Chinese exec: Davao fit for monorail project mark francisco, Section Editor EDITOR: CHENG ORDOñEZ

January 26, 2017

DAVAO CITY – A detailed feasibility study has yet to be conducted, but this early a representative from a state-owned Chinese railway developer said that Davao City is “fit for monorail” project. Jiang Zhiping, planning and management deputy director of the market development center at the China Railway Engineering Consulting Group Co., said in a press conference on Monday that his group was keen on pursuing the project to ease traffic in downtown Davao. “The monorail is almost the cheapest urban transit in cities. For China, monorail is very popular now and secondly, it does not occupy roads. The monorail is very light and the structure is very simple,” he said. If it pushes through, he said the project will be the first undertaking of their company outside China.

He estimated that the project will take about three years – one year for engineering and planning and two years for the construction. According to Bloomberg, the CREC is a company based in Beijing, China which operates as a subsidiary under China Railway Group Limited and offers engineering services. CREC’s website said the company was the former Professional Institute of Ministry of Railway in China founded in February 1953. “It is a large comprehensive survey and design group specializing in engineering survey, design, consultancy, construction supervision, general contracting, and scientific research and development,” it said.

eral challenges of learning, including language processing, reasoning, planning, and cognitive modelling. Known as Intelligent Tutor Systems, computer software is able track the “mental steps” of the learner during problem-solving tasks to diagnose misconceptions and estimate the learner understands of the domain. This can also prescribe learning activities at the level of difficulty and with the content most appropriate for the learner. Artificial intelligence

can help organize and synthesize content to support content delivery. Known as deep learning systems, technology can read, write and emulate human behaviour. Progress in artificial intelligence and machine learning has been impressive, but there is still much work to be done to advance learning science. While some progress is being made to bring artificial intelligence to the education space as described above, these efforts pale in comparison to advancements in the non-education space. a robot from Cornell

University, learned how to perform various small tasks, and then “taught” Baxter, another robot from Brown University, how to perform the same tasks in an alternate setting. Another robot took an IQ test with tasks in vocabulary, comparisons and comprehension and was found to have the intelligence of a 4-year-old. The possibilities for artificial intelligence to make significant contributions in any field are tremendous, and education shouldn’t be left behind.

experience as a teacher, they provide vision and leadership to school and are ultimately responsible for keeping the school running smoothly. The presence of a good teacher or principal often provide training to their staff In addition they often

serve as spokesperson for their school to parents and community at large. Head Teacher often have some oversight our curriculum choices.

the Head Teachers impact their school is through hiring and retention of excellent. To be a Head Teacher is not an easy task and full of responsibilities, challenges. But why embraced this kind of Profession? Because of their love and passion to educate young people for a better future.

Desperate Measures against the Fruits of Premarital Sex By Maria Sheila G. Acacio Padernal Elementary School District 07, Division of Malaybalay City

In our society today, premarital sex is very rampant. In fact, 15 out of 25 teenagers have admitted that they have engaged with adolescent copulation. Due to this rampant problem, many more effects or fruits of this premarital sex has now emerged such as: the growth of the number of HIV victims and teenage pregnancy. To deal with this problem, our gov-

ernment has implemented on Public High schools to have Sex education so that the ignorance of the youth about this problem will be diminished yet, the problem is still a reality and at present, it has gone worst. Many are now thinking that ignorance is not the main element why premarital sex is very rampant, many are now blaming lack of discipline as the root of this problem.

Because of the extensive effects, distribution of condoms on public high schools is now being proposed. Because we cannot prevent it from happening, the state is now focused on preventing the alleged fruits of premarital sex from widespread but not premarital sex alone. For me, in order to prevent this sort of epidemic, we must also focus on the atmosphere of the youth today. Because many factors of premarital sex are due to the community’s

environment many are forced due to peer pressure or even being forced by adults due to our certain traditional belief; “Kung lalaki ka, huwag kang umayaw.” And because of this orientation, the youth is now highly affected. We must not only reform our ways on preventing the fruits of premarital sex but also in reforming our society into a community that is not based on traditional orientation that are being pressured to the youth.

Teacher: Is Teaching More Stressful Than Other profession? By Ruel A.Acera ESHT –II Mabuhay Elementary School Division of Valencia City

Maybe we can say in short answer “yes”. It’s more stressful that most realize especially early on and “early on” can last for several years. Like what you have to understand is that the preparation is not simply significant, it is where much of the stress comes in. You’re preparing something which you’re going to use to dictate more than 30 students going tomorrow maybe of those children don’t want even to be there. In many cases, like

running a department full of easily disgruntled employees who have to do something brand new everyday, that this kind of stress frankly most workers don’t understand.All jobs have a range of stress, there are times when they are extremely stressful and other times when they are less. Teaching fluctuates as well. It is a hard job to “average out”. Citing some instances that add stress to teachers. New teachers are typically thrown in to some worst

teaching conditions without inadequate experience. It’s a sink and swim approach, since it is very isolating profession many don’t last. It is a consuming profession and if teacher don’t have burning passion for kids, it can be a mind boggling. Teaching is a life style job. You can’t leave your office and separate it from your private life. You have to deal with more number of students and parents, they all have different challenges and objectives. You have to deal with lot of hostility, deal with many different expectations that do not

often coordinate, you have to repair problems that you have no part in it .Do other profession deal with these challenges too? Of course no one said they didn’t. But teachers deals with them on a daily basis and often cannot do anything to alleviate them. You can’t just reassign your students to another teacher. Moreover, few in other profession that people asked to be held accountable for things beyond their control. We don’t blame police for criminal behavior but teachers are blamed for student’s behavior.

The work of a teacher might be one of the hardest jobs on the planet. A teacher must be patient, resourceful and multitasking in order to be comfortable with this job. From being a student teacher up to a professional or master teacher, stress and struggle are always present. Before sleeping, a teacher must create Instructional materials and finish their lesson plans for the next day, after rising from sleep, he must review and finalize his lessons and before class starts, he must check upon his advisory class and then he will proceed to his first period. Many think that the struggle of a teacher starts when the first bell will ring but actually, it starts earlier than many presume. Indeed the work of an educator is very hard sometimes even, he must deal with the many problems of the students such as; bullying, cheat-

ing, addiction and other things and he must also deal with the parents who are complaining about their child’s grades and he also have his personal problems. Aside from all the struggles, and all the pains, stress and sleepless nights, a teacher’s job is also the most rewarding. Someday, if his students will graduate college, he will see that through his efforts, the students have attained all their wishes and dreams. That one day when they will meet, even those students who are said to have contributed the most problems in his teaching career, he will see them as successful men and women already working and truly, the teacher has become an instrument of their success. He has become a bearer of the most precious treasure that cannot be robbed; Education.

Free public higher education initiative is pro-poor: De Vera THE inclusion of P8.3B for free tuition in public higher education in the 2017 budget is the necessary first step in President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s election promise to help young people, particularly the poor, get university education. This is the statement issued by Commission on Hig her E duc at ion (CHED) Commissioner Prospero de Vera in response to a recent declaration of CHED Chair Patricia Licuanan that the P8.3B allocation will not help the poor because majority have stopped schooling and are no longer enrolled in universities. This view, according to de Vera, is insensitive and elitist given the demand for access and equity in higher education by many Filipinos, particularly those coming from poorer households. According to de Vera, studies all over the world show that higher levels of educational attainment are strongly correlated with better employment and higher income. Every poor Filipino student who is able to enrol in college,

increases his/her chance to get employed, helps his/ her family, and becomes a productive member of society. Even if only 8% of students currently enrolled in higher education are poor, as Licuanan claims, the P8.3B infusion would still help close to 150,000 poor students complete their education. The new funding will also alert more students from poor households that they can enrol in universities. De Vera asked: “Besides, what was the basis to say that only 8% of the poor are enrolled in higher education? How is “poor” defined? And are the current tuition rates in the 114 state universities and colleges (SUCs) prohibitive only for poor households?” “CHED officials have been asserting that the national government should increase investments in higher education. Now that the national leadership has added P8.3B for higher education, I find it surprising and even ironic that the CHED leadership says it is insufficient and won’t help poor students,” de Vera added.

de Vera

“We should not look at the P8.3B additional allocation as a one-time stand alone fund to help students in SUCs. Close to P5.75B worth of scholarships and financial assistance is already imbedded in the regular CHED budget plus there is the Higher Education Development Fund (HEDF),” said De Vera. Instead of questioning the impact of the new appropriation of poor students, CHED should immediately draft the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the P8.3B fund and make sure it is linked with all other student financial assistance funds available in the CHED, according

to De Vera. This will ensure that on top of the free tuition, students can also get the much needed stipends for their day to day needs in time for the June opening of classes, added De Vera. “Once the free public higher education initiative is implemented this ye ar, we can ident if y any gaps and compute the additional costs of providing assistance to students. Then we can go back to Congress to ask for more funding to fully implement President Duterte’s commitment that no student will be barred from getting a university education on account of financial need,” added de Vera.

You need to reconcile to your enemies The Gospel of Jesus Christ (January 26, 2017-Thursday) Luke 12:54-59” There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. [Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, [as thou art] in the way,

give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into “prison.” I tell thee, thou shall not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite: Jesus criticized the people for being blind to the presence of Jesus in their midst. In John9:1-2-there is really “physically blind” but on the other side, there

is also “blind spiritually.” In Mark 8:17-when Jesus knew [it], he said unto them, why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened? Are you blind? Jesus reminds us to open our eyes for the truth. In Hebrews 12:2-looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured

Before you can reach the eternal life; you need first to settle everything on this earth. You need to reconcile to your enemies because if not; you cannot taste the goodness they have also in their lives. You need to

Just how to Play Archery By Grace E. ESoy, SST-III Halapitan National High School

MGen. Benjamin R Madrigal Jr., 4th Infantry Division commander, ordered his line unit commanders to maintain close coordination with the different Disaster Response and Rehabilitation Management Councils (DRRMCs), through the Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response (HADR), in their respective area of responsibilities, especially that the calamity has caused immense damage in many areas and has displaced thousands of people. In response, the 401st Infantry Brigade, covering the provinces of Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, and Butuan City, has already deployed close to 400 soldiers, who are conducting HADR in their areas of assignments. They were able to help the different LGUs and other rescuers to transport more than 12,000 affected families or 50,836 individuals to the different evacuation centers in the said provinces and city. photo supplied

The joys of teaching teenagers By Raquel Rita D. Salingay, School Head Kinawe National High School

Teaching teens stretches me to look into areas that I wouldn’t normally. Trying to keep my teen classes engaged and focused, I have delved into project work and taskbased learning. I have learned new approaches to teaching that I wouldn’t have tried without the fear instilled by the thought of going into a teen class with a boring course-book

and a 3-hour-stretch ahead of you. In an effort to find common ground, I have explored material that I didn’t think I was interested in; sports, the latest singers and whatever the ‘next big thing’ is. And I’ve learned the hard way never to try to ‘get down with the kids’ and be their friend. They want a teacher, leader, manager, and in-

spiration – they will find their own friends amongst their peers. Teens are teens. I think it’s important to remember that these are not fully formed adults and that they are coming to terms with so many changes in their lives, feelings, moods, and so on. In her book “Why are teenagers so weird?” studies which show that the teenage brain undergoes much greater changes than thought previously.

What we interpret as laziness, pig-headedness or lack of concentration might all be linked to a process rewiring and remodeling in the very structure of the brain. MRI research in teenage brains have shown that behavior thought to be controlled by hormone imbalances are actually related to the break-down and reconstruction of neurons. I think that puts classroom behavior issues into some perspective.

The battle has begun. Your heart is pounding. You crouch below a barrier, listening, waiting for the first volley of arrows. One grazes the space just above your head. You gather yourself upright, draw your own arrow, and aim carefully before losing it towards your opponent. No, this is not a scene from Hunger Games or a 12th century battleground. This is Archery Tag, the newest extreme sport that lets you release. Keep reading to learn how to play archery tag! Archery Tag is a blend of dodge ball, paintball, and laser tag. It combines the best aspects of these sports while adding the skill of archery. A safe sport that can be played both indoors and outdoors, Archery Tag can be a year-round activity

that everyone can enjoy. Interested in playing this archery-based sport? We have put together the ultimate guide for how to play archery tag to get you from beginner to pro level in no time. Skip ahead to a section you’re most interested or start with the rules for an end-to-end overview of this exciting new sport. The objective of archery tag is to “tag” members of the other team with your foam-tipped arrows. When an arrow hits a player, the participant is eliminated from the game. While removing members of the opposing team stacks the odds in your favor, your ultimate goal is to knock out the five centers on the spottarget located on the competitors’ side.

SSS is new brand of people’s capitalism “With proposed innovations in investments, the Social Security System (SSS) is shaping a new developmental ideology to give the working class an opportunity to be the richest in the country through their pooled savings in the pension fund,” said Social Security Commission (SSC) Chairman Dean Amado Valdez. Speaking before the prestigious Rotary Club of Manila, Valdez said: “SSS’ approaches to its investments are shaping up a new developmental ideology that goes into the middle of those who are in the extreme right and left, suiting perfectly the people’s aspiration in pursuit of economic development.” Dean Valdez said that the new brand of capitalism maybe the start of a peaceful economic revoluCAGAYAN DE ORO MAIN BRANCH tion Pthat usher in the & J Limwill Bldg., Tiano Brothers Kalambagohan Sts., marginalized society Tel. # (08822) 727-829 * to the Telefax mainstream. # (088) 856-1947 economic “SSSCAMIGUIN is among BRANCHthe top B.

SSS plans to diversify assets by directly investing up to 25 percent ownership in a wide range of industries, including infrastructure projects like toll roads, real estate and even lottery operations, which are being studied rigorously by the SSC. “For example, these innovative approaches of SSS

in earning more for the pension fund may even result in the eradication of jueteng operations which is controlled by the rich. SSS plans to conduct lottery operations on its own and share the income from it to our pensioners,” Dean Valdez said. “The return on SSS investments has an average of seven percent for 2016, and we hope to bring it up by 15 to 20 percent next year following the enhancements in investment practices and the new investing projects and activities we plan to carry out in the next several months,” Dean Valdez said.

said. Go lauded the new administration for setting a clear agenda in improving peace and order and stamping out corruption. He added that the country’s improved relations with China and Japan would also favor the business sector in the country. “He has endeavored to create new markets in China and Japan and other countries as well. This is why the business community looks very favorably upon his performance,” he said. The survey was conducted among 1,200 respondents coming form different income classes. The results said that the strong believers of the Duterte administration are businessmen from ages 50 to 59 years old belonging to income classes A and B, followed by those who are 36-49 years old (87%). Those above 60 years old gave Duterte an approval rating of 83 percent for his policies and declarations, while those aged 18-35 years old indicated an 85-percent approval rating, the survey said. The administration’s war on drugs obtained the highest approval rating at 99 percent, followed by the nationwide liquor ban at 98 percent, nationwide anti-smoking ban at 97 percent, end of contract policy at 95 percent, and birth control policy at 94 percent.

Philippines, said the openness of President Rodrigo R. Duterte to Chinese investors is the major factor that has attracted investors like CREC. The city government and Philtram will sign a memorandum of understanding next month that will kick off the conduct of a business case and a feasibility study for the development of a monorail project, he said. He added the company will shoulder the expenses for the conduct of a business case and detailed feasibility study which would cost about P11-P12 million and will take about a year to complete. He said the monorail can run as fast as 80 km an

hour. The first phase will cost about P28 billion for a stretch of 14 km, he said. Guardo said they are planning to charge passengers with P10 to P11 base fare plus P1 for every succeeding kilometer. Guardo added the CREC constructs 30 percent of the high-speed trains and roads, and designs 80 to 90 percent of the monorail projects in China. He said the proposed monorail will have two to eight coaches, can hold about 1,000 passengers at any given time, and will be constructed in four phases. Although the project will be up for bidding through a public private partnership, Guardo said he is confident that they will be chosen as their proposal is more sustainable with a more forward-looking design. He added they plan to put up a mall and parking space for each station and would cater to cargo and logistics at nighttime to subsidize the operations of the monorail. Edward Geguerra, operations head of Philtram, said the terminal will cost about P500 million to P1billion while each kilometer will cost about P1 billion. In phase 1, as proposed, he said that station 1 will be located at the junction of R. Castillo St. and J.P Laurel Avenue Ave.; station 2 at SM Lanang; station 3 at the Southern Philippine Medical Center; station 4 at Abreeza of the Ayala Malls; station 5 at Gaisano Mall of Davao going until the Duterte Central Station at Roxas Avenue. Station 1 of phase 2 is planned to be at Quirino Avenue.; station 2 at Bankerohan; station 3 at NCCC Mall of Davao in Ma-a; station 3 at the junction of General Douglas MacArthur Highway and Quimpo Boulevard Diversion Road; station 4 at SM Ecoland; station 5 at the Davao City Overland Transport Terminal; and station 6 either near the office of the Land Transportation Office (LTO 11) or Davao City Recreation Center, also along Quimpo Blvd.; and then back to Duterte Central Station at Roxas Avenue. Phase 3 will connect the junction of General Douglas MacArthur Highway and Quimpo Boulevard Diversion Road to station 1 at the Matina Crossing;

Thursday, January 26, 2017 and then to station 2 in Bangkal, station 3 in Ulas, and the proposed South Bus Terminal in Toril. Gaguerra said planning for phase 4 is still in the works but they wanted to link it up with the proposed North Bus Terminal in Panacan. Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. president Ronald Go said in a text message that any transport system that will “unclutter or decongest our roads will always be a welcome development in the business community.” He said that a mass transit system such as a monorail will help make more possible the expeditious delivery of goods and services, benefiting both the businesses and the riding public. Earlier, Davao City Planning and Development Office head Ivan Cortez said wanted to know if the market size of the city would sustain the operations of the monorail. “The best indicator of development of a certain locality is when the public uses mass transit instead of cars because it means your transit system is effective and efficient,” he said.

for private sector support in addressing the drug problem,” said Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, chairman and CEO of Ayala Corporation and co-chairman of Ayala Foundation. “At Ayala, we have always believed that, whether in Mindanao or elsewhere in our archipelago, fostering inclusive development will always require collaboration between the government and the private sector,” Zobel de Ayala added. “We believe that the Siyapen Center will contribute significantly to the treatment and rehabilitation of drug dependents in ARMM, primarily in Marawi City,” said Ruel Maranan, president of Ayala Foundation. “In building Siyapen, we hope to provide a space where person-centered recovery is made first priority, thereby paving the way for

meaningful reintegration into society.” The construction of the Siyapen Center is part of Ayala Foundation’s continuing development efforts in Mindanao, particularly in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. In 2015, the foundation kicked off the Basilan Young Leaders Program–Leadership Communities, in partnership with the ARMM Office of the Regional Governor and the Eisenhower Fellows Association of the Philippines. Working with community-based youth, the program equipped these young leaders with the leadership skills to develop, implement, and monitor

projects that address urgent needs in their respective barangays. In 2016, the program grew to cover 10 areas in ARMM, and transformed into the Bangsamoro Young Leaders Program–Leadership Communities (BYLP– LeadCom). The inaugural batch of BYLP–LeadCom participants joined a learning tour of key locations in the Philippines. This year, they will conceptualize and operationalize change projects that they plan to implement in their respective communities. Ayala Foundation has also brought Training Institute, a teacher-training program that works within

the philosophy for children framework, to two public elementary schools in Basilan.

Ayala Foundation has partnered with the City Government of Marawi and the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao for the establishment of a drug rehabilitation facility in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur. To be called Siyapen Center (“siyapen” is the Maranao word for “care”), the 70-bed inpatient facility can also accommodate drug dependents undergoing outpatient care. It provides a space that encourages physical wellness and social integration. Located within the community, the center allows drug dependents to have better access to family and other forms of social support, which are crucial to their recovery. In addition, its proximity to a mosque opens up opportunities for spiritual counseling. The facility also allows for other therapeutic activities such

as exercise and group sessions. The Siyapen Center will occupy an existing building owned by the City Government of Marawi. Through Makati Development Corporation (MDC), the construction arm of Ayala Land Inc., Ayala Foundation will oversee the refurbishment of the structure, in keeping with the requirements for an efficient and humane drug rehabilitation facility. MDC will work on the facility from January to April 2017. Once completed, the Siyapen Center will be turned over to the City Government of Marawi for operations. “The Siyapen Drug Rehabilitation Center is our way of addressing another challenge Mindanao faces, and of responding to the national government’s call See facility, page A7
