinces) will get P51.74 billion. Mo nt e n e g r o a d d e d that most of the budget of ARMM and Caraga will be allocated for social sector component. “In areas where you need to focus on social services,

that’s where you should give and pour in infrastructure projects,” he added. This is the highest share that Mindanao received under the administration of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III, according to Montenegro.

“Mindanao can expect an increase in the budget this year in so far as we’ve been getting sustained increase in the budget allocation since the start of this administration,” he said. “We’ve seen an increase in the government spend-

ing particularly in major areas. This will translate to more roads, bridges, and other major infrastructure projects constructed to be able to address Mindanao connectivity requirements,” he said. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

Exec: Gingoog-Claveria-Villanueva road spurs city economic potential By Buboy Pabia

GINGOOG City -- Gingoog City-Claveria-Villanueva Road (GCVR) set to decongest traffic in national highway, lessen fuel consumption, shorten travels and spur economic potentials in the city. This was the statement of Gingoog city mayor Marie de Lara Guingona as she has been backing up for the ongoing implementation of P48,120,000 GCVR) of

the national government. Moreso, the realization of this alternative road definitely responds to our famers’ dream paving the way for their economic upliftment, said mayor Guingona. She further said GCVR answers to some causes of poverty being felt by our brothers and sisters in the mountains. Dako gayud kini og tabang sa pagbag-o sa kinabuhi sa atong mga kaigsoonang mag-uuma

Orthographic Writing in the Philippines By Mina M. Montila Maigo District

There are different dialects in the Philippines, considering the complex number of ethnic groups in this country. These dialects are used by the speakers in day to day conversation, in mass media, in governance and everywhere, except in schools. Before the K to 12 Basic Education Program has been implemented, schools nationwide are using English language and Filipino in delivering instructions. However, under K to 12 Basic Education program, that is a system now established in Philippine Education, MTB-MLE or Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education has been strengthened. MTB-MLE is a program that uses mother-tongue language in conducting classes for earlier levels of education, specifically grades one, two and three. This has addressed slow-paced learning among students, for mother-tongue is a best tool in learning other languages such as English and Filipino. This educational system shift has allowed the use of local dialects in conducting classes in schools, and thus suggested a hard look at the various Philippine languages. In fact, on-

line site of Multilingual Philippines, it is stated that one of the main concerns in the implementation of MTB-MLE is the supposed lack of intellectualization of Philippine languages, such as the lack or absence of efficient orthography. In Ilocano, for example, there are concerns for evaluation, and refinements to make the present orthography easier to teach to very young learners. Philippines has undergone a lot of stages comes to orthography. It first embraced Pre-Hispanic Scripts, then progressed to the adoption of Latin Script. In 1940 then, Lope K. Santos created the Abakada alphabet, which contains 20 letters. The alphabet was officially adopted by the Institute of National Language as an alphabet for the Tagalog-Based National Language to “indigenize” the writing system. Tagalog-Based National Language was then renamed as Pilipino Alphabet, and eventually revised as Modern Filipino Alphabet which is used until now. It seems these days of MTB-MLE, everyone ran their curiousness back to their own language. May this lead to a more clear and efficient Philippine orthography.

Banez leaves City Hall, abandons Moreno Mindanao Daily NEWS northmin . westmin . caraga . davao

Where is the controversial acting Cagayan De Oro City Treasurer Glenn Banez? Some readers asked this corner after noting that an “Engineer” is now “acting” as City Treasurer here. An informant also disclosed that Banez has resigned the first week of January. This information could not be independently confirmed since not one of our reporters have filed a story about the sudden “disappearance” of Banez in the City Hall. Anyway, Banez becomes controversial when, as an appointed acting City Treasurer, he refused to heed the implementation of the newly approved City’s 2015 Tax Code. Banez was reportedly heard as saying that under the Local Government Code, the City Council could not dictate the City Treasurer on matters of tax collection. Often, Banez would also hint that the City Treasurer is beholden only to the City Mayor. No doubt, Banez, who was handpicked by Mayor Oscar Moreno as one of the members of the City Finance Committee, has

to be overwhelmingly subservient to Moreno. It is also not surprising that the Ombudsman would dismiss both Banez and Moreno for Grave Misconduct by entering into an agreement without the knowledge of the City Council. For all intents and purposes, Moreno is already a “dismissed” City Mayor since November 12, 2015 when the Ombudsman’s dismissal order was served on that day. Moreno is only holding on to his position on the strength of the Temporar y Restraining Order (TRO). The TRO expired last January 12, 2016. Moreno, however, continues to stay because the Court of Appeals (CA) based in Cagayan De Oro City granted his petition for a writ of preliminary injunction. The writ of preliminar y injunction normally follows when the TRO is granted. The WPI, however, is not absolute. Once the Office of the Ombudsman upholds the decision to dismiss Moreno, the WPI losses value. Moreno has to step down. The argument that

There is also information that the Ombudsman would be handing down the decisions involving the plunder raps against Moreno. Whether this information is true, it is certain that the sudden flight of Banez has anything to do with the Ombudsman’s dismissal order and Moreno’s futile efforts to stay in power. If it is true that Banez left the country for a greener pasture abroad, the early resignation in City Hall would be the best option. Leaving the country this early would also give Banez a peace of mind. -0- Send comments/reactions: crisguardian@yahoo.com

the graft court’s order was not final and executory is implausible. If this is the case, was the sudden disappearance or resignation of Banez has something to do with Moreno’s final exit? By the way, House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte has reportedly recommended Banez as the City Treasurer. It follows that Banez has good connections in the “higher ups.” Perhaps, this is this connection that Banez refused to buckle down with the Cagayan De Oro City Council. But, why the sudden resignation? There are insinuations that Banez already knew about Moreno’s futile efforts to stay as Cagayan De Oro City Mayor? Banez knew that Moreno could no longer get away with the Ombudsman’s dismissal order. The dismissed City Treasurer might have also been advised by his contacts, perhaps, by Speaker Belmonte, to leave Moreno. Resignation and dissociating with Moreno is the only option for Banez to be spared from possible public ridicule and shame.

merged, the more the people are getting in touch one another. It implies that no one can avoid getting in touch with other nation throughout the world. All are borderless though they are geographically in different regions. But, each regional territory has their nations being merged together for the global interaction. When the lives and their nature have been merged, it must be followed up by the erudite people. Explicitly, when the scholars in colleges are still keeping themselves a lot without having a global vision, it must be ironical. There is no time to keep ourselves a lot departing from the reality that the world is now borderless. The consequences are so varied. All the programs must be translated into the

actions related to a global vision. It is risky when the colleges and the faculty members teaching the students without having a global vision. The students with their turbulent future and uncertainties must be equipped with strategies in tackling their lives. AEC for example, demand all colleges to adapt to the consequences. The college should think of alumni such as how to find a job after they leave their college. The degree of competition is really high while we are living in the global economic community. In that case, the colleges and the faculty members should do some efforts to provide some skills and strategies for the students for their future. Global vision for them is therefore a must. Otherwise, the existence of the college they are running will be useless. Collaboration and cooperation among the colleges from different countries will be a good strategy for facing the AEC. Among the nations in the countries of AEC territory can enhance the academic activities by blending their ideas and experiences. See djuwari, page A11

Attitude is everything

SOME of the challenges we face in life may be very difficult ones, but God never allows more to come upon us than we can bear. In fact, with every temptation, He always provides a way out. The scripture not only says He provides a way out, but He gives us

the strength to bear up under trials with patience. That means we can go through them with a good attitude! Maintaining a good attitude in the midst of something unpleasant is the key to victory, and it enables us to enjoy the journey.

“Conceptual Model-Based Problem Solving: Its Effects on the Achievement of Grade7 Students and their Attitude Towards Mathematics” By Pailmao, Evangeline M.

This study investigated the effects of Conceptual Model-based Problem Solving (COMPS) approach on the achievement and attitude of Grade 7 students in Mathematics. Sixty-two (62) Grade 7 students officially enrolled in CDONHS-Balu-

lang Annex, Cagayan de Oro City were the participants of the study. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was used in the study. The data were gathered using the 35-item achievement test and Aiken’s Mathematics Attitude scale. A 9-item open-ended prompt and focus group discussion were also used to determine the experiences of students toward Mathematics when taught with COMPS. The results were analyzed using

the mean, standard deviation, one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), and t-test for independent samples at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed a significant difference in the achievement in Mathematics between those students taught using COMPS and those students taught without using COMPS, in favor of the experimental group. Furthermore, the achievement level in Mathematics of Grade 7 students taught

Black & Veatch completes EPC role in Therma South power plant Editorial: e-mail: mindanaodailynews@gmail.com • Advertising: e-mail: mindanaodaily.ads@gmail.com Contact: 0917-7121424, 0947-8935776

THE Black & Veatch has completed its prime EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) role at Therma South Units 1 & 2 near Davao City, Philippines. The project is the first major power facility to come online in nearly 10 years in Mindanao to serve an expanding economy and population in the region. The additional 300 megawatts of power added to the grid is expected to help alleviate the daily power cuts faced by millions of Mindanaoans. “It is a proud moment in Black & Veatch’s 100 year history to be a part of a significant project that is providing Mindanaoans with reliable and efficient power. The successful completion of the plant is coming at the right time as the coming dry season is expected to affect the power output from surrounding hydro power plants which provide much of the region’s electricity today,” said Todd Edsall, Project Manager, Black & Veatch. The plant features Southeast Asia’s first coal dome designed in accordance to the environmental require-

ments set by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Philippines. Its primary function is to minimize surface area in which dust can settle and for the safe storage of the plant’s fuel supply. Black & Veatch was the overall project and commissioning manager for the 300 megawatt circulating fluidized bed coal-fired plant. Drawing on its longestablished Asian-based execution and procurement centers, the Black & Veatch team provided balance of plant engineering and procurement services. Black & Veatch was also responsible for providing the EPC solution for material handling, plant wide fire protection and offshore piping for cooling water, in addition to site management and commissioning services. “We have deep in-house technical knowledge that is supported by seamless execution coordination across multiple Black & Veatch offices in China, India and the United States. Combined with project management skills and understanding of different global and local engineering standards See therma, page A11

Solar boom in Negros might disrupt power grid By Juzel L. Danganan

THE solar boom in Negros Occidental might disrupt its power grid, according to Aboitiz Power Corp. chief executive Erramon I. Aboitiz. “It’s about 300 megawatts (MWs) of solar capacity, when the demand of the whole of Negros is 200 MW. When all the power generation is there, where will the remaining power go,” he told reporters. The Aboitiz chief executive officer stressed that the developers, which are building the solar farms, have transmission line constraints on passing power to other parts of the Visayas grid. He also said rains might cause the solar farms’ power production to drop and lead to brownouts. Aboitiz pointed out that the Philippines should mandate a fuel mix to avoid dependence on a certain fuel source.

The Aboitiz chief executive added that the grid instability concern was already presented, but is without any solution yet. Among the solar projects in the area are Gregorio Araneta’s 100-MW farm in Cadiz City, 59-MW San Carlos Sun Power, Inc. (SACASUN) and 80-MW Negros Island Solar Power. The projects are racing to meet the Feed-in-Tariff deadline on March 15, 2016, which will allow the developers to charge at a rate of Php 8.69 per kilowatthour (kWh). Wind farms in North Luzon were also unable to pass off their power to the Luzon grid due to transmission line constraints. (PNA)

The strategy should be derived from global vision. The strategy should be started by the leaders of the colleges. The next steps are policies and tactics developed from the global vision and the strategy for the real implementation. So, managing a college is even more difficult than managing a company. A college management requires more horizon and innovation than a company management. Managing a college is more difficult because a college deals with the process of making the input (human beings) to become the expected output (human resources) ready for their future which is more turbulent and full of uncertainties. This implies that global vision of the college in ASEAN needs the brainy and broad-minded leaders. **** Dr. Djuwari is the Director of Language Laboratory, STIE Perbanas Surabaya.

modeling and repair its leaked pipes. For now, COWD loses about 80,000 cubic meters of water every day or 49.5 percent of what it produces. That should be unacceptable, according to COWD spokesperson Ladele A. Sagrado, considering that the Local Water Utilities Administration (Lwua) has earlier pegged non-revenue water to be only at the 20 percent level. In the agreement that was witnessed by USAID Philippines director on environment Jeremy Gustafson, USAID’s Be Secure Project chief of party Mona Greiser, Coca-cola Foundation Philippines president Cecilia Alcantara and Public Works and Highways Undersecretary Catalina Cabral, the grant also covers technical assistance for NRW reduction strategy and implementation, mapping an updated geographic information system database and as well as an updated district metered area design. Ms. Sagrado explained that in order to do this, a survey of all facilities and customers within the focus areas will first be conducted to update existing records. This will include tagging of watering meters and ultimately leading to layings of new pipes. Engineering works will be undertaken by Miya, a global leader in optimizing urban water efficiency. The fund is culled from USAID’s Be Secure Project which is a Philippinesspecific program aimed at strengthening water sector regulatory reform in the country. The rest of the P458-million project will be budgeted via a loan by COWD to the Development Bank of the Philippines. Coca-cola Foundation’s role is to use the total volume of water saved to offset its own commercial water consumption and reduce its water footprint.

Ms. Sagrado said that once the project will be completed in 2017, it will reduce the non-revenue water generated by the utility at 30 percent.

Charities Inc., Rodriguez asked that Cagayan De Oro City to be part of the itinerary of Miss Universe 2016 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach. “I learned that Wurtzbach is coming to the Philippines from New York City, where she is currently based,” Rodriguez said. He said that, during her brief sojourn, Wurtzbach would be visiting some places in the Philippines but has not included Cagayan De Oro City as part of her itinerary. Rodriguez said that he wrote to Araneta to ask for the inclusion of Cagayan De Oro City as part of the newly crowned Miss Universe as her itinerary. “It would be a fitting tribute for the Miss Universe to visit her hometown in Cagayan De Oro City, where she could feel the love and pride of the Cagay-anons. The red carpet would definitely roll during her visit here,” Rodriguez said. He said that he also filed a resolution in Congress designating Ms. Wurtzbach as Cagayan De Oro City’s Ambassador of Goodwill. Rodriguez also filed a bill in Congress to exempt all the winnings of Ms. Wurtzbach from taxes.

the same experience in Barra, particularly zeroing in at Vamenta Subdivision. Lagbas whined that the illegal drugs problem in Opol has been going on for the past 20 years and remains unabated despite persistent efforts by the PNP to curb it every now and then. In the past week alone, five killings have taken place, Actub said, adding that most of the victims are visitors to the area. With this, Actub wants a more formidable presence within the confines of Vamenta Subdivision, a contingent from the Regional Public Safety Battalion (RPSB) perhaps. During the SP regular session last Monday, Actub stood on the floor and suggested that cordons and curfews be implemented in the environs around Vamenta Subdivision to discourage lawless elements from perpetrating their crimes and committing another killing there. Actub feared that if not checked, the situation in Vamenta Subdivision would spill over other gated villages in the area and eventually spread into neighboring barangays of Iponan and Bulua in Cagayan de Oro City and the adjacent barangays in Opol. With this, Lagbas said that the SP committee on peace and order would

jointly meet with the Opol municipal council committee on peace and order later this week to discuss the problem.

24 barangays,” Emano said. He further explained that since the MisOrCareS program started over one year and a half ago, his office has continuously received requests both written and verbal, for the establishment of the said offices. “While those needing hospitalization are ably served by our Alubijid pro-

vincial hospital, patients and their family members find it quite problematic to be commuting from their residences of these towns to have their needs amply served,” Emano added. With these offices within their reach, residents do not have to travel to Cagayan de Oro City or Alubijid to avail of services of MisOrCareS. “We intend to establish MisOrCareS extension offices in every town as the need arises,” Emano said. MisOrCareS is a health program initiated by the Governor when he took

office, to give better opportunities to the “poorest of the poor” to avail of medical and social services. It adopts a “zero-billingzero payment” policy for patients in the eight (8) provincial hospitals. Its social services component gives free coffin, free embalming and free transportation. As of January 10, MisOrCareS has rendered a total of 607,972 services, of which 72,238 services were given by the provincial hospital in Alubijid to which their catchment of this city and Opol town belong.

GET A HUAWEI POCKET WIFI AND BE A #HOTSPOTHOTTIE The Huawei Flash, Huawei Spark and Huawei Lightning take full advantage of Huawei’s mobile broadband network compatibility to deliver fast and uninterrupted internet connectivity on-the-go. DECEMBER 6, 2015—Much like Christmas trees and those lavish decorations with the bright lights, lining up to have your picture taken with a guy in a red suit has become part of the yearly holiday mall events. Mall goers at the SM Mall of Asia, however, were in for quite a different surprise, as instead of Santa Claus, people were taking photos of a group of handsome men in red and white, who instead of gifts were giving out free WiFi--both to the naughty and nice! Later revealed as the #HuaweiHotspotHotties, these foreign models led shoppers to the Cyberzone event center where Huawei exhibited their latest line of pocket WiFi devices via a mini fashion show. “The #HuaweiHotspotHotties characterize the sleek and elegant look of our new WiFi devices that are guaranteed to make heads turn for a second look, says Charles Wu country manager of Huawei’s consumer business group. “But more than just its refined and stunning appearance, Huawei’s new connectivity devices also delivers fast uninterrupted 3G and LTE connectivity wherever you go.” Wu said the event was held to educate internet users of the advantages and features of the devices, and let them experience firsthand why people are now asking for a Huawei when purchasing a pocket WiFi.
